Marie R.
Absolute Music was back at our 2018 Relay For Life of Jackson County. We love having them each year. They are a lot of fun and fare a great supporter of Relay and other community events. You can not go wrong in having Absolute Music DJ and Photo service at your event ( weddings, school, or community activities). Looking forward to having them at Relay in 2019 Absolute Music was an excellent DJ for our Jackson County Relay For Life Event. They did a great job of setting the mood during the night with the music and a took requests also. the Photo Booth was a hit with all of the kids and various families attending Relay. Can't wait to have them back again next year.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much. We love the Jackson County Relay for Life Event! We are already looking forward to next year.

Jared and his team were absolutely amazing to work with. they did a fantastic job day of the wedding. They kept the dance floor very busy during the night. we had lots of compliments about the music and photo booth. Give them a call for all your DJ and photo booth needs. Thank you, absolute music for all your hard work
Response from the owner:Thank you, Megan!
Kandice E.
We had absolute for our wedding. They were good with communication all up until the day of. A young man appeared to set up and operate the photo booth. I had not met this man nor did I even get to speak to him. Guests were confused whether they were to take photo prints or not. The quality of the prints were great but we didnt get our USB drive per our contract instead they were put on facebook. I was ok with that but didnt know up front. It went over well but I just wish I had known what to expect.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Kandice. We do not offer a USB drive option with our service and a USB option is not referenced on our contract. Nevertheless, sorry for the confusion.
Lynn K.
Brad and Mary DJ'd for our daughter's Wedding and they were awesome. They were very professional and helpful with those finishing touches and the Wedding Party loved them. Brad made the effort to go out and talk to the Wedding party and line everyone up so they could enter in an orderly fashion.They kept the dance floor full all night. Would highly recommend asking for Mary and Brad. Some of the other DJ's Are not as accomodating. We had numerous gusts inquiring who they were.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Lynn.

We had a great experience with Absolute Music. They kept our guests out on the dance floor and played a nice variety of music to satisfy all of our guests. They were so great about jumping in and dismissing our tables for dinner and making sure everything was going well. Would absolutely recommend them!

To Brad & Mary You both did a great, over the top job! Coming out when the bus arrived to get everything talked over worked great and I didn’t expect that at all. The music the whole night was great and we received many many compliments! You kept us informed throughout the night and had great suggestions of when things should get played. The dance floor was never empty! Thank you for making the end of our beautiful wedding day at the Dyersville commercial club end very well! Peter & Brittany Ryan
Response from the owner:Thank you, Brittany!
