Harmony was founded when we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding. We realized that the ideal DJ is someone who is passionate, experienced, and talented.

We get that you're searching for that too... ​ By focusing on your entertainment experience, we have grown into an award-winning boutique of DJs. Our passion is to bring people together through music and dancing. We'd love to hear your story & vision, and give you the ultimate entertainment experience.

Josh was absolutely AMAZING to work with. Honestly I cannot say enough good things. My husband and I have been to many weddings, and one thing we have learned is that the DJ/dance floor can make or break the night -- Harmony DJ DID NOT DISAPPOINT. They kept the party going the entire time.

DJ Mitch Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Monticello, MN

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)

We cannot express enough praise and gratitude for Mitch! We had the privilege of working with him for our wedding on 7/6/24. From preplanning meetings to the wedding day, Mitch was extremely on top of everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He also communicated with our other vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page! When we had our live acoustic guitarist back out somewhat suddenly, we reached out to Mitch for references. To our surprise, he offered us an even better idea to have him play sax and a friend play guitar at the ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved it and it brought a really special feel to the ceremony. On top of that, the energy he brings to MCing got our guests super excited and involved! Part of our package included having Mitch play Sax at the reception… JUST DO IT! It was so fun having him jump on the dance floor and interact with our guests! Mitch made our wedding a day to remember for all, and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you DJ Mitch!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. 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. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

DJ Low with GenerationNOW was PERFECT!!!!! He was so accommodating and sweet to us throughout the entire process. He never made us feel rushed, or pressured to do things a certain way. He supported our music taste and had great song recommendations in every genre. During dinner, we threw a last minute curveball at him to DJ a game we played with all the tables, and he executed it perfectly on the fly. His emceeing was perfect and got the crowd hyped! Just the perfect amount of talking on the mic and only when necessary and when additive. I still have "GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR BRIDES!" stuck in my head in DJ Low's voice, and I love it because he provided the best party we could've ever asked for. GenNow was worth the extra money because they deliver on their promise of a dang good party. My people were JAMMING!!!!!!

With over a decade of experience performing for ceremonies and receptions, Cole Thomas is your one stop music vendor.

Cole absolutely delighted and exceeded our wildest expectations at our wedding. He embraced the costume theme of our reception, performed significantly more music than we had expected (in a good way), and was the absolute heart and soul of our party. He improvised and adapted to every unique situation on the night with a musical and social sense of awareness that we continue to be grateful for. He even graciously agreed to play alongside Andrea's 94 year old grandmother on her accordion. Grandma is still beaming from this experience, and trust me, she's a hard woman to please. Seriously. I don't think we can ever repay him for the joy and energy he brought to our night. I couldn't get to the bar for a drink without answering the question: "Where did you FIND this guy?!" half a dozen times.

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!
