The day-of, they absolutely crushed it by reading the room and adapting the song choices and energy based on how our guests were responding. The music, emceeing, and photobooth they provided were high quality and kept everyone dancing all night long. We got so many compliments from our families about how fun, engaging, and talented they were.

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.

Trusted to open for Pauly D, Skrillex, and Ke$ha, by companies such as the CrossFit Games, Shape Magazine, and pro sports teams, Love Ent by Milk Majer is not a typical DJ company servicing weddings in Chicago, the Midwest, and nationwide. Love Ent by Milk Majer is the trendsetting DJ solution that helps you love your wedding. His energetic style, creative mixing ability, and crowd pleasing music selection will leave you and your guests talking about how much fun they had for years to come. 🙌🏼

Awarded Best of Zola
My coworker recommended me to DJ Milk Majer after having him play her wedding because she knew I would love his festival style mixing and she was so right. From the initial phone call it was clear that he was our guy. We both shared a love for electronic music and festivals and he was eager to play the songs we requested. Our wedding day came and the music was better than our wildest dreams. He was able to seamlessly mix in four of our parents requests (two slow songs, the Beatles, U2) as well as mix in other electronic music that fit our vibe. He even picked up on the fact that my husband and I both love Disney so he effortlessly mixed in two songs that surprised us and made us so happy. If you’re a couple that loves electronic music, look no further and hire this man. He was so flexible and willing to help make the entertainment exactly what we wanted and I’m confident that he would be able to play an incredible wedding with any genre playlist. He also provided uplighting, a custom light monogram, and a Photo Booth in our package that was absolutely top notch. We loved working with him and would hire him again in a heartbeat!

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.

A Special Event DJ & Photo Booth 

4.7

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

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.

ASEDJ was a blessing when our original band plan fell through. Shockingly they had availability just months before our wedding but that's due to them having several DJs on staff, not just one. The booking process was thorough - they schedule a call before booking where they provided plenty of info. After booking they provided a website to plan our timeline, must plays, and do not plays. Month of you're given a schedule and are eventually assigned a DJ. They offer a photobooth, dance floor, a DJ with a drummer, as well as wedding planning. Idk if they would have been our first choice when we began planning but they were extremely thorough and helpful when we needed them the most! Only complaint was they didn't come close to playing all of our "must" plays but otherwise a great vendor and well experienced in tons of Des Moines Metro venues which is a huge plus.

DJ Cox Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Serves West Des Moines, 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.

Megan and Logan were great to work with in the early stages, and then Ali & Drake took over about a month before! 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!

  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

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!

Would HIGHLY recommend PrayzHim Entertainment. Professional, prepared, detail-oriented, genuine, and hilarious are just a few words I would use to describe Andrew Spence and his team. Andrew flawlessly set up for an outdoor venue he had never been too, and everyone could hear our ceremony even with some sprinkles of rain and 15 mph winds! He worked together with our videographer to capture the audio for our video at both the ceremony and reception locations. At our reception, everyone had fun with the photo booth, dismissing of tables, and musical chairs scavenger hunt. My family normally does not dance at weddings, but he kept everyone out there the entire night. 10/10 would recommend PrayzHim Entertainment!!
