A Special Event DJ & Photo Booth 

4.7

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,295
  • Serves Menlo, IA

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 great part of our wedding day! The booking process was thorough and our venue preview with them was smooth and our questions were answered. The provided website with a timeline helped us truly navigate the smaller details of the day. The uplighting they provided set the mode perfectly. It was our DJ’s first Hindu Wedding and he tackled that challenge head on and did great. He was flexible getting our wedding back on schedule and adjusted to changes with ease.

DJ Obie 

5.0

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

What else can we say about DJ Obie? In our wedding planning we requested to have him as our DJ. I had mutual friends from college that knew him and had attended teacher trainings with his significant other. We were told we *might have him as our DJ but our purchase level wouldn’t guarantee it. We were so fortunate to realize we did in fact have him as our DJ. Even throughout the cocktail hour he was lively and entertaining guests. As the reception began, the power/sound went out multiple times, and he powered through. I truly have never seen a wedding DJ more positively encourage and engage guests. The dance floor was never empty, and DJ Obie joined us on the floor as the night went on. To this day I think his involvement in our wedding made it that much better.

Vows & Vibes was the BEST decision we made at our wedding! (Besides getting married of course lol) Chris and Jessie were fantastic. Chris is a phenomenal entertainer and Jessie was a godsend on our wedding day. She stepped up as a day of coordinator and made the day feel seamless and stress free. The venue ran into a few issues the day of and Jessie stepped in to make sure it got fixed before anyone noticed. The wedding guests knew where to be and when. She was fantastic! They both kept the party going from the ceremony to the reception. If you’re looking for a kick a** entertainer and an amazing day of coordinator to make your big day a party to remember, I would 1000% recommend booking with Vows & Vibes.

Our team of professionally trained DJs are here every step of the way from planning to execution to deliver a true experience for your guests. We perform. We entertain. We execute your vision.

Megan and Logan were great to work with in the early stages, and then Ali & Drake took over about a month before! They all were fantastic to work with and I could definitely tell that Ali & Drake were the best match for my wedding. I wasn't sure what to think about booking a company that matches a DJ to your wedding after booking, but they really did take the time to find what music style I liked and which DJ was going to vibe the best. Highly recommend!!!! The entire planning process was so easy with them and the online portal was so simple to use! They truly made my day exceptional!

The string trio and our DJ, Eric, were both amazing! They went above and beyond our expectations. I believe Eric may have even helped our family move table decoration boxes during setup! The ceremony set up was perfect, and we could hear every note and word through the mic, even through the wind gusts. We were hearing from guests all night about how lovely the string trio played and that they recognized a lot of the songs. They even helped get our shy flower girl up and dancing during cocktail hour! Eric was the best DJ we could ask for. He met us during cocktail hour to introduce himself and confirm entrances and bridal party names. He was so professional, but also fun and laid back. He played the perfect jazz set during dinner. We could even hear some people at tables nearby singing along to Frank Sinatra between courses! As with most weddings I’m sure, the timeline isn’t always concrete, but Eric made sure we didn’t stray too far without being pushy so that we still had time to visit guests before speeches and dancing. Being true millennials, we wanted to relive the glory days of the 2000s as part of our night so a lot of our song choice centered around that, but we also wanted to make sure our guests enjoyed open dancing too. Eric was great at accepting requests and his set was amazing. My 92 year old grandmother was on the dance floor for Dancing Queen and it is a memory I will never forget! Towards the end of the night, Eric played all our pop/punk songs and I don’t think the bridal party left the dance floor until the end. We are so happy that we chose you guys for our music. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better night. Everything Eric and the string trio did just exceeded our expectations and we will gladly recommend you all to anyone and everyone we know! Please send our heartfelt thanks and share our praises with the members of our string trio and Eric. They helped make our wedding perfect and we are so happy with the services. Thank you all again for an incredible and unforgettable night!
