The "Clife" of the party for sure!!! Tyler and I agreed as soon as we were engaged that we wanted to have the best DJ there is at our wedding and we nailed it!! Clife DJ Company also handled the music and more for the ceremony and throughout the entire day/night, helped with releasing tables for food, hosted the scavenger hunt game, and even surprised Tyler and I with a video of our special day that we could watch right on the dance floor that night!! The sound system was flawless throughout the entire day. The music was fantastic, and the dance floor was always packed, which is exactly what me and Tyler wanted. Me and Tyler even got to DJ at one point, which was so fun!! They were easy to work with, especially being able to use their app to download exactly what songs we wanted to hear and the ones we definitely did NOT want to hear (lol). They made it easy to stay organized and on top of everything. Clife you are amazing, and we would recommend you over and over again!!

Clife DJ Co was worth every penny and then some. Clife was professional, thorough and great to work with. DJ DAS (Dennis) was our host/DJ within Clife's select DJ's and he rocked it while keeping it classy and fun for all attendees. Clife and their DJ's are so much more than DJ's!... Dennis literally came as a vendor, left as a friend we hope to stay connected with. He was as much, if not more, of an amazing host and kept the entire day flowing correctly from ceremony, to formal intros, dances, etc. to the party and I seriously know we could not have pulled it off so well without him. Clife and Dennis are the A-team and if we had it to do over again we'd pick Clife's structure and professionalism and Dennis' execution every time!

I cannot express enough how much we enjoyed working with Clife DJ Company!! Clife was very professional and personable and most of all FUN! He made the whole process fun and easy. Brian, our DJ for the night, was amazing! My husband and I were able to have a Zoom call with him before the big day and talk through all of the ideas we had and vibe we were thinking, and he met our expectations and then some. The reception was a hit and all of our guests continue to express what a great time they had and that they LOVED our DJ! We will recommended Clife DJ Company to all of our friends who have weddings in the future :)

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Clife as our wedding DJ, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! From our very first consultation, Clife made it very clear that he was not the type of DJ to just show up and play a generic playlist. He took the time to get to know us, hear our story, and host an event unique to the two of us.
DJ Clife was able to take our music preferences and keep the crowd on the dance floor all night long. He provided us with an easy to use app to help us with the timeline, allowing for the day to flow smoothly with the perfect song for each special moment.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our choice for our wedding DJ. Clife was truly the life of the party and he went above and beyond anything we could have expected. If I could give any advice to newly engaged couples it would be to invest in your DJ and book with Clife DJ company!!

Brian, with Clife DJ Co, was an absolute rockstar! He adjusted the music according to the crowd and saved all of our preferred songs for when my husband and I were on the dance floor, so we didn’t miss our favorite songs. My husband cannot stop talking about how impressed he was with Brian, and this is coming from the man who did not want to hire a DJ at all! We are so grateful for Brian being a part of making our day perfect.

DJ Clife was an amazing choice as our wedding DJ! From the music, stage setup, accessories (smoke guns for us 😃), and making sure the day runs smoothly, his team killed it. The app that he has his clients use helps couples plan out their day and is extremely easy to use. 100% recommend using Clife and team for your wedding!!!

Dj clife was amazing. Favorite part was the customized portion for the bride and groom to dj and mix a few songs. Definitely worth every penny. To get clife himself if you can, he went all out for us and made the party rock with his team.

HOLY FREAKING MOLY!!! I don't even know where to begin. First of all, I do not write reviews often. But when I am absolutely blown away by a vendor, I have to leave a review! Clife DJ Company by far blew our expectations out of the water. They were so organized with having a planning app to multible check-ins throughout our wedding planning process. It is evident that they take pride in their business as they have the perfect mixture of professionalism and enthusiasm/fun.
DJ Clife kept our dance floor rocking all. Night. LONG!!! Our friends and family continue to remind us of how awesome the music and vibes were throughout our wedding day. I could not imagine hiring any other company other than this one. On top of that, they surprised us with an amazing video of our day that brought us to tears. They are so innovative and modern. Clife DJ Company made our night an absolute blast.
My husband and I are so appreciative and thankful for such a great wedding day and it's all thanks to the best DJ company. You will not regret hiring them for your celebration!

DJ Clife was amazing. He listened to our wants and needs, worked with us to custom tailor our wedding and truly made the night special. Clife was excellent at reading the room, playing appropriate music and when it was time to switch gears, he nailed it. I would absolutely recommend and use him again./

I had the pleasure of working with Clife DJ Company for my wedding back in July 2023, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Clife's energy and professionalism was unmatched. Additionally, the Glambooth was a huge hit with all our guests. The setup was sleek, the digital photos were high quality and the printed photos were the perfect keepsake for our guests. Thank you, Clife Estores, for making our wedding unforgettable! Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch entertainment and fun!

We booked only about a month before our wedding and Clife worked with us personally to help make sure everything ran smoothly and that we were prepared. They were so professional and fun to work with.
We used one of their junior DJs named Manny that was still training. He was excellent and kept the tunes up all night. He was fun and a lot of guests got to throw in requests and he ran with the punches. We even had a last minute request for a specific end of the night song which he accommodated easily. All the remaining guests gathered in one big circle and we sung and swayed out the evening. It ended up being one of the best moments at our reception and it's in large part to the DJ who helped orchestrate this.
I'd highly recommend using Clife DJ Company!

Clife DJ Company exceeded our expectations!! We booked DJ Russ immediately after meeting him at a wedding showcase event. He is professional and delightful; he listened to what we wanted most, and he delivered!! He ensured that our May the 4th be with you wedding featured subtle touches of Star Wars for my nerdy yet adorable husband by remixing Star Wars songs with songs we love and even gifting us lightsabers! We cannot thank this wonderful company enough!

We booked DJ Clife based on recommendations from a family member. He is professional, easy and quick to communicate with, and very knowledgeable! The app he uses helped us collect our songs, and easily organize our wedding timeline. Our meetings were productive, and he took the time to answer our questions and breakdown the vision of our day. The day of was A DREAM. He kept the day moving smoothly, and did not rush any part of the evening while checking in on us as the night went. Clife kept the dance floor packed until the very last song, and read the room to keep the party going. Guests continue to rave about how fun the DJ was. He made our night extra special!! We 10/10 recommend DJ Clife!

Book Clife DJ Company for your wedding and book Clife himself!!
We really enjoyed working with Clife to make our event amazing. The planning process was very easy with the use of the Vibo app. We were able to write comments and add music to different parts of the wedding day wherever and whenever because of the app. It was so easy. When it came to the planning meetings, Clife and the app made things organized and it was all very smooth and stress free.
We had such an amazing wedding day thanks to the part Clife played. He created an amazing party for our guests with amazing songs and mixes! Many of our guests enjoyed the fun presence that Clife brought to our event!
Thanks again Clife for making our day so amazing and memorable! We hope to get to party again with you soon!

We used for DJ Clife for our wedding 09/2023 and couldn't be happier! When looking for wedding DJs it can be tough to know what you're getting for your money. At first I was cautious as he is on the higher end of price ranges but noticed the higher ratings to match. I would say without a doubt DJ Clife Company was a perfect choice for us! We had several zoom meetings to discuss the vibe and creative view of our day and then focusing more on logistics and specifics for the night.
Our wedding had some specific scheduling needs including a 15 minute dance session at the beginning of the reception, 2 dance numbers, choregraphed formal dances and other surprises. Clife Estores delivered on every detail that was needed from the beginning of the day until the end.
Using the "Vibo" app helped us drop in songs and add information for our schedule to keep our conversations focused on what was needed - we enjoyed this process. Leading up to the wedding he was quick to respond to e-mails/texts with last minute questions or changed plans.
My main concern was finding a DJ who truly mixed the music like you would hear in a club/party atmosphere with the best 2-3 minutes of the song played and rolling right into the next song. I asked for a constant variety of music genres so it didn't fall into that typical wedding format.
Clife delivered some of the best music mixes I've ever heard! All of my guests commented on how great the music was and everyone from people who love to dance to those just watching all said how they really felt the party vibe. A couple commented that they planned to leave when the music slowed down and it never did so they stayed all night! He truly set the atmosphere in a positive direction and we had the best night of our lives!
If you are unsure of the cost I can assure you he is worth the expense and truly created a great atmosphere for everyone!
A few add-ons we used with DJ Clife:
Room Uplighting, 4 moving spotlights and 2 sparklers - all enhanced the night!
For anyone who has a lot of dancers in their guest list I would suggest looking into the LED dance floor with "Unique Events" in Cedar Rapids, IA. Pricey, but the DJ and dance floor were the most talked about from our guests.

I can't wait to express just how thrilled my partner and I were with DJ Clife! From the very beginning, his exceptional flexibility stood out. He not only accommodated our unique requests and last-minute changes, but he did so with a genuine enthusiasm that put us at ease throughout the planning process.
The personalization he brought to our big day was truly remarkable. He took the time to understand our music preferences and the overall vibe we wanted to create, and he delivered a playlist that felt tailor-made for us. It was such a joy to see our guests dancing and enjoying themselves to a mix of songs that felt like a perfect representation of our relationship.
Working with DJ Clife was an absolute blast. His vibrant energy and positivity was infectious, and he managed to strike that perfect balance between professionalism and approachability. He not only played fantastic music but also engaged with the crowd in such a charismatic way that kept the dance floor packed all night long!
In hindsight, choosing DJ Clife was one of the best decisions we made. His flexibility, personalized approach, and fun-loving attitude truly elevated our wedding day to an unforgettable celebration. If you're searching for a DJ who can adapt to your needs, curate music that resonates with your personality, and ensure a lively and enjoyable atmosphere, look no further. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him!

We highly recommend Clife! Clife provided the music for our Hindu ceremony (including baraat with a dhol drummer), Jewish ceremony, and wedding reception. Many wedding DJ’s are boring and play the same songs. Clife took into account our personal tastes in music and truly listened to what we wanted for our event. He was the life of the party! Everyone at the wedding kept asking where we found our DJ. He is so unique and fun!
Leading up to our wedding, Clife was organized and very communicative. We included some add-ons in our package, including sparklers for our first dance, multiple TVs to show pictures throughout the night, up-lighting, and a video guestbook. Clife truly provides a once in a lifetime experience for your special day. You won’t regret hiring him!

DJ Clife was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment! From the start, he showed professionalism and passion for his craft. DJ Clife had no issues seamlessly blending various genres, and kept the dance floor alive throughout the night. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the music was impressive, creating an electric atmosphere. DJ Clife is the most amazing and spirited individual who went above and beyond by helping us throughout the ceremony, including special videos from our guests and even involving us behind the booth! His attention to detail and dedication made our wedding reception truly memorable. We highly recommend DJ Clife for an unforgettable experience. Thank you, DJ Clife, for making our special day even more incredible. BEST DJ EVER!!!!

DJ Clife and team was amazing!!! From the very beginning of the planning process to the end of our wedding night, DJ Clife was so wonderful at helping us and giving us everything we wanted and even what we didn't know we wanted! The biggest thing we noticed at the end of the night was how well the music was a giant build up into the end of the night turning into a complete rager! After dinner he was playing music that everyone could enjoy and dance too, but music that allowed us, the couple, to go mingle for a bit! Once we were able to go around and talk with our guests - we told DJ clife we were ready to party, and he busted out the CO2 blasters!!! It creating this Miami type feeling that all of our guests enjoyed. He helped us with our music and mixed everything so well. His set was great for all of our guests and us! The build up for the music throughout the night was something we did not think about or take into consideration, but was critical to the entire flow of the evening. He was AMAZING, so thoughtful, kind, generous and truly such a blessing to have as part of our wedding! He added so many personal touches to the night. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!

We cannot say enough kind things about DJ Brian. He seriously went above and beyond for us and ROCKED our wedding. DJ Brian was so easy to work with and really listened to what we wanted for our wedding day. He walked us through the entire day from start to finish and was more than willing to make changes on the fly. He helped make our day so memorable not only for us but for our guests (he came up with the idea to sign Lance's grandma Happy Birthday for her 80th, something we know she will always remember!) DJ Brian also came to our rehearsal walk-through to make sure the sound was working, something he certainly did not need to do but did because he truly serves his clients. We are so fortunate to have worked with Clife DJ Company and personally work with DJ Brian - we will certainly be recommending you to our friends and family!!!

Our experience with Clife and his team was amazing. From the beginning, they were the epitome of professional. During our planning meetings, they asked meaningful questions and provided experience and guidance as we worked through the timeline. They were also very open to our own ideas and made sure they understood exactly what we wanted. They worked flawlessly with our wedding planner and venue and made the wedding day seamless. During the reception, they had the music queued up perfectly. Brian was great at reading the room and playing music that got, and kept, people on the dance floor. I would 100% recommend this DJ!

We found DJ Clife Company through our wedding photographer (JW Photography) during our photography consultation when we saw photo examples from our chosen venue that they had done that featured large sparklers -we immediately knew we had to have those for our whimsical, romantic, and enchanting wedding. Once we knew who supplied them and after perusing their website, we realized we’d be getting so much more than just the large sparklers, including a “dancing on a cloud” experience and a fun social booth, so we booked a meeting right away. Clife was very personable and energetic and all-around good vibes. We were sold. Clife also selected the perfect DJ for us, Shawn Holland, that made our day very special and memorable. He managed to take a genre of songs (instrumental anime and videogame covers, Lord of the Rings and fantasy music) that he wasn’t as familiar with (though we appreciated the enthusiasm and being up for the challenge) and seamlessly blended them with more traditional and expected wedding music. My husband also had a list of 80s songs that he really loves but couldn’t imagine where they’d fit in a wedding, and Shawn worked them in perfectly. He kept our guests entertained and informed throughout the evening’s events and made sure we were having the time of our lives, including bringing us up to DJ for part of the night which was exhilarating! If you’re like us and not the “music type” you could completely rely on Shawn to deliver a fun and enjoyable playlist for all parts of your wedding.

Clife and his crew really know how to make a wedding perfect. My guests were in complete awe by everything. Everyone is still raving about it and asking how we found him. If you want your day to stand out above the rest, go with Clife! I felt like a literal princess the whole night. He made everything seamless and stressless. I’ve never been to a wedding where the DJ was so involved and committed to your happiness. He is way above the rest when it comes to dedication. They have a lot of cool things no one else has to offer in the area as well. What ever you do make sure you dance on a cloud and add some sparks! Everyone was so surprised by it. I can’t thank Clife enough for helping make our day so perfect.

There are a few reasons I can't give DJ Clife a 5 star review, but I would like to start off with what worked for us on our wedding night.
First, DJ Clife, as a personality, is a really lovely person. He's really nice and easy to communicate with and was available for several phone conversations. Being from out of town, I was really lost as to who to choose as a DJ. I had wanted to fly in a DJ from out of town, since I knew a premiere DJ company in LA, but we were unable to find the top notch equipment they require. Our venue recommended DJ Clife as he had played there several times before, and so we went with a choice we thought would be comparable to our LA DJ.
Energetically, he has a lot of it. He definitely wants to keep people dancing and having a good time and ushers people to the next activity or moment in a rather seamlessly.
But there were some large reasons that it's not a perfect review. We had several phone and zoom conversations and had curated a pretty thorough list of songs we wanted played during our wedding, including a very specific timing of the aisle walk. Unfortunately, the aisle walk songs were not what was discussed and it messed up the flow of the whole aisle walk, to where I didn't walk down at the appropriate moment. The songs for our dancing were remixes that were very EDM-style, however, we had discussed that EDM was not music that our crowd enjoyed. Finally at the end of the night he began playing straight songs like Beyonce's Renaissance album, which we really wanted to hear (my little sister and maid of honor went up to him and told him we needed more Beyonce and he immediately started playing it). By that point, our crowd had dwindled down, and I finally said I liked the music he was playing.
I think overall, I wish he had come to our rehearsal, which he had originally said he would try to come to, but wasn't able to make it, I think this would have solved any problems with my aisle walk. When we first met and booked him, he asked what we love about DJs at prior weddings we have been to. And the biggest note we said was that we like when DJs have been unmemorable, really giving focus to the music and playing songs all the way through. I think he's more of a DJ who enjoys providing entertainment, which is not really our style.
Clife was really sweet and completely took responsibility for the elements of our night that was not up to par and compensated us for a part of the service he provided, which was genuinely appreciated. I think he is easy to work with, even though I wish he had retained a bit more from our conversations.

My husband and I are so happy that we hired DJ Clife to DJ at our wedding. He met with us multiple times over zoom to make sure he had all details correct. We had Brain from the company at our wedding and he was amazing to work with! He double checked all our names, had a vision for our reception, and helped the night run smoothly.

I don't even know where to begin with this review because DJ Clife is PHENOMENAL. Seriously, best freaking DJ I have ever seen (and we go to multiple weddings/even EDM shows). He worked with my husband Dillon and I almost 2 years before our wedding, and we had multiple meetings throughout the process to make sure our wedding went smoothly - from timeline, to layout, and music selections. He has all the bells and whistles including CO2 cannons, fog machines, cold sparklers, the photo-booth, a TV for his booth.. you name it, he has it. Our first dance we had both the fog and the cold sparklers, and the amount of compliments we received.
What I really enjoyed about working with Clife is that he took the time to understand us as a couple, and to know our music tastes, interests, and passions. His app, VIBO, allowed us to plan our music so seamlessly without any added stress. I remember looking at Dillon during our dinner and saying, "he really is playing all of the music we selected, I am so happy." The time, effort, professionalism, and knowledge it takes to plan a wedding of our size is not an easy task, and he did it with ease. We are so grateful he was apart of our wedding, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. He even surprised us with a wedding video from our bridal parties and parents, and that meant the world to both of us.
100000/10 recommend. Thank you Clife, from the bottom of our hearts. You were everything and more.

THE BEST, MOST HYPE DJ ever. We both have very high expectations and DJ Clife exceeded all expectations on our wedding day. We had a very curated playlist and have a pretty nontraditional taste in music when it comes to weddings. DJ Clife executed all of our wedding music to a t. Perfect timing in starting and fading the music out when needed and perfect audio quality. The music app he allows couples to have access to is very user friendly and you can even put your wedding timeline into the app. He was very organized throughout the entire process. We also made some last-minute changes by adding cold sparks to our wedding for our first dance and he was very flexible in getting this added for us. We have been to countless weddings and truly believe that DJ Clife is the best of the best.
Aside from a perfectly executed event, even from the very beginning we were impressed by DJ Clife as a vendor. Prior to even booking with him, he spent over an hour educating us with a slide show presentation. He spent an extensive amount of time with us throughout the planning process ensuring we felt comfortable and prepared for our big day. You can just tell how organized and experienced he is as a vendor from the get go but he continued to demonstrate that dedication throughout. He also showed up to our rehearsal simply because he wanted to, not because he had or was paid to do so. It means a lot to us when we can tell that business owners are truly trying to better themselves as vendors and really care about the couples that they are working with and DJ Clife is definitely one of those people. Truly caring about the experience/service he provides and his couples are what makes DJ Clife excel in his role. We could go on and on about how amazing Clife is and would highly recommend to anyone and everyone to book DJ Clife as your wedding DJ.

DJ Clife was so helpful. He made our day run so smoothly and we can’t thank him enough for it. He got everyone out on that dance floor and people still can’t stop talking about how great his services were. He’s so personable and really gets to know his couples before the big event by setting up multiple meetings and getting everything right to the last detail. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!
With love, Chloe and Cory Soehren!

Clife really went above and beyond our expectations, not only on our wedding day but every month leading up to it. I was always able to rely on him for a speedy response whenever I had a question. From the rehearsal dinner, to our outdoor wedding ceremony (with his remote set up), to the cocktail hour in the courtyard and into the reception...he was on top of it all. He flawlessly handled all of the location changes. During the planning process, he had us use an app for adding our songs too...this made it so much easier and made us not worry so much about if we were missing something. We got so many compliments on DJ Clife, he brings awesome energy to the party and makes sure to keep people dancing. Such a great experience.

Months later, I still have people telling me our wedding was by far the funnest wedding they have ever been to! I attribute a lot of that to DJ Clife. He is an amazing, high-energy DJ and kept the party hopping all night! Besides that, he is highly professional and a master MC. My husband and I are both professionals and we were looking for a DJ that would match our vibe. He did not disappoint. From the ceremony music, the special dances, introducing the wedding party and onto the party portion of the night, he kept everything running smoothly, on time and the guests engaged. He made a short, secret video with well wishes from our family and friends from THAT day and surprised us with it before our first dance. Incredible! DJ Clife is a huge part of why my day was exactly as I pictured and planned it. If that is what you are wanting for your wedding, I cannot recommend DJ Clife enough.

Since the day Denis and I got engaged, we dreamt of a day when all of our family and friends were in the same room, together, for the first time. We pictured an absolutely breathtaking wedding and a party that was breathtaking for a whole nother reason after! DJ Clife helped us make that happen! Denis found Clife on a deep dive for the best DJ in Iowa and we quickly realized after our meeting with him that we couldn’t pick anyone else! We quickly shifted our budget to make sure DJ Clife was a priority! We picked the whole package and boy was it worth it! We were told countless times that our wedding was the best anyone had been to! DJ Clife kept the dance floor packed all night long until the last song played at 11:50! We felt like we knew Clife forever and he was just one of our best friends! A DJ truly makes or breaks the day and I promise he will make yours!!

What an amazing time. Dj cliffe is truly worth every penny. We decided to go for the whole package for our wedding because it's a once in a life party! The whole experience was easy and professional. We met multiple times and he helped with timelines and made sure to know what we wanted and expected out of a DJ. He went above and beyond, asking guests for requests, opening and pouring some champagne for us as well as cleaning up a large spill on the dance floor and helping me up when I tripped on my dress! I would recommend him time and time again. So many people have since told us how amazing and fun DJ clife made the night.

Clife did an OUTSTANDING job! He made sure every single aspect of the planning was smooth and made our wedding day perfect. We’ve had the most compliments on our DJ and his ability to read a crowd. Highly recommend the social booth which he lets you customize and dancing on a cloud with the sparklers for your first dance. We had a magical day and we owe so much of that to him! Highly HIGHLY recommend!

I’m leaving this review a little over a month since our wedding where we booked DJ Clife. We’ve had some time to talk to, run into, and break down the wedding experience we had with family and guests. I kid you not, Every single person brings up DJ Clife! The professionalism was remarkable, starting from the week we decided to put down our deposit. We had a very large venue space, Clife came and looked at it months in advance to make sure he was prepared day of. We met with him 4 times over zoom planning out each step, special moment, wild ideas we had and he executed perfectly. On Day of event his set up and personal attire we top notch, he even visited each table to introduce himself and ask how sound quality was for everyone! The amount of energy and fun Clife provided was unreal. Aside from the bride, he literally was the talk of the wedding. Our guests had so much fun and were engaged the entire night thanks to Dj Clife. Out of the 1 million things my wife showed me prior to the wedding saying “I like this” or “I want this”.. booking Dj Clife’s full package, was without a doubt worth every penny and is the first thing I would suggest to any newly engaged couple. If you are lucky enough that Dj Clife has an opening on your big day, book! You and your guests will not be disappointed

Clife did an amazing job. I am so glad we chose him as our wedding DJ because when you invest in Clife DJ Company, you are getting way more than an awesome DJ. Clife acted as an additional day-of coordinator for us. He created a timeline that was extremely helpful and was always there to answer our questions and make sure we knew exactly what to do and when. The music was phenomenal, his emcee abilities are top notch, the uplighting and dancing on a cloud effect (so worth it, by the way!) were beautiful. We received so many compliments on how awesome our DJ was. Thank you, Clife!

DJ Clife was a huge part of why our wedding was such a success!! He was organized and helpful leading up to the event, and very responsive to any questions that we had. At the wedding, he was amazing at coordinating with the other vendors, and made sure that the dance floor was full all night!! The guests loved all of the special effects and details that Clife put into the production that night - we received multiple compliments on our DJ choice and a handful of inquiries into his company. We cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Clife, for an unforgettable evening!

Very professional, went above and beyond. I have never seen a DJ attend a wedding rehearsal until DJ Clife did. And it was very important that he did. I think the app is very handy for music selection and also for getting a perfect streamline for the day. I will definitely use him again for other functions in future.

Clife was such a fun DJ to have for our wedding! Leading up to our event, we were so impressed with his professionalism and willingness to hop on a video call (during Covid) and answer any questions that we had come up. He even contacted our other vendors to arrange a timeline for the day so we, the inexperienced wedding planners, didn't need to do that. We didn't have a day of coordinator for our wedding and Clife definitely stepped up and directly contacted each of our vendors to get things sorted out. Our wedding went so smoothly with virtually no hiccups and I really think this was, in part, because of Clife's meticulous planning efforts beforehand.
Clife also did a great job with the music for our day and kept people on the dance floor all night! We could tell he definitely knows how to read a crowd. His announcements were always so enthusiastic and he always knew the perfect time to make those announcements. Clife is also not the DJ to sit back and just push play on a playlist. He was so involved and was always dancing behind the DJ booth as well! Several of our guests and vendors (who have obviously been to a lot of weddings) came up to us later on in the night and commented what a great DJ he is. We highly recommend DJ Clife for your wedding!

A dream come true! DJ Clife made our wedding SUPER fun from the first moment until the last. He was involved with the guests making sure everyone was enjoying themselves, he check in with my husband and I (the bride & groom) several times throughout the day/evening. I had compliments from all of our guests about our wedding being the BEST wedding they have ever attended due to Clife's performance. He is a true master of his craft and we are so thankful he was available on our special day. It was unforgettable!! The fireworks, the photo booth, dancing on a cloud and special touches throughout the day were magical. THANK YOU for the amazing experience, not only for us but for families and friends!

Simply put - Clife is the best DJ in the area without a doubt. Entertainment was really important to my husband and I at the time of our wedding and we took our time searching for the right DJ who could deliver the vibe we were looking for. Not only could Clife mix music the way we wanted, he also offered a ton of extra bells and whistles that really made our reception so amazing and memorable! Our guests were blown away with all that he offered, from the photo booth, to the lights, to the bride/groom canon moment, and everything in between. He is detail-oriented, really takes the time to get to know his clients, and makes the music process easy and stress-free. If you're looking for a class act from start to finish, Clife is worth every penny you pay for his service!

We met DJ Clife at one of my best friends wedding and we decided to hire him for our wedding as well. He did an AMAZING JOB and kept everyone on the dancing floor!!...it was a super fun night! We even decided to get some extra time with him cuz the party was still going... we got the “Make It Lit” package and we couldn’t be happier with the results!! We had so many compliments of our guests regarding how cool the entertainment was!!

Clife is an AWESOME guy but an even better DJ. At our very first meeting he took the time to listen to our wants, requests and goals for our wedding night. He listened to our details and delivered. He was timely in his respond and went out of his way to make sure I always had a drink and that the crowd was having a good time. He kept the flow of events moving all evening long and paid attention to how people were responding to his music choices. The best part might have be his surprises he has for future couples... absolutely incredible. I HIGHLY recommend!!

DJ Clife was the hit of our wedding! He brought the party. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests had an amazing time. He was incredibly professional from our first meeting and great to work with. For a last minute planner like myself, his app for song requests was huge! It allowed us to have friends request songs ahead of time but still gave us all the control over what was played. Clife is a what I would consider a true DJ and is able to mix songs on the spot- even some very random requests from us the night of. Don't even get us started on the light display and effects- unbelievable. If you want somebody that does more than play a list of songs and goes above and beyond, I very highly recommend DJ Clife!

Attended an outdoor wedding & reception in Marion, IA at the Epic Event Center this weekend. Wedding was beautiful and the reception was AMAZING. Clif did a phenomenal job behind the microphone keeping guests informed of what was planned for the evening & when they were taking place. Clif did a great job honoring the wedding party, keeping the guests involved, playing requested songs, etc. The bride & groom's 1st dance was STUNNING! The lights, music, smoke & sparkler fireworks was so AWESOME! I have never seen anything so beautiful & amazing for the 1st dance. Hats off to you Clif on an amazing reception!

Our wedding was 7-20-19 and DJ Clife was amazing! We loved the fact that he took our first look photo and had it displayed on the dj booth, we were pleasantly surprised. Clife even came to our rehearsal at the venue so we were able to really feel how our special day would be with the live music. Every interaction with him has been thorough and we appreciated it. We live in Texas and had our wedding in Davenport Iowa; It was nice to have a DJ that took the time to know what we like. We definitely recommend him if you want to have a DJ you can trust will keep your wedding fun and interactive! -Dom and Ash Williams
