Our one and only day, July 27th, 2024, that no one can ever take back and redo. So we needed a comoany we could trust, and that wasn't a one size fits all. This company, you don't have to pick your DJ, they match the perfect one for you, and they did. It took a lot of trust and confidence put into them for this. But they nailed it. Told me they never go home early. That was also true. Danced all night. But, BUT.....The DJ's voice was amazing. Out grand march.....holy mazing! This DJ made it like we were stars and that set the mood and expectation for the rest of the night and man, did they deliver. They played every song we wanted, our guests music, and also picked ones that fit us very well. I'd say, over all A. Wouldn't look anywhere else as they have 23 DJs that fit every aspect of every wedding. Nice and job well done.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment has musical ensembles that range from a soloist to a 15 piece party band, and everything in between!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

GenerationNOW were great to work with in planning for our wedding. We knew we wanted the best DJ we could find to ensure our wedding was a party all night long! DJ Mad Mardigan delivered just that! The dance floor was packed the entire night, as he played hit after hit. Guests repeatedly commented that it was the best wedding party they had been to! And many commented that their feet were sore the next day...the sign of a great night of dancing! And do yourself a favor - get the cold sparklers! They added an extra special touch of cool to the night!

Golden Touch DJ Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Brainerd, MN

Welcome to Golden Touch DJ, where Minnesota DJ Bill Young has dazzled guests of weddings and many other events in the Twin Cities (and surrounding area) for more than 15 years. Bill’s journey as a DJ started years ago when he was a professional dancer. Also born into a musical family, Bill instinctively knows how to get a crowd going—reading people and intuitively choosing songs to get them out of their chairs and onto the dance floors until the party’s over.

I would highly recommend Bill from Golden Touch DJ. He was super attentive to details from start to finish, and had many helpful suggestions. We were thrilled with his services and had a very fun wedding reception with Bill leading the event!

I began my humble career as a Disc Jockey & Entertainer working part-time as a Professional DJ with Pro Sound & Light Show. At the time, I was the Chief Technology Officer and IT Project Manager for a high-tech Wi-Fi company in the hospitality industry. In July 2014, I left my position in IT, and became the Chief Entertainment Officer here at Pro Sound & Light Show. Now I have the honor and pleasure of training, and coaching the next generation of talented DJs and Emcees, and celebrating with our amazing clients on their wedding day.

We had a great experience working with our Pro Sound & Light Show, Musician for our wedding. Communication was fast and easy throughout the planning process, which we really appreciated during this hectic time. They were very fun, kind and professional to work with. They made sure they had all the right music to help us and our guests have an amazing night of dancing. It truly felt like we were out at the club! They were very easy to work with and helpful every step of the way in bringing our vision to life. I wanted my wedding night to feel like we were out dancing at the club, and they did just that by playing awesome music all night long. If you're looking for a Pro Sound & Light Show, Musician who will help make your wedding a blast, I highly recommend them!

Instant Request DJ Entertainment 

4.8

  • DJ
  • Starts at $985
  • Serves Brainerd, MN for additional fees

Instant Request DJ prides themselves on providing a service that is customized, tasteful, and fun. With their detailed and valuable online event-planning tool, couples can personalize their options to suit their individual needs. They will help answer questions and discuss options leading up to the wedding. Couples will review the entire plan of the day with their handpicked DJ. Their DJ package includes the emceeing and organizing the night of the event. With over 40 years of experience and stellar reviews they have proven themselves a reliable and award-winning company.

We have mixed feelings about our experience with Instant Request. Our experience working with the company, overall, was positive, but in retrospect, we wish we would have paid the additional cost to upgrade to a VIP DJ. That way, we could have requested our preferred DJ based on their reviews from other couples. A little over 2 weeks prior to our wedding, we were assigned our DJ and had our phone consultation with him. Our DJ was very kind, friendly, and asked us thoughtful questions about us and our wedding day, but we had multiple concerns, one of which being that he had never been to our wedding venue, especially since we were using the DJ services during the ceremony and reception, and also, we would be transitioning to a silent disco at the end of the night (as required by the venue). We could tell that our DJ really cared about our vision and logistics of the wedding day, however, our impression was that he had a reserved personality, and we requested an outgoing and energetic DJ on our preference form. Due to these concerns, I reached out to Instant Request and spoke with one of the staff, who reassured me that they would reach out to our DJ to discuss the layout and logistics of our venue with him. On the wedding day, our DJ was professional and everything went according to plan. We appreciated that he was intentional about asking each person that was giving a speech and bridal party member how to pronounce their name and facilitated the shoe game during our reception. Overall, we thought our DJ was very friendly and skilled, but would have preferred a DJ with more of an outgoing and upbeat personality. We would still hire Instant Request, but would have paid the additional cost to upgrade to a VIP DJ.
