We'll let you in on a dirty secret: most wedding DJs don't actually understand the fundamentals of DJing. Let us share a private conversation we had with another wedding DJ company at a bridal fair ...

Us: "Ya, all of our DJs blend and mix music together."

Them: "Oh!" (Blank face). "I don't know a lot of wedding DJs that do that."

See, there's a ton of wedding DJs out there. It can be risky business figuring out which one to go with.

Imagine your DJ launches into the Chicken Dance while your guests side-eye each other. Or the cheesy mic banter, awkward transitions, and playlists that don’t feel like you. Your wedding deserves more than a Spotify shuffle with a microphone, right?

That’s why we exist.

We're not wedding DJs first. We're nightclub-tested DJs that have proven ourselves within the circle of other highly critical DJs. But we also have the finesse, professionalism, and adaptability needed for weddings, private events, and corporate gigs.

And the best thing about us?

There's no risk. All of our 90+ reviews are all 5-stars. We've won awards on The Knot and Wedding Wire. And we have plenty of sample mixes and videos for you to see and hear the actual proof.

Book a quick chat with us today. We'll explain our magic formula that keeps wedding planners and venues coming back.

What follows is a more sterile description that Wedding Wire says we should provide to help us show up in search results (lol).

Best decision ever

When planning my wedding, I knew finding the right DJ was going to be my hardest moment. I’m in that time of life where we have a few weddings a year, and you can almost certainly find me on the dance floor from the moment it opens to the last song, only leaving for bathroom breaks or to pull friends to the floor. Finding Alternative Wedding DJs was one of those serendipitous moments and I knew it was meant to be. From the website being transparent (let’s be real, a lot of vendors hide details and waste your time, but these guys don’t), to hearing samples I knew this was going to be the best decision for my wedding. Their vibe and energy is palpable, even from a digital screen. They worked secretly with my family to coordinate a surprise flashmob from my favorite movie and handled requests as if they had the ability to read my mind (yes, Rasputin Just Dance choreography came out). If you’re looking to have the best dance floor of your life, call Alternative Wedding DJs. You won’t regret it.

The best DJ’s in Nebraska!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brent and other DJs on their team on a number of occasions and I can confidently say they are the best DJ’s in town! They bring such an excellent energy to your event - from weddings, corporate events, birthday parties and more.

Their playlists are always on the spot and gets the energy going, and they tailor it to your music taste and vibe of the event. They know how and when to switch up the music for the more slow & intentional parts of your event, as well as the more high energy times that you can’t help but dance to.

If you’re looking for a DJ for any event, I can’t recommend them enough! They get the job done right, have decades of combined experience, and are a great price for the value they provide. Check them out!

Brings the vibes

If you’re looking for a DJ who doesn’t just play music but creates an experience, hire him. Truly — there is no one like him.

Brent brings a level of artistry, presence, and intuition that makes every event feel elevated and intentional. He reads the room with ease, curates the perfect energy, and blends tracks in a way that feels seamless and soul-shifting. It’s not just sound — it’s atmosphere, texture, and emotion.

What I love most about him is that he listens. He learns the vibe you’re trying to create and then somehow delivers something even better. Whether it’s an intimate gathering, a high-vibe celebration, or a full-scale event, he adapts effortlessly and sets the tone with professionalism and warmth.

He’s reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making every moment memorable. He isn’t just a DJ — he’s a storyteller, a vibe architect, and an essential piece of any unforgettable event.

I would hire him again in a heartbeat. If you want music that moves people and a DJ who elevates your entire experience, he is the one.

Absolutely killed it!!

Our DJ was absolutely amazing! She was professional, skilled, receptive and overall pleasant to work with. I really wanted a DJ who would do better than simply pressing play on a playlist, and Jackie went above and beyond in crafting the exact vibe that we wanted for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance party. COuldnt be happier with how our night went, and our DJ had a huge part in that. Thank you AWDJ and DJ Jackie!

If you want to party, THIS IS IT.

Brent did a stellar job starting the party and keeping it going! He did a phenomenal job with keeping people on the dance floor, balance of fast-pace and slow dancing songs, and keeping the vibes excellent! We had many guest ask who he was and that he was one of the best wedding DJ's they have ever experienced. I cannot recommend Alternative Wedding DJ enough! Simply, the best. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect Vibe All Night

Our DJ Brent was awesome! We gave him a pretty small playlist to work with, but he totally understood the vibe we were going for and filled in the rest perfectly. The music throughout the night was exactly what we wanted—fun, upbeat, and never cheesy.

He did a great job keeping everything on track and flowing smoothly, from the announcements to the transitions between events. The sound setup was great, and he really brought the energy to the dance floor—we had around 100 guests and it still felt like a full-on party. Such a fun night and we’re so glad we had him as part of it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
