The Downtown Collective 
Rating: 5.0 (60 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves Raymond, 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Alternative Wedding DJs

  • DJ

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved using Alternative Wedding DJs for our wedding reception! We worked with Brent, and he did a fantastic job taking our inspiration playlists and expanding on them to play music we loved for cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance floor. He also brought in a disco ball and lights that made the dance floor so fun. The dance floor was never empty, and my friends and I were screaming to songs for hours! Brent could read the room and kept the perfect flow with how the crowd was feeling. Brent was also very communicative and was self-sufficient the night of so that we could relax and be fully present. We would definitely recommend using Alternative Wedding DJs!

They are hands down the best, most fun and entertaining band you could hire! They will get the dance floor moving and it will be a blast all night long! Look no further.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Erica! She played during our dinner reception and was truly one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding day. My husband and I loved her, our guests absolutely loved her, and she provided the perfect entertainment during the dinner hour—elevated, engaging, and so beautifully curated. She completely brought our vision to life. The music was thoughtfully selected, fit the atmosphere perfectly, and added such a special energy to the room without ever overpowering the moment.

I don’t know where to start with Dillon and Electric Sugar…. They were incredible. Plain and simple. 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! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion they are looking to add spice and energy too. If we ever host another event where music is needed I would book them in a heartbeat

Bespoke Entertainment is a wedding DJ and MC company based in Norfolk, Nebraska, covering weddings across Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota. Andrew "Roo" Borer has been performing for over two decades and built Bespoke on one idea: your music should sound like it belongs to you, not like a playlist someone else picked. We handle DJ and MC duties, ceremony and cocktail sound, uplighting, dance floor lighting, monogram projection, and our own photo booth. One vendor, one load-in, one person your coordinator has to find instead of three. We work this region constantly and know most of the rooms in it.

Bespoke Entertainment was a fantastic choice for our wedding band and DJ. Their communication was great - they were professional and responsive, answering all of our questions quickly. On the day, they played all night long, keeping the dance floor packed with a great song selection.
