We hired Alex because we wanted a high quality DJ to make our wedding as fun as it could be. He was very accommodating to any requests or ideas we had prior to the wedding and then during the wedding he did great with song requests and getting them in the rotation with clever and awesome transitions. He did awesome with the transitions as well, seamlessly flowing from genre to genre and song to song. If you like EDM music and want that to be your vibe for your wedding, Alex is who you want to hire! We gave him a do play list and what types of music we like prior and from there he created a great and fun night with what we gave him. I highly recommend him for your wedding if you are going for the most fun reception possible!
Alex was amazing. He is clearly passionate about his job and goes out of his way to meet individualized needs. He had great communication. He reached out to us several times and “led the way,” where as while searching for a DJ, others basically just never responded. Day of, he was so helpful. My cousin sang at the wedding, he worked with her on very short notice to make sure it was all perfect. He also MCed the whole reception, made sure we kept to the timeline, and was generally just there to help in any way necessary.
We used DJ Mickey Beach and he was so good. Worked well with us before the meeting to assure he knew our preferences/plan, got there early to set up and make sure everything was working, etc. He guided us through the evening as a true professional - was also just fun and inspired high energy. The guests never left the dance floor! We were over the moon happy with his services!
Alex was super easy to work with, and was very knowledgeable about what worked and didn’t at our venue. He had great suggestions for lighting setup on each level of our venue and stressed to us his focus on not only keeping the party going, but delivering clear instructions to guests on what was happening, where to go next, and so forth. We were super impressed with this aspect of his DJ services, and he definitely delivered on that and then some! Our dance floor was a party pretty much the whole night – we even had a couple of really shy nephews who previously refused to dance at weddings get out on the floor (and at least one shy dad)! If you’re looking for a professional, someone who keeps the party going for everyone, and an all around nice guy, look no further than Alex!
We used a DJ through DJ Alex Reed for our wedding on April 6th, 2024 and they did an incredible job! So many people complimented us on the music and people were on the dance floor up until we left. Highly recommend using them! Exceeded expectations!
Alex was the DJ at my wedding back in September of 2023 and he did such an amazing job. He was easy to communicate with, very organized, and added such a fun atmosphere to our big day. Could not recommend him enough!
Booking Alex as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding. As we have seen our guests in the month since our wedding nearly half the people we talked to start with “We had so much fun at your wedding, your DJ was incredible!” Many other people noted (and we agree) that Alex was the best DJ they’ve ever experienced at a wedding.
Through the planning process, Alex was responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Booking him was a low lift for us as far as planning on our end — really all we had to do was give him a sense for our taste in music and he did the rest! The Photo Booth was also awesome, guests really loved it. BOOK DJ ALEX REED!
Alex Reed absolutely MADE our wedding night. He kept the music and party going throughout the entire evening. He played the best songs and was able to read the room to make sure ALL our guests were on the dance floor having fun. We also utilized his photo booth which was a huge hit with our guests! It produced great pictures and was user friendly for our guests to have their images sent directly to their phones. Highly recommend!
Alex Reed is by far the best DJ in Kansas City. He kept our reception going all night long and played the best music. He is so fun to work with! We also chose his photo booth with our DJ package and our guests LOVED it. He is very professional and is very strong with communicating. We had some last minute additions to our wedding ceremony for sound/music: there was no questions asked, Alex took it on without a problem. Hire Alex to DJ your reception, you will not regret it. We are so honored that Alex and his staff were able to help us host our special day.
If you want a party, you need Alex Reed! After seeing him in action at other weddings as both a guest and a fellow vendor, we knew he was the only choice for our own wedding. We had our event at a venue that required 3 separate stories and spaces where Alex had to set up and handle sound, music, lighting and emceeing, and he made it look easy. Alex is a talented professional who can help control the flow of your event flawlessly, get the party started and keep it going! One of the groomsmen affectionately described his song selection as 'relentless' because he didn't want to leave the dance floor all night even to grab another drink because Alex just kept playing one great song after another. He takes the time to get to know you as a couple and understand what you're looking for in terms of the tone and vibe of your event. Could not recommend his services more!
Alex was amazing at keeping people on the dance floor and the party going! It was so helpful to have him give us song/timeline recommendations for the reception and handle our MCing. We definitely felt like we were in the best hands for entertainment. After the day, so many people, old and young, came to me and told me how wonderful our DJ was. Thank you so much Alex, 10/10 recommend having him at your wedding!
Hire Alex as your DJ!! Not only is he an incredible DJ, but he is a fun and amazing person to work with. From our initial meeting with him, my husband and I knew he was the perfect fit. He worked hard to get to know our preferences and integrated our "must play" list easily. He emceed the reception flawlessly and never took away from the event. He kept the party going all night long and even added on a few extra songs because people were not ready for it to end!
Looking to throw one heck of a party? You need DJ Alex Reed! He kept the party going all night long! He did a great job keeping the night organized and flowing smoothly. He is the professional for the job. You will be living your best life with Alex as your DJ!
DJ Alex Reed had DJ'd at two of our friends' weddings we had been to and came highly recommended. We were so sad when he was already booked for our date over a year out (book early!) but he offered a call with DJ Max, who was available on our date. Max was AWESOME! We had a fantastic intro call where he learned all about our taste in music, our families' preferences, and the overall vibe we were going for. He was also super respectful of anything we didn't want played and reviewed those notes with us a year later a few weeks before our wedding. Max KILLED IT at our wedding reception! He's a true mixing DJ so he really watched the crowd to keep the party going. He also emcee'd for us from cocktail hour through the reception and was super cool and confident when making a brief announcement while flowing with our schedule and keeping everything moving. Max was the perfect addition to our wedding and we truly enjoyed having him as one of our vendors!
I can't recommend Alex enough. He was so responsive to any communication, and really worked with us to make our wedding feel unique. We've gotten so many compliments from guests about the music played at the reception and the way he transitioned between songs. My biggest complaint is that my feet were absolutely killing me the next day because I couldn't leave the dance floor; he literally never played a bad song, and I wasn't about to abandon such great music.
DJ Alex Reed is absolutely fantastic! He made everything so easy: planning, set up, the day of, etc. He continually kept check on the vibes of the dance floor and pivoted music accordingly. Everyone of all ages was raving about how awesome he was! He's by far the best DJ I've met in KC!
He is a wonderful man and very sweet! He’s an absolute doll to work with. Very professional in meetings as well as smooth transitions to song to song as well as great ques!!! 10/10 will recommend on anyone!!! Thank you again Alex:)))
I knew that I wanted Alex Reed as our DJ and boy was I right! We met with him about a month before the wedding to discuss wishes for each of our dances and other parts of the ceremony/reception. We didnt want any of the typical party "group dances", and gave him some ideas of types of music we like. He knocked it out of the park. He was able to read the crowd and choose songs based on the vibe of our guests. We had people on the dance floor till the very last minute. In the days and weeks following the wedding, we had numerous people comment on our reception and what an amazing job Alex did with our music. We had minor changes during the reception that he was able to accomodate each of those with ease. He helped keep us on track with our timeline in order to maximize the time our guests had to dance and have fun. We could not be more pleased with Alex and all he did for our big day!
DJ Alex Reed is a DJ genius and had all of our guests dancing the entire night! We cannot recommend him enough! While planning our wedding from the east coast felt daunting at times, we felt completely supported by Alex. He called us prior to our wedding and reviewed the entire day's schedule with us. Our friends and family still talk about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding, all of which would not have been possible without Alex!
Our wedding would not have been the same without Alex! He contributed so much to our day and was always so approachable and helpful throughout the planning process. I had high expectations for my wedding DJ and Alex definitely met them!
Super professional and on top of everything throughout the whole wedding process. Delivered all that we could have asked for and really elevated the whole experience, not to mention he delivered absolute fire through the speakers!
Alex knows how to throw a great party!! So glad we booked him!! We had the BESST time on the dance floor as did our guests, there was no awkward "who is going to go dance first" time at all. From the ceremony to reception, he was so smooth! Very affordable as well. 10/10 recommend!
When it was time to book a dj for our reception it was no question we were going to hire Alex. We hired Alex Reed for our reception back in Kc. This was an event mainly for my mom, so all of her friends and extended family could celebrate. It was definitely an older crowd and Alex played the best mix of oldies and current songs. My moms friends kept telling me how great of a dj he was, as did my friends! Everyone was up and dancing, people in their 20s/30s and people up to their 70s. Thank you Alex for making it a great night! And everyone also loved the photo booth! I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for the BEST dj for their wedding, one that will get the guests dancing and keep them dancing all night!
It took me a while to fully commit to a DJ because I had never heard any local KC DJs play, so was going solely off of reviews and recommendations from others. Not to mention, a great DJ was one of my top priorities, so I felt a lot of pressure to chose the best one. Alex was the ONLY DJ to be highly recommended by every single one of my vendors, and for a great reason. He was very thorough when planning our day, very professional and most importantly - he can read a crowd like no other! Look no further when planning your wedding - he is worth every penny!
We hired DJ Max James through Alex Reed and he did not disappoint! From our very first interaction, it was clear that DJ Max had our best interest and our vision top of mind. He was so easy to communicate with and plan with, it was by far one of the easier interactions we had when planning. On our wedding day, everyone loved him! He did such a good job announcing our wedding party, getting our guests excited about dancing, and reading the room to keep the dance floor full at all times. The music was awesome and perfect for us and our guests. If we did it all again we would definitely hire DJ Max!
Alex provided an absolutely amazing experience for our wedding, it was a great party all night long which was exactly what we were looking for. You really can't ask for a better DJ to work with.
Alex was an amazing DJ! Our first wedding had to be canceled because of COVID. Alex worked with us on our new date. I requested Cuban music to be played during the reception and he was able to incorporate it well. Our guests had a great time dancing. He met with us a month before the ceremony to figure out our likes and dislikes, must haves and overall vibe that we were going for. He takes requests on the fly and my husband´s friends were very happy that he finished off our evening with a Creed song (a tradition for their friend group). I’ve passed Alex’s name along to several friends getting married. My suggestion is to book him early if you are interest- there’s a reason he’s so highly sought out!
The best!! Alex kept the party going with fun music and his photo booth is amazing - so sleek and high quality pictures.
Alex was an amazing DJ! He knew exactly what to play to keep the party going. He was able to please a variety of ages and music tastes. On top of that, he is so great to work with! I highly recommend Alex if you’re looking to have a full dance floor at your wedding!
Absolutly perfect! We used Alex for our son's wedding 3 years ago and he is the first thing I booked when our daughter got engaged!
Alex is the best! I cannot tell you how many people complimented the music at our wedding. The dance floor was PACKED the whole time, not one dull moment or bad song! The planning process was so easy! We had a couple of songs we wanted played and Alex mixed them in so effortlessly with all the songs he knew would GET THE PARTY GOING. He, also, did sound for our ceremony and everything was perfect. He helped prep our officiant and my dad, MOH, and best man for speeches and helped make them all feel so comfortable. He worked so perfectly with our other vendors (specifically our planner) to keep us on track and on time. ADD THE PHOTOBOOTH - it was a huge hit!! I literally do not have enough words to describe how AMAZING Alex was! Thank you for making my wedding a dream come true!
Alex is amazing, hands down! We never had to worry about anything at all and the whole process was so easy! We met with him over the phone twice and talked through what we needed. He played the music for our outdoor ceremony and my family said the sound quality was so good it sounded like we had a string quartet playing! I never had to worry about the song changes or the cues, he did an awesome job. Then, for the reception, all of his announcements were easy to hear, concise, and had good energy! He kept our diverse age range of a crowd on the dance floor and we all were lovin it. We even threw in a happy birthday song for Kyle's grandma at the last minute and he made the announcement seamlessly! We would definitely recommend DJ Alex Reed!!
Alex was exceptional! We decided to have an intimate 20 person wedding this fall. Alex was flexible and able to handle our pared down ceremony and reception plans. Being in the wedding industry in the past, I know choosing your DJ is one of the most important decisions you can make. Alex's reputation in the KC wedding world is unmatched. Don't mess this up, hire Alex and keep the party going!
If DJ Alex Reed is available the weekend of your wedding, BOOK HIM!
Having our wedding in Columbia, I was worried Alex wouldn’t travel 2 hours, but to my surprise he was more than willing and accommodating. He DJ’ed both our ceremony and reception in a city and venue he wasn’t that familiar with- and yet, I didn’t worry a single second because he is so experienced, attentive, and prepared with all the equipment necessary to pull off everything without a hitch.
The moment I touched the dance floor, he started playing one of the songs on my “do play” list, and the next thing I knew, over two hours had passed! I literally danced the night away! One song would fade and blend seamlessly into the next, keeping the energy high, and making it impossible to stop dancing. Still to this day, our guests talk about how great our DJ was. Simply put by my husband, “he put on an awesome party.”
I firmly believe that music can make or break a wedding reception, and DJ Alex Reed is guaranteed to make it!
If your goal is to have a packed dance floor from the time the music starts to when it ends, then Alex is your DJ. Alex knows how to work the floor and get all ages out there, even the grandparents. When my husband and I were in planning-mode, one of our most important goals for wedding day was to have a welcoming, lively dance floor with upbeat music. Alex gave us just that. Prior to wedding, Alex was accommodating, thoughtful and curated an amazing reception playlist that captured just the right amount of music we (the couple) love + music everyone can appreciate. If you want a reception worth your guests remembering + people asking you the next day "who was your DJ? He was amazing?", hire Alex.
DJ Alex played a huge role in making our wedding day amazing and fun. He helped us find a piano for a family member to play at our ceremony and facilitated all the different microphones for performers, readers and live stream, which I’m sure was a huge task. He was also a great emcee during the entire night and kept the night flowing smoothly. He is a very talented DJ as well, he asked us initially for song preferences and made a playlist perfectly tailored to us and the crowd. Everyone was dancing and having the best time all night and we were really impressed with his selections. We still get comments months later from guests on how perfect the reception music was that night. Overall, I’m really happy we chose him and he definitely knows how to make a wedding special and fun.
DJ Alex Reed exceeded our expectations. Beyond the super fun music and his natural ability to address your guests... he was so intuitive about the flow of the evening. He checked in with us at key moments and kept things moving along if there was an awkward gap in our schedule. He was so thoughtful of every detail. For example, he could tell we were ready to get our father/daughter & mother/son dances out of the way to open up the dance floor for guests. He would check in with us to make sure his intuition was right, then he would coordinate with photography to make sure they captured the moment, addressing our guests to watch the dance floor, and then starting our music. He is without a doubt the main reason our wedding ran so smoothly. He asked all the right questions in preparation for the night and nailed the vibe we were going for. I can't recommend him enough!
I wanted to pass along a compliment for DJ Max. He DJ'd for both of my daughter's weddings during Covid this year and he did an amazing job at both of them!! Not only did he communicate well with the couple, he followed their wishes and kept everyone dancing the whole night! He kept our timeline and when there was a change of the timing of dinner, he suggested speeches before dinner to fill up the time better, which worked out perfectly! He did the ceremony for my second daughter's wedding and it was perfect!! For my first daughter's reception he moved from outside, to inside to back outside without complaint (per our request). He was so professional yet personable to work with! I can't say enough good things about him. Everyone enjoyed him. Thank you for keeping our special evening flowing so well and for such good suggestions!
Alex is the best! We had him for both the ceremony and reception and he helped make the day awesome. The ceremony music was done beautifully and he kept the party going for the reception. Super professional and awesome to work with!!! Trying to think of other parties to have just so we can hire him again!
HO-LY. SHIZ. Alex threw us the party of our dreams. Anytime people talk about our wedding they always bring up "the DJ." I honestly wouldn't bother looking into anybody else, sounds harsh, but I mean it. I think what makes him great is that his only "agenda" is to make sure the bride and groom are having a great time. I've been to weddings before where you could tell the DJ was choosing all the songs based on what the DJ likes... Alex used his DJ expertise to really clock the vibes of our guests and play to the crowd. He's so thorough in the planning process and gives you a timeline to fill out so everyone is on the same page. Going over the timeline together about a month before the wedding helped ensure no detail was overlooked as far as who needed mics and when, which parts of songs needed to be trimmed, lengthened, etc. He is just awesome and I wish he was in my family so that he'd be at every single event I ever go to. For real. Hire this dude.
DJ Alex Reed made our wedding the time of our lives! The dance floor was always occupied and his unique mixture of music made that happen!
He was able to read the room perfectly on what types of music to play and helped structure our reception and get the party going!
Would definitely recommend his services to make your wedding/event a complete success!
EXTREMELY professional, timely, and made us feel extremely comfortable on how the night should go. It is obvious he has been walking couples through this process and knows exactly what to look for. Most of all, he played the specific songs we asked for, but also had his own selection that was awesome! Definitely knows how to keep everyone on the dance floor until the lights come on!
CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH!!!
We cannot thank DJ Alex enough for the services he coordinated for us on our wedding day! Alex was unavailable for our original wedding date and our covid rescheduled date but he provided an excellent DJ for us. Alex was very quick to respond to emails and worked hard to find us a DJ when we had to reschedule. He also reached out to our venue site to ensure all equipment needs were taken care of. We never once had to worry about his services! I would highly recommend him or any of his associates!
Alex was SUPER easy and fun to work with leading up to the big day! Even when Covid had other plans, Alex was super flexible in helping us secure him on a new date!! He kept the dance floor lively and played all my recommendations! The photo booth was super fun and all my guests enjoyed the many filters and video options!
I cannot say enough good things!!!!
Thanks for making our day perfect!

The absolute best DJ for our wedding! He played the best songs- kept everyone partying & dancing all night! And everyone loved his amazing photobooth! Cannot recommend Alex enough!
Having Alex be the DJ at our wedding was a great decision! We had a comment from one of our friends that they had never been to a wedding where the dance floor was busy all night. He read the room and ages of our guests well and was able to play music accordingly. We had an uncle who changed out of his dress shoes into his Asics so he could keep dancing longer! I would definitely recommend DJ Alex Reed for future weddings!
DJ Alex Reed was everything we wanted and more! If you are looking for a DJ, you have found your guy! He is extremely organized, professional and a ton of fun. There's a reason he was named best DJ in KC last year! Thank Alex for making our night so special, even during these crazy times. If we're ever in need for a DJ in the future, we will definitely be giving you a call!
If you need a guy to keep the party going, Alex is your guy!! Despite having a smaller guest count due to COVID-19, Alex had the dance floor packed and going all night long! He was very helpful and chill when having our meeting (on the phone) to discuss timeline and songs. On the day of our wedding, Alex was able to with the flow and accommodate any changes we and our wedding coordinator asked. Seriously he helped set the fun, carefree atmosphere everyone needed during an uncertain time in the world! I would definitely hire Alex again!
From the first time we met Alex we knew he was the DJ for us and he sure didn’t disappoint! If you’re looking for a DJ, the list should start and end with Alex. He kept everyone entertained throughout the duration of our wedding/reception. We couldn’t be more happy to have had the opportunity to work with Alex throughout our wedding process!
Alex was hands down the best DJ for our wedding he played all of the songs we wanted and kept up to where everybody stayed on the dance floor throughout the night! He was such a professional but also fun guy to work with! We would recommend him for any event that requires an awesome DJ!!
