Neon Express Entertainment

d all our requested songs! Would definitely recommend!

such a hot sunny day and everyone was out doing yard games and such. We had so many compliments after about how cool it was that we had music and danced outside! Dave was great and I would recommend to anyone!

we enjoyed and was very engaging with the audience. Very affordable, responsive, and a great company to work with. You won't be sorry if you choose them for your wedding!

evening. Neon Express is a great option if you want a good quality DJ that also doesn't cost a ton of money. Great value!!

saw at the wedding, but after working with him, I wish we would have gone with someone else. He and I had a call before our wedding to go over thing, but once the wedding day came, it was like he forgot everything we talked about. He went up to my husband in the middle of the ceremony and asked what song to play next, when he and I had talked about it two days before. He forgot we paid him two weeks prior to the wedding and he was very lackluster with our guests. He didn't play requests from both my parents and my husbands parents or anyone else for that matter. I also had several guests say he was rude. Music was played from Youtube, so I could have easily just made a playlist and plugged in my phone instead. Overall it wasn't the best experience and I wish we would have gone with another DJ.

et with Marc before booking and knew he was a perfect choice, after we filled out forms and got them to him 5 days before the wedding it was great that he followed up, make sure he got all pronunciations right. He was beyond our expectations and we got so many compliments!!!

nces with them. Options and pricing were laid out and easy to understand. We could have as much or as little say as we wanted about how the dance would go. The owner, Dave, was very responsive to answering questions and giving suggestions, but made sure to reiterate he would do whatever we would like for our day. Would recommend!

stress the day of. We provided a pretty short list of what we wanted and asked more about wanting 70's-80's music as we are an older couple. I don't know if it was because DJ Kellen was much younger but he lacked awareness of what we had requested. When he played what he wanted which was clearly more his vibe the dance floor was empty. Played what we asked for, people went out. It was frustrating that despite providing clear names he announced us as the bride's last name vs. the name we provided. We were told he would contact us before the wedding to go over things and he never did. I followed up and was told he would be in touch by the end of the day--he wasn't. I finally was able to reach him and was assured that he had pulled the songs we listed (not all of them were played and again, the list was fairly short) and that he was good to go. He didn't really seem to want to go over things and the call was brief. The microphones were a little lacking on the sound. If I were to do it again, I would consider them but I would want more interaction and to make sure that the DJ assigned to our reception really knew what we had wanted vs. doing his own thing. All in all it was a wonderful evening but the music piece was just so so.

dule so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Everyone loved when the little kids played their scavenger hunt game!! Thank you Mike!

d, we were amazed that the prices were as low as they are! When we met with Mike, he made us feel confident that our wedding day would go off without a hitch. We created our own playlist for the entire evening, and Mike was more than happy to accommodate this. During our wedding reception, Mike was so on top of everything. He made sure that the flow of the music was good. He also made sure that the first dances, our dollar dance, and the anniversary dance transitions went smoothly. We felt very confident and comfortable throughout the entire evening. We would highly recommend Neon Express Entertainment!

gnificance: the song used for the bride's processional was botched. It was clearly stated what was to occur and it did not happen. Names were mispronounced during the grand march of the bridal party into the reception - this was after a phonetic spelling of every name was provided AND the DJ went over each one with the bridal party. Not a huge deal, but after the bridal processional had been done wrong, it was a little more frustrating. We had Dave as our DJ; we had requested Marc after having heard him at another wedding and were impressed by him. We assumed the owner would be equally as good. Most of the rest of the night went smoothly but several songs were played that instantly cleared the dance floor and the microphones were old school and never worked, making him impossible to understand if he ever announced anything. We are happy with our day and evening went but I wouldn't recommend Neon Express to any of my friends getting married.

d that he would be great for ours - which he was! He played good, danceable songs all night and kept people coming back to the dance floor, the few times that they left. What we were most impressed with was how great he was at keeping us on our toes for when events should occur. He told us when dinner was going to be served, excused all the tables without us asking, told us when it was time to cut the cake, told us when the first dance songs would start, and found us when we needed to get ready for the bouquet and garter toss. We didn't have to remember anything or stay organized. We could have fun and Dave made sure we got the events done at the right time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with a DJ and as a bonus we didn't have to break the bank to get that experience!

nd had a DJ left on our wedding day, but we never expected them to be as amazing as they were! Marc was our DJ and he was great He made sure we were getting what we wanted, was not annoying or overly involved, and went above and beyond what he had to do. He called us a few days before to touch base and sounded very confident. The planners we filled out before were really helpful to make sure they knew what we wanted. And it was seriously such a good price!!!

r requests. During the actual day of the wedding, things went very well. There was an initial issue during the first group song (after first dances) where the song cut-out and restarted, but it was not that big of a deal. Dave (the owner) was also easy to talk to. Highly Recommend

. The night was fun

y and had everything set up nicely. It was incredibly hot and humid and also poured rain on his equipment, but he still made the evening successful. We were impressed. You get a lot of value for a very reasonable price. Use Neon Express!

ed down so others who weren't dancing could talk to each other. Also, the price was within our budget. We would recommend Neon Express Entertainment!

no extra charge. He is flexible and plays what you want to hear - not what he wants to play. I will use him again should I need a DJ again. He was the best value in the MSP area.

s a small company with only a handful of DJs, but they are so great about meeting with you. We got a very personal playlist, and they were able to give input for keeping people entertained. We worked with Scott, and very pleased with the service. We got a lot of bang for our buck. The only downside was that his microphone wasn't the clearest, so it was a little difficult to understand when he was sending tables to the buffet. But he actually came out and dismissed the tables in person for us! Great service, great value.

nal and flexible with last minute changes. Highly recommended.

at my wedding than hear complaints about something I had no control over.

t for the slideshow, and he played it at the wrong time. music selection and what he played was great

ing stop once started, or during a song another song would blast through during a dance. I think he might have been previewing the next song to play, but it was a little distracting. Overall their prices are great though for what you get.

Grand March. He is very experienced and we're so happy we picked him!!! He knows what music to play for your type of crowd. VERY affordable. we went with the 350 package and it was great.

our wedding. We had one meeting in person with the DJ prior to the event, which went very well; but when questions came up and changes were requested a few weeks prior to the wedding, there was no acknowledgement of the specific changes despite numerous attempts to reach the DJ. This ultimately led to an incorrect mother-son dance song. Also, there were several times when the music was way too loud for the speakers and was clipping. This was not a problem for the entire dance, but when it happened, the DJ was away from his booth, so the songs sounded bad for an extended period of time. There must not have been a sound check for the dinner music because as guests were finding their seats, the music started blaring out of the house speakers for a minute or so until it was finally turned down. Despite these mishaps, we still had a great time. The introduction of the wedding party was done very well, the cocktail music was great, and the dance floor was packed all night.

e day of the wedding, the DJ kept coming up to ask us lots of questions. During our first dance as a couple, some of his equipment starting making a beeping/alarm sound. It lasted the entire dance and ruined our first song. Then during the dance, we had some weird musical selections that didn't really make sense for a wedding dance. Easy to work with and cheap but would not recommend him. Wasn't overall happy with their services.

ever an empty dance floor!

very impressed with them.

was great and played great music and knew how to get the guests on the dance floor! He was also extremely reasonably priced! I couldn't find anyone else as reasonable!

dance choreographed and to make sure to wait until we were out on the floor and ready before we started. He did this, but then started the song about 3 lines in which started us quite far into the dance and really threw DH off so he screwed up a few of the moves 2) The music was REALLY loud and staid REALLY loud despite us sending people up to ask him to turn it down a bit. Again, nothing that ruined the night and I’d definitely recommend him for the price that we paid.

was one of the best dances they had ever been to. He even found the Vikings theme song that we wanted and played that. Every aspect of our music at the reception was great and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of.

best to keep everyone entertained.

ervice and very worth it for the price.

the week prior to the wedding and everything seemed set to go. I turned in a list of must play/Do not play songs as well as a schedule/time line of events during the reception with the songs we wanted played for specific events. Scott used very outdated equipment (only CDs) and did not seem to want to be there. He did not play our cake cutting song, started playing the wrong song during the mother/son dance, and did not have or play more than half the songs on our MUST play list and then played a song on our Do NOT play list. One song we wanted played was a very special song that has a lot of meaning to us and he just didn't have it and when I questioned him about it, he had an attitude. Also, the song we wanted to be played last was Shout-which he had, but it skipped and was unplayable. Overall, he did ok, and we along with our friends all had a great time, but we weren't thrilled. I must note though, that after talking to Dave following the wedding, he refunded us our $50 deposit for the issues and apologized for our below par service.

, decide it's not the song he thought he was playing, and then randomly started playing another song. The CDs skipped about every 30 minutes. It was awful.

started, rather than fading nicely from one in to the other. Also the music for the unity candle lighting didn't start until we were almost done lighting it and then it faded out right away rather than playing entirely. During dinner things seemed to move slowly (getting speeches, cake cutting, dances etc) so a lot of people were getting up and moving around. Lastly, 2 'activities' or requests that I wanted to have done that night never happened even though we specifically discussed them more than once. But they are by far the lowest priced DJ service I found so I guess you can't really expect flawless service for such a discount.

pical timelines for wedding music and has planning sheets that helped us a lot. He was very slow in setting up the mic and speakers for the ceremony--we even had to start late. He did a decent job on the dance floor--it was packed most of the night. Quality is good (several systems to choose from) and they are the cheapest DJ in town ($350 for the standard system). Overall, good job.

he kept the dance floor full so I was overall happy!

ther kind of show than what we hired him for. We were happy with the service and the value, however, was disappointed that several songs skipped - seems in the age of digital music, that shouldn't be happening. Oh well, the price couldn't be beat, and I bet none of my guests remember that small annoyance in an otherwise wonderful evening.
