I’ve done over 3000 weddings, and this experience pays off in many ways, from musical knowledge to skills required to mix the music in exciting ways.

With a million decisions to make for your event, it might be tempting to dial up the first search result for the event DJ in Minneapolis and hire them on the spot. The downside? Not every DJ is appropriate for every kind of event. If you’re hoping to plan a one-of-a-kind party with music catered to your theme and formality level, you’re going to want to find a special event DJ in Minneapolis with experience. Your event is special, and we think the person you select to DJ the party should be special, too!

We used Complete Weddings Events for photography and they were amazing! Ari walked me through the process every step of the way and answered my hundreds of questions every time. Deea edited our photos beautifully! We had Bryce do our engagement session and James did our wedding photos. They were both so chill and down to earth! They made us so comfortable and were so much fun, but still professional as well. They were both so great to work with and we still talk to both of them too! Complete was all-around wonderful to work with and we cannot recommend or thank them enough! :)

Simple things that set us apart from the rest... I make any necessary announcements throughout the night but avoid the annoying DJ chatter that takes away from an amazing event. I play the music you want to hear. I let my clients have as much control over the music as they want. DJing since 2012 with ZERO cancellations. 300+ events of experience (weddings, dances, schools, etc.). Lights for the dance floor, with colorful patterns and shapes but without being overwhelming or annoying. Lyric editing capabilities, to keep the night fun.

We hired Only Toons DJ Service to provide the music and lighting for our wedding reception. Dan was very responsive and professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day, which we really appreciated while planning a hectic wedding! The DJ himself was organized, prepared, and talented. He set up beautiful uplighting around our venue that really enhanced the atmosphere. Even though we didn't have a big dancing crowd, he was still able to keep the energy and vibes upbeat with his music selections while folks mingled and conversed. Overall, we were very happy with Only Toons - he delivered a high quality service and contributed positively to our special day. Their lighting and DJ skills definitely took our reception to the next level while staying within our budget. We'd happily recommend them to other couples planning a wedding!
