Tim was great, checked in with us the week of and was patient with us through the whole process. Was great the night of and kept the party going!
We cannot say enough amazing things about DJ Apollo! From our very first conversation, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely excited to be a part of our big day. He took the time to understand our music tastes, special requests, and the vibe we wanted—and he absolutely nailed it!
The energy throughout the night was electric. Every transition was seamless, every song perfectly timed, and the dance floor was never empty. Our guests are still raving about how fun the reception was, and we know that’s thanks in huge part to DJ Apollo’s incredible skill and instinct.
DJ Apollo also handled all the announcements and MC duties with such charm and ease, keeping everything on schedule without ever feeling intrusive. It was like having a close friend behind the booth who just happened to be a total pro. He made sure we were taken care of the entire night, bringing us food, drinks, and calming our nerves. He truly went above and beyond!
If you’re looking for a DJ who’s not only talented but also deeply passionate about making your event unforgettable, look no further. This was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you DJ Apollo!!
DJ Apollo was awesome! We had the best wedding reception ever and nobody left the dance floor. He had such great energy and made sure we felt happy and got what we wanted/needed. Highly recommend!
Working with Icon was amazing and DJ Kevin was the exact energy we needed on our wedding day. The whole process was seamless and Icon was fully transparent about what was offered in their packages. DJ Kevin was a delight, professional, and a lot of fun. He made a concerted effort to get to know us and our goals for our wedding ahead of time and executed everything perfectly.
We really enjoyed working with Grant (DJ Maverick) from Icon Event Group. Our whole experience with the company was pleasant, they had great add on/upgrade options for lighting or cold sparks etc. We had a great Zoom meeting with Grant 1-2 months before the wedding, and he was always very responsive to emails and song requests. I appreciated the company's use of an online portal to request songs and I liked being able to label song requests as "must play" or "do not play". Grant played all of our favorite requested songs, and added similar songs in as well and the dance floor was never empty. There was never silence between songs and everyone raved about how good the playlist was! They are not on the cheap side of things, but I think every vendor is expensive nowadays. Only complaint is the forms to fill out on the online portal had repetitive questions from one form to the other, so I think that could use some work, but this doesn't change my experience with the company at all and I would definitely recommend their use! A DJ can make or break a wedding, so I would not recommend DJ Maverick if I truly didn't think he did a great job!
Mike (DJ Apollo) was absolutely incredible! He perfectly captured the vibe of our wedding and kept the energy high! He took the time to understand our music preferences and seamlessly blended different genres to keep the party going. He helped turn our cocktail hour into a tribute to my late father. He also made our dream of a grand entrance to a game of Thunderstruck come true! He timed it perfectly and it was flawless! He checked in on us all night, gave great advice on timing, and even made sure our dinner was boxed up for us to enjoy later. We can’t say enough good things about Mike (DJ Apollo). Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!
We recently put Icon Event Group to the ultimate test at a wedding, and once again, they exceeded expectations. Having previously relied on them for their exceptional DJ services and stunning bar wraps, this time we turned to them for an extraordinary seating chart.
The couple had a very specific vision, and Icon was our go-to choice to bring it to life. Julia from Icon impressed us with her seamless communication and unmatched professionalism throughout the entire process. A special shoutout also goes to Beth, whose graphic design expertise truly brought the couple’s vision to reality—she absolutely nailed it.
The final result was nothing short of perfection. Icon Event Group once again proved why they’re the team we trust for delivering excellence, every single time.
We highly, highly, highly recommend Icon Event Group! Julia made the process so easy, and we felt like she truly was invested in getting to know us to match us with the perfect DJ. To say she succeeded would be an understatement. Julia assigned Kevin T to our wedding, and we’re so lucky she did! Kevin was so fantastic! We had some must play songs, but we didn’t provide much direction outside of that. However, despite our not being great clients, he kept the dance floor full all night. He was engaging, fun, and created the perfect environment. We’ve had many people tell us he was the best DJ they’ve ever heard, and we concur. Thank you, Julia and Kevin!!
Icon was a wonderful vendor from the start. They answered any questions we had and started the process of getting to know us as soon as we booked them.
They were in constant communication and did all the things we asked for.
DJ Maverick was an incredible MC. He was clear and spoke very eloquently. He followed our ideas/suggestions so well and had people on our dance floor all night long!
We have received so many compliments on how great our reception was and how much everyone wanted to be on the dance floor!
First off, Mike, AKA DJ Apollo made our day absolutely incredible! We wouldn’t have had the party we had without him. You can tell when you first meet him that this is his passion and he loves what he does. He really made us feel like family. He’s always available from the second you meet him to help answer questions and make your day go as smoothly as possible. He even brought us drinks to our table before the toasts (and made sure we drank some water lol). Dj Apollo was very helpful in helping us select songs for the big moments of our day, and he stuck to the vibe we were going for so well. He suggested a photo challenge where we run around to each table to take pictures with all of our friends and family, and our guests can’t stop talking about how fun it was. Now we will have those pictures with everyone who we love for the rest of our lives. We also did the private last dance to our first dance song (per his recommendation), and it truly was the perfect ending to a perfect day. We were able to breathe for a minute and get emotional together after everyone left and it’s a moment I will always cherish with my new husband.
We were absolutely thrilled to have DJ Apollo at our wedding and have his experience and expertise in helping us craft our timeline! He was so much fun to work with during the planning leading up to the event and even on the wedding day. His ability to direct us and keep us organized was truly impressive—everything flowed seamlessly. Not to mention, the dance floor was always packed and energized with excitement all night long! Many people came to us after and said we had one of the best entertainment.
What stood out most was his talent for blending in music from different cultures, specifically Lebanese and Brazilian music. This was something we asked of him, and his ability to switch between the two was nothing short of incredible. This added a special touch that both sides of our family appreciated and enjoyed immensely. DJ Apollo made our wedding unforgettable, and we can't recommend him highly enough!
DJ Apollo - WOW. We knew this was going to be a special day but DJ Apollo took it to the next level. We have heard from many family and friends that attended our wedding and they have said it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. Most of that credit goes to Icon and DJ Apollo for being absolutely incredible all night. Unfortunately we are only able to give five stars because they deserve more. DJ Apollo was entertainment, but also came over to check on us frequently throughout the night to see if we needed anything, and was absolutely spot on with timeline and ensuring everything went smoothly. If you are on the fence about who you want to hire to be your entertainment for the night, definitely go with Icon. Just incredible.
I cannot express how AMAZING it was to work with Icon Event Group. Dj Apollo is the BEST DJ we could’ve ever asked for. Such a rad dude with an amazing personality that can get any party poppin. Plus, he does more than just DJ. He helped with everything from timeline, checking on us throughout the night to make sure we were okay, helped our officiant, served us dinner, and so much more. He goes above and beyond to ensure your night is the best night of your life. HIRE THIS MAN RIGHT NOW. DO NOT HESITATE, YOU WILL NOT FIND ANYONE BETTER!!
Icon was amazing to work with for our large scale wedding. Ben went above & beyond by coming to the venue in the evening so that we could see the number of lights we needed for our space. Icon also provided our DJ who was the absolute best…kind, understood our vision, and created a perfectly curated evening! We could not be more happy with Icon. Thank you, Ben, Julia & Jayden!! We 🩷 you three!!!
What an amazing evening. Kevin Tylor from the Icon Group was our DJ and to say that he knocked it out of the park was an understatement. Every detail was done to perfection and the entire evening flowed perfectly. Kevin really got to know the bride and groom and what was important to them both. He really read the room and what struck me was how much he really cared about making the evening absolutely perfect for all. The dance floor was full the entire night. Can't thank Kevin of the Icon Group enough. Everything was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend.
We were fortunate enough to have DJ Swig as our wedding DJ and I could not recommend him more!! Our venue had a contract with Icon, so DJ services were included, but I would have booked him outside of that. He checked in on us multiple times leading up to our wedding day to see if we had any questions or concerns. Once the dance floor opened, not one guest was seated. Everyone was dancing and raving about the music/DJ!! I highly recommend booking through ICON for your wedding needs
DJ Kevin was unbelievable. We met with him for over an hour before the wedding and it was clear that he put so much thought and effort into getting to know us, our guests, and what we hoped for the wedding music. He was a fabulous emcee and kept our guests (of all ages!) on the dance floor all night. We were so lucky to have him and our guests have told us repeatedly how much they loved DJ Kevin.
We used ICON Event Group for our wedding on 10/19/2024. We worked with Cienna in the initial coordination meeting, and she was very professional and helpful. The meeting helped in the matching process with our DJ and we ended up getting the best DJ for the wedding vibe we were wanting. Logan was our DJ and from the first meeting with him, we could tell it was going to be a good fit. He was extremely professional and easy to work with in the madness of all of the other wedding planning. The day of Logan crushed it and used all of the information we provided as well as some great improvisation. Highly recommend this company and specifically Logan.
DJ Apollo was phenomenal. He kept our day fun and exciting. He was so helpful in so many ways, not just the DJ side of things. We got so many compliments on how fun our wedding was and we couldn’t have made that happen without him! Will he recommending him to anyone and everyone.
💚The Adlich
The DJ was phenomenal!!! DeAndre was professional, personable, kept everything on time and was just flat out awesome! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 🔥
DJ Apollo (Mike) was literally everything we could ask for in a DJ! From beginning to end he handled everything like the smazing man he is. Made sure we were fed and made sure our champagne glasses were filled for our cake cutting pictures! He kept our timeline going and kept everyone engaged. The only right choice is DJ Apollo. You won't be disappointed!
DJ Santo with Icon Event Group is amazing! He reached out to us early in the planing process after we booked icon for our wedding. He checked in on us in the months leading up, and was really helpful in the timeline planning for our reception! During the reception he personally released each table to go to the buffet line, and was extremely personable! In our meetings leading up to the wedding we talked about songs we liked/didn't like and he did such a great job DJ'ing from that! 10/10!
Icon was fabulous to work with! They are absolute professionals in every sense. Our DJ, Rey (Junior), was beyond compare... our reception was phenomenal because of him. He was a hit, and judging from the feedback I got from my guests, everyone thought so too! My husband and I had a choreographed first dance and were nervous about how it would unfold, but Rey set up calls with us to talk us through everything and made us feel so comfortable. We had hiccups with the sound system at our venue during our ceremony (the venue's fault), but Rey had a backup plan and immediately launched into action to make sure everything went smoothly afterward. We are so grateful to him for making our reception so special. HE IS THE BEST!
Working with Icon event group was one of the best decisions we could have made. Our DJ and Photo Booth were the highlight of our guests night. Junior was top tier in communication and so much fun throughout the night!
We had DJ Apollo for our wedding night, and he was absolutely incredible! From the start, he made us feel supported and he went above and beyond throughout the whole process and especially on our day! He was so attentive and made sure that our night went smoothly! He matched the energy and brought the party vibes out the entire night. He was already our favorite DJ from our first meeting, and I cannot imagine having a better DJ for our wedding. We cannot thank him enough for all he did for us, he made our night one to remember (even more so than it already was). We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a DJ, he will cater to anything and he is so fun to work with! Thank you thank you thank you!! :)
We chose Icon Event Group to provide DJ services for our wedding and we are so glad we did! We could not have ended up with a better DJ too! DJ Apollo is truly the best! From the very beginning of our meetings he was so organized and helped give us some ideas for both songs and some activities to get our guests on the dance floor. Our dance floor was not empty a single minute of the night! DJ Apollo truly caters to all ages & knew how to keep the party going all night! He was also so helpful with making sure our wedding day went extremely smooth! We got multiple compliments from our guests on DJ Apollo & we could not agree more! We were so lucky to have DJ Apollo as our DJ & couldn’t have been happier! We would recommend DJ Apollo 1000 times!
Icon Event Group made our wedding the best. Specifically, I cannot sing enough praises for our DJ, Kevin. Since we are not from KC and did all our planning over the phone/Zoom, he put our minds at ease going into our big day and did an amazing job at the wedding.
Ray did an amazing job at our wedding! We had a little bit of a mix up with the venue and our timeline was an hour behind, but Ray was able to get us back on track and helped us enjoy our night! We truly cannot say enough great things about him! Icon I general had great customer service! We truly loved working with them and made our night so special! Thank you!
100000/10 !! Amazing communication from the start. The venue we picked (28 Events) includes Icon Event Group in their package price and SO happy about that because they are truly the best! The sound system was stellar - didn’t echo/screech and was the perfect volume throughout the night! Our DJ was DeAndre Starr and he was so genuine and amazing! He helped us navigate our big night and executed everything perfectly. He even played a couple songs I requested last minute - bless him!!
DJ Apollo delivered an unforgettable performance at our wedding reception. His mixing skills were impeccable, seamlessly transitioning between genres. The energy in the room was electric as he blended classic anthems with fresh releases. Apollo’s stage presence was magnetic, engaging the audience with his enthusiasm. He had a remarkable ability to read the crowd, dropping tracks that kept everyone dancing. Highly recommend for a wedding reception!!
We were very pleased with ICON Event group. DeAndre Starr was our DJ and did an amazing job! He followed exactly the vibes that my husband and I requested and was great to work with. We would recommend DeAndre for anyone looking to have a party on wedding night!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! DJ Apollo (aka Mike) was INCREDIBLE! Our wedding went SO smoothly because of DJ Apollo. We didn’t have a wedding planner/coordinator, but luck for us, he knew how to run the show! He is great at leading a big group of people and struck a perfect balance between politeness and control. He was so kind to my husband and I the entire night and made sure we were having fun. Both my husband’s and my families were very impressed with DJ Apollo and his kindness, excited energy, and music selection. We had a multicultural wedding and he played a PERFECT mix of both types of songs we requested. He helped coordinate our grand entrance and organized a private last dance for my husband and I. It was so special. Our big day wouldn’t have been the same without him.
DJ Apollo was great from the first time we met to the day of the wedding. He takes the time to plan the wedding according to your wishes and has plenty of good input from his years of experience. Not only did he play great music but he was willing to lend a hand and help where needed, whether it was delivering drinks or helping pick up throughout the event. His ability to put a detailed timeline into action with no complications was impressive. Would highly recommend for those looking for a DJ.
Absolutely amazing service! From the first initial zoom meeting with our Dj, Jayden, we felt truly taken care of! Jayden was able to cater to our very wide music selections as well as mixing and transitioning all of them himself. We probably had 50 people make comments about how amazing our DJ was and how he was the best they've ever heard. it made our night that much better knowing we were taken care of on that end and everyone was able to dance and have fun for hours. Outside of the music itself, Jayden had top notch equipment and professional sound. He was very punctual and made sure everything was in order, we had zero issues with any equipment failure. 10/10 recommend Icon event group for all of our DJ needs!!!!
Would have loved a little more freedom for guest to request songs, this could have been an oversight on our end. Overall great experience and great vibe the entire night. Our DJ Junior can throw a party.
DJ Apollo was fantastic from start to finish. He took time to personalize our day and get to know us. He asked questions and incorporated everything we asked. The dance floor was full the whole night and we got numerous compliments on the DJ. This was one of our most important vendors and he did not disappoint! Thank you DJ Apollo!
Easily a five star experience. We had DJ Junior at our wedding, and he was awesome! They have a great website/system for organizing specific songs and requests ahead of time, and a do-not-play list so you don't hear songs you hate on your big day. DJ Junior was so fun to work with - it literally felt like we were friends, so communicating with him about things we wanted/didn't want was so easy. He had the dancefloor popping ALL night. Highly recommend!
We had DJ Apollo and the photo booth provided by icon event group through our venue. Leading up the the day it was incredibly easy to communicate with their team and DJ Apollo through email and text. Any questions we had were promptly answered within 24-48 hours if not sooner.
The day of the event DJ Apollo made sure everything went off without a hitch even with last minute changes he was flexible and was ready to help out in any way he could. He was able to curate to the more traditional sides of our wedding and when it was time to party he mixed the music that each of us requested and made it into one.
If you are looking for a DJ then look no further than DJ Apollo
We got DJ Apollo for our DJ and we could not have been any happier! He truly made me and my husband feel seen and did everything we asked. Having a Vietnamese wedding is a lot of extra steps and DJ Apollo was there for all of it and worked with us. He was always available when we needed him. He was a great mixer and we had chose some songs that we loved but was a bit slow, but he mixed it to match our hype energy! Would use him a thousand times over! <3
DJ Apollo was the DJ at our wedding last weekend and he was absolutely incredible! Every single guest no matter what age was on the dance floor having the time of their lives! Mike was so professional, organized and extremely patient with my husband and I when it came to us picking music for our special day! We couldn’t have had a more magical night and DJ Apollo was a massive part of bringing everything together! We loved working with him and will be recommending him to family and friends!!
I was worried about how the dynamic between my husband's family and my family would be when it came to our wedding music/dancing. Tim from Icon did a fantastic job with managing the timeline and combining different tastes in music to create an atmosphere of fun and excitement for both families. Everyone I have talked to has said how much fun they had at our wedding. I attribute much of that to our DJ Tim!
If you’re looking for a DJ for a special event this is the place! I looked at several different companies for a DJ for our wedding and Icon was the only place that I got a good feeling from! DJ Kevin was our DJ and he did an amazing job! From the beginning when we had our meeting I knew we were in good hands and he genuinely cared to make our special day go accordingly. We truly appreciated it!
We worked with Icon Event Group to hire our wedding DJ and entertainment. We were assigned to work with DeAndre and it was a delight!
DeAndre was passionate about making our vision for the perfect wedding come to life! He walked us through all the steps of the ceremony and reception and helped us plan music accordingly! He was also helpful about keeping us on track for the reception which was super helpful!
We had a great party with all of our guests and had an amazing dance floor all night!
Highly recommend working with Icon for your next party!
If I could give a 10/5 star review I would!! DJ Apollo is amazing! He takes his job so seriously and truly knows how to work the reception. He incorporates unique ideas to get everyone involved and make for a great time. So many people came up to me afterwards and said that it was the best reception they had ever been to. I 10000% recommend DJ Apollo as your wedding reception DJ. Amazing!!! Wish I could do it all again!
DJ Apollo is absolutely incredible and was so easy to work with from day 1. He brings an amazing energy to the planning process, that directly translates to the reception itself! I have never heard so many people during / after a wedding reception compliment a DJ as much as I have heard over the last couple days about Apollo.
he had all of the ideas ready to give us, making the decision making process very easy. His strategy of engaging guests in the early portions of the reception made it easy for everybody to have fun and want to come to the dance floor after toasts / dinner.
One of our favorite moments of the night was the photo challenge, in which Maddie & I had 3 minutes to run to every table and our photographer taking a photo of us two with each table. This was awesome to ensure we have a lasting memory with each and every guest who helped celebrate our big day. We can’t wait to see how they turned out!
We would recommend his DJ services to anybody and any party. He truly takes everything you’d like to hear, see, and do, and brings it to life. Thanks again, you were awesome!
DJ APOLLO IS THE BEST DJ YOU CAN HAVE WITH YOU! He is absolutely incredible at what he does but also extremely kind to work with. I put this man through the wringer with some of the ideas I had for my wedding and he was with me every step of the way. Playing a specific 20 clip of different songs for each wedding party member to walk out to? Easy for him. Cutting the father/daughter dance song down but to only the beginning and end of the song? No problem for DJ Apollo. Running the entire day so smoothly that the bride and groom get to truly enjoy a party with all of their loved ones? DJ Apollo did that. If you are lucky enough to have DJ Apollo with you, it will be one of the best things you did. He made me feel so at ease knowing most of the day was in his hands. He really takes on all of your wedding day stress, and turns it into the best celebration you can imagine. He knows his music and is able to tune in to every moment (and give suggestions if you’re unsure!) and make it memorable. You cannot go wrong with DJ Apollo. Thank you a thousand times for making our wedding day more than we could imagine!
Our DJ was great. We had several meetings prior to the event to understand timing, music selection and they made it so easy. Our day was perfect and ran so smoothly. The DJ helped make announcements and made sure important events were called out and we ironed all of it out ahead of time.
Apollo was the best. He took care of everything and kept your wedding entertainment. I was stressed out about our wedding but after I met him, everything seemed so easy. I would highly recommended Icon and my favorite DJ
DJ Apollo was the best DJ would could have asked for for our wedding. He was very through when it came to planning, and easy to work with. He had great insight when it came to the timeline of our reception and was able to help us make decisions. DJ Apollo truly made our wedding the best night ever.
I love their service. Apollo is the best, he is very responsible. He took care of everything on your big day. Provide him details and he will make your day perfect.
DJ Apollo with Icon Events Group was amazing! He helped us from the start until the very end of our wedding. We had a great time meeting with him online to discuss what we music and vibes we wanted during our cocktail hour and reception. He had a set plan ready to go from the very beginning and was willing to work with us on any suggestions or changes we had. He even helped get us drinks and clean up at our reception! We would recommend DJ Apollo and Icon Events Group to any of our friends or families members that need a fun and energized DJ. It all went very smoothly and we couldn’t be happier with our big day!
Very professional and easy to communicate with! Was just as excited about our big day as we were, wanted to make it very special for us!
Tim was absolutely amazing. We met over FaceTime twice before the big day and he took all of our requests and made my dreams possible!! At the event the music was great, on time and faded at the perfect time too. He did great speaking with guests, calling names and even individually released guests HIMSELF for dinner! He was so polite and the entire icon event team was great. Definitely recommend them!!
Our DJ was awesome- he was so good at communicating with us and did everything we asked and then some!
DJ Apollo with Icon Event Group was INCREDIBLE!! He met with us a couple times in advance to plan (and would have been readily available had we requested more meetings or had any more questions at all), and it was immediately clear that he loves what he does and puts 150% effort into making your wedding the smoothest and best day ever. We did not have a wedding planner or much prior experience with weddings, so we had a handful of questions, and DJ Apollo goes above and beyond from his role as DJ, and helps to create a day of schedule and answer any and all questions based on his many many years of experience. He kept the dance floor lively the entire night and made sure both of us had everything we needed throughout the night. We received so many compliments from our friends and family and would recommend him in a heartbeat!!!!! Seriously awesome!
DJ Daz was so professional and was a great help! He was very organized and was great at getting the party started! His enthusiasm was appreciated and he kept the party going all night!
WOW, I love this vendor. We had an amazing time working with them! Julia called and gathered details once we'd booked, and she was so responsive and fun to work with. Closer to the date we got in contact with DeAndre, and working with him was a breeze! He helped explain things, gave thoughtful and helpful advice, and had everything set up so that day-of was flawless. We had the best time, and the music was amazing. I'm so grateful for finding him and the ICON team! Truly the breeziest part of my wedding day.
We had DJ Apollo with ICON group, and we couldn’t have done it without him! As soon as we met with him he helped us set up a game plan with a timeline for our whole wedding. He was quick to respond with all of our questions. There’s no doubt he knows what he’s doing!! Truly phenomenal at what he does and you can tell he takes great pride in it! The most compliments we got about our wedding was the music! Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ, so glad we used him!!!
Thank you to ICON & DJ Daz-One for making our reception so fun for us & our guests! Our dance floor was full the whole night & he did a great job mixing his own songs with requests from us & our quests. We could not recommend ICON or DJ Daz-One more!
My wife and I got lucky enough to have DJ Apollo for our wedding. From start to finish, he was a God send to put it lightly. There were multiple meetings leading up to, we had easy contact if needed, and the support he showed on the day of the event was next to none. Couldn’t have been more happy to have such a wonderful entertainer and individual lead us through the evening. Highly, highly recommend for any and all events!
