What Clients Say About Doug
Hands Down Recommend TONY HO!
Tony called me periodically starting months before the wedding making sure all my questions were answered and I knew what to expect. The days leading up he went over the schedule with me, the songs, introductions, pronunciations of names, etc. It put my mind at ease that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I had so many people come up to me and tell me what an amazing DJ we had chosen! The songs were perfect, they were played at the just the right times. It was a nonstop party. Even my 80 year old grandmother was out on the dance floor towards the end of the night. Usually she goes home after dinner, but she stayed till the end! People who had their wedding the weeks and months prior to mine came up to me and told me that our DJ did a fantastic job and they wish they would have known about him! Tony kept the party going and looked like he had so much fun doing what he loves to do. It is now 3 days after the wedding and I am still getting texts and e-mails saying what a blast people had and I know its because we had a great DJ. One friend even said “I run 26 miles and I don’t hurt, I go home after the night of your wedding and my feet are killing me because I danced so much, the music was fantastic!”. I hands down recommend Tony Ho as your wedding DJ, you will have the time of your life! Definitely a wedding to remember.
Most Amazing MC & DJ!
Matt You were the most amazing MC & DJ for our wedding – thank you so much for everything! You were so effortless to work with and our wedding was perfect! From the ceremony that flowed so beautifully- to our intro’s at the reception, and everyone dancing all night long – it was such a blast! We couldn’t have had the best wedding ever without you! Thank you!
10 Full Stars
We had an amazing experience with our DJ Matt. He made everything so easy and just so amazing! He knew what to do at all times. Didn’t have to be hunting him down at all. We gave him our notes and he took that into consideration and just did an excellent job! I would recommend him to any wedding, family party, graduation. You call it. I’ll make sure to keep his information on file for whenever we might need him again! 1O full stars.
Matt is an AMAZING MC & DJ
From the booking process, to the day of, and all the planning in between, Sounds Abound had great communication making the whole music selecting process easy and stress free! The platform to add songs helped with organization and planning on your own time. Matt was an amazing MC and DJ and we received many compliments from guests as well on music selection, both during dinner and songs to dance to after. We cannot thank Matt and Sounds Abound enough for helping make our wedding unforgettable! The organization, communication, professionalism, efficiency and level of fun is truly unmatched!! Highly recommend Matt and Sounds Abound for wedding entertainment!
Matt Ammons was Excellent!
We worked with Matt Ammons through Sounds Abound and he did an excellent job as our DJ. The dance floor was packed, he did a great job announcing our wedding party, and played a wonderful variety of music. We also rented a photobooth through Sounds abound which was a lot of fun for our guests. We can’t recommend this service enough!
Cannot recommend Sounds Abound Enough
One of our main goals for our reception was that the dance floor was never empty. Matt made sure that was the case. Once your reception starts, it is hard to keep an eye on the clock to make sure you stay on schedule. Matt was great at keeping us on track so that way we had plenty of time for dancing. Sounds Abound uses an online portal which makes planning songs for your ceremony and reception so easy. We cannot recommend Sounds Abound enough!
Fun, Energetic, & Great to Work With
Sounds Abound and more specifically Matt Ammons were fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their online planning tool is easy to use and helpful to organize all your music needs for the big day. Matt was fun, energetic, and great to work with. He knew how to keep the dance floor full by playing to the crowd we had along with mixing in our favorites. Matt even went so far to timing our walk in music perfectly without us even telling him. I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound for any DJ needs, and especially Matt!
Best DJ Company for your Event!
From start to finish Sounds Abound was hands down the best DJ company to work with. They walked you through all their options and how to work their client portal. They sent us links to the DJ’s so we could see some of their work in action in order to pick the best one for our wedding. Matt did a terrific job and I am so glad we picked him. He helped keep the night flowing and the energy going. Seriously the best DJ and best company for your event!
The Perfect Choice
We chose Sounds Abound company for our DJ for our wedding at the Haight. It was the best decision we could have made. Not only was everything perfect Matt set the fun wild mood of our family and friends. Matt was so personable and perfect for our special day. He had been to the Haight for multiple weddings before so he was also familiar with setup and all that. We had a great time. We also used him for my husbands sisters wedding years back. It was a great time. Sounds Abound was a perfect choice. Thank you for making our special day as amazing as we hoped!
Sounds Abound was GREAT!
Sounds Abound was GREAT! They were professional, friendly, and flexible. Our DJ Matt was so helpful on the day of our wedding. He kept the party going and seemed to know exactly what I wanted to hear! Our photo booth was a hit. Sounds Abound brought the party!
Highly Recommend Matt
Matt Ammons was an amazing DJ for our wedding, he was professional, personable, and really knew how to read a room. He was passionate about the music that was played and made the reception just that much more of an amazing experience. I highly recommend Matt for future weddings!
Matt is the BEST DJ!
Matt is the best DJ! He was so on top of executing the timeline of our wedding, we barely had to do a thing! He played all of our favorite songs, as well as not playing our favorites. Before our event, Matt met with me and made sure to get every detail. He also MC’d the night as well, making annoucements and introductions. He was very friendly and our guests loved his personality, it was like he was a normal guest at our wedding. The pricing was good and I would gladly have Matt DJ for us again!
Matt Ammons was a PERFECT Fit
Our wedding was up in Harvard IL and although Sounds Abound is located in Naperville IL, after we experienced them at afamily wedding last year, I knew I needed to book with them! Surprisingly, they had one of best value pricewise in comparison to some of the DJ’s closer to our area, which made them a no brainer. We chose Matt Ammons as our DJ, and he was a PERFECT fit. He was patient and fun and kept the vibe up all night. He knew which songs to play to keep the current group on the dance floor, and accommodated music requests as long as they fit the vibe. I even received a number of compliments on the DJ, and a few requests for information on the company – and that’s when you know you’ve found a good one. They also offer photo booth options. We chose the social booth as it was the best value for the price, and you get it all night long, which is exactly what I wanted! Overall, a fantastic experience with Sounds Abound – and specifically Matt Ammons. I highly recommend them and will continue to give out their information to anyone who asks. Book them – you won’t regret it!
Matt was PHENOMENAL!!
Matt was our DJ for our wedding and he was phenomenal!! Our dance floor was packed all night and he was super flexible! We got a ton of compliments from guests. They are definitely a great company to work with for your big day!
Great Atmosphere and Fantastic Job
We recently worked with Matt Ammons as our wedding DJ from Sounds Abound. Matt did an absolutely fantastic job as our DJ, and we couldn’t be happier with how the night went! He kept things moving throughout the evening and worked really well with our photographer. Our guests really enjoyed the atmosphere he created for the cocktail hour and during dinner. Since our wedding was on a Sunday, a number of guests couldn’t stay for much of the dancing, but for those who could, Matt kept us energized and on our feet until the very end. We would highly recommend him if you are looking for a DJ for your special event. Matt’s assistant for the evening was Vince, who also ran our photo booth from Sounds Abound. Our guests loved the photobooth and left us a lot of fun and funny images for our guest book. Overall, Sounds Abound was a pleasure to work with—friendly, communicative, and flexible, and we would highly recommend them! Thank you all so much!
Absolutely Fantastic
We are very happy to have retained Sounds Abound and specifically DJ Matt Ammons for our wedding! Making specific requests of Sounds Abound via their tool was easy, especially as our first dance song changed twice, and Matt himself was absolutely fantastic night of even with our very small guest list of somewhat older folks who are more accustomed to “Shout” than “Get Low”. Matt and Sounds Abound rolled with it, were prompt and professional, and I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone getting married.
Phenomenal Job!!
We got married 4 months ago & still have people commenting about how fun the wedding was thanks to the music. The music kept people on their feet all night! Matt Ammons was our DJ and he did a phenomenal job at reading the audience. We didn’t make too many requests and let him do his thing & were not disappointed. Thank you! Wish we could do it 100 more times!
Matt was WONDERFUL
Matt was our DJ/MC and he was wonderful. He met with us a month before the wedding to discuss everything in detail. He also answered any and all questions I had. The whole staff at Sounds Abound were fantastic. Got so many compliments on our wedding music. I couldn’t be happier with them!
Best Days of our Lives
Thank you so much for DJing our wedding! It was one of the best days of our lives, and you truly captured the music vibes we were going for. We received so many compliments on the music from our family and friends. Nobody wanted to get off of the dance floor! INCLUDING US! The dance floor vibes were absolute perfection.
Very Thankful
Nate and I are so happy that we went with your company for DJ/photobooth services! Matt, our DJ, and the photobooth assistant did such an amazing job and we received many compliments on our wedding night! They both helped make the night such a memorable, special experience from the time of our ceremony to the end of our reception! We are very thankful we hired your company, and will recommend you guys to anyone else we know.
Highly Recommend Matt Ammons
Our venue recommend Sounds Abound to us as one of their recommended DJs and we are so thankful they did!! The whole process of booking a DJ through Sounds Abound was extremely easy, and honestly one of the easiest parts of our wedding! On the Sounds Abound platform, they make it super easy for you to choose the must play songs, songs you also like, and songs you don’t want – they also have a great section to choose what type of genre you want for dinner and cocktail hour (which I hadn’t even thought of!). Highly recommend Matt Ammons – he is the BEST. We honestly didn’t pick a whole lot of songs (mostly focused on must play songs), but he understood the crowd and played songs for everyone! The older folks were dancing and the younger crowd loved the music as well! We got SO many compliments and quite a few “Where’d you find this guy?? I LOVE him” comments. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ/MC for our wedding. 12/10 would recommend Matt Ammons and Sounds Abound!
Tony Coix was OUTSTANDING!
Tony Coix, our DJ, was outstanding! His truly sincere interest in the success of our wedding reception was real and genuine. From the first dance to the last dance the floor was filled. Many friends and family mentioned that this was the best reception they had been to….a true testament to Tony and his partner. Although we selected every song from Sounds Abounds’ extensive library, Tony mixed them together superbly. Tony was always asking if there was anything we needed and was very attentive to our requests. I would highly recommend Tony for any event.
Music Selection was SOOOO Good
The music selection was so good it kept the dance floor full almost all night. People from the room next door came over to dance and even the hall staff commented to me on how good our DJ was. Thanks!!!!
Exceelent DJ and Personable
Tony was an excellent DJ for our wedding and he was very personable. He delivered everything we wanted to a tee!!!
Tony was Supurb!
Tony was supurb! The music he selected fit everyone’s tastes. We enjoyed him and his assistant. Plus we will pass his name to others that are looking for a DJ.
Unforgettable!!!
We saw Tony Coix DJ at a friend’s wedding and we made the decision right then and there that we wanted him to do ours. We booked him about a year in advance. He lived up to all of our high expectations. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and we have received nothing but positive feedback from all of our guests. We would definitely recommend Sounds Abound to anyone who inquires to us about a DJ, but more specifically we would recommend Tony Coix. Tony, thank you for making our special day even more unforgettable!!!
Tony was AMAZING!!!
Tony was amazing!!! He helped make our wedding unforgettable and added to our happiness. The music selection was perfect and he was a total professional.
Incorporated My Music Perfectly
Tony Coix did a wonderful job. He incorporated my preferences for my music perfectly.
Two Cultures Represented so Well
Wow, we are so impressed with how well Tony did at the wedding. We had two different cultures represented at the wedding and we couldn’t be happier with how well Tony mixed up the songs – the dance floor was packed all night long! We received numerous compliments from our guests on how much fun they had dancing and we will be sure to recommend Sounds Abound to any newly engaged friends. Thank you for providing wonderful service from start to finish.
Great Mix of Latin & American Music!
We loved the company. From the very beginning we felt Sounds Abound offered everything we needed and were never trying to over-sell us anything (which is very common during wedding preparation). Tony was great. He knows how to keep people on the dance floor all night long. He did a great job about mixing Latin and American music. We were extremely happy about our choice!
Tony Made the Night
Tony was awesome!!!!!! The dance floor was constantly packed and I was dancing the whole time. I also had about five people tell me that this was the best wedding they have ever been too. Tony deserves a raise because he seriously made the night. Thank you so much!!!! I was more than satisfied overall so just keep doing what you’re doing.
Both Sides of the Family Enjoyed
Very happy with our DJ Tony and loved that he is bilingual and made things so much easier for us and both sides of the family were content and enjoyed the music. I can not express how happy we are with the turnout and once again Tony was awesome.
Tony Coix was Absolutely Great!
Tony Coix was absolutely great ! He really kept the party moving. He sure knows how to keep the music flowing. What a great time he made it.
Tony Coix speaks SPANISH too!
I definitely recommend Sounds Abound. We used their services for our reception and everything turned out just wonderful! Tony Coix was our D.J. and he was excellent. We were able to choose the music from the Sounds Abound website and had options for ‘Must Play’, ‘Additional songs’, and Do Not Play. He played all of the music that we picked out / suggested, and was a great MC for the night. He also speaks Spanish and that was very helpful as he could pronounce my husband’s last name correctly (my husband is Cuban). We also had a photo booth and the attendant was friendly and helpful. He even let me add some of my own props. We also had the up lighting. We were happy with everything, and having an entire Banquet room in purple really made the night extra special !!!
Definetely Recommend!
We booked Sounds Abound for our wedding and got the chance to work with DJ Tony Coix! From the beginning, the Sounds Abound team was great. Working with Tony was super easy and he really took the time to understand what we wanted. He helped us put our timeline and schedule together and made recommendations that worked well for us. He was great at the wedding, kept the audience entertained and he was so energetic. Definitely recommend!!
Utmost Professionals
It is really awesome that a company comes along and holds value for the client. It sounds like common sense but you would be surprised! After much searching I bumped into a place that plays my type of music which is essential to something that is supposed to celebrate a person. The offices were great at answering questions and requests and the DJ, Tony and assistant were the utmost professionals. I would recommend this company based on its workers alone.
English, Spanish, & just so PERFECT!
Our wedding with you guys made everything so perfect! We felt it was an easy decision to use your services for the wedding and we have no regrets! We picked Tony Coix as our DJ being he was able to announce in both English and Spanish. He was attentive and agreed to meet with us on two occasions before the wedding and listened to what we wanted. From the ceremony set up, everyone was able to hear. Reception music was EXACTLY what we were looking for as well!! Everyone who stayed to dance had a great time and there was music for everyone. The best part of the night was when my husband and I were the only ones on the dance floor when everyone was already gone, and Tony our DJ played a few more songs. It was a great moment for just us two and i will never forget it! Thank you again!
Tony Coix was AMAZING
Tony Coix was our DJ and he was amazing. He was very easy to work with, early to ensure set up was done prior to the ceremony & the music selection was endless. Tony was very easy to get a hold of and made sure all the small details we requested were taken care of We highly recommend working with this company, you will not be disappointed.
Highly Recommend DJ Tony Coix!
From the start to end communication was fantastic!!! All the team are very helpful and professional!!! Our DJ Tony followed all the schedule for our special day! People dance all night! We highly recommend It! Highly recommend DJ Tony Coix!
Tony Coix was a Perfect Fit
Sounds Abound made the planning process so easy with their online planner and payment system. But I have to say that DJ Tony Coix was a perfect fit for our wedding. He made an excellent MC during introductions and toasts, he handled the special dances and dedications with great care, but I was most impressed that our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE time. There were people that never left the dance floor, and I’ve never seen that at a wedding. Myself and my husband couldn’t have had more fun! He matched our energy and the energy of the room.
Highly Recommend to any Family & Friends
We used Sounds Abound and DJ Tony Coix for our wedding, and we could not have been happier with the results! The office team at Sounds Abound was timely with their responses (even if i wasn’t) and was easy to work with. Tony was able to take our vast taste in music to put together a wonderful reception. His ability to read the room kept the dance floor full all evening! I would highly recommend Sounds Abound and Tony Coix to any family or friends.
Welll Planned!!
We had an amazing time at the wedding- Steve was awesome and really got the party started! He was well-planned and made the entire evening care-free for myself and my husband. It was a night we will never forget and we are so grateful!
Available for Anything I Needed!
Steve not only provided his DJing services but he was also available for anything I needed the night of my wedding. If I needed something or someone all I had to do was let him know and he got the job done
Steve was WONDERFUL!
Eveything was great from helping us pick out songs and Steve was wonderful! Everyone had a blast and commented on how nice our DJ was and the great selection of songs. Kept the guests dancing! We had a few requests for songs not normally played at weddings, but Steve fit them into the night perfectly! People are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. I will definitely recommend Sounds Abound and Steve! Thanks again for making our wedding a wonderful event!
Packed Dance Floor the Entire Night
Our wedding ended up being AMAZING – Steve did such a fantastic job; our dance floor was completely packed the entire night. To the point where the last hour or so people were dancing around the dance floor because it was so full. We got so many compliments on how great the music was. We cannot thank him enough for making himself available to us!!
Absolutely Perfect!
Steve and team from Sounds Abound Created an amazing atmosphere for us for my daughter’s event – they got everyone dancing, playing games and having fun – they were perfect!
Personality Lit Up the Space
Steve Drews was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! He met with us in person prior to the wedding to get to know Jeff and I and learned more about what we were looking for. The entire evening he was on point! He kept the crowd on the dance floor from start to finish! It was so amazing to see how music really made people come alive! His personality lit up the space. We will for sure use him in the future! XOXO
Calming Presence!
Steve Drews was awesome at our wedding!! Everyone had a blast and he is such a fun, kind and calming presence!! Thanks Steve!
Upbeat , Contagious, & Fun Personality
Steve Drews did a simply fabulous job for us at our wedding reception!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about his upbeat personality, style, communication skills and professionalism throughout the evening! I would recommend Sounds Abound to anyone who wants to have a simply rocking reception for their wedding. Steve’s suggestions, organization and contagious fun personality were a gift and my guests and family couldn’t be happier with the outcome!!
100% Recommend
We absolutely loved having Steve DJ our wedding. He was so wonderful to work with and kept our dance floor going all night!! Sound was perfect and he did great uplighting as well! He was very professional and was just helpful with coordinating anything and everything we needed. We would 100% recommend him!
Recommend without Hesitation!
Sounds Abound and especially our DJ, Steve Drews, were a joy to work with for our wedding reception! They were professional and flexible when our plans changed. Their pricing was super reasonable, and there were no surprises or hidden fees. Steve kept all of our guests on the dance floor and made sure everyone had a great time. We would definitely recommend them without hesitation for anyone in need of a DJ. Thanks again, Sounds Abound!
Fun & Energetic Voice!
We hired Steve from Sounds Abound from our wedding off of a recommendation and it was the best decision! Steve kept the dance floor alive! There was never a dull moment. His fun and energetic voice really kept the guests engaged at the reception. He made sure we heard all our favorite songs! I highly recommend Steve and the rest of the Sounds Abound staff for your wedding.
Pure Entertainment and so Authentic!
We celebrated our big day and are so grateful we had the support and entertainment of Sounds Abound! DJ Steve and Tony Ho were there to help capture our best moments with sound and music provided during what turned out to be a rather funny ceremony, our first dance, all the way to the last dance. It was pure entertainment and so authentic. DJ Steve was amazing and took time to meet with us well over an hour two weeks prior to our event and texted with us along the way to make sure the day went off without any hiccups. He offered great solutions and support to the growing timeline. We also appreciated the site used by Sounds Abound as it has a software built in that made planning your whole day of music so simple and organized. Everyone enjoyed the music, the lights and felt like we had known Sounds Abound well in advance of our big day. They really went above and beyond to make it a special day and a packed dance floor. Thank you DJ Steve, Tony and Sounds Abound! For anyone planning their big day and in need a DJ service, look no further than Sounds Abound!
Strongly Recommend Nick!!
Nick was a great guy to work with. My wife and I were very impressed with his professionalism and courtesy towards us from start to finish. He met with us regularly, beginning over a year prior to the wedding date. His equipment was perfect for the event and the space and he made sure to come in prior to the date to ensure everything was working properly on his end. He was cooperative with our coordinator and maintained communication with her also. During our wedding, he took all requests, kept the room energized and lively with his music selections and respected all guests’ wishes. We strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ who can accommodate for either very specific tastes, no preferences, or anywhere in between.”
A True Delight & Absolute Gem!
DJ Ray Jones was a true delight! An absolute gem and professional to work with, DJ Ray went above and beyond my expectations. He did everything to ensure my mother surprise (51st) party was a huge success – he even connected with my dad on the side to coordinate a remake of their first dance from their wedding 30 YEARS AGO! HOW SWEET. Couldn’t be happier having him as our DJ for the evening. Highly recommend!
Classy, Professional, & Incredibly Friendly with an Awesome Voice
Highly recommended! We loved working with sounds abound, and our DJ Ray. They helped us stay organized with song selections, and were very professional. On the big day, we really enjoyed the party with our DJ. He arrived in classy attire, and was professional and incredibly friendly. He kicked off the party, and kept it going until last call. We really wanted a DJ that wasn’t going to be on the mic the entire night talking, but rather just jamming and having fun with us. Ray did just that, but make no mistake when he was on the mic doing introductions and keeping the night organized, he has an awesome voice. We had a blast, and would highly recommend this company and Ray.
Extremely Responsive
Ray was extremely responsive over email and made sure to follow up with me multiple times to make sure all was set for our party. He connected directly with the venue, which was a huge help to me, and was so fun throughout the night!! Our guests had a blast dancing to his music all night. Thank you so much Ray, for making our night so special!!
Accomodating and Reassuring
Ray was amazing as our wedding entertainment. From our first meeting, he was professional and organized. He took the time to get to know us as a couple so that he could provide us with a personalized experience. Through it all, Ray was accommodating and reassuring. He is truly a man of his word. On our wedding day he showed up early and ready to work. If you hire him for your event you will not be disappointed. Thanks Ray!
Truly the Best!
How special was it to have such a nice DJ for our wedding? We got super lucky when we picked DJ Ray. He chose a nice diverse selection of music and he also MC the entire wedding. I am not sure how the wedding would have flowed without him. We plan to rehire him for any other events because he was truly the best.
DJ Ray Jones Crushed It
Highly recommend! We hired Sounds Abound and chose DJ Ray Jones for our big day and we could not be happier that we did. Ray is very friendly, personable, professional, and knows how to create a really fun atmosphere. Everyone at our wedding had nothing but amazing things to say about him. The platform they use is very organized for song choices and Ray crushed it. Overall, I would highly recommend working with Sounds Abound and specifically, DJ Ray Jones!
The Best
Excellent job! He provided the best music which set the tone for the entire reception! He is the best so if you want the best. go with Ray Jones!
You Need Ray Jones in your Life!
As I was reviewing DJ videos to select a DJ for our wedding, I found Ray Jones. Instantly, I knew he was the one for us. Even if you’re not getting married or have an event, he just seems like a guy you need in your life!! After finally talking with him on the phone, I knew I was right. He is so personable, kind, and hilarious! He cured all my pre-wedding reception jitters by just talking to us. I knew he could be trusted with making our reception into a party. Come wedding day, he was perfect!! The music during our outdoor ceremony and microphones were set up without issues, and everyone in our 180-person wedding could hear our vows. He moved the reception along nicely and when it came time for dancing, he got EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, up to the dance floor. He will involve all the guests in celebrating and dancing. At one point, he started a conga line!! He even let me go behind the DJ set up and let me “spin’: I have never had more fun in my life!! His music choices were perfect and played all our favorites and knew what songs to play to keep the party going. We shut it down!! Ray Jones is the DJ you need in your life!!!
Energy & Kindness are Incredible
We had Ray Jones as our DJ for our wedding night at the Herrington Inn & Sp, and to say he was amazing is an understatement. Ray was great with communication before, during, and after the wedding. He helped us give him a better idea of what music we were looking to hear, and he was extremely easy to work with. Not only was his playlist spot on, but his energy he brought to the wedding and kindness was incredible. We had multiple people that celebrated with us that night that endlessly complimented Ray and the incredible job he did. One of my good friends texted me the day after the wedding and said, “I felt like the playlist was made for me.” Everyone was dancing the entire night and having a great time on the dance floor and Ray was one of the biggest contributors to making that happen. Again, his energy and excitement were contagious and made everyone feel welcomed to the dance floor and excited to be out there. Thank you again Ray and we highly recommend him to everyone!
Definetely Recommend
Sounds Abound was very professional and easy to work with. Ray Jones was the DJ at our wedding. He kept the party going all night long! You can tell he really loves what he does! All of our friends and family were raving about how great of a job Ray did. Would definitely recommend this company and Ray to others!
We LOVE RAY JONES!
We had the BEST time with Ray Jones as our DJ for our wedding!!! From the moment we booked with Sounds Abound, they made the entire experience so easy and fun. The company is incredibly responsive, answering questions as needed and also sending out reminders when you get closer to your wedding date. The online planner was easy to use and really helped us get our music organized before the big day.
Our first meeting with Ray was on a phone call and we loved him from that moment!!! Ray is enthusiastic, welcoming, flexible, and passionate about what he does. We knew from that phone call that his fun and lighthearted spirit would be the perfect match for our NYE wedding. Ray is truly a pro; our wedding was at the Joliet Union Station Grand Ballroom (dream venue!) which has some acoustic challenges due to the stone walls/ceilings/floors and echo. Ray had worked the venue before, and he worked so hard that night to constantly balance the sound so that all speeches and music could be heard. He did an excellent job at reading the room all night and played an exceptional range of music, from our must listens to guest requests, and much else in between!! He made sure the dance floor was packed all night. We also had the privilege of having Ray’s wife as the assistant, who was also incredible. All of the music, from cocktail hour, to dinner, to the reception, was a perfect mix. The flow of the evening was impeccable!
We would highly recommend Sounds Abound and especially Ray to anyone getting married. They are a professional company who work so hard to make sure your wedding is the best party/exactly what you want!
Kept Everyone Dancing All Night!!
Sounds Abound did a wonderful job at our wedding! They were very easy and professional to work with. Our DJ was Ray Jones and he kept everyone dancing all night! We also did an open air Photo Booth through Sounds Abound. Tony designed the background for us to match our invitation. Our guests absolutely loved it!
BEST DJ/MC
Ray Jones was the BEST DJ/MC to work with! Since the moment we talked to him on the phone when trying to find our DJ/MC, we knew right away he would be the perfect match for us. He has strong energy and truly cares about his job. Ray also was very flexible, especially when making a few changes to our original song selections for the bridal party and bride/groom entrance. We also used the photo booth with Sounds Abound, and our guests loved it! Sounds Abound in general is very organized (by sending reminder e-mails about surveys to complete and to payment reminder), plus everything is easily accessible by an online website. I would highly recommend working with Ray and the Sounds Abound team!
10 Stars All the Way
Our DJ MC Mr. Ray Jones blew our expectations out of the park! My wife and I have a very diverse taste in music and he was so accommodating! Very professional and beyond personable. All the transitions through the wedding were so smooth and our special requests were accomplished with some pizzaz thanks to Ray. I can not express how much of an amazing job Ray did! 10 stars all the way!
Above & Beyond
To say this company is the most down to earth company I worked with during my wedding experience would be an understatement! From the moment I reached out, I knew I would be in good hands. Tony Ho, the owner, responded to most of my initial emails promptly and with great detail, at times anticipating my follow up questions and providing answers prematurely (my bridal brain thanks you for this). The office staff (Nicole) kept in contact with me from then on. They sent reminder and confirmation emails about payments which eased my mind, followed up to make sure all my questions were answered, and always checked in along the way. On our wedding day, Ray Jones went above and beyond! He was actually the very first person to greet my bridesmaids and I outside the venue even! I could tell he had already spent time to familiarize himself with the grooms and groomsmen too because everyone was immediately comfortable around him. Ray called me a few days before the wedding to go over pronunciation of names, song requests, and timeline, and showed up with all his own equipment on the day of-including lights and microphones. Everything ran so smoothly and Ray had a way of catering to all our guests no matter the age while also ensuring that he met our needs as a couple. His talent and passion truly shows through to his work. This company as a whole truly loves what they do and it shows. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding or event and an incredibly personalized experience along the way. Thanks so much to the team for all that you do!
Such a Fun DJ
DJ Ray was such a fun DJ for us to have at our big day! He got all of the guests involved and kept the dance floor going! Would work with DJ Ray and Sounds Abound again!
Commanded the Room Perfectly!
DJ RayJones has been the best DJ I have ever seen at a wedding. He blended a wide range of music genres perfectly. He commanded the room of almost 150 people without breaking a sweat. He kept the party up on a high energy level from ceremony to reception to last song!!! He played every special request perfectly!
Above & Beyond what we Expected
The wedding was such an amazing time and DJ Ray was so helpful with everything. It was more than what we asked for. He went above and beyond what we expected. Would recommend him to everyone getting married.
High Praise for Ray!
My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Ray Jones and Sounds Abound. From the moment we began planning our wedding, one of our top priorities was finding a DJ and MC who would not only make our guests feel welcomed, but also make them shake their butts! Ray gets top marks on both counts. He understood our vibe from the beginning, and got our crowd on their feet from the first entrance to the last dance. Several of our guests told us that the dance floor was more full than they’d ever seen at a reception — which is high praise for Ray and his commitment to his craft. We’re so grateful, and thrilled to recommend him.
Highly Recommend Working with Ray
You ROCK Brian!!
Brian from Sounds Abound did a phenomenal Job at our wedding. One week prior to the wedding we set up a time to go over our song list and other details of the night. He went over all of the details and even gave some suggestions for some of the ‘sticky situations’ we were expecting. Brian did a great job with the ceremony music out on the patio and was quick to set up the music for the cocktail hour and dinner immediately following. Throughout the night, he kept everyone on the dance floor and having a great time!! Never once was the dance floor even close to being empty! Thanks again, Brian!! You ROCK!!
So Patient & Professional
We had a wonderful day! Brian at Sounds Abound was so patient and professional! He was prepared and organized and kept our wedding flowing. He was such a fantastic DJ, and an overall great guy. We would recommend Brian Keck from Sounds Abound anytime.
Cannot Recommend Enough!
We used Sounds Abound for our DJ and Photobooth for our wedding. Our DJ Brian was awesome! He kept the party going and was in constant communication with my husband and I to make sure we were happy and having a good time. People were up and dancing as soon as dinner was over and kept dancing till the very last song. Everyone I have talked to has said it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!
A Definite Recommend
DJ Brian played music for both our wedding ceremony and reception. He was kind and courteous to my wife and I both during the planning process as well as the big day itself He made sure to stick to the playlist during the reception, as well as adhered to every special request we put in for music during both ceremony and reception. My wife and I were very happy working with both Brian and Sounds Abound, and would definitely recommend anyone else to do so.
Above & Beyond
Brian – you went above and beyond! From your work at the rehearsal, through the ceremony and the reception, you were amazing! Our ceremony was exactly what we had hoped it would be, from the Pachelbel-Rockelbel processional to the custom background for our vocalists. You were so nice, easy to work with, attentive, patient, on point, funny, and put out a wonderful mix at the reception.
Brian Keck was AWESOME!
Brian K. was awesome! He was very professional, knowledgeable, and his selection of songs was perfect for our guests. He did a great job of MC’ing the reception and was very accommodating of our preferences, including last minute changes. I would highly recommend him to others!
Such a Memorable Night!
We had Brian DJ our wedding from Sounds abound and could not have been happier! There were a few last minute changes we had to make to the original spreadsheet we went over with him due to an illness & Brian made sure everything went smoothly. Our friends and family have been raving all weekend about the music and how awesome the DJ was. My little brother is very into music & Brian was chatting with him about DJ/NG. Its really being so personable & fun that is rare to find these days. All of my close friends have used sounds abound for their weddings and we could not have been happier. Brian knew when to play the right songs at the right moments. He personally sent me a video of all of our close family & friends singing around us at the end of the night. Thank you so much for such a memorable night!
An Awesome Job
We had Brian Keck DJ our wedding. He did an awesome job. My wife was more involved in setting up the music and we also gave Brian a little freedom to play the music he thought would be best depending on the crowd and dance floor. I was pleasantly surprised how smooth everything went. Brian Keck gets 515 stars and my recommendation.
Absolutely Awesome!
We had Brian Keck as our DJ for our second reception in Chicago. We had gotten married out of state and then had a Chicago party. We were at Cress Creek. Everything was included except the DJ. We picked Sounds Abound because their website included sample videos of their DJs which was very helpful. We chose Brian because he had the vibe wewere going for. This was a fancy party with several older relatives. He contacted us a few times before the wedding to understand what we were looking for and he paid attention. I told him the types of music we like and that it was a slightly more sophisticated crowd. At some point I happened to mention that I don’t like country music except Garth Brooks and my husband likes Elvis Presley, but I don’t. Brian wonderfully snuck in some of the best of those songs throughout the night. It was awesome to hear them mixed in and we each felt like we got what we wanted. Brian was there and set up before we arrived. He checked in with us throughout the night. He even checked with us to see if I had taken my husband’s name before he said it. So conscientious. Plenty of people of all ages danced the night away. Absolutely awesome!
Truly Flawless & Professional
Brian, Thank you for your amazing work! You did afabulous job, and we know it wasn’t easy! Between the aunts and uncles song suggestions, all the coordinating with the dinner schedule, etc. you handled everything flawlessly, and so professionally. We truly appreciate you being a part of our day.
Absolutely Phenomenal
Brian was absolutely phenomenal. He added to the quality of our wedding with his suggestions of music and organization. We met with him, and he asked pertinent questions concerning our likes and dislikes as well as the make-up of our guests at the reception. He learned the correct pronunciations of the wedding party and made suggestions on how to enhance our wedding. Very importantly we wanted a specific Christian song to be played during the groom/daughter dance. Brian on his own found the song and added it to his repertoire. Our guests complimented us on selecting Sounds Abound. We can’t say how pleased we were by following the recommendations of others to select Sounds Abound and now we are recommending others to follow in our shoes and select Sounds Abound for their special occasion.
So Lucky to get Brian!
Where to even begin! We were so lucky to get Brian as our DJ. He was so easy to talk to prior to the wedding and understood all the requests we had and had some ideas to share with us as well. He knew we wanted a lot of 80s and 90s music, and he delivered that perfectly. We also had a lot of kids and teenagers at the wedding, and he knew how to get them involved and took their requests, like we asked him to do. We had compliments on the music all night long from so many guests. The dance floor was always busy, even for our smaller wedding. I cannot thank Brian and Sounds Abound enough for making our wedding reception so much fun.
Such an Awesome DJ!!
Brian was such an awesome DJ!! The music was exactly what we wanted, and he made sure to check in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was going smoothly and to make sure we didn’t have any more requests. Sounds Abound was easy to work with from the beginning and very responsive to emails/any questions we had. Would absolutely recommend them!
Fantastic!!!
Allan and I had our wedding and we had Brian Keck as our DJ and he was fantastic!!! He was professional, fun, patient, and an overall good time! We got so many compliments throughout the night about how awesome he was! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ! Thank you so much, Brian!
Professional Attentive, & Caring!
I just wanted to say how amazing Brian was for my wedding. Brian was very professional, attentive, and caring throughout the planning and wedding. We loved that we were able to customize specific things for how we wanted our music and night to flow and Brian was able to deliver. We cannot thank Brian and Sounds Abound for making our night so special and one to remember! I would recommend this entertainment company and specifically Brian to anyone who is looking for an awesome and fun DJ to work with.
Highly Recommend
This company was recommended to us by two friends that were married before us. They came highly recommended and did not disappoint. They were in great communication with us from the start and listened to what we wanted for our special night. They played a lot of the songs were really wanted and did a great job of reading the crowd. Brian was our DJ. He could tell when we needed to play more slow or fast songs and did a great job of playing what we wanted. He also checked in with us to see if we needed anything and made himself available to us. Brian and Tony did amazing and we would recommend them for any event!
Friendly & Professional
Brian was wonderful! He was friendly, professional and made sure we had discussed all day-of details in advance so we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day. My husband and I felt confident that Brian would do a great job and he exceeded our expectations! He read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night long. He was really great about accommodating our last minute requests, too! We would recommend Brian for any of your special occasions
DJ Brian Delivered!
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!!!
Brian is a Great Choice
Sounds Abound provided great DJ and lighting service for our wedding. They were very responsive in the months leading up to the wedding and provided a helpful portal where we were able to select out must play and do not play lists. Brian was our DJ and he was a great choice. We got so many compliments on the music. He was easy to work with and did such a good job keeping the energy going on the dance floor all night. I appreciated that he stuck with our playlists and that he checked in with me throughout the night. I did wish that we would have been able to hear all our “must play songs” but timing didn’t quite allow it. And there were some minor lighting issues during dinner, but Brian was quick to address that with me and I’m sure guests didn’t really notice. Overall, we are so glad we went with Sounds Abound and would definitely recommend them.
Definetely Recommend
Definitely recommend Sounds Abound for both the cost and quality of entertainment. Brian was a great DJ at our wedding because he kept the music going! I also like that Brian did not allow anyone to take the mic without asking my dad if it was ok. We had friends who wanted to give a toast and did not want them to because it would have interrupted our timeline. This was helpful! Recommend doing a meeting with vendors before the wedding so they know what type of music you prefer. Trust me, this comes in handy as you are running around doing a million things the night of the wedding! Also, pass off your timeline so they know when you want certain events to occur. We did not have a wedding coordinator but Brian kept us on track based on the timeline we built him.
We LOVED Brian Keck
Sounds Abound were excellent to work with. They gave us what we wanted and didn’t push us to do more (we had a simple set up). We LOVED Brian Keck, the DJ we chose. He had a strong sense of what kept our guests engaged on the dance floor and handled all of our MCing and special song requests with ease (and a great speaking voice to boot!). The Sounds Abound website makes planning super easy – choosing genres of music for various points during the reception, and allowing you to click on specific songs (their library has EVERYTHING) that you “must hear” and “don’t want to hear”. Brian went above and beyond to find a couple of unique, specific recordings we wanted played at special moments during the reception that were not part of their library. Great experience from start to finish and kudos to “our guy” Brian Keck for being the perfect wedding DJ!
Top Notch
Sounds Abound is top notch, our DJ Mike Macie was very personable with us and our guests. We asked to change a few things last minute and he took care of it as if it was planned from the start. I would recommend to anyone looking to pick a DJ: stop looking, you have found the perfect guy for the job!
Helpful, Friendly, & Very Professional
I cannot say enough about the great experience that we received at our prom over the weekend. The DJ Mike Macie and our photo booth operator were helpful, friendly, and very professional. Not only did our students have an exceptional time, the photo booth was a big hit! Sounds Abound has been great to work with and we are sure to use them in the future!
Highly Talented and Passionate
We had Mike Macie from Sounds Abound and were really impressed with his song selections, music style, and set-up. Mike was able to bring in additional equipment for the best acoustics at our venue with separated dining and dancing areas. He went above and beyond by tracking down several specific songs we requested through various sources like Spotify and YouTube. Even though there were so many songs to go through on our requested list, Mike was able to throw in other songs similar to the ones we liked and had the floor packed! Towards the end of the night, he was throwing down amazing mashups! Heck, even his assistants were joining us for the Cupid Shuffle! We could tell DJ Mike Macie is highly talented and has a passion for his job.
For anyone else reading this, we would highly recommend him to play at your wedding! Sounds Abound was one of the most responsive and reliable vendors we chose for our wedding. The staff and DJs are personable and wanted to ensure the best experience for our wedding.
Highly Recommend DJ Macie
DJ Macie did a fantastic job at our multi-cultural wedding this summer! He was very communicative and personable beforehand and perceptive at reading the crowd in the moment. Would highly recommend him and Sounds Abound!
Excellent Work!!
We used Sounds Abound for a school dance. Mike did an excellent job dealing with the requests of 150 middle school students. He played appropriate music and allowed the students to feel like they were in control.
Professionalism at its Best
I want to thank our DJ Mike for an excellent job. Mike did a great job as the emcee during the reception. I also hired them for the ceremony and Mike even went to our rehearsal and worked with us during the practice. I highly recommend Sounds Abound and our DJ Mike who made the night fun and got us all dancing all night long up to the last song of the night. We are very pleased with his professionalism and very easy to work with.
Captured Party Vibes Amazigly
Sounds Abound was one of the easiest, efficiant, and professional vendors I’ve interacted with throughout my wedding planning process. They were always quick to answer messages, arrange phone calls, and pair us with a fantastic DJ. We had our wedding about a month ago, and I still have friends and family reminisce and comment on how much fun they had at our reception. Our DJ Mike Macie captured our party vibe amazingly. The Night was so freaking fun that I have to give Sounds Abound 5 Stars – for not only the best night ever but for such an easy-going all-around process.
10/10 Amazing Job
Mike M did an absolutely amazing job in our wedding. Clearly knew what he was doing but made it a fun and unique experience for us and was extremely flexible and able to adapt on the fly. 10/10 I would hire again
So Happy with Mike!
I wanted to reach out and let you know how happy we were with Mike as our DJ for our wedding. A friend of ours used Sounds Abound for their wedding and recommended them to us. We could not have been more happy with the company and Mike. He kept everyone on the dance floor and made sure to include the mix of music we asked for. Thank you for helping make our wedding amazing with great music!
Highly Recommend Mike
Great service with consistent emails and a great price too. They did a lot of the work and really just needed our information and preferences for the reception. Mike was our DJ and I would recommend him to anyone for any event
Music & Sound was PERFECT
Mike did a great job! He followed the plan and the music and sound was perfect. What a pleasure working with both of you. We will definitely recommend you to others!
Nothing But PRAISE
We just have to send an outstanding review for DJ Michael Macie from Sounds Abound. We are SO happy with the music and the DJ for our daughter’s wedding reception. They met on zoom to plan the music and reception. Mike really listend to the bride and groom and their wishes. He was spectacular that night in providing music, introducing the wedding party, speeches, and making a game of getting photos of every table with the bride and groom, etc, etc. The groom is an accomplished and published musician and Mike included many of the groom’s original tunes. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about the music!! Even a month later they say nice thigs.
Many weddings have great music but it is so loud that people can’t even talk after dinner. Guests go home with no voices if they try to yell over the music. In our daughter’s reception, Michael played all their favorite songs at a reasonable volume and the groups could still talk and have a great time if they were dancing or talking. It was much appreciated and welcome!!
Nothing but praise – we are happy customers!!!
Amanda was AMAZING!
Amanda and team were AMAZING! Played all different varieties of music, everyone was complimenting them through night. Highly recommend!!!
So Easy & Friendly
Craig Mohler did an awesome job! He understood our tastes and was so easy and friendly to talk to. We and our guests had so much fun, thanks to him. We spent the whole night on the dance floor! We just wished we could have stayed longer!
Craig was WONDERFUL!
Everything was wonderful! Our DJ played what we wanted and everything else that he played was fantastic. We had lots of compliments about our DJ Craig. He was on the ball and very helpful. Thank you so much, we did not have to worry about a thing!
Craig Mohler was FANTASTIC
Thank you for being the perfect DJ service and for making our wedding so wonderful. Craig Mohler was fantastic. His communication with us was perfect and enabled me to plan out surprising my bride by singing a song to her during the reception. Although we may have selected too many songs, Craig kept the party going very well, and his experience was noticeable by his great song rotation and timing. We are so glad that we called Sounds ABound, and we thank you very much for all your assistance and expertise. Craig and Sounds Abound are top of the line
Highly Recommend Craig
Craig was GREAT to work with! He really worked with the songs we wanted and found a way to fit everything in. We loved him! He kept the guests on the dance floor all night. I highly recommend Craig to anyone who wants a great DJ!!
An AWESOME Job!
Everyone at Sounds Abound was extremely helpful. Everytime I called with a question they made sure they answered it completely. Our DJ, Craig, did an AWESOME job. We had people dancing all night which is exactly how I pictured my wedding reception. He was extremely helpful and really made us feel at ease. I was so impressed with everyone and everything and I will definitely use you in the future.
Craig was great! Everything went extremely well and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. He selected great music and read the crowd well to keep them dancing. We received great feedback from our guests. Our videographer said he was one of the best DJs he’s worked with! Thank you!!
Above & Beyond!
We were thrilled with our DJ, Craig and the amazing job he did at our reception! Not only did he play great music all night, but he went above and beyond by making sure that we had everything we needed all night long. We were very impressed with Sounds Abound as a company and would definitely use them again!!
Wonderful Entertainment
I would just like to thank Sounds Abound for the wonderful entertainment. From the very first phone call to book the DJ, until the last dance of the night, everything ran smoothly. Craig was there at any time to answer questions and he was very organized. We really felt like he took the time to get to know what we wanted our reception to be like and did his best to make that happen. Thank You!
Craig was AWESOME!
Craig was awesome! We spoke a few times prior to the event and he understood exactly what we wanted and we trusted his experience. We had a pretty mixed crowd and he did a wonderful job engaging all ages. Everyone had a great time!! We loved that Sounds Abound was up front with the pricing and we were able to handle most of our arrangements, selections, etc. online or over the phone. As busy professionals, we wanted to work with a company that was forthcoming and offered us multiple options for planning our event
AMAZING CRAIG!
Craig did an amazing job at our wedding! It has been three weeks since our wedding and we are STILL getting compliments about how much fun everyone had and how great our DJ was. Craig did a great job of keeping us informed about what was going on throughout the night. He was extremely professional yet laid back which is what we loved! He kept the crowd going the entire night and by the end of the night the crowd was chanting ‘one more song!’ I can’t express any further just how great he was and how satisfied we were with his performance! He not only met, but exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Craig and Sounds Abound to anyone who is looking for a DJ. Everything was great. I wouldn’t change a thing!
Craig was FANTASTIC!!!
Craig was FANTASTIC!!! His suggestions for the night worked wonderfully. He was really great to work with and helped the night run smoothly. Everyone had a great time.
Craig did a wonderful job throughout the entire process and night. We had several guest tell us how fantastic the DJ was. We are extremely happy with the job that Craig did. Please pass along our thanks to him! We will recommend you guys to anyone that needs a DJ. Thanks.
ABOVE & BEYOND EXPECTATIONS
I have never been so impressed! The entire experience from beginning to end was amazing. The entire Sounds Abound staff was extremely helpful and our DJ Craig was the best! Not only did he meet our expectations, but he went above and beyond to ensure everything was more than perfect. Everyone at the reception was commenting on how much they liked Craig and how fun he was making the party. The online planner was a great tool also and made things very easy for us throughout the planning process. I would highly recommend Sounds Abound to everyone
Exceeded Expectations!
We were extremely satisfied with Craig and Sounds Abound for our DJ at our wedding. We planned our wedding from California. Craig and the staff were constantly updating us as the wedding got closer. The online wedding planner also was a terrific aid for the reception. Meetings with Craig always went smooth and he was very helpful in helping us plan the reception. Everything we asked for he did for us, even last minute changes. Our wedding was to end at 11pm, and at 1030pm we asked Craig if he could stay an extra half hour. He was absolutely happy to do so for us, and had a smile on his face the entire time. Everyone we talked to said he was so great and put on a good party and accomodated many song suggestions that were made. I am so thankful we chose Sounds Abound and Craig to be our DJ. He completely exceeded our expectations! THANK YOU SO MUCH…. we have already recommended you to my sister, who plans on using you! There is absolutely nothing that went wrong, everything we asked for we got….. Keep up the good work!
What a NIGHT!
I truly had a blessed day! My DJ was great. He listened to all my requests and my guests danced the entire night! I still have people telling me that it was a great night and that they loved the music!
Perfect FIT!
Craig was an awesome DJ and so professional. His personality and attitude fit perfect with us. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a fun and interactive DJ to perform at any occasion. Thanks Craig you made our day an incredible experience!
Highly Recommend!
Craig was absolutely amazing! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. He checked in with us many times to make sure everything was how we wanted. Highly recommend sounds about and Craig!
Highest of Compliments to Craig Mohler
Highly Recommend
Craig was the DJ for our wedding and he did a fantastic job all around. He was a true professional and ensured that the event moved along without my wife and I worrying about anything. We had multiple meetings with him before the wedding which gave us confidence that the night would go smoothly. The music selection was great and had everyone dancing all night. He communicated with us throughout the reception to ensure that we were on board with certain song selections. All in all, we highly recommend Craig and Sounds Abound for your event!
HOLY COW!!
HOLY COW! It’s a couple of weeks after our wedding and we are still hearing from our guests how much fun our reception was! There are a lot of vendors out there, but I can 100% say hiring Craig and Sounds Abound was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! They are attentive, caring, charismatic, professional and more! Music is one of the things I was most worried about because we love to two step, line dance, and are more of a country family than what’s modern on the radio. From my first phone conversation I had with Craig my mind was completely at ease. He just got it. Craig could have picked every single song and I know he would have knocked it our of the park! Outside of my husband he was one of the best decision I made that day! Their online planner is also fantastic! I love how you can customize what you like and don’t like! And the best part is they’re respectful of it! I can’t say enough good things about them! Craig – thank you! I wish we could go back and do it every weekend!
THE BEST!!
David Wilner is THE BEST!! When we first met David, he hooked us by saying his style (paraphrased, sorry if this isn’t fully the way you explained it) was that our wedding was the stage / we were the stars and he was the director to facilitate our evening. We had a lot of details with our wedding and David nailed every single detail. He was wonderful with meeting our needs, focusing on us, our vision and was able to tell our guests politely, no to requests and other things. If anything arose, David discreetly approached us, so that we had nothing to stress about 🙂 He kept our dance floor packed until 1 AM!! If you want a DJ who truly cares about your wedding, you need to book David!
True Master of Ceremonies!
David Wilner is a true Master of Ceremonies! We connected with David through our friends’ recommendation of Sounds Abound and we are so glad we got referred to him based on our interfaith Jewish-Catholic wedding. It was important to us to get both sides involved in the Hora and keep our guests dancing all night – David exceeded all of our expectations. Even though we met in person and spoke on the phone several times, David’s performance on game day was outstanding. Whether it was corralling our family and friends for introductions, running an amazing multi-generational playlist or keeping the night’s events moving, David never missed a beat. Our family, friends and other vendors are still talking about how many people we had on the dance floor until the stroke of midnight! Our only regret is not extending our package for another hour 🙂 Thank you so much David and Sounds Abound for an unforgettable and extremely fun evening!
David Wilner made our wedding spectacular!
Sounds Abound was the perfect choice for our wedding reception last year. From the initial meeting, to selecting our music and planning the entrances/speeches, David Wilner was the way above and beyond our (high) expectations. David made us feel comfortable, confident, and gave us complete control to make our day go just the way we wanted. He really is more than just a DJ/MC, he is like a hybrid Superman who does everything to make the event go perfectly. David and Sounds Abound werre professional and excellent in every way from music selection, advice on timing and planning, to keeping everyone on track during our big day, and much more. Sounds Abound will deliver for your event, we cannot reccomend David Wilner highly enough!
Coming Soon!!!
Coming Soon….
Wonderful Job!!
This message is for Geoff, and the rest of the Sounds Abound Team. We just wanted to say thank you for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding. The night was everything that we hoped it would be, and it wouldn’t have happened without you!! We genuinely appreciate all the hard work that went into planning and pulling off the reception. We got 5000 compliments on the evening and the DJ was at the top of the list. Thanks again!
Great Energy & Highly Recommend
Sounds abound was amazing to work with! We had Geoff as our DJ. He listened to our very specific requests and had great energy the whole night! He truly made our wedding the dance party of the year! I would highly recommend!
Geoff was AMAZING!
We had such a great experience with Sounds Abound. Geoff was our DJ and was so amazing. Our dance floor was packed all night and everyone commented on how great the music and dancing was. I would highly recommend Sounds Abound and Geoff!
Geoffrey was a terrific DJ. He played the music we requested and even played requests by our guests. I have heard of other vendors not taking requests, so I was glad when Sounds Abound does that. Geoffrey also played songs in a certain order that my husband specifically requested.
Geoffrey also gave us a bit longer between dinner and the first dance so we could finish our meal since we walked around to thank everyone for coming during the dinner part of the reception.
We had a live performance, or our first song and Geoffrey was accommodating for that special time.
We had a special song request for my father-in-law that everyone stopped to watch him and my husband dance. It was one of the highlights of the night.
We wanted to send a thank you for spending your day with us and allowing us to have the BEST day ever. I know your set up started early in the afternoon, and your efforts did not stop until the end! I admit, I was a bit taken aback by the sudden risk of rain (when it wasn’t predicted all weekend or during the day!). I KNOW you worked with our coordinator and David, the officiant, to make the sound system outside work. It ended up being the most perfect ceremony, thank you. The intros and speeches went off without a hitch! (even my mother who gave the most on-par speech for her). Thank you for making our mother daughter dance exactly what I had envisioned. Finally, the dance floor! It is always my favorite part of weddings, and you helped our guests of all ages have something to dance to. There are so many great memories I have of the dance floor, from Elton John to seeing all my silly girlfriends sing along to Celine Dion. Neighbors said goodbye to me and then I see them dancing 15 minutes later, saying they couldn’t leave yet because they had to dance to “play that funky music”. Also the Schumacher aunts ( health issues/ walkers and all!) got up on the dance floor. Ryans aunt said it was the first time she has seen her husband dance in so many years. Can’t forget my 96 year old great Aunt dancing in her chair as well.
Thank you for being so organized and professional. We had such a fun day, thanks to you!
Amazing Night!
Thank you so much for all that you did for us! We couldn’t imagine a nicer & more talented person to work with! You are incredible and you helped us to have an amazing night! Everything was perfect thanks to you! Thank you sooooooo much!
A Perfect Night
Sounds Abound was awesome and the best to work with! The online portal was easy to use and helped us to arrange all the music for the entire event. Our DJ Geoff was awesome to plan with and felt like he understood what type of music we would like as a couple. He orchestrated the entire night perfectly! We got many compliments from our guests.
Geoff was FANTASTIC!
We hired DJ Geoff and he was fantastic!! They provided sound equipment for our ceremony and then did our cocktail hour and reception. Every step was smooth as can be from booking through the day of We received so many compliments on the music and the photo booth was a huge hit. 10/10 would recommend!
Fantastic Experience
Thank you SO MUCH for joining us on our wedding day. It was a fantastic experience working with you and your team. We are so grateful for you spending your Saturday with us. We will be recommending you to everyone we know. THANK YOU!
Knocked It Out of the Park
We had Geoff for our wedding this last couple weeks at the Bolingbrook golf club and he knocked it out of the park. Had a couple hidden surprises in the day for the guests and he did a great job really personalizing the event.
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
We cannot say enough positive things about Sounds Abound and Geoff specifically! They were great at communication, tool was easy to use, and overall amazing to work with. we didn’t have to worry about anything. Geoff was our DJ and he absolutely crushed it. As soon as the music started everyone was on the dance floor. People did not leave it all night, and people all keep telling us how fun it was and how great the music was. He did a perfect mix of oldies/new music, and all ages were out there all night. AND we threw 2 new things in right before we needed them during the speeches and the introductions and he had it down perfectly. Also a big shout out to Vince who handled the photo booth people loved it!! We cannot say enough about them, would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!!
INCREDIBLE Job
We cannot say thank you enough for being our wedding reception DJ! You did an INCREDIBLE job and kept the dance floor packed the entire night! We are so thankful we chose you as our DJ! And we were so happy you were able to accommodate our request to play “Tank” from Cowboy Bebop as our bridal party entered the reception! We will always remember dancing the night away until the bitter end! Thank you for all that you do – it is such a talent.
Highly Recommended
Sounds Abound came highly recommended by my wedding planner and it was easy to see why. From the beginning, the owner was extremely helpful in getting our date booked and selecting a DJ for the day of our wedding. Their online system was such a life saver in terms of layout of the evening (ceremony music, first dance, entrances, etc) to helping find all the amazing music you could imagine for your reception. My now husband felt that people ”just don’t dance at weddings anymore” and was concerned, however, Geoff kept the energy up all night long. We had constant movement on the dance floor for a night we will forever cherish.
Fantastic Experience
Our experience with Sounds Abound was fantastic! Their online form is very extensive and helpful to plan out everything needed for our special day regarding the music, and Geoff, our DJ, did a great job MCing the day, helping everything flow smoothly, and incorporating all of our requested music into our ceremony and reception.
Highly Recommend
We had the pleasure of Geoff being our DJ and MC for our wedding. He had done another wedding we attended, so it was an easy choice from the start! Prior to our wedding day, we had a request of a mash-up for the father/daughter dance. Tony Ho delivered the perfect combination of songs to meet our needs and ensured our day-of DJ had the track ready to play. On our wedding day, Geoff was cool and calm, yet kept our timing on track. Many of our guests told us that he did a great job keeping the party alive. He took everything we requested of him and made it a reality on our dance floor. We would strongly recommend Sounds Abound and DJ Geoff to anyone who wants their wedding to be a real party!
We Loved Sounds Abound
Geoff was the best DJ we could have asked for at our wedding! It was also a pleasure working with the entire Sounds Abound staff throughout the wedding planning process (Nicole N., Tony H.). They were very friendly, organized, and they helped me customize our photo print outs to match the theme of our wedding. They turned out great! Our photobooth attendant Joe was great and we got SO many comments about the how awesome our DJ was. He did a great Job explaining any instructions necessary throughout the night and picked the best songs and transitions. Highly recommend Geoff if you’re looking for a DJ and we loved working with Sounds Abound.
Super Organized & Friendly
We’re so glad that we chose Sounds Abound/Geoff to be our DJ! From the booking to the night of the wedding they/he was so great to work with. I loved using the portal to add our preferrences and do not play songs too. Geoff stuck to those playlists and played great music during our reception. He was also super organized and friendly. I would recommend him for any wedding! Our guests commented on how fun our wedding was and how great the music was. Thanks Geoff!
From the moment we met Geoff from Sounds Abound, we knew we were in good hands. His passion for music and his ability to read a crowd were evident from the start. He was incredibly easy to work with and took the time to understand our vision for our wedding. On the night of our wedding, Geoff exceeded our expectations. He kept the dance floor packed all night long with an eclectic mix of music that appealed to all of our guests. He was also a master of timing, seamlessly transitioning from one song to the next without missing a beat. In addition to his DJ skills, Geoff was also an excellent host. He had a warm and engaging personality that made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. He even helped us to orchestrate our wedding party entrance, first dance, and dances with parents. We also rented the digital Photo Booth from Sounds Abound, and it was a huge hit with our guests. The booth was equipped with a ring light, which produced stunning photos. It also allowed guests to take GIFs and boomerangs, which were a lot of fun. Tony Ho, who designed our photo booth template, did an amazing job. He incorporated the design from our wedding invitations, which made the photo strips feel even more personal. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Sounds Abound. Geoff and Tony were both professional, talented, and easy to work with. They truly made our wedding dreams come true.
AMAZING!!!
We hired Geoff Rafferty to DJ our wedding and he was a hit with all of our guests, aged 16 to 85! Starting off with the cocktail music, it set the perfect vibe for our reception. Introductions were AMAZING, our wedding party had so much fun walking out. We have A LOT of tough names to pronounce in our family and friend group and Geoff nailed all of the pronunciations, which was incredibly important to us. Especially with the last name Gettinger! The music played throughout dinner was very tasteful, perfect volume for us to go and chat with our guests. Geoff, checked in with us at every point to make sure we were ready to move into each item. Once we had finished our traditional dances, our family was ready to party!! We had people on the dance floor the ENTIRE time!! Geoff did such an amazing job, and we look forward to passing along his contact information to our friends for their weddings!
Highly Recomend
Best Dance Parties Ever
Keith. Thank you so much for making sure our wedding was on of the best dance parties ever! We truly had a blast and I it wouldn’t have been possible without your help! I also appreciate the extra time you put into the “Dance With Yo daddy/My Girl” mash up! You kept it ‘Rockin”! We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding so memorable. We got so many compliments on the music and it far exceeded our expectations.
Never Stopped Dancing!
We never stopped dancing at our reception! Keith was amazing, he was able to read our crowd and keep everyone having an awesome time! He was professional and prompt. He honored all of our requests and found all of our specific song requests. It was an amazing day and Keith was truly a huge part of it. We got so many compliments about him from our guests. Thank you!!
Keith was EXCELLENT
We went with Sounds Abound for our wedding and could not be happier with our choice! We had Keith as our DJ and he did a fantastic job! The dance floor was filled the entire night! We also got compliments from our photographers that Keith was extremely accommodating and made sure to communicate with the other vendors before announcing anything so that everything could be captured on camera. Before the wedding, we utilized the online planner and that was extremely helpful. It allowed Keith to know what type of music we wanted and ensured that certain songs were played. The entire experience with Sounds Abound, especially Keith, was excellent! I would definitely recommend them!
An Amazing Job!
Keith Talaga was the DJ for our wedding this Saturday and he did an amazing job! We kept getting compliments about how amazing he was throughout the night and I couldn’t have asked for a better night. He was easy to work with and very helpful when we had questions. He made sure he knew how to pronounce everyone’s name in the wedding party and also was very flexible for on the fly changes that always happen during weddings. I would recommend him to anyone who was looking for a DJ for their event.
Dance Party Never Stopped
Our DJ was Keith Talaga and I can’t say enough good things. Great contact before the wedding and during the reception. He got the wedding party (which was large) organized for the entrance and kept everything moving ahead of schedule. The dance party never stopped once the dance floor opened. People gave us so many compliments on our DJ team and my brother in law even got Keith’s info from me in order to book him for his wedding in June! Thank you Keith and Sounds Abound!
Keith was AMAZING
We never stopped dancing at our reception! Keith was amazing, he was able to read our crowd and keep everyone having an awesome time! He was professional and prompt.

Exactly what we WANTED!
Keith, Thank you so much for DJing our wedding reception! Your music selections were exactly what we wanted and your ability to keep the dance floor filled the entire night was incredible. We can’t tell you the number of compliments we have received from our friends and family about the dance floor and music that was played. Thank you again for helping to make our wedding such an amazing day!
Super Happy & Highly Recommend
Keith Talaga was amazing! He was so attentive to me and making sure I was happy throughout the night. Very organized and great personality. He knew how to read the crowd and make sure people were dancing. Super happy with this company and highly recommended. He even took a song I wanted for my bridesmaids walk down the aisle and slowed it down so it fit perfectly. He had the proof to me in 1 day!
Choose Keith!
Highly recommend Keith Talaga! He was so easy to work with – we were even texting him to ask questions. He is super personable and did an amazing job at our wedding. We received so many compliments on the variety of music he played, even myfriends wanted to use him for their wedding. If you have the option, choose Keith!
Absolute Best DJ EVER
My wedding was at White Eagle Golf Club and Keith was my DJ. He was the absolute best DJ I have ever had! He was so friendly and personable! I will consider Sounds Abound again for any future event and recommend it to all myfriends and all couples getting married that I know! Made my wedding the best day I’ve ever had!!!!
Packed Dance Floor All Night
Keith Talaga was the DJ at our wedding. I cannot thank Keith enough! He made sure the day ran so smoothly and made everything easy for us! We gave him some song suggestions, but, outside of that, told him that he could play whatever he saw fit. The dance floor was packed the whole night and I got so many compliments on the song selections! Thank you Keith for being the best DJ there is!
Definetely Recommend
We had Keith from Sounds Abound as the DJ at our wedding. He was wonderful and checked in with us throughout the planning process and the wedding day to make sure everything went the way we wanted. The whole company was very friendly, easy to work with and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
We LOVE Keith!!!!
I will be reviewing you every where! Keith was AMAZING. We cannot say enough good things about him. We had many engaged couples at our wedding and everyone was raving about him so I hope you get lots of business from us! He truly made the process so fun and easy and made our wedding the party we dreamed of He is fantastic! We LOVE Keith!!!!!
Phenomenal!
We hired Keith from Sounds Abound to DJ our wedding, and he was phenomenal! He was more than willing to help us and answer any questions we had about music leading up to our wedding (and we had a lot more questions than we anticipated having!). Not only did he play great music during dinner, but he read the crowd perfectly during dancing and did an amazing job at keeping everyone engaged throughout the night. Multiple guests commented on how amazing he was. We highly recommend him!
Everything was GREAT
When we started looking for a DJ, we checked out a number of places and their websites. What we really liked about Sounds Abound was that they were the only website we saw that had footage of their DJ’s. We got to see how they interacted with the crowds and the bride and groom, how they introduced the wedding party, and their personality. The whole Sounds Abound team was very accessible and were all so very helpful. We ended up choosing Keith as our DJ, and did not regret it. He brought creative ideas with our Oscars wedding theme. The music selection he chose went perfect with everything we suggested and captured our taste of music with great flow. The venue that we used even requested their information to use for future events. We also had a photobooth and the attendant was great with helping people use the photobooth. Everything worked great and we had such a great time with Sounds Abound. Would recommend Sounds Abound hands down.
DJ Keith was AMAZING!
We used sounds about for my sister’s wedding and loved working with them so much we booked them for my wedding! They are so easy to work with and make the entire planning process so simple! They were in contact with us multiple times within the months leading up to our big day and worked directly with our venue coordinator to get the timeline for the day! Their online planning portal also makes it so simple to choose music for the reception! Our DJ, Keith, was AMAZING! There was never a point during the evening when the dance floor was empty. By the end of the night our friends nicknamed him “Pitbull” and we had so many compliments from our guests on the music. If you want to have a full dance floor all night, Sounds Abound is the way to go!
Dance Floor was PACKED!
We had Keith Talaga as our wedding DJ this past weekend. He was so easy to work with and was able to play a lot of songs we had that weren’t initially on the Sounds Abounds website. I was a bit of a diva on the day of and wanted things to move quickly and he kept us on schedule and had great suggestions for the reception timeline. Our dance floor was PACKED from beginning to end and we received a lot of compliments on how amazing he was. I would definitely recommend him and the company Sounds Abounds for any event.
On TOP of Everything!
We recently got married and our DJ Keith was absolutely wonderful! He was so on top of everything and knew exactly what to say and do! It was the party of a lifetime. I sent him a Spotify playlist and he went with it and he had everyone out on the dance floor. He played our favorite party song “Mo Bamba” and everyone still talks about it. 12/10 recommend Keith for your wedding or event!
Keith did not Disappoint!
We were in need of a DJ for our wedding and Sounds Abound was referred to us by multiple people & several of our vendors. So, it was a no brainer! We ended up choosing Keith as our DJ and we made it very clear from the start that great dance music and a sense of humor was a must – and he did not disappoint! Keith was very easy to work with and he gave us awesome recommendations / suggestions to ensure both the ceremony & reception flowed smoothly and were a good time. Let’s just say that by the end of the night, almost everyone came up to me and said that it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to because of the awesome music selection. With that being said, I highly recommend Keith and the Sounds Abound team!
Great Job Mixing Music!
We had an incredible experience with Keith Talaga (Sounds Abound DJ) as the DJ for our wedding. He did such a great job mixing the music we put on our playlists. We got so many compliments all night and in the days following our wedding on how great our DJ was. The dance floor was full literally the entire night and everyone was exhausted by the end of the night. I would 100% recommend Sounds Abound and Keith as a wedding DJ!!
Professional DJ!
I just wanted to drop you a quick line about the service we received from Jason Yach at our wedding reception. Jason is a very curteous, professional DJ with the knowledge and skills to keep the night rocking! We really didn’t specify songs to play and he was able to keep everyone satisfied throughout the night with his song selections. That’s saying a lot because the dance floor was continously packed with very harsh critics as many were younger teens. That’s not to say he didn’t know how to get the older crowds moving either because I often saw people tearing up the floor that normally wouldn’t be anywhere near the parquet. He was also very attentive in making sure that the night was progressing well by often coming up to me to ask me how things were going. I had absolutely zero issues with entire event, thanks solely to his professionalism. I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound and specifically Jason for anyone else I come across looking for a good DJ!
Warm Personality & Professional
Jason was our DJ and he was always willing to answer any questions I had. It was easy to contact him through e-mail or telephone. What I loved the most was that he was always making sure I was happy and comfortable on my day. It meant the world to me to have such a warm, professional person working with me to make my wedding work! I booked with Sounds Abound only a couple of months ahead of my wedding and was delighted to find the company had the date open. I thought it was wonderful that you got to choose your own DJ and I was very happy with mine. Sounds Abound was reccomended highly to me and I will certainly be passing along it’s services to others. Thank you so much Jason and Sounds Abound!
A Great Job!
Jason did a great job. The dance floor was packed the whole night. We put a lot of songs we wanted him to play on the site before but wasn’t nearly enough for the whole night. He asked us if we wanted to keep the same feel of music that we had or to change it up at all. We told him the same with a few newer songs. His choices were good, everyone had a lot of fun. I would recommend him.
The Yach Brothers!
I will definitely be recommending not only your company, but Jason and his brother, who was his assistant on the night of our wedding. Their professionalism, personalities and attitudes meshed so well with our event, we were given so many compliments by guests regarding Jason. Everyone was so pleased with the music there was hardly a moment where no one was on the dance floor. Jason and his brother were very engaging with our guests and very flexible with other last minute changes to songs. We had guests ask us if they were friends of ours because “they played music that was true to us”. Friends commented through out dinner that certain songs were definitely ones I had picked or ones my husband chose. They thought it was awesome that our personalities were reflected with the music. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of company and further more our choice of DJ
Jason TOTALLY GOT IT!
I just wanted to take a minute to let you know about our experience with Jason. He was our DJ at our wedding. He was great! We had a conversation before our wedding where my husband and I had the time to fill Jason in with the type of music we wanted to hear. We also used that time to give Jason a feel for what kind of reception we wanted to have. Jason got it. He listened, used the information from our discussion and the online planner to create the most awesome wedding reception ever!! Mike and I had so many compliments on the music and the fact that the dance floor was never empty. We credit Jason to that!! I am the last child out of 4 to get married. So many of the guests have been to the 3 weddings before mine. Our wedding was the best because of the great music. Jason played music for everyone. Because of that, all of our guests truly enjoyed themselves.
“WOW!!”
Let me just start by saying “WOW”. You guys did a phenomenal job for Corrie and I. We got a little behind schedule because of a shuttle bus issue, but the guys did an amazing job catching up and keeping on track. However, I just want to say Jason was so amazing! He did one heck of a job for us. I knew his style would be a great fit for us from his web video, but I had no idea he would produce what he did for us. He was so cool and collective, and I don’t think that the dance floor was empty for one second. I even saw the grandparents tearing a rug out there. I just have to say that I was so impressed with his professionalism and the way he kept the party going. He pronounced every ones names right and was just an amazing MC and DJ! You truly have an amazing worker for you in Jason and you only make the company stand out even more by having him represent Sounds Abound. Thank you, Sounds Abound and the crew we had Saturday, for what you all did for us. I am truly impressed and I will always recommend your company to anyone. Well done guys all around! You made the process so easy and even with the changes and obstacles, I never felt overwhelmed or that you guys would let us down in anyway, and trust me that means a lot when your planning a wedding.
Definitely Recommend!!
Jason Yach was our DJ for our wedding reception. He did a fantastic job and my husband and I were so pleased that we selected him to DJ for us. Jason was great from start to finish. He did a great job of checking with us to make sure names were correct before introductions, played all the music we requested and filled in with other music that really fit in with what Joe and I both liked, and really did a wonderful job making sure the night went as smooth as possible. We would definitely recommend Jason to anyone who is looking for a DJ because he really knew how to make everything perfect
Thank You JASON!!!
Jason was such a pleasure to work with. He made the whole planning process go smoothly. He made sure to make contact with us ahead of time to go over the online event planner information and verify any questions. He did an excellent job following the playlist and adding some good songs when he felt things needed to be slowed down or sped up to keep the crowd engaged. The dance floor was full the whole night. Many of our guests made compliments about the DJ and the music. This was a wonderful night and Jason made sure that we were taken care of the ENTIRE night!!!! Thanks again Jason!!
Jason was AMAZING.
Jason was AMAZING. He was very patient! Jason interacted great with the crowd, never too overbearing. He played the exact music we wanted to hear and kept the party going:)! We 100% recommend Jason as a DJ for anyones up coming event. Thank you SO much!
Jason MADE our Wedding!
DJs can either make or break a wedding, and Jason definitely MADE our wedding! I cannot say enough good things about Sounds Abound, but more importantly Jason. After reserving Jason for our wedding through Sounds Abound, Jason sent us an introduction email right away and thanked us for choosing him as our DJ. He was easy to contact and responded quickly to emails. We met with him in person to go over the day of events, song selections, introductions, etc., and Jason definitely put us at ease and helped us through this process. He knows exactly what he is doing and we knew that our day would run smoothly because of him. My husband’s family is Polish, and we provided him with polish songs, and he was able to download these songs directly to his laptop. The day of the wedding, Jason was on time, professional, and did everything that he said he would. He made sure that we followed the schedule that we planned and was on-top of everything! He played songs at the right time, and knew when to change up the genre to make sure that there was always afull dance floor.
While talking to people who attended the wedding, we received sooo many compliments on our DJ! If I could redo my wedding, I would make sure that Jason was there!!!!
Exceeded Expectations!
Jason Yach did an amazing job at our barn wedding earlier this month! He made the whole experience so easy for my husband and I. Jason really listened to what we wanted for the wedding day and he not only met our expectations but exceeded them by playing music he knew we would enjoy and more importantly that our guests would love. Totally recommend bookingJason for any event!!
Fantastic!
Sounds Abound was fantastic. The dance floor was packed and people keep telling me how they danced so much at our wedding that they were sore the next day. Jason was our DJ and absolutely crushed it! Took complete control and ownership of the dance floor, the energy, and the crowd. Knew exactly which songs to play to keep the hype going. Also, such a great down-to-earth laidback guy who listens and genuinely wants to make your day special. Definitely recommend Sounds Abound.
A Perfect Night!
We are so happy that we booked Sounds Abound for our special day! We had Jason Yach as our DJ and he helped to make it a smooth process. The online planning tool is so easy to work with and gave great music suggestions that helped keep our dance floor packed all night. Jason was extremely personable and gave us great recommendations to make the night perfect. He was very professional and kept the night moving as we requested the speeches be done throughout dinner. We are so glad we chose Sounds Abound and would recommend Jason to all our family and friends!
Jason was the BEST!
Jason was the best! He helped us plan out the evening and had some great recommendations for how to structure the reception. The music was perfect and everything went very smoothly. All the guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed the DJ. I would recommend Jason and Sounds Abound to anyone who is looking for their wedding DJ.
Absolutely Amazing
Jason Yach was absolutely amazing at our wedding! The DJ is one of the most important parts of your reception and Jason did not disappoint. During our pre event phone call he listened to our requests and helped us plan and brought up things we didn’t even think about for our reception. He was very attentive during our reception and very flexible with timing of events. The music was great and the dance floor was packed the entire night. The sounds website is so easy to use as well. Adding songs to your must playlist as well as the introductions and first dance songs were very organized and easy to add. Finally, Jason and Sounds Abound were amazing and I definitely recommend for any occasion!
You Won’t Regret It
DJ Jason Yach was the best! He is very experienced and knows exactly what to do. The dance floor was crowded all night. Definitely recommend him & Sounds Abound. You won’t regret it. Thank you!!
10/10 Recommend!
10/10 recommend Sounds Abound. They provide a website that makes it super easy and clear to the DJ and expectations on what we should do. Jason Yach was our selected DJ, and he was AMAZING. He listened to our needs, answered any question we had right away and made sure we were set up for success on our big day. He also was very generous on the day of making sure we were okay, asking about us personally and kept our guest on the dance floor all night! Thank you,Jason, and Sounds Abound team!!
All The Best Hits!
Jason Yach was the DJ at our wedding. Jason was so great; he kept the crowd dancing the entire night! Throughout the process, Jason was so organized and answered any question we had in such a timely and friendly manner. He made sure our requests were answered and really made us feel so special and heard! Our guests are still talking about the wedding and the “really cool DJ” that played “all the best hits!”
Absolutely Killed It!
Jason was our DJ and he absolutely killed it! He listened to every request/note we had and executed it perfectly. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and full of energy – from every age of guest. I’ve never been to a wedding with as great of a dance floor.Jason was very professional, organized, easy to work with, and super personable. Our photo booth through Sounds Abound was great and everyone loved it. We would hire Jason and Sounds Abound 10x over!
The BEST TIME!
If we could give DJ Jason (and Sounds Abound) a higher rating than 5, we absolutely would. He was our wedding DJ and we are still physically recovering days later from constant dancing on the dance floor. He played one killer song after the next, and our guests had the best time. People of all ages truly did not leave the dance floor the whole night! We’ve gotten so many compliments from everyone who was there! The whole company has been fantastic to work with and made it so easy (and fun) to plan our day. If you want to have one hell of a party, we highly recommend Sounds Abound and Jason!!
Tim Yach was AWESOME
Tim and the rest of the Sounds Abound team were awesome. Tim kept the evening on schedule and kept everyone out on the dance floor with a great selection of music even leading a dance himself. The photo booth guys were efficient and very personable. The whole team was professional and attentive. Our guests had a blast.
Respectful & Professional
Our overall experience was excellent. Tim did a great job keeping in contact with us before the wedding, incorporated all of our song choices, and providing people with great dancing music all night. He was respectful, professional, and very helpful in helping us organize our reception! Keep up the great work!
Tim was WONDERFUL!
Our experience with Sounds Abound was great! Our questions were always answered quickly which we really appreciated. As far as our big day, everything was perfect! Tim was wonderful! He was so great with all our guests doing introductions and everything! He got all the songs we wanted for our ceremony and listened to our requests for dinner and the reception. Overall he made the day so enjoyable! Thanks so much!
Easy Going & GREAT!
We really enjoyed working with Sounds Abound. Everything was easy & stress free! Our DJ Tim Yach was great & easy going just like we are & kept our guests dancing all night long!
Tim was GREAT
Tim was great. He met with us a couple months before the wedding and made us totally comfortable with his abilities and squelched any nerves we had. We talked to him about 10 days before our wedding and went over the whole website we had filled out. We felt super comfortable and Tim just understood everything that we wanted and the feel we wanted our wedding to have. The day of he was outgoing and fun. He really got into the reception’s atmosphere and had fun with us and our bridal party. He pronounced all names correctly and did exactly what we wanted the whole night. We also had a photobooth that was great. The attendants were fabulous and all our guests kept talking about how friendly they were and they definitely had fun with our guests. They did a great job with the guest book and made a wonderful memory for us. We loved Sounds Abound. Communication and performance were way above par
Easy Going & Professional
We could not have asked for a better wedding DJ. Sounds Abound, Tim specifically, helped us to plan a perfect evening. The website was easy to navigate and we were able to choose all the songs we wanted. After meeting with Tim a few weeks before the wedding, we were confident that the night would progress without a hitch. Tim’s professionalism and easy-going attitude helped our event run smoothly. Tim was successful at getting a crowd of all ages up to dance and kept everyone going all night long. All of our guests complimented on the musical choices and are still talking about how much fun they had. Thank you Sounds Abound and Tim for making our wedding reception a night to remember!
Highly Recommend Tim
I highly recommend Sounds Abound, and especially Tim. He was amazing! We met with him a week before our wedding and went over everything; we had a few special requests and he made us feel super comfortable that everything would run smoothly the day of our wedding. He did not disappoint! We didn’t have a thing to worry about at the wedding…Tim took control of the room, made our guests feel welcome, organized our wedding party and toasts, and knew exactly what to play to keep the dance floor filled. Of all the decisions made for our wedding, choosing Sounds Abound was by far one of the best. Thanks so much Tim
Tim was Amazing
Tim was amazing – no one left the dance floor – He played all of our favorites and our suggestions, and didn’t play anything we didn’t want. He was so curteous and professional. One of the best vendors I’ve worked with throughout the entire wedding process.
Fantastic, Professional, & Organized
Tim was fantastic- very professional and organized, and just the right mix of energy, but not over-the-top. The mix of music he chose incorporated a lot of what we like, so he was really in tune with our interests. (we got a lot of “great music selection” comments) Something unique that Tim provided for us was cutting the 2nd verse of a song (Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”) to support a reasonable dancing time for the father-daughter dance. The cut was remarkably seamless! And when the son-mother dance spontaneously evolved into the parents & bride/groom all dancing, Tim didn’t skip a beat in announcing the parties, as if it were planned! This showed he was really paying attention. Overall, the experience and planning Tim put into the night really showed, and we were very pleased with the reception. Thanks to Sounds Abound and Tim for providing a great atmosphere and night to remember for everyone involved!
The Party was Rockin’!
Tim agreed to stay later because our party was so rockin’. He also took care of everything such as speeches and the introductions of the bridal party, which meant I just had to worry about having fun!
Recommend to ANYONE
Tim played such great music during the cocktail hour and dinner, we had people asking when we were doing to have our first dance. They were just itching to get out on the dance floor. He kept them going right to the end! I’d recommend him to anyone. Thanks again, Tim!
Our Wedding was MAGICAL!
Absolutely Wonderful
Packed Dance Floor
Sounds Abound was amazing to work with and we had nothing but great reviews from our guests on Tim’s performance. Tim was able to get everyone out on the dance floor all night. There was not one moment during the night when the dance floor was not packed.
10/10 Recoomend
The best DJ service you will ever use. We used Tim Yach from Sound Abound for our wedding and he was phenomenal. 10/10. Would recommend Sound Abound to anyone for any and would recommend using Tim if he is available.
Tim LOVES to DJ
We used Sounds Abound Entertainment for our wedding reception and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Many of my friends and family (Along with me!) were on the dance floor all night. Our DJ was Tim Yach and he was phenomenal. I was getting compliments about our DJ Choice all night. He read the room and played songs that kept people dancing. He played a great mix of older and newer songs to keep everyone involved. During the wedding planning, he met with me and my fiance to discuss song choices and the genres we like. We also went over the order of events and Tim stayed on top of it all night. It is very evident that Tim loves to DJ and that this is a passion of his.
An AWESOME DJ!
John was an awesome DJ! He knew how to keep the party going and made sure to play all of our favorite songs. Thank you for an amazing evening!
Such a Memorable Wedding.
It was a pleasure to meet and work with you. You did a fantastic job as I hope you could tell by how many of us danced and danced and sang along. You managed to mix in some very disparate types of music and keep everyone happy. Thank you for all you contributed to making the wedding a memorable one. I am happy to recommend you to anyone!
We also used Sounds Abound for our photobooth at the reception, and we are so glad we did. The attendant was a blast, and kept the pictures flowing, and the smiles coming! We cannot imagine having a better night, and Sounds Abound really did their part to make it all perfect!
We also loved the photo booth that we had from your company, our guests loved it so much! We had a blast with the photo booth and love the guest book that we got as well. Everything having to do with Sounds Abound and our wedding was perfect!
We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience using Sounds Abound. Our Photo Booth was the hit of evening. Everyone is still talking about it. Our photo booth operator was wonderful, patient and helpful. Our guests raved about it and many took cards for their future events. We love the album we put together. There is something about taking your picture in a photo booth, you get crazy, and the pictures were great. Thank you so much for helping us make this the most special day in our lives.
The uplighting that was provided through Sounds Abound brought an untimely elegance to the room that would not have been achieved without their help.
I ordered uplighting from Sounds Abound and the setup they provided was excellent. The room looked great and I never had to worry about them as a vendor, which is vital considering everything else a bride and groom have to worry about.
Highly Recommend Sounds Abound!
Our friends used Sounds Abound and we attended their wedding. They were very easy to work with and always kept in touch with us. We enjoyed their online system in which we enter songs we wanted played, those we did not want to hear, etc. Our DJ, Steve Drews, was great and really got the crowd going. We would highly recommend Sounds Abound!
DJ Tony Ho was AMAZING!
My husband and I chose Sounds Abound for our wedding DJ. They were so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. Our DJ, Tony Ho, was AMAZING. Seriously, he is the best. I am still getting compliments on him and our wedding was almost 3 weeks ago. He kept the party going nonstop. Even my 80 year old grandmother was on the dance floor all night. From the moment we booked with him, he contacted us to see if we had any questions. Periodically he would check in to make sure all of our questions were answered. I would say the best part of the reception was the music and the atmosphere he created. Him and his assistant fit right in with our wedding guests. When we talked, he got an idea of our style and our personalities. He played all of our requests and was spot on with his music choices. I am so excited to get our wedding video back to relive the party. Hands down, go with Sounds Abound and Tony Ho, you will not regret it! Our friends want us to have another wedding and have him back to DJ! If I could give him more stars, I would! Thanks Sounds Abound!
Best DJ Ever Heard!!!
My fiance and I booked Tony Ho after hearing him at our friend’s wedding and agreeing that he was the best DJ we had ever heard. We jokingly said it was as if he was reading our minds and playing exactly what we wanted. We both believed that the DJ was one of the most important aspects of a wedding, on the same level as the open bar. For our wedding, Tony delivered just as expected. All of our guest commented about the music and how it was the best they’ve ever heard at a wedding. He was extremely professional.
Absolutely THRILLED with Tony Ho!!!
Absolutely THRILLED with Tony’s work during our wedding day! Throughout the entire process, he was one of the vendors that kept me the most calm and had a ton of fun with it. My husband and I have a very unique style in music — everything from MoTown to the latest hits, to really explicit rap music, he understood what we were looking for and had our backs the entire time. The two of us are Sox fan, and we told Tony under no circumstance should “Go Cubs Go” be played, despite them playing on our big day. He stuck with us the entire time and even saved us in the end when we almost gave in 🙂 Tony’s shared sarcasm, humor, fun voice and upbeat personality really set the stage for us working with him and he had everyone in our family, including our friends, tearing up the dance floor the ENTIRE night — it was AMAZING! I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was occupied the ENTIRE time — excellent job, Tony!! We wish we could get married a million times again to dance the night away to your playlists!
WOW, WOW, WOW
Tony, Tony, Tony, WOW, WOW, WOW! Thank you, seriously, FOR EVERYTHING! You did all that we asked and more and I had such a blast! You know you have an awesome DJ when people come to say good-bye to the bride and she doesn’t want to talk to them because “her song” is on! LOL Loved every minute of it, everyone said that they had a great time and we were beyond pleased. I know I’ve told you before but just knowing we were going to have you as our DJ was the biggest sighs of relief. We’ve been to plenty of wedding’s where the DJ sucks (as I’m sure you have) but from the beginning, I knew that we didn’t have to worry. I felt totally comfortable leaving everything in your hands, from making sure that we are sitting at the right time, to telling us when to walk around, to setting up the sound system for our wedding so everyone can hear our vows, to setting up the slideshow, the list goes on and on, you were a big reason why our day was so great and we are so thankful! I really just want you to come to our house parties so you can rock it out for us, lol. Thanks so much Tony!
Tony Ho was the BEST POSSIBLE DJ!
John and I would like to take a few minutes to let you know how happy we are to have chosen Sounds Abound for our DJ service. The overall professionalism of the company was outstanding. Tony Ho was the best possible DJ! He was awesome to work with prior to the wedding, taking into consideration all of our comments and wishes. He gave us great feedback and was a pleasure to work with. He did an awesome job taking our music styles and using them for cocktail hour and dinner music – it was a huge hit and we loved it! Tony got everybody moving and excited before the dancing even started! The dance floor was packed by the first song and stayed that way all night. Everyone commented on what a great DJ we had. I really appreciated how Tony took our personal music tastes and worked them into the entire reception, I really felt like everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound and especially Tony Ho to anyone planning a wedding! Thank you for making our special day extra special!
A Stellar DJ and Highly Recommended
My wife Tina and I speak on behalf of our guests when we say that we had a fantastic time and truly enjoyed the entertainment provided by Sounds Abound. Tony was extremely professional, starting even before the actual event. He provided timely responses to our emails during the preparation for the reception and was always very courteous. The night of our reception, he was all set up and ready to go long before things got started. The music played during cocktails and dinner was exactly as we had requested and set the perfect atmosphere for the evening. The best part of the evening was the dancing, and I can assure you that Tony brought a great deal of energy to the party. He even got out on the dance floor and taught everyone how to do the Cupid Shuffle, something which the guests really appreciated. Tony played nearly all of our requests, and any other special requests we had for the evening (music for the cake cutting, first dance, etc) were perfectly executed. It was a shame that the evening went by so quickly, since we would’ve loved to keep the party alive. In summary, we were delighted to have Tony as our DJ and would instantly recommend him to anyone looking for a stellar DJ.
One of the Best Wedding DJ’s There Is!
Tony Ho is by far one of the best wedding DJ’s there is! From the moment the reception started, our guests were on the dance floor! Our reception was supposed to end at 11:30 and there were still over half our guests dancing the night away and Tony kept the party going!I’ve never seen so much “fist-pumping” at a wedding!! All of our requested music was played and Tony played music for every age…a very special moment was having the dance floor cleared for our 90 year old great uncle so he could dance with his wife. I will be telling everyone I know that is planning a wedding to hire Sounds Abound and Tony Ho. It was an amazing experience. Having a great DJ is one of the most important aspects to a great wedding….and Sounds Abound exceeded our expectations by a long shot! Thank you for making our wedding so memorable and perfect!!
Tony Ho was the RIGHT PICK!
I agonized over picking a DJ for our wedding reception, as I truly believe that the right DJ makes or breaks the entire reception experience. Well, we sure picked right! From beginning to end, Tony Ho played excellent music exactly in the theme of what we had asked for and what our crowd was responding to. In our pre-reception meeting, Tony and I had discussed the use of specialty dances and my opinion was that every reception needs them at some point to get people to stay on the floor…so in that situation, go ahead and use them…but let’s keep them to a minimum. Well, not one specialty dance needed to be played! Our floor was packed from the first through the very last song! People had a wonderful time and I can’t thank Sounds Abound enough. Thank-you for going above and beyond. Oh-and one more thing-we also booked the photo booth services through Sounds Abound…HUGE hit! And the scrapbook is a fun and hilarious keepsake for my husband and me! I wouldn’t have changed a thing!!
Tony Ho is just AWESOME!!
Tony, Wow!! Russ and I can’t stop talking about how amazing last night was. When my parents asked us what we wanted out of our wedding, we said, “A BASH!” We took selecting a DJ very seriously as from the 50+ weddings we’ve been to over the last 10 years, we learned quickly that a DJ makes or breaks the night. We had high expectations for you and for Sounds Abound. You over-delivered 100 fold. Our guests commented throughout the night how great you were several times. You nailed every detail…the pronunciation of the bridal party names, the entrance we wanted was very specific, you custom cut our entrance song to make it perfect, we didn’t even ask you to…you read our minds. There was not a moment throughout the night when the dance floor wasn’t packed. You really played a major part in giving us the wedding we always dreamed of. We loved your energy, your spirit, and your attitude. You are just AWESOME. We will proudly promote you and your services… the good news is, I have two brothers that aren’t married yet….I don’t think you’ve seen the last of us.
EVERYONE was on the Dance Floor!
Tony Ho did a fantastic job! In preparing for the wedding we probably had more song suggestions and do not plays than the norm- but Tony was very helpful & worked with us the entire way leading up to the event. He really listened to our choices & also added more selections that kept with our tastes and the different backgrounds of our guests! Even during dinner- I had people come up to us at the head table to tell us HOW AWESOME the music was- in fact I had people keep asking us when the dancing was going to start because they were already excited by the dinner music. When the dance portion of the evening started- EVERYONE got on the dance floor and this continued until the end of the night. Everyone- even my 85 year old grandma- danced the night away! People have asked us for the playlist! People we have never seen dance and people who claimed they had never danced at weddings before were getting down! During the night, the next day & the days that followed- people have called me, my husband & my parents to say that the reception was awesome & they still have blisters on their feet from all the dancing. Tony Ho definitely helped make our wedding reception a true celebration!
Tony Ho was AWESOME!
Our experience was awesome. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Tony Ho was awesome! He made our reception a night to remember! We asked him to make it seem like a party more than a typical reception, and he did. Tony had a lot of energy, which made the night even better! We had a lot of people come up to us and say that he was the best DJ they have heard. Thank you for everything!!
Tony Ho is AWESOME!
Tony Ho was AWESOME! We could not have asked for a better DJ for our Wedding. He played all the songs we requested. But, more importantly he knew how to read the crowd and played all the right songs to keep the dance floor packed the entire night. We had so many comments from guests about what a wonderful time they had at the reception. And even that this was the best DJ they had ever heard at a wedding reception. We cannot praise Tony Ho and the entire Sounds Abound team enough for their great work. We will definitely be recommending Sounds Abound to all our friends.
Tony Ho is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I really appreciate Tony following my playlist and working with me to have the perfect wedding soundtrack. I have had numerous people call and write to me saying that the music at my wedding was the best they ever heard. My Mom, Dad, Wife, Friends and Family commented on how nice and fun Tony was. Thank you again. I set out to have the perfect DJ and playlist and not only were my expectations satisfied they were exceeded by great service.
“Stolat” & TONY were AMAZING!
TONY WAS AMAZING! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Tony by far exceeded our expectations from day one when we first spoke to him. Not only was he extremely responsive, easy to work with, and made wedding planning FUN, but we had some specific requests and he blew us away! My family is primarily of Polish descent so it was important for us to have a special song played during the reception. Not only did Tony find a great version of it, but he did his research and did a really great, but short, intro of the song so that the other side of the family would understand what was going on and could share in the special moment. On top of that, we had a few ad hoc changes the day of the wedding as far as something we needed included in the reception, and Tony completely adapted with ease and made it a non issue. We also had a tough crowd to please–the full range from little kids to elderly; but Tony handled that with ease as well and had the dance floor packed all night long! He didn’t make the reception about him, or do too many talking intros for things–he really did an absolutely perfect job! All in all, we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect DJ for our event, and we truly appreciate Tony’s personal contact and personal touch throughout the wedding planning process to the actual wedding.
Tony Ho is an EXCELLENT DJ!
Tony Ho was an excellent DJ! His sense of humor was really great and kept the guests engaged. He played a great mix of music that kept all our guests, from ages 8 – 85, dancing for hours. We received many compliments on the DJ and said it was the most fun reception they’d been to! Tony also kept us on schedule for the evening with the first dance and bouquet toss. During the planning process Tony was available to help out and provide suggestions. We also liked the online event manager program that allowed us to select an unlimited amount of songs that we liked and guided us with reception organization. Sounds Abound was also competitively priced and worked with us to ensure we received services to suit the location. We would recommend Tony again and again!
Tony Ho made our Wedding SPECIAL!
We cannot sing enough great praises for Sounds Abound and in particular, Tony Ho. From start to finish, the experience was amazing. From the in-person introduction and booking process to the constant check-ins, we were impressed and at ease with working with Sounds Abound. Furthermore, Tony Ho, our DJ (though he was really much more than just our DJ/MC), truly made our wedding special. Not only did he meet our every (and numerous) needs, but did so in a professional and fun manner. He made all our guests feel like family and we had numerous guests come up to us afterwards expressing how impressed they were with Tony. Some even asked if they could steal him for future events. He kept the energy going by providing a careful balance of letting the guests do their thing when energy was hi and stepping in (and providing some killer dance moves) when energy levels were a little lower. Tony made time to meet with us before our wedding to get to know us and our preferences and on the day of, worked seamlessly with our other vendors to make sure the day was about us. Thank you Sounds Abound, and more importantly, thank you Tony Ho.
Grab TONY HO ASAP!!
Rule of thumb, you spend months sometimes over a year planning your special day and it will never fail something always goes wrong. It might be a small or big details but I can say for one thing it won’t be your DJ, if you go with Sounds Abound and have the one and only Tony Ho!!! Words can’t explain his professionalism and genuine sincerity to make your day amazing. Not only does he know how to judge your guest to get them on the dance floor he goes above and beyond to make your day special. Like many we had unfortunate things happen on our day in which Tony was able to improvise and make it a night to remember. He even checked in the day after, sent photos from his vantage point with his phone and truly wanted to make sure everyone had an awesome experience. If he is available for your date, grab him up asap because he won’t disappoint, he truly is a one of a kind class act!! And to Tony, many thank you were the best!
Choose TONY HO!!!
We were so pleased with our Sounds Abound experience. My wife and I knew the music and MC would be a very important part of the reception, but neither of us had strong opinions about what music should be played. The online planner was convenient and easy to use. In the end, we only had about 10 songs that we told Tony we liked and about the same number in the do not play category. We didn’t have any songs in the must play category. With that little guidance, we left it up to Tony to work his magic. It’s pretty safe to say that he crushed it.
I’ve never been to a wedding where people made a mad dash to the dance floor the moment it opened. Well, I suppose now I have. He got our guests out there from the first song and he kept them there the entire night. The transitions from song to song were great and he kept everyone happy with a great balance of classic and current songs. I remember hearing most of the songs from the songs we like category. He did a great job working them into the lineup and made everything flow.
I must also add that Tony was a great communicator, both in his public presentation and with his communication with us as a couple. He spoke with us on the phone the week before, right before the reception began, and then checked in with us later on in the evening.We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice in company and MC. Choose Sounds Abound and then choose Tony Ho!
Tony Ho, TRULY the MVP!
We chose Tony Ho as our wedding DJ and could not have been happier with our decision. When it came to our group of wedding vendors, Tony was truly the MVP. From the very start, Tony made himself easily accessible to answer any questions or address concerns and would oftentimes reply almost instantaneously. We live in Arizona, and Tony was extremely accommodating with arranging his schedule so that we could meet when we were in town for wedding planning a few months before our Big Day. In the weeks leading up to our wedding day, Tony would frequently e-mail or text us to check in to see how things were going and if we needed anything. He also took it upon himself to reach out to our venue’s event coordinator to discuss details related to the event space. Tony has a contagious energy that is impossible not to love, but also a calmness about him that truly put us at ease on our wedding day. He frequently checked in with us during our wedding, but not in an intrusive way, to ensure everything was going to plan, and even took some time to snap some fun photos of us on his iPhone, which he kindly sent us the next morning. Many of our guests complimented on what an amazing DJ he was, and we most certainly agree! Our only complaint is that we don’t live in Chicago and therefore won’t be able to hire Tony for our DJ for future events. If you have spent countless hours reading reviews on wedding DJs, stop your search right now and hire DJ Tony Ho of Sounds Abound Entertainment–you will not be sorry!
So Impressed with TONY HO!
Finding a DJ was the most important and most daunting task for me when it came to planning my wedding. Not only am I obsessed with music, but the energy of the DJ sets the entire tone for the wedding and whether or not your guests enjoy themselves, which was my top priority! Sounds Abound had the right package for the right price, and my husband and I were so happy with what was included (uplighting, full dj services from 4-11pm, plus two hours of setup time, picking your own DJ, etc.) But then the hard part came: picking which DJ was right for us. I am an Egyptian-American and my guest list was very eclectic, as was my music taste. Tony Ho instantly impressed us with his charisma, his energy, and his infectious smile. His experience with multicultural weddings sealed the deal for me. I started planning 18 months in advance, and Tony was incredibly patient and responsive through the entire process. He worked flawlessly with our other vendors and had even worked with my photographer and venue several times before. He coordinated perfectly with our belly dancers, and gave them a great introduction! My husband and I liked Tony more and more with each meeting, text message, and email. He was so friendly and accommodating and he made me feel like he genuinely cared about making our wedding special and exactly the way we envisioned it. I literally gave Tony a color-coded spreadsheet with music for every second of the day, complete with plenty of notes and special requests. Never once did Tony express annoyance or frustration with my frequent changes and concerns, and he made me feel so comfortable reaching out to him with anything I needed. Tony even made some fun suggestions for our quirky ceremony that truly made it unforgettable, and our guests are still talking about it. Working with Tony was like working with a long time friend, and I will forever be grateful for how much he invested in making our wedding perfect for us. The dance floor was never empty, and a smile never left my face! He even snapped some great photos that he sent us right away! Do yourself a favor and get Tony for your wedding, you’ll thank me later!
So IMPRESSED with DJ Tony Ho!
I am writing this review as a guest/member of the bridal party from our friends wedding this past weekend who was so impressed with the experience we had with DJ Tony and Sounds Abound Entertainment! I too got married this past year and while I also loved the DJ we used and had no complaints with our experience, I truly felt the need to express to Tony and to everyone who will read this what an amazing guy he is. Not only was the dance floor packed the ENTIRE NIGHT, I also saw him interacting one on one with the guests, making Jokes, keeping a smile on his face all night and most importantly, he helped kept the whole day move along seamlessly. Aside from being behind the DJ booth and keeping the crowd partying all night, I also wanted to highlight the fact that I saw he had taken some candid and fun pictures for the bride and groom all on his own that we were all able to enjoy the following day. Typically, the bride and groom and the bridal party are too busy to have their phones out to snap a few cool pictures or videos to look back on while we all wait for the highly anticipated professional photos and videos. So the fact that Tony took the time to come out in the venue and snap a few decoration/venue pictures and bridal party pictures/videos and share with us the next day was awesome. He truly went the extra mile and that is definitely something that needs to be recognized! I would recommend again and again Tony Ho for any event DJ needs! What an awesome guy and an awesome night celebrating our friends thanks to Tony!
No Better DJ than Tony Ho!
I could not have asked for a better DJ than Tony Ho at our wedding! Whenever I had a question or inquiry, he responded within hours and made my vision come true! He gave me full creative control with everything, and didn’t hesitate to make it into a reality. I cannot recommend Sounds Abound and Tony Ho enough, they really were an incredible team to work with! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
100/100 So Accomodating!
Tony Ho was our DJ and let me say he blew it out of the park!! He took, what people typically wouldn’t consider wedding music (for those who aren’t a fan of traditional wedding jams like I am) and made it fit in perfectly to our wedding day!! I never got a chance to really leave the dance floor because he was always playing “my jam” haha! Tony is super personable and even let some of my guest take photos behind the DJ booth. He was quick to answer emails and so accommodating! 100/100!! My guest loved the music and the vibes. Almost want another wedding just to book him again!
Tony Ho “The Greatest Showman”!!!
Tony Ho is the greatest showman ever. My friend recommended him and he’s worth every penny. We were an impossible couple: our music tastes could not get farther apart. I wanted old school honky tonk, my husband wanted 2 Chainz. We picked ridiculous songs — our first dance was the BeeGees. Somehow, this saint of a man made it work. We sent him our favorite spotify playlists. Every other song one of us was ecstatic about — and somehow he made it sound great. I’m convinced he can work with anyone to do anything. He has a beautiful voice and great presentation. He kept us on time and went with the flow on our last minute changes. We were married in March and my husband talks about his man crush months later. Thank you, Tony!
Best DJs in the Business!
Our wedding would not have been the same without Tony as our DJ. He is without a doubt one of the best DJ’s in the business. On top of his mastery over music and vibe setting, he was an amazing host for each stage of our wedding. Not only did he take a lot of stress out of the music planning, he absolutely nailed the music for our wedding and helped keep a structure to the night. Prior to the wedding, we had a detailed phone call with Tony where he prioritized understanding the music and vibes we wanted to set for the different parts of our wedding. On the night itself, Tony absolutely nailed everything we had asked for and effortlessly incorporated all the nuances of our different music tastes into the wedding itself. He perfectly executed the special songs we picked for our ceremony and first dances, and helped keep the right pace so we didn’t miss a thing. For cocktail hour and dinner, he set the mood and was spot on with the songs and artists we had discussed prior to the night. When it came to the reception, Tony was second to none. He had the dance floor packed and kept everyone dancing. My husband and I have received nothing but compliments about how fantastic Tony was. He is truly one of the best at his craft and we could not have asked for more. Hire this man, you will not regret it!
Polish American Wedding Far Exceeded Expectations
The work of the Sounds Abound team went far beyond all our expectations! The planning process was very easy and Tony was very responsive to all of our questions and was able to incorporate special musical selections for our Polish American wedding reception! Tony is an exceptionally talented DJ and kept the energy going all night! We also loved the photo booth! The attendant, Brandon, was extremely friendly and fun!
The Perfect Touch of Us!
Now being two weeks out from our wedding, we can reflect on how absolutely perfect it was from start to finish. We couldn’t have ask for a more magical day and a large reason for that was sounds abound with DJ Tony Ho!! He is so personable, dedicated to making sure the day ran smoothly and everyone had a great time. He somehow found a way to mix in our music taste which isn’t really wedding dancing music and it was the perfect touch of “us” that is one of our favorite things to look back on. We had the Photo Booth as well and the attendant was incredible!! So interactive with all of our guests and looking back at those photos gives us belly laughs. We have said multiple times now how we wish we could get married every year because of how amazing the day was. Thank you again sounds abound and DJ Tony Ho!!! Book this man!!!
Tony set the Tone of JOY & FUN!
We had the distinct pleasure of having the owner, Tony Ho, as our DJ for our ceremony and reception. He knocked it out of the park! From day 1 working with Tony and Sounds Abound was amazing. They are extremely responsive, organized and also help you to think about details you may not have considered. Our guests had rave reviews about how amazing the music was at the reception and the dance floor was packed! We also added on the Photo Booth for our reception and it was worth every penny! It was an added party favor for guests to go home with their photos. Tony set the tone for our wedding to be one of joy and most importantly , FUN. We are so grateful to have had him!
Book Tony Ho NOW!
We are so grateful we came across Sounds Abound for our wedding! Tony is the absolute best DJ, friends and family are still raving about how great he was two months later. Tony listened to us to hear what we were looking for, a fun party at the Wilder Mansion, he gave us that! He worked with us to use music we loved at the right time throughout the evening. The vibes were amazing and everyone had a blast! Tony’s equipment is sleek and elevated our event. Book now, you will be so happy you did..and everyone will be asking you who your awesome DJ was! Thanks Tony!
Tony Ho is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!
Tony was the absolute best!!! He made our wedding a hit, it was over 2 weeks ago and we still have friends and family telling us how much fun they had dancing the night away! Tony was so talented with reading the crowd and figuring out what to play next. He worked with us to create an amazing playlist and even made a special father daughter dance mix for my dad and I, which was so much fun as a father/daughter dance! Will forever recommend Tony and Sounds Abound!!
Tony Ho is PHENOMENAL & EXCELS at his Craft!
Tony was phenomenal. He is a professional on all levels and truly excels at his craft. Tony was a one man show – able to seamlessly transition people and equipment through all aspects of the wedding. As our MC he knew how and which moments to help make shine. One of the absolute highlights of our wedding was how Tony was able to get literally every single person at our wedding up and dancing on the FIRST song. We had 200 people – no easy task! In under 20 seconds of him starting the first song, the dance floor was a sea of people and to us it was truly magical. It was a perfect first song choice and we’ll always be thankful to him for that. He then kept that dance floor filled the remainder of the night. We would highly recommend Tony and Sounds Abound!
Owner TONY HO made it a PARTY!
We had the best experience with Sounds Abound!!! Owner Tony Ho was the DJ for our reception and made it a party we will never forget. Prior to the wedding, Tony and his team had extremely quick replies to our questions and were very easy to work with. Tony radiates with excitement and was set up ready to go for our day hours ahead of time. His MC and DJ skills are both amazing. Our dance floor was packed the whole night and we couldn’t have dreamed of a better night! I could not recommend Tony more!
Officiant, DJ, Class Act!
I highly recommend choosing Tony Ho as your DJ for your special day. My husband and I actually had the pleasure of using Tony as both our DJ and officiant for our wedding day. Tony was a class act! We wanted a ceremony that was super meaningful and intimate, but we are not exactly religious people. Tony met with us briefly and sent us questionnaires separately to answer regarding our relationship and our love story. We received such positive feedback from our guests on our wedding ceremony because it truly shared our love story through our words that Tony received from us. It was truly so special and memorable. Tony did this in a way that was not cheesy or off-putting, but touching and heartwarming. There were many tears from us and the audience! Additionally, Tony did such a great job as our DJ later on in the night. He read the crowd well, listened to our feedback for the type of music and style we were going for, and provided a wonderful night of entertainment for our wedding. We initially talked to Tony about reading the room and ending early if the crowd was not staying up too late, but no joke, the party lasted until 1:30 AM with a packed dance floor, when our room ended at 1:00 AM! We are thrilled with both how meaningful our ceremony was and how enjoyable our evening was for dancing and celebrating! Thank you Tony and Sounds Abound! 🙂 We are so happy we chose you for this special moment of our life!
Everything we Wanted and MORE!
So happy we went with Sounds Abound for our wedding! Tony Ho was a joy to work with. He was open and responsive from the beginning and went above and beyond for us. He incorporated every song request we had and did a fantastic job responding as the mood changed throughout the night. Couldn’t recommend Sounds Abound more!
Tony Ho is INCREDIBLE!
From the start, Sounds Abound, specifically Tony Ho, was incredible. We met with him about 5 months prior to our wedding and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He answered any questions that we had about music for ceremony and reception, flow of the evening, and we even had awesome cold sparklers that surprised all of our guests! Tony went out of his way to make sure that any idea we gave him, he was able to execute. We couldn’t thank him enough for such an amazing night!
Tony Ho’s Professionalism is Unparalleled!!!
This review is a long time coming…like 2 years in the making! It wasn’t until I was writing a different review that I realized I never made one for Tony Ho with Sounds Abound. Just goes to show that they are definitely worth it! I was really impressed with how we were able to collaborate on our wedding music with their easy to use platform to create our ideal playlist. Tony Ho is like a sound engineer! He understood my vision for the precessional. He was able to time the music perfectly with the crescendo of the song to when the doors opened for me to walk down the aisle! Then for cocktail hour and reception Tony really brings his A-game. Very helpful with guiding us along the evening with speeches and special dances. We also had the photo booth in our package. Everyone enjoyed it and the album that was put together was the sweetest to see that fun side of our special day. Do not pass up on this vendor! It’s EXACTLY what you want for entertainment for your event. Tony Ho’s professionalism is unparalleled!!
NO Brainer to Hire TONY HO!
Sounds Abound is a NO brainer to hire for a wedding. We paid extra to have Tony Ho our DJ. He truly makes you feel amazing with the right music at the right time. If I ever have another event where I need a DJ, I will hire Sounds Abound. The photo booth was top notch. Like everything. Also, I am going into the wedding industry as a day of coordinator and I will only recommend Tony Ho and Sounds Abound.
Greek Integration was SEAMLESS!
Tony was absolutely AMAZING!! We cannot recommend him enough. We gave Tony about 10 songs so he knew our style, and he nailed it – we truly loved every song he picked! The dance floor was packed the entire night from ages 4 through 80s. He also integrated our traditional Greek music seamlessly throughout the night (We cannot count how many weddings we have been to where the cultural music was awkwardly thrown in and the dance floor became empty). Tony also pronounced every single name correctly during introductions and speeches, and we had some long complicated ones (again, this may seem expected of a DJ, but we have been to many weddings with butchered names). We also loved that Tony was taking pictures and videos throughout the night so we had something to look back at while we wait for our professional pictures! Over the past fews weeks we have had numerous people telling us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and part of that is thanks to Tony! HIRE HIM!!!
Best Choice by Far for our Wedding!
Sounds Abound was the best DJ choice by far for our wedding! They were extremely responsive and willing to go the extra mile to make our day special, even setting us up with uplighting for our reception space and cold sparklers for our send off. Their portal was super easy to enter in our wedding details and song choices. We also really appreciated the team accommodating our officiant’s request for a lapel microphone and music stands for our readers. We LOVED having DJ Tony, he made the entire planning process so easy and fun! His energy is absolutely electric!! He took the time to get to know us, helped us plan out the music vibe for each part of the day, and gave us so many great suggestions to make our experience even better. Both DJ Tony & his assistant absolutely crushed it on our big day, our ceremony music was perfect and everyone had such a blast thanks to the music and dance floor set up! We’re still receiving compliments on how awesome our DJ was today! Truly an unforgettable and amazing experience.
Tony Ho was So Integral!
We could say so many amazing things about Sounds Abound Entertainment and owner, Tony Ho. A DJ who could seamlessly go from a ceremony to the most epic dance party ever was so important to us on our wedding day. We could not have dreamed a better person or company to be a part of our day. Tony perfectly incorporated so many personal touches throughout our wedding – some that we specifically requested, and some that he included on his own accord because he took that much time to get to know us as a couple and knew it would make us smile. Tony was integral to so many perfect moments throughout our day, and it makes me tear up thinking about how much he cared about our experience on the most important day of our lives. You cannot ask for more in a DJ. Tony and all employees of Sounds Abound Entertainment truly care about their customers, and will bend over backwards to make your event everything you want and more. I’m being sincere when we say that I’m looking for any opportunity to have a DJ at another life event, just so Tony can be there. Do not look any further for a person or company for all of your sound, lighting, and photobooth needs. I promise you will not be disappointed.
So Happy with TONY HO!!!!
We used Sounds Abound for our wedding. We heard about this company from a friend who used them at her wedding and we are SO happy we chose DJ Tony Ho from Sounds Abound. From the original inquiry to the day of the wedding, everything was so smooth and well taken care of. Price was totally fair and well worth it. I cannot recommend him and this company anymore, seriously so happy with the service! Thank you Tony Ho!!!
Keith was AMAZING!
We learned about Keith through my husbands coworker, who said he kept the party going at his wedding. Keith made EVERYTHING so easy, leading up to the day and day of. I utilized the event planner that Sounds Abound offers which made the whole thing even easier with regards to the names of everyone in our wedding party and any special dances/speeches that we had. We ended up making a Spotify playlist and sending that to Keith and he absolutely CRUSHED It! He played the songs we had as must plays and didn’t play anything we didn’t like, he transitioned each song smoothly and played everything at the perfect time. Keith made It clear we could make any changes that we wanted at any point in time and was so easy and flexible to work with. Tony was also there helping Keith and he was so sweet and took so many great pictures/videos of the night! We could not recommend Sounds Abound, Keith and Tony more and have already told everyone there who they were for future events!
Incredible DJ!
Thank you so much for being an incredible DJ at our wedding. The music was so fun to dance to and you kept so many dancing. So many friends and family talked about how sore they were from dancing! (Including Us!) We hope you have an amazing wedding season. Much Love!
Exceeded Expectations!
Brian K. was the DJ/MC that we chose for our Wedding last month and I am SO glad!! Brian exceeded our expectations! He was super flexible with the adjustments we made and was so personable. He did a really great job of incorporating our must plays and similar music to keep the party going; everyone was on the dance floor the entire night! On top of that, Brian even let my younger brother press play for one of the songs! That meant so much to him and my family! Everyone had a blast at our wedding, we are still getting compliments and a huge part of that was Brian. So thank you SO much Sounds Abound, and especially Brian for helping make our Wedding day so special.
Amazing Experience!
DJ Ray Jones was incredible! Our guests were on the dance floor all night telling us how amazing the DJ was. Sounds Abound made it simple and easy for us to enjoy our special day. We are thrilled with how much fun DJ Ray Jones made our night. Thanks again Ray Jones!
10/10 RECOMMEND TONY HO!!!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Tony Ho at our wedding. He was incredibly laid back during the planning process, while also making sure we got him all the information he needed. Then, on the day of the actual wedding, he came in with the little direction we gave him and absolutely killed it. Every song was perfect, he was an awesome MC and we were truly happy to have him there. 10/10 recommend Tony and sounds abound for any wedding!
Hire Sounds Abound! Get TONY HO!
We had the pleasure of working with Tony Ho as our DJ, Nicole in the office, and Emi as our photo booth attendant. From beginning to end, they were quick to respond, organized, and on top of last-minute requests. We admittedly did not give them a lot to work with music-wise. We said to just go with what’s popular because my husband is in a metal band, and we felt most people wouldn’t want to listen to that.
Tony curated the perfect playlist for our cocktail hour and dinner music, incorporating some metal and even pulling from my husband’s band’s Spotify! It was very tasteful, and our guests kept complimenting how much they loved the music and how unique it was for a wedding. It was so personal to us, and we can’t thank him enough. We also couldn’t decide on a first dance song, so Tony flawlessly blended both songs together!
If you are debating adding a photo booth with them, it’s definitely worth it. Our guests were in the photo booth all night! We got to not only keep copies of all the pictures, but they also put them in this beautiful guest book for us to keep. Seriously, it was an absolutely perfect wedding, thanks in huge part to Tony and his team. Don’t hesitate—hire them!
Highly recommend Sounds Abound!!
Our DJ, Keith, kept the dance floor full the whole night! He was amazing. Very personable and made sure the night ran smoothly. Sounds Abound was easy to work with and their website user friendly. They have video interviews with each DJ, so you can be sure to pick the right one for your event. That was genius! I highly recommend Sounds Abound!!
Matt Ammons was Awesome
Matt Ammons was an awesome MC/DJ at our wedding reception. He was super friendly and easy going. He took our preferences and crowd’s vibes into consideration when choosing songs. We had guests send in song requests and some were Vietnamese and Japanese songs. He was able to incorporate those songs in the right moment and tastefully. We also added the photo booth services. It was a great crowd pleaser and the person in charge of that (Joe Mihalik) was very nice and accommodating to our guests. The online portal to help with song selections, payments, and timeline was easy to use. We highly recommend Sounds Abound! They’ll make the music and entertainment part of wedding planning or any event very easy.
Keith is AMAZING!
We knew we wanted Keith as our DJ from our friends wedding, but he did not disappoint at our wedding either. The dance floor was full the whole night and videos showed how much everyone was singing along. Throughout the whole process it was super easy to communicate with sounds abound. Pretty early on Keith gave us his phone number so we could directly contact him which made the process even easier. He was super easy to talk to and made sure he understood what we wanted. We loved Keith!!!
THANK YOU BRIAN!
We had DJ Brian for our wedding and he did such an amazing job!! He knew what songs to play to keep everybody dancing all night! He made sure everything went smoothly and was so kind! Thank you Brian and the Sounds Abound team!!
Amazing Night!
We loved our entire experience with Sounds Abound entertainment. They were very responsive with emails and incredibly organized throughout the planning process. We used DJ Ray Jones and he was amazing! Our dance floor was full throughout the night. Thank you Ray for helping make our day so special!
Keith was AWESOME!
We worked with Keith and he was incredible! Super laid back when it came to planning/communication, confirmed everything the day of, and kept the dance floor going all night. He made everyone, from the grandparents to the littles, happy. Beyond that, Keith worked in all our traditions/multicultural music, worked super well with our coordinator, and even made a custom cut of our first dance song. Truly the best experience.
Thank You Matt & the Sounds Abound Team!!
Matt Ammons from Sounds Abound played our wedding in Naperville, Illinois and did an amazing job. Leading up to the event the Sounds Abound team had excellent, user-friendly resources for us to use as we generated songs we felt were “must plays,” songs we “like,” and songs we don’t want played. Sounds Abound has great customer service and have many services that can enhance any wedding. On the day of the wedding, Matt was thorough with his work and did well with all aspects of the wedding. Matt arranged the sound for the ceremony and DJed the reception. His years of experience as a DJ were on full display throughout the night as he consistently played music that catered to the party. The owner of Sounds Abound, Tony Ho, was also communicating to ensure that we had our needs met leading up to the wedding and it was just an excellent experience from start to finish working with Sounds Abound. When evaluating DJs for our wedding we found Sounds Abound to be reasonably priced and looking at the work they did, it was most certainly something we would highly recommend for anyone looking to have a DJ play their wedding. Thank you to Matt and the Sounds Abound team for making our wedding even more spectacular than we could’ve expected! People brought their boogie shoes to the wedding and didn’t stop boogying until the party was over!
Highly Recommend Brian!
Brian was a fantastic DJ. He followed all our requests and ensured the dance floor was never empty. I highly recommend him and Sounds Abound. It was so easy to work with them.
Everything was PERFECT!

HIGH ENERGY!!!
Ray Jones was a fantastic DJ and kept the party going all night! He was very professional and took excellent care of us. He knew how to get everyone involved and we highly recommend him!
Keith was AWESOME!
I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound! Keith was our DJ & he was awesome! From our first phone meeting to the day of, he made everything ran smoothly! My dad & I did a choreographer dance & he mixed the two songs together for us. Anytime I texted him with changes or adjustments he answered right away! Our wedding was two weeks ago & our guests are still talking about how amazing the DJ was! Getting the Photo Booth was so worth it too!! It was a HUGE hit!
Amazing time
Our DJ was Ray! I just want to say how amazing he made our wedding. His energy was awesome, he was able to adjust some things last minute and stay totally understandable about it all. I can tell he really loves his job. He pumped up the crowed! We also had a great time with the Photo Booth. Doug was SO kind. My husband wanted me to say he’s an incredible human haha. He cared so much as well about capturing moments and the conversations he had. So shout out Ray and Doug!!
House Music and Freestyle! Ray was the BEST!!!!
Dj Ray was awesome! So fun ! Kept everyone on the dance floor! Our wedding was a great time! I def recommend him! Especially if you love house music and freestyle!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND TONY HO!
Tony Ho with Sounds Abound kept our dance floor alive all night long! He accommodated all of our requests and needs and was so easy to work with for our wedding reception. We keep getting compliments on how great our DJ was, we highly recommend Tony!
Amazing!
We had Geoff as our DJ and he was phenomenal! He was super flexible with the schedule changing last minute as speeches went longer than anticipated, but he made up for the time and played hit after hit during the reception! Scheduling with Sounds Abound was super easy and organized. So glad I went with them!
Amazing! Kind! Helpful! Professional!
Tony Ho made the planning easy snd provided great ideas and suggestions! His communication was amazing, especially for an anxious bride! The night of the wedding Tony and Doug were amazing. Everyone raved about the music, DJ, and Photobooth! Tony Ho was very professional, kind, and helpful. His communication was top notch and kept us on track. He made the planning process simple and enjoyable! During the ceremony and reception the music was amazing. The guest raved about the DJ and the dance floor was full! The photobooth attendant, Doug was personable, helpful, and hilarious. Everyone loved the photobooth.
Thank you for making our wedding night everything we wanted and more! We can’t thank you both enough for your kindness!
We highly recommend booking with Sounds Abound if you want to have a blast! We will definitely book with you all again.
Absolute DREAM!!
We can’t say enough positive things about our experience working with Sounds Abound for our wedding! They were an absolute dream to work with – every time I reached out with a question leading up to our big day, Nicole or Tony would reply to my email right away within the day, which we really appreciated. We used Sounds Abound for their DJ, Photo Booth, and uplighting services. The event worksheet for filling out details about our ceremony and reception was straightforward and easy to use, and really helped us visualize and plan our music selections for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was also super easy to select music for our reception “must play”, “like to play” and “do not play” lists. We only selected a handful of songs for each of those lists because we had full faith that our DJ, Keith, would read the room and keep the party going all night, and wow did he deliver! The dance floor was filled with people the entire night, and guests started dancing even before we officially opened the dance floor! Keith did a fantastic job, and so many guests reached out to us after the wedding saying that they’ve never seen such a crowded dance floor! Keith was wonderful to work with, he was very flexible and reconfirmed our music selections before each wedding event to check that we were all still on the same page and didn’t need to make any changes. During the reception Keith made sure that we were on the dance floor for our “must play” songs so we were able to enjoy them. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Keith and highly recommend him! Another highlight of our wedding was the Photo Booth, and our attendant Joe did such a wonderful job! All of our guests had a blast at the Photo Booth, and at the end of our wedding we received a copy of everyone’s Photo Booth photos, which we had so much fun looking at! We had the most incredible wedding day and can’t thank Sounds Abound enough for everything they did to make our wedding dreams come true!
Epitome of Professional
Ray of Sounds Abound was our DJ, and he was the epitome of professional. During our pre-wedding meeting, he was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. On the day of, he managed the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception effortlessly. He kept the energy high and had people dancing all night long.
Truly UNFORGETTABLE & Delivered on every PROMISE!
WOW! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Sounds Abound. The DJ was nothing short of incredible and truly made our event unforgettable. From the very start, he listened carefully to all our requests, paying attention to every detail we mentioned, no matter how small. One of the things we loved most was how seamlessly he incorporated a special MP3 file that was important to us—it meant a lot, and he made sure it fit perfectly into the night’s music flow.
But what really blew us away was how he kept the dance floor alive all night long. From the moment the music started, guests of all ages were on their feet, and it stayed that way until the very last song. The energy never dipped, and he had an incredible talent for reading the crowd and knowing exactly what to play to keep the party going.
We also had a few special requests along the way, and Sounds Abound handled each one with total ease. Their professionalism shone through at every step, from the initial planning stages to the day of the event. They were so communicative and attentive, always checking in to make sure everything was going as planned, and they truly delivered on every promise.
Nailed the Vibes!
DJ Tim was awesome to work with! He totally nailed the reception vibe and kept people dancing all night. Scheduling process was very easy and the staff was so helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks again to the Sounds Abound team!
Geoff was AMAZING!
We had Geoff as our Dj for our wedding reception and he was amazing! Everyone had a great time dancing and he incorporated our music choices throughout the night and I cannot recommend Sounds Abound enough, if you need a Dj. This is the one! Thank you for making our wedding extra special
High Energy!!
DJ Ray Jones was our Wedding DJ and when I say he went above and beyond he went above and beyond to keep the energy high and the dance floor full! Thank you for an amazing night!
Coundn’t be HAPPIER!
We used Sounds Abound for our wedding this past Friday and used DJ Kat (Keith) and we couldn’t be happier. Keith had excellent communication with us leading up to our wedding day and ensured that everything was squared away. He kept the music going and the dance floor full all evening long!
Best WEDDING DJ!!
I’m crying Tears of Joy all Day as you absolutely killed it at our wedding. Literally everyone expressed how much fun our wedding was and you were a massive part of that. You made it so easy and comfortable for us. We didn’t stress about a single thing and got to focus on having the best time. You’re a fantastic DJ/MC and we are thrilled to have had the best wedding DJ of any wedding we’ve been to and we’ve been to ALOT of weddings! Thank you a million times!
Oh YNOT, pick Tony Ho
I knew from the minute we met with Tony Ho the first time that he was remarkable! Our wedding was the most amazing day and much of it was due to Tony’s experience and skills. He is a champion! If you are looking for a stellar Emcee and DJ for an event, look no further! Oh YNOT, pick Tony Ho.
An Absolute Pleasure!
Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with! He really lifted up the room with his Dj/Emcee skills. The music he played kept the dance floor alive all night long. Teenagers all the way up to baby boomers could enjoy his playlist at our wedding. He also set up sound for our ceremony which was executed perfectly. Our guests could hear everything being said after he welcomed us with our music choices and sent us off to start the party. The online planner is super helpful in setting the stage for your music choices.
Easy to Work With
Tim Yach of Sounds Abound kept us on the dance floor all night!! He came prepared, was easy to work with, and checked in throughout to be sure we were having a great night. Sounds Abound did an excellent job of communicating with us clearly from the time we booked through our day off. Definitely recommend!
The DJ sets the whole vibe for a wedding and can either make or break it. The process from start to finish was so easy. Tony Ho, the owner, did a call with us and answered all our questions before booking. We chose Brian Keck as our DJ, and he did not disappoint. They have an online portal where you input all your music choices for all important moments and then a section for music you want to hear at the reception. We went over all the music a week before the wedding and Brian did not miss a beat. He made us feel so comfortable and was flexible about switching up the music if we wanted. He was very informative and kept asking us throughout the night if the music was okay and if we wanted to hear anything else as the night was wearing down. Our reception was in a banquet hall so we could hear the music on either side during toasts and dinner and Brian made sure to try to pull the attention back towards us and made jokes about it. Overall, we are truly happy with our experience
Energetic & Engaging
Ray was a great addition to our wedding team! He was energetic and got our wedding guests on their feet for the whole night. We would highly recommend Ray for any event!
10 out of 10
Our wedding was on October 26th at Two Brothers Roundhouse. I wanted there to be barely any stress when planning the wedding. The team at Sounds Abound did just that! Super easy forms to fill out and our DJ Geoff was great with understanding my music choice even though I didn’t have songs I needed to be played! Everyone loved the music and enjoyed the Photo Booth we got. This is the place to go if you want a company that understands your our needs!
Fire All Night Long!
I am so happy we chose Tony Ho to be our DJ! The whole process was so easy from the very beginning! Great communication, and he really listened to what we were looking for in a playlist. The dance floor was on fire all night, and the photobooth was a hit as well. Would highly recommend!
Crafted the PERFECT Wedding Day!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Keith from Sounds Abound took the time to get to know us through several calls, genuinely listening to our unique, nerdy preferences and inside jokes. He crafted a classy yet geeky video-game themed dinner playlist that perfectly set the mood. The reception was a blast, with energetic music that kept everyone dancing and celebrating all night. As a host, Keith was fantastic—announcing everyone promptly and keeping the event running smoothly. During our ceremony, he expertly managed the microphones and swiftly handled a technical hiccup to ensure everything went seamlessly. We highly recommend Keith and Sounds Abound for making our special day unforgettable!
Steve was wonderful!
We had a great experience with Sounds Abound and our DJ Steve. Steve was wonderful to work with, listened to all our requests, and was extremely attentive and helpful on the day of the wedding! Steve was great at explaining everything and sharing his opinion and expertise. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend Steve!
50th Anniversary
Geoff arranged our music which we picked and it was outstanding. He made the whole evening trully a night to remember for our family and friends. I couldn’t recommend him enough. What a great guy.
Professional Service at Affordable Pricing!
“So happy with our DJ from Sounds Abound! We loved the planning tools and the online support is easy to use and made the entire process go smoothly! The owner, Tony Ho is extremely responsive and friendly and provided excellent customer service! The payment schedule and communication is very organized! We selected specific music for our ceremony, cocktails, special dances and made many suggestions for the evening of dancing! Our DJ, Brian spent an hour on the phone with us a few weeks before the wedding and we went over all the details. His experience helped immensely and he made several valuable suggestions. Brian kept the entire event running smoothly and provided us with a variety of music for all of our guests including older and younger groups and made sure everyone was out on the dance floor! We can’t say enough about the professional service and affordable pricing at Sounds Abound!”
Absolutely Amazing!!!!
DJ Ray Jones was Absolutely Amazing!!!! Full Dance Floor All Night!!!!!
The PERFECT PARTY!
The perfect party! Thanks for an amazing evening! Thanks for going above and beyond with making the evening very special, understanding my music play list with just mentioning one song! Angel Eyes. Wow!!! Everyone including myself, the little ones all had a fabulous time dancing, smiling, laughing and singing.🥳 THANK YOU!!!
Love you Tony!
I have known Tony for YEARS and already knew that he was the best in the business. As the bride this time, that confirmed and exceeded everything that I already knew. Tony was fantastic in making sure that the song selections we picked were played and highlighted. Not only that, he was so good at reading the room and creating an environment on the dance floor that all the guests enjoyed. The morning after the wedding, we got nothing but amazing compliments on Tony from our friends and family that attended.
We cannot recommend Tony enough, the services and ease of planning leading into the wedding were outstanding. Coupled with his easy going demeanor, he put my husband and I in a great mood the minute he arrived at the venue. We highly recommend Tony and Sounds Abound Entertainment to any couple, party, etc. who is looking for professional, quality service & a great party!
Love you Tony!
YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
We went with Tony Ho as our DJ for our wedding and we could not be happier! Throughout the whole process the Sounds Abound office sent emails informing us of what to expect and what was needed from us. They were quick to respond to emails and easy to work with. There was an online platform to select songs you want to hear or do not want to hear and Tony made sure that if there was a song we wanted that wasn’t in their catalog, they got it! He specifically said what the bride wants, the bride gets! Tony did a fantastic job of introducing the bridal party, letting the guests know important information about our guest book and the late night snack, and ensuring we had the best vibe of music at all times! I would recommend Sounds Abound and Tony Ho specifically time and time again. YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
Highly Recommend!
We were so happy Sounds Abound was available for our wedding date! Brian was our DJ and he was very flexible and accommodating with our music selection and what we wanted for our reception. Brian gave us really helpful recommendations for timing and song selections based on his experience in the industry which we appreciated as well. We really enjoyed working with Brian and highly recommend!
Personalized, Meaningful, and One of a Kind!
Tony Ho was our DJ and was absolutely fantastic to work with and the best DJ! He made sure everything was personalized to the way we liked it. The information sheet and Spotify playlist tool he uses makes the process so easy. We had multiple guests at the wedding tell us that this was the best DJ at a wedding that they had ever heard. Tony kept the night fun, meaningful, and one that will be remembered forever. Tony’s attention to detail, genuine care for his clients, and all around DJing expertise makes him one of a kind. The next time that we have a big event that requires a DJ, we definitely know who we are calling! We can’t say enough great things about Tony & Sounds Abound!
The Best Day of our Lives!
Thank you for being the Life of the Party on our wedding day. We cannot thank you enough for incorporating all of our favorite music into our wedding day so perfectly (And for all the TSwift too)!!! We are so glad that we chose you as our DJ and cannot thank you enough for sharing your talent with us. Thank you again for making our wedding the best day of our lives.
Absolutely Amazing DJ – A Key Part of Our Perfect Wedding!
Absolutely Amazing DJ – A Key Part of Our Perfect Wedding!
We hired Ray for our wedding, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience! From the very first consultation to the final song of the night, Ray was professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable.
The music selection was perfect—from the ceremony to the reception, every song was spot on. Ray took the time to understand our style and preferences, but also read the crowd so well, ensuring that the dance floor was packed all night. Guests of all ages were on their feet, and the energy was electric!
Beyond the music, Ray was incredibly organized. The timeline was executed seamlessly, and they even helped coordinate key moments (like our grand entrance, first dance, and toasts) so that everything flowed without a hitch.
What truly stood out was Ray’s ability to create an atmosphere that was fun, lively, and just the right amount of classy. We had so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the music was, and how much fun they had dancing all night.
If you’re looking for a DJ who is not just about playing great music but also about creating an experience, look no further. Ray Jones helped make our wedding a day we’ll never forget. We couldn’t be more grateful!
AMAZING! Best Dance Floor Ever!
We worked with Sounds Abound and requested Tony Ho as our DJ. He was amazing to work with leading up to the wedding, listening to us, offering his own ideas, and ensuring that our exact requests were included! He was AMAZING during the ceremony and reception and totally leaned into the vibes that we wanted for the night! We got so many compliments from our guests about how awesome our DJ was and how we had the best dance floor ever! I’m so happy we were able to work with Tony and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for great wedding vibes !

Ray was an outstanding wedding DJ, bringing incredible energy and professionalism to our special day. From the moment the reception began, he expertly set the tone with the perfect music selection, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. His skillful transitions between songs ensured a seamless flow, while his engaging and fun personality as an MC kept everything moving smoothly. Ray’s ability to read the crowd and make announcements with warmth and charisma created a lively, memorable atmosphere that everyone enjoyed.

Highly recommend Sounds Abound and definitely recommend Matt!!
Highly Recomend Mike Macie!!!
Sounds Abound/DJ Mike Macie were great on our big day! Mike worked well managing both our specific song choices and when we asked for specific genre’s. The music flowed smoothly throughout the night. It’s nice that there systems are compatible with top music streaming platforms like Spotify to make sure your exact song is selected. We also appreciated Mike taking care of all the announcements throughout the evening to keep things on pace! Would highly recommend!
The BEST Time!
We had an amazing experience with Geoff from Sounds Abound! We were able to select our “must play”, “top 100” and “do not play” songs, and from there he made a great playlist for our day. He kept the energy up on the dance floor with quick transitions and a fun mix of songs. He was also super helpful with announcing events like wedding party entrances, speeches, first dances etc. We would highly recommend Geoff and Sounds Abound – and are so grateful they were a part of our day!
