Grinnell High School Dance

On January 30, 2010 we returned to Grinnell High School for our third straight performance. The students there are phenomenal...full of energy, so a big thanks to everyone at Grinnell! I truly believe we have the best DJ / MC duo in the state of Iowa that specializes in high-energy high school entertainment. Big up to Bill and Wade for their work on this event.

We also received a nice email from our contact at Grinnell High School today regarding this event...
"The guys (Bill and Wade) did a great job this weekend! We look forward to continuing business with your company and we thank you SO much for the professional and entertaining time you show our students. Many, many, thanks!" - Danielle McDonough, Grinnell-Newburg High School.

Looking forward to the Black Eyed Peas Concert in Des Moines

Black Eyed Peas, one of the most played artists at weddings these days, is coming to Des Moines in March, and I won two free tickets to the concert today on the radio. I am definitely looking forward to hearing some of the "classics" that I play at nearly every wedding I DJ in Des Moines. Now the question is who am I going to take with me......my wife would be the early frontrunner, but don't sleep on my "boss" Jeff aka DJ Kor. If anyone of you will be there too let me know!

Time to relax

First off, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Wedding season is officially over as I have about six weeks off, one show on New Year's Eve, and then another couple of months off before the spring gets things going again. The time off gives me some time to spend with my wife, catch up on some college football and basketball, and work hard to book events for next year. The "booking season" has gotten off to a great start and I love explaining to brides what makes Iowa DJ different from the competition. Its a lot of fun meeting with future brides and getting to talk about our company.

We will be doing our thing at a few bridal shows come January so keep an eye out for us!

Downtown Marriott Wedding Reception

This past August we had the pleasure to DJ for Nicholas and Joyce Richards. Bill Burkett and Nathan Early tag teamed this event as the DJs and kept the dance floor packed! We couldn't have asked for better clients, a better crowd, or a better venue. The staff at the Downtown Des Moines Marriott truly make our jobs as DJs so much easier. Congratulations once again Nick and Joyce! We wish you both a blessed marriage!

Wedding DJ and Drummer

This video was taken from a black tie wedding reception at the Wakonda Country Club in Des Moines, IA. We brought in a DJ / Drummer duo for this event and the live percussion definitely spiced up the event! If you're interested in having a drummer compliment the DJ at your next event, just ask!

Classy / Exciting / Unique

Please take some time to view a few photos of our architectural lighting, which transforms your venue into a truly remarkable atmosphere. Each of our LED lighting fixtures will be programmed to match your wedding colors and have the ability to change colors throughout the evening. Our clients have the option of using only a few lights to accent the head table, or opting to use up to twenty lights to accent each wall of the venue. Regardless of what route you choose to take, we guarantee that our unique approach to lighting will truly create that "wow" factor when your guests enter the room!

Creating a lasting video out of your fondest memmories

Each year, dozens of clients ask for our assistance in developing a unique and memorable slideshow. Their reasoning is always different and ranges from not having enough time or lacking the needed resources to truly create a professional piece of work. Regardless of the reasoning, we are always happy to assist clients in the creation of a slideshow...even the monotonous job of scanning in hundreds of photos! All of our clients will receive their custom designed slideshow on a DVD following their event, allowing them to cherish the memories forever :)

Tournament Club of Iowa Recommendation

This month, we were privileged to have been able to DJ at the Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City for the first time in history. It was an extremely beautiful and high-end facility that had outstanding professional staff members. We are also honored to have been added to their preferred vendors list after only our first performance there! We're excited to continue to develop a strong relationship with the Tournament Club of Iowa in the future! Below is an email that we received from the event coordinator from the Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City.

"Jesse, Thank you for the kind email. I enjoyed working with you as well and truly appreciated your professionalism. It is always comforting when everyone gives their best for the guests. It just makes for a great event and really doesn't take much more effort. I appreciate your email as it is very important to me to offer the best customer service possible and is nice when it is noticed. We would be honored to build a relationship with you. We will add you to the vendor list that we have and be sure to highly recommend your services. Thank you again for the email and have a wonderful day!"
