Clife DJ Company

We used for DJ Clife for our wedding 09/2023 and couldn't be happier! When looking for wedding DJs it can be tough to know what you're getting for your money. At first I was cautious as he is on the higher end of price ranges but noticed the higher ratings to match. I would say without a doubt DJ Clife Company was a perfect choice for us! We had several zoom meetings to discuss the vibe and creative view of our day and then focusing more on logistics and specifics for the night.

Our wedding had some specific scheduling needs including a 15 minute dance session at the beginning of the reception, 2 dance numbers, choregraphed formal dances and other surprises. Clife Estores delivered on every detail that was needed from the beginning of the day until the end.

Using the "Vibo" app helped us drop in songs and add information for our schedule to keep our conversations focused on what was needed - we enjoyed this process. Leading up to the wedding he was quick to respond to e-mails/texts with last minute questions or changed plans.

My main concern was finding a DJ who truly mixed the music like you would hear in a club/party atmosphere with the best 2-3 minutes of the song played and rolling right into the next song. I asked for a constant variety of music genres so it didn't fall into that typical wedding format.

Clife delivered some of the best music mixes I've ever heard! All of my guests commented on how great the music was and everyone from people who love to dance to those just watching all said how they really felt the party vibe. A couple commented that they planned to leave when the music slowed down and it never did so they stayed all night! He truly set the atmosphere in a positive direction and we had the best night of our lives!

If you are unsure of the cost I can assure you he is worth the expense and truly created a great atmosphere for everyone!

A few add-ons we used with DJ Clife:

Room Uplighting, 4 moving spotlights and 2 sparklers - all enhanced the night!

For anyone who has a lot of dancers in their guest list I would suggest looking into the LED dance floor with "Unique Events" in Cedar Rapids, IA. Pricey, but the DJ and dance floor were the most talked about from our guests.

From start to finish Clife and his team were some of the best people that we had the pleasure of working with. The line of communication was always open when we needed anything or had any new ideas. They absolutely exceeded our expectations of what we were looking for in a DJ. DJ Clife was worth every single penny we paid and then some! We requested 2 sparklers and the foam glow sticks. Clife brought 4 sparklers, a CO2 cannon and uplighting all over our venue. He was the life of the party! We had so much fun with him and our guests! If we were to do it again, Clife would be my first phone call.

DJ Clife is the best!! He just helped us with our wedding and was amazing to work with! He knows so much about curating the right energy and creating an event that keeps people engaged and excited. Our guests absolutely loved him! Our shuttle bus was overflowing at the end of the night because so many people stayed. We loved how the songs flowed and how he incorporated our song preferences. The sound system was amazing too! He was able to make 3+ hours of dancing never feel boring or repetitive. Different moments were introduced to keep the night fresh! Leading up to the wedding he was so thoughtful and truly got to know us and what we were looking for in an event. I would 1000% recommend.

We had DJ Clife and team for our New Year's Eve wedding and couldn't have been more happy with our choice. Clife provides outstanding preparation with attention to detail that ensures the entertainment and production for your day are exactly what YOU are looking for! To give a little insight on his process - we had multiple zoom meetings to go over the schedule of events and discuss details (what type of music you'd like, entrances, lighting, speeches, etc.). It's truly impressive how Clife is able to take what we discuss in those meetings and bring your dream to life. Everything flowed perfectly and really fit our vision.

Some additional features we utilized that Clife offers included the Saxophone player, 360 photo booth, and videographer. One especially cool and unique feature the videographer offers was a same day professionally edited video that we were able to watch alongside our wedding guests later in the night. Very impressive turn around time to put that together and it was super well done!

If you are looking for enhanced production value and someone to entertain your guests in a way that uniquely fits your vibe, Clife and his team are an 11/10 recommendation.. Extremely worth it!

We HIGHLY recommend DJ Russ through Clife DJ Company! Our entire experience—with both the company and DJ Russ himself—was exceptional from start to finish. They were professional, incredibly attentive to detail, and truly committed to making our night perfect. The communication leading up to our wedding was phenomenal. They kept us organized, informed, and right on track leading up to our planning meeting about a month before the event.

DJ Russ listened to every request, played all of our “must-play” songs, and kept the energy exactly where we wanted it. We had a few weather-related hiccups on our wedding day, but he worked seamlessly with our wedding planner and adapted on the fly to ensure everything still ran smoothly. He was a fantastic MC for the cake cutting, first dances, and reception—and then absolutely crushed it during the dance party. He read the room perfectly and knew exactly when to mix things up to keep the crowd going all night long. We received so many compliments from guests saying things like, “Best wedding DJ I’ve ever heard!” and “He has unreal energy, where did you find him?!”

I cannot recommend DJ Russ at Clife DJ Company enough! He truly made the ending our wedding night perfect and a night we, and our family and friends, will never forget. 10/10 experience!!!

My wife and I contracted Clife DJ Co. (specifically we worked with DJ Erin Brennecke) and we couldn't have asked for a better time. DJ Erin rocked it. She helped cultivate a beautiful night for Liz and I and we could not be anymore thankful for the awesome job you did. Things went incredibly smooth and at no point did we feel any stress. She was adaptable and made changes on the fly that seemed effortless. From the stance of our guests, Erin killed it from the dance perspective. Everyone we have talked to thought it was an absolute banger of a party. When the lights came down, the glow sticks out, and music vibed in, it was awesome. Once again, bravo and many thanks. My wife and I gained a core memory and you were pivotal in its creation.

I wanted to take a moment to tell you how impressed we all were with you at my son Lee and his bride Bailey's wedding reception on Saturday at Terry Trueblood. Your set-up was professional and classy and made a great first impression. The way you presented yourself and led the evening as MC was fun, joyful, and done with class and expertise. Blending the slide presentation and videos into the evening speeches and dance was great, and as a career high school and college band director, I really appreciated the quality of your equipment and how the volume was perfect for the dance floor and still allowed for conversations at the tables. As you very well know, the DJ has a huge impact on how well the evening goes, and we were thrilled with how everything went and greatly appreciated your contribution to making it all perfect!

With appreciation,

Steve, father of the groom

We had the absolute best experience with Clife DJ Company for our wedding—DJ Russ was amazing! From start to finish, the dance floor was packed and the energy was nonstop. I barely left the dance floor all night because it was just that fun! So many of our guests said it felt like a full-on dance party.
Leading up to the wedding, the entire process was smooth and enjoyable. We had multiple calls with both Clife and DJ Russ, and they were always available for anything we needed. Their communication was top-notch, which made us feel completely confident that everything would go perfectly—and it did! We also loved using their app to organize our song choices for each part of the day. It was super easy to use and made the planning process simple and stress-free.
One of the highlights was the custom mashup DJ Russ created for my father/daughter dance—it was absolutely incredible and exactly what I had envisioned. So much fun!
We can’t thank Clife DJ Company and DJ Russ enough. We would 100% recommend them to anyone. We truly wish we could relive the day over and over again!

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Clife as our wedding DJ, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! From our very first consultation, Clife made it very clear that he was not the type of DJ to just show up and play a generic playlist. He took the time to get to know us, hear our story, and host an event unique to the two of us.

DJ Clife was able to take our music preferences and keep the crowd on the dance floor all night long. He provided us with an easy to use app to help us with the timeline, allowing for the day to flow smoothly with the perfect song for each special moment.

Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our choice for our wedding DJ. Clife was truly the life of the party and he went above and beyond anything we could have expected. If I could give any advice to newly engaged couples it would be to invest in your DJ and book with Clife DJ company!!

Brian, with Clife DJ Co, was an absolute rockstar! He adjusted the music according to the crowd and saved all of our preferred songs for when my husband and I were on the dance floor, so we didn’t miss our favorite songs. My husband cannot stop talking about how impressed he was with Brian, and this is coming from the man who did not want to hire a DJ at all! We are so grateful for Brian being a part of making our day perfect.
