The greatest parties all have one thing in common – an awesome playlist. Regardless of who is on the guest list, what the meal is, or how your centerpieces were designed, a great party must have a great soundtrack to set the mood. Thankfully, the Complete Weddings + Events team knows a great Disc Jockey when we hear one, which is why we know the importance of connecting our couples with a Des Moines DJ they’ll love. When guests are dancing, socializing, and enjoying the music, you know your event is a success!

Both were flexible and great helping with small changes throughout the night. Darcy did a great job with timing the songs and ensuring they were right and watching the dance floor all night. I CANNOT say enough good things about Jen as a person and helping me on my big day, and especially here photographer style and skills. She knew exactly what style of photos I was wanting and we are VERY happy with the photo sneak peaks we have received so far.

He even went through the buffet line for me (the Bride) and brought my food to the table, so that I didn’t have to worry about getting food on my dress. And he also let us do a little bit of karaoke. And we loved it. I’d recommend Trey 10/10 times. Everything was perfect, start to finish, with Complete Weddings DJ service!

I am a PROUD Iowa State University graduate with a BS in Horticultural Sciences. I moved to Waukee after graduating in 2018 and have loved living there ever since! I have two beautiful fur babies, Jace and Clover. Jace is a Husky/Australian Cattle Dog mix and Clover is a Border Collie/Australian Shepard mix. We all enjoy spending our free time exploring our favorite western states (Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, and Montana) and hanging out with friends! I have been DJing since my college days and have loved joining the team here at Complete. I look forward to helping others turn up and celebrate their big days! I currently work for Corteva Agriscience as a research assistant and I own my own small business that does landscape design, floral services, house plant sales, interior plantscapes, and horticultural advice!
Both our DJ and photographer were from Complete Weddings and they were astounding!! Both were so professional and in touch with our expectations for the evening. I could not have been happier with either of them.

Nick was great! He utilized the list of songs we suggested, and had great transitions between songs. We also loved that he didn't play the whole entire song.

You’ll make many decisions when planning your event, but few are as important as which event DJ in Des Moines to hire. Clients come to us in search of the perfect special event DJ in Des Moines because we know the value of a great disc jockey. It’s why we make it our mission to find professionals who can set a mood and keep your guests entertained. The ideal DJ can identify the room’s mood and play tunes to break guests out of their shells. This is a true talent – not just anyone can elevate a party.
Your party should be one-of-a-kind, so you should also consider what planning decisions you want to make to fulfill your unique needs. Good DJs know the soundtrack for a wedding will sound different than the playlist at a corporate event, so it’s smart to ask the all events DJ in Des Moines you plan to hire about their goals and strategies for your party. Here are some other points to consider when chatting with potential hires:
Consider the mood you’re hoping to achieve for your event. Maybe you’re imagining a chic affair where music adds to the scene rather than steals the focus – a corporate events DJ in Des Moines can master this challenge with ease. Perhaps you’re hoping to dance the night away and need infectious tunes to get folks out of their chairs. A wedding and event DJ in Des Moines will know exactly the right music to play. Whatever you’re imagining, it’s a good idea to ask contenders how they’ll set the mood.
You wouldn’t go to a men’s barber for an eyebrow wax – why hire a DJ who has never worked your type of event before? These professionals are talented, but their background and experience level will directly influence your party’s vibe. When considering different Des Moines DJs for your event, ask about their comfort level with your preferred music style. Throw in a few questions about common challenges and how they would handle them, too.
Song requests are a lot of fun for guests, but they can inadvertently throw off the mood. It can be surprisingly jolting to have your Top 40 tunes interrupted by a throwback jazz song requested by your uncle. Ask your DJ prospects about their policy on song requests and make sure it aligns with your vision. It’s also a good idea to give them a list of songs you absolutely don’t want to hear at your event, and any special songs you need played before the party ends.
Some large DJ companies will send out an entirely different person to work your event than the DJ you originally interviewed. Other times, they’ll send out a small team of people to work your party. When you’re discussing your options, make sure you understand exactly who to expect and when to expect them. Also, be sure to ask about what safety nets are in place if your DJ suddenly can’t make your party.
DJ equipment doesn’t have to be bulky, but it can be – especially if they plan to bring lights, speakers, and other staging tools. Ask about the technical needs of your Des Moines DJ and be sure you have enough square footage allotted for their setup. While you’re at it, ask about the number of electrical outlets they’ll need access to, too. The last thing you want is to be scrambling for extension cords on the day of your party!
Our Des Moines DJs are incomparable. They have the experience, instincts, and charisma necessary to make your event one for the record books. The best part? When you work with the Complete Weddings + Events team, you’ll be free to enjoy your party while leaving the details to us! We offer a large variety of setup options, playlists, and other plans to ensure your event is in great hands. Pass the reins to us and get ready to celebrate!
