Very unprofessional company. Poor communication all around. Any time you called you got a follow up email instead of a call back. The DJ for day of did not reach out to us until 2 days before our wedding making us think that they just took our money and ran. Day of the DJ showed up late, dressed in leggings and a tshirt and not the semi formal attire that was requested, did not have the correct equipment and all night kept having sound issues. Music would go from the right volume, to super quiet, then to way to loud and she didn't seem to care. She also kept disappearing so random songs would play. We were required to use their wedding planner to ensure we got everything we requested and we got only the bare minimum which was basically only the ceremony being correct. No song requests from said required planner were played which disappointed guests, as well as the overall lack of professionalism we got from paying $1,400. These guys came to us highly recommended by a friend as well as our vendor for someone who was affordable, but I recommend everyone to find someone else if you actually want someone professional and not going to give you a hard time or leave you thinking that you got scammed. They really only care about the money, not the client.

Hi Laura,
This is all very dissapointing to hear,
I will apologize for sending follow-up...
emails rather than a call back, unfortunately as this was a holiday wedding (Halloween) this is during one of our busiest times of the year. So we do email follow-ups when calls aren't possible.
I can say that your DJ most certainly did not leave our office in 'leggings and a t-shirt' and had proper semi-formal attire upon her departure and return.
I also find it unlikely that she 'dissappeared' throughout the evening as she was actively working with me over-the-phone to try to correct the sound issues throughout the night. Val cares very deeply about providing the best experience for our clients and was determined to find a fix for the sound issues.
Unfortunately, the back-up computer was having trouble accepting the playlist transfer so that she could play music from that while diagnosing her main. Both computers have been sent in for repairs.
I was able to pull her playlist history and it looks like most of the song requests were played, with only 3 out of 15 requested songs having not been played. I also saw many guest requests were added to the playlist as well and it appeared that despite the sound hiccups, the dance floor was full most of the night!
I apologize again for the inconvenience and hope I was able to clear a few things up.
Thank you so much!

Contacted WedPhoria for a quote and to set up a meeting to talk about their company and what they offer. The quote came fast but their communication for the meeting was lacking. They took forever to respond and when they did they would give you little time to respond before the dates they would give then they wouldn’t confirm they date and the process would start all over.

Bob was our DJ. He was very laid back and pleasant to work with. He kept the party going and played all of our requests! All of our ceremony/speech sound and music was seamless. Wedphoria asks a TON of questions on their information form which was very helpful--there's no way we could have come up with all the different songs we would need so it as a great guide for us.

Bob was fantastic. Played what we initially requested and was very intuitive as to what the crowd was into. Led the activities wonderfully, personality was absolutely great, not to mention he's hilarious. I would gladly recommend Bob to everyone!!

Bob was our DJ and officiant and we were very happy with his service! He made the whole process easy and listened to all of our requests. We had to move the equipment a few times but this was done very quickly and we barely noticed. Very happy with how everything turned out and would recommend them to anyone!

To start, Dave was wonderful to work with in the booking process. Answered all my questions clearly and quickly (and I had a lot of questions.) We had Scott as our DJ for the ceremony and reception.
Scott was fantastic, he was a lot of fun and great at reading the crowd/taking requests and during the ceremony he hit all the cues and faded out at exactly the right time.
We even had several guests say that Scott was an awesome DJ. Personally, I’m pretty picky when it comes to music and couldn’t have been happier!
We would recommend Minnesota Pro DJ 100%.
Oh! And also, affordable pricing!!

I was SO nervous to hire a dj I had never listened to before - and I cannot express how happy I was with Minnesota Pro DJ! Even my dad could not stop talking about how great the dj was and how not once did everybody leave the dance floor... and my dad is extremely critical of djs. The dj "Val" and all members of Minnesota Pro DJ kept in close contact with us prior to the wedding and promptly replied to all emails and phone calls! On the day they showed up on time, played the best music, and even helped my sister-in-laws sing a duet with their microphones and background music. The dj was nothing but wonderful, she was so nice and professional, she didn't play the music too loud or too quiet, and her dj skills were superb! I simply cannot rave about Minnesota Pro DJ enough!!! If you go with any other dj for your wedding you are truly missing out! Their competitive rates made the experience well worth it, too. Thank you, Minnesota Pro DJ, by helping relieve some of the wedding stress, and by making our wedding a fun night to remember!

So impressed with Dave and his entire team. We had an outdoor wedding in Waconia, MN. We hired them to do our photography, photo booth and DJ services and they completely exceeded our expectations. They arrived very early to make sure they were all setup and prepared and even scoped out all of the great photo locations ahead of time to help us as we had limited time. I would highly recommend them to anyone. And for the price, its a no brainer to hire these guys over anyone else.

WedPhoria was amazing! We worked with Dave Ley and Andru Cairl to set everything up. We needed a DJ for both the ceremony and the reception, and we also wanted a photobooth. Our DJ, Andrew, was perfect. His timing was on point. The music selection varied from R&B to hip hop to country line dancing. We had so much fun dancing. And the photobooth was a hit! We have so many great pictures in the album they provided. Andrew and his sister were an awesome team. I'm definitely going to recommend that anyone else use their services. :)

We were very impressed with the DJ services!! Our families aren't typically "dancers" but the dance floor was jumpin the whole night, everyone had a blast. We had provided a listing of songs we liked and the DJ "Scott" did a great job with playing those and also what he thought the crowd was vibing too. Overall super impressed!!! Thank you !!

He played all our songs well and found all the songs we had requested at the right times, but according to a few guests he would take there request and not play it and when asked to play it again he told her he had forgot. He also never played any 90's music which is what me and my husband listen to, and so most of the older adults never went and danced and that kind of sucked.

The price was good for having them play at the ceremony and for four hours during the dance. They were easy to contact and they responded to any questions in a reasonable amount of time.

We had an outdoor wedding, and reception in a tent in Alexandria, MN. We found Dave/MN Pro DJ on the internet when planning and gave him a call. After talking with him he seemed like a good fit so we sent him our PayPal deposit (very convenient) right away. Dave was very professional, answered all of our questions, and even made a special trip to Alexandria a month before the wedding in order to go over a few things, as well as evaluate the electrical capabilities of where the reception was being held since this was the first wedding ever had there. This was a huge help and stress reliever. He answered all of our questions, and they were able to accomodate all of our requests, including providing a microphone and music for the actual ceremony as well as the reception.
After the ceremony, he had to move all of his equipment from the ceremony up to the reception site in order to play some background music for the cocktail hour. We didn't even notice him moving his stuff, and he was playing music again faster than we could have hoped.
We had originally planned to announce the grand march ourselves, but changed last minute (literally, maybe 5 minutes before) and decided to have Dave announce. We also changed our fist wedding party dance song last minute as well. Dave was great with all the last minute changes and it was just a huge relief that he was willing to do whatever he needed and could to help our day be perfect.
Song selection at the reception was awesome. We had multiple compliments that they played such a great variety of music, and Dave did an awesome job keeping people on the dance floor. It was packed all night. Apparently someone at our reception made a list of almost 20 songs that were all one genre, and Dave had noticed that whenever songs similar to ones on the list were played, everyone seemed to leave the dance floor. He approached us and suggested that he maybe mix in a few here and there rather than playing them all, so we definitely appreciated him paying attention to what was working and what wasn't, rather than just hanging out and not caring how much fun everyone was having.
Dave had to leave (he told us well before the wedding day) about halfway through the dance for a personal commitment, and the person who came and replaced him from MN Pro DJ did just as awesome of a job, and was willing to stand on a table at the end of the night and take a picture of everyone who stuck it out the whole time.
For such a random discovery of MN Pro DJ, we just googled DJ's in MN, we couldn't be happier to have landed on Dave/MN Pro DJ. Dave was a huge help with everything, did everything we asked, and just did an all around fantastic job. My bride and I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND using MN Pro DJ to any/everyone that we can. Great Job all around.
THANKS DAVE!

I had chosen this DJ early on in my wedding planning. They were easy to keep in contact with and also had a military discount which was important to me. They asked all the right questions when it came to figuring out what kind of music I would like. At the reception, the DJ we were provided with was great! He was fun to work with, and all our guests loved the music. I would definitely recommend MN Pro DJ!

MN Pro DJ's was the most affordable DJ Service in our area. I called multiple companies and did online searching. I was beyond pleased with their pricing and went with them.
Dave Ley was so easy to work with and made our Wedding Reception so fun, it was talked about for months! He was fast to reply to all my questions and emails reguarding our special day and played EVERYTHING I had asked for on my playlists...
I had a friend make a special remix for a Congo Line Dance and I was nervous if there was a way to get that to our DJ and have played. With no questions or concerns, Dave easily made that request happen! Beyond pleased with MN Pro DJ. Highly recommend.

After talking to Dave we knew that they were the company we wanted to DJ our daughters party. He was professional, knowledgeable and accommodated all of our requests. Scott was our DJ and showed up on time and brought everything we had requested. The sound and lights were better than we had hoped. Scott kept the party going the whole time and found the perfect songs to make this the best event ever!!! We had a blast thanks to Dave and Scott!!!
