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.

If you want a packed dance floor from beginning to end, a club like experience and the BEST DJ's in town - then choose GenNOW for all your Wedding Day needs. From the first interaction, we knew we were in good hands. Tim responds quickly and really takes care of his couples. When our original GenNOW DJ had a family emergency and could no longer DJ our wedding, Tim immediately found us a new GenNOW DJ - and this is when we were introduced to DJ Matt. I don't have enough words to tell you how incredible Matt is! He is the most energetic, most caring, most bubbly, down-to-earth DJ there ever was. He immediately took my husband and I under his wing and would do anything to make us happy. By the end of the night, he was more like family to us than a vendor. Nonetheless, our dance floor was more like a club then a wedding and every single guest, young or old, was dancing all night long. To this day, people still say how much fun they had! Book GenNOW, ask for Matt, and you won't regret it!!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

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!

Hi, my name is Mitch! I grew up surrounded by music. I started playing saxophone in 5th grade and pretty much from then on music has encompassed my life. After graduating from college with a music degree and working in customer service for over 3 years, the thought of combining my passion for music and love of serving people always sounded too good to be true! My number one goal is to help you craft an unforgettable wedding, one note at a time! How do I do that? by getting to know you and catering to your likes and dislikes! Also with my secret weapon! (my saxophone)

We cannot express enough praise and gratitude for Mitch! We had the privilege of working with him for our wedding on 7/6/24. From preplanning meetings to the wedding day, Mitch was extremely on top of everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He also communicated with our other vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page! When we had our live acoustic guitarist back out somewhat suddenly, we reached out to Mitch for references. To our surprise, he offered us an even better idea to have him play sax and a friend play guitar at the ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved it and it brought a really special feel to the ceremony. On top of that, the energy he brings to MCing got our guests super excited and involved! Part of our package included having Mitch play Sax at the reception… JUST DO IT! It was so fun having him jump on the dance floor and interact with our guests! Mitch made our wedding a day to remember for all, and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you DJ Mitch!

When I was 16 years old I began to teach myself how to play guitar so that I could impress a girl that I had a huge crush on... she wasn't very impressed at the time. However, one day I was playing outside and a woman walking by asked my to sing in her wedding. That day change my entire life. I truly fell in love with music when I performed at that wedding, and have since made it my job to make every wedding day as special, and unforgettable as possible. (please email herwigmusic (at) gmail for booking-- sorry i can't put the actually email address in there...)

Our DJs are trained to create an epic dancefloor no matter what and we guarantee your guests will be saying "That was the best wedding reception....ever!"

I got married on June 15, and Mason was our DJ. He was absolutely amazing and made our wedding so much fun! I highly, highly recommend him. From our first meeting to the big day, he made everything so easy. We had multiple meetings to go over every detail, even things I hadn’t thought about (and I’m definitely Type A). So many friends and family members came up to me during and after the wedding to say how great he was and to ask for his information for future events. I honestly don’t have a single negative thing to say about him. Mason even got on the dance floor to teach some dances and was constantly helping with other wedding-related tasks besides the music, like making a schedule, helping with our slide show, watching over our raffle stuff and keeping it safe, helping tear up tickets, and so much more. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else there for that day! He was fantastic on the mic, keeping the energy high and ensuring everyone had a great time. The dance floor stayed full the entire night which was definitely a fear of mine but EVERYONE danced ALL NIGHT! Mason truly did an amazing job. If you’re looking for a DJ, I promise you, Mason is your guy!
