Van Rixel Productions

e thought was really cool. Our DJ was DJ Anthony, and he was the best! He mixed and blended songs so well so that it was a continuous dance party vs. just playing a playlist. We had many compliments! Overall, a great experience, and I would absolutely hire them all over again.

booth was a huge hit with all of our guests! Keith was also a fantastic DJ-he really took the time to get to know us and did a great job of keeping the dance floor full for the entire night!

ad an online portal to pick songs we wanted and didn’t want, as well as fill out a timeline which was very helpful. I HIGHLY recommend all brides fill that out to a T, as I ran out of time with everything else going on and maybe put in 30 of the max 60 songs you can enter on your web portal (for must play, play if time, dedication songs, and do not play). That ended up with our DJ playing some songs were didn’t love, which was fine, I just had to go ask him to switch it up. But their online setup prior to your wedding is so helpful, and I wish I had time to utilize it more. Our DJ also asked if we wanted to share a Spotify playlist with him he can go off that for ideas/suggestions. I didn’t have time to make that either but was a great idea! There was one snafu with our slideshow equipment we rented not be available for our entire 6 hour night (the DJ needed the computer back) but the company was very quick to address this issue and very understanding. Overall I would definitely use them again if given the opportunity! The sound quality was amazing, wireless mics worked great, and they were very easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

nd talking about or day, we knew we hired the right people. They were all about providing a seamless and stress free day. Coordinating the day for us and with vendors, everything went perfect. Our DJ had everyone on the dance floor all night long, kindly room requests from guests and beautifully handled our music for a choreographed dance. I would recommend them to everyone who wants a professional DJ who goes more than providing music, they help run the whole day. Thank you for a wonderful day and night!

ything was very professional and we had zero issues. One really nice touch was Bentley singing a song for just us on the dance floor. They did a really great job and helped make our day special.

ose changes! They were always quick communicators and super understanding. Shortly before our actual day, our DJ experienced an emergency that made him (quite understandably) unable to DJ, but my husband and I never had to sweat it, because VRP immediately had Anthony available to step in. Anthony did such an incredible job during our ceremony and reception, and was so easy to work with! Really, I have only positive things to say about the team over at VRP.

inator. my only small complaint was I had to ask about meeting my dj at the one month mark and which dj I was assigned to and I wish they would have been a little more on top of letting me know this information. They had no problem sending me a bill promptly at one month but I had to ask for the meeting that was supposed to come with my package. However. once I did ask for that meeting and got the ball rolling they were FANTASTIC. I would definitely recommend them.

played at the reception. Bentley our second DJ sang 2 songs for us and we appreciated that as well. John was great at reading the audience and going with the flow of the crowd. We all had so much fun. Many people commented that we had the best wedding that they had ever been to and we know the DJ service has a lot to do with that. Thank you!

ng day and he was awesome! He kept the dance floor alive all night and had every generation out there at the same time! Great music selection, very organized, and so fun to work with!

r, etc. Also important: the music was amazing! I had multiple friends come up to me and say that our dancing was the most fun they ever had at a wedding, and they thought it was because Keith just played great music and managed the rhythm of the night really well. He was also able to go with the flow when things were going off schedule or not as planned -- a really calming and amazing presence in the room. Can't say enough good things! Thank you, Keith, for helping all our guests have such a great time :)

ed to hear and was accommodating to any special request that we had! We would definitely recommend their services.

ow seamlessly. We were unsure of what type of music to play for our cocktail hour and dinner and he had plenty of recommendations which ended up working PERFECTLY! We are so, so happy with how everything turned out. Highly recommend!

per easy to work with. The sound during our ceremony, sound during the reception, and the photo booth all were top notch. David really kept the party moving and had the dance floor full all night. 5 stars, highly recommend!

othly. He kept all of our guests dancing until the last song, and was very flexible with any last minute requests. It was a pleasure to work with them for this special occasion.

Our DJ was great & responsive whenever we reached out, he was super friendly & helpful with anything I asked. The only thing I would say is twice he did play repeat songs but over all the music was great, he kept things on schedule, and the audience told me they liked him too.

s. He transitioned the music wonderfully throughout the night to keep the dance floor full. We are extremely happy with Van Rixel and the experience Gary gave us.

r DJ and he was great. He had to be the master of ceremonies for a short ceremony and then the reception and he did a great job of adjusting the timeline and reading the room to take breaks or make adjustments exactly how I wanted him to without even having to talk to him. He honored all of our recommendations and the style of music we liked, but also added amazing music that kept people on the dance floor. He also honored guest requests and checked with us when he was worried the requests were against our musical taste. Highly recommend Brian and Van Rixel! Along with Van Rixel, we booked our videographer, Chris, with CR Films. The package deal was INCREDIBLY affordable as opposed to other videography companies. Chris did an amazing 20 minute video for our COVID ceremony plus a live stream and then captured our 2021 reception beautifully. The deal of Van Rixel and CR Films can't be beat! Highly recommend!!

able to get a real understanding for the music we were looking for with the lighter music during cocktail hour and dinner, and then on into the great party music for the reception. All the music played was exactly our style, and we felt like it very accurately represented the soundtrack of our new lives starting together! It was such a pleasure working with everyone at Van Rixel, and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional DJ service looking to really make your day special!

wedding. We were very happy and the dance floor was packed all night. We also had an extensive list of songs we wanted played throughout the entire day and he was able to accommodate all of our requests. We had multiple compliments throughout the night and would recommend them to anyone!

tic. We had Ralf as our DJ and the dance floor was never empty. Thanks Van Rixel for making our day extra special.

hour long phone meeting with him the night that he was assigned our wedding. It was an hour because we were very picky on what music we wanted for our wedding but he just went with it. He made me feel much more relaxed after having to work with a brand new DJ so close to the wedding and having to get him up to speed on our songs, special dances, and special requests. Chris exceeded our expectations!! He played all of the songs that we wanted, at exactly the right times. He didn’t play any of the “do not play” list songs (which was long). And he would ask my husband or I if we could play certain requests, as I said, we were picky. We didn’t want any of the “typical” songs you hear at weddings, we wanted something different, so he also picked great music that matched our taste for the rest of the night. During the ceremony it was pretty windy and our pianist’s sheet music was not staying put, Chris came over and held it for her while she played. Honestly I cannot say enough good things Chris as our DJ. There isn’t one thing I would change. We had such a great time dancing the night away. I would HIGHLY recommend Van Rixel Productions for your event, you won’t be disappointed.

those guests. We could not have been happier!!!

xel to anyone I know

our tastes. The dance floor was packed from beginning to end! Thank you, David and Joel, for helping make our night so special!

at and we’re so fun. They played the music that we previously requested and even changed it up when I ran to the booth to request “dancing music” - we had a blast and loved them!

remely professional. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

ted. The lights and music helped to make the best party we ever went to! Thank you so much!!

lled to La Crosse, WI for our ceremony and reception! We have received endless compliments from family and friends about how fun our reception was, and the incredible music selection provided. We have Van Rixel to thank for keeping our dance floor packed for the entire evening, and truly giving us a reception we will never forget!

g reception. Our DJ Ronaldo was perfect! We met with him before the wedding and he asked so many questions and really wanted to get to know what my husband and I really wanted. On the day of the wedding, Ronaldo was the perfect host for the evening. We had so many people compliment us on our DJ and that it was so nice that he went from table to table asking for song requests and suggestions. Ronaldo kept the evening organized and so much fun! Our goal was to have as many people dancing as possible all night long and we definitely achieved that! We are so thankful for everything Van Rixel did for us. If you're looking for a perfect DJ, look no further!

hroughout the whole night to make sure that we were having a good time and to make sure we, the bride and groom, were able to have a couple slow dances. They also worked with our musician to make sure he was able to have the sound set up he needed to perform. The uplighting was also awesome! Thanks again for such a wonderful service!

to check in with us and see if we needed anything, and when we were struggling with our powerpoint he stepped in to get it up and running so we could go take pictures! The booking process was straightforward, informative, and simple. We received so many compliments on the DJ & music at our wedding and we highly recommend Van Rixel Productions!

ople. We had many compliments after the wedding of how great the DJ was. Overall we had a very great experience with Van Rixel and recommend for future events!

and helping keep our timeline on track. We had many guest compliment how fun our dance floor was thanks to Ronaldo!

ixel’s digital portal that organized all of our wedding information (bridal party list, timeline documents, important phone numbers document, do not play list, play only if requested list, must play list, etc. ). I felt secure knowing that Ralf had the information he needed ahead of time to make the reception run smoothly. Reviewing all of these documents with Ralf at our pre-wedding meeting put me at ease and allowed me to be present during the entire reception. So many people commented on how warm Ralf was, how the evening progressed fluidly with his guidance, and how great the music was! Would highly recommend Van Rixel Productions and all of their DJs!

ce floor was filled the entire night and many of our guests told us it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. I would definitely recommend Van Rixel Productions to anyone in need of a DJ!

g meeting I could tell that he was organized and fully invested in making our day beautiful. DJ Rolando was more than a "DJ" he was helping our bridal party, bringing us water, and always asking what we wanted or if we needed anything. I was so impressed, we definitely made the best choice.

recommend working with Van Rixel Productions for any future events!

aylist appropriate for the scene. He kept us organized for speeches and dances, and was flexible with the last-minute changes needed. I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone in the area looking for an event! I can't speak any more highly of a company and a team.

as always asking us what we needed or if he could do something. He kept the dance floor packed until the very last song and had turn people away when it was time for the night to end. He made our day a party that everyone will continue to talk about. The up lighting was beautiful and everything looked complete. We couldn't be happier with the services!!

enjoyed very much. We want to thank our DJ Jesse and Van Rixel for all the services we got at our venue. THANKS!

e asked for, and much much more! The uplighting in the room was absolutely beautiful and we received tons of compliments. David took the time to get to know our tastes in music, made sure he knew how to pronounce each member of our wedding party's name, and ensured he knew our vision of the night so he could execute it perfectly. He’s the BEST. David and his team went above and beyond to make sure we had a fabulous reception!! Thank you again Van Rixel Productions. Alex and Eric Kuehn ❤️👰🤵

in touch with my wife and I over the course of the evening, and maintained a levelheaded persona throughout. He really read the vibe of the crowd and played songs all ages could dance to. The only thing keeping it from being "excellent" was regarding song requests. They give you categories such as "Must Play", "Play If Possible", "Do Not Play", etc. We did not have a very long "Must Play" list, yet there were many songs we waited all night to hear which never played. Additionally, there was one specific artist we had on the "Do Not Play" list, and two or three of their songs were played during the evening anyway. A slight disappointment, but beyond that, it was a wonderful night thanks to VR Productions.

l to any bride looking for a dj!

first dance with their dance on a cloud option. Rolando (our dj for the night) went above and beyond to help us out the night of. Always asking if we needed anything and how everything was going. He even got drinks from the bar for us! Days later I’m still getting comments about how great of a dj he is. I can’t thank Rolando and Van Rixel enough for making our day so special!!

er choice of a DJ for our wedding.

band and I were happy not only with the music, but everything else. He went above and beyond what a DJ is hired to do and I would highly recommend Van Rixel!

m SO glad she did! Jesse was our DJ and he was INCREDIBLE! He facilitated the speeches during dinner to keep things moving at a good pace (but never rushed anything). Even though one of them wasn’t in their online request system, he found and played the exact songs we requested for our first dance and father-daughter dance (which doesn’t always happen in the weddings I’ve been to). Most importantly, he ensured everyone had an awesome time dancing the night away! We had guests ranging in age from 4 - 85, and he played a variety of music that everyone enjoyed and had fun dancing to. We made a list of requests beforehand in our online system and he played many of the songs we requested as well as several that were definitely popular with our guests that we hadn’t thought of. He didn’t just press play though; he was a wonderful emcee the entire night and sprinkled in the perfect amount of commentary. He also played the songs our guests requested and made sure to get our permission if they were at all explicit (which we appreciated because there were kids there for a good chunk of the dancing). I can’t emphasize enough how well he did at keeping the dance floor packed and the atmosphere fun all night long. We had guests dancing after we left and until the reception ended and the last trolley was there to pick people up. At my mom’s request, he quickly got everyone off the dance floor so they wouldn’t miss the trolley back to their hotels. Jesse was the best DJ we could have asked for and he far exceeded my expectations. He was also incredibly nice and made sure to introduce himself to my husband and I when we got to the reception venue and came and said goodbye after our last dance. I cannot recommend Jesse from Van Rixel Productions more highly, so make sure you book him if you can!

ay if you can list were not played which is one of the reasons we only are giving 4 stars. The other reason would be that we would appreciate an email before our final meeting with a list of what we need to pick songs for so we are sure everything is picked. We never picked a song to walk down the aisle to after we were married and unfortunately didn't think of it until the day before with everything else to think about. The DJ asked the groom the day of what he wanted, and that just isn't the best time to be thinking about that. Other then that we were very happy with our choice and our DJ!

even made the choice to keep their photo booth open longer because something went very wrong with a different vendor! The uplighting was beautiful and it gave my already beautiful venue that something special to make it really feel like our special day.

and fun! We are so happy we picked Van Rixel Productions for our wedding. Thank you Alec!!

or the whole night. Best of all, we were looking through our wedding photos, and he always had a smile on his face in the background. Thanks David!

ing was baseball themed and they were even able to incorporate that into the photo strips! Jonah was our photo booth attendant and managed the flow very well! The dance floor was packed and a lot of great memories made! We even got compliments from the staff at our venue saying they were the best DJ service they have ever worked with. If you are looking for a great experience and the whole package you got it here!

ongs to put on our "no play" list. On our wedding day Sammy made it fun for all our our guests. We had many compliments on the day of and also after about how great our DJ was. He kept the dance floor packed for the entire night and was out on the dance floor showing us how to do some different dances. We would highly recommend Van Rixel Productions for anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding.

g began, and many guests commented on how unique that was and how much they liked it. He truly was an integral part of making our night go smoothly, and everything went perfectly! He really was so much more than a DJ- he was continuously checking in with us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were satisfied with everything. We didn't have a huge amount of songs we pre-selected, but he picked up on our music taste so well. Music is a pretty big part of my life, and I was so happy that I could say that I LOVED the music at my own wedding. Highly recommend!

p us any way he could. My wife and her family are from Costa Rica and he had a great selection of Latin music!

, they hit the nail on the head. Alec was our DJ and, when we met before the wedding, he asked us how involved we wanted him to be on the wedding day. On a scale of “being a human iPod” to “doing the Wobble with the uncles,” Van Rixel can customize your wedding day exactly as you envision it. Van Rixel was phenomenal and people are still talking about our dance party even months after our wedding. We highly recommend Van Rixel for your wedding DJ and lighting!

MC to ensure a seamless wedding day!

in the beginning. Even our priest was dancing! By the end of the night, our guests were sore, sweaty, and had blisters... signs of a great dancing night. They are still complimenting VanRixel! We also had a photobooth through them and can lighting around our venue. Gorgeous and a blast. I HIGHLY recommend them.

no-play list songs and they fill in the rest! they were also very gracious as we didn't get our mother-son dance song in until the week before the wedding, and didn't get the last dance song in until our DJ found us at the reception!!!

amazing attitude when it came to planning our wedding!!!

ommend! Thanks David!

id in particular; he knew his trade well. People were happy, his music lifted the party up, and closed us down with a strong finish.
