We had not one, but TWO other DJs cancel on us. We were getting deflated, frustrated, and losing money on DJs that would take our deposits and run. We even tried a "popular" service to find, it was a horrible match. The other, took outlr deposit and never spoke to us again. So for the 3rd try, (sadly shoulda went with them first) we called back these guys. We did check them out at first, but we're convinced cheaper was better. Nope. We learnt a lesson, a hard lesson. DJ Sound and Luke took us in battered, beaten, feeling defeated, and turned it all around. The planning with then made us feel at ease, and comfortable, and safe. They got our ides onto the forms, and the DJ was outstanding. It's like he knew our families and had the perfect songs picked and played. I'm not sure how they do it....but every time I reied to get off the dance floor, I had to turn around and gat back on because another awesome song was starting to play. Because I was on the dance floor all night with my friends, I missed some family connections, but I don't care, I'll see them at the holidays......it was MY night! DJ Sound taught me a few things. Patients, that great isn't cheap, and cheap isn't great, and that actually, they they were able to show my and my fiance love when we were beat down, hopeless, and discouraged. No jusgement from them, not even any talk about the other guys, they just hit the ground running. This company and all their employees are a blessing and we couldn't be more thank full. Highly recommend, but most of all, thank you for everything, it was an epic day.....just like you guaranteed!

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!!

Golden Touch DJ Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Akeley, 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.

Harmon Entertainment is everything they advertise and more. We worked with Anthony as our DJ and Ethan for our Videographer. The planning process Harmon uses is so detailed - they note your vendors so that they can communicate with them to make sure your wedding day goes smoothly. They go through each step of the day to make sure all of the songs are picked out and it essentially helps you to make sure all the fine details of your day are figured out. It even narrows it down to an estimated timeline at the end. Once we finished our detailed meeting with Anthony, it felt like everything else just fell into place. The night of the wedding was so much fun and the dance floor kept going until the very end. I am so glad that we went with Anthony and Harmon Entertainment, you won't be disappointed!

Guy Michel Music 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Akeley, MN for additional fees

I perform on an electric cello that lets me move freely and interact directly with your guests, adding a dynamic and personal touch to the event. With a keen ability to read the room, I adjust the music in real time to create the perfect atmosphere, ensuring an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Mr. Michel is definitely a smooth operator. He knows how to work a room well. He knows how to get people to engage, and he knows when to blend into the background. He doesn’t act like a rockstar, even tho he easily could demand that type of attention based on his accomplishments. Simply a pleasure to work with.
