“"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. Luke was our manager. Ashley was our booth person."”

“Ryan did a great job throughout the whole day and leading up to the wedding! He was very flexible with our many requests. And even adjusted his regular set up to help us achieve our vision! For everything he did for us, we thought it was extremely good value. He did our ceremony audio, cocktail and dinner background music, MC/hosting, the dance music, and a manned photobooth. He did all of our ceremony audio with really nice lapell microphones so they could barely be seen. I also had several requests for starting and stopping various songs at different times and he did a great job for having no practice with us beforehand. Later in the night we got behind on the timeline but no one knew, and Ryan did a great job at keeping the momentum going and making everything go smoothly. We also didn't have a huge wedding (about 120 people), but I felt like the dancefloor was still packed! Especially the last couple of hours. He even helped us execute a fake ending/encore at the end. I was on the dancefloor all night after like 10pm, he played all the songs I wanted and I just wanted to keep dancing! Several friends commented that it was one of the funnest weddings they had been at! At the end of the night he also gave us a book from all the pictures that were taken in the photograph booth (which was also an incredibly good value), and a USB with audio from our wedding. We are so glad to have these things and so thankful he did that! We would defintely recommend Ryan for your wedding. He has so much experience and is very professional. We had a great experience. He also has a lot of add ons and different packages so you can customize exactly what you want! Thank you Ryan!”

Our DJ Rick was great at reading the room and adjusting the music from our curated track list to fit the vibe we were going for (we really wanted people to work the dance floor!).

“We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly.

“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! Highly recommend “Like a Prayer” by Madonna to get all generations singing along!! Photo Credit to our epic photographer, Victoria of An Endless Pursuit”

Julio’s love for music started at a young age; back when he carried his favorite CDs everywhere he went. His journey into DJing began with his father-in-law and quickly grew into a passion for bringing together the things he loves most: music, people, and entertaining. As a DJ, Julio loves creating unforgettable experiences, keeping the energy high, and making sure every couple has a celebration they’ll remember for years to come. When he’s not behind the turntables, you’ll find Julio spending quality time with his wife and two children or cheering on the Minnesota Vikings. SKOL!

“Elite Sound was the highlight of our reception. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and genuinely excited to help us plan the perfect playlist for our big day. They nailed every song we requested and had a real gift for reading the room and keeping the energy high all night long. Our guests couldn't stay off the dance floor, and we heard so many people say it was the best DJ experience they'd had at a wedding. The band's professionalism combined with their playful approach made everything feel effortless on our end. We can't recommend them enough to couples looking for a DJ that actually listens and delivers.”

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!”

“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!!”

Nick Hyde combines the classical elegance of the violin with the sound of a modern DJ. Couples don't have to choose between a DJ and live music, because with Nick Hyde they get both! Nick Hyde is a play-by-ear musician, meaning he can play any song you'd commonly hear at a wedding or on the dance floor, and can easily learn any requests. There's no hassle with sheet music, music stands, or anything else. Want to walk down the aisle, or have your first dance listening to a violinist playing along to your chosen song? That’s what Nick Hyde, DJ & Violinist does best.

“We booked the "All-Day Music Package" because we loved the idea of a violinist for "Bridgerton" vibes during the ceremony, and we loved that Nick was able to be both a DJ & violinist. One thing I also loved were his lights - We could tell they were synced to the music, and at one point, during "Party in the USA", the lights were an American flag pattern, which was so cool! Very detail oriented, very organized, and very responsive to all the questions I had (I had a lot... sorry Nick ;)) unlike some of my other vendors. Highly recommend him”
