So happy we hired ASE DJ! They were all so fun and professional with a lot of experience! AND they had worked at our wedding venue many times before, which was helpful! We HIGHLY recommend the DJ + Drummer combo. Definitely worth the money and it was just all around very cool! A lot of our guests thought we had a whole band there!! :) They were also great with kids since my niece was the only kid there, they provided her with a little drum to play with and she has the BEST time!

Tim and his team were great to work with. The tools they created were easy to use and make selecting a playlist easy. Our DJ Jared kept people on the floor all night and checked in with us often! More...

Cory was our DJ & he did a wonderful job ensuring that the dance floor was full and busy all night long! He helped to make sure that the music was done correctly for the ceremony also!

Cory received compliments from our guests and venue as well for being able to keep the perfect level of music going as well as constantly being aware of what the guests needed/wanted for the party to continue moving! We had so many people on the dance floor all night long!!

Our DJ, Dustin, did a fantastic job the day of our wedding. He did a fantastic job MCing the event and making sure our guests were having fun. He also kept the dance floor full all night. Our guests had a blast and it is largely due to how great our DJ was. ASE DJ is ran by two great folks two - Tim and Misty - who are easy to chat with, flexible, and very good at what they do. They helped us put together and refine our timeline and plan for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They were super easy to work with. We’d highly recommend! More...

We hired a special even DJ for our wedding in August. Cody did an amazing job! He was always double checking with me to make sure we were on time and validated my choices. And when my groomsmen wanted to be introduced as their nicknames, he ran it by me first. My family and friends love to dance and we were on the dance floor all night! Thank you so much! More...

We hired ASDJ for our wedding this September and they were great! Tim was responsive and made sure that we had a solid plan for the day of our wedding day. We were lucky enough to get Cody as our DJ and we LOVED him. He was on top of everything and made the reception run smoother than we could have imagined. He worked well with our Wedding Coordinator along with us and our guests to ensure everyone was having a great time. Would 10/10 recommend Cody for your event! More...

I used ASDJ for their photo booth. They were professional, communicative and the attendant (whose name I cannot remember for the life of me) was super sweet. The book they put together for us is amazing and I really appreciate the thumb drive! The only draw back (and this really isn’t their fault) is that greenery backdrop I paid extra for doesn’t really show in the pictures because of the lighting in the venue. Thank you, Tim and crew!

We hired a Special Event DJ for our wedding this July, and it was worth every penny. This is a well-run business. They fit you with a DJ that will work best for your wedding and your vibe. 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!

I absolutely loved everything about working with them - their online portal to make your playlists was so easy to use, I had someone reach out to me multiple times between booking and the event to make sure everything was taken care of, and our dj, DK, was absolutely amazing. Our dance floor was packed all night and I had at least 5+ people ask who was dj'ing because they had the best time. Thank you so much for making our evening so memorable and perfect!! More...

It took us a long time to decide on a DJ (because I was being picky) and I’m so glad we choose ASE!! We had Dustin out of CR and he did a great job. We had people on the dance floor all night long! He was very accommodating and multiple times would discreetly approach us and ask if we were ready for the food to start, first dance, etc. He kept things moving along and dismissed all of our tables for us as well. I love that ASE covers their speakers in the white covers - our first dance photos seem that much more special that I’m not seeing audio equipment in the background! It also helped everything blend into the background more. I absolutely would recommend ASE to anyone! More...

Let me start off by saying that our DJ was fantastic. Her name was Mara and she definitely knew what she was doing. Everyone at the wedding have a great time, and she certainly deserves that credit.

The only bad part about this company is that the planning professionals are separate from the DJs. Our DJ was perfect. But the people that helped us plan could be pushy and when they offered advice, it came off a little condescending. I took advice from a lot of my vendors, and sometimes the planning professionals at this company just rubbed me the wrong way.

Dustin & Jill were great to work with - everything went smoothly and our crowd had a blast on the dance floor. We used the photobooth & it was quite a hit, they were able to use my design for the strips, which was a great added bonus. Dustin did our wedding party entrance to the Bulls intro theme (not an easy task) and totally nailed it.

The only thing I was disappointed in is that their URL was on our photostrips after I had confirmed this would be removed, and the strips were kind of wonkily cut (I'm a type A so noticed this). Also, some coordination with their planner, Ellie, was a little difficult at times, but it all got smoothed out in the end.

As a wedding photographer (I co-own ZTS Photo with my husband) we've worked with a variety of DJ's through the years at multiple venues around the Des Moines area. A Special Event is always professional and punctual. As a photographer a DJ truly makes or breaks your reception, and they are always spot on. Highly recommend them to our couples! More...

Kelsey, our DJ was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She made our wedding day amazing and literally had to kick us off the dance floor at the end of the night :) When pics took a little longer than expected, she turned on Disney music to entertain and give the little ones time to dance before the dance floor filled up. The photobooth was fun for everyone also! We would def recommend her and ASE. Thanks for an amazing wedding reception. :) More...
