Rios Mios Events

. 

We found rios through the knot wedding planning website and from the first conversation I knew it was the right vendor for us. Our DJ was fantastic, really got the crowd moving, and blended into our event as if he was a close friend. He was so popular that he ended up booking not only my sisters upcoming wedding but even one of our guests found him at the end of the night! He is like a chameleon, he will be whatever vibe you guys are looking for. Highly highly recommend! They offered uplighting too which was awesome and made the photos even cooler. 

ented on how fun it was! Could not recommend Rios Mios enough

e floor all night and made sure our wedding was a fun and memorable night! He helped us make a timeline for the night which went so smooth and was less stress for us! Everything flowed so smoothly and he truly helped make our wedding the best night of our lives! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a fun DJ who knows how to keep the party going!

floor, and did such a great job reading the crowd and knowing exactly what to play, along with taking requests. She worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator to announce everything. Derek was professional, easy to work with, responsive, and made the entire process so stress-free. He took initiative to schedule phone calls, which took a lot of stress off of me, as the bride. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ to celebrate such an important day with us. If you’re looking for someone who will keep your wedding FUN and your dance floor packed, we highly recommend!

t play/do not play lists perfectly!! We got so many compliments on our dj!! We would recommend to anyone!!

special parts of our entire day was having the DJ play violin while I walked down the aisle. It was absolutely beautiful and something I will remember forever. The reception was just as amazing. He kept everything moving, kept the energy up, read the room perfectly, and made sure everyone had a great time. I know Derek, the owner, personally, which made me feel even more confident choosing his company for such an important day. Even though I didn’t personally know our DJ beforehand, he was incredible and made the entire experience feel easy and special. You can tell Derek has built a company that truly cares about the people they work with and the experience they provide. We are so thankful they were part of our wedding day and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ company for their wedding or event.

eeded. Calm for us, hype for the crowd, professional throughout!

endly, maintained the timeline, played some great music, and kept the party going! 

my husband’s and I type of music so he knew what to play and made sure song flowed into the next. I got a lot of compliments on our music. I would hire them again! 

ything we wanted and helped bring our vision to life. His biggest talent, though, is reading the crowd. He always knew exactly what song to play next to keep people on the dance floor, and somehow it stayed packed all night long! The energy never dropped, and everyone had the best time. We’re so grateful for everything he did to make our reception so much fun. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your day and knows how to keep the party going, we can’t recommend him enough!

o the front of church. Emotions and nerves were very high but it was very special. We also have a few key memories from the dance floor. At 8:00 all the groomsmen and ushers went "vest only" and DJ wrinkle joined us! He is awesome. I also requested two Nickleback songs and he played them back to back and the dance floor erupted "Burn it to the ground" and "Rockstar" our dance floor was electric from start to finish and we couldnt thank DJ Wrinkle enough for fitting our style of music it was everything we have dreamed of

ceremony/processional music, and kept the dance floor going afterwards! 

e played something for everyone! The dance floor was packed. 10/10

g of events that take place during the reception and would give great input, but ultimately let us decide how we wanted to use our time to celebrate. He also played a lot of songs friends/family requested, as well as joined them on the dance floor for line dancing ! If you’re looking for someone who’s fun and energetic— look no further, Rios Mios is the DJ for you ! 

kept the energy up even when there were only a few of us left at the end of the night! not a second went by where we werent met with amazing music! the ceremony was absolutely wonderful too!! (: 

ft relaxing music as the guests arrived and enjoying happy hour. Then, he did a wonderful job introducing the bridal party.  He spoke clearly and pronounced everyone’s name correctly…. not an easy task! Before dinner, Derek dismissed tables to eat and interacted with the guests….discussing music genres and making everyone feel welcome. After dinner, he guided the speeches and toasts, which allowed the bridal party to share personal stories. After the speeches, Derek flawlessly moved into first dances….which were not too long and not too short. Just right! To begin the dance Derek smoothly invited all of guests to the dance floor by inviting all married couples to join in with the bride and groom.  It was a wonderful to see so many couples, all ages dancing. Of course, as the night went on, there was lots of dancing.   Derek’s choice of music appealed to all ages.  I have never seen so much dancing and joy! Here are a few comments I received from guests….. Where did you find the DJ?  He is incredible. We are from St. Louis and we have never seen such professionalism.  I loved how the DJ would interact with the crowd. The volume was just right…we were able to stay and visit while the young people danced.  Usually we leave because it’s too loud. I wish I would have hired Derek for my Wedding reception! Five Plus STARS for Derek Rios! He made our wedding reception AMAZING!

s strange with the way it all transpired, especially considering the rave reviews. disappointed for sure. 

. It was perfectly imperfect. But reception wise it was everyone dancing and having a great time and running around and the end of the night where people were wanting to stay!!

preciated by me, the bride, as well as my groom, bridal party, and guests. He was able to pump up the party and keep the attention of the room as if it was his job (lol). People were constantly complimenting him to me and saying they wished he had been around when they got married. Communication leading up to the day was easy and seamless. He talks to you like he’s known you for years and answers any questions you have as soon as you need them answered. He did send us a questionnaire about the music vibes we were looking for, but as he said, he “has the general Midwest wedding music vibes down to a T,” and he was absolutely correct. Our reception, when it came down to it, was genuinely fun.  I also wouldn’t limit Derek to just Midwest weddings either. He seems extremely adaptable and would thrive in a multitude of situations thrown at him. I had a couple of very specific tempo and volume change requests to songs during our ceremony that he was able to accommodate seamlessly.  I’ve attended and been a part of a lot of professional music and large-scale events, and I was very impressed with both his sound equipment and his performance. It was a very windy day during our ceremony, and the microphone audio still came through clear despite the large gusts fighting against us.  I would absolutely recommend Derek and his team for any wedding or large event you’re hosting. You won’t regret it. P.S. Get the extra lighting they offer and skip the Styrofoam glow stick trend. It was a fun addition.

ere answered and that we would have nothing to worry about on our big day!  For our reception we had Quinn and he was the best! His energy matched us so well and he knew exactly what we were looking for throughout the night. Especially when I told him I wanted the dance floor to be like a college rave. He immediately said “I got you” with a huge smile and beyond delivered! 

g.

like, and Quinn created the perfect night between ceremony, to cocktail hour to reception. He kept checking in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was on track and exactly as we envisioned. 

big day, he brought incredible energy and truly helped set the tone for the entire night. He knew exactly how to read the room and kept the dance floor busy. He also did an amazing job as our emcee, keeping everything flowing smoothly and making sure guests knew what was happening without it ever feeling forced. Everything felt seamless, and we were able to just enjoy the moment. Overall, 10/10 service—we’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to make their event unforgettable.

reat, the energy stayed high all night, and our guests had an amazing time. Highly recommend him for any wedding or event!

e! 

ay that made me feel comfortable all the way around.
