About Stovetop Productions

Why Couples Trust Stovetop Productions
Weddings are live events.
There are no re-dos, no resets, and no second chances.
That’s why couples choose experience and preparation over guesswork.
17 years of wedding and event experience
Hundreds of weddings guided from ceremony through last dance
Voted Best DJ in Northwest Iowa four years in a row (as voted by readers of the Northwest Iowa Review)
Awards may matter but consistency matters more.
We’ve earned trust by showing up prepared, calm, and intentional every single time.
Our Approach
We believe the best weddings:
Flow naturally
Feel personal, not scripted
Build energy without forcing it
Allow couples to enjoy the moment instead of managing it
That belief shapes everything we do from planning conversations to how we host on the microphone.
We don’t “wing it.”
We plan carefully, listen closely, and guide the experience with confidence so the night unfolds exactly the way it should.
At the end of the day, our goal is simple. We want you to feel confident, comfortable, and fully present.
Meet Lee Stover
Founder & Lead DJ
Stovetop Productions began organically—through a love of music, people, and moments that matter.
What started as helping friends and small events grew into a passion for working weddings across Northwest Iowa and the Midwest. Over time, Lee learned that the difference between a good wedding and a great one isn’t louder music or bigger lights—it’s awareness, timing, and trust.
Today, Lee leads Stovetop Productions with a planning-first mindset and a calm, professional presence on the microphone. His style is intentional and guest-focused—never cheesy, never forced—allowing couples to relax and enjoy their day knowing everything is handled.
Outside of weddings, Lee also creates original music under the name Stovetop, bringing the same creativity and intentionality to his work behind the scenes.
What It’s Like to Work With Us
Couples often tell us:
“We didn’t worry once.”
“Everything flowed perfectly.”
“You just got the room.”
“One of the best decisions we made.”
That experience doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of preparation, communication, and years of guiding live events.
Beyond Weddings
While weddings are the heart of what we do, our experience extends beyond them.
Stovetop Productions also provides professional DJ and hosting services for select schools, private events, and special occasions—bringing the same level of preparation, professionalism, and attention to detail to every event we take on.
That broader experience sharpens our ability to read rooms, manage energy, and perform confidently when the moment matters most.
Ready to See If We’re the Right Fit?
We take a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives our full attention.
If you’re looking for a DJ who will:
Respect the importance of your day
Guide the flow with confidence
Create a night that feels effortless and fun
We’d love to connect.
