"Matt was great. Everyone said he was so friendly and on top of everything. He even played an extra hour because our guests were having so much fun dancing to his selections! Thank you so much to Matt and Sounds Abound for helping make our day wonderful."
Stephanie & Brian Fisher- June 5, 2010
"Matt Lodding did our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely wonderful! He had a family emergency the morning of our wedding (His wife had an emergency C Cection) and Sounds Abound already had another DJ on his way out to cover our reception for us (Danny). They both did an excellent job! I would not have changed a thing. Danny was fabulous and beyond helpful when we had questions or concerns. My husband and I are still talking about our reception and what an awesome time we had.... and we mainly chalk that up to our DJ's! Thank you guys for everything you did for us to make our wedding awesome!"

"Matt, Thank you so much for everything that you did to make our wedding a huge success. Everyone was raving about the music selection and your service was impeccable. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Also, thank you for being so great about all of the special requests that were thrown at you last night as we tried to get the photographer on the same page :) Thank you again for a great evening! We will definitely recommend your services to family and friends, should they need a DJ for their special event."

"Matt did a great job with introductions and with keeping the night on course. Our guests packed the dance floor all night, and it was a blast. We were happy with our choice of Sounds Abound, and specifically Matt, throughout the entire process. He made it easy for us to simply enjoy our wedding instead of worrying."
Kate & Wade Elder - May 9, 2009
"Working with Sounds Abound was incredibly easy. From picking our package and booking the date, to planning the event, to the wedding itself. Our DJ, Matt Lodding made the wedding a huge success! He was fantastic, he played a GREAT mix of music, got everyone on the dancefloor and kept them out there all night. He kept us on our timeline and kept the night running smoothly, without being the 'center of attention'. He did an incredble job and we would highly reccomend Matt and the Sounds Abound team to anyone for their wedding or event. Thanks Matt."
Beth & Jason Anderson - September 7, 2008
"We had a great experience with Sounds Abound. We were the first people in our circle of friends to get married and we came in absolutely overwhelmed and not knowing what to look for. One of my coworkers recommended Sounds Abound and after our first appointment I knew we had come to the right place. The entire staff was always very helpful and gave us so many great suggestions for the music at our reception and ceremony. Our DJ, Matt Lodding did an excellent job and we are very happy with everything. I would recommend Sounds Abound to anyone."

we wanted without us even having to say anything. Our guests
thought the music was wonderful! Thanks!"
Susan & Jeff Klusmeier - June 16, 2007
"Matt was very patient in getting in touch with me, as
we ended up playing phone tag a couple days before the wedding.
I felt very comfortable talking with him and knew that he would
help run our event smoothly and to our expectations. As someone
planning a wedding from out of town, I found the Sounds Abound
staff and online planning to be very helpful. Thank you!"
Haley & Chris Martin - June 9, 2007

smoothly and were so happy with him!"

"Our Wedding was a BLAST! Thanks to Matt Lodding. We had
so much fun. He added every good time to our event and we do
want to personally thank him for that. I hope he felt the same
way. Thank you for helping us make our day that much brighter."
Jennifer & Adam Cawthorne - August 5, 2006
"Words cannot express the way we feel about Matt Lodding.
We were stuck without a DJ one week before our wedding and we
called and talked to Danny at Sounds Abound. He told us that
they would absolutely be able to do our weddiing. We were so
excited to hear that! We decided on Matt, as we had heard wonderful
things about his work. The night of the wedding he was very
professional and on the ball. He played everything we asked
for and more. People were on the dance floor all night including
my husband and I. We received so many compliments on Matt and
his ability to play to, and for the crowd. We could not have
had a better reception and we thank Matt and Sounds Abound for
that! We are still hearing praises two weeks after the wedding!!"
Brenda & Jaimie Plock - June 24, 2006
"Everyone at Sounds Abound was wonderful from the first
time we called all the way to our Wedding Day. Matt and his
partner were great. We couldn't ask for a better night, everybody
loved them. You did a Great Job, Thank You"
Kristy & Michael Malone - March 25, 2006
"Matt's performance was excellent. Everyone at the wedding
love the DJs. They were really involved and everyone kept asking
who the DJ was. Thanks."
Hello, my name is Matt Lodding. First of all I would like to
thank you for taking the time to find out more information about
me. With that being said, music has always been something that
I truly enjoy. I began working as a mixer for Sounds Abound
while I was still in high school. I could tell from my very
first show that I wanted to become a DJ myself. While attending
college at Eastern Illinois University I continued to follow
my passion by working as one of the resident DJ’s at Stu’s,
a local club in Charleston.
