Showtime Music is a DJ company that has extremely reasonable rates and has multiple DJs on staff. We used showtime for our wedding reception and at the end of the day it ended up being okay. The reason for the 2 stars is for everything that happened before the wedding. We were required to use this DJ company because our venue had a contract with them, but if we would have had the option, we would have used a different company. We had a difficult time getting in contact and getting responses from the owner. We had to ask multiple times to get forms that we needed or to get responses for questions we had. We would send documents months in advance and then we would be told that they lost or “never received” our papers. We never felt confident that they knew exactly what we wanted/expected for our wedding. Unfortunately the day of the wedding they forgot to bring our uplighting that we requested and they decided to set it up during our cocktail hour when guests were already in the reception hall. The DJ apologized and said that the owner told him that he would reimburse us for the inconvenience. We have yet to be contacted for the reimbursement and I assume we won’t be. We don’t plan to ask him about it either because we probably won’t get a response. Sadly, we can’t recommend showtime music simply because of the unprofessionalism, inconsistencies, and lack of customer service.
My husband and I felt that Showtime could have stepped up a bit more for our wedding. A lot of the songs we requested did not get played, the DJ messed up the anniversary dance song that we explicitly wrote down in our contract, and I sometimes felt like I had to struggle to get Kevin to respond to my emails or texts. The photo booth was a great addition to our day, but Kevin sometimes held up the line by conversing with other guests who were done taking photos. They ended up being okay, but we probably would have chosen someone else if we had been given the choice by our reception hall.
Showtime is awesome! Because I was working with il Palazzo, which is where the reception was held, they gave me an amazing deal. The photobooth was unlike anything anyone had seen and my guests and bridal party had a blast taking photos. DJ XL was great! He kept the dance floor full with people, playing great music all night and still played everything I listed prior to the reception.
Dj CJ was Fantastic he set the tone for the whole night. I would recommend him to anyone.
We had DJ XL for our wedding in NE city in October and he did a great job! Our reception site was within feet of our ceremony site and knowing this, he came out 4 hours early to set-up so that he wasn't interrupting our ceremony at the time that he would typically set-up. He was to start at 6pm and came out at 2pm to set-up. This was something that he went out of his way to do, didn't get paid extra to do, and it was much appreciated that he went that extra mile. We had a little microphone static at the beginning of speeches but we didn't let that minor malfunction affect our opinion of the otherwise amazing job that DJ XL did. He played all of the music perfectly for our 'first' dances as well as most of what was on our playlist. He also accepted and played reasonable musical requests from our guests and everyone had so much fun! Overall a great guy and great DJ!
We went with Showtime from the recommendation of our venue coordinator. We signed with Showtime and never heard from them after our initial meeting. 2 weeks before our wedding we realized we have not heard anything from our DJ and thought we should reach out. Turns out they threw out our contract and were not planning on being at our wedding at that point. They thought our wedding was cancelled "according to our venue". We were told he tried contacting us several times but never received an email or phone call (he has emailed and called us before, so there is now excuse that he didn't have our information). After showing him the copy of the contract which required them to DJ our wedding, we setup our meeting to discuss specifics. We went through all the information and all seemed ok. We were asked to create a playlist of songs we would like to hear at our wedding. Those songs were picked specifically by us to be played during our dance. ALL of these songs were played during cocktail hour and dinner. None of our guests got to dance to the songs we chose for them. Our first dance was also messed up because the DJ did not test the song before coming to the wedding and the mashup I had worked on did not play on his equipment. He never really left from behind his equipment to entertain our guests and played the music extremely loud to the point where we asked him a few times to turn it down so we could hear ourselves talk. No one danced at our wedding because the music that was being played was in bad taste. A lot of the music was hard rap that we never wanted. He should have changed his song selection when he saw no one was dancing to the music he decided to play. They had nice equipment and the photo booth was good...is about all I can say for the 1 star. Wouldn't recommend them.
Showtime music was a terrible experience from the start! We had an enormous amount of trouble setting up times for our first meetings with them. The owner was so unprofessional, trying to cancel meetings over text and not picking up phone calls.
The last meeting we had before the wedding, he showed up late and was totally unprepared reading from someone else's contract for the first few minutes. We paid in full at the last meeting- or so we thought!
As party bus pulled into the reception lot we still intended to stay on for a while, but were interrupted by the DJ who ruined a surprise performance by a family member for the bride and groom.
Worst yet, the DJ came up to the bride mid dance and threatened to stop the music if he did not receive $100 asap for the extra hour which was clearly not explained- we believed it was already paid for. After the bride not knowing what else to do reluctantly found $100 to hand over to keep the reception going- the owner came over and argued with the bride in the middle of the reception instead of trying to solve it professionally at a later time and with someone other than the bride.
The DJ did not follow the playlist given to him- when the bride asked him to play a slow song he replied: this is a slow song.
As the bride and groom were leaving for a sparkler send off - the DJ came up and interrupted asking the bride to initial that he completed all of his duties- a two-page list of things to initial.
DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!
Showtime music were very friendly and were willing to meet up multiple times with me to go over things. I got very excited of what I saw getting ready for the wedding with them. However at the reception multiple things went wrong.
-My name was spelled wrong on each photo booth picture.
- most of the songs played weren't my requests
- my father daughter dance recording was forgotten and I had to have family scurry to get the dj the recording
- they said they were going to release tables with songs which didn't happen
-photo booth was so dark you couldn't see the photos until my MOH told them to fix it
- the photo booth did not look like I was told it was going to look ( white bubble looking tent)
- the time it was to be over was not communicated to couple well. Thought reception was over at 10:30.
- at last visit before the wedding day the contract was lost and good thing I had a copy of the contract
Showtime did a great job at our reception for us - from the DJ to the Photo Booth, everyone had a great time. I'm giving three stars because of our complications prior to our reception night. We attended another wedding that had Showtime as their DJ; after the wedding, we emailed with some concerns regarding the volume (speakers) because it was hard to hear. The response e-mail basically stated that the night went well and there were no concerns, it was also mentioned that we were probably not a good fit. As a bride, I wanted a response e-mail addressing my concerns - but this didn't happen. After we figured things out, we wanted to sit down and meet with them to go over our plans and make our final payment. The first meeting was double booked. The second attempt at meeting, no one showed up so after waiting in the parking lot for 30 minutes we finally left. The third time was the charm - 5 days before our reception. They did end up doing a great job, but I'm giving three stars for the stress during pre-wedding planning.
I was extremely impressed with Showtime Music's lay-out! They have an LED DJ booth which NO ONE ELSE has. They have an amazing Photo Booth with an igloo blow-up house which is unique! Very reasonably priced.
I had JIIK as a DJ and he was WONDERFUL! Very interactive and adventurous. I would recommend Showtime Music to any other couple out there!
We really were impressed with how well showtime facilitated our wedding. They were there from the beginning and set up all of our uplighting, photobooth, and DJ station. They are an all in one vendor!
We had a terrible experience with Showtime Music as our DJ. I would love to have a re-do but unfortunately we cant. I dont know what happened. We never met our DJ prior, only the owner, which my sister and I met with and laid out the order of the night (announce wedding party, toasts, first dance, father daughter dance, etc). We were told since it was a Friday, we were getting the best DJ (Jimmy or something like that). We ended up Colby. The DJ was ok at first and then completely stopped announcing everything. After the toasts, it was completely silence, my husband said "uh, ok, so I guess thats it" to clear the silence. I asked him what was wrong and he said he didnt have the agenda (which he had RIGHT in front of him and the owner used it once he showed up at 10 and he announced our entrance and everything, so he had to have it!!) And the wedding planner said she gave him a SECOND copy when he arrived. Our first dance the music was all scratchy and they were supposed to fade it out after 2 minutes but did not. It was not the right version of the song. The Father daughter dance was not announced, the song started playing and I had to grab my dad and go (my mom asked the next day if we even danced), this was AFTER he started playing the Mother/Groom dance and stopped it and jumped back to our song. NOTHING was announced. He didnt ask for the dance floor to be cleared for us. He didnt do the garter toss, he skipped it completely. Then the equipment failed.It was all scratchy with feedback. I called and text the owner, he finally showed up AFTER 2 hours of calls and text. He said he cant help an equipment failure, which I know you cant but it wasnt just that. The DJ could have at LEAST announce he was having technical difficulties but he didnt. He just left everyone hanging. It was so awkward. I had a guest and our videographer come up to me and say they have friends who are DJs they can call and come replace him. We also have a friend who used to be a DJ there come up and spend 45 minutes trying to help the DJ figure out what to do. We ended up playing music from Pandora through the reception hall speakers. So disappointed. The owner said his reputation means everything.... so does ours. We spent A LOT of money on this day and it looked super trashy in front of our guests. :( Just a heads up.
NOTE TO COMMENTS: It was not just an equipment failure. Prior to the equipment failing, none of our dances were announced. Poor DJ, period. The owner came and fixed the equipment (an hour and half later, not 45 minutes). I do not recommend COLBY as a DJ. I too have video I can share, if anyone would like to see.
We had a great experience with ShowTime Music! Our DJ was very professional, fun and he kept the dance floor hopping all night! We had many guests who commented they had never seen a more lively and packed dance floor before. We know it was because of the fun music! We would recommend ShowTime Music to anyone!
ShowTime Music gave us a great experience at our wedding reception. Our DJ helped keep our guests entertained throughout our reception and played great music all evening. When we asked if he would mind sticking around for an extra hour towards the end of the night, he was more than happy to help us out.
We had a great time with Showtime Music. However, we requested to do the dollar dance, and it never happened. As the music and dancing was fun we really wished we could have done the dollar dance. I would still recommend them to any future bride, just make sure you state what you want a bit more clear.
Showtimemusic was very reasonably priced and had updated equipment. The dj was very outgoing and very friendly.
The manager was attentive and friendly. The DJ that managed our event did a nice job and kept the crowd on their feet!
Showtime music made my reception a great time. They were able to accomadate having a room with the dance and another room where the head table and appetizers were located. The Dj was professional and made sure the groom and i did not have to worry about the party continuing. If we were not interested in the song he was playing he seemlessly moved to the next song. The DJ also interacted with the quests and they all loved him.
The whole process from getting a quote to concluding the reception was effortless on my part. Kevin at Showtime Music was always available to my husband and I. Showtime Music wants to get to know the couple to individualize the reception and they did that for us.
I would recommend Showtime Music to any couple getting married...without any reservations.
I got a great deal on the DJ package, but he didn't really stick to the list I had provided for songs. I know you have to please the people, but it strayed a little too far. Also, I didn't get to meet the actual DJ before the event, just the owner of the company, which I wasn't totally comfortable with.
Our DJ had quite a few things wrong with the night. He did not introduce any part of the dance other than when the bridal party walked in which we wanted to dance to music, but he just said our names anyways and it was awkward. When he was doing the names, he didn't even include two people! I had trouble contacting them from the start, and I would not recommend this DJ to anybody else. The half off discount, was not at all worth it, especially comparing to other Omaha DJs who normally charge the same price as this DJs half off price.
They were very helpful with us, as we were not prepared for choosing songs for everything. But then the dj they sent was interesting? First off we had talked about all of the songs we wanted for the ceremony with someone else and then when this guy showed up, the song for us to walk down the aisle was blank? The original guy we talked to had suggested something but the day of neither of us could remember so our dj said he would pick something. He ended up not picking anything, so we just walked back down the aisle to silence. It was awkward to me, but nobody else seemed to mind. He stuck to a pretty good selection of songs for the most part. He did play the robot song, which was the one song I told him not to play, but my husband thought it would be funny. Only other thing, we asked him to be somewhat appropriate, like play the radio edit versions of songs, since there were kids there, and half way through the night he plays Prince "pussy-control"! I was mortified as my parents, grand parents, and small cousins were all in attendance.
Our DJ did an great job for our reception. He kept the party going all night and there was always someone on the dance floor. He made sure the receptioned flowed nicely and there were never any quiet moments. He was very attentive to us and we were very happy with his work.
They have the latest technoloy as well as a photo booth that I have never seen before in the NE area!! They are fun to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

I won a package with Showtime Music through a bridal show. We used DJ Deano (Travis). He was very friendly and fun. He played a great variety of music that really suited our tastes and tried his best to get people out and dancing.
They were great!!! Very affordable and the photobooth attendant and D.J. did an amazing job.
Good
Amazing! I will definately recommend them to others!
This was the only vendor that I was disappointed in. The owner was challenging to communicate with. My wedding planner and I both experienced difficulty with communicating with him. The DJ (Dwayne) was very nice during our meeting, but did not bring the same charisma to the wedding. The wrong song was played during our first dance and was stopped and corrected mid way thru. Our playlist requests were played here and there. It was fine, but I wouldn't recommend their services. We were pressured for payment and then once payment was received, they could have cared less.
Where to start...First of all, I had called and asked to set up a meeting with the DJ that would be at our wedding (I only had to call 3 times to get a return call) so that we could talk about the details of the day. We went and had the meeting, it went fine, the guy seemed great, and then the day of my wedding it was a completely different guy...I was a bit frustrated, but I figured as long as he did a good job then it didn't matter.
My husband and I had spent at least a couple hours putting together a list of songs for the DJ to use. He hardly played anything on the list. I would be fine with that if he would have played music to keep people on the dance floor...he didn't. He probably should have stuck with our list because his taste in music was terrible.
We had specifically said we would not be having a garter toss, the DJ was pretty much trying to force me to do it, he even brought a chair out on the dance floor after I told him no (I wasn't even wearing a garter!), and it wasn't until I carried the chair off the dance floor myself and slammed it on the ground that he got the hint (I told him 5 or 6 times on the dance floor no and he was still trying to tell me I needed to do it).
He spent maybe 50% of the night at his DJ table. The rest of the night he would put 5 or 6 songs on a playlist and walk away to talk to the security guards or flirt with my Maid of Honor (...not kidding. He came up to me at the end of the night to tell me all about their flirting and how he had a wife at home but that she didn't have to know...)
All in all this company was completely unprofessional and not worth the money that I spent at all. The DJ is one of the only vendors I regret hiring that day. If I had the DJ I had actually met at our meeting, I have a feeling it would have gone better, but the DJ I had was awful.
Oh, and I sent them an email after my wedding giving them a review of their services (I wasn't expecting to get money back or anything like that, and I even told them that, I just wanted to talk to them about their service) and they never even contacted me back.
Had a great time with the DJ. He did a wonderful job with doing everything I wanted him to.
Dwane was my DJ last night in Omaha for Showtime Music. He did an outstanding job. He stayed true to our agenda for the reception and was great with names of parents, the maid of honor, best man, you name it! I don't know how many people came up to me and said that the music choices were the best they've even heard at a wedding (both young and old people). He made the important events (flower toss, garter, party walking in) so life-like and got everyone on their feet. I would recommend Showtime music and Dwane to anyone I hear is getting married! Thanks!
Our actual DJ, DJ Royal, was fantastic. We couldn't be happier with him. The company was pretty good too, except they accidentally gave our DJ some wrong information. So we had a few things go wrong (like he played the wrong song for the boquet toss). But it was becaues he had our info sheet & another one - so more the office's fault than the DJs.
Our dj was great overall. He had every song that was requested, or was able to download it in minutes. He kept the guests involved and had a great personality. My only complaint was that he played quite a bit of music from a genre we weren't crazy about, but overall we had a great time!
Kevin how can James and I ever thank you for Making Our Wedding Day a Dream Come True? Our DJ was DJ XL and when we had no clue what we were suppose to be doing and he was right there from the very begining... you helped us choose all of the right music while our guest were being seated and you helped me when i wanted something other than "Here comes the Bride" before I walked down the isle DJ XL came up to me and said "breath everythings going to be fine". The Ceremony music was breath taking and when that was all over it was time to have some fun. The reception would have been a disaster if DJ XL was not there to walk us through it. Everyone there was very impressed with how he worked his magic, we had family members and friends on that dance floor having the time of their lives until the very end of the night. I will never forget the day James and I came to your office to meet you, you said that a bad DJ could ruin everything... then you promised that you wouldn't let that happen because this day only happens once... Kevin you kept your promise and for that James and I will be forever greatful to you and DJ XL. With Love Kc & James
The DJ was ok. We created a wedding playlist which we said they could stray from, but they did not play any of our songs from the list until an hour before the reception ended. We were very mad. Also we had to cue to DJ to do everything like when to cut cake, when to do the flower toss/ throw garter/ when to do the toasts...etc.
My DJ and services from this company were AMAZING! They brought a huge light show for my wedding and played everything I wanted. The dance floor was always full. I would totally recommend this company to EVERYONE!!
Our DJ was fun and kept the party flowing. He was knowledgable and played the music we liked. We also had about 40 kids at our wedding and he did a good job playing stuff for them as well.
We had a wonderful time at our wedding and the DJ was a lot of fun! He was very conscious of making sure our night went without a hitch and we stayed on schedule. He played every song requested and when anyone had a suggestion of what to do, he did it! Thanks!
This was a nightmare they insisted we make a playlist and basically do their job for them so I made a playlist for them and then they would not play more then a handful of songs from that playlist. My husband had a song that he wanted to dance with our daughter to and it was on the Dj's sheet so I asked him when he was going to play it he said he would an hour later I had to go back up and ask him AGAIN. My photographer left at 9:30 because she was tired of waiting for the bouquet and garter toss. The reception started at 6. We sent the Dj home early he was so bad. Then when I called the owner he stated that the Dj told him there were alcohol related troubles I told the owner that's funny since my husband and I don't drink. Totally unprofessional and probably the worst experience I have ever had with a business. Would NOT recommend. Brides PLEASE BEWARE!!!! Oh and by they way now they are saying that I tried to scam them under comments I called the BBB and they refused to respond to the BBB now who is scamming who? I believe this is slander is it not? By the way...why not invest in a spell check...
I was so amazed at how easy Kevin was to work with. He was patient and had awesome ideas on how to make our reception all about the bride and groom. He made sure his best DJ was there and made our introduction very personal and unforgettable.
They talked a big game, but they didn't play the music we requested.. People didn't know we were cutting our cake or doing our first dance because the DJ wasn't very assertive. I didn't think they were worth the price.
Our dj was very attentive. Prior to our big day we went over the game plan with the dj and for the most part it went according to planned. The only thing that I would tell other brides utilizing the dollar that is for advice service is to have the dj announce that because no one at our wedding used them because they did not understand what they were for.
Every meeting with the owner leading up to our wedding day was professional and I felt confident in my choice for our DJ. The DJ that I was given however, was terrible and we had nothing but issues with him. They ranged from royally screwing up my the song I walked down the aisle to (yes the most important song of the big day), telling me I was just a "stressed out bride" making me cry on my wedding day when I asked him to change the awful break up song he was playing over the pre-chosen music for our slideshow, dancing with my wedding party on my dollar, nobody was able to understand a word that came out of his mouth so nobody had any idea as to what was going on half of the time, they also had us spend our time completing a "playlist" that they didn't adhere to at all... The list goes on and on. In a nutshell I wouldn't recommend this DJ for anything more then a kid's birthday party. They are definitely not pros and doing DJ services for weddings. The worst part of it all is after I brought it up with the owner stating I felt I was owed a refund, he completely denied me saying I would need to talk to his attorney (which he would not give me his/her information) and didn't even apologize.
These guys are VERY unprofessional.
Honestly, I can't blame the DJ entirely for no one dancing--it was an afternoon reception and people wanted to leave...but the music choices were nothing like what we requested on our website or at our consultation--and the good stuff didnt' start playing until it was just family left.
Also, I was a bit frustrated that the DJ encouraged my husband to remove my garter with his teeth after I specifically asked him not to (we wanted to keep it classy).
Overall, it was okay, but we probably wouldn't use them agin
Very easy to work with and able to hear my favorite songs.
Showtime did an awesome job playing what everyone wanted to hear. Not one person at my whole wedding hadn't danced at least once!
Even though the music played didn't particularly follow the list we gave them, they went with what everyone wanted to hear and I have no problem with that. They read the crowd very well and everyone had a blast!
Showtime Music did an awesome job taking what I asked for and applying it to the wedding! They work with you, taking whatever time you need! My ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. People danced all night long only because of my DJ and the music he played. He did a great job of playing what people liked. He wasn't afraid to switch it up if no one was dancing, and it worked everytime! Even when they didn't have the specific song I wanted for the bridal party enterance they bought it on the spot so they could play it! Something not all DJs could do. The equipment they use is top notch! I did do my homework and it came down to Showtime Music or their competitor. I would recommend Showtime Music to anyone!!
