Curtis was phenomenal to work with from start to finish! His platform for planning playlists and songs is user friendly. He also has many of his own playlists for the couple who isn't picky! Our guests had a great time at our wedding dance. Curtis was also very respectful of our preferences as bride and groom. One of our guests requested an anniversary dance. We had not included that in our special dances. Prior to granting request, Curtis found us and made sure we were ok with it. Top notch service. Very friendly, care free, and stress free experience. Highly recommend!!
We were so thankful to have Curtis/Music Man Productions as a part of our wedding reception! He utilized and put into action all of our special requests for the evening and eliminated any extra stress for us as we had complete faith in the way he made the evening run smoothly. Everyone loved his entertainment and energy! Thank you Curtis.
Was great to plan all the reception details with our daughter, and then even better as the DJ at the event. Kept everything on time, the dance floor full and guests with smiles with the photo wall. Also, the sound level was perfect for the event space. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
Any questions?
Music Man Productions did an amazing job at our wedding. We loved the online wedding planning and ability to truly customize every detail of our big day. Our guests couldn't stay off the dance floor and we loved the setup that was brought with the lighting and sound.
Brock was absolutely amazing! He was professional and timely from the consultation to wedding day! He accommodated our playlist while also reading the crowd and kept everyone dancing. I highly recommend him for your event! Brock did phenomenal work and is an amazing person as well!
Curtis made me breath easy as a type A bride. I was very nervous when it came to picking a DJ as it tends to set the flow and mood for the evening. Curtis blew our expectations out of the water, allowed us to add some of our favorite songs, was open to change and really understood what we were looking for. Constant communication was a huge plus for us! Would recommend him for your big day.
Brock and Leah were an excellent choice for our wedding. Brock did a great job of coaching everybody, was very receptive and responsive to any of our requests, and played great music for the dance floor. He had a strong understanding of the pace and flow of the wedding and was able to command direction when required. The photo booth was also a very good addition to our wedding for quality and ease of use. They were both very friendly, professional and I would highly recommend them for your event.
Curtis officiated our wedding and he was amazing! The ceremony was the perfect amount of funny and heartfelt. We also used his Photo Booth and it was a huge hit. Highly recommend using Curtis for your wedding!
Brock is a fantastic DJ! We looked through a long list of potential DJs and decided to reach out to Brock based on the reviews he already had. Most of the reviews mentioned the personal aspect Brock brought to a wedding, which was really attractive. From the first phone call with Brock, it was evident he cared a lot about his role in the big day. Always on top of the details, and a lot of fun to talk too. We met Brock and Leah to go over details a few months before our wedding day. It was super helpful, as they knew what to ask and how to setup the flow of the day. Any small details that came up before the wedding day, Brock was on top of it, and would make sure the adjustments were made right away. He gave us a lot of confidence heading into the big day through the way he prepared. Our wedding was run so well by Brock....not a single awkward pause in the ceremony or reception. It all flowed smoothly, and Brock would even check-in with us to see if we needed more or less time to get to the next thing. Very flexible on his part. Overall, we were most impressed by his attention to detail, and the care he displayed for our wedding. Having a good DJ is very important for the big day. Brock made our day so special, and we were able to enjoy the day fully, knowing the details were covered by him. He is a great DJ and very, very good at what he does. I would highly recommend using him for your big day!
Curtis was very flexible with me when I wanted to make last minute changes the day of the wedding. He really made it a fun atmosphere!
Our son had trouble finding a DJ for his wedding that he liked, until our granddaughter suggested her favorite teacher, Brock Rodgers. Brock did a WONDERFUL job for us! He met with the bride and groom prior to their event to work out all the details of their evening. He brought and set up all his own equipment. He checked in with us throughout the evening to be sure things were proceeding as we planned. His music selections were GREAT! Our guests danced and danced! Brock was a key player in making our evening PERFECT!
Brock was awesome! There was always people on the dance floor and man did he bring the energy. He worked closely with us with what music we wanted and our photographer said he was pleasant to work with. Very reasonably priced, awesome to work with. Would highly recommend, 10/10.
We reached out to Brock to dj our wedding, and he got with us immediately and very professionally. Keep in mind we were still very lost in our planning and had no idea exactly how our special day was going to go. Brock helped us get everything into a very well run schedule with his great experience from his previous events. Needless to say the whole day went absolutely amazing and we could not have done any of it without his help. Brock’s wedding dj service was 1,000,000 out of 10. We will absolutely go with his services anytime we ever need a dj in the future. He was very affordable and professional, overall an awesome person.
He was great to work with. On time and professional. Hired him last min. after ditching my first DJ a month before my daughters wedding and Curtis stepped up and was great!
Brock was extremely professional and consistently making sure our expectations were met. He was also very responsible when it came to communicating with our venue directly with questions they would more likely have that answers to which took a lot off our plate.
Very professional, communicated very well and was able to incorporate and combine two cultures coming together for a wedding.
Curtis with Music Man Productions is awesome! He's super responsive and was easy to get ahold of when I had questions or wanted to make changes. Super friendly, and he did an amazing job as DJ for our wedding. 10/10 recommend!
Brock was wonderful to work with from the start! He was great checking in throughout the night and everyone loved him. Brock was also able to read the room and put on music that fit the age group. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our Wedding.
We are so grateful to have had Brock as our DJ!! He was so kind and attentive during the planning process. We hit it off with him immediately. He offered great feedback on our timeline and provided some great song suggestions when we were out of ideas. When it came time for the big day, Brock was as professional and on top of things as you could ever ask for. He played such a big role in the day running smoothly. He was all over the place: organizing the wedding party for the grand entrance, making sure everyone knew the order for speeches, and of course playing the best music all night. We have gotten so many compliments on the dance floor. It was truly packed all night. Thank you Brock for everything!
Brock was the absolute best dj ever! We were a little unsure about hiring someone based simply on reviews, but every good thing you read about him is true, and more! From the first zoom meeting, where he instantly developed a great rapport with us, to the night of the wedding where he had the dance floor hopping all night long, we just can't say enough about our experience. Brock is personable, professional, organized, efficient and fun! Planning a wedding can be stressful - hiring Brock will be one thing to put your mind at ease.
When searching for a DJ, Curtis got back to us within the hour and set up a zoom meeting with us the next day to talk. He was very helpful, had a clear guide on pricing which is always appreciated, and even had photos of his setup in our venue as he’d worked there before and so was familiar with how it would all look. I wanted to use some songs that I had found on YouTube or just came across on social media and he was great about me just sending him what I liked and finding it on his end. We also had one song that we sent him a slowed down version of for our dance and that went well. I greatly appreciated that he had a website where you had a wedding profile and then we could add notes and sort what songs were our top 20 must play, 100 songs we love, and then any songs that were our Do Not Play as well. When talking through the day of, he helped us brainstorm and order of events so that he could also announce or change the music as the day went on. We slightly changed it right before and so I just emailed him the new schedule and you would’ve never known that we changed it. He was good at picking up on the crowd- I have some friends who love Taylor Swift and I forgot to put it on must play, he played one and it brought them all out to the dance floor! We had our ceremony and reception in the same place and he provided mics to flip to the officiants jacket and to the grooms jacket so everyone could hear without needing a mic stand. Overall everything went smoothly, the songs we requested were all there, and I had a great time hearing all my ABBA favorites while also Curtis mixing in some crowd favorites
We couldn't be happier to have used Brock as our DJ for our wedding. He was very responsive and proactive leading up to the day of and was super helpful in crafting a great playlist and vibe we wanted for the day of. On our wedding day he was on time and professional. He kept exactly to the timeline and took all of our guest's song requests. He should be your first choice in a DJ for your wedding!
There are not enough stars to give you two!!! Brock and Leah did an amazing job and made our wedding so special. We had a lot of instructions for our ceremony and reception, and they were perfect with everything. They had an awesome setup for our outdoor ceremony and ran the music perfectly. They had amazing transitions and read the crowd so well with our music. They were on top of every little detail and executed everything flawlessly. They could not have been better, and they helped make our day one we will always remember.
Brock was fantastic DJ throughout the wedding ceremony and reception .
Very professional and kind and kept the guest totally involved.
Easy to work with.
So amazing. Brock needs to come back.
Great job Brock at Coppercreek. Riverside, Iowa.
Fred Witt
Great to work with, listened to our requests, and tailored the reception games toward what we wanted. Very talented and made our reception run smoothly!
Music Man Productions were absolutely excellent to work with!! Sean was knowledgeable, timely, and very professional. He kept the day running smoothly as planned and the dance floor was full all night long. Would highly recommend!
We used Brock as our DJ for our high school prom this year. He was easy to get in touch with, punctual on arrival for set up, interacted well with the chaperones and students, and was very eager to please our students. Our students had very positive things to say about him! We highly recommend Brock for any dancing event.
We could not have asked for a better DJ than Brock Rodgers and his wife Leah from Music Man Productions! Brock was kind, thoughtful, and organized during the planning process. In addition, he was very responsive and answered all of our questions. They kept us on schedule during the reception while creating a lively environment. When the dance floor opened, it was packed until the reception ended. Family and friends expressed how much fun they had, how great the music was, and that their requests were played in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them for your next event!
Brock at Music Man Productions was extremely helpful and receptive every step of the way for our event. He does a great job going with the flow and for other formal events or fundraisers, Music Man knows how to meet your needs and stay ahead of the ball.
We did some research to find Music Man productions and were lucky enough to get paired with Brock and Leah. Brock and Leah came out multiple times to meet with us at our venue before the wedding. We also met with them multiple times virtually since we live a few hours away from our venue.
Brock and Leah were great at helping with the flow of the event. They were not just DJs, they dismissed tables, announced our wedding party entrance and dismissed tables. They did it all and helped keep the night going smoothly. Additionally, Brock was flexible in the schedule and worked with us throughout the night on how we should order events.
We really appreciated Brock and Leah on our big day and we cannot recommend them enough!
Absolute best wedding DJ we could have ever asked for! Brock and Leah were amazing throughout the entire process, from start to finish. Their professionalism, combined with genuine kindness and desire to create the perfect wedding day, helped us feel relaxed on our special day knowing that our reception was in great hands. Brock was available throughout our entire wedding planning process, helping us choose fun reception games and creating the perfect playlist that incorporated both of our music interests. Brock and Leah got to know us and our families and made sure everyone was happy throughout the day. Brock created an amazing atmosphere and checked in with us throughout the day to make sure everything was as we wanted it. We cannot thank them enough for their work and making our wedding day as fun as possible!
Brock was an absolutely amazing DJ! Due to COVID complications, he had to step in last minute and still exceeded our expectations. He made sure to touch base on all of our notes from previous meetings to make sure he knew what to expect and knew what we wanted. He played all of our favorites and did an excellent job managing requests and fitting those into the flow of the night. We had a 5 hour dance and he kept the dance floor full the entire time. I wouldn't look anywhere else for a DJ, you have found the best!
As an Event Coordinator who has seen a fair share of DJs, I knew I wanted this company to host my personal Wedding! Curtis took every curveball we threw at him like it was nothing. Super professional team. I would recommend this DJ to everybody, I promise they are worth every penny. They let us customize every moment of our special day. Even when I requested a terrible song choice and everyone left the dance floor, he was able to bring everyone right back with the very next song. He has thousands of hours of experience and it shows!
10/10 would have Brock and music man productions DJ for us again. He was one of the most responsive DJs we had and he ensured the party was amazing, while also making sure the Bride and Groom were on board. We were very impressed.
Musicman productions and our DJ Brock in particular were great to work with! He made the process easy and worked with us on some special requests we had that weren’t already in their playlist. He did a great job as our MC as well. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.
Curtis is such a great Emcee! He was flexible the day of and helped us have a private cake cutting! Curtis played hit after hit all night long and thanks to him even our grandparents got on the dance floor a time or two! He did a great job announcing all the events. If we ever need an Emcee again, I would book Curtis in a heart beat!!
The music played was great as it had music for all generations and he interacted well with the crowd. If you are looking for a Dee-Jay I would highly recommend them. This was not a wedding but a memorial for my brother with a dance .
So happy we chose Music Man Productions to DJ at our wedding. Ron kept the dance floor full the whole night and was very professional and kept things running smoothly. He was very responsive as well leading up to our big day. Would highly recommend them for your wedding!
Curtis was great to work with and is so good at what he does! He kept our dance floor full all night!!
Throughout wedding planning, we had the following guidelines in choosing vendors: quality (for which we looked at reviews), value (for which we looked at package specs and price), and ideally some sign of inclusivity. Music Man Productions was very straightforward with packages, the reviews mentioned elements that were important for us, and they mention they serve the LGBTQ community on their website, which meant a lot to us. Your DJ really sets the tone, and we wanted everyone to feel welcome to the party.
Curtis was our initial contact. A few months beforehand, Curtis had a family commitment and we switched to Brock and Leah. Initially we were flustered, but not only was it a seamless transition, but they are just a rock solid team and extraordinary professionals. One or both of them are teachers, and that combination of engaging and getting it done in their personalities played out wonderfully with our wedding. When we have kids I want them to be in their class(es)!
Planning process: We met with Brock 3 times before the big day, and each time it was less of a song checklist and more of a discussion of how we wanted the day to go. That not only helped check off songs, but gave us clearer mental organization that ultimately helped in other realms of wedding planning. They have an online tool (“gig builder”) to help plan out the day so you can reference that throughout planning. Very helpful that we had a living document that we could look at at any time of day.
Technical: Brock and Leah know their equipment well. I’m guessing they put a lot of thought into the brand and type of speakers they use. Multiple people reflected later that the reception music was loud enough to dance to, but people didn’t feel the need to leave the room to visit. It was a detail that ended up making the reception enjoyable for young and old.
Music repository: we had some less frequently used songs for our ceremony and beginning of the reception, and wanted certain versions of some songs. They have an arsenal of various platforms to get whatever song we asked for. Even if they’d never heard of a song, they were unfazed and made sure they had it.
Sensing: we had a clear idea of music we wanted for the ceremony and beginning of the reception, but pretty much turned it over to them as soon as any “official” songs were done (wedding party entrance, cake cutting, anniversary dance, etc.). I got the sense they put a lot of energy into reading the room throughout the night. I feel like this is where some people get into trouble with DJ’s – not at all an issue here, they were great. I can’t really articulate how they did it, but they kept the energy up but also kept the focus on the crowd.
Responsive: they were responsive both throughout planning and the night of. We had a song from a Bollywood movie a friend of ours got us hooked on a few years ago, and they made it happen. The dance floor was already going great, but really lit up then! They were also on board to do the games we liked.
Conflict management: they were very straightforward about respecting a “do not play” list. We didn’t have a ton on it, but it gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing that would never be an issue.
They’re unflappable, and they think through details I’d bet a lot of DJ’s don’t. Cannot recommend them enough.
Curtis was an amazing DJ for our wedding! We had to plan an entirely different wedding in a few months due to covid and thank God he was available. Curtis was very personable and professional. They have a website that is easy to use to add songs on to at any time. Everyone at the wedding loved the music and he did a great job keeping us on track throughout the night as well. A+++
Curtis with Music man was perfect for me and my wife’s wedding. He reached out, handled all the details and made sure everything ran as smooth as possible. On top of that his music selection was a hit and kept everyone dancing all night. Thrilled with our choice and would do it again without any hesitation.
Curtis was absolutely amazing! He did a great job making sure every ran smoothly. He has a wonderful personality and it was just as wonderful having him at our wedding!
Using Music Man Production as our wedding DJ service was a great decision! Their online tool made it easy to pick songs and make play lists. They also got specific versions of songs we wanted that were not on their already extensive list. We definitely recommend Music Man!
I would highly recommend Music Man Productions/Curtis to anyone and everyone! He made our night so fun and perfect! When you are looking for a DJ you want someone who will get the party started and keep it going all night and that is exactly what they did for my wedding!! Thank you guys so much! :)
Curtis was AMAZING! I definitely definitely recommend him for your big day. We skyped for a first "interview" and then met in person a month before the wedding to talk details. Everything went on without a hitch. Curtis is a great guy and really made the reception a fun time. He made it possible for the dance floor to never be empty.
Curtis has a very fun, flexible, and attentive personality that made my stepson’s wedding one of the best I have ever attended. I have attended many wedding the last two years since my stepson’s friends are all getting married and I can easily say MusicMan Productions ranks above all the others. The dance floor was packed from start to finish.
He was the DJ for my wedding- extremely organized and professional and played to the crowd. I would highly recommend!
We had such a great wedding reception with DJ Travis of Music Man Productions! Not only easy to work with before hand for preparation, but he checked in with us during critical moments that night to make sure everything was perfect - and it was!
Curtis did an outstanding job at our recent wedding reception! He was incredibly responsive to emails and offered to meet face to face in the days leading up to the wedding, so we were all on the same page. Our guests were appreciative of the extended speaker to be able to clearly hear the speeches in the large space. We also received many compliments about he positioned the speakers in such a way that allowed portions of the space to continue to have conversations while we cut up the dance floor. The online song request system was also very helpful as we searched through options for specific dances during the evening. He was gracious enough to even provide an encore final song for our rowdy friends.
We would highly recommend Curtis to our friends and family!
We got to work with Curtis by chance for my May 18, 2019 wedding and we were so glad. He was very attentive, stayed on top of schedule, and did everything we asked above and beyond our expectations. We was funny and interacted with the audience well. Everyone raved about what a good time they had and how great our DJ was. He played great music that got everyone up and dancing and was very professional. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great interactive DJ.
We hired Curtis with Music Man to be our DJ and officiant and I highly recommend him for both. We live in Minnesota and prepared everything remotely over phone and e-mail. Curtis was helpful and responsive during the whole process and provided very good insight along the way. He did a great job keeping the dance floor lively. The music and lighting were excellent and he really helped make the whole process as smooth as possible.
We were super happy with Music Man Productions for our daughter's wedding. He customized it so it fit our family. Music was great and so was Curtis!
Michael with Music Man Productions was our Emcee/DJ and he did a great job! He operated the sound system during our ceremony and handled everything very well, including having just the right sound levels between our vocalist and the music. Then we shifted into party mode and his music selection was amazing. Guests commented how much they enjoyed him, and we did especially!
Curtis and the team at Music Man Productions are FANTASTIC! I have worked with Curtis for 4 years for a large event my work hosts (Reggie's Sleepout). Everyone with this company is so fun, kind, organized, and easy to work with. We have received lots of positive feedback from our event attendees on the music and service Music Man Productions have provided. AND I am very excited to use Music Man productions for my upcoming wedding next fall -- it has already been a wonderful experience! My fiance and I are loving the online wedding planner to choose songs we want to play (and don't want to play). I'd highly recommend Music Man Production for your wedding or any event in-need of some good tunes and an even better time!
Rachel and I couldn't be happier with the performance that Curtis gave us on our wedding day. In fact we had several compliments from our guests on his emcee skills. He was more than accommodating during the planning stage of our wedding, and has a personality that put us at ease. During the wedding day still kept us calm, and did an excellent job at coordinating the nights events and put everyone into a wonderful mood. Curtis is the only DJ that I would recommend for a friends wedding.
What a fantastic day! Curtis was so wonderful to work with. Extremely organized, kept us all on track and kept the party going all night long. Several of our guests commented that it was the most fun wedding they had been to-even the teens and young adults! Thank you, Curtis, for your attention to detail and great work! It was a night to remember.
Curtis was absolutely great to work with! He was very helpful in the planning of the event, and we could not have asked for a better DJ at our wedding reception!
We loved having Curtis from Music Man Productions DJ our wedding! He was absolutely fabulous and tailored the whole evening to fit what we wanted. He was extremely flexible even for day-of changes. He met with us well before the wedding to get a feel for what we wanted and checked in with us periodically before the big day. I would highly recommend Music Man Productions!
Curtis was absolutely amazing for our wedding! We live in CA and the wedding was in IA so we never met in person before the big day, but we did FaceTime and he was always very responsive via email and phone.
We chose several songs that were more indie/alternative in contrast to the more popular songs Curtis has up on his website, but that was never an issue. He was more than happy to work with our requests and changes we made throughout the planning process. During the wedding I had guests compliment on his song choices, and afterwards I had several people comment on how great of a DJ he was. We played more alternative songs during the wedding and social hour, and then he played requested songs and others he chose to keep everyone dancing.
Overall, Curtis did wonderful and I would highly recommend him to any of my family and friends. He's professional, easy to work with, and super friendly.
Absolutely amazing! Curtis was willing to work with us and help us make our reception perfect! He was willing to bring a projector and screen for us to do a slide show and was very professional! He was very reaponsive and flexible! We would highly recommend!
Curtis was so much fun to work with! He has the best sense of humor and is extremely professional. He stayed closely in touch with us through the whole process. During the reception, he played everything we wanted and had a great feel for what the crowd wanted - the dance floor was full all night! I would absolutely use him again.
Ron was fantastic to work with. He answered all my questions prior to the event through email and FaceTime. He kept almost my entire family dancing throughout the entire night with his music choices. Ron did a great job introducing the wedding party and keeping the night moving along. I cannot say enough great things about Music Man Productions and Ron! Thank you so much for an amazing night to remember.
Curtis impressed us from the first conversation. I have been to so many weddings where I didn't care for the music, but with Curtis' customer portal, you can literally choose every song you want played. We only chose a few of our favorites, and left the rest to Curtis, and it was perfect. Curtis was professional and organized, and we would highly recommend Music Man Productions.
Curtis was so flexible and easy to work with. He was able to help us stay on time and was willing to work with our photographer. He was able to mix in guests requests with our playlist and made sure our "no play" list was followed. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend there services to anyone.
We loved Curtis with Music Man Productions! We had our guests provide us with song requests on the RSVP cards, so we were able to add them to the software program he has for his clients ahead of time which made things very easy. The guest requests had a wide variety of music and we heard many great comments on how he was able to pull it off. Curtis also did a great job as our MC. He dismissed everyone from their tables to eat using Q&A questions about the bride and groom. It helped pass the time and kept our guests entertained. It was also a great bonus that we were able to get our uplighting through Music Man Productions as well. We highly recommend Music Man Productions for your future wedding or event!
Curtis, our DJ, played everything we wanted! The music he played for dinner and cocktail hour was perfect. He kept the night moving and fun, he prompted us according to our schedule, and he ended the evening right on time according to our venue. I'd hire him for ANY DJ service in a heart beat.
Curtis was amazing. He worked with us and helped to get the order of the reception figured out. He played up to date music and all our guests loved his choices. We got the wedding unlimited package. The value way exceeded the costs. the up-lighting around the room was awesome. He also did a fantastic job as the MC of the reception. He kept things flowing very well. It would be a wise decision for anyone to go with Music Man Productions for their next event!!
Five stars isn't enough! We used Music Man for our July 2 wedding and couldn't have been happier. He kept the pace of events timed great and the music lively. It was a fun time!! We had a family tragedy a few days before the wedding and Curtis was kind enough to add a last minute moment of silence to eloquently and respectfully remember our family members. Would definitely use them again!!
Music Man Productions made our wedding vision come true. Curtis was an adept Master of Ceremonies and an absolute joy to work with! He provided the music for the ceremony, grand entrance, dinner and reception. Their website is user friendly; I loved designating and prioritizing our song list. Curtis found our odd songs requests (the theme song from Mortal Kombat and Peanut butter Jelly Time) and happily played our top 20 requested songs. I cannot speak more highly of Curtis and his company!
Curtis with Music Man Productions was PHENOMENAL to work with. He was always willing to meet with us and answer questions at any time, he was professional but knew how to have fun, and he was wholly focused on the bride and groom's goals for music. You will not be disappointed in choosing Music Man Productions as the DJ for your wedding.
Curtis was great - we met with him a couple times before the wedding. We also communicated very effectively via email in between meetings. The client software he uses to allow party's to choose their music is fantastic. My fiance and I spent many hours browsing the site for the right songs. When it came to the day of the reception, we asked Curtis to just play what people were dancing to. He did a great job of keeping the party going. Thanks, Curtis!
One of the most important things I wanted for our wedding was a good DJ. Our first pick DJ was not available so I had reservations about using musicman especially because there were not many reviews on ROn. I was SUPER happy with Ron and musicman! Ron kept the dance party going all night and even stayed an hour later to keep it going. I had a great time dancing the night away and so did our guests. I would HIGHLY recommend music man. I would also like to add that they were very affordable especially compared to some others and well worth it!! The only thing downside was I had to make sure he kept playing songs in my "must play" list which I must add was very extensive!! I do think it managed to play all on the list (note--I was very particular and am guessing most brides aren't when it comes to music)
Ron really made the music for the reception and the sound for the ceremony so easy for us! We had an hour long meeting with Ron to discuss what we wanted and on the day of the wedding he took care of everything. Truly perfect service from Ron. His performance and professionalism were flawless. I would recommend to everyone.
Curtis was amazing. He was extremely organized. I didn't have to worry about anything. He made sure he, the videographer, and photographer were where they needed to be. The music was great and he kept people on the dance floor.
Music Man Productions had everyone at our wedding on our dance floor the entire night. Seriously, our dance floor was packed. We couldn't be happier with the service provided by Ron. He agreed to meet with us before the big day to go over details and was such a pleasure to work with on the wedding day! He was very flexible and open and really knows his stuff. You can't go wrong by choosing Music Man Productions!
Curtis was great to work with! He let me know well ahead of time if there needed to be any changes and he was really easy to get ahold of with any changes or questions on my part. We also had his uplighting package and he set up everything up perfectly while we were at the ceremony. I can't even tell you the amount of compliments I had of his performance at the wedding-he was an excellent DJ and I highly recommend Music Man Productions to those who want an awesome dance party!
MusicMan Productions are dependable, organized, and are a great group of people to work with to make your wedding day all that dreamed of!
The song list, wedding slideshow, layout of the ceremony and reception events was all organized and ready to go before the day arrived so we knew what to expect on our wedding day.
Curtis did a great job of meeting our wedding and reception needs and communicating all plans with us as well.
My husband and I are very happy with the service we received from MusicMan Productions and would highly recommend them to other brides & grooms!
Craig was flexible, energetic, and made the night a lot of fun!

We appreciate your review! Actually, Curtis was the host for your party and like you he enjoyed every minute of it!
Curtis was not only our DJ but also our officiant! Professional and fun! We had a blast planning our ceremony and reception with him! Curtis always responded to communication promptly and was open to ideas. We are very pleased with the service he provided! It was the best day of our lives and he helped make it special!
We got married in August of 2014 and Eric helped with our music. He is exceptionally easy to work with and likes to put on a great show for all ages at the reception. Many times the music can be to loud during dinner where you can't talk or at the dance where the older folks don't want to stay for long but we received many compliments about how Eric was great about the volume level and the types of songs being played. We were only able to meet with him last minute in person as we lived out of town and he was very professional, easy to talk to, took our ideas and ran with them in a direction that would be fun for everyone. We had some requests of songs that should not be played, the light situations for health reasons to multiple guests, and some other special requests that he was gracious to work with and made sure everything went off without a hitch! Music Man Productions is a great way to make sure your wedding or other event will be fun for everyone involved.
Music Man in Iowa was absolutely amazing. He played music for our ceremony, set up a projector for a video and DJ the ceremony. He was more than willing to help out in anyway that he could. He allowed us to pick our own songs and he kept the party going. He is very friendly and fun for all. I would highly recommend him for any wedding or party. Excellent at what he does.
We had the owner, Curtis Dean, DJ our wedding reception. He was SO much fun, and was very respectful to what we did not want played. He is such a nice person and so easy to work with! Would recommend him to anyone!!
