Lori & Jamie - January 2, 2012
"We only had 3 months to plan this wedding. Cantigny highly recommended Sounds Abound for DJ services. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we could also book a photographer and photo booth at the same time and we got a great package deal. Kyle was helpful to us throughout the process. We gave him our music suggestions and he took it from there and we loved the music at the reception. His father Ken did the Family Feud game and our guests loved it - they are still talking about how much fun they had at the reception. Jerry was a great photographer. He made everything fun and we are anxious to see the photos - I am sure they will be great. Thanks again for making our day so special! I will recommend you highly to anyone planning a wedding - and I will see you again when my daughters get married!"
Maggie & Ryan - December 17, 2011
"I had very high expectations for a wedding DJ and Kyle was fantastic! He listened carefully to our goals for the wedding reception and created a perfect playlist for the night. Everyone was dancing and having a blast. When an 85 year-old grandma is dancing to Cee Lo Green, it's a successful party!"
Deanne - Shodeen Holiday Party - December 15, 2011
"Kyle was awesome! He made the party! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!"
Shea & John - November 5, 2011
"Kyle was awesome- he kept people dancing all night- the dance floor was never empty. He played everyone's requests and really turned our wedding night into a party. Kyle really knows his music and is great at telling when the mood in the room changes and to switch up the songs. Good music can make or break the night and it was definitley a great night. Thank you, Kyle and Sounds Abound for all you did for our wedding reception- it could not have been any more perfect! I'd recommend you to anyone in need of a great DJ/photobooth!"
Lisa & Chris - October 8, 2011
"We are so pleased with our decision to hire Sounds Abound to DJ our wedding. We were going off of a referral, and we're glad we did! Kyle our DJ was amazing! He was extremely attentive and made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing, and we didn't! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He was energetic and played the best music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night, and sometimes that's hard to do. It's a week later and we're still getting compliments about how great the music was! We also had a photo booth as well, and Kevin our attendant was great! He was very friendly and had a great attitude, and was just a joy to have at our wedding. Jeff also provided the best service possible in the weeks/months prior to our wedding to get all the details together. He was very organized and made the process flawless. Thank you Sounds Abound for making our wedding one of the best ever! I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound to anyone who needs a DJ or photo booth! Everything was great and flawless!"
Amanda & Brendan - October 1, 2011
"Best vendor choice we picked for our wedding! People were on the dance floor all night and complimented the music over and over! Couldn't have asked for anything better from a dj! I think it was a great experience start to finish. It was nice being able to meet with Kyle numerous times if needed and he was very helpful! Also so was the staff."
Liz & Nathan - September 18, 2011
"Kyle was excellent to work with, and I can't say enough good things about you guys! Thank you so much!"
Ashley & John - September 4, 2011
"From the first time we walked into Sounds Abound we were happy with the customer service & friendliness. Our wedding was beyond AMAZING much in part to the OUTSTANDING MC of our night, Kyle. Kyle was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, organized, and exceeded all of our expectations! Kyle was hands down the best DJ I have ever heard & was so friendly & easy to work with I felt 100% comfortable turning over the party to him. I could not have asked for a better DJ (or company for that matter) to work with. I work with a lot of brides & will be referring not only Kyle but Sounds Abound to EVERYONE!"
Mandi & Adam - September 3, 2011
"We cannnot say enough good things about our Sounds Abound DJs! We had Kyle and Rufus for our reception and they were a blast! The music was great, the dance floor was packed, and everyone even the grandparents were up out of their chairs and having fun!! Kyle was on the floor teaching people some dances and it was fun for us to watch and participate. The two of them made our reception such a success and we would recommend them to anyone!! Thanks also to the fantastic office staff for their great customer service and how easy they made booking and planning our reception! It was all so great!"
Elisabeth & Jared (Afternoon Wedding) - September 3, 2011
"From the very beginning the staff was extremely professional, personable, accommodating, and genuine. I had originally booked with a DJ from another company. After feeling uneasy about the business interaction I was referred to Sounds Abound through my venue and I am so glad that we canceled our first vender and went with SA. Sounds Abound was not pushy and made me feel comfortable when I went to meet their staff without my fiance present. Professional, affordable, and absolutely fantastic! Kyle was so knowledgable about the classics which my husband requested. Our guests made multiple comments on the great music selections - there was something for everyone to enjoy. For our luncheon reception, we expected that there would be more socializing than dancing. We wanted guests to have a great time whether they got on the dance floor or not. Our guests are still commenting on what a great day they had celebrating with us! Kyle was a personable MC through the introductions and an involved DJ when it came time for dancing. He even got out to dance with the guests when they needed some encouragement! If you want someone who knows the classics from before your time and is in with the current trends of music - Choose Kyle! Your expectations will be far exceeded."
Jamie & Casey - August 19, 2011
"Kyle was an excellent DJ. He was polite and professional and kept everything on track according to our schedule. I also recieved several compliments on the music sselection at the wedding. We asked Kyle to do whatever was necessary to keep people on the dance floor, and he certainly accomplished that."
Dana & Steve - August 14, 2011
"Kyle and his assistant were Great! They played great music, got the crowd into it and they were very fun!!"
Sarah & Ian - July 23, 2011
"Kyle Overbey was an AMAZING DJ! He made the planning of our wedding reception music so easy and fun. He walked us through everything. I loved the online planner which made it convenient and easy to choose all of our music. The night of our reception everything ran smoothly. Kyle did a great job keeping everyone out on the dance floor and reallly followed what type of music the crowd wanted. I was so happy with his expertise and fun loving nature!! I would highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a DJ. He is truly a pro!"
Katie & Stephen - July 15, 2011

Tracy & William - June 10, 2011
"Sounds Abound and Kyle were great to work with. They were there to answer my questions whenever I had any and the night of the wedding they played all the songs that I had on my request list. We also did the photobooth which was a huge hit and everyone was saying how much they loved it. Thanks!"
Julia - Naperville Public Library - June 8, 2011

Amy & Dan - April 29, 2011
"It was great. Kyle was very organized."
Vicki & Tom - April 16, 2011
"Couldn't possibly have been any better...even through a DJ change required by a DJ resignation...unbelievable service.
Improvements for the future: Not sure it's possible!"
Christy & Michael - March 12, 2011
"We loved everything about Sounds Abound. Kyle did the best job ever. And we plan on using Sound Abound again."
Alyssa's Bat Mitzvah - Rogie S. (Mother) - February 5, 2011
"Kyle, Thank you again very much for such a wonderful job from first contact to final song with my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. We received the disk with the photobooth pix. This is great since my daughter is a scrapbook queen. She is going nutz making a memory book with just the pix from that one disc. I wish you all the best in years to come!"
Tina & Kevin - January 29, 2011
"To all the brides and grooms to be- if you like to have fun, you want you guests to have fun, and you want to dance the night away at your wedding, book Kyle to be your DJ!! Kyle was so easy to work with and was so helpful throughout our music planning period. Come wedding day, he took care of everything!! We were so busy interacting with everyone and we were on cloud 9...we would never have been able to coordinate what needed to get done, and did not want just anyone to take control of our evening. Thankfully Kyle knows exactly what to do and everything went along seamlessly! We didn't have to worry about a thing and I did not leave the dance floor once, and neither did our guests. At one point, our dance floor was so full you could barely find a spot! This was my number one wish- I wanted my dance floor full to the brim, I wanted to celebrate, and I wanted our guests to have the times of their lives. This was all made possible because of Kyle! He read our crowd perfectly and made a fun, full dance floor possible. He made our wedding day even more perfect and everything we had ever dreamed of. Every single person we have talked to has said what a blast our wedding was! It was truly the best day of our entire lives and Kyle definitely accentuated that. Thank you for being so great!! I suggest you book Kyle if you want the most perfect wedding reception!!"
Adrienne & Eric - December 10, 2010
"Kyle was an excellent DJ!"
Laurel & Chris - November 27, 2010
"Loved that Kyle got on the dance floor with the guest and showed them the steps to the different line dances. Did a great job of getting people onto the dance floor."
Theresa & Josh - October 30, 2010
"I absolutely loved the DJ servgices at my wedding! Every single on of my guests complimented me on how great of a DJ Kyle was. Kyle was an amazing DJ, he met all my requests and he was enthusiastic and excited about my wedding. He was easy to contact and get in touch with and returned my emails and phone calls promptly. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family. You guys have perfected the art and are great people to do business with!"
Marcy & Daniel - October 9, 2010
"I thought the perfect suggested music was picked for the passing of the veil. It was nice that DJ tried to tell the crowd of our wishes. We thought Kyle was fun and energetic, played great music, friendly, and overall really made the night...we got a lot of great compliments on the music and the DJ."
Mariel & Kyle - October 8, 2010
"We absolutely loved our experience with Kyle and Sounds Abound. The people here are very nice and willing to help with anything. I wasn't the best customer because I kept changing my mind and waiting until the very last minute to make all my final choices. The staff was unerstanding, never once complained, and helped me with any changes that needed to be made. I have spread the word to all of my engaged friends and would reccommend them to everyone!
Improvements for the future: I'm not sure, there is so much you guys already have done, its as if you are way ahead of the game. The online instant chats are so helpful and a great way of having help available to your customers. Just keep on doing what you do and you guys will stay great!"
Annie & Brian - September 24, 2010
"We could not have had a better DJ that fit with the type of wedding we had. We are grateful for the experience we had with Kyle and everyone is still telling us what a great time they had."
Danielle & Kris - September 18, 2010
"Kris and I were more than satisfied with our whole experience with the company and staff. You made sure we understood the entire process and were there for us every step of the way. Honestly, Kyle helped our wedding day flow so smoothly without any hiccups. We even had some tricky names to pronounce..you should have seen the look on some of our bridal party's faces- no one every pronounces their names correct, but Kyle did. During the wedding Kyle came to us several times to make sure he was on the same page as us. Everyone loved the music selection-some songs we didn't even chose and we were so happy with it all. We put all of our trust in Kyle's hands and he did not let us down once. He allowed us to make changes, even at the last minute and had no problem with it. We can't say thank you enough for the great service from Kyle and the rest of the staff. You can't beat the price we paid for the outstanding service we received.
P.S. Thanks for bringing the extra lights w/ no cost to us...it looked awesome!! We will recommend you guys to anyone we know looking for a DJ!! Keep doing what you do!!!"
Tiffany & Lawrence - September 12, 2010
"I never got a chance to thank Kyle at the end of the night, and I feel terrible! He and his assistant did a fantastic job and managed to keep the dance floor going strong to the very end. Kyle was both a great DJ and fantastic MC, which made our lives so much easier. Thank you Kyle and Sounds Abound for being such an integral part of our wedding day."
Amanda & Brad - September 3, 2010
"If I could rate you higher than Excellent I would! My husband and I were so impressed with Kyle, words cannot express how happy we are. You and your staff made our wedding awesome! Kyle was great in everyway. I never worried for a moment during our receptions. Greg was awesome at our ceremony! I will tell everyone to use Sounds Abound for any occasion! Thank you for everything! Keep up the great work you guys and gals are awesome!"
Erin & Andy - August 6, 2010
"Kyle was great! We got so many compliments from our guests on how great the DJ was. We were very happy with our selection! Thank you Sounds Abound!! :)"
Julie & Rodrigo - July 31, 2010
"Our experience was fantastic. Great music selections, interactions, and one-on-one service for not only the bride and groom but also the guests."
Beth & Jerry - July 18, 2010
"Kyle was absolutely wonderful!!! He helped make the night perfect for myself and my husband and all our guests... He kept everyone out on the dancefloor and made sure the night was running smoothly for everyone... He went above and beyond what I would expect from any DJ and I will be recommending him to anyone and everyone that ever needs a DJ!!! Thank you soooo much for makeing our wedding night magical and everything we could of dreamed of!!! Everything was perfect and amazing!!! Keep up the good work!!!"
Elizabeth & Drew - June 25, 2010
"We were so happy with Sounds Abound. You were referred to us from several friends who had used you in the past. Kyle was so friendly and went out of his way to find some special songs we had requested. He made sure he checked with us throughout the night to see how things were going. We were extremely pleased with the entire evening and would recommend Sounds Abound to anyone in need of a DJ!"
Jenny & Brian - June 13, 2010
"After getting engaged, we quickly asked a friend which DJ she had, because her wedding was AMAZING. She recommended Sounds Abound. From the moment we contacted Sounds Abound, we knew that we were in good hands. Whether it was our initial meeting, questions we had throughout the process, or the day of the wedding, you were there to put our minds at ease. Kyle met with us and made sure that our wedding went exactly as we planned (even triple checking the pronunciation of our wedding party). During the actual reception he played exactly what we asked. Our guests commented several times during dinner about how great the music was...they had no idea what was about to happen. Once the dance floor opened Kyle made sure that it never cleared out. We had over three straight hours of a packed dance floor. He was able to read the mood of the crowd, and would make sure to please everyone. My wife and I were able to go up to him with any requests (and there were some odd ones), and he accommodated immediately knowing that it was what we wanted. We could not have asked for a better experience. Our wedding day turned out even better than we could have imagined, and Kyle and Mitch made that happen. We had so many people come up to us after the wedding and asked who our DJ was, and even three weeks later when we see people all they talk about was how they have never seen a DJ keep so many people out on the dance floor. I would recommend Sounds Abound (and specifically Kyle) for ANY event. He truly focuses on what the hosts of the party want. Whether it is classic and clean, or a huge dance party, Sounds Abound will make it happen. Thanks for everything! Keep doing what you are doing."
Lisa & George - June 2, 2010
"Kyle was TERRIFIC! Great music for a great price!
Thank you for making my daughter's party a lot of fun!!"
Krissy & Greg - May 29, 2010
"Our wedding was 4 months ago and people are still saying how awesome the music and DJ were and what a great time they had! Thanks!"
Theresa & Ryan - May 22, 2010
"Comments on overall experience: Kyle was AMAZING!!!! Everyone still talks about how great he was at our wedding and how the dancing lasted ALL night long! I was so impressed on how well he managed the dance floor and got everyone, even my Grandma who has not stepped on a dance floor since her wedding, dancing to just about every song!!! I could not have asked or wished for a better DJ. Kyle surpassed my expectations of the music played, I don't think there was one bad song all night. We gave him a short list of our favorites and he came up with the rest! Kyle was so professional, courteous, energetic, polite, respectful, and most importantly a blast to have around! I would recommend Kyle to anyone and everyone, hands down! He made our night memorable and unforgettable!! I can't say enough to describe his work in the music industry! Thank you Kyle, for making our wedding so special! I would also like to thank the staff at Sounds About! The service my husband and I received ordering invitations and picking out all the little extras, was also the best we had experienced! Everyone was so nice, helpful, polite, and professional! Thank you Kyle, thank you to everyone at Sounds Abound!"
Molly & Jason - May 1, 2010
"Sounds Abound did an excellent job setting the perfect mood at every stage of the night. From the elegant uplighting during dinner to the professional dance club lighting, the scene was always set just right. Our DJ Kyle's great taste in music and impecable timing got the whole crowd out on the dance floor and his contagious enthusiasm kept them dancing with us the entire night. We would NOT recommend Sounds Abound for your wedding DJ services... WE WOULD INSIST ON IT!"
Samantha & Mike - April 11, 2010
"Kyle made sure we were enjoying ourselves and had excellent communication. I would definitetly recommend him again. Sounds Abound did great!"

Erica & Andy - December 5, 2009
"Kyle Overbey was a fantastic DJ. We met him to discuss our preferences for the reception and he did everything we asked and more!! I can't tell you how important the selection of a dj is for a reception and we were immensely pleased with Sounds Abound!! Thank you Kyle for making our wedding reception fun and memorable!!! "
Kelly & Kevin - November 21, 2009
"Kyle was one of the best DJ's we have ever experienced. I kid you not, from the time he introduced himself to the point at which he said goodnight, there was not one time where he was nothing but fun, entertaining, professional, and most of all captivating. We have been to many wedding, and I can say I can't remember when the dance floor was packed from start to finish the entire night. He chose great music and kept people dancing, a difficult task since there ages from 3 to 83 there. We have had so many people ask if we know a good DJ to use, we usually say no, but we have a great one we can refer. Thank you Kyle for an absolutely memorable event."
Natalie & Mark - October 3, 2009
"Kyle did an amazing job keeping our dance floor packed all night long. Everyone had a great time especially the bride and groom and we are still hearing rave reviews of how AWESOME our music and DJ were. Thanks so much for making our special day extremely memorable and the talk of the town."
Toni & Chris - September 19, 2009
"Good Experience. All that we covered in the pre party meeting was done. Also, Kyle was very responsive to my needs when I wanted a song cut and another faded in."
Rose & Robert - September 12, 2009
"Was a great great day! Things flowed well. Kyle responded instantly to tiny changes that kept the people dancing all night long!"
Lyndsay & Dan - August 22, 2009
"We receieved SO MANY compliments on your services. Kyle was absolutely amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better MC/DJ for our big day. We are recommending Kyle and the Sounds Abound team to every Bride and Groom we know! Your attention to detail is amazing and we truly felt like Kyle really knew us, our relationship and our style. It was a perfect reflection of "us". Thank you so much! The compliements are still pouring in about how packed the dance floor was all night. All of our friends and family said it was the BEST wedding they've ever attended and, well we think it was the best wedding ever too! (We are a little biast though) Thanks again!"
Janine & Josh - July 11, 2009
"Everything was done professionally and the staff was very friendly. Kyle did a fantastic job at our wedding. We couldn't have picked a better DJ! I would highly recommend Sounds Abound and Kyle to anyone looking to book a high quality DJ for their special event. Everything worked well."
Amy & Tony - July 10, 2009
"Thanks a lot for a great time! We have heard nothing but positive comments!"
Lisa & Mark - June 27, 2009
"We are very pleased with our choice of Kyle as our DJ. We had a bump in the road when the power went out during the reception but Kyle stayed later than planned to make up for the lost time - he handled the situation very well. The dance floor was always full, and when everyone started leaving for one song he quickly changed it to get people back up there. We also liked that he was dancing and really into it as well, I've had guests make comments about that too. The online planner was nice to have so we could make song selections at home. Overall- VERY happy with everything."
Angie & Mitchell - June 13, 2009
"Sounds Abound was amazing to work with!! We loved being able to fill out the online forms with the songs we wanted played and did not want played at our reception. Sounds Abound made the planning process so easy for us by calling us a few times to check up on things. I would reccommend Sounds Abound to anyone!! :) Also, our DJ Kyle Overby was great to work with! He played great music and really got people on the dance floor! Kyle made the night so relaxing for my husband and I! He took care of everything!"
Lauren & Cory - May 30, 2009
"Sounds Abound really made our wedding fantastic. Jeff and Joanne made our planning process very simple and easy, especially since we were planning from out of state. They were kind enough to check in periodically and work around our busy schedule. When it came to our wedding day, Kyle was fantastic! He listened to us and really played off of the crowd. Our dance floor full the entire night. Kyle and his assistant made our night perfect and our guests kept complimenting us on the DJ. Thank you for making our day fantastic! "
David

Tammy / Mother- November 1, 2008
"The party was excellent! My daughter Jessica was receiving text messages just minutes after the party letting her know it was the best party ever. I know some of the kids are trying to plan the next party and hire Kyle again. Kyle related well to the kids and they never left the dance floor. I was amazed that he was able to keep the group occupied for so many hours. I am very pleased with your staff and would recommend them to anyone."
Kristen & Chris - October 25, 2008
"We initially picked a DJ that ended up quitting and all of our other choices happened to be already taken. We ended up choosing Kyle Overbey and the funny part is that he had recently changed his video and had that been the video we saw from the start he would have been our first choice hands down. He was AWESOME! Not cheesy at all, very professional, right on top of things, and played the music we wanted to hear. He was emailing me before the wedding seeing if I needed anything, which was helpful because there are so many things to do. He was very good about letting us know when the next thing was going to happen and stayed in close contact with our photographer as well to make sure she was ready for all the important photos. I would not hesitate to recommend him at all! He does look very young but is very professional and was very flexible when we changed things last minute! Very reliable seeing he is the son of the owner of the company!"
Stephanie & Dean - October 4, 2008
"Kyle was Excellent! Our dance floor was packed the entire night! He didn't just play music... he made the reception a fun celebration for everyone! I will recommend Sounds Abound to all of my friends and family!"
Kate & Avery - September 26, 2008
"It was absolutely wonderful. You guys are great and thank you for everything!"
Jennifer & Brian - September 20, 2008
"....we couldn't have had a better experience. Kyle was professional, friendly and a great dancer! He truly kept the night going. The dance floor was constantly packed, which says a lot for him, as most of our friends don't dance normally. Even my husband and myself don't typically dance and I think we only missed maybe 5 songs the whole night. I wouldn't hesitate for one second recommending Sounds Abound or Kyle and Nico to anyone! Even the event location's manager wrote down Kyle's name to pass on as a recommendation. You exceeded our expectations and are truly fantastic! We appreciate all that Kyle and Sounds Abound did to make our day special."
Jennifer & Tim - September 13, 2008
"What a great process from beginning to end! Jeff Wells was great to work with during the planning phase and Kyle did a great job at our wedding. He had the dance floor packed from the minute it was open. We would recommend Sounds Abound to anyone in the market for a DJ. Great work."
Valerie & Joe - September 5, 2008
"I couldn't be happier with the staff and our DJ, Kyle at the wedding. I had so many questions and worries and everyone was so nice and helpful. Thank you."
