So what are you waiting for? Let’s create the wedding of your dreams and make it a party that nobody will ever forget!

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!

  • Serves Cokato, MN

We are a personalized Wedding DJ company based out of Becker Mn. We help you plan your wedding from day one. Our goal is to have you trust our DJ 100% BEFORE your wedding day. Then of course rock the party at your wedding.

Nicholas Thomas Entertainment was fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was exceptional - they were always checking in to see if we had any questions or needed help with anything music-related. On the day of our wedding, their DJ was so in tune with our favorite songs and kept the dance floor packed all night long. The only minor downside was that our social hour location wasn't able to have music, but overall their service and value was fantastic. I'd give them a 9/10 rating and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding entertainment team.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $695
  • Serves Cokato, MN

I’ve done over 3000 weddings, and this experience pays off in many ways, from musical knowledge to skills required to mix the music in exciting ways. As I “read the room” I take requests, and time the playing of each track based on YOUR taste in music- I guarantee to follow your “must play” list, “do not play” list. Unlimited, personal planning time is included with me, personally, who will be your actual DJ (not a subcontractor).

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!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

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!!

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.
