DJ Clife is the best!! He just helped us with our wedding and was amazing to work with! He knows so much about curating the right energy and creating an event that keeps people engaged and excited. Our guests absolutely loved him! Our shuttle bus was overflowing at the end of the night because so many people stayed. We loved how the songs flowed and how he incorporated our song preferences. The sound system was amazing too! He was able to make 3 hours of dancing never feel boring or repetitive. Different moments were introduced to keep the night fresh! Leading up to the wedding he was so thoughtful and truly got to know us and what we were looking for in an event. I would 1000% recommend.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Nationwide Wedding DJs made finding a DJ for our wedding so much easier than we expected. Michael was quick to respond and got us connected with DJ Danny Crush, who turned out to be perfect for our event. Once we were linked with Danny, we didn't need a middleman anymore and could communicate directly, which streamlined everything. The setup was smooth and Danny kept the energy high all night long. Using an agency like Nationwide to find a local DJ in our area saved us hours of searching on our own. The booking process could use some polish in their planner formatting, but overall we're grateful for how efficiently they got us to the right person for our special day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better musician for our wedding! Erica was absolutely incredible—her energy was amazing, and she brought the exact romantic vibe we were hoping for. One of the most special moments was hearing her beautiful rendition of Billiane’s version of "Simply the Best"—it truly gave us chills. I also loved getting to soak in her talent during our cocktail hour; every song was just perfect. She made the whole experience unforgettable, and we would recommend her in a heartbeat!

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
DJ Obie is seriously the BEST!! He always brings such great energy that there’s no way anyone can have a bad time. Every wedding I’ve attended where he’s the DJ I’ve always had a smile on my face because of him. So many guests that were at our wedding continue to speak so highly of him. Our wedding was an absolute blast and I am so grateful he was our DJ!! I will always HIGHLY recommend DJ Obie!

We absolutely loved having Corey with Faithful Frequencies as our wedding DJ! From start to finish, he was fantastic to work with. He was so helpful during the planning process — super organized, responsive, and made everything easy for us. On the big day, he nailed every detail, from the introductions to the timing of songs.

How to start? Perhaps, offer a little praise for him? Andrew was incredible to work with. He & prayzHim Entertainment came highly recommended & were even better than advertised! It was so easy to work with him & develop a plan for our wedding reception experience. He provided a simple worksheet that broke down each type of moment/sub-event within the wedding reception & what type of music would be playing. On the night of, Trisha stepped in & held the reins. The ambience she created was perfect & led to a beautiful flow that really provided us with great peace in the evening. Their Christian values were very important to us as we included so many families in our special day & wanted a very wholesome experience! The evening was above & beyond our expectations playing popular music to dance to & celebrate with as well as helping us with table greetings, dinner dismissal, photo & video booths, & so much more. Highly recommend for ANY wedding reception, especially a Christian one!

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!

  • Serves West Des Moines, IA for additional fees

Bespoke Entertainment is a wedding DJ and MC company based in Norfolk, Nebraska, covering weddings across Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota. Andrew "Roo" Borer has been performing for over two decades and built Bespoke on one idea: your music should sound like it belongs to you, not like a playlist someone else picked. We handle DJ and MC duties, ceremony and cocktail sound, uplighting, dance floor lighting, monogram projection, and our own photo booth. One vendor, one load-in, one person your coordinator has to find instead of three. We work this region constantly and know most of the rooms in it.

Bespoke Entertainment was a fantastic choice for our wedding band and DJ. Their communication was great - they were professional and responsive, answering all of our questions quickly. On the day, they played all night long, keeping the dance floor packed with a great song selection. They made the night about us, not putting on a show, and all of the band members were true professionals. We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience to make our special day perfect.
