My husband and I used Shoots and Sounds for our wedding-- and the experience was great! From our…read moreinitial meeting to even after the wedding, Anthony and Gina have been nothing but wonderful! When we met them both, we immediately knew we wanted them to do our wedding. It was the combo deal that did us in. We were getting all the photos that I could possibly want plus the choice of fun and music for the wedding and reception. We loved all of the ideas and they definitely understood and loved all of ours. This was very important to us because we knew that Anthony would be controlling the flow of the entire night. Also important that Gina get the fun photos and quick and painless family photos that we wanted. We had multiple meetings and much communication back and forth til we were satisfied of what we wanted. Anthony and Gina really did most of the work with just a little guidance from us. Even in emails I received from prior to the wedding, they were just as excited for our wedding as we were- which I loved. I also loved that we could go online and select the music prior to the event at our leisure plus veto also music ahead of times. Gina ran the camera and got in the most important pictures that I was looking for. There's not much that I can say about the actual wedding day besides that it was absolutely amazing and perfect! Cant say enough how smooth everything went from family photos to the fun of the reception. The music, the lights, everything! I would recommend using Shoots and Sounds for any event! :)

I honestly don't know where to begin. We hired this DJ for a work convention expecting at least a…read morebasic level of professionalism and competence, we got neither. The music selection was baffling: outdated tracks, random genre shifts, and bizarre song choices that absolutely killed the vibe. At one point, he played a remix of Baby Shark during dinner. Unironically. Requests from the crowd were ignored or brushed off with sarcasm. The mic work? Cringe-worthy. Think awkward jokes, mumbling, and weird pauses. He even managed to botch a scheduled awards announcement, cutting off the speaker mid-sentence with an airhorn sound effect. Yes, an airhorn. Multiple people left early, and the rest of us stayed mainly out of obligation. The dance floor never got going, and the entire evening had this uncomfortable, secondhand-embarrassment energy thanks to this one person who was supposed to enhance the night. If you're considering hiring this DJ, don't. Save your money, your reputation, and your guests' ears.

Tyson was our DJ for our wedding and we can't say enough good things about him and his production!…read moreTyson has an incredible talent of making you feel like you've known him forever, in such a short time! We met with Tyson initially via zoom since we no longer live in the Des Moines area. He took the time to explain how important the right dj is for your wedding and answered all of our questions we had. He uses an app to help keep organized on which songs we wanted played when. His setup is so elegant and blended in beautifully with our venue. In the end everything went absolutely perfect. We 10/10 recommend Marquee Events!

His personality was wonderful along with his knowledge of music and ability to read the room during the reception. He played all our requests, he did not rush us/guests, and an awesome sound system for a great price. Overall, Ryan was awesome!

We hired ASE DJ to run sound for a birthday party that we were performing…read more Prior to the event I specified through email several times that the group would need 3 cordless microphones to perform. This was a big deal because each member sings and choreography is also involved in our show. He reassured me that he would have 3 cordless microphones along with the other necessary equipment for the show. He also provided a form for me to check off on the items needed and I certainly checked the 3 cordless mics along with the other items needed. When we arrived for our agreed soundcheck time, Tim was nowhere to be found until about 20 minutes later. He then hands me only 2 microphones! When I reminded him we needed another mic he looked surprised as if he forgot. He said he would go and get it BUT in the same breath asked about receiving payment! Sound check went ok with the 2 microphones we had but when the show started one of the microphones wasn't working and when I looked behind us to get Tim's attention, he was not at his post! In fact he was off chatting with someone at the party. In a panic I had to leave the stage area to get his attention about the microphone not working. He checks it and then argues that it was working when it clearly had no sound coming out of it! He then raised the volume on the dead mic but it still wasn't producing enough sound. So we had to keep swapping microphones during our performance. It was very stressful. As a sound person, your main job is to make sure the SOUND is up to par and that obviously wasn't Tim's concern. Overall his demeanor was cavalier and he didn't seem to care at all about what we needed from him. To top it off he was paid generously for the job he didn't do so well. I have never experienced such unprofessionalism from a sound person/DJ in all my life!

Communication was great. Tim, the owner, answered all of my questions (there was a lot, he actually complimented me on them) in the beginning, and was very professional. Their online portal is a little confusing and I would have preferred to get the forms and download them and fill them out that way, but I found out a little too late. Anyway, they did sound for both our ceremony and reception. Huge shout out and props to CODY, our DJ, who I would recommend to ANYONE and EVERYONE! I swear he was more than a DJ - it felt like he was our night of event coordinator and thank God because my ADHD brain was NOT going to get anything done in the moment (too happy? Too much wine...). Cody was really fantastic. I didn't know we needed a pre-party phone call because I'm pretty laid back, but it ended up being such a great choice! We got to know Cody (who you'll just want to be friends with after your wedding), but he also got some things cleared up and made sure he knew what songs to play when, how to say our weird family names, and what kind of vibe we were going for. Night of - I underestimated some of our guests. I thought it was going to be very low key, but thankfully Cody and a few of our more extroverted friends got people on the dance floor. Thanks Cody, for not making too much fun of us slow dancing the chicken dance to "Groovy Kind of Love." It's a New Girl reference. We're obnoxious super-fans.... Not the kind that has t-shirts and wall decor, but who just spends half the day speaking to one another in New Girl quotes. Anyway, I could go on and on, but in short - hire them for your wedding.

We want to get married AGAIN just to have Connor as our DJ a second time!…read more Connor was a blast!!! He showed up early, got set up and did sound checks without disrupting anything else going on at the venue. He was dressed so well!! Connor followed all of our preferences for music and vibes exactly as we asked. He did a phenomenal job with announcements throughout the night, and when it was time to party he got the whole room to shift into dance mode!! The vibes were amazing with his lights, and they lit the whole room up! Connor took requests from the crowd and mixed everything so it was a total jam. So many compliments were received and given about who we picked for our DJ. Connor, we loved you, party hard!

We definitely made the right decision hiring Nic to be our DJ for our November 2019 wedding. He is professional, courteous, friendly, and an amazing DJ! He was quick to answer all questions throughout our planning process (which was a BREEZE with their simple to use online planning forms!) and made us feel at ease. We cannot thank Nic and BCP enough for giving us a reception that we'll remember for a lifetime. Your music experience plays such an incremental part on your wedding day and Nic over delivered and exceeded all expectations we have. I will forever recommend this company. Stop searching and hire Nic Sandstrom with BCP Weddings, right now. You won't regret it!

Like I said, if you're looking for a DJ... Look no further. Thanks man!
