The Wedding DJ 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • DJ
  • Serves Melbourne, IA

I absolutely enjoy what I do, I've been providing solid high quality entertainment to couples all over the state of Iowa for almost 40 years! I started my DJ career in 1984 in Davenport Iowa, at that time I was using two turntables and had to haul big heavy crates of LPs with me. Now I use 2 specifically dedicated laptop computers that hold nearly 100,000 songs, wow isn't technology great!

“I highly recommend Sean! He did a great job of working with our pastor, guests, other vendors and wedding coordinator. In addition to providing the music, he was in charge of keeping the night moving forward and our wedding on schedule. I truly appreciated his thoroughness and his professionalism. He was a big part of making our day the success that it was. One of my favorite compliments that we received from our guests was, "I've been to a lot of weddings in my day and yours had the best music selection, hands down."”

Nostalgia Rush

  • DJ
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Melbourne, IA

After I finished my PhD in genetics and molecular biology at Yale, I left behind a career as a research scientist to pursue a lifelong dream as a professional sax player. While the pandemic was a roadblock to many musicians, I managed to gain momentum as a street performer when I began hosting outdoor concerts for the local entertainment-deprived graduate students. A few of my fellow graduates asked me to perform at their weddings, and even DJ, so I spent the next two years honing my skills and constructing a very 80's synthwave-style brand and equipment to match the vibe.

“Nostalgia rush just DJ'ed our friends' wedding in Eagle River and we must say ... the reception dance floor was electric from start to finish. We didn't want to leave!! Such a highlight of the day.”

“I rented the brown and white dance floor from DSM Dance Party DJs and the dance floor was absolutely beautiful and tied in all of my decor! I initially rented the 12x12 but then needed to make it larger at the very last minute because it looked so small with how our tables were set up, the DSM Dance Party team came back on the day of my wedding to increase it to 15 x 15 which made SUCH a big difference!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Where do I even BEGIN?! I cannot say enough about Jessie and Chris with Vows and Vibes. Booking them was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding! We booked them nearly TWO YEARS in advance, and I knew from the beginning we'd found something special. Jessie is SO much more than a day-of coordinator. From our first call, she treated us like friends and true partners in planning. She welcomed countless conversations, met with us over Zoom, and she and Chris made several trips to our venue to meet in person. Not once did we feel like an inconvenience. They genuinely wanted our day to be everything we dreamed of. Jessie learned my vision so well that by the wedding, she could execute it without me needing to oversee a thing. And I'm a sliiiiight control freak, so that's HUGE! From the moment she arrived in my bridal suite, she was ON IT—helping our friends and venue team set up, organizing all the moving pieces, and handling behind-the-scenes hiccups I didn't even know about until later. I got to simply enjoy being a bride. What a gift. And our CEREMONY. Jessie was our officiant, and I can't imagine anyone else telling our story. Their thoughtful questionnaires let me share every detail of how we met and fell in love. Jessie turned it into a ceremony that was funny, faith-filled, romantic, deeply personal, and wonderfully tear-jerking. Multiple guests told us they'd never happy-cried or ugly-cried so much at a wedding. Those were EXACTLY the feelings I hoped our loved ones would experience! And CHRIS. Oh my goodness, CHRIS!!! He is one of the most talented musicians I've EVER heard. Months before our wedding, he began creating a special acoustic cover of the song my husband chose for me to walk down the aisle to. I still can't describe what that meant to us. His live acoustic music made our ceremony so intimate and romantic, then set the perfect vibe for our welcome reception and dinner. And he brought the energy to the dance floor, too! SO many friends and family asked where we'd found him—I ran out of fingers and toes to count! Jessie was also an incredible MC, keeping the evening flowing beautifully. And there's something extra special about this husband-and-wife team: you can feel how much heart they put into celebrating other people's love stories. What stays with me most is that Jessie and Chris didn't just provide services. They genuinely CARED - about us, our families, our vision, and every moment of our day. We felt that from our first conversation to the final song. If you're considering Vows and Vibes, PLEASE stop looking. Book them. Trust them. They are exceptional at what they do, but even more exceptional people. They gave us the freedom to be completely present for the best day of our lives. I wish I had more photos to share. But - from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, Jessie and Chris. We'd choose you a thousand times over!! — Erin & Brandon”

With more than 25 years of actual DJ experience, you won’t find a more accomplished, skilled and entertaining person to help you with your wedding. Music has been in my life from an early age. At 8 years old, I would pretend to DJ on the radio using my parents’ Beach Boys records and a wooden spoon for a mic. At 17, I started DJing on the radio and I was hooked! In college I majored in communication and performing arts, where I honed my improvisation and listening skills to better connect with people and smoothly adjust to every situation.

“Megan and Logan were great to work with in the early stages, and then Ali & Drake took over about a month before! They all were fantastic to work with and I could definitely tell that Ali & Drake were the best match for my wedding. I wasn't sure what to think about booking a company that matches a DJ to your wedding after booking, but they really did take the time to find what music style I liked and which DJ was going to vibe the best. Highly recommend!!!! The entire planning process was so easy with them and the online portal was so simple to use! They truly made my day exceptional!”
