Unique Events was such an amazing company to work with. We planned our wedding in about 10 months…read moreand they made the process stress-free and manageable. We used their design, floral, and day-of coordination services. The design service was amazing. They got to know us as a couple, got to know our vibe, and then created a tailored design plan that truly incorporated every element we wanted and some that we didn't even know were possible! They stayed within our budget and did not pressure us to spend more. We were able to rent all of our needed items from them and used them for signage. We also paid for the set-up and tear-down services so felt incredibly stress free with the design of the wedding day. The floral was wrapped up in the design process and was also effortless. They gave us a full plan of which florals would be used for our bouquets and arrangements. On the day-of the flowers were beautiful and just as described. The day-of coordination was icing on the cake. Our coordinator, Kelli, was present for all of our design/planning meetings so it felt like she knew our wedding when planning the schedule. She was available to talk through all the details of our schedule and very communicative leading up to the wedding. On the day of my wedding I felt so calm knowing that the set up and coordination was in capable hands. I was able to focus on being in the moment and enjoy the whole day. They made clean-up seamless. Was the best use of money. Would do 100 times over!! Recommend Unique Events endlessly!

We worked with Travis and the Unique Events team for almost a year while planning our summer…read morewedding in the Quad Cities. We have nothing but praise for their work and would not hesitate to recommend UE's services to others planning a special event. We elected to work with Unique Events after a disappointing experience with another event planning group whose fee structure and policies were ambiguous, at best. From the outset, Travis and his team of event designers were responsive to our questions and took our interests, tastes, and goals for the wedding into consideration. UE worked within our budget to design and execute a truly outstanding event that felt personal, elegant, and seamless. A number of the vendors and countless guests have reached out to us with compliments for UE's exceptional service and design work. My partner and I planned the wedding from out of state, and therefore assigned a lot of responsibility to UE to manage not only their own design elements (incl. ceremony & reception decor, lighting, floral, linens, and numerous rentals) but also to oversee the "day-of" operations of eight other vendors. Throughout the planning process, Travis Newell's communication with us was prompt, clear, and courteous. He went above and beyond to ensure that the details we discussed were accounted for in revised event proposals and came prepared with questions and ideas to all of our conversations. He and the day-of coordinators even went so far as to meet with me (and one of the other vendors) at the venue three weeks before the wedding for a detailed walk through of the design and event timeline. The event coordinators, Ashley and Hannah, also provided exceptional service on the day-of, working tirelessly from 7am through midnight to liaise with vendors, party members and guests, and to attend to issues that arose. We were deeply impressed with their attentiveness and demonstrated capacity. Thank you so much, Unique Events! We couldn't have done it without you.

Clife DJ Company exceeded our expectations!! We booked DJ Russ immediately after meeting him at a…read morewedding showcase event. He is professional and delightful; he listened to what we wanted most, and he delivered!! He ensured that our May the 4th be with you wedding featured subtle touches of Star Wars for my nerdy yet adorable husband by remixing Star Wars songs with songs we love and even gifting us lightsabers! We cannot recommend this company enough!

Everything from booking to our event was professional, smooth, and super easy!

I have no complaints. Tony and his son did a great job with both the photo booth and as our DJ for…read moreour wedding. He took every request we had and played and hosted exactly the way we wanted. His emails were prompt and professional and we never felt like he was anything but great. He did last calls for the bar as well as got our toasts ready in a timely fashion. We even got to keep a cute little album of photos people took (which not every photo booth does included in your fee) and the flash drive as well. Definitely would recommend for a wedding!

First off, the DJ was personable, attired nicely and knew how to work his equipment. Why am I then…read moregiving him a bad review? Because he barely played any of the songs on my daughter's MUST play list and solely played what he wanted to play. I e-mailed him 2 days after the wedding and told him in very explicit but nice terms how disappointed we were in how the evening went. Guess what? The owner never answered my e-mail. That is not the way a true professional business should behave. If you can't take constructive criticism then get out of business. I went up several times to ask him when he was going to play a particular song and he would get all technical and talk about beats per second on the display. Really? Do I care about that? Hell no! Just play the song my daughter is paying u to play!! The DJ (Darrius) had his own agenda all night long, hit on some of the women there (NOT COOL) and refused to even play the last song she wanted. "I always play this song last" he said. DO NOT hire this company unless u want to be extremely disappointed. You are paying them to play what u have requested, not what they want. Out of the 25 must play songs he played maybe 10 and he played for 7 hours!! My daughter was a little drunk and she couldn't get through to him but after all is said and done, she's upset. We would have been better off and saved a lot of money by just bringing our own sound system and an IPod.

I would not recommend this Rock & Thunder DJ service. First,…read morethere was such a lack of communication from the owner. Several emails went unanswered, he responded a bit better to text/phone calls. I even begged him to respond so I knew he was still on board with our wedding. Second, was told they would be setting up the day of the wedding at 8 am, they showed up at 1:30 pm. I called at 1030 am asking where they were and 30 mins later was told they would be there by 1 pm give or take. (The ceremony time was 330pm, meaning guest would be arriving by 3 pm.) Two hours to set up in 2 locations is not a lot of time. Third, come ceremony time, there was no background music played, the three requested songs to be played for the grandparents. parents, and wedding party was not played (all silent). Half of the brides song was played. During the ceremony there was burst of music for 3 seconds (that was not suppose to happen). His reasoning was they were having technical difficulties on 3 different laptops (which is so crazy because it has never happened to them before) but if I look on the bright side they got the bride's song to play via their cell phone due to their quick thinking. Well, IF they would have showed up at the original set up time they could have had all the bugs figured out. Fourth, he added in charges that was not included in the original paperwork. Such a horrible and disappointing experience with this DJ who claims they were one of the nations top DJs, twice, in the Modern Bride magazine. DO NOT USE!!

Besides the bride and groom, nothing is more important at a wedding reception than the music…read moreplaylist. Rock and Thunder was recommended to us as a referral, and I can honestly say they exceeded our expectations. I gave them my playlist via excel spreadsheet and they adhered to the customized list very close (there were a few dj requests/plays but they read the crowd excellent). At one point during the reception, Adam let me know timewise our dinner music which had gone long due to a delay in the serving time, some of the dance songs wouldn't make the cut timewise as planned - I cut out about 6-8 tunes so we could go for the Must-Plays (i.e. Africa). Towards the final songs, he even offered to play longer (minimal if any charge) but our reception time was up - - he did sneak in healthy closing song to send our guests out happy. Price wasn't bad, for the value it was worth it. Apparently they do a mean light show , but we knew our guests wouldn't need anymore coaxing than a few drinks and good tunes to get dancing. As a bonus they helped set the tone with our you-call-it bridal party intro song (individualized songs per bridal party member request, an 8-10 second snippet), that was perfect. Excellent job R&T. Well done Adam.
