Alternative Wedding DJs

Absolutely amazing DJ and service. If you want a worry free event with a lot of fun , Brent and Team is your people. Easy to work with, veterans when it comes to setting up the crowd. I would totally recommend them.

For our wedding in August 2024, the music was extremely important to us. We are self proclaimed "music people" and so is Brent of Alternative Wedding DJ's. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd find someone as talented or creative in our small city of Omaha. Brent absolutely lit our dance floor up by providing songs everyone could dance and sing along with. The process pre-wedding was seamless as well. Brent allowed us to create different playlists for the events on our wedding day and share with him. This provided a collaborative experience to where Brent could incorporate fun mixes on songs that matched our taste and preferences. It was a total HIT! Our wedding guests still talk about how fun our dance party was, how good the music turned out and how much fun they had on our wedding night with us. We are so grateful we found Brent and Alternative Wedding DJ's and you will be too!! Best DJ company in Omaha hands down!

These are not your typical Hokey Pokey, Electric Slide, Chicken Dance type of wedding DJs. Think instead of the DJ at the underground rave where you first learned what ketamine is. Or the DJ at the gay club the night you and your friends learned *a lot* about yourselves. The DJ at the housewarming party of the person who you secretly wish you could become. That DJ? Probably works at Alternative Wedding DJs now. DJ Angie Spence played our wedding like a bell. She spun records throughout a life-threatening thunderstorm at our mostly-outdoor wedding venue. I don't know how she did it, but she played *with* the rain. She laid down what that crowd needed to give themselves permission to dance in the rain, transforming the weather from a disaster into an asset. We got wet and wild. DJ Riche Niche (Erin Poor) played a private party for me and some friends. The music was so good that random hot strangers came in from the street to party with us. 5 years later people are still telling me how much they enjoyed themselves and danced their asses off. Brent Crampton was clear and organized in his communications; generally an easy man to work with. Thank you all!

DJs Spencer and Erin were AMAZING! We had our wedding this past weekend, and we couldn't be happier with their set list. From the music and mixes to Erin's incredible, angelic voice guiding all the transitions throughout the day, they truly exceeded our expectations. I can’t recommend them enough!

Brent is a fantastic DJ and knows how to keep the party going! Thank you Brent for everything!!

Nick w/ Alternative Wedding DJs provided services for our wedding and reception in Sept 2023 and was not only great (and easy) to work with but completely understood what we were going for and more than delivered! We received multiple compliments after the fact that the DJ was amazing.

Brent was really easy to communicate with and his professionalism was perfect. Nick was our DJ and he did amazing on our wedding day! Got all of the songs we needed for dances and ceremony and was so nice and fun to have as our DJ. Thank you Alternative Wedding DJs! Highly recommend you to anyone getting married!

Brent was an absolutely amazing DJ and we are so happy we got to work with him for our wedding. He is extremely professional, kind, and a top notch DJ. He truly made our day extra special and you’ll be so happy if you get to work with him.

Alternative Wedding DJs is honestly the only way to go for a wedding. If you want to avoid stereotypical, cheesy wedding djs that all say the same things and play the same annoying songs, this service is for you. We met our dj Neal before our wedding and immediately clicked about our music tastes and what we wanted our wedding reception to look like. And most importantly, what we didn't want it to look like. We are seriously still getting compliments from people of all ages about our dj almost a year later. Most, literally most, saying that it was the best wedding dj they have ever seen. I cannot thank Brent enough for providing such an incredible service and Neal (aka werdisbond) for working with us and absolutely nailing his set at the reception and the ceremony as well. Besides actually getting married, our dj werdisbond was the best part of our wedding, hands down. Working with Alternative Wedding DJs was quick, easy, and an amazing price for what you are getting in return. Both Brent and your dj will work with you to make your wedding music exactly how you want it. I would recommend their services to anyone. Actually, as a wedding attendee, I would strongly urge anyone and everyone to look to Alternative Wedding DJs for their wedding. Thank you again!!

DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR WEDDING!!! Our DJ was Brent for our big day, and he made everything absolutely effortless. We sent him a couple of playlists so he could understand the vibe we were going for at different times through the night and he ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT. We said no songs that usually play at weddings, we want good music, and he said “I got you”. Not only were they affordable, Brent showed up with time to test all the sound equipment before jumping on, mixed all his own music through the night, and brought fun light ups to dance with. We seriously could not have asked for a better DJ. When I tell you there was someone on the dance floor at all times, I’m dead serious! We never had to herd anyone to go dance. That’s how good these folks are! All I have to say is WOW!!!

Excellent DJ, good at communication, professional and knows how to motivate guests onto the dance floor. Has a professional set up with lighting and fantastic speaker system. You can tell he loves being a DJ and has an outgoing personality to get a crowd rock and rolling! I am a wedding venue owner and he is definitely one of the best DJ's in Nebraska! Highly recommend him for your special event.

Brent was recommended to us by our wedding photographer and we were not disappointed! We were looking for a DJ who would keep the party going and not essentially just manage a Spotify playlist. Brent was exactly what we were looking for! He was helpful when I first met with him and throughout our planning process. When we had to unexpectedly postpone our wedding 3 days before our original date, Brent was super understanding and worked with us as we rescheduled. The night of our wedding, he seamlessly facilitated the MC duties and played great music! We got a ton of compliments on the dance and could not recommend him more!

DJ Ness was absolutely wonderful! He was everything that my husband and I wanted and then some. DJ Ness sat down with us before our event. He listened with great detail, asked a number of excellent questions, and created a plan for our reception that was perfectly executed. I cannot recommend Alternative Wedding DJs enough. We have attended a number of events that they have done. And again, they were the most perfect choice for our wedding reception. Truly. Our evening was perfect, and that was in no small part to the ambience that our DJ created. We are forever grateful and highly recommend this group of professionals!

Elliot was a great DJ and read the crowd well and adapted the music to fit. He was also incredibly helpful with the entire reception, doing things the day of coordinated would normally do and making the day smoother for us.

I honestly could not imagine working with any other DJ. Almost every wedding that we have been to had a DJ that just played off of a set playlist. I wanted a DJ that did not just play from a playlist, but one that would read the room and change the song to fit the mood and get people out on the dancefloor. After a lot of searching, we came across Alternative Wedding DJs and loved their bios, especially DJ Ness’. We asked if he had any upcoming shows so that we could check out his style. DJ Ness responded back and let us know he had a show at the Green Room in downtown Omaha. We checked him out and about 2 songs in, knew that he was the one for us. DJ Ness mixed songs, took requests, and everyone had an absolute BLAST! He set the tone for the night, and we got so many compliments for his talent and his amazing MC voice. We had a couple that told us they were leaving, and DJ Ness started to play one of their favorite songs. That couple ended up staying the rest of the night because how much fun they were having! Even during the planning stages of our wedding, DJ Ness was so easy going and helpful. We had sent him a few last-minute song requests that he was able to work in on short notice. Overall, a fantastic experience and we could not imagine working with anyone else! I highly recommend DJ Ness and if I were to have any event coming up, I would hire DJ Ness again in a heartbeat!

We hired DJ ness for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing! So much fun and did everything we asked. He’s an all around great guy!

We hired Brent to dj our wedding and he was awesome to work with. He was a good communicator during the planning process. We wanted specific songs to be played and he stuck to what we wanted, and also added some mixing effects which helped keep the dance floor rocking. He had an appropriate amount of interaction, making announcements as needed, and one thing that was awesome was he had a way to get all of our guests out on the dance floor at the same time to start the party! He even helped last minute to organize our guests to make a tunnel for us to run through during our introduction. He had excellent equipment and a disco ball which was a great addition. Overall we were very happy with our experience. His pricing is very fair and competitive compared with some other DJ companies. He let my husband “karaoke” and it really made our day. Thanks again Brent!!!

Alternative Wedding DJs made our wedding an absolute blast. They made everything super easy from music selection to setup at the event. Our DJ Brent was very communicative and helpful and did an awesome job at being the MC for our wedding. We highly recommend them our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them!!!

AWDJ is the best! I love that they offer music that isn't so typical "wedding" and actually gets guests on the dance floor.

Brent was awesome! Really laid back while still being completely professional. Kept things moving seamlessly and, it nearly goes without saying, plays great music.

We LOVED working with Alternative Wedding DJs. DJ Ness was great, so personable and friendly. We booked pretty early and had to make some drastic guest list changes over the course of our time, but he was so kind and wonderful to work with--he just rolled with our changes. We just had our wedding this past weekend and he was AMAZING! He brought so much energy to the event and worked with us to make it a very unique experience for ourselves and our guests. Throughout the wedding, we had multiple people tell us how much they loved the music he was playing. We had one of the best nights of our relationship so far. We'd highly recommend him and Alternative Wedding DJs in the future!

DJ Ness did a fantastic job - he was very responsive leading up to our wedding, got to know what we wanted to hear during the event, and did a great job keeping our guests on the dance floor.

Elliott was so incredible to work with. So fun, so caring, and very helpful throughout the whole process. Overall amazing human, and we can’t recommend him enough for your wedding or event!

The absolute best!!! We had an amazing time coordinating our dances and timeline with Elliot! He was helpful, honest and so much fun! He felt the room for song choices and it made for an epic reception where everyone danced the night aaay! I would recomendable him 20/10.

Alternative Wedding DJs were so great to work with on our wedding! If you’re looking for something more authentic to bring the heat to the dance floor look no further, these are your people. The dance floor was full from the start of the reception to the finish, so many people came up afterwards talking to my now wife and I about how much fun they had breaking it down. The team was really good about taking our song recommendations and putting together a set list with mixes that had everyone dancing, even if they knew the song or not. We also worked with them on our ceremony and reception speeches for sound and everything went so smooth! Definitely cannot recommend enough.

Great wedding DJs, far better than your typical wedding music. Allowed for great customization and did a fantastic job! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an elevated wedding music experience.

DJ Animale DJ'ed our wedding and I have not had that much fun in probably my whole life. His music was INCREDIBLE. We are still getting compliments on how awesome the music was. I no joke still have songs stuck in my head two weeks later. Alternative DJ's are truly incredible and made our day. Thank you for the party we will never forget.

Alternative Wedding DJs made our wedding an unforgettable experience--We could not have been happier with our decision to hire them! We met with Alternative Wedding DJs prior to our wedding to review details, timelines, & playlists--They were incredibly helpful, professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process and they worked seamlessly with all our wedding vendors. We were very appreciative of Alternative Wedding DJs helping out with introductions, announcements, sound during our ceremony/dinner, and other tasks since we didn’t have them playing music until after dinner. Alternative Wedding DJs are experts in their field. They are exactly what you want when looking for a DJ because they listen, understand what you're looking for, and execute it better than you could have hoped for. Alternative Wedding DJs has great tricks to get everyone on the dance floor and was able to read the crowd to keep all generations dancing and having a fantastic time! Our family and friends had only positive compliments about our DJ and music (which was our DJ’s playlist). Our wedding couldn’t have been any better and the music choices made for a great atmosphere! We would hire Alternative Wedding DJs again and highly recommend them to anyone, anytime!

Brent was an incredible DJ. He seamlessly transitioned from your more typical wedding favorites to appeal to the older guests in attendance but really threw it into next level territory later on in the night. He accepted numerous song requests and was extremely accommodating. He also set up all his equipment even though it was storming outside our reception tent. Whatever your preferences are music wise for your wedding you can be assured that Brent can meet your requests. Would 100% recommend Brent to anyone considering hiring a DJ for their wedding or any other event.

What can I say, these guys are pros! If you're the kind of couple that has a musical need outside of the standard wedding repertoire these guys are for you. We had a vintage 30's inspired wedding on New Year's Eve. We got the perfect blend electro-swing and modern classics to keep the party going. They even figured out our New Year's countdown for us. At the end, we even got to keep the final mix! The whole process was simple. We met up and talked about our vision for the reception. We sent them a couple of Spotify playlists based on what we thought we might like to hear. They took care of the rest. 5/5 stars - Could not recommend more.

Our experience was perfection with Alternative Wedding DJ's! So easy to work with and really took the music to the next level in our unique environment. I'd consider myself an alternative bride, I wasn't interested in the standard wedding set up so finding them was a great fit. We chose to have a small wedding at a restaurant so our ceremony, dinner/speeches and dancing were all in different spaces. They accommodated each area really well, we could hear vows, speeches and music clear and crisp as all times. I loved working with them on the music list, if there is one thing about weddings I'm not a fan of, it's the standard music lists other DJ's push out. Alternative Wedding DJ's embraced us as a couple and really made it our own. We shared a huge list of music we love, I wanted a fresh unique list, and they created the playlist based on that direction. I had friends at the reception asking about songs they had not heard before and just loved! Our wedding day vibe was everything I had hoped it to be, thanks to Alternative Wedding DJ's!

Brent Crampton is a legend of a DJ. We love to party with all different kinds of dance music, and Brent tailored a soundtrack to our exact tastes. My friends (some of whom happen to be DJs themselves as well as music snobs) will not stop raving about how much fun our dance was! Further, Brent does it all: he rigged speakers to play our desired wedding ceremony music during the walks down the aisle, he MC'd the entire event, and finally DJ'd an amazing dance party. If you are looking to dance to cool fun wedding music that's more than your typical "sweet caroline" and "cotton eye joe" Brent is the man for you.

Brent was wonderful. He was accommodating and flexible. Very talented. He made our wedding so special in was I never would have thought of. Thank you so much Brent!🤗❤️

Brent was amazing! He went right along with all my requests and pleased the crowd too! That’s hard to do to please both the bride and the entire room! Would definitely recommend. What you get for what you pay is absolutely outstanding 💕👌🏾

Brent did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding reception last night. He was a huge help in making us feel prepared before the wedding, very thorough, communicative and easy to work with. The day of the wedding was where he really stood out, the music was exactly what we wished for, and he handled all the announcements, transitions, and information for the guests very expertly and professionally. Most importantly, he was flexible and easy to work with when we needed it most. There were some logistical issues that delayed the serving of the food, and he was able to help adjust our schedule and make sure the rest of the night went off without a hitch. Five stars, the best wedding dj I've seen in action, I emphatically recommend working with him!

I just wanted to say that my husband and I hired Brent for our wedding and he was amazing. He just knew what to play and everyone danced so much. He has so many genres that are available to you and he mixes it up so well. This guy is the real deal and should be first on the list for your wedding DJ needs.

Brent was amazing to work with! The communication was easy. He helped us set up a timeline for the evening and then I sent him my Spotify playlists to give him an idea to work with, and he took it from there. We weren't even going to have a DJ at our wedding, but I'm so glad we did! I've never heard anyone DJ so smoothly - every transition was seamless and so fun! Thanks to Brent for making our big day a party with all of our closest friends and family.

Brent was provided exactly the experience we wanted from beginning to end. The music was the perfect soundtrack to our night. Highly recommend Brent to any couple looking to get away from the cookie cutter cheesy DJ experience. You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I had a a vision of a unique wedding experience. My husbands family is from India and somewhat conservative, my family, wild all American. We wanted to fuse both cultures into our wedding music. Brent Crampton fulfilled our dreams. Not only did he manage all the musicians for our wedding ceremony (Sitar, tabla, etc...) but created a music experience completely unique for our wedding reception. He fused and wove the sounds of India into American funk, dance, pop. We had a Punjabi Soul dance party that 8 years later, I STILL have people telling me it was the BEST wedding reception they had ever attended (and we didn't even serve alcohol!). Brent was a complete professional, taking over management of every detail regarding music and sound details for both the ceremony and the reception afterward. He was always on time for any meeting leading up to the big day and was very patient and accomodating for all of our crazy requests. (Not easy to find a sitar player in Omaha, Ne)

After hearing Brent DJ at a wedding of a friend of ours, we knew who the DJ was going to be for our wedding. He was very easy to work with and always does an amazing job. We wore out that dance floor.

Brent was easy to work with, professional, and best of all - played an awesome and eclectic playlist that got people dancing and fit the vibe of the wedding perfectly.

Brent was phenomenal. From our initial encounter, I knew that he was the man for the occasion. Although the objective was for Brent to play a rotation for everyone to enjoy, I am very particular about my music selection - I'm a music snob - and Brent came through with music that catered to all. He was extremely professional and created a lot of energy. Brent has such an awesome and positive vibe. Brent was amazing.

My wedding day was hands down The. Best. Day. Of. My. Life. Most of that has to do with the nonstop dance party which has everything to do with Brent! As a bride that did everything herself (not recommended) he could not have been lovelier or more easy breezy while being the constant professional that he is. Listen ladies, this was a great saving grace for someone that was at max capacity for stress. Hire him and breathe easy because you're also locking down a top-notch time. I even emailed him morning of with additional song requests and he gladly added them to our evening of entertainment. Could not recommend him more and I feel so lucky he's now extending his passion and talents to weddings in Omaha. Book him while you can! My only complaint? Probably that we wasted money on what I thought at the time was a genius late night snack. So much food was wasted because NO ONE was leaving the dance floor... that's kind of the dream disappointment scenario.

We had a great time working with Brent! We had quite a few children and grandparents at our wedding, so we wanted to make sure we didn't end up with any inappropriate songs and he did a great job of that! We had great music to dance to, he was incredibly friendly and helpful, and all of our guests loved him!

From the very beginning, Brent was attentive to and involved with the details of our wedding ceremony and reception. We were completely impressed with the energy and thoughtfulness that Brent put toward our celebration. One aspect of Alternative Wedding DJ that I most appreciated was how Brent asked for us to articulate our vision for our wedding celebration (i.e. setting, timeline, traditions, music interests, etc.) so that he could guarantee to create an evening that represents us as a couple. He then connected with the venue to understand the logistic and establish a report that made the whole thing run smoothly. He even collaborated with an Albanian musician that we also had performing at our reception! Our pre-ceremony, ceremony, and reception music was truly fantastic! For the evening, Brent also took on the role of curator so that the guests felt comfortable and we adhered to our schedule, both of which made the evening so enjoyable for my fiance and me and our guests. The DJ is such an integral part of a wedding, I would argue the most important logistical piece in the day, and Brent of Alternative Wedding DJ was perfect! Thank you, Brent!
