Wedding Reception Sept 2019

Seth was absolutely great! Rain came our way and we did not have sides to our tent. Seth came to the rescue, made a call, and had them DELIVERED! He made our reception feel so upbeat everyone had a lot of fun!! We have received numerous comments on what a great DJ we had! I would HIGHLY recommend Seth to anyone needing a DJ for any event. Thank you again Seth! You're the best! Dianne and Donnie

Seth made the party! From start to finish he was nothing but professional, fun, engaging. The planning steps were simple, well laid out. He met with the bride and groom to make sure the event was personal and reflected their style. Communication was second to none.
Reception night, he took over per the bride and groom's schedule and made the magic happen. I felt instant relief knowing I got to relax and just enjoy as mother of the bride. He handled everything. We had many couples in their 80s (some run in quite wealthy circles). ALL of them.independently said this reception was THE BEST they had ever attended. Seth was a key part of that! The younger crowd? They were too busy dancing their hearts out to voice an opinion! The bride and groom got their dream party!
Professional, well organized, personable, fun and engaging. Worth more than he charges! I would book him for every event where I needed a DJ. Second to none!
Will send photos soon.

Seth was the DJ for my July 22nd wedding. I can not express how AWESOME he is! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I cannot say enough wonderful things about black tie beats. He helped to make our wedding day even more amazing. He is so detailed orientated and wants to be involved in every moment of your wedding day. The dance floor at our wedding was PACKED the entire night! He played such a great selection of songs and kept every age group out dancing! Stop searching for a DJ, book black tie beats!!!!

I highly recommend Black Tie Beats! Seth was so accommodating of me and my big ideas. Well worth every penny and then some. Most weddings I have been to, the DJ is very difficult to hear/understand among the other noise, but that was so not the case with him. And...he was by far the most fun, energetic, humorous DJ I have ever met! He will make everybody feel great and have a wonderful time!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. Seth was th DJ at our wedding on July 2nd, and he exceeded our highest expectations. He was outstanding throughout the planning process, and was even better at our reception. He was very easy to get ahold of, and very responsive to email. When we met with him it was fun! It was never a boring meeting. He helped us come up with ideas to make our wedding fun and memorable. When it came to the night of the wedding he totally took charge so we didn't have to think about anything- we were truly able to enjoy our wedding reception. Our bridal party introductions were fantastic, and we did a kissing bowl (Seth's idea) which was a huge hit and so much fun! We also did a choreographed bridal party dance that was a surprise to our guests, as it went off without a hitch, thanks to Seth! After our choreographed dance (which was before the dancing started), the dance floor was filled the entire rest of the night. In fact, people started chanting "ONE MORE SONG" once the last song played. He created such a fun environment that he left people wanting more (which is exactly what we wanted). It was such a magical night, and we have Seth to thank for that. I am still getting comments from wedding guests about how awesome and fun our DJ was. I highly recommend him to everyone needing a DJ!

I absolutely loved our DJ Seth! He was very organized and took on a lot of responsibilities which took a lot of stress off the me and my husband! The most important part was he did his job & did it well. He had people dancing all night & they didn't want any of it to end! He was very easy to work with and so professional! He knows what he is doing and he knows how to entertain. I wont forget that night because of how special he helped make it!

Seth was the DJ for our July 3rd wedding. Knowing Seth previously from his role DJing elsewhere, we were very excited to get him involved in our wedding planning process. Seth is so much more than your typical DJ. He did everything a DJ should do, but he didn't stop there. Sure, he took our song requests and planned out the timeline of our reception, but he did so much more than that. He was our most thorough vendor by far through our multiple pre-wedding meetings. He even stepped in as a wedding planner at times. On our wedding night, Seth reached out to myself and my husband to ensure everything was perfect. Our friends and family were extremely impressed with Seth and thought he did an outstanding job. A wedding DJ is a big deal...and I would 100% recommend Seth & Black Tie Beats.

Seth was absolutely amazing! Everything he did for us leading up to our wedding and on the wedding day was above and beyond our expectations. He is great to work with and offers unique services that created the best memories! I recorded a message for my dad that was mixed in with the father daughter dance as a surprise for my dad. The look on my dad's face was priceless! From the time we met him at a bridal show, I knew we made the right decision. I can't say enough about how much we loved using Black Tie Beats for our wedding!

I initially used this website to narrow down a list of DJ's for the Des Moines area to use for our wedding. My wife and I met with about 4 of them. From the get-go, Seth (Black Tie Beats) stood out to the both of us for many reasons. Seth was professional, courteous, informative, and detailed with our first meeting. He offered services that went above and beyond what we had expected out of a DJ. We both knew after the meeting he would be our guy. We loved that he offered an online website that was very detailed in the order of events, as well as listing out songs we wanted and didn't want to play. We leaned on the website as a form of checks and balances to make sure we had our duties crossed off the checklist as wedding day approached. We also used uplighting and the monogram services he offers at very reasonable rates. When the wedding day arrived, Seth was on time, dressed professionally, and ready to deliver. From our unique entrance, scavenger hunt game, speeches, cake cutting, and dancing, Seth delivered. We had many guests inform us that our DJ was very on top of things, highly entertaining, and that was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. I would highly recommend Seth to anyone! My only issue was the night went way too fast!
