"Gregg was exceptional! Any request we had, he made sure it was met. He handled a mixup with the intros (to no fault of his own) seamlessly. If we asked for something he didn't think would work, he found a way to make it work. At the same time, we hardly knew they were there. Couldn't have asked for more..thank you."

"Gregg and the entire Sounds Abound staff were extremely helpful! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! (Gregg) made everything run so smoothly and took so much pressure off of us. The song selections were also perfect. We have had so many people tell us how much fun they had at our wedding and how great our DJ was. I spent the entire night on the dance floor and that's exactly what I wanted. Thanks again for helping make our day so perfect! We will definitely recommend Sounds Abound to people who are in need of DJ services in the future.
We also thought the wedding shop was great! We bought just about all of our wedding accessories there and it was so nice to find them all in one shop that had such a great selection of items. Both the Sounds Abound DJ service and the wedding shop played an integral part in making our wedding a huge success!"

"I just wanted to thank you for the excellent service Gregg provided for my daughters wedding on Saturday. Everyone had a wonderful time and the music & entertainment provided by your company made the wedding a huge success."

Cindy FitzGerald, McDonald's Corporation - December 6, 2008

"We had a lot going on at this party. Gregg needed to handle our multimedia dinner show, including a slide show, and a "public service" announcement via DVD video clip and sound. He also had to make sure we had a grand entrance song for walking into dinner (Mardi Gras theme), and dinner music. Then, he had to work with some of my other team members to manage our Karaoke portion of the night. I think we only got to dance for an hour because everyone was having so much fun with the Karaoke! Gregg took care of all of this without a hitch. He was fun to work with, easy to communicate with, highly professional, and I relied heavily on his expertise. He was able to get all of the different means of entertainment - and the technical challenges that go along with that - going on time and just the way we asked for it. His announcements were always accurate and delivered in an energetic way. Believe me, we've had other DJs before who couldn't even get that straight (of course, not from Sounds Abound). I'm sure he must have been exhausted afterwards, and I didn't get a chance to say good-bye and thank him after the party. He was GREAT, and I would request him again for any other event requiring a DJ. I relied on Sounds Abound to choose our DJ and you made an outstanding choice. Thanks for helping make our event a success!"

Sara & Nick Schilling - October 25, 2008

"Fantastic! Many thanks to Gregg for being an incredible DJ and for being so patient with us on all our music choices."

Deanna & Seth Hill - August 23, 2008

"Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our Sounds Abound experience. The office staff was very responsive to our calls and visits and helped us order stationary from the store as well. Gregg did an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. He did an excellent job mixing the songs and complementing his selections with the list of songs that we provided him."

Cynthia & Alan Kaczorowski - August 15, 2008

"Gregg was awesome!! Great to work with - I felt like I really clicked with him and would recommend him to anyone!"

Jen & Joseph Spencer - July 26, 2008

"From the moment I called Sounds Abound I have been impressed. The staff was amazing on the initial phone call and provided all of the options for me with great clarity. It was a great experience and the staff was always great when I called with any questions or changes. We loved looking at the DJ options with their videos. My fiance and I LOVED the online planner. The music selection was expansive and covered both of our musical tastes! We could even pay online! Also, we decided to get our Invitatiions and many of our wedding accessories through Sounds Abound. The Invitation process was incredible and I was so happy with the results and choices they provided! At the reception our DJ Gregg was an incredible DJ! He had all of the timing of the night down perfect and met all of my requests. Gregg was calm, professional, and enthusiastic about music and the wedding. He helped me brainstorm songs in our pre-meeting and then was extemely accomodating with some "at the moment" changes during the reception. He took all requests from a range of guests too! My wedding guests were RAVING about the music played and the dance floor was packed! It was a perfect night!"

Dana & Dan Palmer - July 12, 2008

Myliea & Matt Garza - May 18, 2008

"We had Gregg for our DJ and we absolutely love him! The music was fabulous and he handled the whole event very well. We would recommend everyone to use you in the future! I don't think we could have had a more perfect day if it wasn't for you. Thank you so much!"

Gail & Bob Bivin - April 28, 2008

Leslie & Bill Levinson - April 26, 2008

"Gregg: Thank you for the super job at our wedding reception...Bill and I were quite happy with all the music and dancing...thank yous to you and Alex. Our guests have told us that they truly enjoyed the dancing, loved being in the pretty room with your DJ set up and I think it all was a great success. We were very happy with the evening."

Connie & Christian Pfister - February 2, 2008

"Everone had a great time! Every time I looked at the dance floor - it was full! Our guests are still talking about how much fun it was. The music was great. I'm happy to say that I was able to shake my groove thing before the evening was over. Gregg was the best!"

Kimberly & Brian Sheedy - September 22, 2007

"Gregg did an amazing job. We had multiple people comment on how wonderful of a job he did. Even our photgrapher wrote a blog on his website how he loved the music selection that Gregg put together and put his name on the website...and he has been to a lot of weddings. Thank you so much for making it such a wonderful evening for us. Everyone from the time we booked, to ordering the invitations and planning the song selections were just wonderful to work with. Thanks again!"

Christie & Adam Percival - September 8, 2007

"Gregg was amazing from the beginning. I had emailed Sounds Abound when we were just starting to look for a DJ. Gregg called me back and was very good at following up and working with our hectic schedules to set up appointments. As soon as we met with him, we knew we wanted him to be the DJ for our big day. And we were very pleased with our decision. Gregg was awesome! He was very accommodating to our last minute changes!! Everything flowed very well all night, and the dance floor was full. There were people out there dancing who I haven't seen dance in years!! It was so much fun! Everyone had a blast! We will definitly use Sounds Abound, and hopefully Gregg next time we need a DJ!! Music is such an important part of the night, and you really helped make our day special! Thanks for everything!!"

Sarah & James Hazzard - August 18, 2007

"Our DJ, Gregg was very helpful through the music planning process, he called us a few days before to make sure he had the correct music for everything. He arrived on time and stayed in contact with us throughout the night for the important parts of the evening like the introductions, first dance and more."

Jana & James Gunn - August 11, 2007

"We were so pleased with everything Sounds Abound had to offer. Gregg was great! He played all the types of music that we wanted the entire night. I can honestly say that I danced to EVERY song! The office staff was also very helpful. I saw an item in the store that I wanted to purchase at a later time but it wasn't online. I called them up and they found it for me based on my description and had it waiting for me to pick up the next day. It was very convenient. I will definitely recommend Sounds Abound to all my friends."

Ashley & David Zizich - June 23, 2007

"Everything was better than we expected! Tons of compliments on Gregg! Awesome job! Dance floor wasn't empty once! Everything was excellent! Our family is still talking about the wonderful job you did...my sister-in-law is actually getting married in October of 2008 and she plans on using you!"

Bonnie & Jim Olszewski - May 12, 2007

"Gregg was really great at walking us through the planning process. During our event he was willing and able to adjust to last minute changes."

Jennifer & Dominic Imburgia - February 24, 2007

"Our overall experience was excellent! Gregg Eisel did an outstanding job. So many of our guests made a point to mention how great he was with the crowd. On a personal level, we truly appreciated how much effort he put into understainding exactly what king of music my fiance (now husband) and I enjoy, yet he balanced it well with what the crowd was reacting to during the reception. It was sucha a nice feeling knowing that my guests were having a ball on the dance floor - I don't remember a time during the night that the dance floor wasn't full - that speaks volumes about the great job Gregg did. Thanks for playing such a large part in making the reception a huge success!"

Danielle & Jim Montalano - November 25, 2006

"Our wedding was exactly what we wanted--thank you to Gregg Eisel and his son for all their hard work!!"

Lisa & Matt Pytynia - October 28, 2006

"Gregg. Thank you so much for making our wedding fun for everyone. We really appreciate all your work beforehand finding all the music. Also, all your work during the wedding kept people dancing and mingling the entire night! If you ever need recommendations please feel free to use our name and contact information. Until then we will be sure to recommend Sounds Abound and more specifically you!"

Christine & Brian Peterson - October 21, 2006

"We got exactly what we wanted from an entertainment aspect, and then some. Gregg was awesome. He kept the party moving, and everyone excited about being there. I really can't say enough about how critical he was to the reception being everything that is was. I will always remember what a fantastic job he did. And I will be forever grateful."

Kathy & Brian Buckley - September 23, 2006

"We are sorry that we left our wedding without saying thank you to you. What can we say? We just had such a great time dancing to the fabulous music you played that we just forgot. Thanks for making it such a great party. Everyone said the music was totally danceable and fun. You did a terrific job and we will recommend you to our engaged freinds."

Jennifer & Scott Endres - September 16, 2006

"Gregg is the best!!!! he made our DJ planning not only easy, but also fun :-)"

Amy & Robert Signaigo - August 19, 2006

"Gregg did a fantastic job for us. We had a small-ish wedding with a lot of non-dancing types, but he really engaged our guests, and got people out on the floor I never would have guessed would EVER dance. He played exactly the type of music we wanted the entire evening! He also kept the volume at a great level so our non-dancing guests could converse even during the dancing. I received tons of compliments on the DJ service from our wedding guests, that night and for days afterward. Thanks, Gregg, for making our evening so fantastic!"

Michelle & Mike Nielsen -May 5, 2006

"Gregg was great. He went with the attitude of the crowd all night! He also was great with my last minute changes!"

Carrie & Pete Richardson - November 5, 2005

"From my first phone call, your company's Customer Service was top notch. I left a VERY detailed message on a Sunday night and your associate called the next morning and answered every question in a voicemail and said he would follow up in a week if he did not hear from me. No pressure. I did appreciate that! We spoke and booked later that day. We chose Gregg for our DJ by using the information provided on the site. It was a good match for our wedding reception. We came to your office once to listen to music, even thought you are located over an hour away. That was very helpful. We provided a carefully selected list of songs. Gregg called the week of the wedding and we went over all of the details, down to the Do Not Play List. He respected my two Do Not Plays, even though one was requested, twice! The reception went very well. All announcements were professional, yet upbeat. He stayed within the perameters of songs we chose. The dance floor was busy all night! We felt the music was a very important part of the reception, it could make it or break it. A great time was had by all, most importantly, the bride and groom. We had a blast! We would gladly recommend Sounds Abound!"

Laura & Dave Cuthbertson - October 15, 2005

"From the very first moment, Sounds Abound and Gregg took great care of us. I recommed you to everyone because with Sounds Abound you'll get what you want and will be 100% satisfied with your event."

Jeanette & Chuck Warden -August 26, 2005

"Gregg made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We loved his attitude and his level of interaction with us and our guests. We recieved many compliments. Don't change a thing!!"

Katie & Shaun Anderson - July 29, 2006

"Gregg. Thank you so much for helping to make our special day enjoyable. You did a fantastic job in playing all different types of music. There wasn't a song we were disappointed with. In all the weddings we've been to, we've never seen the dance floor packed from the first song until the last song as it was at ours. We had a lot of compliments about how great you were. We would definitely recommend you to our family and friends."

Barb & John Veltri -June 11, 2005

"Gregg did a fantastic job at our party and impressed us on how hard he worked to make everything flow smoothly. He was Great."

Christine & Doug Sidle-October 2, 2004

"Our guests had a great time. A few took Gregg’s card for future events. The dance floor was full all night. Most guests stayed until he packed up to go. We could not have been happier with our DJ and JoAnn’s help whenever we went into the office."

Lara & Shane Koening-September 25, 2004

"We were both extremely happy with Gregg’s work. He handled the role we requested perfectly. We asked for minimal extra activities but then requested some activities. Gregg was willing and able to handle all of our last minute requests."

Jillian & Nicholas Denny-August 14, 2004

"Everyone RAVED about how GOOD Gregg was! He kept the dance floor packed and connected with the mood of the crowd and allowed the night to end on a really nice high note."
