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!

DJ Obie 

5.0

Moline, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Russell, 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.

Nicholas provides a level of professionalism and support that makes the big day go smoothly. He’s a DJ that wants to give you the experience you want on your big day….not just play his own playlist. Beyond cultivating an amazing dance floor experience, Nicholas helped us with best practices and suggestions for the reception. He kept the night on schedule but not in a forced way. He brings the hard skills and soft touch that make for an excellent DJ experience. There are many decisions I’d love to revisit but hiring Nicholas is not one of those.

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

High energy? Check. Crowd participation? Check. Hype set list? Check. Something Blu really delivers. They are organized and helped run the event from making announcements to passing around a mic for toasts. They learned a custom song for our first dance and then blew the roof off the place when it was time to open the dance floor. Months later, our friends and family are still raving. They really helped make our night one to remember.
