Our wedding was back on October 12th of 2024. Leroy was our DJ for the special day and I couldn't of asked for a better person! He did everything we asked and so much more. We had so many guest compliment on how the good DJ was and how he made the night fun for everyone. Thank you a ton Leroy!!
Our DJ, Dana, was so wonderful to work with! During our meeting to review our song selections, he really took the time to get to know us and helped us make song selections for activities we didn’t even think about (bouquet/garter toss). He was so attentive the day of the wedding and made sure the music/announcements happened at the right time. Even as we got a little behind schedule he was able to keep the night going smoothly. We also loved that he was so energetic and engaging with the guests. I wanted to play a song to honor my mom who had passed but didn’t know how to incorporate it as it wasn’t a typical dance song, and he went above and beyond to make it happen. It was a very sweet gesture and we’re so glad he was our DJ.
My husband and I booked Midwest Sound for our wedding. Our DJ was Steve and he was fantastic to work with! All of the specialty dances went so smoothly and the grand entrance was great! He knew how to keep the party going and we're so grateful to Steve for ensuring we had the best day ever.
Any questions?
Midwest Sound made our wedding day truly amazing! From the minute we first started working them through the wedding day was great! The communication we had with Sarah was great. She was very responsive, and willing to work with whatever we needed. If she didn't have the answer she made sure we worked with the person who could help us! The music director helped with our grand march that went off without a hitch! It was exactly what we had in mind! Coty our incredible DJ executed our day perfectly! I explained our vision and he delivered! He can read the room and make sure everyone is dancing and having a great time! He even got in on the fun and utilized our dance floor props we had! I would recommend them again and again for any event! Everyone was so great to work with!
We found this vendor on the knot as well as it was recommended from our venue. I could not recommend more. We loved every step with them. All the staff and each member we worked with was amazing, friendly, and so helpful. Our day off DJ was Alexis and it was amazing! She hit everything we needed and more. Worked around things that went wrong from things out of her control and was with us every step of the way! If you are looking for a DJ look no further! Good pricing also!
We had Disco Joe as our DJ for our wedding and he was amazing. The guy was very receptive to the bride and groom's requests, but also came with an amazing set list of his own. Not only did he have a great playlist, he did an amazing job of playing music based on the vibe of the room. The guy could get the people out of the seats dancing, knew when to speed up or slow down the pace, and ultimately created an amazing atmosphere. I would recommend him for any and all events.
I highly recommend Midwest Sound as a wedding DJ. Sarah, the administrator, was extremely communicative and responsive from Day 1. We were very pleased with the price. The planning portal to enter in your song requests was super easy to use! We also rented a projector for our monogram from them and it was perfect!
Our DJ on 10/11/24 was Asher and WOW did he make our wedding SO FUN! We cannot thank him enough for his energy, for dancing with us, playing all of our favorite songs, and letting our guests let loose. He was so engaged the whole night and always making sure we were happy! Ask for DJ Asher!!!!
Isaac was fantastic! helping when needed and keeping the night moving!
I got married 2 weeks ago and had Midwest Sound for our DJ! Sarah was so helpful in getting everything set up! Her communication level is sure to help ease any anxious planners' minds. We had Niyah as our DJ for the night and she was awesome! She ensured all of our special requests were honored and kept the fun going for our guests. Niyah is so nice and personable too!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Midwest Sound. Their customer service is truly exceptional, and they are incredibly responsive to any inquiries or questions. We were fortunate to have Anthony as our DJ, and he was simply outstanding. His friendly and approachable demeanor made him a perfect fit for our event. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
We had an amazing experience working with Midwest Sound for our October wedding in Madison! They provided such great communication throughout the entire process and DJ Joe absolutely crushed it for our wedding day! He made sure our dance floor was packed the entire night and brought fantastic energy for the entire day! Midwest Sound also offers great pricing compared to other companies we looked at.
DJ Coty & Midwest Sound were phenomenal. Music & dancing was really important to us as a couple (especially me as the bride, dancing is my favorite thing to do!!) so who we chose for our dj at our wedding was very important to us. From initial inquiry to the week of, Sarah’s communication could not have been better. As a bride, this is so important in alleviating additional stress! They have an extensive portal to fill out and ensure they capture all your “likes & dislikes”. We had so much fun doing this - we had family over for dinner & drinks & all picked songs we wanted.
We got paired with DJ Coty - I could tell from our phone call the week of the wedding this guy knew what he was doing. He asked a lot of questions (head table dismissal, shuttle announcements) that I would have never thought of which was so appreciated to have those details taken care of. He was incredibly easy to work with & coordinated everything with my day of coordinator seamlessly. He’s a laid back guy which was a really nice energy to have for the crazy hustle & bustle of a wedding day! He executed ceremony songs, spotlight dances, etc seamlessly. We requested some house music at the end of the night for my husband and his friends LOVED it! He curated his play list to what we wanted as a couple and everyone had a blast!
We were very impressed with the professionalism and talent of our DJ. Midwest Sound took the time to get to know us and match us with the best DJ. Our dance floor was never empty!
From beginning to end, everyone with Midwest Sound was excellent. They took the time to get to know us as a couple, and our expectation for our big day! Tim Wilson was our DJ and played everything we asked him to. Our families enjoyed dancing off their dinner! Highly recommend!
We could not have been more pleased with our DJ experience for our wedding! Midwest Sound was very organized and easy to work with, from their online portal, DJ-matching process, and preparation. We had full control over the experience and songs we wanted, great value for the cost. Our DJ, Joe, was excellent as an active listener and managing the entertainment the whole night. I'm biased since it was my own wedding, but that was the most consistently active dance floor for the full night that I've been a part of. 10/10!
We used Midwest Sound after hearing about them on the Knot and our friends used them for their wedding and we loved them. They have been super easy to work with and very friendly. We absolutely loved our DJ, Asher! He was so fun to work with, he kept our dance floor full and even came out on the dance floor a few times which was awesome. We had multiple guests tell us how awesome our DJ was. I would highly recommend using Midwest DJ.
We got married on 8/24/24 and we had the most amazing experience with Midwest Sound DJ. From the start, they had amazing communication and kept us in the loop throughout the entire planning process. We had DJ Sarah B and she was AMAZING! She kept us on time throughout the whole night and made sure everything went smoothly. She kept the dance floor alive and everyone had such a great time. We couldn't be happier or more grateful to have had her as our DJ! Overall, I would recommend Midwest Sound DJ to everyone!!
Justin was FANTASTIC!!!!! Took extra time to go over what we wanted to hear and how we wanted to hear it. Did some magic with our processional and put up with our particular requests throughout the day. The group he works with has been accommodating and very friendly and we couldn't have asked for better set up for our wedding!!!!
We got married on 8/3 and my husband and I are still talking about how great DJ Joe was! Midwest sound sincerely matched us with the perfect DJ. He was communicative, friendly and got our crowd to have the best night. He’s great at mashing up songs and made the end of the evening a “club style”. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience. The photobooth was also awesome. Our guests loved this part and the photo album was available within a few days of the wedding. Overall, this DJ/photobooth service is 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost of other DJs I looked at. It’s a stellar bang for your buck.
We hired Midwest sound and DJ Joe for our wedding on 07/27/2024 for the Wisconsin Club. He was fantastic. From start to finish, the team at Midwest Sound have it down. When we started the process, they were very informative of the steps and processes that would happen prior to our special day. Prior to the day, we made sure to be descriptive and add tons of songs to the play/do not play list and DJ Joe was great at mixing in some slow/fast songs throughout the night. He was a great MC all night. He did a great job of introducing the bridal party and coordinating the entire night from a music stand point, as well as working with the Wisconsin Club staff. We had a choreographed song and dance for all first dances, and DJ Joe did a great job of coordinating that with the photographers and videographers. I would highly recommend DJ Joe and Midwest Sound to anyone looking for a DJ. Great price point, great quality, and professional staff all around.
DJ Steve was awesome! Everyone loved him and had nothing but great things to say about him and how great of a DJ he was! DJ Steve is very thoughtful and he took the time to plan with us and ensure that everything we had envisioned for our wedding would happen. Midwest Sound had communicated quickly and frequently with us which made us feel very cared for and comfortable, and incredibly happy with our decision! Great option for couples who have a stricter budget for their wedding. If you have the chance to work with Midwest Sound, and DJ Steve, know that you are in good hands and your day will turn out just as you'd hope! Thank you so much to DJ Steve and other staff at Midwest Sound who made our special day absolutely perfect.
Disco Joe. What can I say…he is the guy! You set him up and forget it. Self driven, organized, and easy going. His personality is perfect for our 250 person venue every year. He is able to vary the show with a variety of personalities that show up each year. His willingness to help and listening ear make him a top choice in our book. If you choose Disco Joe you will be very happy.
We got married on 7/6/2024. DJ Bradley was amazing. We threw this wedding together fairly fast and everything came together perfectly for our day. DJ Bradley was instrumental in the success. Not only was the music perfect for our occasion but he helped keep things moving on schedule and was a delight to work with. We had hopes of this level of professionalism and it was delivered. Thank You Midwest Sound and Brad!
I don't like leaving negative reviews but, unfortunately, the DJ/sound was the worst part of our wedding, so we felt the need to warn others. We opted for ceremony and dancing music services, and we were underwhelmed with both. For starters, the microphone didn't work during the ceremony and the DJ was having equipment issues so we didn't get music during our cocktail hour and dinner. The DJ did call their supervisor who brought out new equipment which we appreciate, but the issues did cut into the time slot we paid for.
We also felt that the DJ was inexperienced. All of the songs played were provided well before the wedding, yet there was no mixing and the flow between songs made little sense. Each song was played from start to finish with a couple seconds of silence before a new one would play, often with a very different mood/tempo. The DJ also came up to us to tell us that they were going to run out of songs, which felt unprofessional, especially since we were originally told our setlist was plenty to work with and had a lot of songs. A better DJ would've been able to fill the time with similar songs, instead, we ended up opening it up to requests, which we initially didn't want to do. We could've just paid for a nice speaker and made our own Spotify playlist for a better experience.
We hired Midwest Sound for our wedding on 6/29/24. It was all a very smooth process! We met with the manager upon booking to discuss what we’d like. They had an easy to access portal and gave us dates of when we needed to have songs filled out by. All very easy and no issues!
Our DJ for the night was Leroy. We met with him virtually on the week of our wedding to go over details. He did such a great job and was extremely personable to work with! During our ceremony processional he played all of the correct songs as discussed and timed everything well! He played all of the recommended songs we asked for and listened to our requests but also read the audience well to adapt the music. Our guests had such a great time and so did we!! It was the greatest night. He also left us a nice card after the reception ended. Would recommend Midwest Sound/Leroy going forward to others :)
DJ Nick was amazing! Our dance floor was filled the whole night! Communication was good and Nick is very talented. So happy we went with Midwest Sound!
Sam was a great DJ! They were very quick to respond to my inquiry and have so many add-ons to make your day exactly how you want it.
DJ Joe was awesome - he was amazing at mashing up different songs; which is exactly what we wanted! We had an amazing time and the dance floor was full all night! I found the client portal easy to use and intuitive. Sarah was available for any questions or concerns leading up to the wedding.
DJ T.Y. KILLED IT!! I met DJ T.Y. at a wedding expo and knew right out of the gate that he was the vibe we needed our wedding day and let me tell you he did not disappoint! Before diving into T.Y.’s hype vibes, I want to say how amazed we were with the communication from Midwest Sounds. They were extremely on top of all of their communication and were so unbelievably friendly! We were so impressed with them. Now, the day of the wedding, T.Y. absolutely killed it. He brought high energy, a litty playlist, and did such an excellent job capturing my and my (now) husbands vibes! We wanted to get him out on the dance floor with us that’s how spot on his energy matched our crowd! Aside from that though, he followed our timeline perfectly, communicated with us a ton before and on the big day, and made sure to check in with us throughout the evening. He was so sweet and such a pleasure to work with. We would honestly get T.Y. for absolutely any event, he’s the best for real for real!
We had Midwest Sound for our wedding in June 2024 and had a great experience with them. From the beginning working with the staff in office to working with our assigned DJ, everyone was professional, clear and concise. We had Disco Joe and I’d highly recommend asking for him by name. We requested Forever by Chris Brown for our grand march and he had a unique mashup made just for us! Very accommodating - great to work with day of wedding- 10/10! Thanks Disco Joe!
There was a brief misunderstanding at the beginning of the reception as to what we expected our DJ to play, but once we got it figured out, the dance was super fun! He also did super well with ceremony music as I had music cues.
They have a great customer portal which made it super easy to select songs and basically plan out the ceremony and reception! Always responded on time. Our DJ called in sick and they sent in a replacement and he was able to sub in without any problems! They were always accommodating to switching up the schedule last minute and reading the vibe in the room. I highly, highly recommend
We were so pleased with our DJ. Our DJ was assigned to us via our responses to a questionnaire. We are SO thankful that we got assigned "Disco Joe" -- he was so professional, was assertive when needed, was flexible, and got people out on the dance floor. My husband and I just let him do his thing and our guests were so impressed! Thank you again!!!
Unfortunately I did not have the best service with MS. The communication was great and I was not worried at all; however in the end, we had multiple songs played incorrectly for the ceremony and the grand march. The dance portion did not go well either. The DJ did not read the crowd and would not play requested songs. I did have a conversation with them after and was given a very very small discount, but in the end that doesn't make up for the once in a lifetime event that I can't get back. I also did not find out about the requested songs until after my conversation with them. Had I known, I would have actually asked for a refund. It's unfortunate because their customer service leading up made me really think I had nothing to worry about. It seems to be run by lovely people, but sadly I would not recommend using them for your wedding.
We hired Midwest Sound to DJ our wedding this past May. Our DJ was Dana James and he was amazing! He came with a great energy and kept it all night long. He checked in with my and my husband multiple times throughout the night to make sure we were hearing the songs we wanted to hear, see if there was anything else we wanted him to play, and make sure the night was going well for us. We also got our photobooth through Midwest Sound and it was a hit!
Joe was AMAZING to work with! My husband and I are both super nerdy, met at a RenFaire, wanted to do a sword fight as part of our first dance, etc. Joe was super helpful with filling in the little details for music and in helping to set the tone for the day! Everyone I've talked to has told me they had so much fun! We were also completely surprised by a friend bringing us lightsabers, but Joe was on top of getting us Duel of Fates on the fly so we could properly break them in! He was so much fun and so easy to work with! I would absolutely recommend him and Midwest Sound! This was hands down one of the best decisions we made!
Communication and professionalism from the office staff was great, but when it came to the dj themselves it was a disaster. I’m pretty sure there was no sound check that was done because we couldn’t hear her what so ever. She didn’t wait for the whole wedding party to start the grand march so that fell apart rather quickly. I asked for a dj who was enthusiastic and would engage with the crowd… she sat and played on her iPad the whole time. At one point we had 3 slow songs in a row. As someone who loves to have fun and dance all I can say is I am extremely disappointed in the way my wedding music went.
We had DJ Nick Anthony and he was AMAZING!! He was so friendly and professional, he made it an incredible reception and the dance floor was packed!! Highly recommend Nick!!
Kody from Midwest Sound was awesome for our wedding! He made sure everything was prepared and ran smoothly. We had an extensive playlist of music ourselves and he followed and found similar music to fill in and always kept the dance floor going. Kody did all the little things right, worked well with the venue and other vendors and made our day so special! We would HIGHLY recommend Midwest Sound and Kody specifically to everyone!
Justin was the best DJ ever!! We were thrilled with all things DJ related at our wedding from music to engaging the crowd for games and other events going on throughout the night. The ceremony to the dance party and everything in between he played exactly what we wanted. I have never seen so many people on the dance floor all night long and we had a very specific request for music. We wanted Latin Club vibes with some Country tunes and Justin was able to make it work so both sides of our families were able to dance and have a great time. Everyone we worked with at Midwest Sound was very helpful and the portal that they use is very user friendly! We were recently at another wedding with Justin as the couples DJ and he knocked it out of the park again. Highly highly recommend!!!
Michael B was so attentive and everything went according to plan including my ceremony which included 3 different songs for different people walking down the aisle. He kept everyone on the dance floor and was so helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend them! Also, leading up to our day they were very responsive and the online planning portal is soooo nice!
Tim C was the BEST DJ we could of asked for. Handled our wedding PERFECTLY on 3/30/2024 at The Eloise, Not a single complaint I can think of. Would HIGHLY recommend there DJ service for any event you need!
They were easy to work with and brought quality equipment. Our DJ did not seem like the right person for the job. We requested changes throughout the night that were pretty much ignored. Timing for events throughout the night were weird. Thought we were getting a DJ based off our survey we filled out, but got the exact opposite of our request. We wanted someone who would entertain and interact with the crowd. We got someone who was really quite and reserved, mostly there to the press the buttons. Not a bad experience, but felt underwhelming.
We were so happy with the music at our wedding! From set up to take down Amanda was amazing! She did an excellent job with gorgeous music for our ceremony, good vibes at cocktail hour, a fun grand march, and a perfect dance party! Everyone we worked with at Midwest Sound was super helpful and kind! We were thrilled to be paired with Amanda as she kept everything easy for us and let our wedding be worry free!! Highly highly recommend!!!
We had Mike for our DJ and he was amazing! The planning process leading up to the wedding went so smoothly. The entire night was so fun and Mike did such a great job hyping everyone up and making sure requests went with the vibes. They also had a photo booth available to rent which was so much fun and everyone had a blast with it. 10/10 would recommend!!
My name is Andy and we got married in January 2024 in Dousman. Our DJ, Disco Joe was punctual, arriving early to set up lighting and a projector. He played plenty of classic hit music of different genres to keep the dancefloor moving throughout the evening. He was also helping me make sure the program at the reception ran smoothly since we did not hire a wedding planner to keep things on schedule, He was professional and seemed genuinely happy for us on our wedding day. I would recommend Disco Joe to others getting married.
Midwest Sound was an excellent company to work with. Leading up to the big day, their staff was extremely helpful in keeping us organized and asking the right questions to make sure every detail was accounted for. On the big day, DJ TY was a fantastic addition to our group. The DJ is always my favorite part of a wedding and he met all my expectations. He did an amazing job at keeping the party going and adapting when needed. Our guests were on the dance floor all night. In addition to his DJ skills, his involvement to keep the guests informed and provide them direction was so helpful. We are so grateful to have had such a great DJ as a part of our day.
DJ Tim Cornell was wonderful! So attentive and organized. Friendly, positive, and awesome to work with. You can tell he has a passion for what he does. He had wonderful energy, was a great communicator and entertainer, and had a wonderful, energetic playlist our guests raved about, while allowing our guests to request songs that enhanced his playlist. Midwest Sound as a company is also very organized, has friendly, attentive staff, and is all around great to work with. All staff helped make our day so magical and fun! We could not recommend DJ Tim and Midwest Sound enough for your wedding or event! Thank you so much! - The Pogos
We loved working with Midwest Sound and their whole team during our planning. They were affordable and so kind. We ended up having DJ Nick Anthony and we loved him! He played songs we wanted, was flexible with the night, and kept the dance floor moving. We wanted someone who pays attention to the crowd and he was it.
Midwest Sound was so great to work with!!! All of my interactions with them were always so professional and positive! They made everything so easy and the portal was easy to fill out. DJ TY was the absolute best. I loved working with him! He definitely brought the energy!
Grace was THE BEST DJ!!! 10/10 recommend her for your big day! Communication with Midwest was great and their portal was very easy to use!
Midwest Sound was affordable and great to work with. Their communication with us was consistent leading up to the big day and their online portal was easy to use. The photo booth was also a lot of fun at our wedding.
DJ TY was the GOAT! Got so many compliments from my guests about how great he was for our wedding. He understood the assignment!
Joseph was LITERALLY the best DJ ever. He went above and beyond to make sure the requested songs were played, he kept the evening moving, and checked in with us several times to ensure things were meeting our expectations. We cannot recommend him enough. Our evening went PERFECTLY. We are so happy and loved working with him! Such a kind and funny person as well!
Alexis was such a fantastic DJ. She kept people on the dance floor and helped to move along the reception in a seamless way. We were so appreciative of her on our big day! Would highly recommend Midwest because it was super affordable too!
Midwest Sound sent DJ Molly and DJ Danny to host our wedding ceremony and reception. I cannot say enough good things about these two! Everything went absolutely perfect. From seamlessly transitioning the songs during the ceremony to making sure all of the equipment was functioning properly to putting on the best dance ever! I keep getting compliments from our guests saying that it was one of the best dances they've been to in a long time. Molly and Danny kept to the timeline and were flexible with last minute changes. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! Thank you for making our day so special!
Cassidy & Michael
Amazing service all around!
In the months ahead of the wedding, Sarah was super helpful, very responsive and answered all our questions. They also quickly help us with last minute changes without any hesitation which we greatly appreciated.
On the day of the wedding, Asher was our DJ and he did an awesome job! He had everyone dancing all night, was super involved, charismatic, great energy, helpful and we recommend him 100%. Thank you!
We loved our DJ from Midwest Sound! Disco Joe was amazing!! He blew our expectations out of the water! When we described to him the vibe we wanted for the night, he not only listened, but went above and beyond! We were a little hesitant about not meeting our DJ until 1-2 weeks before our wedding, but I wouldn’t change a thing! Highly recommend Disco Joe!!
We had a wonderful time with our DJ at our wedding! They were so easy to work with. They gave you deadlines and plenty of time to complete them. You are able to pay as much or as little you want until your event. Everyone loved the uplighting and photo booth!
Professionalism and communication was fine, the ceremony and dinner and first dances were great! The only problem I had was that I had specifically asked our DJ to play songs to set the party vibe we wanted and I feel like that expectation was not met at all. I work in the wedding industry so I knew what I wanted and how most DJ's operate in terms of continuing to play songs of a certain type to keep people on the dance floor and changing it up when people aren't dancing or leave the dance floor. He also played all the line dance songs back to back (cupid shuffle, then the cha cha slide ect.) So while everyone was on the dance floor for like 15-20 minutes we were all exhausted and after that no one felt the need to return to the dance floor. Now while all this may have been fine and I wouldn't have cared if I didn't request any specific type of music to be played that wasn't the case. In all honesty, looking back this was and still is the thing that bothers me the most about our wedding day.
Midwest Sound provided our DJ services for our 09/23/33 wedding. They were fantastic and the easiest vendor to work with. They are very organized and have a great system for helping folks plan their music and dj services for the wedding. They were ALWAYS available and responsive when we had questions or needed help. The day of we had DJ Michael B for our wedding and I can not recommend him enough. He kept everything flowing and organized and folks were always on the dance floor. Thank you Midwest Sound for being so totally awesome! We would recommend you to anyone planning a wedding.
Our DJ, Joe, was delightful, he kept the mood up and played exactly the style of songs we liked.
We are SO pleased with Midwest sound!! It's a little risky to not be able to meet your DJ until the week before the wedding. HOWEVER, knowing there's a back up plan to the back up plan and having extremely good communication from a TEAM of people for the whole planning process was fabulous!
While looking a DJ we had interviewed another company that we did NOT click with. So I asked what happened if we met the DJ and it just wasn't what we wanted. The team told us that a) that's almost never happened and b) if it did, they would happily switch the DJ out to make it right.
We got paired with Justin. And I honestly didn't have high hopes or expectations for a DJ. But Justin BLEW it out of the water! He was so responsive the week before when I had quick questions and even the MORNING of when I asked him if he could play a recording of my husbands grandparents doing a reading. He made it happen! It was one of the highlights of the day and the fact that he was able to pivot last second, was incredible.
Not only that, but we had people on the dance floor - LOTS of people - until the last minute. I've never seen that many people still dancing that late and many of our guests commented the same thing.
Parts of our wedding were a little non-traditional (we did a Rover Toss for national dog day!) and Justin was fabulous at pumping people up and getting them engaged!
We were SO happy with Justin that not only did we tip him the night of, we actually contacted him again the next day to tip him MORE bc we were so pleased!
Midwest sound was super easy to work with! The price was very fair. And we had the best DJ! Though you can't reserve a DJ, you can request one (no guarantees) and I HIGHLY suggest you request Justin!!
Our DJ Nick A was absolutely hands down the best addition to our wedding day! He made sure our ceremony was all set, our reception dance floor was lit all night! I can’t thank this company enough! Sarah checked in weekly leading up to our big day! 100% recommend them for your wedding day!
Heard about Midwest Sound through a fb group for brides. Knew nothing about planning a wedding so I was completely lost on where to begin planning. It was everything I expected, no surprises. They were even running an end of the year deal when I booked! We were matched with disco Joe. I never made any selections in my must play or no play list (probably not the nicest thing to do to your DJ) but he did great the whole time playing what the people wanted. Very professional and responsive to texts and changes to the ceremony even the morning of the wedding! Thank you guys so much!
The Midwest Sound team was amazing to work with! The portal they have is super easy to navigate and use! It gave our DJ an insight on specific details before getting in touch with us! Tony was absolutely amazing to work with! He is excellent at what he does and made our wedding day music go very smooth! He touched base with us before the wedding to get the details of the day and took the anxiety away! We would recommend them to anyone wanting a smooth wedding day!
We communicated all the details of our wedding music with Tony with very specific instructions. Yet, he had to ask right when the bride and groom arrived to the reception to review everything they had already reviewed over the phone, before they even made their entrance. So the bride and groom were in a conversation with him while everyone stared. He played songs from our do not play list and took a request for an inappropriate song from a guest. However, when the mother and father of the bride had pre requested a song to dance to, it took him three asks from the mother at the wedding for him to play it for their special moment. He was kind, but had no idea what was going on and it was very stressful and upsetting. What upset me the most was the polka music he played at cocktail hour that was specifically supposed to be French and Spanish jazz with features from Old American jazz like Nat King Cole. It was embarrassing. The father of the groom also asked to do his speech and Tony said he couldn’t unless he confirmed with the bride. He interrupted the bride and groom’s dinner multiple times for basic instruction that was already discussed. We literally sent him a timeline.
Luckily we had a lot of dancers and many of his blemishes were covered up by everyone having a good time. Hire someone else.
Our DJ Michael was amazing. We were at a wedding a year ago and he was the DJ. We were so happy when we found out he was going to be ours.
We had an older crowd and when I asked him to scrap some of the songs and cater to them he did just that. Everyone said how great the music was.
Brandon from Midwest Sound was such an amazing DJ for our wedding (ceremony & reception). He took the time to get to know us as people and made sure he was aware of all the details to keep our wedding day running smoothly. So many of our guests said what a great job he did! He listened to all of our requests and kept the dance floor filled all night. He did such a great job with music selection and keeping people dancing that we asked him to stay longer because no one would leave the dance floor! Brandon was in integral part in making our wedding day so special and fun.
Midwest Sound DJ is a DJ company that will match their DJ to your particular style. Our DJ was able to MC the night (make announcements as needed) and made sure to ask us if he had any questions. We had access to a portal (very user friendly) to list your must haves, play if you can songs, and your do not ever play songs. This allowed us to really think about what we wanted our dance floor to look like. They also have a questionnaire that is really helpful for planning the event! They are professional and affordable.
Justin was a complete professional and kept us up to date on events as they came up. Never pushed anything and read the room before making a music selection. My family and friends are still coming up to me and telling me how much fun they had. Kudos to you Justin, we couldn't have done it without you!!
Midwest sound was our DJ would not recommend. We had communicated with one DJ Thursday prior to the wedding. Wedding day came and she was not there. They had sent two other guys who had no idea what they were doing, we could not find them for cocktail hour to help us make announcements for pictures. Our grand March song was incorrect. We had asked that they make announcements for our guest book and that we did not want tinking of the glasses when we went up to remind them of this they caught attitude with our maid of honor and best man.  I had requested a song to slow dance to with my brother, and they played shape of you by Ed Sheeran. All of our group dances had also been played one after another the first 15 min of the wedding everyone was so tired then our dance floor was dead for 15-20 minutes. I never received any notice that our original DJ was not going to be able to attend the information that we passed along in our meeting that Thursday was not relayed to the new people we had and then to catch attitude when our bridal party was just trying to help, it was completely uncalled for I called and spoke to the manager that following Tuesday and a week later nothing has been done. These are just my personal experiences based on the interactions I had the things that were not done, and then the customer service afterwards.
Alexis did such an amazing job at my wedding. All the important things like checking with me before playing the chicken dance, but she was amazing at keeping people on the dance floor after she got them there. The number of people who told me it was the BEST wedding they've ever attended felt truly amazing as I know they've attended multiple weddings in the past few years. I know a huge part of that is because of the DJ and the music, so thank you so much for making the night special!
We had midwest sound for our wedding July 2023 and they were amazing! The communication throughout the whole process leading up to our wedding was amazing! We had Jay who was so fun and kept everyone on the dance floor! We also had a photobooth which was such a huge hit and all of our guests loved it! We even got sent all the pictures from the photobooth which was so fun to look at afterwards. And they were a very reasonable price! I would highly recommend using them for your wedding!
We had Midwest Sound DJ our wedding and it was amazing!! We appreciated how the company has you fill out a long questionnaire to help gather information about your event/fit you to the right DJ. We had great experiences communicating with Sarah and Chad (managers), along with our DJ.
We ended up having Michael B as our DJ and he was the best!! Very professional, and clearly wants to make the best of your event! We had told him that a majority of our guests loved to dance and we wanted the dance floor to be packed all night…And wow did he not disappoint…we had guests saying “when will a bad song come on?!” He was absolutely great to work with and would recommend him for any event.
Also- the photo booth was a HUGE hit with our guests. We definitely recommend!!!
Justin was amazing he made sure to communicate openly with us and kept guests entertained by feeling out the room and seeing what everyone is feeling. My guests are still talking about how great the music was. Thank you!
Amazing DJ and office team! Addison was our DJ and he did a great job. He had people dancing all night and was super involved. Everyone has been talking about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding.
The office team is also amazing! They were so responsive and answered all the questions that I had. They also quickly made some last minute changes for me which I greatly appreciated.
Midwest sound was excellent at providing information and details about the company before we booked. Their online portal is user friendly and made it easy to reference information, complete forms, and upload Must play songs. Joseph was a great DJ - he kept the crowd having fun and made sure to do everything that I requested of him (making announcements, when to play a certain song, etc.) I would highly recommend using Midwest Sound! The only thing I would not recommend is using their projector service - it is through an old fashioned DVD player that did not work so well.
We would highly recommend Disco Joe for anyone getting married or having a party! He was extremely enthusiastic and fun. It was great to see so many people on the dance floor, much more than we were anticipating. He took the time to go over the day-of well in advance and gave us the freedom to curate a cocktail hour playlist. Very attentive to detail. Our wedding was fantastic and we owe that in part to Disco Joe.
We worked with Tim and he was phenomenal! He did every request we asked and kept the dance floor alive till the last minute! We also got a photo booth from them and it was a hit!!! Time did amazing announcing things like guest book, late night snack, photo booth to let the guest know about them!
Sarah was very communicative and helpful in the planning process. Also she was very understanding. The portal was easy to use. Our DJ Brad was kind and accommodating to our wishes for our reception. There were a few details we requested (timing of some songs) that did not happen as we envisioned, however these are very minor and we still had a beautiful ceremony, and a fun reception thanks to Brad! I would definitely recommend Midwest DJ’s and would hire them again.
The planning process with Sarah Torkelson was exceptional. Her professionalism, customer service, and timely communications were huge for us. She went above and beyond!
She was relentless to find us the DJ that best fit our day - someone that could jive with our personalities and expectations. She was able to get us Coty, who did an EXCEPTIONAL job as our DJ. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and he ran the entire day flawlessly.
We loved how Coty wanted to get onsite as early as possible to set up his various locations throughout the venue as well as the added uplighting - which truly transformed our space. His attention to detail and thoroughness with our desired song list was amazing! He didn't miss a beat.
We had a blast with him, and felt that we couldn't have had a better DJ. He was friendly and truly felt like he brought the life to our party. He played our requested songs, blended them perfectly and opened it up for recommendations as our wedding progressed into the night. He continuously checked in with us and ensured everything was going as expected - though, he didn't need to because he did a phenomenal job.
The photo booth was an amazing upgrade, and we all had a blast with it! The keepsakes from it were great!
Coty gave us the sweetest card, with a business card which indicated the exact time we were officially married. That was an incredible keepsake for us that we put right into our wedding box. He went above and beyond all night - we couldn't be more thankful.
Thank you to Coty, Sarah and the rest of the Midwest Sound team. We will continue using Midwest Sound for our family weddings. As the second wedding using Midwest Sound - they did not disappoint.
We LOVED our DJ Riqo! He was super upbeat, read our crowd super well and got everybody up and partying!! Couldn't of hand picked a better DJ if we tried! Lots of compliments from our guests on the great job he did! Super friendly as well! Highly highly recommend DJ Riqo!!
We highly recommend Disco Joe! Midwest sound was great to work with but Disco Joe put it OVER THE TOP!! He was so detailed to make sure we got what we wanted and he was open for anything. He catered to all of our guests request and needs and the kids absolutely loved the dance party he put on for them! He made our day special and knocked it out of the park with everything we asked! Could not have asked for a better DJ! Thanks again Joe!!!
