Wedding DJs that don't suck
Hi everyone,
I am having troubles with my wedding reception music. I hate wedding DJs, because they often play cheesy music that's the same at every wedding (YMCA, Chicken Dance, Unchained Melody, Brown Eyed Girl, Celebration, anything that you cringe and say ' kill me' when you hear it), and that is exactly what I don't want. My fiance and I both like a variety of known and lesser known music (indie, prog rock, jazz, etc) and only like a smaller selection of "pop" music. Because of that, we had my cousin (with an eclectic music taste) booked to DJ and rented a DIY DJ package with all the equipment (my cousin has some DJing experience, but not with weddings). Long story short, I don't think the cousin DJing thing is going to work out. I need to find a wedding DJ or alternative (I'd love a band, but they're so expensive) ASAP, and I would like one that isn't corny and won't play the usual overplayed wedding music. Can anyone recommend a good DJ in the Rochester/MSP area that is also budget-friendly?

Re: Wedding DJs that don't suck
I would rec mine, but I thought he sucked
Events by MV with DJ MV is fabulous. He works with you to select music you like. While he certainly has suggestions, will find and play whatever you want and will not play what you don't want. He is fairly exclusive and may already be booked but worth checking out. Works out of the Twin Cities but has done Rochester events - of course the fee would be higher.
Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.
