We could not have had a better experience than we did with Tyson and Marquee Events. After our first call with him, before we had booked, we hung up the phone and knew our search was over. We could tell we were going to be in the best hands possible for both us, and our guests. Tyson made everything easy from start to finish and helped us create the dream atmosphere that we envisioned. We want to do it all over again so we can relive the dance floor. Can't recommend him (or the CO2 cannons) enough - best entertainment in DSM, no questions asked.

Vows & Vibes was the BEST decision we made at our wedding! (Besides getting married of course lol) Chris and Jessie were fantastic. Chris is a phenomenal entertainer and Jessie was a godsend on our wedding day. She stepped up as a day of coordinator and made the day feel seamless and stress free. The venue ran into a few issues the day of and Jessie stepped in to make sure it got fixed before anyone noticed. The wedding guests knew where to be and when. She was fantastic! They both kept the party going from the ceremony to the reception. If you’re looking for a kick a** entertainer and an amazing day of coordinator to make your big day a party to remember, I would 1000% recommend booking with Vows & Vibes. All I can say is thank you for being a big part of what made our day so special!

Mike brought expert level attention to detail, along with a great feel for the vibe of our reception. First, he was very informative in our initial discussions, providing direct answers to each of our questions, and giving us an easy to fill in Google Doc for our input. He met with us and our event coordinator to discuss timeline and go over our preferences for certain parts of the ceremony. On the day of he was set up and ready to go for our cocktail hour, and by the time we entered for our first dance he had our (normally very shy) friends and family bumping with energy. During the first dance he kept an eye out for me to signal to wrap up our song a little early (nobody wants to hear a long instrumental outro...). He then proceeded to do a great job of MC'ing our dinner and toasts. Then our party was a complete blast. He expertly weaved in our recommendations with his own song picks. This was no small feat since our wedding featured a combination of American and South Indian cultures, meaning that he had to blend in a number of songs that were most likely new to him. Overall it went really well, with both of our dads having an amazing time, and our friends grouping up for some of the bigger tracks. He closed the night with a special intro to our closer song (Daft Punk's One more time) and everyone was asking for more (unfortunately venues have strict closing times). So, we would highly recommend for the professionalism, organization and ability to keep track of the party's mood as the night went on.

  • Serves Ankeny, IA

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Born from a long time love of music, an entrepreneurial spirt, and an eye for design and organization ASE DJ was started 18 years ago. Tim, a musician and savvy entrepreneur immediately saw a need in the DJ industry for a professional approach to great weddings and with Missi’s eye for design, organization, and marketing they have grown to be the midwest’s most requested Wedding Entertainment Company with 3 locations and an amazing team of people. A true "American Dream” story; their once “side hustle” has blossomed into a full time growing business that also employs their children and is still sparking their creativity to this day.

ASE helped ease our minds throughout the entire planning process! The entire team, start to finish, made our big day a breeze! We loved that they sent out an email the week of to all of the vendors ensuring that they were all on the same page! ASE even pulled off a suprise photobooth rental, gifted to us by my (the brides) parents! DJ RJ was the best! We threw a lot of "untraditional" reception ideas at him and he went with it, supported it and best of all, had fun with it! We had a great time and RJ really listened to our requests! We gave him a broad genre of music and he got it right! The entire team was truly the best! Would highly recommend to any couple looking for a quality company who care for every single wedding they work!

  • Serves Ankeny, IA

With more than 25 years of actual DJ experience, you won’t find a more accomplished, skilled and entertaining person to help you with your wedding. Music has been in my life from an early age. At 8 years old, I would pretend to DJ on the radio using my parents’ Beach Boys records and a wooden spoon for a mic. At 17, I started DJing on the radio and I was hooked! In college I majored in communication and performing arts, where I honed my improvisation and listening skills to better connect with people and smoothly adjust to every situation.

John was amazing. From our first meeting to our private final dance, John made our wedding day so special. He read the crowd during the dance and kept it packed all night. We had so many people and even other vendors, tell us that he was one of the best DJs they have seen! We danced the night away with all of our friends on the dance floor just like we wanted. You will not regret hiring John to be a part of your big day. I truly believe that the DJ sets the tone for the whole wedding and John does an amazing job.

Ron and the 2Proud2Beg group are absolutely amazing. After seeing them at a wedding we attended as guests, my then-fiance (now husband) and I immediately decided that we wanted 2Proud2Beg as our wedding band. They were incredibly professional and also insanely fun. Friends and family from out-of-town and KC alike were on our dance floor all night, which is what we wanted. Would 100% recommend.

They all were fantastic to work with and I could definitely tell that Ali & Drake were the best match for my wedding. I wasn't sure what to think about booking a company that matches a DJ to your wedding after booking, but they really did take the time to find what music style I liked and which DJ was going to vibe the best. Highly recommend!!!! The entire planning process was so easy with them and the online portal was so simple to use! They truly made my day exceptional!

Elevate your event experience. I provide premium sound system, dance floor lighting, tube lighting, full room dynamic up lighting, live DJ mixing, and emceeing, to any event you are imagining. I try to help any potential client gain a better perspective on the importance of not only hiring someone to play a role as a "DJ" - (aka someone who simply plays music) but also having that same person actively assist with the flow of the event and truly becoming integrated within your event. If you feel like we would be a great fit, I'd love the opportunity to chat!

Davin was INCREDIBLE! He was an incredible communicator, extremely organized, was on top of everything before our wedding day and during, and was incredibly talented. He played music that we requested as well as adding songs that matched the vibe. I really liked that he was actually DJing too. It wasn’t just like a Spotify playlist playing. I don’t know the right words to use but he used remixes and added beats to songs that would normally be difficult to dance to. My now husband and I didn’t want to leave the dance floor. There were plenty of times when we wanted a break from dancing physically but then another great song would come on so we just ended up staying on the dance floor. I even heard guests say they were getting some fresh air for a second and then the song would change and they changed their minds too and kept dancing. Honestly you couldn’t ask for a better DJ for your event. Such a talented and great guy!

I had the pleasure of attending my son's wedding this past weekend, and I am beyond thrilled to share my genuine appreciation for the outstanding services provided by Nicky Avalo Studios. As a fellow wedding photographer, I held high expectations, and I can honestly say that Nicky exceeded every single one of them. The DJ was nothing short of phenomenal. He worked hard and kept the energy soaring and the dance floor packed throughout the entire evening. It was an absolute blast! The Photo Booth, which was an absolute hit among the guests. The attendant brought was a lot fun and there was a line of people all night. But what truly stood out was Nicky Avalo himself.
