Wedding DJ Questions

How far do you travel?

We serve couples within 80 miles of Dubuque, Iowa, with no travel, setup or teardown fees, just the package you choose.

How do we plan our music?

After you book, you fill out our wedding event worksheet. It is where you tell us your timeline, must-play songs, do-not-play list and key details. We ask that you submit the complete and final worksheet as close to 30 days before your wedding as possible. If you need more time to gather the information, please take that time and email info@absolutemusicdjs.com to let us know.

Is ceremony sound included?

Ceremony sound can be added to one of our DJ packages. We typically do not do ceremonies unless we are also your DJ. It covers a sound system for your ceremony, a microphone and stand for your officiant, about 30 minutes of background music before the ceremony, and your processional, recessional and other ceremony songs.

How do we reserve our date?

Your date is secured once we have received your signed contract and processed your non-refundable retainer of half of your total. Print the contract, fill it out, sign it, and mail it with your check to the address on the contract. Once both have arrived and the retainer is processed, we email you to confirm you are officially on our calendar.

Natalee M.

We had the duo of Mike & Olivia for our wedding! Mike ran the DJ booth and he kept the dance floor full all night! Olivia ran the photo booth and kept our guests in there all through the night! They both made the best team for our wedding, their personalities were so easy to work with, and we loved seeing them enjoy our wedding as well! Could not thank this team enough for making our day so memorable 🤍

Response from the owner:It's wonderful to hear that Mike and Olivia made such a positive impact on your wedding day! Their ability to keep the dance floor lively and engage your guests sounds fantastic. We're thrilled that you appreciated their personalities and felt their enjoyment of the event as well.

Kate A.

I got the privilege of working with Jered at a wedding last spring. He did a wonderful job communicating with us and keeping the timeline moving when the venue coordinator repeatedly dropped the ball and was less than communicative. He read the room perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night. Super personable guy and we look forward to working with him again in the future!

Response from the owner:It's great to hear that Jered was able to keep the timeline on track and ensure a lively atmosphere for your wedding! Your appreciation for his communication and personal touch is valued, and we look forward to working with you again. Thank you, Kate! 🎉

Harlin K.

Brad from Absolute music showed up to our venue the day before our wedding and got everything setup and ready for us! During his setup he walked us through the plan one last time to make sure we were all on the same page as far as transitions, announcements, etc. Brad walking through the plan and coordinating with our venue and other vendors made us feel confident that he would handle some of the things we hadn’t fully thought through. On the day of, everything went perfect and Brad kept things on time when they needed to be and flexed just the right amount to allow the day to flow seamlessly! Would highly recommend, also the photobooth was great :)!

Response from the owner:It's wonderful to hear that Brad's thorough preparation and attention to detail helped make your wedding day smooth and enjoyable! We're glad he was able to coordinate well with everyone involved. Thank you for recommending us, Harlin! 🎉
