    Alex Dingmann- 10/10!

    Alex did a phenomenal job dj’ing our wedding- he has high energy, eagerness to ensure that your vision comes to life, and strong organization that puts the natural stress of the day at ease. We would recommend him to anyone we know looking for a DJ! This was our second event that Alex was our DJ for and he killed it both times- on communication and responsiveness, energy, and skill!

    Wholeheartedly Recommend

    Alex from 3rd Shift was a phenomenonal vendor to work with. He took all of requests to heart and crafted a perfect soundtrack for our reception. He took the time to listen to our ideas and help them take shape, and he made sure all of the logistics went smoothly with announcements, speeches, etc. We had a small party, but the dance floor was full all night! Many of our guests commented on how awesome he was, and everyone had a great time. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend working with him!

    Amazing Experience

    My daughter hired 3rd Shift Djs for her wedding 5/16/25. Not only did Alex act as Dj he also was the officiant, provided sound and lighting and even had a 2 person instrumental perform for guests as well as play special selections for the bridal party and bride as they were escorted down the aisle. From the first phone call to the last dance Alex was amazing. So many people complimented us and inquired about his service further proving what a great choice we made. I highly recommend them for any celebration!

    Alex was incredible

    Alex was our wedding DJ and he did an excellent job managing the crowd and playing great music. He listened to our ideas but also provided some helpful feedback that made the night incredible! We left most of the decisions in his hands and he did an awesome job! You can definitely trust that he will listen to your ideas or if you let him do his own thing it will still be amazing!

    the best dj ever

    where to even begin. Alex is such an amazing dj. He truly knows what he is doing. I knew he was going to do such a great job after our first conversation, that i had referred him to two people before our wedding. He is so helpful and knows how to keep all the good vibes going.

    The party never stopped!!

    If you're looking for someone who will keep the party going all night, Alex is your guy!! Even weeks later, our wedding guests still cannot stop talking about how much fun they had on the dancefloor. Alex was so much fun to work with throughout the planning process. We talked through the vision we had for our day, the mood we were looking to curate in each distinct music timeframe (pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner + reception), and all of the specialty dances. We ended up changing our mind on our first dance song the week of the wedding and Alex had no trouble at all accommodating. He was also able to play a custom created song for our ceremony processional, which made the entire experience feel so personal and bespoke. We opted to do an anniversary dance to honor my new in-laws and they were completely surprised! Alex handled it like a dream. While we don't plan on getting married again anytime soon, he'll be our first call for our next anniversary party. Thank you for being such a special part of our day!!

    3rd Shift DJs's reply:

    Thank you so much Ashley! You guys had the picture perfect wedding and we were blessed to be a part of it. Your people were amazing, your food was great, the venue was perfect, and we closed it down with a banger too!

    I love all the really kind words, and we are ready for the next one together. Christmas Party? One year anniversary party?

    If you are looking for the best this is it!

    I could not recommend a company more for your special events. Alex not only was a phenomenal DJ, but he served as our officiant as well. As an officiant, he took the time to get to know my fiancé and I to make our ceremony personal and memorable. Multiple guests thought we had a personal relationship with how well he spoke to our relationship during the ceremony. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail and magic Alex brought to the biggest day of our lives. We will forever be grateful to 3rd Shift DJs for making our night a dream!

    Wedding reception was an amazing and unforgettable night. Alex from 3rd shift djs did a great job!!

    Alex was an amazing dj at our wedding. Very helpful with picking music. Really took control and worked great with the venue to make sure that everything went smoothly. The guests loved him, and everyone had a great time. He also let my daughter get behind the turntable and scratch... thank you so much, 3rd shift Djs!!

    3rd Shift DJs's reply:

    Anthony, I am so happy to hear that everyone had such an amazing time! We really worked hard to make sure that you had an amazing time from top to bottom. I’m glad that everyone loved the Photo Booth and that your little girl got to have some fun getting behind the decks as well. You guys are the best!

    Attentive, professional & knowledgeable

    We used 3rd shift dj for our wedding. Alex and Joe were great to work with through the whole planning process to the actual party. They helped us to create a timeline for the day and provided services for our ceremony through the reception. They kept everyone engaged and we all had a blast. Super professional, knowledgeable and fun!

    Amazing DJ Experience!

    Wow! Working with 3rd Shit DJs was a dream! We decided last minute to hire a DJ, and thankfully, they happened to have an opening for our date. I worked with Alex on all the planning details. He was very personable, yet professional, and asked all the right questions to understand what we wanted for our reception and give suggestions. Cal was our day-of DJ, and he was fantastic! He kept the flow of the evening going, played great music during social hour and dinner, and honestly I have never seen a dance floor so consistently full of people at another wedding! Cal knew what songs to play and when, in order to keep guests engaged. The sound and lighting equipment was great! Cal made sure everything was going the way we hoped, and I felt so at ease knowing all the transitions throughout the night were taken care of. I would absolutely recommend 3rd Shift DJs to anyone looking for a DJ for their event! We are so thankful to have found Alex and Cal and to have worked with them for our wedding. Book now!

    3rd Shift DJs's reply:

    Thank you so much Leah! I can’t tell you enough how much this truly warms my heart to hear this. This is our ultimate goal, to give you the best party and day of your life. Cal is amazing! What a guy! I hope this is not only last party together? Christmas party perhaps???

    Hire him! You will not be disappointed!

    Alex did our wedding on 9/22 and OMG HIRE HIM! the music was great for all ages and I don’t think there was a moment where people were not on the dance floor. We had a small issue with the venues electric problem and he handled it completely without stressing me and my now new husband out. Not only was the music great but he hyped up wedding party before their entrances and would keep the party alive through his commentary all night. If I could give 10 stars out of 5 then I totally would he is THE BEST and also so easy to talk to. So many people came up to us and told us he was so great and I could not agree more.

    3rd Shift DJs's reply:

    Thanks so much Cassidy!!!

    I am so happy for you, Nick and your families. Your people are one fantastic party. We all worked well with each other. This literally warms my heart to hear how much you guys loved the party. That’s just like our saying at 3rd Shift DJs… Every Wedding is a Super Bowl!

    Great Crew and Great time

    Alex and his crew did a SUPERB job at our venue at the Copper Fox in Geneva. They worked around the setup and were complimented by everyone of our patrons for the Photo Booth and overall performance.

    What an awesome wedding day! We are so happy for both you and Lindsey. We had a blast with your people and I'm glad they had a blast too. Let's setup the next party!

    Sweet 16!!

    Alex was fantastic! It’s hard to engage teens now a days! He did great. Song selection was on point, his set up with his lights were a huge hit as well. I definitely recommend using 3rd shift DJs for your next event/party!!

    3rd Shift DJs's reply:

    That's what I'm talking about! Even the kids had a blast. Even the one who was starting his rap career that night.

    Knew right away he was the right fit!

    I was unsure how to go about hiring a DJ or if we needed one, and didn't know where to start. I sent Alex from 3rd Shift a message on here, not expecting to totally change my mind about having a great DJ at our wedding. He totally understood our vision for our ceremony and reception, and worked with my fiancé and I to plan things we would have never thought of. It's been super fun to work with him so far and have full confidence in how our wedding day will go because of him!!
