The Wedding DJ

I absolutely enjoy what I do, I've been providing solid high quality entertainment to couples all over the state of Iowa for almost 40 years! I started my DJ career in 1984 in Davenport Iowa, at that time I was using two turntables and had to haul big heavy crates of LPs with me. Now I use 2 specifically dedicated laptop computers that hold nearly 100,000 songs, wow isn't technology great!

Awarded Best of Zola
Marquee Events (Tyson) was so wonderful to work with. He walked us through every stage of the process, and he had great suggestions for what he has seen work for others in the past. He wasn't pushy about his add ons, but we knew that we could customize things the way that we wanted. He was professional and helpful, and everyone commented on how great the DJ was at the reception. I would definitely recommend Marquee Events for any gathering!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ DAS is one of our very favorite DJS. As a Venue Owner it is very important that the DJ our Booked Couples hire make their guests enjoy the evening. After 50 wedding+ we know that all DJS are not created equal. When we view our Booked Couples Wedding Planner they submit to us a few weeks before the wedding there are 2 places we quickly glance at to determine it is going to be a good event. The first is the caterer and the second is the DJ. If their DJ spot says "DJ DAS" then we know its going to be a good wedding reception. Because when DJ DAS is in the house everyone is happy!

  • DJ

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Chris and Jessie of Vows & Vibes on a project where they set up an event to do what they do best: throw a great party. Not only is Chris an incredibly talented performer, but a very thoughtful person—even though I was just the photographer, he was sure to ask my what my favorite song was so he could play it during the festivities! And Jessie is such a bright, bubbly person, it was such a joy to watch her whisk around the dance floor getting to know people and hyping everyone up. They were both so easy to talk to and I enjoyed spending time with them throughout the evening. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a different, fun reception experience!

DJ Obie

5.0

Moline, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves West Des Moines, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
To us, the DJ was a critical part of our wedding reception. We wanted someone that would participate with us and our guests. OBIE was an instant hit! He has the type of personality that fits in with many. Whether it was the older couple who had the most years married or the younger generation... he has a way to connect and entertain. He checked in with us to be sure the "feel" was what we hoped for and was eager to please. We highly recommend Obie!!

Oh what a night! Indigo was amazing! Our wedding guests were so impressed with them - from the jazz trio during dinner to the high energy music that kept everyone on the dance floor. Kendall knows how to start a party and keep it going until the end of the evening! Their range of music and ability to play to our guests was so impressive. We are so glad that we decided to select the 11 piece band - the horn section was fantastic! And then they ended the evening with a private dance for the bride and groom that was so special. They are definitely a five star band! A big thanks to Kendall and Indigo for a very special evening!
