We Listen – It all starts here. Your vision is the key. How do you want the event to look, sound and feel?

We Guide – We’ve worked with hundreds of couples and have entertained thousands of guests. We also understand that most people don’t host parties or celebrations very often. We have deep knowledge on what makes events epic and others forgettable. We’ll give you professional recommendations that others can’t. 

We Make it FUN! -  You make a lot of decisions. Talking about the party should be fun!

We Complement Your Style – Couples spend a large portion of their budget on an venue, food and decor. Many arrive to be surprised that the entertainment looks unprofessional and amateur. We present a beautiful production that blends with the setting and mood for a sophisticated affair.

The Marquee story, like yours I expect, is about a journey.

My journey as a DJ started when I launched my first entertainment company at age 17. I played music at every type of event you could imagine. I also worked as a radio and nightclub DJ in college. One song at a time, I polished my DJ skills and learned the art of event design and lighting production.

After more than a decade of entertaining at hundreds of weddings and events, life brought me marriage, a busy corporate career and two young children. I sold my thriving business and refocused my energy. 

As the world changed in 2020, I found myself reflecting on my passion for music and how much I missed packed dance floors and having a front row seat for the special moments of the couples who trusted me with their entertainment.

I was thinking about the many events I had attended where the DJ didn’t meet my expectations for what couples and clients deserved. People weren’t getting the best from the DJs they hired.

I dusted off my turntables, digitized my music collection and took a deep dive into how I could raise the standard for DJ entertainment.

Marquee Events was reborn! We’ve set out to be the exclusive choice of the coolest couples, companies and private events in central Iowa.

I look forward to being a part of your story. I promise you’ll get our best.

Cheers!
