Boogie Time Entertainment

  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Bark River, MI

We've been in business for nearly 50 years. The original owner recently retired and Matt, a lead BTE DJ for nearly a decade, made the decision to continue the legacy. We have rocked weddings across multiple states, for all types of crowds, and have done it in every imaginable environment.

Huge shout out to Boogie Time Entertainment and Matthew Brulla for making our special day absolutely perfect! From the moment we contacted him to the day of the event, Matt was always just a text away and always answered immediately. Matt is also an extremely talented musician in his own way and always puts his own little spin on every event. We loved that he could make every little thing feel even more special. From the speeches, calling out my maid of honor when she told him that she was so nervous that she was gonna herself, and letting me playing music with my Pringle covered fingers . I could not recommend a better DJ, it’s a relationship that we will cherish forever. Thank you again so much ! .

Turn It Up Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Bark River, MI

We are your DJ and wedding service for all of Wisconsin. I am a drummer, growing up I played percussion in school, marched and played jazz band in high school. I was a drummer for a few different bands locally in the Upper Peninsula playing covers (rock/heavy metal) and gigged for a few years while going to college. I am a multi-genre music lover and all-around people person, I absolutely love playing music watching people dance and enjoy themselves. Music is a passion of mine and I take great pride in providing a quality music experience for each customer and event.

They are an amazing couple to work with. They had our dance floor full the whole night. They did everything we asked and more. They are easy to work with and respond back pretty quick. They both are super nice and fun and easy to get along with. We loved working with them for our wedding. We made last minute changes to some stuff and they understood completely and we’re there to help. They offered their suggestions as well to some things we talked about and it was super helpful and gave us things to think about. We highly recommend them to any couple who is looking for a great DJ.

Soundfire Dj 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,495
  • Serves Bark River, MI

When it has to be "once-in-a-lifetime". SoundFire DJ was established with a single goal in mind: to bring the next-level DJ experience to the Northeast Wisconsin market. A market that has otherwise only experienced DJs that emulated the radio, or what a regular person could do with an iPod. Now, more than ever, having a big music library isn't what matters about a DJ. It's about having a creative professional that knows how to lead a party, and bring it to a successful outcome with some class and pizazz!

Soundfire DJ did an exceptional job with our wedding on July 11, 2020 in Door County. The detail and hard work that was put into our ceremony and reception was really what put SFDJ above any other wedding DJ I have experienced. Shawn was excellent with talking to our guests and staying open to schedule changes throughout the night. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire wedding and was super fun and brought a great energy! Tyler’s music was amazing. I loved that he fused a bunch of songs that we requested together to make it more fun. He read the room and would play slow songs or fast songs at perfect times. Requests were always granted and they had an awesome selection of songs available. I loved that we were able to make playlists beforehand with their easy-to-use website. I also appreciated that we would get monthly emails with general wedding reminders of what is typically done that month during wedding planning. That was super helpful for myself who did not hire a wedding planner and had zero experience with planning events. SFDJ truly helped make our special day absolutely perfect, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since our wedding in 2020, we have been to several weddings of our friends and family that used SFDJ simply because of the experience they had at our wedding! I look forward to going to other events in the future with you guys!

Let us create a distinguished, memorable experience for you...on the "biggest stage" of all... your wedding day! Most importantly, let's make your event Uniquely Original™!

Sound Dimensions was worth every penny! When we started looking for a DJ service for our wedding, most were not personal and just sent us a quote without getting any detail except the date and location. Joe at Sound Dimensions asked to talk first to make sure they were quoting us what we needed. After that first phone call my mind was made up. Joe spent time getting to know us, our style and what we wanted. The in-depth meeting prior to the wedding to go over details really highlighted how detail oriented the team is and how much they cared about us! We had ceremony music as well as dinner music and our reception. The ceremony site was a small location and the sound was incredible and they set it up as to not take up any of the limited seating room. Through our night Joe and Kory made sure everything ran smoothly. They kept it fun and moving and completely tailored to our taste. I so much appreciated that Kory checked in with me through the night to make sure things were going well. I can't stress enough how important having an experienced, talented DJ that truly cares makes such a big difference! This was an easy choice to make and I would recommend them to anyone!

We had such a great experience working with Joe at Exceptional Entertainment. He was very organized and laid things out for us so clearly when we first met, and he responded very quickly. We hired him pretty shortly after that. From then on, he was there to answer questions and provide resources throughout our wedding planning process. When the wedding got closer, we met a few times to go over everything for the wedding so I didn't have anything to worry about. The online portal he uses made things simple and organized. Our guests and ourselves were on the dance floor the entire night. People had so much fun and every time I looked at Joe, he was engaged in his work with a smile on his face the whole time, having a great time. I highly recommend and can't say enough great things!

Me and my now Wife found William through Zola. He was very professional and very flexible as our wedding was on a private beach home and completely put together by Her and I and a couple family members. Needless to say, William was the most stress free part of our wedding planning, despite having to travel 3 hours and additionally having to learn a custom wedding song for us. I would fully recommend him to anyone needing a reliable, legit, and reasonably priced Musician!

The string trio and our DJ, Eric, were both amazing! They went above and beyond our expectations. I believe Eric may have even helped our family move table decoration boxes during setup! The ceremony set up was perfect, and we could hear every note and word through the mic, even through the wind gusts. We were hearing from guests all night about how lovely the string trio played and that they recognized a lot of the songs. They even helped get our shy flower girl up and dancing during cocktail hour! Eric was the best DJ we could ask for. He met us during cocktail hour to introduce himself and confirm entrances and bridal party names. He was so professional, but also fun and laid back. He played the perfect jazz set during dinner. We could even hear some people at tables nearby singing along to Frank Sinatra between courses! As with most weddings I’m sure, the timeline isn’t always concrete, but Eric made sure we didn’t stray too far without being pushy so that we still had time to visit guests before speeches and dancing. Being true millennials, we wanted to relive the glory days of the 2000s as part of our night so a lot of our song choice centered around that, but we also wanted to make sure our guests enjoyed open dancing too. Eric was great at accepting requests and his set was amazing. My 92 year old grandmother was on the dance floor for Dancing Queen and it is a memory I will never forget! Towards the end of the night, Eric played all our pop/punk songs and I don’t think the bridal party left the dance floor until the end. We are so happy that we chose you guys for our music. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better night. Everything Eric and the string trio did just exceeded our expectations and we will gladly recommend you all to anyone and everyone we know! Please send our heartfelt thanks and share our praises with the members of our string trio and Eric. They helped make our wedding perfect and we are so happy with the services.

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!
