Doesn't get any better than Marquee Events!

We were absolutely thrilled to have Tyson as our DJ! From start to finish, he was incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring that everything was exactly how we imagined. There were so many thoughtful touches he added that I never would have thought of, which made a world of difference in the overall experience.

The audio quality on our wedding day was outstanding; every song sounded fantastic, and the flow of the reception was seamless. He expertly navigated transitions and kept the energy up, making sure every moment felt connected and enjoyable.

I genuinely believe he elevated our guests' experience, keeping everyone engaged and having a great time. His professionalism and class truly set him apart as a high-end vendor. If you’re planning a wedding in Iowa, you absolutely need to hire him! Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

Exactly what we wanted

Tyson is so talented at what he does and gave us the best experience at our wedding. He met with us via zoom and in person to go over details to make sure everything turned out the way we wanted. He is very detail oriented so everything turned out perfect!

Amazing service. Tyson is great to work with and sets you up with everything you need to decide on for your big day. The app is so easy to use and was so helpful for organizing the music. He also has such fun add on's like cold sparks, CO2 machines and great uplighting. Highly recommend.

Marquee Events

Tyson was very easy to work with. He was able to set up our audio for our ceremony exactly how we wanted it to be. It was important for us to get to know our vendors and he made effortless. My husband and I enjoyed our DJ and would recommend him to all couples. His set up is absolutely beautiful and looked amazing in photos as well!

Great party!!

Tyson was so wonderful; from the initial meeting to wedding day, he paid close attention to detail and made sure to answer any of our questions thoroughly. His guidance was certainly appreciated when it came to choosing songs for our wedding. Tyson did our ceremony sound, as well as our reception. We added cold sparklers to our package and they were quite the surprise for our guests. His set up is exquisite and perfect for any location! We still receive compliments on how smoothly our ceremony flowed into cocktail hour then the reception, and how FUN our day was. Tyson absolutely knocked it out of the park and we cannot thank him enough for making our day a wonderful memory for not only us, but everyone that attended. We would absolutely book Tyson again, and recommend him to anyone who wants their wedding to be fun for people of all ages!

Marquee Events for our Spanish wedding

Tyson was incredible. He was professional in a way a lot of other DJs we met didn’t seem to be. I also loved that he is still a small company and the way he met with us and followed up frequently made us feel like we were important and that he was as excited for our wedding as we were. We also really appreciated his guidance regarding song choices and reception flow. He was able to blend my and my husband’s styles (I’m midwestern and my husband is Venezuelan) seamlessly and all our guests from around the country and world had only good things to say. We were also able to add in ceremony sound, and Tyson set up outside for our October wedding in Amana. It really was beautiful. Well worth the investment!

Easy and SO enjoyable to work with!!!

Working with Tyson made the process of finding/planning our music so easy!! He was so accommodating and made the day perfect for us! One of my main things I wanted on our big day was to have a packed dance floor and Tyson delivered just that. The floor was packed once the first song began until the last. We can not thank him enough for that!!

10/10 would recommend Tyson/Marquee Events!

Tyson with Marquee Events was so accommodating throughout our entire wedding planning experience. He was so easy to talk to, helpful and he truly wanted to bring our vision to life. An emcee and music are key components of your guests' experience and vital to moving your wedding night along. We trusted Tyson completely with those responsibilities. He was professional, warm, positive and a ton of fun! My husband and I, along with our family and friends, thoroughly enjoyed the entire reception, thanks to Tyson/Marquee Events. I also need to mention is modern, chic set up. Fit for any venue, Tyson ensures his set up isn't an eye sore, which I really appreciated!
