Eden Ehm - Violin & Hardingfele 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Aplington, IA

I am a professional violinist and fiddler available to perform within the Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin tri-state area. (Note: my travel radius is within approximately a 60-minute drive of the tri-state.) A classically trained violinist for 30+ years, I play professionally in several area symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles and perform solo for special events. I have also played the Hardanger fiddle, Norway's national folk instrument, for 15+ years and am available to perform, demonstrate, and lecture about this unique instrument.

As a Hardanger fiddler, Eden is not only a masterful musician but an excellent educator as well, both introducing an instrument and musical repertoire that may be unfamiliar to the listener and providing tantalizing details for the aficionado. Her expertly presented programs are an invitation to a unique world of art, history, and culture extending from Norway to the Upper Midwest. Highly recommended.

DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Aplington, IA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
To us, the DJ was a critical part of our wedding reception. We wanted someone that would participate with us and our guests. OBIE was an instant hit! He has the type of personality that fits in with many. Whether it was the older couple who had the most years married or the younger generation... he has a way to connect and entertain. He checked in with us to be sure the "feel" was what we hoped for and was eager to please. We highly recommend Obie!!

  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Aplington, IA

Cole Thomas is a pianist, guitarist, and singer with the ability to perform any song for any part of your wedding. Need a classical piece for your wedding party to process in to? No problem. Need a few hours of lounge and jazz music for cocktail hour? Cole's your musician. Need a Dueling Piano act or full Rock Band for your reception? Look no further. With over a decade of experience performing for ceremonies and receptions, Cole Thomas is your one stop music vendor.

Cole absolutely delighted and exceeded our wildest expectations at our wedding. He embraced the costume theme of our reception, performed significantly more music than we had expected (in a good way), and was the absolute heart and soul of our party. He improvised and adapted to every unique situation on the night with a musical and social sense of awareness that we continue to be grateful for. He even graciously agreed to play alongside Andrea's 94 year old grandmother on her accordion. Grandma is still beaming from this experience, and trust me, she's a hard woman to please. Seriously. I don't think we can ever repay him for the joy and energy he brought to our night. I couldn't get to the bar for a drink without answering the question: "Where did you FIND this guy?!" half a dozen times.

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

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!
