“Absolute perfection. An amazing night and everything was perfect. Had everyone on the dance floor young and old, and the flow of the event was great. Keep Keith as a DJ!”

Erin & Gary – October 13, 2012

“Since the day we walked into the office, everyone at Sounds Abound exceeded our expectations in terms of professionalism, friendliness, and customer service. Sounds Abound provided our DJ, up lighting, and photo booth – all of which were a huge hit at our wedding. The day of the wedding was so crazy and I am eternally grateful for Sounds Abound being on hand and having everything taken care of – I didn’t have to worry about a thing and was blown away by all the previously mentioned services when I entered the room! Thank you guys so, so much!Wanted to especially thank Keith, our DJ – he ensured that the ceremony went off without a hitch and was so, so wonderful at the reception keeping us on our “time line,” coordinating a number of special dances and surprise performances, and just infusing the reception with energy and keeping everyone dancing all night long. I could not have asked for a better DJ!”

Julie & Brian – October 6, 2012

“Keith was awesome! We had so many details and requests and they all not only went smoothly, but perfectly!”

Maureen & Nick – September 15, 2012

“Keith, Thank you so very much for doing such an AWESOME job at our wedding!! Nick and I had a fabulous time at the reception, and I am still getting notes and messages from friends and family about how great the night was.Everything that you played was great – Nick and I are usually the last people you will find out on the dance floor, but we ended up dancing almost the entire night. I think we only spoke 2 times over the phone, but it seemed as if we had laid out a playlist for the entire night. It’s like you read our minds on what we wanted to hear!We cannot thank you enough for keeping the night running smoothly and playing such good music. You were fantastic and I plan to recommend you to everyone I know getting married in the Chicago area. Thank you again!”

Nicole & Jeff – September 1, 2012

“Keith did a wonderful job in making sure things ran smoothly and that the dance floor was always packed. He was energetic and enthusiastic without trying to steal the show. At the end of the night, everyone was raving about how much fun they had and how great the music variety was. I cannot thank Keith and the Sounds Abound staff for making sure my wedding reception was perfect.”

Mary & Joe – August 25, 2012

“We had a fantastic experience with Keith and Tony at our wedding! The dance floor was never empty. They played a great variety of songs, plus all the songs we had on our “Must Play List”. Keith was exactly the type of DJ we wanted: He lead the party but didn’t interfere with the party. We had so many compliments from people of all ages about the DJs, everyone was thrilled with the mix of music.”

Jennifer & Tim – August 11, 2012

“Everything was great from day one. Our DJ Keith was awesome. He played the exact music that we wanted and more. He was engaging to all our guests but in no way overbearing. With all the little things that you have to worry about when planning a wedding, it was nice that I knew from the start that I had nothing to worry about with Sounds Abound. They are very experienced and professional.”

Allison & John- July 20, 2012

We knew everything would be great, but you somehow managed to exceed our already high expectations. We cannot thank you enough!”

Denise & Mark – October 1, 2011

“Keith was awesome! My family and friends were very happy with the music and his personality. I appreciate that he really listened to what I requested he played and worked closely with Mark and I to ensure what we wanted to play was played. He was very flexible. Also we appreciate that you worked with us on a lighting package due to having the photo booth and DJ. The photo booth was a HUGE hit! THANK YOU for making my day awesome!!!!! You were great!”

Lisa & Mark – September 17, 2011

“Our DJ was Keith Talaga, and he was great!! He provided music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as set up a screen for a photo display during dinner (which we requested very last minute and Sounds Abound happily provided with no problem). We didn’t give him an extensive “Must play” list because we trusted that he could get our party rockin’ without it, and we were right! Keith kept everyone dancing all night, most people stayed til the very end, filling the dance floor! He completely kept to our Do-not-play list, and played requests our guests asked for! It was an awesome night, and I HIGHLY recommend using Keith and the rest of the guys at Sounds Abound for your party needs!!”

Brittany & Steve – September 10, 2011

“Keith was an awesome DJ! We loved that he took guest’s requests and played them right away; no one was waiting all night to hear their request. He had the entire wedding on the dance floor all night!”

Kristin & Michael – August 27, 2011

“Sounds Abound was excellent from the start. The second we walked in the door, we felt welcome and like our event was as important as any other. I truly felt like you could provide the service you promised and we wouldn’t have to worry. From the follow up calls and emails leading up to our wedding, to the actual DJ at our event, everything was awesome. Keith was great. We talked a few days prior and everything we discussed was spot on. He was everything we wanted and kept the dance floor packed! Would highly recommend Sounds Abound to everyone!!! I can’t think of a single thing that we would have changed in our event. Sounds Abound was just that good.”

Jarael & Nick – August 20, 2011

“My overall experience with Sounds Abound was perfect. From start to finish I was so impressed! Keith was the best DJ I have ever seen at a wedding, he played everything that I asked, was accommodating when necessary, and kept the party going the entire time! I have gotten so many compliments on the great job that he did! We were very pleased and I will recommend Sounds Abound to everyone that I know! You all are doing a great job.”

Brooke & Tom – August 12, 2011

Lauren & Kevin – May 21, 2011

“Sounds Abound exceeded our expectations. From the moment we sat with Jeff Wells in the office, we were impressed. The online planner tool made everything so easy for us, and made conversations with our DJ, Keith, go smoothly. Keith did an exceptional all around job – he was extremely responsive and catered to our every need. He nailed all the announcements with impeccable timing (always checking with us or others to see if we were ready), got the crowd going, and kept the dance floor going the entire night, reading the crowd perfectly. We are still getting comments on how awesome you guys were and will definitely be recommending Sounds Abound to all our friends and family in the future.”

Amy & Irakli – April 30, 2011

“Keith was awesome! I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. He is extremely professional, detailed and a perfect match to our wedding. Everyone was so excited about the music he played. There was not an occupied seat in the room most of the night! We received so many compliments that it was the best wedding they’ve been too. The music is obviously a #1 one reason why – we appreciate the great memories!Love, Amy & Irakli”

Jessica & Darren – March 26, 2011

“I just wanted to send an e-mail letting you know how amazing Keith did at our wedding. I am still getting compliments on what an outstanding job he did. A bride only asks for a few things to absolutely go well on her wedding day. 1. people are dancing at the reception and the floor is not empty and 2. people stay until the end! Thanks to Keith, both of those wishes came true! He played a great combination of music that got everybody on the dance floor and even my 70 year old grandparents stayed till the end dancing! He did such a great job helping us plan ahead of time and come up with some great ideas. I am just very grateful for him making our reception something we will remember for years and our families are still talking about! I would highly recommend Keith and Sounds Abound to any couple looking for a reception that everybody will have a memorable time! Thank you again for everything.”

Lori & Brandon – October 30, 2010

Amber & Robert – July 17, 2010

“Keith was an amazing DJ for the reception. I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was so packed the ENTIRE time. He did a great job feeling out the crowd and knew how to keep it moving, he realized that they were not a slow song type of crowd and kept the dance music coming. He threw a couple slow ones in at the perfect time. I have been receiving so many compliments about what a great time people had and how the music/DJ was outstanding!!!! Thank you so much!”

Jen & Jeff – July 10, 2010

“Keith did a fantastic job with our reception! He was very professional and organized throughout the entire process. He took the time to meet with us before our big day and answered all of our questions and offered some really helpful advice for selecting music for our reception. Keith was very flexible and let us make changes and additions to our selections days before the wedding. He put together a variety of music to keep the dance floor packed all night! Our family and friends had a blast! Thank you Keith and Sounds Abound! We look forward to recommending you to all of our friends and family!”

Molly & Jake – June 26, 2010

“The experience we had with Keith was amazing. He played all the music to keep our guests on the dance floor. There was never a dull moment and he fit in well with our guests. He also went above and beyond that night, including helping our photographer find my missing toss bouquet, and making sure all of our last minute, day of secret events went off without a hitch. We couldn’t have had more positive compliments about Keith from our guests. Thanks Keith for an unforgettable night!”

Amy & Brian – June 19, 2010

“Our experience with Sounds Abound DJ Service was excellent. Our DJ, Keith, was everything we could have asked for in a DJ. Not only did he uphold excellent professionalism, but he was very charismatic and fun the entire evening. He was extremely accommodating with all of our requests, yet still utilized his professional talent, and kept the music flowing perfectly from the beginning of cocktail hour until the last song of the night. Our dance floor was full the entire evening, with everyone from our grandparents to our college friends. To further explain our exceptional experience with Keith, we heard not once, but multiple times from various guests this comment: “That was the best DJ at a Wedding I’ve ever heard.” Kudos to Keith, and thanks again to him and Sounds Abound, for helping to make our wedding reception truly wonderful!!”
