They have an easy to use online planning tool, follow up emails and call to verify everything was perfect. Our DJ was very professional and made sure everything was just was we wanted. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

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.

On the plus side, they have a good selection of music and they are good DJs if you aren't picky about what kind of music is played. The price is very reasonable as well.

I have seen this guy at multiple weddings and his music isnt bad if you only like oldy music. He…read morewill not play request, he can be very rude, and his choice of music would have been good if you were married in the 80's or 90's. If your a young couple and dont care what he plays at your wedding, then he may be fine. If you want newer music and have lots of request avoid this guy completely. I havn't talked to anyone who would actually recommend him after he has dj their wedding. He is there to play his lame music and collect a check.

Larry recently did music for my wedding and was fantastic. We contracted him for six hours to do…read morethe mic for our officiant, music before/during/after the outdoor ceremony, and then during our reception where he played a slideshow of photos we had supplied. He is a great communicator, did fantastic work, and had people on the dance floor from after our first dances until three full hours later into the night, and at no point was the dance floor clear during that time. He supplied an awesome Google Drive spreadsheet for us to fill in tons of information since we were coordinating from a few states away. One side note, and far from a ding to Larry, is that if you have him display a slide show, then make sure you have either a white wall or a screen to have it displayed upon. We completely forgot and our venue was all exposed wood grain walls, it looked fine, but could have been avoided on our part. Long story short, if you want a worry-free DJ experience for your wedding from start to finish, book Big "B" DJ Services now!

Went to a wedding where this company provided the music. Was one of the worst music experiences I…read morehave encountered. While people were still in line for food the DJ started the Village People's YMCA song and we were asked to dance to it at our tables. Once the meal and toasts were over they began playing music again, but I believe they were getting paid by the number of songs they started. As people were dancing the song would stop in the middle of it and a new song would begin. Would not recommend this company for anything.
