Loved Milk Majer, it was truly an integral part of our day. Even leading up to it, he was professional, easy to work with and super great! That night he played all the hits, he made sure to take requests to keep our guests happy but still made sure they were in line with what we needed and wanted! His extra stuff like the ice sprinklers, and lights were such an added bonus! He was even better than we could have hoped for!

DJ DAS is one of our very favorite DJS. As a Venue Owner it is very important that the DJ our Booked Couples hire make their guests enjoy the evening. After 50 wedding+ we know that all DJS are not created equal. When we view our Booked Couples Wedding Planner they submit to us a few weeks before the wedding there are 2 places we quickly glance at to determine it is going to be a good event. The first is the caterer and the second is the DJ. If their DJ spot says "DJ DAS" then we know its going to be a good wedding reception. Because when DJ DAS is in the house everyone is happy!

I had the pleasure of working with Chris and Jessie of Vows & Vibes on a project where they set up an event to do what they do best: throw a great party. Not only is Chris an incredibly talented performer, but a very thoughtful person—even though I was just the photographer, he was sure to ask my what my favorite song was so he could play it during the festivities! And Jessie is such a bright, bubbly person, it was such a joy to watch her whisk around the dance floor getting to know people and hyping everyone up. They were both so easy to talk to and I enjoyed spending time with them throughout the evening. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a different, fun reception experience!

DJ Obie

Moline, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Awarded Best of Zola
When it came to planning my wedding, there were a million things on my mind, but finding the right entertainment turned out to be a breeze, all thanks to DJ Obie Entertainment. From the moment we connected, it was clear that we were in good hands, but little did I know just how exceptional our experience would be. DJ Obie was more than just a DJ; he was a true professional who approached our special day with unmatched dedication and expertise. His level of organization and communication was unparalleled, easing my worries and allowing me to fully enjoy the lead-up to our wedding. From the get-go, he embraced our event as if it were his own, and that level of commitment was evident in every aspect of his service. One thing that truly stood out was DJ Obie's meticulous preparation. He had a comprehensive spreadsheet with all the necessary information, including details I hadn't even thought of. This level of attention to detail not only impressed me but also made the entire process smoother and more enjoyable. On the big day, DJ Obie proved himself to be the life of the party. He seamlessly coordinated with our wedding coordinator, ensuring that every moment flowed effortlessly. From the ceremony to the reception, his music selection was spot-on, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed. Speaking of the dance floor, DJ Obie had an uncanny ability to hype up our guests like no other. People who I never expected to see dancing were out there, having the time of their lives. The atmosphere was electric, and the compliments about the party's liveliness are still pouring in. In short, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without DJ Obie Entertainment. His professionalism, talent, and passion for what he does shone through every step of the way, resulting in an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. If you want your event to be nothing short of amazing, I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Obie. You won't regret it.

Really great to work with, relaxed and fun but professional at the same time. He provided a microphone for the officiant and there were no problems. He did a great job making announcements during the reception, keeping things moving, and the music was fantastic. He kept the songs rolling, didn’t play the whole song, kept people on the dance floor dancing. He took requests from our guests and fit them in smoothly, and everyone was really happy.

A Special Event DJ & Photo Booth 

4.5

Indianola, IA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

Born from a long time love of music, an entrepreneurial spirt, and an eye for design and organization ASE DJ was started 18 years ago. Tim, a musician and savvy entrepreneur immediately saw a need in the DJ industry for a professional approach to great weddings and with Missi’s eye for design, organization, and marketing they have grown to be the midwest’s most requested Wedding Entertainment Company with 3 locations and an amazing team of people. A true "American Dream” story; their once “side hustle” has blossomed into a full time growing business that also employs their children and is still sparking their creativity to this day.

ASEDJ was a blessing when our original band plan fell through. Shockingly they had availability just months before our wedding but that's due to them having several DJs on staff, not just one. The booking process was thorough - they schedule a call before booking where they provided plenty of info. After booking they provided a website to plan our timeline, must plays, and do not plays. Month of you're given a schedule and are eventually assigned a DJ. They offer a photobooth, dance floor, a DJ with a drummer, as well as wedding planning. Idk if they would have been our first choice when we began planning but they were extremely thorough and helpful when we needed them the most! Only complaint was they didn't come close to playing all of our "must" plays but otherwise a great vendor and well experienced in tons of Des Moines Metro venues which is a huge plus.

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

Grinnell, IA
  • DJ
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

With more than 25 years of actual DJ experience, you won’t find a more accomplished, skilled and entertaining person to help you with your wedding. Music has been in my life from an early age. At 8 years old, I would pretend to DJ on the radio using my parents’ Beach Boys records and a wooden spoon for a mic. At 17, I started DJing on the radio and I was hooked! In college I majored in communication and performing arts, where I honed my improvisation and listening skills to better connect with people and smoothly adjust to every situation.

John was amazing. From our first meeting to our private final dance, John made our wedding day so special. He read the crowd during the dance and kept it packed all night. We had so many people and even other vendors, tell us that he was one of the best DJs they have seen! We danced the night away with all of our friends on the dance floor just like we wanted. You will not regret hiring John to be a part of your big day. I truly believe that the DJ sets the tone for the whole wedding and John does an amazing job.

I had the pleasure of attending my son's wedding this past weekend, and I am beyond thrilled to share my genuine appreciation for the outstanding services provided by Nicky Avalo Studios. As a fellow wedding photographer, I held high expectations, and I can honestly say that Nicky exceeded every single one of them. The DJ was nothing short of phenomenal. He worked hard and kept the energy soaring and the dance floor packed throughout the entire evening. It was an absolute blast! The Photo Booth, which was an absolute hit among the guests. The attendant brought was a lot fun and there was a line of people all night. But what truly stood out was Nicky Avalo himself. From our very first consultation to the day of the event, Nicky proved to be incredibly responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure that every single one of our needs was met.

Erica reached out to me and I'm so glad she did! My least favorite part of most weddings is the cocktail hour and I didn't want that to be true of our wedding! Erica made sure it wasn't! She played a song during our ceremony, for the cocktail hour, and finally our first dance. We had so many friends and family ask who she was and said they really enjoyed having the live music to enjoy during cocktail hour. The live song for our first dance made it feel that much more special and tailored just for our big moment! She also was more than willing to fly all the way to MO from FL!

Zach is extremely refreshing to collaborate with after my fair share of experiences with 'bro' like DJs in the wedding industry. He is extremely professional, thoughtful and knows how to go above and beyond for his clients.
