Loved Milk Majer, it was truly an integral part of our day. Even leading up to it, he was professional, easy to work with and super great! That night he played all the hits, he made sure to take requests to keep our guests happy but still made sure they were in line with what we needed and wanted! His extra stuff like the ice sprinklers, and lights were such an added bonus! He was even better than we could have hoped for!

Tyler Herwig 

5.0

Eden Prairie, MN
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,500

When I was 16 years old I began to teach myself how to play guitar so that I could impress a girl that I had a huge crush on... she wasn't very impressed at the time. However, one day I was playing outside and a woman walking by asked my to sing in her wedding. That day change my entire life. I truly fell in love with music when I performed at that wedding, and have since made it my job to make every wedding day as special, and unforgettable as possible. (please email herwigmusic (at) gmail for booking-- sorry i can't put the actually email address in there...)

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer, I've experienced the impact vendor communication has on the overall perfection of a wedding day. I have had several opportunities to work along side Tyler Herwig and even though our wedding day roles are different Tyler's professionalism and attention to detail spills out inspiring everyone involved to go above and beyond. Knowing that Tyler is keeping guests entertained during happy hour helped my bride and groom relax while we took some time for a few post ceremony photos. Tyler easily makes the switch from ceremony accompaniment to happy hour melodies to filling the air with that perfect love song as the bride and groom dance their first dance. I highly recommend Tyler Herwig to create that perfect 'soundtrack' for your special day.

We hired GenerationNOW for our recent wedding and I can't express how amazing the entire experience was. The few conversations leading up to the wedding were professional and personal and they found out exactly what we wanted from our wedding. The booth and lighting was awesome and DJ Dudley D had the entire dancefloor rocking from beginning to end. He mixed in all of our favorite songs and the transitions were masterfully timed. Having a great DJ is such an important part of the big day and I can say with confidence this team is the best in the business. HIGHLY recommend to anyone who loves good music and dancing!

Percolators Band 

5.0

Minneapolis, MN
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,200

The Legendary percolators play refreshing “60’s on up” rock, country, R&B, pretty ballads, and requests. Trio (nice 3-part harmonies). Since 1992. Positive energy, engaging, fun. Self-sufficient with sound system & lights. Not too loud - just right.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wonderful experience with the Percolators who performed at our wedding reception. They provided us with a wide variety of song recommendations, allowing us to pick just the right feel for our event. They are very versatile and do a great job of "reading the crowd" to know when to speed things up or slow them down, and they bring so much fun to their performance. They also confirmed all of the logistics directly with the venue and were timely in their set-up and take down, allowing us to focus on our special day instead of worrying about the behind the scenes needs. We highly recommend them!

Golden Touch DJ Entertainment

Plymouth, MN
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400

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!

He did a great job at my sister’s wedding a couple of years ago so we were excited to have him DJ our wedding as well! He was SO thorough & prepared, and he was such a big reason that our day went so smoothly. I had such peace of mind on our wedding day because he was doing so much behind the scenes. The audio during the ceremony & speeches, his announcements, and the reception music were all so great! He definitely knows the music that keeps people on the dance floor. He was also very flexible to make our first dance happen outside (with the rest of the dance happening inside) which we were very grateful for! I would definitely recommend him/trustworthy music to anyone getting married!

“WHEN I’M BEHIND THE BOARD, MUSIC IS MY VOICE, MY WAY TO CONNECT WITH THE CROWD. WHEN EVERYTHING CLICKS, NOTHING BEATS THE SYNERGY THAT’S ACHIEVED.” That’s Steve’s favorite thing about being a DJ; the shared experience that comes with performing at events. Steve describes himself as “hands-on.” “I thoroughly enjoy playing the director’s role when doing these events. From the first announcement over the microphone until my ‘See ya!’ to send everyone home, there’s a lot of pleasure that goes with commanding the room. While these events are serious business, there’s nothing saying that you can’t have fun with it.”

DJ DAS Entertainment is dedicated to offering the highest quality DJ services with style, elegance, and knowledge.

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ DAS is one of our very favorite DJS. As a Venue Owner it is very important that the DJ our Booked Couples hire make their guests enjoy the evening. After 50 wedding+ we know that all DJS are not created equal. When we view our Booked Couples Wedding Planner they submit to us a few weeks before the wedding there are 2 places we quickly glance at to determine it is going to be a good event. The first is the caterer and the second is the DJ. If their DJ spot says "DJ DAS" then we know its going to be a good wedding reception. Because when DJ DAS is in the house everyone is happy!

Ellsworth, WI

  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Dayton, MN for additional fees

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)

DJ Mitch far exceeded our expectations! He kept the dance floor going all night and our guests absolutely loved his energy and song choices. We also booked the Saxophone package and are so glad we did. It added so much to our overall wedding experience and again, the guests and ourselves loved it. Mitch was reasonably priced, organized, and listened to all our wants and concerns, and adjusted accordingly. We would highly recommend DJ Mitch for your wedding!!!

I’ve know Tony for a few years as a regular at his Karaoke gigs around town. I was so happy to see he opened his own business doing something he’s so good at! Tony brings the fun! His personality is easy going and appreciates all those he comes into contact with. He enjoys being a part of the event and will make it one to remember. He has a great knowledge of music and will do what he can to make sure he has what you need. Get him now because he’s going to be one everyone wants!
