You've been to a wedding
with a bad DJ.
The dead dance floor. The Chicken Dance. The guy who won't stop talking on the mic.
You don't want that.
Take our 60-second quiz to find out if we're the right DJ for your wedding.
Good. You should be picky about this. The DJ is the last thing people remember about your wedding. If the food's bad, people forget. If the DJ's bad, that's the story they tell.
We're not "wedding DJs." We're nightclub DJs who do weddings really well. That means seamless mixing, zero cheese, and a dance floor that stays packed because we actually know how to read a room — not because we forced everyone into the Cha Cha Slide.
The quiz takes 60 seconds. It asks you the same questions we ask every couple in our first meeting. At the end, you'll know if we're the right fit — and if we are, you can book a call right there.

Choosing a wedding DJ is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your reception — and one of the hardest to get right. Most couples don't know what to look for beyond price and availability. The result? A DJ who plays the same tired playlist at every wedding, talks over the music, and empties the dance floor by 9pm.
Alternative Wedding DJs was created for couples who want something better. Our DJs come from the nightclub and music festival scene — they're trained performers who happen to DJ weddings, not the other way around. That means live mixing, real crowd reading, and a dance floor that stays packed because the music is genuinely good.
What Makes a Wedding DJ "Alternative"?
Traditional wedding DJs rely on pre-made playlists, line dances, and mic games to fill time. Alternative wedding DJs bring the skills of a nightclub DJ to the wedding setting: seamless transitions between songs, the ability to read a room and adjust in real time, and the taste to curate music that reflects who you actually are as a couple — not just what's on the "Top 100 Wedding Songs" list.
Our team includes DJs who have won Best DJ at the Omaha Entertainment Awards, produced festivals like Lincoln Calling, owned nightclubs, and held residencies across Nebraska and Wisconsin. They're the DJs your cool friend would side-eye you and say, "Oh, you got THAT DJ?"
Should You Take the Wedding DJ Quiz?
If you care about the music at your wedding — like, actually care about it — this quiz is for you. It takes about 60 seconds and asks you the same questions we ask every couple in our first discovery meeting: what you're afraid of, what you don't want to hear, how you want the DJ to handle the mic, what genres you're into, and what vibe you're going for. At the end, you get a personalized result that tells you whether we're the right fit, along with a real review from a past couple with similar taste.
We serve weddings in Omaha, Lincoln, Madison, and Milwaukee — plus surrounding areas in Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Whether you're planning a multicultural celebration, a country-meets-hip-hop barn party, or a classy downtown reception with a packed dance floor, our roster has a DJ who fits your style.
