Professional DJs. Personalized Experiences. Unforgettable Celebrations.

At Mid-West Family Entertainment, we believe music brings people together. Whether it’s the moment a couple shares their first dance or a packed dance floor of guests singing along, we’re here to create those moments and make them last.

We’re a team of experienced, passionate DJs specializing in weddings and high-energy events across La Crosse and the surrounding region. From Onalaska to Viroqua, Tomah to West Salem, and throughout the tri-state area, we’ve been trusted to provide entertainment for couples, schools, businesses, and communities for more than a decade.

More than just DJs, we’re entertainers, timeline managers, and event professionals who understand how to keep your celebration running smoothly while keeping the energy high.

Wedding Dance

A Mid-West Family Brand

Mid-West Family Entertainment is proud to be part of Mid-West Family La Crosse, a locally owned and operated marketing and media company known for its radio stations, deep community roots, and support of local businesses.

Being part of Mid-West Family means more than sharing a name, it means living out shared values of service, integrity, and connection. This partnership also gives us access to tools and resources many entertainment companies simply can’t match.

When you book with us, you’re working with a team that’s trusted, established, and committed to the communities we serve.

Wedding Music

Weddings Are What
We Do Best

Although we DJ for a variety of events, weddings are at the heart of our work. Our DJs specialize in creating seamless, personalized experiences from ceremony music to your final sendoff. We help couples bring their vision to life by staying attentive, adaptable, and focused on every detail.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all receptions. Each couple is unique, and your event should reflect that. That’s why we work with you to build a custom timeline, select meaningful songs, and adapt to the energy of your day. Whether you’re planning a black-tie affair or a backyard celebration, we’re ready to make it unforgettable.

What Sets Us Apart

Experience You Can Trust

From wineries and rustic barns to formal ballrooms, we’ve performed at hundreds of venues and events. We know how to handle surprises, read a crowd, and keep everything on track.

Professionalism with Personality

We’re friendly and fun, but also reliable, prepared, and service-focused. You’ll see us early, dressed sharp, with backup gear and a solid plan.

Local Knowledge, Community Pride

We live and work in the La Crosse area and take pride in serving our neighbors. Many of our DJs also volunteer and stay active in community events, bringing that same passion to every celebration.

Meet The DJs

Bags

Brian “Bags” Blank

With over 20 years of experience across clubs, radio, and events, Bags brings big personality and even bigger energy. Known for his interactive style and crowd awareness, he treats every wedding like a concert. When he’s not DJing (which is rare), you’ll find him outdoors or blasting music while cleaning the kitchen. He's been a staple in the local DJ scene since his early days at Marley's in Wisconsin Dells.

Miriam

Miriam Cavanaugh

A calming presence behind the booth, Miriam combines creativity with organization. With a background in classical music and the arts, she brings six years of DJ experience and currently manages operations for Mid-West Family Entertainment. She’s known for connecting with vendors and guests alike to ensure each event is as smooth as it is fun.

Dan

Dan “Rambles” Olson

Dan is the “Dance Commander” of our crew. With a deep love for Motown, Disco, and Electro-pop, his sets feel nostalgic and fresh at the same time. He’s a pro at crafting unique playlists for weddings and school dances. A musician and massage therapist by day, Dan brings both rhythm and energy to the booths, sometimes in a bow tie.

Lou

Lou McCloud

Lou’s upbeat, pop-forward playlists and natural charisma light up every room. Friendly and outgoing, he’s a DJ who gets in on the fun, often joining the crowd in a dance or sing-along. When he’s not DJing, Lou is out living life to the fullest—on his motorcycle, fishing, or belting out karaoke.

Sam

Sam “DJ/MC Wiener” Wiener

A newer addition to the team, Sam’s energy is infectious. With a love of country music and a go-to song like “Hey Ya!” by Outkast, her goal is always to help guests have a blast. Behind the booth, she’s often seen singing along or dancing while curating the perfect vibe. Her adventurous spirit brings a fresh, upbeat style to every event she plays.

Let’s Plan Your Perfect Day

Choosing the right DJ is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your wedding or event. When you work with Mid-West Family Entertainment, you’re getting more than music, you’re getting a partner who understands timing, flow, and how to turn moments into memories.

Whether you’re newly engaged or finalizing your vendor list, we’d love to hear more about your plans and help you create an entertainment experience that reflects your vision.

Our calendar fills quickly, especially during peak wedding season. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s talk.
