Kyara’s Keys offers elegant piano music for any part of your wedding. With repertoire spanning multiple genres including pop, classical, jazz, and others, she takes pride in performing music that is tailored to you and your relationship.

Kyara was so easy to communicate with and made the process so easy. She even learned a couple songs for our ceremony that meant the world to us - I tear up thinking about hearing her play our song walking down the aisle. She even helped bring in an additional musician so I didn't have to do the extra research - loved having something taken off my plate! She made the ceremony feel so classy and dreamy and so thankful she was part of our day!

"We looked at so many DJs. Finally BOTH our venue (Enterage Groups wedding venue) AND coordinator (i heart weddings) recommended them. They were right! I trust the experts who see hundreds of DJs, and they flat out said, this was the company. Picked songs we danced to all night. What can I say......all the experts got it right! We also had photo booth! That was the perfect choice! Here are the juicy details no one puts in. Mateo & Colleen, Sept 20th, 2025. 7.5 hours 1895. 3 hours photo booth 695. DJ was Jamie.

We booked through Steve upfront and he was so terrific to work with on initial arrangements. Our DJ, Drew, was absolutely fantastic! He handled both our ceremony and reception music, and everything was seamless from start to finish. The ceremony music was perfect, the timing was exactly right, and he helped create the exact feeling we wanted for the day. He used my Spotify playlists as inspiration for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hour music, so those moments felt completely like us and set the perfect vibe from the beginning. For the reception, he did an amazing job reading the room, keeping the energy going, and making sure everything flowed without us ever having to worry about what was happening next. One of the things we appreciated most was how much he cared about making the day personal. He worked behind the scenes with our officiant and friends on a few surprises, and those little moments ended up meaning so much to us. We wanted our wedding to feel relaxed, personal, and like a true celebration with our favorite people, and Drew played such a big part in creating that atmosphere. We are so glad he was part of our day and would absolutely recommend him!

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).

“WHEN I’M BEHIND THE BOARD, MUSIC IS MY VOICE, MY WAY TO CONNECT WITH THE CROWD. WHEN EVERYTHING CLICKS, NOTHING BEATS THE SYNERGY THAT’S ACHIEVED.” That’s Steve’s favorite thing about being a DJ; the shared experience that comes with performing at events. Steve describes himself as “hands-on.” “I thoroughly enjoy playing the director’s role when doing these events. From the first announcement over the microphone until my ‘See ya!’ to send everyone home, there’s a lot of pleasure that goes with commanding the room. While these events are serious business, there’s nothing saying that you can’t have fun with it.”

We had Behind the Board DJ Entertainment for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with Steve's work. From start to finish, he was responsive and genuinely excited about our day, thinking through details we hadn't even considered yet. Steve kept the dance floor full from beginning to end. My friends and family ages 4-92 all had an amazing time. When we realized we'd forgotten to get a back track put together just days before the wedding, he got back to us that same day to make sure it was ready. His energy and skill made our reception feel alive, and every guest left talking about how fun the night was. We'd book Steve again in a heartbeat.

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!

From the moment we reached out to Complete Weddings Events in Minneapolis, their team was incredibly helpful and responsive. We ended up booking their photography, videography, DJ, and photo booth services, and we are so glad we did. The quality of their work was exceptional - the photos and video perfectly captured all the special moments of our wedding day. We didn't even know what a videographer was at first, but now we watch our wedding video every anniversary, and it brings us right back to the joy of our special day. The DJ had everyone up and dancing all night long, keeping the energy high and making our reception an absolute blast. We couldn't have asked for a better group of vendors to work with, and we highly recommend Complete Weddings Events to any couples planning their wedding.

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!

At A Ran Music Service, we solve our clients’ biggest worry: “But, will my guests dance?” We dance guests out! Even those reluctant “non-dancers” will be compelled to join the dance floor for the entire evening, never looking for their seat again, and “living it up” on that dance floor the entire night. We’re music lovers and musicians- we know a thing or two about composing a captivating and irresistible playlist that incorporates personal song selections into your unique event.

A Ran Music Service was a solid choice for our wedding entertainment. Their communication style was prompt, warm and friendly, though we did have some issues with emails not coming through consistently from their Honeybook account, so we had to regularly check their online client portal to stay updated. The quality of their work and value was good overall - they had a huge library of songs to choose from and the song edits they provided were great. However, the music they played was largely at one tempo, which caused some of our guests to get a bit tired on the dance floor after a while. On the plus side, their great sound setup made for easy transitions from our outdoor ceremony to the indoor reception. Overall, A Ran Music Service helped make our special day a success and we’d book them again!

At Sweet Harmony, we love what we do! To us, it is a beautiful thing when we are playing music that helps you to feel the special moments of your life. We've grown fast since our founding in 2008, and Sweet Harmony now serves weddings across the United States with fine local musicians. As owner and pianist, I hold certain core values that inspire my work with our customers and our relationships in the professional world: honesty, teamwork, friendliness, strength, service, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence. Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Groovytown Entertainment is a premier wedding DJ and entertainment service, offering a unique blend of music, lighting, and photo booth fun to make your special day unforgettable. We fully understand that every wedding is different, and that’s why for over six years, we’ve been providing personalized service and attention to detail, to our couples in the Twin Cities and nearby areas of Wisconsin, to suit their style and vision. From ceremony to reception, we’ll keep the dance floor packed and your guests entertained. Groovytown Entertainment will bring the groove & vibe to your wedding celebration, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

We hired Groovytown Entertainment for our wedding in August 2023, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made! After searching for a DJ for about two weeks, we stumbled upon Groovytown Entertainment through Instagram, and everything fell into place. Our main focus was on the ceremony, as we wanted my cousins to play piano and guitar while guests arrived. We needed a DJ who could seamlessly accommodate this setup. At the same time, we also wanted someone who could keep the dance floor packed all night—both my family and my wife’s family love to dance! When we reached out, we connected with Biko, who immediately impressed us during a video chat. Just minutes into the call, we knew we were in good hands. Biko’s expertise with weddings was evident; he had so much energy and gave us insights about the timeline and flow of the day that we hadn’t even considered. It was clear he cared deeply about making our day perfect, and we booked him the very next day. Leading up to the wedding, we had two more meetings with Biko to finalize every detail. He was thorough, organized, and made sure everything was streamlined for our big day. On the wedding day, Biko arrived on time and had everything set up for our cousins to perform during the ceremony. The ceremony went flawlessly, and when it was time for the reception, we already knew we were in for a great time. Biko did not disappoint! We danced non-stop from the moment the music started until the venue literally couldn’t accommodate us anymore. Biko knew exactly how to get everyone on the dance floor—even the guests who normally prefer to sit and watch. Up to this day, we’re still getting compliments from family and friends about how amazing the day was, and much of that is thanks to Biko. If you’re looking for the BEST DJ for your wedding, we highly recommend Groovytown Entertainment and DJ Biko. We’d choose him over and over again without hesitation!
