"Matt did an AMAZING job at our wedding! We couldn't have been happier with our decision to have Sounds Abound Entertainment. We will definitely recommend him and the company to all of our friends :)"
Kelly & Adam Kendall - June 26, 2010
"Matt did an excellent job from start to finish! He was helpful in planning our ceremony and reception. He remembered everything we had asked of him and had a great presence at our wedding. He was very professional and did an excellent job keeping our guests involved and excited about our event. We would 100% recommend Matt to friends or family. He helped to make our wedding the best day of our lives!"
Kristin & Dan Mazzacano - June 25, 2010
"Matt was absolutely amazing! He made our wedding better then we could ever expect. He kept people on the dance floor all night and helped to make sure the night ran smoothly. We also had the Photo Booth which was a great hit. The two photo booth attendants were helpful and fun to work with. The Guest Book they put together was spectacular."
Jenelle & Doug Hardtke - May 30, 2010
"Matt was an amazing DJ! Our introductions were perfect and our guests were entertained from the moment they stepped foot into our reception until the last dance. Matt also assisted with a last minute technical difficultly with our slideshow (not from Sounds Abound). Our guests didn't even know there was a problem! Sounds Abound is a wonderful company and I truly believe that you guys are the best. We'll definitely be recommending your services to all of our friends and family. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!"
Milena & John Shalaby - May 22, 2010
"We were extremely pleased with Sounds Abound. Every wedding requires lots of choices and picking Sounds Abound was one of our best and easiest decisions we made. Ken made everything in the sales process a breeze. He even came out and met us at our reception location to go over lighting several months before the wedding. You can tell that Sounds Abound is dedicated to making sure their customers are happy (contrary to other DJ companies we’ve seen). As far as Matt goes, when we first met him we were impressed at his overall persona. He was very diligent in meeting with us to go over our needs and selections. We felt completely at ease. On our wedding night Matt was a hit! From the way he dealt with our guests, to making all the announcements, to playing great music everything was excellent. Simply put Matt is great at what he does. Any event would be lucky to have him. Thanks Sounds Abound! And Thanks Matt! Keep doing what you're doing. We will be loyal customers for a very long time."
Diane & Paul Kresser - May 1, 2010
"Originally, I was hesitant to use a DJ at my wedding because I love live music and I have been to so many weddings with cheesy DJs who negatively impacted the reception. I wasn't a big fan of the idea that a stranger would be "running the show" so to speak on one of the biggest days of my life. Sounds Abound and more specifically Matt Ammons changed my entire opinion about wedding DJs. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me after the wedding and asked me how I found the DJ. Matt played the perfect mix of songs for the young, old and everything in between (even some ethnic music for the grooms family.) He kept the dance floor full the entire evening and was fun but extremely professional as he guided us through all of the "reception events." Even my mom said that after 30+ years of attending weddings, she has never seen so many people dancing from the very first song until the last. Matt also made sure to get in all of our "must plays" and did not play a single song off of our "do not play list," which I know is often not the case. Matt also consistently checked in with me throughout the evening to make sure things were going the way I wanted them too. It was great to have the opportunity to work with someone who's number one priority was to make sure that I was happy.
The online planning tool Sounds Abound offers was also fantastic since we live in Boston and our wedding was in Chicago. It allowed us be hands on with the music selection, no matter where we were. On a side note, I think it is great that you have video clips of the DJs online, but do not let people "crash" weddings to check our the DJ. At first I was disappointed that I couldn't see your DJs in action, but realized how upset I would be if someone came to "check out" the DJ at my wedding. I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound and Matt to any friends or family for any kind of event."
Allison & John Fishel - October 17, 2009
"We were extremely happy with our DJ selection process through Sounds Abound. The video previews of each DJ were so helpful and really helped us to select the DJ that was right for us. The videos showed their presence at more than one wedding which was a really nice thing to be able to see. Our picking Matt Ammons proved to be a wonderful choice! He was extremely professional both before and after our event. He was very receptive to our specific requests and balanced it well with his professional opinion. During the wedding, he kept us very well informed on what was coming up next. We would recommend Matt to anyone and we think our guests would agree as well. The dance floor was full all night!"
Jennie & Tyler Dare - October 16, 2009
"Guests from all generations were dancing and having a good time. We received multiple compliments on the music and our DJ! Matt was very good at emailing back and forth with us the days before the wedding as we submitted additional requests. The face-to-face meeting with Matt before the event was very helpful. It let us feel comfortable with him and his abilities."
Sharon & Matt Pasteris - October 3, 2009
"The DJ (Matt) was very nice and accomidiating. He asked what type of music we liked and was response to the audience (when no one was dancing, he changed the music!) You can choose songs on a database from their website for all the type of dances you want. It was very easy!"
Lauren & Brian Weirich - September 4, 2009
"Awesome! Every person I spoke with was so nice and helpful. Our DJ, Matt, was amazing! So many of my guests commented on how professional he was and what a great personality he has. Matt made my experience less stressful and I ended up having the best night of my life!"
Staci & Chad Schiele - August 29, 2009

Joanna & Jason Bogosian - August 22, 2009
"Matt Ammons was great!I am glad we chose him to be part of our day! I would definetly recommend Matt to friends and family! Matt was a great DJ. We are glad we had him rocking the ones and twos on our very special wedding day! Thanks again Matt"
Teresa & Kevin Green - August 8, 2009
"Matt was fantastic! We got lots of compliments about how his comments were to the point (he never rambled)and he kept the dance floor packed all night. I whole heartedly agree and also think he efficiently and easily organized a large group for intros and was very professional. He also delt very well with requests he thought I would not like. I would recommend Matt to anyone!"
Meghan & Ray Sabatino - August 7, 2009
"Matt Ammons did a wonderful job as the DJ for our wedding. At our meet and greet before the wedding, he made Ray and me feel very comfortable and listened to what we wanted. At the wedding, he organized the large wedding party and catered to the many guests confidently and professionally. Not only did Matt play all the songs that we wanted to hear, he kept the guests entertained through out the whole night. I would highly recommend Matt in the future."
Liz & Ron Monis - July 25, 2009
"Matt was great. We stressed that we wanted people out there dancing the whole time, and that is exactly what happened. He is an amazing announcer and kept the party rolling all night!"
Crystal & Jason Randall - July 18, 2009
"Our DJ, Matt Ammons, did an outstanding job all night at our wedding reception. Friends and family are still commenting about how good Matt was and how he kept the party going. I've never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed the entire time, but Matt made it happen and we were so happy with his performance. He was professional, took charge when he needed to, had a brilliant mix of music and his transitions from song to song were second to none. Our slideshow also was a hit and was done beautifully. Thanks, Matt!"
Kelly & Doug Knotts - July 4, 2009
"Matt was the DJ at our wedding on July 4th and he did an amazing job!!! He was a pleasure to work with during the planning process and the night of the reception he totally pulled through. He has a great presence/voice and really knows how to get the crowd going and play to his audience. Our dance floor was never empty and everyone kept coming up to us and raving about not only how good the DJ was but how cool he was too! Matt definitely made our reception the fun, care-free party we wanted it to be. He was everything we had hoped for and more! Thanks so much Matt!!!"
Jill & Andrew Nordstrom - June 27, 2009
"Matt was the perfect dj for our wedding. He had everyone up and dancing the whole night and he even got out on the dance floor and taught our guests some new dances. He was friendly, professional, and chose great music. We are still getting compliments on the music and his performance. My experience with Sounds Abound in general was great. The staff was attentive to my needs and worked with us every step of the way. Thank you!"
Stephanie & Keith Barta - June 19, 2009
"It was really easy working with Sounds Abound, from scheduling appointments to picking our DJ off of the website. Matt Ammons was fabulous and kept our dance floor jamming the entire party! We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Matt! Thanks for helping make our wedding reception such a success! Keep up the great customer service!"
Justine & Ryan Jaskiewicz - June 13, 2009

"Matt was wonderful to work with. Our personalities clicked and so we felt comfortable and confident that he was the perfect DJ for us and would deliver what we wanted. We were right! Our Wedding was wonderful and everyone had a good time on the dance floor. Matt did a wonderful job at accommodating music for both the older and younger crowds at our wedding. Thanks so much for everything Matt!"

Wiebke & Chris Yavanovic - September 27, 2008
"Matt, I am so sorry it took me so long to respond, but that definitely has
nothing to do with how we liked your performance! It was absolutley fantastic! There was always someone on the dancefloor. Everybody had so much fun! It was GREAT GREAT GREAT! You played all the songs that we wanted to hear, and were so flexible during the night, so supportive, so organized! We couldn't imagine anything better. Thank you so much! We will definitely recommend you when one of our friends get married!"
Tracy & Ed Lewandowski - September 20, 2008
"I just wanted to write and say how amazing Matt Ammons was at our wedding. From the first contact with Matt he was a pleasure, he met with us and answered all of our questions and then stayed in touch with us up until the wedding to answer any questions that came up as the weeks drew closer. His experience and expertise helped us to make some big decisions for the night. One thing that was really important to us was to have everyone on the dance floor all night, Matt made sure that our wish came true and played an amazing mix of music. Through out the night he was always checking in with us to make sure the night was everything we imagined. We couldn't be any happier with how the night went and we credit that to Matt and Sounds Abounds' help!"
Shatisha & Everette Redwell - August 8, 2008
"I just wanted to make sure I took the time to tell you how wonderful our DJ was for our wedding, and how it was a pleasure working with your company for our event. I came to Sounds Abound about 3-4 weeks before my wedding without a DJ, and ended up selecting Matt Ammons. Matt was excellent. He handled all of our music professionally and perfectly. I didn't worry about my music, not once that day. Matt also was very attentive to what our vision was for the day. All I can say is that he is Simply the Best!!!! I also wanted to say that this company has an excellent way of operating, which makes it easy to handle all of the necessary business quickly. Your website is excellent!!! Thanks so much for helping to make my special day perfect!!"
Julie & Mike Holm - July 26, 2008
"Matt Ammons was excellent!! He played everything we wanted hiim to play plus other songs that fit our style. Mike and I danced every song. I was a bit worried since we just booked your company the week before the wedding but everything was perfect, from the ceremony music, to the introductions, to the last dance. I could not have asked for a better DJ. Thank you so much!"
Amy & Joe Rueffer - July 19, 2008
"Matt was fantastic!! We had originally booked another Sounds Abound DJ and after him having a scheduling conflict we were notified by Sounds Abound and I was so disappointed! The fact that we were notified a month in advance though, is a true testament to the type of company Sounds Abound is. Instead of crossing their fingers and hoping the DJ would be available, they let us know in advance and told us what our other options would be. Although we were nervous switchiing DJs so close to our wedding we couldn't have been happier with the way it turned out. Matt was so much fun, we both had multiple guests tell us that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. He kept the crowd involved and the dance floor was never empty! He also made it a point to keep us updated as we tried to visit with all of our guests as to what was coming up next and when so we could be prepared. Matt was fantastic and we would recommend him AND Sounds Abound to anyone!! :)"
