    Dan is the QB of your day - give him the ball!

    The DJ is probably the most important coordinator of your wedding day. He/she will either run the show with precision - or run it into the ground. Dan has your back throughout the entire day! He makes sure things step off like clockwork. Oh, and he is also an officiant so you get a 2 for 1 special with Dan! From wedding vows to last dance, Dan has you covered! And he can dance too!

    The best decision we made for our wedding day!

    Dan and I Wed DJ Solutions played a key role in keeping our wedding night on track. I cannot express enough how amazing he made our night, making sure he played songs we requested, getting friends and family on the dance floor, and rolling with all the punches we had! So many of our guests commented how great he was. He would get on the dance floor with our guests and interact with them, so he was a part of the party. Choosing Dan was honestly the best decision we made for our wedding night and I am so glad my cousin recommended I Wed DJ Solutions to us! Thank you Dan! - Rebecca and Jordan Royal

    Best dj ever!

    DJ Dan always knew exactly what song to play from cocktail hour to the end of the reception. He matched the high-intensity energy we were going for by keeping everyone dancing almost the entire night. His sense of when to kick things into high gear and when to throw in a slow song was impeccable. Dan even went the extra mile to speed up our first dance song slightly to match the tempo we had practiced! From cake cutting and first dances to the Macarena and lots of fun in between, we can’t recommend Dan enough!

    Fantastic job!

    Dan @ I Wed Solutions did an amazing job at job daughter's wedding. I had been at another wedding a few years back where he was the DJ. When my daughter asked if I could recommend anyone, Dan was the 1st that came to mind. He is very professional, fun, takes requests and teaches basic line dances as well. Dan officiated the ceremony as well. Thank you for helping make my daughter & daughter in laws wedding so special.

    I Wed Solutions's reply:

    You are welcome, I had a blast!
    Great to see you again.
    Thank you so much for remembering me.

    Best Of The Best!!!!

    We can not say enough about Dan! When we first met him, we just knew we wanted him to be our DJ!! He makes you feel so welcomed and like family from the start. He is great with responding to any and all question in a timely manner. He is so easy to talk to and is very patient. We knew we were in good hands and had nothing to worry about. He was also our officiant, and he attended our rehearsal and made everyone feel comfortable in their roles. He also had the whole day of the wedding under control! He kept us up to date on what was going on, what was coming next, and was giving time reminders to those who needed it. He does a great mixture of music (that is what we asked for), but he will play anything you want! My family loves to do line dances, but even so, Dan gets out there and dances with everyone and reviews the steps for those who may not know it. He is hands down the best choice out there for a DJ! Not only did we love having him, but all of our guests keep telling us how amazing he was! We are trying to think of what else we could need a DJ for just so we can have him again! He is honestly amazing! If you need a DJ you really need to talk to Dan because there is no one like him! We promise, you won’t be disappointed!

    I Wed Solutions's reply:

    Omg, thank you. I feel like a rockstar!
    You guys were a pleasure to work with. Your wedding day was amazing from start to finish.
    Thank you.

    I Wed Solutions is amazing!

    I cannot praise I Wed Solutions enough!! We booked I Wed Solutions for our wedding DJ for both ceremony and reception along with our officiant. Dan Nielsen DJed our wedding and was our officiant. He did a phenomenal job with transitioning music at both the ceremony and reception but most importantly, he smoothly kept us on track throughout the day. I did not hire a day-of coordinator but I didn’t regret my decision. Dan was amazing - he kept the party going all night and was so enthusiastic and fun. We have been told over and over that our wedding was one of the best people have been to and I attribute that largely to Dan for making it so fun for everyone. I Wed Solutions was also very affordable. We looked at some DJs that were outside our budget and were pleasantly surprised when we were reviewing Dan’s rates - we stayed well within our budget even including the costs for ceremony music and officiant services. Dan provided uplighting at our reception as well and again I was shocked with the quality. I have seen some really poor, overdone uplighting which made me hesitant, but Dan’s uplighting was beautiful and went well with our venue. Booking I Wed Solutions for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made.

    I Wed Solutions's reply:

    Thank you very much.
    That review was amazing.
    Thanks for trusting me with your big day!!
    All my best to you and Jake.

    Awesome & Perfect!

    Best DJ around! The night was smooth, flowed, & everyone loved the music that was played. A couple songs were wrong that I picked out, so just make sure you double check with him. But other than that, I'd recommend Dan to anybody!

    I Wed Solutions's reply:

    Thank you, I had a great time at your wedding. Your guests were so fun.
    I apologize for mis-playing those songs. I’m still kicking myself for that rookie mistake.
    My best to you both!!

    DJ Dan was the best!

    Our wedding was 2 days ago, and people are still commenting on our awesome DJ. Thank you DJ Dan for the awesome suggestion on our unique bridal party intros! It was one of our favorite wedding moments on the night! Music was great, he kept us running on schedule, honored our special requests, and everything went totally smoothly. Thank you!!

    Perfection!

    Dan did an amazing job with our wedding reception. He was very flexible to work with us and make the ceremony customized to our needs. We also worked with him in advance on what our song preferences are and even a few line dances he could teach the guests. Everyone had a wonderful evening. We highly recommend him! Jen and Joe

    Best DJ/Officiant Ever!

    Dan was our officiant and DJ for our wedding on August 14, 2021! He did an absolutely incredible job. His service, professionalism, organization, and experience made our run smoothly and allowed us to fully enjoy every minute. Our ceremony was exactly what we wanted and the reception was incredible! For the reception, Dan did a great job as the MC, kept our guests engaged, and the dance floor full. Truthfully, we got the most compliments from a wide range of our guests on Dan! Several of our engaged friends have asked us about Dan - one couple is even using him for their own wedding! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dan and his services. If you need a wedding DJ, officiant, or other services - choose Dan!

    Couldn't ask for a better DJ

    Our venue (The Shores of Turtle Creek) recommended Dan incredibly highly, even going so far as to wave some rental fees if he was the one DJing. We could immediately tell why.
    Dan showed up ready to go after being very communicative and diligent about filling out online forms and collecting song playlists.
    His questionnaires are incredibly thorough And so when it was time for the big day, all you had to do was show up and get to work and boy did he!

    There is never a lull in the music, he kept the whole group engaged and even had the staff dancing with the guests.

    A wonderful DJ truly makes the experience and Dan went above and beyond from Day 1 to make us feel taken care of and made our day even more wonderful.

    I Wed Solutions's reply:

    Aww, thank you so much. I had a fantastic time at your wedding. You and your guests were so fun!!
    I wish you all the best in your new lives together.

    Fun and relaxed

    Dan knows how to give the newlyweds a great party! Our evening was a blast because of him. He has so many tricks up his sleeve. He has a plethora of fun game ideas, and is not afraid to show the crowd how to do a line dance.
    I highly recommend Dan for ANY wedding.

    Professional and put us at ease

    We found Dan through weddingwire, but he is also local in our town Grayslake. We chatted a few times via email and phone and on the day of the ceremony he did an amazing job! As he says, he has done over 200 weddings, he is very knowledgable and was great at putting us at ease and performing the type of ceremony we wanted. He is also a DJ, so he is VERY comfortable with speaking and making the couple the spotlight of the ceremony. He was helpful with the setup of the vows and submitting the marriage license. I highly recommend him!

    Amazing!

    Literally such a rockstar!!!! Dan is fun, enagaging, and truly loves what he does. He does an awesome mix of music and is happy to work with whatever you want. He especially killed it with my father daughter dance and helping me pick music. Everyone from our wedding raved about the music and felt engaged with dan the whole time. Great price, great DJ, he made our night unforgettable.

    I Wed Solutions's reply:

    Thank you,
    Your wedding was off the charts FUN!

    Dan was AMAZING!!! He was our DJ and officiant and was so supportive and helpful through the entire planning process, answered every question I had and I honestly cannot say enough good things about him. At the wedding he was extremely flexible and even though there were a lot of changes and additions to things he just rolled with it and didn't miss a thing. I've only heard great things about him from my wedding guests, heck, not only was Dan on the dance floor, even our florist and photographers were dancing with all of us! I highly recommend him to absolutely everyone!!

    I Wed Solutions's reply:

    Thank you for the nice review. I had a great time at your wedding!!

    Dan was a great DJ for our wedding! Everyone loved him and we keep getting compliments on how great our DJ was. He went above and beyond his duty as a DJ and he helped us with our ceremony and made sure our reception ran smooth. Dan was also very response and happy to answer any question we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and we highly recommend him!

    We had our Disney/Fairytale wedding on June 23, 2018 at IL State Beach. We met Dan at one of the bridal shows we attended and he came highly recommended. Once we talked to him and went to see him at the studio, we knew we wanted him to officiate the wedding and be our DJ. Dan was so awesome. He was so patient and helpful in picking out the ceremony music, first song, etc. He also helped me write our Disney vows which were absolutely perfect.
    Dan was not only our DJ but also was the Master of Ceremonies. He had everything running like clockwork along with our Day of Coordinator. The dance floor was always full and we got so many compliments from our guests. He became part of the wedding from getting everyone on the dance floor to teaching line dancing. Dan and his brother Steve (our photographer) even did an amazing dance together that everyone loved. He was having a blast and everyone could tell that he was the best at what he does. He is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
    If anyone is looking for an officiant and/ or DJ for your wedding...look no further. Honestly…you won’t be disappointed. Dan from I Wed Solutions DJ Service is your guy. If we could rate him 10 stars we would. Our Dream Wedding Team became like family to us…they are all amazing.

    I found Dan through my best friend. He did her wedding and he was amazing! That made me even more comfortable with choosing him. He is easy to talk to and truly wants your wedding to be prefect. He will help you with anything and gives you outlines to help make sure you get all the music you need for your big day. He is super responsive and will help with any questions you may have. I let Dan take control of a lot of the music because he has done this so many times and it just took so much pressure off of me which is always a plus! So many of our guests told us how fun our wedding was and how amazing it was that he was able to read the crowd to keep everyone dancing! My Husband and I truly had the best time and we are so thankful to Dan for that. I highly recommend him.

    Dan is the only DJ you should ever consider using. He was incredible! He did music for our ceremony and kept the night going DJ'ing our reception. He did a fantastic job taking our music tastes and making the night so much fun! He even jumped out on the dance floor and danced with us. We had many comments that our wedding was one of the best ones they have been to and we owe it all to Dan! He kept us updated with what was happening during the night and everything was perfect and fun! We had someone close to us get ordained to marry us so we did not use Dan for those needs, but he went above and beyond to take her aside and look over her ceremony before the wedding. He is an amazing guy and the best DJ around! :]

    Kate was our officiant and we could not have been more happy with how the entire process went! She was super friendly, truly knew exactly what she was doing, and was a true professional. She helped us with the entire ceremony planning process and found ways to incorporate all of the little things we decided we wanted to do. She made sure everything went smoothly and made our day awesome. Thank you!!!!

    Dan made my wedding an absolute success!  Everyone was dancing, having a great time, the dance floor was filled the entire night, and he did such a wonderful job moving my bride and I along with the dances, cake cutting, bouquet toss and garter toss.  He did a Skype video call with us a few days before the wedding, at our convenience, just to make sure everything was going smoothly, where has was able to help us fill in some song gaps (garter toss and bouquet toss).  Dan looked professional, acted professional, and entertained all of my guests with great music, and a few dance specials including teaching people how to do the wobble, and Dan did this amazingly fun double-dutch routine, which everyone participated and enjoyed! My guests raved about how fun my wedding was days after! I fully recommend Dan for anyone who is looking for a professional DJ that will make your night memorable and fun!

    Dan is amazing and I love him! He played all the right music at all the right times and he joined in with the dancing and made everyone enjoy their evening! He knew where everyone needed to be and when they needed to be there! He was also our officiant and he rocked that too!!! He was there for us every step of the way! Thank you so much Dan!!!

    Dan Neilson/I Wed Solutions made the planning process easier by offering both officiant and DJ services. We used both and were quite pleased. Dan performed a beautiful and meaningful ceremony and made us feel comfortable. During the reception, he kept things moving along in a timely manner and even went above and beyond his DJ duties at the end of the night. Guests even asked if Dan was our wedding planner. Our special day was due in large part to Dan and I Wed Solutions.
