Your wedding soundtrack, built around you

Ackerman Events is an Omaha-based wedding DJ and MC service specializing in personalized celebrations across Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa — including multicultural, Indian, and ASL/Deaf-inclusive weddings. Founded by Zach Ackerman in 2019, wedding packages start at $1,000 and include ceremony audio, reception DJ, professional MC, and dance floor lighting.

Your wedding only happens once. Every decision you're making right now — the venue, the flowers, the dress — is about making the day feel exactly like the two of you. Your music should be no different. We don't show up with a preset playlist and call it done. We sit down with you, learn your story, figure out what songs mean something, and build a night that feels unmistakably yours from the processional to the last slow dance.

• Personalized music planning sessions — we actually listen

• Ceremony audio, wireless mics, and music cues

• Cocktail hour and dinner playlists tailored to your vibe

• Grand entrance and all the milestone moments (first dance, parent dances, cake cutting)

• Professional MC who keeps the night flowing without being cheesy about it

• Dance floor lighting that matches the energy in the room

• Photo booth, uplighting, and cold sparks available as add-ons

We specialize in weddings that don't fit one mold. Indian weddings with Bollywood and bhangra playlists. Multicultural celebrations that honor two families and two traditions in one night. Deaf and ASL-inclusive events where every guest — hearing or not — feels fully part of the celebration. If your wedding has layers, we're the DJ who knows how to honor all of them.

We're based in Omaha and serve couples across Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa — Lincoln, Council Bluffs, Bellevue, Papillion, Fremont, and beyond. If you're still deciding whether we're the right fit, reach out. There's no pitch, no pressure — just a conversation about your day.
