Ben and Abraham were our wedding Djs. They were fantastic! Music for the ceremony was beautiful and they also had a great volume for our officiant. When it came to the reception we had a blast, I barely left the dance floor!

Seth Keene with PowerPlay DJ was an amazing DJ for our wedding at Lone Oak Farm in Ayr ND. He was very professional but also a lot of fun. He was excellent at always asking if the music is good or what could be changed. Seth was very receptive to impute and changes things immediately when needed. He had a lot of great song recommendations! The part I was most impressed by was he never let the party die or the dance get awkward like sometimes happens at weddings. There was always a group on the dance floor having a good time to the music he was playing. Even when a song came on that we didn’t know how to dance to, Seth would jump on the dance floor to lead us in the steps. Outstanding DJ and I would highly recommend PowerPlay DJ to anyone looking for an awesome wedding!

We hired PowerPlay DJ for our wedding this past weekend and I will say overall the experience was pretty good.
There were a few things we didn’t enjoy, such as: the dj playing to...
o many kids songs right away during the dance, and playing weird music during the dollar dance. The dj also played sinatra during dinner which we specifically requested NOT to be played during our pre-wedding meeting. He also smelt like weed and didn’t start playing the wedding parties reception grand entrance/walk-out music until the 2nd couple was already out and halfway to their table.
Response from Powerplay DJ
Thank you for taking the time to review our services. While we are glad to hear that your ...
overall wedding experience was positive, but we sincerely apologize that certain details were not up to our usual standard. Your feedback is very concerning and does not reflect our typical level of service. We are addressing these matters with our team right away to ensure they are not repeated. Thank you for helping us maintain our high standards, and we wish you both the very best.

! He met all of our goofy requests and made sure that we were having a great time by checking in with us throughout the ceremony. We had a fantastic wedding and reception thanks to him! We also utilized the Powerplay karaoke package at our wedding and it took our party to an extra level of fun! I highly recommend Powerplay DJ!

on go smoothly, from planning throughout the reception. His communication prior to and throughout the reception was excellent, I honestly have zero complaints.
We had so many great comments from our friends and family about how well he kept the crowd engaged. He was more than willing to play our crazy requests and kept the crowd going the entire time. Powerplay and Tyler exceeded our expectations for our reception, especially with COVID. We could not have asked for a better experience and are so happy we chose Powerplay!

I wasn’t sure about the DJ (Seth) that was chosen for my wedding because he had messed up the songs I wanted multiple times. Steve the manger, reassured me that he was in his top 5...
out of 20. Seth did a good job for my wedding ceremony but after it was a disaster. He was very unprofessional and I’m so embarrassed. He danced the whole time (not appropriately) and when asked to do his job, he took the mic and called out my guest. He forgot about the dollar dance, the newly wed game, bouquet toss, garder toss and also asked if he could take my bouquet home. Extremely unprofessional. The manager Tyler did listen to me when I called the next day, but still asked for full payment. He also told me the other manager Steve would call me and make it right, and he has still yet to answer my 3 emails or give me a call.
I trusted Powerplay Dj with their word, and I ended up humiliated on my wedding day. I will not be recommending them.
Response from Powerplay DJ
Hi Ashley,
We appreciate your feedback and always take it seriously. We have gone over al...
l of the music sheets, music logs, and spoke with Seth regarding your wedding night. What we are seeing is there are some discrepancies in your review. Seth has been with PowerPlay DJ for 4+ years and has DJ’d a lot of weddings with a lot of 5-star reviews. He does have a bit of a quirky personality, but that’s what makes him great.
Addressing some of your concerns, our DJ’s are on the dance floor a lot, leading dances and keeping the party motivated, especially now more than ever during a covid. We don’t want to play to an empty dance floor. As far as the dollar dance and bouquet toss, those were done according to the music log. Every dance we DJ we always log our music in case there is any concern, we can look at our laptops and music logs to address it. I am attaching a .pdf of the whole dance where I highlighted when during the night the dollar dance and bouquet toss was done. (Unfortunately the knot won't allow me to add .pdf's or .jpg's)
There was no garter toss done because in your music meeting before the wedding you and your fiancé had chosen not to do one. As far as the newlywed game that was not done either, like you had said because that is an add-on to the wedding which costs more money which you declined to do.
The guest that you referred to earlier, that was called out, was also highly intoxicated and multiple times throughout the night he tried to get onto our equipment to try and change/play music. We take requests throughout the whole night and encourage that, but we do not encourage anyone to use our equipment without our consent or oversight.
The emails you addressed; one was sent on Saturday the day of the wedding asking to make the payment. Sunday was the same asking to make the payment. Monday was asking us to call where Tyler did take the payment and you addressed the aforementioned review. Per our contract we do ask that payments are made no later than 48 hours prior to the wedding.
Based on our findings we are sorry that you feel you had such a negative experience with us and we will strive to do better as we try make everyone’s night special. We wish you and your husband nothing but the best for the future.

Powerplay did a great job communicating with me through the wedding planning process (which is SO important), I had a great meeting with our DJ before to get the logistics figured ...
out, and I felt really comfortable going into our day with our choice. If I had to share a complaint, I hand selected all of our music because we have a very particular taste in music and that's what I wanted at my wedding, but the DJ ignored my list and played what he wanted. We had a giant wedding so the dance floor was bound to be packed all night, and it was. But I think me and my guests would have enjoyed ourselves more had he paid more attention to my very well thought out playlist.

derful! I chose an instrumental song for our processional in the ceremony, but didn't like how one part sounded, so Eric went on to edit the song and play it on a loop to skip over that part. I was so appreciative of this and the time it took him to do that! At our reception, the DJs were amazing! They knew exactly what songs to play when to keep people on the dance floor all night long! I don't think there was one song where someone didn't dance to. I would highly recommend using Powerplay DJ for any event! :)

after the entire experience we could not have been happier.
Our DJ, Craig, did a great job during the preplanning phase and during our reception. After the preplanning phase we felt extremely pleased and comfortable that our reception experience would be amazing. Craig did not disappoint as he was very professional and organized during the entire reception. He helped guide us through everything and made sure everyone was having a good time on the dance floor. Also, the props for the kids were a big hit!
Highly recommend their services.

Thanks Tyler!

ut how fun the reception was. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is having fun and is getting involved. We also had Powerplay for our photo booth and I’m so glad we did! The book of photo strips of all the guests you get at the end of the night is such a fun keepsake. The night goes bye way to fast so being able to look back at all the fun photo strips and notes from guests is really special. Not only did they do a great job the night of but a great job maintaining communication before and after the wedding (which for a stressed bride is such a blessing!). I would highly recommend Powerplay for any event!

Response from Powerplay DJ
Hello, I can help explain what happened. Yes you did book Musicbox, however they moved to...
Wisconsin and contacted us to subcontract the wedding out as so they didn't have to drive 10 hours each way since we are based in town. According to Musicbox contract they say two DJ's, but we only need one to run a show.

When we decided to have a DJ, there was no doubt that we'd probably be going with PowerPlay. We still compared prices, but based on reviews, along with their price being comparable...
to others, it was an easy choice. My sister used them for her wedding as well, and had nothing bad to say. People have their favorite DJ's, but I honestly don't think they have a bad one there. Our DJ was Blake, and he did an awesome job. During our initial meeting with them, I brought an organized list of specific songs I wanted and a list of other songs I'd like to hear but I left it up to him to decide based on how the night went. Coming to the meeting organized made me very comfortable because it put us on the same page. He was totally "feeling the vibe" we wanted for the wedding based off our song choices, and we knew he'd be a great fit. The day of the wedding, we also had him come out and set up to help with the ceremony at our lake cabin. We had a keyboard player and two singers, but we had Blake come in order to have all the equipment we needed and to help with sound. At the reception, things went great. People LOVED the song choices and how he would just transition right into the next song. The dance floor was full all night and people are still telling us how awesome our dance was!
