Midwest Sound DJ Entertainment

My husband, Mitchell, and I recently had our wedding on 05/31/2025. Our DJ, John, was fantastic! From the start, Midwest Sound had very good communication, which was very much appreciated. As someone who loves to plan things out, I really appreciated the forms they had you fill out on their online portal in advance. It not only helped them gather information, but it helped me organize my own ideas! Once we were assigned our DJ, he made sure to confirm everything with us and was not only on top of everything but friendly as well. On our wedding day, he made sure to introduce himself to my husband and I and make sure we were all on the same page. Everything ran smoothly and we had an amazing night. We also had the photobooth and we highly recommend it! There was one issue with it at the beginning of the night but once we let our DJ know, he quickly took care of it, and it was fixed within 5 minutes – no one even noticed! Thank you to John and everyone and Midwest Sound for making our night so memorable!

Our DJ absolutely rocked our wedding and read the vibes 100% perfectly! Keem was super personable and easy to get to know quickly. We had so many people out on our dance floor all night at our wedding!! Would 100% recommend this company and specifically Keem!

Our DJ Zach was amazing for our wedding! The Midwest Sound was very responsive to my questions and put together a great package for us. The photobooth we got too was set up efficiently and us and our guests had a great and easy time taking a bunch of photos! And we get to see all of them at the end which is so fun. DJ Zach was a great vibe and played songs to match that, and always checking in on us as the couple to see if we needed anything. Easy transitions and very congratulatory, and always a hype man when needed. We would definitely recommend him and Midwest to anyone considering it!

DJ Akim was amazing! He was super cool and made all my music dreams come true! If you choose this company, ask for him!!!!

This DJ was absolutely amazing!! Nathaniel was such a fun guy to work with. He played all of the good songs on my playlist, he kept the dance floor lively all night long, he read the room with our guests and made such great song choices all night. Nathaniel was even out on the dance floor with our guests sometimes too, and they LOVED IT!! Nathaniel made our special day so much fun and I could not have asked for a better DJ. Thank you SO MUCH to Midwest Sound and Nathaniel for absolutely everything. Would totally recommend Midwest Sound for your entertainment needs.

We are super happy with our experience with Midwest Sound! We were assigned the perfect DJ for our wedding. DJ Zach was so detailed and executed our ceremony music (timestamped recessional song and all) flawlessly. He went above and beyond for the reception as well! The dance floor was packed all night and he played songs that would accommodate the entire crowd. He read the room and noticed went everyone was ready to party. We couldn't be happier with DJ Zach and Midwest Sound!

Midwest Sound was great but the DJ we got to work with was even greater! Nathaniel was the highlight of our night! He made sure our family and friends were dancing but kept the bride and groom in mind during the whole night and was sure to check on us many times throughout the night.

We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of DJ, Will from Midwest Sound DJ Entertainment! From the very first meeting, he was professional, approachable, and completely in tune with the vibe we wanted for our wedding. He took the time to get to know our musical tastes and helped us craft the perfect playlist for every moment of the day—from the ceremony to the reception. Beyond the music, Will was a great emcee, keeping things moving without being overbearing, and he worked seamlessly with the other vendors to ensure everything went off without a hitch. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about the music and the overall atmosphere he helped create. If you’re looking for a DJ who can create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding and keep the dance floor packed, Will is the one to go with!

I really enjoyed the music at our wedding and our choice of DJ with Midwest sound. I was unsure if we needed a DJ. I mean everyone has a playlist these days. But I’m glad I invested in it. Our DJ was fun and played all the music we wanted. He was communicative and listened. Our goal was that our wedding was a great time and that’s what it was. I had so much fun. Our DJ was engaging without being over the top. We made a great choice!

Midwest sound was easy to work with and accommodating! We loved our DJ! DJ Maxwell kept the party going! Thank you

We LOVED our DJ from Midwest Sound! Bree took the time to understand our tastes and the vibe we were going for during the wedding. She did a great job with announcements throughout the night and was super prepared and professional. Heads up, you don't get your DJ assigned until the week before your wedding. I was stressed about this initially, but everything worked out and everything went off without a hitch. We also used their photo booth which was a hit with our guests! Overall, a great experience and a great price!

Once I was assigned my DJ, I didn't get good vibes from a missed voicemail. He sounded unprofessional and unexperienced. I called Midwest Sound and voiced my concern. They understood my concern and we both agreed a different DJ would be the best. We got Danny. He was fantastic. No complaints. He was so nice and GREAT with the crowd. Nailed everything I wanted. Midwest Sound has great communication. They were very helpful throughout the whole process. Highly recommend

Our DJ Kevin was a ton of fun. He got people out on the dance floor and even joined in dancing once in a while. He participated in the theme of the wedding and was on top of things all night. Thank you again!

Overall wonderful! Forgot one detail, but honestly no one noticed except the wedding party. Highly recommend them though!

The booking process and planning process was so easy and smooth! We absolutely LOVED working with Midwest Sound DJ! They were very professional and personable! Our DJ was Noah, and was just awesome! He knew exactly what to do and when to do it! It made the reception come alive on the dance floor! I highly recommend Midwest Sound for your party needs!!

All 5 stars for everything! Jennifer was the best DJ we could have asked for and more. She did Amazing! We could not be more happy with how everything turned out. She listened to all of our requests, took song requests and added her own spin. She was such a delight to have and to work with. We received many positive comments about how great and fun she was. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for making our wedding night be the best night of our lives and the best night to remember. Stacey & Ryan Christensen

Pre wedding communication was great. He was in time, early even to set up and was ready to go. The time during the event, the music was not loud enough, he only had a list of song titles and not the artist, so played the wrong songs in some spots. Did not read the room as to how to get people on the dance floor. He encouraged me to not have line dancing music which would have gotten people on the dance floor. He did gold strong in not playing country music.

Our DJ Zach went above and beyond for our special day and we couldn't be more grateful! Would definitely use their services again.

Worst vendor experience you can imagine. Our wedding was almost derailed due to the complete lack of preparation and attitude of our DJ (summarized at the bottom of this review). The response we've received from this company when addressing our complaints is the worst part of it all. Our complaints fell on deaf ears as leadership at this company simply refuses to speak with us. Instead of having a difficult conversation with us they choose to cowardly hide behind their associates to deliver their half-baked responses that did nothing but insult and gaslight us as their clients. We have never worked with a company who lacks the professionalism and accountability that this company does. We have been lied to and fallen victim to false advertisement. Buzz words like "entertainment" and "reliability" are plastered everywhere on the company website. If you decide to contract this company, don't be surprised if neither of these things are delivered. Furthermore, do not expect the leadership team at this company to act like the professionals they claim to be. __________ A summary of how this company failed to execute their services to us and what their leadership team refuses to take accountability for: 1. The father-daughter dance was ruined. After announcing the father-daughter dance, there was a moment of silence for almost 10 minutes while our DJ searched for the song, providing no explanation to the crowd as to what was happening. The bride and her father had to awkwardly stand there the entire time, waiting for something to happen. When a new song finally played, it was a song about a mother and her son. This humiliating moment brought our bride to tears on her own wedding night. 2. We were promised a lively DJ who would help us keep track of our timeline and liven up the crowd as an MC. Our DJ was the complete opposite of what we wanted as he was unenthusiastic and did not follow our timeline in the least. He flat out acted as though he did not want to be there. To further elaborate on his performance: - He neglected to follow our timeline despite being given it well before the wedding. - We had to approach him to remind him to announce the names of each person giving a speech and their relationship to us. Also letting him know when to announce the speeches. Basically doing his job for him and running our own wedding. - He mumbled the entire time he was there and made everyone feel as though he did not even want to be there. - It was the definition of "going through the motions." Our DJ was unapologetic for the incidents and made no effort to make anything about our wedding memorable.

The DJ called my husband the wrong name when we were introduced as bride and groom. There was major communication issues as we didn't receive a call until Thursday night before our wedding and no apology for everything that happened.

Loved our DJ Dylan! Very professional, but fun. Easy-going attitude and loved the set list he played. Was very flexible with accommodating our live band later in the night. Also, loved the music portal they have to submit all of your song requests and give the DJ details prior to the wedding. Our DJ called us week of to discuss details.

I am beyond happy that we went through Midwest Sound for our DJ. We got paired up with DJ Brendan who was an absolute gem and went above and beyond for our wedding on 6/1/24! Our dance floor was packed the whole night and we received so many compliments from friends and family of all ages on the music selection. His vibes were truly top tier! Also a detail that I noticed and absolutely loved was how well he transitioned our processional music for the ceremony. The music for the groom and wedding party perfectly flowed into the song I chose to walk down the aisle to. Besides DJ Brendan, the customer service that I experienced during the planning process was awesome and super responsive. This company truly knows what is up!

We had the DJ Austin for our wedding and he was amazing! He contacted me the week of the wedding to really get down a schedule. I even through in a weird request for my husbands grandparents to dance to an old song which he then had to get it uploaded into the system the week before the wedding which was amazing! On my preforms I put in some random songs to dedicate to friends not thinking it would actually happen and he did it which the friends loved!! Austin through Midwest was on time, professional, helpful, and did a great job making announcements throughout the night! If possible and you book through this company see if you can request him!

CHOOSE Midwest Sound DJ Entertainment! From the start, their website and client portal are well laid out. It was easy to make payments, fill out the forms and get in touch with a staff member. S/o to DJ Sam! He called during the early wedding week to review what had been filled out online and any other special requests. With his words and tone of voice, you could easily tell that he wanted it to be the best day of our lives. The day of wedding, Sam played a good mix of what we wanted as well as requests. He was always standing with a smile on his face and dancing! Thank you Sam for your positive contribution to our day. Highly recommend Midwest Sound DJ Entertainment!

It was a bit rocky at first, as the ceremony started late. I was ready to walk down the aisle without any music.But he saved the day and found the music and it all went very well after that! He kept the crowd engaged and we had a blast!!

DJ Kevin absolutely crushed it. It was involved the perfect amount and helped ensure that our wedding went smoothly and that the bride & groom were taken care of. Would strongly recommend DJ Kevin (Castle) & Midwest Sound FJ Entertainment for any event!

Loved working with Midwest Sound & Mason for our Northern Minnesota farm wedding! Mason did an awesome job! Loved his enthusiasm. He kept the dancefloor busy all night

Our experience with DJ Midwest Sound was great for a 50th anniversary. They even gave us a discount we weren’t expecting. Staff was very friendly & helpful. We had Jim. If I had a question or he did we would get together to figure it out. Played songs we wanted.

Booked Midwest Sound for 1 hour ceremony music, 6 hours reception music, photo booth, and up-lighting. We had DJ Kasal and he was absolutely AMAZING!! He was so fun, kind, personable. He checked in with us consistently throughout the day to make sure we were happy with his service, asking if we needed to adjust things, etc... I'm so happy with how everything turned out, and I'm so glad I booked with them. I'll recommend him to everyone needing a DJ!

I'm really disappointed in our experience with Midwest Sound. We specifically requested no hip-hop. We know what we like, and we know our guests. We wanted mostly country and rock. It was included in the forms we'd filled out online, and we'd verbally confirmed with our assigned DJ over the phone the day before our wedding. He played hip-hop anyways. Both the Groom and the Best Man had to talk to him and ask him to stop. And while he did stop playing hip-hop, he still didn't get back to our requested "must play" list. Instead he played pop, rap, even a couple boy-band songs. Not what we had requested. As the night was wrapping up, almost all of the songs on our "must play" list still hadn't been played. He actually asked us to go through our "must play" list and pick out the songs that we absolutely wanted him to play. He also didn't even have all of the songs that we put on our "must play" list. There was a specific song that we wanted to be played in memory of the Groom's dad...and the DJ didn't have it. Ultimately, we regret even having a DJ, and we wish that we had just made a playlist on Spotify. At least then we would've gotten all of the songs that we wanted.

Our experience with Midwest Sound was great from the moment we booked them all the way to the end of our reception. We had DJ Zach and we could not have been in better hands. Our friends and family will talk about our reception for many years to come from how awesome he was. Our dance floor was popping ALL night and we barely had an empty dance floor except for when we needed water and bathroom breaks because that’s how good the music was. He killed it. You can tell they take serious pride in what they do at this company. Book them, you won’t be disappointed :)

We hited Midwest Sound for a work event/ My experience with them was amazing from start to finish! Ver professional and they went out of there way to accomodate a special song request we had. DJ Akim was kind, professional, and so easy to work with! He get us all on the floor and kept us there for hours!!! Will be using them in the future for any and all DJ needs!

Amazing! Our DJ (Jon) did such as amazing job. We could see just how much he loved his job. I highly recommend Midwest sound! Communication is excellent along with organization. I knew from the start I could trust them.

We had the most amazing experience using Midwest Sound for our wedding DJ! DJ Dylan was the best!!!! He is a true professional - prepared, fun, great song choices, and well dressed! We knew we were in great hands with Dylan and Midwest Sound. Everything went smoothly and seriously anything we needed help with, our DJ had it down. When our venue coordinator was confused and didn’t know what she was doing, Dylan also became a wedding day coordinator for us making announcements, confirming timing and transitions of music and events throughout the night, and connected with the other vendors to ensure our photographer and videographer were on the same page to capture every important moment of the night. If you’re not sure what entertainment company to choose for your wedding, birthday, or next big event, it’s an easy decision to choose Midwest Sound! And extra lucky if you get DJ Dylan :)

DJ James did such a great job and definitely read the crowd and made sure there was always someone on the dance floor!

Anji was an amazing DJ. She listened to our needs and was very friendly and accommodating. I would defiantly reccommend Midwest sound and their staff!

Akim did an amazing job at our church Cana Dinner. He was easy to talk to, very accommodating to all our guests and was extremely friendly.

Everything about working with Midwest Sound was pleasant, professional, and smooth! We felt so well taken care of listened to. Would definitely recommend! Our DJ Akim was absolutely wonderful to work with.

Midwest Sound is fantastic! We always recommend them our venue and have consistently been pleased with their services. DJ Kevin Kasal was assigned to a private surprise party we hosted for the owner and was top notch. 10/10!! Thank you, Midwest Sound, for your superior customer service, attention to detail and wonderful DJ's.

The entire process working with Midwest Sound DJ Entertainment was amazingly easy, and the staff was attentive and very helpful! The day of the event, James was outstanding! He was prompt and encouraging of others to participate. He answered all questions and was super friendly. I would choose this company, and James, to support all future events! They are the BEST!!

Got married on 12/30 in Stillwater MN. Jon made it really easy to connect on what we were looking for over the phone before our event, and then 100% made it happen that day/night (btw we were really picky about what we wanted). Great personality, very professional, and kept all the ages on the dance floor. We'd recommend him to anyone - THANK YOU!

Sam brought the party! So many guests commented on how fun our DJ was. We had a slight mic malfunction but Sam made the best of it and still gave our guests a great night!
