DJ Alex was awesome! He was so good at reading the crowd and the dance floor! The music throughout it the whole day was just perfect, different styles and variety were used which was great for our crowd! We loved how he helped out with timeline things too such as getting people lined up for the ceremony and grand march and telling the people doing speeches when they would be speaking, being that I didn’t have a coordinator, this was such a huge help! Awesome experience with Instant Request!! Highly recommend for you special day!!

We had DJ OBI for our wedding, and it was a celebration worthy of closing out a difficult. 2020. When planning this wedding, we had a lot of uncertanity and ever changing plans. When I envisioned my wedding day, I knew I wanted to marry the man of my dreams, and have a celebration to remember. I was so happy that DJ Obi was the man to make it happen without any stress. Obi had people on the dance floor the entire night and was amazing overall. He added a personal twist with every song and was extremely personable. All of my guests loved him, and he was so engaged with the guests which was a great and made things so much more fun. I would 10000% recommend DJ Obi to anyone who is looking to have an amazing and memorable night. He was the BEST and we feel so luck to have worked with him.

Alex KILLED it! We had a blast and our guests kept commenting how awesome our DJ was! I felt like we didnt give Alex a ton to go off of during our planning meeting, but he absolutely delivered! He did an excellent job reading the crowd - he watched what my husband/I and our guests danced & sang to, then tailored more songs along those lines. He found a ton of awesome 90s/2000s throwback songs (were 90s kids) that we forgot about but were super excited to hear it and dance. He also did a great job filtering guests song requests which we appreciated. I asked Alex for quite a few favors - I sent him YouTube links for some of the ceremony music and an audio file for the traditional meal blessing. He worked his magic and played all our special requests without any issues. Alex was overall a smash hit with guests, very professional, fun, and just a great guy to work with. Thank you so much Alex!

We hired Instant Request for our wedding and they were great! They were affordable, responsive, and very friendly. The dance floor at our wedding was always full and our guests had so much fun! Matt Joyce was our DJ and he was great - he played a variety of music to please all the guests and we blew a fuse during the dance and he was able to solve the issue and promptly and we continued to have a blast! I struggled to choose my final music selections for the ceremony, but Matt was helpful in answering my questions about using the online event planner and everything went smoothly!

We had the extremely fortunate opportunity to work with DJ Kyle Egan. A consummate professional, he knows his stuff-can read a crowd with ease and made everyone feel comfortable and joyful. Winter weddings are tough, our dance floor was small but mighty and DJ Kyle had a lot to do with that. Thank you so much, Kyle and Instant Request. We knew we could count on you and we are happy to recommend you to anyone who will listen!

Instant Request was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! Everyone we had talked with at the company throughout the planning process was very responsive and helpful. We had DJ Obi for our wedding and we all had the best time! We only had about 50 people that stayed for dancing and he kept the floor moving all night! Obi was very focused on what we wanted as a couple for our music and was very personable and great to get along with. He played everything we asked him too and added in his own flare of mixing songs that was fantastic! If you need a DJ for any event we would highly recommend Instant Request, and highly recommend DJ Obi and his awesome talents!

We had DJ Alex for our wedding day! He was everything we were looking for in a DJ! He was outgoing, interactive and followed everything that we requested. It was very easy to work with Instant Request. The Event Planner is a nice layout of what to expect and gives your DJ an understanding of what you went for your day. We needed a few songs added into their system which was super easy. We had our phone call with DJ Alex a few weeks before the wedding and he was very professional and really listened to what we wanted. Our guests gave us so many compliments and were on the dance floor the whole night! Everyone was tired the next day from all the dancing! Thank you Instant Request and DJ Alex for making our day special and so so so much fun!!!

We had a great experience using Instant Request for our wedding. Zach B did a great job and kept our guests dancing throughout our entire wedding reception. Their online planner is very easy and super helpful to make sure you dont miss any special songs/dances and preferences. Communication with the company went great throughout the entire planning process and the pricing was very affordable! Thanks Instant Request for making our day perfect!

We had Brandon as our DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely great! He went above and beyond with everything. He was helpful with more than just his role as a DJ which I appreciated so much! He did everything we asked and planned to do and was so great to work with. He also was so helpful at arranging/organizing our sparkler send off when it was time, which was very nice of him and very helpful to us! The event planner is very handy and an organized way to make sure everything you want is planned out. Brandon was also able to play the songs we requested that weren’t in their system. Highly recommend!

Per my wife: Our DJ was DJ Brandon (aka DJ Caramel Sauce!) and we literally cannot thank him enough. He was AMAZING. We have a video of my dad surprise singing/playing the guitar for us and you can see Brandon in the background just beaming! He was so accommodating, made us feel SO comfortable and literally every single person at our wedding absolutely loved him! He read the crowd so well and played the BEST music. I never left the dance floor! He was so easy to get in touch with and had an open-door communication policy which EVERY bride needs. Thank you so much IR DJ for assigning us Brandon. Our day would not have been the same without him! THANK YOU, DJ CARAMEL SAUCE!!

Brandon was so easy to work with and very flexible! The online event planner tool was well-thought-out and helpful with customizing our day to our tastes. After the overall stress of wedding planning, it was a relief to not have to worry about the music/ambiance of our reception. I cannot recommend him enough!

Instant Request did an amazing job for our wedding! They were great at communicating the leading up to the day and we loved the online site to select music and provide details and preferences. We had Eric and he did a great job, was professional and outgoing. Our wedding was beautiful and perfect, and Eric was a great part of that helping everything go smoothly. We highly recommend him and Instant Request!

Instant Request was perfect for our wedding day! We just got married in the midst of the pandemic, and they did an awesome job being flexible with us so we could still celebrate. The Online Event Planner tool they have made it so easy to communicate our plan and figure out which songs we wanted. My Dad and I decided to do our first dance to a mashup of songs and Mitch was so helpful with pulling it together for us. He let me make minor tweaks until it was perfect!  I also reached out to Mitch the week of the wedding to ask for a hands-free mic for my Dads speech and thought it would be too last minute, but he made it happen for us! We had Kevin as our DJ for the day of and he was so great to work with. He only talked with me a few times beforehand but everything went exactly as planned, if not better! He helped act as MC, made some announcements for our guests about the shuttle schedule, and kept us on track throughout the night. He played great song choices - exactly the mix of what we were looking for - got everyone out on the dance floor and kept them there! He also did our ceremony music and it went flawlessly.  We couldnt be happier with our day!

Incredible service and value. Our DJ, Brandon, went above and beyond our expectations! We were communicated with extremely well and had an wonderful experience. We wanted to do a few unique things with wedding party introductions, last dance, etc., and all we heard from Instant Request is: We can do that! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Instant Request was wonderful to work with and really helped us to get our ceremony figured out with there online planning tool. Also John the DJ we worked with did an amazing job day of, helping us make sure that everything was set up and ready both at our ceremony and reception location. He also managed to get our whole wedding party dancing which I was not expecting! Overall it was a great experience and an awesome night!

We did the Black Tie service and chose Brandon Holland aka DJ Carmel Sauce and he was amazing! Brandon was so great in our planning meeting and listened to everything we said and stuck to it! He also read the audience well, if he played a song he could tell people werent feeling, instead of waiting it out, he would change it right away. We also had a full dance floor all night thanks to Brandon, highly recommend him!

Wow, where do I begin?!? I attended a wedding a couple summers ago where Obi was the DJ. He was amazing and I thought to myself, when I get married I will have Obi there for our DJ. And I was able to do just that and I am so glad that we did. Obi was amazing. He was one of a kind and truly wonderful to work with. He was so attentive and professional. Obi took the time to go through everything so that the day was absolutely perfect. He knows how to get the crowd on the dance floor and engage your guests. His humble soul, his professionalism, and amazing talent are highly recommended to whoever is on the lookout for a DJ for their own wedding. Choosing Obi as our DJ was the best decision and I hope that you get to have the chance to work with him too!

Being a “2020 COVID Bride” has been an emotional rollercoaster to say the least but knowing we chose Instant Request for our DJ/Lighting services put me at ease! Kai was our selected DJ and it was such a great fit. Kai had great communication, was prompt, made a wide variety of music selections for all guests to enjoy, and rolled with the punches when unexpected changes happened due to new MN COVID mandates. Also, the uplighting provided by Instant Request really helped pull our event space together and created a perfect glow to the room. I can’t recommend their services enough!!

We had a great experience with Jimmy from Instant Request! He did such a fantastic job at combining our personal music preferences with songs that got our guests out on the dance floor. While planning a wedding during the COVID pandemic was not always the easiest, Instant Request made the process simple with the online planning tool and the virtual meeting with Jimmy ahead of our wedding. Thank you for being part of our special day!

The website is set up very well. They have almost any song you could want, and if they dont, they can add it. Alex was our DJ and was amazing. He was very easy to work with, was very detailed, and was on schedule for everything we wanted. He made the experience very fun, and I would highly recommend working with this company for any events.

We had DJ Obi as our DJ for our wedding which had roughly 60 guests, and we were blown away. Our wedding was initially scheduled for April, and due to COVID, we had to re-plan everything to October. I have to give a shoutout to Matt and Mitch for making the process so smooth, but it was DJ Obi that really transcended our experience with Instant Request.Obi reached out to us prior to our date, and walked us through every detail we could ever imagine. From first dance songs, to how we wanted to handle the clinking of glasses he guided us to a perfect day. His mixing skills were next level, and his ability to read a room that had 75% 25-30 year old kids and 25% adults 55+, and make it fun for all parties was spectacular. Everything went off without a hitch, and Obi was a major reason why.Obi also sang a heartfelt congratulations song for us as the dance was winding down and my wife and I were very touched. It was amazing, not only because his voice was divine, but because I think it symbolized a level of comfort that we shared with how the night played out. I couldnt recommend DJ Obi any stronger, and I hope that he continues to impact couples weddings like he did ours.Cheers

My now husband and I hired instant request for our wedding on 09.25.2020. I came across the company from attending a wedding fair last year.Right away I was impressed with their customer service. I did some shopping around to see what else was out there and realized instant request was hands down going to be the DJ company we went with.I was impressed with their online system that allowed you to input all your song requests. It was so detailed, from asking what song genre you want playing during your cocktail hour to the exact specifics for first dances.We did not use the option to request a DJ but let me tel you... we were super impressed with who got assigned to us.Shoutout to Alex Knight for being a rockstar. Not only was he professional but super friendly and engaging. He kept the crowd dancing and went out the his way to make sure we had everything in order for our big day.My husband and I didn’t get to dance much due to having a Friday evening wedding but we were both very happy that the crowd loved Alex as much as we did.I would recommend both Alex and Instant Request again.Thank you!

We absolutely LOVED our DJ Matt Flaherty-Joyce from Instant Request DJ Entertainment. He was so easy to work with and made our entire wedding night go smoothly. Our guests were on the dance floor the whole night and a good time was had by all. We also enjoyed the online playlist system where we could add songs we wanted played and organize the event virtually. Would definitely recommend!

Our DJ was fantastic (sorry I’m totally blanking on her name!) - she played nice ambient music while folks were visiting. we didn’t have the dance party we’d originally planned pre-COVID but towards the end of the night, we danced, socially distant, anyway. She came up with some fun music on-the-spot, which was perfect. Would definitely hire their DJ again!!

Booked instant request and Obi came though and did a wonderful job at our wedding reception. Our original dj had to back out due to a personal injury and Obi stepped in and saved the day. He was kind enough to take a phone call from me at 10 pm the day before our wedding to go over details and schedule. Obi was so kind and professional at every interaction. Most important of all he made our reception a blast! He did such a great job of reading the room/bridal party and kept the dancing and party going. He brings a great energy to your reception and you will not regret working with him.

Instant Request was amazing at our wedding!!! They communicated with us through covid and were able to work with us if we needed to change our date. We had Rico as our dj. He showed up on time, did everything we asked of him and more! We had so many people come up to us saying that it was the most fun theyve had at a wedding ever, and a big part of that was because of the DJ! Highly recommend!

Our wedding was this past weekend on September 26th and I dont have words to describe how impressed me and my fiancé (now husband) were with DJ Obi! We actually went to a wedding Summer of 2019 where DJ Obi was the DJ and we told ourselves that night that we needed to book him for our special day as well.Communication was great! We spoke with him on the phone prior to the wedding and went through our entire online event planner from start to finish. He accommodated everything we asked and more. He showed up dressed to the nines and made our ceremony and reception go so smoothly. We also loved how he interacted with the crowd and how outgoing he was because our guests loved that!I would recommend DJ Obi to anyone and all our friends that are getting married in the future!

Bret Christiansen with Instant Request did an unbelievable job! He accommodated to our every need, including last minute changes.

As a wedding videographer, Ive had the pleasure in working 2 weddings with Obi. This man throws a heck of a party. His ability to get the guests involved on the dance floor is unmatched. Obi obviously knows how to read a room and play the right songs to get the party going! Hire this man!!

*warning - long review ahead*We used Instant Request for our 9/5/20 wedding reception and had a unique experience due to COVID. We went the black-tie route, which was great at the time, and picked our DJ super early, but of course - as we all know, 2020 has been a crazy year. Our original date was 6/6/20 so we had been set up with a DJ for that day, but due to COVID we ended up postponing our reception to 9/5/20. Unfortunately, our original DJ wasn’t available on our new date, so we had to choose a new one DJ. As luck (or lack thereof) would have it our second DJ became unavailable 5 days before our wedding (due to no fault of his own), and we got reassigned a (third) new DJ – 5 days before a wedding I had already planned and re-planned in addition to all the other changes that arose with a COVID wedding. BUT Instant Request was great and quick to let us know of the situation. I will sing the praises of Matt with Instant Request as he was quick to communicate this news to us and able to provide alternative DJs in order to help us find a replacement on such short notice. We were refunded the black-tie cost to accommodate the fact that we didn’t really have a black-tie experience at the end of the day due to things getting switched around so last minute. Again, I was highly impressed with Matt and the way the situation was handled – so kudos to Instant Request!Our third (and final DJ) assignment was Obi O. Obi has an amazing personality is SO fun and upbeat - he is exactly the type of person I would expect a DJ to be! There were a few hiccups with communication, and we didn’t end up connecting until the night before our reception (which was stressful – can’t lie about that), but Obi was very apologetic the next day and assured me our event would be perfect and it was! On reception day we were very impressed with Obi’s appearance (he dressed to impress), music selection and ability to keep people on the dance floor all night long. He is an excellent DJ and went along with all of my unique ideas for making our reception one to remember. He had seamless transitions and is very talented when it comes to music. He even ended our reception by serenading us with a personalized song to close out the night. He sounded SO good that all of us thought it was a recording until he sang our names and we realized it was him singing! Overall, I’d recommend Obi and I am sure that if more time was involved, we wouldn’t have had issues with communication at all, it just happened to be a quick turnaround time due to the last-minute switch. SO - book Obi if you want to have sore feet the day after your wedding and six chins in all of your reception photos from singing/laughing and dancing the night away!

We used instant request DJ for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with the service they provided! We met with our DJ, Justin, about a month before the big day. Getting to know him and vice versa truly helped him understand what we were looking for. He knew how to read the crowd and play the right songs at the right time, keeping the dance floor packed all night! I highly recommend Instant Request, you will not be disappointed!

Instant Request (specifically Alex Knight) did an INCREDIBLE job! We were a bit nervous at first since their website is a bit older and they dont assign a DJ until ~1 month before. But wow, we were blown away by our DJ both during the ceremony and the reception. Alex did an incredible job coordinating with the wedding party and the officiant and keeping the evening on track. I especially appreciated that he went out of his way to make sure the folks giving speeches or walking in knew what they were doing. He followed our music taste and guests song requests perfectly. We also had silent disco for our wedding, and he (along with the venue) made this such a seamless transition! Couldnt have asked for a better DJ. The dance floor was packed the entire night! Thanks so much!

Charlie D worked with us for our wedding earlier this month. Charlie is super fun and laid back, reads the room like no other, and made us feel instantly at ease because we trusted him immediately. We cannot recommend Charlie D enough! He is a great guy and wonderful to work with. Our dance floor was packed all night long. From the first night we met and had a beer with him, to the last song of our wedding night - great experience all around. Definitely recommend Instant Request.

Instant Request and our DJ Randy were outstanding. The experience my Bride and I had was phenomenal, from meeting at the Instant Request headquarters to the last song at our reception. We were shown how to navigate their website and we were able to select songs we wanted played and not played. We selected a handful of songs and DJ Randy took control of our reception and kept our guests on the dance floor until the very end of the night. We also used up lighting and that looked amazing along with our decorations and the up lighting was very reasonably priced. The night was perfect and DJ Randy and Instant Request only made it better. My Bride and I could not be more pleased and would recommend Instant Request DJ Entertainment in a heartbeat.Thank YouTim and Lori W.

Our DJ Allie P. was AH-mazing! She came super early to set up and talk with the coordinator at our venue. Because we didnt have a wedding planner on site, she offered for all questions and concerns to be brought to her, and she would do her best to assist. She not only played great music but MCd our dinner, speeches, and helped us to do a fun Q&A. She met with my husband and I a few weeks before the wedding to go over the schedule, talk about music, and get to know each other. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and we got kicked out from the venue at midnight. I could honestly not recommend someone more highly!

We were blown away by our DJ! Alex was great, he was flexible with our schedule and made sure that the songs we wanted were ready for the wedding! We chose a number of songs for him to go off of and he did a great job building off that and playing exactly what we wanted! Our venue also had a silent disco and Alex was willing to DJ that portion of the night as well. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Instant Request to anyone!

We were so lucky to have Alex Knight as our Wedding DJ!! We reserved through Instant Request DJ and based on our information were paired with Alex. I was able to grab coffee with him prior to the wedding to chat about the music for the day and instantly knew that it was the perfect match! Alex picked up exactly on the type of music that my husband and I wanted to be played throughout our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception.I love music and can sing along to almost any song but when I am asked what the song name/artist/genre is I am hopeless. Thankfully, Alex was quickly able to decipher what I was trying to convey and the outcome was amazing!Music sets the tone for any event and Alex was able to understand perfectly what we were looking for in each part of the day. We have received SO many compliments from our family and friends (even other vendors!) on how perfect the music and Alex was! Nobody wanted to leave the dance floor at the end of the night and that was 100% Alex!

We purchased the Black Tie package for our wedding a few weeks ago, and ended up choosing Alex K. since we had seen him at a previous wedding. Alex was super accommodating during our planning meeting, and made sure that everything we talked about was carried out during our ceremony and reception.

Bridget was our DJ for our big day and we couldnt 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 Im 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 thats 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 theyve 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.

We had an amazing experience with Instant Request at our wedding. I absolutely loved the detailed event planner that we were asked to fill out prior to being assigned a dj. It really helped me consider every part of the evening and exactly how I wanted the timeline to layout. A few weeks prior to our event Rick A was assigned to be our dj. Within a few days we had a great phone conversation where he gave me a few suggestions on details that I hadn’t quite figured out yet. He made me very confident with his experience and professionalism. And on wedding night we were not disappointed! Rick not only kept my guests dancing, but also provided excellent customer service. Thank you Rick and Instant Request for being part of the best day of our lives!!

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 and it kind of stopped the party in its tracks but after we were able to get her the help she needed he 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.

Instant Request was fabulous. Dario was our DJ for our wedding reception and he did a great job reading the crowd, playing music that got people dancing (even people that I was surprised to see dancing) & kept the dance floor active. He was always professional and made everything so easy for us. The Event Planner we filled out allowed us to express our exact wishes for the evening and everything turned out fantastic. Very reasonable price for high quality service- 5 stars all the way!

We got married 10/12/19, the weather was not ideal, and we actually lost power...a few times.We had DJ OBI, he was and is amazing. He was very laid back during the power outages and the chill from having our wedding in a large tent. He kept the dance floor full and catered to our requests through out the evening. The music was on point and the transitions between songs was a great touch. Myself, my husband and guests enjoyed having him on our day. Thanks again!!

My (very recent) wife and I chose the black tie option and chose DJ Alex Knight and holy sh*t was he amazing! He was better than we could ever of hoped for. He knew exactly what he was doing, made the entire night run super smooth and man does he know how to DJ! He had our very large dance floor packed all night long and was killing it with the music/song choices! Very friendly guy and to anyone looking to choose a DJ just choose Alex and trust us!

Tom Coughlin was our DJ for our wedding in January! I can’t say enough great things about him. You can tell Tom has been doing this for a long time as the night went as smooth as it could. The dance floor was full all night long and he had guests basically throwing money at him to play more songs as the end of the night! He played a perfect range of songs for everyone. If you are lucky enough to have Tom as your DJ you can expect the dance floor to be packed all night!

Instant Request absolutely exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Our wedding was on November 2nd, 2019 and we found IR through both our venues preferred vendor list and met them at a wedding fair. We also had so many people recommend IR to us, so we already knew we were in great hands. Having the right DJ and a full dance floor the entire night was something very important to us. We went with the black tie option and had Brandon Holland aka DJ Carmel Sauce as our DJ. I dont think there is enough we can say about Brandon from our first meet and greet to his fun professional personality and his ability to keep the energy going ALL NIGHT! HE IS AMAZING!!!! Our entire wedding party and guests absolutely loved him and it felt like he was truly a part of our day. He was so helpful to keep things going on time, I never had to think twice about the details, he checked in with us throughout the night and really made us feel like we could let loose and enjoy ourselves. We also gave him an idea of what we were looking for as far as music goes but ultimately had him really run the show, I mean he is the professional, not us :) You will not be disappointed with IR and you will most definitely not be disappointed with Brandon!!! Thank you so much!!!

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!

We did the black tie and requested DJ Jimmy. He did an absolutely AMAZING job at our wedding. We were so appreciative of his input and quick communication. He picked great music and had everyone dancing, we had many of our guest come up to us and tell us how much fun they were having with the music and dancing. We would highly recommend DJ Jimmy and Instant Request.

DJ Allie was an incredible addition to our wedding. From our surprise first dance, to the rap from our maid of honor, to our three song throwback to the 1950s, and everything in between--she was an absolute pleasure to have at our wedding. When we first decided on booking a DJ, I was worried about who they would be and whether or not they would match up with what we were hoping for our wedding to be. Allie was a sound technician, a wedding coordinator, and a disc jockey all in one. She was so incredibly professional and a joy to work with. I honestly cannot overstate how great it was to have her as a part of our big day. If Allie is working on your wedding, you are in excellent hands!

If we could only repeat one detail of our wedding it would be booking Instant Request specifically, Jimmy B. We knew right after meeting him that we were in good hands and he did not disappoint. He was able to read the room and switch the music to keep people on the dance floor all night. We highly recommend Instant request and Jimmy B.

David was amazing! We met him prior to our wedding and he quickly relieved a lot of the stress I had around planning our ceremony and reception timing. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night long and made sure everything including speeches ran smoothly. He was very friendly and listened to our wants/needs. Thank you so much for making our night special and fun!

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 couldnt have asked for a better DJ experience for our wedding! Thank you!!!

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!

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!

Justin was our DJ for our wedding at the recommendation of our wedding planner & we were not disappointed! Justin had a telephone conference with us to ensure he knew what we wanted our wedding day to be like. On the day of, he kept everyone on the dance floor for the entire night - everyone told us they had such a great time and loved the music. I would highly recommend Justin & Instant Request!

Its 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. Id recommend DJ Jimmy and Instant Request to everyone.

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 Ashley (another reason to hire a day of 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. We also did uplighting through Instant Request and it was easy, reasonably priced, and made our reception space so beautiful.

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!

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 days 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!

Jimmy was absolutely amazing from the start all the way to the end. Website for picking out songs made our lives so easy and changing songs later on wasn’t an issue. Would use for all my future marriages. (Hopefully not though)

We were assigned a DJ and a few weeks before our wedding we were notified 5 days before our wedding that our assigned DJ had a scheduling conflict and was unable to make it. We were then assigned a new DJ, and even though we were very frustrated with the company for canceling our original DJ we ended up being SO happy with the fill in we had. Charlie was AMAZING and made our day so special. He took note of every small request that was made and did a great job! Music was great and everyone loved him. Luckily I wasnt super particular with my DJ however I could see other couples getting very upset about the DJ canceling days prior to the wedding and you being assigned someone new. That would be my only negative thing I would have to say! Otherwise I would recommend to future friends and family!

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!

We had an awesome evening with Instant Request at our wedding. The day of the event, a different DJ showed up than our original assigned DJ, but he did a great job. They were quick to respond to emails and professional in planning. We definitely would recommend Instant Request to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding!

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!

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 if 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, wasand was professional throughout all interactions. Most importantly, he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Many thanks for such a memorable night!

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 DJ David!

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 thats why we went with Instant Request. They gave us peace of mind and an excellent party.

We used Instant Request for our wedding reception. Our DJ did everything we asked, the only thing I would recommend is to utilize the planning tool and make a list of must play songs. We wanted a mix of 90s and 2000s from our college years, and that is what we got, but there were songs I wish would have been played that I didnt think about until later. That is not the DJs fault, just something I would do differently if I could go back and change it. Also, I was very happy that when I asked for a song it was played next, I was the bride after all!

Ill start with this - Kyle did an AMAZING job DJing our reception. We have had multiple people tell us that our dance was the most fun wedding dance theyve ever been to. Id give Instant Request 4 stars during the reception. Reason: there was one point where the DJ ran off and the music just stopped. My husband and I were chatting with some of our guests when all of a sudden the music just completely stopped and Kyle came running back. Also - my husband and I left at 10:15PM. It was agreed upon that the DJ would play the last song at 10:45. We learned that right after we left, he started packing up... Also, there was a song that we wrote on the pre-form TWICE for him NOT to play. He played it...At the end of the day, we are married and that is whats most important. However, Id like to give an honest review as I know this could be a deal breaker for some. During the ceremony, right in the middle of the pastors message, Kyle accidentally played our recessional song - twice. We had 2 recordings and he played them in the wrong order.We were matched a week before the wedding with our DJ and they said that our DJ would reach out, but I had to reach out to the DJ to connect a few days before the wedding since we didnt hear anything. I spent a long time filling out the initial sheet, but it seems as though that was not even looked at.Again, at the end of the day we are married and that is what is 100% most important, but as others are evaluating their DJ, this was our experience with Kyle at Instant Request.

We had a great experience with Instant Request (Worked with Kevin specifically the day of the wedding). Their online platform for working on the playlists and songs to played at various points made the process really easy and straightforward. Pricing was reasonable from what we could tell comparing to other companies in the Twin Cities. Thanks!

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!

David Allison was our DJ for our wedding. He was excellent. We had a few consultation calls ahead of time and we felt heard and confident in him. He filled the dance floor and kept it full the entire time, nailed the ceremony, and was kind and professional throughout. Fantastic DJ and a great guy.

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 (07/13/19), 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!

Look no further for a DJ service - Instant Request with David James is AMAZING! He was wonderful to work with leading up to the big day and we had comments all night long about how Awesome our DJ was! He had our guests on the dance floor all night and even mashed a surprise father/daughter/family dance to start the evening. A+ service! Ask for David James to DJ your event! :)

DJ Jimmy is amazing. He had incredibly creative ideas and was very flexible to work with. He had our wedding vision in mind and kept people on the dance floor the entire night. I wouldn’t go with anyone else for any of our future events!

Instant Request was awesome to work with! 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 couldnt have asked for a better DJ experience!
