Alternative Wedding DJs 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,550
  • Serves Waterloo, NE

Stereotypical wedding DJs spoil the fun. They play the same songs (boring). There are gaps between songs (awkward). And they talk on the mic too much (obnoxious). We’re the alternative. We beat match & blend music (non-stop dancing) We use the mic appropriately (vibe isn’t ruined) We personalize the playlist with your input (you’ll love the music) If you say things like, “We’re having a non-traditional wedding!,” or “We need to blend our multicultural families,” or “I’ll die if my domineering future mother-in-law demands that the DJ to play her QVC album collection,” ... then we're for you!

I would like to start by saying. "WOW". I recently had the pleasure of hiring DJ Elliott Ness for my son's wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough about the remarkable job they did. From the beginning, DJ Ness demonstrated impressive detail orientation and professionalism that set the tone for an exceptional event. During our planning meetings, it was clear that we were in the hands of an experienced professional. The DJ Ness took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and specific needs for the wedding. His expertise shone through as he provided insightful suggestions and curated a playlist that perfectly matched the ambiance we wanted to create. Every detail, from the song selection to the timing of the announcements, was meticulously planned. On the day of the wedding, DJ Ness's performance exceeded all expectations. His engaging presence and ability to read the crowd kept the energy high throughout the ceremony and reception. Guests were consistently on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves, which is a testament to his talent for keeping the party lively and entertaining. His seamless transitions between songs and genres ensured that there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. The wedding was truly spectacular, and much of its success can be attributed to the DJ's genius and expertise. He not only played great music but also created an unforgettable experience that we and our guests will cherish forever. If you're looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, experienced, and capable of delivering an unforgettable wedding celebration, I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Elliott Ness!!!!

BrightSide Photography & Creative

  • Serves Waterloo, NE

I love working with couples and getting to know you better! My hope is to get to your wedding day and feel like we’re old friends (like, I'd make the cut and be invited to your wedding if I wasn't your photographer!). I'm definitely a people person, so if we end up working together, be prepared... I will chat your ear off! I'm not into super stiff, micromanaged posing, I'm much more laid back than that and think we get much better energy in photos when we can have fun together and you can be yourself!

We loved working with Cindy at our wedding this last summer!! We treasure all the wonderful moments that she captured on our big day! Her communication before the event was top notch, helping me walk through a timeline for the day and figuring out all the logistics of the photography aspects. My husband and I had such a fun time taking engagement pictures with her as well. Those pictures are too cute! On the big day, Cindy was so professional, friendly, and kind. She put everyone at ease. She was careful to get great pictures of all family and friends, and we are so thankful to have those. We love the way, she incorporates, real color and light to create such a warm and happy feeling in her photography. She does not blur out or fade out colors as some photographers do, and we are in love with the result. Our pictures have such a happy, bright feeling to them. We are so thankful we chose Brightside Creative to document our wedding day. Thank you Cindy for sharing your talents with us!

Our award-winning mixologists create bespoke beverages, while our culinary team prepares delectable bites, perfect for sharing. Experience the Mercury difference: unmatched service, flavorful cuisine, & creative cocktails. Contact us and let's create your dream wedding.

We hired Mercury to cater our wedding because we were already in love with their food and service from the countless visits to their shop. We didn’t know it was possible to like them more, but they totally blew us away for our wedding! Their chef helped us develop a menu that was interesting and unique to us, that still had the same quality and thoughtfulness that their everyday menu has. For drinks, they sat us down and through a series of questions they developed two signature cocktails that were unique to my wife and I, and they were a huge hit. There’s also nothing quite like ordering a drink named after yourself that is also perfectly tailored to what you like to drink. For the day of the wedding, they handled all the set up for food, drink, cutlery, plates and all that stuff, and handled clean up so we were free to enjoy the night. Truthfully, we met with almost every caterer in town and were completely unimpressed by their basic chicken, potatoes, and salad menus with huge pice tags. Mercury gave us a one-of-a-kind experience for our most special day, and they did it for a fair price. Thank you again, Mercury!!

Leo Ballroom 

4.5

Omaha, NE
  • Venue
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,000

An enchanting piece of Omaha history recently restored to its original 1924 prestige. The historic ballroom features stunning craftsmanship, glamourous chandeliers, and a seemingly unattainable atmosphere. This venue can host corporate and social events up to 350 guests and 500 cocktail style. Join us for an experience with our fully functioning stage, cocktail area, alluring foyer, and photo-ready balconies.

The Leo Ballroom was a beautiful venue for our wedding reception and provided a memorable setting for our special day. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice, though there were a few areas for improvement. Overall Impression: The Leo Ballroom is absolutely gorgeous. The updates to the main ballroom have elevated its elegance, and the speak-easy style bar with its rich wood details adds a classic touch. Initially, we weren’t considering this venue, but after seeing it in person, we were captivated and decided to book immediately. Size and Layout: The size and layout were well-suited to our needs. We had over 280 guests, and the space comfortably accommodated up to about 320. The layout worked well, with a separate bar room that allowed guests to move freely while still feeling connected to the main reception area. The temporary setup of buffet tables in the bar room for dinner was also effective. Decor and Ambiance: We appreciated the venue's ambiance, from the luxurious marble entryways to the electronically locked bridal party suites, which offered privacy and security. The venue was very clean, and there were numerous excellent spots for photos. Service and Staff: The staff were generally professional and helpful. Access to the venue the day before for setup was a significant advantage. Our wedding coordinator, Dahlia, did a good job overall, though we encountered a few minor issues, including some confusion about the champagne wall, issues with signature drink ingredients, and some discrepancies with the floor plan and guest counts. While these were resolved, it required additional effort. Catering and Facilities: We chose Attitude on Food, one of the venue’s preferred caterers, and the food was delicious and served hot. The facilities supported a smooth dining experience, though there was room for improvement in terms of overall coordination. Standout Features: The stage was ideal for our band, the Downtown Collective, and the private bridal party suites were a fantastic feature. Designing our signature cocktails—a blackberry-infused bourbon mule and a strawberry twist on a French 75—added a personal touch, and the bar kept them flowing throughout the night. Overall Experience: The Leo Ballroom provided a stunning backdrop for our wedding reception with its elegant design and accommodating facilities. Despite some minor issues and room for improvement, the venue's charm and functionality made our day special. We recommend the Leo Ballroom for anyone seeking an elegant and versatile venue for their event. Thank you to the Leo Ballroom team for contributing to our unforgettable wedding day!
