What we do

One stop for all your entertainment

Weddings are our specialty — and we bring the same energy to every celebration.

Our specialty

Weddings

Ceremony sound coordination, a personalized plan built with you ahead of time, and a team that MCs and coordinates your whole evening — from the walk down the aisle to the last dance.

Private Parties

Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and get-togethers. Tell us the vibe and we’ll bring the music and sound to match it.

Bar Events

High-energy DJ sets for bars and venues that want a crowd that stays, dances and comes back next time.

Sound & Lighting

Professional speakers, wireless mics and colorful dance-floor lighting — we’re called Illumination for a reason.

Included with reception

Photo Booth

Included with our Reception package at no extra cost — fun keepsakes and memories from your night for your guests.

  • Photo booth included. Book our Reception package and your guests get a photo booth at no extra cost.
  • Lights that live up to the name. Color-washed dance floors and lighting effects that turn any room into a celebration.
  • Local to southern Minnesota. Based in Mankato and seen at venues like The Barn of Chapeau Shores, The Capitol Room and The Revival on Main.

“They made our whole day go by perfectly! They’re very fun, energetic, can read a room, and organized! We had multiple meetings with them to finalize the day so it would be perfect because they CARE! My dance floor was full when the last song played and people were upset that the dance was over — it was that fun! We will always recommend them!”
Carli Winterfeldt · Facebook review
“I LOVED having them as my DJ at my wedding. They were personable, easy to work with, and a lot of fun. They made changes last minute, played song requests and were out and about with guests as the night went on. 10/10 recommend.”
Isabelle Ecker · Facebook review, July 2023
“When they say Sound and Entertainment they mean it. You get amazing music, entertainment, and a lot of other things you would not expect. We hired them after being in a wedding last year they were also a part of. David and Andrew work together to bring you and your guests an amazing experience you will never forget. David goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. Things like re-adjusting your tie, or pocket square, funny jokes, and actively participating with the dance floor. He knows how to keep the party going.”
Thomas Fortney · Facebook review, June 2023
“5 stars all the way around! We had Illumination Sound and Entertainment provide their services at our wedding ceremony and reception this past October. I cannot say enough great things about their organization, DJ/emcee skills, and public relations. We met up in person, had supper, talked on the phone, emailed, Facebook messaged each other, and did Zoom calls throughout the process of planning! They even went out of their way to attend our rehearsal, which was a huge bonus! Very interactive, professional guys! Their sound, lights, and equipment did not disappoint! There was not a song they couldn’t provide! 100% recommend them to anyone needing sound and entertainment!”
