“The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!”

“Nationwide Wedding DJs made finding a DJ for our wedding so much easier than we expected. Michael was quick to respond and got us connected with DJ Danny Crush, who turned out to be perfect for our event. Once we were linked with Danny, we didn't need a middleman anymore and could communicate directly, which streamlined everything. The setup was smooth and Danny kept the energy high all night long. Using an agency like Nationwide to find a local DJ in our area saved us hours of searching on our own. The booking process could use some polish in their planner formatting, but overall we're grateful for how efficiently they got us to the right person for our special day.”

“We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!

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. As I “read the room” I take requests, and time the playing of each track based on YOUR taste in music- I guarantee to follow your “must play” list, “do not play” list. Unlimited, personal planning time is included with me, personally, who will be your actual DJ (not a subcontractor).

“We’ve received so many compliments on how electric our dance floor was!! The music kept everyone movin and groovin for hours, and the lights were so fun! Not only did we have the best time dancing the night away, John did a great job throughout the whole wedding. The sound of all of the microphones through the ceremony, speeches, and announcements was of the highest quality. John also came to the venue early for set-up and made sure to do all sound checks before any guests arrived. And the ceremony music was perfectly timed with subtle fade-outs when it was time to change the song for me to walk down the aisle. I could not have asked for a more perfect DJ for our wedding day, and I would highly recommend Three Star Entertainment to any couple looking for a DJ for their wedding!”

“Mel was an incredible part of our wedding day and reception. From the ceremony through the evening, everything flowed smoothly and felt well-paced, which allowed us and our guests to fully relax and enjoy the night. Transitions were seamless, announcements were clear and professional, and the music fit each moment perfectly. When it was time for the dance floor to open, the energy was exactly what we hoped for - fun, engaging, and natural. Our guests stayed on the dance floor and are still talking about how much fun they had. What we appreciated most about Mel was how well she read the room. She adjusted effortlessly as the night unfolded and kept everything moving without ever feeling overbearing or scripted. The focus stayed exactly where it should be - on the celebration. We’re so grateful for the role Mel played in creating such a memorable reception and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a DJ who brings great energy while keeping the night running smoothly and stress-free.”

“If you want a packed dance floor from beginning to end, a club like experience and the BEST DJ's in town - then choose GenNOW for all your Wedding Day needs. From the first interaction, we knew we were in good hands. Tim responds quickly and really takes care of his couples. When our original GenNOW DJ had a family emergency and could no longer DJ our wedding, Tim immediately found us a new GenNOW DJ - and this is when we were introduced to DJ Matt. I don't have enough words to tell you how incredible Matt is! He is the most energetic, most caring, most bubbly, down-to-earth DJ there ever was. He immediately took my husband and I under his wing and would do anything to make us happy. By the end of the night, he was more like family to us than a vendor. Nonetheless, our dance floor was more like a club then a wedding and every single guest, young or old, was dancing all night long. To this day, people still say how much fun they had! Book GenNOW, ask for Matt, and you won't regret it!!”

He embraced the costume theme of our reception, performed significantly more music than we had expected (in a good way), and was the absolute heart and soul of our party. He improvised and adapted to every unique situation on the night with a musical and social sense of awareness that we continue to be grateful for. He even graciously agreed to play alongside Andrea's 94 year old grandmother on her accordion. Grandma is still beaming from this experience, and trust me, she's a hard woman to please. Seriously. I don't think we can ever repay him for the joy and energy he brought to our night.

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! :)”

Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they were responsive, friendly, and really made sure they understood our vision. On the big day, they brought so much energy and fun to the reception. The music selection was on point for keeping guests of all ages entertained on the dance floor. They also provided awesome games and souvenirs that had everyone laughing and making memories. For the quality of work and value, I'd describe them as great. They were reasonably priced compared to other DJs in our area and they exceeded expectations with both their professionalism and ability to pump up the party.

“I got married on June 15, and Mason was our DJ. He was absolutely amazing and made our wedding so much fun! I highly, highly recommend him. From our first meeting to the big day, he made everything so easy. We had multiple meetings to go over every detail, even things I hadn’t thought about (and I’m definitely Type A). So many friends and family members came up to me during and after the wedding to say how great he was and to ask for his information for future events. I honestly don’t have a single negative thing to say about him. Mason even got on the dance floor to teach some dances and was constantly helping with other wedding-related tasks besides the music, like making a schedule, helping with our slide show, watching over our raffle stuff and keeping it safe, helping tear up tickets, and so much more. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else there for that day! He was fantastic on the mic, keeping the energy high and ensuring everyone had a great time.

He also communicated with our other vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page! When we had our live acoustic guitarist back out somewhat suddenly, we reached out to Mitch for references. To our surprise, he offered us an even better idea to have him play sax and a friend play guitar at the ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved it and it brought a really special feel to the ceremony. On top of that, the energy he brings to MCing got our guests super excited and involved!

They heard all of our requests and took them all into account. They were not only amazing to us but all of our family and friends. Would HIGHLY recommend. Also working with Utah Live Bands was one of our easiest vendors to work with - Stephen Tobian was always so responsive it was great for planning from afar! Book these guys early though they fill up fast!”

Rachel Bee - The Wedding Violinist 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Solo performer
  • Serves Rockville, MN for additional fees

I've been performing on the violin for weddings, proposals, funerals, and various church services for over 20 years! I started playing violin when I was 11 years old, and have never stopped! I am classically trained but I can play all styles of music -- from fiddle music to rock/pop!

“Rachel was absolutely wonderful to work with! She reached out a couple of months before the wedding to help determine the music choices we would go with, and helped us with selecting when we were unsure, then even learned a new song for us! The music was absolutely beautiful and we loved it so much.”
