We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly. The band brought a highly professional yet fun energy that kept the party going. Their musicianship was top-notch and their song selection had something for all our guests to enjoy.

We specialize in making your wedding day the most epic celebration ever since 1998! Our passion for excellence is what sets us apart from the rest.

We provide a professional and polished performance that will keep your guests on the dance floor all night long. A DJ Sound Productions wedding is what every Bride desires! So what are you waiting for? Let’s create the wedding of your dreams and make it a party that nobody will ever forget!

DJs are expected to be perfect, every second they are working, every day. No other job has this expectation. We understood this and wanted a human DJ, not a robot. We wanted a DJ company that can follow what we wanted, what we put on the forms, a DJ to play our music, fill in great songs to match our taste and style, to pack the dance floor (we know this isn't a reasonable request as this relies on guests, not solely the DJ alone), a DJ that can pick music to encourage guests to dance, and show up on time and do not a perfect job, but amazing job. And this DJ did just that! Our fear was a dance that had poor music and no dancers. That's it. We've seen so many other DJ fail at this. Not this DJ company, they were amazing and exceeded all requirements above. The DJ was outstanding and worth every penny. And I loved that I could call the COMPANY at 10pm with questions. Knock out job and very well done. Highly recommend these amazing (not perfect) humans! :)

Noe at Viva La Fiesta did an absolutely incredible job as DJ and MC at our wedding. We had a few meetings with him prior to our special day where he came organized and prepared to discuss all of the important songs and overall vibe that we were going for. Our wedding was a beautiful mix of central Minnesota and South Texas cultures, and we expressed wanting the music to cater to all of our loved ones in attendance. We had cumbia, salsa, country, Chappel Roan, bachata and all of the fun music of today! It truly was perfect.

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!!!!!!

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!

During our consultation a few weeks before the wedding, he provided experienced insight and offered guidance where we asked. He took time to understand our music preferences, and he seamlessly blended our favorite tracks with crowd-pleasers, making sure there was something for everyone! He came early to set up and brought a top-notch sound system that provided clear audio throughout the venue. We didn’t have to worry about a thing because he was always on top of it.

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!

  • Serves Russell, MN for additional fees

When I was 16 years old I began to teach myself how to play guitar so that I could impress a girl that I had a huge crush on... she wasn't very impressed at the time. However, one day I was playing outside and a woman walking by asked my to sing in her wedding. That day change my entire life. I truly fell in love with music when I performed at that wedding, and have since made it my job to make every wedding day as special, and unforgettable as possible. (please email herwigmusic (at) gmail for booking-- sorry i can't put the actually email address in there...)

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer, I've experienced the impact vendor communication has on the overall perfection of a wedding day. I have had several opportunities to work along side Tyler Herwig and even though our wedding day roles are different Tyler's professionalism and attention to detail spills out inspiring everyone involved to go above and beyond. Knowing that Tyler is keeping guests entertained during happy hour helped my bride and groom relax while we took some time for a few post ceremony photos. Tyler easily makes the switch from ceremony accompaniment to happy hour melodies to filling the air with that perfect love song as the bride and groom dance their first dance. I highly recommend Tyler Herwig to create that perfect 'soundtrack' for your special day.
