Our DJ Austin was amazing for my daughter’s wedding reception. He had everyone on the dance floor and kept the party going. We have had so many compliments on him from our 300+ g...
uests. My daughter injured herself halfway into the evening and had to be taken to the hospital. He handled the situation very professionally and prepared everyone for her return in a celebration like no other. The couple were so worried that people would leave and were overjoyed at the welcome that they received. That ended up being one of the best parts of the whole evening. It is one thing for a DJ to get a party going, but it is a whole different talent to stay calm in a crisis and keep the crowd entertained. We can’t say enough great things about Austin and would highly recommend him to everyone!

I found Midwest Sound DJ at the 2025 Minnesota Wedding Expo and booked them because they had DJ'd at Dellwood Barn weddings before. The ceremony was up a hill with open field and r...
eception inside a large barn, so we wanted a DJ that was familiar with our venue. We were a bit nervous knowing that we wouldn't get placed with our DJ until 1 week before the wedding. We got a call wedding week and James our DJ seemed very experienced and had some very good questions regarding the wedding. The ceremony sound was good and loud enough for the open field, our chosen songs were played on que for recessional, prayer and exit song. there were microphone issues during ceremony that will probably mess up our videography and we cant re-record sadly. good thing our videographer had a mic on the groom as backup. For the reception, DJ did great at hyping all the guests for the the grand march and it was so much fun for everyone!! he was able to play our "must have" songs and some of the maybe songs. Overall, we are very happy with this company for our special day.

ble for our day and we got a perfect match! Nathaniel was so much fun and kept our crown on the dance floor all night! If it started to get quiet, he'd get out on the dance floor and pull people back in! His joy of being there was extremely genuine and I think he had just as much fun as our guests! I would highly recommend using midwest sound and if anyone is looking for a top notch DJ who will keep the vibes up and isn't afraid to get out on the floor and dance all night long with your wild aunt, then Nathaniel is the guy for you!

as flawless, the transitions were seamless, and he read the crowd perfectly and keeping the dance floor packed all night long.
Every single guest commented on how the vibe was absolute fire and that Nathaniel was truly the life of the party. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and fun, making sure every moment flowed effortlessly while keeping everyone engaged and excited. He was so sweet and even wrote down on a card the exact time we got married which was such a sweet touch! It just goes to show how much he cares for his couple he is working with!
If you’re looking for a DJ who will take your celebration to the next level and create a night your guests will never stop talking about, Nathaniel is the one. We are beyond grateful for the unforgettable atmosphere he created on our wedding day!

eciated. 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!

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!

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.
