Reviews for Jukebox Express
GUEST




Jukebox Express did an excellent job with our wedding! We had them play the ceremony music at a non-traditional location, they came with their own portable set up for an outdoor location. They were on time, dressed professionally and very friendly to work with. They also did our cocktail hour, dinner and reception music for the evening. It was clear that an experienced DJ provider makes a big difference. The equipment they brought was high quality, we had no glitches with sound and the lighting set up was very impressive. We added the backlighting to make the large room we rented feel more cozy and it did just that. The Dj we worked with was very accommodating and checked in with me throughout the night to ensure we were happy. Going with Jukebox was one of the best decisions we made and we'd happily recommend them to others!
GUEST




Jim was awesome to work with. He was very prompt in his responses and made sure we had everything just as we wanted it. Bob was our DJ and was great as well.
GUEST




The DJ really worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly the night of the wedding. He helped make sure the toasts, first dance, and anniversary dance were performed according to schedule. They also played the right songs at the right times to get more people on the dance floor. It was a great experience.
GUEST




My husband and I so appreciated how high of a standard Jukebox Express holds themselves to. We had Bob as our wedding deejay, and have nothing but great things to say.
GUEST




We were not very happy with our service her at JukeBox express. The DJ did really poorly with getting the crowd involved in the dancing and he did even asked us if he could wear SHORTS outside because it was a hot day. Our wedding was VERY formal if I might add. They were very unprofessional and I would not recommend using them.
Vendor response to review
Hello Anonymous. We contact all clients after each event and give them every opportunity to communicate with us directly. To post this, our first negative review without stating who you are would make some people wonder.
To your points: July 14 was an extremely hot day. Our staff did their set up in shorts, but we can say with certainty that our DJs were attired as requested before any event started. We understand formal weddings and the attire required.
Crowd involvement: There are many factors that go into why people do or don’t dance. We follow the individual criteria and music selections laid out by each client via their online wedding planner form.
Unprofessional: In what regard? We can again state that we were on time, polite to all, worked with the other vendors and also checked with the bride and groom through out the evening to make certain that we were doing what was asked. In all the reviews we’ve received on Wedding Wire, this term has never been used to describe Jukebox Express.
Our DJs received gratuities at every event on July 14. If you were so displeased with our service, why tip? This is not a requirement of Jukebox Express.
Anonymous, we are sorry that you didn’t enjoy our service and efforts on your special day. As the other reviews and ratings indicate here, we try very hard each night to have a positive working experience with all our clients.

We could not be happier with our experience of working with Jukebox Express for our wedding! During all of the planning they were always prompt to respond and offered helpful suggestions. On the day-of we had to re-work some of the plans spur-of-the-moment due to having an outdoor ceremony on a rainy day, but Bob was up to the challenge. He executed the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing music perfectly and provided the exact experience for the guests that we wanted. He respected our wishes as to what types of music to play and was absolutely great to deal with. We could not be happier and absolutely recommend Bob from Jukebox Express!!

Jukebox Express was recommend to us and I'm glad we took the recommendation. Jim, the owner, was easy to talk to about our expectations in a DJ and listened to what we wanted. Bob was our DJ and did a phenomenal job. He was prompt, courteous and really got to know his audience in a short time and played what they liked and wanted to hear. People were dancing all night long and having a great time thanks to Bob and Jukebox Express!
GUEST




Loved working with the owner, Jim Knoblauch. DJ was outgoing enough without being annoying. I loved how accomodating they were. We had picked out a few songs that they didn't have in their collection but they had no problem getting them for our reception.
GUEST




Dave was a fantastic DJ! I don't think I was off the dance floor for more than 5 songs.
GUEST




Two months before my wedding, I discovered that my reception band had double-booked themselves. I was frantic, calling several DJ services to try to find a replacement. Jim from Jukebox called me within 15 minutes of receiving my email from his cabin in Northern Minnesota... on Memorial Day Weekend. Major points. We had Bob as our DJ, and he did a fantastic job keeping the floor full all night long. Many of my guests commented that they'd never been to a wedding where so many people danced for so long. I'm 100% satisfied with their services and would recommend them to anyone.
GUEST




They were so helpful and willing to work with us. We got compliments all night about how great the volume was and how great the music was! We would recommend them to everyone!!
GUEST




The music was the best part of the reception! There was lots of variety and everyone enjoyed themselves.
GUEST




Jukebox Express was great. We were able to make a playlist online, then I had a phone call with Jim and we went through all the details to make sure everything was perfect. A couple songs we wanted played they didn't have, so they got them just for us. They got everyone on the dance floor, and we had a blast!
GUEST




Jim and Bob were fantastic to work with! The bar was set pretty high as we were probably considered to be "high-maintenance" by many of our vendors, but neither Jim nor Bob ever treated us that way. As the bride, I was EXTREMELY detailed and needed very SPECIFIC things accomplished by our DJ service at our reception to ensure all went according to plan. Jim, the owner, met with us prior to the wedding and was incredible! Very accomodating and never made us feel that we were "asking for the moon", but that our needs came first and that it was "not a problem" to meet our every request. At our wedding, Bob was great! He was fun, professional and EVERY SINGLE detail (there were LOTS!) that were planned and discussed prior, were executed to the "T"! Thank you Jim and Bob for contributing to our incredible day and by giving us the best customer service we could have hoped for.
Many thanks!!

They were very professional and got back to me right away with any questions I have. The questionare beforehand and the talk I had with my DJ made it a smooth reception where he didn't have to find me with questions the day of at all. His enthusiasm was the best and it really helped to make my reception a great time. I highly recommend Jukebox Express for your wedding reception
GUEST




I cannot say enough good things about the quality of the service. It was easy working with Jim prior to my reception. We discussed the details of the reception and what I wanted, and he also made very good suggestions that made my reception better. It was easy to enter music online. Also, it worked out well our giving the DJ, Shawn, a CD of music that was not online. Shawn was the perfect DJ. Very professional. He did a very good job of being the Master of Ceremony, and did an excellent job of playing the music in a way that seemed to flow quite nicely. All my Guests enjoyed it. I would highly recommentd Jukebox Express.
GUEST




Sean did such a great job, he played all of the music we asked them to play. I loved the interactive music planner. That really helped a lot to pick out our music. Sean really added a personal touch to the night! I would use them again for another type of event! They are really the best of the best!
GUEST




We loved working with Jukebox Express. The online form and music request list was really nice to have available and fun to fill out. We completely changed our grand entrance on the night of the event, and our DJ was completely flexible and worked with our site coordinator to ensure it went smoothly. The music played was awesome - we had guests on our dance floor all night long and people are still raving about how fun the dance was. There was a great variety of music for all ages, and they were responsive to our guests special song requests. We'd recommend Jukebox Express to anyone!
GUEST




Fun to work with
GUEST




Very professional, flexible and friendly service. They coordinated well with our venue at the Wabasha Caves. Definitely recommended.
GUEST




It was pleasant working with Jukebox. Our DJ Bob was very adaptable & very professional. He was able to play music that got people from 2 different cultures grooving all night.
GUEST




Our DJ Shawn was amazing! He was the perfect combo of interacting with the crowd as well as just playing great music. All requests were played promptly which really pleased my guests. Great dinner music as well. I would indeed recommend Jukebox Express!
GUEST




My husband and I had our wedding reception on 6.19.10. It was in the backyard of a relative. We had a huge tent. The DJ was Dave and he was terrific!! I had many guests (including) my parents rave about him. He played great music and stuck to our "do not play" list, which was important to us. Our dance was a little delayed, due to bad traffic, and Dave was just fine pushing things back a bit. We had a few special announcements and he was more than willing to pass them on. He was great! I know my guests (and I) had an amazing time on the dance floor!
The owner, Jim, was fantastic to work with. He is easy to reach and an honest business man. He answered my questions in a timely fashion. I felt that he went above and beyond in helping make our party one to remember. My husband and I had put together a DVD slide show, but didn't know how to add music. I talked to Jim about this and he offered to make a play-list of whatever songs we wanted. I thought this was so great and really made a difference in the show.
I would definitely recommend this DJ service!
GUEST




Dave was an awesome DJ! He kept the dance floor full and I was told many times how great he was! He was every friendly with the guests and played all the songs we requested. I would defiantly refer Dave/Jukebox Express to friends and family!
GUEST




My husband and I used Jukebox express for our wedding and thought that they were absolutely wonderful! We have somewhat picky tastes in music and had a lot of kids at the wedding, so we didn't want anything even remotely inappropriate and they went along with all of our requests. I know that they have capabilities to play music off of an ipod if you want, but we didn't even need to deal with that because they ended up purchasing the song that we used for our first dance.
As far as planning the event goes, they have an event planning guide for everyone to fill out online, so you just need to log on and fill in the blanks. Their whole music library is also online, so you can plan all of your music at your leisure. A few days before the event, the owner will call and go over all of the information to make sure it's correct and get pronunciations if needed.
I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a dance!
GUEST




So...before the wedding, my now husband and I did not get around to making a lot of specific music selections for our DJ to play at the wedding. However, our DJ from Jukebox Express did a really good job with the little input that we had given to him.
We asked him for a few select songs and to basically keep the dance floor busy throughout the evening. He read the crowd very well and did a great job with the music.
GUEST




We did a DJ/ Band combo. We also had an hour of dance instruction, just to remind people how to do certain dances like a waltz. Everyone loved the music selection. They said it fit the group well and people loved dancing.

DJ Bob and Jukebox express were amazing.
I don't really know where to begin. Jim called me personally to go through the expectations/concerns I had in regards to my wedding and the music. I had expressed interest in an all mother/son and father/daughter dance, to get our guests up, which they had no problem doing. They also went through our song genre selections to help us tweak them a bit for the dinner music. Even on the big day I had a request for our first dance song to fade out since it was so long and DJ Bob had no issues with that.
I had also expressed concerns of my family not dancing (they usually sit there like bumps on a log). To remedy this, DJ Bob played a lot of the classic old songs that everyone still remembers and dances to, for the first couple of hours; this was a major hit! Our dance floor was actually too small for the amount of people that wanted to dance, we had people dancing by their tables and around the edges of the room. Our bar was in another room (our family/friends like to drink, especially when its free) and it was empty for the majority of the night, people would grab a drink and come back to dance. DJ Bob actually held onto some of the requests from the bridal party (newer dance songs) until later in the evening so it wouldn't deter the older (40+) from dancing the night away. Even when we called our wedding early (all our guests were exhausted and started to leave) DJ Bob made sure to get all of my "must plays" in before it ended.
Months later we are still getting comments on how much fun our wedding was and how great DJ Bob was.
I would definitly recommend DJ Bob and Jukebox Express to anyone getting married. One of our groomsman used Jukebox Express and requested DJ Bob when he got married eight months later because they had loved him so much at our wedding.
GUEST




The DJ was very flexible and listened to our needs. The company worked with us to make sure we had everything the way we wanted.
GUEST




We were very pleased with our DJ services at our reception. He was very professional, the lights and setup was fantastic and not over bearing. The selection of music was GREAT. The sound system was wonderful. He was there ontime and played until the very end. All of our guests loved the DJ and the music, the dance floor was full at all times. The services were 5 star for a very affordable price. Last but not least and most importantly our DJ was very friendly and a pleasure to work with during the planning process! We couldn't have picked a better DJ for our special day!!!
GUEST




Our DJ from Jukebox Express was amazing!!! He kept the dance floor packed all night and played awesome music. Jim was very easy to work with and made sure my requests were met and that my wedding night went smoothly. We would recommend Jukebox Express in a heartbeat!!!
GUEST




Jukebox Express was great to work worth - very professional and did a great job keeping the guests on the dance floor. Everyone danced until the very end which is exactly what we wanted!
GUEST




They were all very helpful and very willing to work with us and our requests. It made the process of finding a DJ very easy and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a lot of fun at your reception. They keep the party fun!
GUEST




I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jukebox Express. The staff responded to my emails and phone calls promptly. They were very flexible and very reasonable priced. The DJ followed our instructions perfectly and added fun to the reception.
GUEST




We had a wonderful experience with our DJ service! We really liked that we got to work with the owner when setting up service. Some of the other DJ services have you working with actual DJs that sometimes don't listen to your needs. Our DJ for the reception was Jeff. He was great! He was very attentive to the needs of our guests and played the songs on our list while balancing requests. The sound was great and there was a level of professionalism that I haven't seen at other wedding receptions that I have attended. You absolutely must contact this company before you make your final decision. It's definitely worth the call!
GUEST




We had a wonderful time with this DJ. They were on time and all set up. I got to work with my husband and pick out songs that we wanted to hear (huge play list) and we got to pick out ones we didn't want played. Also, the DJ we had even took a request from one of our guests that was 4 years old and played a popular kids song, making all of them so happy.
They had a lot of taste and weren't too loud or tacky like some DJs can be. And the owner is involved in this business, working directly with us on how the process works to get them booked and get things arranged. He was great!

I've seen a lot of DJ companies, but these guys were the best. We gave the DJ free-will over most of the music and interaction and we had a ball!
GUEST




We LOVED Jukebox Express. We can upload as many songs as we wanted online, prior to the reception date and customize the music (like, no heavy metal, or no rap music). They were very responsive and most importantly, affordable! The DJ came early and stayed late. We were very impressed with the great service!
GUEST




We had Dave as our DJ and we couldn't have asked for more. He was great! He played everything that we wanted to hear and really hit the nail on the head with our crowd. Everyone had a really great time. And Jim the owner is great to work with as well. Everything went really smooth and was easy on us.
