Why ST Budget Sound
We're owner-operated — no agency markups, no hidden costs. Just experienced DJs and professional gear at rates that work for real budgets.
No expensive offices or administrative overhead. You pay for the DJ's time and professional equipment — nothing else. That's how we keep prices fair.
EV Evolve 50 speakers, Chauvet Gigbar lighting, custom GOBO projections, and fog machines. Equipment that performs — without the premium agency price tag.
Our DJs don't just play music — they manage the energy, read the crowd, and keep your timeline on track from cocktail hour to last dance.
From your first quote to the final song, we're responsive and transparent. No surprises — just a stress-free experience and a DJ who shows up prepared.
We've saved events with as little as 2 days notice when other DJs cancelled. If you're in a pinch, call us — we'll do everything we can to make it work.
Based in the Minneapolis metro, we know the venues, the vibe, and the market. No travel fees within 40 miles across the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin.

Client Reviews
4.9 stars across 44+ verified reviews from real Twin Cities events.
“Ash noticed one of our guests singing along using their drink can as a microphone. Without missing a beat, he handed them a real mic — it turned into a spontaneous karaoke moment that had everyone laughing and cheering all night. So many guests commented on how great the music was. If you're looking for a DJ who's professional, personable, and talented at keeping the vibe just right — Ash is your guy.”
