    Highly recommended

    Puttin' on the Hitz was great -- Michael made sure to communicate with us when he needed too, kept track of all the details, played exactly the songs we wanted, rolled with some last-minute changes, and even made sure he got the names of the wedding party correct. He worked with our venue and made everything easy for us!

    Puttin' on the Hitz = Best DSM DJ!

    Michael Scott with Puttin' on the Hitz was the perfect choice to DJ our recent wedding. Michael is incredibly kind, responsive, and just all around great at what he does! He made sure to keep the dance floor full at all times, and our guests continue to rave about the music/fun atmosphere he provided. We also appreciated his willingness to accommodate special requests, even ones made last minute.

    We highly recommend Michael/Puttin' on the Hitz for your next event and can't thank him enough for the part he played in making our day so memorable!

    Best DJ in the Des Moines Metro!!!

    Michael Scott from Puttin' on the Hitz was such an amazing DJ for our wedding in West Des Moines. He was so easy to work with and make the night run seamlessly, he truly made the whole night run smoothly and followed our timeline helping to keep everything on schedule. He made the night so much fun by playing the perfect mix of music for our dance floor as well as providing some music during happy hour and dinner. Everything he did was exactly what we had hoped for for our wedding and the night wouldn't have been the same without him! I would recommend Puttin' on the Hitz to anyone, they were very responsive and great to work with!

    Responsive and Affordable Vendor

    Puttin' on the Hitz is a great vendor. They were punctual, got back to us consistently, and respected and worked around our budget and needs. The communication between us and our DJ was effective. We knew exactly what everything cost and the information sheet we filled out was easy to do. The process of choosing songs was pretty seamless. During the wedding, Michael was great at getting the guests to join in on the dancefloor. He also helped us a lot with the announcements, the ceremony music, and the shoe game. Overall, the experience was great and we highly recommend this business.

    Awesome Experience!

    Michael and Puttin' on the Hitz were great to work with! Our dance floor was full of guests all night and the music was perfect. What I loved most about working with Michael was the phone call after we already filled out the questionnaire on the website. It just made us feel like he really wanted to get to know our crowd and how to get them dancing all night! I would recommend Puttin' on the Hitz to every bride!

    Would definitely recommend!

    Puttin’ on the Hitz did a fantastic job at our wedding! Prior to the wedding, Michael made sure to ask the necessary questions and had great communication so we knew that we were taken care of. His set up was very professional and it’s clear that he takes pride in what he does. Michael made the atmosphere upbeat and fun and kept us on schedule. 10/10 would recommend!

    Amazing!

    Great company! We hired them 2 years in advance and they never lost our reservation like some venues. He did a phone call with us before the big day to pick our brain about music choices. We totally forgot about some key aspects of the day that needed music and not only did he remind us but he offered suggestions. Very friendly and so easy to work with. An absolute amazing experience. Would hire him again for any event and recommend him to others

    A Great Time

    Michael was a blast to work with and our families had no problem interacting with him as well! He was welcoming, friendly, and very easy to approach at any time. He was on time and stayed a little later to help keep the party going. Much appreciated and, while we won’t be doing another wedding (hopefully ever again), we would highly recommend his service!

    Keep the Party Going with Michael!

    Michael from Puttin' on the Hitz was wonderful and we would recommend him to anyone! He did a great job keeping guests on the dance floor ALL night. Michael was also great to work with throughout the process from booking to going over details and the day of. We had a couple specific announcements (parking, dessert service, etc) that we asked him to make and he did so timely and thoughtfully to keep guests informed and having fun! In my opinion, who you choose for your DJ will set the tone of your reception and we would choose him again in a heartbeat!

    Best DJ around!

    Puttin’ on the Hitz is the best DJ!! They did my sisters wedding 10 years ago and did fantastic! We’d dreamed of having them do my wedding as well ever since then. I just got married May 2022 and they did not disappoint! The dance floor was bumping all night and created such a good atmosphere!

    Highly highly recommend

    This DJ was used at a friend's wedding ~10 years ago and we were thrilled to see that he's still in business. We had to postpone our wedding once due to COVID restrictions and Michael from Puttin on the Hitz stayed with us through all the chaos of rescheduling. His communication with us was always proactive and timely and straightforward. He never had me worrying about what to expect. The tunes he played were FANTASTIC, and exactly what we wanted. He was also super flexible when I asked him at the last minute to do something extra (provide sound for the outdoor ceremony when our other sound system fell through). He was so flexible and provided us with everything...

    Awesome job by Michael & Puttin' on the Hitz!

    Michael did an excellent job. The background music for arrival/dinner was at an appropriate volume for the venue. His ability to communicate with us regarding coordination and keep the night moving along was great. He did an awesome job keeping everyone engaged. Finally, Michael's personality and approach are something I have not seen much. You can definitely tell he enjoys putting on a party, dancing to the music, and having a good time. I highly recommend Puttin' on the Hitz and will have them in my back pocket for future events!

    The Best in the Business

    Puttin' on the Hitz was the best choice we made for our wedding! We have a family of dancers so this decision was important, and they made sure everyone was dancing the whole night! They also provided guidance for us leading up to the night that was so helpful. Book them! You won't regret it!

    Flexible & Amazing

    Michael Scott with Puttin' on the Hitz was AMAZING to work with. 2 weeks before the wedding, we had a phone call meeting to plan out what we were expecting from him as a DJ and made plans on how the night would go. The night of the wedding, we changed just about everything that we had planned out and Michael was incredible and flexible through it all. So glad we chose them as the DJ for our special day! So many compliments on their services!

    Great Service!

    Michael was the best we could ask for. Simply put, he helped make our wedding something truly special and made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. He bought into the atmosphere we were aiming for and really helped get our guests to that level where they just wanted to let loose and enjoy themselves. Also he was great at picking the right songs at the right moment and didn't hesitate to play any of our suggestions!

    the BEST Djs!

    We are so happy we chose Puttin on the Hitz to DJ our wedding. We were assigned with Josh and we got so many compliments on the music and how packed the dance floor was all night! We couldn't have asked for anything better! Josh was so much fun (every once and while I would look around and see him dancing with the guests which was awesome to us!) and professional at all times!
    They were extremely accomodating when I made last minute changes to my services and needed them to play our ceremony music and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined!

    Great DJ!!

    Ryan was a fantastic DJ at our wedding! He kept the flow of the reception going, and played any requests our guests had (as long as they weren't on the Do Not Play list)! We recommend Puttin' on the Hitz to anyone who is looking for a DJ for their wedding event!

    Book them now!

    Puttin' on the Hitz did an amazing job at our wedding. We appreciated the online forms as well as speaking in person. We had a very specific type of DJ in mind (someone in the background rather than forefront), and Puttin' on the Hitz delivered.
