Alternative Wedding DJs

Stereotypical wedding DJs spoil the fun. They play the same songs (boring). There are gaps between songs (awkward). And they talk on the mic too much (obnoxious). We’re the alternative. We beat match & blend music (non-stop dancing) We use the mic appropriately (vibe isn’t ruined) We personalize the playlist with your input (you’ll love the music) If you say things like, “We’re having a non-traditional wedding!,” or “We need to blend our multicultural families,” or “I’ll die if my domineering future mother-in-law demands that the DJ to play her QVC album collection,” ... then we're for you!

I would like to start by saying. "WOW". I recently had the pleasure of hiring DJ Elliott Ness for my son's wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough about the remarkable job they did. From the beginning, DJ Ness demonstrated impressive detail orientation and professionalism that set the tone for an exceptional event. During our planning meetings, it was clear that we were in the hands of an experienced professional. The DJ Ness took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and specific needs for the wedding. His expertise shone through as he provided insightful suggestions and curated a playlist that perfectly matched the ambiance we wanted to create. Every detail, from the song selection to the timing of the announcements, was meticulously planned. On the day of the wedding, DJ Ness's performance exceeded all expectations. His engaging presence and ability to read the crowd kept the energy high throughout the ceremony and reception. Guests were consistently on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves, which is a testament to his talent for keeping the party lively and entertaining. His seamless transitions between songs and genres ensured that there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. The wedding was truly spectacular, and much of its success can be attributed to the DJ's genius and expertise. He not only played great music but also created an unforgettable experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. If you're looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, experienced, and capable of delivering an unforgettable wedding celebration, I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Elliott Ness!!!!

DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Dunlap, 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.

I booked Obie for my wedding on April 7. I knew there were multiple moving parts to making a wedding successful. However, I did not realize the magnitude of having a great DJ and MC until I had DJ Obie for both. I was incredibly impressed on how professional he was from the very beginning. From my past experience, many DJs were happy to be picked and paid for a job. DJ Obie was different. He not only appreciated taking on the job, but he strived to ensure that the wedding would be a moment to remember, and without a doubt, he accomplished that. During the wedding and days after, I continually heard my (and my wife’s friends) say that DJ Obie did an incredible job. Without a doubt, it’s the best job that I experienced and I look forward to working with you again. Thank you so much for making this a moment to remember.

50+ 5-star reviews across major event platforms, and brand new to Zola! My name is Ryan Shephard, and I'm an artist from Cincinnati, OH, (Now located in Chicago, IL) with a large repertoire of experience ranging in a wide variety of musical genres and endeavors including working with and sharing the stage with bands and artists like Sublime with Rome, Richie Ramone of The Ramones, and Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show.

From the moment we booked Ryan Shephard for our wedding, he was incredibly responsive, quick to answer any questions, and made the entire process easy. On the day of the wedding, Ryan was exactly what we had hoped for - he seamlessly executed our special requests beforehand and took requests from our guests all night long. My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him. I cannot recommend Ryan Shephard enough - he was truly amazing and played a big part in making our wedding day so special.
