The Downtown Collective

5.0

Band or Ensemble
Starts at $7,900
Serves Pleasant Dale, NE

The Downtown Collective Band was established in 2016 as just a couple of guys who wanted to jam out in the attic. We started by getting some small gigs here and there doing hybrid DJ/live music performances. Then we found friends from music school at UNL that played instruments and made the jam bigger and got more gigs. Now we are known as one of the top bands in the Midwest. We love playing live music because you get a much more authentic experience with people actually playing instruments and connecting with the crowd! All of our past clients agree- Downtown Collective is a high energy group that gets everyone dancing!

“The Downtown Collective was absolutely outstanding and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their communication was excellent and professional from start to finish. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the energy was amazing, their vocals were outstanding, and they were a true class act. Our guests raved about them all night long. Behind the scenes, they were communicative and great to work with. This band nailed it, and the energy was insane. If you're thinking of booking them, do it now - you'll be so thankful you did. Thank you, Downtown Collective, for helping us throw an amazing celebration!”

“HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.”

Alternative Wedding DJs

5.0

DJ
Starts at $1,500
Serves Pleasant Dale, NE

Stereotypical wedding DJs spoil the fun. They play the same songs (boring). There are gaps between songs (awkward). And they talk on the mic too much (obnoxious). We’re the alternative. We beat match & blend music (non-stop dancing) We use the mic appropriately (vibe isn’t ruined) We personalize the playlist with your input (you’ll love the music) If you say things like, “We’re having a non-traditional wedding!,” or “We need to blend our multicultural families,” or “I’ll die if my domineering future mother-in-law demands that the DJ to play her QVC album collection,” ... then we're for you!

“I would like to start by saying. "WOW". I recently had the pleasure of hiring DJ Elliott Ness for my son's wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough about the remarkable job they did. From the beginning, DJ Ness demonstrated impressive detail orientation and professionalism that set the tone for an exceptional event. During our planning meetings, it was clear that we were in the hands of an experienced professional. The DJ Ness took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and specific needs for the wedding. His expertise shone through as he provided insightful suggestions and curated a playlist that perfectly matched the ambiance we wanted to create. Every detail, from the song selection to the timing of the announcements, was meticulously planned. On the day of the wedding, DJ Ness's performance exceeded all expectations. His engaging presence and ability to read the crowd kept the energy high throughout the ceremony and reception. Guests were consistently on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves, which is a testament to his talent for keeping the party lively and entertaining. His seamless transitions between songs and genres ensured that there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. The wedding was truly spectacular, and much of its success can be attributed to the DJ's genius and expertise. He not only played great music but also created an unforgettable experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. If you're looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, experienced, and capable of delivering an unforgettable wedding celebration, I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Elliott Ness!!!!”

I worked with Dillon leading up to wedding weekend and he was kind, prompt, professional, and fun. We worked together to create a set list that was perfect for our taste in music. Dillon also played guitar at our ceremony and it was beautiful. He did a combo of guitar and prerecorded music per our request and it was perfect. He brought all the equipment needed for our officiant to have a microphone as well. The Electric Sugar band as a whole played for our reception. We had them for 3 hours and the dance floor was packed for 3 hours. They were so much fun and SO talented!!! It was the best party and they were a huge reason behind it!
