From the moment we booked Boogie Time Entertainment, their communication was spectacular. The team was incredibly responsive and worked closely with us to understand our music preferences and wedding vibe. On the big day, their performance was nothing short of amazing - the dance floor was packed all night as they played a great mix of upbeat hits and our personalized song requests. The sound quality was fantastic, and our guests raved about the energy and variety of the music. Boogie Time Entertainment truly helped make our wedding an unforgettable celebration.

SoundFire DJ 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,495
  • Serves Maplewood, WI

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 amazing results and a touch of class!

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!

We hired Will Nye The DJ Guy for our wedding reception and were matched with Josh. We couldn't be happier with the service he provided. From the moment we first reached out, he responded quickly and had a warm, caring attitude that put us at ease. Josh truly listened to our vision for the music and played all the right songs to keep our guests dancing all night long.

  • Serves Maplewood, WI

Sound Dimensions Disc Jockeys™ is an Award Winning DJ service that is creative in our approach to your wedding. Offering a variety of main services including DJs, MCs, Uplighting Design and Photobooth solutions. Extensive planning to understand your personalities, expectations and your guests.

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!

Exceptional Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Maplewood, WI

Founded in 2019 by our owner, Joe Nagan, Exceptional Entertainment is quickly becoming a well-known name in the entertainment industry. Joe has a strong passion for music having attended UW-Oshkosh for Music Engineering and traveling the world performing since a young age with various chorale groups. Booking Exceptional Entertainment is much more than just hiring a person to play some music. Our fantastic DJs are there to help you every step of the way. We provide so much more than just music and lighting, we provide an experience for you and your guests to enjoy and remember.

Awarded Best of Zola
This is your DJ. Without a doubt one of the best decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding was hiring Exceptional Entertainment. We worked with Joe, and he was very communicative. He was the vendor we met with the most, and even though that may sound excessive for a DJ, it really isn't. The DJ is the life of the party for a wedding, so it's 100% worth it to invest the time & money into it if you and your guests want to have a great night. Joe did a phenomenal job with the transitions and kept people out on the dance floor. We also had their Photo Booth services and it was a hit with the guests. The picture quality was great and guests could get a copy sent to their phones immediately after. Another cool add-on they offer are their cold spark machines. If you're looking for an alternative to the sparkler exit, these have the same affect in wedding photos but less of the chaos of having to organize and manage all of your guests with sparklers. They were beautiful and definitely added a "wow factor" to the night. Overall, it truly was the best night of my life and I have Joe to thank for playing such a vital part to that. (P.S. if this wasn't enough to help convince you, three of my wedding guests actually booked with Exceptional Entertainment soon after for their own weddings because of how much fun they had!)

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.
