Ashley Brockschink

Unique Events is the best option for anyone wanting holding any kind of event. Service is fast, the people are friendly, and they deliver every single time! I cannot say enough great things about this company!!

I absolutely love Unique Events and their team. No other place in the area has the level of dedication, incredible talent, and amazing services and offerings like UE does. Their floral is incredible, their staff is hilarious, kind, and awesome at what they do, and they have some of the most gorgeous rentals and items around. The DJS are one of the only ones we recommend, since they knock it out of the park every time! If you are looking for a one stop shop to make your wedding planning needs a heck of a lot easier on yourself, UE is the place to go!! :)

Great!!! Riley and team provided DJ service for our wedding and it was fantastic; I've never seen better. They are beyond a DJ; they made sure our entire evening ran smoothly. From coordinating the flow of the night to even getting drinks for the bridal party at the head table; I was blown away by the service. And, the music was fantastic; always reading the dance floor crowd and adjusting as needed. Great music and flow can make your reception a success and a great time - these guys are the best; you will not be disappointed!!!

Unique Events was the DJ for our daughter's wedding and I can't thank them enough!!! Avery was our DJ and Riley was so helpful to work with. They are amazing!!! You CANNOT go wrong by having Unique Events help you with any event!!! They made the day run so smoothly and it was completely stress free for me. I was able to just enjoy my daughter's wedding and I knew Avery had everything under control!! I would give them more stars if I could!!!

I have been planning events in Des Moines in various capacities since 2015, and Unique Events is one of my favorite vendors to work with for all my event needs. I have used almost all of their services - floral and decor, equipment rental, photo booth rental, DJ's - and they always deliver! My events are beautiful with gorgeous floral and impeccably maintained equipment and they always work within my budget. Glen is organized, responds quickly, and is fun to work with. Their set up crews are professional and work quickly. I can't say good enough things about Unique Events and their team. If you plan events in Des Moines - don't look them over just because they are based out of town. You won't be disappointed!

We used Unique events for our design and DJ needs and we couldn’t have been happier with what they provided for us Erin was absolutely wonderful to work with when coming up and executing design ideas & Travis helped our evening go smoothly, as well as, keep our dance floor super active and fun!! We felt so happy with our decision to hire unique events for our special day and would highly recommend them.

They truly go out of their way to make your wedding special, they take all the stress out of everything and made sure our party was truly amazing. Dance floor was packed the entire night.

We recently had our wedding in Iowa City, and our DJ was extremely impressive, professional, and an excellent taste in music. He told us that he has been DJ'ing for 14 years, and it definitely showed. The dance floor was always packed, and he shied away from playing the typical songs that are always played at weddings. Our guests have been commenting about how great of a time they had and have noted that the music was a big reason. I would definitely recommend going to Unique Events in the future if someone is looking for a DJ for a wedding.

I left this same review on the knot, but I couldn't help myself because I think everyone should know what a spectacular job these guys do! To say these guys are awesome is a total understatement. We spoke with Riley and immediately knew these guys were quality. My now husband wasn't totally on board as far as the price tag, but he had put me in charge of the budget and I chose to spend more on entertainment and less on other areas...he went around telling my bridesmaids and family not to tell me, but that it was worth every cent! Riley ended up being our Dj and he brought Miles for lighting, the two were fantastic! We had so many comments from guests that they could not stop dancing, they loved the music and the different changes in lighting! Riley did an amazing job steering the evening events and drawing attention where and when it needed to be done. He made sure the groom and I's parents and wedding party members had what they wanted to drink. He also recalled things I had not written down but mentioned in passing, and used them for the evening, these guys don't miss a detail. They worked extremely well with our other vendors. UE totally transformed our run down venue into a beautiful reception hall. Upon our request, Riley, Miles and Bobby came to town early in the week to set up the dance floor and do our final consultation. He even travelled in 6 months prior to scope out our venue. I can't say enough great things about this team, they're able to improvise when things don't go as planned and make recommendations on many areas of your day. All the stress brought on by a wedding day went away as soon as I arrived at our reception because UE had everything under control, I HIGHLY recommend these guys, I can't say enough great things about them!

Travis Newell did an amazing job as our wedding DJ. He listened to my husband and my ideas/music taste and played the perfect selection of music both during dinner and for dancing. The dance floor was full all night long. He even made a special mash-up song for my father-daughter dance as a surprise for my dad, which he loved. Unique Events is professional, easy, and fun to work with. Their services are well worth the money. I would recommend them to any bride and groom that values a fun dance party at their wedding.

We truly recommend Unique Events and their various options to coordinate a fantastic and fun event. Our guests enjoyed the photo booth and lounge furniture, which added special touches to our evening!

I've had the pleasure of working on jobs with UE multiple times and each and every time I see the best of professionalism, kindness and attention to detail.

I have worked with the Unique Events team for nearly a decade now on hundreds of events, and without a doubt -- they are amazing! They are truly leaders in this area in terms of service, products, and quality. Their attention to detail is top notch, and everything is customized to each client's needs. I love it when one of my couples hire UE, because I know everything will run smoothly. They are wonderful!
