Where do I even begin??! Alex is absolutely incredible. By far, the best decision I made during our wedding planning was hiring Alex to handle all of our music! Music is a hugely important thing in my life - I’m always the one at events that people turn to to “DJ” and play music, make a playlist, etc etc. So handing over the reigns to someone to be in charge of the music on MY wedding day was NO easy task. Alex was truly a no brainer for me. I wanted one person in charge of it all - the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception. Alex exceeded all of our expectations. For the ceremony, I wanted to walk down the aisle to a popular song - but the piano version, no lyrics - I found a piano cover of the song on YouTube, and I sent it to Alex and was like “hey, can you learn this?” LOL - but not only did he learn it, he completely crushed it! It was perfection. Alex also played acoustic guitar at our cocktail hour - we let him pick the songs and do his thing, and we received SO many compliments on how great he sounded. Everyone loved it. Then Alex DJ’d our reception. BEST. DJ. EVERRRR. We put together a Spotify playlist of songs we wanted to hear during the night - I also told Alex what songs/artists we definitely did NOT want to hear - and he did fantastic! Literally the dance floor at our wedding was packed the ENTIRE night! My stepmom couldn’t even believe it - she said it was the most fun she has ever had at any event ever, and we had multiple people tell us that they have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was legit popping ALL night. The absolute highlight of my entire wedding was dancing so hard and belting “Mr. Brightside” on the dance floor with my closest friends and family - all of this thanks to Alex. If you want to feel confident that your music for your entire event will be in the absolute BEST (and extremely talented) hands, then look no further, and hire Alex immediately. His level of professionalism and musical talent is truly something to be admired. He is a Jack of all trades!

Alexander Ruwe and The Red Jackets were absolutely amazing to work with. From the planning to the execution, everything we dreamed of was accomplished even better than we planned it. From asking for a lot of songs to be done live rather than recorded and having their services during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and our reception, we were so happy with our choice in choosing the Red Jackets. They are so interactive and just lovely people to be around. I enjoyed every minute of it and enjoy seeing them at local St. Louis offerings; it helps us hold on to a little bit of the fun from our wedding day! THANK YOU ALEX, for making allll of our dreams come true. You made it ALL happen and I had a lot of asks 🙂 You could tell the band was having just as much fun as we were having. When catching up with our friends and family from our wedding day, they comment on how perfect the music was from our ceremony (thank you Alex!) and how fun and energetic the dancing was at the reception (thank you band!) we had the dance floor full all night long!! I think we are all still chanting *encore!*

Alex was absolutely amazing! We had to change our venue twice because of Covid and Alex worked with us through the whole process! In the end, we had a backyard wedding that was livestreamed and everyone there physically and virtually commented on how much they loved Alex! The acoustic music during our ceremony helped give it a super personal touch! Then, later in the evening when it started raining, Alex let us move him under a 10 X 20 tent and we kept the after party going for another 2 hours in the rain! We could not have asked for a better DJ! Alex truly cared about us and making our day the best day it could be! We 1000% plan on using Alex for any and all music needs in the future and he will be someone that we recommend to anyone who is looking for a DJ! Thanks so much Alex!!!
