We had The Riverside Hitmen at our August, 22nd 2019 wedding. They were unbelievable. This was my big splurge, and it was money well spent. Considering we had a piano and cello at the ceremony, a jazz trio during cocktail hour, and a full band with horn section play for four hours at the reception, I feel the price was very reasonable. Kyle was super accommodating. My bride is from Nigeria, and the morning of the big day, she sent Kyle a bunch of African music for the DJ to play during the band's breaks. Even with that late notice, without hesitation, Kyle found all the songs online and had them ready. Having the African music was a nice touch that was very much appreciated by my bride's family. All night long our guests asked, "Where did you find this band? They are amazing!" I booked the band without ever seeing them in person, and I am extremely happy I did. The Riverside Hitmen are incredible. If you are considering booking a band, you cannot go wrong with The Riverside Hitmen. Kyle and the rest of The Riverside Hitmen, thanks for everything. Its almost two months since our wedding, and I still light up when I think how fun our wedding was in large part because of the fantastic live music you provided. Thanks again, Precious and Andy

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.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

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!

At Adagio Djay Entertainment our philosophy is to assist you in creating an atmosphere that will make all of your guests feel welcome and involved without making the DJ the focus of the reception. Although the music is an important part of setting that tone, we believe the focus should remain on the guests and the beautiful memories that are being created as they celebrate with you.

We were a little nervous about selecting a DJ for our wedding in part because we don’t live in the city where we were married. DJs can be so hit or miss in my experience at past events. Adagio was terrific. Shout out to Isaiah who is so calm and laid back, a real pleasure to work with. He was considerate and took our sample playlist and made it better. He really understood the tone and pacing of the wedding and the enhanced everything. The dance floor was active all night! Thank you.

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.

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!
