What began in 1998 has grown into DJ Sound Productions; a team built through decades of weddings, music, technology, change, hard work and a genuine love for what we do. More than 10,000 weddings and events later, we’ve earned awards, expanded our team, and overcome plenty of challenges, but one thing has never changed: our commitment to getting better. We’re not perfect, but we’re experienced, prepared and passionate. Everything we’ve built as a company exists for one reason: to give every couple a wedding that feels uniquely, unmistakably and completely theirs.

“So, our day was falling apart horribly. Sept 7th, 2024. Way before the day started, some bridal party got sick, our coordinator got fired two days before our wedding, our venue didn't have much of what we ordered for decorations. Our last hope was the DJ service, but honestly, we didn't have high hopes. But then, the DJ arrived. He looked serious and got down to business. We told him how it's gonna be a mess and we understand if things didn't go right....it was just the way things were. We had each other right? NO. Our DJ refused to accept our self pitty. He was the calm, understanding, and reassuring part in this disaster of a storm. He said.....and I quote, "good thing I'm trained in coordination and I'm fully prepped. No worries, we got this". I, as the bride.....cried. we didn't have anyone that gave us this reassurance or confidence....till we met the DJ. He took charge, organized the most perfect ceremony, and then just did what it took to get everyone else organized from guests, to venue, to catering company. All we had to do, was have our wedding. We spoke with the guy the week of our wedding. He kept talking about "vision". Heck, I didn't even see what they saw. But the DJ, must have known somehow, because he got that vision and did everything we needed, and wanted. Dinner was beautiful, and things got done! I didn't think a DJ did all that. Then the dance. He announced everything, so all were informed and orchestrated everything and we let it all go and really had a lot of fun and enjoyed everything he played. I'm sure our DJ wanted to have more fun than all the work we out on him, and for that, I'm sorry......but you did one heck of a job!!!!! You turned what was a disaster, righted all the other vendors ships, and sailed yours too! You did the work of multiple companies with just 1 DJ. Unheard of! Most DJs I've seen at weddings just stay behind their music stuff and speakers and don't move. Our DJ broke a sweat. You know what, I hope other have a better wedding experience than we did, but I can tell you, this is a comoany that knows weddings, understands the needs of others, and is very well versed in what they do. And for all that, I'm grateful beyond belief and worth every penny and more. This is the ONLY 5 star review I've given for my wedding and they deserve 15. What a blessing!”

We are the host, and the person guests see responsible for creating a memorable experience that begins the moment they arrive, to your last dance.

“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!”

“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!”

“Bluewater Kings Band made our reception unforgettable. From day one, their communication was clear and detailed—they kept us in the loop every step of the way and were flexible with our requests. The band worked with us to structure our timeline so they'd have maximum playing time, and they nailed the song selection to keep everyone dancing all night long. What really set them apart was their willingness to let our friends jump in and play instruments with them, plus they picked up on songs we'd mentioned in toasts and wove them into their set. The quality of their performance was exceptional, and they genuinely cared about making our day special. We couldn't recommend them more highly.”

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!”

“5/5 Stars – AT Entertainment made our wedding unforgettable! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than working with AT Entertainment for our wedding! From start to finish, the planning process was seamless, but the real star of the night was DJ Paul. Paul was absolute magic on the dance floor. He read the room perfectly, kept the energy high all night long, and played a seamless mix of music that had every generation—from our youngest cousins to our grandparents—out on the floor dancing. The transitions were flawless, the sound and lighting quality were top-tier, and he handled the evening's announcements and timeline with total ease and professionalism. So many of our guests came up to us during and after the reception to say it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding, and DJ Paul was a massive reason why.

“DJ Low with GenerationNOW was PERFECT!!!!! He was so accommodating and sweet to us throughout the entire process. He never made us feel rushed, or pressured to do things a certain way. He supported our music taste and had great song recommendations in every genre. During dinner, we threw a last minute curveball at him to DJ a game we played with all the tables, and he executed it perfectly on the fly. His emceeing was perfect and got the crowd hyped! Just the perfect amount of talking on the mic and only when necessary and when additive. I still have "GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR BRIDES!" stuck in my head in DJ Low's voice, and I love it because he provided the best party we could've ever asked for. GenNow was worth the extra money because they deliver on their promise of a dang good party. My people were JAMMING!!!!!!”

“Tony was great! Many of our guests commented that we had one of the best wedding DJs they’d seen. He made sure things were running smoothly and kept the hits playing all night long. He was flexible and rolled with the punches, even moving the music outside for a while because that’s where the people were hanging out (it was 90 degrees that day!) He did a great job keeping everyone engaged and having fun on the dance floor. Communication was excellent from the planning stages all the way through to the end of the night.
