Tim's Bio

I appreciate you taking the time to read my bio! My name is Tim Yach and my DJ career spans back to 2008 when I started as a DJ Apprentice with Sounds Abound. I learned so much through my time of working with the incredible DJs in the company and finding my own unique style. After my time with Sound Abound and Illinois, I moved to Kansans City and began working as a DJ there and rocking hundreds of successful events. I continued crafting my skills of mixing while adding a modern vibe to my professional MC abilities for the next 6 years. Now I’m back in Chicago and back at Sounds Abound to be your DJ at your next event!

My focus has always been to set my clients minds at ease and ensure that their event is exactly what THEY want it to be. I truly love the atmosphere of a party and seeing guests have a wonderful time on the dance floor and my positive attitude and attentive nature will show it. I look forward to meeting you and helping to create your event that all of your friends and family will be talking about for years to come!

What Clients Say About Tim

Tim LOVES to DJ

We used Sounds Abound Entertainment for our wedding reception and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Many of my friends and family (Along with me!) were on the dance floor all night. Our DJ was Tim Yach and he was phenomenal. I was getting compliments about our DJ Choice all night. He read the room and played songs that kept people dancing. He played a great mix of older and newer songs to keep everyone involved. During the wedding planning, he met with me and my fiance to discuss song choices and the genres we like. We also went over the order of events and Tim stayed on top of it all night. It is very evident that Tim loves to DJ and that this is a passion of his.

10/10 Recoomend

The best DJ service you will ever use. We used Tim Yach from Sound Abound for our wedding and he was phenomenal. 10/10. Would recommend Sound Abound to anyone for any and would recommend using Tim if he is available.

AJ & Mary

Packed Dance Floor

Sounds Abound was amazing to work with and we had nothing but great reviews from our guests on Tim’s performance. Tim was able to get everyone out on the dance floor all night. There was not one moment during the night when the dance floor was not packed.

Sarah & Chris

Absolutely Wonderful

Tim was absolutely wonderful and I’d highly recommend him. During our first meeting, he came across as organized, experienced, friendly and competent. At our wedding, he was excellent with accommodating our last minute requests and leading the reception. We didn’t have a wedding planner, so his role with the reception was vital. My now husband was very particular when choosing the DJ as he didn’t want anyone cheesy or exaggerated, and Tim was definitely neither of those! He was very professional and I’d recommend him to anyone choosing Sounds Abound

Our Wedding was MAGICAL!

We could not be more happy with Tim’s DJing, he had everyone on the dance floor all night long; from the kids in highschool to the grandparents! Not only was Tim very professional, but he was also so nice and you can tell he really cared about making our wedding “the best”. You can tell he really loves what he does. He made everything so stress free and easy for us. It has been 3 weeks since our wedding and our guests are still telling us what an amazing time they had, and we really owe it all to Tim for keeping up the energy and playing the best music! One thing I especially liked was; it was time for the bouquet and garter toss, and everybody was having such an amazing time dancing that Tim came up to me and asked if I still wanted to stop the party and do both toss’s…I told him to just skip it because I really didnt want the energy to stop. I thought it was very professional of him to feel out the situation and how much fun the guests were having and ask if we wanted to do it. He clearly picked up on our personalities right away because both Matt and I said absolutely do not stop the music and let everybody keep dancing! No one even noticed that we skipped it!  We also used Sounds Abound for our uplighting which turned out to be better than my expectations. the uplighting was absolutely beautiful! Everybody had something to say about how amazing the tent looked with the purple lights. It was stunning. If I had to do it all over again there is no doubt in my mind I would use sounds abound and request Tim as my DJ. Thank you again for everything, you really made our wedding magical!
Elizabeth & Matt

Recommend to ANYONE

Tim played such great music during the cocktail hour and dinner, we had people asking when we were doing to have our first dance. They were just itching to get out on the dance floor. He kept them going right to the end! I’d recommend him to anyone. Thanks again, Tim!

Tracy & John

The Party was Rockin’!

Tim agreed to stay later because our party was so rockin’. He also took care of everything such as speeches and the introductions of the bridal party, which meant I just had to worry about having fun!

Becky & Kris

Fantastic, Professional, & Organized

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!

Jared & Karen

Tim was Amazing

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.

Sara & Alan

Highly Recommend Tim

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

Easy Going & Professional

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!

Lindsey & Scott

Tim was GREAT

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

Respectful & Professional

Our overall experience was excellent. Tim did a great job keeping in contact with us before the wedding, incorporated all of our song choices, and providing people with great dancing music all night.

Tim Yach was AWESOME

Tim and the rest of the Sounds Abound 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.
