Instant Request

What Clients Are Saying

Justin and Elizabeth 9/28/19 – St. Paul College Club (Ray Bell Jr.)

Ray took the time to go through our entire itinerary, and was very prepared come wedding day. He worked with our officiant to make sure the ceremony was heard by all of our guests, and the ceremony cues were spot on. The playlist for the dance was exactly what we asked for, and everyone had a great time.

Danielle and Tyler 9/28/19 – Stonebrook Golf Club (Kyle Egan)

Kyle Egan was OUTSTANDING! He made us very comfortable the day of, and checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly. He worked well with the venue and other vendors to make sure everything worked flawlessly! Kyle also made sure the dance floor was packed, and kept it packed with a great selection of songs! He also knew how to transition songs really well and kept playing great song after great song! Kyle is definitely amazing at what he does, and I can’t say enough great things about him and Instant Request!

Mary and Jeff 9/28/19 – Hidden Haven Country Club (John Butler)

My sister was married yesterday and we had the honor of having John Butler as the DJ. He did such an amazing job! It’s like he could read the minds of the crowd and there was never a dull moment. John made sure everyone was having fun and always engaged. This service and John are highly recommended by me. We had a blast!

Jaime and Christian 9/28/19 – Voyageur Environmental Center (Dave Kellner)

Dave, our Instant Request DJ, was fantastic! Kept the party going and on a couple occasions already had songs cue’d up when I stepped over to request them!

Emily and Brad 9/28/19 – Surly Brewing Company (Brandon Holland)

We had a great experience with Instant Requst! Our DJ Brandon kept the party going all night. The online planning form was helpful for us to organize our reception and communicate what type of music we wanted to hear. Our guests had a great time, and we think Brandon and Instant Request played a huge part in that. Thank you!
Instant Request was fantastic to work with. The service was affordable and their online event planner was easy to use allowing us to customize everything about our wedding day. Our DJ Brandon was fun, interacted with guests, and accommodated specific requests we had regarding announcing us as a couple. He did a great job with the set list, mixing and blending songs, and kept the dance floor full! He also worked with our event coordinator independently to arrange setup and tear down of equipment. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience for our wedding! Thank you!!!

Drew and Scot 9/28/19 – Mercy Bar & Dining Room (Bryan Jacobson)

We were very, very happy with our experience with Instant Request. This was for our wedding and Bryan (our DJ) was not only accommodating and on his game but just an all around great guy. The system they use to allow you to select your music is easy to use and they are happy to add songs that may not be in their library. We had a fantastic wedding and part of that was definitely due to our great DJ. Definitely recommend!

Amanda and Mitch 9/28/19 – Silver Lake Auditorium (Alex Knight)

Alex Knight was Amazing! We enjoyed how he made the announcements and just really made our wedding truly OUR wedding. The chair game was so fun for me! Thank you!!!

Jessica and Justin 9/27/19 – Gardens of Castle Rock in Northfield (Ben Mezzenga)

Ben Mezzenga was an awesome DJ. He was awesome to work with and kept the dance floor packed all night. He did great with reading the crowd and played great song choices all night. He exceeded all expectations! We are so happy he was our DJ for our wedding!

Kat and Spencer 9/27/19 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

Instant Request came highly recommended from Bearpath Golf and Country Club, where we are members and had the wedding reception. I couldn’t have been happier with the referral. From start to finish they were very informative and took the time to answer all questions as they came up. Each person I talked to at Instant Request was very professional and I had no worries going into the day of the event. The music catalog had every song we could possibly have wanted and it was nice to get their ideas of what a good playlist might be to appeal to mixed age guest list. Andrew was our DJ and he handled the night perfectly and would consult with me as needed. We entertain a lot and I will not hesitate to use them for any event we throw. We used a live band 10 years ago and found that the playlist was so limited and the evening lost momentum during the band break. This did not happen with Instant Request as they are always “on”. We also contracted for the white tufted DJ booth they now offer and it was great. The ballroom was very elegant and over the top so the booth was the finishing touch.

Todd and Matthew 9/21/19 – Pinstripes (Ben Mezzenga)

DJ Ben did an outstanding job at our wedding this past weekend! He kept the dance floor going all night! We couldn’t be happier! Thanks Ben!!!

Mimi and Scott 9/21/19 – TPC Golf Club in Blaine (Bridget Mace)

Bridget was our DJ for our big day and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience, she was so great! Music was a really important part for me so we really took our time picking a DJ company and I’m so glad we went with Instant Request. Their portal was easy to use and made me feel like we had all the say in how the entertainment was going to go for the night. All we needed was a fun, easy going, and respectful DJ to help us keep the party going all night and that’s exactly what we got, I was so happy with the experience. We had multiple comments from guests, wedding party members, and our parents about how great the DJ was and how they’ve never been to a wedding where the dance floor was full the entire night without pause. I highly recommend, they were great with communication throughout the entire process and I feel like we got a steal of a good quality deal for the price we paid.

Ashton and Daniel 9/21/19 – Holiday Inn & Suites in St. Cloud (John Butler)

We had DJ John B and he did an absolutely fantastic job from our phone interview to the end of our reception. We have received so many compliments about our wedding and how much fun it was, John kept everyone on the dance floor! There was a tornado warning during our cocktail hour which lead to the sirens going off and guests at the hotel (not for our wedding) had to come into the banquet hall where our reception was being held- John made sure none of the guests, whom were in wet swimsuits sat at any of the tables. We were highly impressed and would definitely recommend Instant Request to anyone for their wedding! Thank you again for the outstanding job!

Elizabeth and Connor 9/21/19 – Private Residence (Tom Coughlin)

Tom was AWESOME. He was able to accommodate any special requests we had and was flexible when things needed to be changed last minute. Would highly recommend having him DJ your wedding!

Hanna and Scott 9/21/19 – Hidden Meadow and Barn in Pepin, WI (Obi Okeke)

DJ Obi was fantastic. Had multiple people after the wedding telling us that the DJ played “nothing but hits” and kept them on the dance floor all night. He was very easy to work with and played music based off a playlist we made, but with his own touch. We liked that he had a plan already to go for speeches, first dances, entrances and requests. Everything flowed how it should have. A+.

Erin and Cole 9/21/19 – Bavaria Downs (Rick Ausland)

We had such a good time at Bavaria Downs on 9/21. Rick did amazing!!! We’ve gotten lots of compliments since about how rocking the music was. THANK YOU

Rebecca and Anthony 9/21/19 – Belle’s Event Center (Trevor Todd)

Thank you, Trevor! Grateful for you making our big day an extra great one!! The dance floor was never empty!

Hailey and Derek 9/21/19 – Edinburgh USA Golf Club (Paul Kue)

Awesome work by DJ Paul! Great lights and kept to our requests. Highly recommend them and DJ Paul for your big day.

Ellie and Scott 9/21/19 – Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony is the best of the best! If you want your dance floor packed all night, he’s your guy!

Alissa and Wade 9/20/19 – Calhoun Beach Club (Jamir Hopson)

DJ Lovelle was the absolute BEST!! If you can request him, do so! He played so much of our custom playlist and added other songs on his own that fit the vibe perfectly. I was having a hard time getting excited for the day due to some personal issues and he was kind and thoughtful and promised me the day would be great! And boy was he right! Thanks again to Jamir!

Jaime and Benjamin 9/20/19 – Eko Backen Country Weddings (Patrick Sullivan)

Patrick was great. He was easy to work with and kept the party going. I would highly recommend Instant Request DJ.

Alexa and Alan 9/14/19 – Verizon Wireless Center in Mankato (Alex Knight)

DJ Alex Knight killed it at our wedding this past weekend! The dance floor was packed all night long! 12/10 recommend him and Instant Request!

Katie and Travis 9/14/19 – Minnetonka Orchards (Allie Pasiuk)

We had Allie P. as our DJ and she was fantastic! She kept the timeline for the speeches and made sure to ask Travis and I when we were ready for different events (first dance, bouquet toss, speeches, etc.). She was amazing – got people out on the dance floor, learned guest names, and was genuinely very personable. I would recommend highly recommend her to anyone!

Krista and Donovan 9/14/19 – Le Meridien Chambers Minneapolis (Ben Mezzenga)

We loved everything about our experience with Instant Request. Starting with the prices – super affordable and well priced. Second- they had a really great program where we could pick out songs for each important piece of the wedding as well as upload our own songs to their stock lists. Third – DJ Ben Jammin’ was a hit at our wedding, super professional, easy going, did a fabulous job hosting, taking requests, and all the girls thought he was very cute too! Overall I would absolutely recommend Instant Request! Thanks for the great night!

Sasha and Grant 9/14/19 – Windows on Minnesota (David James)

We used the Black Tie service, and we worked with David. We loved the online portal, and when I sat down to meet with David, we got on the same page about how everything was going to look. He was great, and it was clear that he wanted my input to make sure the evening went how we wanted it to. At the reception, he was great. Multiple people commented on what a good DJ he was and one person said “He is actually really good! Wedding DJs are never good!” I wasn’t able to be out on the dance floor as much as I would have liked, but whenever I was in there, the music was fantastic. He was a blast to work with and I highly recommend him. Instant Request also provided the sound and music for the ceremony, as well as uplighting for the reception. Everything worked fantastically, and David did a wonderful job of looping or cuing the music so it timed up well with the processional (which took longer than we thought) and the recessional. I can’t recommend Instant Request and David enough!

Kate and Ross 9/14/19 – Brainerd Lakes Curling Club (Kevin Feidt)

You were awesome! We so appreciate your flexibility with everything at our wedding reception. Seriously, I know they can get a little crazy, but you handled everything so smoothly! Thank you!

Alyssa and Jason 9/14/19 – Dellwood Country Club (Charlie DuBois)

DJ Charlie was the best. Our guests were on the dance floor the whole night and my guests are still talking about how much fun they had a month later! We got to meet with Charlie a couple weeks before the wedding and work the schedule out. He was very knowledgeable and helped us work out a few kinks and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend!

Sean and Leah 9/14/19 – Seven Vines Vineyard (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy B was amazing! Really good at reading the crowd and keeping everyone dancing!

Lindsey and Alex 9/14/19 – Minneapolis Event Center (Ryan Weber)

Ryan W was awesome! He read the room well and kept the dance floor going all night. He also listened to our thank you speech which quoted a song and played the song immediately after — super thoughtful and intuitive. The dance was a priority to us and that’s why we went with Instant Request. They gave us peace of mind and an excellent party.

Taylor and Nick 9/14/19 – 912 Regency Plaza in St. Cloud (Anthony DuBose)

We went over budget going with Instant Request, and not a single penny was wasted! We got the black tie option and had Anthony as our DJ. When we sat down for our first meeting he told us his plan. He put 100% of his attention on the bride and groom, and anytime we gave him a nod or a signal he knew just what to do. Even if it was cutting the song short and switching it. He kept our dancefloor full all night by making sure the guests liked the music. He took pictures of our reception after the photographers left. He was amazing to have as our DJ, and you could tell he loves doing what he does.

Sonja and Marc 9/14/19 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (Cody Koss)

Instant Request were great to work with for our wedding and their Online Planner makes things so easy. Cody, our DJ, was super fun and had the crowd dancing all night! We would definitely recommend. Thanks again for being a part of our wedding!

Kory and Andrew 9/14/19 – FIVE Event Center (Josh Perkins)

Instant Request did an amazing job! The DJ, Josh, was amazing and the guests loved the music. He took requests and made the guests very happy. Thanks to Josh, everyone had a great time dancing and loved the playlist. The up lighting was so cool! Highly recommend the company!

Cielito and Billy 9/14/19 – Lafayette Club (Randy Grubba)

Instant Request DJ Entertainment is a very professional company. They are organized and knowledgeable, they ask the questions that give them the insight to know how you want your event to go even if you don’t know how to put it into words. Randy was our DJ and he was fabulous, he played the music that kept our guest and party going all night, no lulls, everyone felt like they knew what to expect with out having a DJ that was constantly talking. He really made our wedding the party everyone is still talking about. We are so happy with Randy and Instant Request DJ!!! They’re the best!!

Ellie and Quinn 9/14/19 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

Their online portal was easy to use to pick specific songs we wanted or the type of music we wanted playing. We also were able to communicate all of the details of the day to the DJ. Our DJ, Andrew, was really easy to work with and worked with us to loop the song I wanted to play during the processional of the ceremony. He also had great attention to detail and noticed that I had the names out of order for how he was going to announce the wedding party at the reception. Our dance lasted 1.5 hours longer than expected because people were having such a great time, and Andrew communicated with me to make sure that we shut it down in time for everybody to catch the last shuttle back to the hotels. We had a great experience!

Ali and Zak 9/13/19 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Jimmy Bogen)

It’s hard to imagine having a better experience with a wedding DJ service than I had with Instant Request DJ Entertainment and specifically, DJ Jimmy B from their Black Tie Staff. We hired DJ Jimmy to play music and supply a microphone for our wedding ceremony and our reception. DJ Jimmy was incredibly professional and well-prepared, he did a great job during our ceremony, and an even better job getting people on the dance floor. He played music that we requested and added in his own selections that were fantastic. He was a great communicator during the event and I really appreciate the amazing job he did for us. I’d recommend DJ Jimmy and Instant Request to everyone!

Skyler and Michael 9/13/19 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Justin Roff)

Justin was our DJ and did such an amazing job. He checked in with us about a week or so out from our wedding and went over all the details. He did both our wedding ceremony and reception and just did a wonderful job. He can definitely read the room. I had so much fun dancing with everyone, we even got grandma out on the dance floor and such a large part of that was because of him. He was so kind and professional throughout the entire night. When one of my family members had a medical emergency, it kind of stopped the party in its tracks. But after we were able to get her the help she needed Justin was able to bring everyone back and get the party started again. I’m so so so glad we choose Instant Request and had Justin as our DJ. Everyone told us what a wonderful job he did.

Amanda and Michael 9/13/19 – Rush Creek Golf Club (David James)

DJ David James was awesome. He faded each song into the next for smooth transitions and read the room to change songs as needed. He was fun and easy to talk with.

Samantha and Samual 9/8/19 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (Obi Okeke) 

We had Obi as our DJ and he did an amazing job! The dance floor was a big hit at our wedding and we loved that he mixed in some Afro beats as my husband is originally from Ghana. He was very kind and made everything run smoothly for our wedding at Aria in Minneapolis! I will definitely recommend Obi for my friends weddings to come!

Brianna and Daniel 9/7/19 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy B, was such a great DJ! He listened to our requests on the genre of music, but also threw in a few extras (which were great picks). The crowd was on the dance floor all night- he knew how to read the crowd and get everyone moving! The online event planner was such a great tool to use!

Marla and Alex 9/7/19 – Outing Lodge at Pine Point (Ray Bell Jr.)

Had Raymond Bell as a DJ for my wedding and he was wonderful! Ray was professional and worked hard to make sure our day ran smoothly. Every time a song played Ray would be interacting and having a good time with the crowd, all while playing great songs!

Danielle and Beau 9/7/19 – Burl Oaks Golf Club (John Butler)

I had John Butler for my wedding and he was great! We talked twice on the phone at length. Met him the day of our wedding. He set everything up. Ceremony went smoothly with the songs I had chosen. Also microphone and speakers worked well. The reception went great as well! He was flexible with rolling with what we wanted to do in the moment but also helped/reminded us about our timeline. Great energy-very happy/upbeat/professional. He also took guests requests which I liked. Overall, he did a great job and I would recommend him and instant requests for a wedding.

Lindsey and Matt 9/7/19 – Oak Ridge Hotel & Conference Center (Alex Knight)

This was one of the best vendors we booked for the whole wedding. Alex was professional, fun and easy to work with. His attention to detail and desire to make the day grand we’re all evident in the planning and execution on the big day. Don’t hesitate for a moment in booking this group. The planning program they provide before-hand also made many of the minor details easy to remember and account for. Thanks for a great experience.

Nicole and Westin 9/7/19 – Bunker Hills Golf Club (Justin Roff)

I knew Justin R would be perfect for our wedding when he did his “DJ voice” in the middle of Caribou during our planning meeting and sure enough, JUSTIN KILLED IT. I got the recommendation to request him as our Black Tie DJ through my coordinator and he literally made our entire night. I have never been to a wedding where EVERY song was the perfect song for that exact moment. Our dance floor was filled the entire night and I have had so many people come up to me and say that it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to. I ended up doubling my tip for him on the spot because he was so great. Every time you thought “I’ll sit out and rest for the next song”, a song would start playing that you couldn’t possibly sit out. It was amazing.

Megan and Nate 9/7/19 – Outpost Center (Tom Coughlin)

Tom was very accommodating, positive and had a fun attitude! He played a great variety of songs and people danced all night. Wonderful experience!

Katie and Josh 9/7/19 – Stout’s Island Lodge in WI (Eric Malmberg)

Eric was the DJ for our wedding and we could not have been more impressed and happy with his work. He was always responsive to our needs in advance of our wedding and took care to make sure the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and evening dancing had the songs that we wanted played. He was great in arriving at a tough venue (on an island) and getting setup with plenty of time to spare, and was professional throughout all interactions. Most importantly, he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Many thanks for such a memorable night!

Courtney and Tim 9/6/19 – Machine Shop (Jamir Hopson)

I would highly recommend Instant Request DJ Entertainment. They were very organized and fulfilled all of our requests, making our wedding day run smoothly and just how we imagined it would be!

Michelle and Travis 8/31/19 – Lumber Exchange Event Center (Justin Roff)

Justin was a great DJ! He helped keep things moving and had lots of people on the dance floor. There were more oldies/classics playing than we liked, but overall everyone had a great time.

Kristin and Tom 8/31/19 – Hutton House (Andrew Najafalipour)

Mitch and Instant Request were awesome to work with. We were also really happy with our matched DJ, Andrew. He was flexible and incorporated our playlists from Spotify and stayed away from the songs on our *do not* playlist. He also followed our requests on how much MC-ing/crowd interaction we wanted, was careful to pronounce all names correctly and understood our family dynamics/roles for announcing our nontraditional first dances. We’d recommend them to everyone!

Valerie and Cole 8/31/19 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Ben Nordquist)

Thank you for keeping the party rolling and for being such an important part of our reception going off without a hitch! We received so many compliments on our DJ and will absolutely be recommending you and Instant Request to family and friends.

Ashley and Ted 8/30/19 – Redeemed Farm in Scandia, MN (David James)

David Allison was a perfect match for us and he was so fun and professional.  We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Our family is still complementing the music/dance. He definitely made our night more enjoyable.  We will definitely recommend your company in the future.  

Mikaela and Steven 8/25/19 – Royal Golf Club (Ben Mezzenga)

Ben was amazing! Very professional service and a pleasure to have at our wedding! We have recommended him to several friends and family 🙂

Mickael and Beau 8/24/19 – Freeport Community Center (Ben Mezzenga)

Cannot say enough great things about our DJ! We had DJ Ben Mezzenga and he did an AMAZING job! The dance floor was PACKED all night long and he was great with crowd involvement. He was always smiling and willing to do whatever to make our night go smoothly, which it definitely did. He even had to learn about “the washtub dance” and he was so game for it! We loved having him as our DJ and could not recommend him enough! Thank you DJ Ben!

Amy and Jeff 8/24/19 – Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington (Jamir Hopson)

Jamir was hilarious and many compliments from my guests on him! Super funny and just all around genuine. Highly recommend him!

Anna and Matt 8/24/19 – Earle Brown Heritage Center (David James)

DJ David was awesome. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Kept everyone dancing all night long and was super cool to work with.

Katie and Tom 8/24/19 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Rick Ausland)

We absolutely loved our wedding experience with Instant Request. We were so worried that we wouldn’t have a big group of people dancing at our wedding, but DJ Rick was absolutely amazing and kept the dance floor packed all night long. We couldn’t have been happier!

Sarah and Chris 8/24/19 – Greenhaven Country Club (Alexander Weaver)

We recently used Instant Request for our wedding and couldn’t have been happier with our decision. Alexander Weaver did an amazing job, between prior to event correspondence and handling day of preparations, everything was great. We had an amazing wedding and if we ever need DJ services again we will be sure to book Instant Request and will ask for Alexander for sure.

Rachel and Sam 8/23/19 – Capitol Room in St. Peter (Patrick Sullivan)

Patrick did a great job of taking requests and checking in with my husband and I throughout the night asking what we wanted played/how we were enjoying the music. We had a full dance floor until the very last song!

Ellen and Zach 8/23/19 – Aria (Tom Coughlin)

Instant Request is a phenomenal company!! They are organized, punctual, and an extremely great price for what they offer! I would recommend them highly!

Tanya and Nick 8/23/19 – Almquist Farm (Ben Mezzenga)

Ben was awesome! Everyone I talked to the next few days commented on how good he was.

Paige and Morgan 8/17/2019 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Allie Pasiuk)

Instant request was fabulous! Allison (Allie) was absolutely incredible! She was extremely personable, and made the night a breeze for Paige and I! We had told her to “play the room” as far as playing music that people seemed receptive to dancing along to, and she did exactly that! She also sprinkled in the songs that we had chosen before the wedding, and took requests from our guests who wanted to hear something more specific. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice of DJ! Thanks Allie!

Kelly and Andrew 8/17/19 – White Bear Yacht Club (Tom Coughlin)

DJ WAS AWESOME. Did what we requested to a T. No technical difficulties. What made him amazing was what he did when we gave him the flexibility to express his talents, it created such an incredible dance floor atmosphere. This DJ was the best.

Michelle and Tyler 8/17/19 – Edinburgh USA Golf Club (David James)

Incredible experience with Instant Request. We are so glad we went with the Black Tie DJ David James. He was unreal at reading the crowd and making sure that dance floor full the whole night. Super impressed with his ability to take requests but play the best music the whole time – we didn’t need to do one-off requests. From our initial sit-down meeting to the wedding day, David was extremely organized, professional and executed his job to the highest level on our wedding night.

Katherine and Michael 8/17/19 – De Novo Barn in Decorah, IA (Ray Bell Jr.)

The DJ was phenomenal and brought the event together. He was professional and accommodating.

Julie and Michael 8/17/19 – Keller Golf Course (Ben Nordquist)

Ben was the DJ we chose for our Wedding reception. As soon as we met with him, we knew he was the perfect choice for us. Ben is very experienced and guided us through the reception speeches and dances flawlessly. He kept the guests on the dance floor which was the best part! Great music choices and wonderful personality. Very professional and we would highly recommend Ben!

Elly and Cole 8/17/19 – Wilds Golf Club (Kailen Nelson)

Kai, with Instant Request was absolutely amazing! He kept out guest out on the dance floor all night. We had to switch a few things the day of our wedding and he was all for it and made everything literally so perfect. I would 10/10 recommended Instant Request to all future brides!

Amy and Nicholas 8/17/19 – Creeksbend Golf Course (John Butler)

It was a magical day! John B. did such an amazing job at reading the crowd and picking songs that matched the energy level around the room! Thank you!!

Sheng and Bjorn 8/17/19 – Plymouth Creek Center (Alex Knight)

Awesome company! Very easy to work. Alex Knight was really friendly and you can tell he really loves his job. The dance floor was packed all night. Highly recommend!

Michelle and Randy 8/17/19 – Seven Vines Vineyard (Zach Bayerl)

Zach did a great job during our ceremony and reception. There were a few minor hiccups but they didn’t ruin the day! I would highly recommend Instant Request.

Sloane and Kevin 8/16/19 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Allie Pasiuk)

Great experience with Allie! She really cares about us and we didn’t even know what we wanted for the processional or during the 4 hours of dancing. Allie made it all happen and my new wife and I, and my guests, loved her. Thank you!

Christine and Derek 8/16/19 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Alex Knight)

Do not wait to book with Alex Knight. He was the best! He provided such a VIP service, it was amazing. He played our Ceremony and our reception and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer and more professional DJ. He kept us cool, he smiled constantly and he mixed the beats to keep the songs flowing. 10/10 would recommend again. You can tell he loves his job and we can’t thank him enough!

Niki and Alex 8/16/19 – Seven Vines Vineyard (Anthony DuBose)

We had an awesome experience choosing Instant Request as our DJ. We chose the Black Tie package so we could hand select Anthony as our DJ after seeing several amazing reviews about him, and we are so glad we did! Anthony went above and beyond to go over every detail and make sure we were on the same page as far as our wants and visions for our day. He was so easy to talk to and did a great job keeping our day on track. He was the perfect choice for us! The whole process was great.

Lauren and Jay 8/16/19 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was awesome and kept the dance floor going all night. Service and equipment were top notch and would definitely recommend. Jimmy was great! Kept our dance floor busy all night!!

Dana and Matthew 8/16/19 – Gale Mansion (Justin Roff)

DJ Justin R was amazing at our wedding! Awesome dance party all night! Songs flowed perfectly. DJ justin R was super friendly and knowledgeable! He is very personable, and answered all our questions before the wedding. He was confident that he could help keep everyone dancing and he did just that! The dance floor was packed with young and old all night long!! Everyone commented on how fun the night was. Justin was also great at making announcements and making speeches run smoothly. The whole process of using Instant Request was smooth an easy. Highly recommend!

Rachael and Colin 8/10/19 – Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center (Jamir Hopson)

Instant Request was a great company to work with. They matched me with DJ Jamir. HE WAS AMAZING! I appreciate that he called me before the wedding to confirm my website profile, answer any questions, & to get to know me a little. I was grateful for his suggestions on when to give speeches, bouquet toss, garter toss, etc. I am happy to say we had no problems during the event, only people asking me what company I used because they were so impressed! He kept everyone out on the dance floor!

Saarika and Sean 8/10/19 – The Blaisdell (Jimmy Bogen)

I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to let you know how fantastic Jimmy was on Saturday evening! I am so happy that we had him as our DJ! I could not have imagined a better event. He did a great mix of reading the crowd and playing our requests. I cannot rave enough about him.  I hope we didn’t scare him during our meeting, because I think we requested that more “traditional” wedding songs not be played and instead maintain more of a party environment. He absolutely delivered. He kept our dance floor packed! He did a fantastic job of reading our crowd and playing a few Indian songs.  Jimmy was the emcee that we didn’t know we needed. One thing that especially stood out to me was how he walked around to dismiss our guests for dinner. We had multiple guests approach us and told us that was an excellent way to dismiss them and they commented on how nice he was. My dad was also so happy with the microphone coaching he got pre-speech. We had so many people reach out to us on Sunday and let us know how great Jimmy was and how much fun the evening was!

Julia and Ross 8/10/19 – Pinstripes (Allie Pasiuk)

DJ Allie was amazing! She met with us weeks before the wedding to talk through our vision and made my bride feel so at ease for our big day. On the day of, Allie was great at helping to organize our guests, communicating with other vendors, and of course playing bumping jams. Allie made this the best dance I’ve been to for a wedding, which was awesome because it was my own wedding! We absolutely recommend DJ Allie for anyone searching for a DJ!

Michelle and David 8/10/19 – Maple Grove Community Center (Ray Bell Jr.)

Ray was nothing but excellent, far exceeding our expectations! He is extremely accommodating and his work managing the timeline to ensure our reception went off without a hitch allowed us to relax and enjoy the evening with our friends and family. Ray had a great mix of music and kept the dance floor packed throughout the night. Several guests and our whole bridal party complemented his work. My wife and I highly recommend Ray!

Brooke and Mitchell 8/10/19 – Gopher Hills Golf Club (Bryan Jacobson)

Our D.J. for our wedding was a very fun and professional individual! Bryan Jacobson did a great job making sure that we (the wedding couple) were always happy with what was happening. He was also very quick to think of songs to play when our songs weren’t long enough during the nights’ occasions. Overall, he helped make our special night a huge success. Thanks!

Thank you Instant Request for making our wedding so truly special! Our DJ (DJ David James A.K.A. DJ DJ) was so wonderful and knew just how to keep the dance floor packed! At one point we had a small mishap with the schedule and our DJ helped us buy some time by keeping the crowd at ease while our wedding party scrambled behind the scenes to help us get what we needed in place. He was so fun and helpful and if you can, we highly recommend you request DJ David!

Colleen and Donovan 8/9/19 – Town & Country Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

Such a great time and he was phenomenal.

Melanie and Evan 8/3/19 – Almquist Farm (Ray Bell, Jr.)

Ray was absolutely amazing! He kept our reception flowing and reminded us on timing so we could fit all of our activities in!

His good attitude was contagious and we are so thankful we had him and decided on Instant Request for our wedding DJ! 100% recommend!

Jill and Ben 8/3/19 – McNamara Alumni Center (Alex Knight)

Alex was amazing. He took time to get to know us before the event and it really paid off. He handled the ceremony, toasts, and announcements with ease.

Overall just a great job and we keep hearing how great the wedding was as a result!

Stephanie and Benedict 8/3/19 – Grand View Lodge in Nisswa (Nate Anderson)

Becca and Cody 8/3/19 – Park Ballroom in New Prague (David James)

Outstanding service! DJ David James kept the dance floor busy all night! He made sure our grandmarch at the reception with our bridal party was unique and special!

Alex and Cody 8/3/19 – Legends Golf Club (Dave Kellner)

Instant Request DJ was great for our wedding! We didn’t have a ‘definite’ wedding schedule but our DJ, Dave, was super willing to work with us and be accommodating to our schedule the day of the wedding. Dave was also great to play the music we put on the playlist but added music that fit the genres we had picked. Our dance floor we always filled with people thanks to Dave! Overall we had an amazing experience with Instant Request DJ and we would recommend them for anyone look for a wedding DJ!

He even flawlessly worked with our processional music when our flower girl and ring bearer took a bit longer than expected and extended our song. We would 100% hire Instant Request again!

Caroline and Ryan 7/27/19 – Loring Social (Jimmy Bogen)

DJ Jimmy was hands down the BEST! The dance floor was full the entire night.

If you are looking for a DJ for an event Jimmy is the guy!!!!! Great music and great entertainment! Made for a great wedding.

Bethany and Austin 7/27/19 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Allie Pasiuk)

Allison was phenomenal from start to finish. On our initial phone consultation we knew she would be perfect for our wedding day. Her attitude and excitement about being a DJ along with her desire to help us carry out our wedding vision was beyond anything we expected! Instant Request was also very accommodating with song requests, we had a couple songs that were not already in their library and it was easy to get exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommended Instant Request for any wedding!

Rachael and Emiliano 7/27/19 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (Zachary Bayerl)

Our Black Tie DJ, Justin, was phenomenal! I was so nervous that we would have technical difficulties during the ceremony, but the music, timing, sound and mic were all perfect. He played great music for the dance! We had a phone call prior to the wedding day where he went over every detail with us so that he could be as prepared as possible, which was so nice! The online event planner is very extensive & ensures that every detail is covered, so that your special day plays out perfectly.

Our DJ did an amazing job!! Announced everything correctly, was super flexible with us, and played all the right music! Couldn’t have had a better experience.

Rick from Instant Request was the best wedding DJ I’ve ever experienced. He was professional, kind, and incredibly talented. We had so many friends asking for his name at our wedding.

Ashley 7/27/19 – Venue Coordinator at Olympic Hills Golf Club (Trevor Todd)

I can’t tell you how many rave reviews we got last night and that are still pouring in this morning.

Tracy and Timothy 7/27/19 – Indian Hills Golf Club (Patrick Sullivan)

Patrick Sullivan did a over the top fantastic job.  He was on time, professional, and listened to what we had to say…Very easy to work with.  We gave him a general song list and his selection for additional songs was right on.  Of course my bride and I were nervous about the wedding and the reception but after speaking with Patrick on the phone he really put our minds at ease.  I would highly recommend using Instant Request DJ Entertainment and I would highly recommend using Patrick as a DJ.

Eric Vest Photography 7/27/19 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Allie Pasiuk)

I’m writing just because this is the 2nd time I’ve worked with Allie and I just have to say what a GREAT DJ she is! I work with all sorts of DJs and it take quite a lot to impress me. She was kind, on top of everything, very professional with the guests and always let them know what was coming next in the run of events, dressed incredibly classy, and the list goes on. And besides that it didn’t seem like a big “Dancing Crowd” but she had the floor packed the whole time I was there!

Stephanie and Rob 7/27/19 – Hutton House (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was amazing!! Would definitely hire again.

He read the crowd extremely well and played songs that people loved. He was very professional throughout the planning and event.

Alyssa and Luke 7/26/19 – Machine Shop (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony from Instant Request was amazing! Once we met him at our planning meeting we knew that he was going to be awesome and make sure our guests had a great time. He was very good at getting a sense of what we wanted and what was important to us ahead of time, but made sure we just got to enjoy the day when it came without having to bug us at all! We realized about halfway through dinner that we had forgotten to give him our playlist for the dinner, but somehow there had been great music playing all night already! Truly great at making the day special and taking care of everything for us!

Chris and Hansol 7/26/19 – Harriet Island Pavilion (Allie Pasiuk)

Our DJ, Allison, did a phenomenal job at our wedding. She was very personable, nice and confident. Instant request was very easy to communicate with and they’re online portal was simple enough to use and plan the details of the wedding music. We chose to just let our DJ choose most of the songs because she is the professional, and we were happy to have that stress off our shoulders. We felt the base price for the services was reasonable and we didn’t purchase any add-ons.

Alexis and Ryan 7/26/19 – Watson Block (Trevor Todd)

DJ Trevor Todd was awesome and followed our event planner perfectly! Everything went smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

LaRae and Mason 7/20/19 – Giants Ridge (Tom Coughlin)

We had DJ Tom Coughlin for our wedding last weekend. I’m not sure if I can express how satisfied we are with his service and performance. He did AMAZING!! The dance floor was packed all night long because of his engagement with the guests and because he read the crowd and switched up the songs as he needed to. If we are ever in need of a DJ again, him and Instant Request will be our choice for sure. Thank you, Tom and Instant Request!!

Jenna and Eric 7/20/19 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (John Butler)

Did a great job of reading the crowd and playing songs that got people on the dance floor. We had a request to ask some trivia questions during the night and our DJ was more than happy to accommodate our requests.

Beth and Dylan 7/20/19 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Jimmy Bogen)

If you are looking for a DJ look no further . This was by far my best vendor . So organized , professional, reasonably priced , and AMAZING! Jimmy B exceeded all expectations . We had so many guests compliment us and many asked for his information for their upcoming events . The entire night ran smoothly with Jimmy’s lead . He was so personable and quick to read the crowd and select the best song choices . We can’t say enough good things . Thank you Jimmy for an amazing dance party!  Words fall short of expressing what a great job you did at the reception! Not only did you keep the party going on the dance floor, but you were so organized and your calm attitude put both Dylan and I at ease. We had so many compliments on how fun our dance was and how wonderful you were! Thank you for running a night we won’t ever forget! We will treasure the memories forever!

Alyssa and Tyler 7/20/19 – 3 Ten Event Venue in Fairbault (Alex Knight)

DJ Alex Knight was awesome! We were impressed from our initial meeting to talk over our wedding day with him. We had a lot of out of town guests who left right after dinner however he was able to keep everyone that stayed out on the dance floor until midnight! Would recommend him over and over again!

Brittany and Evan 7/20/19 – Minneapolis Club (Dekontee Lombel)

It was absolutely wonderful. Our DJ went to our venue almost a week before to get the layout and worked with our contact there so we didn’t have to worry about any of the logistics at all. The sound quality was perfect, Dekontee handled all the announcements and kept the train moving along seamlessly. Which must’ve been like herding cats at times. But most importantly the dance floor was full the whole night! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Amanda and Daniel 7/19/19 – Hyland Park Chalet (Trevor Todd)

I would 100% recommend instant request to anyone looking for a customized DJ experience. Trevor Todd was our DJ, and he was kind, professional and played all the best music. Trevor rolled with our last minute changes and did exactly what we asked him when discussing our plans. He was great with our guests’ requests and easy to work with.

Nicole and Zachary 7/19/19 – Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake (Ray Bell Jr.)

Ray was attentive and quick to help us announce anything we needed to communicate as well as make sure all of our speeches went off flawlessly. When he said he was going to play all the hits, I never expected the perfect blend of old and new hits that had everyone on the dance floor at least once. Would highly recommend to others.

Kelly and Brent 7/19/19 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (David James)

It was great working with David James! He was attentive to our wishes and threw a great party with some great music! He was also very receptive to feedback. We’d recommend Instant Request!! We had a great experience with our DJ!

Kristen and Joshua 7/19/19 – Loring Social (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy Bogen could not have been better. He played a great mix of the songs and genres that we requested. Multiple people have told me how awesome our DJ was. DJs make a difference. Jimmy made a difference. I could not recommend him enough.  Thank you so much for being a DJ at our wedding! You did an amazing job. The ceremony and dance music was perfect. So many people commented on how much fun they had dancing at the wedding. People that normally refuse to dance were out there busting a move. We can’t thank you enough for creating the perfect atmosphere on our big day!

Ashley and Tim 7/19/19 – Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel (Justin Roff)

Justin was FANTASTIC! The reception flowed seamlessly and everyone from age 5 to 85 was kept entertained. Justin was a class act and we were more than happy to have him as a part of our reception. I cannot imagine our wedding reception without DJ Justin. He was professional, attentive to us and our guests and kept the dance floor full until 1am! He was able to effectively mix in song from all eras and all genres to keep people engaged, and create a killer dance party atmosphere for everyone. Thank you so much! DJ Justin and Instant Request were absolutely amazing to work with.

Shelby and Damon 7/19/19 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Alex Knight)

I can’t thank Alex enough for the job he did at my daughter’s wedding!! He was engaging and open to our ideas. Best of all, the dance floor was packed until the lights came on at midnight! Alex was the BEST DJ we could have asked for!!!! He literally killed it. He wasn’t overwhelming and didn’t try to steal the show, but really kept things moving and truly played the hits from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! I will recommend Alex and Instant Request to anyone who asks.

Alexis and Derek 7/13/19 – FIVE Event Center (Ray Bell Jr.)

Our DJ was Ray and he was amazing! We had a great experience using Instant Request DJ services. Throughout the process of booking and lead up to our wedding they were very quick to respond. We had a phone consult with our DJ prior to the event and he was very courteous and took what we wanted seriously. The day of our wedding, our DJ, Ray, kept the dance floor busy the ENTIRE dance. We had so many compliments on our DJ. We would definitely recommend Instant Request and Ray to anyone!  Our friends and family were dancing all night. Highly recommend Instant Request, very easy to deal with and stress free.

Sarah and Jason 7/13/19 – Almquist Farm (Allie Pasiuk)

Michelle and Billy 7/13/19 – The Blaisdell (Ryan Weber)

Instant Request did a phenomenal job DJing our big day! The dance floor was never empty and Ryan knew exactly what songs we wanted played and how to keep the party going! We are one of the first couples from our friend group to get married and will DEFINITELY be recommending Instant Request to all of our engaged friends!

Michelle and Erik 7/13/19 – Bunker Hills Golf Club (Logan Korus)

Mikayla and Lucas 7/13/19 – Seven Vines Vineyard (Charlie Mitchell)

Claire and Nick 7/13/19 – Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel (Alex Knight)

Alex was fantastic. He read the crowd really well and everyone stayed on the dance floor. We wanted a dance party and he definitely delivered!

Rebekka and Shawn 7/6/19 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (David James)

We had David as our black tie DJ and he was amazing! He was so great at reading the crowd to constantly keep the mood lively and fun! One of our biggest concerns was to make sure everyone was dancing and having fun and David totally made that happen! We would recommend every future brides and grooms use Instant Request and also to ask for David – you will not regret it!

Rachel and Matt 7/6/19 – Minneapolis Event Center (Charlie Mitchell)

Charlie was an excellent DJ! He kept everything on schedule, played requested songs, and kept the whole wedding jamming until the end! I loved the template we were able to fill out ahead of time to let the DJ know our group’s music style. I would definitely recommend using Instant Request!

Sarah and Veasna 7/6/19 – Seven Vines Vineyard (Justin Roff)

Justin Roff from Instant Request was delightful to work with. He was able to combine two cultures of music together very smoothly.

Kelly and Matt 7/6/19 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Alex Knight)

We had a great experience with Instant Request DJ and everybody at our wedding enjoyed the music. Thank you so much for making our day great.

Maddie and David 6/30/19 – Golden Oak Farm (Alex Knight)

100% would recommend Instant Request for any DJ needs. We chose Instant Request on a trustworthy recommendation from friends and are so happy we did. Every conversation with the company was reassuring, friendly, and informative. Mitch and Matt are great to talk to and are very much the first people during the process that help get the day’s overall flow figured out (there were times I when I was in a better mood after speaking to one of them!). We were assigned Alex Knight for our wedding day and we were pleased with his services from beginning to end. Guests of all ages complimented his personality, flexibility, song transitions/mixing, and courteousness. The next day, my mom exclaimed she enjoyed his interactions and positivity and wanted to send him a tip! (we tipped him day of :)). Highly recommend this company. They are all great people!

Wendy and Collin 6/29/19 – Hyatt Regency Bloomington (John Butler)

John Butler was PHENOMENAL!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better night. John was professional, easy going, flexible, and it was such a pleasure working with him. With the craziness of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a thing when it came to the music which was huge! The ceremony was flawless and he did fantastic with the music. As far as the reception, I didn’t think I stopped dancing the whole night. Everyone has not stopped raving about how much fun they had! I wish we could re-live the night over! I’ve attached our album for you to scroll through to see all the happy faces throughout the night as proof! Thank you for being great. We feel lucky to have been matched with you. Thank you so much John! 

Amanda and Nate 6/29/19 – Golden Oak Farm (Tom Coughlin)

We had a barn dance on the hottest day of the year, and Tom kept stance inside the entire time even though it was 100 degrees in there. He moved a speaker outside mid way too, so people could still enjoy the music! He was fantastic!

Kelly and Patrick 6/29/19 – Interlachen Country Club (Justin Roff)

Justin was an awesome DJ for our wedding. He was super easy to work with and enjoyable to be around. We really appreciated the time he took to meet with us ahead of time and the note he left for us at the end of the night. The music was excellent and things couldn’t have gone better. You can’t go wrong with Instant Request DJ, especially Justin.

Kayla and Michael 6/29/19 – Dellwood Country Club (Alex Knight)

Sarah and Charlie 6/29/19 – Plymouth Creek Center (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie was outstanding! From start to finish he was helping us through our wedding day. He was able to relate to any and all of our guests young to older. The whole company is responsive to communication, and very professional. The music selection is never ending and if you can’t find it on their list, they will find it for you! HIGHLY recommend their services, you won’t regret it!

Rachel and Patrick 6/29/19 – Columbia Golf Manor (Rick Ausland)

I wanted to shoot you a note and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding absolutely perfect. You did an amazing job and truly went above and beyond for us on our wedding day, and we could not be happier with your work! When you brought in You and Me by Dave Matthews at the end of my toast after hearing me quote it, when you went into the anniversary dance after the somewhat awkward moment of my dad not being initially around for the Father/Daughter dance, when you kept the party going all night; every moment was flawlessly executed. I had multiple people approach me during the wedding and tell me that you were an absolute rockstar. Thank you so much for creating the best party atmosphere for the biggest night of our lives. Your professionalism, relaxed manner, and understanding of how to keep a party going are second to none. The memories that you helped created will never be forgotten!!!

Jenna and Ryan 6/28/19 – Minneapolis Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie was awesome and incredibly accommodating. He was always giving us updates and guiding us through the night. He was also very passionate and even though a good portion of the crowd hung out outside all night, he stuck with it and had an incredible attitude. I would recommend him for any event. On behalf of Jenna and I, we would like to thank you for everything you did on our wedding day. We truly appreciate the level of detail you had and the attitude you had to just have a good time. It made the entire day that much better. We felt like everything was spot on!

Bethany and Nathan 6/28/19 – Green Acres Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was amazing! There’s nothing he can’t do!!

Kelly and Stephen 6/22/19 – Lowertown Event Center (Justin Roff)

Absolutely loved working with Instant Request, the planner and day of Justin Roff. He is truly the best and we had the dance floor going all night. Do you want your dance floor FULL non-stop at your reception? Yes? Then book with Instant Request. I echo many brides’ reviews on full dance floors and flawless service. We absolutely LOVED Justin R. with Instant Request. He was so supportive with our ceremony timelines and ensuring everything was executed perfectly. He communicated with us throughout the evening to ensure we had everything we needed and to keep the night rolling. We could not have thanked him more — he was not only a DJ but almost another ‘planner’ that day. Our dance floor truly was jam packed from the moment Footloose kicked off until we had to pack up and leave. He nailed it! I wanted a solid dance party and he delivered. 12/10 – the best! My guests had a blast and his communication and guidance throughout the day made it seamless. Would recommend him/the company to anyone!

Lindsey and Nathan 6/22/19 – Private Residence (Allie Pasiuk)

Instant Request DJ entertainment was a very positive experience for our wedding day! DJ Allie was able to give my now husband and I a lot of guidance when we were at a loss for how we wanted things to go! Our wedding was very informal and we wanted people to have fun. DJ Allie provided just that in a professional yet fun and spunky way. We were happy with everything she did and provided. She didn’t need much direction from me, she kept the crowd happy and entertained!!! She was AMAZING!!

Alaina and Peter 6/22/19 – Seven Vines Vineyard (David James)

We used Instant Request DJ Entertainment for our wedding in June 2019. Our DJ was David James and he was amazing. He worked with us on getting a great playlist together and met with us in person to go over the music and our timeline for various parts of our wedding. On the day of our wedding, the music was perfect. Not only did he play our list of songs, he was open to requests that made our event really fun. Everyone had a great time!  Highly recommend David and Instant Request.

Caitlin and Nick 6/22/19 – Cottage Farmhouse in Glencoe (Daniel Gazca)

Instant Request was great! Both my husband and I loved that we were able to completely customize everything online and our DJ Daniel did an awesome job! We chose them because we both loved that we were able to completely customize our playlist and their website planner was so easy to use! Before booking, we met with Mitch and were so impressed and excited with his enthusiasm. Mitch was extremely responsive any time I emailed him with a question. We were assigned our DJ, Daniel, three weeks prior to the wedding and were even able to chat before to review all of the details. Daniel was great – we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience! So happy we chose to work with Instant Request for our big day!

Megan and Justin 6/22/19 – James J. Jill Reference Library (Tom Coughlin)

Our DJ was great! He played music that was very fitting to our requests and we received endless compliments on the music. The dance floor was packed the whole night!

Alexander was awesome. He kept the crowd on the dance floor and kept the bride happy.

Katrina and Scott 6/22/19 – Minneapolis Marriott West (Brandon Holland)

Our wedding last Saturday was perfect, and our DJ Brandon H was a huge part of that. Brandon H was an absolute rockstar! He was so helpful and attentive, and he even helped us out with some unwanted wedding crashers. We absolutely loved working with him, from the moment we met him at the wedding fair, to our face to face meeting and the last dance on Saturday.We loved working with him and he put in 150% to make our wedding was the party we wanted to be. Our dance floor was packed from the very beginning of the night all the way until the end. Thank you for dealing with our crazy family and friends and for helping them all have the best night possible. People kept telling us that they couldn’t believe how much dancing there was. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t be happier!

Cassie and Jake 6/22/19 – Minnetonka Orchards (Charlie DuBois)

Everything from start to finish was wonderful & easy. We worked with Charlie who was absolutely incredible! He was sweet, tentative, professional & went absolutely above & beyond to keep everyone aware of what was going on & everything running smoothly. He absolutely killed it! I am so grateful we went with the Black Tie upgrade so that we could hand pick him & have the chance to meet with him beforehand. Truly we could not imagine our wedding day without him! – The Old Town Road Couple 🙂

Jessika and Chad 6/22/19 – Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront (Rick Ausland)

We had numerous reservations about planning a wedding in St. Paul while living in New York. We knew there would be challenges with selecting vendors since we weren’t local, but Instant Request seemed to be a solid option when we were looking at reviews and feedback from their previous clients. Since we were planning from afar, we decided to go with the Black Tie Service with Instant Request. We were assigned DJ Rick Ausland for our wedding and after meeting and working with Rick, we don’t think a better option could have been available! Rick responded to all emails and made us feel calm in the months leading up to the wedding. We had so many other things to worry about, and he constantly reassured us that we would be in good hands. We finally had a chance to FaceTime with Rick about three weeks before the wedding, and he took his time going over the Instant Request online form with us, answered all of our questions, gave us some ideas, and really made us feel comfortable that everything was going to be perfect on the day of the wedding. And you know what? Rick was right. He had all of the song choices ready to go for our ceremony and introductions. He had a plan for what kind of music to play as the dinner eventually segued into the reception. Once the dancing did start, the dance floor was never empty! We had songs that we wanted to hear, and Rick played them all. However, he also did a great job of reading the room and playing music that got our guests out of their seats. We had a perfect wedding day, and our experience with Rick and Instant Request DJ was definitely a big part of it. If you’re planning a wedding in the Twin Cities, these guys should be your first call when you’re looking for a DJ. If you’re lucky enough to get Rick, you’re in great hands and you’re going to have a great time!

Christina and Felipe 6/22/19 – Millennium Hotel (Anthony DuBose)

We chose the “Black Tie” package and had DJ Anthony D for our wedding. Anthony was recommended to us, and we loved being able to meet our DJ before the big day. My husband was very nervous about the music portion of our wedding and after meeting Anthony he was completely at ease, and all concerns were gone! Anthony had great communication leading up to the wedding and the online music planner was very easy to use and very thorough! Anthony did a lot of custom, fun stuff for us, including doing a WWE themed Grand March (with no hesitation!). The dance floor was PACKED the whole night of our wedding. Anthony did such a good job of reading the crowd and kept the vibe going all night long! We received so many compliments on Anthony and he truly made our night so much fun!! We 100% recommend Instant Request as a company and 1000% recommend Anthony!

Hayley and Kyle 6/22/19 – Almquist Farm (Andrew Najafalipour)

Andrew, our DJ through Instant Request was awesome!! He was timely in contacting us and getting an idea of what we wanted for the day, prompt in email replies, and friendly! Andrew was easy to work with, arrived early on the day, and listened to our requests and feedback. He had a great flow of music and was easy to work with. He listened to requests, and played songs when we wanted them. Very friendly and did AMAZING!!! It was reasonably priced, The online planner made it SO easy to plan our day, and the online payments were helpful! Instant Request was an outstanding DJ service!

Sheri and Darryn 6/22/19 – Private Residence (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was fantastic! He personalized our wedding and it went off without a hitch. Thank you so much!

Olivia and Joe 6/21/19 – Loring Social (Obi Okeke)

My husband and I truly believe that our dance floor was packed until the venue kicked us out because of our DJ, Obi. He was a joy to work with on top of being very talented. He made great music selections based on what we wanted and had amazing transitions between songs. It was the perfect party!

Gretchen and Alex 6/21/19 – Como Park Zoo & Conservatory (Bret Christiansen)

Now that Gretchen and I are getting settled in our new home after our wedding and honeymoon, I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated you DJ-ing our wedding at Como Park Zoo.  You truly were one of the best parts of our wedding and are a huge reason we had such a blast at our reception!  You were exactly what we were looking for in a DJ – accommodating to our custom playlist, reading the crowd well, super respectful and professional and we enjoyed seeing you having fun as well!  I hope you could tell that our friends and family appreciated you as well. We can’t thank you enough and we really appreciate you working with us!  I will definitely be recommending you for others in search of an amazing DJ for their event.

Allisia and Eric 6/21/19 – Oak Glen Golf Club (Zach Bayerl)

Amazing job from start to finish! Incredibly easy to work with. They provided a completely customized experience that played to our style!

Rachel and Bryan 6/21/19 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Brandon Holland)

Brandon (DJ Caramel Sauce) was absolutely fantastic!! We had a lot of families with small kids at our wedding, so the first part of our dance was very family-friendly. Brandon kept the music clean and upbeat until later in the evening, when the adults still remaining were able to let loose on the dance floor. We loved our experience with Brandon and Instant Request and will definitely recommend them!

Heidi and Solomon 6/21/19 – Central Park of Maple Grove (Justin Roff)

Every aspect of our experience working with Instant Request was absolutely phenomenal!  Matt was exemplary with communication and ensuring all questions were answered prior to our wedding and reception. I would HIGHLY recommend requesting Justin as your DJ as he blew all expectations out of the water. From the ceremony to the reception, every detail was on point. The dance floor was packed from the moment open dancing began until closing time. He was extremely professional and made sure all events ran smoothly and without a hiccup. If you are in search of a DJ service, look no further than Instant Request!

Courtney and Michael 6/21/19 – Minneapolis Event Center (Rick Ausland)

DJ Rick was awesome! We were very happy with our selection of Instant Request! My husband and I gave DJ Rick a list of songs we would like played but then gave him the reins to mix it up and read the crowd. He did a wonderful job and kept people on the dance floor till the lights turned on!!!!

Olivia and Ryan 6/21/19 – Hyland Park Chalet (Charlie DuBois)

DJ Charlie DuBois was so amazing! He was very nice, personable, and professional. He knew when to play what songs so that everyone could participate throughout the wedding. I only wish we could have had more time to dance!

Hannah and Luke 6/15/19 – Seven Vines Vineyard (David James)

We had an AWESOME experience with our DJ. David was great and understood the vibe we wanted to go with from the very beginning. We left our initial meeting with him feeling very good and were even more pleased after the wedding. David was kind, funny and made sure people were on the dance floor all night. I would recommend DJ David to anyone!

Megan and Drew 6/15/19 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie was the DJ at our wedding and he was AWESOME! Charlie took all of our ideas into consideration, and had great ideas himself. He was so helpful, and even secretly helped my dad pull off a surprise during his speech. Charlie had the dance floor PACKED until the final song of the night. He had a great playlist of different genres for everyone to dance to. Can’t thank him or recommend him enough!

Lizzie and Brent 6/15/19 – Minneapolis Event Center (Michael Majerowicz)

Planning our DJ experience with Instant Request was very easy. Their online planning tool helped us iron out timeline, figure out grand march entrances, and find songs we truly wanted to hear – not just a hodge-podge of “popular” wedding songs. We went with the black tie package so they did a great job selecting a DJ they felt would work well for our needs, and DJ Milk did just that. I would highly recommend this company for both their help on the front end in selecting a DJ, and the actual work done by the DJ on the day-of. DJ Milk, was personable, quick to respond on email, available for calls whenever we requested one and EXTREMELY detail oriented. We had many compliments on the DJ afterwards. Great choices of music. Understood our wants as a couple for the dance floor, but also had a great feel of when to cut a song and start something fresh if the reaction wasn’t great for a particular song. He also did a great job of inserting personal touches throughout the night between the toasts and other special moments for both me and my wife. I would highly recommend his services.

Sarah and Andrew 6/15/19 – Bad Weather Brewing Company (Dave Kellner)

Our DJ was on time, polite and played great music all night long. I was asked to fill out an extensive survey for our event, and I neglected to do it. The DJ still provided us with a great time. 100% would recommend.

Carolyn and Sean 6/15/19 – Eden Prarie Garden Room (Dario Mejia)

He did a wonderful job! Thank you so much! We where really happy. Everyone had fun!

Emily and Patrick 6/15/19 – Machine Shop (Alex Knight)

We can’t say enough great things about Instant Request and especially our DJ Alex Knight! Alex was phenomenal to work with, he did a great job of reading the crowd and playing the right music to keep the dance floor full all night long. He stayed true to our playlist and style of music and incorporated songs that everyone loved. Following the wedding, we had so many people reach out to us to say our DJ was awesome, one of the best they have ever heard at a wedding!

Madeline and Zach 6/15/19 – Minneapolis Golf Club (John Butler)

It was all really good! John was a really good DJ I thought.

Roxy and Mitch 6/15/19 – Saint John’s University (Charlie Mitchell)

Excellent! Justin R did an amazing job! The dance floor was full all night, and so many people said it was the most fun they’d had at a wedding!

Jaime Events 6/14/19 – Aria (Rick Ausland)

I worked with a great DJ from Instant Request this past weekend at a wedding at Aria. He was a great MC with announcements throughout the night, he got the crowd on the dance floor and he kept to the timeline which I appreciate as a planner. Great job!

Ashley and Carlton 6/9/19 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Rick Ausland)

We had DJ Rick for our wedding day. He was amazing to work with we had a phone consultation before our big day finalizing the detail of our reception. He could not have made our day more enjoyable and easy going. He followed our playlist and added some other songs that got everyone else dancing. We would highly recommend Instant Request for their events.

Cassie and Casey 6/8/19 – Solar Arts Build (Tom Coughlin)

We were referred to use Instant Request at our wedding and we are happy we did. DJ Tom was great and helped us on the phone go over last minute details before our wedding reception. Tom provided excellent service at our wedding reception. The day was amazing and Tom did a great job with the music! It was an awesome feeling knowing that we didn’t have to worry about how our DJ and dancing was going to be that night. Thanks for your great service!!!

Lindsey and Lucas 6/8/19 – Oak Ridge Hotel & Conference Center (Ray Bell Jr.)

Our original DJ was unable to make it to our wedding due to a medical emergency. When we got the phone call, as expected I was nervous but before I could really get panicky I saw our new DJ, Ray, setting up.  I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ray. Not only did he figure out what our requests were (some were last minute changes we had arranged with our original DJ) but Ray was also fun to work with, easy going and I could tell he truly enjoys working as a DJ.   He had minimal time prepare but nailed what I was hoping for. My boss mentioned to me that our DJ seeme very fun and he loved the music choices.   So thank you to Ray for saving our day and Instant Request for making it such a stress free transition. I couldn’t speak more highly of your company and of Ray!

Hannah and Austin 6/8/19 – Chaska Event Center (David James)

Our DJ was amazing!! He did such a great job. We had several guest comment in what a wonderful job he did. Thank you so much! Our DJ was David James, and it was the best experience we could have hoped for. He was super easy to work with, extremely friendly, and kept the dance floor popping the entire night! There was not a single moment when the dance floor wasn’t full. We have had multiple guests approach us and compliment how amazing the dance was, and a big part of that is because of David. Thank you for helping make our night special!!

Samantha and Ryan 6/8/19 – Calhoun Beach Club (Obi Okeke)

Obi did an awesome job! I really appreciate how he followed our taste preferences and kept the dance floor packed all night. I would recommend Obi at Instant Request to any friend/family member looking for a DJ

Natalie and Casey 6/8/19 – Edina Country Club (Anthony DuBose)

Our DJ was fantastic. He played great songs all night long. He had a great feel for the crowd and played the right songs to keep the dance floor full all night. Anthony was the best DJ we could have dreamed of! He was professional and kind and kept our guests on the dance floor for over 5 hours! I would highly recommend him. He is worth every penny and then some!! Please do yourselves and your guests a favor by working with Anthony!

Jessie and Peter 6/8/19 – Lowertown Event Center (Alex Knight)

Alex did an awesome job. He was great to work with and was a great match for us! Everything went according to plan, and Alex was quick to address any unexpected issues during the day. It was a pleasure working with Instant Request, and Alex, I would recommend them to anyone getting married!

DJ Andy was great. Followed our lead in music. We were thrilled!

Meghan and Paul 6/1/19 – Machine Shop (Alex Knight)

Alex Knight from Instant Request killed it. We had such a blast and no one left our wedding or the dance floor all night!!! Also, for my nerves, it was so nice to buy the whole package, so we got to talk before and Alex got to know our style. Super easy to work with, flexible and the whole process with Instant Request was a blast. I’ve used Instant Request in the past and wouldn’t pick any other DJ!! Thank you!

Katlyn and Daniel 6/1/19 – Oak Ridge Country Club (Tim Westrom)

We had the best experience with Instant Request! DJ Tim was so helpful and prepared. He was very responsive before the big day and he walked us through the whole night. He was able to really read the room for what songs to play! We would hands down recommend Instant Request for your next event.

Laura and Ryan 6/1/19 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (Justin Roff)

Instant Request was wonderful to work with! When initially calling the office staff were willing to spend lots of time chatting, and helping me select what services would best meet my needs. I selected a Black Tie DJ and was very impressed with Justin R!! He kept the evening flowing, knew how to read the crowd, and made sure to hit all of our requests! It was super helpful to spend an hour chatting with Justin a few weeks before. I highly recommend Instant Request DJ Entertainment! Incredible services. Easy to work with.

Tori and Benjamin 6/1/19 – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church (Zachary Bayerl)

DJ Zachary was awesome! He kept the dance floor moving all night and played music for all of the guests including Elvis Presley, 80’s music, and today’s hits. I would highly recommend!

We received so many guest compliments about how amazing the music was and how Anthony was the best wedding DJ they have ever had.

Kate and Sam 5/31/19 – Green Acres Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

We can not say enough good things about our experience with Instant Request DJ Entertainment. Booking the DJ and communicating with the company was seamless. Our photographer highly recommended DJ Jimmy B to us and he did an absolutely outstanding job! We never had an empty dance floor and we received numerous compliments from our guests both young and old! DJ Jimmy was great. I would and have already recommended him to multiple friends getting married in the near future. He did a great job at playing the songs we liked while keep everyone on the dance floor all night. If you like to dance and want your guests to have a great time, I would highly recommended booking with Instant Request!

Thanks Justin for helping make our wedding day that much more perfect!

Bergit and Kyle 5/26/19 – Minneapolis Golf Club (Ben Nordquist)

Having Ben Nordquist with Instant Request be our DJ was one of our best wedding planning decisions we made! Ben is the best DJ in the Twin Cities and we had the dance party of our dreams! Instant Request has an online platform where you input songs that you like. It was a really fun wedding planning activity 🙂 And it’s awesome because it helps your DJ get to know you and your music tastes. They also ask about wedding reception traditions that you do or don’t want (glass clinking, dollar dance, bouquet toss, group dances, etc.) so it’s completely tailored to your wants. We had a call with Ben two weeks before our wedding and left feeling 100% confident that he understood our vision: have an amazing dance party. (We also gave him free reign to cut even our “must play” songs if he felt like the dance was fading.) He does an amazing job transitioning songs to keep the dance going. Also, we told him that we weren’t going to kiss when people clinked glasses and were just going to ignore it. He very thoughtfully proposed that if people were really insistent on clinking, that he jump on the mic and say something like “Okay. They’ll give you this one kiss, but then, that’s it.” (That’s exactly what happened! And because he’s delightfully cheery, the message was delivered with playfulness.) In order to request a DJ (and guarantee your requested DJ), you have to do the Black Tie DJ Reservation ($200 extra). So worth it! I’m sure all of the DJs at Instant Request are awesome, but Ben Nordquist is a 20 out of 10! Thank you Ben!!

Buck and Rose Planning 5/25/19 – Aria (Jamir Hopson)

As a wedding planner in the Minneapolis community, Instant Request is one of my favorite DJ teams to work with. I recently had the opportunity to work with DJ Jamir Hopson from the Instant Request team and he was so much fun to work with! Not only that- he was on top of it, professional, kind, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Instant Request for your wedding day needs!

Thank you, David for a fabulous job! The guests had a great time and so did we.

Kristine and Jacob 5/18/19 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (David James)

Kesha and Nick 5/18/19 – Bloom Lake Barn in Shafer, MN (Kevin Fiedt)

Bridget did a wonderful job!

Kelsey and Michael 5/18/19 – Calhoun Beach Club (Justin Roff)

Some of my favorite memories will be dancing with my friends and family. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Laine and Daniel 5/18/19 – Refuge Golf Club (Jimmy Bogen)

DJ Jimmy B was amazing! We’ve been to 3 weddings with him (the last being ours!) and each one was so much fun/had the perfect mix of songs!! Can’t recommend him enough!!!

Shannon and Zach 5/18/19 – Aria (Brandon Holland)

We used Instant Request for our wedding at Aria and they were absolutely AMAZING! Brandon Holland was our DJ and he was fantastic, he was very energetic and kept people on the dance floor all night long!

Jennifer and Matt 5/17/19 – Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake (Paul Kue)

It was great. Paul did an awesome job. Highly recommend it for friends and family to use Instant Request DJ services.

Krista and Jeff 5/17/19 – Loring Social (Charlie DuBois)

We had an exceptional experience with Instant Request as we were lucky to work with DJ Charlie DuBois. We had a thoughtful and productive pre-wedding phone meeting. The day of, Charlie was everything we could have asked for–professional, attentive, laid-back and fun! We also opted to add up-lighting which enhanced the magical quality of our venue. Most importantly, our guests had a great time partying and dancing the night away. After a surprise bonus song, we left floating on cloud nine.

Danielle and Ben 5/11/19 – Steeplechase Event Center in Mazeppa, MN (Bret Christiansen)

We used Instant Request DJ Entertainment for our wedding DJ and we couldn’t be more happy! DJ Bret was very accommodating to our requests and did a great job with our outdoor ceremony despite a bit of rain right before! He was very professional and our guests loved the music he played for us! We definitely recommend Instant Request DJ!

Laura and Steve 5/11/19 – Refuge Golf Club (Jordan Nanasy)

We really enjoyed working with Instant Request. We found their online planning tool very helpful and easy to use. Jordan was our DJ for our ceremony and reception. He was very professional and did a great job with the music selection. Our guests were very happy with the music and flow, and appreciated requests being played right away. He also did a great job of setting up, and then moving and re-setting up all of the equipment when we had to move the ceremony due to rain.

Elizabeth and Jacob 5/11/19 – Hutton House (David James)

DJ David was amazing. He kept the party going and the dance floor was packed all night long. Super impressed with his work.

Sara and Cody 5/11/19 – Mermaid (Derrick King)

DJ Derek King was amazing! This company was so easy to work with, loved their wedding website and super affordable! We were able to call our DJ a week before our wedding to talk about what we wanted for our wedding. Derek not only did an amazing job with our music but came out on the dance floor with us to join in the party for our last song! I highly recommend booking them for your wedding.

Amelia and Ryan 5/11/19 – Minneapolis Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie was AMAZING! We got so many compliments about how amazing the music and everything was, and it made me and my husband so happy to even see Charlie having so much fun during the reception at the DJ booth! 10/10 recommend!

Kara and Eric 5/11/19 – Turtles 1890 Social Centre (Alex Knight)

Alex was wonderful! Many guests kept commenting on how great he was. He kept the dance floor full all night. One of the best decisions we made was to upgrade to the black tie DJ service. I would recommend Alex to anyone!!!

Alisa and Dylan 5/4/19 – 5120 Restaurant and Onyx Bar (John Butler)

John did an amazing job at our wedding! He was so easy to reach when we had questions or last minute changes. He was such a nice and and upbeat DJ. My guests loved how easy it was to request songs! He even joined us on the dance floor! I felt like John really thought about our needs and what kind of song would work at the time to keep us and our guests happy! He really made our wedding unforgettable and so fun! Thank you so much John!!

Candice and Alex 5/4/19 – Minneapolis Marriott West (Obi Okeke)

We used Instant Request for our 5/4/19 wedding and so glad that we did. They have an online event planner where you put in the details for what you want and don’t want. Very easy to use and details the entire night. We did not do the Black Tie option so we did not know who our DJ was until about 3 weeks beforehand. We were lucky to get DJ Obi O who is a black tie DJ. He did so great with what we wanted and did not want. We also had additional cultural music we wanted and he incorporated this into the mix better than imagined. He did exactly what we wanted with interaction, music and overall atmosphere. I highly recommend not only Instant Request but also DJ Obi O!!!

Cori and Jared 5/4/19 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

Andrew at Instant Request was great! He was very helpful and reassuring when we planned our reception music schedule. Andrew made sure he was ready to go right when my wedding party arrived and made the evening flow perfectly! He was respectful of our playlist and checked with me if he had any questions. Instant Request website made it so easy to plan out our wedding playlist! I’m so glad we chose Instant Request for our wedding day!

Marissa and Mike 5/4/19 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (David James)

David was fantastic to work with and kept people dancing all night! The ceremony went perfectly as well! All around a great experience.

Lindsey and Kevin 5/4/19 – Interlachen Country Club (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy is the best DJ, couldn’t recommend him more to those hosting events!  He goes above and beyond to personalize your special day. Not to mention how he interacts with the crowd and his attention to detail. Again, can’t say enough great things about Jimmy.

Maggie and Jared 5/4/19 – Minneapolis Golf Club (Justin Roff)

Justin was AWESOME!! The dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT!!!!

Michelle and Glenn 5/4/19 – Wayzata Country Club (Rick Ausland)

Thank you for providing entertainment at our wedding! Everything was perfect and professional!

Laura and Daniel 4/27/19 – Solar Arts Building (Justin Roff)

Justin was incredible. He was a great emcee throughout the night and played a selection of music that got everyone of our guests dancing. We had multiple people tell us they’ve never seen more people dancing throughout the night than at our wedding. That’s the ultimate compliment to Justin.

Claire and Toby 4/27/19 – Lowertown Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was fantastic! The dance floor was packed all night and he played exactly the type of music we were looking for. We got a Black Tie DJ and couldn’t have been happier. The dance floor was packed all night and he played exactly the type of music we wanted.

Jenny and Michael 4/20/19 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony did an amazing job! He did a better job than we could have hoped for! He got the guests excited to dance and kept the party going! Going with the black tie option and being able to meet him before our wedding was the perfect way to go! We go to chat with him beforehand and we all made sure we were on the same page! I would recommend him to anyone!

Melissa and Chris 4/13/19 – Aria (Obi Okeke)

We hired Instant Request for our wedding at Aria. We chose Obi as our DJ and could not have made a better decision. He was so amazing to work with. He was extremely organized and helped make the wedding day run smoothly. He even went out of his way to talk to the people giving speeches and gave a quick tutorial on how to talk into the mic (they were not experienced public speakers and really appreciated his advice!). I had so many people come up and tell me how fun he was! He knew how to get the crowd involved and had the dance floor full all night. Hiring Obi as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding process. I would highly highly recommend him!

Jenna and Kirk 4/13/19 – Calhoun Beach Club (David James)

DJ David and the Instant Request team were easy to work with and very affordable, given the outstanding dance floor we had! David was cool, with a confident, positive personality and many of my guests commented that it was the most fun they’d had dancing at a wedding with the best music (nothing lame, or old, at our request 😉

Tora and Matt 4/13/19 – Minneapolis Event Center (Justin Roff)

Everything was super easy with Instant Request! The online tool is a great resource to get all the details our DJ needed and it worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend this DJ service! Our DJ Justin was amazing!

Jill and Andrew 4/13/19 – Lafayette Club (Jimmy Bogen)

You surpassed my expectations. Our wedding was so fun because of you. I was worried that a DJ would be second best to a live band, but it wasn’t at all. You guys were over the top. Easy to work with and played all our requests. I highly recommend you to anyone wanting a great time.

Brittany and Louis  4/13/19 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was amazing!! Months later and we still have guests talking about how awesome our DJ was and that the dance party never stopped!! THANK YOU for being apart of our special day!

Lauren and Justin 4/13/19 – Capitol Room in St. Peter (Andrew Najafalipour)

Our DJ listened to our preferences and made sure everyone was having a good time. He played from our playlist, took requests from the guests, as well as made excellent decisions from his own experience. Highly recommend!

Rachael and Brian 4/13/19 – Whitefish Lodge & Suites in Crosslake, MN (Ryan LaRue)

Ryan was excellent! He went way above and beyond to make our day run smoothly. From organizing our guests for photos, keeping us on track for time and just generally looking after us. The music was great, the setlist encompassed all of our requests and more. Which means I spent more time dancing with our guests than visiting with them. What a blast! Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ.

Kaitlin and Cole 4/13/19 – Lowertown Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

We loved our DJ (DJ Charlie)! He honestly was amazing he listened to all of our concerns and hopes for the evening and made sure they happened/didn’t happen. We got so many compliments about how great he was after the wedding. The dance floor was constantly full, he knew how to read the room and play the right songs to keep the party going. Would definitely recommend him!!!

Kristina and Nathan 4/5/19 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie couldn’t have made it easier! He took care of everything and made the entire night run smooth. Just an all around awesome guy.

Brittany and Matt 3/30/19 – Minneapolis Golf Club (Obi Okeke)

Everyone thought the singing a song for a kiss was a blast during the dinner, which was our DJs idea! Obi started the reception off right and kept people dancing all night!

Stephanie and Daniel 3/30/19 – Landmark Center (Charlie DuBois)

It was an amazing experience. We ended up having someone try and come to the wedding that was not invited and the DJ was the first to notify me of the situation and said that he was already getting security to handle the issue. I thought this was top notch service and he truly cared about our night. I also had requested a song but did not know the name of it. He went out of his way to try and search the song and be able to play it. 5 stars for sure and would book again!

Yeongseo and Jordan 3/23/19 – Oak Glen Golf Club (Obi Okeke)

We picked Instant Request for our wedding reception in Stillwater, MN and we were very pleased with our DJ (DJ Obi). Obi did a great job communicating with us before the wedding, he personalized his services to what we wanted, and he kept the dance floor full all night. We strongly recommend DJ Obi and Instant Request.

Lindsey and Nathan 3/2/19 – 413 on Wacouta Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

We LOVED our DJ, Jimmy Bogen! Amazing! Look no further. Instant Request was super easy to work with and has an easy interface to get your DJ all the info that they will need for your perfect day. I would pay the Black Tie extra cost and get Jimmy. He was an amazing DJ and kept people dancing for 3.5 hours straight! This was a super important part of our wedding and he knocked it out of the park. Just as an FYI you will just have one meeting with your DJ about 2 weeks before the wedding. Leading up till then you can work on filling out your wedding details. This process worked just perfectly for us! DJ Jimmy will have your back 100000% and we were so lucky to have him! People danced all night and we had the best time EVER! We loved Instant Request!

Chelsea and Tyler 2/23/19 – Muse Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

We couldn’t have better things to say about Instant Request, particularly our DJ-DJ Charlie D. Charlie was amazing to work with. He was very responsive via e-mail prior to the wedding and kept the communication open through the entire process. He met us at a nearby restaurant prior to the wedding and was very helpful in assisting us structure our day – from the moment he was on the clock, to the last song at the end of the night. He was very receptive to our ideas and had many other good suggestions from other experiences – plenty of great input on how to set our day perfectly. Instant Request had everything we could ever ask for and more! Even helped get SKOL chant goin! Instant request has a talented group of DJs. Their equipment and technology appears to be top of the line. Their website has a great catalog of songs and an event planner that helps organize everything from cocktail music, to introductions, to speeches, to the do not play list and to the must play songs. The event planner really helped organize the timeline of events that follow the ceremony (or starting with the ceremony) and the process of beginning to paint the picture for our wedding day. We were told that any songs not in their library, they should be able to add them provided there is a copy available on iTunes or YouTube. When the day finally came, everything that we envisioned came to life and Charlie was a huge part of that! What is most important to Charlie was that whatever made us happiest – and he made sure to take care of whatever that was! We trusted him to keep the flow of the night exactly how we and the guests wanted it to be, but if we wanted something, he was there to deliver it for us. I couldn’t be happier with Instant Request! If you are going with the black-tie option, I would recommend you select DJ Charlie D 10 out of 10 times. Skol

Chandra and Mark 2/16/19 – The Park Ballroom (Tom Coughlin)

Instant Request was extremely organized and diligent with how they communicated with us, their online reception planner was the perfect way for me to give them all the information they needed to make our wedding night perfect! I love how they set us up with a DJ that best suited our wedding atmosphere, and LOVED that we were able to create our own music playlist. Our DJ did an excellent job with running the reception and was great about any last minute changes we had leading up to the wedding.

Amanda and Nicholas 2/9/19 – Kellerman’s Event Center (David James)

David was a wonderful DJ! We highly recommend him at your next big event. He was very accommodating to our requests and contributed to our guests enjoyment.

Rachel and Peter 2/9/19 – Minneapolis Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding! The entire experience working with Instant Request was seamless, easy and efficient. They were extremely responsive right off the bat and accommodating to our requests. Our DJ was AMAZING! He was very knowledgeable and helped guide us to make sure our day was exactly as imagined. He was also so kind! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a DJ!

Loren and Corey 2/9/19 – Day Block Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Loren and I wanted to reach out and thank you for being such a big part of our wedding day. People are still telling us what a fun party we had. I would have to say that most of that is because of you!!!

Justine and Mike 2/8/19 – Best Western Premier-Nicollet Inn (David James)

We chose the black tie package and we love our DJ! He kept the music going, was open to requests and also took our list of music and played everything that was a must for us. I would definitely, and have already, recommend Instant Request DJ to any future brides/grooms getting married or even if you’re looking for a DJ for an event. The speeches, prayer and instructions were all laid out for our guests and they knew what was happening the whole night!

Rebecca and Aaron 2/2/19 – The Neu Neu Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

Our DJ was absolutely FANTASTIC! Charles made sure things ran smoothly and went through all the finer details thoroughly with us beforehand. We had a first-time officiant (friend) and he made sure to connect with him before the ceremony to make him feel comfortable. The music was the perfect mixture of old and new to keep people dancing all night. Thank you so much for making this process simple!

Carly and Fred 2/2/19 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Jimmy Bogen)

DJ was fantastic and did a gret job of keeping the guests on the dance floor for the majority of the night. Thank you so much!!!

Emily and Paul 1/26/19 – Lynhall (Charlie DuBois)

We truly enjoyed and appreciated the professionalism and expertise from Instant Request. Please also send our regards to Charlie. He was such a phenomenal DJ and our guests loved the dancefloor – we did too. He also took so much care in our ceremony, it was absolutely perfect. He was fantastic to work with and he did such a seamless job working with the Lynhall staff and our coordinator. Our wedding day was just unforgettable and Charlie brought the energy and talent we had hoped for. Charlie – Thank you soooo much for your fantastic DJ’ing of our wedding, it was such a memorable night and you helped really elevate the night from the ceremony, to reception and to making for a fun and crowded dance floor. Our friends and family had a blast dancing at the end of the night…and as you saw, no one wanted to leave at close! Thanks for being so accommodating with our few day-of requests. Thank you for making our wedding day such a memorable and fun day. Thank you!

Miriam and Paulo 1/26/19 – Campus Club of the University of Minnesota (Alex Knight)

Alex K did a great job at DJing at our wedding! He kept the energy going with a mix of American and Persian music and even a little bit of Portuguese! He made sure to play some of the songs from our own playlist as well as other songs to complement our selection. He was very accommodating to guests’ song requests and at the same time, respected our wishes in terms of songs not to play. Overall, he understood what we wanted for our wedding night and made sure it was carried through. Thank you!

Samantha and Jessica 1/26/19 – 5120 Restaurant and Onyx Bar (Jimmy Bogen)

Really loved our experience – the DJ was great, kept the energy up and got most of our guests to the dance floor, young and old. He really listened to our requests, even the weird ones, haha, and had great suggestions as well. Wonderful experience for a great price – can’t recommend enough!

Tara and Jake 1/19/19 – Olde Coliseum in Richmond, MN (Andy Gensch)

We wanted to leave a quick note regarding our experience with Instant Request and our DJ. We had the pleasure of having Andy G as our DJ. He did an amazing job! He was professional, polite, fun and genuinely worked to make our day run as smoothly and as perfectly as we had hoped. We had numerous comments from guests on how well Andy did with both the sound and the music that was played. We highly recommend Instant Request and DJ Andy! The online event planner was incredibly easy to use and made us feel so organized. In addition, Andy was great at making sure we had open communication prior to our wedding in case we needed anything. We are so grateful that we made the decision to have Instant Request be a part of our day. Thank you DJ Andy! It was a great pleasure to work with you!

Anna and Ryan 1/19/19 – Interlachen Country Club (Justin Roff)

Our DJ Justin R was outstanding at our wedding reception. Very professional with a comforting style. Full dance floor all night long. Justin helped with questions about the website and spent a fair amount of time with us. The evening was special and Justin helped make that happen. Thank you Justin!

Hannah and Ross 1/19/19 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (Jimmy Bogen)

We had an awesome experience with Jimmy B and Instant Request!  Through Jimmy and the online planner we were able to easily design how we wanted our ceremony and reception to sound and the results were exactly what we wanted. Jimmy was very personable and a great MC that was able to keep people dancing the entire night.

Christina and Alexander 1/12/19 – Lafayette Club (Rick Ausland)

I wanted to shoot you a quick note and let you know how impressed we were by Rick at our wedding. We had very high expectations headed into our wedding. Somehow Rick surpassed those extremely lofty expectations. Rick accommodated each and every one of our unique song requests and even used his expansive skill set to tailor our first dance into a memory that will last a lifetime. The dance floor was PACKED from the moment Rick began his playlist after dinner. Several our of guests reached out after the wedding and mentioned how spectacular our DJ was. We will be recommending Rick to all of our family and friends going forward.

Mary Jo and Ben 1/12/19 – New City Covenant Church (Obi Okeke)

Was great to have Obi dj our wedding in January. He made the party live and made it a night to remember! I would recommend Obi to anyone looking for a DJ who brings spice and funk to the dance floor! Big Thanks too my guy Obi!

Claire and Alex 1/5/19 – Hewing Hotel (David James)

David was our wedding DJ and did an incredible job! He asked about our music preferences and what vibe we were going for in advance and executed perfectly. He was extremely professional, super fun, and I would recommend him and Instant Request to everyone!

Tania and Brandon 1/5/19 – Crowne Plaza Minneapolis West in Plymouth (Alex Knight)

Everyone was dancing on the dance floor. Our Dj for our wedding alex knight was amazing. He listened to my husband and I, he came up to us to let us know what was going on, and he kept people on the dance floor!

Abbey and Federico 1/5/19 – St. Paul College Club (Bengi Durgunoglu)

We did the black tie option…Amazing experience! Benji was the best! We talked once over the phone before the wedding and he was so organized, asking all of the right questions to get the whole evening planned from cocktail hour to first dance to entrances and speeches and even asking what we would want for the last song of the night. He even went out of his way to get to know us before the wedding and to understand and accommodate our crazy requests (my husband is from another country and we wanted some specific music/traditions at the dance). He was in tune with the crowd – if he noticed people leaving, he knew to switch the song or change it up naturally. The dance floor was packed until the end of the night and people told me that this was the most fun they had at a wedding dance.

Nicole and Zach 12/31/18 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (Andy McClure)

Great experience! Kept our dance floor full all night long.

Anna and Adam 12/29/18 – Semple Mansion (Michael Majerowicz)

We have attended a few weddings since our own, and each one has made us realize how great DJ Milk and the Instant Request DJ staff was. We had a a short engagement and looking for a DJ was one of the last things we completed before our wedding, but the staff was prompt with communication and did a great job working with our requests. DJ Milk was personable, had some great ideas for getting our crew out on the dance floor, and made the evening fun! The lighting they set up was also beautiful.

Mackenzie and Anders 12/28/18 – Seven Vines Vinyard (Anthony DuBose)

We used Instant Request for our wedding. They were great from start to finish, and made the entire process incredibly easy. DJ Anthony was awesome at the wedding and reception- outgoing, energetic, and had people dancing all night. Thank you for making our day extra special!

Rachel and Baxter 12/28/18 – St. Paul Hotel (Jimmy Chien)

Jimmy Chien was the DJ for both my daughter’s weddings in 2017 and 2018. He is OUTSTANDING. Everyone loved him and ‘cut the rug’ — young and old alike! He is reliable, personable, energetic, respectful. Jimmy is the BEST! Thank you so much! Would highly recommend!

Megan and Cordell 12/15/18 – Courtyard Minneapolis Downtown (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy B did our wedding in December and he did amazing, we highly recommend him. He kept everyone on the dance floor and played everything we wanted! I couldn’t be more happy with the music selection and emceeing. 

Vanessa and Brady 12/14/18 – Hutton House (Jimmy Bogen)

Instant Request, as always, did a FANTASTIC job! I’ve attended several weddings where Instant Request was used as a DJ, so when it came to planning my own wedding – it was a no brainer! Jimmy did a FANTASTIC job at keeping the dance floor alive and playing songs to get everyone up and dancing! I wanted the dance to go all night long. 11/10 recommend Instant Request for anyone looking for quality, friendly and supreme service!

Stephanie and Mike 12/14/18 – Lowertown Event Center (Alex Knight)

Instant Request was a great choice for DJ! Everything was so easy from the get go. The profile you set up on their website walks you through every detail and was so helpful. We got paired up with Alex K for our DJ….and he was AMAZING. We had our pre-wedding call to plan out the ceremony and reception. He gave great advice and was really fun and helpful. At the wedding- he was the best! He kept us on schedule, helped chase down the wedding party for the grand entrance, and kept the dance floor full all night. We were thrilled with Alex and highly recommend him and Instant Request. Also- very reasonable priced. Worth every penny.

Jacobs Marketing 12/13/18 – Minneapolis Event Center (Obi Okeke)

We have used Instant Request DJ Entertainment for our Corporate Holiday Party the last two years and they have been fabulous! Extremely competitive pricing for how great the service is. We had DJ Obi for both events and he is seriously amazing! He does a great job of reading the crowd, playing new and old favorites, and is extremely quick and easy to communicate with. I would recommend Instant Request and particularly DJ Obi for any event!

Rebecca and Alex 12/8/18 – Lowertown Event Center (Andy Gensch)

We worked with Andy from Instant Request for our wedding this past weekend and he was phenomenal!! We had 2 pre-wedding calls with him where we built the entire DJ plan for the evening and he made sure we felt comfortable with how the evening was going to go. Andy kept the energy up during the entire reception – which I was extremely impressed with! He knew how to read the room and started with some of the older classic songs that young & older guests enjoyed dancing to and then moved into the more contemporary party music towards the end of the night. He also made sure we got an all-wedding party photo out on the dance floor before the evening of dancing kicked off – which I will treasure forever! I would highly recommend Andy and Instant Request to any future engaged couples looking for an awesome DJ!

Margaret and Sean 12/8/18 – Horse and Hunt Club (Bret Christiansen)

We had Bret for our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic! He kept people on the dance floor all night! Bret was also very organized and kept everything on schedule during our big day. I would highly suggest Instant Request and put in a request for Bret as well!

Katie and Alex 12/8/18 – Hutton House (Justin Roff)

I have worked in the wedding industry for a few years and when I saw Justin Roff with Instant Request, DJ a wedding, I knew that was who I wanted for mine. He got all of our guests out on the dance floor immediately and kept them there for the whole night. He is extremely personable, and very good at reading a crowd. We have had so many guests comment about what a wonderful job he did and we will definitely be recommending him to everyone we know!

Emily and Victor 12/8/18 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie was FANTASTIC! Some of the most memorable parts of our wedding are because of him. He was SO MUCH fun. He welcomed all our crazy ideas, including a paper airplane contest as part of the reception, & executed them flawlessly! He made our Swedish guests SO happy when he played several of their Swedish requests. But most importantly, Charlie was so patient & kind during our initial conversation. He walked us through every single step of the wedding day & is a BIG reason we had a perfect day!

Anna and Matthew 12/8/18 – Dellwood Country Club (Anthony DuBose)

We chose the “Black Tie” package and had DJ Anthony D for our wedding. Anthony was recommended to us, and we loved being able to meet our DJ before the big day. My husband was very nervous about the music portion of our wedding and after meeting Anthony he was completely at ease, and all concerns were gone! Anthony had great communication leading up to the wedding and the online music planner was very easy to use and very thorough! Anthony did a lot of custom, fun stuff for us, including doing a WWE themed Grand March (with no hesitation!). The dance floor was PACKED the whole night of our wedding. Anthony did such a good job of reading the crowd and kept the vibe going all night long! We received so many compliments on Anthony and he truly made our night so much fun!! We 100% recommend Instant Request as a company and 1000% recommend Anthony!

Amanda and Wesley 12/7/18 – Capitol Room in St. Peter (Justin Roff)

Our DJ, Justin Roff, was amazing. Easy to work with, very friendly and didn’t hesitate to accommodate any requests we had. Justin was able to read the atmosphere of the room and keep people dancing and moving. The website to set up the playlist is fairly easy and straight forward Highly recommended!

Emily and Luke 12/1/18 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Brandon Holland)

Thank you so much for making our special day a freakin party! We had so much fun dancing all night, and the music selection was spot on! Between the Spice Girl reunion, Dead Skunk and Trap Queen, you 100% gave us everything we asked for and more! Thank you!

Morgen and James 12/1/18 – Lowertown Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

From our first meeting with you we knew you were the best DJ for our big day. We can’t say thank you enough! Our guests continue to sing your praise as well. We can’t wait to recommend you for years to come. we are sending all our best to you as you plan your big day as well!

Bailey and Joe 11/24/18 – Landmark Center (Charlie DuBois)

We were so pleased with our DJ choice! Charlie helped us plan out the timing of the reception and then keep it on track, all while playing exactly the kind of music we were hoping for! Charlie checked in frequently throughout the night, played all of our “must play” songs, and was just plain fun! He also helped to perfectly emcee our donation jar in lieu of clinking glasses.

Julia and Christian 11/24/18 – Earle Brown Heritage Center (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony DuBose was INCREDIBLE! We met in person to go over the logistics of the evening and he had people on the dance floor all night long! I can not say enough incredible things about him and Instant Request!

Christina and Michael 11/17/18 – Minneapolis Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Amazing experience for our wedding! The office was in contact with us through the planning process, once a DJ was assigned about 2 weeks before the event , DJ Jimmy Bogen reach out first thing to discuss specifics on the event. We gave him minimal guidelines and told him we just wanted a good dance party for the reception. Jimmy absolutely killed it. We and all our guests had a blast and Jimmy playing excellent music the whole night. He even helped the father of the bride out on his speech upon his request. 100% recommend. Thanks again!!!

Molly and Bryton 11/17/18 – Landmark Center (Zachary Bayerl)

DJ Zachary did an outstanding job with our wedding! The dance floor was packed all night and music was awesome! Would definitely him for anyone needing a DJ for an event! Thank you so much for making our wedding the party of the year! You truly have a gift of keeping people on the dance floor with smiles on their faces. We could not have chosen a more perfect DJ!

Allison and Patrick 11/17/18 – Gale Mansion (Rick Ausland)

A huge thank you to Rick for being an incredible DJ! We turly enjoyed the process and our dance floor was incredible the whole night thanks to his expertise. Thanks for everything!

Ashley and David 11/10/18 – Majestic Oaks Golf Club (Allie Pasiuk)

We absolutely LOVED our DJ Allie! She was very personable and genuinely interested in making our day fun and relaxed! She arrived early and greeted us with a big hug. Allie checked in with us and even our families throughout the social hour and supper. Dance floor was packed most of the night and never had less than 12-15 people on it, she had a great progression of music for the different age groups as the night went on. We still get compliments and can’t say enough about how awesome she is!

Ashley and John 11/10/18 – Central Park in Woodbury (Holden Bothun)

Our DJ was fantastic, the service was excellent, and the web infrastructure made the process easy and enjoyable.

Anja and Waseem 11/10/18 – Windows on MN (David James)

Great DJ. I am glad that I choose Instant Request.

Kelly and Colby 11/3/18 – McNamara Alumni Center (Charlie DuBois)

We worked with Instant Request for our wedding DJ and were blown away with the service. We had DJ Charlie and he nailed it. People were on the dancefloor all night long and he knew just what to play at all of the right moments. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience. Professional, responsive and overall great to work with!!!

Kirsten and Evan 11/3/18 – Villa Bellezza in Pepin, WI (Andrew Najafalipour)

Andrew N. from Instant Request was THE PERFECT DJ for us. Our dance was one of the most important things to me and thanks to Andrew it went off flawlessly and people were on the dance floor all night! Andrew stuck to our songs and played them in an order that made total sense. I barely had time to go to the bathroom because we were having so much fun! In addition, Andrew was organized and prompt with moving things along during the dinner into the reception. Highly recommend!

Taya and Joel 10/27/18 – Holiday Inn and Suites in Lakeville (Dave Kellner)

Dave was so awesome at our wedding! His music selection he played was just right for the crowd and even threw in some songs we had pre-requested at the right time!

Jayme and Jordan 10/26/18 – Kellerman’s Event Center

 

Charlie did a fabulous job, providing everything from ceremony to dinner to reception music. He listened to what we did and did not want to hear. Hands down, a great DJ at a very fair price! He is highly recommended. Have referred his services to a couple of people that are planning their weddings in the next year or so. Thank you, Instant Request!

Rachel and Ty 10/26/18 – Machine Shop (Justin Roff)

Highly recommend- specifically Justin Roff! He did an amazing job and our guests loved him and the playlist! Justin has excellent communication skills and is very professional. Justin was able to keep the dance floor packed all night! Book Instant Request Black Tie- Justin Roff if he is available!

Allison and Cody 10/20/18 – Town and Country Club (Justin Roff)

We had a great experience with Instant Request DJ! Justin R. was a great DJ and was a lot of fun to work with. Meeting with him prior to the wedding date made the day run very smoothly. He was great at getting the guests to dance and interact and was also great at accommodating some special requests our families had for first dances, special songs for family, etc. Would highly recommend Instant Request to future couples!

Wendy and Eric 10/20/18 – Theodore Wirth Chalet (Bret Christiansen)

They communicate really quickly and their website is easy to use. Our DJ, Bret, was fantastic. He made sure he understood what we wanted, played a great mix of music and even found a old polka song requested by grandparents. We received so many compliments about him and his service. We highly recommend Bret!!

Rebecca and Brent 10/20/18 – Next Chapter Winery (Jamir Hopson)

Awesome DJ! Kept the music going and did a great job keeping the party going!

Sarah and Braden 10/19/18 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Alex Knight)

Keshia and Marc 10/19/18 – FIVE Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Jim. So fun and professional. Highly recommended.

Natasha and Sean 10/18/18 – Paikka (Brandon Holland)

My wife and I were 100% pleased with Instant Request DJ. Trying to pick a DJ for your wedding day can be a difficult task, but Instant Request made it extremely simple with their many options. Also, come to the actual wedding day, our DJ keep the party going all night as he did a great job with the music as well as announcements and requests. We would highly recommend them!

Paige and Jarred 10/13/18 – Lafayette Club (Charlie DuBois)

Do not hesitate when booking this company. It was first class from the start. DJ Charlie was nothing short of amazing. Thank you DJ Charlie and Instant Request

Angela and Jeremy 10/12/18 – Theodore Wirth Chalet (Jimmy Bogen)

This is a great company and we couldn’t have been happier with our results. Instant Request has great responsiveness, planning, the playlist tools, their professionalism, and their overall performance on the wedding day.  We had Jimmy B as our DJ, he was outstanding. He did a great job mixing in our specific songs, listening to what we wanted, filling in additional music in-line with our wishes, and making sure everyone had a great time.  Additionally, Instant is very price competitive compared to the competition, with a great track record of satisfied customers like myself and it shows. I would highly recommend and refer others to use Instant Request for their wedding.

Kara and Mike 10/12/18 – Aria (Alex Knight)

Instant Request, and specifically our DJ Alex Knight, made our wedding so amazing! Alex had everyone on the dance floor for the majority of the time, and did a great job reading the crowd and adjusted the music accordingly. We loved the ability to incorporate an online planner as well through Instant Request, but appreciated Alex’s adjustments and improvements throughout the night. Highly recommend!!!!!

Samantha and Kyle 10/6/18 – Minneapolis Golf Club (David James)

Working with Instant Request was so wonderful! Matt made the initial process of booking a DJ super easy and their online profile made planning a breeze! Our DJ, David James, was outstanding! He played so many great songs, accommodated all our requests, and was able to read the room to keep the party going all night! Our dance floor was packed from start to finish and so much of that was due to David!

Angela and Dustin 10/6/18 – Vadnais Heights Commons (Justin Roff)

We loved our DJ, Justin R! He was great, very professional, and kept our guests on the dance floor! We had a great meeting with him as part of the black tie package a few weeks before our event and he was helpful and understood what we wanted for our reception, and he delivered! The only negative experience I had throughout the process was that the DJ we booked initially had to cancel on us ~6 months prior to our wedding due to personal obligations. We found another DJ (Justin) who ended up being great, but the communication with the company during the process of having one DJ cancel and being assigned another was confusing and frustrating!

Janelle and Travis 10/6/18 – Minneapolis Marriott West (Bryan Jacobson)

Bryan was great and kept the guests dancing all night. He was outgoing and extremely interactive with the crowd. He was very accommodating with our requests and did an awesome job all around. We definitely would recommend Instant Request all day every day!

Kendra and Lee 10/6/18 – Nisswa Community Center (Alex Knight)

DJ Alex was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were worried about having the right DJ and Alex was everything we hoped for!

Ellen and Ethan 10/6/18 – Hyland Park Chalet (Kailen Nelson)

We had a great experience with Instant Request. Our DJ, Kailen, was very professional, had great suggestions for songs that would work for different activities and was really good at adapting to keep the party going. Super fun night!

Amanda and Jeremy 10/6/18 – Gale Mansion (Jamir Hopson)

Got all my family to get up and dance. Great to work with! Looking for a DJ in Minneapolis? Stop and book instant request! You will not regret it!

Anna and Stephen 10/6/18 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Andy McClure)

Andy, from Instant Request, was amazing! He was so good at communicating with us throughout the night and he was able to read the crowd in order to play just the right songs at the right time. One compliment we kept getting about the reception was how great the DJ was along with the song selection. We had the kids allll the way to the grandparents on the dance floor throughout the night. He did an excellent job.

Brittany and Aaron 10/6/18 – Residence (Rick Ausland)

We had DJ Rick and he literally CRUSHED IT! We went for the black tie service and got to meet with him beforehand and he is just the best. He confirmed how to pronounce everyone’s names, took notes on everything we talked about, and was just so nice. Then the day of, he was so fun! Did a lot of cool mixing, played all the best songs, our dance floor was packed the whole time! When he was packing up he even came over and enjoyed some late night snack with me, my hubby and my parents. Just the best dj ever! 

Kayla and Jake 10/6/18 – Holiday Inn and Suites in Lakeville

Our DJ was incredible. He read the room and played music everyone was dancing to. Our aunts and uncles who dont dance were on the floor all night long! I couldn’t be happier!  Randy was absolutely amazing! The company gives you a form to fill out online with all of the details you want for the night. Randy and I talked about the night a week before and he knew exactly what I wanted. He asked me 3 times throughout the night if I was ready to start speeches, dances or the tosses. Otherwise he handled the night and everyone LOVED the music!

Alisha and Brian 10/6/18 – Banquets of Minnesota (Jordan Nanasy)

For our 160 guest wedding earlier this month, we had Jordan Nanasy as our DJ and he was PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!! The dance floor was full of people the entire night, he gladly (and quickly) played requests that we had. We thankfully have a similar taste in music genres, so he played a good variety of songs and we all had an absolute blast. He was so fun, easy going, and great to work with! He even came out to dance with us for the last song of the night! I loved being able to customize playlists and genres for our ceremony and reception with the Instant Request profile site, too. Great cost, loved the company, Jordan was the best– highly recommend!! 🙂

Janelle and Travis 10/6/18 – Minneapolis Marriott West (Bryan Jacobson)

Bryan was great and kept the guests dancing all night. He was outgoing and extremely interactive with the crowd. He was very accommodating with our requests and did an awesome job all around. We definitely would recommend Instant Request all day every day!

Wannida and Spencer 10/5/18 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

My husband and I highly recommend working with Instant Request! We worked with Andrew and he was professional, timely, and really knew how to DJ instead of just pressing buttons! We worried that guests wouldn’t really dance, but we were pleasantly surprised to see that the dance floor was never empty! Instant Request also worked with us to gather music that wasn’t in their database and it worked out really well! We highly recommend Instant Request!!

Haily and Nicholas 10/5/18 – Somerby Golf Club (Zach Bayerl)

Zachary was a phenomenal DJ, there wasn’t a dull moment on the dance floor and we couldn’t be more thankful! Instant Request was a great choice and I will definitely recommend them in the future! 🙂

Shannon and Cristian 9/30/18 – Aria (Zachary Bayerl)

Instant Request made everything very steady and smooth. They have a great song selection to choose from and are as engaging with the crowd as you want them to be. Definitely recommend them for your wedding!

Elizabeth and Corey 9/29/18 – Midland Hills Golf Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

We requested Instant Request off a friend’s recommendation and could not be more impressed. From the beginning we found the process to be efficient and simple. I loved using their online party planner to coordinate the big day and create our playlist. Our DJ Andrew N. Was fantastic. He read the crowd, was incredibly helpful, and very communicative. I eve give him props for managing rowdy quests with song requests and demands. He went with the flow and kept everyone dancing all night. We were soooo happy with how it all turned out!

Molly and Tim 9/29/18 – Floral Hall (Andy McClure)

Very impressed with DJ Andy. No one left the floor for 4 hours straight. He was very professional the entire night. We had worries about the acoustics in our reception venue as it was not standard wedding venue but more of a giant stone building, guests in the far corner complimented the clarity of the speeches.

Melissa and Nate 9/29/18 – JX Event Venue (Justin Roff)

We were so happy with our DJ Justin Roff! He was attentive throughout the night to my wife and I. He checked in with us about music volume during dinner, providing mics for the speeches, and song requests. Our guests had a blast listening to a wide variety of music that all fit together seamlessly. The dance floor was full for the majority of the night. We had many comments on how much fun the night was and Justin played a huge role in that. I would highly recommend Justin and Instant Request for their DJ services. Thanks for contributing to our wonderful wedding!

Ellary and Holdyn 9/29/18 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Obi Okeke)

DJ Obi did our wedding and did an awesome job! Played everything we wanted and didn’t play anything we didn’t want. We had a pretty specific list of what we wanted played and he made it work perfect. He is a very talented DJ and how he mixes his songs and fades in and out of songs was great. If you want to get the people dancing and having a good time, my man Obi is the DJ for you.

Crystalyn and Stephen 9/29/18 – Holiday Inn and Suites in Lakeville (Charlie DuBois)

5 STARS! We absolutely loved working with DJ Charlie DuBois. He was super friendly, very professional, always checking in with us, and was even on the dance floor with us for a little bit! He was an absolute blast and I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you Charlie for helping to make our wedding reception go smoothly and for making sure everyone was having fun all night!!!

Ashley and Tom 9/29/18 – Hyland Park Chalet (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy Bogen was our DJ for our wedding and he was amazing!! I can’t recommend him enough. Our dance floor was packed all night and he seriously played the best songs. I received so many comments on the music. He was incredibly professional and responded immediately to emails. Awesome job!!

Dana and Adam 9/29/18 – Jefe: Urban Hacienda (Anthony DuBose)

We had Anthony and just like every other bride in MN – had an excellent experience. I couldn’t have asked for more. He was great at our in person meetings and even better on the day of! Communication is easy and prices are fair. Hire him if you can!!! He’ll be you’re best decision.

Kayla and Cody 9/28/18 – Birch Hill Barn (David James)

Working with instant DJ was wonderful! David James Allison was our DJ and let me say he was absolutely awesome! We had so many compliments on his energy and variety of music. We did a phone interview just to go over the time line which was really nice. He played everything we asked for and really knew how to make our guests have a great time! You will have the best going with instant DJ!

Shelby and Ben 9/28/18 – Winehaven Winery (Jimmy Bogen)

Instant request was a great company to work with! They got back to us promptly whenever we had a question! Jimmy B. Was the greatest DJ and I am so glad a friend recommended the black tie package to book him! We got to meet with him ahead of time and go over music! He kept our guests dancing all night!

 

Natalie and Jay 9/28/18 – Capitol Room (Alex Knight)

Our DJ, Alex Knight, was INCREDIBLE! The wedding dance was very very important to my husband and I, and Alex knocked it out of the park. Our dance floor was full all night, which was exactly what I was hoping for! He was fun, down to earth, and very professional. We loved working with Instant Request in general, too – their online planning system is very thorough and made sure EVERY detail of the night, from the processional song to the last song of the night, was accounted for and planned out. We would hire them again and again. Thank you Instant Request!

Brittney and Darin 9/28/18 – Edinburgh USA Golf Club (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie Dubois was utterly amazing! Did the $200 to get the black tie service, meeting with him and planning everything out was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding! He totally understood the night we wanted was in constant contact to keep us on time for what we wanted, and ROCKED the party!!! BEST DJ EVER!!! So professional, and knew exactly our vision and kept it that way!! He kept the party in control and fun…Look no further, he was AMAZING!! Love, the Sogges 09.28.18

Iryna and Rob 9/23/18 – Outpost Center (David James)

I was hired to run a dance party at a wedding, with few line dancing and a partner slow dance lesson by a couple who also previously took dancing lessons for their 1st dance! Dave Allison was the DJ and we had so much fun working together! He was quick to find the music I needed, listened to how I usually run things and on a spot we created a great team! Some people even asked me if we were from the same company! All night he played the best music! Please ask for Dave Allison when considering a DJ! He was easy, fun and a delight to work with!

 

Kelsey and Grant 9/22/18 – Solar Arts Building (Andy McClure)

We were so happy to have Andy as our DJ. He worked so well with the venue coordinator to maintain the flow of the night. We talked on the phone a few weeks prior and felt like he really understood things we wanted or didn’t want. He kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Our friends still tell us that everyone talks about how great our DJ was. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

Aubree and Josh 9/22/19 – Green Haven Banquet Center (Rick Ausland)

Rick A was the BEST! He took all our requests and made the guests have so much fun! Our friends still talk about how he was their favorite part of our wedding reception!

Jess and Katie 9/22/18 – Green Acres Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

We had Jimmy B as our DJ for our September wedding and he was BEYOND amazing! We first saw Jimmy perform at our friend’s wedding and instantly knew we wanted him as our DJ for our wedding. Jimmy sat down with us and really narrowed down the feel we wanted for our wedding. Jimmy was organized and put us at ease when we couldn’t think of every song we wanted to play. The music was high quality and the equipment was pristine! We received so many compliments about our reception and how Jimmy made the people who normally will not dance, dance the night away! We HIGHLY recommend Jimmy for your wedding reception! Thanks again Jimmy!

Breanna and Benjamin 9/22/18 – Charleston Event Center (Kailen Nelson)

The DJ that was provided was very professional and fun! He knew how to read a crowd and play the correct music! Great service, very professional and overall a great price. Being able to choose songs to make sure they are played and ones that you don’t want to be played is awesome. He was able to read the crowd and help bring people to the dance floor or encourage them to go get drinks.

Madelynn and Christopher 9/22/18 – Villa Bellezza (Justin Roff)

Justin Roff was our DJ for our 9-22 wedding and did an AMAZING job! Everyone loved him and the dance floor was packed all night. In our phone-meeting prior to the wedding he was very thorough in asking questions to get to know us, the crowd, and what we were looking for. I would highly recommend Justin for your wedding DJ!

Abbie and Tim 9/21/18 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

Instant Request was amazing! Charlie was so fun to work with and did an amazing job, the dance floor was filled all night! One of the biggest things guests commented on after our wedding was what a wonderful selection and mix of music Charlie played and how much fun they had dancing because the music was so good! We’re so grateful to have worked with Instance Request who made the whole process so easy and Charlie who made our reception one of the best parts of day!!

Carrie and Jordan 9/21/18 – Weddings in Echo Valley (Tim Westrom)

Our wedding dance was the most important thing to us. We have so many friends and family members who love to dance and we knew it would be important to have a great DJ. We were SO happy with our DJ. He made our night so easy and relaxed, and played songs he knew would keep everyone on the dance floor. Thanks guys!

Melissa and Nick 9/22/18 – Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery (Anthony DuBose)

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Black Tie DJ Anthony D – we received countless compliments and he kept everyone on the floor all night long. It was perfect to meet with him ahead of time to run through details and get an idea of who we would be working with on our special day. Thank you for your attention to detail and stellar customer service!

Kari and Tyler 9/21/18 – Wellstead of Rogers (Ryan LaRue)

We used this company as a DJ because of a recommendation and it turned out great! To us, the dancing and music was a very important part of our evening. We requested DJ Ryan and he was awesome! He met with us ahead of time and asked us a lot of questions we would have never thought of! He did a great job leading the reception and transitioning between parts of the evening. The dancing was also great! He played music everyone could relate to and we got so many compliments on the music selection. Overall we would highly recommend instant request.

Paige and Daniel 9/21/18 – Blackberry Ridge Golf Course (Obi Okeke)

We had Obi and he was absolutely the best Dj I have ever heard, from the mixing to the variety of music. Our request for certain songs for our ceremony was no problem for him, his personality had our guest happy and had them dancing. Obi is also really musically inclined and so that helps his hear the sounds and rhythm better and creates these mixes I have never would’ve thought of. If you book Instant Request, ask for Obi, you will not be disappointed!

Caitlin and Travis 9/21/18 – Bloom Lake Barn (Andrew Najafalipour)

My husband and I had Andrew at our wedding and we can’t complain! He was very professional, timely, and knew exactly when to do everything! I would highly recommend them! He also did our ceremony music and that was great too!

Brittany and Brock 9/16/18 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (David James)

We had such a positive experience with Instant Request and DJ David!! David was so buttoned up and professional, and was extremely receptive to every ask/callout that we had. The planning tool made it very easy to hold yourself accountable and be prepared for the big day as well. It helped guide you through the ceremony and reception, and helped alleviate the stress of having to think through/plan every detail on your own. We would absolutely utilize Instant Request again and again!

Brittany and Maxwell 9/15/18 – Landmark Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Instant Request was amazing to work with. They held our date and made sure everything was perfect. The lighting was AMAZING, it definitely transformed the space. The only reason I am rating 4/5 stars instead of 5/5 because on the website it more than once double charged us when we went to make a payment. Day of we had a lot of requests, which we should have told our DJ to stop taking requests and play music that we picked! I would recommend for future brides to let their DJ know they only want a certain amount of guest requested songs!

Anna and Jonathan 9/15/18 – Creekside Farm Weddings & Events (Obi Okeke)

DJ Obi was AMAZING. From the first time we spoke with Obi, we knew we were in good hands. Obi had the dance floor packed the entire night. Any time the dance floor started to clear, Obi mixed in a different song and immediately drew more people onto the dance floor. If you are looking for a DJ who can create unique mixes, read a crowd and keep your dance floor packed all night long, stop your search and book DJ Obi!! The mixes Obi created were incredible and so unique – we still have guests raving out about the music. Dj Obi is incredibly personable, genuine and cares about the couples he works with. I can’t say enough good things about him – he was truly the best. Not only a is Obi a fantastic DJ but a wonderful person inside and out.

Jessica and Chris 9/15/18 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

We loved our DJ Andrew! We had about an hour worth of songs that we asked him to play and let him pick the rest. The dance floor was packed from 8pm until 11:15pm (last song)! We would highly recommend Instant Request because their website is easy to use and our DJ was amazing and we received many compliments afterwards.

Demi and Ryan 9/15/18 – Aria (Anthony DuBose)

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. You read the crowd perfectly and kept everyone dancing all night. We are so grateful and will never forget you.

Christina and Scott 9/15/18 – Majestic Oaks Golf Club

Our DJ, Nico was so awesome! He was so funny, he pleased the whole party with great music all night! He even joined us on the dance floor a few times! He was wonderful to work with, the professionalism is well worth the money when you go with Instant Request. The online event planner was perfect for us, easy to go through on your own time. Definitely a low stress way to go!

Tessa and Joel 9/15/18 – Private Residence (Daniel Jones)

We are SO impressed with the service we received from Daniel at Instant Request! From the first time we talked on the phone, to extra text messages before our wedding day and everything in between, he was always so flexible and wanted to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. We added a few fun touches to our reception and Daniel was more than willing to learn about them and make sure they were added. The dance floor was completely full the whole entire night! Thank you SO much Daniel and Instant Request!! We cannot recommend you enough!

Amanda and Zachary 9/15/18 – Private Residence (Holden Bothun)

Instant request was great to work with! We ended up having Holden as our DJ and he was super genuine and sweet- he went with the flow the whole time! There was a bit of a hiccup which they explained was extremely rare but we were originally assigned one DJ that kind of disappeared out of no where. He never responded to our emails and actually hung up on us when we called him! BUT Holden saved the day! We didn’t get a consultation until days before our wedding but it all turned out so wonderful. Thanks Instant Request!

Andrea and Mitchell 9/15/18 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Charlie DuBois)

Instant Request was recommended to us by every wedding venue we toured, and we clearly see why. Charlie kept our guests dancing all night long! The online planning tool is top-notch too, and made the whole process very easy.

Becca and Conor 9/14/18 – Plymouth Creek Center (Tom Coughlin)

Instant Request was one of the best choices we made for our wedding – 5 stars! Their online system was so detailed and allowed us to choose our music and structure the whole day – from the Grand March, to the First Dances, to the genres, etc. We worked with DJ Tom and he was amazing! He did a great job communicating throughout the night and the dance floor was ALWAYS full! So fun 🙂 Thank you!

Becca and Brandon 9/14/18 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

Instant Request was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! Their online system was so detailed and allowed us to choose our music and structure the whole day – from the Grand March, to the First Dances, to the genres, etc. It was a little difficult getting in touch with them prior to our wedding date, but we eventually talked over the phone. Overall, it was so much fun and the dance floor was full the whole night!

Megan and Perry 9/8/18 – Edinburgh USA Golf Club

Kailen Nelson was a great DJ! All of the ceremony cues went off with out a hitch. He kept everyone on the dance floor and knew how to read the mood of the crowd. Played songs that everyone wanted to dance to

Stephani and Kale 9/8/18 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Jimmy Bogen)

Instant Request in general is a joy to work with. Every one we spoke with was extremely responsive, polite and professional. We special requested [black tie] DJ Jimmy B because we saw him at a friend’s wedding – and we’re so glad we did! He clearly knows his stuff and was very supportive of our vision for the night (no organized dances, read the crowd, keep the floor hoppin’). We got MANY compliments from guests who spent the night on the dance floor and even the bartenders who said he was one of the best they had seen. Thank you Instant Request and DJ Jimmy for the unforgettable memories of our special day

Alyssa and Dustin 9/8/18 – Lowertown Event Center (Tom Coughlin)

Our DJ Tom was the best!!! He was exactly what we wanted in a DJ – charismatic, fun, and kept the dance floor going all night! He was great with requests and so kind and funny with our guests. He did a great job blending our music for the ceremony. Finding the right DJ was probably our biggest worry during wedding planning, but as soon as we got our call from Tom 2 weeks before the wedding, we knew we were in good hands!

Alanna and Matt 9/8/18 – Southview Country Club (Ryan Weber)

We had Ryan Weber as our DJ at our wedding reception on September 8, 2018. He was absolutely fantastic! He really took all of our ideas and requests and put his own spin on them. We loved how he kept in touch with us throughout the night to keep the party on track, and there was never a moment where there weren’t people on the dance floor. He did a great job of incorporating all the elements you need into a dance, interspersing slow songs into the fast sets at just the right time. I loved working with the online planner that instant request uses before the big day, it really helped to get ideas going and to organize all of the pieces of our reception. We would highly recommend this service to anyone else in the Twin Cities area!

Danielle and Andrew 9/7/18 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Brandon Holland)

Thank you so much for being part of our special day! You are wonderful and everyone danced the night away. Which is what we were hoping for. You helped make this night one we will never forget

Emma and Mark 9/7/18 – Gale Woods Farm (Alex Knight)

Best Dj ever! Played great music and kept the party going all night long!

Brittany and Ben 9/7/18 – Minnesota Boat Club (Jimmy Bogen)

Ben and I wanted to reach out and let you know how much we LOVED Jimmy! He took the time to call us before our wedding to get to know us and our vibe. He was very easy going and knew how to feel the room to know which songs to place next. He did an absolutely amazing job keeping the dance floor going throughout the entire night and really played all of our must plays. We truly believe a DJ really sets the tone for the wedding and we believe we had the absolute best. Our wedding was so fun and all the guests have complimented us on our DJ and how great he was. So thank you so much Jimmy! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the success it was without you

Taylor and Josh 9/2/18 – Minneapolis Event Center (Alex Knight)

We seriously cannot thank you enough for making our wedding so special. From the first phone call we knew we were in good hands! You are amazing at your craft – people are still talking about how great the reception was! Thanks for the fire 🙂

Cassandra and Joseph 9/1/18 – Grand Banquet Hall in Stillwater (Obi Okeke)

Instant Request was GREAT to work with! They were easy to book with! Our DJ Obi was amazing! I was a little bit of a slacker on getting ahold of him and he was on top of getting ahold of me to make sure everything was perfect. VERY professional, dressed to a T, and a blast! He was very interactive with the dancing and had great energy! I highly recommend OBI!!!

Kate and Erik 9/1/18 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (Justin Roff)

We had Justin for our DJ, and he was absolutely amazing. After talking on the phone, he knew exactly what we wanted and he exceeded our expectations! There were a few areas where we weren’t sure what we wanted for music, and his suggestions were dead on and fit the flow of the whole day. I would absolutely recommend this company, and especially Justin R! He made the day stress free in the music department! Thank you again Justin! 🙂

Molly and Clay 9/1/18 – Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony is the man. Bottom line. He put an incredible touch on an epic wedding that will forever be remembered. Don’t waste your time looking elsewhere, book these guys before you miss your chance.

Jan and Charles 9/1/18 – Lost Spur Golf Course in Eagan (Kailen Nelson)

We had Instant Request at our wedding reception. Our DJ, Kailen N. did a great job. We used the online planner to give him a feel for what kind of music we liked. Kailen very successfully riffed off of that and read the crowd well. We had people on the dance floor all night. People left the party with big smiles and the last shuttle to the hotel from the reception was a raucous, rolling party. We got all kinds of compliments on what great party we’d thrown. Between their planning tool and Kailen’s execution, all we had to do was provide some folks looking for a good time.

Katie and Josh 8/25/19 – Legacy Hill Farm (Daniel Jones)

Really easy to work with! Always responded to our questions, let us know what they needed from us. Took the time to learn about our guests and what music would get them dancing. So great!

Kaila and Mark 8/31/19 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Chris Butts)

Chris was awesome! Super thorough. He showed up early just in case see we needed him and we didn’t even ask him to! I would highly recommend them.

Hannah and Anil 8/25/18 – McNamara Alumni Center (Randy Grubba)

Our DJ was amazing! Got there early set up everything transitioned everything well. Everything went exactly as we had hoped. Spoke with him on the phone to iron out the details ahead of time, and then day of checked with us and kept us in the loop as far as timing and moving from one portion of the night to the other. Was never pushy. In addition to that they were able to slow a song down for us that we wanted to use for our first dance. He and his apprentice(?) were totally into the music as well and were having a good time. Again, I would HIGHLY recommend instant request again.

Monica and Douglas 8/25/18 – Cottage Winery and Vineyard (Obi Okeke)

Obi was an awesome DJ through the ceremony and dance for our wedding. He was understanding when we told him how we wanted our entrances, and when one of our couples had to switch due to a tired child, he introduced the person who we had to switch at the last moment. Obi also kept the energy high even when there the only people on the dance floor was the wedding party. He was interactive throughout the night and suggested events that we hadn’t thought about. He was more than willing to play songs that were not on his list to keep the energy high and everyone dancing. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to help us through the most important day of our lives. Much love distant cousin!

Caroline and Alex 8/25/18 – Lumber Exchange Event Center (David James)

David James with Instant Request was awesome! He had the most perfect laid-back demeanor for our group. We didn’t quite know what our group would be like on the dance floor, so I was nervous NO ONE was going to dance. David did a great job reading our crowd and getting everyone on the dance floor without being over the top. We had a blast and I would totally recommend David & Instant Request to any bride/groom looking for a good time!

Sarah and Jeremy 8/25/18 – Crowne Plaza Bloomington (Jimmy Bogen)

We did the Black Tie package, where you get to choose your DJ and meet in person to discuss with that DJ what you are looking for on your wedding day. We chose Jimmie B. He was fun and amazing and had as much fun as we did!

Lindsay and Will 8/25/18 – Loring Social (Justin Roff)

We recently had our wedding and had Justin R as our DJ. He was FANTASTIC. Our goal was to ensure people didn’t leave the dance floor and he achieved that while also mixing in songs on our list. We have been told by many it was the best wedding they have ever been to and I like to think a part of that is due to the music! He also did a great job at participating the amount we wanted, not on the mic all night, but enough that guests knew what was happening. So great, glad we used Instant Request and Justin!

 

Christy and Doug 8/24/18 – St. Paul College Club (David James)

Instant Request provided an excellent experience for our wedding. After signing up and filling out a full survey of the type of experience we were looking for we had a consultation a few weeks before the date, our DJ was very professional and knowledgeable able to help set up our ceremony and music. On the day of he was able to set up appropriately while we were determining if we would have the ceremony inside or out due to rain. The ceremony went without issue such that we could just focus on what we needed to get done. For our dance he played the crowd and kept the night going strong the entire time. When needed he would check in with us to coordinate timing of announcements, events, and songs making the night go very smoothly. We couldn’t be happier and would gladly recommend Instant Request to anyone in need of a DJ.

Cindy and Andy 8/24/18 – FIVE Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy B was awesome! We met him at FIVE Event Center during an open house, and we knew we wanted him as our DJ right away. He was great to work with and made sure to stick to my wife’s playlist. He was great reading the floor and playing songs to keep the dancing going. We received a lot of compliments. A few of the vendors we worked with asked who our DJ was going to be, and when we said Jimmy B, they immediately lit up and said how much they love working with him. So definitely a great person and absolutely worth the price.

Lauren and Brian 8/24/18 – Wellstead of Rogers (Anthony DuBose)

First and foremost, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent, time and energy with us to make our wedding day so special! By far you are the best wedding DJ we have ever encountered. Our friends and family raved about you. We are so thrilled that you kept the dance floor full all night. We are so impressed by your music selections and ability to read a crowd. Because of your skill, our night was truly one to remember and the party we were hoping for! Thank you again for all you did to help celebrate our marriage. We are blessed to have had you as our DJ. It was wonderful to get to know you! You are a joy to work with and we wish you the best with your wedding!

Jennifer and Adam 8/18/18 – Lafayette Club (Justin Roff)

We had DJ Justin Roff and he was great!! Everyone kept complementing me on the dance music and he also had fun game ideas throughout the night. Would definitely recommend Instant Request for the online planner and Justin Roff for your event!

Elizabeth and David 8/18/18 – Bunker Hills Golf Club (Daniel Jones)

Daniel with Instant Request was an amazing DJ! He was completely attentive and “in tune” to the style of music we wanted during the hosted hour, reception and dancing. He accommodated all of our “must play” songs, and kept our guests on the dance floor with his music mix. The online music planner program was easy to use and helped us plan all the music we needed for the ceremony, hosted hour, dinner and dance party! Their database has thousands of songs to choose from. And when we requested a couple of specialty songs that weren’t on the website, Daniel found them online and added them to our playlist! I HIGHLY recommend Instant Request and Daniel!

Lindsey and Andrew 8/18/18 – 3 Ten Event Venue (Zachary Bayerl)

I would highly recommend Instant Request to any bride and groom looking for a DJ! Right off the bat, Matt was very easy to communicate with and he responded to emails quickly. My husband and I ended up choosing the Black Tie Certified option and after reading through reviews we chose Zach B as our DJ. We are very happy with that decision! Zach was full of energy and made our reception a blast. We had a list of songs he could play but we mostly gave him the reins to just read the crowd. He did a great job at that and had people out on the dance floor the entire night (myself included.) Bottom line: hire Instant Request (and Zach B) for your DJ service, you will not be disappointed!

Tara and Dustin 8/18/18 – Private Residence (Brandon Holland)

We used Instant Request for our ceremony and reception and we HIGHLY recommend them! Their online event planner made planning the reception and ceremony songs a breeze. We met with our dj Brandon about a week before our wedding and went over every detail! The day of the wedding he was early and had everything set up and ready to go. He even played some songs for the wedding party while we took pictures before the wedding. The ceremony went flawlessly because of him! During the reception he kept everything flowing smoothly and made it fun! Once the dance started he kept everyone out on the dance floor playing a mix of songs for all different age groups. We had so much fun with him at our reception! Anyone looking for a fun and outgoing dj should definitely book with Brandon at Instant Request!!!

Skye and Peter 8/18/18 – Horse and Hunt Club (Bret Christiansen)

Thank you so much for DJing our event and keeping the dance floor full all night. We had many compliments on the music! Thank you for being so flexible and willing to help us have the perfect music!

Catherine and Andrew 8/18/18 – Interlachen Country Club (Nate Anderson)

I specifically had Nate from Instant Request as my DJ since we had had a wonderful experience with him for my sister’s wedding. Having him for ours was the best decision! Nate has the ability to get everyone out on the dance floor, catering to every age that is out there, but doing it in a way that blends and is masterfully done. Nate is so friendly and takes care of you as the bride and groom, listening to what you want and making sure you have an amazing evening. My father isn’t one who likes being in the spotlight, and I specifically loved how Nate took care of him, giving my dad directions for his speech and when I had my father/daughter dance, my dad could look at Nate with a simple nod to let him know we were done, and Nate transitioned out the music so we weren’t dancing for forever. It was wonderful and I am so glad we went with Instant Request!

Tina and Andrew 8/18/18 – Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center (Andy McClure)

Andy from Instant Request was super personable and made working with him super easy. Worked with the dinner delays, and handled everything super well. Overall would highly recommend using Instant Request for your wedding!

Allison and Andrew 8/18/18 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (David Andrews)

David A. was the DJ Instant Request assigned to us. He did a fantastic job from pre-ceremony through the end of the reception. We filled out the online event planner and David executed it flawlessly. His music choices during the reception were great and kept people dancing the whole night.

Samantha and Adam 8/17/18 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Ben Nordquist)

I recently got married and had Ben Nordquist for my DJ. I cannot express how happy we were to have Ben as our DJ for our wedding, he not only is a talented DJ and played amazing music the entire night, but he also took on an active role and helped coordinate the ceremony and reception with our Pastor, photographer and Wedding venue coordinator, making our day run so smoothly. Ben was the DJ at my sisters wedding and this is why we requested him again for our wedding since he did an amazing job at her wedding. We will be recommending Instant Request and Ben to anyone and everyone who needs a DJ for weddings, parties etc.

Kriti and Matt 8/17/18 – Lumber Exchange Event Center (Justin Roff)

We had Justin for our DJ and he was AMAZING! WE had a multicultural wedding with both American and Indian music and I was extremely nervous if people were going to be dancing all night. Our dance floor was so full all night and people didn’t want the music to stop. Justin followed our event planner and made sure that he had our permission before playing any genre that was on our do not play list. Our guests were raving about how great the blend of music was and everyone had a blast. Justin did a great job judging the crowd and music and making sure that everyone was enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Justin Roth as a DJ.

Kimmy and Jimmy 8/11/18 – Lowell Inn (Eric Michael)

I have been meaning to send this email for a while, I apologize it is coming in so late. We got married on August 11th, 2018. Unforeseen circumstances arose on August 10th, the day before, and my father passed away suddenly due to a heart attack. I had emailed, called or texted (I can’t remember which) our DJ Eric on Friday night explaining the circumstances. I was a mess, he was probably confused, but he responded and let me know he will do whatever we would like. That Friday night, we were not sure what to do. We weren’t sure how to move forward with the wedding, wondering if we even should. It was not an easy decision, as you can imagine, but we decided it would have been what my dad wanted. My husband worked with Eric the morning of the wedding, explaining all the changes that we decided to make in order to make the ceremony and the reception shorter. As we went throughout the night, we started adding things back to our list as the moments felt right. I can’t explain to you how grateful that we are for Eric that night. He most likely endured the saddest wedding of his life, but he stayed with us, went with the flow, and helped us along the way. Many of my guests commented on how easy going he was and how he made the night the best under the circumstances we were facing. That night was not easy for anyone, but Eric didn’t know anyone there and I am sure he could see and feel all the raw emotions. I wanted to send this note to let your company know what an outstanding job he did for us on that day. It could not have been easy for him. I don’t even know if I said thank you to him that night, which is another reason for my email. It was a beautiful and awful day all mixed together. On behalf of myself, my husband, and our entire army of friends and family, I want to again thank Eric and your company for having the empathy and compassion for us on our unusual wedding day. We needed a lot of laughs and smiles that day, and Nick was a key factor in helping us do so.

Jayme and Joe 8/11/18 – Next Chapter Winery (Rick Ausland)

Rick did an awesome job at our wedding and went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ at our reception! He had our guests on the dance floor throughout the whole night and played a variety of songs that fit our older and younger crowd. We received so many compliments from our guests on him and highly recommend him to any bride/groom. Thank you Rick and Instant Request for providing us with a great time that we’ll never forget!

Madeline and Billy 8/11/18 – Wayzata Country Club (Andy McClure)

We found Andy at my Uncle’s wedding and loved how he was able to get all ages out on the dance floor! From college kids to grandparents, everyone was having a blast! He was also wonderful about coordinating with our venue regarding speeches, the grand march, first dances, etc.

Brittany and Jason 8/11/18 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Alex Knight)

Alex was a killer DJ and took the time to understand the type of music we wanted and event and night we were looking for. He fit what we wanted and our crowd perfectly and the dance floor was constantly packed and with our age groups he was able to get everyone having a killer night. Can’t recommend Instant DJ and Alex enough.

Laura and Brian 8/11/18 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (Ryan Weber)

Working with Instant Request was great. Although our originally assigned DJ was cancelled without notice a few weeks before our wedding, they provided us with a Black Tie level DJ named Ryan W instead. We only had a 30 minute phone consultation the Wednesday before our Saturday wedding so I was a little nervous that he would know what we were looking for. However, we were so impressed the day-of and he understood our music style and preferences even with so little time to prepare! Our first dance/father and bride/mother and groom dances were at 7:30pm and our guests stayed til midnight (and would’ve stayed later if they could!); he played over 4 hours of non-stop music and kept everyone dancing all night! Thanks Ryan for being so helpful, fun, and making everyone’s feet sore from dancing the next day!!

 

Katie and Chase 8/11/18 – Medina Golf and Country Club (Angus Stoudt)

We had a wonderful experience with instant request. Their communication was fabulous and their pricing options were great. We were assigned DJ Angus Stoudt and he was amazing! We received at on of compliments on him, he kept our dance floor packed. A few days before our wedding we found out we needed to add on ceremony sound for our wedding and Mitch was so kind and helpful. He made the process non stressful and it was taken care of same day.

Laurel and Ryan 8/10/18 – Minneapolis Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Black-tie DJ Jimmy Bogen was the best DJ ever and we’re so thankful that we booked him through Instant Request! We booked him for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He gave helpful advice and guidance at our planning meeting, and the online planner is a great resource. Day-of he was on-time, friendly, professional, full of energy, and made our reception a blast. We selected the songs/genres for certain aspects of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, but ultimately gave him freedom to play songs based on the crowd and his knowledge/experience. The dance floor was never empty and we received so many compliments from guests! We highly recommend Jimmy

Taysha and Matt 8/10/18 – JX Event Center (Dave Kellner)

Instant Request DJ was a great company to work with! They were very easy going and their website format makes it easy to create the exact wedding day that you are looking for. Everyone was on the dance floor all night long!

Morgan and Cole 8/10/18 – Villa Bellezza (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie with Instant Request was absolutely AMAZING. We were SO glad we went with Instant Request and Charlie was a perfect fit for us! We were hoping to have a more organized music list prepared for him, but this task ended up getting pushed off to the side during the chaos of wedding planning, and he honestly did 1000x better than anything we could’ve come up with anyway. We will be recommending him and Instant Request to our family and friends for sure!

 

Meredith and Cole 8/5/18 – Semple Mansion (Jimmy Bogen)

Wow! I would recommend instant request DJ’s to anyone planning a wedding. Jimmy did such a fabulous job with ours. He took the time to customize our playlist to fit our style and kept the dance floor full all night long! I am so thankful we found them. They are true professionals. I would also recommend adding the light show services they offer. They transformed our venue and set a perfect atmosphere for dancing. Instant request DJ is the best! Thank you guys for everything.

Christie and Joseph 8/5/18 – Seven Vines Vineyard (David James)

David James Allison from Instant Request was outstanding! He met with us a couple weeks prior to the event to go over our preferences, must plays, and vision for our wedding. He read the crowd and kept our small little wedding dancing the entire night. We wanted a flexible timeline for the evening and he worked with us to create a organic flowing event! Instant request has a platform that makes planning the dance so easy. I would highly recommend instant request.

Kimberly and David 8/4/18 – Lowertown Event Center (Rick Ausland)

We want to thank you for the tremendous job you did at our wedding. You weren’t assigned to our wedding until a few days prior which initially made us nervous, but you were so persaonable, organized and sincerely excited to celebrate our day with us which instantly calmed all of our nerves! Everything from our ceremony to the very end of our reception was beyond our expectations! Everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly and we hardly left the dance floor (which is very rare for my husband). So many guests commented on how talented you are, and my husband’s uncle was even taking notes for his occasional DJ gigs! Our wedding was honestly the best party of our lives and so many memories were made on the dance floor! Honestly, we can’t thank you enough and are so glad things didn’t work out with the first DJ assigned to us, because we were lucky and honored to have you there! We hope you received your tip it was well deserved!

Kim and Tom 8/4/18 – Medina Golf and Country Club (Trent Skalicky)

We were super thrilled with our DJ, Trent! We appreciated how he used songs from our online planner and kept the dance fun! He made announcements when needed (start of dinner, speeches, etc.) but otherwise he kept the tunes going throughout our cocktail hour, dinner, and dance. He was very organized and professional. We also loved Instant Request DJ Entertainment’s online planner! The planner made it super easy to share all of the necessary details with our DJ, and then we were able to have a phone conversation with Trent to go over the couple of questions we had. Everything went so smoothly at our reception! We highly recommend Instant Request DJ Entertainment and Trent!

Karrissa and Travis 8/4/18 – Watson Hunting Campe (Alex Knight)

Thank you so much for coming all the way out to Hicksville to help us celebrate. We have gotten tons of compliments about you. The dance floor was hopping all night long. Too bad it was too hot to wear your flannel! Hope you enjoyed the cucumbers! I will recommend you!

Lindsey and Brennan 8/4/18 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club

DJ David James was absolutely awesome! He did both out ceremony and reception and was very professional, organized, and kept the crowd pumped up without being over the top. Couldn’t have askef for a better experience, highly recommend!

Carolynn Black and Adam Krings 8/4/18 – Aria (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was our DJ and he seriously rocked the dance floor all night long! He made sure we had the right mix of songs and music to keep people out of their seats and dancing! The sound quality was amazing and we had a great time! I was on the dance floor for hours!!

Kim and Tom 8/4/18 – Medina Golf and Country Club (Trent Skalicky)

Thank you so much for being such a great DJ for our wedding reception! You kept the dance floor going, and we appreciate your time and energy! Thanks again!

Cody and Nick 8/4/18 – Minneapolis Golf Club (Josh Perkins)

WOW, we cannot believe how great our DJ was! I went with Instant Request because my sister had used them for her wedding and had a great experience. We loved having the online event planner, where we could make our personal playlist and give information to the DJ about what songs not to play, whether we were doing a bouquet toss, how much DJ involvement we wanted, etc. It was great that we were able to customize the songs we want played and to give the DJ an idea of the vibe we were going for. Josh was our DJ and he was simply incredible. Our dance floor was packed all night and we had so many guests comment that this was the most fun they had had at a wedding. I would recommend Instant Request to everyone!

Sarah and Jake 8/4/18 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (Allison Pasiuk)

We absolutely loved working with Allie our DJ from Instant Request! I’m a huge music junkie myself, so I was really nervous about finding a good DJ for our wedding. Allie completely exceeded our expectations! It was so awesome to be matched up with her, because we had very similar taste in music. Everyone RAVED about the music at our wedding and said they danced more than any other wedding they’ve ever been to. She kept the day moving seamlessly and passed things by us when necessary so we could make a final call, which I really appreciated. She also left us with a super sweet card at the end of the wedding, which was so thoughtful! In addition, I absolutely loved the online planner, it made it super easy to create a playlist and add all my notes regarding the day! I would HIGHLY recommend!

Kristina and Tony 8/3/18 – Hyland Park Chalet (Nico Moore)

DJ Nico was the DJ at my sister’s wedding in June, and then we got him again for our wedding in August! He is the best!! We had a bunch of song requests that weren’t in the “library” of songs and he found them no problem. The transition between songs during our ceremony was so beautiful! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night and was so good at reading the crowd. He was patient with us when we didn’t have some of our reception details figured out and took control of certain situations so things ran smoothly (like releasing tables for the buffet line). I would HIGHLY recommend Instant Request, and especially DJ Nico!

Lindsey and Michael 7/28/18 – Solar Arts Builing (Obi Okeke)

Obi from Instant Request DJ was awesome! We presented him with a really long “do not play” list, and his response was, “I love the challenge!” And he certainly exceeded our expectations. We had a really long dance portion of the reception, and the floor was packed the entire time. He did a great job playing what my wife and I wanted, acknowledging some good requests from our guests, and incorporating some of his own hits. I’d highly recommend DJ Obi!!

Maddie and Ross 7/28/18 – Aria (Anthony DuBose)

Instant Request was fantastic! We chose Anthony as our DJ and he was so great to work with. He listened to our requests but also was really good at reading the crowd and playing music outside of our initial playlist. So many of our guests came up to us to tell us how good the music was. I would highly recommend!

 

Emily and Tyler 7/28/18 – Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront (Nico Moore)

Our DJ for our wedding was Nico with Instant Request. Nico did an amazing job balancing our music requests as a couple, along with mixing in requests from our guests. He kept everyone on the dance floor throughout the whole night. He was very friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time. We appreciated his willingness to get to know our guests’ music styles, while checking in with us throughout the night to make sure we were hearing what we wanted! Instant request was a great DJ company to work with and made our wedding reception extra special!

Annie and Lucas 7/28/18 – Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center (Kailen Nelson)

I would highly recommend Instant DJ Request for anyone looking for a professional and fun DJ for their wedding. The online profile they create for you is very detailed and makes the wedding planning process that much easier on you. I would like to give a huge thank you to Kailen Nelson! He did such a wonderful job for our wedding on 7/28/18. Throughout all of our wedding planning madness, we mistakenly forgot to fill out the playlist for the DJ. He basically came into our wedding blind and he just nailed it! We had a live band as well and he seamlessly took that in stride and made the whole night go so smooth. We can’t praise him enough for how well he did! Thank you Kailen! You kept everyone out on the dance floor all night and we were very impressed with your work, especially since we didn’t give you anything to prepare from.

Rachel and Dalton 7/28/18 – Lowertown Event Center (David James)

Music was a big deal to my husband and I. It sets the mood for EVERYTHING. From ceremony to dinner, the serious dances and the party time DJ David James had us covered! He was able to keep us updated on his plans through the night and read the crowd. He kept things going on a timely matter and was so great to work with!

Meaghan and Tyler 7/27/18 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (Jimmy Bogen)

Excellent!! Highly recommend! Easy to work with, gets the party started and keeps it going!

Emily and Nicholas 7/27/18 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Charlie DuBois)

I am so happy we went through Instant DJ Request for our DJ! They had an online planner where you picked out the songs for the day. That tool was very helpful and reassuring- knowing that the DJ will be using the songs you selected throughout the night. Dj Charlie was wonderful! I spoke with him over the phone twice and he was very reliable via email/text if I had any random questions throughout wedding planning. When it came to the big day, he was there on time and set up everything without bothering the bridal party. He played the music just as I had imagined for the ceremony! The dinner went smoothly and he came up to my newly husband and I and double checked on our requests during dinner. He was cheerful, polite and professional. He was also flexible when I decided last minute to do a bouquet toss. Overall, DJ Charlie and Instant DJ Request are a MUST when it comes to weddings!

Danielle and Alex 7/27/18 – Lumber Exchange Event Center (Alex Knight)

DJ Alex Knight was FANTASTIC! First of all – when he gave us the option of meeting either at a coffee shop or a brewery we knew we’d be friends. We hit it off right away, and talked through our online planner which was really nice to do leading up to the wedding day. We felt like Instant Request did a really great job of pairing us with a DJ who could read our vision, and jive to our taste, while also reading the crowd and what would help to get them out on the dance floor. We were bustin’ moves all night long, and Alex was great about encouraging us to come out and join everyone after we took little breaks to refill our cocktails or visit with guests we hadn’t yet had the opportunity to chat with (“could we get the bride and the groom out here for this one?!” etc.). We had a great experience, and would definitely recommend Instant Request DJ (especially DJ Alex Knight) to family, friends, and couples looking for a great reception singing and dancing with their loved ones.

Heidi and Ryan 7/21/18 – Little Log House Village Hall (Trent Skalicky)

We really enjoyed working with Instant Request for our wedding!! We got assigned to Trent for our DJ and he was very nice and easy to work with!! He played all the songs that my guests requested and did a great job!

Alicia and Joshua 7/14/18 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Alex Knight)

I used Instant Request at my wedding and I couldn’t have been happier! I used the black tie DJ service and picked Alex. He was a phenomenal DJ. He was able to read the crowd perfectly. The dance floor was full all night long. Alex was very professional and he helped us along the way as well. We felt very confident going in and Alex did not disappoint! I would highly recommend Alex to anyone who enjoys a good dance!

Jessi and Boen 7/14/18 – Seven Vines Vineyard (Anthony DuBose)

Instant Request is so easy to work with and we were blessed with the best DJ out there, Anthony! Anthony kept the party going all night. We were able to meet with him before and and he was so kind and easy going. There is no stress when working with a professional like Anthony! If you want a fun wedding book Anthony with Instant Request (black tie)!

Abigail and Dustin 7/14/18 – 413 on Wacouta Event Center (David James)

Instant Request was great! Our wedding required a sound system, DJ, and microphone for the ceremony and reception, as well as sound system accommodations for a band to play during cocktail hour. Instant Request, and our DJ David J., were helpfully flexible during the planning process and willing to work with all our requests and desires on the day of the wedding itself. The online planner was useful and David was a perfect blend of professional, kind, and unobtrusive. It’s exactly what we were looking for, and David kept the dance floor going all night!

Carissa and Preston 7/14/18 – Minneapolis Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony with Instant Request was INCREDIBLE! From the second we met Anthony; we knew he’d be the perfect DJ for our wedding. He was very personal and professional. We had a few songs we wanted to be played, but our biggest request was for everyone to be on the dance floor. He definitely succeeded! Our dance floor was packed all night long. All of our guests, of all ages, were dancing the night away. He had excellent remixes, sprinkled in all the right songs in the right places. By far the best DJ I’ve heard at any wedding. All of our guests are still raving about the music. If you’re looking for a DJ, Anthony is your guy!

Linnea and Brian 7/7/18 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

Thank you so much for being our DJ. We had a fabulous wedding and thank you for your part in it.

Mikayla and Alan 7/7/18 – Dakota County Fairgrounds (Charlie DuBois)

We loved working with Instant Request! Charlie was our “Black Tie” DJ and was worth every penny! He was so fun, outgoing and read the crowd perfectly! He matched what music we wanted to hear and mixed in a little bit of all other genres too. We couldn’t have been happier! Thank you!!!

Ashley and Steffan 7/7/18 – Solar Arts Building (Alex Knight)

Alex Knight was our DJ and he was amazing!!! Alex was professional, easy to work with and so fun! Everyone at our wedding loved the music and Alex made the entire day perfect! We would highly recommend Alex and Instant Request!

Dana and Shane 7/6/18 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Allison Pasiuk)

Ally at Instant Request made our wedding amazing! She was attentive and we were able to have a really great rapport with her. We had a special request with recording our ceremony and she was able to work with our videographer to get the sound directly into our video. Also, during the night we had a few timeline issues (due to us not managing our time well) and Ally was able to give us really good suggestions about how to fit all the dances we wanted to do in (or what to cut). I really felt like Ally was there for us and was ensuring we had a great night/wedding. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else be our DJ! She was the best and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for a fun and flexible time!

Melissa and Michael 7/6/18 – Villa Bellezza (Justin Roff)

Our DJ Justin was awesome. We had so many compliments that he played great music all night long. He really took the time to review our music tastes and applied it perfectly to keep the dance floor packed throughout the night.

Margaret and Justin 7/6/18 – Lafayette Club (Jimmy Bogen)

We loved DJ Jimmy and highly recommend him to be your DJ! Following our meeting with him, we knew we were going to love him. From his personality to his ability to play the right music to keep the most people on the dance floor, he nailed it! I had the time of my life and I know others felt the same way! Book DJ Jimmy!!

Lindsay and Vince 7/6/18 – Machine Shop (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony could not have done a better job as our wedding DJ and if I could give him 10 stars I would. I received more compliments on the music than on anything else at the wedding, and people of all ages told me they’d love to have him work at their events in the future. Per my request, he played a very eclectic and wide range of music, and he blended everything together perfectly. Thank you to Anthony for making our big day an awesome party!

Libby and Travis 6/30/18 – Machine Shop (Charlie DuBois)

We loved working with Instant Request for our wedding in June 2018. We did upgrade to black tie service at the recommendation of our coordinator, and it was the best decision. We were so lucky to get DJ Charlie for our wedding! He was super friendly and easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and we really appreciated being able to meet with him ahead of time to talk through everything. On the day of, he was perfect! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. He did a great job reading the crowd, playing songs we wanted to hear, and managing requests from our guests. He even came out to dance with us at one point! I would highly recommend working with Instant Request, and DJ Charlie! Thank you for helping us have the most fun at our wedding!

 

Bethany and Matt 6/30/19 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (David James)

Our DJ was amazing!! Our only request was that he get people dancing and he did just that. We had multiple groups of people dancing next to the dance floor because it was full all night long. Highly recommend this service!

Kimberly and Andrew 6/30/18 – Paikka (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony was EXCELLENT. Very helpful, patient and supportive in creating our playlist. Very professional and responsive during the ceremony. MANY of compliments on the music from our guest. Could not have asked for better entertainment. I would highly recommend this DJ.

 

Heidi and Chris 6/30/18 – Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center (Rick Ausland)

We had Rick as our Black Tie DJ through Instant Request. This man was a godsend. All of our guests continually commented on how he was one of the best DJs they had ever seen. He has a policy that “weddings should be about playing songs that invoke happy memories in the guests, like your jam from college, or that concert you went to together, not the latest and greatest hit no one has heard yet”. Even when a song flopped, he quickly moved it into the next song, pushing the party forward. Songs were blended into each other in fun combinations, and everyone had a blast. He even was great about checking in with us when we were away from the dance floor to make sure everything was perfect. He also provided the music for our ceremony, without having a rehearsal. Everything was perfect after one phone call, including adding songs to their library specifically for us. When we had a mishap during the ceremony, he saved the day by discretely raising the music and making it look intentional. I would 1000% recommend him and Instant Request for any event.

Anne and Michael 6/30/18 – White Bear Yacht Club (Justin Roff)

Great experience from start to finish. We had Justin as our DJ and he made the dance floor the hottest prime real estate of the night. He completely vibe’d off of the crowd and had everyone feeling great on the dance floor. The interactive process of their DJ portal was also a smooth, easy, and fun experience. I would recommend Instant Request to anyone hosting a wedding or party.

Heidi and Chris 6/30/18 – Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center (Rick Ausland)

Christina and Kavi 6/30/18 – Aria (Tyler Hylland)

Instant Request and DJ Tyler were unbelievable. The first DJ we selected had to back out for some reason, but the guys at Instant Request made it right. They immediately offered concessions, listened to our wants and needs (we were having a multi-cultural wedding so our wants and needs were not easy) and found the p)erfect replacement DJ for us. DJ Tyler was so incredible the whole night, often checking in on us, dealing with guest requests (but making sure no songs from our do not play list were played), and best of all, really taking the time to pronounce the groom’s family’s names correctly (Indian names are not easy…). Thank you Instant Request for making our wedding an absolutley epic event.

Dana and Sean 6/23/18 – Landmark Center (Andy McClure)

We really enjoyed working with Andy from Instant Request DJ! Instant Request did a great job interviewing us and matching our style to our DJ Andy! Andy did a fantastic job reading our crowd of guests and blending older classics with newer, more modern music. He came prepared with all the equipment we would need for the ceremony and reception and was super flexible and able to communicate even our unique guests. The process of picking music from Instant Request’s website was fun, easy,and pain free! We would definitely recommend Instant Request and Andy!

Hannah and Brady 6/23/18 – Loft at Studio J (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy Bogen with Instant Request DJ was the best DJ ever. He met with us a few weeks before hand to really understand what we wanted at our wedding and the vibe of our guests. He was every bride’s (and day-of coordinator’s) dream because he arrived early to our venue (the Loft at Studio J in Stillwater MN) to make sure he had plenty of time to setup. He was super engaging and lively during the cocktail hour, speeches and dinner. However, he was truly amazing once the dance floor opened up and he kept so many people on the dance floor all the way until the end! Seriously, two of our friends actually bowed down to him at the end of the night and said he was the best DJ ever. We continue to get compliments on how fun our night was because of all of the dancing. THANK YOU JIMMY! I would recommend him to anyone looking to throw a fun party!

Jennie and John 6/23/18 – Science Museum of MN (Manny Minter)

We had Manny as our DJ for our ceremony at Urban Growler Brewery and reception at the Science Museum of Minnesota. In our pre-wedding phone meeting, he did a great job of making us feel comfortable and confident that he knew what was going on with our schedule and understood the kind of music we wanted played for the dance. Despite his assistant being a little late to set up the ceremony (I didn’t really know this was happening, just heard about it after the fact), Manny was able to get us started on time, and things ran smoothly with the sound.
As far as the reception, Manny was AMAZING. He did a great job of making sure things were running the way we wanted – with clear communication with us before the wedding as well as during the evening on the big day. He followed our requests on the online planner, and kept the dance floor packed all night. We had an amazing party, and Manny was responsible for it! I have been a bridesmaid in 2 other weddings that have hired Instant Request with 2 other DJs, and they have always been great! We would highly recommend Manny and Instant Request in general.

Mackenzie and Kip 6/23/18 – Lost Spur Golf Course (Obi Okeke)

Obi did an amazing job! He was very receptive to all our requests and had the dance floor bumpin’ all night. Highly recommend for all your DJ needs!

Laura and Lance 6/23/18 – Inwood Oaks (Nate Anderson)

Nate (with Instant Request) was the best DJ we could have asked for! He had people on the floor all night and made sure to play each of our requests. We had so many compliments on the variety of music played, as well as the fun that he brought to the party! We are so grateful for his flexibility, ease, and the level of professionalism and fun he brought to our reception. Thank you so much Nate for making our reception the best night ever!!

Heidi and Ryan 6/23/18 – Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel (Tyler Hylland)

Tyler Hylland! He was absolutely phenomenal!! We couldn’t say anything better about him! Thank you Tyler for such an amazing night! You truly gave us the best party we could have ever asked for!

Brianna and Bryce 6/23/18 – Graduate Minneapolis (Tom Coughlin)

This company is absolutely Amazing!! We had Tom as our DJ and he was such a pleasure to work with! He played all the music we were hoping for and more. He kept people on the dance floor all night long. We received so many compliments on how fun our dance was! Tom wrote us a personalized note after the night was over and it was so fun to read it! Request Tom, he is one heck of a DJ!! So so happy we choose Instant Request DJ, they know how to have a party 🙂

Melissa and James 6/22/18 – Semple Mansion (Eric Malmberg)

Instant Request was great to work with! The online event planner tool was super helpful, and they were professional and easy to communicate with. Eric our DJ was awesome!! We had so much fun at our reception and highly recommend him as a DJ!

Ashley and Joe 6/22/18 – Legacy Hill Farm (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy B was amazing. We started with our one on one meeting where he walked us through the entire day and helped us pick out the songs for our ceremony and wedding. On the day of, he was perfect. Our day couldn’t have been any better and Jimmy was the best. We could not have asked for more!

Anna and Tony 6/22/18 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Rick Ausland)

Rick A. is an outstanding DJ! His attention to detail and concern throughout the process was beyond expectations. He ran sound for our ceremony as well as DJ’ing our reception and helped provide the wedding of our dreams. We’re very grateful to the role he played on an evening we’ll never forget. Thank you so much Rick and Instant Request!

Kayla and Halle 6/16/18 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (Natalie Jensen)

Would recommend instant request time and time again. The online music profile was so easy and helpful and allowed us to work on our playlist as we planned. We were so pleased with or DJ and she was amazing to work with. Fast response to questions, incredible DJs and ability to bring the fun to the party. Thank you!

Mollie and Michael 6/16/18 – Fair Hills Resort in Detroit Lakes (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony, at Instant Request is by far, the best DJ I have ever witnessed at a dance! I saw him at a wedding last year, (I wasn’t even engaged) and I knew I needed to remember him and this company. About a month later, we got engaged and booking Anthony was one of our first tasks completed! Our wedding had a large guest count, and Anthony was able to keep the dance floor full at all times. Every single song was a hit with the crowd and we are STILL getting compliments on how great our dance was. (Our wedding was about a month ago) Thank you, Instant Request, for running a company that is centered on what the guests will enjoy. We hope to attend a wedding that you DJ in the future!!

Bri and Clark 6/16/18 – Villa Bellezza (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi from Instant Request gets 5/5 stars from us! He was absolutely wonderful and put together a perfect playlist for us on our big day. He also put in lots of extra time to help our best man put together an awesome toast complete with personalized song for us. Bengi also got to the venue nice and early to set up the audio for our ceremony and was so sweet and talented. He balanced requests from our guests with the songs we put on our must play list and we couldn’t have imagined our dance without him!

Kristen and Sam 6/16/18 – Landmark Center (Ben Nordquist)

We had Ben as our DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing!! I couldn’t have been happier! He was friendly and warm and did an amazing job reading the crowd and playing songs to keep everyone dancing! My brother and sister-in-law also had Instant Request DJ for their wedding and they continue to impress! Hands down I would urge you to book through them (especially request Ben!!)

Rachel and Josh 6/16/18 – Minneapolis Event Center (Allie Pasiuk)

We had DJ Allie! She was incredible. My whole entire family and party couldn’t stop talking about her the following day. She had the dance floor completely full the whole entire night except for 10 minutes because they had to fix the dance floor from so many people dancing!!! We had a great wedding day and it couldn’t of been possible without Allie. Thank you so much! We will be requesting her anytime we are getting a DJ.

Kayla and Halle 6/16/18 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (Natalie Jensen)

Thank you so much for making the party come together at the wedding! You were so enjoyable to work with and we can’t wait to recoommend you to others! You did such a great job and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you!

Kristen and Sam 6/16/18 – Landmark Center (Ben Nordquist)

Ben Nordquist was our DJ at Sam and Kristen’s wedding on Saturday June 16th. HE WAS AMAZING! He did a great job of engaging our guests. He played the perfect music for our group and he was EXCEEDINGLY personal! I strongly recommend him! I was very pleased!

Brandie and Sam 6/16/18 – Silverwood Park Visitor Center (Eric Michael)

We would like to thank you so much for all you did to make our wedding day an overwhelming success. Our guests showered us with compliments about our DJ and music choices. We loved the way you were able to help structure our day, with announcements and music cues to help keep our wedding party and us on track with everything. We are so thankful to have had you at the helm!

Mary and John 6/15/18 – Theodore Wirth Chalet (Allison Pasiuk)

Wow – we keep hearing about how much people loved our DJ, Allie! She was terrific! I chatted with her a week before the wedding. She thoroughly went through everything for the day. I mentioned that I ideally wanted to make a playlist for the music during cocktail hour/dinner but wasn’t sure if I would have time. Allie instantly volunteered to make a personalized playlist! I sent her a list of some of our favorite artists and she threw together a wonderful mix of music. Allie kept people dancing all night long. She read the crowd and mixed in our choices from the online planner. She played the oldies earlier in the evening when the older guests were up and dancing. She mixed in the newer hits slowly to transition. It was perfect! Our coordinator even said Allie went above and beyond so I am sure there are things she did we don’t even know about! I would definitely recommend Instant Request – and Allie! – to any other brides/grooms!

Rosi and Nathan 6/15/18 – Marriott Minneapolis Northwest (Obi Okeke)

We had Obi O. as our DJ for our wedding a couple days ago, and seriously, we could not be happier with him! He played music that everyone danced to, and I mean everyone! People didn’t want to get off the dance floor because the music was so good! If you want professionalism with style, you should definitely hire Obi, or anyone from the Instant Request DJ Team – they will make your wedding even more fun!

Chrisssy and Danny 6/10/18 – Horse and Hunt Club (David James)

Very professional/classy and easy to work with… made my day stress free. I don’t have a single complaint

Anna and Scott 6/9/18 – Harriet Island Pavilion (Lisa Harrigan)

Lisa with Instant Request was AMAZING! The dance was such a blast. She catered to all ages of the wedding guests. I couldn’t have been happier. From the moment I booked Instant request they were quick to respond to emails and great to work with overall. Definitely recommend!

Kaylee and Tyler 6/9/18 – Pique Travel (Manny Minter)

Instant Request makes the DJ portion of your wedding easy and stress-free. They are easy to work with and responsive. Manny did a great job keeping everyone on the dance floor.

Brittany and Guy 6/9/18 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Justin Roff)

Thank you for the amazing work you did while dj-ing our wedding on the 9th! We asked for an amazing party and you, sir, definitely delivered! I so appreciated your attentiveness of both myself and Guy, as well as the rest of our guests. At one point in the evening, after you continuously played one amazing song after another, I made a lap around the dance floor shouting “This is amazing!! I love my life!!!!” So thank you for your contribution to making it a night to remember! I hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did! I would absolutely love to see the dance floor footage!!

Cady and Nik 6/9/18 – Johnson Hall in St. Peter (Tim Westrom)

We just want you to know that we were very pleased with DJ Tim W. at our wedding dance on June 9 at Johnson Hall in St. Peter. Tim was polite, professional, and he kept the crowd dancing. And that’s what we wanted. Thank you DJ Tim!

Ali and Spencer 6/8/18 – Creekside Farm Weddings and Events (Justin Roff)

Instant Request was fantastic for both our ceremony and reception music! We had Justin Roff as our DJ, and we loved having him as part of the day. He made fantastic music choices for dancing; it was amazing how in tune with our tastes he was. He was also extremely professional and personable, and was right on target for music during the ceremony, blending the songs that we chose and making sure that everything went off at just the right time. My husband and I also had such a blast using the online event planner, going through the huge database of songs and listening to a bunch of different snippets to put together some suggested song lists and must play lists. When we spoke to Justin a couple of weeks before the wedding, we knew it was going to be great-we have very eclectic musical taste, and Justin was really excited about the mismatched variety in our planner. I spoke to many different DJ companies on my search, and went with Instant Request due to the great reviews and the exceptional value compared with others in the market. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. My husband and I highly recommend Instant Request, and especially Justin Roff!

Jacquelyn and Wayne 6/8/18 – Wilds Golf Club (Charlie DuBois)

We worked with Charlie and he was FANTASTIC! He kept our dance floor full all night and we got a ton of compliments from family members and friends! He is on their black tie list but is so worth the extra money! If you’re looking to save a little bit of money, go to the Wedding Fair. They run promotions and you can get some really great deals.

Sammie and Cody 6/8/18 – Charthouse in Lakeville (Tyler Hylland)

We got married on 6/8/18 and had Tyler H. as our DJ. He was so great!!! He was so helpful with checking in with us and keeping the flow of the wedding going. He was altogether awesome!! Thanks again Tyler!

Molly and David 6/8/18 – Harriet Island Pavilion (Rick Ausland)

Amazing service and would recommend to everyone!

Allison and Justin 6/2/18 – Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center (Rick Ausland)

Wow what an amazing night! Thank you so much to our DJ, Rick, for keeping the crowd entertained the entire night! I mean it when I say the dance floor was never empty from the time dinner ended until midnight. It was perfect. Rick was so helpful and accommodated requested, checked with my husband and i throughout the night to make sure all our favorite songs were being played, and made brief announcements if we needed him to. If you’re looking for an expert in the business who knows how to read a crowd and make sure everyone is having a good time, book Instant Request!

Marie and Stephen 6/2/18 – Dellwood Barn (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie D was thee best! He was professional, fun and able to read the crowd at the drop of a hat. He was the DJ for my sister’s wedding about 1.5 years ago and I knew we had to have him for ours. He was worth every single penny. Very accommodating and energetic and listened to everything we wanted. The music and dance was so important to us and we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Charlie D and Instant Request! I would give you more stars if I could.

Kelsey and Jason 6/2/18 – Science Museum (Chris Butts)

Chris B. did an amazing job with our wedding! He was the DJ for both our ceremony and reception. He spoke to me in advance about my preferences and asked me many questions to be sure that things were perfect for my big day. He was also an excellent communicator on the day of the wedding. Everything went smoothly on our wedding day, and Chris was a big part of it. Many of my guests mentioned that they loved the music and dancing. I recommend Chris and this business!

Ashley and Thomas 6/2/18 – A’bulae (Justin Roff)

Instant Request was a huge hit! I had a friend who booked Instant Request at her wedding a few years ago and I knew I had to have them as well. We had one of the black tie DJs named Justin and we absolutely loved him. The music was fun and the dance floor was packed the whole night. I’ve been to weddings where the DJ was awful so having a really good DJ was one of my top priorities. He has done hundreds of weddings so I knew we were in good hands. Before I booked him we had a phone conversation where I could ask him about his experience, what he likes to do at weddings, etc and made me feel confident that he could execute our wedding. He made sure my husband and I were well taken care of and I could of not asked for a better service. If you are going to book a DJ, I highly recommend Justin and Instant Request. You will not be disappointed!

Alexa and Tony 6/2/18 – Plymouth Creek Center (Zachary Bayerl)

Dj Zachary B. was awesome, He kept the dance floor full all night!! He was professional, and very accommodating to any of our requests. Zachary kept the party going and was very interactive with the crowd. We had him do music at the ceremony and he kept everything moving seamlessly. We are so happy we went with Instant request and would definitely recommend using Zachary B.!!!

Sabrina and Chris 6/2/18 – Calhoun Beach Club (Obi Okeke)

We had the DJ Obi and couldn’t have a better experience! He’s great, fun, entertaining and handsome! I read many DJ profiles and gave Instant Request a list of 5. Obi was on the list and was assigned to our reception. We had one phone interview and he was mostly concerned with the playlist and the attendees. Our playlist had no corny songs, YMCA, Chicken Dance, etc. We wanted no requests from our guests. Obi said very little, performed professionally, and was a SMASH with the crowd. Nobody left the dance floor until I shut down the bar. Obi has the education, the personality and the “looks”, to make your party one to remember.

Eleanor and Aaron 5/26/18 – Paikka (Brandon Holland)

Brandon is a talented DJ and was great to work with! He is laid back, helpful, and kept the dance floor busy through the night!

Tracey and Shaun 5/26/18 – Muse Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

We went with a black tie package, and our DJ was Jimmy. Cannot recommend him enough, he was extremely knowledgeable and professional and there was not a single hitch through the entire night! A few guests requested a very explicit song later in the night and Jimmy made a point of getting our okay (even leaving the DJ booth and coming to speak with us personally) before playing it because he noticed family members were still present. Music is such a huge part of a wedding, and he nailed it! It was such a relief to not have to worry about any sound or music issues the whole night.

Samantha and Gage 5/26/18 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

Andrew was an amazing DJ! We didn’t have a huge list of must haves but he was able to understand our vision and pick songs that our crowd loved! He had everyone dancing, all ages. It was a great day made better with fabulous music.

Emily and Jacob 5/26/18 – Solar Arts Building (Zachary Bayerl)

We had DJ Zach for our wedding and he did a fantastic job! He read the crowd well and let the music do the talking. Would definitely recommend to anyone else looking for a fun wedding DJ.

Megan and Joey 5/19/18 – Mill City Museum (Anthony DuBose)

We worked with DJ Anthony for our wedding. He was AMAZING! He got the dance party started and kept it going the entire night! He was great at selecting songs and transitioning. He was also very professional when we had a small accident that got blood on the dance floor – he cleared the floor and ensured it was safe for guests to return. I would recommend choosing the VIP package so you can select Anthony and get to talk before hand – we were able to request a song that wasn’t available in the planner but was no problem for Anthony to add, and also get comfortable with personalities and cues. We had a great experience with Instant Request and could not recommend Anthony more!

Meredith and Dennis 5/19/18 – Lodge on the Lake (David James)

DJ David James was phenomenal! He dealt with the craziness of nothing going according to plan but he always stayed calm and completely let us decide what we wanted to happen throughout the whole night. He played a great mix of the songs we requested and other songs to have a giant dance party with a few slow songs mixed in the middle of the dance. He also did a great job setting a nice atmosphere during the cocktail hour and dinner. HIGHLY recommend him and if we have another big party we would love to have him again! Thank you!

Plymouth Congregational Church 5/19/18 – Plymouth Congregational Church (Ryan Weber)

The dance was a success! And that’s thanks to you for your excellent DJ skills. Everyone loved the song choices and the dance floor was occupied all night. We certainly gave our dancing shoes a workout!

Jessie and Tim 5/19/18 – Brooklyn Park Community Center (Dave Kellner)

Instant Request provided DJ and lighting services for our wedding. DJ Dave kept the dance floor rocking all night!

Courtney and John 5/19/18 – Cologne Community Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was fabulous! He did an excellent job providing entertainment for our wedding guests. Very professional staff and affordably priced.

Abby and Duke 5/19/18 – Pinstripes (Ryan LaRue)

Ryan did a fantastic job ensuring that everyone at our wedding had a fun time. The music choices were spot on, and Ryan’s personality and energy were a perfect fit for our event. We highly recommend Ryan for any future events.

Maren and Mike 5/12/18 – Solar Arts Building (Anthony DuBose)

Can not say enough amazing things about DJ Anthony D! We are still getting compliments on him!! He read the crowd so well, was conscious of our “must play” and “do not play lists” and kept the dance floor packed all. night. long. Instant Request has an easy payment process (with the ability to tip online) and Anthony was great when we met with him prior to the event. Super friendly! Would recommend him 110%.

Julie and Andrew 5/12/18 – Marriott Minneapolis Northwest (Rick Ausland)

We had DJ Rick, and he was OUTSTANDING! He definately kept people on the dance floor the entire night! It wasnt like he was just sitting up there hitting ‘play’. He was mixing songs, and kept things very up beat! I would recommend him to anyone!!!

Miranda and Anthony 5/12/18 – St. Croix National Golf Course (David James)

We booked Instant Request for our wedding on May 12th. The online event planner was so organized and made planning very easy! We were assigned DJ David, and he was perfect for our wedding! David was energetic, easy going about quick adjustments and brought such a fun vibe to our day

Katie and Jake 5/12/18 – Surly Brewing Company (Justin Roff)

DJ Justin was great!! We chose the black tie service and he was extremely organized. We had a call a couple weeks before and he reviewed all of the details for our day so I was very confident leading into our day. On the day of he was organized and kept the night moving. He checked in with us occasionally, which was great! Once we got to the dance he kept the dance floor full! My husband decided last minute that he wanted our last song of the night to be a song on his iphone and Justin pulled it off! Highly recommend Instant Request and Justin!

Linda and Nick 5/5/18 – Gale Mansion (Justin Roff)

Justin Roff was our DJ and did a great job at our wedding this past May. He was prompt, polished, and delivered what was promised. He did a great job reading the crowd and kept everyone engaged and on the dance floor. I appreciated having the online music selection tool and felt the whole Instant Request family was very on top of the details and gave great service. Would highly recommend them to future brides/events.

Erin and Riley 5/5/18 – Plymouth Creek Center (Brandon Holland)

Thank you so much for helping the reception and our wedding go so well! It was great knowing we could count on you and you did a great job! Thank you again!

Karla and Neal 5/5/18 – Keller Golf Course (Andy McClure)

My honest rating… they made our event so happy, energetic, and overall atmospheric! Our DJ Andy McClure connected with us on a personal level and made us all feel so warm and welcomed. He definitely knew how to read the crowd. Both sides of the family don’t dance much haha. Andy was so genuine, and professional. I would recommend Instant Request to everyone, and especially Andy!

Meghan and Lief 5/5/18 – St. Paul College Club (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie D was a fantastic DJ! We called the main office and they recommended him to us. He was on top of things as soon as we had him booked, met with us to discuss our preferences and song lists, and was a great presence the whole evening. He understood the vibe of our party. The Instant Request website event planner was really nice as well, letting us fill in all the custom songs we wanted while also letting us prioritize genres etc. The whole process was straightforward, and seemed like a very good value for how much service we got. We would absolutely use Instant Request again.

Melanie and Matt 5/5/18 – Edinburgh USA Golf Club (Eric Michael)

Eric was the DJ for our wedding reception, and he was very nice! He was professional and very helpful in making the evening go smoothly. I would recommend Instant Request 🙂

Hattie and Connor 5/5/18 – Edgewood Farm in Henderson (Alex Knight)

Just wanted to drop you a quick note. Our wedding was last night and the DJ was Alex Knight. He was SO GREAT!! He kept people on the dance floor all night and really did an excellent job coordinating everything. He frequently checked in with us and even dropped us a nice note in our card box. Overall a really positive experience and a big thanks to you and your company and Alex for making that part of our day so incredible! Thanks again.

Tsana and Sam 5/4/18 – Machine Shop (David James)

Instant Request was extremely professional right from the start. Their online event planner made planning easy! We had DJ David for our wedding. He was such a nice guy and very easy going! He had no problem accommodating last minute changes throughout the night. He brought great energy to our reception! I would recommend DJ David and Instant Request to anyone!

Karen and Joe 5/4/18 – Best Western Premier-Nicollet Inn in Burnsville (Bengi Durgunoglu)

We had Bengi as our DJ and he is simply the best!! The whole process of finding our DJ was also smooth and painless with the company. Bengi had the dance floor going all night and he was so much fun!

Jennifer and Travis 5/4/18 – Interlachen Country Club (Anthony DuBose)

We had a great experience with Instant Request! Our DJ was Anthony and he was wonderful. We met with him before the wedding and he was really helpful in figuring out the best songs for things like our last song and entrance song. He did an amazing job of picking songs that got everyone on the dance floor and everyone said how much fun they had! We also had an outdoor ceremony at a park and Anthony made sure the sound worked perfectly! I will recommend Instant Request to all my friends.

Abby and Eric 4/28/18 – Lowertown Event Center (Tom Coughlin)

DJ Tom C was the best DJ we could have had for our wedding! He read the crowd very well and there was not one moment during the night that we heard a song we didn’t like, we honestly would not change a single thing he did. We received so many compliments from our guests on how good our DJ was as well. The event planner tool made the planning process so easy and had everything in it to ensure things went smoothly and exactly the way we wanted. We can’t recommend Instant Request (and DJ Tom C) enough!

Karina and Ben 4/28/18 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Jimmy Bogen)

Thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding. You did such an amazing job with the music between the ceremony, reception and everything else, it truly made our special day even more amazing! It was everything we wanted. We will totally be recommending you to everyone we can in the future.

Jamie and Nathan 4/21/18 – Lumber Exchange Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

Instant Request was absolutely awesome to work with and our DJ, Anthony D, was better than we could have even imagined! He was an absolute dream and kept our dance floor full the entire night! We got so many amazing compliments from our guests about how incredible the music selection was and how much fun Anthony was! He went above and beyond to make our wedding night extra special and even threw in a surprise to keep the party going after his hours were done. We could not have been luckier to have had him! I would recommend him over and over again!

Gretchen and Jay 4/21/18 – Solar Arts Building (Zachary Bayerl)

HIGHLY recommend Instant Request!! We had Zachary B and LOVED him. He was very organized and kept everything running smoothly on our wedding day. The flow of the day is really important and does rely heavily on your DJ. They are awesome – look no further! The online planner was also really helpful throughout the planning process. Thanks all!!

Lauren and Michael 4/21/18 – Green Acres Event Center (Thomas Kramm)

Tom with Instant Request was exactly what we imagined for our DJ! He met with us a few weeks before to talk over our vision for our wedding night, and made sure we were loving every moment of the entertainment on our big day! From our first dance, to our last rowdy song, the dance floor had so much energy. He played the fun older music that my parents and their friends loved, and smoothly transitioned to some fun party music that our younger friends danced to late into the night! We look back at pictures and videos often to reminisce about the fun, crowded dance floor that we spent hours on with our closest family and friends! – Lauren and Michael @ Green Acres Event Center

Lauren and Colin 4/21/18 – Hewing Hotel (Rick Ausland)

We gave our sincere thanks to Rick after our wedding on Saturday, but I wanted to let you know how thrilled Colin and I were with Rick and Instant Request at our wedding! Rick was absolutely fantastic. We might be a little biased, but Colin and I both agreed that he was the best wedding DJ we had ever seen. I can’t tell you how many guests, young and old, gave compliments, or said the Rick was “killing it”, or said it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. Even my step-brother, who is a radio DJ, said it was the best wedding dance floor he had ever had the pleasure of partying on 🙂 Rick was also incredibly professional and an absolute pleasure to work with

Heidi and Kent 4/14/18 – Minneapolis City Hall Rotunda (Jimmy Bogen)

We had Jimmy B for our wedding a couple weeks ago in the April BLIZZARD! I am SO thankful for how amazing he was and that he was able to brave the storm to get there!
Our guests were on the dance floor THE ENTIRE NIGHT and even stuck around after the last dance so Jimmy played an encore song! He even catered to some unique requests that truly made our wedding completely special and memorable. Everyone is still telling us how amazing our party was and we are so grateful to Jimmy for it!

Laura and Cory 4/14/18 – Grand Banquet Hall in Stillwater (Justin Roff)

Thank you SO MUCH for being an awesome part of our wedding this past Saturday in Stillwater! I have received so many compliments on how great you were and how smooth the reception went (despite having a late start due to weather!). Seriously I cannot say enough great things about your services. You made us feel very comfortable with how you ran things at the reception and we were able to sit back and just have fun at our wedding! We have heard from MANY people that it was one of the most fun receptions they’ve ever been to. You made sure that dance floor was never empty! 🙂

Grace and Ryan 4/13/18 – Rosemount VFW (Anthony DuBose)

We just once again want to thank you so much for the great time we had at the wedding reception on 4/13/18. You are truly an amazing DJ. Not that you need it, but good luck on your upcoming marriage. You and your wife will have so much fun

Nacia and Robert 4/7/18 – Turtles 1890 Social Centre (Andy McClure)

Thank you so much for all your hard work to make our wedding day so special and fun. Thanks for keeping the music going till 1:00am. Rob and I had a great time closing out the night with Piano Man. All our Thanks

Megan and Ryan 3/24/18 – Machine Shop (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony was incredible—he created such a great party for us and was so fun and nice to work with. We loved him and would recommend him and Instant Request to anyone

Kristen and Luke 2/24/18 – Cortyard Minneapolis Downtown (Bengi Durgunoglu)

We opted for the black tie package after a fellow co-worker said we had to have Bengi.. and was she correct. I’m so happy that we paid extra to have him. He was awesome! I really put everything into his hands and select most of our songs as he knows much more then I do, and he nailed it. He had guests on the dance floor all night. He even had people asking him for business cards. I had people tell me it was the best DJ they’ve seen at a wedding. Thank you Bengi!!

Kayla and Tony 2/17/18 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (Eric Malmberg)

We worked with DJ Eric Malmberg for our wedding in February, 2018. Eric reviewed our online planner and scheduled a time to video chat with us a few weeks before the ceremony. He had great advice and tips for making our reception go as smoothly as possible. On the day of, Eric arrived early to set up and everything was taken care of. The dance floor was literally packed all night. Thanks, Eric!

Kelly and John 2/10/18 @ Machine Shop (Obi Okeke)

DJ Obi did an awesome job for our wedding! People not only loved the music but his presence was great. He knew what to play and when to play it. He got the party rocking and kept it going. We very much appreciated his work and understanding our style of music and vision for our wedding night.!               – Kelly and John @ Machine Shop

Erica and Shawn 1/20/18 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

We had Anthony for our January 2018 wedding and it couldn’t have been better! He has such a great personality and he kept the party going until the very end of the night, he even played Vikings and Wild chants for us 🙂

Tara and Rob 1/27/18 – Lumber Exchange Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

I can’t say enough positive things about Instant Request! From the initial meeting my husband and I had to go over all of the details and procedures down to the wedding day, everything was so easy and just what we had imagined. We ended up requesting DJ Charlie (based on his bio) and he was absolutely amazing. I can’t tell you how many people came up to me asking who the DJ was. My cousin has already booked DJ Charlie based on the job he did at my wedding. He was so kind, professional, calm and played the exact type of music that I told him I wanted! I can’t say enough positive things about Charlie. Thank you for helping to make our day special!

Jessie and Eric 1/19/18 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony D from Instant Request kept our dance floor full the whole night. He was fun to work and very professional!

Rihanna and Bryce 1/5/18 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (David James)

David was awesome! He was fun to work with and chill. We felt that getting the music we wanted was super important since DJs are not cheap. So David worked with us to make sure we were getting the “rap” style music we like (like Post Malone, Lil Yachty, Chance the Rapper) and explicit versions of songs. While a lot of what we wanted played only got played the last hour, everyone was having so much fun. He was also accommodating and flexible when parents went missing during the anniversary dance or the best man disappeared for a few minutes during the dollar dance. He helped make sure everyone was on time with their speeches/toasts. We received several compliments on the music.

Kate and Gunnar 12/31/17 – Ambiente Gallerie (Ben Nordquist)

Instant Request was great….Ben was amazing! So in tune with our interests and the crowd. Plus he was actually spinning music; mixing it up to flow with the evening. Not just playing songs. It was fantastic!

Erin and Andrew 12/30/17 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (Aaron Neff)

As far as Instant Request goes, we would give the company a 4/5 stars. Overall, a great experience, easy to book, and flexible. Very affordable and we even added karaoke for a reasonable price. We had DJ Aaron for our 12/30/2017 wedding. He did an absolutely outstanding job – picked great songs, read our crowd well, and stuck to our playlist and online event planner! He was also super friendly and easy to work with. Lighting was great, and he even went above and beyond and announced tables for our buffet line. Our only complaints: Unfortunately, we had about a 20-30 min system crash (which wasn’t his fault). He kept our guests well informed about the technical problem which was nice, but it was annoying we didn’t have music for a bit. We wouldn’t recommend karaoke either as the lyrics screen would intermittently turn on/off and the song choices were limited. All in all, I would go with Instant Request if we did it over again, and would highly recommend Aaron!!

Kaleigh and Jason 12/29/17 – Marriott Minneapolis Northwest (Andy McClure)

Thank you so much for DJing our wedding! Your involvement from catching the bouquet at Anna and Chris’s wedding until the last dance at ours was so special. Your skill made it a truly fun and memorable night. Thanks for your help with all my videos as well.

Amanda and Daniel 12/28/17 – FIVE Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

We were extremely pleased with Instant Request! Jimmy was our DJ and we couldn’t have had a better wedding! He listened to what we wanted and was extremely flexible (we were living in Germany at the time and were able to FaceTime!)

Amy and Tony 12/22/17 – Metropolitan Ballroom (Jimmy Bogen)

We’re actually on our honeymoon in Columbia now, reliving our amazing wedding, so we wanted to quickly let you know how unbelievably happy we were with Jimmy! I think I hugged him just as many times as I hugged my own family, maybe even more! Jimmy went above and beyond to make our reception exactly the way we wanted. And believe me, I am a stickler for details and Jimmy met all of my expectations! And he continued to check in with us all night! I cannot say enough good things about Jimmy (except that he is a Lions fan… GO VIKES!!!)! We are so happy with Instant Request! Everyone was so friendly and professional, and your online event planner is so thorough. Thank you for setting up a wonderful system, hiring Instant Request was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Courtney and Tim 12/9/17 – Best Western Premier-Nicollet Inn in Burnsville (Zachary Bayerl)

Zach was amazing!! He did a thorough job figuring out how we wanted the night to go and he executed it perfectly. We received so many compliments and our dance floor was packed the entire time. Our evening was so much fun, mostly because of him!

Maria and Ryan 12/9/17 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

We had Anthony from Instant Request and he was AMAZING! He played the best music and was a blast. We highly recommend him!

Ali and Burke 12/2/17 – Machine Shop (David James)

Thank you so much for being the best DJ at our wedding. You kept our dance floor occuppied all night and played all the music we wanted. We cannot thank you enough. My body literally hurt for days from dancing so hard –

Emily and Cam 12/2/17 – Lowertown Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

I wish I could give 10/5 stars for Instant Request! I cannot say enough good things about this company and our DJ, Anthony! From the start, the ease of the planning tool that they have on the internet is wonderful! You can go on every now and then and fill in the information needed as you finalize details and they make it so user friendly and ask all the necessary thorough questions! After that was completed with met with DJ Anthony (we used the Black Tie service) and we knew right away that he just “got us” and knew what we wanted out of our DJ experience. At the reception, the music was amazing and was EXACTLY what we were looking for. He kept the dance floor full and fun all night long and we received so many compliments about how much fun our dance was. It was largely due to DJ Anthony and Instant Request. I highly recommend this company, and DJ Anthony to anyone looking for a DJ company for their wedding or events.

Liz and Jack 11/18/17 – Solar Arts Building (Chris Butts)

Our DJ was Chris Butts and he did an excellent job with everything. He took the extra time to get pronunciations correct for the grand march and played a great selection that had all age groups dancing all night. Would highly recommend.

Ashley and Shea 11/25/17 – Lowertown Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

Our DJ Charlie did an amazing job! He played great music especially since most of our guests were older, and Charlie was well accommodating. He also had great energy and did an awesome job later when younger people were out dancing. Would highly recommend him

Lindsay and Jordan 11/25/17 – Machine Shop (Bengi Durgunoglu)

We had these guys DJ for our wedding and they are fantastic. Our DJ was Bengi and everything was perfect. They do an awesome job of figuring out how you want the experience to be and take it from there.

Nicole and Brian 11/18/17 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (Michael Majerowicz)

We had DJ Milk (Mike). Our wedding was this past Saturday. Mike was fantastic. I’m a bit picky when it comes to wedding music and Mike provided the exact type of party atmosphere we were looking for. All of our guests were dancing most of the night and kept telling us how great the music was. Best music they’ve had at a wedding. Great energy all night. We also had him be in charge of our wedding ceremony music. He did a great job of that when we switched songs for the bride. He also timed our last song to go on as we kissed and have the intro extend until the pastor introduced us. It was fantastic. Thanks again! Highly recommend him to everyone. Hopefully we get to attend another wedding he DJ’s.

Tiffany and Tim 11/18/17 – Earle Brown Heritage Center (Charlie DuBois)

Thank you so much for providing DJ Charlie D. for our wedding November 18th at Earle Brown Heritage Center. Charlie was so professional from the time he started set up to the time he was tearing everything down. He was so much fun and knew exactly what would keep people on the dance floor. He checked in with us during the night to make sure everything was going well. We got soooo many compliments from our guests on how amazing he was. Would recommend DJ Charlie to anyone! He finished the night with a personalized card to us! Thank you again!

Mackenzie and Alex 11/18/17 – 413 on Wacouta Event Center (David James)

Instant request was amazing to work with and made everything super easy. Also, i can’t say enough great things about DJ David James. David was by far the best part of working with Instant request and really made our wedding into the big dance party we wanted it to be. He kept the energy high and really played to the crowd. We also had some last minute changes and David was able to accommodate everything with ease. Plus he’s just a genuinely nice guy.

Maddie and William 11/17/17 – Woman’s Club of Minneapolis (Anthony DuBose)

Instant Request is AMAZING!!! My husband and I had the honor of having Anthony as our DJ and OH MY GOD! He was fabulous! Our dance floor was packed the entire time. He read our crowd and mixed every song together so the party kept on rolling. If our venue didn’t require us end the party at midnight, I guarantee we would have danced all night long. Highly recommended! THE BEST EVER!

Kristi and Melissa 11/11/17 – Deer Lake Apple Orchard (Natalie Jensen)

I cannot say enough how amazing this group of people is to work with!! There is not one area that this company needs improvement in! I was so happy with their services from the first contact made to midnight on the evening of the wedding…. I have already recommended you to three people in the last three days… Thank you so much for everything

Bridget and AJ 11/11/17 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Eric Darling)

Eric was fantastic. He was flexible and read the crowd so well. There was not a moment that the dance floor was empty. Great to work with and very kind.

Annelise and Mark 11/11/17 – Semple Mansion (Charlie DuBois)

We had Charlie as our DJ and let me tell you, he is the definition of a consummate professional. He came-early, asked questions, listened to feedback, and was very responsive both before and during the wedding. He made us feel comfortable and that we were in charge where we wanted to be, and handled anything that we didn’t want to be in charge of that night. It was fantastic, and the event planner is extremely helpful! I highly recommend Instant Request and Charlie.

Carly and Jay 11/11/17 – Keller Golf Course (Justin Roff)

Justin will keep all guests on the dance floor at all times! My husband and I were not very picky when it came to what music to play and Justin took the lead and played a great set! He kept our guests energized and engaged – we could not have asked for a better DJ.

Aubree and Joe 11/11/17 – Loring Social (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy with Instant Request was the PERFECT DJ. We are so thankful to have had him as our DJ. He kept the dance floor absolutely packed all. night. long. Thank you to Jimmy for making our day extra special!

Ashlee and Tony 11/11/17 – Holiday Inn and Suites in Lake Elmo (Tyler Hylland)

Tyler H. was a great D.J. for our wedding. He was super easy to work with and more than accommodating to anything we needed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a professional. At first we had a bit of a hiccup with our originally assigned DJ, but they quickly replaced him with Tyler H. and I can’t imagine having anyone else for our wedding. Tyler was perfect for us and is a great DJ! If we’re ever in need of a DJ in the future,

Kari and Josh 11/4/17 – Radisson Blu at MOA (Justin Roff)

Instant Request came through with an amazing night for our reception. Our DJ was Justin Roff who had previously DJ’d for my wife’s siter’s wedding a few years back. She was impressed with his work back then so naturally wanted to request him specifically for our reception. Justin didn’t disappoint. We met with him the day before our wedding to go over how things would run and he threw in his input and ideas, especially for someone not so musically inclined as myself, to put together a complete package that turned out better than I could have imagined. During the reception Justin was attentive and gauged the crowd just right to keep the crowd engaged and on the floor. He also did mini announcements for us to keep the entire reception moving and informed to when important things like first dances, cake and even late night snacks would be occurring. Thank you very much!

Jackie and Brett 11/4/17 – St. Paul Hotel (Charlie DuBois)

Instant Request was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process of our wedding. Our wedding was at St. Paul Hotel & our coordinator recommended Instant Request to us from the beginning. After a consultation, we knew it was the perfect fit for us. We opted to upgrade to the “Black Tie DJ,” as we were doing our ceremony music, cocktail hour music, reception music & uplighting through Instant Request. The moment we met Charlie D. we knew we had been paired with the perfect DJ for us. Down to earth, laid back, easy to talk to, professional, and seemed to completely understand what we were looking for.
The night of the wedding he didn’t disappoint. He kept the crowd happy, while completely tending to my husband and I’s song choices. The lighting was perfect and we had many compliments from our family and friends afterwards as to how great he was. THANK YOU to Charlie D. and the entire Instant Request team!

Margo and Paul 11/3/17 – Lumber Exchange Event Center (Andy McClure)

Andy McClure was our Black Tie DJ for our wedding at the Lumber Exchange Event Center in Minneapolis and we all thought he did an outstanding job! Because he is a Black Tie DJ, we had the added benefit of meeting with him at our venue to discuss our music plans. For us to be able to sit face-to-face with than man in control of the music made it much easier to communicate our interests and specifics of what we wanted to happen. While we were very specific about what we wanted, Andy provided some recommendations and even changes that absolutely made the music better. Without question, Andy gets Top Score! The number of attendees who have been raving about the music and dancing makes my wife and I both smile! Thanks Andy McClure!

Elle and Adam 10/28/17 – Lafayette Club (Grahame Beresford)

Grahame Beresford DJ’d my wedding as a Black Tie DJ on 28 October 2017. I wanted to let you know that he did a phenomenal job. He played every song I wanted at the right time. I have zero regrets about choosing him as our DJ!! I look back and think everything went perfectly, which makes a bride very happy. 🙂 On a non-DJ note, we didn’t have the right table cards (which were song titles), but he went with the flow and called out the song titles which corresponded to the table numbers (which we thankfully had as back-ups) during the dancing time. It was such a hit and everyone loved it. I’m so grateful we had Grahame as our DJ!

Erin and Blake 10/28/17 – St. Paul Athletic Club (DaVonte McClam)

Our DJ, Davonte McClam was so good! All my guests made comments on how much they liked the songs and the DJ. I would highly recommend Instant Request and Davonte!

Melissa and Dan 10/28/17 – Minneapolis Event Center (Alex Knight)

Alex K. was our DJ and he had everyone on the dance floor the entire time! He was incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process, and I would highly recommend booking him!

Taylor and Tyler 10/27/17 – Blackberry Ridge Golf Course (Alex Knight)

Alex K was amazing! He was our DJ for our 10/27/17 Wedding and we couldn’t have gotten paired up with anyone better. He was very professional, dependable, and very helpful with all our needs and questions. He went beyond making sure we were happy with the time frames of the day and making sure we got all the songs we wanted to hear. We had to last minute bring the ceremony inside since it snowed, and Alex was so laid back and prepared for everything. Really made us feel at ease! We received many compliments from our guests about him, he really made sure everyone had fun! Thank you so much again Alex!

Liz and Bret 10/21/17 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Justin Roff)

Justin R. was our DJ and he crushed it! Our dance floor was packed the entire night! Don’t be afraid to mix in some of your guys’ special songs, he will definitely work with you to play your favorites!

Jess and Kenny 10/21/17 – Treasure Island Resort and Casino (DaVonte McClam)
Thank you so much for being a part of our special day and for all your hard work! We really appreciate it! We got so many compliments on you!

Bethany and Brandon 10/21/17 – Bunker Hills Golf Club (Aaron Neff)

We worked with DJ Aaron N and he was absolutely phenomenal! We have never attended a wedding where the dance floor was literally packed the entire time. He read our crowd so well and played the perfect songs! Our guests commented on how great it was to have a DJ who listened to their requests. We had a great phone call with Aaron a week before our wedding where he went through all of his questions and confirmed the details. We could not be more happy with how everything went. Thank you so so much!

Kayla and Chris 10/20/17 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Charlie DuBois)

Chris and I were lucky to have Charles be our DJ at our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He was so fun and upbeat and kept the crowd involved! He kept the reception on schedule and gave us a heads-up on everything. He met with me two weeks before the wedding to go over our songs, time line and any other questions/requests we may have. If anyone is looking for an amazing DJ, instant request is where it’s at! Thank you so much again for everything!!! -The Gray’s

Theresa and Eric 10/20/17 – International Market Square (Andrew Najafalipour)

We loved working with Instant Request and with Andrew N.! The event planner made things very streamlined and easy, and ensured that our music was exactly how we wanted. Andrew listened to our requests and was very accommodating. Multiple friends complimented our music during our wedding dance and we felt it was perfect! Thank you Instant Request!

Jennifer and Mitchell 10/14/17 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony did our wedding ceremony and reception (announcing and music) and was AMAZING! He was talented, engaging, and fun! Everything went seamlessly and was the best investment of money on our wedding day 🙂

Sara and Mari 10/14/17 – Gale Woods Farm (Zachary Bayerl)

We worked with Instant Request for our wedding at Gale Woods Farm in October. All I have to say is WOW!!! We purchased the Black Tie package and Matt was wonderful to correspond with! He answered all of my questions thoroughly and promply. We chose DJ Zach B and boy am I glad we did! We could not have asked for a better DJ! Zach read the crowd, interacted when need be but stayed back and just let the dance happen when he felt nothing needed to happen. He was great about making sure we stayed on task for speeches as well as helped get the wedding party assembled and ready for the opening “parade” in! He was so organized and respectful, yet so fun and down to earth! Our dance floor had no less than 40 people on it all night. It never stopped! I truly felt like Zach was a guest at our wedding and not a paid employee at our event! He honestly cared about my wife and I and we are so grateful for him! We even invited him out to the bar with us after the wedding with our friends and he came and chatted and was just part of the group. We have had so many people message us and ask for his name, including our wedding caterers (who have been to thousands of weddings themselves). They want to share Zach’s name and Instant Request when people ask if they have suggestions. Thank you Instant Request for helping us find Zach! We loved him!!!

Kayla and Mitchell 10/14/17 – Hazeltine Golf Club (Jimmy Chien)

We had Jimmy C for our DJ and he was fabulous!!!! From our first phone convo with him we were immediately put at ease with his organization. It was so nice to be able to use the Event Planner to input the songs we wanted for our first dance, cocktail hour music, dinner music, all the names of our bridal party and who was going to be introduced and which song we wanted for that, etc.
Our dancefloor was packed ALL night!!!! Although he didn’t play every song we put on our “list” of songs, Jimmy totally read the crowd and kept people out there all night! I think our wedding guests would have danced all night if they could!!
Thank you again, Jimmy!!!! We have been highly recommending Instant Request to any future bride and groom!

Paige and Ira 10/14/17 – Wayzata Country Club (Halie Bahr)

Thank you so very much for being the BEST DJ at our wedding on October 14th at Wayzata Country Club. We honestly had the best time and you helped set the vibe for us and all of our friends and family. Since our wedding, we have heard from countless wedding guests that they thought you did a fantastic job and wanted to know your specific name and employer! We could not agree more! Thank you so much for being such an special part of our wedding day and for leaving a lasting impression on us and our guests. We also love that you signed our guestbook! So thoughtful of you!

Kelsey and Alexander 10/14/17 – James J. Hill Reference Library (Tom Coughlin)

Instant request was great – priced reasonably, and provided us with excellent service on our wedding day. Everything went perfectly, wouldn’t change a thing!

Julia and Evan 10/14/17 – MN History Center (David James)

DJ David James (aka DJ DJ) was an amazing person to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He was extremely professional, yet a ton of fun and very personable. He knew how to get everyone on the dance floor and matched our style perfectly. I cannot recommend him enough!

Amy and Matt 10/14/17 – Solar Arts Building (Jimmy Bogen)

We loved working with Instant Request. The online planner helped us to organize both our ceremony and reception music as well as make sure everything with our music & microphones went flawlessly for the entire event. We had very few required songs, and let Jimmy use his expertise for the dance portion, and it was awesome – our dance floor was full until the very last song!

Cassi and Orion 10/13/17 – CHS Field (Anthony DuBose)

I cant say enough positive things about DJ Anthony. he did everything we asked for and more. He read the crowd and knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. I spoke with him privately a few days before my wedding to pull off a huge surprise for my bride and he executed PERFECTLY. I would give him more than five stars if i could. when he was packing up, we decided to double his tip because everyone loved him so much. We are still getting compliments for hiring him. Thank you Anthony for everything. You were a huge part in making our reception great! Not only all of this, but we were literally about to not even HAVE a DJ at our wedding. We went to two wedding fairs and thought everyone was just a stereotypical d-bag and they all fed us the same lines about how they’re better than the others guys and how they’re soooo unique. then we walked passed Anthony and he was just jamming at his booth, doing his own thing and asked how we were doing. That was all. So we approached him and got to talking to him and knew he was our guy. We went home that afternoon and booked Instant Request and requested Anthony the next day. Don’t let the other guys fool you with their bs sales pitch.

Betsy and Neal 10/13/17 – Kilkarney Hills Golf Club (Zachary Bayerl)

We could not have been happier with Instant Request DJ! The online forms are so easy and really allows you to customize your whole day.
We just did the basic package and were assigned DJ Zach B. He was awesome!!!!! Sincerely couldn’t have asked for anything better and we would certainly recommend Instant Request DJ and Zach B. to anyone!

Megan and Arne 10/8/17 – Semple Mansion (Jimmy Bogen)

We are so happy we hired instant request for our wedding – Jimmy B was our DJ and he was fantastic! We had the best dance party we could have imagined, and the professionalism showcased by both Jimmy and Instant Request was phenomenal. Plus, the price is just right! Highly recommend!

Abby and Jake 10/7/17 – University Club on Summit (Bengi Durgunoglu)

We cannot thank you enough for the amazing job you did as the DJ at our wedding last October. Everything was absolutely perfect! Our guest list ranged from hipster music snobs to plenty of baby boomers and everyone thought you did the best job they’d ever seen. The dance floor was packed continously until the end of the night, and one guest noted that it was because you didn’t play a single bad an even mediocre song. Every song was great and afterward we had guests asking us for the song list so they could try to recreate it at their own events. But of course, it’s not just about the songs, your order and timing was perfect too! We had such a great time working with you! Meeting with you before the wedding was so much fun and you immediately understood the feeling we wanted in the music, but you vastly exceeded what we could have imagined, making the music truly one of the highlights of the reception! Thanks again for everything. You and Instant Request are truly the best!

Katie and Nick 10/7/17 – Minneapolis Event Center (Justin Roff)

We worked with Justin and boy did he keep the dance floor full! Our reception was a bit non-traditional in terms of reception style. Justin was able to work with us to try something a little different. He was able to read the crowd and provide an evening that engaged all age groups and keep the evening fun!

Abby and Colin 10/7/17 – Superior Shores Resort in Two Harbors, MN (Grahame Beresford)

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how very pleased we were with using Instant Request for our wedding Oct. 7th. Grahame was fantasitc!!! He was personable, professional and so easy to work with. Out of all the things that go into a wedding Colin and I were most satisfied with the DJ and photographers we picked. I will be promoting your services and if there is anyone that ever wants a verbal testimony, I would be happy to talk to them anytime.

Kirsten and Matt 10/7/17 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Anthony DuBose)

From working in the wedding industry previously, I knew before I even got engaged who I wanted to DJ my wedding. Instant Request with DJ Anthony was the second vendor I booked after my wedding venue and I wouldn’t have changed anything for the world. The online planning tool was fantastic at keeping you organized and made sure no detail was forgotten. Anthony was always prompt in his responses prior to the wedding and his day of skills are second to none! I am a firm believer that a DJ can make or break your reception and Anthony did not disappoint! I always recommend him and Instant Request to all my friends and family. If you are in need of a DJ to keep the dance floor full all night, an upbeat, positive attitude and all around rock star DJ, Anthony is your man!

Sara and Blake 10/7/17 – Horse and Hunt Club (Charlie DuBois)

We just wanted to say thank you again for doing such an amazing job at our wedding! We had an absolute blast that night and have received so many compliments on how fun our dance was! Thanks to you!

Marta and Steve 10/7/17 – Psycho Suzi’s Tiki Lounge (Michael Majerowicz)

Michael (DJ Milk) Majerowicz was our wedding DJ, and he was absolutely amazing. He is such a talented DJ! He mixes his songs perfectly, and has a clear passion for music. He is so nice, and easy to talk to! He will make your wedding planning experience a breeze from a DJ standpoint. He has done a ton of weddings, so he knows how to make you feel confident that there’s nothing to worry about. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Christine and Chad 10/7/17 – Woodhill Country Club (Kailen Nelson)

Kailen was a rockstar! We had multiple people tell us after the wedding how awesome the DJ was and how the jams just never stopped coming. “I kept trying to take a break and grab a drink, but every song was so good, it was hard to find the time!” was our most common review. From song #1 until we tried to call it a night, the dancefloor was full. We had a solid group still wanting to dance at last call. I’ve been to weddings where the DJ wasn’t quite reading the room and it’s tough to see an empty floor. This was not at all the case for us; not even one dud played! I absolutely recommend IR DJ, especially Kailen!

Kailey and Stephen 10/7/17 – Scandia Creamery (Eric Darling)

We paid the little extra for the “black tie” package, meaning we got to pick and meet with our DJ before hand. We picked Eric Darling. We meet with him a few weeks before and went over the day. The helpful thing was the online planner which allowed you to think of all the details before the meeting. The day of the wedding Eric was PERFECT! He was very professional. He kept in touch with us throughout the evening to coordinate the “events” cake cutting, father/daughter dance, garter toss, ect. The music was amazing and perfect fit. A DJ really can make or break your wedding and he definitely made the evening. Our dance floor was packed until the very end.                                                                                                                                   

Tamicka and Jason 10/7/17 – Muse Event Center (Jamir Hopson)

Had Jamir as my wedding DJ. He was the nicest person and full of energy. He had a huge smile on his face the entire night, was happy to accommodate any requests, ran things smoothly, and etc. It was a fun night, people said the music was great and I was overall pleased

Shelby and Derek 10/7/17 – Private residence (Josh Perkins)

I have recommended Instant Request to everyone I know that is getting married! Not only did I love the online planner, i loved that our DJ kept things going on schedule without being pushy! He also dismissed tables for us for dinner so we didn’t have to, and played a huge variety of fun music!! 

Victoria and Nicholas 10/7/17 – Stonebrooke Golf Club (Brandon Holland)

We Used Brandon H – Black Tie DJ Instant request! he was absolutely amazing this whole company was so easy to work with so quick to respond to any and all questions and they have an amazing online planner tool that makes everything so simple when putting together your playlist and ceremony music!

Emily and Chris 10/6/17 – Keller Golf Course (Anthony DuBose)

Instant Request was awesome! We had so much fun at my sister’s wedding with DJ Anthony D that we had to have him for our wedding too! Awesome dance music, great at reading the crowd and getting people on the dance floor. We also used him for our ceremony music and he did a great job! Highly recommend him and Instant Request as a whole! Thanks for helping make our day a great one!

Kiley and Isaac 10/6/17 – Stonebrooke Golf Club (Alex Knight)

Our experience with instant request was great from start to finish. Their online booking system was simple, payments were easy to make, and the online planning system worked flawlessly. They were very accommodating even when we changed the date of our wedding. Once we were assigned a DJ, we got to have a phone call with him a few weeks ahead of time to confirm details and answer questions. Even though he was in Australia at the time, he woke up early so that we could have a phone call with him at a time that worked for us. When the wedding day came, DJ Alex was helpful, courteous, and respectful to our family, wedding party, and all guests. He helped keep us on schedule, but allowed room for flexibility when a few things took longer. He knew who to give the microphone to and when to do it. When the dancing finally started, he was an absolute hit. He knew what songs to play and when. The standard lighting setup worked great for us too. It was a great addition to the dancefloor, and was even synced to many of the songs. We’ve received many compliments about him in the days since our wedding.
I highly recommend Instant Request and DJ Alex to any couple planning a wedding. If you aren’t sold on the idea of a DJ and are thinking about doing it yourself, think again. He made our day go so much smoother, and it helped us enjoy our wedding day so much more since we didn’t have to worry about little details. Thank you Instant Request and DJ Alex!

Erin and Greg 10/6/17 – Minneapolis Event Center (Rick Ausland)

Rick Ausland with Instant Request was AWESOME! He is so knowledgeable on how to handle music at a wedding to keep things smooth throughout the day and ending with a packed danced floor. He also thinks about the little details you don’t think of. He pays close attention to each details. Fantastic!!

Kate and Andy 10/1/17 – Historic Hope Glen Farm (Bengi Durgunoglu)

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Bengi through Instant Request. Using the Black Tie service was so worth it so we could meet with him in person. He was so patient and gave us some great insights and helped us navigate and think through things we hadn’t thought of before. We left the meeting feeling extremely confident that the music at our wedding would be perfect, and it was! He fulfilled every request we asked for and played some songs that I loved but didn’t think of to ask for. He kept the flow going throughout the night and we had a consistent number of people on the dance floor! Our guests that were with us to the end didn’t want the music to stop! It was so wonderful and we had so many guests comment on how awesome Bengi was. He did our ceremony, social hour, dinner, and dance music and I never worried about anything during the whole day. It was awesome to have the peace of mind that everything was taken care of. As I’m sure most people are, my now-husband and I are big music people and we had a lot of songs on our do not play list and we had a lot of songs on must play list and everything was absolutely perfect. Bengi is also so nice and just a wonderful person. We connected with him right away and it felt like one of our friends was our DJ. Couldn’t be happier with Bengi and Instant Request!     

Stephanie and Jared 9/30/17 – Private residence (Brandon Holland)

Brandon was AMAZING!!!! Our guests couldn’t stop raving at how our wedding had the best dance floor they’ve ever been to. I’ve honestly never seen a dance floor that packed for 5 hours straight. My friends commented how sore their feet were from dancing so much at our wedding. He did a great job of interacting and joking around with guests as well during the dinner. Couldn’t be happier with our choice to pick Brandon!

Monica and Jermaine 9/30/17 – Campus Club of the University of Minnesota (Jamir Hopson)

Professional. Conscientious. Accommodating. These are just a few words that come to mind when I think of my experience working with Jamir Hopson through Instant Request DJ Entertainment for my wedding. We met in person twice before the big day: to discuss musical preferences and to rehearse. For both instances, he provided thoughtful considerations and purposeful recommendations; he was prompt, communicative and creative in his thinking and execution. During the wedding ceremony and reception, Jamir maintained the perfect pace and remained attentive to guests, making sure everyone had a good time. Jamir is personable and a pleasure to work with; most importantly, he’s great at what he does!

Natasha and Matt 9/30/17 – Landing-Minnesota River Heritage (Jimmy Chien)

Instant Request was great to work with. We initially went down to the office building for out first consult, and explained to them what we wanted for our ceremony and reception. They have an online event planner that makes it really easy to get the music just the way you want it. I filled it out, and the DJ they assigned us was Jimmy. He was very laid back and a perfect fit for the kind of reception we had. There were a couple of glitches with the microphones, but they were fixed almost immediately. We had a great experience with them, I would recommend them to anyone!

Kimberly and Nathan 9/30/17 – U of M Arboretum in Chaska (Colton Arneson)

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend Instant Request! Our DJ Colton was the perfect fit for us as he kept the party going and the dance floor full. The online planner was easy to complete and all of our music was accommodated from the ceremony through the reception.

Laura and Ben 9/30/17 – Holiday Inn and Suites in Lakeville (Charlie DuBois)

My husband and I recently had this vendor for our wedding reception, and had an incredible experience working with them. The online event planner was very helpful with organizing details for our big day, and we really enjoyed chatting with our DJ prior to the event. We had black tie DJ Charlie DuBois, and cannot express enough how great he was! Not only was he very fun and personable, but he did an incredible job selecting music that appealed to everyone and kept everyone on the dance floor. He went above and beyond, and even took the time to announce the birthday of one of our guests. I would highly recommend this vendor to everyone. Very impressed!

Katie and Andrew 9/30/17 – Doubletree Park Place (Charity Bess)

My husband and I were VERY pleased with our Instant Request experience. We were paired up with Charity as our DJ. She was AMAZING. From our initial action over email, to our phone conversation to discuss the details of our big day, she made everything very easy. She is professional and enthusiastic. When the big day came, everything flowed very nicely. She is able to “read a crowd” and kept our dance floor packed for the majority of the night. I highly recommend Charity as a DJ!

Lisa and Derek 9/30/17 – Hewing Hotel (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Instant Request DJ was recommended by 2 friends of mine who had used their company. Neither of the DJs they used were available and based on my profile, Mitch with Instant Request suggested I book DJ Benji for my wedding. My wedding was last weekend and I was so impressed with Benji and the service I received from him. I booked the black tie service and was able to meet in person with Benji prior to the event. He had great suggestions and listened to my ideas and took great notes during our meeting. I was somewhat clueless about the whole process and he was so patient and helped me better understand things. I think our first meeting was 2 hours long! I later provided him with a timeline and some do not play and do play songs. He followed my instructions exactly- never deviated from what we talked about in our first meeting. He also handled all music for the ceremony and everything was timed perfectly. During the reception-he had everyone dancing all night- the mixes he did were so great and he really read the crowd. He was the right blend of involved while not being over the top and he was just a super nice guy to boot. Can’t say enough how happy I was with Benji!!!!!

Brittany and Aaron 9/30/17 – Harriet Island Pavilion (Anthony Smith)

Anthony Smith recently DJ’d for our wedding. I could not be happier with the quality of the music he chose! Everything from the dinner music to the dance music was great! He played many of the songs we requested and was able to feel the mood of the crowd for he rest! He was a great people person and I highly recommend him to anyone else who is looking for a DJ for their special day.                                       

Hallie and Michael 9/30/17 – St. Paul Athletic Club (Rick Ausland)

Rick was amazing we are still getting compliments on the DJ! He partied with us until 1 in the morning and played everything we asked and more. It was well planned out and he was very, very flexible and easy to work with throughout the night. 10/10 recommend

Kari and Chris 9/30/17 – Lafayette Club (Tyler Hylland)

We could not have been more pleased with instant request. Tyler H. did an amazing job and was quick to adapt to the needs of my husband and I along with our guests. Tyler deserves recognition for his work, he was a pleasure to work with. Our up lighting was exquisite and made our venue more beautiful than it already was. Thanks Tyler!

Kaite and Neil 9/30/17 – Day Block Event Center (Aaron Neff)

My wedding was last night and I wanted to pass on that Aaron did a great job! The dance floor was full the whole night. I will definitely recommend you guys to others.

Laura and Nick 9/29/17 – Monticello Community Center (Anthony DuBose)

We cannot express how incredibly grateful we are for DJing our wedding on September 29th. You were absolutely fantastic and we had so many compliments on how great you were. Thank you for making our special day perfect. We are forever grateful! We will definitely be recommending you!

Melissa and Josh 9/29/17 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was more than amazing. He had everyone on the dance floor and the night never stopped.                 

Amanda and Jordan 9/29/17 – Rockwoods Banquet and Conference Center (Charlie DuBois)

We had a Black Tie DJ Charlie D for our wedding! He was phenomenal! He is very personable and it was like we had known him for years. He played all the music we wanted and mixed things in seamlessly. His service was way more than I had ever expected and we could not be any happier with him! I FULLY recommend Instant request and Charlie D! Thank you so much!! It was awesome working with you!

Kate and Andrew 9/29/17 – Machine Shop (Nate Anderson)

Have you ever seen a more packed and amazing dance floor?! Without you the wedding would have been no where near as amazing. You did such an amazing job making my entrance dramatic as all hell and the timing with everything was absolutely perfect. My personal favorite moment was dancing on a chair with the headset on. LEGENDARY. Again, I seriously can’t thank you enough. You made our night everything I had ever dreamed of and you really did take care of us:) YOU ARE THE BEST!

Nicole and Steven 9/23/17 – Plymouth Creek Center (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie was 100% phenomenal and we couldn’t be more gratified with our experience with him as our DJ for our wedding. We thank him for his artistic ability and all his help (especially when we had him take the hate for not wanting guests to clink their glasses!).

Alex and Bryce 9/23/17 – Turtles 1890 Social Centre (Darshan Karanjekar)

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. First of all, the online event planner is extremely thorough and helpful. They have really thought of it all, and it was fun and easy to fill out. My favorite part, though, was how you could create your own playlist. I had not seen this from any other DJ company, so it immediately hooked me. Now onto our DJ… finding a DJ that could really give us the reception and dance we wanted was the number one priority for us when planning our wedding. Unfortunately, our DJ that we had initially picked called in sick the day of our wedding, so they sent Darshan to fill in for him. We were a little nervous at first, because it was unexpected and last minute. I was worried he wouldn’t exactly know anything about our timeline or profile, but oh my goodness he was AMAZING. Darshan kept the dance floor packed the whole night and really honored the playlist we created. We had so many friends comment on how great he was at choosing what songs to play next and fading songs into the next. It was so cool. He was also very kind and gave us such a sweet card at the end of the night. Darshan, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You helped make our reception memorable! Our friends didn’t want to leave!                                     

Chelsea and Chris 9/23/17 – Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake (Obi Okeke)

I would highly recommend Instant Request as your DJ Vendor. Everything was set up online as far as what songs you wanted, people involved, fun audience interactions, etc. You fill in the blanks to have it catered to your liking and the DJ called a couple weeks prior to make sure he has an idea of your ideal wedding day and goes your list of requests the whole night. We had DJ Obi and he was very accommodating and polite to everyone. He was able to set up his equipment outside for an outdoor ceremony and pulled everything inside during the social hour through dinner and the dancing the night away. I would highly recommend Obi! He even wrote a sweet note to my husband and I before he departed for the night.

Ariel and Jeremy 9/23/17 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Justin Roff)

Justin from Instant Request did an amazing job at our wedding. He knew exactly what to play to keep people on the dance floor. He kept the crowd engaged the entire night and our guests loved him just as much as we did. I would recommend Justin from instant request to anyone looking for a truly amazing DJ.

Alicia and Tyler 9/22/17 – Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake (JUstin Roff)

We had Justin R. As our DJ, he was awesome! He knew the crowd and knew fun things to do to keep people up and dancing!

Jillian and Jack 9/22/17 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was absolutely great – he got in touch with us a couple weeks before the wedding and went through our preferences, as we had a fair amount of music picked. He was great at reading the crowd and playing music that everyone loved, and our guests had such a wonderful time! Jimmy was professional, kind, and super fun to work with, and I can’t recommend him and Instant Request enough!

Cathryn and Terry 9/22/17 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (Kailen Nelson)

We had Kailen as our DJ the night of our wedding and he was FANTASTIC! I couldn’t have been happier. He was super easy going leading up to our wedding, including being totally understanding when I emailed him week of asking to change our first dance song. He checked in with my husband and I throughout the night to make sure everything was good and that we were covering what we wanted. Checked on volume for dinner to make sure we were happy with that. And when I couldn’t decide on what to play for the final song, I had him choose and he knocked it out of the park. I cried, not sure he knows that. He was awesome and I would recommend both Instant Request and Kailen to anyone who needs a DJ.

Grace and Marko 9/17/17 – St. Mary’s Lake Calhoun Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was wonderful! We were so pleased with this service for our wedding.

Sheridan and Issac 9/16/17 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Obi Okeke)

Our original DJ ended up getting sick the day of our wedding, but the replacement DJ, Obi, did a great job filling in! There were a few things that I think would have gone more smoothly with the DJ I’d had a chance to talk to in planning, but of course I am the only one who noticed the “snags”! We got tons of comments on how great the DJ was, and he kept people on the dance floor all night, making me a very happy bride

Mackenzie and David 9/15/17 – Minikahda Club (Justin Roff)

David and I want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding. We were hesitant about having a DJ rather than a band at first but could not be happier that we chose Instant Request and you as our DJ. We had so much fun on the dance floor and received countless compliments on the music and on how well you MC’d throughout the night. Thank you again for everything! We hope your arm is feeling better!

Michaela and Alex 9/15/17 – Bloomington Event Center (David James)

DJ David was phenomenal. He was super friendly, outgoing and very easy to communicate with. He played alot of the music on our playlist and really kept our guests excited and moving for our wedding. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to play at our wedding. Thank you so much for making our day that much more special David!

Bailey and Ben 9/9/17 – Theodore Wirth Chalet (Brandon Holland)

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. It was truly the best day of our lives and we loved every minute of it! Thank you for continuously working with us and helping us create personalized touches, an amazing day, and truly unforgettable memories. You rocked it! Thank you for keeping the dance floor packed and the party going.

Lauren and Joe 9/9/17 – Medina Entertainment Center (Tom Coughlin)

Tom was great! He kept the party going the whole time! He wasn’t afraid to change a song if it wasn’t working and was willing to work with us on all of our requests! He also helped us through the flow of the evening and gave suggestions on what worked best. The company overall was very responsive and we really enjoyed our experience!       

Ali and Jack 9/9/17 – Lafayette Club (Jimmy Bogen)

DJ Jimmy was AMAZING…we have received SO many compliments from our guests! Jimmy kept the dance floor packed all night and read the crowd really well. He also DJ’ed our outdoor ceremony and it went great. I highly recommend doing the black tie version for the in-person meeting with your DJ! We were so impressed with every interaction we had with Jimmy and Instant Request overall! Highly recommend!

Megan and Brian 9/8/17 – Medina Golf and Country Club (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Thank you for being the BEST DJ we could have asked for! Your personality, music, and DJ styling were a perfect compliment to our reception! We’ve had to many compliments from guests on how much they loved the music! Also, the uplighting was a perfect finishing touch to the room at Medina Golf and Country Club! You can bet we will be referring you to others!

Charlotte and Bridget 9/3/17 – Semple Mansion (Natalie Jensen)

Natalie had everyone dancing all night long. She was incredible. Matt was SO easy to work with. He made sure we had everything we needed, even special requests. People are STILL telling us how much fun they had, even two months later. Highly recommend this team.

Brett and Jake 9/3/17 – Pique Travel (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Jake and I had the most amazing wedding experience thanks to Bengi’s mad DJ-I got skills! We would give him a 10 out of 10!! We loved how he paid attention to our needs and requests, he interacted with our guests and the music was fantastic! Our guests said that we had the most fun dance floor of any wedding they have been to and I think that is in large part due to Bengi! The dance floor was packed the whole night!!  I have recommended him to a few friends planning weddings and events, we loved him!!  He was amazing and made our wedding so fun & worry-free!! Book him for your wedding, you won’t regret it!   

Savanna and Nathan 9/3/17 – Envision Event Center (Cody Koss)

Our wedding was on 9/3/17 and we had Cody as our DJ! Choosing Instant Request for our DJ and uplighting services made our big day run so smoothly. One of my biggest concerns was the sound quality and making sure every guest could hear the toasts. This was not a problem. The music was great, there were always guests on the dance floor, and Cody handled all of our last minute requests very professionally and efficiently! Our uplighting also transformed the whole room! Will definitely be recommending to future brides!

Michelle and Nick 9/3/17 – Vadnais Heights Commons (Anthony DuBose)

We had Anthony and he did an amazing job. He was very enthusiastic and kept the reception on track with everything we had planned to do. Also this company has a great online system to pick music for every possible event during your reception and even things I didn’t even think of, like games and fun line dances. It also allows you to mark songs/genres you absolutely DO NOT want played. They are very organized and I’m happy we went with them!

Megan and Ben 9/2/17 – Private residence (Zachary Bayerl)

Matt and Mitch: You guys are amazing! It was so nice working with such an organized system! Our experience with Instant Request was out of this world! Thanks again for everything! Hope we can use you in the future for another party! Now…DJ Mad Love Zach B! You were one heck of a top notch beat bumpin DJ! Best Ever! We all had a blast! I knew you were good when the only words i said to you all day were hi, bye, thank you! You do a great job and we were so lucky to be paired up with you! Thanks for making our wedding better than perfect!

Danielle and Kyle 9/2/17 – Vadnais Heights Commons (Anthony DuBose)

What an incredible vendor, above and beyond. Anthony hosted our wedding and was the BEST. All of our guests couldn’t stop raving about how fun our dance floor was. He really hit it out of the park and we loved his mixes. Dancing never stopped and it was the best party we could of ever imagined. Would recommend this vendor over and over again!                               

Heidi Jo and Jeff – 9/2/17 – Loft at Studio J (Lisa Harrigan)

Lisa was great! She kept the party alive the night of our wedding. Their online planner was extremely useful in the planning process. My Groom and I are pretty picky about music, so we were sure to utilize the online planner as much as we could.

Joanna and James 9/2/17 – Science Museum of MN (Manny Minter)

Manny did a wonderful job! He did such a great job with controlling the flow of the wedding, playing songs that the group enjoyed, and was overall great to work with.

Branda and Scott 9/2/17 – Five Lakes Resort in Frazee (Rick Ausland)

We had Rick for our DJ–he was AWESOME! He played tons of great music and spun it all together seamlessly. Our dance floor was full all night, and even the photo booth people commented on the great play list! When the guests started requesting the Cuban Shuffle, which I’m not a fan of, he asked if he could play it since three people requested it. It was a hit, and it was timed for when I wasn’t even on the floor anyway. Thank you!

Nicole and Andy 9/2/17 – Private Residence (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Dj Bengi was amazing! Kept everything going and people were having an absolute blast! We couldnt of asked for a better night! The music choices that we selected beforehand were played, and we felt so taken care of. Book with Bengi and you wont be disappointed!

Jessica and Rob 9/2/17 – Marriott Minneapolis Southwest (Halie Bahr)

My wife and I went through Instant Request for our wedding and we loved it! Halie Bahr was our DJ and she made the night fun and kept people on the dance floor. She had a DJ tech with her as well ( I can not remember his name) but he helped our guests get more into the music ( He was a great dancer!). Instant request made us feel like family and helped us with every step along the way. The DJ planner was a little complicated at first but my wife and I eventually got the hang of it and were able to add alot of music to our playlist! I highly recommend instant request if you are in need of a DJ service! 

Emily and Tyler 9/2/17 – Next Chapter Winery (David Perez)

We had DJ David Perez for our wedding and he was absolutely wonderful! He was very accommodating, easy to work with and used our playlist in a way that kept everyone on the floor all night! I would definitely recommend Instant Request!

Kasey and Trent 8/26/17 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Zach Bayerl)

Thank you, from the bottom of our heart for being such a fantastic DJ at our wedding on August 26th. It was so special that you played Janet Jackson after my sister’s speech. You made our dance so memorable. You are truly the best DJ we’ve ever seen and will definitely recommend you to all of our family and friends. Thanks for everything!

Kelsey and Bobby 8/26/17 – Town and Country Club (DaVonte McClam)

We were really impressed with Davonte! He did a great job leading up to the wedding and the entire night at the reception! The dance floor was packed the whole night, which we loved. We had multiple people come up to us to tell us how much they loved the DJ. Before the wedding, he confirmed the plan over the phone and followed up with any outstanding questions. He was also very responsive via text message if we had any small items we’d like to let him know about. Davonte was very professional in balancing any requests from our guests which didn’t perfectly align with what the groom and I had in mind. We were a little concerned when initially booking with Instant Request since we did not have a DJ assigned until 3 weeks in advance of our wedding but we were very happy with the online planning tool and our DJ!             

Danielle and Connor 8/26/17 – Earle Brown Heritage Center (Colton Arneson)

We are back from our honeymoon and just wanted to thank you again for being a part of our wedding and reception. We were so pleased with you as our DJ- even our guests commented on how well you did! (My sister, Jenny, with all the requests,  said you will be her DJ whenever she gets married too haha). You were an essential piece of our wedding and reception and exceeded our expectations.Thank you again and best of luck in your continued DJ career! We will recommend you to all our friends. We had a great experience with Instant Request. We had a few issues with eatablishing contact with our first DJ, and were assigned a new DJ- Colton, who was fabulous! He was a joy to work with, communicated with us throughout the night, and even our guests commented on how great our DJ was. Would highly recommend Instant Request and specifically Colton. You will not be disappointed!

Hannah and Daniel 8/19/17 – Private residence (David James)

Fantastic online planner. Had DJ David James, he did a FANTASTIC job- kept people on the dance floor, read the crowd, and was able to keep the party going! Would recommend Instant Request to anyone looking for a great wedding DJ.

Stephanie and Edward 8/19/17 – Hidden Meadow and Barn in Pepin (Grahame Beresford)

Super professional and awesome DJ for our wedding. He kept the dance floor going nonstop until we had to shut it down. Did a great job of fusing our music style and the vibe of the crowd to keep the energy going. Would absolutely recommend!

Laura and John 8/19/17 – Old Log Theater (Tom Coughlin)

Tom was amazing! He was incredibly fun to work with. He was personable and positive. Tom helped my husband and I figure out what kind of music we wanted to play during the reception and he kept the dancing going all night! He helped make our night one we will never forget.
Instant Request was also an amazing company to work with. They were quick to respond to any questions I had and provided us a great package with a very reasonable price! We were extremely happy with everyone we worked with from Instant Request

Laura and Aaron 8/19/17 – Minikahda Club (Ryan Weber)

Instant Request was SO easy to work with, and their pricing was great! We were assigned to work with DJ Ryan W, and he did an amazing job. He played all of the songs we requested, along with songs I hadn’t even thought of that got everyone out on the dance floor. We ended the night in a giant circle, with Piano Man playing. It was the best! Would definitely recommend Instant Request and DJ Ryan!!                              

Beth and Seth 8/19/17 – Radisson Blu at MOA (Zachary Bayerl)

Overall, we were very happy with our choice of DJ. Zachary was excellent at reading the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor. Everyone had a great time, and the music flowed nicely.

Kelsey and Tyler 8/19/17 – JX Event Venue (DaVonte McClam)

Our DJ was DaVonte, and he did a FANTASTIC job! He had everyone out on the dance floor all night long and even got out there himself! He was great about communicating both before the big day and during, checking to be sure everything was according to plan and the way we wanted. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about what a great job he did. Would definitely recommend!  I wanted to say thank you SO MUCH for being the DJ at our wedding. You did an awesome job and everyone had so much fun dancing!                

Johanna and Travis 8/18/17 – Silverwood Park Visitor Center (Charlie DuBois)

Thank you so much for rockin our wedding! We really enjoyed working with you and loved our Instant Request experience.  I think you hit the nail on the head with playlist and song choices! Our wedding was perfect and thank you for being part of it

Simone and Ryan 8/12/17 – Town & Country Club (Charlie DuBois)

We had Charlie DuBois as our DJ and we can’t say enough good things about him! Everyone keeps giving me feedback that they absolutely loved our DJ. He was professional, personable, and fun! In the meeting leading up to our wedding day he made sure to have everything organized and made sure we were on the same page. The reception went along seamlessly because of Charlie! We highly recommend Charlie at Instant Request!

Deanna and Seth 8/12/17 – Minneapolis Event Center (Kailen Nelson)

Thank you so much for DJing on our big day! You got the crowd going and had everyone out on the dance floor having a good time! Thank you for taking videos and photos throughout the night as well!

Amberly and Greg 8/12/17 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (Colton Arneson)

Colton A. was the DJ for our August 2017 wedding and we can’t say enough good things about our experience! The online event planner on the Instant Request website was super easy to use and included questions we hadn’t thought of ourselves. After we completed the planner, Colton contacted us by email and we had a phone call to go over final details before the wedding. At the wedding, we gave Colton pretty much full control over the music and when to do events like the bouquet and garter toss – he read the crowd perfectly and timed everything better than we could have done ourselves! Our dance floor was full the entire night; the music was perfect for the crowd (older music for the older crowd at the beginning of the night, and more recent music for the younger people as the night got late). We would absolutely recommend Colton to anyone looking for a great DJ who can keep up with a great crowd!                                

Morgan and Andrew 8/12/17 – Edina Country Club (Tyler Hylland)

Tyler was an amazing DJ, he was very professional and kept our wedding party going all night long! I would highly recommend him for your dj needs! Great job all around, my husband and I were very pleased!

Mary and Brian 8/12/17 – Blackberry Ridge Golf Course in Sartell (Justin Roff)

Book Instant Request NOW! We had Justin R. and our dance floor was packed all night long. He was so receptive to us and read the crowd perfectly. Very organized and helpful. We could not have had a better experience – I would give Instant Request 10 stars if I could!

Sheng and Brady 8/12/17 – St. Paul Academy and Summit School (Anthony DuBose)

I was attending a wedding fair and heard Anthony D. mixing, and I knew immediately I’ve found my wedding DJ! We met with Anthony about five weeks before the wedding to go over the order of events during the reception, the music playlist, and the kind of atmosphere and mood we wanted to exude. Anthony was professional, personable, attentive, and so easy to work with! He responded timely to emails and text messages. He was flexible with a last minute request to play a song earlier in the evening just for our two-year old flower girl. I honestly can’t say enough great things about Anthony! He is a phenomenal DJ! We loved him, and our guests all loved him! We still had guests on the dance floor after we’ve finished with the majority of the teardown and cleaning up for the night. My family and friends are already talking about whose wedding will be next so that we can hire him again!

Sydney and Connor 8/11/17 – Mayowood Stone Barn in Rochester (Zachary Bayerl)

Wow!! We were very very impressed with Zachary. I am going to be honest, we were very nervous going with a large company such as Instant Request for a DJ. We all know that if the DJ sucks at a wedding, it can ruin the entire mood. Our wedding coordinator, Cassie West, suggested we request Zachary because she had seem him at another wedding. We are so happy with both Instant Request and Zachary!! A year before the wedding I spoke to a representative of IR and told him certain things I would like, etc. to match me with a DJ because Zachary was not promised to us. During this long year we had time to update our “DJ planner” with requested songs, ceremony order, dislikes, and seriously so much more!! Two weeks prior to the wedding we got an email – we got Zachary! Still – I was nervous. The wedding was two weeks away and we have never spoken to or met this guy. Well, he called us a week prior to the wedding and asked every question you could possibly think of to make the day go smoothly. We used their service for both the ceremony and the reception and there was not a flaw in sight!! Zachary had people on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! I mean all night. I am not just saying this because it was our wedding, but NUMEROUS guests, including myself, told me how they had never seen such a busy dance floor (or such a fun one either!). Thank you Instant Request & Zachary!! Brides – book them if you want a flawless, stress free ceremony and reception 🙂

Sarah and Travis – City Center Hotel in Mankato (Zachary Bayerl)

Zach did such an amazing job at our wedding. He was absolutely kind, extremely fun, and overall awesome. Several people came up to me saying the music selection was awesome and the dance floor was so much fun! Also, when he worked with my husband and I beforehand he was so honest and personable. Zach is a great DJ!

Emily and Mario 8/5/17 – Inn at Shattuck St. Mary’s (DaVonte McClam)

I wanted to say many thanks (Grazie) for serving as the DJ at my son Mario’s wedding 8-5-17.  The company was recommended to me by my young co-workers at a school i called and checked this out and found it easy to work with as far as emails and playlists, etc.  You were spot-on with the crowd and they all enjoyed your dance instructions too.  You made it fun.  Music makes an event and it added to this one.  The flow was good as well and you offered a variety of music.  Anytime you need a recommendation, I would gladly write one.  Thanks again

Alisha and Brandon 8/4/17 – Day Block Event Center (Rick Ausland)

Thank you for DJing my daughter Alisha’s wedding on August 4th.  My family and friends had a fabulous time.  You contributed much to making this a magical night for Alisha and Brandon

Tricia and Lowell 7/29/17 – (Brandon Holland)

Thank you so much for the awesome DJ service on our wedding day! Our guests and us were truly impressed. Thanks also for agreeing to stay longer to entertain our guests.

Becky and Matt 7/29/17 – Radisson Blu at MOA (Jimmy Bogen)

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Radisson Blu-MOA and Jimmy Bogen was our DJ who provided music for the entire day/evening. Jimmy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!! He kept the music going and anticipated the likes and dislikes of our guests perfectly. I don’t think we could have made a better choice than to go with Instant Request for the wedding. From the day we all met at the bridal fair, we knew it was going to be spectacular and he was most helpful during the planning phase in July as the big day approached. He did not disappoint and kept the floor packed the entire night. We loved your enthusiasm and the fact that he also got on the dance floor to teach some of the dances. We still have people talking about about the playlist and his music selections and that goes to show you how skilled Jimmy is at his job. The day was truly memorable and everything about instant request was fantastic. Thank you to everyone at Instant Request for making our day one we will remember forever.

Yer and Vang 7/29/17 – Brothers Event Center (Bret Christiansen)

We had Bret C. as our DJ. He was super accommodating to us. I didn’t really get an opportunity to complete my online event planner but Bret helped make it easier on me to get the list of songs to him. He assured me that everything would go smoothly during the day of the wedding. He made sure to mix in a great amount of traditional Hmong music with the other songs. I know all of our guests was appreciative of this. Thanks for playing a huge role in my wedding and making sure all the music went well. I don’t have enough positive words to describe this experience. I would highly recommend Instant Request Entertainment.

Molly and Dane 7/28/17 – Gardens of Castle Rock (Justin Roff)

Dane and I wanted to thank you for the amazing job you did at our wedding back in July. Easily the best part of the day! Thanks for being super flexible with last minute changes.

Katie and Matt 7/28/17 – Machine Shop (Michael Majerowicz)

All we wanted was a party and that’s what we got! DJ Michael was awesome! We paid for the black tie option and it was worth the extra to meet with Mike and really talk through what we were looking for. A good DJ was important to us and we did a lot of research and we landed on Instant Request. Their system makes it easy to be as detailed or hands off as you want to be. They’re professional,kl detailed and made our wedding the best!

Staci and Logan 7/22/17 – Courtyard Marriot in Mankato (Joey Atkinson)

My wife and I had an absolute blast at our wedding. Part of that was because of Instant Request and our DJ, DJ Joey. Not only was Instant Request the most cost effective, Joey and Instant Request were easy to work with and made all of our requests happen. Joey also helped us with answering questions we still had with the reception. It was nice to get the professional opinion of someone that has done many weddings. I highly recommend Instant Request and if you get married in the Mankato area, ask for DJ Joey. You won’t regret it. Thank you!

Alicia and Devin 7/22/17 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (Tyler Hylland)

We were assigned Tyler to our wedding as our dj. We just wanted to let your
company know that he went above and beyond to Make are wedding amazing.
Asking if we needed anything. We highly recommend Tyler in further weddings.
Couldn’t ask for a better dj.

Emily and Lucas 7/22/17 – Private Residence (David James)

We had such a great experience with Instant Request. The online event planner was so easy to use and super detailed. Our DJ David J, really had a sense of our style well before the wedding. David was so personable and flexible. He really knows how to read a crowd and a couple’s style. He event helped move some chairs for us last minute 🙂 This company works hard to set you up with DJs that are a good fit for you and we definitely only have good things to say about David J!

Becky and Jeff 7/22/17 – Minneapolis Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

We ended up going with the Black Tie DJ package so that we could meet with the DJ’s and select the one that was the best match for my husband and I. We ended up choosing Charlie and we couldn’t be more happy. His personality was a great fit for us and our families. He was outgoing, yet didn’t dominate the microphone, he was organized yet flexible and he truly carried out all our wishes. He read the crowd really well and shortened/changed the songs accordingly. He even taught me and my friends how to wobble. The whole Instant Request team was so easy to work with and the online planning tool made things go smoothly! Highly recommend them!

Nicole and Taylor 7/15/17 – Courtyard Marriot in Mankato (Zachary Bayerl)

We want to thank you so much for DJing for our wedding reception! You did a great job keeping the night rolling and keeping everyone on the dance floor. Thank you for doing an amazing job!

Megan and Eddie 7/14/17 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Nate Anderson)

Nate was our DJ and we couldn’t be happier. He kept the dance floor rocking the whole night. Young and old, everyone commented on how much fun they had at the wedding. He didn’t even flinch when we threw him a last second curve-ball and asked him to play a traditional Lebanese dance. The whole experience was awesome and I would highly recommend Nate and Instant Request to anyone ! Thanks again, Nate!

Taylor and Justin 7/14/17 – Turtles 1890 Social Centre (Brandon Holland)

Brandon was our DJ.  I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty! So awesome! Great communication and gave me everything i asked for!

MaKayla and Rami 7/9/17 – Crow River Winery in Hutchinson (Justin Roff)

We had Justin and he did an amazing job. He was able to keep people on the dance floor and was absolutely fun.

Katie and Christopher 7/8/17 – Blackberry Ridge Golf Course in Sartell (Anthony DuBose)

What do people remember from your wedding day the food and the DJ! So getting a great DJ was important to us. We did our research and knew Instant Request was the DJ company for us. We did the Black Tie Package which is worth every penny. We got to meet with our DJ go through the wedding timeline with him and answer any questions. They give you a website so you are able to plan precisely every song for everything or you can leave it more open for the DJ to control. We got to pick our DJ and we picked ANTHONY D. He is the best! He was great at running the timeline of the reception. Great with accommodating a game into the clicking of the glasses. He played just the right music at the right time. He kept people on the dance floor ALL night. I have never been at a wedding that had as many people on the dance flood ALL night like our wedding. Everyone loved our DJ! We’ve gotten compliments ever since and have recommended him to everyone. If you want to have peace of mind on your wedding night, relax and enjoy the day you’ve been planning so hard for get Instant Request DJ onboard and ask for Anthony (although I know they have MANY great DJ’s)

Jenna and Mark 7/8/17 – Minneapolis Event Center (Charity Bess)

Instant Request gave us a fantastic DJ experience! The DJ was perfect for our venue and guests and was able to read the crowd to play music that kept everyone happy! Their online event planner was super helpful in organizing everything and giving options for different dances, events, and song requests! I highly recommend them for any event!

Cali and Nate 7/7/17 – Dellwood Barn (Brandon Holland)

Brandon was our DJ for our wedding on 7/7/2017. He was AMAZING and did an awesome job with everything. Our venue was probably a little more strict than others but he had no issues and had everyone on their feet dancing! I would recommend anyone and everyone to contact Instant Request DJ and also to request Brandon as their DJ!

Kaitlin and Luke 7/1/17 – Oak Ridge Hotel & Conference Center (Andrew Najafalipour)

Instant Request was absolutely phenomenal at our reception! Our DJ, Andrew, listened to what we wanted and then tailored what we asked for to fit our party perfectly! He did just an amazing job and we would recommend Andrew and Instant Request in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a DJ!

Robin and Michael 7/1/17 – Elm Creek Park Reserve Chalet (Tom Coughlin)

We are so glad you were there to support us on our wedding day! The ceremony went really well and our guests had a great time at the reception. Thank you for organizing everything and helping us along the way! I really loved every party of our big day

Miranda and Andrew 7/1/17 – University Club Downtown (Anthony DuBose)

Thank you so much for being such an amazing MC, making the music which was so important to Miranda and I, Perfect. From the initial meeting at Starbucks, to the custom cocktail hour playlist, our wedding was amazinhg and the music was a big part of it.  Thank you!

Jenna and Nate 6/24/17 – Sheraton Minneapolis West (Obi Okeke)

We LOVED Instant Request – they were such a great value for the money and very organized. We had another DJ lined up that backed out last minute and luckily they still had availability less than 3 months out from our wedding date. DJ Obi was so fun and really listened to what we wanted. My husband is a huge music person and that was probably the most important piece to him – getting the songs that we wanted to hear. Obi called and texted us to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. It was a party all night long and everyone complimented how much fun our reception was. We also added the lighting package which was a great value and way cheaper than anyone else we looked at!

Stephanie and Jared 6/24/17 – Town and Country Club (Justin Roff)

We had Justin as our DJ and he did a fabulous job! We gave him songs we liked as well as free rein to mix in what he felt would go well. The dance floor was packed all night!

Carolyn and Justin 6/24/17 – Burl Oaks Golf Club (Ayo Ojo)

DJ Ayo was our DJ for our June 24th wedding. He provided music for our ceremony and reception. I was a little nervous after our first phone call (it seemed as if he had perhaps forgotten about it!) but, all my worries melted away as the wedding day progressed. He arrived early for set-up and was able to confirm processional details with us for our ceremony. He also kept pretty well to the schedule we set. During our planning phone call, we had told DJ Ayo that we essentially wanted him to do his thing and give us a dance party to keep the dance floor full and that he was more than welcome to take song requests. He delivered. Our guests were out on the dance floor all night dancing away. And the few times that I requested that he play a few slower songs for the older crowd, those songs were the next in the queue. We were so very pleased with the service provided. Us and our guests were having so much fun out on the dance floor that we completely forgot about the bouquet toss and dollar dance (both of which my husband and I were a little wishy washy about doing to begin with). DJ Ayo was actually the one to bring it to our attention and at that point we just didn’t want to stop or break up the party for those events. No one seemed to miss them! We tired out our guests earlier than we thought we would and most left around 11pm or so. We were so sad to have to cut the music early but, didn’t see any reason to keep going if everyone else was gone and we were starting to clean up. Anyway, thank you so much DJ Ayo! You helped make our wedding day absolutely wonderful!

Julia and AJ 6/17/17 – Windows on MN (Justin Roff)

We just wanted to reach out and say that we were very happy with Justin as both the MC and DJ at our wedding on 6/17/17. He communicated well before and during the wedding and helped to keep things moving along. He had great music selection and kept the dancing lively and energetic.
We would hire Justin again in a heartbeat!

Whitney and Jon 6/16/17 – Plymouth Creek Center (Brandon Holland)

Our experience was hands down the best with instant request. The online tool to plan details for the big day was easy to use and helped us to plan as little or much as we wanted to. I’m not sure without the tool we would have remembered all the details that made our event unique! Our DJ ( Brandon) was outgoing and helped to ammomodate our guests requests, but also play songs that were meaningful to us as a couple. He instantly made us feel at ease and that we were in good hands. We are super thankful we chose Instant Request!

Heather and Dan 6/10/17 – McNamara Alumni Center (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie was just the type of DJ our wedding reception needed! He played music to get people on the dance floor when the evening began and kept everyone up and moving. He was even out on the floor doing some of the line dances! (cha-cha slide, electric slide, etc). The entire planning process was simple and Charlie made everything worry free on the day of the wedding. We provided him with a itinerary for the reception and he would still check in with us just to make sure everything was on schedule and reminded us to take our time if we weren’t quite ready for something.

Sierra and Alan 6/10/17 – Minnesota Boat Club @ Raspberry Island (Jimmy Chien)

Instant Request was responsive and accommodating from day one. Matt and Nate were always very prompt in answering my many questions, and the on-line planner was very easy to use. I was a little nervous about not meeting our DJ in person prior to the wedding, but in retrospect it really would have been unnecessary. DJ: Our DJ, Jimmy Chien, was excellent. He went through our entire on-line planner with us in very detail weeks before the wedding and was able to accommodate us with our last minute adjustments days prior to the wedding. He was professional and played songs that our guests really enjoyed. Other: we also had uplighting, photo slideshow projector/screen, and ceremony microphone/speakers through Instant Request. Everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend Instant Request as well as DJ Jimmy Chien

 

Claire and Nick 6/10/17 – Hazeltine Golf Club (Anthony DuBose) 

Wow! I don’t have enough words to explain how amazing Anthony D. and Instant Request are! They were easy to work with and their online event manager was perfect! Anthony is hands down the best DJ ever!! Our first dance, FOB dance and MOG dance were not typical songs, and Anthony was so accommodating to make sure he had the correct versions. We wanted our grand entrance song to start at a specific point in the song and he made it happen. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and he was actively DJing all night, not just a playlist. He incorporated requests perfectly, MC’d the evening so well and was flexible and accommodating all night. We have gotten so many compliments about how fun our wedding was and how amazing the music was. Seriously, the dance floor was packed until the last song, and so much fun! The best decision we made was choosing Instant Request and Anthony D!

 

Andrea and Justin 6/3/17 – Hilton Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport Mall of America (Rick Ausland)

Rick and Instant Request were fantastic to work with! The entertainment and music were great and the dance floor was packed the entire night! We would highly recommend Rick A!

Heidi and Kyle 5/28/17 – Majestic Oaks Golf Club (Jimmy Bogen)

 Thank you so much for attending our wedding and making the party last all night!  You were always on top of things and your energy level kept everyone on the dance floor.  Our wedding would not have been so much fun without you

Jessica and Dane 5/27/17 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Brandon Holland)

We wanted to thank you for doing such an amazing job at our wedding celebration!  Everyone had such a good time and that was at most part because of you.  The music was great and more importantly your energy and fun personality was very contagious, which made for the perfect day!  Thanks again!!  

Christiane and Tyler 5/27/17 – McNamara Alumni Center (Zach Bayerl)

Our DJ Zachary was amazing!  He went off of the vibe of our guests very well and did an excellent job of keeping the night fun and upbeat!  He had our dance floor packed!!  Cannot say enough nice things about him, we highly recommend him!

Nicole and David 5/27/17 – White Bear Yacht Club (Ben Nordquist)

Ben N. was our DJ, and he was absolutely phenomenal. Everything that could have gone wrong, just didn’t. For example, I could hear as the bridesmaids and groomsmen were walking down the aisle that the processional song we chose was too short and would end before everyone made it. But Ben just found a spot at the end of the song and looped the instrumental until the whole bridal party was done. The instrumental was beautiful and the loop was seamless. At dinner, Ben hooked up a recording of my grandfather to the speakers so everyone could hear him give a blessing all the way from California. There were so many tears in the room :). My dad commented that he loved that Ben came up to everyone giving speeches and gave them a run-down of where to stand and when to go, so the speeches went perfectly as well. Last but definitely not least, the music on the dance floor all night was AMAZING. The man really has a way with crowds, and everyone loved it. Thank you Ben and Instant Request for the best service we could have possibly imagined for our wedding!!!

Cari and Joseph 5/27/17 – Mystic Lake Casino and Hotel (Ricardo Barrett)

Cari and I just wanted to contact you to let you know what a fantastic job Ricardo did at our wedding reception. By the layout of the Grand Ballroom at Mystic, he was front-and-center with the tables all around so pretty much nobody could miss him…LOL. He handled the event from start-to-finish with class, fun, and lots of energy! We met him before and went over the entire list of the day’s events and songs (and he even came up with a song for my wife and son to dance to because we ended up forgetting that detail). And the lighting meshed so well with what Mystic had! Ricardo was the perfect addition to the group we had; the songs he played, both by his choice and request, kept people going all night! We can’t thank you enough for all of your help and suggestions throughout the planning process and for having Ricardo work our event. We certainly will recommend him and Instant Request to anyone looking for a DJ!

 

Kerri and Mitch 5/20/17 – Creekside Farm Weddings & Events (Andy McClure)

Thank you so much for being the most awesome DJ at our wedding!  We are so thankful for all that you did for our big day! Thank you for the very sweet card you left us as well

Abby and Joe 5/20/17 – Larson Barn in River Falls, WI (Grahame Beresford)

All of our interactions with Instant Request were pleasant in planning for our wedding, and the actual reception went so well, all for a very reasonable price! The office always replied promptly to our enquiries via email, the event planner was very easy to use, the phone consultation was extremely useful and calming as we knew things were in good hands. Grahame, our DJ, did a great job emceeing and accommodating every last change and request. He was a great balance of fun and professional. Definitely glad we went with them, especially for the money, and would recommend them to anyone! – Jessica and John 10/15/16

 

Alicia and Jay 5/6/17 – Chaska Event Center (Zach Bayerl)

Working with instant request was amazing! Anytime I had questions Matt was there to answer them… he first helped me getting a wedding timeline because I had to clue where to start then he also made sure I was going to have our first dance song because it was a very uncommon song and Instant Request came through! Zachary was our DJ and he was amazing. He was exactly what our wedding needed! He even got out on the dance floor to guide some guests in the cha cha slide!! Also, using their wedding planner was perfect. It was a little over-whelming at first but it was totally worth it! We were able to pick exactly what songs we wanted for what and even create a do not play list. Overall Instant Request was great and I would highly recommend them!

Danielle and Eric 5/6/17 – Holiday Inn and Suites in Lakeville (David James)

David James was our DJ at our reception and he was sensational! We were very nervous when it came to having the right DJ for our wedding because they set the tone for your reception. We got off the phone with David and we very excited. That night David ran the show when it came to all of the events like the grand march, speeches, cake cutting, etc. His music selection was top notch and kept the party going till 1am when the venue had to shutdown. We would highly suggest instant request and our DJ David James, he was the very best!!!

Karen and Lee 4/8/17 – Studio 1414 (Nate Anderson)

Since it’s the season to express thanksgiving, we wanted to formally thank you! It was this time last year we were deep into our planning. Your online tool and our meeting set us up for success and gave us the confidence to go worry free into the day. We are so grateful you were a party of our day and truly made it what it was, so very perfect! Our day is now a memory but one we will remember and cherish forever! Happy Holidays!

Rachael and Paul 4/8/17 – Lafayette Club (Tyler Hylland)

Tyler did an amazing job and kept the dance floor busy all night, he even played a couple of other songs at the end of the night, while he downloaded the last song we requested him to play. Additionally, Tyler kept the flow of the dinner reception going wonderfully and kept all speeches on time and followed our timeline perfectly. I liked how easy the process was of creating my contract with you, making payments, and ultimately the DJ you matched me with based on my selection of music – the match was spot on!

 

Devin and Johnathan 4/1/17 – Millennium Hotel (Ben Nordquist)

Ben was amazing, multiple times through out the night people would come up to us to say the DJ was “killing it”. Ben was great to work with and seemed genuinely happy to be there, could not have had a better DJ!

Kassi and Kyle 4/22/17 – Holiday Inn in Maple Grove (Tyler Hylland)

Tyler was great to work with. He was a great fit for our style. He checked in with us throughout the night to ensure that the night was going well for us and everyone else. He took our song list and added to it with good requests from the guests. He had the right mix of music for the different times of the night and kept people on the dance floor.

Geri and John 3/25/17 – Marriott Minneapolis Northwest (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was the DJ for our wedding dance on Saturday, 3/25/2017. He was awesome right from the start…..planning and then executing a very smooth and entertaining dance. Our guests continually asked us where we found the DJ and commented on how great the music was and how he kept the evening moving. Anthony was very easy to work with, very helpful, and obviously an experienced professional. We have nothing but good things to say about Instant Request and about Anthony. Awesome job!

Jordan and Matt 3/18/17 – Doubletree Downtown in Rochester

Jimmy was fantastic and was exactly what we were hoping for in a DJ. He kept the party going all night long, adjusted the music and schedule based on the audience and always checked with us if he received requests to veer off our suggested schedule. We’ve received tons of compliments about the great music on our dance! From start to finish we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.  The online event planner made the planning portion so much easier, that was super helpful. I also really liked the song recommendations for each part of the day, that helped a lot in narrowing the options down and getting a good feel for the different song options. DJ Jimmy was also so awesome. He went with the flow and really added the perfect music for the whole day. He kept the party going and everyone had a great time. Can’t say enough great things about him!

 

Kelly and Jesse 4/21/17 – Bunker Hills Golf Club (Ben Nordquist)

Ben was awesome, very energetic and personable. He definitely knew how to keep the crowd dancing and that is exactly what our family and friends like to do. It was helpful that he touched base with us multiple times throughout the day and kept everyone in the loop and on schedule. We haven’t been a part of a wedding where the DJ was so involved and helpful. It was greatly appreciated! The best part was that he kept us in mind, even until the last song. Which made the dance the best part of the reception We really appreciated that Ben called beforehand to go over our song choices and the outline of the wedding/reception with us. It made things way easier and stress free knowing we were on the same page going into the day. Since the wedding we have gotten a flood of positive comments about the wedding, especially the dance, from our guests. We have a few friends and family getting married in the near future and we know that he would be at the top of their list after the show he put on at our wedding. Thanks Ben!

Catherine and Colin 3/4/17 – Plymouth Creek Center (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie was just the type of DJ our wedding reception needed! He played music to get people on the dance floor when the evening began and kept everyone up and moving. He was even out on the floor doing some of the line dances! (cha-cha slide, electric slide, etc). The entire planning process was simple and Charlie made everything worry free on the day of the wedding. We provided him with a itinerary for the reception and he would still check in with us just to make sure everything was on schedule and reminded us to take our time if we weren’t quite ready for something.

Melissa and Brad 2/25/17 – Minneapolis Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

We were very happy with Anthony and could not have asked for a better DJ. He kept the party going the entire night and we received so many compliments from our guests on what a great job he did. He ended the night with the Alabama fight song when he heard my husband and his relatives were from Alabama and huge football fans. It was the perfect way to end an amazing day!

 

Anne and Kyle 2/17/17 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (Charlie DuBois)

We really enjoyed working with Instant Request for our wedding. The website was easy to navigate, and DJ Charles did a great job keeping our guests dancing all night. Charles played the ceremony music as well, and the timing of each song was perfect. I would definitely recommend Instant Request!

Kali and Daniel 2/11/17 – Morristown Community Center (Michael Majerowicz)

We had our wedding reception on February 11th and we had DJ Milk for our DJ. he was absolutely amazing and was more than we could have asked for! He kept people on the dance floor all night and played all of the music we wanted! He made our reception 10 times better than what we could have expected! I also had tons of people ask who he was and I definitely recommended him to everyone! Thanks again Instant Request for everything during the planning of our reception and DJ milk for the awesome party!

 

Erin and Derek 1/28/17 – Lafayette Club (Jimmy Bogen)

Instant Request was very helpful and responded quickly to questions and Jimmy was a wonderful DJ for our wedding.

Marlo and Mike 1/21/17 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was absolutely amazing! He was great to work with and read the crowd very well!  Everyone at my wedding commented on how great he was!  

TCI Business Capital 1/21/17 – Hyatt Regency Bloomington (Justin Roff)

 Wanted to let you know what an AMAZING time TCI had at our Havana Nights themed company holiday party this past Saturday 01/21/17. The lighting looked great, Justin our DJ took the time to set up a speaker in our bar area so there was music throughout our venue. His choices of Latin music to play during happy hour and dinner were on point and were the subject of high praise from the Latin Dance performers we had hired as the evening’s entertainment. Once the dancing began Justin did an excellent job of reading the crowd and getting people back onto the dance floor and engaged with group pictures, a limbo contest and managing requests.  The music was upbeat, inviting and throwing in some older tunes kept upper management on the floor. We had several party crashers from the party next door and they told me several times our DJ was better than theirs. I have heard nothing but compliments this week in regards to Justin and the music selection provided, and most have said it was one of the most fun parties we have had to date. Thank you very much for sharing in the experience with us  

Katelyn and Colin 1/14/17 – Great Hall (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi was absolutely fantastic. I had so many compliments from my guests at how great of a DJ he was. I even had some DJ’s in the crowd and they were extremely impressed with his style. The whole evening was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Bengi was so easy and fun to work with. I would request him in a heart beat. Everything went so smoothly, he was very professional, and got everything done in such a timely manor.

Waverly and Jordan 1/7/17 – Oak Ridge Hotel & Conference Center (Alex Knight)

Kudos to Alex Knight, he did an awesome job of taking our suggestions/personalities and reading the room to put together a really fun night. Can’t talk this guy up enough, we got so many compliments from guests on the music selection/flow. It was such a non-hassle! Our DJ was super easy to work with, initiated a lot of the planning work, took care of things I didn’t know we should be worrying about, and made the night really fun and easy.

Brie and Alex 12/31/16 – Walker Art Center (Kailen Nelson)

Our DJ, Kailen, was absolutely amazing. We met with him before the wedding (part of the black tie package) and he was very friendly, professional, and picked up on what we wanted immediately. There was also a tricky family situation that he handled graciously at our meeting and perfectly on the day of our wedding. All of our guests commented on what a good DJ he was- ours was the only wedding they had been to where the dance floor was full all night long and it spoke to Kailen’s talent and ability to read the crowd. We had a long NYE wedding and danced past midnight – and at the end of the night we had a few guests breakdance and Kailen joined in for a few seconds (total surprise that was AMAZING and so much fun- it was right for our crowd but he’s so good at reading crowds that I’m sure it was a crowd specific move. We and our guests loved it). We felt that instant request was affordable and easy to use with their online planner and Kailen made our NYE party perfect. 

Megan and Sam 12/31/16 – Minnesota Valley Country Club (David James)

Thanks for your note. Instant request was more than helpful and accommodating. Your website is incredibly user-friendly. We spent a lot of time filling in all of the details and planning our custom list. The website has really thought of everything, and anything you didn’t think of could be covered in the notes section. Thank you for accommodating our “poor man’s karaoke” portion of our reception. It was a huge hit. You made it really easy for us. Another win – David Allison was incredible. He was very easy to work with over the phone and amped our new year’s wedding to the next level. It was an incredible night and he was a great fit for us. We have been to other weddings using Instant Request where we didn’t feel that the DJ’s worked for the crowd, but David really went above and beyond. He was also incredibly friendly and accommodating.  Honestly, everything about your service exceeded our expectations. We were thrilled and would gladly recommend you to others. Thanks again!

Erin and Chris 12/31/16 – Marriott Minneapolis Northwest (Eric Malmberg)

We had Eric M (Black Tie DJ) perform the DJ of our wedding on NYE. He was excellent. He has been DJ’ing for like 10+ years, and could read the crowd very well. We requested that he play the anniversary song for all the married couples. He did. We had a Google Hangout (video chat) before our wedding and discussed overall flow and discussed our wedding playlist profile that Instant Request has you make that has EVERY DETAIL embedded into. Overall, Eric was amazing. Music makes the wedding fun. Our dance floor was packed. Eric was worth way more than the amount that instant request charges (I think we paid $1,050 for him, but his professionalism/demeanor/experience was worth $1,500). Would recommend Eric M to anyone who wants a DJ they can trust won’t play a “Dance Floor Killer” song as Eric described it. Super funny guy! Thanks again Eric!

Sarah and Cliff 12/16/16 – Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel (Zach Bayerl)

Our DJ Zachary was amazing!  He went off of the vibe of our guests very well and did an excellent job of keeping the night fun and upbeat!  He had our dance floor packed!!  Cannot say enough nice things about him, we highly recommend him!

Jessica and Joey 12/10/16 – North Metro Event Center (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi was AWESOME! Our guests have been raving about what a great job he did. Instant Requests online event planner was so helpful when putting together the reception. Definitely would recommend anyone requesting Bengi to DJ their event!

Sammy and Cortlan 12/10/16 – 912 Regency Paza in St. Cloud (Jimmy Bogen)

Instant Request is hands down one of the best D.J services in the state. Their D.J’s are well experienced and give great customer service at an affordable price. Music & entertainment can make or break an event, & Instant Request definitely made our wedding so fun & enjoyable for all our guests. As we got closer to our big day music was the last thing on my mind so, I relied on our D.J a lot to read the crowd & do what he does best & he didn’t disappoint. I got married in December & they were the only vendor we worked with that gave us a discount because we were getting married during the slower wedding season. They also travel all throughout the state & don’t charge a lot to do so (I can’t say this about all vendors that I researched). There are so many D.J services out there, you could be researching for days, so make it easy on yourself and go with Instant Request Entertainment, you really can’t go wrong.

Alyssa and Collin 12/10/16 – Millennium Hotel (Rick Ausland)

Rick was awesome! I felt that he helped move the night along according to the timeline we discussed. All announcements were great and all lighting/sound was just what we wanted.

Kim and Bradley 12/9/16 – James J Hill Reference Library (Jimmy Bogen)

Instant Request is an excellent vendor that comes at a very reasonable price. We had our entire event in one location so we hired Instant Request to handle the music for everything: our wedding ceremony (pre-wedding music started at 4:30 pm), cocktail hour, dinner hour (including playing a DVD slideshow on a large screen), and the dance which went until 12:00 am. Before the wedding, they provide an online event planner that helps you to plan every aspect of the music for your event – from ceremony to first dance to whether you want the “Chicken Dance” played (no thanks :-). The planner also has every song on the planet to browse and listen to and there are suggestions provided as well. Jimmy B. was our DJ and he was awesome. We paid $150 extra for the “black tie” service which included hand-picking our DJ and meeting him in person. Upon meeting Jimmy, we were put at complete ease because it was clear that he was competent and capable and had a wide range of knowledge regarding the different music genres. He not only looked like a professional DJ, he sounded like a real radio personality in his tone, inflection and confidence at the mic. We would without a doubt recommend Instant Request and DJ Jimmy B.  

Alyssa and Collin 12/5/2015 – Millennium Hotel (Rick Ausland)

Rick was awesome! I felt that he helped move the night along according to the timeline we discussed. All announcements were great and all lighting/sound was just what we wanted.

Jennifer and Michael 12/3/16 – Lowertown Event Center (Eric Malmberg)

Eric was a great fit for us; he was excellent at reading our subtle cues on the day of before even meeting us (like when the first dance should end); he came and introduced himself; followed the planner perfectly; was friendly and easy to get along; very professional and well-organized during our phone meeting prior to wedding

Brittany and Paul 12/3/16 – Great Hall (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi was perfect! He was so professional and so much fun. I couldn’t be more happy with how well it turned out. I would recommend instant request to anyone!

Gretchen and Tyson 12/3/16 – Lumber Exchange Building (Jimmy Bogen)

We thought the entire end to end process was smooth. Jimmy was really great, honestly he was awesome…easy to work with, got our individual style and was good about keeping the pace of things…it was perfect. Pricing was well aligned and we’d be happy to recommend you. Thanks for being one of the easiest vendors, if not the most easiest, that we worked with during this hellacious process of gettin’ hitched! 🙂

Andrea and Ryan 11/19/16 – Vadnais Heights Commons (Brandon Holland)

We had Brandon as our DJ. He was easy to communicate with, the wedding event planner feature was helpful in planning the ceremony and the dancing was lit. Would highly recommend.  

Katie and Bogan 11/12/16 – Silverwood Park Visitor Center (Anthony DuBose)

Absolutely! Anthony was amazing, he was was very helpful when we met with him one on one before the wedding and was able to walk us through how the evening was going to go. Everyone was dancing all night until the very end of the wedding and the energy was FANTASTIC! He was the best and will be recommending him to all my friends who are looking for a wedding DJ! Thank you so much Anthony!    

Christina and Erik 11/5/16 – Lafayette Club (Bengi Durgunoglu)

We really liked how there was never a break in music.  One song flowed to the next.  Bengi spent very little time on the mic himself making announcements or encouraging people to dance. The music he played matched exactly our playlist and what we wanted

Morgan and Erik 11/5/16 – Horse and Hunt Club (Andy McClure)

I am the father of the bride and I am happy to give you my perspective…… The experience was AWESOME! I was the person who first approached IR and received a quote for your services. The upfront processes worked great and I feel the services were reasonably priced. I asked for and received an, adder to cover music/mic for the ceremony and the revised price was very affordable. On the day of the wedding, the DJ (Andy M) was timely and stealth in setting up the equipment. He had things to set-up outside for the ceremony and inside for the reception. A lot of coordination. All went well. He even helped with timing for announcements and getting people to “flow” with the schedule. Again, all was VERY professional through the ceremony and dinner. At dinner, we commented that the guests were pretty diverse in age, geographic background and music interests. We though it might be a challenge to get/keep people on the dance floor. That thought couldn’t have been more wrong! From the time the bride/groom had their first dance until 11:30PM (the last dance), the dance floor was FULL! Not kidding – not one song was played that no one danced to! We even had an 85 year old grandmother on the dance floor dancing. From traditional wedding music, to C&W, to MoTown, to Funk and soft rock, the flow/transition was great! We even had two special birthdays that Andy announced and made people aware of in an exceptionally cool manner! We received multiple compliments from our guests about how FUN the dance was to attend! My daughter (the bride) and the groom used the online planning features and spoke with the DJ prior to the event so I don’t know how that went. That said, it must have gone well as the entire event was a huge SUCCESS!!! Thank YOU!

Megan and Matt 11/5/16 – Grand View Lodge in Nisswa (Alex Knight)

Alex from Instant Request was awesome on our wedding night! We spoke ahead of time about how the night would play out which helped ease any stress about timing and he played both special request songs I requested out of their library, along with the others I put on my playlist from their library. We had such a great night dancing and partying – thank you so much for being great!!

Geeta and Charles 11/4/16 – Solar Arts Building (Justin Roff)

Justin was amazing to work with.  He did such a good of informing us of the process and taking over during reception and was so helpful through out the evening.  I was so grateful how engaging he was with the our guests and helping my niece as she prepared to sing.  All of Justin’s suggestions and choices were spot on!

Kari and Matt 10/29/16 – Muse Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was amazing! The dance floor was packed the entire time, and that’s what we wanted!  Anthony rocked! He did his job, but was never to be the center of attention.  

Emily and Jeremy 10/29/16 – Aria (Rick Ausland)

Shawn and team were so great to work with. I used them for DJ, ceremony sound equipment, uplighting and pin spots. Their Black Tie upgrade is well worth it and all of my guests spent the night living it up on the dance floor. Rick had lots of suggestions and helped through the planning from grand entrance to last song of the night. Thanks so much! 

Holly and Chris 10/22/16 – Cannon River Winery (Tyler Hylland)

Tyler was great to work with.  He was a great fit for our style.  He checked in with us throughout the night to ensure that the night was going well for us and everyone else.  He took our song list and added to it with good requests from the guests.  He had the right mix of music for the different times of the night and kept people on the dance floor.

Rebecca and Blake 10/22/16 – BayView Event Center (Ryan Weber)

We absolutely LOVED your service! The event planner online was fantastic and so easy to use. Ryan Weber got back to us in a very timely fashion! He handled all the song requests at our reception very well and we were so pleased with how he mixed all the types of music together! I would highly recommend this company to other couples that are getting married!

Brittany and Michael 10/22/16 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

Instant Request was extremely friendly and timely. I couldn’t believe how fast someone always got back to me!  Charlie was perfect. I think he really listened to what we wanted and combined the perfect amount of fun and getting the crowd engaged without being at all “too much.” It was also great that he took the time to meet with us for a half hour a couple weeks before our wedding. Charlie was professional and yet fun. Communication was timely and excellent. I never had any doubts about the DJ doing a good job but also had fun working with you. We did a lot of research and we thought your pricing was right in the middle. But your service was top notch

Annie and Zach 10/22/16 – Minikahda Club (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Loved that Bengi kept the dance floor full all night long. This was so important to Zach and I and he ensured the music kept the fun going!

Ashley and Devin 10/22/16 – Hidden Meadow and Barn (Andy McClure)

Andy did an amazing job and was very involved in the weeks leading up to the wedding. He asked many questions to get a feel for our particular taste and learned our schedule so that he was never confused as to what was supposed to be going on. I really liked the online event planner with all the other planning I was doing that took time consuming phone calls to do it made it easy for me to make changes and look over everything with ease. I would say that we were definitely pleased with our dj and I couldn’t imagine it going as well with anyone else. The music all sounded wonderful regardless of the insanely old ipod I gave him to play off of, I wasn’t really interested in the lights so he did his own thing and I was pleasantly surprised by the turnout. I think the best thing was that he was very easy to talk to and helpful in the whole process. I would definitely recommend instant request to anyone looking for good music at a very reasonable price and I thank you for making our big day as perfect as I could only dream.  

Katie and Adam 10/22/16 – Bearpath Golf and Country Club (Eric Malmberg)

Eric exceeded our expectations. His professional yet laid back/relax style was perfect for our wedding. He was great at speaking when we needed him to and prepping the guests for dinner, dancing and everything between. He had a great playlist for the wedding and kept people on the dance floor all night! I’d highly recommend him to others.   

Katy and David 10/22/16 – Plymouth Creek Center (Bret Christiansen)

Bret Christiansen was a wonderful DJ for our wedding at the Plymouth Creek Center!  He was attentive to our needs and to what the guests were itching to dance to.  He has a fun, upbeat personality that resonated throughout the night and kept the party going!  Instant Request was really easy to work with, and we would recommend it to anyone!

 

Jessica and Bill 10/21/16 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was incredible. He listened to our needs and was able to read our crowd; the dance floor was packed the whole night! Just what we wanted!  We really enjoyed the online event planner and meeting with Jimmy. After using the online event planner and meeting with Jimmy we felt confidant all our needs would be met and our day would be amazing! Additionally, all communication was fast and efficient.  This was Jimmy’s third wedding in our family!

Megan and Tom 10/16/16 – Leopold’s Mississippi Gardens (Alex Knight)

All of our interactions with Instant Request were pleasant in planning for our wedding, and the actual reception went so well, all for a very reasonable price! The office always replied promptly to our enquiries via email, the event planner was very easy to use, the phone consultation was extremely useful and calming as we knew things were in good hands. Alex, our DJ, did a great job emceeing and accommodating every last change and request. He was a great balance of fun and professional. Definitely glad we went with them, especially for the money, and would recommend them to anyone!    

Mel and Patrick 10/15/16 – Gale Woods Farm (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was AWESOME, there was not a single moment when there were not people on the dance floor, he created such a fun and inviting atmosphere and we had many people tell us during the night how much they enjoyed the music.  We needed a set up for our ceremony which was outside and we needed a 425 ft power cord to run from the building to the ceremony site and it was provided to us without a problem at all. Anthony set up and took it down as well which was wonderful. The fact that Anthony was enjoying himself and really loves his job was such a blessing, he was involved and he wasn’t just there to play song after song, he read the crowd and had a great mix of all types of music from oldies, to country to rap. Every time I looked over at him he was dancing and smiling and I really think that added to our reception.  You get what you pay for and I believe that having Anthony/ Instant Request as a part of our wedding day was worth every penny. It was so comforting to know that I was working with professionals with many years of industry experience  

Courtney and Ben 10/15/16 – Minneapolis Golf Club (David James)

David, our DJ, was absolutely phenomenal. He was a very professional and organized person. His style fit perfectly with ours and I’m extremely happy with what he offered.  The music was played at just the right volume and the lights were a nice touch.  I liked that David took time to go over the entire evening with me on the phone prior to the event. Him getting a feeling for what we were expecting made us at ease. With all of the things that can stress people out during a wedding, it was nice not having to worry about the quality of performance he was going to give us.  I honestly don’t think we could’ve done without the online event planner. At first it seems like a bit much, but after you see how much it helps the DJ as well as the couple throughout the night, we would’ve been making a mistake to not take advantage of it. I would definitely recommended Instant Request to others.

Ashley and Stephen 10/14/16 – Semple Mansion (Alex Knight)

I have nothing but good things to say about Instant Request. I booked them a full year and a half prior to our date and was recommended to them by others who had received great service from Alex Knight. One of my favorite things about them is their online event planner. It allows you to make a custom playlist (which we did), choose genres of music and songs you like/dislike, and input all of the important details they will need to know. As someone who had specific plans for music, the event planner was extremely efficient and helpful and it made me feel like I was in good hands. We also got to meet with our DJ Alex before the wedding to verify all details in the planner and touch base. As for day-of, I have nothing but positive things to say. Alex helped coordinate speeches, made announcements, checked with us about things during the event, and of course played great music. He was there until the end and the dance party was fabulous! Thank you again, Instant Request and Alex!  

Lisa and Matt 10/8/16 – Minnesota Boat Club @ Raspberry Island (Erik Lehmkuhl)

Your company provided the music and other sound services for our reception on Saturday at Raspberry Island. I know we had talked Friday night about the switch from Josh to Eric. We both wanted you to know that Eric KICKED ASS! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Any issues that came up he addressed and had an answer for. Not to mention that he kept the dance floor packed all night. You truly have a great professional working for you!

Brittany and Kyle 10/8/16 – Minneapolis Event Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was AMAZING. Seriously. I can’t compliment him enough! He understood the vibe we wanted from the very beginning of our in-person meeting, and far exceeded our expectations. I’ve had so many of our guests come up to me after the wedding and tell me that Jimmy did an incredible job. It was high-energy from start to finish and the dance floor was consistently packed. In my opinion, you can’t ask for much more. He responded so well to requests as well as the mood of the audience. Honestly, I could go on and on. Jimmy, you are simply the best!!

Samantha and John 10/8/16 – Lafayette Club (Nate Anderson)

100% rating for our experience.  Can’t imagine having a better experience than having Instant Request run our entertainment at our reception!  The staff we worked with made everything very easy. The event planner was fun and we were able to slot music for every stage of the day before even meeting with our DJ. We had the best experience with our DJ.  The guests were commenting on how good the music and energy was throughout the night and even a week later!  He kept everyone on the dancefloor. There were no sound issues and lighting was elegant (champagne) for dinner and turned fun/party themed (violet) when the dance party started.  Nate clearly had a ton of experience and knew how to read the room to get all guests on the dance floor early and keep them there all night.  Even after our grand exit our guests went straight back to keep the party going!  That is the sign of a great DJ! We have already recommended Instant Request to some friends getting married next year! It was a great value!  Honestly some of the best money we spent on the wedding!  

Magdalene and Charles 10/2/16 – Como Park Visitor Center (Justin Roff)

Justin, was so flexible about incorporating my husband’s country’s national pop music and it was the highlight of the night for us to be able to dance to that music the night of our wedding with our friends who danced with us for two years while we all lived together there. Aside from incorporating Tanzanian music into the set flawlessly, he chose great American songs that got all ages onto the dance floor at the same time, and knew songs that kept everyone pumped up all night. Justin was always concerned with incorporating all of our songs and ideas and wishes- he wasn’t prideful or arrogant or stubborn about insisting on certain ideas, but he offered really helpful insights while we were setting up the schedule and playlists for the night. All of his advice worked out perfectly and we still felt completely supported in our wishes.    The other thing I really loved was the dinner music, which Justin curated perfectly. I asked for 40’s-60’s vocalists and the vibe was so romantic and relaxed and enchanting. I didn’t even really ask for any particular songs but he made that segment of the evening feel so romantic and sweet.    

Magan and Kyle 10/1/16 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (Andy McClure)

Adam was wonderful!  Kept folks on the dancefloor all night long!  We received great feedback about how much our guests loved him!  He also kept to all of my requests and do-not-play list, which I very much appreciated! 

Anna and Nathan 10/1/16 – Minnesota Valley Country Club (Randy Grubba)

 Randy G was the DJ for our wedding reception and we were very happy with his services. Randy did an excellent job of making announcements (cake cutting) on schedule and of watching for our cues to turn down the dinner music for speeches. He also pronounced everyone’s names correctly for the Grand March, which made me happy (we had some tough ones). During the dance, Randy was attentive to our requests and did a great job filling in with additional music that matched our tastes. There were many children in attendance, so we requested that the kid-friendly songs (Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance, etc) be played early in the night. Randy took care of this and the kids had a blast! We were really pleased with how the evening played out and have nothing but praise for Randy and Instant Request.

 

Melissa and Ryan 9/25/16 – Lowertown Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was the absolute BEST DJ! We first met Anthony at a family wedding and the dance floor was packed the entire night, so we knew we had to go with him for our own wedding as well. He was so great to work with leading up to the wedding and had all kinds of song suggestions when we needed it, especially for the ceremony. I knew I didn’t have to stress with him as our DJ because he is very organized and kept things on schedule. On our wedding night the dance floor was full all night long and everyone kept telling us how much fun they had dancing. I couldn’t be happier with our experience.

Angela and Brent 9/24/16 – Coon Rapids Civic Center (Scott Sitron)

Scott our DJ was wonderful. He did are really amazing job at reading the crowd and changing up the music if needed to keep the dance floor full of family and friends. He really made our reception a blast.

Sarah and Jim 9/24/16 – Minnesota Boat Club @ Raspberry Island (Jimmy Chien)

I normally am not the type of person to post reviews, however i Have to say that Jimmy was a fantastic DJ.  Admittedly, we didn’t think as much as we should have about the music and Jimmy was extremely flexible, helpful, and professional through it all.  I will definitely recommend Instant Request to anyone who is looking!

Ashley and Michael 9/24/16 – Commons Hotel (Bret Christiansen)

We worked with Bret for our wedding and he was awesome! After filling out our online planner, I chatted with Bret to go over a few details. He was extremely professional, easy-going and fun! He had everyone on the dance floor throughout the night.  

Chad and Brett 9/24/16 – Tilia (Jimmy Bogen)

Our wedding DJ (Jimmy) was fantastic, people were dancing from the time the music started to the time it stopped! Everyone we communicated with was great- very helpful, professional, quick response. They helped make our big day as amazing as it was! I would highly recommend working with them!  

Rachel and Chris 9/24/16 – Courtyards of Andover (Justin Roff)

OMG, where do we start with Justin? He was AMAZING.  He felt like one of the family by the end of the night. He checked in with us whenever he had a question, he made sure we kept things moving along, he thought of EVERY little detail and made sure our night was perfect.  He was amazing at getting people involved and had the longest conga line going that we’ve ever seen – there were maybe 6 people sitting at the tables (out of 180) and a couple of those weren’t of the age where they could participate – the others were just lazy, there’s no excuse for them.  He made sure the music was always the right volumes, he made sure that the music during the ceremony looped when needed (we totally underestimated the amount of time needed for the dozens of grandparents to walk down the aisle, and he was a master with the equipment.    Justin did a great job with the lighting – it was in the perfect places – and when he had a question about what we thought because we had one “extra” that just wouldn’t fit, he checked with us – but his suggestion was right in line with what we should do. We absolutely received our value for the money. Yes, the cost was more than average, but the service is well above average!  You don’t have a second chance to re-do the music for the ceremony and reception – why would you chance it to a guy running MP3s off a laptop?  I can’t thank you enough for everything you guys did for the wedding – my son and daughter in law were completely thrilled with their whole day!

Caitlin and Marshall 9/24/16 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Ryan LaRue)

I wanted to send over a quick note to tell you how GREAT Ryan was! We were so pleased with how he handled our wedding and received many compliments on the music selection! We didn’t prepare him very well with our minimal playlist and he picked up our slack very nicely.  Overall, he was an absolute joy to work with and did an awesome job!! : )

Alyssa and David 9/23/16 – Loft at Studio J (Brandon Holland)

DJ Brandon Holland was AMAZING. He was one of the best things about our wedding!! One of the biggest priorities of both the bride and groom (we like to dance, okay?) was good music and a good DJ. And we are SO glad we chose Instant Request & Brandon. We got along really well and he made us feel super comfortable the whole day. We had several things go wrong with a few vendors and Brandon stepped in and made magic happen. As soon as Brandon checked in with me that day, he knew that things weren’t happening as planned so he stepped in and basically became our wedding planner. He reassured me (the crazy bride) that everything would be taken care of and it did! He was helping set tables, suggesting photos to the photographer, helping the guests – several people came up to us to tell us they thought he was the venue manager and not the DJ! He was also SO much fun – he was dancing, laughing, interacting with all of our guests like we were all old friends and our guests LOVED it, our dance floor was absolutely full the whole night. He checked in with not only the bride but with EVERYONE the whole time to make sure everything was going well – super flexible and truly excellent customer service. We honestly can’t say enough to thank him enough for helping us out and keeping us smiling and having a good time throughout the night. THANK YOU THANK YOU

Caitlin and Nicholas 9/18/16 – Aria (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Benji Durgunoglu was our DJ and he did an excellent job  leading up to and at our event. From our initial meeting through continued communication and at the event, he insured everything went without a problem and fit our style. I will highly recommend him and Instant Request

Si and Nathan 9/17/16 – Bachelor Farmer (Robert Hayles)

Robert was awesome! He did a great job of keeping things organized, and keeping everybody on the dance floor entertained. He even helped us with some of the line dances because none of us knew how to get them going. I can’t say enough nice things about him.  The sound was great, and I was a little worried that the lighting would be over the top, but it actually worked out really well too, so good all around! We really liked how smoothly everything went, and the fact that we did not have to worry about that end of things at all once we filled out the form to give Robert an idea of what we were looking for.

Kate and Tim 9/17/16 – Mendakota Country Club (Natalie Jensen)

Our wedding reception was a blast! We had Natalie as our DJ and she did a fantastic job. She was very professional and organized. We chatted a couple times before the day of to lock down any special requests we had, and to select music for the traditional dances. She had a great sound system and played a perfect mix of music, including special requests, to keep people dancing and smiling all night. Natalie worked very hard and we are very appreciative of her efforts and would absolutely recommend her to anybody.      

Darla and Marc 9/17/16 – Oak Ridge Hotel and Conference Center (Andy McClure)

Andy was very good and easy to work with.  He even took time to meet personally with us as we wanted to pick all of our own music, many songs of which weren’t in the database.  He also had a great suggestion for a charity jar for us.  Nice guy and a really good fit for us.

Julia and David 9/17/16 – Woodhill Country Club (Justin Roff)

Justin – we know we only had a quick goodbye last night to catch the sparklers and shuttle, but you did an absolutely AMAZING job – what a party!!  I had so many people comment on how awesome the music was, and the fact that the dance floor was literally packed all night is a testament to exactly that.  Thank you, thank you for contributing so much to what was the best day of both of our lives so far :)We will definitely be passing your name along to any of my other friends getting married in the area in the future – you rocked it.  

Colleen and Ronald 9/17/16 – Minnesota Valley Country Club (Rick Ausland)

Our reception location (Minnesota Valley Country Club) recommended Instant Request to us for our DJ service and we are very grateful to have chosen them. We decided to get paired with a DJ based on our online profile instead of picking out a DJ and we have no regrets about that. Their online profile system is very thorough and helps paint a complete picture of what you would like on your big day. This system helped pair us with an amazing DJ, Rick. When we talked to Rick, he had many years of experience and we knew we got a great DJ and were going to have an amazing night. We wanted to keep the dance floor packed the whole night and he was able to do that. He played all the right songs to allow for the dance floor to be the place to be that night and also had the right transitions to all the important events of that night (first dances, garter/bouquet toss, dollar dance). Rick was also an amazing MC to help with the flow of speeches and cake cutting earlier in the night. I would highly recommend Instant Request to any couple looking for great DJ service for a great value. And if you want a great DJ, try to request Rick, he was the best. Thanks Instant Request and Rick.   

Andrea and Ryan 9/17/16 – Town & Country Club (Ben Nordquist)

 Ben was so easy to work with and got everything set up and running on his own.  He checked in with us when needed.  He did not make himself the center of attention, rather he made the dance floor the center of attention.  He read the crowd and made adjustments accordingly   

Stephanie and Andrew 9/10/16 – Minneapolis Event Center (Andrew Najafalipour)

Andrew was fantastic.  He did absolutely perfect.  Thank you!  His style matched exactly what we asked for.    

Mia and David 9/10/16 – Minnesota Valley Country Club (Bengi Durgunoglu)

DJ Bengi D……We cannot say enough positive feedback about DJ Bengi D. From day 1 he was truly a joy to work with. We received many complements and outstanding feedback about him from friends and family at our reception. Bengi did a phenomenal job keeping the dance floor packed. Our guests had a blast and we give tons of credit to Bengi for doing a great job mashing songs together. He was outgoing and enthusiastic just like we asked! We would highly recommend Bengi to DJ any event – he was AWESOME!!

Emily and Ryan 9/10/16 – Landmark Center (Tyler Hylland)

Tyler met and exceeded our expectations. He was perfect for our style and really knew how to read the crowd to keep people dancing all night long. I would recommend him to anyone! He exceeded our expectations. I still have people commenting to me on how wonderful the lighting was and how great the dance was. The dance floor was packed all night long. Tyler did an absolutely wonderful job. He went above and beyond the call of what it meant to be a DJ for our wedding. We feel very fortunate he was selected for our event.  

Brittany and Jamie 9/9/16 – Vadnais Heights Commons (Anthony DuBose)

Our DJ, Anthony, not only met our expectations but far exceeded it. We had, and are still getting, so many compliments on the DJ company and Anthony himself. I could not be more pleased with how our night turned out, he kept the crowd going until the very end and every one had such a good time. He was PERFECT!!   Instant Request was an all around great choice, the staff is friendly and very helpful, the event planner was a godsend for me, the price was very reasonable when comparing to other services and our DJ was the person who made our night memorable for everyone in attendance. I would recommend Instant Request to anyone in need of a DJ, I believe we even handed out a couple cards the night of our wedding 🙂 that is, in fact, how we got connected with instant request. In comparison with other companies you can’t beat the price with Instant Request. I really can’t say enough about your company. I truly feel the DJ is what makes your wedding night and Anthony did just that for us!! Thank you so much!!!

Kristin and Matt 9/4/16 – Minikahda Club (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie Dubois kept the dance floor full until the lights came, which was my number one priority on the wedding day. He was professional and very fun to be around. We felt like Instant request was a great value for the high level of service we received. No complaints!

Jacqueline and Matthew 9/4/16 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Justin Roff)

JUSTIN DID AN AMAZING JOB! He perfectly fit our style, we asked him to pick most of the music and the just used the software to let him know what kind of stuff the bride listens to. He did a great job with seamless transitions and good taste.

Emily and Tyler 9/3/16 – Kellerman’s Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony D. was phenomenal!! He was fantastic to work with and super accommodating the night of. He is a great character to have behind the table and met all of our expectations.  Throughout the night and still to this day, we are receiving glowing feedback of Anthony’s talent and the fun everyone had! It is safe to say, he blew some minds that night with his transitions and flair. And of course kept the dance floor going all night long!  His Thank you note card at the end of the night was a nice added bonus/surprise.

Leah and James 9/3/16 – Millennium Hotel (David James)

David was incredibly attentive and willing to work with us to accommodate our live musicians. He even helped my now husband set up a surprise performance for me at the head table, so he went above and beyond our expectations!

Carmen and Chad 8/28/16 – Silverwood Park Visitor Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy from Instant Request was an amazing DJ. We talked on the phone about a week before our wedding to go over the event timing. My dad wanted the father/daughter dance to start out slow and then pick up to a quick beat so we could surprise people and show off our dance moves. Jimmy found us the perfect song! People told me that the father/daughter dance was the highlight of the wedding! Jimmy was key to keeping our ceremony and reception moving on time. He provided music and cues for our ceremony. And then he helped us to keep our reception going by getting our guests to sit down for the meal, cueing the speeches, and starting the dance. He communicated with us often throughout our reception and helped us to wrap up our event with one last big dance. Jimmy was incredibly flexible and helped us to provide the exact feel we wanted at our reception! We highly recommend Instant Request!      

Lauren and Ryan 8/27/16 – Private residence (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi was very nice on the phone and I felt comfortable with him being the DJ immediately.  Bengi Exceeded our expectations! He was exactly what we wanted. He caught on very quickly that our group wasn’t into slow songs and he kept the dancing going all night! I thought Bengi tried to really understand our style and he stuck to it. I had someone at the wedding request a song I had on my do not play list and he was very polite about telling that person I didn’t wish to have that played at the wedding. All of our guests thought he did an Amazing job! I thought everything went very well through out the whole process. I would absolutely request this company! We had a wedding guest tell us they were switching their current DJ that they had to Bengi because they thought he did such an awesome job

Kateri and Knute 8/28/16 – Fountain Roff in the Lumber Exchange Building (Justin Roff)

Justin was amazing! We were talking after the wedding and agreed that hiring him and our photographer was the best money spent for the entire wedding (well, maybe my dress and his suit would go on that list too…). Justin has a ton of experience, so we left a lot of the song choices up to him so that he could “read the crowd” throughout the night. Well, the dance floor was packed all night without even a single song that was a dud – what a tremendous success. Justin had a great blend of song genres and had a good sense for shifting the songs from older to newer as the night went on. He was also great because he came up to us to discuss the schedule while we had a few moments before dinner, and he had a great sense of when to approach us if he had a question about a request, identifying a speech-giver, etc. without being a bother. So many of our guests came up to us after the wedding to tell us how awesome the DJ was! We have nothing but awesome things to say about Justin! The lighting and sound were great! I can’t say we really noticed the sound and lighting too much, which is a good sign that there wasn’t anything distracting or out of place for either. We loved the fact that we had complete confidence in Justin to just play good music all night! There were so many stressful things about wedding planning, but things going wrong with the music and sound system were the farthest things from our minds. It was great to not have to worry about it. Again, this DJ service was some of the best money we spent at the wedding.  

Jessica and Mikael 8/27/16 – Chateau St. Croix Winery and Vineyard (Jessica Lyons)

We really loved Jessica Lyons, our DJ for our wedding. She did a great job coordinating with our venue and we really loved the music selection she used, she read the crowd well and she was easy to work with. I have already recommended her to other people because we enjoyed your services so much (and you were actually recommended to me by another bride that used you). I hope you all continue to do really well! Jessica was really great though, please let her know we really appreciated having her.

Berit and Rob 8/27/16 – 514 Studios

Jeff fit our style and helped us navigate the entire event. I appreciated his help as master of ceremonies! 🙂 It was clear from the beginning that IR was a vendor who was truly there to help make our day fun, but also as stressfree as possible. I was impressed with the calm, can-do attitude that everyone from IR who we interacted with showcased

Heather and Brian 8/20/16 – Maple Ridge Farm (Anthony DuBose)

I wanted to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thank you to you for the DJ services you provided us on our wedding day. Your exceptional ability to remain flexible when the rain was causing grief, be professional and fun showing off your true passion for DJing, and to LIGHT UP A DANCE FLOOR cannot be emphasized more. You have a clear passion for the role and every one of our guests could see it. I heard from many guests that you were the best DJ they have ever had the pleasure of dancing with and many guests who said they have never seen a dance floor that full for that long before. Brian and I could not agree more with them and wanted to take a moment to show our appreciation for all that you did to make our wedding day so very special. We were so so happy!! Thanks again for all you guys’ help at Instant Request DJ. Our wedding venue owner at Maple Ridge Farm was actually present for most of the wedding reception and will be adding you guys to the top of her recommended vendors list. Thanks again.  

Rachel and Phil 8/20/16 – Signatures in Winona (Andrew Najafalipour)

Andrew was fantastic. He checked in with Rachel when we got to the reception and checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy with his songs. He was a great fit! Rachel selected way too much music (11ish hours) and Andrew chose the songs that fit us and put them in a fantastic order, which resulted in our wedding dance floor being constantly filled. I would highly recommend him to any other couple looking for a DJ.

Tricia and Zac 8/20/16 – Minneapolis Club (Jimmy Bogen)

Everything about your service was great! Jimmy was better than we could have imagined! He met with us in advance as part of our Black Tie booking and helped us go through everything and even things we never thought of. Multiple people at our wedding said his selection was great. We had quite a few people still dancing at the end of the night and I think that is attributed to Jimmy. We would highly recommend Instance Request and Jimmy. Thank you so much for everything!    

Kelsey and Tyler 8/20/16 – Lafayette Club (Justin Roff)

I cannot say how much we LOVED Justin!! He over exceeded our expectations and literally helped make the entire night a huge party. Honestly, by far the best DJ that I have ever seen at a wedding before. He was just so nice and accommodating. He was very great at informing the guests of important items like speeches, first dance, and making everyone come out to the dance floor for the first group song! He did an amazing job with our wedding playlist and reading the crowd. I have already told multiple friends to request him for their weddings next year!  The lighting was amazing!  It just finished off my vision for Lafayette Club! It was absolutely perfect and everything we could’ve wanted. I loved the light pink color.What I liked best about Instant Request was that you just over exceeded my expectations on all levels. I originally went with this company because I’ve heard you were the best and I also had a referral, but you still never know how good a wedding DJ is. Our guests are still talking about how this was the most fun wedding they have ever been to. I will recommend Instant Request to all of my friends and already have!  

Laura and Tim 8/20/16 – Calhoun Beach Club (Nate Anderson)

Nate is simply the best DJ there is. We met with Nate a couple of weeks before the wedding and talked to him about what we wanted and didn’t want. He was fun, professional, and really listened to what we had to say. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and prepared. And once the music started the dance floor was full the entire night! It was really important to me that all of our guests could get excited about the music and Nate made sure that happened. We had little kids, teenagers, and older people on the dance floor. So many guests commented on how it was so nice that we had a range of music! If you want a DJ that keeps guests on the dance floor, you must book Nate!

Brian and Ryley 8/19/16 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Alex Knight)

Best. DJ. EVER. Alex came in with us really only talking online a bit and having a quick 5 minute phone call (this is because I did everything through the online planner). He kept everyone on the dance floor all night long and made the night SO MUCH FUN! Both bride and grooms family were dancing together (which is EXACTLY what I wanted)! My entire family has been asking about him and what company he is from- since he was so awesome. I always give them the Instant Request information for their next get together! I truly cannot say better things! Thanks so much for showing everyone an absolutely wonderful time at our wedding! We got SO much bang for our buck! I was on a tight budget so for a while I was thinking of not having a DJ and I’m so glad that we ended up having you guys! made the night effortless for me and my husband and so much fun! We are very happy with the value

Jessica and Ben 8/13/16 – Minneapolis Event Center (Charlie DuBois)

You rocked it dude! Thanks for making the party! We had the best day ever!  More importantly- your note was the sweetest thing! So nice!!! Seriously – we were so touched by that!Thank you! We hope to have the good fortune of running into you again soon!  

Erin and Thomas 8/13/16 – Mill City Museum (Bengi Durgunoglu)

I am so glad I booked Instant Request. The online custom playlist is great and super easy to use. Our DJ, Benji, was the BEST. High energy, professional, flexible and kept the dance party going strong. I had people come up to me the next day, and weeks after the wedding was over, and tell me that our DJ was great. Highly recommend!

Julie and Brandon 8/13/16 – Atrium at International Market Square (Anthony DuBose)

DJ Anthony was awesome. He did great, our photographers were even impressed with how many people were still on the dance floor when they left. He was perfect for our wedding.  You guys have it down to a science and everything we did was very easy because of how you have it set up.DJ Anthony was pretty awesome too.

Karen and Ross 8/13/16 – St. Paul Athletic Club (Jimmy Bogen)

I wanted to reach out to you and thank you for recommending Jimmy to be our DJ. Ross and I really cannot put into words how happy we were with Jimmy and his ability to facilitate an awesome party! We had multiple guests approach us after the wedding saying how great he was!! Choosing Instant Request as our DJ vendor was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process! The online event planner made what can be an overwhelming and daunting task into a simple, fun and easy way to select your music and organize your dance. We were so lucky to have worked with Jimmy as our DJ for our wedding night. We knew from the moment we met him, we were in good hands. Jimmy worked with us making last minute changes all the way up to the week of our wedding and he never missed a beat. He was extremely professional and FUN to work with and also so accommodating, with our custom dinner playlist and our ethnic Greek music and dancing! It is amazing how well he was able to read the crowd and keep the party going all night long! Our guests are still talking about how great the music and dance, as well as the light show was! Thank you, Jimmy for making our reception a memorable one for us and for our guests! We truly loved working with you and Instant Request! Jimmy – thank you thank you thank you!!! You kicked serious butt at our reception! We had a couple guests get video footage of the dance and I swear there had to have been 70+ people on the dance floor all night! Everyone keeps raving about how awesome you were! We are so grateful! I would recommend you and Instant Request to any engaged couple out there! Thank you for everything!

Amanda and Erik 8/13/16 – Loft at Studio J (Justin Roff)

Justin Roff was an amazing DJ. The best DJ we’ve seen for a wedding and we were very happy he was our DJ. We were lucky enough to be able to guarantee his reservation under the Black Tie DJ Reservation.  He was accommodating with all of our requests and also gave us some idea’s that have helped for past weddings. He played the majority of our songs from the playlist but also took requests which was great! He also knew how to get people on the dance floor and to feel the crowd to see what genre of music to play. He was fantastic and will recommend him to our friends and family. Also very accommodating when it came to being our DJ at our ceremony and then having to travel to a different location for reception. The dance floor was packed until the very end which is always a good thing! The sound was fantastic. We had our ceremony on a private outdoor beach next to the river which made us worry about sound. I was so amazed at the sound quality, it was crisp and very loud. I could hear it up the hill from where I had to walk down the stairs through the isle. Amazing sound for an outdoor wedding! Also, we enjoyed the lighting. Justin knew how to correlate the music with the lighting to make it feel like a true dance party.  

Natalie and Blake 8/13/16 – Hazeltine Golf Club (David James)

David was great!! We weren’t the easiest bunch to round up all night but from the beginning of the night he was always so kind and let us make changes to  what we wanted. Even when we weren’t really sticking to the schedule he was great in helping guide us and figuring out what worked for us that night! A special thanks to him in helping my fiancé, Blake, plan a surprise in singing to me during the wedding dance! He helped Blake find the right song and surprise me – something I’ll never forget.  Thanks again David for making our dance so great and memorable!  

Stephanie and Adam 8/12/16 – Semple Mansion (Jimmy Bogen)

We LOVED our DJ – Jimmy B.  He met and far exceeded our expectations.  He was a perfect fit for our style! He got everyone moving, dancing, entertained, and involved.  As the wedding approached, my biggest fear was that no one would dance, and that was definitely not the case! Jimmy played the perfect mix of old and new music, and again, it got everyone moving! I loved the dance – in fact, I am almost positive I danced to every single song! Jimmy was definitely in tune with us and the audience!  The thing I like best about Instant Request is that our DJ made our day absolutely perfect! I loved that I was able to put in a request for a DJ that came recommended to us, and that we got to use him and LOVED him! I love how quickly people responded to my emails and questions.  I also loved how we could request/block music in the online event planner.  We also loved that we got a great deal for our DJ services! We got a special price/deal and it was such a great value! As our wedding day got closer, I was worried that we “didn’t spend enough” on a DJ and boy was I wrong! Jimmy far exceeded our expectations! I truly believe we got a wonderful deal for the price!  Thank you so so much for making our wedding day perfect and enjoyable! Our guests were dancing the night away (as was my husband and I) and our guests reported having a fabulous time!! 🙂  We had the best night of our lives!       

Kristin and Peter 8/6/16 – Minneapolis Event Center (Brandon Holland)

Our wedding was about a month ago and I can’t tell you how happy we were with the service at Instant Request.  The office staff was great to deal with – from my initial inquiry to switching to a black tie DJ everything was super efficient and my questions were addressed right away.  Brandon Holland was our DJ – he met with us prior to the event and immediately put us at ease.  He had a lot of great ideas and we were able to see how easy he would be to work with.  He worked hand in hand with the coordinator at our site and came out to our trolley prior to our grand entrance – he outlined how everything would work (which was necessary with our totally Type A personalities) and got the whole wedding party into it from the get-go! From his introduction throughout the entire night he kept people laughing and more importantly kept them out on the dance floor.  He put up with my last minute crazy song requests and from the 5-25-75 year old guests EVERYONE was out on the floor having fun.  We absolutely recommend him and couldn’t have chosen a better DJ.  THANK YOU for making our wedding the best party either of us have ever been to!

Kristen and Charlie 8/6/16 – Winehaven Winery (Justin Roff)

Justin exceeded our expectations! He was the perfect fit for us and our guest’s music style. Looking back, we really did have the best wedding dance in the history of wedding dances…many of our guests told us that!  

Liz and Steve 8/6/16 – Golden Valley Golf and Country Club (Ben Nordquist)

Ben was fantastic and had amazing energy! So appreciated. He kept everyone on the dance floor. He did a great job. I highly recommend him

Annie and Michael 8/5/16 – MN History Center (Tyler Hylland)

Our DJ, Tyler, and his associate were absolutely great. They were courteous, professional, and went well above and beyond our expectations. Tyler was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was a great fit for our style. Many guests commented on how impressed they were with his abilities and demeanor.  

Karley and Brock 7/30/16 – Interlachen Country Club (Nate Anderson)

Thank you so much for being a part of our speciall day! Karley and I really appreciated that! You were quite the hit (as advertised) with everyone there! I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and thank you again! Hope to see you again somewhere along our journey! All the Best to you    

Ashley and Aaron 7/30/16 – Villa Bellezza (Andy McClure)

DJ Andy McClure and Instant Request exceeded all of my expectations for our wedding! DJ Andy was amazing at feeling out the crowd and playing songs to keep everyone on the dancefloor regardless of age! They were awesome at taking our preferences into account and even allowed us to upload a specific version of a song for our first dance. They were so amazing to work with and I still get comments from our guests about how amazing our reception was!!

Shannon and Mason 7/23/16 – Carlson Towers Rotunda & Amphitheater (Nate Anderson)

Our DJ Nate was amazing. Best DJ and the dancing went all night. We had a big group that was still dancing to the end and could have gone for hours longer. Nate was amazing! We also used Instant request for our lighting and floor monogram which was beautiful. The only thing that was frustrating at times was working with so many people in communication and planning. Once Nate took over everything was great.

Ally and Brad 7/23/16 – Oak Glen Golf Club (Jimmy Chien)

Instant Request was fantastic to work with!! DJ Jimmy did a great job — all of our friends were talking about how much they loved him! Their online planner made everything so simple . Highly recommend hiring them!

Liz and Andy 7/16/16 – Next Chapter Winery (Andy McClure)

We used Instant Request for our July 2016 wedding because our friends had used DJ Milk at their wedding the year before and their dance was super fun. We noted this when we filled out the Event Planner, but said that we’d be happy with whomever they felt would be the best fit. So, we were assigned DJ Andy McClure and he was absolutely perfect! DJ Andy reached out to us before the wedding and was very professional and responsive. We had some unique requests in that our ceremony and part of the reception was outside and required extra speakers, so he worked with my husband and the venue to make sure the audio would be what we wanted. Also, our song for the first dance wasn’t in the database and he made sure to get it; we did a special family dance with our parents and our toddler son and it went exactly as planned, and he just threw in some special touches throughout the night that showed he was experienced and cared about us having a good time. One of the best parts of the night was when he surprised everyone by throwing out glow-sticks with a Daft Punk song. We brought them and suggested some sort of surprise but weren’t sure how to execute on our idea and we didn’t know if it would be a total bomb or totally bomb – it was the latter! Our dance floor was rockin’ all night long and guests of all ages said it was the best DJ/best dance/best wedding! DJ Andy played a good mix of the songs we’d suggested and others that would fit the group’s mood. We had a great time and so did our son and our guests. 🙂 Thank you DJ Andy and Instant Request for making our night so fun and memorable!!  

Sara and Jacob 7/16/16 – Oak Glen Golf Club (David James)

Communication was always quick and easy! They event planner is so helpful and fun to set up. My DJ was David Allison and he was awesome! He did everything we asked, was a lot of fun, and kept us in the loop all night long! These guys are great! I went with them because they were recommended from my cousins wedding and his wife’s sisters wedding. They do fantastic work!   

Catie and Adam 7/9/16 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Brandon Holland)

DJ Brandon H was THE best!! He far exceeded our expectations and was the perfect DJ for our wedding!  He had an excellent balance of professionalism and fun as well as a great balance of guest engagement!  He did an awesome job of keeping our guests on the dance floor all night!  In addition, our experience with Instant Request was wonderful.  The team/staff were very responsive and helpful.  We would highly recommend Instant Request!

Maria and Erik 7/9/16 – Minneapolis Club (Alex Knight)

We can not stop saying the most amazing things about Alex Knight from Instant Request DJ Entertainment. Not only was he super easy to communicate with, he did an absolute flawless job at keeping all ages of guests up and dancing until the final song. He respected the style of music we liked, played all the songs we requested that weren’t even on the Instant Request list, and then he supplemented those with his own picks that were insane crowd pleasers without being cheesy. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing all in separate rooms at The Minneapolis Club, and he navigated the music around perfectly (which is not an easy thing to do). During our ceremony, he knew exactly when to start phasing in a song so there were no awkward silences, and he modified the father/daughter and mother/son songs so they weren’t incredibly long. Our guests are still talking about how awesome Alex Knight was and we will continue to recommend him to everyone we know.

Niki and Brian 7/9/16 – Stonebrooke Golf Club (Charlie DuBois)

We cannot say enough good things about DJ Charlie! He was amazing to work with and absolutely kept the music and party going all night long! My husband and I filled out our custom music profile but didn’t get too specific when it came to the playlist, we had a pre-wedding consult with Charlie and within the 10 minute conversation we felt he completely understood the vibe we wanted on our wedding day. Our guests loved the music and continue to compliment us on our DJ!  

Cassie and Nathan 7/9/16 – Solar Arts Building (Justin Roff)

I wanted to send an email complimenting our DJ, Justin Roff.  He did an AMAZING job at our wedding (July 9th at Solar Arts Building).  Nate and I were so impressed with Justin’s professionalism, energy, and communication!  I lost of track of how many of our guests told me and Nate “You have the best DJ!” Or  “Your DJ is killing it!”  Justin, words can’t describe how much fun you made our dance floor!  We loved your easy going personality and we always knew we were in good hands. You blew us out of the water with your talent and enthusiasm!  I realize we were one of many weddings Justin does in a year, but he made ours extra special and we won’t ever forget that.  Thank you so much!!!

Tara and Tom 7/9/16 – Residence (Rhaelee Gronholz)

I just wanted to let you know that we had Rhaelee at our wedding wedding last weekend and I thought she did a wonderful job.  She was very professional and kept the dance floor full.  We really enjoyed ourselves! I was very pleased with Instant Request DJ! I loved having the online planner and our DJ did a wonderful job sticking to our wishes. Rhaelee was our DJ and we were so happy with her- her energy & flexibility. She kept the dance floor moving, made great selections and did a great job reading the crowd!  

Claire and Dan 7/2/16 – American Swedish Institute (Alex Knight)

Alex Knight killed it! We had multiple people ask who he was and state he did a great job. He stuck to our playlist and threw in ones he knew would keep the crowd dancing. I Would never hesitate to tell anyone to book Alex.

Esme and Dave 7/2/16 – Earle Brown Heritage Center (Justin Roff)

AMAZING! Such a great company to work with and help make sure your big day has great entertainment.
We had a Black Tie DJ, Justin R, who was beyond amazing. He could read our guests and knew exactly what song to play next to keep our dance floor hopping all night. Our guests ranged from 2-91 years old and there wasn’t a moment where the dance floor was empty. If it is in your budget, please consider a Black Tie DJ. As far as the uplighting, they were the perfect touch to our reception room. We didn’t want to do a lot of decorating, as the room was pretty enough without anything extra, but the uplighting highlighted the white, wooden walls and ceiling perfectly. I am definitely going to recommend Instant Request to anyone that asks me!!

Kate and Matt 7/1/16 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Kailen Nelson)

Our DJ exceeded my expectations. Kailen was fantastic, both beforehand during our phone consultation, and especially during the wedding reception. The day of, when everyone was running around changing things last minute, he remained incredibly flexible and patient. He was quick to provide suggestions to keep the pace of the evening appropriate, while also reminding us that it was our party and we could essentially do whatever we wanted. I would highly recommend Kailen to anyone looking for a low-key wedding or a dance marathon reception.

Candace and Terrance 6/30/17 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy Bogen was the DJ for our wedding in June 2017. I can honestly say, working with him and the staff at Instant request was a great experience. An hour before our wedding it started to rain, for our outdoor wedding…. Yes MN weather!!! Jimmy had to bring his equipment in the venue and basically reset up, Yet he remained in a great mood. He played everything we requested, and didn’t play the music we denied.
The whole staff was great to work with, we had a lot of contact with Matt Van Den Broek, he was just as wonderful. Thank you Instant Request.

Kelly and Bennen 6/25/16 – Residence (Tom Coughlin)

Our DJ (Tom Coughlin) did a fantastic job and suited our needs. He was flexible, professional, and worked extremely hard through all of the heat and event set up. We cannot say enough about how great of a job he did! The sound system worked well for both our ceremony and reception, which exceeded our expectations since it was an outdoor wedding and we didn’t totally know what our day would entail. The lighting also helped create a fun dancing atmosphere. I like how Instant Request has a very reasonable rate and takes into account the customer’s wishes to match up a DJ that fits their needs. Not having to find our own DJ through other sites made it a lot easier on us for planning our wedding.  We couldn’t even find any other service remotely in the same price range for how long our DJ provided his services and the quality was outstanding! Thank you so much for providing such a classy DJ for us and helping us with planning. This process went a lot smoother than we were expecting and can’t say enough about your service and Tom Coughlin as a DJ!

Mylissa and Craig 6/25/16 – Bunker Hills Golf Club (Joey Atkinson)

Joey was a fabulous DJ!! Before our event he set up a phone meeting with us so he could better understand our expectations and even offered to send over mother-son song recommendations for my fiancé to help him pick a song for the wedding. He was outgoing and kept the dance floor rocking the whole night, we’ve had many guest comment he was one of the best DJs they have had at a wedding! Joey checked in with us throughout the night and went out of his way to make sure he had the special song we wanted to plan as a tribute to my parents for the anniversary dance.

Yuqing and Eric 6/25/16 – Marriott Minneapolis Southwest (Robert Hayles)

Robert was outstanding.  He is a true professional.  He had every piece of music perfectly planned.  His dance list was the best.  Everyone danced from the first dance until the last dance.  I would recommend Instant Request and Robert to anyone.  He had the crowd having a blast.  He had the microphones ready for the ceremony, the speeches and took requests for additional songs. Thanks again for making this a memorable evening

Heidi and Jake 6/25/16 – Lake Waconia Event Center (Joshua Burkett)

Josh was awesome! I was in some what of a fog on the wedding day and didn’t actually pay much attention to what was happening because I was so busy talking to guests but people commented on the great variety of music and he seemed to read the crowd well. He also made some good suggestions when we talked prior to the wedding and my 5 year old niece was pretty excited that he played the chicken dance for her twice as she requested.  I liked the thoroughness of the online planner. Our DJ and other staff were very helpful and made sure everything was taken care of, I never worried that something would be missed. Josh also made sure to give us the copy of our reception video DVD that our videographer made which I really appreciated since I didn’t have a chance to watch much of that at the reception, it was great to be able to watch it the next day!

Courtney and Travis 6/25/16 – Aria (Justin Roff)

We worked with Instant Request at our wedding and Justin Roff was absolutely amazing. He made our day flawless. From the ceremony to the reception he knew exactly how to keep our guests engaged! Everyone had such a great time, and we have to thank Justin for that!

Shannon and Brendan 6/18/16 – Fountain Roff in the Lumber Exchange Building (Charlie DuBois)

Charlie exceeded our expectations!  He was exactly what I wanted in  a DJ for our wedding.  He kept the crowd on the dance floor, didn’t take over the reception, and was extremely personable without being over the top.  He definitely was a great fit!  He even wrote us a thank you note at the end when really, we should be thanking him!  

Jessica and Darin 6/18/16 – Aria (Rick Ausland)

Thank you  so much for helping us to make our wedding day so perfect and unforgettable. You were on point with cocktail hour to dinner to keeping people on the dance floor all night. You truly helped entertain our guests which was really important to us! Thanks again for everything.  Your skill and professionalism were appreciated and noted.

Kelly and Nick 6/18/16 – Cannon River Winery (Zach Bayerl)

Zach B. was our DJ, and he was amazing! He absolutely nailed it. Perfect timing, perfect volume, perfect music. DJs really are important; we have been to weddings with terrible ones that were way too pay-attention-to-me and just could not get the good vibes rolling. Zach was the complete opposite. He read the crowd, accommodated requests, and our dance floor was jam-packed the entire night. We received countless compliments about how awesome he was. Thanks, Zach!!

Jennifer and Sean 6/11/16 – BayView Event Center (Josh Perkins)

The online event planner was extremely useful. We preferred to complete it on our own time, rather than taking time off of work to meet with a DJ. We would not change anything. Josh Perkins was an amazing DJ. He was professional, adaptable and definitely loves what he does. He followed our guide exactly and fit our style perfectly. Instant Request does a great job at putting engaged couples at ease. The planning process was fun with the guide and did not induce stress. We were very happy with the discount that was offered fall 2015. It was what made us decide Instant Request when comparing it to Bayview Event Center’s preferred DJ company. A competitive price was very important to us.

Lindsay and Lance 6/11/16 – Wayzata Country Club (Erik Lehmkuhl)

Our DJ Eric and his assistant were great!! And exceeded all expectations. They were prompt, easy to work with, talented and kept the flow of the night going! He had great music and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. Eric contacted me before our Wedding Day to discuss and make sure were on the same, which made the day more relaxed. We would recommend Instant Request for DJ services to anyone!! Thank you for being so easy to work with!

Jenna and Joe 6/11/16 – Jackpot Junction (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Benji did a wonderful job! We had so many different genres of music being requested that he was able to meet all the requests and keep everyone dancing.  He was able to balance most of the vision we wanted for night and keeping everyone else involved and enjoying the night as well. There was a small mix up at the beginning of the dance but he certainly made up for it with the last song of evening! Instant Request was a great company to work with because they were thorough with the entire process.  They were one of the most professional companies we worked with throughout the entire planning process.  

Lauren and Aaron 6/11/16 – St. Croix Boat and Packet Company (Justin Roff)

Aaron and I just wanted to shoot you a quick email thanking you SO much for everything you did on our wedding day. There was definitely a calm before the storm and then chaos hit! Who knew a 4-level venue would be difficult to coordinate 😉 You did SUCH an AMAZING job at orchestrating everything…carrying equipment up and down…probably sweating you a** off the entire time…and it all seemed like a breeze to us! We were able to truly enjoy our night because of people like YOU coordinating everything so perfectly in such a tricky venue and on such a hot..hot…day.  We cannot thank you enough.

Kathryn and Ben 6/4/16 – Minneapolis Event Center (Ryan LaRue)

Ryan was always easy to get a hold of and very flexible with my crazy schedule. Friendly is an understatement, you almost look forward to chats with him because he’s so fun.  If possible, he was better than expected (although I knew he’d be awesome). He was so great that guests went out of their way to compliment him to me. He read the crowd well and took requests well (as I asked him to do) Working with Ryan, the online planner, the ease of putting it all together (with the planner and Ryan). Honestly just loved that my guests had as great of a time on the dance floor that I did.  I knew I wanted to use instant request. My sister used a less expensive DJ (she saved maybe $200) and it wasn’t worth it. Was great to have expectations met for such a big day.  

Pamela and Jared 6/4/16 – Oak Marsh Golf Club (Eric Malmberg)

After lots of consideration, we chose Instant Request for our wedding on June 4, 2016. I love music, but this was the most important part to my husband. We upgraded to the Black Tie DJ and chose DJ Eric M, who also brought a trainee along with him…. I think people throught we were extra fancy because it looked like we had 2 DJs! We had our 1:1 with Eric and went through everything we expected for the ceremony and reception. He very professional and accommodated all of our requests! He made announcements as we needed and was a lot of fun with the music and guests. Everyone was out dancing and having a great time…we had people comment about how they’ve never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding! I definitely recommend Instant Request, ask for Eric M!

Amy and James 6/4/16 – Mill City Museum (Ben Nordquist)

The office staff at Instant Request were amazing. James and I planned our wedding at Mill City from NC. Everyone was very accommodating in making time to meet with us when we were in MN, answering phone calls, and responding to emails. Our DJ, Ben, was great. We had some timing issues because of rain. He not only ran around to change the sound systems around, but was always there to ask us our thoughts on the change in schedule and what we wanted for the night. The music he played fit with our planner and taste well. He was great! The sound and lighting were perfect. We planned our wedding from out of town. Some vendors were not only hard to get a hold of, but also very difficult to plan with from NC. So, my favorite thing about Instant Request was the ease of planning. It was nice to know I could call or email to get not only a quick, but friendly response. Everyone was so wonderful to work with and it was nice to have individuals who cared about making our day as we envisioned. We were more than pleased with the service we received from Instant Request. The price for the quality of service we received was well worth it.

 

Amber and Bartow 5/29/16 – Minneapolis Event Center (Justin Roff)

Justin did an incredible job as my wedding day DJ. He made the evening fun and really got the crowd on the dance floor. He was involved just the right amount. Not too much but not too little. I couldn’t have asked for more. He took my consultation ideas and song requests from their online database and executed everything flawlessly. He was extremely professional and always responded quickly to all of my inquiries. Top notch! The best in the business. Thank you Justin! My wedding wouldn’t have been as amazing without you and your work. 🙂 <3  

Jacklyn and Joey 5/29/16 – Harriet Island Pavilion (Jamaal Jackson)

 Jamaal was our DJ from Instant Request and he was terrific. Played all the hits, worked with our emcee (we had a friend do the honors) but also chatted up the crowd up when necessary (but never too much). Super easy to work with, played the songs we wanted him to play but also made his own playlist and he played all the hits!

Lindsay and Devin 5/21/16 – Grand Palms Event Center in Chaska (Tom Coughlin)

Our DJ, Tom C., was awesome! He was great at keeping people on the dance floor, handling tons of song requests, and just in general is a really friendly, easy-going guy who seems to enjoy his job. My husband and I were very happy with him, and we also got positive comments about him from our guests. Thanks Tom and Instant Request

Katelyn and Mathew 5/21/16 – Hamburg Community Center (Brandon Holland)

We requested Brandon as he has already dj’ for multiple family weddings. He did a great job keeping everyone on the dance floor and played a great assortment of music for each of our family members tastes.

Brittney and Phil 5/14/16 – Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard (Bengi Durgunoglu)

We used Instant Request for our wedding on 5/14/2016. We had such a great experience from start to finish! From our initial meeting at their office, to their online planning tool, to the initial phone consultation we had with our DJ (where we walked through the entire evening to make sure everyone was on the same page), everything ran so smoothly! Bengi D. was our DJ, and he did a fantastic job communicating with our Officiant to make sure our ceremony ran flawlessly (which it did!). He made sure our guests heard what they wanted to so the dance floor was full the whole night! We received many compliments from our guests that the music was great and the DJ was super friendly! We would highly recommend using Instant Request, as well as Bengi!

Stephanie and Mark 5/14/16 – Crowne Plaza Minneapolis West (Jimmy Bogen)

JImmy Bogen is the best! He DJ’d a friends wedding last year and when I was planning my wedding I knew immediately that we wanted him at ours. Jimmy is incredibly professional and expert in his job. He reads the crowd and keeps the party going. I actually wished (but not really) that he’d play a bad song so I could get a break from the dancing action! I would absolutely recommend Instant Request and Jimmy B. to anyone looking for an action packed dance floor at their wedding or event =)

Janey and Josh 5/14/16 – Dellwood Country Club (Justin Roff)

Josh and I just wanted you to know how happy we were with Justin for our wedding on 5/14/16. Justin was without a doubt the best DJ we have ever encountered. His pre-event planning and overall attention to detail and concern for our wishes truly made for an unforgettable evening. We requested Justin early in the planning process after seeing him at a friends wedding, and as was the case then, he had our guests – young, old and everywhere in-between – on the dance floor the entire evening! Additionally, he was very well prepared, timing was great, and he was excellent for the introductions and announcements. Last but not least he’s very personable and truly cares, which showed in his preparation and performance the night of. He truly had us partying like it was 1999! We will definitely be recommending him and Instant Request to everybody! Thanks so much for everything!  

Alison and Wesley 5/14/16 – Lafayette Club (Nate Anderson)

Nate was very efficient, very professional and so very friendly and easy to work with. Nate was WONDERFUL. He was fabulous! We didn’t have the typical American reception as there were a lot of toasts and even an impromptu person singing a song. Nate accommodated everyone and kept the reception flowing and happy. He was an excellent … “choreographer” of the evening! He definitely “fit our style”. We have another daughter who, although she isn’t dating anyone at the moment, will eventually get married. Nate, please be around for her wedding!! We liked that you wanted to meet with us – twice. We liked that everyone was so friendly, yet, professional. We liked the whole event planner software. (Alison and Wesley could have their songs, yet, Mom and Dad could also put in our requests.) We felt as if you wanted to do the best job you could for us… as if you were friends. And of course, we LOVE Nate!! Nate, came along side my husband and seemed to understand his stage fright and walked him through what the mic would be like etc. Nate also was very good at reading the crowd. He played just the right music for everyone dancing. Worth every penny! We have actually received notes, cards and texts from friends thanking us for inviting them to the wedding. They say ‘it was like a fairy tale”. “Perfect”. “The most beautiful and special wedding we been too”. “When my daughter gets married this is the wedding I would want for her”.

Gabrielle and Brian 5/14/16 – Chaska Event Center (Rick Ausland)

RICK WAS AWESOME! Seriously! He was so great! I’m so glad we paid extra to be able to request him specifically (black tie package). He checked in on us numerous times, kept the dancing going ALL night, switched things up when plans changed… and my favorite part of all is what he did with our opening song. We knew what song we wanted, Prince ‘Let’s go crazy,’ but he had a great idea about timing it out and it was perfect and set the tone for the night! So happy we chose Instant Request for our Dj. We chose Instant Request because Rick Ausland was a DJ at a friend’s wedding. Rick is the best! We were beyond thrilled with him as a DJ at our wedding. He was so much fun and the dance party lasted all night! It was my worst fear to have a wedding where no one danced, or the dance ended early. Thanks to Rick I had nothing to worry about. I think I had sore legs for days because of all the dancing! A few days ago I was chatting about the wedding with friends and one raved about the Dj. Another friend said ‘I didn’t even notice the DJ’ my friend replied, ‘That’s a sign of a good DJ.’ True! We had nothing to worry about with Rick. We enjoyed ourselves and danced for hours. Thanks again, Rick!  Yay!

Monica and Andrew 5/13/16 – Vadnais Heights Commons (Brandon Holland)

My wife and I were super happy with Brandon H! He was fun, did a really good job of getting everyone involved and on the dance floor. He had great energy and fun ideas for guest entertainment. He was there and set up at the venue with plenty of time. We VERY HIGHLY recommend him!

Amanda and Kurt 5/7/16 – Aria (Anthony DuBose)

We absolutely LOVED Anthony. Even though we only met him once prior to the wedding (through the Black Tie meeting), we felt as though he was a friend the day of our wedding. The best part is he listens to every single little detail! Truly! For example, we were struggling with a song that we wanted to walk into for our grand entrance. We were thinking maybe something in the EDM realm, but not as “party”. I had happened to mention to Anthony in passing that Kurt loves Frank Sinatra; not only did Anthony end up finding a Frank Sinatra remix for the entrance song that was PERFECT, but he played a Frank Sinatra song for our last dance of the night. It was really special to us as Kurt is not much of a dancer, but loves dancing to Frank. We had no idea he was going to do this, but we were really happy that he listened to those small details; it surprised us! And certainly meant a lot to us.  We also loved the online event planner.  I am a spreadsheet person, so to input every single detail in this planner was amazing. Additionally, there were no mishaps the day of or questions of when to do what event or play what song when! The event planner is a must.   We were very very pleased with the music and atmosphere of the night and we would 100% recommend Anthony and IR for any event. IR is like no other wedding DJ!! It’s funny; most people view a live band as the crème de la crème for music at a wedding reception, but there is no comparison when IR is your vendor. I would chose Anthony and IR to play for my event every single time over a live band.  We booked incredibly early to lock Anthony down for our wedding date, and we got a steal of a deal. With that said, even the regular price would have been a great value. We know other couples that have paid significantly more than IR’s prices, and it has been inferior quality. Great value!!

Anne & Tom 5/7/16 – Minneapolis Golf Club (Justin Roff)

I wanted to follow up with you to let you know what a fantastic job DJ Justin Roff did at my wedding on May 7, 2016. Nearly everyone we talked to said it was the best dance floor they had seen at a wedding! We were so pleased with Justin’s song choices, communication, and professionalism. Justin met with us in person at a coffee shop for almost an hour to talk about song choices and how the night would go. This put us at ease. During the course of the night he checked in with us on the timeline at just the right moments. He was really on top of things and tuned in to the vibe of the crowd. He played a polka for my husbands Scandinavian family. My husband and I had also been torn between two songs for our first dance. As a surprise, he played our second choice song near the end of the night for a slow dance in honor of the bride and groom. It was awesome and a really special touch! We are so happy with the service we received from Justin Roff and I wanted to make sure you knew. Thanks Justin! We thought you did a fantastic job – one of the best dance floors we have experienced at a wedding. Thanks so much for making our day run so smoothly and be so much fun!!

Laura and Derek 5/7/16 – Minneapolis Event Center (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi is an awesome DJ.  From the first conversation I had with him I know we were going to have a great dance.  He listened to all my thoughts and concerns.  He was prepared for our con-call.  The dance was great!  He stuck to our playlist, but really watched the crowd and made the right adjustments.  We have gotten so many comments on how great our dance was, Bengi deserves a lot of the credit!The entire experience was great.  Bengi was awesome!  Loved the website interface and the level of detail that you allow.  It really helped us plan and make the day great.

Sarah and Taylor 4/30/16 – Lowertown Event Center (Eric Darling)

 Everyone we worked with was very friendly. Everything was so easy – from booking to payments.  Eric was AWESOME! We had so many compliments at the end of the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ. He was on top of everything and played great music. He had everyone dancing from the start of the night to the end. He put up with a lot of our crazy guests and their random requests. I would recommend him to EVERYONE! The pricing was the best value that we could find in the cities. Everything was so great. We loved working with Instant Request and Eric

Lara and Ben 4/30/16 – Fountain Room in the Lumber Exchange (Anthony DuBose)

Everyone was great to work with The planning software was great.  It helped get us organized for working with other vendors, photographer, etc) and we found most of the songs and the ones we couldn’t were added for the event. Anthony Dubose played the perfect blend of all the types of music we were looking for, kept people on the dance floor all night long.  Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.  The sound was great.  Should have used the DJ stuff vs the venue sound system for the ceremony, would have worked out better.   I love the organization of Instant Request.  From the software to how prepared the DJ was on the day, with a schedule printed off and reminders of when we were aiming to do the various kinds of dances, etc. I would highly recommend Instant Request to other.  Many guests mentioned how great the DJ was    

Kayla and Anthony 4/23/16 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Brandon Holland)

Brandon was Incredible. He was the perfect match for us as a couple and for our guests.  We had a musician emergency and he was willing to help us out if needed, and he kept the party rocking and rolling. By the end of the night people asked us if Brandon was Anthony’s brother because they looked similar and they had similar personalities. We sincerely have contemplated throwing a benefit just so we can have another dance party and invite Brandon to DJ for it.  He simply made our reception magical.

Tonia and Paul 4/23/16 – Minneapolis Club (Andy McClure)

Andy was exactly right for us.  When I met him in person, he immediately gave me the confidence that everything was going to be done the way we wanted.  Our event was somewhat complicated (ceremony, cocktails and dinner all in different rooms, plus some additional entertainers that has specific requirements for sound equipment) and after meeting with Andy I had no doubts that everything would go well.  His style was also just right for our guests.

Sara and Devin 4/23/16 – Marriott MInneapolis Southwest  (Charlie DuBois)

Thank you for making our night so much fun.  The lighting looked amazing and really brought the decor to the next level.  The music was perfect and the dancefloor was almost always full.  Thank you again for everything, especially for your honesty when my husband tried to tip you twice!  You are the best!

Katy and Jake 4/23/16 – Day Block Event Center (Joshua Burkett)

Josh and the person he was training were both awesome!  They accommodated any need we had but most importantly they kept people on the dance floor all night long. He exceeded our expectations.  He was laid back but on the ball.  Our initial meeting with Josh really put us to ease.  He took time out of his busy schedule to learn about our story and we felt very comfortable with him from the start. He was the face of your company and he probably earned you some referrals during our wedding.  He was easy going, funny and again just kept the party going with people dancing at all times.

Jessie and Ben 4/16/16 – Medina Entertainment Center (Jimmy Bogen)

Thank you so much for being our DJ at our wedding!  Everything was so perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!  You were great!  Thank you!  

Nicole and Jeff 4/16/16 – Commons Hotel (Bret Christiansen)

We had a terrific experience with Brett C. at Instant Request! We just had our wedding at the Commons Hotel this past weekend and all of our guests loved the music that was played. We wanted someone who could read the crowd and appeal to all ages and he did an absolutely wonderful job!!!

Rachael and Christopher 4/9/16 – Summit Manor (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi was fantastic! We had nothing but compliments all night about how much fun everyone had because the music was just so fun!  Bengi did an amazing job both fielding requests and creatively putting together songs that would flow very well. It was one of the best parts of our reception! I can’t think of a single criticism. If we could do it over again, we wouldn’t change one thing about the DJ!  Thank you everyone at Instant Request for doing a phenomenal job. It really made out night super fun for everyone!

Anna and Ryan 4/1/16 – Aria (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was awesome. The night could not have gone better for us; he read the crowd and played engaging music all night. We enjoyed the staff’s personality the most. Particularly Anthony, he was fantastic and all smiles, all the time.  

Laura and Jerik 3/26/16 – Bachelor Farmer (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony exceeded our expectations and made the event so great!  Perfect fit for our style and met all our requests.  It was a great night. When putting together a wedding, things get stressful as there is a running checklist of thousands of things that need to be done and accounted for, Instant Request provided us a service and essentially did everything for us.  It wasn’t a hassle by any stretch of the imagination – it was a nice to not have anything to worry about.    

Alanna and Adam 3/19/16 – Radisson Hotel Roseville (Randy Grubba)

Randy Grubba, our DJ, exceeded all my expectations as our DJ. He was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. He was friendly, outgoing, and always kept us on time with the reception events! You could not have picked a better DJ for us!   What I liked best about Instant Request was that the event planner was all online and that we never had to meet in person multiple times with the DJ to go over the wedding. Having so many other appointments with other wedding vendors this made the DJ aspect of the wedding a breeze. Not only that but the staff and DJ were both super nice over the phone and email, making me much more relaxed and excited about the event!  I would recommend Instant Request to all my friends getting married who want a great DJ at their event!

Jennifer and David 3/12/16 – Fountains of Ramsey (Andy McClure)

Instant request did a fabulous job at our wedding. We worked with Andy! We used instant request for both the ceremony and the reception. Andy communicated with me before wedding and helped me to pick music for my ceremony. He showed up early and was ready when the ceremony started. We had some younger kids at our wedding and Andy did a wonderful job with them. We didn’t have many people dancing but Andy kept the party alive all night long. Andy was super flexible and allowed me to make changes until the last minute. I would highly recommend instant request for your next party or wedding. I was 100% satisfied with their service!!

Pahoua Sweet 16 Party 3/12/16 – Marquette Place Apartments (Bret Christiansen)

Last night couldn’t have gone better and most of the fun that was had was due to Bret. He created the club atmosphere our niece wanted for her Sweet 16 and could not have been nicer or more attentive to our requests. It was an excellent decision on your part to assign him to our party. I would recommend him and your company without hesitation.

 

Lacey and Jesse 2/27/16 – Solar Arts Building (Anthony DuBose)

Now that we’re back in the country and sorting out our lives as a married couple, we wanted to send you a huge THANK YOU for doing a fantastic job at our wedding on Feb 27! You read the crowd perfectly and had people dancing all night long, which was exactly what we requested. People were absolutely raving about you, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had your services on hand.Thanks again, and we’ll be suggesting you to any of our friends getting married and looking for an amazing DJ!  

Aubrie and Steve 2/20/16 – Calhoun Beach Club (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was fabulous!! We gave him a lot of control with the music he played and he kept the guests on the dance floor! We have heard great feedback about him since the wedding from our guests. He also did a wonderful job helping Steve out with his surprise song he sang to me at the reception. I loved that I knew Steve, my parents and I would not have to worry about anything. Anthony was calm, experienced and trusted. He took the appropriate time during his in-person meeting with Steve and me to ask any information he may need for the day of. We knew we were in good hands and that was a very comforting feeling! Your DJ can make or break your wedding. I have had two friends already booked with you after we booked at the end of Summer! Coming from the wedding industry, we knew you were the best and will continue to spread the word about our experience with you. We appreciated all of Anthony’s hard work and time! We had an incredible day and were so happy to have Instant Request as part of it!

Breanna and Andy 2/6/16 – Marriott Minneapolis Airport (Justin Roff)

Justin Roff was perfect. He was professional, high energy, polite, and talented. He played a great mix of songs we had in the playlist and mixed some of his own in there. He knew when to play what, and to string similar songs together. Very good DJ voice, and good at commanding a crowd. I simply couldn’t have asked for a better DJ.  

Christina and William 1/30/16 – McNamara Alumni Center (Charlie DuBois)

Charles suited our style very well, he exceeded expectations! He was approachable and fun.  Sound and lighting were wonderful, and added a very special element to the space. McNamara is a tougher building, acoustically, but you couldn’t even tell. We liked how easy everything was, and the insane price break we got from the McNamara Wedding Showcase! It felt like we were getting a really quality service for a total bargain price. We had so many comments afterwards that the DJ was putting them back on a “workout plan,” because they couldn’t stop dancing with all the good music. It was exactly what we wanted.  Probably the biggest value of all our vendors, given the discount we received. I’d still suggest paying full price to others, but can’t complain about the discount!    

Nadia and Joseph 1/23/16 – James J Hill Reference Library (Eric Darling)

Eric EXCEEDED all expectations.  He was wonderful and a perfect fit for our style and made it a beautiful night with great music

Heather and Craig 1/23/16 – McNamara Alumni Center (Rick Ausland)

We chose to get a Black Tie DJ and we were extremely impressed with Rick Ausland. He went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. When we had our Face-to-Face meeting we knew that we were going to be in good hands and that he was a perfect match.  We had a great time just at the meeting and talking over the styles of music we enjoyed. Turned out he enjoyed a lot of the same categories of music we did. As former pep band members music has been our whole life. Rick was great on the day of as well. He played all of our music we had planned out even things we had forgotten about. He helped our night move very smoothly. He was professional and helped us have a fun time. All of our guests said he was amazing as well. He made sure to fit in some the songs they were requesting as well and everyone love how fun and outgoing he was. I would recommend him to anyone of my friends and family who are looking for a great DJ. The music sounded great it really filled the hall out nicely. Not too loud and right on balance. I have been to many weddings and that seems to be something that a lot of the DJ services don’t take into consideration, the size and quality of the sound of the room. Sometimes it was too loud for the space or the music system was set up and it bounced off walls funny and didn’t sound good. For our wedding everything sounded amazing. The lighting was even more spectacular than I was hoping it would be. It really showed off our beautiful venue in all of its glory. The colors really fit in with our theme. I received so many compliments on how great they made everything look.The best part about Instant Request was how professional everyone was. Over all of the communications I had the top priority of everyone at Instant Request was that my day was just how I wanted it. This is an amazing quality in any service. Customer service was not just their goal it was their priority. I am truly grateful for that. I thought the pricing was a Great Value! We got way more than expected for what we paid, in service, quality, and a great product. They truly care about every aspect of their company and nothing is left to question. We looked at many companies, some may have been cheaper but nothing could compare to anything we received through Instant Request.

Kendall and Anthony 1/2/16 – Minnesota Boat Club (Jimmy Bogen)

My husband and I recently got married and we worked with Jimmy from Instant Request as our DJ. The whole thing was so simple, which was wonderful amidst all the craziness of wedding planning! They have a great online planner that helps them match you with a DJ. Then nearer to the date we had a phone meeting with Jimmy, our DJ. We talked through the different parts of the reception, the introduction, toasts, first dance, etc. He worked with our venue to coordinate set-up and tear down details and at the wedding itself, he did a fantastic job. The planner allows you to specify how outgoing or chatty you want the DJ to be–we wanted a pretty conservative DJ and LOTS of dancing. Jimmy delivered exactly what we were hoping for. He did a great job of gaging the dance floor, picking songs from the long list I had put together, taking requests, etc. The fewer things you have to think about on your wedding day the better, and working with Jimmy and instant request, I didn’t have to think or worry about the music or mic at all!

Becky and Steve 1/2/16 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (Justin Roff)

Justin was a GREAT fit!! He did exactly what I asked him to. He had great energy, and kept everybody wanting to dance until the end of the night. He did a great job reading the crowd, and playing music that would keep everyone dancing. What I liked best about Instant Request, is the quality of the DJ. He was professional, fun, flexible, and listened to what we wanted. He felt like a friend. I know all of your DJs are probably great, but when I recommend Instant Request, I recommend that they ask for Justin.

 

Alicia and Chris 12/19/15 – Profile Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

Thank you so much for everything the night of our reception.  Anthony picked out some great music to keep the party alive.  We couldn’t have asked for a better night of music.  Everyone had an amazing night.    

Stephanie & Casey 12/5/2015 – St. Paul Athletic Club (Jimmy Bogen)

We were very happy with Jimmy as our DJ! He set up a call before the wedding to make sure he knew how we wanted everything to go. He had suggestions where we needed them, but was also completely open to our ideas.
We liked how easy going and fun he was. At our wedding he was there plenty early to set up and worked with the personal attendants on where everything was happening. We only saw him in passing before the wedding, and he had everything under control. It was so nice we didn’t need to worry about anything.
And the most important part to us–the dance–was so much fun with Jimmy! He really knew what to do to get the crowd dancing. We had a FULL dance floor from the time the dance started until we shut it down at midnight. He didn’t just get our young friends on the dance floor, but also had our parents friends and older relatives out there with us.
Afterwards, we received so many compliments about Jimmy! Everyone loved his energy, the music, the song transitions. We were very glad he was our DJ and would recommend him to anyone!

Laura & Josh 12/5/2015 – St. Paul College Club (Scott Wilkie)

We had a winter wedding so got a significant discount on the price of the DJ service. We were very impressed with the service from the beginning. The representatives were easy to work with and didn’t pressure us at all. We actually chose the company based on the website- it was so easy to use. I loved that we were able to fill out a questionnaire about all of the details of our wedding so that we could be matched up with the most fitting DJ. Our DJ, Scott, was amazing- the dance floor was packed the entire night, and we got so many compliments on how fun the dance was and what a great DJ we had. We were able to make our own playlist, which we appreciated, and Scott added more songs and requests that were appropriate for the mood of the crowd. He played all night- from the start of cocktail hour through dinner, and of course through the last song. He was respectful and professional and fun all at the same time. I would highly recommend Instant Request (and Scott!)!!

Kelly & Brian 11/28/2015 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Justin Roff)

So pleased with Instant Request and our DJ Justin! I would definitely recommend Instant Request for a wedding DJ. Their website is easy to use and provides endless samples of music to listen to. It can also be used to plan your music for your entire night. Our DJ, Justin, contacted us before the event and reviewed everything with us. After speaking with him we had complete faith in his ability to make the night awesome. He was a great MC for the night to get the speeches and dancing going and knew how to read the crowd perfectly to keep people out on the dance floor. My feet are still recovering from all the dancing I did in my rented tux shoes 🙂

Mary and Anthony 11/28/15 – 413 on Wacouta Event Center (Bengi Durgunoglu)

We had “Benji” as our DJ, and he was fun & professional.  He definitely  was able to judge the crowd accurately and keep the dance floor full all night.  Great DJ!  Very easy to work with.  All of my inquires were addressed right away.  Benji was very accommodating as well…it was nice to be able to talk with him before the wedding so that everything went smoothly.

Kelsey and Derek 11/14/15 – Events in Kasson (Natalie Jensen)

Natalie was perfect. Great personality, good taste in music, knew when to go with faster/slower songs. We liked how easy everything was, and most of all, how great our DJ was.

Elizabeth and Joe 11/14/15 – McNamara Alumni Center (Eric Darling)

We loved the event planner.  It was simplistic and easy to navigate. It was great to get to put in our own music requests. Eric was absolutely fantastic.  Before the wedding he was very insightful and friendly.  During the wedding he was very approachable, he was easy going.  Our guests had a blast at the dance due to him!  We LOVED working with him. He kept the sound at a great noise level so that we could still have conversations with family and enjoy the dance. A friend recommended your services to us and I would recommend to anyone getting married.

Dylan and Connor 11/14/15 – Carlson Towers Rotunda & Amphitheater (Jimmy Bogen)

The office staff was friendly, accommodating, timely and extremely helpful with e-mails and phone calls.
The online event planner software was very useful. It was really helpful in organizing the music for all the different parts of our day and the sample playlists were great. Our DJ, Jimmy, was great. He fit our style perfectly and completely listened to our likes and dislikes on the day-of, even when many people were requesting songs on our “do not play” list, which was much appreciated. What we liked best about Instant Request was our DJ. He was a perfect match for us and we enjoyed working with him. We also enjoyed the level of experience and professionalism at Instant Request in general. It made us feel like we were in good hands and it was one less area of our wedding to worry about. There was nothing we were disappointed in whatsoever. We thought Instant Request’s pricing was GREAT. We were initially meeting with another vendor who tried to tell us we needed double the lights that Instant Request said we needed to achieve the same effect. We felt like they were just trying to up-sell us and get us to spend as much as possible. We never felt that way working with Instant Request.    

Amy and Brett 11/14/15 – Mill City Museum (Kailen Nelson)

Kailen was awesome, did a amazing job, and I would recommend him to friends as well I was amazed at how great the DJ was, he kept people on the dance floor and the song changes were seamless.  Couldn’t have asked for more 

Misha and Peter 11/14/15 – Millennium Hotel (Ben Nordquist)

Thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty to make our wedding night entirely perfect! You Rock!

Carly and Doug 11/14/15 – Holiday Inn and Suites in Lakeville (Greg Briggs)

Greg Briggs was awesome- many, many compliments from guests with what a great job he did.

Kaylynn and Tom 11/10/15 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (Rick Ausland)

Rick A. was AMAZING – The guy kept people on the dance floor all night long, and knew what to play and when to play it. His commentary was fun and colorful and I would hands down recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ.  Both the sound and uplighting were great. Uplighting helped set the mood and finished off the room nicely.  Rick A. was great – the DJ makes all the difference in the world at a wedding, they keep the party going. He was easily the best part of Instant Request for our day. Great price for what we got. We were extremely happy with it all.

Samantha and Bryan 11/10/15 – Majestic Oaks Golf Club (Ben Nordquist)

Dealing with Instant Request was a very easy process from start to finish. The online event planner was very useful. Especially having the suggested playlists which made it much easier to decide on things.    -Ben was awesome, very sweet guy who played music that fit our taste and style. He even took time to write us a card appreciating the wedding ceremony and whatnot. I would highly recommend him! I truly appreciated how IR accommodated our needs for the wedding day and working with our budget. Between that, the ease of the event planner, and our awesome DJ, I am pleased with the entire experience

Natalie & Casey 11/7/2015 – Lafayette Club (Ryan LaRue)

Ryan LaRue did an AMAZING job at our wedding. I’ve been to a lot of weddings and never have I seen so many people rush to the dance floor for the first song of the night. He was considerate of our music must-plays and really nailed the music from cocktail hour, dinner to the dance party. I had so many people from the wedding rave about the music and how much fun they had dancing, and of course Casey and I had a blast! From the lighting to the music, Ryan really made our night extra special and lots of fun. He is awesome! Thank you for asking about Ryan and for our friends that are engaged, they all know to use Instant Request. 🙂

Kari and Patrick 10/31/15 – CHS Field (Jimmy Bogen)

Jimmy was perfect. The sound and lighting setup exceeded expectations.Jimmy was the bomb and everyone I talked to was extremely well spoken, organized, and professional.  I was confident that I was working with people who knew what they were doing    

Abby & Paul 10/30/2015 – Green Acres Event Center (Anthony DuBose)

Anthony was amazing!! I received so many compliments on the great music that was played…I gave Anthony somewhat of a direction, but not much and he took it from there and hit it out of the park! He was very nice and outgoing. Yes I would recommend Instant Request DJ and to request Anthony! GIVE THAT MAN A RAISE! Really……he needs a big one!

Jessica & Derek 10/30/2015 – Edina Country Club (Zach Bayerl)

Zach was great! He was super friendly starting with our phone call and he did a great job keeping the dance floor full! Super easy to work with, affordable and great DJ!

Lisa & Tyler 10/24/2015 – Crowne Plaza Northstar Downtown Minneapolis (Jimmy Bogen)

You guys were awesome and Jimmy did a tremendous job with the wedding. Everything from the online event planner, lighting and the DJ’s interaction with everyone were second to none. We will recommend you guys highly to anyone for any function. Thanks again for helping make our wedding a truly special event.

Chelsey and Kyle 10/24/15 – Day Block Event Center (Nate Anderson)

We wanted to select more than one “genre” for the cocktail hour, and we were able to discuss that with Nate in our meeting. Nate was awesome and definitely met our expectations and was a good fit for us. He was very professional, paid attention to detail, and was willing to be flexible.

Emily and Hieu 10/24/15 – Lafayette Club (Eric Darling)

We got paired up with Eric who was an awesome DJ that took care of us very well. I really appreciated that he was very accommodating of some scheduling change-ups we had for the entrance and greetings. He played a nice blend of music from his selection as well as songs we requested on the Online Planner (including all but a few of the “Must-plays”, which we were fine with). Also, we ordered DJ uplighting and ceiling texture lighting. They were a bit expensive, but in the end, the purchase was worth it for adding that “WOW” factor to the room and to get people in the right mood. The night was fun and festive thanks to Eric and Instant Request. These guys are definitely the go-to for a wedding DJ that will get your night done right!

Katelyn and Daniel 10/23/15 – Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel (Kailen Nelson)

Kailen did a great job of getting people to dance and played songs in a great order. People commented on how they thought it was great that he played more family-friendly songs right away and more current music later on. The lights were beautiful and the sound was excellent. Kailen was very easy to work with and provided great customer service all the way through the process.

Kaley and Brett 10/17/15 – MN History Center (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi was our DJ and he absolutely met and exceeded our expectations!! He was so friendly, fun, and accommodating to our requests. He kept the dance floor packed all night long! His DJ services were one of the main things that made our wedding reception so memorable! The planning software was very user friendly! We loved that we could specify the type of DJ that we wanted and a general idea of the music we wanted played at our wedding. We also liked that the software made it easy to select the type of music we didn’t want played. The best part about instant request was that you really can customize the type of experience that you want and then have a DJ assigned based on that. Bengi was so friendly during his interview call and the wedding reception itself. He was able to give us really good recommendations ahead of time (e.g. whether or not to do a dollar dance, how long those typically last, etc, how to handle father/daughter and step-father/daughter first dances) and those were really important to us and we appreciated his professional opinion. The pricing was fair and the service we received was outstanding.

Ashley and Nick 10/17/15 – Edina Country Club (Justin Roff)

We had a great experience with instant request DJ! We upgraded to the black tie DJ and it was definitely worth it! Guests were on the dance floor all night and the dance floor was overflowing! It was perfect and reasonably priced!  

Lauren and Matthew 10/17/15 – Clyde Ironworks in Duluth (Kailen Nelson)

Merry Christmas from the new Mr. and Mrs. Schulz! We cannot thank you enough for your incredible job DJing at our wedding.  The dance floor was always full and everyon had an incredible time.  Thank you for sharing in our joy as we celebrated the new chapter in our lives. Warm Wishes,  

Marissa and Joseph 10/17/15 – Earle Brown Heritage Center (Robert Hayles)

Robert was a great entertainer and made sure to keep the music choices fit the mood we were going for. He understood what we were going for, listened to our specific requests and made sure our guests also got to request some songs! We didn’t add any extra sound or lighting, but what we had was perfect! Our guests were always on the dance floor and never said it was “too loud” like we’ve heard at other weddings. Great sound quality for the open space we had! Also, there weren’t too many strobe/flashing lights that can sometimes be a bit much!  Everything about the planning was simple and efficient. Our guests had a great time and we loved the music…one of the most important parts of our wedding day! The price was very good for the quality of service we received! I was referred here by my sister and another close friend and will be passing the good reviews on! Compared to other DJs we looked into and other experiences our friends have had with their weddings, I think we got a great price for the value! Robert was great and look forward to passing along a referral to friends in the future!

Missy and Brian 10/16/15 – Dellwood Barn (Anthony DuBose)

The office staff was wonderful, always prompt with sending emails and adding things last minute when we needed it..  We found the event planner VERY helpful.  Great tool to have for song suggestions and loved how it walked you through the process and kept you on track. .  Anthony D was absolutely perfect for us.  We were beyond happy with his professionalism, fun upbeat personality, punctuality, organization, and great music selection/skills!  He was always quick to reply to any questions/concerns I had and took extra time on the phone with me to walk through our entire day to make sure everything was perfect.  Not once did I ever see him not smiling!  We had complete trust in him and he delivered! The sound and lighting were great.  Even outdoors with the wind blowing it was easy to hear the music. .  It’s difficult to pick my favorite thing about Instant Request.  From the quick and courteous emails from the front office, the helpful online event planner to the best DJ and great quality sound, as a whole the Instant Request team was seamless and a pleasure to work with.  The only thing I didn’t care for was that the day and night ended so quick!   I will aboslutel recommend Instant Request to others.  I already have 3 friends/family weddings in 2016 and will be giving them your information. THANK YOU again Shawn, Matt, Anthony D and everyone else at Instant Request for providing a great quality service for the biggest and best day of our lives!  

Jenny and Reece 10/10/15 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Brandon Holland)

Brandon was AWESOME!! We literally had the dance floor full the entire night because our DJ made sure he played music that everyone liked and kept them dancing all night long. Our DJ, Brandon, was fantastic and had such a great vibe all night.

Brook and Brandon 10/4/15 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Alex Knight)

Thank you to you & your team for making Brook & Brandon’s wedding such a success! I cannot say enough good things about Alex. He was professional, helped me with anything I asked & handled the rogue bridesmaid singing the first dance like a pro- haha! I hope to work together again in the future.    

Emily and Mike 10/3/15 – BayView Event Center (Ryan Weber)

Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. The online tool made the whole process very simple and easy to work through. Our DJ fully met our expectations and fit well with the theme of our wedding. The dance floor was packed for the majority of the evening 🙂 I really appreciated the fact that we were able to really customize everything to fit our wedding theme, personalities, families, etc. It was great to have a say in this part of the process.

Kayla and Sam 10/3/16 – Cannon River Winnery (Bengi Durgunoglu)

Bengi was great! We received a lot of compliments on the music he played and he kept the dance floor busy. Everyone also loved the shoe game questions.

Tracy & Cory 10/3/15 – St. Patrick’s Church in Oak Grove (Andy McClure)

Andy met and exceeded my expectations. He did an amazing job. I would highly recommend you guys. Andy kept the party going. We got lots of compliments from our guests.

Amy and Peter 10/3/15 – Weisman Art Museum (Joshua Burkett)

The event planner was very useful. It made us think through a lot of timing issues and order of events throughout the night. It also made us feel more confident collaborating with the DJ and that everything would be covered. Our DJ Joshua was great. He was very responsive and helpful throughout the night and had a great read on the room. He played a nice variety of music and kept the energy up and really delivered on the day of. Couldn’t be happier. We booked quite early and you were offering a special discounted rate, but even without that I think it would be a great value.

 

April and Jack 10/2/15 – Grand Event Center in Northfiled (Charlie DuBois)

The online event planner was useful in that it helped us walk through every step of our reception, including many things and details we hadn’t thought about.  It is a little tedious, but I think that’s necessary because spending more time on the front end in really completing the planner thoroughly, made for a seamless event on our wedding day.  The time we spent putting in to our planner was well worth it, and having the flexibility to change a song or two if needed, even up to day-of our wedding, was amazing (thanks to Charlie, our DJ!). Charlie was professional, engaging, fun, and reliable.  He did what we asked and when we needed it (especially the time-sensitive entrances and dances), and was spot-on.  We really appreciated his attention to detail and timing. The dance floor had a great energy with the uplighting too, I think everyone enjoyed that touch. Charlie played great songs, he was a fun DJ, reliable, great price, easy to get a hold of someone if we had any questions or concerns. Both my husband and I were very pleased with our choice to go with Instant Request for our wedding. We got a great deal because our wedding was on a Friday night instead of a Saturday night, which really helped seal the deal for us.  We had a great experience working with Instant Request, and were very pleased with the services and DJ (as were our guests!).      

Chelsea & Nate 9/26/2015 – James J. Hill Reference Library (Nate Anderson)

We cannot say enough positive feedback out DJ Nate Anderson. Nate was truly a joy to work with and we received terrific feedback about Nate’s DJ work from friends and family at our reception. Nate was flexible where it mattered and recommended excellent songs and other aspects of our reception that we adopted and that turned out to be spot on. I would hire Nate to DJ an event in a heartbeat and would enthusiastically recommend Nate to anyone.

Tiffany and Louis 9/19/15 – Airlake Airport in Lakeville (Josh Perkins)

Thank you for such a great experience. Our DJ was amazing and friendly. He entertained our crowd and we all had a blast. Thank you for being a part of our big day!

Jenna and Aaron 9/12/15 – Wild Marsh Golf Club (Andrew Najafalipour)

Instant Request was awesome – our DJ, Andrew, was very attentive to what was going on throughout the night. He made sure all of our requested songs were played, but also read the crowd quite well.

Allison and Peter 9/12/15 – Rush Creek Golf Club (Joey Atkinson)

We never had any issue getting in touch with any of the office staff.  They were very friendly when I came in to sign with Instant Request, and when I had questions afterwards they were always available and helpful. We enjoyed using the software and getting to create our own playlist.  No suggestions – it is really user friendly, and fun to use. Our DJ (Joey A) was awesome!  Friends and family said the music was great, and that the DJ was able to sense the crowd, and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night.  He also touched base with my husband and I multiple times during the night to make sure we were happy with the music.  We have recommended him to anyone we know who is using Instant Request.We continue to recommend Instant Request, and specifically Joey A to all of our friends who are getting married. We have friends who have gotten married and have paid double what we did.  We got a very good price from the wedding fair, and it was well worth it!

Sarah and Joe 9/5/15 – Science Museum of MN (Joey Atkinson)

We booked Instant Request when they were running a promotion, the price seemed pretty reasonable. Since our ceremony and reception were in the same location and no extra setup was required, they were willing to throw in microphones for the ceremony at no extra charge. They also would have played music for it but we were able to find some musicians last minute. The planning piece was pretty easy/low stress thanks to the online planner that we filled out ahead of time and call we had with the DJ to finalize details the week before. We had Joey A. as our DJ and thought he did a great job keeping people on the dance floor, helping keep the timeline on track, and making any announcements that we requested. Would recommend!

Jennifer and Brian 8/22/15 – Carlson Towers (Eric Malmberg)

We loved our DJ and are still getting compliments about him. He was a great fit for our style.  Eric was very accommodating and great at his job

Elizabeth & Anthony 8/21/2015 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Nate Anderson)

Our DJ Nate A was BEYOND amazing. He did music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The entire night our music was on point. During the reception, the dance floor was CONSTANTLY packed. My husband and I said that one of our main priorities for our wedding was to have a DJ that made our wedding fun and Nate went above and beyond that!! To this day our guests have been commenting how amazing our reception specifically was and what a fantastic DJ we had. We also used Instant Request for lighting and that was great as well!! Thank you so much Instant Request!!

Anna and Derek 8/7/15 – Minneapolis Golf Club (Zach Bayerl)

Zach was awesome. By far the best DJ we’ve had at a wedding. It made it a fun party atmosphere
Hands down our DJ was the best part of the night. You could tell it wasn’t work for him. He was having fun with us and we have received many compliments on him since the wedding.

Natalie and Matt 7/18/15 – Residence (Charlie Mitchell)

Overall we could not have been happier with Instant Request and mostly our DJ Charlie – he was amazing. Since the wedding I can’t even count the number of people who have commented how good of a job Charlie did. He was fun, professional, and really made the night. The event planner software was very useful – it was a bit daunting getting through all the tabs, but we were very happy with the end product The DJ did not meet our expectations – he far exceeded them. Charlie was fantastic! He could not have been a more perfect fit for our event. The sound and lighting were great – which was more impressive given the wedding was in the middle of a field.

Jessica and Colin 7/31/15 – Harriet Island Pavilion (Rick Ausland)

Thank you for being such a kickass dj.  You totally killed it.  The two of us and all 250 of our guest thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Thanks to the great energy and jams you brought to our reception.  If you ever need a referral from a happy customer, you know how to reach us.  Thanks again!  Wishing you all the best and happy holidays

Trisha & Ricky 6/29/2015 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (DJ Jason Q)

The online software was extremely easy to use and fun to be able to pick out songs we felt were appropriate for our wedding. The DJ was great, he was able to read our crowd and played music that everyone enjoyed as well as picked the party up when things slowed down. The sound and lighting were perfect for our venue and everyone had a great time.
We enjoyed how easy it was to get things lined up and taken care of. Weddings are extremely time consuming and take a lot of planning and Instant Request was very simple and easy to use. We would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a DJ. The price was absolutely one of the best things about Instant Request. It was within our budget and met/exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Alyssa & Ryan 6/20/2015 – Lusten Resort (DJ Kristofer S)

I wanted to let you know that we had an awesome time and that your DJ rocked it! The office staff was very helpful. No matter who answered the phone, I was always able to get my questions answered. Kristofer absolutely killed the reception! So much fun! That you made it easy. I did not have to constantly check status or direct the flow of the music at all. We also liked how the DJ was dressed appropriately for a wedding and was not “flashy” or intrusive.

Amanda & Michael 6/20/2015 – St. Paul College Club (DJ Sean H)

Epic Awesomeness: I flippin love our DJ!! He was great, listened to the things we wanted and the things we didn’t and totally made it feel like her own. The company as a whole was great too. They were very accommodating and were able to answer tons of our questions. They even were able to play a song that my fiancé recorded and incorporated it into our ceremony and dance. Reasonably priced; a definite must if you’re still looking!!

Miranda & Ken 6/20/2015 – FIVE Event Center (DJ Alex L)

Alex surpassed our expectations. He was awesome and many of our guests young and old, sang his praises. We really liked the ease of the online interface for booking, paying, coordinating, was great too!

Rachel & Dustin 6/20/2015 – Café Lurcat (DJ John A)

We had a wonderful evening and everything worked out as best we could have ever anticipated it to!
On behalf of Rachel and myself we would like to extend our gratitude to you and your company for being a part of our evening! John was everything we could have anticipated and he performed professionally and accommodated each of our requests as the evening wore on without question. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for professional DJ services for any kind of event or wedding.

Steph & Markus 6/19/2015 – Rush Creek Golf Club (DJ Justin R)

OUR DJ CRUSHED it, Justin was awesome. Above and beyond expectations. Perfect fit. Good value for a huge part of the wedding, never go cheap on the DJ.

Amy & Tim 6/14/2015 – Bauhaus Brew Labs (DJ Anthony D)

Everything went very well and is much appreciated. I have nothing but positive feedback for the office staff and especially Anthony. The online stuff was simple and worked out very well. The playlist was followed. I can answer all questions specifically if you would like but it was a five star experience not much else needs to be said. Thanks again for everyone who contributed to making our reception a memorable one!

Ashley & David 6/13/15 – MN History Center (DJ Bengi D)

We decided to use Instant Request for our DJ and for our Uplighting for our wedding! It was very important for us to have a fun feel as an end to our formal wedding and with our young crowd we wanted a company that could deliver that feel. First for the uplighting we had seen the work they had done in our ceremony space and loved how they were able to transform a formal museum into a party space with the use of lighting. The night of it was perfect and gave the room the feeling we were looking for. For the DJ we couldn’t have been happier with the process. After filling out our preference sheet we were matched with Benji, who from the first phone call was so much fun! We wanted a DJ who could read the room and know what the crowd needed in order to keep them on the dance floor and happy. Benji was able to take the lead with some of our recommendations and get our whole group on the dance floor and keep them there until the final song. It was so nice having someone who really looked at what people wanted and used that to help him select each and every song instead of just sticking to a basic playlist. It was nice to see a company that could select from so many of their staff to bring you exactly what you wanted from your DJ experience. Everyone on the staff, both that we saw that day and worked with to set up everything over email, was so responsive and professional we were impressed every step of the way.

Sarah & Paul 6/13/2015 – Fountain Room in the Lumber Exchange Building (DJ Eric H)

Eric Humphreys was AWESOME! We had the dance floor full from the first song right through the last. Eric got our style and we loved the music. Our DJ was great and the planning process was easy with the event planner online.

Alexandra & Chad 6/13/2015 – Winehaven Winery in Chisago City (DJ John A)

We can’t brag enough about our experience working with John Archila from Instant Request! He was on top of everything and delivered beyond expectations. Communication was timely and helpful, the online event planner was an absolute lifesaver, and we may be biased, but our DJ was the best. We paid a small additional fee to reserve a Black Tie DJ and we are SO glad we did! Everything was incredible and EASY, which is exactly what every couple planning a wedding hopes for. John ensured that everything ran smoothly on the big day, kept the entire crowd dancing, and went out of his way to make sure my husband and I were having a great time. It was obvious that he is very passionate about his work and was genuinely excited to be a part of our day. We even found a note in my purse at the end of the night from him thanking us for letting him DJ our event! THANK YOU John (you are so talented!) and Instant Request for everything you did to make our wedding so special. We would highly recommend Instant Request to any couple planning their wedding!

Michaela & Mike 6/12/2015 – Hilton MSP Airport Mall of America (DJ John A)

We never had a bad experience when talking with office staff. Everyone we talked to responded quickly and they were very cordial when we had questions.
The event planner was extremely helpful. Using that software, we were able to nail down all the details and along with the DJs help of course, give our guests one heck of a good time.
John did an amazing job and had the dance floor FILLED the whole night. The color the up lights provided was amazing and the sound was great. People could have conversations in the back as it wasn’t too over bearing, but still plenty loud for the folks dancing. Everything was on point.

Juliana and Jeff 6/12/2015 – Windows on Minnesota (DJ Steve F)

My sister and two of my best friends used Instant Request for their wedding so I knew I was signing up for a quality experience and boy did they deliver. Steve, our DJ was amazing. I had people texting me the next day saying they had never stayed on the dance floor for so many consecutive songs ha-ha! They were prompt, professional and easy to work with through the whole experience. Would recommend them to anyone!!

Nicole & Alex 6/6/2015 – Medina Golf & Country Club (DJ Natalie J)

We’d like to let you know that our DJ, Natalie Jensen, did an absolutely fantastic job for our wedding. We were more than satisfied with her music selection, crowd reading, and her attention to keeping us in the loop over the course of the night. We always felt like we were in control. She worked through the kinks in the night seamlessly.
As for the office staff, we were pleased as well. For the most part, our questions were answered thoughtfully and promptly. We did feel like we got a decent deal on our night. We booked pretty early on, so the price was relatively low.
Overall, we were very happy. We would recommend IR to friends.

 

Anne & Nick 6/5/2015 Aster Café (DJ Rick A)

Rick was AWESOME! We would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding in the twin cities. He was professional and very easy to get along with. Most of all, he delivered on his promise to get people on the dance floor 🙂
I liked that most of the communication was done online and the software really let us communicate our style/choices before being paired with a DJ. We were on the fence about having a DJ or just plugging in an iPod and we’re SO glad we ended up using Instant Request and Rick!

Jessica & Andrew 5/30/2015 – Lafayette Club (DJ Rick A)

The online event planner was helpful to fill out prior to meeting with our assigned DJ so we could tweak it with him. Rick did an exceptional job reading the crowd to adjust music to keep people on the dance floor.

Lindsay & Reid 5/30/2015 – Dancing Dragonfly Winery (DJ Ryan W)

Absolutely! They followed up quickly and were very knowledgeable about all of our questions. I loved the online event planner, I was pretty particular with my music and being able to lay out specific songs I wanted played just took that stress off my plate. We had a last minute beat box performance and Ryan was so accommodating! He also knew when it was a good time to talk to the bride and groom without interrupting or needing a lot of direction.
Instant Request was a great value compared to other DJ’s I researched.

Dani & John 5/30/2015 – Keller Clubhouse (DJ Steve J)

Our DJ was a perfect fit!

Laura & Michael 5/30/2015 – Minikahda Club (DJ Austin S)

Our DJ was perfect. He kept the dance floor packed until midnight.

Lindsey and Duane 5/30/2015 – Water Street Inn (DJ Nate A)

We used Instant Request for our ceremony and our reception on 5/30/15. Our DJ, Nate A., was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very organized and prepared, and was able to get the crowd up and dancing. He read the crowd super well, even with a large range of ages. He brought details to our attention that we might have overlooked in the planning process. He listened to everything we wanted, and made it happen! Instant Request is very detail oriented because they want to make sure everything runs smoothly. They kept in constant contact with us since the beginning, and were readily available whenever we had questions. The online system they use for gathering all of the wedding day details, such as ceremony music, timing, wedding party, first dances, grand marches, toasts, etc., made our planning very easy and stress free. We were able to pick out certain songs that we marked as ‘must play’, and they had their personal recommendations for songs along the way. Overall, Nate was a hit! He did a fabulous job, and had people dancing until close. We would highly recommend Instant Request (and Nate A.) if you are looking for an amazing DJ.

Kyndra & Ryan 5/24/2015 – Minnesota Valley Country Club (DJ Bengi D)

Our favorite part was having Bengi be our DJ. Bengi was very confident and organized which made us feel comfortable to not worry about the music at all. We knew Bengi had everything under control. Bengi was amazing and very very professional. He was exactly what we wanted in a DJ with being experienced, keeping the party going, and always accommodating to our needs. His ability to read the crowd as well as personality were a perfect fit for our party.
Sound Was great all night. There were no problems at all, very smooth transitions from music to people speaking for speeches.

Meghan & Andrew 5/23/2015 – Dellwood Country Club (DJ Jason F)

The DJ did such an excellent job! The music they played was exactly what we had requested.

Joan & Andy 5/23/2015 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony, with Instant Request, was the BEST DJ ever! We met him at a wedding fair and immediately booked him to be our DJ. He is so much fun, and so relaxed, he wanted to make sure we had the best time at our reception and really worked with us to make that happen. He was so accommodating, we wanted to have a customized playlist during our cocktail hour and dinner hour and he was totally open to that. We had a planning meeting with him to go over everything, which was really helpful. He walked us through our first dances, the wedding party introductions, anything we had questions on. Anthony was a lot of fun, I’m so happy we chose him and Instant Request!

Greg & John 5/23/2015 – Mill City Museum (DJ Jimmy B)

The whole process was easy. I didn’t feel like I needed to be checking in a ton before or the day of the wedding – everything was taken care of. The DJ was great. Wedding guests all commented how much they enjoyed the music.

Hannah & Nathan 5/23/2015 – Crowne Plaza Minneapolis West (DJ Joshua B)

The DJ far exceeded our expectations. He was excellent in meeting with our needs. He kept the dance floor hopping the entire night, even after we (the bride and groom) left.

Kate & Peter 5/16/2015 – Christos Union Depot Place (DJ John A)

John A was amazing – he kept the dance floor going all night and was a great fit to our style. We got tons of compliments on how great the DJ was and how much fun everyone had because of him. Instant Request gave and their quick responsiveness to things we needed, John A also kept in touch with me (the bride) all night to make sure our needs were being met. The staff was very accommodating with our tricky schedules.

Marissa & Matt 5/16/2015 – 5120 Restaurant and Onyx Bar (DJ Joey A)

We loved the DJ. Joey was a great person. He was always making sure we ready for everything and that everything was okay. If we had questions, he was there and ready to help. He did an amazing job at helping our niece “teaching” her how to use the DJ booth. The online event planner was great. It was easy to use and I loved how it was set up.

Nicole & David 5/16/2015 – Lowertown Event Center (DJ Eric M)

Ease of planning. With everything else going on in the planning phase, instant request provided the tools to easily manage the sound and lighting. Also, being able to meet the DJ was a great experience and we knew we would be well taken care of after meeting!

Tiffany & Scott 5/16/2015 – Minneapolis Event Centers (DJ Anthony D)

We like when our DJ really read the crowd and switched up the music when it needed to be. Everyone was very friendly.

Lindsey & Robert 5/16/2015 – Tartan Park (DJ Josh P)

We both loved the online event planner and it really helped us format our special day and how we wanted. The staff was very friendly and responded promptly to any questions I had regarding your services.
Josh our DJ was awesome. He did a great job keeping the dance floor full of people all night and everyone that we talked to had a blast. He was a great fit for our style of wedding. We both loved the online event planner and the flexibility of the DJ. We also liked how our DJ was able to read the crowd and keep people dancing for most of the night.

Julie & Pam 5/15/2015 – U of M Arboretum in Chaska (DJ Brandon H)

Brandon was great to work with and very accommodating to our requests. Very accommodating and Brandon was great to work with both before on the phone and emails and also for our dance. We definitely would recommend your services to others.

Katie & Gene 5/9/2015 – Lowertown Event Center (DJ Zach V)

The DJ was awesome. He did a great job of following our requests made prior to the day, but then also just going with the flow of things that night. He was very patient with our last minute decisions/changes, etc. Our favorite part about our service was the event planner, the DJ himself, and the price!

Stephanie & Brian 5/9/2015 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (DJ Ryan L)

Ryan was fantastic 🙂 He worked with us throughout the night and kept things moving perfectly. Played the music we requested and was fun and flexible! The Event planner was great, the customer service and e-mail correspondence was helpful, and our DJ was awesome!!

Maureen & Jason 5/2/2015 – Minneapolis Club (DJ Bengi D)

Our experience with Instant Request was great all around! We all really enjoyed dancing until midnight rolled around and we had to wrap up the party. The DJ was incredibly easy going and flexible with last minute changes/updates. Overall we would definitely recommend Instant Request!

Ashley & Justin 4/11/2015 – Crystal Lake Golf Club (DJ Rick A)

Rick was awesome. He was so friendly and played great music to help get people on the dance floor. He was helpful during speeches/toasts so that we could have the mics to the right people. He also made sure to announce our photo booth several times during the night to remind people to take pictures!
This is the first time I’ve used a DJ, but the process was seamless – from the beginning when you matched a price quote I received from another company, to the conversation with Rick. He really listened to me and also helped make suggestions of him own, which I loved!
Pricing was definitely a good deal. It was less expensive than some companies I found, and the customer service/DJ was above my expectations! I’ve heard such horror stories about people’s DJs they’ve had for their wedding and we didn’t! Everything about our day was perfect. Thank you, and please thank Rick again for us!

Sarah & Phil 4/11/2015 – St. Thomas Aquinas (DJ Justin R)

The planning process was very efficient and everyone was helpful! We had Justin- he was AWESOME! So kind and energetic we LOVED him. Very positive and worked hard to help us out in every way possible. I would definitely recommend him!
We thought so! We had a large crowd on the dance floor most of the reception- thank you DJ Justin!

Lauren & Dustin 3/27/2015 – Weisman Art Museum (DJ Rick A)

Instant Request was very responsive to calls and emails. They spent a lot of time explaining the packages and answering my questions before we signed the contract. The DJ did a great job. He played a lot of stuff from our playlist and people were dancing all night. The sound quality was good and the lighting was beautiful.

Tiana & John 3/21/2015 – Rogers Community Center (DJ Chad V)

The online planner worked great! We didn’t have any issues. The costumer service was fantastic. Never felt I was being annoying with my questions.

Heather & Joel 3/20/2015 – U of M Arboretum in Chaska (DJ Andrew N)

The online event planner was great!! It made our planning fast and easy! Our DJ was awesome!! He played exactly what we wanted!!

Sarah & Chris 3/20/2015 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was an absolute joy to work with before and on our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to work with. He truly was a big part of why the day was so much fun! Chris’s son did a surprise performance for us that Anthony helped with and he made it a truly special moment.

Jareesa & William 3/14/2015 – McNamara Alumni Center (DJ Jason Q)

We hired Instant Request based on a friend’s recommendation and I’m glad we did! I really like their Event Planner tool, where we could put in a ton of information about our reception, the type of music we liked, etc. The DJ followed everything to the T, and played great music that had everyone dancing until the night was over.

Marie & Justin 2/14/2015 – Eagan Community Center (DJ Charles D)

Our DJ Charlie DuBois was amazing! He helped everything run smoothly, he was a calming presence and went above and beyond to help anyway he could during the wedding. He’s a good guy and we were very impressed with him. And he kept the party going! We can’t say enough good things about him.

Samantha & Joe 1/17/2015 – Millennium Hotel (DJ Rick A)

The online event planner was useful and easy to use. The DJ did a very nice job and made our dance floor a success.

Krista & Derek 1/17/2015 – 413 on Wacouta Event Center (DJ Ryan L)

Ryan LaRue’s incredible service was the best part of our experience. In all the chaos of planning, music fell by the wayside and we booked less than two weeks before. His phone call the night before and his professionalism the day of were great and he made the whole event come together perfectly. Also I didn’t know we all loved Taylor Swift that much.

Hilary & Rasika 1/3/2015 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (DJ Rick A)

Rick was AMAZING in our pre-wedding conversations and on the day!!!

Thea & Stephen 12/31/2014 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ Justin R)

Our DJ, Justin Roff, not only met but way exceeded our expectations. He was simply brilliant. He very clearly had everything under control – he was as if not more involved in ensuring the perfect flow of things than my day of wedding planner. He was the perfect fit for everyone in the room- the dance floor was never empty and almost every guest stayed until the end. Justin has such a great, warm personality matched with the fact that he is amazing at what he does. I’m forever grateful that he was able to join us. BEST DJ EVER, I’m sure of it.
The online event planner software was AWESOME. It felt really good to have all of that information clearly laid out for us and for our DJ to refer to. I have no suggestions- I was a little ahead of the online event planner on a few new hit songs but it was super easy to request as an add and the office responded almost immediately.

Heidi & Cassie 12/31/2014 – 5120 Restaurant and Onyx Bar (DJ Chad V)

Our DJ, Chad, was great. He seemed to genuinely care about making sure our night went exactly the way we wanted. He created a fun and upbeat vibe that was perfect for the evening. He did a great job of emceeing the dinner and getting the party going. We loved that he checked in with us several times throughout the night to ask how we felt it was going. Many guests commented on how great it was that he played their requests and hosted the midnight countdown for the New Year.
The online software was extremely helpful in our planning for the evening as well as music selection. We could tell that Instant Request is very professional and has a lot of expertise in weddings and big events. It made it much less stressful that we could just follow the on-screen menu and be sure that we hadn’t missed any details. They also purchased music that was not already available.

Jennifer & Brandon 12/31/2014 – Walker Art Center (DJ Jimmy B)

Jimmy was AWESOME!! He fit our style and exceeded our expectations – he was professional and all around a great guy. He had our guest’s dancing the whole night and we received numerous compliments on the DJ and the song choices. We loved using the online event planner – it was great to be able to come back to it as we got more details of our wedding figured out. It was so easy to use, I have no complaints!!
The lighting and sound was perfect – we didn’t do any extras but what the DJ brought with him was perfect!

Lauri & Jason 12/20/2014 – BayView Event Center (DJ Alex K)

Your office staff was SUPER friendly, accommodating, and very timely with emails & follow-ups. One of the biggest reasons I booked with your company is because my initial emails with Mitch were so helpful & informative. He went into great detail when answering my questions, and I was so impressed! Other companies I initially interacted with were nowhere near as detailed & as prompt with their responses, so I immediately knew your company was something great! After booking with Instant Request, all of your staff provided me with the SAME helpfulness & promptness as I initially encountered with Mitch. Everyone at Instant Request is awesome!
We had DJ Alex K at our wedding. He was very professional from the get-go. I think the online event planner was a super useful tool for guiding Alex in the perfect direction that we had envisioned for our wedding. He made sure to ask questions so we were all on the same page in order to make our vision come to life, and he did AWESOME! He was great at tailoring the music to the crowd’s liking & made sure everyone had a great time.
This is a hard question to answer because I liked EVERYTHING. If I have to narrow it down, I’d say that your company was awesome at keeping in super close contact with me from day 1. I know I had issues with getting my slideshow to you guys by your deadline, and you helped ease my stress by extending the deadline & being so kind by saying “No problem!” I also dragged my heels with the online planner & didn’t use it as early as I should have. I was having last minute anxiety at making sure the planner was done exactly how I wanted it to be done since it had such a huge impact on my wedding day, and you guys said “No problem! We will extend the deadline to you, and if you for some reason can’t complete it by the extension, just let us know & we will extend it again if you need!” You were very flexible with an anxiousness & last minute personality, so for that I am forever grateful 🙂

Kelly & Scott 12/13/2014 – Sheraton Bloomington (DJ Eric D)

Eric was great and super friendly. The pricing and service was great!

Cady & Jack 12/13/2014 – Burl Oaks Golf Club (DJ John A)

The whole process was very easy – paying online, completing the survey, plenty of communication to know what still needed to be done. Everything was professional and simple to set up. John was great! I knew what I was getting because he did my brother’s wedding, but he was great about reading the crowd and playing music to keep people dancing all night.

Nicole & Mat 12/6/2014 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (DJ Brandon H)

The event planner was very useful and had a large selection of music. It was easy to use and provided some great suggestions. Our DJ exceeded our expectations and was a great fit for our style. We very much enjoyed having DJ Brandon as a part of our day.
We were able to take advantage of the winter discount, so it was an excellent value.

Megan & Reed 12/6/2014 – Guthrie Theater (DJ Anthony D)

The event planner made it very easy to set up and put in the type of music we like.

Jenna & Nick 12/6/2014 – St. Paul College Club (DJ Bengi D)

Bengi stuck to our playlist and did a great job interacting with guests without being a distraction. Everyone loved the music.

Britta & Derek 11/29/2014 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ Bengi D)

SO easy to work with. Perfectly matched with our group & needs. Friendly, responsive staff. Overall PERFECT!

Rebecca & Eric 11/28/2014 – VFW in Golden Valley (DJ Brandon H)

Every person I spoke with was courteous and helpful. DJ Brandon was able to personalize the sound based on the hall and having a louder area and a quieter area per my guests’ request. DJ Brandon was excellent and he was able to accommodate our style, my mother’s style and my guests’ requests wonderfully. We had great feedback from our guests about his professionalism.

Lyndsay & Jeronimo 11/14/2014 – Landmark Center (DJ John A)

Our DJ John Archila was amazing! Our guests loved him and we had a blast with him!

Jill & Mike 11/14/2014 – James J. Hill Reference Library (DJ Travis B)

Travis exceeded all of our expectations, he was professional, fun, and did a great job of mixing our requests while working in additional music that fit all periods of the night. I would highly recommend Travis to other clients.
It was great having the ability to preview songs right in the planner. Also the planner helped to streamline the process when it came to discussing the night with our DJ.

Brigid & Dan 11/8/2014 – 413 on Wacouta Event Center (DJ Ryan L)

Great DJ and did a great job keeping things moving an upbeat! The lighting system was awesome with the up lighting and worked perfectly with our venue. We really enjoyed the event planner and was very easy to use!

Heather & Daniel 11/8/2014 – Blackberry Ridge Golf Course in Sartell (DJ John A)

Your office staff was amazing and we loved the quick responses and communication! The DJ went beyond our expectations! Perfect for us! Your online system let us be in control of which songs to play and the DJ had fun with that and he made it blend very well!

Suzie & Steve 11/8/2014 – Lafayette Club (DJ Steve F)

Steve and I were so impressed by Instant Request! Our DJ, Steve, was AMAZING! The music he played was exactly what we had wanted. Our guests danced and had so much fun! We got so many compliments on our DJ as well as the lighting, which was so beautiful and added to the ambience of the room. Steve was so professional and easy to work with. We had a blast at the reception!
Our DJ, Steve, surpassed our expectations. He was so professional and played exactly the music we were hoping to have played. He checked in with us through the evening to make sure we were pleased with the music selections. Prior to the wedding, he took time to talk with us on the phone to discuss what music and feel we wanted for the reception. The music he played inspired our guests to dance. He was awesome! We were so happy and grateful for Steve! He made our reception so much fun!

Amanda & Brent 11/8/2014 – St. Paul College Club (DJ Alex K)

Alex K was AWESOME! He did everything flawlessly with very little direction. He seemed like he was having the time of his life too. Great energy!

Rachel & Austin 11/8/2014 – Mississippi Dunes Golf Links (DJ Jimmy B)

I wanted to let Instant Request know how much we loved having Jimmy Bogen as our DJ! Our guests were dancing the entire evening and they all had a blast. We cannot express enough how awesome of a job we think he did. He was up for any changes we wanted to make last minute and was extremely flexible. Thank you so much for sending him our way! We currently live in GA but we will definitely be recommending Jimmy and Instant Request to anyone we know getting married around the Twin Cities!
Thanks again!

Grace & Allen 11/1/2014 – Carlson Towers Rotunda & Amphitheatre (DJ Anthony D)

Extremely helpful, accommodating and timely! The sound was great. The lighting of the columns was great.

Saffron & Dustin 11/1/2014 – Rush Creek Golf Club (DJ Zach V)

Zach was amazing! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

Jessica & Quinn 10/26/2014 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ Brandon H)

I just wanted to let you know that everything went perfect at my daughter’s wedding on October 26th at the Calhoun Beach Club. Brandon was terrific. He made sure everyone had a great time and he looked like he really enjoyed himself as well. If anyone asks us about your company we will gladly tell them that they should use you. Thanks again for making the wedding a really great experience.
-Steve Waldman (Father of the Bride)

Ashley & Justin 10/25/2014 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (DJ Justin R)

The staff was great! Very professional and were able to accommodate minor changes throughout the night! They were always accessible and easy to get in touch with. We loved the online even planner! It helped us stay very organized and allowed us to discover a few songs we could not remember the name of, but really enjoyed.
Justin was great! He was always thinking ahead and new how to keep the crowd on the dance floor enjoying their time, he was wonderful.
What I liked best about instant request is your ability to pretty much control every aspect of your event or as little as you want, depending on how active you are w the online planner. It really put a lot of minds at ease as we were able to take a lot of different music suggestions to add to our event to satisfy everyone.

Kelly & Ben 10/25/2014 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (DJ Kailen N)

Everything was perfect with the DJ! Kailen did an amazing job of facilitating, playing awesome music, and went above and beyond our expectations. I wouldn’t have changed a thing! The cocktail music was off of my uncle’s iPod and my mother commented that it was too quiet to hear but I think that had more to do with the venue and the level of noise than the DJ—it’s background music after all. The event planner allowed us to clearly communicate our style of music and event with the DJ and the phone conversation was nice to iron out any last minute questions.

Katherine & David 10/25/2014 – MN History Center (DJ Ryan W)

I liked that the DJ was helpful and responsive to our preferences and needs.

Alice & Chris 10/25/2014 – Kellerman’s Event Center (DJ Brandon H)

Mitch was awesome when we were first setting up our appointment, during our first meeting, and when we were booking our date! Brandon (our DJ) was great as well. He was good about returning emails and answering all of our questions.
Great price and very professional!

Morgan & Kyle 10/25/2014 – Midland Hills Golf Club (DJ Rick A)

The online event planner is genius – it’s the reason we choose Instant Request, and made the process so much easier. Rick was AMAZING!!!!! We cannot thank him enough. He exceeded our expectations, and we were flooded with nothing but amazing feedback from our guests.
We couldn’t be happier with our service!

Lynnae & Todd 10/25/2014 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (DJ Andy M)

We got lots of complements on the sound level, many of our guests stayed later because they were not blown out! They were knowledgeable, and could “do the right thing at the right time” without being told/requested.

Allison & Michael 10/18/2014 – Wayzata Country Club (DJ Justin R)

Our entire experience with Instant Request was wonderful. The office staff was very friendly and very accommodating. Communication was always timely. The online event planner was very helpful. I can’t imagine planning a playlist in any other way. It was nice to be able to search for specific songs, but your playlists were extremely helpful and reminded us of songs we may otherwise never could have thought of, but loved!
Justin went above and beyond our expectations. He was better than we could have imagined. His style was exactly what we were looking for and I can’t tell you enough how many people complimented us for our DJ and what a great job he did. From start to finish, we were more than pleased with our experience. Justin was exactly what we were looking for in a DJ. We expected people to dance, but not as much as they did. From start to finish, Justin kept everyone dancing. He played all of the music we had selected, but included songs we didn’t even think of. He was the best!

Kelly & Andrew 10/18/2014 – Doubletree Park Place (DJ Natalie J)

Natalie had people on the dance floor from 7:30pm to 1:00am – no stopping! She was wonderful. The online planner is great to work with as you prep for the big day.

Beth & Chad 10/18/2014 – Jax Café (DJ John A)

Honestly, we were very impressed by the professionalism and how awesome the setup is down in Bloomington. The event planner in One word, AWESOME. If I had to look up all those songs on the internet, I wouldn’t have done it.
John was perfect. We had a ton of compliments… even “Best Wedding DJ Ever.” I think the online event planner, meeting John in person and the high level of service all around. You guys run an outstanding business start to finish.

Shayna & Joseph 10/18/2014 – Mill City Museum (DJ Steve F)

Steve was wonderful!!! He did an AMAZING job. It was a pleasure working with him and he had the perfect amount of interaction with our guests. He was great at feeling out the vibe of the crowd and coming to us if he had any questions. The whole experience with Instant Request was great. I’m very happy we had Steve as our DJ.

Kelsey & Scott 10/17/2014 – St. Anthony Main Event Centre (DJ Bengi D)

Bengi was fantastic! We had a blast and the dance floor was full the whole night. He was so helpful and had great ideas. We have recommended him to our friends!

Olivia & Diorelle 10/17/2014 – Loews Hotel (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was great! Everyone had a blast and he definitely was the perfect fit for the types of songs we wanted. People are already asking me where I found my DJ so they can use him for their own weddings.

Nicole & Shawn 10/11/2014 – Red Barn Farm (DJ Chad V)

We had Chad V as our DJ and he was great. During our phone meeting we discussed everything and he answered all my questions. I moved that he was willing to get a little creative and crazy with our grand march idea I had from a you tube video I had seen. It was challenging but he was all for it and he pulled it off perfectly. We also had a masquerade theme and Chad and his assistant participated by wearing masks too! I would recommend him 100%!!!!
Yes price was fair. I love up front pricing and no bull with hidden fees or costs. The price quotes were accurate and never changed from start to end. U all broke down exactly what was what and I appreciate that.

Kelli & Justin 10/11/2014 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (DJ Bengi D)

He was a great fit for us and everyone commented on how good he was.

Jackie & Brett 10/11/2014 – Lafayette Club (DJ John A)

We absolutely LOVED our DJ! We had John A. and he was amazing at keeping energy high, the music flowing well, and fit perfectly with our “crazy” group. Our dance floor was packed from beginning to end. It is really nice having the online planner so you can go in and make sure everything is organized. When your assigned DJ calls you close to the wedding, he already knows all the details and has your planner printed with notes. Everything ran so smoothly and he was SO organized! I have nothing but great things to say about Instant Request!

Sydney & Brian 10/11/2014 – St. Paul Hotel (DJ Justin R)

We were EXTREMELY pleased with Justin!!

Rachel & Britton 10/11/2014 – Golden Valley Golf and Country Club (DJ Robert H)

He was AMAZING! We had so many compliments on our DJ and heard great feedback like, “He really read the crowd well!” We couldn’t be happier!! I can’t say enough great things about Instant Request, our DJ, and our wedding in general. We wanted a party, we wanted people to dance and enjoy themselves and we got exactly that and so much more!
Everything was perfect!

Brian & Richard Pietz 10/11/2014 – St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (DJ Jeremy L)

Just wanted to drop you all a note saying we couldn’t have been happier with our DJ Jeremy L at our wedding reception last Saturday. He was attentive, friendly, and did a great job for us.

Erin & Dan 10/5/2014 – Loft at Studio J in Stillwater (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was cool, very friendly and selected music based on our profile and was dead on! Lots of comments on how great our music was!

Alisha & Andrew 10/4/2014 – Dellwood Country Club (DJ Doug L)

I loved having the custom playlist with a large variety of music options/genres as well as the timeline of events for the evening.
Doug did a fabulous job! His style was just what we were looking for- he was outgoing and could tell that he really cared about our wants/needs. He checked in with us numerous times throughout the night which I really appreciated.

Jenny & Chad 10/4/2014 – James J. Hill Reference Library (DJ Nate A)

We liked how Nate really coordinated a lot of the evening and made it a really great, very personalized service. He was perfect.

Molly & Logan 10/4/2014 – Camrose Hill Farm (DJ Hyun L)

We loved Hyun, he was extremely helpful in keeping the timeline moving and he read the crowd well to decide what music to play next.

Rachel & JP 10/4/2014 – St. Anthony Main Event Centre (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was awesome! He did a great job and more than exceeded expectations.

Nicole & Jared 10/4/2014 – Edina Country Club (DJ Charlie M)

Charlie did a great job! We still had people ripping it up at 12:30! Thank you so much! We had the time of our lives, and the DJ was awesome!

Mackenzie & Luke 10/4/2014 – Camp Tanadoona (DJ Charles D)

I wanted to say thank you for all of your help on Saturday. You are hands down the greatest DJ we’ve ever experienced at a party or wedding. Everyone was raving about you and the music you were playing. And thank you for sticking around a little past your 1:00am cut-off…no one wanted to stop dancing! We really appreciate your help with the projector set-up and video as well. Everything was just so perfect, and you were the best, very professional and so easy to work with.

Julie & Kelvin 10/3/2014 – Courtyard Minneapolis Downtown (Instant Request DJ)

Our DJ was wonderful! He played great music and kept the energy high. It was easy to communicate our needs via the online event planner, it was helpful to speak with him before the ceremony, it was a good value and our DJ delivered, he was just what we asked for!

Rebecca & Adam 10/3/2014 – Rum River Barn and Vineyard (DJ Andy M)

Andy McClure did a wonderful job of accommodating us on our wedding day. We had an outdoor ceremony under an open barn on a COLD October day (it even snowed right before the ceremony!) and he still made it work to have the music beautifully executed for our guests to hear. He was very good at checking in with us throughout the day, and keeping us on schedule with the important dances (we kept getting distracted). The music was what we wanted, and we had guests out on the dance floor which was important to us. I appreciated the quality of service in which we received throughout the process from start to finish. Our DJ was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive. The online planning service was also very helpful while being a communication key between us and our DJ.

Jessica & Bert 10/3/2014 – Lowell Inn (DJ Zach V)

The DJ Zach was fantastic!!!! He fit our style very well and really impressed our guests with his ability to read the crowd! The online event planner was useful, not just for helping me choose the specific music for my event, but also for planning the flow of the evening. I appreciated having that as a resource.
I was happy with the timely and effective communications from the office staff. They were quick to answer any questions I had. Our DJ really made our experience with Instant Request great. He was the best part.

Renae & Ali 9/28/2014 – Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake (DJ Brandon H)

Brandon was excellent.

Annette & Paul 9/27/2014 – Mermaid (DJ Andy M)

Everyone I worked with via email was more than timely with responding, and very courteous and accommodating! The event planner was a HUGE help in compiling everything we wanted for the day of.
Planning all the music with you guys was just so incredibly easy for us. That was wonderful. As I mentioned above, it would have been nice to be able to access our event planner, just to look it over again, after it had been “completed.” I’m a meticulous planner that likes to check, double-check and triple-check my work, so having the event planner “taken down” got a little nerve wracking right before the wedding.

Cari & Corey 9/27/2014 – Freeport Community Center (DJ Natalie J)

I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback. It was a huge crowd and she kept them all on the dance floor. Natalie was amazing and stayed connected well.

Lauren & Kyle 9/27/2014 – Hazeltine Golf Club (DJ Brandon H)

Brandon was a perfect match for my style and wedding group and very knowledgeable and talented. Everyone loved him!!!!!!!

Andrea & Sean 9/27/2014 – Union Depot St. Paul Waiting Room (DJ Nate A)

I had requested Nate who I was put in contact with immediately. The event planner, info on payments and all other info we needed was readily accessible. We love the event planner! So awesome to be able to customize what I wanted to hear, and more importantly what we did not.
NATE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a band and a DJ and he was so willing and helpful to make sure that the two worked well together. When we met with him prior to the wedding he asked all the right questions and we knew he would be a good fit. My friends and I love dancing (and love bugging DJs to play our music) but Nate completely nailed the playlist and kept everybody happy. It was an epic dance party which was exactly what we wanted.
As I said, I loved being able to customize in the event planner! I also loved Nate’s easy going nature. We had my brother MC, we didn’t do any of the typical wedding stuff (bouquet toss, dollar dance, garter etc.) so we were really just looking for someone to come in and rock the dance floor… and that he did!

Rachel & Danny 9/27/2014 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (DJ Ryan W)

Ryan did a very good job, he was easy to work with and very professional.

Margo & Philip 9/27/2014 – Rush Creek Golf Club (DJ Travis M)

They helped us when we asked questions and gave a great recommendation for a DJ we would like when we told them what we were looking for! The event planner very easy to use and helped organize all the information needed. I do have to say that I we are very picky about the sound in terms of loudness. I hate going to weddings where the music is so loud your ears are ringing for hours afterwards. The sound was perfect!! Nice and loud, but not so much that you noticed later or that people couldn’t talk. So thank you!!
You were overall very professional and helped us make sure we were happy! Travis was awesome and really made sure to keep everyone on the dance floor!

Angela & Brandon 9/27/2014 – Afton Alps Chalet (DJ Anthony D)

We Loved our DJ! We liked the website and meeting with the DJ ahead of time. We’ve already got another bride to book with Instant Request.

Janelle & James 9/26/2014 – St. Anthony Main Event Centre (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was awesome! We were so happy with his professionalism, his ability to listen and hear what we would like for the night. He had great attention to detail and he fit our style perfectly!
We liked the value. I feel like the cost for the actual production was lower than expected. We got a steal I think!! And of course we loved the memories our DJ created with all the great music he played that allowed us all to have a great time!

Chrissi and Joseph & Jenny and Jon 9/26/2014 – Historic Hope Glen Farm (DJ Travis M)

Our DJ was awesome!! We were really happy because we had requested him and you honored that request! Our DJ and the communication was VERY GOOD!! I had lots of questions and they were answered completely and promptly!

Katie & Lawrence 9/26/2014 – Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake (DJ Justin R)

Everything was more than what we expected, extremely friendly staff. Justin was an amazing DJ and was very friendly and always making sure the music was right and everyone was having fun and getting involved and playing requests.
They were very friendly and made sure that the right music was played and how interactive and communicative they were. It was a great value!

Erica & Bob 9/20/2014 – St. Paul Athletic Club (DJ Tom C)

Tom was amazing! He reviewed our entire event planner with us at our meeting before the wedding. He listened to exactly what we wanted for our wedding and he did a great job carrying it out! He was able to keep EVERYONE on the dance floor all night! We were very impressed with Tom!

Nicole & Lance 9/20/2014 – Edinburgh USA Golf Club (DJ Jeremy L)

We wanted to thank our DJ for the most amazing time at our reception! He did such an amazing job! He was so easy to work with & talked with us before the big day to figure out what we wanted to happen most! We left some choices up to him & he didn’t disappoint! The online event planner was great and made making choices just a little bit easier! Along with our requests he picked great songs & kept the dance floor busy! Overall we can’t really choose one great thing, our expectations were beyond met with Instant Request! From the great price, lighting, the sound, the friendliness & easy to work with DJ we would absolutely recommend you guys & when we renew our vows sometime in the future we would use you guys again! Thanks so much for making our night amazing!! 🙂

Shaina & Kyle 9/20/2014 – Plymouth Creek Center (DJ Everett M)

Our DJ was absolutely fabulous!!!

Amy & Ben 9/20/2014 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (DJ John A)

John read the room and crowd really well…we had people dancing the whole night and I’m confident each and every person was out on the dance floor at least once.

MJ & Peter 9/20/2014 – Residence (DJ Whitney N)

Our DJ did an amazing job of keeping everything going, despite some unexpected inclement weather that made this difficult. Our amazing DJ, Whitney, unbeknownst to us until hours later, stood ankle deep in mud with a smile on her face after rain hit our reception tent. She was a great fit for our guests and made sure everyone had fun on the dance floor.

Jenna & Kevin 9/20/2014 – Rosebrook Farms Barn (DJ Robert H)

Thank you for being a part of our wedding! We were very happy with the music and entertainment you provided and would definitely recommend you. Thanks again for all your hard work, especially moving all your equipment multiple times for the ceremony, cocktail and dinner music. We appreciated it!

Candice & Jaime 9/19/2014 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (DJ John A)

John absolutely killed it. When we think back on the wedding in the future, one of the things that will stick out will be the reception and how John facilitated it in the best way possible. Jaime and I keep talking about him 2 weeks after…that’s not creepy, right? John came extremely prepared (and early!) and made sure everything was set up and ready to go. He introduced himself early on and quickly confirmed all of the ceremony song choices since I had made some last minute edits. All night we never had to worry about making sure things happened or happened on time because John was always one step ahead. All night he handled himself as a true professional while also having fun. We liked to see that he enjoyed himself (or we hope so!) like when he would lead the Cupid Shuffle or other songs like that. He visited the photo booth and signed the guest book, which was awesome, he really felt like part of the wedding and not just working another evening gig. One of the things that we loved about John the most was how he interacted with the guests. We had a good mixture of young and old, Scandinavian Minnesotan, and Mexican guests. Most relatives from Jaime’s side are all Spanish speaking so John would announce things in both Spanish and English, which we thought was the nicest touch. He played a perfect mix of Spanish songs, top 40, polka, 70s, early 2000s, everything that we had indicated on our planner. He played multiple songs of a genre in a row (which we haven’t seen a lot at weddings) and it was great because people would stay out on the dance floor instead of one song and sitting down right away. Every song was mixed into the next so there was literally no break in the music all night. He showed skill in his job, rather than just pushing play on a playlist like Jaime and I have seen at other weddings.
Jaime and I went to 9 weddings this summer so we saw a lot of different styles, vendors, and catastrophes. After every wedding we would talk about what we liked and didn’t like, and we were the most nervous about the entertainment since it really makes or breaks a reception. Ours went perfectly, thanks to John, we would not have changed a thing.
The planner was comprehensive so we never felt like we overlooked something or didn’t have all details in line. Our DJ, was great with implementing our last minute changes and additions, even after the planner had closed. It was very much appreciated as there’s so much to cover I think I changed song choices about 20 times! I liked that it gave options for different genres, dances (like macarena, anniversary dance), or traditional pieces (like bouquet toss) as I would have definitely forgot about them with all of the last minute planning. The song library was extensive. We had a folder of Spanish songs that weren’t in the song library that we wanted played throughout the night and John was awesome at finding all the songs and making sure they were played. It was really easy to share the planner with our parents so everyone was on the same page with order of events, song choices, etc.
Jaime and I cannot recommend John and Instant Request enough! When we talk about the wedding with our friends and family, people always bring up the reception and how smoothly it went and how John had great control of the guests, tempo of the night, everything.

Erin & Hans 9/19/2014 – MN History Center (DJ Anthony D)

The event planner was probably my favorite part of Instant Request – being able to have as little or as much control over the music as we liked. Being that we are both total music junkies, had an eclectic crowd attend our wedding, and like SO many different styles & genres of music, the online planner was awesome! Although it was a little work upfront to get everything in there, it really meant we didn’t have a care in the world (as it related to music : ) ) on the big night. We just listened, danced, and enjoyed.I particularly liked the ability to pick “must-plays” and star them, vs. choosing others that were “nice-to-haves”. Our DJ did a great job of reading the crowd and playing the must haves when appropriate, but also filled in with other great songs the crowd loved that we didn’t even think of. You guys also found some of the songs we requested that weren’t in your database, and Anthony sent them over prior to the big day to ensure they were the arrangement/mix we had hoped for.
Anthony was wonderful! He was so much fun, yet so professional. You could tell he really took his job of “helping” people have a good time seriously. He was always checking in with us and/or looking for cues from us to meet our expectations. He was very friendly & personable, had a great “announcing” voice, and our friends & family loved him! He seemed to genuinely be having a good time, too. He announced a few song dedications and that meant a lot to some of the special people in our group. And we will never forget his mixing in of “bust a move” – the little record scratches on every “…busta” were awesome. He matched our play list perfectly, using our must-plays and then filling in with others the crowd loved. Our entire dance floor was packed from the first song to the very last.

Chrissy & Brad 9/19/2014 – Science Museum of MN (DJ Alex K)

Alex K was fantastic. Low key, played all the songs we wanted, got the dance floor packed. The DJ’s style definitely accommodated what we were looking for. Someone who was low-key, played what we wanted, showed all of the speakers how to use the microphone.
Pricing was perfect as well, especially compared to other places who clearly try to take advantage of wedding couples.

Amanda & Jason 9/19/2014 – Wayzata Country Club (DJ Brandon H)

Brandon was so much fun! Great DJ and made the atmosphere enjoyable. He was a great fit and just what we were hoping for!

Meredith & Eric 9/19/2014 – Golden Valley Golf and Country Club (DJ Jimmy B)

We absolutely LOVED Jimmy! He kept people on the dance floor all night; he also helped our videographer get hooked up to the sound system, and helped keep things running smoothly for us. Overall, he went above and beyond- we will definitely recommend him to friends and family!
We really appreciated that the pricing was clear with no extra added/hidden fees. We had such a positive experience with you- we are so grateful. The DJ service was one less thing we had to worry about and that was so helpful when we were in the depths of wedding planning!

Amy & Abraham 9/14/2014 – Birch Hill Barn (DJ John A)

We really liked that our DJ spoke English and Spanish as we had a bilingual wedding.

Marina & Jeremy 9/14/2014 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (DJ Justin R)

JUSTIN WAS AWESOME! Excellent service and flexible DJ!

Anna & Eric 9/13/2014 – Crowne Plaza St. Paul (DJ Josh P)

We will be recommending Instant Request to others in the future. For the price, it absolutely met our expectations. Thanks for helping make our special day great!

Jane & Chris 9/13/2014 – Oak Ridge Hotel & Conference Center (DJ Jason F)

Office Staff was very friendly! Every question I had was answered in a timely fashion  The online event planner was AWESOME! It made everything so easy and I was happy that I was able to plan everything down to the last detail and then when it came time to speak with my DJ about my event he just had to confirm what was in my planner and we were set to go!
Jason was a perfect fit for our wedding! He was accommodating to both our song requests as well as our guests! He kept our dance floor packed all night which was awesome! He was extremely organized and professional 🙂 I would recommend him to anyone!
I found the pricing to be very affordable for what we got!

Gillian & Andrew 9/13/2014 – Woodhill Country Club (DJ Justin R)

JUSTIN EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY WAY!!!!!! Justin was amazing; his choice in music was perfect and he had the ENTIRE crowd dancing all night. He took our directives and playlist and his own suggestions in stride and did such an amazing job. He was doing such an amazing job we would have been happy to have him just pick all his own songs all night but he still came back and asked us to consult on whether he was sticking to the playlist enough. We also had some tricky requests for our father/daughter and mother/son dances and he accomplished them PERFECTLY. I cannot sing his praises loud enough. We love Justin!

Emily & Chris 9/13/2014 – Rush Creek Golf Club (DJ Everett M)

the software was very useful. We both love music, but aren’t very music “savy” and know a lot of artists or songs, so it was very useful for us. The DJ was definitely a good fit, and met beyond our expectations.

Lindsey & Michael 9/6/2014 – Horse and Hunt Club (DJ Eric M)

Our DJ was the best he kept everyone dancing all night. He was perfect and met all our expectations.

Jennifer & Corey 9/6/2014 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (DJ Hyun L)

We LOVED Instant Request, and will recommend to everyone looking for a DJ! Extremely! The chat feature is what we used most to communicate, and everyone we talked to was excellent! We could not have asked for a better DJ! Hyun was fantastic– he read our crowd perfectly, played great songs, was extremely fun, all while providing fantastic service! He checked in with us a few times throughout the night which we appreciated, but didn’t have any suggestions because everything he did was great. Many of our friends and family commented on how great he was, and took his card for future events. I am a type-A extreme planner, and I was able to let go and enjoy the night because he took care of everything!
From the great value of service, the online planner, the equipment, and our fabulous DJ– everything was above expectations. We are the first of our friends and immediate family to get married, so there are many people we get to share our experience and advice 🙂

Kelsey & Preston 9/6/2014 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (DJ Justin R)

Justin was perfect! The dance floor was packed all night! We got so many compliments!

Susie & Brandon 9/5/2014 – Rochester Art Center (DJ Anthony D)

Loved the online even planner software! Had a great music library stocked full of suggestions to help the planning process and the staff was very timely and friendly with re-opening my event planner account so I could add some more song requests.
Anthony D was absolutely amazing! He understood exactly what I was looking for – had a great eclectic mix of music genres to accomodate all ages/preferences of my guests and myself. We had several odd ball music requests that were family jokes and some of the songs may have been difficult to find but Anthony hooked us up and was able to work in the surprise songs we had planned – we had so much fun dancing all night!
Great price & quality together is something you don’t always find. I was very impressed with the staff willing to go above & beyond to help out their customers. I would definitely recommend Instant Request to other people!

Molly & Adam 9/5/2014 – Gale Woods Farm (DJ Jonathan W)

You have an excellent planning tool. Our DJ was great, laid back and easy to work with. He really felt the crowd and was an excellent DJ.

Patty & Eric 9/5/2014 – Aster Café (DJ Kailen N)

My daughter Patty used your company for her wedding on 9/05/2014 at the Aster Cafe. I want to let you know how much we enjoyed working with you. You were always very polite and professional. Your service helped make our event a success.
I also want to compliment our DJ, Kailen N. He was fabulous and very, very professional. He took care of every issue that came up with professionalism and made us feel confident that things were going to go exactly how we wanted. We really appreciated everything he did for us that night. He did an excellent job.

Roni Rose 8/31/2014 – Nicollet Island Inn (DJ Andy M)

Andy M was just the right person for us; low key, organized, adaptable and he also made helpful suggestions the night of our wedding.

Audri & Cody 8/31/2014 – Medina Entertainment Center (DJ Travis B)

Thank you Instant Request for a FABULOUS wedding reception!!!! We received so many compliments about how fun the dance was and even the reception staff made a point to come and tell me that they have never seen so many people on the dance floor and stay for the whole night!
There is no regret with our decision to go with Instant Request! Thank you for helping make our wedding memory an incredible one!
The software was easy to use and helpful in giving our DJ a good direction of what we wanted our wedding music to be. It asked all the questions we didn’t think about regarding our reception.
We have many good things to say about Instant Request, one of which being how flexible the DJ is about meeting you before the wedding. It was a huge fear that we would not be able to communicate with the DJ very far in advance from the wedding, but this was quickly put to rest when Travis made every effort to fit into our schedule. We also loved their balance between taking the flow of the dance into their own hands and checking in with us to make sure we were happy with how things were going!
From our original quote, the price was sill very competitive with other companies we were looking at. The thing that solidified our decision was what was included in our pricing. They have state of the art equipment, which we found other companies sacrifice, their staff is so accommodating and of all companies you got to meet your DJ the quickest with Instant Request, which for us was a huge deal!

Briana & Martin 8/31/2014 – La Belle Vie (DJ Alex K)

Quick answer: Alex did a phenomenal job. We couldn’t have wished for a better DJ!

Emily & Matt 8/30/2014 – Carlson Towers Rotunda & Amphitheatre (DJ Anthony D)

Very friendly and accommodating! He was able to get the guests involved with dancing and engaged with wedding festivities.

Lindsay & Nick 8/30/2014 – Edina Country Club (DJ Jason F)

I had a wonderful experience. Setting up the DJ for our wedding was a easy experience. The online event planner was phenomenal. It gave us the control to hear what we wanted on our wedding. That way Jason could cater to the vibe in the room based on how the crowd was.
Jason F was amazing. He kept the party going all night long. There was never a dull moment, people loved him and asked for his information to use him in the future.

Fiona & John 8/30/2014 – Minnesota Boat Club (DJ Ryan L)

Ryan was wonderful to work with and played great music. Instant Request is easy to work with, transparent pricing.

Jan & Gene 8/30/2014 – Christ Luthern Church in Minneapolis(DJ Andy M)

Andy M was very personable, very pleasant. He followed our event planner…..played the music at a level that people could still converse, which we think is difficult. He was a low-key DJ, which we appreciated, being that we are older (over 70), with many older guests. Guests commented over and over on his wonderful choice of dinner music. We were very pleased with the entire evening’s entertainment. Previous to the wedding, he addressed several questions we had, having nothing to do with music (serving cupcakes, the prayer, etc.). Also assured us that everything was being taken care of, this was very reassuring for us. At the end of the evening, he left us a very warm, gracious note saying how much he had enjoyed working at our wedding; saying he had been welcomed and treated so very well by our family and friends.
You were accessible; were located in any area easy to reach and park. You immediately got us the event planner, which was extremely helpful. Not having any experience with DJs, we weren’t quite sure what to expect. Our DJ did an outstanding job; was very professional.

Elise & Eric 8/30/2014 – Minneapolis City Hall Rotunda (DJ Rick A)

The DJ was the perfect choice and had a great personality.

Alicia & Tony 8/30/2014 – Queen of Excelsior (DJ Travis M)

Our DJ was awesome! We ended up with some last minute venue changes and Travis was able to go with the flow and improvise as needed.

Emma & Craig 8/29/2014 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ John A)

Our DJ, John, was amazing!! All our wedding guests said, “Your wedding had the best music!” It was a perfect progression of older songs to newer songs. He read the crowd very well, and took song suggestions and mixed them in seamlessly. John had great energy and stage presence! He also checked in with me half way through the night to make sure everything was going smoothly and I really appreciated that. The office staff was extremely friendly and filled us in on all the necessary details.
I loved how Instant Request selected a DJ that was our age because he knew the audience. The dance floor was FULL until the end of the night! 100% I would definitely recommend John!

Jordan and Jake 8/24/18 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (Alex Knight)

We had a great experience with Instant Request at our wedding. Alex Knight was our DJ and really did an incredible job going above and beyond. Your wedding night goes so quick and Alex was so great at keeping things organized, making sure we were on time, and checking in with us throughout the evening. He really knows what he’s doing, making it so easy to trust him completely 🙂 he did a fabulous job keeping our crowd dancing and having a good time all night! Our ceremony sound and music was great as well, everything went flawlessly. We received so many compliments from our guests (of all ages!) about him and would totally recommend him over and over! Thank you again to Alex and instant request- we appreciate you!

Carrie & Yaron 8/24/2014 – Rum River Barn and Vineyard in Hilman (DJ)

Yaron and I live in Europe so we really relied on vendors to communicate with us over email. Instant Request was flexible in this way and always happy to communicate with us in the way that worked best for us. Our DJ was a perfect fit for us and for our guests. I liked the way our DJ seemed to understand us and our vision so quickly. It made us feel confident and required very little effort on our part.

Ellie & Matthew 8/23/2014 – Private Residence (DJ Bengi D)

Bengi was great, we really enjoyed having him, he did an excellent job, and would recommend him any day of the week!

Kris & MiKayla 8/23/2014 – Holiday Inn St. Paul-I-94-East (DJ Eric M)

I just wanted to send an email to your company thanking Eric M for doing an amazing job with our wedding.
He kept the dance floor going all night long, and he helped out in any way possible to make the night wonderful.
We have people coming up to us still after the wedding and telling us how much fun they had, and what a great time the dance floor was.
Eric did and Awesome Job!!

Kaylee & Josh 8/23/2014 – Camp Tanadoona, Excelsior (DJ Justin R)

It was well worth every penny!
Justin was AMAZING! He had a great feel to the evening! He was better than what we were expecting! I really enjoyed the professionalism! From start to finish there was no worry about anything! Justin showed up early ready to look over the area and get everything going! He was fabulous!
The office staff was great! They were prompt with any questions I had in regard to the event! The planner was GREAT!! I really enjoyed using the website! One of the best sites I have used. Yes it was nice to have some lighting in there! We had a tent and when the sun when down it provided a ton of light in the tent for everyone to have blast!

Kimberly & Christopher 8/23/2014 – Eden Prairie Garden Room (DJ Andy M)

Everything went well, Andy M was great!

Cheryl & Nick 8/23/2014 – Oak Glen Golf Club (DJ Kyle M)

The online event planner is the greatest tool. It made it super easy for us to plan out our whole evening. I wouldn’t have thought of a bunch of the questions it asked us. FANTASTIC!! I loved the fact that you could preview the songs and that it gave you song selections for each part of the reception.
Our DJ, Kyle, was fantastic to work with. He had lots of enthusiasm and was flexible when the timing of things would need to change in the evening. He could read the crowd and knew the right songs to play to keep everyone engaged.
I loved the online event planner and I loved the price. Instant Request is a very professional company and I would recommend them to my friends.

Staci & Stephanie 8/22/2014 – Calhoun Beach Club

I don’t know what kind of “match-making” system you have but you would put e-harmony and match.com out of business. He was really easy-going, and awesome to work with. Our guests LOVE to dance and so do we, and he kept the dance floor packed all night long. Even doing mash-ups for song transitions, and working with my maid of honor on her speech. Really responsive and a fun guy. I have been been to weddings where the DJ basically takes a nap and lets the music do the work, but not our DJ. He was present, active, great with our guests and us! Even obliged to “one more song”…I would keep him around! We bought when there was a deal going on, but after experiencing your services, I would pay the original price.

Christina & Matt Quade 8/22/2014 – Crowne Plaza Northstar Downtown Mpls (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was AWESOME, the crowd dug his style and he did an excellent job keeping everyone engaged and on the dance floor!!

Lauren & Alex 8/22/2014 – Eagan Community Center (DJ Alex K)

I thought instant request did a great job. Every time I called with questions the staff was super friendly and helpful! The online event planner was nice. Our DJ Alex did a great job and was super nice and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dj! Thanks Alex and staff for all your help!!!

Nicole & Nicholas 8/16/2014 – Campus Club of the University of Minnesota (DJ Jimmy B)

This was awesome and a great tool! So glad it was there; it took a lot of stress of having to remember songs of the top of your head, and what dances to do, and was really easy to use! Jimmy was AWESOME! He was the perfect fit for our wedding. So nice and friendly!

Kayla & Matthew 8/16/2014 – Lakeside Ballroom in Glenwood (DJ Steve F)

Steve was an awesome DJ, he definitely exceeded my expectations! It was a great price and he made the wedding dance into a great time! I liked that they didn’t have advertisement banners up like other DJ’s and he was very nice and always checked with me on how I would like the music to go for the night. I would definitely recommend Instant Request DJ Entertainment!

Kristina & Joe 8/16/2014 – Mayowood Stone Barn in Rochester (DJ Jason Q)

Very friendly and accommodating! Speedy at emails! I loved how fast and easy it was to work with Instant Request. The DJ knew everything we had put on our play list for both the ceremony and the dance and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!

Ashley & Mitch 8/16/2014– Hastings Country Club (DJ Ryan L)

My DJ (Ryan LaRue) was very good at listening to what I wanted and imagined for my reception. Ryan made it clear that he was there for me and my husband, and he certainly stuck to that. While he took requests and made other guests happy, he made sure we were priority when talking to him or even requesting music. I had a lot of good compliments on our DJ. Great fit for our style, everyone wanted to dance and have a good time so he made sure that happened. I told him I wanted to keep slow songs to a minimum and dollar dance short so I can enjoy my night after months of stress and he did great with that!
I liked that I had the ability to make payments towards our account online (had so many other things to pay for so the amount of time to pay it off was perfect), the online event planner was fun!
DJ’s can be expensive, but I found Instant request to be a bit cheaper than competitors. I know people may be skeptical about being cheaper because often times we hear “you get what you pay for” but you really do get a great experience at a discounted rate! Thank you!!

Anna & Grant 8/15/2014 – Town & Country Club (DJ Justin R)

I can’t say enough good things about Justin and the service. The tool was fantastic and Justin filled in a lot of gaps we we’re thinking of.

Lee & Mike 9/13/2014 – Dakota Lodge in West St. Paul (DJ Jonathan W)

Our DJ was really supportive of how laid back we were and made sure things were working alright. I really appreciated the help with the microphone for speeches. We considered just plugging into the venue’s sound system and doing it ourself, but the price of Instant Request didn’t seem out of our reach in order to have a professional do it. And I’m so glad that we did. All of the work ahead of time really put us at ease. We went to a family wedding a few weeks before ours and the DJ and sound equipment were terrible. Using the website and talking to Jonathan before the day of the wedding calmed our fears.

Shelly & Scott 8/9/2014 – Westin Minneapolis (DJ Kailen N)

My experience with Instant Request has been nothing but great!
Thank you so much for everything!

Autumn & Jonathan 8/9/2014 – Ideal Hall in St. Paul (DJ John A)

The event planner was great it made us feel like we were involved with the music for our wedding. We like that we got to make our own playlist on the event planner and everything we liked was playing. Our
DJ had everyone on their feet all night. Thank you guys for everything John was a great DJ!

Amy & Mike 8/9/2014 – McNamara Alumni Center (DJ Anthony D)

DJ Anthony was awesome!!! He fit our style was accommodating and flexible. Our guests were happy as he played all of their song requests. We were originally supposed to have another DJ but we couldn’t have been matched with anyone better. I liked meeting with the DJ in person prior to our event. Both parties had a better understanding of the events to unfold and it made it more personable.

Hannah & Brian 8/9/2014 – Nicollet Island Pavilion (DJ Bengi D)

Bengi exceeded our expectations. He was incredibly professional, made sure the reception was about us and what we wanted, and most of all was a fun person to have included in our celebration. He absolutely fit our style! We were absolutely thrilled with how it turned out and that he was a part of our wedding! The DJ absolutely made our reception. We didn’t have a lot of specific song requests to be played we just told Bengi we loved to dance and wanted everyone to have a good time. He kept the dance floor packed throughout the entire evening, played a great variety of music that all of our guests could enjoy. We received many compliments from our guests about what a great job they thought he did and what a fun time they had. He was what we liked best about Instant Request! We would recommend Instant Request (as well as the DJ we worked with) to other people.

Gabriela & Christian 8/8/2014 – Bearpath Golf & Country Club (DJ Andrew N)

Everything was wonderful.

Allison & Micah 8/3/2014 – Historic Hope Glen Farm (DJ Justin R)

We loved our experience with Instant Request and Justin! We are so happy we went with you for our DJ vendor.
The online planner made everything very simple and helped us with planning our wedding reception. We really appreciated the communication from Justin that we received before the wedding. He was able to answer a few questions of ours, and I felt confident that he had everything in order for the evening.
Justin was such a wonderful DJ! He was easy to talk to during the reception and did a perfect job transitioning our guests from one place to another. He had great energy and kept our guests dancing the whole evening! We got so many compliments after the wedding about how fun the dance was. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. 🙂
Thank you for everything! It was a perfect reception, and we are so thankful for yours and Justin’s help.

Allie & John 8/2/2014 – Interlachen Country Club (DJ Matt H)

Instant Request always got back to us within a couple of days (usually sooner than that I think!) and provided all necessary info, AS WELL AS next steps — so helpful!
Matt H. was AMAZING!! Meeting with him was very helpful and right from the get go he was excited about the event, and he got on our page right away. We said we wanted a fun dance party – and he more than delivered. He also DJ’d the ceremony and I was really nervous about songs “queing” at the right time and not sounding awkward etc – and I feel silly for even worrying. MATT ROCKED. Numerous guests also told me how AWESOME the DJ was and that it was the best wedding dance they’d been to (and I had a large east coast bratty contingency haha). I cannot say enough great things about how spectacular Matt made the day. In fact, I think my sister is hoping he’ll do her wedding in January (Becky McCarthy)!
I totally thought it would be more expensive and in general I felt like it was affordable for all the greatness!

Kate & Dan 8/2/2014 – Hillcrest Golf (DJ Steve J)Z

All my interactions with the office staff was great! The overall experience with them – I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Some wedding vendors treated you like another number, while working with you we were treated like an individual event that you wanted to be a part of. I really appreciated that!

Jillian & Jared 8/2/2014 – Silverwood Park Visitor Center (DJ Ryan L)

Of all of our wedding vendors, I.R. was by far the most friendly, reliable, easy to reach, and helpful. Our DJ was great. He kept people moving despite the fact that it was a beautiful night outside and a lot of people were partying out there rather than inside. He was also extremely friendly on our phone conversation prior to the wedding and knew how to be helpful on the day of the event.
Friendliness and professionalism from the second I met Mitch at the wedding fair to Ryan wrapping up the night at the wedding. At the wedding fair, almost every other vendor I talked to was rude about being on a budget, impersonal, and uninterested. Mitch was friendly and succinct, giving me all the information I needed in the perfect amount of time. I literally told my mom I wanted to hug him when we left the booth. The emails I received with reminders about due dates and planning along the way were useful and not too frequent. Any questions I had were responded to in a very timely manner. Ryan was helpful, funny, and knowledgeable about his job.

Katelyn & Tim 8/2/2014 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (DJ Chad V)

More than amazing and timely! Answered calls and emails same day and were easy to talk to as well. The DJ was awesome! He was fun, friendly, and very personable with Katelyn, myself, and guests. His style was awesome and the dance floor was seriously packed from the beginning until the end!
We just had the basics that came with normal package and that was perfect! More than enough lights and sounds. 100% of the time I would recommend Instant Request. We actually already recommended to Katelyn’s cousin that is getting married next year. The value of Instant Request was great, it was very comparable to other DJ services and the service that was provided made it worth every penny!

Andrea & Kevin 8/2/2014 – Round Barn Farm in Redwing (DJ Jonathan W)

Jonathan was just so great to work with. He was incredibly easy to talk to on the phone even though we hadn’t met in person, and he listened to all of my requests and did a great job with everything on the wedding day. He was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and he executed everything exactly according to what we discussed. He did a great job of selecting music for the various parts of the day — pre-ceremony, social hour, dinner, and dance — but he also played the music I had selected. The sound and lighting were both great. No difficulty hearing us during the ceremony, and the music was always at a good volume. The lights were great for the dance, but not too over the top.

Rylee & Kyle 8/2/2014 – James J. Hill Reference Library (DJ Robert H)

We did our research for other companies in the area. Instant Request was hands down the most organized, had the best reputation, had a unique style/business plan, and had the best price compared to other companies in the twin cities.
The instant request DJ staff was wonderful. Our questions were always answered in a timely manner and the office hours were convenient for us as well. We loved the online event planner. With the amount of meetings that come with weddings, it was nice to put it all in one place and let the DJ take it from there. YES! We loved Robert! He did a great job of keeping the dance floor alive with our style of music and by reading the crowd.
I like the combination of professionalism and convenience. It was so nice to have only two meetings, fully understand what we need to complete, and have the best DJ chosen for us. The price was also wonderful – you get a lot for your money.

Justine & Trent 8/2/2014 – BayView Event Center (DJ Joey A)

The DJ (Joey) was AWESOME! He fit perfectly for our group of wedding guests. No one wanted him to leave at the end of the night! He was very nice and flexible. I would recommend him to anyone.

Alyssa & Ryan 8/1/2014 – Refuge Golf Club (DJ Matt H)

Matt Houchin was our fabulous DJ! We loved working with him! He was very professional, knowledgeable, and kept the crowd on the dance floor throughout the night. We used Instant Request for both the ceremony and reception music. Matt did absolutely perfect job timing out our ceremony music. It was so perfect it gave me chills.
The Event Planner was also an amazing tool to use. I had so much fun going through the songs and designating my “Must Play List”. Instant Request was always quick to respond to my emails too. I would highly recommend Matt & Instant Request.

Nicole & Josh 7/26/2014 – Happy Gnome in St. Paul (DJ Jeremy L)

Jeremy was great. He kept the group dancing all evening long. Very highly recommended for his ability to read the crowd, play a good mix of music and work in some requests. matched up a DJ to my specific requests for personality type and musical preferences. Thanks for doing a great job and making our wedding night a fun success. I received many compliments about the great DJ.

Lisa & Ryan 7/26/2014 Grand Event Center in Northfield (DJ Alex K)

Alex was great . Very professional and fun! We have already recommended to multiple parties.

Hanna & Alex 7/26/2014 – Golden Valley Golf and Country Club (DJ Travis M)

Travis was extremely helpful and personable; he was the perfect fit for us. We loved the planning software; it made it very easy to not forget anything!

Anjali & Benjamin 7/26/2014 – Semple Mansion (DJ Eric D)

The DJ was perfect for our wedding! He stuck to my list with little deviation!

Meghann & Sam 7/24/2014 – Bar Lurcat (DJ John A)

We were glad to have our DJ direct the flow of the music and the evening. John was exceptional in every sense. Super fun, yet very professional. Could not have been happier. Sound and lighting were terrific. Just enough to light up our space without being tacky or overwhelming. Sound system was also great. Instant Request was a joy to work with. Definitely impressed with the customer service, I had all my questions answered promptly. And John was perfect! Without a doubt, Instant request would be the service I would recommend for any couple’s wedding. Exceptional service and very reasonably priced. Certainly you have the best value in a DJ service I have seen! I can’t imagine a better value in a service. Completely full-service, full-day coverage, and exceptional staff DJs.

Elizabeth & Evan 7/20/2014 – Dellwood Country Club (DJ Rick A)

The DJ was so good. He was better than I expected & was very professional. He was such a good fit for our wedding. He handled my mother perfectly and really helped the guests get into copy-cat kissing & all the dancing. How they took care of everything on the day. It ran so smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I loved how they talked with the other vendors and were so professional.
Yes, I think for all the work they did and how much stress they took away from me on the day, it was definitely worth every penny.
Thanks for everything!

Lyndi & Danny 7/19/2014 – Residence (DJ Kailen N)

We had an excellent experience with Instant Request. Office staff was very friendly and helpful every time we talked. The online planner was great and really helped us think through everything. Kailen was an awesome DJ. He got there early to set up the PA system for the wedding, allowing the musicians to sound check and practice. Cocktail hour music was exactly what we wanted. He read the crowd perfectly during the reception and flowed seamlessly from song to song. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last

Elizabeth & Michael 7/19/2014 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ Nate A)

Nate did an amazing job and we were so happy we had him as our DJ. The music was great all night long and he did such a great job of adjusting to the crowd. He also did a great job during the dinner and speeches… and helping with our “couple trivia”.We were very happy with the job he did.
It was easy to custom build a play list and we were happy that we could choose our own DJ.

Christina & Wally 7/19/2014 – Prestwick Golf Club (DJ Kyle B)

Kyle Bennett was such a great DJ! He was very kind, friendly, and did such an amazing job keeping the dance floor packed the entire night! He followed our wishes to a “T” and we had nothing but positive comments about him from our guests. We would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who asks! We liked the fact that it was easy to work with you. It was great to have the online planner and to be able to put everything into one place and have everyone on the same page. We never had to worry about things going wrong with the DJ. We felt very confident that you had it covered and we knew it would be a successful night of dancing because of that!
The online event planner was extremely helpful!! It was so nice to have all the questions answered before talking with the DJ. Some of the items on the planner were things we wouldn’t have thought to have a plan for, but we were so glad we did! It was great to know the timeline of the night ahead of time. It cut down on any worries we would have had about how things would play out the day of.

Krista & Dolan 7/19/2014 – Private Residence (DJ Eric M)

Eric was awesome! We loved him!

Jillian & Tony 7/19/2014 – Lafayette Club (DJ Anthony D)

The black-tie service was worth every penny and getting to meet Anthony up front was great. Anthony exceeded our expectations and was a perfect fit for our style. I think he did exactly what we asked, which was to be an MC, give us directions, but not take over the wedding either. Anthony was great!
The best was probably a combination of Anthony being a good fit for us as well as the on-line planner. The planner just makes everything easy for us and we don’t need to call or ask about every little detail but can just put it all into the planner (like requesting music you did not have).
We had a lot of guests comment on how good the music was and how good the DJ was. We would definitely recommend to others and put in a special recommendation for Anthony as well.
Pricing was great. We reserved just about a year and half out and were able to secure a big discount too. Compared to others you were on par or just under so it was a great value. The DJ price also then motivated us to keep everything under the same company when we added the up lighting and the DVD and screen service.

Stephanie & Ryan 7/12/2014 – Villa Bellezza in Pepin, WI (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was a great fit and a fantastic DJ for our day/night!! Anthony packed our dance floor. He did a fantastic job and it was well worth booking specifically him! For a summer wedding in the prime of wedding season… It was in line with other competitors but, the guarantee of having DJ Anthony booked specifically …was worth the added cost.

Catherine & Andrew 7/12/2014 – St. Anthony Main Event Centre (DJ Jason Q)

Our DJ was Jason Quaynor and he was fabulous. Very professional and friendly, and we had a great time planning with him. He took really, really good care of us and was also very professional in dealing with one of our more inebriated guests who kept hitting on him. Our apologies for that!
Jason had our music tastes, styles perfectly. We could find almost any song we wanted somehow.

Kristi & Andy 7/12/2014 – Depot Minneapolis (DJ Rick A)

He was amazing! So easy to work with and did a wonderful job. Friendly, easy to work with, focused on us and making our day great.

Quinn & Jeffrey 7/12/2014 – Fort Snelling Club (DJ Charlie Mitchell)

I thought the DJ’s who were assigned to the reception for Quinn and Jeff were wonderful. They did an excellent job of playing what the kids chose, and were attentive to the mood of the party, the people, dancing etc.!! They were perfect. I was very pleased with Instant Request and would certainly recommend your company to others. Thanks so much for helping to bring such a memorable event to our guests!!

Camille & Adam 7/12/2014 – Kellerman’s Event Center (DJ Tom C)

The office staff was great. Mitch was super helpful in our initial meeting as well as with email support throughout. Instant Request matched us up with a great DJ. They absolutely met our expectations. The price combined with the service was sooo easy to work with. I will definitely recommend Instant Request.

Russ & Trevor 7/5/2014 – Loews Hotel (DJ Anthony D)

Special thanks to Shawn and Mitch for taking extra good care of us! Anthony exceeded all expectations and the dance floor was packed the whole night. The event planning software gave us a lot of peace-of-mind, throughout the wedding planning process things changed and we thought of new ideas/songs, it was really nice to be able to just login in and make sure we had everything captured correctly rather than having to manually make a list or call on the phone.

Beth & Eric 7/2/2014 – Riverwood Inn & Conference Center (DJ Jeremy L)

Our DJ was AWESOME! Our dance floor was packed from 7:30 until 1:00am. Although we had many songs picked out, we asked him to play whatever kept people on the dance floor. We had a blast.

Betsy & Logan 06/29/2014 – Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake (DJ Jason M)

If the bride and groom wish to have a family appropriate dance party, I would highly recommend this DJ. He was exactly what we were looking for! The online event planner was extremely thorough and helpful for walking through the entire evening and made sure all requests were accounted for. Our DJ was fantastic! He was able to read the room and keep the energy up and dance party going all evening!! Our guests LOVED the clicking of the glass game that we played where the guests kiss in the way that they want to newlyweds to kiss. I loved that our DJ was able to read the room and choose songs that all ages would enjoy in order to keep the majority of people dancing all evening!

Shilpa & Dan 6/28/2014 – Day Block Building (DJ John A)

Everyone was great to work with! The planner software was very useful! John was awesome! We loved having him as our DJ and would recommend him to anyone else! Everything was great!

Ashley & Jon 6/28/2014 – Refuge Golf Club (DJ Jason M)

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would email with any questions and Instant Request was able to give my knowledgeable answers in a very timely manner. Yes I thought that the online event planner was very useful. It was great to have ideas and suggestions for the ceremony music, first dances, cake cutting, cocktail hour, bouquet/garter toss as well as songs I wanted to be played during the actual dance. It was nice to see how the reception would play out.
Jason did a great job and was pleasant, friendly and easy to work with. He said if I needed I could call, email, text anytime throughout the planning and process which was very nice, helpful and reassuring.
We also raffled off a shotgun at our wedding and Jason was great at announcing when we would be selling tickets, was awesome at narrowing down the winner and really got the crowd involved and excited with anticipation.

Darcy & Tom 6/28/2014 – Hope Glen Farm in Cottage Grove (DJ Bengi D)

Bengi was amazing! The DJ that you paired us with was fantastic. He was very accommodating, very flexible, was able to handle any issues that came up the day of. We were more than happy with him. Price was very competitive and fair.

Jessica & Chris 6/28/2014 – Minikahda Club (DJ Nate A)

Nate did a really great job at my wedding. I didn’t want a lot of microphone use or auctioneer talking by the DJ and he did (or didn’t do) just what I asked for! Props to NATE!

Sarah & Andrew 6/28/2014 – Macalester College (DJ Matt H)

All in all – a wonderful experience.
All of the staff I worked with were wonderful; after we signed the initial contract, staff realized we had other friends that used your company and they asked if we wanted anyone specific. That was really nice!
The software was awesome and I hope really helpful for our DJ. By the time we had our conversation a couple weeks before the wedding, it was super easy to run through everything. The music selection is huge and wonderful! We really appreciated all the options provided.

Lauren & Dustin 6/21/14 – Loews Minneapolis Hotel (DJ Nate Anderson)

Nate from Instant Request was our DJ and lighting consultant. We had a DJ for our cocktail hour and to play when our band was on break. Nate was fantastic. He coordinated with the band to make sure that there was no overlap on the songs and made extra effort to get songs that matched our personality. The lighting he provided really made our event. Everything was effortless with Instant Request, which is exactly what you want with such a big event.

Jessica & Aaron 6/21/2014 – Chambers Hotel Mpls (Le Meridien) (DJ Alex K)

The online planning system was great and easy to use! We loved being able to preview songs and put together a list of our favorites songs to share with our DJ. Alex was PHENOMENAL – he went above and beyond the entire day (and leading up to the day) and was great at reading the crowd and keeping the party going! We really enjoyed the ease of the online event planner and we can’t say enough how impressed we were with our DJ.

Katia & Ryan 6/21/2014 – Stoneridge Golf Club (DJ Anthony D)

We worked with Instant Request to DJ our ceremony and reception. Anthony D was awesome! Everything went flawlessly with the ceremony and he kept the dance floor packed at the reception. He was awesome!

Lean and John 6/21/2014 – Blaisdell Manor (DJ Andrew N)

The attentive manner of your office staff sold me at the outset! The event planner software was exceptionally useful! It allowed me to become organized in terms of timeline for the event and then inspired other questions I would need to ask or consider when planning out the rest of the event. Andrew was very courteous and professional! He received music requests from guests and the bridal party throughout the night, and everyone had an enjoyable evening as a result! I would wholeheartedly recommend the use of your service to other brides or any major event requiring music, audio and/or lighting! Instant Request is the whole package for bringing all of the elements of an event together!

Amber & Steve 6/14/2014 – Target Field (DJ Charlie T)

Awesome DJ!

Laura & Benjamin 6/14/2014 – Guardian Angels Parish in Oakdale (DJ Doug L)

The DJ was AWESOME! We received lots of compliments about him! Very professional, friendly, kept everyone on the dance floor!

Courtney & Mike 6/14/2014 – U of M Arboretum in Chaska (DJ Brandon H)

We loved the online event planner. It was so helpful to be able to set out the timeline and all of our preferences in the planner. It was one of my favorite things about Instant Request. Brandon was great. He was on top of everything and played great music.

Lyndsey & Chris 6/7/2014 – Minneapolis City Hall Rotunda (DJ Zach V)

The staff was very responsive to emails/phone calls. Our DJ was a very good fit for us, we really enjoyed having Zach at our wedding. The DJ also had very good spacing/planning on how/when he played songs. The pricing was comparable to other providers and I think you provide a better service compared to other weddings I have been to.

Kelly & Brian 6/7/2014 – Erte Restaurant (DJ Sean M)

Our DJ did SUCH a great job, we really liked him! We will definitely be recommending Instant Request to others.

Abigail & Steven 6/7/2014 – Olympic Hills Golf Club (DJ Jason Z)

Quality song selection, good handling of the playlist during the wedding, ability to keep things going and not linger on a song if it was dying on the dance floor, professionalism and good service

Jayne & Andrew 6/7/2014 – Edgewood Farm (DJ Kailen N)

Kalen was awesome!!!! We cannot say enough good things. He was accommodating, kind, and professional. He helped throw a great party.

Vanessa & Jonathan 6/7/2014 – Winehaven Winery (DJ Everett M)

Office Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Style was great – classy, but up for a great time! His smile, politeness, and professionalism were exceptional.

Carly & Nate 6/7/2014 – St. Paul Union Depot (DJ Charles D)

Charlie was phenomenal! We can’t say enough good things about him. He kept everyone dancing until the bitter end. We really appreciate how he carried the night and our venue was a tough one for sound and he still did a great job. The office staff was definitely friendly and accommodating from the first call to our last!

Molly & Nyle 6/6/2014 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (DJ Justin R)

Loved the event planner and the fact that we could select our style as well as eliminate unwanted music. Our DJ went beyond our expectations, He did an awesome job! We loved that we could rely on your expertise and experiences at Aria to create the best evening possible for us!

Mary & Josiah 5/31/2014 – St. James Hotel (DJ Rick A)

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He did everything we asked and then some. The DJ was a good fit for our wedding. Great personality and kept everything going throughout the night. Professional staff, genuine, on time and very detailed in what they were doing and offering.

Angie & Reed 5/31/2014 – Rosenwood Farm (DJ Travis B)

Travis was INCREDIBLE. He really was an absolute delight to work with. He was flexible, empathic and so incredibly pleasant with all of our guests. It absolutely poured on our wedding day and he was fabulous about watching the weather, speeding us up when we could get something done in between downpours (like the grand march) and keeping the timeline flexible when it got a little pushed around because of weather.

Meghan & Tyler 5/31/2014 – Camrose Hill Farm (DJ Charlie M)

Charlie was great. He definitely followed our preferred genres and responded to the guests well with great music choices! The lighting definitely adds a little something to the dance party!! The event planner was such a great help to planning our music selections for the day and evening and even to help plan other details as well.

Lesley & Zeiter 5/31/2014 – Atlas Grill (DJ Jason Q)

Jason was a great fit for us and very accommodating to our event since we alternated between DJ and live singer. Everything looked and sounded great!

Staci & Mark 5/31/2014 – TPC Golf Club in Blaine (DJ John A)

John A. was an EXCELLENT FIT! He was high energy, was very polite to our guests and was probably the highlight of our reception. Every guest commented on how much fun he looked like he was having and how good of a job he did. We could not recommend him highly enough. (I would give him a 15 on a 10 point scale)
The online event planner was VERY GOOD! It really helped my bride and I to figure out what it was we wanted. We were very thankful that our DJ walked us through our selections and was able to help provide additional input and clarifications. The sound and lighting system was bigger and grander than we had envisioned for the base package. We were very happy with the equipment and John’s knowledge of his set up.
We got a great package with an AMAZING DJ for an even better price. We definitely got more than we expected! As a price conscious shopper I thought that I was sacrificing on DJ to spend money elsewhere. It turned out that we got way more value for way less money than we had expected. Instant Request is competitively priced, their services are amazing and they DJs know how to throw a party!! I would recommend Instant Request to others without hesitation.

Raya & Mike 5/31/2014 – Day Block Building (DJ Ryan W)

Ryan was absolutely fantastic. He followed all of our requests in the planner, was pretty hands off and played a perfect mix. Would not change a thing! Response time to emails was VERY quick, which was greatly appreciated. We absolutely LOVED the event planner, it was one of our decision making factors and would recommend it to anyone! Most of our songs for the night were chosen by us, such a cool feeling! I also liked that there was a deadline, it gave us a goal to finish ahead of time!
We had not issues with the sound at all and the uplights looked great, along with the lighting on the dance floor!

Nikki & Chad 5/31/2014 – Radisson Blu at MOA (DJ Ryan L)

Yes, I usually talked with Mitch and he was very helpful and always answered my questions in a timely matter. We loved the online event planner. Our DJ was fantastic, he did an excellent job watching the crowd and keeping them on the dance floor along with playing our must have songs. We loved the online event planner most, which is why we choose your company. We liked that there were song list ideas for whatever genre we were looking for and we liked that we could ask for a few special songs if you didn’t currently carry it. We also liked that we had the option on sitting down with our DJ or just talking everything through over the phone. We did the phone because of schedules and everything went very smoothly!
We loved your company. The people we talked with were very knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt. The DJ was great and a perfect fit for what we wanted.

Katie & Mark 5/31/2014 – Bearpath Golf Club (DJ Travis M)

Everything went great!

Aurelia & Gavin 5/30/2014 – Golden Valley Golf Club (DJ Zach V)

I really do love the online event planner. It covers all the details that you think about and others you don’t so it’s great to have everything in one place. An AMAZING value!!

Emily & Jeff 5/30/2014 – Saint Catherine University (DJ Justin R)

Always! Everyone I talked to was super friendly and accommodating. Our DJ Justin R was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He met and went far above our expectations. We were so pleased with the way our dance turned out. He played all of our favorite songs and kept everyone on the dance floor. Almost 75% of our guests stuck around to the end of our dance, which was so neat. He deserves a raise 🙂
We got the early booking deal that was being promoted when we signed up. That’s a GREAT deal for a DJ, especially with how things turned out.
Thank you so much!!!! We are so glad we picked Instant Request for our DJ service. No regrets!

Katie & David 5/24/2014 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (DJ Anthony D)

Very friendly! Everything was on time, we never had to wait for a response and all of our questions were always answered. We especially enjoyed walking into the office and the office staff already knowing who we are before we even said our names :)!!
The event planner was great to have! I not only loved being able to plan out every detail, down to what played when, I loved being able to go through the incredibly large selection of songs! This came in handy and helped a ton!
I honestly could not have asked for a better DJ! We are STILL getting compliments on how much he set the scene with everything from the music to the ambiance. Everything! I mean I loved how the music really did flow from dinner music, to older fun music for the older crowd to dance, to fun club music! I loved how the room looked with the lighting monogram “KHD” on the dance floor. And Anthony was GREAT!

Erin & Claude 5/25/2014 – Minneapolis City Hall Rotunda (DJ Kailen N)

We worked with Instant Request to do our ceremony, reception music and uplighting for the venue. They were super helpful all along the way and the online song-management tool is ADDICTIVE. The up-lighting was a great way to add mood to the venue as the night went on. Our DJ, Kailen, was great at reading the crowd, and kept people dancing all night. Everyone highly recommends this company for a reason.

Emilee & Jeff 5/25/2014 – Mill City Museum (DJ Charlie M)

We had Charlie from Instant Request as our DJ. During both the ceremony and the reception, he was flawless. The dance floor was packed all evening.
The Event Planner was very helpful and gave us confidence that our DJ would be organized and play what we wanted. We liked the distinction between “must plays” and “suggested plays”. Charlie was amazing! By far one of the highlights of our wedding. The dance floor was packed for the majority of the evening. He did an excellent job of playing what we absolutely wanted while mixing in some of our suggestions with his own picks. He even managed to mix in a polka at the request of the groom’s mom that didn’t clear the dance floor. He was very good about being responsive to us throughout the dance, and he played a pretty epic series of songs to wind down the dance. It was great.
We were a bit nervous about the ceremony sound because of those specific instructions, but when he pulled it off smoothly, we knew the rest of the night would be great.
We really liked the Event Planner. We also liked the overall professionalism (website, Event Planner, DJ’s attire, etc), which is part of what drew us to Instant Request in the first place.
Instant Request might be a little more expensive than the others, but it was totally worth it. They were great.

Laura & Tyler 5/25/2014 – James J. Hill Reference Library

Our DJ was excellent, many folks commented on how good the DJing was. We felt that the music played really reflected well the choices we made in the online software. It felt like us. 🙂

Jenna & Mike 5/25/2014 – TPC Golf Club in Blaine (DJ Zach V)

We were on a very tight budget and were able to get a promotional discount. It was a great value to begin with, but knowing now what a great service we were provided, if we hadn’t gotten the promotion I would still consider it a good value. We loved the amazing DJ, staff, and the online planner.

Katie & Kevin 5/24/2014 – Cadillac Ranch in Maple Lake (DJ Jason F)

Our DJ was very accommodating in setting up a time to talk when it was convenient for us. We could not have asked for a better DJ, he did a fantastic job!
We were able to inform you upfront the type of dance we wanted and you were able to match our needs to one of you many DJ’s. Each wedding is different, and we were able to customize our reception to our needs. No one at Instant Request tried to make us change our minds in regards to the choices we were making. Everyone was very willing to make our day special. Everything was perfect.

Kelsey & Marc 5/24/2014 – Cafe Lurcat (DJ Nate A)

Our DJ, Nate, was AMAZING, and definitely exceeded our expectations. He kept everyone on the dance floor, until 2 am, and I had several comments from guests about what a great job he did! We thought the online event planner was very helpful during our initial meeting with our DJ. The answers from the event planner gave the DJ a better idea of what we were looking for. I thought the questions about specific songs (i.e. the Macarena) was a good idea.
We really liked the professionalism of the DJ. Nate truly loves his job and did such an excellent job reading us and playing music that would fit our taste AND keep people dancing. He was incredible thorough and timely with emails. If I had to do it again I would not hesitate to choose Instant Request as my DJ service.

Katie & Michael 5/24/2014 – Wayzata Country Club (DJ Steve F)

Everyone was very helpful and timely in answering our questions! . It was great being able to customize everything and have it all in one place. It was nice being able to make selections a little bit at a time and take a break and come back to it when we wanted to.
Steve was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. He was so accommodating and let us add in songs that weren’t on the online planner list and helped my dad to customize a surprise father-daughter dance song. At the reception, Steve checked in with us multiple times during the evening to run things by us, which we really liked. It was great to feel like we knew what was going on and that we could make any last minute changes we wanted to. He was so nice and definitely fit our style. He had a great way of making our wide variety of music selections flow nicely throughout the evening.
The level of professionalism, the ability to customize everything, and the customer service were all at a wonderful value.

Tracy & Nick 5/24/2014 – Medina Entertainment Center (DJ Mike M)

We had Mike M. (DJ Milk) for our wedding dance. He was great – kept everyone dancing and played songs from our playlist as directed. . Price/value isn’t beatable!

Jackie & Ryan 5/23/2014 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (DJ Matt H)

Yes he did a great job. I thought he was a good fit. I liked how easy it was to use the online event planner.

Katy Huntley & Kevin 5/17/2014 – Midland Hills Golf Club (DJ Ryan L)

We had zero problems getting questions answered or getting a hold of someone. The online event planner was genius. I am very picky when it comes to music and being able to pick out every song I wanted to hear and even songs I didn’t want to hear was very useful. The DJ exceeded our expectations. We were worried that people would not dance but the dance floor was full all night and we still get compliments on the music and DJ. My favorite part was the interaction between us and the DJ. The DJ listened to us to customize what will be played and respected out taste in music. Also, the online feature was wonderful to work with. Best value in town.

Alyssa & Matt 5/17/2014 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (DJ John A)

We liked the, friendly staff, pre-set lists to select music from, wide variety of music, flexibility to choose songs and rely on an expert DJ. He was amazing! We would recommend him to all of our friends.

Lindsey & Jason 5/17/2014 – Edina Country Club (DJ Ryan W)

Absolutely! Instant Request was recommended to us and we were very happy with the level of service we received. Ryan was great and helpful and listened to what we wanted. He was definitely a good fit and all of our friends and family danced well into the night! Very good value for the level of service received.

Mandy & Luke 5/17/2014 – Tanners Brook Golf Club in Forest Lake (DJ Anthony D)

The DJ was absolutely perfect! He was the best. So perfect, outgoing, fun, listened to our requests. Did and awesome job!

Brittany & Brian 5/17/2014 – Town & Country Club (DJ Charles D)

I really liked the online event planner. Very easy to use and the ‘build your own playlist’ is brilliant. Everything turned out better than how I imagined it. I liked that everyone was very easy to work with. I received answers to my questions right away and IR was right there when i had a problem, willing to fix it.

Amey & Sara 5/17/2014 – Atlas Grill (DJ Whitney N)

LOVED our DJ (Whitney), the communication prior to the wedding was easy and she assured us that it would all be taken care of and it was seamless for the ceremony and the dance. She was fun and was the right fit for what we wanted for our wedding. The event planner was awesome, very user friendly and fun to use. The Online planner was very helpful in preparing for our wedding, it actually made us think more in depth about what we would want since there were so many questions. Everyone we had contact with was helpful and professional.

Jen & Jen 5/17/2014 – Bearpath Golf Club (DJ Rick A)

We had Rick as our DJ and he did a FANTASTIC job. He listened to our selection of music choices, and did a great job of playing the songs we chose as well as similar songs to keep our group rocking all night! He kept the dance floor packed, and was very attentive to everything that we needed. He offered great suggestions, and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! We had a pre-wedding meeting with him over the phone so he could gauge our personalities, and approach the wedding in the way that was best for us. We couldn’t have been happier!!

Erika & Joseph 5/17/2014 – Kilkarney Hills Golf Club (DJ Jason Q)

I want to say thank you again for the awesome service, our DJ (Jason) exceeded our expectations immensely.  He did a wonderful job, and we have gotten numerous compliments how our wedding was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to.  Awesome job Jason!

Jinnie & Chris 3/29/2014 – Grand Event Center in Northfield (DJ Andrew N)

Instant Request was the best value we saw when booking and definitely worth it.

Janene & Tom 3/22/2014 – Semple Mansion (DJ Kjell N)

We received SEVERAL compliments on our DJ. So many people were dancing…from the beginning of the dance, to the end…that we had to move tables to accommodate all the bodies/dance moves.

Karla and Chris 3/7/2014 – Wabasha Street Caves (DJ Justin R)

I just wanted to thank you again for being so awesome last night!! Everyone had a blast and there was always someone on the dance floor!!
We appreciate the attention to detail and concern for the sound during the ceremony. You Rock!!

Pam & Chris 3/1/2014 – Silver Lake Auditorium (DJ John A)

EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating. I called once with a question and was blown away by the kindness and promptness of the service. John was our DJ and was also prompt with emails and phone calls he SURPASSED OUR EXPECTATION. He was a perfect fit for us and went above and beyond his responsibility to make everything memorable and stress free. I can’t speak more highly of John A. He was so easy to work with and took care of us. We didn’t have to worry about anything. He was organized, thoughtful and we had FUN!! I also liked the simplicity of the event planner. THANK YOU for making our day so special!

Ellie & Zhiming 3/1/2014 – James J. Hill Reference Library (DJ Zach V)

The online event planner made it easy to plan the event and then make changes as needed. The DJ confirmed everything so I could adjust at that point as well. We left it up to Zach primarily and he did a good job. He was very professional. For the speeches the sound system was better than I thought it would be, it was easy to hear.

Betsy and Matthew 2/22/2014 – Edinburgh USA Golf Club (DJ Rick A)

Rick Ausland was our DJ for our wedding day and he was absolutely wonderful!!! He added such a calm, friendly & professional demeanor to the night which is exactly what we had hoped for. Everything we wanted to adjust as the night evolved he was extremely accommodating on and did exactly what we asked when we asked. I would recommend Rick & instant request without hesitation to anyone looking for a DJ service for their big day.

Thanks again RICK you were AWESOME and made our wedding day perfect!!

Annie & Levi 2/22/2014 – Landmark Center (DJ Steve F)

We loved our DJ! He did an amazing job. The lighting was perfect. It really set the mood. He made sure that every song we wanted played was played. He would give us a timeline of how much time we had left in the evening and asked what songs we wanted for sure to be played. the DJ was very flexible. We did not plan to have a guarder toss, but spurr of the moment I asked him if he could find a song so we could do it. He didn’t miss a beat. It was awesome!

Kristi & Ted 2/22/2014 – Mendakota Golf Club (DJ Brandon H)

It was fun going through the songs together, and definitely helped us communicate to our DJ what we liked. Brandon was an awesome DJ. Very friendly, and even got in on a flash mob coordinated by the groom’s sister. We loved him for our dance–there were people on the dance floor the whole night!

Erica & Marc 2/15/2014 – Golden Valley Golf Club (DJ Steve F)

Steve was super. He was so great with all my requests, addressed my concerns, and made me feel comfortable that he’d take care of everything – and he did! The flow of the reception was awesome, he read the crowd, and totally delivered. Everyone had so much fun!

Maureen & Thomas 1/25/2014 – St. Paul College Club (DJ Nate A)

DJ Nate is the best DJ in Minneapolis. DJ Nate exceeded our expectations in every way. The sound and lighting was perfect from beginning to end. I could not have imagined a better out come. I will continually recommend Instant Request to everyone I know, Instant Request is the #1 DJ company in MPLS.

Tessa & Adam 12/31/2013 – 601 Graves (DJ Rick A.)

When we had our initial meeting we got about 10 steps out of the office before we turned around and said Yes for instant request! Everyone we dealt with was friendly, accommodating and got back to us immediately, which is great when planning for an event like a wedding! Rick “The Tap Dancer” Ausland was amazing. The only thing that we didn’t care for was that the night had to end!

Mandi & Matt 12/7/2013 – Grand Palms Event Center in Chaska (DJ Joey A)

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding reception and wish we could do it all over again! We would like to give a big thank you to Joey, for playing some ‘NSYNC! 🙂 We had been to a wedding prior that had used Instant Request and we thought the entertainment was great.  When we began the search for our DJ for our wedding, we had met with a couple other companies, and Instant Request just stuck out so much more to us than the others. We loved everything about your company. The speedy response, the attentive customer service, and the overall end result. Joey was a great DJ, played all the songs we wanted and more, he was accommodating and attentive the whole night. Definitely, definitely going to recommend Instant Request to all our friends/family/co-workers, etc! Thank you, thank you for making our wedding reception the best!

Erin & Dan 11/9/2013 – Semple Mansion (DJ Nate A)

Everyone was wonderful, from start to finish! Nate was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. We had countless compliments of Nate and the music! Nate made the night so easy for us! I was nervous about the timing for everything…grand march, speeches, first dance, etc. He handled everything so we could just sit back and enjoy. He also checked in with us to see how everything was going and if we were enjoying the music. He definitely cares! All the stress was taken off our plate and it was the most wonderful night. We were the last two on the dance floor and didn’t want it to end! Thank you, Nate, for making it such a special night for us!

Erin & Jonah 11/9/2013 – Great Hall (St. Paul) (DJ Travis M)

We want to say that Travis was the BEST…not OK, good enough, or merely acceptably professional. He did a great job. He had a friendly attitude, played a good mix of our list / requests / his adds, and made everything easy for us. Our favorite vendor of the day. Couldn’t recommend him or Instant Request any more strongly. Thank you for your part in making our wedding a wonderful day!

Mara & Joshua 11/2/2013 – Vadnais Heights Commons (DJ Brandon H)

I loved that Instant Request is established and has a good reputation with MN brides. I felt that I could book with Instant Request without having to go back and forth to ensure you guys were trustworthy, good quality, etc. I felt that I could contact the office and expect a knowledgeable and timely response. It was nice to trust you guys and focus my attentions on more demanding tasks.

Laura 10/26/2013 – Edinburgh USA Golf Club (DJ Mark K)

Yes! He seemed like a perfect fit for our style. He was calm and relaxed yet did the job and kept things going. He seemed very professional and didn’t get overly involved or “hyped up”, which we appreciated. It was just the right amount of interaction and it was great to not have to worry about things, he was on top of it all. The event planner was very useful! It even helped in figuring out what all we wanted to have during the reception – grand march, dances, speeches, etc. We liked how you matched us with a DJ based on our responses on the event planner and what we were looking for. Mark seemed to fit perfectly into the overall “feel” we wanted for our day.

Lindsay & Danny 10/26/2013 – Harriet Island Pavilion (DJ Zach V)

Everyone had a blast and kept telling us it was one of the most fun weddings they had been to in a long time. We had a groomsman in the wedding party who owns a DJ company, and even he had great things to say about Zach!

Kristen & Colin 10/26/2013 – Rush Creek Golf Club (DJ Andrew N)

One of the best DJs and music we have seen/heard based on the weddings we have been to!

Sydney & Nick 10/26/2013 – The Grands at Mulligans in Sartell (DJ John A)

John was the GREATEST DJ EVER! He was friendly and accommodating. Many guests commented that not only was he the best DJ they’ve ever heard at a wedding, but also that he seemed like a great guy. We agree!

Jen & Michael 10/25/2013 – Wabasha Street Caves (DJ Brandon H)

Our DJ Brandon was amazing! He fit just perfectly into our event, our reception rocked and he made the right calls to make it always entertaining and not boring. Everything sounded great, if people have an event in the Wabasha Street Caves St. Paul, I’d definitely suggest Instant Request again.

Heather & Heath 10/25/2013 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (DJ Steve F)

The DJ was great and exactly what we wanted. He was friendly, kept the party going and had a easy-going personality that we liked. I liked how helpful they were when we had questions. They were great when it came to our last minute decision to use their equipment for the ceremony in addition to the dance. Yes, the value was good. We received good service for a reasonable price.

Lizzie & Dustin 10/19/2013 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ Rick A)

Rick. He’s the man and did a great job.

Emilie & Ryan 10/18/2013 – MN History Center (DJ Matt H)

Matt was awesome! He did a really great job – kept the party going, was on-top of his game and was an all around great guy. After the wedding we received many compliments about Matt!!! Every interaction – mostly email, but the calls too – was awesome. Super helpful, incredibly professional!

Steffanie & Benjamin 10/12/2013 – MN History Center (DJ Matt H)

Our DJ exceeded our expectations. He was warm, friendly, professional, and kept our party going all night!

Katie & Nick 10/12/2013 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (DJ Jason Z)

Jason Z was amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He fit our style perfectly and did an amazing job.

Catherine & Matt 10/12/2013 – Tartan Park (DJ Jason M)

He was great. Excellent mix. Dance floor was full all night. Friendly, accommodating, music mix. Allowed Uncle Dave to sing two songs.

Brittany & Cody 10/12/2013 – Crowne Plaza Northstar Downtown Mpls (DJ Tom E)

Tom was AWESOME!!! Definitely fit our style. He checked in with me periodically to make sure we were timing everything correctly. He was super patient with me as I was trying to make decisions and remember everything. After researching other local DJ companies, Instant Request is an excellent value and, even though I had expectations, they were still exceeded.

Nicole & Brandon 10/11/2013 – Chateau St. Croix Winery and Vineyard (DJ Matt H)

Organized and personalized service.

Emily & Robbie 10/6/2013 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ Nate A)

Nate was great! He was very friendly and helpful when we had concerns or questions about what to play. He read the room well and knew what to play when.

Andrea & Jim 10/5/2013 – Minikahda Club (DJ Rick A)

I was in a wedding last year that had a DJ for both the ceremony and reception. He came late to the ceremony and didn’t have all the music my friend had requested for the ceremony! I never had to worry that something like that would happen. Rick was well-prepared and early 🙂

Christina & Ryan 10/5/2013 – Lost Spur Golf Course in Eagan (DJ Zach V)

I had a wonderful experience with instant request, I liked how accommodating the DJ was. He listened to everything I wanted and everything turned out perfect.

Jonna & Bryan 10/4/2013 – Mill City Museum (DJ Justin R)

The online event planner was extremely useful and helpful. Justin was absolutely perfect! He was attentive to our requests and brought a lot of energy to our wedding. He couldn’t have done a better job with our sports style introductions; we’ve received so many compliments!

Jamie & TJ 10/4/2013 – Carlson Rotunda (DJ  Anthony D)

Anthony D. was our DJ, and he was wonderful!  He kept me on the dance floor all night which is exactly how I hoped it would be.  Multiple guests also told me that they loved Anthony.He played great music all night which was incredibly important to me.  It was perfect!  I also loved the online event planner.  So helpful! The DJ and all Instant Request services were amazing!!!

Danielle & Sam 9/28/2013 – 514 Studios (DJ Kailen N)

Kailen was fantastic. Perfect fit for our style.

Katelyn & Christopher 9/28/2013 – Mendakota Golf Club (DJ Laura K)

The event planner was probably my favorite part of wedding planning. She was absolutely fantastic! I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. She had great energy and was so professional. I LOVED her. I loved being able to tailor the event planner to match my style and I loved that I knew the style would be played the night of my wedding. Music is really important to me so it really made my night to hear songs that I loved playing during my reception and dinner.

Kelsey & Eric 9/28/2013 – 601 Graves (DJ Jason Z)

Jason Z met our expectations and beyond! He was a great fit for our style.  We literally had to push our guests out the door at 12:30am. The dance floor was not bare once throughout the night…we couldn’t have asked Jason to anything better!

Mackensie & Drew 9/28/2013 (DJ John A.)

I liked how accommodating they were when we had to change our DJ a few weeks before the wedding. I also liked how John worked so hard to ensure we were having a good time. He also was dressed very professional and acted in that manner the whole time all the while seeming like he was having a blast with us! We had people of the dance floor all night long, which is exactly what we wanted!I would 100% recommend them and already have!

Dana & PJ 9/28/2013 – Private Residence (DJ Tom E)

I LOVED having Tom as our DJ.  He was absolutely fabulous. (You should give him a raise!) Everyone was on the dance floor. In fact, my guests kept commenting how awesome Tom was. We are so grateful for him. He was on top of everything, he was in constant communication with us, and everyone danced!

Meg & Jeremy 9/21/2013 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (DJ Tim O)

The office staff was great. The first impression I received was friendly and made me feel like I had that person’s full attention – and one of the reasons we went with Instant Request. The online event planner was GREAT it was very helpful and also allowed us to really plan out our night.
Thanks again for all your attention to detail and planning!!! We really appreciated it – you guys made us feel like we weren’t just “another client”.

Heidi & Patrick 9/21/2013 – Eagan Community Center (DJ Travis B)

Travis was a great DJ. He was extremely professional, and did a fantastic job. We could not have asked for better. He showed up early, to set everything up and coordinate with us. He was not intrusive but took care of what needed to be done. His music selection and DJing skills were second to none. Fantastic!

Jennifer & David 9/21/2013 – Grand Banquet Hall in Stillwater (DJ Rick A)

He was great. We trusted him to play to the crowd and use his professional expertise. He was dead on all night.

Jill & Nick 9/21/2013 – Bearpath Golf Club (DJ Justin R)

I really liked how personal everything was…it was so great to be able to have the call with Justin before the wedding to go through the online event planner and details so I was confident everything was set up the way I wanted it and then didn’t have to worry about it the day of the wedding. The online event planner was very useful, it reminded me of things I never would have thought of.

Serin & Steven 9/20/2013 – Carlson Rotunda (DJ Steve F)

DJ Steve was AWESOME!! He did everything I wanted and had the dance floor going the whole time. I would recommend both him and Instant Request to others.

Raquel & Dan 9/20/2013 – Mayowood Stone Barn in Rochester (DJ Zack V)

Very prompt customer service, the online event planner made things really simple, and it was priced right.

Alaina & John 9/14/2013 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ Rick A)

Rick did a fantastic job! He played our favorite bands but also new what songs to play to get the crowd (of all ages) on the dance floor!

Nicole & Tim 9/14/2013 – Hudson Golf Club (DJ Mike F)

The lighting especially made the mood and decorating extra special.

Ashley & Jafai 9/14/2013 – Solera Event Center in Mpls. (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was great. We chose Instant Request due to good reviews online and the service stoop up to our expectations from the reviews.

Jenna & Noah 9/13/2013 – Crow River Winery in Hutchinson (DJ Matt H)

Our DJ was great. He played off our list and took a few requests. He was very respectful, timely, and fun to work with.

Molly & Kyle 9/7/2013 – Stonebrooke Golf Club (DJ Zach V)

Zach! So friendly, accommodating and easy to work with!

Sasha & Ken 9/7/2013 – Mississippi Dunes Golf Club (DJ Rick A)

I loved the opportunity to set up our DJ song playlist online through instant request, we had a lot of input on our dance songs, ceremony songs etc. You get matched with a DJ according to song selections, personality etc. We were paired with Rick, he was great, would recommend them, price was very reasonable as well.

Tiffany & Kevin 9/7/2013 – O’Gara’s at the State Fairgrounds (DJ Anthony D)

Anthony was AWESOME.  Perfect fit for us and he rocked it all night. Very professional.  Great people.  Anthony is a gem.

Brittany & Bobby 9/7/2013 – Regan Hall (DJ Alex K)

It was perfect, the DJ was outstanding!

Katie & Eric 9/7/2013 – Henderson Event Center (DJ Tom E)

We absolutely loved our DJ he was awesome, he kept the crowd going and he kept playing music and played everything that we loved.  It was perfect!!

Kaity & Antonio 9/6/2013 – Emerson Pavilion (DJ Justin R)

I am thrilled to give you guys nothing but stellar marks for your work on our wedding 9/6/13!! It really put my mind at ease that if I ever had a question Matt and Justin were very prompt in their emails with answers. Probably my top favorite thing about working with Instant request! Yes, very much so! Justin was great in being flexible to the needs for our event and he kept our crowd dancing until it was closing time. 🙂 The accessibility and friendliness of your staff was just “out of the ballpark” great! Absolutely!! 100%.

Molly & Cameron 9/1/2013 – Calhoun Beach Club (DJ Nate A)

80 songs was a lot.  We struggled with that.  We expected the DJ to be the expert on what to play and now and NATE did that.  Our dance floor was packed all night! Nate was amazing!  He did a great job and people are still talking about our dance.  We had actually planned on more people going home before the end so the only issue he created was that too many people were left!  Which is not a problem at all!

Katie & Brendon 9/1/2013 – Bunker Hills Golf Club, Harvest Grill (DJ Ryan L)

Instant Request is a rare find in the wedding industry as its value is exceeded by its cost.  We couldn’t have been happier with their service. We only asked that he get people to dance and he sure did. He had the dance floor packed from the first song until the last!!!

Stephanie & Tony 9/1/2013 – Riley-Jacques barn (DJ Justin R)

This software tool was amazing.  It allowed us to plan out our night and gave us the assurance that we would have a good flow. Justin did an excellent job!  I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a great event.  He went above and beyond in every way and took tons of stress off of us.  He made sure the event went smoothly and that everyone had a good time.  He was a very good fit for our style. I really appreciated the fact that going into the big day I already felt comfortable with how things were going to happen.  I had peace of mind throughout the night knowing that with Justin we were in good hands.

Beth & Brandon 9/1/2013 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (DJ Charlie T)

The DJ was very nice and did a great job playing our requests and taking our requests. I’d say he was a good fit to our style. The office staff was great! They were very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Lindsey & Scott 8/31/2013 – Four Seasons Dance Studio in Minneapolis (DJ Sam E)

Sam Eaton totally killed it at our wedding. We highly recommend him to DJ at anyone’s wedding, including our friends’, hands down. He had the right level of enthusiasm, drive and leadership to really keep people moving. For weeks after our wedding, everyone has commented on how much fun the dancing was. Sam knew when to be reserved, and when to be frontal. He was a joy to work with and a pleasure to have as our wedding DJ. The lighting was incredibly well done and made our venue feel like a legit dance club! It had just the right vibe and presentation. We would’ve had it no other way. You guys are the best and really made it a no-sweat day for us. I don’t know anyone else that could do it as well as you guys can. We’ll definitely be recommending your services to our friends and family members who are next up to the altar!  I’ve DJed professionally in the past and know how the business works. You guys really provide everything we needed, and it didn’t bust our budget. Anyone that argues needs to realize that quality counts, and every dollar spent is worth it! There’s so many reasons why you’re the best in the Twin Cities!!

Katherine & Brett 8/31/2013 – St. James Hotel in Red Wing (DJ Andrew N)

I knew I could rely on Instant Request because of your outstanding reputation. I also liked the online event planner, it made it very easy to find and select the music we wanted. (The DJ) was a perfect fit for our style. He provided exactly what we asked for in advance but was flexible when we asked for something else during the dance. He exceeded our expectations!

Lisa & Andy 8/31/2013 – Holiday Inn and Suites in Lakeville (DJ Ryan L)

We had Ryan L, and he was fantastic!  Ryan was exactly the style and personality we were hoping for!  We could not have asked for a better DJ. We received many compliments on his song selection. A couple of times people started to leave the dance floor and Ryan changed the song immediately, and those same people turned around to come back and dance!  That is impressive.  Ryan was handled all of our requests perfectly, from the grand march, to the first dance, all the way to the end, he was a perfect DJ for us!  Absolutely no complaints, we would highly recommend him – and Instant Request to anyone!!

Jennifer & Kevin 8/31/2013 – Golden Valley Golf Club (DJ Andy M)

The online event planner was very helpful; it definitely made us think of everything. I know we would have missed things otherwise. (The DJ) exceeded our expectations. He was exactly the right level of interaction with us and the crowd, he fit our style perfectly.

Leslie & Erik 8/30/2013 – Riley-Jacques Barn (DJ Alex K)

Alex did a fantastic job!  He fit in perfectly and honored completely what Leslie and Erik wanted for their wedding. The sound was just right for each portion of the evening, from happy hour to the ceremony, during dinner, then dancing!

Sara & Allen 8/24/2013 – Christos Union Depot Place (DJ Travis M)

Oh my goodness Travis was amazing! He was so great to work with. Totally fit our style and the level of energy we wanted (which was a lot!). We appreciated when one of our family members asked for a polka before the dance floor was open, he approached us quietly and asked for permission to accommodate this guest’s request. AWESOME! Plus he killed our grand entrance! Allen and I had goose bumps the whole time. 🙂 Travis showed up dressed to the nines and he fit in perfect as though he planned it! The one thing we requested of our DJ was to keep the dance floor packed…and Travis delivered! We’ve had so many compliments on the music and energy and we’ve already given out your company and Travis’ name out to many people! We couldn’t say enough good things about you guys!

Caroline & Roth 8/24/2013 – Gale Mansion (DJ Randy G)

Randy was fantastic! Gauged the dance floor and changed songs appropriately – even played some great songs outside of the custom list which were a hit. He delivered on all our tasks, and was very accommodating during our initial call – had very thoughtful suggestions.

Mindy & Thomas 8/24/2013 – Villa Bellezza in Pepin, WI (DJ Brandon H)

It was everything we hoped for!

Christen & Ryan 8/23/2013 – Christos Union Depot (DJ Zach V)

Thank you so much! Zachary Vinge did a phenomenal job at our wedding! We couldn’t be happier with the lighting and the music at our reception!!!

Adrienne & Eric 8/17/2013 – Crowne Plaza Northstar Minneapolis (DJ Chris B)

Instant request was amazing! They give you so many options, that you can review online so you have plenty of time to decide and think it over. During the wedding our DJ was very chill, which was exactly what we wanted. He did a great job of mixing in typical wedding songs, our preselected songs, and requests from our guests. Highly recommended.

Rebecca & Todd 8/17/2013 – St. Paul Hotel (DJ Sean B)

The DJ was great and did a good job. I asked to switch from country back to rock and he did it immediately after the song was finished. I enjoyed the country for a bit, but the dance floor was requesting the change so they could get crazy again.

Jennifer & David 8/17/2013 – Afton Alps Chalet (DJ Jason Z)

Everything was great!

Kristina & Kraig 8/17/2013 – Lafayette Club (DJ Nate A)

Thanks!  Nate-Dog was the best!!

Kim & Ryan 8/17/2013 – Bearpath Golf club (DJ Justin R)

Justin did an AWESOME job.  We had so many people comment on how fun he was.  His interaction with the crowd was very energetic and positive, without being over the top.  The music mix he played was perfect.  Our dance floor was packed the whole night. He made it such a fun, enjoyable, and memorable night for us. We were very impressed and happy with our DJ and how he ran the entire night. He was so organized and flexible. We liked how he came and introduced himself to the bridal party, got us all prepared and knowing what we were doing for the grand entrance.  Also, when we forgot to bring pieces of paper with all the couples names for the ‘clanking of glasses’ part, he was very easy going and just said we could have the mic and call out people.

Julie & Kyle 8/17/2013 – Aria at the Jeune Lune (DJ Charlie T)

I loved how accommodating you all are, you do an exceptional job with customer service and going above & beyond. Charlie was awesome, he made our dance floor so much fun!

Emily & Zach 8/17/2013 – Kozlak’s Royal Oak Restaurant (DJ Laura K)

I loved how nice and accommodating everyone was. Unlike some other companies, I really felt that everyone I talked to wanted to help us get exactly what we wanted for our day, which was very refreshing.

Laura & Ben 8/17/2013 – U of M Arboretum in Chaska (DJ Anthony D)

The staff was very friendly and efficient on returning calls and emails. Our DJ, Anthony, even met with us at the location near our house and was very gracious to us when we met up a bit later than intended because we were on opposite sides of the café. He was very professional, personable, and considerate. The (online event planner) was great! It was very helpful in deciding what songs/music style to use during different parts of the event. I was so relieved that I didn’t have to come up with a million songs myself! Anthony Dubose rocks! He is the best DJ ever! If I ever have another event that should need a DJ we are requesting him again. We met Anthony at the Arboretum wedding fair and before him, we weren’t even considering a DJ.He was so personable and showed us how great our wedding could be that we knew we had to request him personally. The (sound and lighting system) was beautiful and fun. My friends and family had a blast dancing on the dance floor- and they aren’t even dancing types! The dance portion of the evening was the best.

Christina & Brent 8/16/2013 – Bearpath Golf Club (DJ Justin R)

The staff was friendly, especially our DJ Justin. He was very good and he got the crowd into the dancing.  His experience worked out very well to determine which type of song to pick next in order to get a lot of crowd participation.

Erin & Mitch 8/16/2013 – Brackett’s Crossing Country Club (DJ Andrew N)

Pleased with everything! Couldn’t have asked for more!

Cassandra & Andy 8/10/2013 – Minneapolis Club, 729 2nd Ave S (DJ Sean B)

It was easy to use the planner and our DJ was very friendly and great at playing music that the crowd wanted to hear.

Kristen & Kyle 8/10/2013 – Elm Creek Chalet (DJ Jason M)

We will never forget the amazing job you did!!! The online event planner software made planning the music for the night extremely easy, and fun!! Our DJ did an amazing job. We could not have imagined a better DJ. Easy to plan all the services for the day, this made it so there was no confusion on the big day!! Instant Request made everything from booking to playing music for our wedding a breeze. It was nice to pick what songs we want and what songs or type of music we do not want at our wedding. We cannot thank Instant Request and our DJ Jason enough.

Stephanie & Jereme 8/10/2013 – Marquette Place Apartments (DJ Nate A)

The pricing was a good value, especially since we had DJ Nate.  He was absolutely awesome to work with and helped make our wedding such a memorable event.  Also, it was nice that the price included the “full night” so that we did not have to stress about the exact ending time. DJ Nate exceeded our expectations.  He followed the planner but also made adjustments as needed.  He never “took over” but made sure that everything he did aligned with what we wanted.  He was a perfect fit for our style – casual and kept the dance floor crowded.

Cathleen & Mike 8/10/2013 – Depot Minneapolis (DJ Justin R)

Mike and I were so happy with Instant Request for our wedding. Thank you so much! Justin did such a great job for us on our wedding. Here are the questions you sent me that I answered. Have a good day! YES!!! Justin and his partner that helped out did such a fabulous job on our wedding day!! He was such a great fit also for our wedding. They both were very professional too!  Yes! We loved every bit of it. We especially loved how you could get our last name on the dance floor. Everyone we talked to was very friendly and professional. We were very happy!!!  Absolutely Yes! We were both so happy with Instant Request. They did such an amazing job on our wedding. Everyone we talked too, thought the music was great. We had so much fun!! Thank you!

Amanda & Jake 8/10/2013 – Gillespie Center (DJ Chad V)

I would sincerely like to thank your company and especially Chad. He kept following up with me throughout the night and whatever anybody asked for a request or anything he would play, he was the best! Thank you so much I am very happy that we decided to go with Instant Request as our DJ service.

Melanie & Eli 8/3/2013 – Marriott Hotel in Rochester (DJ Justin R)

The DJ was fantastic!!

Katy & Beau 6/29/2013 – Silverwood Visitor Center (DJ Kailen N)

Kailen Nelson did a fabulous job.  Our schedule was thrown off and he made accommodations as necessary.  The dance floor was packed all night!  We had so much fun! We were able to have a lot of input.  We wanted a night that reflected us- our eclectic mix of music- and very limited DJ interaction.  Kailen did a great job setting us up for a great night.  He mixed our playlist well, helped coordinate getting our speakers the microphone, and did a nice job reading the crowd and speaking only when necessary. We would definitely recommend Instant Request to others!

Jen & Joe 6/22/2013 – Maple Leaf Event Center Chanhassen (DJ John A.)

I liked that the price included unlimited hours of coverage. Most of the DJ services were based on a limited number of hours. I was able to enter all my info and requests which helped the DJ know what I was looking for prior to us meeting. John was great and did a fabulous job, He was outgoing and friendly which was what I was looking for.

Lindsay & Steve 6/7/2013 Little Log House Village Hall (DJ Chris B)

I had instant request as the DJ service for my wedding. The price was very affordable. I liked the option to pick and choose specific songs through their online software. Our DJ was very responsive to my requests on the type of music played, he was very patient and was great at keeping me updated on the time and what was happening next.

Molly & Dan 6/8/2013 – Christos Union Depot (DJ Kailen N)

It was worth every penny. I would recommend Kailen for any wedding. He was an amazing DJ and we were extremely impressed. When he initially was laid back that had us a little worried, but he delivered way beyond our expectations and we had people on the dance floor the entire night. I have never been to a wedding where that was the case and he was a big reason that happened. The comments from our guests during and afterward reinforced our feelings about how fun it was and how great he did.

I thought that I had everything organized for the wedding but since I am a little technology challenged I was not quite sure what to prepare for the DJ. Justin, our DJ, came prepared and knew exactly what the musicians needed and took away all of the stress. The wedding was also running off schedule and because of that the DJ had to change up the night – he was able to go with the flow easily and still fulfill all of the elements of the dance we asked for. Justin was fantastic and Instant Request was very professional!

Instant Request did an excellent job at our wedding. Justin was able to keep the dance floor packed all night. We received so many compliments, and everyone had a blast. Thank you!

Instant Request and our DJ Kailen did a fabulous job at our wedding. We wanted little interaction with our DJ and we did. He was able to keep the vibe we wanted all night and accommodate music based on the guests reaction. All our guests had a blast on the dance floor all night long! They even helped us our with our ceremony sound just 2 weeks before the wedding!

We had Travis Monroe as our DJ. He did a wonderful job! We were very happy with our music experience. He had people dancing the entire night! We highly recommend Instant Request. They made it very easy to pick our songs and worked with us for what we wanted. The online planner is very helpful and worked out well.

No problems with the service we received prior to or day of from Instant Request. My only complaint was that they made it difficult for me to leave the dance floor!!

We couldn’t be more happy with our decision to hire Instant Request as our DJ for our wedding reception. The online event planner is so convenient and all their staff could not have more polite. Our DJ, Eric was awesome! He played great music that made all our guests dance. I would recommend him and Instant Request again and again.

We work abroad, so we had to plan many aspects of our reception online. Their online planner was incredibly helpful. Once we finished that, they assigned us a really great DJ, Rick Ausland. He liked many of the same songs we did, and was very accommodating with our guest requests. I have to say that the fact that they do not ask for tips was awesome. I find it SO tacky when vendors show up with a “tip hat”… yuck! But we didn’t have to worry about that, as we were able to tip our DJ privately after the party.

Instant Request was not only great to work with, they gave us an excellent DJ that made our reception SO much fun! Our DJ was super helpful and willing to sit down with us and talk things through. We also used them for lighting and it made the venue so much more lively and beautiful to have all that extra color! We were so happy with the service!

Instant Request is amazing! I have seen them at many other weddings and immediately knew I wanted them at my own. Tom, my DJ, was great at reading the crowd and feeling out what they liked best. He was great with my 4 year old girl too! He got on the dance floor and danced with us, sang along, and had lots of creative ideas! I would never pick anyone else! Very reasonable prices too!

We used Instant Request and had Anthony D as our DJ, He was AMAZING! He played just what our guests wanted to hear and kept them on the dance floor! We got more than our moneys worth. Since our wedding, our guests haven’t stopped talking about Anthony and how great of a job he did!

Lindsey & Steven 6/1/2012

Holy Cow! Instant Request matches you with a DJ that they think would work well with your reception and style. I don’t think they could have matched us with a better DJ. He was about our age and new what all the “new, trendy and popular” stuff was while still staying close to our playlist. The DJ helped guests interact and get their dancing shoes a blazin’ on the dance floor with out being obnoxious.

We interviewed several DJ services prior to picking Instant Request. After our first meeting we knew this was the company that would provide the most professional service. Their non-aggressive yet confident approach to selling the business was a welcome surprise compared to the competition. Their prices were fair and we added the lighting package. The online service was a breeze. We talked to our DJ about 2 weeks prior to our wedding day and walked through the details. The entire night kept us on track. When the dance floor was starting to slow down, he changed the music and got everyone back on the floor. It was an excellent experience and the up lighting added a a beautiful ambiance. We would definitely recommend instant request.
