Hello, my name is Tim Yach and I am excited that you are considering me for your special day. I came to Sounds Abound in 2008 as an Apprentice DJ because I have always loved weddings from the dancing to the food and atmosphere. In my time with Sounds Abound, I have had the opportunity to work with just about all of the DJ’s and have used that experience to mold my own unique style. I really enjoy newer music and I have a great knowledge of all of the wedding hits.

Your wedding is about YOU. The joy on your guests faces as they experience an amazing night at a party that YOU planned is priceless. I look forward to meeting with you to plan your event and make it as smooth and fun as possible.

Sara & Alan - December 31, 2011

"Tim was amazing - no one left the dance floor - He played all of our favorites and our suggestions, and didn't play anything we didn't want. He was so curteous and professional. One of the best vendors I've worked with throughout the entire wedding process."

Karen & Jared - December 23, 2011

"Tim was fantastic- very professional and organized, and just the right mix of energy, but not over-the-top. The mix of music he chose incorporated a lot of what we like, so he was really in tune with our interests. (we got a lot of "great music selection" comments) Something unique that Tim provided for us was cutting the 2nd verse of a song (Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water") to support a reasonable dancing time for the father-daughter dance. The cut was remarkably seamless! And when the son-mother dance spontaneously evolved into the parents & bride/groom all dancing, Tim didn't skip a beat in announcing the parties, as if it were planned! This showed he was really paying attention. Overall, the experience and planning Tim put into the night really showed, and we were very pleased with the reception.
Thanks to Sounds Abound and Tim for providing a great atmosphere and night to remember for everyone involved!"

Amanda & Clif - December 10, 2011

"I highly recommend Sounds Abound, and especially Tim. He was amazing! We met with him a week before our wedding and went over everything; we had a few special requests and he made us feel super comfortable that everything would run smoothly the day of our wedding. He did not disappoint! We didn't have a thing to worry about at the wedding...Tim took control of the room, made our guests feel welcome, organized our wedding party and toasts, and knew exactly what to play to keep the dance floor filled. Of all the decisions made for our wedding, choosing Sounds Abound was by far one of the best. Thanks so much Tim!"

Lindsey & Scott - November 5, 2011

"We could not have asked for a better wedding DJ. Sounds Abound, Tim specifically, helped us to plan a perfect evening. The website was easy to navigate and we were able to choose all the songs we wanted. After meeting with Tim a few weeks before the wedding, we were confident that the night would progress without a hitch. Tim's professionalism and easy-going attitude helped our event run smoothly. Tim was successful at getting a crowd of all ages up to dance and kept everyone going all night long. All of our guests complimented on the musical choices and are still talking about how much fun they had. Thank you Sounds Abound and Tim for making our wedding reception a night to remember!"

Becky & Andy - October 29, 2011

"It was amazing, our DJ was the best and made our day very special. We had a lot of special things we wanted done and he was very understanding."

Kimberly & Colin - October 8, 2011

"Tim was very easy to work with, music was great."

Hailey & Rob - October 7, 2011

"Tim was great. He met with us a couple months before the wedding and made us totally comfortable with his abilities and squelched any nerves we had. We talked to him about 10 days before our wedding and went over the whole website we had filled out. We felt super comfortable and Tim just understood everything that we wanted and the feel we wanted our wedding to have. The day of he was outgoing and fun. He really got into the reception's atmosphere and had fun with us and our bridal party. He pronounced all names correctly and did exactly what we wanted the whole night. We also had a photobooth that was great. The attendants were fabulous and all our guests kept talking about how friendly they were and they definitely had fun with our guests. They did a great job with the guest book and made a wonderful memory for us. We loved Sounds Abound. Communication and performance were way above par."

Jamie & Otto - October 2, 2011

"Tim is very professional and responsive. He did a wonderful job."

Bobbi & Isreal - September 4, 2011

Rachael & Jeremy - August 13, 2011

"Our experience with Sounds Abound was great! Our questions were always answered quickly which we really appreciated. As far as our big day, everything was perfect! Tim was wonderful! He was so great with all our guests doing introductions and everything! He got all the songs we wanted for our ceremony and listened to our requests for dinner and the reception. Overall he made the day so enjoyable! Thanks so much!"

Meghan & Ted - August 6, 2011

"We wanted to write to you with the highest recommendation that we could possibly give to our DJ,Tim Yach. Tim was our DJ for our wedding and he exceeded our expectations. Tim had taken the time to meet with us prior to our wedding and he really worked with us to make sure that he implemented everything that we wanted. He was very flexible and encouraging with our ideas as well as sharing his own great ideas. He played music that was perfect and the best part of it all was that he had the dance floor packed the entire night. His music choices were perfect and he could definitely feel the crowd to play music that pertained to all guests at the wedding. Many guests commented on how great the DJ was too!! :o) Tim was very accommodating to last minute additions that we wanted as well. We would recommend Tim to any couple who is looking to guarantee a packed dance floor all night long. We would greatly appreciate it if you could extend to Tim how appreciative we are and how lucky we were to have him be the source of our wedding entertainment!! Thank you."

Jen & Alan - August 5, 2011

"From start to finish, working with Sounds Abound and all of the staff was an excellent experience. There was no question that never went unanswered and was always answered quickly. The DJ was better than we had already thought he was. Every song we wanted played got played and from those selections he had no problem seeing what type of music we wanted for our wedding. All of our guests commented on what a great job Tim did and we couldn’t agree more. We appreciate everyone’s hard work for making our day the best possible. We will defiantly tell anyone to use Sounds Abound for their next party, wedding or event."

Stephanie & Jacob - July 30, 2011

"Our experience with Tim as a DJ was wonderful! Tim was professional, respectful, and provided an excellent atmosphere for our wedding. Well before the wedding, Tim contacted us so that he could get to know our musical taste as well as the pronunciations of all the wedding party. Having Tim as a DJ not only provided us with great music and atmosphere, but also someone who knew the in's and out's of receptions. I'm really glad that I had Tim there to keep our reception in order!Keep up the great work!"

Gloria & Paul - July 23, 2011

"Tim and the rest of your team were awesome. Tim kept the evening on schedule and kept everyone out on the dance floor with a great selection of music even leading a dance himself. The photo booth guys were efficient and very personable. The whole team was professional and attentive. Our guests had a blast."

Michelle & Jasen - July 10, 2011

"Michelle and I wanted to thank you for the terrific job you did as our DJ/MC. Although the weather did not cooperate for us, we appreciate all the extra work you did to move locations to get us music for our ceremony. Thank you for working with our families to setup the slide projector and screen and you really kept the night going as promised during our wedding reception. We are happy we went with Sounds Abound for our wedding needs and will be happy to recommend you to our friends and family. Thank you for making our night a memorable one and for your help to keep the night moving for our guests. It was a great time for all."

Erin & David - July 9, 2011

"Tim was excellent."

Lisa & Jon - June 25, 2011

"I just wanted to take the time to say what an absolute pleasure it was to work with our DJ Tim and your Sounds Abound staff. We have been told that our wedding was an absolute success and feel this was due to Tim's services. He was easy to work with and kept the party going all night. Our event was stress free and an absolute blast. I was able to contact Tim directly for any changes or questions and he would get back to me within hours. I would highly recommend him to anyone and he kept our event moving smoothly, I'm a bit of a control freak and it was nice to let go and not have to worry about a thing. Once again, I can not stress how awesome Sounds Abound has been and how fun it was to work with Tim! Spectacular!"

Nancy (MOB) - Lauren & Chris - June 11, 2011

"I am the brides mom and I just wanted to say that I thought Tim did a fantastic job at my daughter's wedding. The dance floor was crowded from the time Tim started till they turned the lights on at 12:00pm. I can't say it enough, he was excellent. I would highly recommend him again and again."

Susan Connley (MOG) - Jill & Dean - April 23, 2011

"We wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our DJ, Timothy Yach. We wanted a balance between the dignity of a dinner hour and the spontaneity of a dance floor. I think Timothy created both moods with style and professionalism. We would also like to compliment Kevin, our photo booth operator for his unfailing patience and never-ending smile!"

Jenny - Timothy Christian High School - February 12, 2011

"Tim, You guys have been willing to do whatever we ask as far as music and have worked with us the past few times we have had dances. We know we never have any problems with you and can count on you! We appreciate your great customer service. We will definitely be working with you at our future dances! Thank you!"

Katherine & Tom - January 22, 2011

"We contacted Tim through the sounds abound website after we had some scheduling issues a few weeks prior to our reception. We chose Tim based on his video and his overall personality and he did not disappoint. Due to the crazy schedule we had prior to the ceremony it was hard to find time to meet Tim. He was very accomodating, very understanding, did a great job of putting our minds at ease that he was perfect for our reception. We had a few things that we specifically did and did not want at the reception, Tim handled our requests with ease was very professional and had a great rapport with our guests. His introductions were spot on, he did a great job with the announcements, the songs we wanted to hear, the songs we didn't want to hear, etc. He's a genuinely nice guy who seemed to be very happy for us as a couple and understood how important this day was for us. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone needing a DJ in the future."

Leah & Brian - October 9, 2010

"Tim was fantastic. Everybody has been commenting about how great of a job he did and how much fun we had dancing. He clearly listened to us when we met with him because he played songs that we were pleasantly surprised with as well as everything we requested. Best DJ experience I have been a part of. Tim was very professional and did not try to be the center of attention (which we requested). His behind the scenes orchestration of the event was seamless. I would be happy to be a reference anytime going forward."

Maggie & Jon - September 5, 2010

"Tim Yach did a wonderful job playing the songs that we wanted to hear and kept the dance floor going for the whole night. He was respectful of our opinions during the reception and had a good level of interaction with our guests. We would choose him again as our DJ."

Julie & Brandon - August 28, 2010

"I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that my new husband and I LOVED working with our DJ, Tim Yach.
First off, let me say that we chose Tim from the website because, in his video, he really seemed to personify the ideal DJ in my mind--it is clear that he is passionate about this job and quite good at it, but he also knows when to let the music and the party do the talking. When we met him face to face, he was the consummate professional but also just seemed like an all-around nice guy that would fit in well with many different types of social circles. Meeting him a few weeks before the wedding really got us excited about the big day and we left knowing everything was going to be a blast with Tim at the helm!
As the date of our event approached rapidly, I had absolutely NO concerns about the music--I knew that Tim was on it and, should anything go wrong, he and the Sounds Abound team would make it right. I was not even remotely nervous about the DJ, which is probably a LOT more than most frantic brides can say right before their wedding and I think this is a testament to both Tim AND the Sounds Abound organization.
And of course, we did not have any issues whatsoever. Tim got the party started and immediately our crowd reacted. The energy and enthusiasm he brought to the evening was palpable. Quickly the dancers got to know Tim by name (and not, Hey DJ!) and he got to know some of the "stars" of the dance floor by name, as well!! It felt like one of our friends was working the music. People are still talking about Tim and what a great job he did!
One item of personal importance to me was the "please play" and "do not play" lists. I did not hear one song from the do not play list and I can't think of any from the play list that were missed. I think the best part was that they were all spaced out and timed perfectly with the mood of the crowd. Tim really understands that a single song can make or break those key moments in the event.
It would be my pleasure to recommend him to others that are looking for a DJ for ANY event. Our goal was to have a fun, youthful, energetic and bright wedding, and Tim was the perfect fit.
THANKS AGAIN and a special thanks to Tim!!!!"

Keri & John - August 20, 2010

"I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was working with Tim Yach for our wedding. He was so great, very friendly and accessible during the planning process and professional as well. The night of our wedding was extremely stressful for me, and when I heard the music that we had chosen being played, it was just so awesome. Tim had a great energy and vivaciousness that you desire in a DJ. I was nervous about people not dancing at my wedding and I swear Tim had every single person out on the floor, from young to old. He did exactly as I asked and then from his own expertise took over and flourished. He was definitely in his element and even was able to join the crowd, which was supercool! I'll be sure to recommend him to everyone I know getting married in the future. Give this man a raise!"

Laura & Mike - August 13, 2010

"We got to work with a GREAT DJ from Sounds Abound Entertainment, Tim Yach! He was great and really took our requests into consideration. He did a great job getting all the Greeks to come out on the dance floor and teach us a thing or two :). He kept the party going and we appreciated him making all the tributes to married couples and really personalizing our day. THANKS TIM!"

Megan & Brian - August 6, 2010

"We can't wait to team up with Sounds Abound again! Our DJ, Tim, ramped up the music selections perfectly, building the evening just right! The photobooth and attendant were a big hit, too. The videographer was very professional, we can't wait to see the finished product!
Tim did such an amazing job - from the beginning he really made a point to get to know Brian and I. He wanted to get a feel for what the crowd was going to be like so he could best meet their musical needs. We had a hodge-podge group, but they were all out on the dance floor together. During the reception, Tim made the entire evening run so smoothly. I didn't have to think about what was "suppose" to be next. And if we wanted something changed, Tim was our man to make sure we were happy. One of my sorority sisters even brought up a cd and asked him to play a song from it. With no hesitation, Tim played it and the girls swarmed to the dance floor. It was tons of fun. Our reception would not have been as memorable had it not been for Tim. Very friendly with all of our guest, approachable and easily accessible. Throughout our planning process, I was in constant email/cell phone communication. He made the reception of my dreams come true. Even after the groom and I left, Tim made sure the party was still up and running. It was a great time had by all. Thanks for everything Tim!!!"

Jennifer & Jeff - July 25, 2010

"Tim Yach was such a pleasure to work with from the planning of our reception music all the way to the end of the evening. He was very good about communicating with us prior to the wedding and meeting with us to insure he understood what type of venue we were looking to create that day. He coordinated his efforts with the staff at The Herrington and with the photographer during the reception with professionalism. Overall, we had a wonderful time as well as our guest with Tim's professional DJ services. We would highly recommend him!"

Joyce & Adam - May 1, 2010

"Tim is a great DJ. He did an excellent job and helped make our wedding day special and memorable. All of our guests couldn't stop saying how great the music sounded and how fun the DJ was. I would recommend Tim to anyone and I am thankful for everything he did to make our wedding a huge success."
