As the owner of DSM Dance Party DJs, I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built and the care that goes into every event we’re part of. What matters most to us is preparation, understanding the couple, the space, and the flow of the day so everything feels natural and well-paced. From the planning process through the final song of the night, our goal is to support the event without ever making it feel forced or overwhelming. We work closely with couples, planners, and venues to make sure communication is clear and expectations are met well before event day. That way, when the celebration starts, everyone can relax and enjoy it. Being trusted with weddings is something we don’t take lightly, and we’re grateful for every couple who allows us to be part of such an important moment.

Mic Man Entertainment was hands down the highlight of our reception. What truly sets them apart is the interactive games. Our guests are still talking about how fun and unique they were. The DJ did an amazing job getting everyone involved without making it feel awkward or forced. For couples who prefer a more traditional reception, they absolutely can do music-only as well, but if you want energy, laughter, and unforgettable moments, the games are a must. The music was perfectly mixed and kept the dance floor full all night. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience.

Vows & Vibes was the BEST decision we made at our wedding! (Besides getting married of course lol) Chris and Jessie were fantastic. Chris is a phenomenal entertainer and Jessie was a godsend on our wedding day. She stepped up as a day of coordinator and made the day feel seamless and stress free. The venue ran into a few issues the day of and Jessie stepped in to make sure it got fixed before anyone noticed. The wedding guests knew where to be and when. She was fantastic!

We booked DJ Clife because it was important to us have an energetic emcee and DJ who would work with our non-traditional wedding day flow and could mix/transition music (not just queue a playlist). He understood our goals and helped advise in planning/details, answering all the questions I had. We had a little scare with our initial assigned day of DJ getting double booked but we were SO happy with DJ Kanoya and his assistant!! They were super personable, and we & all of our guests (we brought LOTS of east coasters with us to Iowa!) had an amazing night on the dance floor!

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 great part of our wedding day! The booking process was thorough and our venue preview with them was smooth and our questions were answered. The provided website with a timeline helped us truly navigate the smaller details of the day. The uplighting they provided set the mode perfectly. It was our DJ’s first Hindu Wedding and he tackled that challenge head on and did great. He was flexible getting our wedding back on schedule and adjusted to changes with ease.

I wasn't sure what to think about booking a company that matches a DJ to your wedding after booking, but they really did take the time to find what music style I liked and which DJ was going to vibe the best. Highly recommend!!!! The entire planning process was so easy with them and the online portal was so simple to use! They truly made my day exceptional!

Alternative Wedding DJs

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

Stereotypical wedding DJs spoil the fun. They play the same songs (boring). There are gaps between songs (awkward). And they talk on the mic too much (obnoxious). We’re the alternative. We beat match & blend music (non-stop dancing) We use the mic appropriately (vibe isn’t ruined) We personalize the playlist with your input (you’ll love the music) If you say things like, “We’re having a non-traditional wedding!,” or “We need to blend our multicultural families,” or “I’ll die if my domineering future mother-in-law demands that the DJ to play her QVC album collection,” ... then we're for you!

I would like to start by saying. "WOW". I recently had the pleasure of hiring DJ Elliott Ness for my son's wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough about the remarkable job they did. From the beginning, DJ Ness demonstrated impressive detail orientation and professionalism that set the tone for an exceptional event. During our planning meetings, it was clear that we were in the hands of an experienced professional. The DJ Ness took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and specific needs for the wedding. His expertise shone through as he provided insightful suggestions and curated a playlist that perfectly matched the ambiance we wanted to create. Every detail, from the song selection to the timing of the announcements, was meticulously planned. On the day of the wedding, DJ Ness's performance exceeded all expectations. His engaging presence and ability to read the crowd kept the energy high throughout the ceremony and reception. Guests were consistently on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves, which is a testament to his talent for keeping the party lively and entertaining. His seamless transitions between songs and genres ensured that there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. The wedding was truly spectacular, and much of its success can be attributed to the DJ's genius and expertise. He not only played great music but also created an unforgettable experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. If you're looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, experienced, and capable of delivering an unforgettable wedding celebration, I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Elliott Ness!!!!

DJ Obie

  • Serves West Des Moines, IA for additional fees

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 250 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
To us, the DJ was a critical part of our wedding reception. We wanted someone that would participate with us and our guests. OBIE was an instant hit! He has the type of personality that fits in with many. Whether it was the older couple who had the most years married or the younger generation... he has a way to connect and entertain. He checked in with us to be sure the "feel" was what we hoped for and was eager to please. We highly recommend Obie!!

Would HIGHLY recommend PrayzHim Entertainment. Professional, prepared, detail-oriented, genuine, and hilarious are just a few words I would use to describe Andrew Spence and his team. Andrew flawlessly set up for an outdoor venue he had never been too, and everyone could hear our ceremony even with some sprinkles of rain and 15 mph winds! He worked together with our videographer to capture the audio for our video at both the ceremony and reception locations. At our reception, everyone had fun with the photo booth, dismissing of tables, and musical chairs scavenger hunt. My family normally does not dance at weddings, but he kept everyone out there the entire night. 10/10 would recommend PrayzHim Entertainment!!

Arlen Music Productions specializes in providing live music entertainment presentations for Chicago wedding music, corporate bands, and fundraising band events. Much more than just a traditional standalone Chicago wedding band, Arlen Music ensembles are recognized as leaders within the Chicago special event band industry. Winner of the 2014-2021 Best Band by Better Magazine, the Ken Arlen Evolution Orchestra has also developed a nationwide presence with performances ranging from New Year’s Eve at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, to the Presidential Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C.

Indigo was the band we chose for our Chicago wedding at Salvage One. We cannot say enough great things about Indigo – they made all our wedding band dreams come true! The band is lead by the incredibly talented Kendall Nesbitt, who kept all of our guests on the dance floor (including himself) all night long, curating a set list that perfectly matched our music taste (Motown, oldies and pop). He delivered the BEST version of “Shout!” (with a mashup of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds!) we have ever heard. Some guests who typically do not prefer that song were raving about it. Each band member and singer were also insanely talented – Noah perfectly sang our first dance song “Forever You and Me”. We also would be remiss to not mention the solo guitar during our ceremony too. They were able to perfectly learn and play versions of songs we requested for the processional. If you are looking for a high energy, fun wedding band, we highly recommend working with Arlen, specifically Indigo. “Worth every penny.” – A happy father of the bride. Thanks Arlen/Indigo!
