Alternative Wedding DJs 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,550
  • Serves Waterloo, NE

Stereotypical wedding DJs spoil the fun. They play the same songs (boring). There are gaps between songs (awkward). And they talk on the mic too much (obnoxious). We’re the alternative. We beat match & blend music (non-stop dancing) We use the mic appropriately (vibe isn’t ruined) We personalize the playlist with your input (you’ll love the music) If you say things like, “We’re having a non-traditional wedding!,” or “We need to blend our multicultural families,” or “I’ll die if my domineering future mother-in-law demands that the DJ to play her QVC album collection,” ... then we're for you!

I would like to start by saying. "WOW". I recently had the pleasure of hiring DJ Elliott Ness for my son's wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough about the remarkable job they did. From the beginning, DJ Ness demonstrated impressive detail orientation and professionalism that set the tone for an exceptional event. During our planning meetings, it was clear that we were in the hands of an experienced professional. The DJ Ness took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and specific needs for the wedding. His expertise shone through as he provided insightful suggestions and curated a playlist that perfectly matched the ambiance we wanted to create. Every detail, from the song selection to the timing of the announcements, was meticulously planned. On the day of the wedding, DJ Ness's performance exceeded all expectations. His engaging presence and ability to read the crowd kept the energy high throughout the ceremony and reception. Guests were consistently on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves, which is a testament to his talent for keeping the party lively and entertaining. His seamless transitions between songs and genres ensured that there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. The wedding was truly spectacular, and much of its success can be attributed to the DJ's genius and expertise. He not only played great music but also created an unforgettable experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. If you're looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, experienced, and capable of delivering an unforgettable wedding celebration, I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Elliott Ness!!!!

James was as professional as they come and did an amazing job on our wedding photos! He worked with us to create a package that worked for us, made sure he really understood what type of photos we were looking for and that it was within his expertise. We wanted more action shots than staged photos and he captured so many people perfectly in their element as if he’d know all of us for years. When it came to the staged photos, they also came out incredible! The group photos look very much like they were taken in a studio and the bride and groom photos look so natural and beautiful!

  • Serves Waterloo, NE

I love working with couples and getting to know you better! My hope is to get to your wedding day and feel like we’re old friends (like, I'd make the cut and be invited to your wedding if I wasn't your photographer!). I'm definitely a people person, so if we end up working together, be prepared... I will chat your ear off! I'm not into super stiff, micromanaged posing, I'm much more laid back than that and think we get much better energy in photos when we can have fun together and you can be yourself!

Cindy did such a great job with our engagement wedding pictures. We met over zoom to see if she was a good fit and then scheduled her for our date a few days later. Cindy is easy going and has a quick turn around for pictures! I also appreciated being able to make payments for our sessions. Thank you Cindy for capturing our big day- these are photos that we will cherish forever!

If you love having fun, looking on the bright side of life, and living joyously then we might be a good match.

Awarded Best of Zola
Caitlin did a phenomenal job coaching us throughout our engagement session while still letting us be ourselves. Her personality is perfect because she makes you feel important and special, but never stopped making us laugh, which helped with the nerves. Our engagement photo session happened to fall on a super windy day that ended in rain, and I was incredibly nervous that our photos wouldn't turn out. However, Caitlin worked her magic and returned the photos even better than I could have imagined! Her adaptability, creativity, and technical skills are truly impressive. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer!

Let's get to know each other! I'll just start off with saying, it is underestimated how valuable it is to truly know your photographer and figure out if you vibe or not! Your photographer is around pretty much all day for the biggest celebration of your life. Meaning, it is important to have a photog who is genuinely excited, caring, and full of Christ like assuring words that will lift you up! I would encourage you to scroll down or inquire on my contact page if thats the kinda gal you're looking for to document your love story ;)

The sweetest soul and a great photographer!!! The pictures turned out amazing and she is quick and timely to get your photos returned after shooting. She gives great direction and helps you feel comfortable.

The Leo Ballroom was a beautiful venue for our wedding reception and provided a memorable setting for our special day. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice, though there were a few areas for improvement. Overall Impression: The Leo Ballroom is absolutely gorgeous. The updates to the main ballroom have elevated its elegance, and the speak-easy style bar with its rich wood details adds a classic touch. Initially, we weren’t considering this venue, but after seeing it in person, we were captivated and decided to book immediately. Size and Layout: The size and layout were well-suited to our needs. We had over 280 guests, and the space comfortably accommodated up to about 320. The layout worked well, with a separate bar room that allowed guests to move freely while still feeling connected to the main reception area. The temporary setup of buffet tables in the bar room for dinner was also effective. Decor and Ambiance: We appreciated the venue's ambiance, from the luxurious marble entryways to the electronically locked bridal party suites, which offered privacy and security. The venue was very clean, and there were numerous excellent spots for photos. Service and Staff: The staff were generally professional and helpful. Access to the venue the day before for setup was a significant advantage. Our wedding coordinator, Dahlia, did a good job overall, though we encountered a few minor issues, including some confusion about the champagne wall, issues with signature drink ingredients, and some discrepancies with the floor plan and guest counts. While these were resolved, it required additional effort. Catering and Facilities: We chose Attitude on Food, one of the venue’s preferred caterers, and the food was delicious and served hot. The facilities supported a smooth dining experience, though there was room for improvement in terms of overall coordination. Standout Features: The stage was ideal for our band, the Downtown Collective, and the private bridal party suites were a fantastic feature. Designing our signature cocktails—a blackberry-infused bourbon mule and a strawberry twist on a French 75—added a personal touch, and the bar kept them flowing throughout the night. Overall Experience: The Leo Ballroom provided a stunning backdrop for our wedding reception with its elegant design and accommodating facilities. Despite some minor issues and room for improvement, the venue's charm and functionality made our day special. We recommend the Leo Ballroom for anyone seeking an elegant and versatile venue for their event. Thank you to the Leo Ballroom team for contributing to our unforgettable wedding day!
