Incredible experience from beginning to end! We had several meetings with the general manager and our DJ and they always made us feel that we were priority. They listened to our requests and really worked with selecting the best DJ for our pref...
erences. We had Chad for our wedding and WOW he was INCREDIBLE! Our family and friends are still talking about how amazing the music was and that they couldn’t leave the dance floor even when desserts and late night food was served! Chad really elevated the entire night and kept us celebrating until the very end. Must hire!!
Excellent wedding DJ! Our dance floor was honestly non-stop the entire night per our request and our guests loved it. The DJ stayed very on-point with our requests and anything additional was more than welcome by our guests.
He also did a spec...
tacular job guiding / emceeing the reception and the introductions were so fun and memorable. He really kept everything on schedule.
They were easily the most professional DJs we spoke to when we were choosing one and they took the time to meet with us over Zoom to get to know us and what we were looking before we even chose them. They were the only DJs to offer this and it really got us off on the right foot together.
Matt was excellent (as no doubt each DJ from his group is) and not only provided excellent music but, MC’d the event as we had requested. Don’t hesitate to give your input on what you’re looking for as Matt nailed every request (down to the las...
t call song request) on the head. Appreciate it!
Any questions?
They were amazing! They got everyone on the dance floor and even brought in props for some of the songs. It was a great night thanks to them!
Tom was amazing. Everything was ready for our ceremony when we arrived and he kept the party going all night!
Matt was very keyed in to the audience and tailored his songs to what kept the dance floor full. He was great at playing the songs we (the bridal party) asked for and everyone was quite pleased with him. Would recommend 100%. Thanks for being a...
part of our day.
Our DJ was excellent. Jay made suggestions on fun things to spice up the reception. It never got dull. He had the exact audio needs for the ceremony and was super helpful/flexible with last minute changes. So glad we had the chance to work with...
this company.
I cannot begin to describe how impressed we were with Matt and his team. We had a full dance floor until last call at our wedding. TMWDJ did such an amazing job at creating a fun vibe at our reception. Matt was so great at being "the ringmaste...
r" of events throughout our reception and was really patient with our crazy wedding party. We also had a photo booth which people really enjoyed. They even gave us a little booklet of everyone's photo booth pictures at the end of our reception as a little gift. I can't wait to look back at that in the future. I would recommend these guys to anyone I know looking for a DJ in the future. Thank you Matt & team for helping to make our day such a fun and memorable event!!
Matt helped during the pre-wedding planning by offering tips and answering questions based off of his experience about what usually works best. There was a questionnaire that answered the important questions about wedding party introduction, f...
irst dance, playlist, ect. He was an energetic MC and filled in the gaps of the playlist by playing fun dance music from all eras that people enjoy. Our guests told me they had fun at the wedding and that was top priority.
Matt was AMAZING! From his personality to making sure our day flowed perfectly. Every song I requested for every moment was played, I could not be more grateful for having him help make my grooms and wedding perfect!
Oh my gosh! I can't say enough about them! From the beginning they were great with responding to emails and answering questions. They were so fantastic and helpful on the wedding day. Jill was our amazing DJ. They kept the night running so smoo...
thly and the communication throughout the day was perfect. The dance floor was filled all night and they played a great selection of music! So beyond happy I chose the Milwaukee wedding dj to be out DJ!! Thank you again so much Jill!!
From the initial emails back and forth with the team all the way through the event itself, we were really pleased with The Milwaukee Wedding DJ team. They were very helpful over email as we knocked out the initial questions we had, and they wer...
e even happy to accommodate a few odd requests, like coordinating with a live music performer for part of the event.
As we got closer to the event, they sent us a form to fill out to clue them in on some important info about the event, and that pretty easy form went a long way in helping us get aligned with Jay, our DJ for the event.
Jay was fantastic to work with and was a great person to have leading the way at our wedding. He helped get us photos with every single table, he led the way during the "Shoe-lywed Game" which we loved, and he was energetic and great to work with.
Overall we feel like we chose well and we were happy with the work Jay and the rest of the Milwaukee Wedding DJ team did and I would definitely recommend them!
Jay was great!
Matt did a great job at our wedding. We were really happy with the song selection. He was able to keep the party going and knew what songs to play to keep people dancing. He was reasonably priced and easy to work with.
Matt did a great job at our wedding and kept the dance floor lively all night! We enjoyed working with him through the whole process.
Jay was awesome and played all the songs I wanted/requested as well as some that I hoped he would play. He was very accommodating for last minute requests and was overall such a delight to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better time.
The Milwaukee Wedding DJ was AMAZING for our wedding! From the beginning they were so friendly and responsive. We had a really good time with Matt and he was so accommodating in anything and everything we wanted. He made the day perfect and hel...
ped me stay on schedule with things. You wouldn't be disappointed in using this company for your wedding day.
We had DJ Jill! She was amazing and people were on the dance floor all night! Matt and Jay were very helpful as well when we need some information before the wedding! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great DJ!
Matt did a fantastic job at our wedding at Coast in Milwaukee. I had a few specific requests and he did a great job fulfilling them and keeping us up-to-date as the night went on. Most importantly, our guests danced all night - literally until ...
the venue closed and we were kicked off the dance floor. Thanks for a great night, Matt!
Matt did an amazing job! Communication was great from the beginning of planning, all the way through the last song played that night. Our dance floor was never empty. Matt kept all the guests engaged! Best day ever!!!
My husband and I were married on 9/1/17. Our DJ was Matt with The Milwaukee Wedding DJ and he well exceeded our expectations. From the day we contacted him to inquire about wedding DJ services, Matt was always in communication with us and was q...
uick to reply to any of our questions. In the few weeks leading up to the wedding, Matt was in constant communication with us to ensure that all of the details regarding the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception music was handled. He kept the music flowing very nicely from one part of the day to the next. Matt knew just the right songs to play to get more people on the dance floor and he was a great emcee. He even taught me, my husband, and all of our friends how to do "the wobble"!! He took song requests and made sure they were played. Matt definitely made our night run smoothly and overall just a blast! All of our guests commented on how nice Matt was. He worked well with our other vendors to make sure the night was seamless. I highly recommend Matt and The Milwaukee Wedding DJ and will do so for years to come.
Jay and his assistant did a spectacular job on our wedding day! They were on time, professional, and met every need. Initially we had a string quartet booked for the ceremony, but they didn't show up! Luckily Jay kicked it into high gear and s...
et up music for the ceremony! No one knew any different! He even had the classical songs on hand to play. The dance floor was rocking all night long and he really took my requests seriously. Absolutely perfect DJ!
Jay really did a great job. He really did a good job with engaging our guests and play what we wanted. The number one thing people had told us about their wedding DJ's was that they didn't play what they wanted. Jay absolutely did. We would rec...
ommend to everyone.
We were just recently married on August 11th and had the pleasure of being able to work with these guys and we are SO happy we did. They are AMAZING and so reasonably priced! They e-mailed us a questionnaire months ahead of time to get a rundow...
n of the times and events to take place throughout the evening and followed up with us a few days before to make sure everything was set. We worked with Matt the day of the wedding and he made sure the evening ran smoothly and he was so great. We received so many compliments during the night of how fun the event was and we give the credit to these guys. Matt even jumped out on the dance floor with all of us (initially to make fun of us for doing the Wobble incorrectly, haha) and everyone loved it. We definitely lucked out on finding these guys because I feel like having a great DJ really makes your event. We are thankful for how smoothly everything went and we didn't have to worry about a thing and were so happy our guests had a great time. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married! Thank you guys again!
Matt was beyond fantastic! He literally kept the party going until the lights came on. He was super friendly and had an amazing playlist. He even downloaded a special song on the spot for me! He didn't talk too much and kept things moving along...
. I highly recommend his services!
We learned about TMWDJ by attending a friend's wedding in which Jay DJ'd. We quickly knew we wanted to book him. He was so easy to work with, always replied quickly and helped us with timing and choices. He followed our timeline to a t, but...
still was able to really go along with the flow. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, he played exactly what we wanted (and didn't play what we didn't want) and kept everyone dancing. We also did the open photo booth- this was so fun to look back on. We got so many compliments on our DJ and I couldn't recommend TMWDJ enough!!
I don't think the dance floor was ever empty! Matt did an awesome job keeping people dancing and the whole night had a nice flow all thanks to him. We would recommend them to anyone!
Matt with The Milwaukee Wedding DJ did a great job at our wedding! He played exactly what you wanted, didn't play songs on your "don't play list", and took requests! Our venue let us stay late so it was so great that The Milwaukee Wedding DJ di...
dn't have a specific end time and basically said "we go as late as your party goes" so we went right up to 1:30am and Matt kept people dancing the whole time! They provided uplighting and also a Photo Booth that we had serve as our guest book - so a copy of the photo was put in the book and guests could write a note next to it which we loved! They also send you files of all the photo booth pictures which were so fun to get. We wouldn't change anything and really had the best night dancing the whole time - they were so easy to work with, responded to emails right away, and send out a questionnaire to really get a feel of what songs you want to hear / not hear which was nice. Would highly recommend The Milwaukee Wedding DJ - thank you!
Matt was the DJ at our wedding (for the ceremony and the reception) at Silver Spring Golf Club in Menomonee Falls and he was wonderful!! He was incredibly personable and easy to work with - he made the music aspect of our wedding a breeze. W...
e had a number of guests compliment us on his work - he kept things moving and was interactive with our guests. Would highly recommend to friends and family. The only negative comment I would have is that a few guests mentioned they wished the photobooth had more props - but if that's the worst of it, I'm happy. Thanks again, Matt!!
My husband and I are so happy we went with The Milwaukee Wedding DJ for our wedding! Matt was fantastic and had everyone dancing all night! If the crowd died down even for a minute, he knew the song to play to have every person on the floor ag...
ain! The uplighting was perfect- exactly what I was looking for, and the photo booth was a hit! He even included a little book that everyone signed with their pictures for us. Thanks Matt for making our wedding day so special!
Matt was excellent! He did a great job of getting people on the dance floor and was very great to work with! We loved our photo booth as well and really appreciated getting the book with copies of all our guests photos in it!
Working with Matt was easy from day 1. He met with us to go over all of the details and leading up to the wedding day he rolled with all of the changes. He was able to provide music for our cocktail hour outside and then promptly move inside fo...
r our reception. He never missed a beat. He kept things moving along and kept us on schedule. The dance floor was always full (one of our biggest wishes) and he always knew which songs to play to keep people interested. He was fun, entertaining and even taught us all how to Wobble! Thank you, Matt for everything. Our wedding day was a success in part, to your incredible services you provided! Booking these guys will not disappoint!
Matt was an absolutely amazing DJ at our wedding! Song selection was great and kept everyone out on the dance floor all night. If things were starting to die down a little, Matt knew what song to play to get people back out on the dance floor. ...
We had a Greek wedding, so there were a lot of requests for Greek songs. Matt was also super flexible and was able to play whatever songs we requested on the fly.
Matt even came out and danced with everyone during the Wobble, which everyone loved!
The sound and uplighting was great as well.
I'd highly recommend TMWDJ for your wedding. They are very affordable and will work with you to get you exactly what you want.
Thanks again Matt for making our wedding so memorable!
Matt was incredible from beginning to end. The music was absolutely perfect, the lighting was simple and added so much to the reception. THANK YOU!
They were always very quick to respond to our questions and professional! We booked due to price and their responses to emails. Matt was our actual DJ for the wedding, and he kept the reception running smoothly and played music that we liked th...

Matt DJ'd our wedding this past weekend and did a great job. The sound for the ceremony was perfect and the dance floor was full the entire night. We also used their photo booth which was more of a "tent" than the standard small booth that peo...

We were so impressed with Jay and The Milwaukee Wedding DJ! He was on point all evening and kept the dance floor full. He took all our suggestions and played everything he could. We had so many guests telling us how great he was. Even my dad wa...
s impressed which is hard to do since he always wants you to go the band route but he had nothing but good things to say and was impressed. He made sure the ceremony was set up so everyone could hear the music and us speaking even though it was raining to hailing to snowing during the process.
We also received the up lighting which really added to the atmosphere of the venue.
Highly suggest The Milwaukee Wedding DJ if you are you looking for an awesome DJ to make your day great! Thanks Jay! You Rock!!!
I am so thankful for everything that Matt and Jay did at the wedding. They were very professional, energetic, got everyone on the dance floor, and helped out a great deal with the wedding.
From arranging the music outside for the ceremony to ...
helping coordinate the speeches at dinner, they did it all. The photo booth was also a huge hit. Anytime anyone at the wedding requested a song, it was played as the next song. The up-lighting looked phenomenal!
I continuously heard from several people who attended the wedding how professional the DJ's were and how great they were. I am so happy and thankful for all of your help and guidance throughout my big day.
Thank you so very much!!
