I was told by several brides that your DJ or Music Host will be the deciding factor on how well the reception goes. The DJ is truly a host and “runs the show.” I understand that most people are on a budget of some sort, but it was a top priority for me to have the best music host around, in order to ensure the best reception, with no hiccups, so it was well worth the very slightly higher cost to have only the best. Kurt was our host and he was absolutely awesome. He was very professional! He was great at communicating with us prior to our special day, and he explained everything to us and answered any questions we had. He went over song lists, timelines, who was toasting when, the order of the evening, and the pronunciation of names. He set expectations with us for how the timeline of events for the evening would proceed and he stuck to his word. He did exactly what he said he was going to do, he was a professional music host, and we received rave reviews from attendees. The dance floor was full and the party did not stop until the very last song. Kurt and Music Host Entertainment really gave the evening that extra something and it was a truly magical night. I highly recommend Music Host and am very pleased with their services.

Don is your guy! Everyone thought the music was very appropriate and laid back. The whole night went just as we thought, Don was very professional but yet had himself a great time as well! Flawless, thanks again Don & MHE!

Best DJ ever. Joel was our DJ from MHE and he was absolutely incredible. He met with us one on one before the wedding and helped us organize everything from the ceremony through to the last song. He totally understood what we were looking for and we received so many compliments after the wedding. I would recommend MHE, and Joel in particular, to anyone looking for an incredible DJ who knows how to keep the dance floor packed all night. The jazz trio was a great addition, but Joel really shined.

Our DJ, Jeff, was wonderful! He was responsive to emails and was very flexible in working with my schedule (I was planning the wedding from another state). He played great music and got to most of the songs that I requested while still accepting requests from guests so that we all had a blast. The dance floor was packed the entire night. I had the wedding and reception of my dreams and Jeff really helped make the night truly special. He also gave us a CD of the special songs at the end of the night, which I really love! Thanks!

Jeff was the DJ at our reception and he was great! He was very flexible with any changes we made to our schedule or songs ... even changes we made the day before. Guests even came up to us during the reception to comment on how great he was at making sure the evening flowed. I would definitely recommend Jeff and Music Host Productions!

We were extremely pleased with our experience with Music Host Entertainment (Rick Reuther Productions) and his DJ's Andrew Rounds and David Smith. We hired MHE as a DJ only, we did not have the live music that Rick also offers (he was booked, not surprised!). Here is a copy of the written feedback that I gave to Rick:
During our initial call, Rick's phone "manners" were extremely professional while remaining friendly. It was obvious that he was confident in his DJ's and company, and he asked great questions that made me sure that he would have all the bases covered. We were also very impressed with Andrew Rounds as planning got underway. He used his iPhone for super-quick responses to questions I had about his date/time availability for our face to face meeting, as I was trying to coordinate schedules with my planner as well. At the meeting, Scott and I felt relieved because he was organized, professional and seemed very experienced. He offered suggestions about our day-of schedule (like cutting the cake immediately after being announced into the reception) which worked out very well for us. Since our face-to-face meeting went so well, and his preparation seemed to be so complete, I was happy on the day of the wedding, knowing that the DJ was definitely something I would not need to worry about. During the wedding, I honestly didn't notice very much in particular, being busy with guests and having a good time. I think this is a good thing! We had a complicated set-up and take-down with an equipment move in the middle, which seemed to go off without a hitch. I noticed Andrew and David really hustling to get the ceremony equipment into the reception (barn) for dinner in the tight timing I requested and they pulled it off perfectly. I did get positive feedback from guests about them, and I noticed that both men looked totally "on task" in all the pictures - watching the crowd, choosing the music... very professional. I think the best complement in the end, was when I spoke with the woman who did all of the day-of coordination for me. She is very particular about how things should be. She commented that Andrew and David were the most professional DJ's she had ever worked with - that is saying a lot!! I couldn't be happier with any part of my experience with Rick, Andrew and David.

Rick did an outstanding job at our wedding. He was extremely professional and kept the dance floor going all night! We also had the jazz band play during the cocktail hour and our guests loved it.

Awesome from start to finish. DJ Kurt was recommended to us from one of my bridesmaids. Both Kurt and Rick were awesome and we were very glad we picked them!

I live in Minneapolis and planning my reception with Rick was still a breeze. He knew all the details to cover and questions to ask me. One of my concerns was having the right music at the right time for my various guests and it went perfectly. He was very professional and I am sure that the other DJs are as well.

We had Don as our DJ for our wedding. He was AWESOME - people were out on the dance floor for the entire wedding reception. Great music and very organized!!

We had Andrew as our DJ from Music Host Productions for both our ceremony and reception. He was absolutely fantastic! We loved how flexible and easy Andrew was to work with. He was very professional and if we ever had a question about something concerning a song for a dance (etc.) he would always have suggestions. Our theme was generally 60s and 70s music and Andrew came up with a great song list and made the night go perfectly! Everyone was up and dancing! Andrew had been to Bay Pointe Inn (where our ceremony/reception was) several times before and this made us very comfortable with how everything was going to be set up and go for our big day. We had no worries after meeting with Andrew the first time several months before our wedding. We would definitely go with Music Host Productions again for any event we decide to have in the future. My husband's brother and fiance were so impressed at our wedding that they plan on going with Music Host Productions for their wedding in another year.

We used Music Host Productions as our wedding reception DJ for our May 2011 wedding and they were FANTASTIC!!! Our DJ, Andrew, was extremely professional and organized and kept our guests dancing all night long! During our initial meeting with Andrew, he made sure to ask all the important details and listened to all of our music selection ideas and was very flexible to what we wanted. He was wonderful & we had an awesome reception because of our wonderful DJ!

My husband and I were thrilled all the way around with MHP. We had them provide both live music (a jazz trio) for our cocktail hour and dinner portion of the reception. The musicians were outstanding. People loved both the variety and the skill level they brought to the event. Then once dinner was over we had the DJ take over. Don Kinney was our DJ from MHP and he did a great job of playing songs that we had requested he play (which fit our crowd) and songs that were requested by our guests. Don really helped bring the fun and the music was key in tying everything together.

We were so pleased with the DJ ... we had Andrew and he was fantastic. The dance floor was always busy and our guests had a great time. We had a separate sax player for the cocktail and dinner hour and the two of them worked very well together. This was a very formal wedding where everyone had a great time. Andrew worked very will with the Bride and Groom ... he understood their vision and their preferences. As an added bonus, at the end of the night, he gave them a CD of the music he played for their special songs.

I would definitely recommend Music Host Productions for your wedding reception or any other event that you need a DJ. Rick was professional, easy to work with, and did a fabulous job at the wedding. We couldn't be happier with the music played and the way he kept the reception flowing. He did an amazing job!

We first met with Rick who was professional and helpful. We were looking for someone who would provide us with great dance music but not a lot of "show" type stuff. He delivered. We met with the DJ who would work our wedding. He was helpful in giving song choices and working with us about the timing of music and events of the evening. During the reception he wore a tux which was a nice extra. The music was great and we had a full dance floor all nite. Early on in the evening having a few more swing/big band songs would have been nice for our older guests, but other than that it was a great evening. The DJ accommodated many of our requests.

Music Host Productions did the best job I have seen in a long time. Kurt was excellent at watching the dance floor and making sure we never lost a person. Our dance floor was full from 7:30-11:00!! Our guests enjoyed themselves, great music was played and the party was rocking until the end. THANK YOU Kurt and music host productions for making this such a great night. This is one services I would highly reccommend....they will not let you down!

Rick was so professional and easy to work with. He was very detailed in our meeting beforehand and so calming on the day of. Not only is he a fabulous disc jockey, he surprised us and sang during dinner.... I didn't even know it was him at first, it sounded just like Frank Sinatra. I work at a reception hall and have seen DJ's just kill a party so when I was looking for a DJ, I wouldn't have anyone but Rick. My wedding date was actually planned around him!! You can't go wrong with Rick and Music Host Productions!

Rick Reuther did a great job, he kept my guests dancing all night. I received so many compliments on the great music. It was great working with him because he has so much experience and he knows what works.
