Brian's Video

Brian's Bio

My name is Brian Keck. I would first like to thank you for considering me as the DJ for your event. People often ask me why I DJ on the weekends in addition to my job during the week. My answer is simple, I love a great party.

Every job in my life has been in customer service, and being a DJ is no different. I believe to be a successful DJ you have to listen to your customer and give them what they are asking for. That is why I believe my communication with you prior to your party can really help set up the “perfect party.” I want to get to know you and know your expectations for the night prior to the event. The night of your event can be very hectic and everyone wants to pull you different ways. The goal of my communication with you prior to your event is to limit the time I have to take you away from your guests and help make the evening as stress free as possible.

Combining your requests for the evening with my feel for what the crowd wants will leave everyone saying, “the music was perfect!” That is my goal for every party. I love this job because even though every crowd is different everyone there has the same goal, and that is to have fun. I hear people talk about doing things like sky diving and bungee jumping for an adrenaline rush. I get my adrenaline rush from watching a dance floor full of people dancing and singing along to the music.

I would love to have the opportunity to meet you and help make your event memorable. You don’t have to take my word for it, just view some of the things people have said about their party that I was a part of in the testimonials. Hopefully, I will talk to you soon.

Kelley & Jeff – October 20, 2012

“Brian was a wonderful dj, we couldn’t have been more pleased. The whole entire booking process when we dealt with Jeff went so smoothly as well. Out of all the stresses of the wedding planning process, the dj process went by far the smoothest. The online planner was so easy to use, and picking songs was actually easy! When we picked Brian, I knew he would do a wonderful job, and our phone conversations really put me at ease. I have a few more friends that are getting married within the next year and I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound to them. Our wedding went perfect and Brian really made it great, we had people dancing the whole entire night which is something that I really wanted. Thank you so much Sounds Abound!!!”

The guests loved the music choices, and Brian helped us every step of the way to make sure the whole event flowed smoothly. He could not have been more organized and professional. I was so impressed. I’d hire him again if I had to do it all over, cause we truly was so helpful and put us at ease cause he knew what he was doing, and Sounds Abound was so helpful with response time.”

Colleen & Andrew – July 30, 2010

“My wife and I could not have been more pleased with sounds abound and Brian in particular. Almost from the beginning of our event the timeline was off and he adapted to what was going on. He was in constant communication with the two of us making sure we had everything exactly how we wanted it. He knew what to play and when to play it. We are still being told how fun our reception was. We could not have been happier. We will definitely refer anyone we know who needs a DJ. Thank you so much.”

Gina & Mike – July 24, 2010

“We were so incredibly pleased with Brian’s performance at our wedding. Not only was he a great person, but he was very attentive to both of our schedules that night. The wedding was full of people and we didn’t get much time to even be with one another, but the music was exactly what we asked for. We had some odd requests for live versions of specific artists, and Brian and Sounds Abound delivered! You can definitely use us as a reference. We had so many different elements to the wedding, and Sounds Abound was able to provide the equipment! The office was attentive and courteous to all of our requests! Brian did an outstanding job at the wedding. We have been to weddings where the DJ’s are unprofessional, i.e., hitting on guests, acting rude towards requests, and so on. We did not have that problem here! I asked several of our guests how the music was, and they said it was great. We were very specific in what we did and did not want as far as music is concerned, and Brian and Sounds Abound followed in every request. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable Brian!!”

Nora & David – July 17, 2010

“We were very pleased and Brian was very friendly, professional and accommodating. He played non stop music and the crowd was very happy with the choice of songs. Many of our guests commented on what a great job he did playing a wide variety of songs we requested as well as others all at the appropriate times throughout the night.”

Shannon & Joe H – May 22, 2010

“Brian did a great job! He involved the numerous kids at the wedding, played a great mix of music, and checked with us periodically to make sure that our needs were being met. He also shortened our first dance and the father daughter dance with just a raising of the eyebrows–much appreciated! I danced all night and had a great time because of Brian’s music selection. We had many compliments on our music–everyone had a great time.”

Megan & Mike – October 24, 2009

“Brian, Megan and I just wanted to thank you again for a great job on Saturday night. You definitely surpassed all of our expectations with each facet of the entire event.”

Michelle & Jason – September 19, 2009

The minute people stopped dancing he changed the music and the dance floor was packed again. By the end of the evening he even knew a bunch of my guests by names and they thought that was so awesome! My guests are still talking about how much fun they had, and Jason and I had a blast, Brian was great! verything from invitations, to the wedding shop to the DJ and video was great!”

Kelly & Kevin – September 6, 2009

“I did not just go through and mark “excellent” because I felt it was easier, however I would like to give my best to Brian for his excellent performance and outstanding attitude at our wedding. He really took control, got the crowd dancing and overall was the key to a great party. Improvements for the future? You can improve by giving Brian a pay raise.”

Kate & Brett – June 20, 2009

Courtney & David – May 25, 2009

“It was awesome how we coordinated my wedding together. I enjoyed it all. Brian was very helpful in letting me know when things were going to happen during the reception! it was very enjoyable! Thanks!”

Hayley & Paul – April 25, 2009

“We were sold from the first moment we walked in to the shop. We looked through the videos and fell in love with Brian Keck, who we reserved. We got our invitations and a few favors from the shop and not only were they exactly what we were looking for, but the service was great. Everyone was incredibly friendly ever single time we were in there for any reason. I went in with a sore throat and they got me some Sprite when they noticed my laborious swallowing. On two other occasions we were in there for awhile looking at invitations and they did the same thing. It was great to get so much done for the wedding in one place. When it came time to meet with our DJ, Brian Keck, he got us all set up and we were confident about the ceremony and felt prepared-which really put our mind at ease. He was incredibly helpful in filling out the gaps in our song/introduction selections. He really helped us get on track and get this reception planned exactly how we wanted it. The day of the wedding he did not disappoint. He and his assistant were great. Everything went off without a hitch. He was very adaptive to what was going on and kept an entertaining selection that kept people engaged with the event. We didn’t have a lot of dancers in the bunch so he had his work cut out for him. They both offered great support and were good at balancing the desires of the guests, against our desires, and against what probably is reality when it comes to playing songs. First rate service, and a first rate DJ for the night of our weddign. On a personal note I found Brian to be a a very pleasant person and I thought he has a very pleasant voice (which is good for being an MC for the event). I would recommend Brian Keck and Sounds Abound to anyone planning an event and will be doing so.”

Tom Canale CARC Fundraiser – March 7, 2009

“I have many choices for DJ’s and will always ask Brian to come back to our events. Your pricing is fair, he’s a great guy, people like him, I would refer him without hesitation if the opportunity arises, and he is very good at playing a diverse group of songs to a very diverse crowd at our event.”

Suzanne & Kyle – January 24, 2009

“As MOB it was challenging to blend my vision and the vision of the groom. Brian handled a delicate situation with incredible maturity and finesse. He allowed three of us to sound ideas off of him. He allowed the groom’s friend “airtime” without letting things get out of his masterful control. The party was fabulous-guests were thrilled. Music was perfect…. we could not have been more pleased. We had a difficult time choosing from so many dj options but are assured we made the right decision.”

Marian & Jim – January 9, 2009

“You did an excellant job. Brian and Tad were both great and everyone loved the music. I would recommend Sounds Abound to anyone. Thank you for a job well done.”

Bridget & Ryan – December 27, 2008

“We were thrilled with the organization and professionalism that our DJ maintained before and during our wedding. Brian got the party started promptly and smoothly, so that everything fit perfectly into place without a worry from the bride or groom. He found us in the beginning to ask us any pertinent questions and to guide us through the night. He strictly honored all of our song requests- even the “do not play” songs we had restricted that my little siblings were begging him to play (and our elders would’ve been horrified to hear). The music mix was perfect and the dance floor was always full of people dancing their tails off! It was the night of our lives and we owe a huge thank you to our DJ!”

Natalie & Bill – December 6, 2008

“Brian was awesome…he was so easy to work with and totally understood what we wanted for the reception music. He was the perfect mix of behind-the-scenes and on the dance floor getting the guests involved. The phone meeting beforehand put us at ease and we didnt worry at all about pronunciations or any confusions with the intros. He approached us a couple of times throughout the night to see if we wanted any specific songs played and the mix of songs was perfect. He even asked about playing Christmas music along with the style I chose for dinner music. I appreciated that he wanted to make sure it was ok before he did. My sister is getting married in the fall of 09 so we will be calling Brian again! Thank you for everything…our wedding was unforgettable!”

Laura & Michael – October 25, 2008

Kim & Mark – July 26, 2008

“Everything went great! Brian was extremely helpful and so nice to work with. We would definitely recommend him and Sounds Abound to friends. I think a face to face meeting with your DJ the week of the event to go over the final details should be standard. We met with Brian and it was extremely helpful and calmed any fears I had about the DJ and music.”

Rebecca & Chad – July 19, 2008

“Brian was very professional. He even led some of the dancing! Our initial contact with you was the selling point.”

Laurie & Brent – July 12, 2008

“Brian, I just wanted to write and say thank you so much! You did a great job at the wedding and we received SO many compliments about you! Some of my girlfriends are getting married and they asked for your info because you did so good! We had an absolute blast and everything went very smoothly, thank you for being on top of your game!”

Kim & Chris – June 28, 2008

“Sounds Abound exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, we found your website to be incredibly helpful. We were especially pleased with Brian Keck leading up to our wedding day and throughout our reception. He couldn’t have been more polite, pleasant & professional to work with! We were very pleased with his services and those from Sounds Abound. We would definitely recommend the company and Brian to others.”

Emily & Brad – May 31, 2008

Michelle & Jason – October 13, 2007

Laura & Christian – August 11, 2007

“Sounds Abound was probably our only vendor that I had no worries about from the beginning of planning to the wedding day. You guys always had great customer service on the phone, and were even more helpful when we met in person. Brian was so great to work with. We felt like we knew him forever! He was very flexible and respectful in the way he balanced our need to stay on schedule with our desire to socialize with guests. Overall we were extremely happy with Sounds Abound. We also appreciated the convenience of having the Wedding Shop right there, so we could pick up any necessary items/gifts. We will definitely recommend Sounds Abound for any future brides & grooms in the area! Thank you so much!”

Bethany & Ryan – June 15, 2007

“Brian was WONDERFUL! We had people on the dance floor the entire wedding. At 12:30am, when the reception ended, no one wanted to leave. There were at least 100 people still left and wanted to dance more. He did an excellent job knowing what to play and when. He, and the entire Sounds Abound staff were very helpful before and during the wedding. Everyone loved him so much, my sister-in-law is having him DJ at her wedding in December. When wedding planning, everyone told us that the music will make or break your night. It definitely made ours. Thank you for all you did to make our wedding as memorable as it was.”

Christine & Thomas – December 30, 2006

“Everyone had a great time…Brian had such a laid back attitude and was a pleasure to work with. He gave us many good suggestions, things I would have never thought of on my own. He touched base with Tom and I throughout the evening, in a quick and efficient manner. The “Props” that were brought in were a fun touch. It was wonderful to hear from so many guests what a great time the had. My husband does not even like to dance and was tearing up the dance floor that evening! I can’t wait to see the video!! We felt our DJ was one of the most important aspects of the evening and he certainly impressed us. I highly recommend Sounds Abound and Brian to any couple planning a wedding. Thank you for helping to create unforgettable memories.”

April & Jason – October 28, 2006

“Quite possibly the best experience we have had at a reception. And, just to top it off, it was ours! Everyone of our guests have let us know that was the best time at a reception they have had. The music was perfect, we had not even given the DJ our “OK to be played list”! Brian was very polite; all the while not being intrusive in any way, shape , or form. We will always recommend Sounds Abound to all of our friends and family! Especially Brian Keck.”

Melissa & Matthew – August 12, 2006

“We just wanted to thank Sounds Abound for their help in the months before our wedding. We had numerous positive comments on how well the DJ organized the music of the evening and seemed to cater to all age groups. Everything went smoothly and we can’t thank you enough!”

Tara & Kevin – August 20, 2005

“Brian was Fabulous! I’ve had several individuals comment on how great our DJ was. I would refer him to everyone! Things went smoothly that night largely because of Brian. I can’t say enough good things about him and our whole Sounds Abound experience! Thanks so much – It was wonderfull!!!”

Melissa & Joseph -August 6, 2005

“Brian was a very nice person to deal with. He was very nice and took all of our requests seriously. We were both very impressed with the job he did. We also got very good compliments about him from our guests. We would use your company again!”

Karen & Ian – July 16, 2005

“We had attended several weddings where the entertainment was provided by you guys so we knew it was going to be great. Brian did a great job from the intros till the end of the night. He kept it lively even without a lot of the typical wedding songs that we didn’t want to hear. We like a pretty wide variety of music and he got a little bit of everythinig in there. Thanks Brian for helping to make our wedding fun for everyone!”

Becky & Matt -July 9, 2005

“Brian did an outstanding job! He kept the dance floor packed the entire night. I received many compliments after the event about what a great job he did. And, he played all music we requested.
