We had not one, but TWO other DJs cancel on us. We were getting deflated, frustrated, and losing money on DJs that would take our deposits and run. We even tried a "popular" service to find, it was a horrible match. The other, took outlr deposit and never spoke to us again. So for the 3rd try, (sadly shoulda went with them first) we called back these guys. We did check them out at first, but we're convinced cheaper was better. Nope. We learnt a lesson, a hard lesson. DJ Sound and Luke took us in battered, beaten, feeling defeated, and turned it all around. The planning with then made us feel at ease, and comfortable, and safe. They got our ides onto the forms, and the DJ was outstanding. It's like he knew our families and had the perfect songs picked and played. I'm not sure how they do it....but every time I reied to get off the dance floor, I had to turn around and gat back on because another awesome song was starting to play. Because I was on the dance floor all night with my friends, I missed some family connections, but I don't care, I'll see them at the holidays......it was MY night! DJ Sound taught me a few things. Patients, that great isn't cheap, and cheap isn't great, and that actually, they they were able to show my and my fiance love when we were beat down, hopeless, and discouraged. No jusgement from them, not even any talk about the other guys, they just hit the ground running. This company and all their employees are a blessing and we couldn't be more thank full. Highly recommend, but most of all, thank you for everything, it was an epic day.....just like you guaranteed!

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).

DJ Services By Paul Young was an excellent choice for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Paul was prompt, informative and friendly, putting us at ease about the music and entertainment for our big day. On the wedding day, Paul's flexibility and great timing kept the party going all night. Even though we didn't have a big wedding, DJ Paul still managed to give us an amazing celebration that our guests are still talking about. We highly recommend DJ Services By Paul Young for any couple looking for a talented DJ who will work with you to make your wedding reception unforgettable. (Clouds in photo added for privacy)

Communication was smooth and easy through email, and he checked in periodically which was so nice when there are so many moving parts to the day. Will moved around our garden venue with such grace that you'd think he'd played there a hundred times before. The fact that he could move around with such ease was so nice! It really created such a beautiful feel for our garden wedding. He was warm and genuine, making us feel at ease the entire time. We had so many compliments from our guests. He was definitely a crowd favorite. Our venue was so impressed with Will's work that they asked him to join their preferred vendor list. If you want live music that's both skilled and heartfelt, we highly recommend Winspiration Studio LLC.

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!!

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 had an amazing experience working with Only Toons DJ Service, Musician for our wedding! 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'd highly recommend Only Toons if you're looking for a DJ who will help create an unforgettable celebration!

Hi, my name is Mitch! I grew up surrounded by music. I started playing saxophone in 5th grade and pretty much from then on music has encompassed my life. After graduating from college with a music degree and working in customer service for over 3 years, the thought of combining my passion for music and love of serving people always sounded too good to be true! My number one goal is to help you craft an unforgettable wedding, one note at a time! How do I do that? by getting to know you and catering to your likes and dislikes! Also with my secret weapon!

We cannot express enough praise and gratitude for Mitch! We had the privilege of working with him for our wedding on 7/6/24. From preplanning meetings to the wedding day, Mitch was extremely on top of everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. 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! Part of our package included having Mitch play Sax at the reception… JUST DO IT! It was so fun having him jump on the dance floor and interact with our guests! Mitch made our wedding a day to remember for all, and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you DJ Mitch!
