The Downtown Collective 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $6,800
  • Serves Garland, NE

The Downtown Collective Band was established in 2016 as just a couple of guys who wanted to jam out in the attic. We got some small gigs here and there doing hybrid DJ/live music performances. Then we found friends from music school/work that played instruments and made the jam bigger and got more gigs. Now we are known as one of the top bands in the Midwest. We love playing live music because you get a much more authentic experience with people actually playing instruments and sharing what they feel deep down in their soul as they perform! All of our past clients agree- Downtown Collective is a high energy group that gets everyone dancing!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Downtown Collective was absolutely outstanding and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their communication was excellent and professional from start to finish. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the energy was amazing, their vocals were outstanding, and they were a true class act. Our guests raved about them all night long. Behind the scenes, they were communicative and great to work with. This band nailed it, and the energy was insane. If you're thinking of booking them, do it now - you'll be so thankful you did. Thank you, Downtown Collective, for helping us throw an amazing celebration!

Alternative Wedding DJs 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,550
  • Serves Garland, NE

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!!!!

  • Serves Garland, NE

HiMotive Entertainment is a Event/Wedding entertainment service company operating out of North Carolina. From highly skilled photographers to DJs, Our ultimate goal is to handle all of your audio-visual needs.

Overall our experience working with DJ David Malachi was absolutely excellent. He was extremely reasonably priced, was more than willing to work with us about setting up payment installments, and the app uses for couples to set up what songs they want to be played at the reception made it overall not only very easy but actually fun to put together something that might’ve been stressful otherwise. David was charming and responsive the entire process of booking and paying. And on the day of, the dance floor was absolutely a party, he did a great job taking certain requests and mixing the songs together while also keeping it pumped up but family friendly! He also went above and beyond to help the timeline be on track during the reception, going out of his way to help call tables and pull a game together of his own making, which got the crowd involved and was so much fun. He was constantly asking me and my husband what we needed and was down to do to be helpful. I would definitely work with him again if given the opportunity!!

A Special Event DJ & Photo Booth 

4.7

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295
  • Serves Garland, NE

Born from a long time love of music, an entrepreneurial spirt, and an eye for design and organization ASE DJ was started 18 years ago. Tim, a musician and savvy entrepreneur immediately saw a need in the DJ industry for a professional approach to great weddings and with Missi’s eye for design, organization, and marketing they have grown to be the midwest’s most requested Wedding Entertainment Company with 3 locations and an amazing team of people. A true "American Dream” story; their once “side hustle” has blossomed into a full time growing business that also employs their children and is still sparking their creativity to this day.

ASEDJ was a blessing when our original band plan fell through. Shockingly they had availability just months before our wedding but that's due to them having several DJs on staff, not just one. The booking process was thorough - they schedule a call before booking where they provided plenty of info. After booking they provided a website to plan our timeline, must plays, and do not plays. Month of you're given a schedule and are eventually assigned a DJ. They offer a photobooth, dance floor, a DJ with a drummer, as well as wedding planning. Idk if they would have been our first choice when we began planning but they were extremely thorough and helpful when we needed them the most! Only complaint was they didn't come close to playing all of our "must" plays but otherwise a great vendor and well experienced in tons of Des Moines Metro venues which is a huge plus.

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Garland, NE

Griffin and the Gargoyles is St. Louis’ premier high-energy party and dance band. Having won the 2020 St. Louis Post Dispatch’s “Readers Choice Favorite Band” award as well as the “Best Wedding Band” by the Perfect Wedding Guide’s Vendors’ Choice Awards six years in a row, musicianship and style is the reason Griffin and the Gargoyles has played to packed houses for many years. Their extensive play-list and freshness keeps the crowds coming back for more.

Griffin & The Gargoyles came together last minute to play at our wedding. We had another band lined up that canceled five days prior and while I was upset at the time, I lucked out! They are hands down the best, most fun and entertaining band you could hire! They will get the dance floor moving and it will be a blast all night long! Look no further. If you are reading this, then you should take my advice and book them already!

I am so glad I found Aloha Erica and booked her to provide the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Erica listened to my vision for the ceremony music and brought it to life with beautiful renditions of the songs we picked. Erica also alleviated the stress of ensuring that the music cues/changes would work and were timed correctly.

Wild Faith (Leonardo Armijo) 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,888
  • Serves Garland, NE for additional fees

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.
