Amazing to work with we used them for DJ and photo booth and had a blast! All night long people were dancing and in the photo booth. We cannot say enough good things about them they made it clear from the beginning it was our day and would do everything they could to make it how we wanted it would use them again in a heat beat! Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!

Do you want to have fun at your wedding? Do you want an awesome DJ? Is having a good time at your wedding something that is important to you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, your hunt for a DJ is over. We found Absolute Music through reviews nearly two years ago before the pandemic, and I am so so glad we did. When we needed to reschedule our wedding reception, Jered made it so seamless and simple, there was never a reason to worry. Our DJ Shane was the absolute best. What kind of DJ walks around asking for requests and making personal connections with your family and friends? Shane does. So many people asked our parents who the DJ company was. I will tell people again and again to choose them. We are forever grateful for such a fun night in such a strange time. We were all able to let loose and have fun! Thank you thank you THANK YOU Shane! You are the absolute best and we will recommend you all to anyone who will listen! 🖤

Rachel H.

Absolute Music is the best D.J. company you will ever find. I have attended many events that Absolute Music provided both the music and the photo booth as well. Mike and Olivia Foht do an excellent job of keeping the party hopping. They are always professional looking and accommodating. The best part of a wedding is the photo album presented to the new bride and groom. As well as any other events. The album allows them to see the comical and fun sides of their guests. They provide a copy for the guest as a rememberarance of their fun! Absolute Music has many different types of music to choose from, and they cater to any age group! Absolute Music is fanominal!

Rose W.

We had a perfect experience using Absolute music for our wedding. Brad and Mary, were amazing! We had to worry about absolutely nothing, and the music selection was great! Anything we needed they were 2 steps ahead of. Would absolutely recommend!

Drew E.

Mike is a down to earth, easy to work with kind of guy. I definitely would recommend his company to anyone. Keep doing your thing Absolute music!

OTC

Our wedding reception wouldn't of been as amazing as it was without them!

Kellie Mullen M.

Julie W.

We worked with Jered while booking our photo booth for our wedding this past Friday and I highly recommend!!! They were so great and flexible with us as we had to change our dates from June to August due to the circumstances! Everyone had a blast with the photo booth!

Kristy G.

Absolute was at a friend's birthday party and they were great! It was a lot of fun and they were very personable.

Debbie B.

They were awesome. Very easy to work with. Kept the dance floor full all night and everyone loved the photobooth.

Brian P.

Absolute Music Was the DJ for our elementary school’s fall family gathering and did a wonderful job! Shane was so helpful and prepared. I would highly recommend!

Abby S.

Mitch K.

Excellent job! Absolute Music was great to work with and our guest had a blast at our wedding reception. We had the photo booth as well and everyone was raving how fun it was. It is so nice that there is so much room for more than just a couple people to be in the pictures. The music and photo booth were a big hit. Our wedding went great thanks to Absolute Music. They set up before our guest arrived and were so easy to work with. We would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a DJ and/or a photo booth.

Leanne B.

Very professional and organized DJ service! They play requests and know how to feel out the crowd to keep the dance floor hopping! I'd highly recommend Absolute Music for your next event, you won't be disappointed!

Carrie P.

Did a great job at our wedding. Couldn't have asked for better. Lights were beautiful and music was great.

Brittany T.

Absolute Music is easy to work with. They are very experienced and know what songs to play to get the crowd dancing!

Nancy H.

We had absolute music DJ our wedding reception. They played everything we asked them to play and kept people on the dance floor all night. They were very friendly and easy to work with, and we would recommend them for any DJ needs.

Cody B.

As wedding DJ's go, Absolute Music is the best! For those who have planned a wedding, you know how stressful it can be to go from finding one vendor to another. Absolute Music was so easy to contact, get pricing, and book! My now husband Jason and I had to change our date a few times due to COVID and Jered was so responsive of all the changes and questions! Fast forward through 2 years of planning to the actual day, we could not have asked for a better DJ. Shane was AMAZING! He was easy going and helped us know what was next or what changes we could make to make things flow! He played everything we asked for and got everyone on the dance floor! He even got my father to dance, who never does! I could not recommend Absolute Music enough.

Kathryn B.

I highly recommend Absolute Music! Shane was our DJ two weeks ago at our wedding and he did an amazing job! He kept the dance floor full and he was so great to work with! Would recommend Absolute Music to anyone!

Cassandra Renee K.

I would not refer anyone elseThey know how to make a party greatJenny knows what the crowd wants without even askingWant the best, Absolute Music is the answer

Steven R.

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.

Lynn K.

Brad and Mary did an AMAZING job DJing our wedding. They always made sure to find us and ask if we needed anything, if we had any requests, and most importantly, asked us what we wanted to do next and when. They even went over our wedding intro and names when we got to the reception. They were very helpful and easy to get a hold of. 10/10 recommend Absolute Music!!

Tonya M.

We hired Absolute Music for our wedding reception in September! They were so great! They played all of our requested songs and were very professional! If you are looking for a great wedding DJ, check them out!

Ronnie M.

DJ Mike did a fantastic job keeping the party going at our wedding! He went above and beyond doing what he could to make the day extra special. Great MC, communicator, and of course song spinner😊 Thanks so much!

Mary B.

Brad and Mary did a fantastic job DJing our wedding! We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with; they asked for feedback and followed up with how we were doing throughout the night and were on top of all our music wants and needs. We appreciate everything they did for us and especially want to point out how helpful Mary was in gathering the wedding party and even getting us drinks. The photo booth was also a big hit and we want to thank Denise for taking charge of that and putting together a scrapbook of all the memories made in the booth.Amazing to work with; thank you all!

Heidi E.

Absolute music did an amazing job for our wedding. I would highly recommend them for any upcoming events you may have. They were very professional, accommodating to any and all request (even last minute changes we made a day or two before and that day), and the lighting was beautiful. The music selection was great and Shane knew what to play for the crowd We had so that everyone was entertained. We even had people from other weddings come in to ours to dance. I cannot say enough about how wonderful they were to work with! Thank you Shane for all your hard work on our wedding day!!

Michelle U.

Brad and Mary are dam fabulous!!!!!!!!

Lacey C.

The photo booth from Absolute Music was PERFECT for our prom event! The customizable strips matched our theme perfectly and the kids had so much fun posing with all the props.

Monica B.

They were awesome to work with and did a great job at our wedding!

Kara L.

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

Brittany R.

Highly recommend! Brad did a fantastic job at our wedding! He went above and beyond! Everything was great from the setup, the music, the quality, the lighting! Thank you Brad!

Sabina M.

I called Absolute Music on short notice after my initial DJ backed out two weeks before my daughters Bat Mitzvah. I am so happy that the other DJ didn’t work out as Brad and Mary were the best! They played great music during the arrival times and then they kept the kids and adults on the dance floor all night with appropriate, fun, upbeat selections of music. They consistently checked in to make sure the music was what we wanted and to make sure the sound levels were appropriate. The music was loud enough to dance to but not so loud that people couldn’t carry on conversations. I would hire them in a heartbeat. They also helped me trouble shoot an AV issue that was a important element of the party. Their communication before the event was timely and they were available at all times for any questions. Hire them!

Maria W.

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

Megan P.

My daughter just got married last weekend and we could not have found a better dj/photo booth set up. The DJ was super friendly and genuinely concerned about making sure everything went as planned. He approached my daughter and myself several times to make sure everything was alright. I highly recommend this place for any reception! Great job absolute music!👏👏👏👏👏👍

Peg H.

We love Absolute Music! They've provided music to a couple of events I've been to and they always play a great selection of music. Very knowledgeable and professional crew and super accommodating. Brad and Mary are amazing! I'll definitely be seeking their services again and would highly recommend them to friends.

Amanda M.

We were at a wedding this last weekend and they had a gentleman named Shane as tube Dj. Let me just say this guy rocked! Not only did he know his music but he showed a lot of compassion for the bride and groom making sure everything went as planned and went out of his way to to so. Hands down the best wedding we've attended all thanks to this guy.

Amanda P.

They kept the music going and people dancing! Very happy with them for DJing our wedding

Keri F.

Absolute Music was our DJ for our ceremony and reception and also provided us with the photobooth! I was so happy they came in and set up early had everything organized and then came to my husband and I to verify every small detail, making sure our day was absolutely perfect! They were so kind and definitely made our day fun and special! Thank you Absolute Music! We had so many compliments of how nice Shane was of how fun the photobooth was! We would recommend them in a heartbeat!Emily & Colton Lampe

Emily B.

Energetic DJs with great music selection

Kdy C.

Absolute Music was one of the highlights of our wedding. We used their photobooth! Everyone loved it! They even brought fun props, and the picture were printed immediately. They also gave me tons of templates to pick from! The attendants were very very sweet and accommodating. I wish I could give them 6 stars! Thank you Absolute Music for making our wedding a little more memorable 🖤

Kayla V.

We had Shane as our DJ for our wedding this past weekend. He was phenomenal!! The entire experience was perfect. He interacted with our guests, kept everyone entertained(ages newborn to 93 years old!!), and always had a smile on his face. He threw in a few surprises for us, and they will be remembered for years to come. Our day would not have been complete without Shane and Absolute Music. I can’t recommend them enough!!!

Jeff M.

Brad and Mary did an amazing job at our wedding!!

Nahdia A.

Beau K.

ABSOLUTEly perfect! Thank you!

Raquel B.

We had Absolute Music for a Trivia Night fundraiser and they did a wonderful job! They were very well prepared and so easy to work with! If we had a request they made sure to accommodate! I would highly recommend!

Ashlee J.

We had Shane as our DJ for our daughter's wedding last night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Everyone was having a blast and he kept the dance floor hopping right up to the end. We've gotten so many messages and comments from guests about how much fun they had. Thank you Absolute Music and Shane!

Michelle H.

Coming from a guy from Charleston South Carolina I would hands down recommend absolute over any other dj. We had a gentleman named Shane and he killed it! I couldnt believe how Shane was able to keep everyone on the floor and actually listened to what people wanted but more impressive he was able to read the crowd!

Bradley B.

Absolute music was great to work with. Highly recommend! The DJ was great and the Photo Booth we had at our school spring fling event was a huge hit!

Leah N.

I cannot praise Absolute Music enough! Planning a wedding is stressful enough but add a non-responsive DJ on top of that. My husband and I decided to let go of our previous DJ and we hired Absolute Music for our October 4th wedding and we are beyond happy we made that decision. They were always extremely responsive with my questions and very organized.The day of my wedding Mike was absolutely perfect. He constantly communicated with myself and my husband to ensure things went smoothly. If he had questions or suggestions, he came up and talked to us about it. He was also so incredibly attentive to us and the entire head table. We never had an empty drink in hand. He made sure my husband and I were well taken care of but he also made sure to keep the party going and the guests dancing with great music. I absolutely loved his touch of "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast during dinner. He also had me use the Best Man as a chair (I sat on his back while he was on his hands and knees) during the garter toss and it was awesome. The videos of that are hilarious.THANK YOU SO MUCH ABSOLUTE MUSIC!! You made the rest of the planning process easy and helped make our big day absolutely perfect.

Mallory L.

Shawna L.

Excellent music, amazing song selection assistance. The photobooth was top notch. They kept everyone dancing all night at our wedding. Could not have been happier with them. They are highly recommended!

Jacob W.

Absolute Music came to our elementary school Spring Fling and did a fantastic job! The kids were engaged and really enjoyed the photo booth! We'll definitely continue using them!

Leah N

Jason H.

They have fun and friendly staff at your event. Price is reasonable. Everytime they are involved it's the best time and unforgettable. Would recommend them anytime. Love!

Jenny D.

Beth W.

We used Absolute Music for our wedding this past weekend! Not only did they travel to us in Waterloo, but Denise was more than organized when she got there. She made sure to check in with us with her detailed check list before our reception began! She stopped at the head table several times during dinner to check out our drink situation! Yes she was our DJ not our personal Bartender!!! Me as the Bride, I can say I may have only left the dance floor for a total of 4 songs! She had us dancing all night!!! Can not say enough about her great service!

Jen

Having Absolute Music do the music at a birthday party & the 4th of July Derby was guaranteed fun! Requesting your favorites, not a problem. And, the photo booth can be silly or serious, whatever suits your mood. Can't wait to experience Absolute Music again soon. 5 stars all the way.

Toni H.

Wedding review!DJ Shane was absolutely amazing. He took the time to get to know exactly what we wanted and went above and beyond our expectations to make the experience phenomenal. He knew exactly how to keep our wedding reception fun and used his expertise to keep the energy high all night. Shane was very attentive to each part of the reception to make sure everything went smoothly. We can’t thank him enough and would highly recommend him and absolute music as a DJ service.

Jacob G.

Absolute Music is the best! Highly recommend!! We had Shane DJ our wedding and he was amazing. We had the best day & will recommend Absolute Music services to everyone!! The business went above and BEYOND to make sure we were having the best time!

McKenzey T.

Working with Jered and Shane was such an easy and memorable experience. Jered was communicative throughout the whole process and got back to me quickly about all the questions that I had. Shane on the day of made sure that my husband’s and my wedding was exactly how we envisioned it to be! So glad we hired them for our event!!

Rachael E.

Ronda R.

Wedding review!!We basically planned our entire wedding in 6 months and were debating between DJs but soooo glad we chose Absolute Music. Our DJ was Brad and he was so great! He would make sure everything was going to plan, came up to me and my husband and asked us what we wanted to do next, if we wanted to do this or that. Nothing was a surprise and he did great! Even let people request songs on the journal that he put out and honestly he didn't seem bothered by all my song requests haha so thanks Brad!! The lighting, sound was excellent as well! If your venue can dim their lights, then whatever Absolute Music comes with will be just fine! The set up was great.. seriously would book again!He worked so hard and our servers even forgot to give him his meal and it was too late until I realized but he didn't mind at all so we're sorry Brad! Thank you!!

Sabina M.

Brad and Mary were the DJs at our wedding a few weeks and they were amazing! They made sure everything ran smoothly and their music selection was perfect for our crowd. We had so much fun!

Anna W.

Absolute Music was so great to work with for our wedding this October! They had our dance floor FULL until the very last song shut off, and we still have people talking about how much fun the music and dancing were! Definitely recommend.

Cassie B.

They do a great job, and make for a fun event.

GavStreet _

I want to give a HUGE HUGE shout out to Shane who was our DJ at our reception last night! Shane made our night sooo much easier with how organized he was and he was SO much fun! I could not have thanked him enough! He had so many great ideas that we hadn't thought of, and most of all, just made our night so much enjoyable, and we had a BLAST! From the bottoms of our hearts Shane, thank you for making our night one we will never forget! Sam and Caitie❤️

Caitie D.

Working with Absolute Music this year for our Dance Marathon was an absolute blast! They were flexible with our schedule and very easy to work with for our 12hr event. We are very thankful for their donation and look forward to continuing our partnership in the future!

Brinton V.

We had Absolute Music at our wedding and they were nothing short of amazing! Not only was our dance floor packed the whole night but they also ensured not only my new husband and I were happy but also our parents. That was amazing! They asked when we wanted certain songs, if we were happy with the music, and if certain guest recommendations were okay. They made sure we got what we wanted while also ensuring our parents got what they wanted! They made our wedding night perfect! I HIGHLY recommend them if you want a DJ that will ensure your wedding is how YOU want it! I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! ❤️

Kristin B.

We had Brad and Mary from Absolute Music do our wedding reception and we had nothing but compliments on them! They were flexible when I changed something with our intros last minute and played a wide variety of music that kept tons of people on the dance floor until the very end. Our venue told us they had never had that many people stay until the end! All in all they did an awesome job and were super flexible and kept us informed of their plans throughout the entire night! Nothing but great things!!

Kelli J.

I booked Absolute Music for Thanksgiving night at Kennedy Mall. They were able to play for the mall until midnight. People loved the DJ and thought his music selections were awesome. I would definitely book them again.

Liz R.

Absolute Music DJ’d our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding this past weekend and did a tremendous job! They were very organized before the event, followed all of the couple’s requests, and kept the party-goers engaged. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Thank you!!!!

Jennifer H.

We used Absolute Music DJ and photo booth services for our wedding. They were the best to work with. The DJ, Shane if I remember correctly, played the perfect music to keep the dance floor full the entire night. I’m sure this party would have kept going hours longer if we were allowed to stay. The photo booth was fun, easy to use, and had a ton of perfect props. If I ever need DJ or photo booth services again Absolute Music is 100% my first and only call. Thanks so much for making our day so special.

Jordan J. E.

Absolute Music did an outstanding job for our fundraising efforts again this year! They are very easy to work with and prompt on returning your messages! Brad and Mary were very helpful! We will defiantly be having them back for a third time!

pamela D.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Absolute Music at our reception at our wedding in October 3rd. They were AMAZING. Super flexible and know how to have fun! I told the DJ I wanted to honor my dad in heaven by playing a certain song and he was prepared with a short speech before introducing it! The dance floor was full all night after! I would 100% recommend having them at your wedding!

Michelle F.

We had Mike F. Play at our wedding with this company and he kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. Of all ages. We had so much fun and I would recommend him to anyone with any event! Great job! Thank you so much for making our wedding a memorable one!

Nicole A.

We had Shane last night as our DJ for our daughter's wedding reception last night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Everyone was having a blast and he kept the dance floor hopping right up to the end. We got so many messages and comments from guests about how much fun they had. Thank you Absolute Music and Shane!

Michelle H.

I recently attended a Birthday party and Absolute Music knew just how to keep the dance floor packed! Highly recommend this team of DJ's!!!

Jenni N.

We had Shane as our DJ at our wedding this past weekend and can’t say enough about how amazing the experience was! Not only was there people on the dance floor the entire night, almost everyone from all age groups was on the dance floor at some point having a grand ole time! Some people never even got off the dance floor because it was one great song after another! Way to read the crowd and make our wedding night one that people have been talking about non-stop! 11/10 would recommend for an event!

Nicole F.

Haley H.

Awesome job! They took the extra step to make sure the night was unforgettable!

Ashley F.

Absolute Music made my wedding reception a night I will never forget! Always made sure we were enjoying the music and having a good time. People were dancing all night long, including myself! 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing a DJ and/or photo booth!

Danielle O.

DJ Mike was a few minutes late, which stressed me out some, but I wanted to say, that I was so impressed with the overall experience at our wedding.He was extremely helpful, attentive, stopped by to confirm/ask questions. He worked so hard to make the night perfect.We are so grateful to have had him keep the jams going all night and our guests were out on the dance floor all night.So unbelievably happy with this service. I threw several last minute changes at him as my violinist couldn't show up, and we removed some games and such happening that night, and he crushed it. He also stopped by a few times to ask my groom and I if we needed anything, a drink, a song etc.He was great. wanted to express my happiness with absolute music!Perfect DJ for our wedding!

Amanda K.

Katie R.

Brad and Mary did an awesome job at our daughter's wedding! The dance floor was packed all night. They were easy and fun to work with and even played us one more song!

Mary Ellen B.

Highly Recommend Absolute Music!! Shane was the DJ for my son's wedding and kept the dance floor full all night long!! Very professional and kept the crowd entertained all night!!

Jen M.

Absolute Music did a great job for our wedding! They worked to keep the energy level up....so much fun! Denise did a great job!

Pam D.

Jennifer H.

Absolute music is the very best! Every year, they provide our photo booth for our non profit and it is the highlight of the evening! The staff are amazing and the pictures always turn out fantastic! We will always ask them to be a part of our events and would highly recommend them!

Nellie K.

We were at a wedding this last weekend and they had a gentleman named Shane as the Dj. Let me just say this guy rocked! Not only did he know his music but he showed a lot of compassion for the bride and groom making sure everything went as planned and went out of his way to to so. Hands down the best wedding we've attended all thanks to this guy.

Amanda P.

Absolute Music was amazing! Our reception had some last minute changes and our DJ did very well with rolling with the punches! They even helped us rearrange tables for our dance floor. 5 out of 5 stars hands down! Thank you guys!

Megan B.

Our guests loved Absolute!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!

Brianna Mae S.

Absolute music did a wonderful job with our wedding. They were professional and courteous. Having Absolute music there added to the success of our celebration. I highly recommend their DJ services.

Caleb D.

Brad Dj last night and killed our wedding dance floor last night! He was considerate towards me as the bride and took all of our request! Thank you so much for making our day so memorable!

Callie R.

Wow, what can I say? DJ Mike H. Was fantastic (probably the best we have ever experienced), he judged our crowd with attention to detail and everyone loved the music that was played. I was also amazed at how many of the requests he played without making the selections sound too random. Absolutely brilliant! In addition to the DJ service which is why we hired them, we also had a photo booth and yard games. This was an excellent way to entertain the kids as well as create lasting memories for all of our guests. Highly recommend these services as well as not all of our guests where huge dancers and this gave them something to do while enjoying the night with us. Up until the event Jered helped us out with all the details which led us to not have a single worry going into our big day. The planning tool these guys use handled everything and could have not been easier. Now I understand why these guys have 20x more 5 star reviews than any other company within 200 miles. They are professional and understand how to make newlyweds feel comfortable. Thanks again and myself and guests will highly recommend you to all of our friends and family.

Dubuque S.

Absolute Music has done our Heritage Days Parade for many years! He keeps the crowd entertained while providing the crowd with information about each float as it comes around the corner! Absolute Music also plays the best music and keeps the kids dancing the night away while we wait for the Fireworks to start! Awesome job! Keep up the good work.

Carrie W.

I haven't used their services personally, but my husband and I had the honor of working alongside Shane at a wedding we photographed. He was so friendly and professional, awesome at communication and making everything run smoothly, and so good at reading the crowd. Grateful for the chance to work alongside Absolute Music!

Molly S.

Brad & Mary were AMAZING at my sister’s wedding yesterday!! The dance floor was packed all night, they played all of our requests and they were so kind and respectful. 10/10!

Clara M.

Brad and Mary killed it at this wedding!!

Kirsten W.

The best DJ's and photo booth in the area! You will not be disappointed with Absolute Music!

Mary V.

We’ve used these dj’s the last two years for a fundraiser. RockNRoll bingo has been a huge success and everyone who comes says they’ve had a blast. Looking forward to working together again the future!

Steve H.

Shane DJ'd my friends' wedding and was absolutely perfect! The mix of music was awesome and he engaged the crowd without being corny. Extremely friendly with even the drunkest people at the wedding, he was a true professional. Highly recommend these guys.

Frank T.

This company is GREAT!!!!!!
We had Mike dj for our wedding reception in October & he played a variety of great music.

Andrea B.

This is truly the best DJ company ever. So fun, so professional and plays the best music! I had the time of my life dancing at the wedding I was at. Definitely would recommend if you want someone who is friendly, and ensures everyone has a great time!

We hired Absolute Music for our wedding this past month and they were absolutely amazing to work with! We hired them for ceremony music, dj reception services and also for their photo booth! We’ve heard nothing but great things from our guests about how fun of an addition the photo booth was and how perfect the music was that they played! Our dance floor was packed basically all night! We would DEFINITELY hire this company again!

Very professional and organized! They played for our ceremony and reception. All good reviews from guest also as they could hear speeches even in the back of the room and kept the dance floor full! Highly recommend!

We had Shane from Absolute Music as the DJ for our wedding earlier this month and he was AWESOME! He was so professional, timely, is a great communicator and knows how to keep everyone on the dance floor! Not only did our family comment on how wonderful he was but multiple guests did as well! We had some communication issues with other vendors that evening and Shane was right there to help with everything as needed to keep the reception flowing smoothly! He did a great job at watching my timeline and even brought it to my attention when my late night snack didn’t arrive so that I could resolve the issue! He even offered to help me with a few things once the reception ended! He went above and beyond and we would highly recommend Absolute Music (AM) and Shane! Communication with AM throughout the whole planning process was also great as they were very timely with their responses and answered my many questions! Thank you!

Dj Mike was amazing!!!!!! Played the exact song I wanted right away!!! My brother's wedding was absolutely amazing!!!!!

This is our second time booking Absolute Music for the photo booth service at our high school Prom. Shane was early, set up with ease, and so friendly. The booth had great props and students got two photo strips for each visit to the booth. Great service for our HS prom! The link for digital images is also an added bonus so students can save their memories and share them out on social media. We will definitely book Absolute Music again!

Lisa S.

My wife and I could not be more pleased with how our night went! All thanks to Shane who took care of us from the beginning when he showed up to set up to the end. We were on a bus taking pictures around Dubuque when Shane arrived, on our return he found us right away and walked through the details of what was going to come next. Instantly we felt at ease knowing Shane was in control and would make our day one to remember! Shane was very professional and was welcoming to our friends and family. Definitely reccomend Absolute Music for any large gathering! Again 10/10 reccomend!! Thanks Shane and absolute music!!

Eric S.

Great group of professionals. Highly recommend.

B. D.

I was EXTREMELY pleased with Shane for our wedding... as you probably know, the event coordinator at offshore is awful, and Shane did everything to help us and make sure we had the best time possible... he took over things that should have been her job, and I was so thankful! We got lots of compliments on the DJ, and he truly enhanced our experience!!!!

Lindsey P.

We highly recommend Brad and Mary as DJs!! They kept our wedding dance floor packed all night, and everyone had a great time! They played all the songs we requested. Brad was so attentive to what we needed, and Mary was flexible and easygoing. They are the perfect pair to work with! Thank you so much!! - Ruth & Jonny

Ruth C.

Absolute Music DJ’d our school event. They were great to work with. The kids love the photo booth!

Angela N.

Would 100% recommend Absolute Music. They provided DJ services at my wedding, and they were great! I was extra particular about my choice for a DJ because I wanted someone that would play spanish music. Being in Dubuque, I knew I was going to run into some challenges with the familiarity of servicing spanish music. They admittedly said they don't typically play much spanish music, but were open to working with me to make sure they were able to play what I wanted. I gave them my songs, and they ran with it in the best way. The dance floor was packed, and I did just what I had hoped on my wedding: danced all night long! They were extremely accommodating. They offer such affordable prices. Thank you, Absolute Music.

Absolute music was great. We had them for our wedding reception. They were quick to set up, and most importantly kept everything running smoothly. The photo booth we ordered was great as well. Everyone that was working for absolute was very friendly and polite.

Matt B.

We used Absolute Music as our wedding DJ. Shane was our DJ and he made the night run smoothly. He went above and beyond being an excellent DJ. Shane did not ask me a million questions, but instead would get my input then get things done. He was extremely helpful. Additionally, everyone was dancing all night. The music was awesome. Couldnt ask for a better service and they charge an incredibly reasonable rate!

Maggie M.

Shane was such a fun DJ! Willing to do whatever we asked to make sure everyone had a great time! Highly recommended their services!! We had a blast.

Mandy N.

Absolute Music came highly recommended by a trusted friend and professional. They were extremely gracious and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Craig N.

Matt J.

I highly recommend Absolute Music!! They did a fantastic job at our wedding this weekend and kept the party going all night. Shane was awesome, so thoughtful and a lot of fun! We had so many compliments on the DJ, even from our older crowd that didn't dance and just enjoyed the music and watching others dance. The photo booth was a huge hit and the props were great! There was a little miscommunication through email so I recommend touching base once they arrive to make sure they have all your requests but that was very minor and other than that they were incredible to work with! I highly recommend them! Thank you so much Absolute Music!

Samantha Tschirgi B.

Jerad and Rachel H.

Absolutely amazing! Our dj kept the dance floor packed all night, even played some extra songs when the party wouldn’t quit! Would definitely recommend for any event, especially weddings!!

Melissa Michaelis M.

Absolute Music is the best! We had Shane DJ our wedding and he was amazing. We had the best day & will recommend Absolute Music services to everyone!! The business went above and BEYOND to make sure I had the perfect song for our ceremony when I struggled to find the exact version I wanted!!

Kenzi H.

Thank you absolute Music
My other DJ backed out at the last minute and absolute music was there to fill in immediately.
Thanks again

Kathy O.

Great to work with! Extremely professional, fun, and very helpful!

Hannah E.

These guys know what they're doing! I talked to them a few days before our wedding on the phone to go over fine details and they told me that Shane would be my DJ and he would take care of us and boy did he deliver! While on the phone I was told that I may be nervous but this is what they do, and when it came down to it, it showed. Shane worked hard with our event coordinator to alter our schedule as we fell behind. He was calm and relaxed the whole night working to make sure all were engaged and having a great time, he was personable and looked out for everyone's best interests the entire time. Great and easy company to work with.

Jarrett B.

Mike does such an awesome job!! He kept everyone out on the dance floor all night! We had so many compliments, and have never seen so many people still on the dance floor at closing time! Thank you Mike for making our special day so memorable! The photo booth really topped it off, great for kids!

M J

We had Absolute Music for our wedding in May as our DJ and Photo Booth. They were amazing! Leading up to the wedding, they were very professional and easy to communicate with. At our reception, they had the dance floor full the ENTIRE night. Our guests were begging for them to stay later, which they were kind enough to offer to do. They also kept all ages entertained with their fun and exciting photo booth! Whenever they had a question, they found my husband or I immediately (which was difficult with such a large crowd)! We were beyond impressed and would recommend them to anyone getting married in the surrounding area! Thank you SO much absolute Music!!!

Bayleigh E.

Absolute Music was amazing to work with. They helped provide a fun atmosphere and were flexible in the planning process for our event. We would use then again!

Brooke Van S.

Working with Jered beforehand and Shane the day-of our wedding was so easy! Jered was very responsive to all our inquiries and really helped us through the planning process. On the day of our wedding Shane was super enthusiastic and ready to make sure the night went according to our vision! We couldn’t have asked for a better company to play music for our wedding! We especially loved all the music that Shane played during dinner and the cocktail hour - something we hadn’t even thought about! You won’t be disappointed in hiring them for your event!

Rachael M.

Brett D.

Absolute Music was at our elementary school spring festival on Friday night and did an amazing job! The photo booth was a huge hit and the music was age appropriate and fun. Shane went above and beyond to help us with setup. He also had good ideas to get the kids involved, excited, and dancing. Highly recommended and thank you!!!

Erin N.

Absolute Music is amazing! I would give them more stars if I could. They played at my dads celebration of life. Played everything we wanted. They were professional, showed up on time, responded to emails/text before the party quickly. Can’t say enough good things about them.

J C

Absolute did a wonderful job at my wedding ceremony and reception! We had so much fun on dance floor, Mike definitely knew what he was doing! We got a lot of compliments and questions on who the DJ was!

Heather K.

Shout-out to Absolute Music for a great trivia night last Saturday! Looking forward to next year!

Tara E.

I work at The Magnolia Wedding venue and these guys are a dream to have on your wedding day! Helpful, easy going, and most of all good music!! Brad and Mary you guys are awesome - thank you so much!

Lexus S.

Thank you sooo much for doing an amazing job for our Homecoming event! The kids had an absolute blast and stayed until the very end!!!

Jessica K.

I will always recommend Absolute Music out of Dubuque! They did a wonderful job on my wedding Saturday (12-30-17). So many options for format of the photobooth print outs. Great props. Awesome at feeling out the crowd music wise. We had a largely older crowd and not many dancers. We still had MANY MANY complements from all different ages on the music and I saw people dancing that have not danced at other weddings I've been to. Wonderful mix of country, classic rock, pop... Wonderful sounding equipment. Very laid back and easy to work with in preparation of your special day!

Caitlin J.

Mike was absolutely perfect for our wedding! The dance floor was packed all night! He made sure our drinks were full and asked us throughout the night if we needed anything! He even stayed later to keep the party going! The photo booth was amazing! Will defiantly recommend you guys for DJ and photo booth services!

Abbie M.

Thank you guys for your help with our special day. These guys were very nice and they were very patient with us as we had a few people show up a little late. Overall the best dj I have seen around. Thanks again.

Ryan C.

I'm used to attending events where Absolute Music is running the show and knew these guys were a no brainer for our wedding. Absolute Music was an absolute treat-- from intake to the service day-of, they were top notch and clearly know what they're doing.DJ Shane rolled with the punches on a non-traditional setup and made sure everything was going as planned. Even though we didn't have a real dance-y group, Shane was on point with all the classics (and even my favorite remix) to keep everyone having fun.I cannot recommend Absolute Music enough for your next event.

Bennett N.

We were in search for a DJ service and stumbled across Absolute Music through a few people suggesting them on Facebook. During the process they were emailing back within a day answering any questions we have and helping us plan the day. At the wedding they were friendly and approached us right away with questions they had. He walked around and introduced himself to the parents and our aunt who was releasing table and told them exactly what to do and how he would like to happen. He was able to walk us through exactly what we (bride and groom) needed to do and even assisted our matron of honor when she was getting cold feet about giving her speech. He approached us periodically throughout the night to check in on how things were going and if we wanted to hear anything specific. He went above and beyond his job duties to make sure our night was perfect. So if you are looking for an amazing DJ for your night I highly consider checking them out!

Dan M.

Wow! Absolute Music was an INCREDIBLE vendor to work with for our wedding! I cannot say enough great things about both the DJ service and the Photo-Booth! Our guests had a blast and were on the dance floor all night; just like we wanted! Our DJ, Shane, was seriously the best! He was kind, professional, so easy to work with and kept the party going!!! I would 100% hire Absolute Music for any event that I do! Thanks Absolute Music! You made our reception a BLAST!

Melissa E.

@bsolute music was great to work with. We had DJ Shane and he was super accommodating to work with and we highly recommend using him for your DJ services! We used them to hold a DANCE PARTY and PHOTO BOOTH at Hills and Dales in Dubuque, IA. Shane was great! The photo booth was a huge hit! He had multiple props that people of all ages could use! Shane took song requests and played everything that was on our list! He was knowledgeable on current songs that would get people dancing!! We can’t say enough great things about Shane and @absolute music! We will be using them again 🙂

DJ Mike was a few minutes late, which stressed me out some, but I wanted to say, that I was so impressed with the overall experience at our wedding.

He was extremely helpful, attentive, stopped by to confirm/ask questions. He worked so hard to make the night perfect.

We are so grateful to have had him keep the jams going all night and our guests were out on the dance floor all night.

So unbelievably happy with this service. I threw several last minute changes at him as my violinist couldn't show up, and we removed some games and such happening that night, and he crushed it. He also stopped by a few times to ask my groom and I if we needed anything, a drink, a song etc.

He was great. wanted to express my happiness with absolute music!

Perfect DJ for our wedding!

Amanda E.

Absolute was great and so easy to work with!! Mike did an amazing job and did such a good job interacting and reading people to keep the party going at our wedding reception!

Absolute is great - they aren’t stuck on a preset list - they sense the crowd and continuously adapt so the experience just keeps building. They should be your FIRST CHOICE, big or small - you will never be disappointed! I’ve known, used and enjoyed this terrific team since 1997!

Absolute Music did a great job at our reception this Saturday! The photo booth was great (I love that I get copies of all the digital photos) and the DJ did a great job tailoring the music to keep people on the dance floor. They were easy to deal with when setting everything up and really handled everything that day so I didn't have to do anything. Would totally recommend them!

Jennifer C.

Denise did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding reception. The music was great and she kept the crowd dancing all night. I would recommend her for any special occasion you have. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hollie D.

Loved working with these people. They were so kind and flexible throughout the whole night. Totally recommend them!

Audrie B.

Our DJ went above and beyond. He played great music and would go around and tell people what was going on next so I didn't have to. It was a blast! The photo booth was so much fun, too

Brittany W.

Erin N.

This weekend I was in a wedding where the DJ that was contracted last year backed out on their promise last minute because they double booked themselves. As busy as Brad and Mary are they were able to make things happen for the Bride and Groom. Not only did they show up but they were professional and knocked it out of the park. I said multiple times to people.. I want this playlist! I don't think we heard one bad song.Keep up the great work Brad and Mary. I look forward to using your services soon!

Tyler B.

Absolute Music is the absolute best and they're not just for weddings! My family has had Absolute Music provide DJ service for our family reunions, as well.

Lisa D.

We book Absolute Music each year for our high school homecoming dance. They are hands down the best service around. The students have a blast and really enjoy how receptive the DJs have been to their requests.Last year, students wanted a dance-off, which they asked for in which the middle of the event. Shane went with the flow, and your would have thought that he had been planning it the whole time! Great experience; we will continue to use Absolute for years to come.

Jim H.

Great DJ, appreciate how community involved they are and willing to help us out at Jackson county Relay for Life!

Trisha M.

Jamie G.

Highly recommend Absolute Music/DJ. Extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. The vendor I had originally booked canceled last minute and Absolute Music was able to have one of their dj dues change their plans so they could DJ our wedding. Thanks Brad and Mary, we’ll never forget it!! 5 stars all around!!

Melissa G.

Denise did absolutely amazing! With covid we couldn't have all the people we wanted at our wedding but the dance floors was always occupied even with limited people!

Katie E.

Absolute Music is always our #1 pick! If you are looking for a professional, fun and down to earth DJ service, Absolute Music is the one! Thank you for all the years of excellent service including a wonderful listening experience for our guest.
