Zach did a fantastic job. He is very responsive and easy to coordinate with, and just generally a likeable guy. He did a great job preparing for the wedding and getting the information he needed in the run up to the event. The day of the wedding he was very professional in the setup and got his DJ station ready and hooked up quickly. He took on MC responsibilities for our wedding as well. He did a great job of keeping things moving while not rushing. When it comes to the dance floor we were very happy with the way he mixed the music for the night, making sure the songs don't go on too long but making sure people get the chance to enjoy them fully. He did great would gladly work with him again!

We had our wedding on 8/22/26 and Zach was a dream to work with! Our wedding was literally perfect. He did the audio for the outdoor ceremony, indoor cocktail hour, and upstairs reception. The day was absolutely perfect and he did an amazing job with our song list and MC-ing for the evening. Super easy to work with. Made our jobs so easy and stress free. Highly recommend for your MC and DJ needs!

Zachary Stanton

Owner

Welcome! My name is Zach. A little about me, I began my music journey at age 12 when I first got my hands on a DJ controller. Since then I've been behind and in front of the booth performing original music on the side. It's a huge honor to be able to do what I do, bringing smiles to couples faces on the happiest day of their lives. I'm currently enrolled at Normandale Community College and live in Minneapolis.

Zachary made our wedding the most upbeat, fun, and memorable day! From planning with him during the months and weeks leading up the wedding, to his arrival at our venue checking in...

and ensuring everything was ready to go, to perfectly executing sound and music throughout the entire day, Zachary was amazing!! Our wedding was outside and it was pretty windy, but the sound for the ceremony music and the ceremony itself were perfect. He played the most fun music and kept our dance floor busy, even as me and my husband would get pulled away. Having must play songs that would only be played when we were out on the dance floor helped us not miss any of our favorite songs and made the night so special. We can’t say enough good things about Worlds Away DJ!! Seriously the best day ever thanks to Zachary! Or was genuinely so much fun working with you - we’re forever grateful!! We had so many people comment about how amazing the sound and our DJ was, and all of our other vendors expressed how great it was to work with you!

the cues on the wedding day. When it dance time at the reception Zach absolutely blew us and everyone away! His energy, song choices, and mixing was beyond. He isn't just a "press play" and sit down DJ--he provides so much more! Our dance floor was packed all night and all of our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful he was!

Rachel L

Zach is amazing. We used him for our wedding and not only was he so friendly and easy to talk to, but he went above and beyond to help us plan and even mixed some songs for us. He ...

played all the songs we had asked for and went out of his way to continually check in throughout the day and made sure everyone was on the same page with things. We had multiple friends and family members tell us that Zach was “the best wedding dj they’d ever seen” and some of these comments came days later… he really left his mark and we all left it on the dance floor. We could not recommend Zach more for your wedding!

expectations out of the water. I had students fill out a feedback form on various elements of the event and every. single. person. had raving reviews of Zach. He is amazing with communication, professionalism, and hospitality- he met all my requests, was punctual, professional, and approachable. He worked with me to discuss music preferences in advance and was gracious when I requested certain songs and artists not be played. He had a great playlist for our cocktail hour and then transitioned into dancing- getting our 230 person event into the dancing mood! He did a great job matching the vibe of the guests- gauging what was getting people excited and going with those tunes. We also got our uplighting through Zach- which was able to match the music and elevated the dance portion of the night. From the initiation of working from Zach, through the event, and closing up, Zach was lovely. 10/10 recommend. Can't speak more highly, will book again for any future events I host in the Twin Cities area!
