Barry (Father) -Eliana's Bat Mitzvah - January 14, 2012
"David, along with his crew of Chris and Ernesto, received rave reviews with every comment. Improvements for the future? I would think it difficult to improve on perfection."
Nan - HPD Veolia Co. Holiday Party - December 2, 2011
"So easy to work with Sounds Abound. Improvements for the future: I don't believe you can improve your services."
Malinda & Michael - November 12, 2011
"I would have to say that I am not one for filling out survey requests but in this case I will make an exception because David Wilner did such an excellent job. I would also have to say he was our best vendor, with the exception of our venue. Prior to my wedding, I sent my wedding planner a detailed outline with spreadsheets and hyperlinks for our wedding day. Such information also included the vendors we used. I told her she would not have any issues with David because he was very professional and competent. She enjoyed working with him as did my husband and I. We have 2 sets of friends getting married next year and we have referred David's name to them. We hope they use him because he was great. From our first meeting with him, we never had any doubt that he would do a fantastic job. We really appreciate that he was always on top of everything and changed our music requests on the spot without incident when asked. So a big thank you to David and his partner."
Elaine (Mother) - Maddy's Bat Mitzvah - November 5, 2011
"Everyone had a great time at the Bat Mitzvah. They had a lot of fun and appreciated that the kids were entertained and the time just flew by."
Patricia (Mother) - Nathan's Bar Mitzvah - October 29, 2011
"David was terrific. He engaged with the kids and made sure to have the kids involved in the games . In addition, he integrated beautifully the music for our adult guests and to top it he included music of our different heritage. We got lots of complements about our DJ. Thanks David W. you were awesome."
Tiffany & James - September 17, 2011
"David was very professional and attentive. He followed our timeline and music preferences and everything flowed really smoothly!"
Cindy (Mother) - Michael's Bar Mitzvah - August 20, 2011
"My husband and I are so impressed with Sounds Abound, David Wilner and his team!!! From the first phone call to your company, I knew I was in the right hands. I watched David's video and knew he would be excellent, however, he far exceeded our expectations. Our every wish was fulfilled. David organized the entire evening for us and made my son feel like a star at his Bar Mitzvah party!! I did not have one worry(only fun)! The children (all 59 of them) NEVER left the dance floor. He kept the kids engaged in the most creative games and dances. My son continues to receive emails and texts about having the BEST PARTY EVER!!!! My parents and the older crowd loved them just as much!!!! If we ever have another occasion and need a DJ, I will NEVER look elsewhere. An ENORMOUS THANK-YOU to David, Mike and Chris and Sounds Abound!"
Jenny & Mark - July 23, 2011
"David and his assisant were very good and professional. In some regards the great thing was that David always was communicating with us and working with us to make our night great. David was great and we will refer any friends his way. We could not have been any happier with him. He was very professional but also wanted to have a good time with us and that was great. Our pre-wedding meeting with him was top notch and we always felt comfortable. Thanks for a great day David. David was great at emailing and staying in touch with us at all times and was always accessible to answer even the smallest of concerns."
Kiva & Joel - July 16, 2011
"I had already attended 4 friends weddings with a Sounds Abound DJ, so I knew I would be in good hands. David went above and beyond my expectations of Sounds Abound! David and everyone at Sounds Abound were wonderful!!! David did such a great job meeting with me and really understanding the feel we wanted for our wedding reception. All the attention to detail between the up-lighting, photo booth and video montage were all spot on. It has been weeks since our wedding and we are still hearing rave reviews about how great the music was and how packed the dance floor was all night! I would recommend Sounds Abound to anyone!"
Lauren & Michael - June 18, 2011
"Thanks for a great night! Mike and I had a great time dancing with all of our family and friends."
Lisa & David - May 28, 2011
"It was a pleasure to work with David Wilner from start to finish. We pretty much let him make the calls on all the songs of the evening and he did an amazing job. The dance floor was jumping the whole night long! I would HIGHLY recommend these guys to anyone!"
Rita & Mike - April 9, 2011
"David Wilner was wonderful! He was so attentive to my
husband and I, through the whole wedding. I did not have to
stress about anything, David had everything under control. I
did not only want a great DJl, but i also wanted a great master
of ceremony. I have never seen a better master of ceromony.
The guest were always entertained and coming up to me, telling
me, how organized the wedding was. David had a huge part to
the timing of everything in the wedding. We were so lucky to
have found David. We had the best wedding, we could have ever
asked for, all thanks to David! Perfect."
Jackie & Chris - April 2, 2011
"Would highly recommend David Wilner. Outstanding job,
very professional."
Dave & Judy - Ethan's Bar Mitzvah - January 22, 2011
"David, I just wanted to drop you a line and say Thank
You for Ethan's party Saturday night. We had no idea that the
kids were going to be so crazy. You handled the party very professionally
and did a great job!! We heard from the adults and the kids
that the party was awesome. You're a fantastic MC. Thanks again."
Gina & Paul - December 31, 2010
"We had David Wilner and Roger Yee at our wedding on 12/31/10
at Hotel Arista, and they were both phenomenal! We were completely
impressed with the level of service they provided! The week
before our wedding, David asked us to come in to meet us and
discuss the event. We left that meeting feeling very comfortable
and confident that the night would be a success, thanks to David’s
charismatic personality and clear commitment to doing an outstanding
job. Everything he told us in that initial meeting was absolutely
true on the day of the wedding. David truly set the tone for
the evening – he was in communication with us and our wedding
party all evening (this was especially important because I was
feeling pretty ill all evening and was pretty nervous about
the impact it would have on our guests’ experience). We had
a gigantic wedding party and he had no problem directing them
for the wedding party introductions! He was an absolutely professional
on the microphone while he was addressing our guests, and was
successful in getting everyone up and moving on the dance floor
– their choice of music was ideal for our group and his enthusiasm
matched! We saw people dancing that we never would have guessed
would be on the dance floor! As our wedding was on New Year’s
Eve, midnight was an important part of the evening – the music
David chose to segue into midnight and the timing of countdown
he provided was just perfect. I think the true testimonial for
the success of their service was proven at midnight – as we
looked around the room the dance floor was overflowing with
our guests ringing in the new year. Every single person was
on their feet! Many of our guests commented on how impressed
they were with the DJs, saying that they had never seen a DJ
that truly become a Master of Ceremonies and direct the evening
so professionally and successfully. We want to get married all
over again just to have the party created for us by David! We
will absolutely be recommending your service (and especially
David) to every single person we know of having an event! Thank
you so much, Sounds Abound!
Mike - Elena's Bat Mitzvah - December 11, 2010
"I just wanted to say we were extremely happy with David's
performance last Saturday. As usual, David was very helpful
(to me!) , and with his combination of energy and creativity
made the afternoon very enjoyable for both the kids and the
adults. The slide show montage turned out very well too. Please
tell the video-grapher he did a great job on it. Again- thanks
to all at Sounds Abound for making my daughter's special day
that much more special."
Lisa - Corporate Event - December 10, 2010
"Our company has used Sounds Abound for several years
now, and has not been disappointed! Granted, we have used David
Wilner all but one of the times, so what would one expect. Thank
you, David, for another successful event!!! Best DJ Ever!"
Melodie & Robert - October 16, 2010
"From start to finish I was very impressed with the entire
staff at Sounds Abound. Our DJ, David Wilner, was amazing and
did an excellent job with the announcements, song selection,
and keeping everyone involved during the entire night. David
did everything we needed him to and helped make our night perfect.
I will be sure to refer Sounds Abound to anyone looking for
a DJ in the future. If every experience is like the one we had,
I don't see how you can improve something that it nearly perfect."
Karen & Anthony - October 15, 2010
"Everything that night was spectacular. David was an excellent
MC and his DJing was awesome. Everyone had a blast and the music
was great. For our entrance song my wife and I had requested
a very non traditional song and David made it perfect. We couldn't
ask for a better experience. Thanks!"
Holly & Kevin - September 25, 2010
"David has done events for my family in the past. He is
very good at what he does and if we had to do it all over again,
we would choose him, no question. We will most definitely refer
David to others in addition to hiring him for any of our future
events."
Connie & Jeff - September 4, 2010
"David was the most amazing DJ ever! He worked with us
personally to make sure we were comfortable and to make us happy
with our music selections. He did an amazing job at the event!
He always made sure I was in the room for all the songs I really
wanted to hear. Many of our guests complemented me on such an
awesome DJ! They were all impressed just as we were! And his
assistant Roger was awesome too! Thank you so much David, it
wouldn't have been a party without you!"
Shay & Derrick - August 7, 2010
"David made our wedding that much more special. He listened to us and helped to make our reception amazing. Keep doing what you are doing!"
Samantha & Dave - August 6, 2010
"I was extremely happy with David and his assistant's
performance. I have gotten numerous compliments on how the night
flowed, the music that was played and the way that David kept
the energy amped up. My goal for the night was to see people
of all ages on the dance floor and I don't think there was a
single moment when the dance floor was empty. Everyone that
I have talked to since said "Best Wedding Ever!"
Julie & Carlo - June 18, 2010
"We thought David an excellent DJ. My sister, one of the
bridesmaids, was hit by a car before the ceremony, delaying
the wedding. David stepped up and helped handle the guests that
were waiting. We really appreciate his concern and the way he
took care of the situation. We definitely will recommend him
and Sounds Abound to friends."
Aaron's Bar Mitzvah - June 5, 2010
"David engaged the kids the moment they walked into the
room and kept them on the dance floor the whole afternoon. He
was able to get all of the adults on the floor as well, even
though the dance floor wasn't nearly big enough for all the
guests. He told me, without reservation, that I hired the best,
and that he would take care of the afternoon's entertainment.
He did just that. I received wonderful compliments from our
guests, kids and adults alike."
Suzanne (Bar Mitzvah) - February 6, 2010
"David has a great rapport with Bar Mitzvah age kids,
and that's not easy to do. They all relaxed and enjoyed the
activities he was leading. Music mix was fine, and David led
a particularly fine Horah. A number of folks commented on how
good David was with the kids. My adults were tough to get dancing,
but that happens sometimes, especially once the kids take over
the floor -- no one wants to be the first on the floor. Jordan
had a great time, and I would recommend David and Sounds Abound
to anyone who asks."
Joanna & Adam - November 21, 2009
"I know a number of people that have used Sounds Abound
and David Wilner, and I agree with everyone in saying they were
excellent. The whole process was very easy and stress free and
David made the night exactly how we wanted it. I never had to
worry about time or what was next, he was very efficient with
everything. The music selections were perfect and I wouldn't
have changed anything."
Linda & Sean - October 11, 2009
"David did a wonderful job with our wedding! He kept our
wedding flowing well since it took place in multiple rooms."
Jack's Bar Mitzvah
Dr. & Mrs. Alan R. Hirsch - October 9, 2009
"Just a quick note to tell you how fabulous David Wilner
was at our son's Bar Mitzvah last week. Everyone commented on
how great the music and games were. We have 2 more children
to go, and would not consider any other company or DJ. Thank
you for the service you provide and for sending David to our
party."
Melissa & Rick - October 4, 2009
"Sounds Abound did an excellent job! I was very pleased
with David Wilner. He was very knowledgeable and clearly "a
pro"! He was consistent, friendly and very dependable.
I would gladly recommend Sounds Abound and, specifically David
Wilner, to all my family and friends. Thank you for making my
wedding fun and special!"
Lindsey & Dan - September 19, 2009
"David did an amazing job and everyone is still talking
about how much fun it was. I would highly recommend him."
Becki & Keith - September 12, 2009
"David is amazing, which I already knew from a previous
wedding, but my guests have also told me how much they liked
him! David worked with our schedules, he helped us find an intro
song, he advised on good and bad music, he has an awesome personality."
Fishman Bat Mitzvah
Laura (Mother) - September 5, 2009
"I can't express enough how amazing David was as our DJ
for Emily's Bat Mitzvah reception. It is awesome how he gets
everyone involved, young,old, and everone in between. His assistants
were just great as well. They all motivated people and made
them feel comfertable getting involved. We also had Sounds Abound
make Emily's montage which was just wonderful! Of all the services
we had in the planning and excecuting of this event, I had more
compliments about our DJ than of anything else. David, once
again we thank you for making Emily's party an unforgetable
experience. We can't wait until our next event to choose David
and Sounds Abound. Thanks!!"
Esther & Pete - August 21, 2009
"David was wonderful, he was so easy to work with prior
to the ceremony and reception and during them he kept everything
moving and everyone loved the music he selected. I would definitly
recommend sounds abound and specifically David to anyone having
a wedding or a party."
Elida & Matthew - July 11, 2009
"Matt and I were extremely thrilled with our DJs. Our
main goal was for the dance floor to be filled the entire evening
with guests, and it was thanks to David and Matt! They did an
exceptional job with choosing songs that our guests enjoyed
dancing to and kept the evening going all night long. We could
not have asked for better DJs for our wedding reception. These
gentlemen did a tremendous job and were very personable. We
cannot thank them enough for the tremendous job they did! We
were asked by several couples about the DJ service, and to their
relief discovered they, too selected Sounds Abound!!"
Linda & Peter - July 10, 2009
"David Wilner (& Joe) as well as the entire Sounds
Abound team were second to none! The entire planning process
was a piece of cake and our guests had an awesome evening! I
was thoroughly impressed and would highly recommend them without
hesitation. Thank you so much for making our special evening
absolutely perfect....Honestly, I think Sounds Abound was a
great value...considering how well everything turned out."
Olivia & Scott - July 9, 2009
"David helped us through the difficult task of choosing
music that reflected both Olivia and my tastes without having
everything become too similar or too disconnected. David also
put us at ease about how the music would played and special
songs and requests would flow from one to another. At our wedding
David and Spencer got guests excited and dancing throughout
the evening which is exactly what we wanted. We had a black
tie optional wedding and both gentlemen looked great and fit
in with the high class look we wanted. I am not sure what else
we could possibly have asked for, everything was great and David
easily adapted to changes that occurred from the original plans.
We could not have been happier with the services they provided.
We plan to tell anyone who is planning a special event that
they can not go wrong with David, Spencer and staff at Sounds
Abound."
Pamela
DPI Specialty Food Corporation - July 8, 2009
"David is exceptional in professionalism & people
skills. He definately goes beyond his limits to draw a crowd
in. My customers had a ball and cannot wait until next year.
SO PLEASE PROTECT HIM, I will request his services next year.
Ladies think he is adorable. Keep doing what you're doing, we
will always come back....."
Linda & Dustin - July 3, 2009
"We'd just like to say that anyone that has David Wilner
for their DJ should know that they do not have anything to worry
about. Everything was done exactly how we wanted plus more.
From the very beginning after we met him we felt he would make
the wedding reception exactly what we wanted & it was. David
went above & beyond what we expected from our DJ. We can't
thank him enough for making our wedding reception the best time
of our lives. "
Jillian & Ryab - June 27, 2009
"David did a fantastic job as our reception DJ and MC.
I had so many compliments from our guests on what a wonderful
job he did. Our reception music was outstanding. The dinner
music was very classy and after the dance floor opened to our
guests it was completely packed the ENTIRE night!! All my guests
told me how much fun our reception was and what a great music
selection we had. David dressed and acted professionally and
did a great job communicating with us and the wedding party
throughout the evening. I highly recommend him and Sounds Abound!"
Rose (Mother of the Bride)
Jennifer & Christian - June 26, 2009
"Sounds Abound was very professional and easy to work
with. Since the bride and groom presently live in NY, the on-line
access was very helpful and convenient. David was able to keep
everyone happy and constantly on the dance floor. Thank you
for adding to the joy of our daughter's wedding!"
Victoria & Jordan - June 14, 2009
"David made everything so easy and stress free. His ability
to read the crowd reaction and keep the energy high made the
party amazing. When everything cooled off, David knew exactly
how to get the energy back up, and by the last half of the night,
everyone was on the dance floor until the lights came on. I
would recommend David and Sounds abound to anyone who wants
to have stress free planning and a great party."
Karen & David - June 13, 2009
" You were one of my favorite vendors to work with. You
made our wedding planning so much easier and I didn't have to
worry about the music. We really appreciated how friendly and
organized our DJ was. He was absolutely wonderful to work with
at our reception and our guests commented on how great David
was."
Lisa & Scott - June 6, 2009
"Scott and I want to thank David for an amazing wedding
reception. He was so great at talking with our guests and being
a true Master of Ceremonies for the evening. We didn't have
to worry about a thing! The flow of events throughout the reception
was great, people were dancing all night long, and we have David
to thank for that. Our guests told us countless times how impressed
they were with David, and we couldn't agree more! Thanks to
David and Sounds Abound for an unforgettable evening! Keep doing
what you're doing, we were so pleased with your service and
communication throughout the planning process."
Sam R. (Father) - Alexandra's Bat Mitzvah - May 24, 2009
"Just wanted to drop you a short note about how wonderful
Sounds Abound was at my daughter's recent bat mitzvah. David
and his crew were phenomenal! Not only did they get the party
started by involving the kids in games right away, David kept
it going by creating a fun and welcoming environment for all
of my daughter's friends and family. I was blown away by David's
ability to connect with the kids and adults alike, quickly memorizing
the kids' names, gently ribbing the adults, and keeping the
mood fun and lively. His music picks were awesome, and the games
and dances he taught were really engaging and fun. My daughter's
friends are still talking about the party a week later, and
I know the reason is David and Sounds Abound. The room we chose
was functional, the food was good, but it was Sounds Abound
that made the reception a party. I didn't understand how important
the right DJ was before this event, but now that I know about
Sounds Abound, I wouldn't recommend anyone try to throw a party
without them! Thank you, Sounds Abound!"
Hillary & Matthew - May 23, 2009
"David did a great job of organizing and keeping our wedding
on track. People were on the dance floor all night, which is
exactly what we wanted. He stuck to our song choices and everyone
commented afterwards at how great the music and atmosphere of
the wedding was, and all thanks to David!!"
Becky & Phil - May 9, 2009
"David did such a great job. The entrances went exactly
as we had wanted. We had such a great time at the reception
and so did everyone else. The music kept people dancing all
night long. I don't think I sat down the whole night. Thank
you so much!"
Joyce & David - April 25, 2009
"Excellent job on both DJ's! David easily got our guests
attention. He's well mannered to everyone. He handled and took
over the program and reception timeline very well."
Jennifer & Jeff - April 11, 2009
"David Wilner was our DJ/musican and was absolutely fantastic!
We couldn't have found a better person. He was accomodating
to all our requests and helped us pick music that would compliment
what was going on. Our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception
was awesome! Our guests were so impressed with is piano playing
at the ceremony and the cocktail hour, I am still getting emails
and comments on him. He was personable and interacted well with
everyone. He got our guests up and dancing and excited. He kept
the energy high and the dance floor packed. We would hire him
again in a heartbeat."
Beth & Mike - December 27, 2008
"David was great at the wedding. We found him to be very
professional. After almost 2 months after our wedding ,we are
still hearing from our guests how great the music was and comments
on how it was one of the best weddings they have been at. David
was great with interacting with all our guests. Sounds Abound
was a great company to work with, they made the whole process
of picking music for the wedding simple."
Nicole & Dan - November 29, 2008
"David was an amazing DJ. He went above and beyond to
make sure the night ran smoothly and everyone had a fantastic
time. I have heard from a lot of guests comments like, "Your
DJ was amazing and really did a super job". Outstanding job
overall! Couldn't have been happier! From the intros to the
last song, he exceeded my expectations!"
Michele & James - November 15, 2008
"David Wilner not only met our needs, he anticipated the
ones we didn't realize we had. He's a true professional--friendly,
skillful and efficient. We could not have made a better choice
for a DJ. He was great during the planning stage, and he and
his assistant, Chris, made sure our wedding was fun for our
guests and delightfully memorable for my husband and me. Thank
you, David and Sounds Abound!"
Melissa & Ken - October 24, 2008
"We can't say enough good things about David! Having him
as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our reception.
Not only did he get things going, but he kept them going the
whole night with no input form us. It's amazing to watch David
work and see how he can read the crowd and adjust the music
to keep the dance floor moving! Even Melissa's grandparents
stayed for the whole evening, and they never stick around for
these kind of events! David is awesome, awesome, awesome!"
Colleen & Jimmy - October 11, 2008
"We loved everything about dealing with Sounds Abound,
from our initial meeting at the office, to the online event
planner, to the performance of David at our wedding. He was
so wonderful to work with and was great with all of our wedding
guests. "Everyone has had great compliments about him and
he just really made our night a wonderful party. We couldn't
be more grateful for his work!"
Karen & Charlie - September 20, 2008
"Our DJ, David Wilner, used his many talents to make my
wedding a wonderful and memorable day. His piano performance
during cocktail hour was amazing. The songs he played were conducive
to conversation. The bridal party introductions were perfect.
We admired the way he played the music we selected and also
chose additional songs that kept everyone dancing and enjoying
the reception. David was a professional in every aspect. He
was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. He
spent the time getting to know us before the wedding and did
not monopolize our time with questions during the reception.
From the video montage to the last dance, Sounds Abound did
a teriific job. Thank you."
Carrie & Matthew - September 19, 2008
"David Wilner and his assistant Matt were excellent. Could
not have asked for two better people. With David handling everything,
there was nothing for us to worry about, from the ceremony to
the reception. David made sure that the night was all about
us. He did what we asked of him and then some. David's music
selections were excellent and the dance floor was busy! Thank
you so much for helping to make our wedding day a memorable
one."
Dawn & Jason - September 7, 2008
"David Wilner was our DJ and he was very helpful getting
our music choices together and was there for any questions and
concerns. He made us feel very relaxed and confident the music
would be great and it was fabulous. I would recommend David
as a DJ for anyone I know."
Heather & Brian - August 31, 2008
"David helped us so much at our wedding. He has such a
wonderful sense of time and really was able to help keep the
flow of the wedding together. He was beyond excellent and really
made the experience so wonderful! The guests had a great time,
we had a great time, and everything we wanted to hear or was
requested was played."
Vineeta & Chris - August 30, 2008
"David did a great job at the wedding. His timing with
song selection was excellent and he kept the party going strong
all night long. The dance floor was packed the whole time which
was all we wanted. It was so great that at the end people did
not want it to be over! We would highly recommend him."
Erin & David - August 23, 2008
"The experience with Sounds Abound was professional and
courteous from the moment we were first in contact with this
agency throughout our wedding day. Staff is responsive and knowledgable
which made the process smooth. Our DJ David Wilner was entertaining,
fun, professioinal and selected songs that kept everyone on
the dance floor. It is obvious he has years of experience doing
weddings, and I would recommend this company to future brides
and grooms most highly."
Tiffany & Brandon - August 8, 2008
"I wanted to write to let you know how happy my wife and
I were with the professionalism of both David and Chris. We
had hired David upon first meeting him as he put both my wife
and I completely at ease. From the word go we knew that he would
do a great job, however we could never have imagined how great.
David and Chris helped to make our wedding "the best wedding
I have been to" on numerous accounts. Their professionalsm
was second to none. The music selection was exactly as my wife
and I wanted, which in turn kept the party going and was a perfect
compliment to the theme we were striving for. David was more
than extremely helpful in setting up, planning, and executing
the event exactly to our liking. Not only was David's DJing
amazing, but his MCing was just as impressive if not better.
He controlled the room, and made sure that no guest missed any
of our important moments. To say that we were satisfied with
David would be an understatement of enormous proportions. David
exceeded every expectation we could have had for a DJ, and we
will be recommending them to any and all who need a professional
who takes his clients more seriously than himself, which is
a welcomed change in your industry. I could go on, but I have
work to do. Amazing! David, thank you again. It was our sincere
pleasure to have you there!"
Melissa and Bryan - June 28, 2008
What else can I say about our experience with Sounds Abound
and David Wilner other than spectacular!! Not only did Melissa
and I feel like it was the BEST party we have ever been to,
but everyone that we have talked to could not stop raving about
what a great time they all had at our wedding. When you start
hearing from older people (who have most likely been to many
weddings) that it was the best wedding they have ever been to,
you know that something went right. David kept the dance floor
packed all night and several people, including Melissa, NEVER
left the floor! In addition to the wonderful music that David
played, he was truly a calming presence for Melissa and I as
we got closer to the wedding date. We never worried about anything.
We felt like although we only spoke to David 5 or 6 times during
the wedding process, we were leaving the wedding reception with
a friend. Amazing work David....and thanks Sounds Abound!!
Bridget & Brent - June 21, 2008
"After our meeting with David prior to the wedding day,
we felt very comfortable and relieved to have a professional
such as David working at our wedding. He did an excellent job
and kept people on the dance floor the entire night. He respected
our wishes of what songs that we did not want to be played contrary
to several requests, while at the same time offering something
similar that would work just as well. One thing that we both
liked was that he was checking in with us from time to time
throughout the night and making sure that everything was going
well... it was the personal touch that really set David apart
from other DJs."
Angela & Remington - June 20, 2008
"Our reception was amazing, thanks in part to our wonderful
DJ! David Wilner did a fantastic job the entire evening and
kept the party rocking on the dance floor! Everyone had so much
fun and was sad to see the night end, which is a testament to
how fast time flies when you're having so much fun. David was
so helpful and a pleasure to work with leading up to the big
day and we truly enjoyed having him there be a big part of the
big day itself! Thanks to David for helping us throw an amazing
reception. We've received endless amounts of compliments on
the DJ and music for the evening and we will definitely recommend
Sounds Abound in the future! Thank you for helping to make our
wedding the best night of our lives."
Laura & Erik - June 14, 2008
"David Wilner and assistant Chris, were outstanding! From
our initial meeting with David and our follow-up meeting just
before the wedding, David listened to all our requests for the
evening reception putting us at complete ease that our day would
be special. In addition, David and Crhis worked together so
smoothly that there were no interuptions in the flow of the
evening. David was cognizant of the varied ages of the wedding
guests and most definitely played to that mixed audience. Moreover,
there was never a moment that music was playing that the dance
floor was empty. In fact, we had a full dance floor up to the
very end of the evening! Our wedding reception included all
the requested traditional moments to the untraditional with
ethnic selections AND an emotional and highly respected performance
by a former Illini Chief! Finally, nothing speaks more highly
about the professionalism and showmanship of a DJ and assistant
than to have guests repeatedly rave about them as well as inquire
about hiring Sounds Abound for future events."
Kate & Joe - May 25, 2008
"I could not have been more pleased with the performance
and service we received from our wedding DJ, David Wilner. When
choosing our DJ, it was very important that he get to know both
Joe and I well enough that the music played would be just what
we would have chosen (or better) - and we were not let down!
David took the time to have several meetings with us along the
way and genuinely understood what type of music we preferred
and how involved we wanted him to be. We have received MANY
compliments from our guests about the music and his commentary
throughout the evening, and he really kept our party going until
the very end! We couldn't be happier! Additionally, when we
ran into a small problem during our wedding, I was so grateful
to David as our DJ. His professionalism and problem-solving
abilities were outstanding when it came to resolving the situation.
He took matters into his own hands and did not allow me to worry
in the slightest, which was wonderful! We have nothing but good
things to say about his performance and service, so please feel
free to use us as a reference in the future."
Stephanie & Joel - October 27, 2007
"Our wedding reception was perfect and that is due in
a large part to David Wilner. David adjusted his schedule to
meet with us the week of the wedding and was so friendly and
had great advice and suggestions for us. The reception itself
ran so smoothly and we never once worried about timing or if
people were having a good time. David organized the event so
perfectly and kept us up to date throughout the event as to
what was coming next. The dance floor was packed all night long,
I know we never once left the dance floor. We would highly recommend
David to anyone getting married in the area in the future. We
couldn't have asked for a more professional, friendly, fun,
organized DJ to be at our wedding. Thank you so much David!"
Maria & Shan - October 6, 2007
"We absolutely enjoyed our entire experience with Sounds
Abound Entertainment from the initial meeting with our DJ, David
Wilner, to the selection of music, to David's performance at
our wedding. We have heard nothing but praise for his interactions
with guests, introductions, and musical selections throughout
the night. Our experience was exactly what we were looking for
and we would not change a thing! Keep up the good work, professionalism,
and dedication to making customers' experiences worth remembering!!!"
Lauren & Tom - September 29, 2007
"My wife and I got married in September and had the privilege
working with David Wilner for our wedding. I appologize it took
this long to respond, but I wanted to let you know how much
we appreciated David's efforts that day. From the first time
we worked with David, he proved that his only concern was making
sure that our day went perfectly. Whatever we wanted, we got,
and David was more than willing to give us excellent suggestions
to make the night memorable. Every person that we have talked
to about the wedidng claimed that it ws the most fun they ever
had. David had a great variety of music that kept everybody
dancing all through the night. His perfect balance of professionalism
and humor make him an excellent choice of DJ and MC. Lauren
and I were the first of our friends to get married, and we will
definitely be recommending Sounds Abound, specifically David
Wilner, as a top choice for a great DJ. I have been to weddings
where the DJ has had a negative impact on the enjoyment of the
guests: this was definitely not the case for our wedding. From
Lauren and myself, we wish to send our deepest thanks to David
for a great sales pitch about Sounds Abound in November of 2006,
and following it up with a knock out performance in September
of 2007. On a side note, please let David know that, ironically,
one of our guests in attendance also had David as his DJ for
his wedding: the ironic part is that Lauren and I attended that
wedding as our first date in 2002. Again, thank you to Sounds
Abound for a great evening: and thank you to David Wilner for
maiking our wedding day everything we hoped it would be and
more."
Talya & Scott - September 2, 2007
"I had a fantastic experience with Sounds Abound, primarily
because of David Wilner who was the DJ for our wedding. David
is courteous, professional, friendly and warm to others, and
has an incredible perosnality. He was full of energy the entire
night and I've never seen the dance floor so crowded at an event
in my entire life. I received an endless number of compliments
after the wedding about how much fun our guests had dancing,
and many people told me that David had the best Hora (Jewish
wedding dance) that people have ever seen. Even my frinds who
aren't Jewish and haven't danced the Hora before said it was
"the best Hora ever." David was fantastic and I would
recommend him to anyone and everyone that needs a DJ/emcee for
their special event. Thanks for everything David and Sounds
Abound!"
Katherine & Daniel - June 23, 2007
"Sounds Abound did an outstanding job taking care of
our musical needs! David did exactly as we had asked...he made
our wedding reception into a party no one will ever forget!
It was incredible to see how many people came onto the dance
floor and never left. The sequence of selctions was outstanding
and our guests were treated with the utmost respect. We are
extremely grateful for the time David spent before the wedding
getting to know my husband and I personally. Thank you for a
job well done!!!"
Jullian & Brendan - June 9, 2007
"David Wilner was our DJ. He was wonderful. We had so
much fun when we first met with him to finalize our music for
our reception. We walked out of his office saying how excited
we were for our reception after we met David. He was an excellent
DJ. He played everything on our list and made our reception
a night we will never forget. He made everyone feel like a superstar
that night and everyone at the wedding loved him. He talked
with us throughout the night to make sure that things were going
according to our plan too, which was very helpful. I come from
a family of dancers, but there were a lot of people there who
were dancing all night because of him! The dance floor was packed
from start to finish. We have never had as much fun in our lives
as we did at our reception. I will recommend your DJ services
as well as David to anyone that is looking for a DJ. We could
not have been happier!"
Katie & Steve - June 2, 2007
"We absolutely loved our Sounds Abound DJ David. We had
so many family and friends come up to us telling us that this
was the best DJ they had at a wedding. Everyone enjoyed themselves.
If I ever need a DJ again or any one I know needs one I will
definitley give them your number. Thanks again for making our
wedding a memorable one that we will remember. Thanks!!!"
Lindsey & Logan - April 28, 2007
"We were quite impressed with our DJ, David! He was excellent!
He was responsive to all of our questions in the preliminary
planning stages. David provided great ideas for song suggestions
and helped us to plan the perfect line up. During the wedding
reception, we liked the fact that David took control of the
entertainmet portion, yet kept us posted on the sequence of
events. This prevented us from having to worry and remember
all of the small details. He was professional, friendly, energetic,
and quite the eloquent speaker. The guests all enjoyed his performance,
and the dance flooor was hopping all night long. We will certainly
recommend him to all of our friends!"
Michelle & Steve - February 10, 2007
"My husband and I found out about Sounds Abound Entertainment
while researching online for DJs for our wedding. Your website
is inviting and one of the more well organized and informative
sites that we had come across. We especially liked being able
to watch videos of each DJ's performance, and found your pricing
to be fair, so we made an appointment. We chose David Wilner
as our DJ for our wedding and wanted to let you know that we
could not have been more pleased with his performance. Not only
was David a pleasure to work with, he always made himself available
by giving us his cell phone number (which I was not afraid to
use!) so that if ever we had a question or needed help with
the online planner David was just a call away. After our wedding,
we received many compliments on the songs that David played,
and how the volume was loud enough to enjoy but not too loud
for the guests who were not out on the dance floor to have a
conversation. He paid special attention to the requests that
we made for things throughout the evening and periodically checked
in with us to make sure that everything was alright. People
packed the dance floor the whole night and did not want the
party to end. We had such a positive experience working with
David that we will definitely be recommending Sounds Abound,
specifically David Wilner, to our friends and family. Thank
you so very much!"
Beth & Mike - December 29, 2006
"There aren't words to describe how thrilled I was with
David for my wedding. he was beyond fantastic. Our guests loved
him as well, which is really important to me. I was completely
satisfied!"
Lisa & Scott - November 18, 2006
"We were VERY pleased with our Sounds Abound experience.
We talked with a least 15 other DJ companies and once we found
Sounds Abound we instantly knew you were the right company.
David Wilner was fabulous, both prior to the event and during
the event. he was very helpful with choosing the music that
worked for us. We knew that there was nothing to worry about
with David at the wheel. I will tell anybody and everybody about
David and Sounds Abound. David is a Huge asset for Sounds Abound!"
Jessica & Guy - October 7, 2006
"David's performance at our wedding was nothing short
of perfect. Not only did he play piano beautifully during the
cermony, but his skills as a DJ are great! He has a great voice,
is always professional, and knows how to read the crowd. We
had the dance floor packed all night, and he played EVERY song
that we asked for. He also coordinated with the rest of the
vendors to keep the evening flowing. I didn't have to worry
about a thing. You can tell he loves what he does. You Rock
David!"
Kimberly & Rick - August 19, 2006
"David was absolutely fabulous. He was energetic, friendly,
easy to get in touch with and took great care of us throughout
the night. After I first met with David to go over the details
for our wedding night, I felt so relieved to know that he would
be in charge of making sure everything went smoothly. I was
free to enjoy myself and never once glanced at the time. David
was always concerned with making sure my husband and I were
happy. He was very responsive to our music requests and the
requests of our guests. The online planner was also helpful
and easy to use. Rick and I visited the website several times
to choose the music we wanted to hear and prepare for the day.
Thank you for making everything so wonderful!"
Carrie & Nick - July 1, 2006
"David Wilner was our DJ and he and his assistant were
fabulous. He was very much in control and extremely charismatic,
which put me and my wife at ease. His music selection was exactly
in line with w3hat we wanted, and his command over the crowd
in rewpects to moving along the essential parts of the reception
was appreciated. I'm sorry that it has taken me this long to
write this review, but I would say that of all the things we
did for the reception we were most impressed and happy with
our DJ. Thanks to David and his assistant."
Laura & Darren r- May 12, 2006
"David was so wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a
better DJ. He played all the songs we chose in such a great
order that kept all our family and friends out on the dance
floor all night. I don't think there was a moment when no one
was out there....the kids had a ball!! We have had one compliment
after another on how wonderful the music was and how it was
just the best party after a beautiful wedding. So, we thank
you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so perfect!!"
Kelly & Roy - December 10, 2005
"I met with David before the wedding and felt so confident
in his ability to make the evening memorable. I left EVERYTHING
in his hands. He selected the PERFECT music for my guests, and
surprised even me with the amount of people he kept on the dance
floor all night (including me)!!! He completely understood what
kind of party I wanted it to be, and he NAILED IT! What a fabulous
time we all had!"
Marie & John - August 6, 2005
"David Wilner was the utmost professional. He fully understood
what we wanted at our reception and he far exceeded our expectations.
We provided David with an extensive song list that he did play.
In addition, he also played other songs of his choice, which
we were also very happy to hear. He set the tone for the evening
from the introductions to the very last song. The dance floor
was packed all night long. our family and friends are still
talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. Thak you
David!"
John & Terri (Parents of the Bride)
Palmer / Binkowski Wedding - December 18, 2004
"David was the DJ for our daughter's wedding on December
18, 2004. He was AWESOME! As he will tell you, the dance floor
was NEVER empty, partly due to our wonderful friends and family
and a large part to his ability to keep things going. He was
polite, friendly, courteous, sensitive to everyone in the room,
a wonderful speaker and he commanded the audience. We have received
many many compliments on his performance. We enjoyed him very
much, we had a great time at "OUR" party and the good
news for your company is that we were the first of many to follow,
so we will recommend your company and David in particular. Thanks
again."
Bill and Tracy - September 18, 2004
"David did a fantastic job of keeping the dance floor
packed - even past midnight. He also did a great job of respecting
what music we didn't want to hear - even when it was requested.
David's job with the music really set the tone for our evening,
and we were thrilled with the service we received both before
our wedding date and on the actual day of. I'd recommend you
to anyone."
