Testimonials

Sounds Abound was probably the best company we used for our wedding out of all of our vendors! They were super easy to work with, gave us SO much understanding and leniency during Covid and all the changes to our wedding date (we had to change our wedding date 3 different times)! Once we finally had our reception, our DJ Craig Mohler was AMAZING! We had so many special requests and he made them happen smoothly and without any pushback! When I say special requests, I mean we did a flashmob, also during some of the speeches the speakers requested help from Craig to queue certain songs throughout the speech, AND I wrote a song for my husband and recorded it and Craig was able to play it after I sent him the recording file. He did amazing even with all of mine and my family’s crazy requests. He also played such a great mix of music that everyone enjoyed! The dance floor was so packed with people, and it was definitely because of the great DJ!

Tony graciously shared his incredible talent with my daughter and her friends for a Glam Glow 10th Birthday party. He provided all the lighting and sound with top of the line equipment. The adults present were forced off the dance floor by the kids on multiple occasions (something about us being embarrassing? :)) - his music hit right for everyone. He played just enough of each song and seamlessly mixed for a constant flow of sound.  He arrived early, loaded into our space without difficulty and set the vibe perfectly so that the party was in full swing by the time people arrived.  Tony was fun, kind, professional, and never stopped smiling. We can't wait to have him back for another event. Thanks Tony!!!

We had the BEST time with Ray Jones as our DJ for our NYE 2022 wedding!!! From the moment we booked with Sounds Abound, they made the entire experience so easy and fun. The company is incredibly responsive, answering questions as needed and also sending out reminders when you get closer to your wedding date. The online planner was easy to use and really helped us get our music organized before the big day.

Our first meeting with Ray was on a phone call and we loved him from that moment!!! Ray is enthusiastic, welcoming, flexible, and passionate about what he does. We knew from that phone call that his fun and lighthearted spirit would be the perfect match for our NYE wedding. Ray is truly a pro; our wedding was at the Joliet Union Station Grand Ballroom (dream venue!) which has some acoustic challenges due to the stone walls/ceilings/floors and echo. Ray had worked the venue before, and he worked so hard that night to constantly balance the sound so that all speeches and music could be heard. He did an excellent job at reading the room all night and played an exceptional range of music, from our must listens to guest requests, and much else in between!! He made sure the dance floor was packed all night. We also had the privilege of having Ray's wife as the assistant, who was also incredible. All of the music, from cocktail hour, to dinner, to the reception, was a perfect mix. The flow of the evening was impeccable!

We would highly recommend Sounds Abound and especially Ray to anyone getting married. They are a professional company who work so hard to make sure your wedding is the best party/exactly what you want!

Sounds Abound was very professional and easy to work with. Ray Jones was the DJ at our wedding. He kept the party going all night long! You can tell he really loves what he does! All of our friends and family were raving about how great of a job Ray did. Would definitely recommend this company and Ray to others!

We saw them at a wedding expo and were recommended them through our venue. We were given a list of DJs to choose from, and we chose Ray Jones. The process to start was pretty easy and almost everything was organized on their website. We were given our own login for our site. On our site there was a questionnaire to fill out and music selections with the ability to listen to the songs. We set a night aside and had fun listening to music and setting up our playlist songs that were musts and ones to not play. We filled out a questionnaire laying out what we most think of for a typical wedding (first dance, bouquet toss, etc.) as well as basic information about your wedding party. The best part was you can just save it and come back to it all, until two weeks prior to your event. He was a very good DJ constantly changing the music to keep the energy up. He would engage the crowd and try to keep the party moving.

Tony Ho was our DJ for our annual Gala at WDSRA. From the moment I met him, he was wonderful! Professional and personable! This was the first time in years we had a full dance floor, and no one ever left! It was like he personally knew our crowd and new exactly what to play. People were raving about Tony! If you want a fun night that will please your guests- look no further- Tony is your man!

Last Saturday, we had Tony Ho with Sounds Abound Entertainment at our annual fundraiser dinner. He was amazing! He was so easy going and so easy to work with, totally professional. He made all the announcements that needed to be made, when they needed to be made, and he did a much better job than any of us would have. His choice of music, from light dinner music to dancing after dinner, was exactly what we wanted. He even made the room look so much better by bringing in some up lighting. We will definitely be contacting Tony for next year’s event.

Our wedding would not have been the same without Tony as our DJ. He is without a doubt one of the best DJ’s in the business. On top of his mastery over music and vibe setting, he was an amazing host for each stage of our wedding. Not only did he take a lot of stress out of the music planning, he absolutely nailed the music for our wedding and helped keep a structure to the night.

Prior to the wedding, we had a detailed phone call with Tony where he prioritized understanding the music and vibes we wanted to set for the different parts of our wedding. On the night itself, Tony absolutely nailed everything we had asked for and effortlessly incorporated all the nuances of our different music tastes into the wedding itself. He perfectly executed the special songs we picked for our ceremony and first dances, and helped keep the right pace so we didn’t miss a thing. For cocktail hour and dinner, he set the mood and was spot on with the songs and artists we had discussed prior to the night. When it came to the reception, Tony was second to none. He had the dance floor packed and kept everyone dancing.

My husband and I have received nothing but compliments about how fantastic Tony was. He is truly one of the best at his craft and we could not have asked for more. Hire this man, you will not regret it!

There really, truly aren’t words to express how thankful we are for you and all of your hard work throughout our wedding planning process and on our wedding day. We know that this wedding wasn’t your easiest, and we know that we may have been some of your crazier clients. With that being said, you absolutely blew our expectations out of the water and helped make our dream come true. You were the most easy going and easy to work with. We genuinely can’t even describe how thankful we are to have had someone like you on our team, who helped make the party we were looking for happen. We had lots of people mentioning how much they “loved the DJ” and just wanted to share that with you. We had the absolute BEST vendor team and cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If we could relive this day, we would do it all over again.

Thank You for all of your help and dedication towards making our wedding day so special. We appreciate how easy you made everything for us and for getting everyone on the dance floor! Our friends and family RAVED about you and how smoothly everything went. You're the best and we can't THANK YOU enough!

We got married 4 months ago & still have people commenting about how fun the wedding was thanks to the music. The music kept people on their feet all night! Matt Ammons was our DJ and he did a phenomenal job at reading the audience. We didn’t make too many requests and let him do his thing & were not disappointed. Thank you! Wish we could do it 100 more times!

We hired Steve from Sounds Abound from our wedding off of a recommendation and it was the best decision! Steve kept the dance floor alive! There was never a dull moment. His fun and energetic voice really kept the guests engaged at the reception. He made sure we heard all our favorite songs! I highly recommend Steve and the rest of the Sounds Abound staff for your wedding.

We had Matt as our DJ for our New Year's Eve wedding, and he was great. He showed up on time and got to work right away. It was easy to tell he had a lot of experience being a DJ and was able to read the vibe of the room very well. I would definitely recommend Matt and Sounds abound to friends or family looking for entertainment for any type of event in the future.

Sounds Abound was amazing from the start with our initial wedding inquiry. Keith our DJ and Brandon our photo booth attendant were so personable and made our wedding so much fun. We received SO many compliments from guests on the photo props and music variety. Keith was great to work with for our custom entrance and kept high energy on the dance floor the whole night. 110% would recommend!

We used Sounds Abound and DJ Tony Coix for our wedding, and we could not have been happier with the results! The office team at a Sounds Abound was timely with their responses (even if I wasn't) and was easy to work with. Tony was able to take our vast taste in music to put together a wonderful reception. His ability to read the room kept the dance floor full all evening! I would highly recommend Sounds Abound and Tony Coix to any family or friends.

From a 2022 Bride! The music at our reception was fantastic. It was the right balance of songs we requested to keep the atmosphere lively. There wasn’t a point that a music change interrupted the flow. Matt Ammons was THE BEST DJ! The rest of the Sounds Abound Team was so easy and helpful to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I live in NJ and was planning an event at the Lucca Osteria for my company. It was the first Awards Ceremony for an Intermodal Company, and I needed a more low-key presence. I was recommended to Tony Ho, Sounds Abound Entertainment, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. He was amazing, a true class act and professional. The music choice for the event was perfect, weaved in with some holiday cheer. Brilliant!

Working with Tony was pure ease. We received so many compliments on the event, and the music! It was just a wonderful backdrop to our event, added some excitement, fun and foot tapping to what could have been a stuffy event!
Thank you, Tony!

We cannot say thank you enough for being our wedding reception DJ! You did an INCREDIBLE job and kept the dance floor packed the entire night! We are so thankful we chose you as our DJ! And we were so happy you were able to accommodate our request to play "Tank" from Cowboy Bebop as our bridal party entered the reception! We will always remember dancing the night away until the bitter end! Thank you for all that you do - it is such a talent.

Tony Ho is the greatest showman ever. My friend recommended him and he's worth every penny. We were an impossible couple: our music tastes could not get farther apart. I wanted old school honky tonk, my husband wanted 2 Chainz. We picked ridiculous songs -- our first dance was the BeeGees. Somehow, this saint of a man made it work. We sent him our favorite spotify playlists. Every other song one of us was ecstatic about -- and somehow he made it sound great. I'm convinced he can work with anyone to do anything. He has a beautiful voice and great presentation. He kept us on time and went with the flow on our last minute changes. We were married in March and my husband talks about his man crush 7 months later. Thank you, Tony!

Tony Ho was our DJ and let me say he blew it out of the park!! He took, what people typically wouldn't consider wedding music (for those who aren't a fan of traditional wedding jams like I am) and made it fit in perfectly to our wedding day!! I never got a chance to really leave the dance floor because he was always playing "my jam" haha! Tony is super personable and even let some of my guest take photos behind the DJ booth. He was quick to answer emails and so accommodating! 100/100!! My guest loved the music and the vibes. Almost want another wedding just to book him again!

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.

Okay if you are even thinking of booking Sounds Abound, just do it now!! Booking our DJ was hard for me, I had never booked a DJ before, but I knew I wanted a non-stop party, no one to leave the dance floor, and to completely dance the night away! Well with Keith from Sounds Abound that is EXACTLY what we got. Keith was the best DJ and best vendor we had the privilege to work with. Keith made picking music so easy and even made a remix for my dad and I to do a surprise dance to. He always answered every email or frantic text so quickly, which put my stressed bride self at ease. He made this part of wedding planning so effortless. Not only did we dance the night away, but Keith KNEW how to make it feel like one big dance party and was a master at mixing the songs, picking the best parts of every song, and knew if the crowd wasn't feeling something. He was the BEST MC ever and made our intros for the bridal party so much fun! We got so many compliments on the music and truly no one left the dance floor the entire night. I believe the DJ will make or break your wedding and Keith made our night the best night of my life. So, Keith and the rest of the Sounds Abound team, THANK YOU!!! Please book them everyone, you won't regret it and your guests will thank you.

I could not have asked for a better DJ than Tony Ho at our wedding! Whenever I had a question or inquiry, he responded within hours and made my vision come true! He gave me full creative control with everything, and didn't hesitate to make it into a reality. I cannot recommend Sounds Abound and Tony Ho enough, they really were an incredible team to work with! Thank you sooooo much!!!!

Sounds abound was amazing to work with for my wedding! Amazing customer service & really know what they are doing! We had DJ Matt Ammons, he was the best! Super personal and professional. He was great at reading the room when it came to music! Highly recommend this company!

Tony Ho was the best DJ - he made sure he played all the songs we wanted and really kept the dance floor alive. All our guests had a blast, and I can only thank Sounds Abound for being the best! Nicole was super helpful at the photo booth and really made our guests feel comfortable! Multiple of our guests did it many times, it was an absolute hit!

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.

We cannot say enough positive things about Sounds Abound and Geoff specifically! They were great at communication, tool was easy to use, and overall amazing to work with. we didn’t have to worry about anything. Geoff was our DJ and he absolutely crushed it. As soon as the music started everyone was on the dance floor. People did not leave it all night, and people all keep telling us how fun it was and how great the music was. He did a perfect mix of oldies/new music, and all ages were out there all night. AND we threw 2 new things in right before we needed them during the speeches and the introductions and he had it down perfectly. Also a big shout out to Vince who handled the photo booth people loved it!! We cannot say enough about them, would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!!

I am writing this review as a guest/member of the bridal party from our friends wedding this past weekend who was so impressed with the experience we had with DJ Tony and Sounds Abound Entertainment! I too got married this past year and while I also loved the DJ we used and had no complaints with our experience, I truly felt the need to express to Tony and to everyone who will read this what an amazing guy he is. Not only was the dance floor packed the ENTIRE NIGHT, I also saw him interacting one on one with the guests, making jokes, keeping a smile on his face all night and most importantly, he helped kept the whole day move along seamlessly. Aside from being behind the DJ booth and keeping the crowd partying all night, I also wanted to highlight the fact that I saw he had taken some candid and fun pictures for the bride and groom all on his own that we were all able to enjoy the following day. Typically, the bride and groom and the bridal party are too busy to have their phones out to snap a few cool pictures or videos to look back on while we all wait for the highly anticipated professional photos and videos. So the fact that Tony took the time to come out in the venue and snap a few decoration/venue pictures and bridal party pictures/videos and share with us the next day was awesome. He truly went the extra mile and that is definitely something that needs to be recognized! I would recommend again and again Tony Ho for any event DJ needs! What an awesome guy and an awesome night celebrating our friends thanks to Tony!

Tony Ho is amazing and meant to do what he does! Our wedding was 11/5/22 and it was a PARTY!!! He was super approachable from the very beginning! He knows exactly how to party and keep the dance floor crowded! We will use him again for any event! No need to look elsewhere, Tony is the man to go to for your event needs! He listens to everything you say, feels the crowd, and goes from there! Best decision of our wedding: booking with Tony from Sounds Abound.

Jason Yach was an incredible DJ for our wedding! We had many specific requests for songs as well as introductions that he made happen with no issues. He's very personable and will work with you for what you want for your reception playlist. We had picked a lot of songs on the portal they have, and he arranged them in a way that worked great with a crowd. Started from older songs and transitioned into other genres seamlessly. I strongly recommend picking him as your DJ for your wedding or any event!

Brian K. was an amazing DJ and kept our dancefloor packed the entire night long. He was super flexible and checked in with us throughout the night to make sure our expectations were being met. Brian took care to pronounce the wedding party's names correctly and was responsive to a couple last minute requests like a story during dinner from my Father-in-Law. One of my favorite memories was when Brian played a song from a punk band my cousins and I love that we requested. Everyone was so surprised and happy to have that moment together. Thank you for your kindness and attention to detail Brian! Special shoutout to Nicole as well for keeping us on track and informed every step of the way.

Book Tony Ho at Sounds Abound for the best wedding reception ever! My husband and I are pretty specific about what we like and don't like in music, but as soon as we met Tony, we knew it was a fit. He gladly played what we provided as well as added the perfect songs in to match our preferences and feel!! The cocktail hour music was a vibe, the speeches and important dances went seamlessly, and the dancefloor was going all night!! Professional, fun, and easy to work with - thanks Tony!

We had Geoff for our wedding this last couple weeks at the Bolingbrook golf club and he knocked it out of the park. Had a couple hidden surprises in the day for the guests and he did a great job really personalizing the event.

Hi Everyone!

We had Ray Jones as our DJ for our wedding night at the Herrington Inn & Spa on October 8th, 2022, and to say he was amazing is an understatement. Ray was great with communication before, during, and after the wedding. He helped us give him a better idea of what music we were looking to hear, and he was extremely easy to work with. Not only was his playlist spot on, but his energy he brought to the wedding and kindness was incredible. We had multiple people that celebrated with us that night that endlessly complimented Ray and the incredible job he did. One of my good friends texted me the day after the wedding and said, "I felt like the playlist was made for me." Everyone was dancing the entire night and having a great time on the dance floor and Ray was one of the biggest contributors to making that happen. Again, his energy and excitement were contagious and made everyone feel welcomed to the dance floor and excited to be out there. Thank you again Ray and we highly recommend him to everyone!

Our DJ Keith was amazing! He read the crowd well, everyone was dancing throughout the night. The planning piece was super easy, Keith and the other Sounds Abound staff were always there for questions. Could not recommend more!

Tony Ho with Sounds Abound was our wedding DJ earlier this month and did an absolutely fantastic job! Tony was incredibly communicative leading up to our wedding and was very responsive to any questions we had. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night long and we received numerous compliments on his work. We would highly recommend Tony for any event!! Thank you, Tony!!!

Tony Ho is the best!!!! Everything was literally perfect, and we absolutely enjoyed working with Sounds Abound! We didn’t have to worry about a thing. We will tell everyone about our wonderful experience!!!

Tony made us feel so special especially with our last dance. We kicked everyone out to soak up the day, and we literally thought Tony left but he popped up after the song and we shared a laugh, and it was absolutely perfect!! 10/10!!

It was such a pleasure working with Sounds Abound. One of the most attentive, professional companies I have come across. The attention to detail from the office staff to our amazing DJ was second to none. Our DJ, Keith was on the ball and contacted me day-of for nearly every communication I sent. Keith's experience quelled all my concerns about the wedding day. He has seen it all and knows how to act on his feet. His cadence and strong voice were exactly what I was looking for in a DJ. He controlled the vibe and energy throughout the evening- the dance floor was LIT. Everything went so well. Keith and Vince (photo booth attendant) were awesome! I received SO MUCH PRAISE at the wedding. I have already had a couple friends who are getting married ask for info on Sounds Abound, which I have forwarded to them. THANK YOU for helping make our special day perfect!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for joining us on our wedding day. It was a fantastic experience working with you and your team. We are so grateful for you spending your Saturday with us. We will be recommending you to everyone we know. THANK YOU!

We had Tony Ho DJ our wedding and he was the best! He played a range of music, as we didn’t have super specific guidelines. Everyone has been talking about how amazing he was! He had such great communication with us before and during the wedding and he’s just generally a super nice and fun person - DJ-ing fits him perfectly! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

There aren't enough words to explain how incredible it was to work with him! Before we signed our contract, Tony made himself available to connect with us over the phone. This gave us the opportunity to "interview" him and get to know his personality before making any commitments. Within 2 minutes of speaking with Tony, we knew immediately that he was the one! He was so lively and outgoing on the phone, and we had a gut feeling his energy would translate to the dancefloor (which it undoubtedly did!). Prior to our wedding day, we connected with Tony via a Zoom meeting, and it was so fun to chat with him virtually! During this meeting, Tony collected all the information he needed from us to make sure our wedding day went as smooth as possible (e.g., made sure he knew how to pronounce bridal party names, confirmed our timeline/order of events, and more!). During the days leading up to our wedding, I texted Tony A LOT. I bugged him with various last-minute questions and ideas which he always quickly and kindly responded to with the answers we needed - he never made me feel like a bother! On our actual wedding day, Tony CRUSHED IT. He gave us the dance party of our dreams!! There was never a dull moment or a lull in dancing. Tony was able to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed for the entire three and a half hours that we had our dance floor open! We couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding DJ and our feelings were affirmed when ALL of our wedding guests raved to us about Tony after the wedding! We cannot recommend Tony Ho enough! If you are looking for a DJ who is friendly, funny, and will keep the party going, Tony is 100% for you!

Tony Ho was absolutely amazing!!! We wanted everyone at our wedding to be dancing the night away, so picking a great DJ was our number one priority. Tony definitely delivered. We loved Tony so much that if he ever decided to go wild and pull all-nighters, we would hire him for a full 24 hours so that he could DJ the after party and next morning brunch as well. Before officially booking Tony, we interviewed several different DJs and Tony was the clear winner. He was personable and the perfect amount of hype while not taking the center of attention away from my husband and me. He also was one of the only DJs we interviewed who made us and our music taste feel heard as a couple. My husband and I's taste is a little all over the place and we also wanted to appeal to the older folks at our wedding as well. Tony listened and interpreted our style perfectly. Beyond that, many DJs have an online portal for planning purposes. Since we interviewed a lot of DJs, we saw a lot of different portals. Tony's was up-to date with the times, had song suggestions, and was very easy to use. For all of the special songs we requested, Tony did a great job at making sure the right people were on the dance floor. I loved that he had an assistant who was able to come and find me for special dances instead of summoning me over the speakers. We also had 3 different locations that we needed music for: the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Tony did a great job at setting up at all 3 locations on time and smoothly. Peace, Love, Tony

My husband (boyfriend at the time) and I attended a friend’s wedding who had Tony Ho as their DJ and he absolutely crushed it that we knew if we were ever to get married, Tony would be our DJ. A few years later, it was our turn and the only DJ we “researched” (since we reached out to our friends), spoke to, and booked was Tony. The booking and coordination process leading up to the wedding day was so easy. He’s such a fun guy, laid back, so kind, and super professional. His style immediately vibed with ours. On the day of the wedding, he read the room so well and played all of our favorite songs. Literally no one left the dance floor. It was nice having a DJ who was creative with his own style but listened to us as his clients who didn’t want the typical overplayed wedding songs. Trust me when I say that he will cater to your needs, make the room and you as clients feel at ease, and ensure you have a good time at your event. Most of all, he let my husband karaoke to his favorite song at the end of the night and the entire guest list stuck around just for that encore! Hire Tony — having a DJ who knows how to run the show and set the tone of the event are imperative to having a memorable event and he exceeded those expectations. THANK YOU, TONY! We have a whole list of friends who still need to get married, so we’ll be recommending you to them, haha!

Sounds Abound DJ'd our wedding this past September and I would 150% recommend them, specifically Tony Ho, to really get your party started! Tony took the time to get to know us and meet with us prior to our event, he kept in touch throughout the whole planning process, and answered the thousands of questions we had. He was so personable and fun, he made our night one to remember! He interacted with guests and had a VERY professional set-up. He is very talented and knows how to get a crowd up and dancing! The night was a blast, one I will never forget! Thanks to him and the whole Sounds Abound team, you are UNBEATABLE!! 12/10!!

We recently worked with Matt Ammons as our wedding DJ from Sounds Abound. Matt did an absolutely fantastic job as our DJ, and we couldn’t be happier with how the night went! He kept things moving throughout the evening and worked really well with our photographer. Our guests really enjoyed the atmosphere he created for the cocktail hour and during dinner. Since our wedding was on a Sunday, a number of guests couldn’t stay for much of the dancing, but for those who could, Matt kept us energized and on our feet until the very end. We would highly recommend him if you are looking for a DJ for your special event. Matt’s assistant for the evening was Vince, who also ran our photo booth from Sounds Abound. Our guests loved the photobooth and left us a lot of fun and funny images for our guest book. Overall, Sounds Abound was a pleasure to work with—friendly, communicative, and flexible, and we would highly recommend them! Thank you all so much!

Matt was our DJ for our Oct. 8th wedding, and he was phenomenal!! Our dance floor was packed all night and he was super flexible! We got a ton of compliments from guests. They are definitely a great company to work with for your big day!

Sounds Abound was a fantastic company to work with! Everyone I interacted with was extremely professional and kind. Our DJ Gary was so fun and catered to every detail I wanted for our special day! Everyone had a blast, and a lot of that had to do with Gary and the Sounds Abound crew! I would recommend them to anyone!

We had Gary from Sounds Abound DJ our wedding, and he was awesome!! Super friendly and he really listened to what we wanted for our music. Very accommodating for some more obscure ceremony music requests as well. He made sure everyone had a great time on the dance floor, everyone from the kids to the adults were out busting a move!

Jason was our DJ and he absolutely killed it! He listened to every request/note we had and executed it perfectly. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and full of energy - from every age of guest. I’ve never been to a wedding with as great of a dance floor. Jason was very professional, organized, easy to work with, and super personable. Our photo booth through Sounds Abound was great and everyone loved it. We would hire Jason and Sounds Abound 10x over!

Tony Ho did a fantastic job DJing our wedding! He had a great selection of songs and playlists for us to choose from. His online music portal lets you build a custom playlist and plan the music for the entire day. He did thorough sound checks, and all of the music and mics came through flawlessly. He's able to read the room, keep the dance floor lively, and transition well from song to song. All our guests commented on how great he was!

Sounds Abound made the planning process so easy with their online planner and payment system. But I have to say that DJ Tony Coix was a perfect fit for our wedding. He made an excellent MC during introductions and toasts, he handled the special dances and dedications with great care, but I was most impressed that our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE time. There were people that never left the dance floor, and I've never seen that at a wedding. Myself and my husband couldn't have had more fun! He matched our energy and the energy of the room.

This should be your DJ company! We were lucky to have the owner Tony Ho turn up the party on our wedding night! He is one of the nicest guys, and fun to be around. He will play anything the couple wants to hear. We were so happy with hearing our favorite bands on our special day! Our friends and family were complimenting the music playlist and raving about how much fun they had hearing jam band and rock music all night! Tony also is amazing at last minute changes such as bridal party announcements, different order of speeches, etc. I also want to add, he has the perfect emcee voice!! He is super professional and amazing at what he does. We are so grateful we picked this company. We highly recommend hiring them for your wedding or next big event. Nicole the Entertainment Coordinator is also amazing at responding quickly and easy to get details from to stay organized and informed. This definitely helps if you are planning your wedding yourself with no planner like I did. THANK YOU, Sounds Abound!

We hired Sounds Abound to DJ our wedding, and they were fantastic. In the lead-up to the wedding, our DJ, Keith Talaga, was friendly and responsive. We could tell that executing our vision for our ceremony and reception was important to him, which meant a lot - especially given how many weddings he likely DJs in a given year. On the day of our wedding, Keith brought the energy as we asked him to, and he threw an awesome party. We can’t recommend Sounds Abound/Keith highly enough.

We hired DJ Geoff and he was fantastic!! They provided sound equipment for our ceremony and then did our cocktail hour and reception. Every step was smooth as can be from booking through the day of. We received so many compliments on the music and the photo booth was a huge hit. 10/10 would recommend!

Tony Ho is simply the best! From the initial phone call to the online planning tools to the final meeting and of course our wedding- Tony was so organized and made the DJ process so simple and easy. Tony really understood our music style and kept the party going all night! We loved having Sounds Abound at our wedding!! We also rented the photo booth, and our guests LOVED it!!! Tony even sent us every picture taken (digitally) for us to look through!

Sounds Abound was awesome and the best to work with! The online portal was easy to use and helped us to arrange all the music for the entire event. Our DJ Geoff was awesome to plan with and felt like he understood what type of music we would like as a couple. He orchestrated the entire night perfectly! We got many compliments from our guests.

We just have to send an outstanding review for the DJ, Michael Maciejewski, from Sounds Abound. We are SO happy with the music and the DJ for our daughter’s wedding reception in July! They met on zoom to plan the music and reception. Michael really listened to the bride and groom and their wishes.

He was spectacular that night in providing music, introducing the wedding party / speeches and encouraging the group to dance, making a game of getting photos of every table with the bride and groom, etc, etc. The groom is an accomplished and published musician and Michael included many of the groom’s original tunes. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about the music!! Even a month later they say nice things.

Many weddings have great music but it is so loud that people can’t even talk after dinner. Guests go home with no voices if they try to yell over the music. In our daughter's reception, Michael played all their favorite songs at a reasonable volume and the groups could still talk and have a great time if they were dancing or talking. It was much appreciated and welcome!!

Nothing but praise - we are happy customers!!

Tony Ho was made for this. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else on our special day. He has been approachable and easy to contact prior to the wedding day. We called him a few times and bounced our ideas off of him and he was easy going, gave us the time and made the phone call experience enjoyable. His personality no doubt is what makes him perfect for this job and to have on the wedding day. He was professional all the way through. I loved that he was able to to communicate with me on the wedding day to keep me in the loop such as checking in with the last dance song. He even allowed me to dj for a bit 😉 I would 100% recommended him to have for your event. My favorite part is that he takes to the time to read the audience and the bride and groom to get a feel for what they would appreciate and we don’t have to even say anything and he just took care of it for us. The groom and I ran out of time to provide a detailed list of music for our cocktail hour and dinner list but he filled in the rest for us and it was exactly what I would have planned.

As I was reviewing DJ videos to select a DJ for our wedding, I found Ray Jones. Instantly, I knew he was the one for us. Even if you’re not getting married or have an event, he just seems like a guy you need in your life!! After finally talking with him on the phone, I knew I was right. He is so personable, kind, and hilarious! He cured all my pre-wedding reception jitters by just talking to us. I knew he could be trusted with making our reception into a party. Come wedding day, he was perfect!! The music during our outdoor ceremony and microphones were set up without issues, and everyone in our 180-person wedding could hear our vows. He moved the reception along nicely and when it came time for dancing, he got EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, up to the dance floor. He will involve all the guests in celebrating and dancing. At one point, he started a conga line!! He even let me go behind the DJ set up and let me “spin”. I have never had more fun in my life!! His music choices were perfect and played all our favorites and knew what songs to play to keep the party going. We shut it down!! Ray Jones is the DJ you need in your life!!!

Our wedding was up in Harvard IL on 7/30/2022, and although Sounds Abound is located in Naperville IL, after we experienced them at a family wedding last year, I knew I needed to book with them! Surprisingly, they had one of best value pricewise in comparison to some of the DJ’s closer to our area, which made them a no brainer. We chose Matt Ammons as our DJ, and he was a PERFECT fit. He was patient and fun and kept the vibe up all night. He knew which songs to play to keep the current group on the dance floor, and accommodated music requests as long as they fit the vibe. I even received a number of compliments on the DJ, and a few requests for information on the company – and that’s when you know you’ve found a good one. They also offer photo booth options. We chose the social booth as it was the best value for the price, and you get it all night long, which is exactly what I wanted! Overall, a fantastic experience with Sounds Abound – and specifically Matt Ammons. I highly recommend them and will continue to give out their information to anyone who asks. Book them – you won’t regret it!

I found Sounds Abound through my venue's list of preferred vendors. They stood out to me because they provided both DJ services and a photo booth. They were prompt with communication, particularly through email, ever since I first inquired.

I picked Tony Ho as my DJ after reading many positive reviews about him. I can definitely say I made the right choice! I felt like I was in good hands throughout the wedding process (he was always telling me things would go seamlessly) but I honestly wasn't sure how all the songs would work with timing (i.e. timing of entrances, would the song line up with when we were trying to do something, etc). All of the music was PERFECT, it truly felt as though every song was meant for exactly what it was planned for. I have several friends who have gotten married recently and some of their biggest complaints were about their DJ playing songs they didn't want, even when they were told not to play them. Not only did Tony do an excellent job following our playlist but he also kept people dancing all night!

Tony and his assistant Doug, who helped at our photo booth, truly made everything relating to music and entertainment a breeze! Tony announced everything perfectly, from family and bridal party entrances to announcements about my late-night snack table! He made sure all the important events (bouquet toss, garter toss, sparkler exit) happened before my photographers and videographers had to depart. There was even a semi-last-minute change with our transportation for after the reception, and Tony made sure the last song and announcement for our shuttle happened before we had to depart. I would recommend Sounds Abound, Tony, and their team to everyone!

Thank you so much for all that you did for us! We couldn't imagine a nicer & more talented person to work with! You are incredible and you helped us to have an amazing night! Everything was perfect thanks to you! Thank you sooooooo much!

Tony is the BEST DJ ever! We knew he was professional and great to work with from our first conversation. He put us right at ease with his knowledge and demeanor. ALL of the vendors that we worked with know Tony and adore him. I cannot speak highly enough of his services. He talked us through the process leading up to our wedding. On the day of the wedding, there was a change to the entrance music. A friend was supposed to play the guitar, but no longer could. Tony stepped right in and provided the perfect music without missing a beat. During dancing, he played all of the music we had asked for, he even rapped one of the songs himself! We also had a cultural piece to our celebration. We had an Indian drummer enter and play for a while. We put Tony in touch with the drummer, and they worked together to provide the perfect atmosphere to start the party. EVERYBODY was on the dance floor thanks to Tony. He is the BEST!

Choosing Sounds Abound to DJ our wedding is by far one of the best decisions we made! Tony was our DJ and he absolutely killed it! We told him what we wanted, but gave him a lot of freedom to play what he thought we would like after speaking with him about our musical taste. We were not disappointed! We got soooo many compliments from our guest about how this was the most they have ever danced at a wedding! I also wrote a song for my dad for the dad/daughter dance and Tony made sure it was ready to go and made sure it sounded amazing! Cannot recommend him and Sounds Abound enough!

Sounds Abound and Tony Ho were just what we needed on our special day! From the beginning, we knew we were in good hands. Communication was easy, all of our requests (even the crazy ones) were honored, and we were given many great suggestions along the way. Tony helped our wedding run smoothly with his seamless transitions and attention to detail. While we gave little input on music to be played at our reception, he came through by keeping all guests on the dance floor the entire night. Following our wedding day, we have received texts from our guests about how they haven’t danced that much in a long time and complimenting how awesome our DJ was. You can’t go wrong booking Sounds Abound!

Ray Jones was very professional and on point!! Dj Ray knew just what to play and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. I will Highly recommend Ray for any event that needs a good DJ.

Excellent job! He provided the best music which set the tone for the entire reception! He is the best so if you want the best....go with Ray Jones!

If we could, we would give Ray Jones 10 stars for his performance at our wedding. Ray was phenomenal during the entire planning process and even more phenomenal at our ceremony and reception. He was very patient and understanding and really took the time to play everything that was requested for our 07/09/2022 event to get our guests outta their seats. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests regarding Mr. Jones. If you are looking for an awesome DJ for your event, look no further, Mr. Jones is your person!

Ray is very organized and professional. He takes the time to determine what your needs are and then he DELIVERS with confidence, poise and grace with a lotta party sprinkled on top! No matter what your musical preferences... he will turn your party out!

Ray Jones kept our guests entertained, helped make sure the reception flowed how it was supposed to, and honored every music request we made!

Gary Hipperson was a fantastic Dj!! He was kind and helped keep the whole evening on track. He was especially helpful with coordinating with other vendors during the evening and updating us on ideal times to greet guests. Great company and better DJ with Gary!

Our DJ Keith was amazing. He was organized and professional including his smooth DJ voice. Any idea or song we had he was able to provide instantly, even our Game of Thrones introduction. He also kept the dance floor packed all night with all age groups. The evening started with Classical cocktail music and ended with Eminem. I highly recommend Keith from Sounds Abound!

Sounds Abound was recommended to us by our venue, The Haight, and we are so glad we chose them. From start to finish, it has been a breeze working with Sounds Abound... everything from our initial call and setup, using the Client Planner, selecting our DJ, the week of the wedding call, to the actual wedding day... it was all perfect and smooth sailing. We absolutely LOVED having Tony Ho as our DJ. He is so fun & bubbly, easy to work with and just makes you want to dance and have a great time! He helped us stick to our timeline, did a great job with all of the introductions and announcements and stuck to a lot of our requested songs/playlists! We are very grateful to Tony & Sounds Abound for such a wonderful experience and we 100% recommend them for your wedding!

Matt was an amazing DJ!! Harry Caray's recommended Sounds Abound and we could not be any happier. We really appreciated how great they communicated with us and our coordinator. On the wedding night Matt did all of the announcements perfectly and had everyone out dancing until the last song. Our guests still talk about how great the music was! Highly recommend!

Sounds Abound has been absolutely amazing from the start of our wedding to the finish. Getting set up with this vendor was super easy and communication along the way made it entirely carefree. We had Keith as our DJ and he kept the dance floor absolutely jam packed the entire time. He has the voice of Morgan Freeman and the humor of Adam Sandler. I don’t think there’s another company on this earth that could’ve made our wedding more impressive than the team at Sounds Abound. Recommend them highly, 11/10!

Brian was such an awesome DJ!! The music was exactly what we wanted, and he made sure to check in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was going smoothly and to make sure we didn’t have any more requests. Sounds Abound was easy to work with from the beginning and very responsive to emails/any questions we had. Would absolutely recommend them!

Geoff DJ'd our wedding at Two Brothers Roundhouse on Saturday June 11, and I still cannot stop thinking about how perfect of a day it was! Sounds Abound is an amazing company to work with! I requested a special "mash up" of songs for a surprise mother-daughter dance, and Tony Ho gave up a lot of his time to make this for us. The day of, there was risk of rain at the time of our outdoor ceremony, but Geoff worked with our day of coordinators and was able to set up the sound system for us to have a perfect ceremony. Every single guest was surprised by our mother daughter dance, and it was the highlight for many of the guests. The reception was a blast, and people couldn't leave the dance floor all night (including me!). The photo booth was also a major hit! I was happy to have a simple photo booth (no tacky decorations, etc.), and everyone loved it! I love looking back at all the photos, as well! I have so many great memories from that night, and I thank Geoff, Tony and Sounds Abound for making it happen.

Tony's sizzle reel video on his website is true to life - he's dynamic, professional, and very pleasant and easy to work with!

Where to even begin! Our wedding was on 6-18-22 and we were so lucky to get Brian as our DJ. He was so easy to talk to prior to the wedding and understood all the requests we had and had some ideas to share with us as well.
He knew we wanted a lot of 80s and 90s music, and he delivered that perfectly. We also had a lot of kids and teenagers at the wedding, and he knew how to get them involved and took their requests, like we asked him to do. We had compliments on the music all night long from so many guests. The dance floor was always busy, even for our smaller wedding.
I cannot thank Brian and Sounds Abound enough for making our wedding reception so much fun.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about sounds abound. We had SUCH an amazing day with the help of your team! I loved seeing all the guests having fun in the photo booth. The backdrop and design of the photos was so perfect!! The attendants were so nice!

John was an awesome DJ! He knew how to keep the party going and made sure to play all of our favorite songs. Thank you for an amazing evening!

We were very happy with Sounds Abound. They are very easy to work with and make the whole process easy. Craig Mohler did a great job and kept the whole party happy and dancing. His communication skills are second to none.

Matt is the best DJ! He was so on top of executing the timeline of our wedding, we barely had to do a thing! He played all our favorite songs, as well as not playing our favorites. Before our event, Matt met with me and made sure to get every detail. He also MC’d the whole night as well, making announcements and introductions. He was very friendly and our guests loved his personality, it was like he was a normal guest at our wedding. The pricing was good and I would gladly have Matt DJ for us again!

We wanted to send a thank you for spending your Saturday with us and allowing us to have the BEST day ever. I know your set up started early in the Saturday afternoon, and your efforts did not stop until the end! I admit, I was a bit taken aback by the sudden risk of rain (when it wasn't predicted all weekend or during the day!). I KNOW you worked with our coordinator and David, the officiant, to make the sound system outside work. It ended up being the most perfect ceremony, thank you. The intros and speeches went off without a hitch! (even my mother who gave the most on-par speech for her). Thank you for making our mother daughter dance exactly what I had envisioned. Finally, the dance floor! It is always my favorite part of weddings, and you helped our guests of all ages have something to dance to.

There are so many great memories I have of the dance floor, from Elton John to seeing all my silly girlfriends sing along to Celine Dion. Neighbors said goodbye to me and then I see them dancing 15minutes later, saying they couldn't leave yet because they had to dance to "play that funky music". Also the Schumacher aunts ( health issues/ walkers and all!) got up on the dance floor. Ryans aunt said it was the first time she had seen her husband dance in so many years. Can't forget my 96 year old great aunt dancing in her chair as well.

Thank you for being so organized and professional. We had such a fun day, thanks to you! Hope you can find time to rest between all the weekend summer weddings.

I absolutely loved working with Sounds Abound for my daughter's 18th birthday party at Harry Caray's Banquets, where they are on the preferred vendor list. Their pricing was very affordable! Nicole Newman was my Entertainment Consultant, and she walked me through the whole process. It was made easier by their online planner, that allows you to essentially control the music and details for your event. My daughter and I chose Matt Ammons for our DJ, and he truly exceeded expectations! His voice alone was hypnotic! He masterfully controlled the program timing, all the announcements were spot on, and he played all the music on our list for a packed dance floor! He even found all of our specially requested music. On top of this, Nicole surprised me by joining the event as our Photo Booth attendance and she was just so delightful! Get that photo booth! It's so much fun! All the guests kept telling me how amazing the event was, and we all had the best time! Sounds Abound went above and beyond to make it a night to remember. I would definitely use them again. Hire them! You won't regret it.

Thank you so much for your help making our wedding day special! We appreciate your time and hard work! Thank You!

Brian was absolutely phenomenal. He added to the quality of our wedding with his suggestions of music and organization. We met with him, and he asked pertinent questions concerning our likes and dislikes as well as the make-up of our guests at the reception. He learned the correct pronunciations of the wedding party and made suggestions on how to enhance our wedding. Very importantly we wanted a specific Christian song to be played during the groom/daughter dance. Brian on his own found the song and added it to his repertoire. Our guests complimented us on selecting Sounds Abound. We can't say how pleased we were by following the recommendations of others to select Sounds Abound and now we are recommending others to follow in our shoes and select Sounds Abound for their special occasion.

Jason Yach was the DJ at our wedding. Jason was so great; he kept the crowd dancing the entire night! Throughout the process, Jason was so organized and answered any question we had in such a timely and friendly manner. He made sure our requests were answered and really made us feel so special and heard! Our guests are still talking about the wedding and the “really cool DJ” that played “all the best hits!”

Craig was the DJ for my husband and I’s wedding, and he did an absolutely amazing job! Prior to the wedding, we had a few call meetings and each time, Craig provided so much support and reassurance. He made certain he knew just what my husband and I were after as far as music and the flow of the wedding! Craig was willing to help at any moment. The flow of the wedding was perfect. He made sure to check in with my husband and I throughout the night and played the most perfect music! I had many compliments from guests about the music played. All I can say is THANK YOU! I will recommend Sounds Abound to anyone who is looking for DJ services. Just amazing.

Matt Ammons was an amazing DJ for our wedding, he was professional, personable, and really knew how to read a room. He was passionate about the music that was played and made the reception just that much more of an amazing experience. I highly recommend Matt for future weddings!

We booked Sounds Abound (DJ: Tony Ho) for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier. Tony made the process incredibly easy for us. He used our requests and tastes in music to curtail the wedding playlist. The dancefloor was packed the entire night and he was able to keep people from ages 10-88 boogying all night long.

Importantly, Tony put many personal touches into the day. During speeches the father of the groom and best man mentioned songs and a particular movie reminding them of the couple. Tony had songs queued up tying to both themes. He also tactfully handled requests that were on the do not play list.

We also added the photobooth, which we greatly appreciated. The photos came in the classic printed version, via text, and we got a dropbox folder. This was a huge hit with the guests.

All in all, the experience of Sounds Abound was absolutely incredible. Five stars is not enough to rate how happy we were with Sounds Abound (and we promise they didn't pay us anything to say this)

Tim Y. was the DJ that worked with us for our big day. He was professional and fun to work with! He definitely knows the ins & outs of entertaining large crowds and was able to handle a hectic schedule & any last minute changes to keep the party moving. He was amazing! We would highly recommend him & Elite Sounds for anyone looking for a DJ. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate, Tim! 🙂

Tim was our wedding DJ and an absolute delight to work with. Professional and accommodating to all our requests before and during the event. Great selection of music which had people on the dance floor from start to finish!

Tim did an amazing job! He was timely, very organized and kept us on schedule! Any questions and request I had were promptly taken care of! He was very professional, friendly and easy to communicate with! I would highly recommend him!!

Our DJ Tim was amazing at and during the planning of our wedding! Their team was great at walking us through all of their service options and explaining the benefits of all of them! The client portal was extremely helpful and easy to use. The day of our event went great, there was never a moment that the dance floor was empty!

Tony Ho at Sounds Abound was one of the first vendors I had booked. I have been to 4 weddings (including my own!) where Tony Ho has been the DJ and every single time the weddings are the MOST fun. Tony Ho and Sounds Abound consistently keeps all of the guests, young and old on the dance floor all night long. I think it is safe to say our guests did not want the night to end when they started chanting "one more song!" twice! We even had a shuttle issue that pushed our timeline back and Tony was able to keep our guests entertained and happy while waiting. I could not imagine anyone else doing our wedding. If you want your wedding to be a blast, personable for you, and everyone on the dance floor then Tony Ho and Sounds Abound is for you!!

Tony was AWESOME to work with for our therapeutic day school's prom. He donated his time and went above and beyond with gathering a playlist from all students and coming early with all of his equipment. Such a fun time for students and staff included!

We used Sounds Abound for our wedding and it was by far the best decision we made vendor-wise! Tony Ho was our DJ and he was phenomenal! Sounds Abound was so reasonably priced and were top notch in making our wedding music exactly what we envisioned. Tony was better than ever and we would highly recommend him for ANY event - especially if you want that event to be a very fun dance party. Tony was so great at checking in with us and listened to all of our non-traditional ideas and helped them come to life - from R&B music during dinner to creating the perfect ceremony music for us, making a mashup for my father-daughter dance , and turning our reception into a club he was literally the best part of our wedding. All of our guests comments on how great the music was and how much fun they had dancing - this is all thanks to Tony Ho and Sounds Abound. I am not kidding when I say how grateful we are for Tony and Sounds Abound for making our wedding come to life in the best ways possible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 1000/10!

WOW!!! Tony, you are amazing!! We loved having you as our DJ for our wedding. You are incredible and we feel so lucky to party the night away with you. Everyone was complimenting us on your music, style and overall vibe. This is why we went with you!! You are the best. From the emails, calls, texts, and the special touch after Kellie's speech with a special song from Pitch Perfect... you are AMAZING. You are so good at what you do. We are so thankful we saw you at Laura and Dan's wedding, it was a no brainer to go with you for our wedding. You knocked it out of the park!! We wish we could relive it all over again, it was THE BEST!! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for everything!!

You were such a great part of our day. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and ability to help us throw one heck of a party. You were awesome!

10/10 recommend Sounds Abound. They provide a website that makes it super easy and clear to the DJ and expectations on what we should do. Jason Yach was our selected DJ, and he was AMAZING. He listened to our needs, answered any question we had right away and made sure we were set up for success on our big day. He also was very generous on the day of making sure we were okay, asking about us personally and kept our guest on the dance floor all night! 🙂 Thank you, Jason, and Sounds Abound team!!

We had Tony come out and DJ for our After-Party at our 2022 Derby Party! It is our annual fundraiser and for the past three years we haven't been able to host our event due to COVID-19. So, as things continued to evolve at Hesed House we also knew that our Derby Party had to evolve with it. With that being said, we knew our after-party needed a huge glow up and DJ Tony was able to do just that! We were running on such a lack of time, and to know that he just went with it and kept the vibe going without us even being able to put in our own song requests (lack of time on our part), was so impressive! He was able to give us exactly what we wanted and understood we were busy and just wanted him to do what he did best! Needless to say, DJ Tony will be our go-to for years to come!

Sounds Abound was great from the very beginning to the very end. The client portal was easy to use, and they were quick to answer any questions we had. Now to DJ Tony and his assistant... they were BEYOND amazing. We had people come up to us all night saying how good the music was, and even 3 weeks later, we still have people talking about how awesome the DJs were. You will not be disappointed with Sounds Abound!

I can't say enough good things about Sounds Abound! I would recommend them to everyone for any event needing music! I'm so grateful for this company, they legit made my wedding night the most fun party ever. We were blessed to have Tony Ho as our DJ/MC. He read the room perfectly and played music accordingly, everyone was dancing until the venue closed. The dance floor was PACKED all night long because Tony knew exactly what to play! He was funny, kind, and creative with his ideas. He accommodated our unique requests (e.g., we had a flower "man" do a dance & Tony was more than happy to work with the song transitions!), and we also had many last minute changes that Tony took care of easy. He got all our names/titles right for our grand entrance and was always checking in to make sure things went right (for example, our wedding song has multiple versions & he double checked which one I wanted which I appreciated so much). I can't say enough good things! I would recommend Sounds Abound to everyone in the area! I will post photos of the cool uplighting too once our professional photos come in (I recommend the uplighting wholeheartedly! It made the room pop!). Also the online portal is easy to navigate and makes planning all the songs/order of events much easier!

I highly recommend booking with Sounds Abound; you'll be happy you did!

We had Keith DJ for our wedding day. Let me say, Keith went above and beyond to make sure our day was special & fun.
I’m Arabic, therefore we have plenty of traditions at the reception. Keith went above and beyond to help me find the right music to play for these traditions and took a step further in asking his Arabic DJ friend for assistance. No one left the dance floor. Keith thank you for all your hard work! 10/10 would use you again for our next event and would recommend to those in need of a good DJ.

Keith was an excellent DJ and brought the party alive! We worked with him to create a playlist of songs tailored to our musical tastes spanning various genres and he was able to mix them expertly throughout the evening. He was a wonderful emcee and a delight to have at our wedding!

My husband and I got married at the beginning of April, and our guests are STILL talking about how amazing our DJ was! We had Tony Ho as our DJ, and he got almost every single guest out there on the dance floor. He was super friendly, and great to work with!

Since the beginning of the planning process, sounds abound walked me through everything I needed to know and was SO helpful throughout the entire process! Anytime I had a question or a change, they were so responsive and made the whole process so unbelievably easy! On the day of, we had Matt as our DJ! People are still talking about how personable and awesome his personality was!!! On top of just being amazing and organized, Matt had everyone on the dance floor all night long! I truly did not leave the dance floor from the second he started playing music! Being a bride and planning a wedding should be fun and stress free and Matt and Sounds abound gave me that experience! Definitely book them for your next event!!

DJ Jason Yach was the best! He is very experienced and knows exactly what to do. The dance floor was crowded all night. 🙂 Definitely recommend him & Sounds Abound. You won't regret it. Thank you!!

We hired sounds abound for our wedding. Tony Ho was our DJ. He was absolutely fantastic and kept the dance floor going all night. They provided a perfect experience and customized everything for us. The photo booth was a big hit and having them send us digital copies of every photo was awesome.

Matt Ammons is amazing! A friend of mine had Matt as their DJ 4 years before my wedding and after their wedding, I knew he had to be the DJ at mine! He was so great at getting everyone out on the dance floor and everyone had an awesome time. He was able to rally everyone prior to introductions, I really appreciate that he took the time to make sure he was pronouncing everyone’s name correctly as well, a minor detail but I think the extra care was perfect. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

We recently got married in February and our DJ Keith was absolutely wonderful! He was so on top of everything and knew exactly what to say and do! It was the party of a lifetime. I sent him a Spotify playlist and he went with it and he had everyone out on the dance floor. He played our favorite party song Mo Bamba and everyone still talks about it. 12/10 recommend Keith for your wedding or event!

We cannot express how truly wonderful Tony Ho was as the DJ for our wedding!! He was spot on with the music, organizing things with us and our officiant, he’s a great communicator, but most important he has a FANTASTIC personality. It is almost like he was born to be a DJ! The entire interaction from start to finish could not have been more friendly or professional. We can attest that a DJ can make or break your wedding and if you’re looking for a great person to interact with you should use Tony Ho!!!

TONY HO!!! SIMPLY THE BEST. MY WEDDING WAS PERFECT. I BELIEVE HAVING THE MUSIC IS SO IMPORTANT - TONY DID AN AMAZING JOB FROM MY CEREMONY TO THE RECEPTION. I AM STILL SORE FROM ALL THE DANCING. I APPRECIATE HIS -PROMPTNESS, KINDNESS, ABILITY TO GATHER EVERYONE TOGETHER AND AMAZING ENERGY. I WILL BE LETTING BRIDES TO BE KNOW ABOUT HIM - HE MADE THE WEDDING SOMETHING ILL NEVER FORGET! THANK YOU!!

Tony Ho was incredibly easy to work with and very professional. He made the music selection process effortless. Tony did an excellent job on reading our guests and keeping the dance floor full while keeping to our preferred music style and selections. Our guests had a blast dancing and nothing but great things to say thanks to our AMAZING DJ Tony Ho!

Tony Ho was the best DJ we could have asked for! We were in contact before our wedding in January and he really got to know Anthony and I! He played the best music, and the dance floor was packed all night! Would highly recommend Tony and Sounds Abound!

I can’t thank Sounds Abound enough for the spectacular and truly outstanding DJ and photo booth services they provided at our wedding. Tony Ho is the absolute MAN playing all the jammie jams the entire night and even RAPPING to some 90’s hip hop/R&B….needless to say the crowd went nuts for it! Tony made our day so special from an epic playlist throughout cocktail hour to pumping up the beat during open dancing - my calves were sore for at least two days following from not leaving that dance floor. Thank you Tony for a night Jason and I will never forget! If you don’t have Tony Ho as your DJ, you’re really missing out.

We absolutely adore Sounds Abound! Incredible folks to work with, fantastic advice and support, lots of contact and comfort in the lead up, DJ recommended especially for us, a video call ahead of the event, and a fantastic evening! So professional, gracious, and willing to work with our photographer and guests to play a special video of our ceremony during the reception. Thank you so much Sounds Abound!

Tony Ho was our DJ for our wedding. We have nothing but good things to say about him! We chose him because he was the DJ for my brothers wedding 2 years ago and his wedding was so much fun. He knows exactly what music to play to make a wedding fun. We didn't want the typical music that is played at every wedding. We wanted our wedding to feel like one big party and that is what he gave us. People danced the entire night. The planning process was also so easy. We were able to fill everything out online for what songs we wanted. I've been to many weddings in the past few years and I can honestly say out of all the djs we have heard at other weddings he is definitely my favorite and I would recommend him to everyone!

Tony Ho with Sounds Abound was absolutely amazing! After having to postpone our reception twice with the pandemic, Tony and the team were able to accommodate us and answer all of our questions. At our reception Tony blew all of our expectations out of the water! I had so many people come up to me to complement our DJ choice and ask how we found him (thanks to the Knot). Tony made sure to check in with us throughout the night and helped us stay on track throughout with introductions and announcements. We had an absolute BLAST as well as everyone that attended. We also rented the photo/social booth which I will tell everyone is SO WORTH IT! It was so fun getting all of the photos/gifs after to see everyone having fun. We also had people who couldn't attend check the link and see the party unfold which was a nice idea. Sounds Abound and Tony Ho specifically deserve all the stars. Thank you for such a wonderful night to celebrate.

Sounds Abound was GREAT! They were professional, friendly, and flexible. Our DJ Matt was so helpful on the day of our wedding. He kept the party going and seemed to know exactly what I wanted to hear! Our photo booth was a hit. Sounds Abound brought the party!

Sounds Abound was amazing on our wedding day! Tony Ho was our DJ and we couldn’t be happier with our choice!! Communication was simple, and he helped to plan and organize all the major points of the day with us ahead of time. He was totally amazing with taking the lead of the crowd in playing songs and was super detail oriented in playing music that we didn’t necessarily mention but LOVE (for example music/songs were referenced in speeches and instantly that music was played during dinner! It was such a great surprise). Tony was a fun guy with a great personality that kept the party going. We didn’t want it to end! Thanks Tony!!

I had Keith for our great! and he was great! He made sure we were being taken care of and he made sure we loved the music that he was playing, and most importantly he made sure everyone was on the dance floor all night long! He was such a great DJ and I would use him again for sure.

Tony Ho is the man, the most incredible DJ we have ever worked with or experienced at an event. We were referred to Sounds Abound by a friend and could not be happier that we crossed paths with Tony. Our 11/27/21 wedding was an absolute blast thanks to him. We still have guests telling us they’ve never danced so much, had so much fun, and have seen a dance floor packed literally all night at a wedding. Beyond giving us the party of a lifetime, he was incredible to work with leading up until the date - so calm, cool, and collected which was a breath of fresh air in the midst of heavy planning. Highly, highly recommend Tony for any event you’re planning!

Our wedding was magical and Tony from Sounds Abound had a lot to do with that…He was able to read the crowd at every moment and adjust accordingly… Super accommodating, super responsive, so easy to work with… I cannot recommend him enough and my standards are quite high. He was wonderful with the venue staff as well as all of our guests! Beyond professional from start to finish. I highly recommend sounds abound!!

We chose Sounds Abound company for our DJ for our wedding at the Haight on Dec 17 this year. It was the best decision we could have made. Not only was everything perfect Matt set the fun wild mood of our family and friends. Matt was so personable and perfect for our special day. He had been to the Haight for multiple weddings before so he was also familiar with setup and all that. We had a great time. We also used him for my husbands sisters wedding years back. It was a great time. Sounds Abound was a perfect choice. Thank you for making our special day as amazing as we hoped!

Tony Ho was fantastic! We didn’t originally know about Sounds Abound or Tony Ho, however through some unfortunate circumstances, we had to hire a new DJ. Once we saw the amazing reviews on both Sounds Abound and Tony, we knew we had to choose them. Tony was fantastic. We talked to him ahead of the date to give him an idea of what we were looking for. He hit the nail on the head. The dance floor was filled all night, and loads of people mentioned our amazing DJ

Our DJ was Tony Ho! He was fantastic. We had several compliments on how great he was following the event. We were apprehensive since it was only a wedding of 30 people, but it worked out great. We had a few different music files that were created for the event and he kept track of them and helped time the event perfectly. It was such a fun event and many people stayed on the dance floor the whole night! Thanks Tony!

Craig and his daughter Jenna were amazing and made our night so special. Craig was so easy to work with, listened to our music preferences and played exactly what we wanted. We had lots of compliments on the music!

Mike M did an absolutely amazing job in our wedding. Clearly knew what he was doing but made it a fun and unique experience for us and was extremely flexible and able to adapt on the fly. 10/10 would hire again

We couldn’t be more impressed with Sounds Abound Entertainment. From the moment we were considering using Sounds Abound Entertainment, we were impressed with the communication and ease of the process. They answered all questions for us, made themselves available by phone, email, or text message, and even set aside time for us to ask any questions, get familiar with their online user platform. We got lucky and were able to book Tony Ho for our wedding. He was INCREDIBLE! Again, he was quick to respond to any questions we had and listened to what we had envisioned for our wedding. He provided great suggestions for us, sent us drafts/a final proof of the photobooth pictures, and he was a great communicator. On the day of our wedding, he was there to set everything up even before we even arrived so he could talk to the venue about final details and make sure everything was perfect for us. We had a few special requests for him-- we had a friend singing our first song and a few special shoutouts we wanted to make sure happened at our wedding. He made everything happen and more. He was truly the BEST DJ- went with the flow but also kept everything moving according to plan. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we look forward to recommending Tony to all of our family and friends. Thank you so much for everything, Tony!

DJ Tony Ho came to us very highly recommended, and he did not disappoint. We had a smaller guest list than the average wedding and he kept people on the dance floor all the way until the last song. He was an incredible host for the night and my daughter (the bride) and groom had the time of their lives. I will absolutely hire Tony again for any events I plan and recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and experienced DJ!

Gregg was the DJ at our wedding, and he was fantastic! He was so thoughtful and organized in getting to know our taste in music and how we wanted the evening to flow - and he nailed it. The dance floor turnout was excellent, and everyone had a blast. We received compliments from our 20-30 age guests, all the way up to my 95-year-old great aunt! We would absolutely recommend Gregg and Sounds Abound!

Gary was the greatest DJ we could have asked for! Almost every single person at our wedding asked where and how we found him. Gary has the most amazing personality and was perfect at keeping the party going all night. He really made sure to play the songs we wanted and knew how to keep everyone on the dance floor. The majority of our guests never left the dance floor, which is exactly what we had hoped for! I will be recommending Gary and Sounds Abound to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

Geoffrey was a terrific DJ. He played the music we requested and even played requests by our guests. I have heard of other vendors not taking requests, so I was glad when Sounds Abound does that. Geoffrey also played songs in a certain order that my husband specifically requested.

Geoffrey also gave us a bit longer between dinner and the first dance so we could finish our meal since we walked around to thank everyone for coming during the dinner part of the reception.

We had a live performance, or our first song and Geoffrey was accommodating for that special time.

We had a special song request for my father-in-law that everyone stopped to watch him and my husband dance. It was one of the highlights of the night.

We did postpone our wedding due to the pandemic and had to make adjustments to our original plans and Geoffrey, as well as the Sounds Abound team, were flexible with the changes.

Sounds Abound are true professionals, easy to work with and offer great tools to help customize your special day! Planning a large event can be overwhelming, but they were the least of my worries- making working with them enjoyable and stress free.

DJ Ray Jones was a true delight! An absolute gem and professional to work with, DJ Ray went above and beyond my expectations. He did everything to ensure my mother surprise (51st) party was a huge success - he even connected with my dad on the side to coordinate a remake of their first dance from their wedding 30 YEARS AGO! HOW SWEET.

Couldn’t be happier having him as our DJ for the evening. Highly recommend!

Michael Lang was the BEST DJ I have ever danced too! He kept the dance floor happy for the whole time. Though we are about one month after our wedding date, we are still getting comments about his exceptional talent. He was keen to switch things up if guests were not dancing/didn't know the current song. In addition, he was so good at transitioning songs that it made it feel like one long song. We also got the photobooth, and Tony and his team with the photobooth were so easy to work with and the photos are phenomenal! The best part was you could either print or text the photos to yourself, so my guests really loved that aspect!

Tony Ho was the best DJ we could have ever asked for! Communication was absolutely stellar, and he made sure everything went smoothly. From discussing our exact music tastes to going over correct pronunciation of everyone's names to ensuring the timeline for the night was followed, it made everything so much easier and less stressful during both our ceremony and reception. Sounds Abound was probably our best vendor of the entire night. Please hire them, you won't regret it!

Jason Yach was absolutely amazing at our wedding! The DJ is one of the most important parts of your reception and Jason did not disappoint. During our pre event phone call he listened to our requests and helped us plan and brought up things we didn’t even think about for our reception. He was very attentive during our reception and very flexible with timing of events. The music was great and the dance floor was packed the entire night. The sounds website is so easy to use as well. Adding songs to your must playlist as well as the introductions and first dance songs were very organized and easy to add. Finally, Jason and sounds abound were amazing and I definitely recommend for any occasion!

Jason was amazing through and through. Sounds Abound had been the DJ at a family members wedding and I knew right away that I needed them for my wedding. They were attentive to the point that if guests were leaving the dance floor, the DJ would transition the song right away to bring guests back in. So many of our guests have said they haven't danced that long in years! Jason played the perfect mix of music for both the younger and older crowd. He listened to every one of our needs and paid special attention to ensure he introduced our complex family correctly. I will be recommending Sounds Abound for years to come and hope to be a guest at another wedding they are apart of. Thank you so much!

Jason was the best! He helped us plan out the evening and had some great recommendations for how to structure the reception. The music was perfect and everything went very smoothly. All the guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed the DJ. I would recommend Jason and Sounds Abound to anyone who is looking for their wedding DJ.

We are so happy that we booked Sounds Abound for our special day! We had Jason Yach as our DJ and he helped to make it a smooth process. The online planning tool is so easy to work with and gave great music suggestions that helped keep our dance floor packed all night. Jason was extremely personable and gave us great recommendations to make the night perfect. He was very professional and kept the night moving as we requested the speeches be done throughout dinner. We are so glad we chose Sounds Abound and would recommend Jason to all our family and friends!

Great DJ! Tony Ho was amazing he had people on the dance floor all night! Great company that gives you a great database of songs to choose from! A lot of guest said that this is the best DJ they have seen!!

Tony was our DJ from Sounds Abound for my 30th Birthday. He was exceptional and extremely kind. My husband and I had a 1920’s themed party, and he was extremely helpful in creating the music to make the party a success. He helped create a playlist that ensured everyone was dancing all night long. We are extremely grateful for his insight, professionalism, and expertise. He knew how to ensure everyone had a fabulous time. All of my friends and family are still raving about the party. Thank you to Tony and Sounds Abound for helping make this the best 30th Birthday Party!

We do not have enough great things to say about our experience with Sounds Abound and Gregg specifically. From the moment we inquired to the very end, the office was extremely responsive and helpful anytime we needed them. Their online planning tool made the whole process extremely easy, by the time we had our final meeting with Gregg he had all the information and song choices. The night of the event Gregg was very professional and rolled with all the changes I threw at him. He kept the dance floor packed all night and made sure to listen to our likes and dislikes. You will not regret booking Sounds Abound for your wedding!!

We had Keith Talaga as our wedding DJ this past weekend. He was so easy to work with and was able to play a lot of songs we had that weren't initially on the Sounds Abounds website. I was a bit of a diva on the day of and wanted things to move quickly and he kept us on schedule and had great suggestions for the reception timeline. Our dance floor was PACKED from beginning to end and we received a lot of compliments on how amazing he was. I would definitely recommend him and the company Sounds Abounds for any event.

First of all, we had a very last minute DJ cancellation and honestly I'm so glad we found Sounds Abound in our mad scramble for a DJ. Funnily enough, we found them because they were my parents' wedding DJ 20-something years ago. They were great then and they're great now.

Michael Lang was truly amazing on our wedding night! We have a very diverse taste in music (as my husband says, 1920 all the way to 2020 music). He was able to cater to our music taste, throwing in a ton of songs from our high school years to our family's country faves to wedding classics in a way that kept all of our family and friends of all ages dancing all night.

Not only that, but Michael was excited about our wedding and excited to learn about us as a couple. He made every part of the process seamless. He even went above and beyond filming a few clips of our reception and sent us a video that we will cherish forever.

Highly recommend! We hired Sounds Abound and chose DJ Ray Jones for our big day and we could not be happier that we did. Ray is very friendly, personable, professional, and knows how to create a really fun atmosphere. Everyone at our wedding had nothing but amazing things to say about him. The platform they use is very organized for song choices and Ray crushed it. Overall, I would highly recommend working with Sounds Abound and specifically, DJ Ray Jones!

My now husband Dan and I were referred to Tony by a friend who used to work for Sounds Abound. We absolutely could not be happier - working with Tony was a dream. He’s so kind and has great energy, had a call with us to understand our vision. As serious music lovers, we were really particular about what was played, and he was willing to accommodate all of our requests. Everyone at the wedding loved him and gave so many compliments on the music, and the wedding itself was a blast. We danced all night, there wasn’t a single point where the dance floor was empty. Thank you so much for everything, Tony Ho!

We had such a great experience with Sounds Abound. Geoff was our DJ and was so amazing. Our dance floor was packed all night and everyone commented on how great the music and dancing was. I would highly recommend Sounds Abound and Geoff!

Hi Wedding Wire Community! My husband & I used Tony Ho from Sounds Abound for our wedding and we could not have been happier. I came to Tony with a request prior to the wedding to play a video during our ceremony. Tony not only reassured me he would make it happen, but he also did not charge us for using his projector! You want this guy for your big day.

Geoff Rafferty did a great job! We had so many compliments from our guests

I want to thank our DJ Mike for an excellent job. Mike did a great job as the emcee during the reception. I also hired them for the ceremony and Mike even went to our rehearsal and worked with us during the practice. I highly recommend Sounds Abound and our DJ Mike who made the night fun and got us all dancing all night long up to the last song of the night. We are very pleased with his professionalism and very easy to work with.

From start to finish Sounds Abound was hands down the best DJ company to work with. They walked you through all their options and how to work their client portal. They sent us links to the DJ's so we could see some of their work in action in order to pick the best one for our wedding. Matt did a terrific job and I am so glad we picked him. He helped keep the night flowing and the energy going. Seriously the best DJ and best company for your event!

Sounds Abound and more specifically Matt Ammons were fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their online planning tool is easy to use and helpful to organize all your music needs for the big day. Matt was fun, energetic, and great to work with. He knew how to keep the dance floor full by playing to the crowd we had along with mixing in our favorites. Matt even went so far to timing our walk in music perfectly without us even telling him. I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound for any DJ needs, and especially Matt!

We highly recommend Sounds Abound as wedding DJs! They were easy to work with from start to finish and Kyle Overbey played great music all night. The dance floor was always full, which was so cool to see.

Highly recommended! We loved working with sounds abound, and our DJ Ray. They helped us stay organized with song selections, and were very professional. On the big day, we really enjoyed the party with our DJ. He arrived in classy attire, and was professional and incredibly friendly. He kicked off the party, and kept it going until last call. We really wanted a DJ that wasn't going to be on the mic the entire night talking, but rather just jamming and having fun with us. Ray did just that, but make no mistake when he was on the mic doing introductions and keeping the night organized, he has an awesome voice. We had a blast, and would highly recommend this company and Ray.

10/10 would recommend! We had Craig and from the start he was amazing. We had to postpone our wedding twice and Craig was great throughout the process. He communicated very well and met with us a few times before the wedding and just got our vibe! Throughout our reception he constantly communicated with us, made sure we knew what was coming next, and kept the party going all night! Craig was outstanding and really listened to what we wanted but still gave us insight on how to make the reception go as best as possible! Definitely would recommend this company and Craig to anyone!

We had DJ Gary and his assistant at our wedding and they did a fantastic job! Gary was warm and fun and got it all right from start to finish. Our ceremony music was on point, the cocktail hour was great, and then he kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We talked with Gary a few days before the wedding and he was very thorough with all the right questions and details to make our day go smoothly. Thanks, Gary!

Tony Ho was the DJ for our big day and he was absolutely fantastic. I can't say enough about comfortable, easy, and fun he made everything. Our prep meeting was wonderful and he eased any nerves we had. The dance floor stayed active all night and he was a tremendous MC. We received several compliments from guests about his energy and sense of humor. Thank you Tony!

We had an amazing experience from start to finish with Sounds Abound! We knew of them from other weddings we had attended and they certainly did not disappoint for our own wedding! Tony Ho is a fantastic DJ, he kept the dance floor hopping all night and made sure everything moved on time. He also did an amazing job for our outdoor ceremony. We even got the honor of a Tony Ho rap towards the end of the evening! Our guests were raving about how great of a DJ we had in Tony Ho! Additionally, our guests LOVED the photo booth (social booth) and had so much fun taking photos, gifs, and boomerangs! This evening will never be forgotten for us and we highly recommend Tony Ho/Sounds Abound to anyone looking to have the most memorable wedding or event ever!

We had the best reception ever because of Sounds Abound!! We used Tony Ho for our wedding and he was AMAZING! We told Tony we wanted a party, and he went above and beyond to give it to us! Our guests and family are still talking about how amazing Tony is! We highly recommend him to anyone who wants the wedding everyone will remember! Not to mention we share the same favorite song— September! Thank you again!!!

From the start to end communication was fantastic!!! All the team are very helpful and professional!!! Our Dj Tony followed all the schedule for our special day! People dance all night! We highly recommend It!
Highly recommend dj Tony Coix!

Had the best dance floor ever. The music was perfect and the portal they have you use makes to so easy to organize all your songs. Tony Ho was the mvp of the wedding and would recommend him 10 times over

So happy we chose sounds abound and Kyle to be our DJ for our wedding!! Everyone was on the dance floor all night, he played so many songs that everyone loved! If we need a DJ again for an event we will definitely ask Kyle again!!! The photo booth was also amazing!! We highly recommend this company, they were truly a breeze to work with!!

Ray was extremely responsive over email and made sure to follow up with me multiple times to make sure all was set for our party. He connected directly with the venue, which was a huge help to me, and was so fun throughout the night!! Our guests had a blast dancing to his music all night.
Thank you so much Ray, for making our night so special!!

Craig was absolutely amazing! He kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. He checked in with us many times to make sure everything was how we wanted. Highly recommend sounds about and Craig!

Thank you so much to Greg for being an incredible DJ. Communication with him was seamless! He was honestly the easiest vendor to work with. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and he accepted our new date right away. Would 100% recommend this company!

Our wedding as we had imagined got kiboshed by COVID. Our party got pushed back a year from August 2020 to August 2021. By that time, we had already had a small ceremony and a kid! We still had the venue and DJ picked out, so we decided to make the best of prior arrangements to do a Sunday afternoon reception.

I gave Tony Ho an outline of ideas I had, and just let him go to work. He was able to adapt and host perfectly. It was something I didn't have to worry about and brought a lot of energy to the party. Definitely a worthwhile option if you are looking for an MC that can handle anything from quiet moments to rowdy raves.

Thank you Greg for such a wonderful evening!!! You made our night soooo special! For a couple that doesn't dance, we actually danced several times and had a blast! Our guests loved the music and we were grateful for you keeping us on track but still being flexible. Everything was perfect from the ceremony through cocktail hour and the reception. You honored our weird requests to play alternative, almost had to compete with a bagpiper and a music festival (whew!), and dealt with our crazy drunk relatives!! Sincerely, thank you! we also lived the photo booth and got numerous compliments on it! Everyone thought it was soooo fun! If you're thinking about it- the social booth is the way to go! They customized a frame to our wedding theme so guests would see this when printed or sent to their phones! We recieve all the digital copies as well! So cool!

One of our main goals for our reception was that the dance floor was never empty. Matt made sure that was the case. Once your reception starts, it is hard to keep an eye on the clock to make sure you stay on schedule. Matt was great at keeping us on track so that way we had plenty of time for dancing. Our day, like many, was affected by COVID. Because of this, we changed our plans for the day many times and Sounds Abound was always able to accommodate them even when we had to postpone the date by over 6 months. Also, Sounds Abound uses an online portal which makes planning songs for your ceremony and reception so easy. We cannot recommend Sounds Abound enough!

We have nothing but good things to say about working with Sounds Abound and their staff. We absolutely loved our DJ’s, Matt and Tony for our wedding. The music was awesome and everyone had so much fun! They made everything seamless and exactly as planned. We had to postpone our wedding date multiple times due to Covid-19. Other than our wedding venue, this vendor was the most understanding, empathetic, and supportive team we could have asked for. My husband and I thank you so much for everything!

Kyle was amazing.  He kept the party going and people on the dance floor all night long at our farm wedding last weekend.  He easily rolled with the punches when we last second wanted to change something.

On the night of the rehearsal, Kyle took charge when literally none of us had an idea of what to do.  He gave us options, and made everything SO easy for us.

On the night of the wedding he was amazingly able to combine my love of pop music, my husband’s love of country, my daughters love of EDM music, and the crowd’s love of 80’s dance hits, and somehow mash it so that everyone was happy.

He even endured my super bossy sister who just demanded song after song after song.  He had people dancing all night long and the floor was never empty. I’ve never seen somebody who can read a crowd so well.

I’ve had at least 2 dozen people tell me how much fun they had and that Kyle was the best DJ they’d ever experienced.  He was full of energy all night.

You can tell he loves his job, loves the music and loves to see people having a great time.  If you need an amazing, talented, DJ, Kyle would be a great choice.  He was 100% a huge part of why our reception was so successful.

We worked with Matt Ammons through Sounds Abound and he did an excellent job as our DJ. The dance floor was packed, he did a great job announcing our wedding party, and played a wonderful variety of music. We also rented a photobooth through Sounds abound which was a lot of fun for our guests. We can't recommend this service enough!

We used sounds about for my sister's wedding back in 2016 and loved working with them so much we booked them for my wedding this year (2021)! They are so easy to work with and make the entire planning process so simple! They were in contact with us multiple times within the months leading up to our big day and worked directly with our venue coordinator to get the timeline for the day! Their online planning portal also makes it so simple to choose music for the reception! Our DJ, Keith, was AMAZING! There was never a point during the evening when the dance floor was empty. By the end of the night our friends nicknamed him "Pitbull" and we had so many compliments from our guests on the music. If you want to have a full dance floor all night, Sounds Abound is the way to go!

My husband and I just loved having David from Sounds Abound DJ our wedding. Our guests loved him as well. David was so helpful with the music Selection he even made some good suggestions too. We had a good mix of music for all ages, listening to dancing. You can’t go wrong with sounds abound DJ’s I would highly recommend them.

We had Tony Ho as our wedding DJ and he CRUSHED it. We had to switch our DJ at the last minute due to COVID and our previous DJ going out of business. He stepped up with such short notice and could not have done a better job. I mean everyone was out on the dance floor for 4 hours straight and we had multiple people tell us that it was the best music they’ve heard at a wedding. He really knows how to read the room and tailor the songs to keep people on the dance floor. He was also great at the intros, getting everyone pumped up and clapping. I will be recommending him to all of my friends who get married because music can make or break a wedding, and he will turn your wedding into a dance party. Thank you so much, Tony!

Sounds Abound was fantastic. The dance floor was packed and people keep telling me how they danced so much at our wedding that they were sore the next day. Jason was our DJ and absolutely crushed it! Took complete control and ownership of the dance floor, the energy, and the crowd. Knew exactly which songs to play to keep the hype going. Also, such a great down-to-earth laidback guy who listens and genuinely wants to make your day special. Definitely recommend Sounds Abound.

Sounds abound was amazing to work with! We had run into a few issues with DJs trying to plan our wedding during the peak of covid and sounds abound was there to save the day! We had Geoff as our DJ. He listened to our very specific requests and had great energy the whole night! He truly made our wedding the dance party of the year! I would highly recommend!

Working in several different locations throughout the evening, Michael Lang set the mood for everything from our ceremony, to our happy hour, and eventually our reception! He kept the night moving with ease and there was never a dull moment. We highly recommend Michael and services from Sounds Abound as everyone was very pleasant to work with and plan our special day with.

Ray was awesome to work with for our wedding celebration party. He was communicative and many people commented on how great the music was. Thank you to Ray for being so great!
Also after postponing for covid in 2020, Sounds Abound made it incredibly easy to reschedule our event.

Tony Ho helped make our big day even better! He was very nice and easy to communicate with. A couple of days before the wedding I started to get more and more nervous about how everything was going to run because of course every bride wants it to be perfect. I was sending multiple emails to Tony Ho to be sure everything was going to go as planned and he was so quick to respond with emails or a phone call. His confidence really helped me relax a bit in the days leading up to the wedding. He was very professional, easy going, and flexible. If we needed an announcement, he was quick to act. If we requested a certain song that wasn’t on our playlist, he found it and played it. He kept everyone on the dance floor and was a great overall entertainer from the beginning with the introductions to the closing song. He was so much fun and we could not have asked for a better DJ to take over a huge part of our big day! Everyone had a blast and we honestly can’t think of a single thing that went wrong and we think it’s partly because we had an awesome DJ!

We had Jason as our DJ and he did an awesome job! We had some last minute adjustments and scheduling changes that needed to be made and he was really flexible and rolled with it to make it an awesome time. He played all my favorite songs and created an awesome playlist for the reception. All the guests really loved the music and it kept everyone on the dance floor past midnight. I definitely would recommend to everyone, cannot say enough positive things about him!

We had the pleasure of work with Jason for our reception a few weeks ago. Jason was fantastic to work with. He was so organized which we were so happy about. We have had the opportunity to be at other weddings where Jason has DJ'd and he was great and that’s why we chose him to be our DJ for our wedding. We received a ton of compliments on his music choices and how he kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. We highly recommend Jason for your wedding. You will not be disappointed!

Geoff,
You're the man! We appreciate you so much for making our day so special and for putting up with some of our crazy requests.
Thanks for the memories.

We loved working with Sounds Abound! They were within our price range and really delivered. They were super personable and allowed flexibility even with our date change due to COVID. Geoff did an amazing solo job. He was supposed to have an assistant and ended up working by himself. He did an amazing job with organizing everything with intros and speeches, as well as keeping the dance floor jam packed all night!

We had the pleasure of working with Tony Ho a few weekends ago for our ceremony and reception. Tony was extremely proactive and took the time to talk through all the details of the day in advance with us. We were so thrilled with how organized and professional he was. We received so many compliments from guests that we had the best music selection/variety and dance floor. Tony really knows how to assess the energy in the room and ensures that all will have a great time. Do yourself a favor and book Tony for your wedding! We can't recommend him enough!

Craig was an awesome DJ for our wedding! He helped to make sure everything throughout the night ran smoothly and kept everyone entertained and dancing with great music selections. We would 100% recommend Craig and Sounds Abound!

With all of the rescheduling and shifts in our wedding plans due to Covid, Tony was incredible at accommodating all the changes. Tony did an amazing job reading the crowd and adjusting music styles accordingly. He was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Tony!

Tony Ho did a great job! He had to step in at the last second as our first dj ended up being sick. We had some pretty tough names in the wedding party and not one was missed pronounced and Tony only had a couple days to learn them! Thank you again sounds abound for have such great people working for you.

Michael Lang did an amazing job being our DJ. Our guests have been raving about him after our ceremony and reception. He was easy to work with, very responsive and very knowledgeable with the music. Nobody wanted to get off the dance floor! Our guests enjoyed him very much and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ or MC. Thanks so much!

Dj Tony Ho is phenomenal. He was so easy to work with. He took our playlist and ran with it. We received so many compliments from guests of all ages that really enjoyed the music. Tony was so accessible, he really made sure to get all the details down perfectly. He played a really good mix of music and he incorporated a lot of songs from both our Italian and Mexican cultures. Tony killed it. We had such a great time at our reception. Thanks Tony!!!!

Tony Ho at Sounds Abound was the perfect fit for our wedding needs. He was easy to connect with and understood our vision and venue. Tony was accommodating and made sure everything went perfect. We had so much fun and are thankful for his services.

DJ Macie did a fantastic job at our multi-cultural wedding this summer! He was very communicative and personable beforehand and perceptive at reading the crowd in the moment. Would highly recommend him and Sounds Abound!

Kyle was on time, professional, full of energy and made our reception a blast. The Sounds Abound portal made it super easy to add songs to the ‘do not play’ list and we had a meeting with Kyle prior to our event to go over the ‘vibe’ we were looking for and we didn’t have to add too much to our ‘must play list’ because he totally got what we were going for! The dance floor was definitely never empty, and we would absolutely recommend Sounds Abound Kyle. (I don't have a photo of Kyle/the DJ set up yet as we are waiting on more professional photos, so I've uploaded us enjoying the dance floor 🙂

Gregg made the entire process for us extremely easy. We had a few meetings via zoom leading up to the wedding so he could go through everything with us and help to understand the vision we had for our wedding. He was able to provide some advice for us about his experiences, but absolutely helped to make the day ours. We would absolutely use Sounds Abound again!

Sounds Abound exceeded our expectations in every way! We were fortunate enough to work with Craig Mohler and his daughters Jenna and Sarah! Craig helped us think through many questions that had not even crossed our minds to put on the perfect ceremony and reception! He had awesome music suggestions and stepped up to pretty much take over as our coordinator when we needed help running the show the day of our event. Would highly recommend this amazing company! We loved our photo booth as well!

We had the pleasure of having Jason Yach as our DJ for our wedding on 7.17.2021. He was great to work with and extremely professional! He had everyone on the dance floor having an amazing time! We also had a great photo booth attendant who was so fun and energetic! Highly recommend Sounds Abound for any of your major events. We could not be happier with how our wedding night turned out!

Sounds Abound was perfect from our very first phone call. They were so professional, informative, and made our decision a very easy one. We were walked through the online planner and had no problems whatsoever. We had Geoff as our DJ and he was amazing! Before the wedding he offered to meet with us and was always available to answer any questions we had. Our dance floor was packed the entire time and all of our friends and family complimented on the music. Overall, this was one of our best vendor experiences and would recommend Sounds Abound and Geoff to all!

Tony Ho is everything you would want and need in a DJ! During our first meeting, he made us feel extremely comfortable, showing a deep interest in the beginnings of our relationship and the journey leading up to our special day. He was very professional, friendly, and helped make our vision (regardless of any special idea we had that veered from the norm) come to life. His services provided the soundtrack to our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Sounds Abound's online planner was a fantastic offering that helped to ease our Type A personalities and Tony Ho put in every effort to seek out any songs not found in the music library, as well as come to our event prepared with our music taste in mind. He brought a one-of-a-kind energy, actively reading the room and responding to the energy of our guests, and highlighted the important moments through his talents. Tony did a wonderful job keeping us on our pre-discussed timeline and was flexible if anything needed to be adjusted on the fly. He was also collaborative with our other vendors to ensure that our celebration was nothing but perfection. Lastly, Sounds Abound was great to work with in the midst of the pandemic and multiple date changes we faced. We would highly recommend Tony Ho to be your DJ for your special event and would encourage you to highly consider the colored uplighting and Social Booth photobooth add-ons. Our guests were raving about the beauty and extra layer of fun these both brought to the party! You will not regret working with Tony Ho and Sounds Abound!

I'm so glad we hired Sounds Abound for our wedding! Gregg Eisel was our DJ, and he was so wonderful to work with. Our wedding had multiple COVID-related delays, and Sounds Abound was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and willing to move dates with us. We also planned our wedding from across the country, which I thought might be challenging logistically, but Gregg was so easy to work with via email. We got to meet him a few days before the wedding to iron out the details, and he had some great ideas on how to maintain the crowd's attention and keep the flow of the evening going. The day of, Gregg & his assistant were timely, professional, and fun! I never had to wonder if he had the right songs for the ceremony/events, and he was our person on-site who kept the events moving along smoothly. He even wove in some songs during dinner that related to the wedding speeches. We gave him entirely free rein when it came to the dance floor, as we just wanted our guests to have fun, and he delivered! He read the room and kept people happy the whole event. Thanks Gregg for such a memorable wedding!

Finding a DJ was one of the most important things on our list for our wedding. We wanted to work with a company and DJ who would be fun and open to our ideas and help us create the perfect night. We absolutely got that and so much more with Sounds Abound and the best DJ on earth Tony Ho. Our wedding was moved a couple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the whole sounds abound team made all the transitions as easy as possible and were 100% supportive. I was able to text, call, or email with Tony Ho at any point to ask questions or throw out new ideas. He made the night so much fun and memorable and I’m still getting compliments on him and his work. I highly recommend Sounds Abound to anyone who needs a DJ for any event!

Sounds Abound was awesome! The initial phone conversation, the planning, and finally on our actual wedding day, Michael was beyond amazing. He was flexible, accommodating, and extremely easy to work with. My husband said that within the first 5 minutes of speaking with Michael, he knew he was the right fit. He asked all the right questions and had all the right answers. Having an online portal to pick and choose song preferences and ceremony songs was a great addition. Michael coordinated with our contact at the venue, which was super helpful in terms of day-of planning and setup. He made sure to ensure that for the second time we said “I Do” was exactly how we envisioned it would be. Honestly once the music started, I don’t think any of our friends or family (including 5 of our flower girls & even myself) left the dance floor! I cannot thank Michael and Sounds Abound enough for making our day so so much fun and a day everyone will remember!!

We loved working with Sounds Abound during our wedding! They were professional and easy to reach out to with any questions. We absolutely loved working with Tony Ho and he kept everyone on the dance floor during the entire reception! We received so many compliments from our guests on the music selection and we would highly recommend Tony for any type of event!!

We had a lot to worry about on our wedding day, however it is easy to look back now and know that Sounds Abound was not one of them. The company was very professional in their services from the very beginning stages, and helped ease any worries going into event day - unlike some other services you may book and cross your fingers everything works out okay! We had chosen DJ Michael Lang who impressed us with his bio video - and it didn’t hurt that we learned he went to our alma mater as well! We got the full package, which included the uplighting and photobooth. Michael was very helpful in letting us know what to expect, and very communicative from several weeks before the event until the night of. As an emcee, the introductions and speeches went very smoothly. Michael did an excellent job the rest of the night as well helping make it a great wedding! Thank you Michael Lang and Sounds Abound, highly recommend.

Working with Sounds Abound was an amazing experience from start to finish! Part of our wedding planning process was during the start of the pandemic, and they were so flexible and communicative. Our wedding DJ was Tony Ho, and we cannot recommend him enough, he was amazing! He was very communicative prior to the wedding around our preferences and the plan for the big day. And all of our guests were raving about the music! He played a great variety and kept everyone on the dance floor. Also, our venue had a bit of a technical issue during the reception and Tony was so flexible and worked with the venue to problem solve. A phenomenal experience with Tony & Sounds Abound!!

Our DJ , Tony Ho was so amazing, very knowledgeable on what he's doing, very professional and the best!!! Party program was done so smooth and he paid attention to the concerns and requests that we had in mind. Every one was happy.. It's all about praises, compliments and wonderful things to say on how he carried out the debut party. We would like to say thank you so much for the great job and we must say,,,we would always keep you in our minds ( Sounds Abound )for our future family parties and milestones.

Our DJ, Michael Lang, did a phenomenal job at our wedding and helped make it the perfect day. He was extremely communicative from the beginning as we worked through which songs we’d like to have played, and the general theme of music for our wedding. He was able to read the room and play the appropriate music at every moment. If you’re looking for an enthusiast and professional DJ for your wedding, choose Michael Lang.

We absolutely loved having Steve DJ our wedding. He was so wonderful to work with and kept our dance floor going all night!! Sound was perfect and he did great uplighting as well! He was very professional and was just helpful with coordinating anything and everything we needed. We would 100% recommend him!

Amanda and team were AMAZING! Played all different varieties of music, everyone was complimenting them through night. Highly recommend!!!

We used Sounds Abound for our Wedding Reception this Past Friday 7-16-21. We had Tony Ho and he was AMAZING! Our wedding was moved a couple times due to covid and Tony Ho and the sounds abound team made it as stress free as possible. We had so much fun on our reception night and are still getting texts asking who our DJ was. Sounds Abound and Tony Ho will be my DJ recommendation for anyone by far.

When we first saw Sounds Abound, we knew we wanted to hire them. We were at a Wedding Expo of sorts at our venue and the DJ, Geoff, was fun and positive. We knew the S.A. would be a great fit for us.

After the pandemic hit and we had to do a lot of replanting, S.A. were very understand and worked with us as we rescheduled and figured out what we needed for our final receptions.

We did get them to DJ our event and we also included their Social Booth in our package, which was a huge hit with our guests. It comes with images, GIFs, and Boomerang options that guest can then text to themselves. We, as the couple, also get an online gallery web link to view all the fun!

I recommend this company!

Tony Ho is a must have for your reception! He kept our entire wedding on the dance floor the whole night! He was amazing to work with, very responsive, and helpful when picking songs. He did an amazing job!

Tony Ho was our DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception and he was seriously amazing! He came early to set up and had music playing while the bridal party got ready. Throughout the night, he played the music we listed and read the floor perfectly! If Tony is available, don’t wait! Outside of our DJ, the company was very good with communication and their site is easy to navigate and input your songs! Price is very competitive, as well! Bonus…our Best Man made a joke about a song in his speech and Tony was on it and played it immediately following the speech. It was hilarious!

Sounds Abound was one of the easiest, efficient, and professional vendors I've interacted with throughout my wedding planning process. They were always quick to answer messages, arrange phone calls, and pair us with a fantastic DJ. We had our wedding about a month ago, and I still have friends and family reminisce and comment on how much fun they had at our reception. Our DJ captured our party vibe amazingly! We had one small "hiccup" with our first dance song going a little longer than we had originally requested, flustering my groom a teeny bit as we had a choreographed dance... but no one else seemed to notice and it's something we laugh about now. Other than this one error that we've full on embraced, the rest of the night was so freaking fun that I have to give Sounds Abound 5 stars ~ for not only the best night ever but for such an easy-going all-around process.

Sounds abound was very easy to work with. We had Tony Ho and he did a wonderful job getting the dance floor busy and getting the guests excited. He was organized and even did the sound set up at the ceremony for us.

Tony Ho is a must have for your wedding! He is so personable, full of energy and knows how to ignite the party! The dance floor was packed the entire night. Sounds Abound was wonderful and their online system to capture your desires is user friendly. The Social Booth is worth every penny too! It was so much fun to look at the online gallery the morning after our big day! Don’t skip on the Social Booth!

Keith was the DJ at our wedding last week and I can’t say enough wonderful things about him! Aside from being an awesome DJ and playing killer hits - Keith was friendly, organized and so awesome to work with! We met with him a month prior to our wedding to go over our song selections and how the night will be ran. Keith made us feel comfortable and relived! He arrived at our venue 3 hours before cocktail hour started to set up and organize everything. A week before the wedding he called me to touch base. The night of our reception, we received handfuls of comments on how awesome the DJ was at getting the crowd ready to party and how great he did facilitating the entire night. Not to mention - his music was AWESOME! Every guest was on the dance floor enjoying the music the entire night. We cannot recommend Keith and Sounds Abound enough!!! Thank you so so much!!

Gregg was phenomenal! From the info gathering stages to playing all our fav songs to the dance floor light show ! He made an awesome event!
THANKS GREGG!

Tony Ho was our DJ from Sounds Abound, and he was so great to work with! Tony really understood our style of music, and did a great job meeting all of our requests. Tony made sure that our wedding followed the timeline and stayed on track. Tony was kind, professional, and kept the dance floor going the whole night!

Sounds Abound Entertainment exceeded all expectations for our wedding. We used their DJ services, and utilized the photo booth and up lighting services as well. DJ Michael Lang was PHENOMENAL and kept the party going all night long. He did an outstanding job keeping everyone entertained and helping the reception run smoothly. We had multiple guests tell us how "fire" our wedding playlist was. There was never a time when the dance floor wasn't full of guests dancing the night away and having fun. The photo booth was definitely a hit with friends and family. It was a good way to document guests attendance. The staff at Sounds Abound was very responsive and accessible. They were very accommodating to changes that were made during COVID. We could not have asked for a better company and DJ to have used for our wedding reception.

We are so happy that we chose Sounds Abound as our wedding DJ this past June! We booked with TonyHo (he's a rockstar..just look at the online reviews) in 2019 for our original 2020 wedding date which ultimately was postponed until 2021. Throughout the process the entire team was responsive and super thorough in answering any of our questions/rescheduling requests- THANK YOU for taking some of the stress off of our plate!

When our big day finally came around, we were thrilled with Tony and his team! They even wore ties that matched our wedding party! Tony totally got the crowd excited and energized for the festivities and the dance floor was packed, even on a Thursday!

Thank you for being a part of our special day!

Steve Drews did a simply fabulous job for us at our wedding reception on 5/7!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about his upbeat personality, style, communication skills and professionalism throughout the evening! I would recommend Sounds Abound to anyone who wants to have a simply rocking reception for their wedding. Steve's suggestions, organization and contagious fun personality were a gift and my guests and family couldn't be happier with the outcome!!

Tony Ho from Sounds About was great and easy to work with. We inputted all our information into their easy-to-use online system: names of attendants, music we wanted and didn't want, etc. Then we had a call with Tony a few weeks before the big day to make sure he could accommodate our requests and pronounce names, etc. The day-of, Tony was a fantastic MC and really got the crowd excited despite it being a smaller wedding (57 people). Had the best time dancing and loved every moment. He ran everything smoothly and how we wanted. Absolutely recommend.

Sounds Abound, specifically Tony Ho, has done 3 weddings in my family and all of them have been spectacular. Best parts of the night were the dancing at all of them. Sounds Abound provided ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music, making sure the evening flowed from start to finish. Will use them for every DJ’d event ever.

Michael was our DJ for our wedding at Harry Caray’s. Due to The pandemic, we were force to reschedule our wedding multiple times. Sounds abound was extremely easy to work with during this situation. Michael did a great job communicating via email and through phone calls so that our day was exactly what we wanted. Michael was very organized and professional during the ceremony and reception. Now to the important part, the music. It was outstanding! Everyone at the wedding had been on lock down for a year and they were ready to dance. Michael made sure the dance floor was packed all night. Overall, we could not be happier with our experience with Michael and Sounds Abound.

We all were so impressed with Tony’s attention to detail before and during our parent hosted Prom. Lightning and music anyone can do but the spin Tony puts on his creations is Top Notch. The entire time he was interacting with the kids, had a full dance floor the entire night. Literally the kids left at 11pm the time it was over not before, and I feel that had everything to do with the style and environment Tony and Nicole made for this special event. I realize they have kids our kids ages, but it was more than that. They are truly masters in their craft. Best night ever, this kids kept saying.
Thanks so much for being the best at what you do!

We can’t say enough good things about Sounds Abound. From the very beginning they were super easy to work with and very laid back. They were super flexible and understanding when it came to us having to change our date twice due to the pandemic. We enjoyed having Michael Lang and team work our event and we received multiple compliments from guests regarding them. We had a technical difficulty during the ceremony unrelated to Sounds Abound, They made a quick decision and stepped in with some music to ease the tension and silence, it was perfect. Sounds Abound are true professionals.

One of the best decisions that we made while planning our wedding was hiring Sounds Abounds for our DJ service and photobooth. Kyle Overbey did an amazing job! The dance floor was full all night and I had so many compliments from guests about how great the music was. I can't say enough good things about him and the rest of the Sounds Abounds staff. The photobooth was a huge hit at our wedding. People used it all night and loved the pictures! I chose this company because they were recommended to me by a family member and I was not disappointed. I would 100% recommend Sounds Abounds to anyone in need to DJ services for their event!

Tony was legit the BEST DJ. He was very communicative through the entire process, especially with COVID regulations he worked with my husband and I and he truly cared that we had a perfect day. He was very accommodating to our guests as well. If you need a guy to set the party right, Tony is your guy! Tony was professional and kind. He even posted out even on his Instagram! Made the experience very personal!

I hired Sounds Abound Entertainment for my wedding ceremony and reception. The music was incredible throughout. We had a small 50 person pandemic wedding and the dancefloor never seemed anything less than full. We loved working with Geoff and would highly recommend him to everyone!

We had the pleasure of hiring sounds abound for our wedding!!! It was the best decision to have them. Brian K was our DJ and he was amazing at communicating what was going on and when. He was super helpful with giving us suggestions on things like when to start walking out for our reception entrance and other things! He was very articulate and everyone was on the dance floor dancing. We also had uplighting at our venue provided by sounds abound and it was a very nice touch!!!

Thank you again so much! You truly made our special day the best night we could have hoped for!

Thanks for making our night so fun!! Everyone loved the music, you guys were awesome! Thanks for spending your Saturday with us!

Jennifer and I were unlucky in our wedding timing as we had to reschedule our date 3 times due to Covid. Fortunately we had the best crew at Sounds Abound every step of the way. They worked with us for every change and were so supportive and understanding. Tony Ho is an absolute Rockstar! He should be at the top of your list for any wedding or event. He was an absolute professional and had an infectious positive spirit. He kept the party going the whole time and was the best DJ we have seen at any wedding. Please go with Tony Ho and the Sounds Abound crew. You will not be disappointed.

Craig was awesome to work with. We got so many compliments on the music he played. By the end of the night he had everyone out on the dance floor in the pouring rain! We would definitely hire him again for any future events! Thanks Craig!!!

When we started looking for a DJ, we checked out a number of places and their websites. What we really liked about Sounds Abound was that they were the only website we saw that had footage of their DJ's in action at other weddings. We got to see how they interacted with the crowds and the bride and groom, how they introduced the wedding party, and their personality while DJing. The whole Sounds Abound team was very accessible. They all worked together and we were able to talk to a few of their team members throughout our planning. They were all so very helpful. We ended up choosing Keith as our DJ, and did not regret it. He brought creative ideas with our Oscars wedding theme. The music selection he chose went perfect with everything we suggested and captured our taste of music with great flow. The venue that we used even requested their information to use for future events. We also had a photobooth and the attendant was great with helping people use the photobooth. Everything worked great and we had such a great time with Sounds Abound. Would recommend Sounds Abound hands down.

Craig was the DJ for our wedding and he did a fantastic job all around. He was a true professional and ensured that the event moved along without my wife and I worrying about anything. We had multiple meetings with him before the wedding which gave us confidence that the night would go smoothly. The music selection was great and had everyone dancing all night. He communicated with us throughout the reception to ensure that we were on board with certain song selections. All in all, we highly recommend Craig and Sounds Abound for your event!

My husband and I have been married for about 6 weeks and people are still talking about what a great time they had at our wedding! Keith was our main DJ and was so much fun to work with. The online planning tool offered by Sounds Abound was a lot of fun and very helpful. We were able to select tons of our favorite songs from a huge variety of music. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor, which was a concern of ours after having to cut our guest list SO MUCH due to the pandemic. Keith was able to read the room and change things up based on the vibe. Every guest told us that this is the most fun they've ever had at a wedding and we have gotten so many compliments about the quality and wide range of music. Thank you for making our special day such a fun and amazing experience!!

Gregg Eisel from Sounds Abound knew how to keep our guests moving, even during a chilly outdoor reception! We were seriously impressed by how busy the dancfloor was the whole night, and Gregg's team was great at figuring out what the crowd wanted to hear. Our 8 year old niece and older friends didn't stop moving the whole night! Between their online ceremony planner and speaking with Gregg's before the wedding, we were never at a loss for what songs to play or when. So grateful for such a great DJ 🙂

Our wedding was October 3, 2020. Tony Coix was our DJ and he was amazing. He was very easy to work with, early to ensure set up was done prior to the ceremony & the music selection was endless. Tony was very easy to get a hold of and made sure all the small details we requested were taken care of. We highly recommend working with this company, you will not be disappointed.

Tony Ho did a fantastic job DJing our small backyard wedding a few weeks ago! We had to change our wedding plans due to COVID and I was worried about using a DJ instead of the band we originally booked, but Tony and Sounds Abound far exceeded our expectations! Tony did an incredible curating a song list that had people dancing and mingling, including the songs we requested and adding in other songs that complemented it perfectly. He was great at announcing the events, choosing appropriate music, and keeping everyone entertained. He was involved enough without being intrusive , which is exactly what we wanted and allowed for us and our guests to have the best time! He even pivoted to play a song my sister mentioned during her speech, which was such a surprising and special additional that everyone absolutely loved. On top of being great at his job, Tony is also a kind, charismatic guy who brings such great energy and positivity! I cannot recommend Tony and Sounds Abound enough and am so thankful they were a part of our wedding day!

I have to say that Sound Abound has a wonderful team and service. We booked Sound Abound a year in-advance to our wedding date for 10/10/20 and all the DJ's were taken. They where supportive and very helpful with all the changes that COVID presented. We went from the full package with photo booth with 175 guests to the very basic package with only 50 guests. The owner and his son was very helpful. They would call, text message and email us with suggestions, input on COVID wedding experiences and other similar matters. They were quick to respond and answer questions. They took time out of their personal schedules to provide support and deal with over demanding parents. They followed your music profile and if you cannot find a song or want to merge two songs together, Sound Abound can help you with that. Tony Ho was our DJ and he was so sweet and kind. I knew that Tony was a good match because we both love BPM music. All our guests and our wedding coordinator loved the music Tony selected. Even with the restriction of 50 guests due to COVID guideline, everyone danced and enjoyed themselves. Thank you to Kyle Overby and Tony Ho for all your support! Much Thanks, L and M. 10/10/2020 COVID success.

Tony Ho was AMAZING at our backyard wedding! He got the party going right away and everyone commented that he was the best wedding DJ they’ve ever seen. He totally read the vibe on the dance floor and kept the hits coming. I was impressed with how early he got there to set up and how organized he was when it came to our large bridal party and order of events. My fiancé said he’d want to have another wedding just to get to dance the night away again!

Tony
Thank you SO much for all you did to make our special day so memorable! Thank you for your flexibility too and stepping up to help us out at the last minute! We will see you in July when you MC our friend's wedding. Thanks again!

Ray was amazing as our wedding entertainer/dj. From our first meeting he was professional and organized. He took the time to get to know us as a couple so that he could provide us with a personalized experience. Covid hit and we had to change our date, venue, and downsize our wedding. Through it all, Ray was accommodating and reassuring. He is truly a man of his word. On our wedding day he showed up early and ready to work. If you hire him for your event you will not be disappointed. Thanks Ray!

How special was it to have such a nice DJ for our wedding? We got super lucky when we picked DJ Ray. He chose a nice diverse selection of music and he also MC the entire wedding. I am not sure how the wedding would have flowed without him. We plan to rehire him for any other events because he was truly the best.

Ray Jones did my college room mate’s a year earlier and all everyone talked about was how they had a great time and how unique he was as an entertainer with different twist on garter bouquet toss, to the married couples kiss, and the musical chair garter toss.  The music transitions for the multi ethnic audience was superb.

Ray Jones was outstanding at our Wedding from the grand introductions of us coming in on a golf cart, to getting everyone to the terrace in 20 degree weather to see our first dance on the putting green, and keeping the dance floor full with young and old all night long. There is no one better than DJ Ray Jones. Highly recommended!

Dear Tony
Thank you so much for being such a fantastic party of our wedding day. Mark and I really enjoyed working with you throughout the planning (and re-planning) process. We got so many compliments on how kind and professional you were all night long, with more than one person saying they wish they were planning a party just so they could hire you. Thank you so much for seamlessly running our event and for the incredible music choice all night long. We will forever cherish the awesome memories from the dance floor. Thank you again.
Lucy and Mark

Sounds Abound did an absolutely amazing job at my wedding! Despite all of the obstacles and set backs we had with having our wedding during the Coronavirus pandemic, our DJ made it work in the best way possible! Our DJ Keith, as well as everyone else at Sounds Abound, were all incredibly helpful and accommodating both during the planning process as well as the day of the wedding. I received so many compliments from the guests, throughout our entire reception, about how great the music was! Of all the weddings I’ve been in and been to, these guys are hands down the best!

Tony Ho was the amazing DJ for my daughter's wedding last night. It was a small Covid wedding reception and I was concerned that he wouldn't be able to keep the party going there was so few of us. I didn't need to worry Tony did it with ease. He kept all of us dancing all night. It was the best fun. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!

During Covid we did not know what to except. Our DJ Matt accommodated our virtual officiating with his sound system and even though we had a small wedding he got people moving! I had multiple compliments on the dinner music as well as the dance choices and would recommend Sounds Abound and Matt A to ANY wedding. You will be glad you chose them.

Rufus was amazing! Our wedding was postponed and rescheduled 3 times. We were anxious to have the wedding and Rufus put us at ease. He kept the crowd entertained and kept the party going. I loved his attentiveness and he knows how to read the crowd. We recommend Rufus and sounds abound to all of our friends and family. Thank you Rufus!!!

We dealt with the Sounds Abound office at the very beginning and they were an absolute delight to work with. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and he listened to what we wanted. Unfortunately due to covid we had to change our DJ a few times and ended up with Tony Ho who we were ecstatic to hear was available for our new date! He immediately reached out to me via email, gave me his phone number and the run down of everything. He set up a time to talk on the phone and go over details more in depth. My husband and I have completely opposite tastes in music so I found instrumentals of metal songs and asked for those to be played throughout the ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner. Tony had no issues whatsoever playing them for me and even welcomed the idea! He made me feel less crazy about it. He played all our top songs and introduced our wedding party just like we asked. He was so personable and down to earth. He had so many people on the dance floor for HOURS. I do not dance, you can ask anyone and I even told Tony this. I was probably on that dance floor most of the night. He made it a very memorable night and we are so lucky to have had him be our DJ.

We hired Keith from Sounds Abound to DJ our wedding, and he was phenomenal! He was more than willing to help us and answer any questions we had about music leading up to our wedding (and we had a lot more questions than we anticipated having!). Not only did he play great music during dinner, but he read the crowd perfectly during dancing and did an amazing job at keeping everyone engaged throughout the night. Multiple guests commented on how amazing he was. We highly recommend him!

Rufus did such an amazing job for our wedding! The dance floor was full all night long. He did a great job reading the room and selecting the perfect song to keep the energy up. We are still getting comments from our family and friends almost 9 months after the wedding about how fantastic the DJ did. We would recommend time and time again to use Sounds Abound and specifically Rufus for your wedding.

Tony Ho was the DJ at our wedding at Cog Hill. He was amazing throughout the whole planning process with helping us pick out songs and even making a special mix for mine and my husband’s first dance. Everyone at the wedding had nothing but great things to say, and there was not one time where there weren’t people on the dance floor. He kept the party going the whole night and helped make all our wedding day dreams come true.

Sounds Abound was the perfect choice for our wedding reception last year. From the initial meeting, to selecting our music and planning the entrances/speeches, David Wilner was the way above and beyond our (high) expectations.

David made us feel comfortable, confident, and gave us complete control to make our day go just the way we wanted. He really is more than just a DJ/MC, he is like a hybrid Superman who does everything to make the event go perfectly.

David and Sounds Abound werre professional and excellent in every way from music selection, advice on timing and planning, to keeping everyone on track during our big day, and much more. Sounds Abound will deliver for your event, we cannot reccomend David Wilner highly enough!

Hello Sounds Abound,
Just want to write a few words and let you know what a great service we received at our Lodge Employee Reward Dinner from Kyle. He is absolutely awesome DJ with great sense of what to play and where. Kyle is a master of his job - he feels the surroundings, understands the crowd, has a great collection of songs and uses his music very wisely. We had a great time and he certainly helped us.
Today I recommended him personally to one of my lovely couples and really hope they will book him.
Thank you again for the great service and good luck!
Looking forward to working with Kyle and all Sounds Abound team on our future weddings at the Lodge.

Tony Ho was THE BEST. He came highly recommended by a friend who got married and I am so glad we booked him. He is so much fun, personable and plays the best music! We had so many compliments about how our dance floor was packed from start to finish. Can't recommend Tony Ho enough!

Tony Ho was the DJ at my wedding this weekend and let me just tell you, all the other reviews I read are completely correct. A couple weeks out from the wedding he gave my husband and I his cell number and told us that if we needed anything, contact him. I texted him at 10pm 2 days before the wedding because I forgot one of the most important songs I wanted to play and he got it in with no hesitation. He was totally flexible with what we did and didn’t want, EVERYONE was dancing almost the whole night, and I have gotten dozens of comments saying how amazing he was. The day after my wedding he sent me a snap of my wedding cake and a picture of me and my mom that I didn’t know he took, and thanked ME for letting him be our DJ. If I could get married 10 more times just to have Tony as our DJ I would without hesitation. The photo booth was incredible as well and had some of the best quality pictures I’ve ever seen from a wedding photo booth! The attendant was super kind and kept the line moving smoothly when there was one. All in all I had an AMAZING experience with Sounds Abound and I will definitely be recommending them to all of my friends as they get married!!!

I was planning my daughters wedding and was clueless on where to begin searching for a DJ. I decided to chose a DJ by word of mouth which lead me to reading many online reviews-which lead me to DJ, Tony Ho!! I was so excited after reading the reviews that I contacted Soundsabound immediately and requested Tony to be my DJ with over a year in advance from the wedding.
Tony and I immediately spoke on the phone. He was very friendly and extremely outgoing which is what everyone would want in a DJ. He was very accommodating and always available to talk via phone or text prior to the wedding. He was very thorough and detailed. On the day of the wedding. Tony did an amazing job. He kept everyone on the dance floor the entire evening. It was truly a night to remember.
If you are reading this and in search of a great DJ, Tony Ho is your man!!!! Hands down!!!!!!! I feel like a made a friend for life!
Tony, Thank you for making my daughters wedding day so special. You were an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you for being you and caring to creating memories that people talk about long after the wedding. You are the BEST!!
Regards,
Laura

We had an amazing experience with our DJ Matt this past Saturday we got married and He made everything so easy and just so amazing! He knew what to do at all times. Didn’t have to be hunting him down at all. We gave him our notes and he took that into consideration and just did an excellent job! I would recommend him to any wedding, family party, graduation. You call it. I’ll make sure to keep his information on file for whenever we might need him again! 10 full stars.

Geoff, Thank you so much for DJing our wedding at the Haight! Everyone had so much fun and the dance floor was full the whole night! We had a Blast! Thank You!

Just wanted to reiterate how much fun our staff had at the Holiday Party.  People are still talking about it!! Many thanks to Kyle and Riz for their fantastic energy and simply providing a groovy time!!!
Again, thank you from all of the employees at Cantigny!!

Kyle and his crew did an awesome job throughout our wedding night. They were punctual, attentive, and professional while being responsible for music/entertainment during our ceremony and reception. Our photo booth was awesome, they printed out strips of three photos for every person in the pictures and sent them to everyone via electronic photo album. They also sent the us(bride&groom) a google drive photo album of my entire parties photo booth pictures. They are great, highly recommended!

Rufus was wonderful, he made the reception so great.  We received so many comments on how great he was!

Tony Ho was THE BEST. He came highly recommended by a friend who got married and I am so glad we booked him. He is so much fun, personable and plays the best music! We had so many compliments about how our dance floor was packed from start to finish. Can't recommend Tony Ho enough!

Dear Sounds Abound and Geoff,
Thank you so much for making our corporate holiday party a success. The music provided was an excellent mix, and everyone loved the Photo Booth.

Tony Ho was incredible! He took time to get to know us, made everything run smoothly and really studied our playlist. Be played all the right music, our guests were in the dance floor all night. We all had a blast and we cannot thank Tony enough for making our special day absolutely perfect!

Just want to follow up to let you know again that we LOVED your service. It was incredible, Riz was amazing and we will definitely be using you guys for our future events.

Thank you so much for all of the entertainment at our wedding. Kyle was a great DJ and really kept the energy up during our reception. Kyle also provided our ceremony music and everything we so smoothly. We also loved our photo booth. Guests loved the open air feel of the booth and still talk about how fun and different it was! Thank you so much! Our day wouldn't have been the same without you.

We had Brian Keck as our DJ for our second reception in Chicago. We had gotten married out of state and then had a Chicago party. We were at Cress Creek. Everything was included except the DJ. We picked Sounds Abound because their website included sample videos of their DJs which was very helpful. We chose Brian because he had the vibe we were going for. This was a fancy party with several older relatives. He contacted us a few times before the wedding to understand what we were looking for and he paid attention. I told him the types of music we like and that it was a slightly more sophisticated crowd. At some point I happened to mention that I don't like country music except Garth Brooks and my husband likes Elvis Presley, but I don't. Brian wonderfully snuck in some of the best of those songs throughout the night. It was awesome to hear them mixed in and we each felt like we got what we wanted. Brian was there and set up before we arrived. He checked in with us throughout the night. He even checked with us to see if I had taken my husband's name before he said it. So conscientious. Plenty of people of all ages danced the night away. Absolutely awesome!

Geoff was our DJ at our reception and he was absolutely fantastic! The dance was packed all night long! He understood the crowd and the music our guests were into. He was on time and extremely professional. We couldn't asked for a better DJ!

Tony Ho was our DJ for our wedding and he was everything we could have wanted. He was so easy to work with and listened to all of our requests. Our dance floor was packed all night long and guests even told us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to, Tony was a huge part of that!

We had Matt Ammons as our DJ for our November wedding! He was fantastic, showed up on time, had all our requested music! Super easy to work with and get a hold of. There were no issues with music, everything sounded great, lights were awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a super fun, lively atmosphere at their wedding!

Jason Yach was our DJ. He did an excellent job. Our reception had more of a slightly older crowd (40's to 60's), so Jason tailored the selections to keep with that age group, but he still had a good mix so all ages groups were able to enjoy the music. Jason was very attentive to make sure that we felt he was playing the right songs. We received many compliments from our guests as to the song selections. Thanks to Jason and Sounds Abound for making our reception a success. The equipment was in good shape and the sound quality was very good. A very professional job all around. Well worth the money and Sounds Abound was very competitive. We will recommend Sounds Abound, and especially Jason, to everyone we know.

Larry,
We want to thank you for sharing in the celebration of our wedding. We had such a wonderful experience working with you. You really helped us bring our vision of the day to life!

We had Tony Ho as our DJ and he was great. He was able to play just the variety of music we had asked for and kept all guests entertained. We never had an empty dance floor and every guest that stayed until the very least second of the night talked about how great it was to have the variety of music to keep them going.

Jason dj'd our wedding this October and we could not have been happier with our choice! He was responsive to emails and very informative leading up to our wedding. The best part was the actual day of the wedding, he kept us informed and on schedule the entire day. He knew how to work the crowd and had everyone dancing from oldest to youngest. The actual company sounds abound was also very easy to work with a lot of the planning tools available online. We were so happy with this choice of company and dj, and cannot say enough good things about our entire experience. Would definitely recommend

Jason was great. He communicated with us from the beginning and kept in contact about any changes or additions. He kept guests on the dance floor the whole night.

We booked Tony Ho as our DJ for our October 13, 2019 wedding. He was an awesome, amazing, and easy-going DJ to work with! He totally listened to my suggestions and when people requested songs to be played-he played them. I don't think I ever danced for almost 4 hours straight. He definitely knew how to keep me and others on the dance floor. Even though I had a small wedding, he definitely kept the party going 'til it was time to shut down. He was an amazing DJ and I highly recommend people to book him!!! DJ Tony Ho was da bomb! 🙂

We originally saw our wedding DJ, Rufus Cathey at two of our friends weddings, and immediately knew he had to be our DJ for our wedding! I felt so confident that we barely suggested any music, we left it in his hands and he wowed us more than we could have expected. The dance floor was crowded the entire night and he tailored it to fit our exact style. He was timely in his responses and never tired of my constant questions. I would 100% recommend Sounds Abound, and ask for Rufus 🙂

Our wedding coordinator recommended sounds abound for our wedding and they did not disappoint! We loved using the online planning tool to pre-plan our must play, please play, and do not play lists. Our DJ, Larry, stayed in contact with us to ensure everything was planned and perfect, made it a point to ensure he pronounced everyone’s name in the bridal party right (and we had 16 people in our bridal party), and kept the dance floor full and fun all night!

We were very happy with using Sounds Abound for our wedding! We used them for our DJ, up lighting, and photo booth. Geoff was our DJ and he did great! He was always on top of things and was great to go to for advice while wedding planning. The photo booth was a big hit and very easy to use.

Finding a DJ was the easiest part for our wedding. Sounds Abound hosted an event at their office where we got to meet all the DJs. Oddly, we chose a DJ that was not in that day but we had a chance to see his work in videos and to chat on the phone several times. Vincenzo was fantastic - the rest of the staff were great at handling the contracts and details. And the night of - Vincenzo was totally on top of keeping us on time, as well as flexible when dynamics popped up once in a while. He is incredibly sweet, and really kept the music flowing. We had a great crowd and he kept it lively until we closed the reception for the night!

Steve Drews was our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! He met with us in person prior to the wedding to get to know Jeff and I and learned more about what we were looking for. The entire evening he was on point! He kept the crowd on the dance floor from start to finish! It was so amazing to see how music really made people come alive! His personality lit up the space. We will for sure use him in the future! XOXO

We found Sounds Abound thanks to a family recommendation. While looking them up, we discovered they had an open house event coming up. That event sealed the deal for us, and we booked them right then and there! There was a meet and greet with majority of the DJs and they showcased what gear they used for lighting, etc. We talked to Matt and were sold! The day of our wedding, Matt and his assistant were incredibly accommodating. They had the information from our client portal beforehand, but made sure to check-in with us right at the beginning of our reception and rocked it from there on. Matt rarely needed to talk to us throughout the reception because he had things under control. The dance floor was always full and the music was a perfect combination and flow from the recommendations we provided ahead of time. Sounds Abound was on time, always professional, and kept the party going!

David Wilner is a true Master of Ceremonies! We connected with David through our friends' recommendation of Sounds Abound and we are so glad we got referred to him based on our interfaith Jewish-Catholic wedding. It was important to us to get both sides involved in the Hora and keep our guests dancing all night - David exceeded all of our expectations. Even though we met in person and spoke on the phone several times, David's performance on game day was outstanding. Whether it was corralling our family and friends for introductions, running an amazing multi-generational playlist or keeping the night's events moving, David never missed a beat. Our family, friends and other vendors are still talking about how many people we had on the dance floor until the stroke of midnight! Our only regret is not extending our package for another hour 🙂 Thank you so much David and Sounds Abound for an unforgettable and extremely fun evening!

After getting engaged, there was no question as to where we were going to go for our DJ after experiencing Jason Yach at a friend’s wedding. From the very start, Jason connected with us about what we were looking for in a DJ and the vibe we wanted our guests to feel at our wedding. Jason had the dance floor packed the entire reception which was our main goal. Not only was our music amazing the entire time, Jason kept the reception flowing from introductions through the last song. We can’t wait for our next friend or family member to get engaged so that we can recommend Sounds Abound and Jason for their special day!

The Sounds Abound Team is absolutely amazing! We highly recommend booking your wedding day with their team. We worked with Matt and Chris who did a fantastic job all night long. They kept people wanting to dance throughout the whole night and did a great job keeping everything on pace for us! They do an amazing job! We would definitely book another event with them! If you're looking for an amazing DJ Team- schedule your event with Sounds Abound!

We recently hired this company to DJ our wedding. Craig, our DJ, was amazing! He kept the music going, the people dancing, and the energy was fun. The volume never got overpowering. Craig's assistant, Amanda, was just as fantastic. I'd hire these two again for any event!

Gregg!
You did such a wonderful job, thank you so much. You some how managed to work in both mine and Henry's musical preferences, which is no easy task. All of our guests had a wonderful time and you kept me dancing all night.

Thank you, Sounds Abound and DJ Tony Ho for helping us have a perfect wedding. Everything went amazingly. DJ Tony Ho is the best!

DJ Craig, Thanks for the work you did for Thomas & Michelle's wedding back in September! We appreciated working with you. Thanks for helping make a great celebration.

Jason Yach was absolutely outstanding and wonderful as a DJ at our wedding! Jason has also DJ'ed both my brother and sisters weddings, along with some family friends, and he never fails to do an excellent Job! He connected with us prior to the event to make sure all of our needs were met and to ensure a smooth day. Jason was very accommodating on our day, as the timing was slightly off schedule, but he adjusted impeccably and truly made the night run smoothly and perfectly for us! I cannot recommend Jason enough to make your DJ needs met and exceeded! You will not be disappointed! No questions asked - Book him now!

Tony Ho was amazing! Very professional and well-spoken. The music was the perfect mix based on our taste. Sounds Abound is very affordable and their online planner made our lives much easier. Would recommend to anyone - get Tony Ho!

Sounds Abound provided the DJ, photo booth and up lighting for our wedding on 5/4/19. They were amazing! Everyone was super helpful and professional. They were willing to work with us to get a fun design on our photo booth pictures. Geoff, our DJ, was AMAZING! He was able to read the room and kept the dance floor going all night long. I would HIGHLY recommend working with them.

Geoff,
Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding reception so much fun! We were so happy that everyone was on the dance floor all night. You have received so many compliments from our family and friends. Thank you again!

Geoff
We wanted to say a quick thank you for all of your work to make our wedding a success!! Everyone keeps telling us that they had a blast and it is thanks to the amazing party atmosphere you provided!! Thanks for keeping us on track and rolling with the chaos!
One of our favorite memories will be everyone joining us for the last "500 Miles" dance!! Thank you again for making it all happen.

I'm so glad we hired Jason and Sounds Abound to DJ our wedding. Simply outstanding! The communication with Jason was great from our initial meeting all the way through the reception. He kept the dance floor hopping all night, mixing in current stuff with oldies. During the reception Jason repeatedly checked in to make sure that song choices were on point, itinerary follow through (first dance, bouquet/garter toss, etc.), and most importantly that we were having fun and great time. I will definitely recommend Jason and Sounds Abound to all my friends and relatives. Thank you for a beautiful wedding!

Dear Gregg,
Thank you so very much for your work at our party this past weekend. We had a wonderful time celebrating and guest after guest commented on what a good job you did for us.
If you need a party reference, we’d love to go on record reporting that you and the Sounds Abound web site made party planning go very smoothly.
Thanks again.

Rufus
Thank you for keeping the party going. We're very appreciative of your assistance with all music things.

Hi Rufus!
Thank you so much for making our day amazing! We loved the vibe you helped us create and will recommend you to our friends!

HOLY COW! It’s a couple of weeks after our wedding and we are still hearing from our guests how much fun our reception was! There are a lot of vendors out there, but I can 100% say hiring Craig and Sounds Abound was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! They are attentive, caring, charismatic, professional and more! Music is one of the things I was most worried about because we love to two step, line dance, and are more of a country family than what’s modern on the radio. From my first phone conversation I had with Craig my mind was completely at ease. He just got it. Craig could have picked every single song and I know he would have knocked it our of the park! Outside of my husband he was one of the best decision I made that day! Their online planner is also fantastic! I love how you can customize what you like and don’t like! And the best part is they’re respectful of it! I can’t say enough good things about them! Craig - thank you! I wish we could go back and do it every weekend!

Steve and team from Sounds Abound Created an amazing atmosphere for us for my daughter's event - they got everyone dancing, playing games and having fun - they were perfect!

My husband and I had Matt Ammons from Sounds Abound as our DJ for our wedding in July 2019. We could not have been happier with our choice! Matt was easy to work with prior to and the day of the event. He navigated the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception perfectly making sure to highlight all of the important moments. Matt really helped keep our party going all night and we have received many compliments from our guests. We highly recommend Sounds Abound and especially DJ Matt Ammons.

Tony Ho did an absolutely phenomenal job DJing our wedding! Following the reception, friends and family reached out to specifically complement how perfectly our DJ read the room and kept people on the dance floor all night long.
Tony was incredibly professional and easy to work with through the process, always making himself available if we had any questions. Everything was perfectly coordinated to execute our vision for the evening to perfection.
We can't say enough good things about Tony and Sounds Abound.

We met DJ Mike at the Sounds Abound open house back in April and were really impressed with his song selections, music style, and set-up.
Mike was able to bring in additional equipment for the best acoustics at our venue with separated dining and dancing areas.
He went above and beyond by tracking down several specific songs we requested through various sources like Spotify and YouTube. Even though there were so many songs to go through on our requested list, Mike was able to throw in other songs similar to the ones we liked and had the floor packed!
Towards the end of the night, he was throwing down amazing mashups! Heck, even his assistants were joining us for the Cupid Shuffle!
We could tell DJ Mike Macie is highly talented and has a passion for his job. He even went the extra mile by bringing his own additional sound and lighting equipment. For anyone else reading this, we would highly recommend him to play at your wedding!
We also had the enclosed Fun Booth and there was not a single moment the photo booth was empty. There was a vast spread of props for our guests to choose from. At the end of the night. we received a link to the online gallery of ALL the guests who used the photo booth!
Sounds Abound was one of the most responsive and reliable vendors we chose for our wedding. The staff and DJs are personable and wanted to ensure the best experience for our wedding. I sincerely hope they continue to hold their DJ open house. Without it, we never would've found DJ Mike Macie!

We had Geoff as our wedding DJ- he did phenomenal!! He read the room and played the songs that were on the list and made sure people stayed dancing the whole night. He was so kind, he was purposeful with learning how to pronounce everyone’s name in our wedding party! I would recommend Sounds Abound to anyone, Geoff was Awesome!

Sounds Abound was amazing! We had Geoff as our DJ and he was awesome! Everyone was on the dance floor all night! I was very impressed with how accommodating he was with doing the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception since they were all in different areas at the venue. He helped keep everything on track along with our day of coordinator. The website is also easy to use to pick your must play songs, all of the first dances, and even songs that you do not want to be played. I truly enjoyed working with him and this company!

We used Sounds Abound for our backyard wedding reception after our destination wedding. Craig walked us through all the announcements and music selections for the evening prior to the evening, and went out of his way to ensure everyone was having a great time.
We will definitely use Sounds Abound for our next big party!

We had Tony Ho DJ our wedding on July 13! I cannot say enough how wonderful he was to work with! He is so personable and easy to work with! He met with us before the big day to make sure everything was perfect! On the night of our wedding he kept the party going all night long! He even let my 6 year old godson help him DJ! We will definitely be recommending Tony to our friends and family!

Jason was the absolute best!! He is so nice and is there for you the whole way! Any questions you have he is quick to answer. He played a great mix of music, and the online planning tools helped so much. You can’t go wrong with sounds abound, but definitely pick Jason, you won’t regret it!!

Geoff,
Thanks so much for making our day so special! You did a great job! Thank you for taking the time to meet with us and create our vision!

We hired them for our wedding of about 170 people and they were amazing. Our wedding was in May and we still have people telling us how great our DJ was. Kyle played the best music and our dance floor was packed from the very first song until the very last song. We also used their open air photo booth and it was so worth it! All of our guests loved it and it was a great keepsake for us when we received the copies of all of the pictures of our guests. The website was super user friendly and we were able to very easily compile a list of songs that we wanted played and did not want played. We would definitely hire them again!

Kyle recently DJ'd our wedding ceremony and reception. We couldn't have asked for a better music option. He was not only a great DJ, but also went above and beyond throughout the night. He continually checked in with us to see if he could help with anything, not just the music. He helped make our "Big Day" a success!

To put it briefly, there are not enough positive things that I could say about Larry Merkel and Sounds Abound. I doubt anything I can say here will do either the company or Larry justice, but I’ll do my best.

First off, the set up. It was not a particularly easy venue, and required multiple setups, (both indoor and outdoors) and utilization of the venue’s speaker system for a section of the night. If any of that phased Larry, he certainly didn’t show it. He arrived early and was a consummate professional. In 90 plus degree heat, he provided the music for the ceremony flawlessly.

But the reception was where he shined. We knew from other wedding attendances that typically people enjoy the music and dance for a small amount of time, but eventually the dance floor clears and people move on to drinking, chatting, or they just leave.

Not our show. Larry kept the energy high and kept our guests dancing from, quite literally, the first song to the last. I have honestly never attended a wedding where the dance floor was so busy for the entire event.

I wish I could offer constructive criticism or at least some area for improvement - truthfully, I have none. I was approached by three soon-to-be brides who demanded Larry’s information. I hope I’ll be seeing him again soon.

We had Brian Keck DJ our wedding on 7/6/19. He did an awesome job.
My wife was more involved in setting up the music and we also gave Brian a little freedom to play the music he thought would be best depending on the crowd and dance floor.
I was pleasantly surprised how smooth everything went. Brian Keck gets 5/5 stars and my recommendation.

We first heard about Sounds Abound at one of my best friend’s wedding a few years ago. He had a lot of good things to say about them so after we got engaged, we checked them out. We were really encouraged to see that if we went with Sounds Abound we could pick our own DJ as long as they were available. After reviewing all the videos online, it didn’t take us long to recognize that Craig Mohler was the DJ and MC we wanted for our wedding.

We got a chance to meet personally with Craig at their Naperville office. Craig is a very calm, cool guy. He’s someone that is very likable guy with a sincere desire to make your wedding day special. After some introductions and funny banter, he started to share his extensive background and different approaches he has done for various receptions. He then asked us what we wanted and hoped to have for our reception. He talked about our tastes in music and style of reception we wanted.

From the very beginning through the reception Craig was always communicating with us. He always made us feel like our wedding day was at the top of his list. He offered a lot of good ideas and recommendations, especially around the type of music during dinner. We thought more slow, instrumental music was best but Craig suggested music a little more upbeat and he was right.

Craig showed up hours before the cocktail hour and had our choice colors all decked out with the wireless up-lights that were very cool to see. The cocktail hour went very well and he did a fantastic job getting us all to lined up and prepared for each of our entrances. He handled all the special dances like a pro. He came up to us a few times during the night to see how things we going and we couldn’t have been more happier. We had issues with some other things that went wrong that night, but never once did we ever worry about or be concerned over Craig at Sounds Abound.

We were so thankful for Craig and will always recommend him to anyone who asks us.

Thank you so much for everything Craig!

Mike and Becky

Hello Gregg,
Would just like to take the time to thank you for being our DJ Saturday on such an important day for us. You did such an amazing job! Everyone seemed to enjoy the music!
Thank you so much again for all the hard work you put into the music list. We're very happy with how it turned out!
I will definitely recommend you to anyone else I know that may be getting married in the future!

We had Craig Mohler as our DJ for our wedding and he was wonderful. We have nothing but good things to say. We met with Craig once in person at the Sounds Abound office about a month before the wedding to discuss some details and go over ideas. We then scheduled a phone call the week of the wedding to go over any final details and any changes. He was very responsive and helpful throughout that last month. The day of he was promptly there on time and everything went the way we had planned. Our family and friends raves about how much they loved the music and even asked for referrals for their upcoming wedding. We are so thankful we chose Sounds Abound and Craig and we would recommend him In a heartbeat!

Sounds Abound had a great online planner that was easy to use and very helpful. They have an awesome Meet the DJ website to help you select your choice of DJ for your wedding. They will also meet with you in person or on the phone before your wedding to go over the timeline and song choices to make sure everyone is on the same page. Was a great company and we really liked our DJ Rufus!

One of the most frequent compliments we received from our wedding guests was how great the music was. We had the pleasure of working with DJ Rufus and he was very accommodating to everything we asked. Our dance floor was packed all night and everybody had a blast! I would definitely recommend using Sounds Abound for any event, especially DJ Rufus!

Kyle and the Sounds Abound team helped make our wedding experience more amazing and memorable than we ever could have imagined or hoped for. Kyle was very professional and helpful from the very first time we met with him. Kyle was able to offer advice and suggestions while also listening and incorporating our vision. Our family and friends wont stop talking about how great the music was for the mood. He had everyone dancing until the venue kicked us out! Our special day would not be possible without Sounds Abound Entertainment.

David Wilner is THE BEST!! When we first met David, he hooked us by saying his style (paraphrased, sorry if this isn’t fully the way you explained it) was that our wedding was the stage / we were the stars and he was the director to facilitate our evening. We had a lot of details with our wedding and David nailed every single detail. He was wonderful with meeting our needs, focusing on us, our vision and was able to tell our guests politely, no to requests and other things. If anything arose, David discreetly approached us, so that we had nothing to stress about 🙂 He kept our dance floor packed until 1 AM!! If you want a DJ who truly cares about your wedding, you need to book David!

I can not say enough wonderful things about Tony Ho and the company!!! They were so easy to work with and Tony Ho did a fantastic job. We got married about a month ago and our family and friends are still raving about how awesome he was!

Tony made our wedding night celebration a night to remember. When we spoke with him on a few days before our wedding, we only knew a few things but had a VERY open playlist. We told him we just want music that will get people of all ages on the dance floor. Let me tell you, he did just that! We had every member at our wedding come on the dance floor at least once! We even gave him confetti poppers to pop off when that timing was right on the dance floor. Again, let me tell you, he nailed it!!

Not only was music selection and DJing wonderful, Tony Ho did a fantastic job with transitions for our wedding night. There was not awkward pauses or switches between speeches, formal dances, introductions, etc. He was was phenomenal!

I would 100% recommend this company, especially Tony Ho for future events. You will NOT regret it.

My husband and I used Sounds Abound for our wedding and could not be happier. A few of our friends had used them before, so we knew we'd find a great DJ. Sounds Abound has videos of all their DJs on their website, which was awesome to look through and help us pick someone who we thought went with our vibe. Geoff was awesome! I've had multiple guests tell us they've never seen a dancefloor that full. Geoff played all our must plays and added other similar music for every generation that was there. He did a great job!

We cannot recommend Sounds Abound (Specifically Tony Ho) enough!! Tony took our wedding to the next level with the absolutely perfect playlist for us and our guests! He has great personality and read our minds when it came to the music choices.

Tony went above and beyond for us, even meeting with us ahead of our wedding to make sure we felt comfortable with our ceremony choices, checking pronunciation for bridal party/family names, and answering any questions that we had.

I have had several friends ask who our awesome DJ was, and I am so happy to pass Tony's name/Sounds Abound along!

TONY. HO. If you haven't already, RUN (don't walk) over to Sounds Abound and book Tony immediately. I don't even know where to begin with how awesome he is and how amazing he made our night. He sincerely crushed it. From the very beginning, he was so helpful and easy to work with. He's so insanely responsive and really is just looking to make your night as perfect as possible. He sent random words of encouragement along the way...I told my fiance (now husband) at least 3 times throughout the planning process "I think I might be in love with Tony Ho" haha. In a time that can be super stressful and overwhelming, he was the calm during the storm. We provided maybe 5 "must-play" songs and a handful of other songs we liked…I’m not exaggerating when I say that the dancefloor was ALWAYS packed, and by people of all ages. Our bridal party, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, everyone ages 20-85! At 11:45pm when the bar was doing last call, the dancefloor was still packed. We ended up extending the reception an hour and when 1am rolled around, the dancefloor was STILL packed. We had to legit kick people out…Tony read the dancefloor and the vibes so well. Our experience was a 15/10. Yes – Tony was that amazing. He showed up early, he dressed professionally, he pronounced all of the names perfectly, and was ready to rock and roll. We had a ton of people tell us that we had “the best reception ever” and that was 10000% because of Tony. Book him! It will be the best decision you make, besides saying “I do” 🙂

KYLE you were one of the BEST decisions we made at our wedding. I’ve never seen that many people on a dance floor at one time (including 7 guys ripping their pants during cotton eye joe/every time we touch) and have been getting endless texts about how iconic the dance floor was at our wedding!! From every age, the floor was consistently PACKED for hours to the point that to say hi to guests we had to hit up the middle of the dance floor. You knew how to take our requests and easily fit in similar songs to get the party going. You also knew the perfect sit and eat your dinner tunes. Thanks for making our wedding one I’ll never forget.

We had chosen to work with Sounds Abound (and specifically Gregg Eisel) after attending several weddings within my husband's family. We noticed that each wedding had a very different feel and all of them encapsulated the bride and groom wonderfully. We were initially concerned with how communication would work due to living out of state, but Gregg was awesome and made sure to reach out periodically as well as quick responses to any questions. We got slightly confused by their website, I definitely recommend going over the website with your DJ to ensure you complete all necessary forms (we forgot the important one!). Despite all of this, Gregg was helpful and so kind to us during our meeting. He helped us figure out ways to make our song list and entry music more unique to us and over all I believe that contributed to creating the desired vibe. Gregg was always contactable and worked hard to ensure that we had all of our musical needs met prior to the day of so there were no last minute questions. Gregg kept the timing of the night going smoothly and was able to read the crowd/play songs so that everyone could enjoy dancing. I am so grateful that we chose to work with Gregg and Sounds Abound!

We booked Tony Ho from Sounds Abound to be the DJ for our wedding, and it was seriously one of the BEST decisions we made! Tony was INCREDIBLE! Throughout the planning process, he would check in with emails to see if there was anything we needed. He is so funny, sweet, and accommodating. Sounds Abound has an online planning tool where you can select must-play or do-not-play songs, as well as an unlimited amount of "Songs You Like" - Tony really took all this and ran with it, and absolutely NAILED our music style! From cocktail hour, to dinner, to the reception, he truly played songs that we loved and enjoyed. I had stressed out a lot about music during the planning process, only because my husband and I are such big music people and we really hoped that our "vibe" could be captured. Tony did not disappoint! Our dance floor was literally packed the ENTIRE night, up until the last song! He played music that everyone enjoyed, and made sure to throw in Salsa and Spanish music to honor my culture - it was such a blast! We have gotten so many compliments about our wedding and people have told us that they have never seen a dance floor as packed as ours! Thank you, Tony, for making our night one to remember! We will recommend you to all of our friends for their future weddings. 🙂

We had Brian DJ our wedding from Sounds abound and could not have been happier! There were a few last minute changes we had to make to the original spreadsheet we went over with him due to an illness & Brian made sure everything went smoothly. Our friends and family have been raving all weekend about the music and how awesome the DJ was. My little brother is very into music & Brian was chatting with him about DJING. Its really being so personable & fun that is rare to find these days. All of my close friends have used sounds abound for their weddings and we could not have been happier. Brian knew when to play the right songs at the right moments. He personally sent me a video of all of our close family & friends singing around us at the end of the night. Thank you so much for such a memorable night!

Gregg, Thank you again for everything. You made it a perfect evening!

We used Sounds Abound for our DJ (Jason Yach) and also our photo booth and we were incredibly pleased with both! We worked with Kyle in the beginning to get the contract signed and to figure out which DJ we were going to choose. He also helped us out when we needed to cancel the uplighting because it turned out our venue offered it already. We chose Jason Yach as our DJ and we honestly couldn't be happier with our choice! He was so easy to talk to during our pre-wedding meeting and helped us out tremendously considering that we had so little figured out. His selection of music was great throughout the night and the dance floor was always crowded! He worked with all of our asks of playing snippets of songs just at the right moment (like the first kiss), found some random stuff that we asked for (who knew that an instrumental version of Fireball by Pitbull even existed???), and incorporated 4 or 5 Cambodian songs in a flawless way! He also worked with us to extend the contract by an hour the day of which was the best. The photo booth was also a huge hit and Vincenzo, who worked the booth, was great as well! They gave us all of the pictures the night of and also made sure that we had all of the pictures that included us printed out. We couldn't be happier with our choice to use Sounds Abound and highly recommend Jason!

Jason was extremely attentive and kept the party going the whole night. The highlight of the night was definitely when he played an extra song at the end when people chanted “one more song”.

Mike. Thank you so much for all of your great and hard work last night! You made Mark, Luke and Jessica's Graduation Party Epic! Excellent song choices and thank you for making the move indoors when the rain started. We all had a great time and appreciate your awesome DJ skills.

From the moment we met Tony Ho, we knew we wanted him to DJ our wedding. We went to a Sounds Abound meet-and-greet back in 2017 when we first got engaged. He was easily the brightest person in the room and stood out naturally. His saying is what got us to commit..."oh y not". Get it? Get it? It's his name...BACKWARDS! I mean, come on...how amazing was that?!? On the actual wedding day, Tony was on time, professional, respectively dressed for the evening, and a kind soul to work with. His music choice was AMAZING and kept everyone on the dance floor until we were kicked out at the end of the night. He was flexible when it came up that we needed to switch the timeline, he pronounced all of our important people's names correctly, and never ceased to impress all of our guests who attended! My husband and I give Tony all of the credit for making our wedding reception a 10/10! Go find him at Sounds Abound in Naperville!

Our wedding with you guys made everything so perfect! We became interested in you when we came to your office, and you were the only vendor that offered a military discount without us asking for one. We had issues with changing our date because of both of us being in the military, and you were able to accommodate us! We felt it was an easy decision to use your services for the wedding and we have no regrets! We picked Tony Coix as our DJ being he was able to announce in both English and Spanish. He was attentive and agreed to meet with us on two occasions before the wedding and listened to what we wanted. From the ceremony set up, everyone was able to hear. Reception music was EXACTLY what we were looking for as well!! Everyone who stayed to dance had a great time and there was music for everyone. The best part of the night was when my husband and I were the only ones on the dance floor when everyone was already gone, and Tony our DJ played a few more songs. It was a great moment for just us two and i will never forget it!
Thank you again!

Tony Ho is the first DJ I have ever heard getting an "encore" chant, he's just that good, he delivers the jams!! Tony Ho is by far the best DJ you could ever have for your wedding!! Very professional, great at reading the dance floor to keep it packed, perfect pronunciation of names in introductions, and all around great guy. BOOK HIM NOW, he fills up quick, because he is the best!!!!

We had Kyle and he was great!! Everything was perfect and went very smoothly. The dance floor was packed all night!

We had Keith from Sounds Abound as the DJ at our wedding. He was wonderful and checked in with us throughout the planning process and the wedding day to make sure everything went the way we wanted. The whole company was very friendly, easy to work with and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Tony, it was great working with you this past weekend at Victoria In The Park for Kelsey and Nick. Thanks for all you work in making their reception fun and memorable. Hope to work with you again in the future.

Keith, thank you for being our wedding DJ! Everything was wonderful and it was awesome to see so many people out on the dance floor having fun! You were great to work with. Thank you!

If you are wondering who to choose as a DJ for your wedding; pick Sounds Abound! My husband and I did quite a bit of research and meeting with DJs prior to choosing one and I can say that we knew almost right away after meeting with their staff that we would go with Sounds Abound. They were very kind and accommodating from the start. They talked with us until we had a package that worked best for our needs and at a price that was unbelievable compared to others that we looked at. Some other vendors charged the same price for one DJ as what we got with Sounds Abound including a DJ, DJ assistant, room uplighting, and a photo booth! With that, there were no corners cut, everything was perfect; the uplighting added more to the dining room than I could have thought and the photo booth was a hit all night. Speaking of the photo booth, the man who was running it was helpful, knowledgable, and stayed even longer than he was supposed to because guests were using the photo booth so much - we can't say how much we appreciate that! We had Larry Merkel as our DJ; we picked him based off of reviews and videos on the Sounds Abound website, which was a great plus - most other companies we looked at just assigned a DJ to you. Probably my greatest concern leading up to the wedding was that the dance floor wouldn't stay full, I just wanted people to dance. Larry and his assistant totally nailed this aspect. Guests danced the entire night, I couldn't have been more thrilled. He did a great job of combining playing songs that we asked for and adding those that he knew would keep the dance floor moving with a great combination of current songs and oldies for all ages. He even came out onto the dance floor and did the YMCA with us, he was awesome! He stayed upbeat and fun the entire night, even had no problem doing some extra things we asked like handing out glow necklaces and little gifts on the dance floor to guests. We are so happy with Sounds Abound and would pick them over and over. Thank you Larry!

We chose Gregg to DJ our wedding. Gregg was fantastic! The dance floor always had people on it. I received so many compliments of how awesome our DJ was. I would recommend SoundsAbound to anyone!

We had Riz as our DJ/MC and we cannot express how incredible he was. He was familiar with fusion weddings, which is why we chose him.  He definitely made sure my Pakistani culture was highlighted in the playlist.  My first conversation with him lasted over an hour.  He was very personable and sincerely listened to what we wanted.  He made our wedding flow seamlessly not only with the music, but as our MC as well.  We would highly recommend Riz.  He is fun, experienced, and listens to his clients wants and needs.

Brian Keck was outstanding! He was polite, funny, organized and very light hearted. He gave us recommendations and would ask us before switching it up. We didn't really know what our last song was, and using our music taste, he recommended the most epic last song that just ended the night perfectly! (Bohemian Rhapsody!) He worked well with last minute changes and always seemed like he was having just as much fun! He kept us on schedule throughout the night and was so easy to work with. Their online forms are so easy and helpful! He even got videos of some of the best parts of the night, and I couldn't be more grateful that someone got it on video!! Highly highly recommend him to others!

I’m still in shock by how awesome these guys were. Kyle had people on the dance floor the entire night and it never died. He was on top of all the special dances, announcements, dedications, you name it. Would hire him all over again if I could. Thank you so much for one hell of a night!

David Wilner was our DJ/MC and he was very accommodating to our needs and really helped us feel comfortable with how the day would go. He was also very receptive to the fact that we are not very spotlight oriented. We were very happy to have David as our MC.

Sounds Abound is an excellent company to work with! We worked with them for both of our daughters’ Bat Mitzvahs. They communicated with me and gave us a choice of a few DJ’s. We chose Tony Ho as our DJ for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah!

Tony was truly amazing. He called us the next day. He was eager to set up an appointment to meet us. For the moment we met Tony all of us loved him! He was professional and personable. We felt like we knew him forever. My daughter was excited, but wasn’t sure about music selection and games. Tony gave us a huge variety of ideas!

He checked in with us throughout the planning process. If I asked him a question he got back to us immediately. On the day of the Bat Mitzvah he arrived over 2 hours early to do set up and make sure everything would go as planned. His music selections and games were perfect. He had all the adults and children dancing the entire time. The dance floor was never empty. I would recommend Tony to anyone for a Bat Mitzvah, wedding or other special event!!

Sounds Abound and Geoff Rafferty did our wedding and we absolutely loved them! We picked our own music and they kept the dance floor going! They took the time to get to know us (and we met with them 3 days before the wedding!) They were so wonderful to work with!!

Mike and I had Tony Ho be our DJ at our wedding! It was the best decision ever!! From the start Sounds Abounds was easy to work with, they answered all and every questions that we had in a timely manner. When we chose Tony to be our DJ he was easy to communicate with and work with. They have an online form you fill out about what songs you want. You go over it with your DJ, how easy is that!? Our wedding date was April 27 and the weather was far from perfect! When we got to the reception for cocktail hour, the party had begun and it felt as if no one cared about the weather. From start to finish Tony knew how to get our guests on the dance floor! And the night went off without a hitch! We would 100% recommend Sounds abounds and Tony Ho!!

Mike and I also did the photo booth with our DJ- it was a big hit at the wedding! They even give you copies of everyone that goes into it through out the night! That will be fun to look back on as anniversary’s come up :). The photo booth was worth every penny!

Brian K. was awesome! He was very professional, knowledgeable, and his selection of songs was perfect for our guests. He did a great job of MC'ing the reception and was very accommodating of our preferences, including last-minute changes. I would highly recommend him to others!

Craig Mohler was the DJ at our wedding. He was awesome. His communication with us was great! We met with him a couple of times before the wedding. He listened to our vision and made a few very helpful suggestions. Our wedding was perfect! Craig was intricate in keeping the night running smoothly. The music was exactly What we wanted. The dance floor was full all night. People are still talking about how much fun they had. We are so grateful to Craig and Sounds Abound for helping us make our day more than we could have hoped for!

Sounds Abound was everything they promised to be. Our DJ and music helped make our wedding reception an absolute blast. David Wilner was flawless in his presentation and he kept everyone on the dance floor, ALL NIGHT LONG! Everything from the initial consultation to any follow-ups​ was very professional and fun. The equipment that was used was current and provided excellent sound throughout the night. We can’t thank David (&Steve) enough for all of his help, expertise and ability to throw a great party!

We selected Matt Ammons as our MC for our wedding. Matt was truly phenomenal. He brought so much energy to our wedding. His music selections were on point all night and the dance floor was never empty. As a Bride you want your guests to have fun and keep the party going and Matt did just that all the way until 1 am. We could not have asked for a better DJ/MC!

This is the second time we have had Gregg Eisel and Sounds Abound at an event. We truly appreciate his professionalism and the way he “got the party started.” The entire process from meeting and planning with Gregg to the event, was seamless. He was very accommodating and flexible with our requests. We highly recommend Gregg Eisel and Sounds Abound for your next event. Dianne and Mary

Kyle is an AMAZING DJ! For our wedding he had the dance floor bumping all night long with his assistant Riz. Kyle did an awesome job at reading the crowd and knowing what songs to play. You can tell he truly enjoys his job and likes to see the whole wedding party happy. You can also tell how experienced he is- he is extremely professional and knows how to get the party started. Kyle met with us a week before our wedding to go over all details and make sure we were on the same page.He also helped with coming up for the timeline for speeches and dances which was extremely helpful. He did awesome with introductions and gave our wedding the feel we were looking for. Throughout the wedding planning process he always was prompt when responding to emails. Also, Kyle changed the uplighting to match the dancing vibes which was a nice touch. If you are looking for a fun, dance floor packed, and lively wedding then DJ Kyle is who you need!! We will be recommending him to all friends and family.

Our experience with Soundsabound was great. They have an awesome system to help you organize your event. Our DJ was Tony Ho. He was fantastic. He helped with the music selection and really kept the night moving. We would highly recommend them.

The initial meeting with Rufus was the beginning of a smooth planning process for DJ and photo booth. We especially liked the portal where we were able to submit song requests and other day-of logistics. Our dance floor was bumping all night, thanks to Rufus! We will never forget the great music / dancing memories, and we also have the silly/fun photo booth photo memories. Thanks Sounds Abound for helping make our wedding a dream come true!

Our wedding ended up being AMAZING – Steve did such a fantastic job; our dance floor was completely packed the entire night. To the point where the last hour or so people were dancing around the dance floor because it was so full. We got so many compliments on how great the music was. We cannot thank him enough for making himself available to us!!

Tony Ho made our night magical. It was a night we will never forget.

Everything for our event went so well!! Everyone loved it! Ken did a great job as our Game Show Host and we really appreciate it! Thanks for everything!

We loved Sounds Abound! From setting up a time to talk all the way to the big day the whole staff was involved, responsive, and easy to work with! They made us feel like our wedding and happiness meant a lot not only to our DJ but to their whole office. We used Tony Ho for our DJ and we were so incredibly pleased with his services. I gave him almost no direction and he was able to read the room and provide an amazing night for all, my guests cannot stop talking about how amazing he was!! Thank you so much for a magical night!!

Our experience with Sounds Abound was amazing from start to finish! We had Kyle as our DJ and he was awesome! He was great during the planning process and answered all of our questions. He checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were happy, and he was really good at reading the mood of the room! I have gotten a lot of complements on the music and DJ. We are very happy we used Sounds Abound and would do it all over again!

Rufus was amazing!!! He made our night delightful!!! It was one of the best parts of our celebration, and I’m so glad we chose them! Couldn’t recommend them more!

Our experience with Soundsabound exceeded our expectations! DJ Gregg Eisel was approachable and easy to communicate with. He did a great job staying organized, was on schedule throughout the night, and was very friendly.
Our guests never left the dance floor!!

Sounds Abound was great!! We loved that you can choose a DJ amongst a long list to find someone to fit your personality. Our DJ was Geoff R. and he was an awesome DJ! We wanted to play a good mix of Spanish music and he was able to meet our request perfectly. He also took the time to meet with us before the wedding to make sure everything was in the right order. We also asked for him to do the shoe game (where bride and groom hold up either the bride or the groom's shoes to answer questions) and it was perfect! Lots of compliments on the game. Thanks for being an awesome DJ! We have already recommended Sounds Abound multiple times.

Rufus was the DJ for our wedding. He was absolutely amazing! From meeting prior to the wedding and setting up our wedding page to the day of, everything was perfect. We had certain songs we wanted played and they made sure to follow through. The dance floor was always busy and they were great at announcing our entrance and other special moments. 100% Recommend!

We had David Wilner as our MC/DJ for our 11/17/18 wedding, and could not have been happier! David made us feel extremely reassured and at ease throughout our wedding process. We received sooo many compliments about him. David offered us excellent ideas and advice for our music and sequence of events. Our wedding would not have been as fun and gone as smoothly without him!

Gah, Tony Ho was awesome as our DJ!! He was super accommodating and amazing to work with, and was totally determined to make our wedding vision a reality. He was willing to meet with us to discuss details, and was always available by email or text. Tony kept our guests dancing all night long, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!

Rufus was our DJ in October at Noah’s event venue. I don’t know what we would have done without him! He ensured that we stayed on schedule (and even politely hurried along speeches that were getting way too long). Thank you so much for all of your hard work! You and the other DJ!

We had Kyle as our DJ and he was amazing. Not only did he answer our many emails and phone calls, he also made sure we were doing ok during the wedding itself. The music selection was amazing and the song transitions were done in a way that made a lot of sense. I would recommend Sounds Abounds and Kyle to anyone that asks.

You never think when you are planning a wedding how integral the DJ is. Usually the first priority is booking your venue and photographer and getting your wedding dress. My sister and I both got married this year 6 months apart so we were using the same vendors for both weddings. She had booked her DJ with Admit 1 DJ and her wedding turned into a complete disaster because of the DJ. I had also booked Admit 1 for my wedding in December 2018. However, after I saw what happened at my sister's wedding in July. I knew I had to find another company. I searched on yelp and the name Sounds Abound came up and I kept seeing the name Tony Ho come up in many reviews. So I met with the company and I was amazed at how genuine this company was. They don't require you to pay everything up front and they also say you can cancel within 2 weeks of your wedding and get all your money back. Below is the letter I just emailed Tony (my DJ).

Hi Tony,

I wanted to say a huge thank you to you for making our big day run so smoothly. When I first walked into Sounds Abound, I was skeptical because I had such a terrible experience with the other DJ company. Thank you for your phone meetings and email correspondences throughout the last few months. You really made me feel much more comfortable and at ease about my wedding day. I can tell that you looked at the playlist I had created and I remember hearing several songs that I loved all throughout the night. Thank you for being so nice about taking requests from everyone in our family. Our dance floor was packed the entire night which was what I was really hoping for. You did an outstanding job and I heard so many compliments all throughout the night on the music. Thank you so much in making our day go so smoothly.

We chose Sounds Abound for our wedding on November 2nd, and could not be more happy with them. From our consultation, all the way to the wedding, we felt like we had made the right choice. All of the staff that we met were really nice and helpful and all of our options were presented very well. Planning our event on their website was so convenient and made the experience fun and not stressful at all. We chose David Wilner as our DJ and are very happy that we did. David took the time to get to know us and truly made our day extra special. He ensured us that on the day of the wedding he would keep us informed and direct us around as needed so that we always knew what was going on. This took a lot of stress off of us and allowed us to really enjoy the day. We have received numerous complements from our guests about how great the DJ staff was. We would 100% recommend David and Sounds Abound for your event.

Sounds Abound was a wonderful company to work with, but I want to give a special shout out to their DJ Tony Ho. He has such a fun and outgoing personality and you can tell he wants to do everything possible to make your wedding day special. He accommodated not only our song requests, but he was also willing to hand over the mic and allow one of our guest to announce the wedding party into the reception. At one point during the evening, I unfortunately ended up getting sick but Tony kept the party going until I was able to "make my comeback." He even held off playing all of my must play songs until I made it back to the reception AND made sure the my husband and I were still able to have our first dance (which he managed to take a picture of and sent it to my husband and I the next day). The guests barely even noticed I was missing because they were having so much fun partying with Tony!! Tony Ho is an incredible DJ and if you are looking for an super fun and overall genuine and nice guy, he should absolutely be your DJ. Thanks for everything Tony and Sounds Abound!!!!

Hi Rufus
Thank you for the tremendous job you did DJing for our holiday party on Tuesday. The staff  in attendance RAVED about you! I look forward to working with you next year!

My wife and I requested to have Vincenzo Marrone, DJ our wedding. We couldn't have been happier that he did.
Vincenzo was very professional, and met with Megan and myself at the beginning of the reception to make sure that everything was still good to go for what we had discussed prior. He double checked on how to pronounce all the names involved to make sure no one was offended or put off.
While we gave him plenty of music to play the whole night, he swapped some in and out that complemented the rest of the playlist perfectly. There wasn't a single song that out of place.
Vincenzo did a fantastic job of keeping everyone dancing.
The night was amazing.

We had the pleasure of working with Tony Ho, and are so glad we did! Tony made sure all our questions were answered before we booked, and he worked with us for a year to fine tune what we wanted on our day. At the actual wedding and reception he was professional, fun, and always exactly where he needed to be. We can't thank him enough for catering to our interesting crowd of very mixed musical interests at the reception (Time Warp?!? YAS). Tony, you are a ROCKSTAR!

Our DJ Tony was fantastic! He was responsive, catered to our individual music tastes, and made adjustments based on our requests on the wedding day. He was super sweet and sent us several pictures of us dancing and the cake after the wedding. When nobody understood the cupid shuffle at the beginning of the dancing, he stepped in and showed everyone what to do! Would highly recommend.

AMAZING. Rufus had our guests dancing all night long. He was so helpful throughout the planning and the night. Rufus is a rockstar!! Thank you for an amazing night!! The photo booth attendant was so fun and interactive with our guests. He made sure to keep our pictures to hand to us at the end of the night, along with a USB of all the pictures. Thank you!!

The team was great during the planning process and leading up to the wedding. Gary was our DJ and working with him was great. Everyone loved him at the wedding and the dance floor was filled the whole evening! Would definitely recommend Sounds Abound!

Keith Talaga was the DJ at our wedding on November 9th. I cannot thank Keith enough! He made sure the day ran so smoothly and made everything easy for us! We gave him some song suggestions, but, outside of that, told him that he could play whatever he saw fit. The dance floor was packed the whole night and I got so many compliments on the song selections! Thank you Keith for being the best DJ there is!

We recently got married at the beautiful Haight in Elgin. Mere seconds into watching Rufus Cathey's video profile, we knew he was the right DJ for the job!  High energy, exceptional professionalism, and just a pure joy to work with. He was receptive to what we wanted for the song lists, and had amazing suggestions to fill in any gaps. Rufus knew how to read the room the whole night and kept the party going with perfect flow from song to song. We received nothing but glowing compliments about him from all of our guests! The photobooth was a perfect addition to the night as well, and everyone had a blast with it. We definitely recommend Sounds Abound, and Rufus in particular, for your next event!

I could not have been more impressed with Rufus and the Sounds Abound team! I had to reschedule our final call to 5 days before the wedding and barely filled out the online planner so I was a bit nervous going into the night. I told our DJ I wanted classic rock, and throwback, early 2000’s pop that everyone can sing along to and boy did they deliver. All of our guests raved about the music and people never left the dance floor for almost 3 hours. Could not have been more pleased! And bless our DJ for dealing with me cancelling our calls more than once!

Sounds Abound (Kyle) had the whole party dancing the entire night. He was incredible and people could not stop telling us how good they were. I would recommend Kyle to anyone, he was able to read the room and play the right music.

Ken,
The members of Naperville Country Club love having you perform at our events.  Whether you're performing solo or with your group, the members always make it a point to come out when you are on the schedule.  Your range of music is incredible, and I am always impressed with how fast you can “vibe” with the crowd so as to pick musical favorites that the members and their guests want to hear.
I would be more than happy to serve as a reference and would give my whole hearted recommendations to anyone looking to have you perform at an event.

Matt was a great DJ at our wedding. He kept the party going and was very attentive to all of ours and guests needs. Everyone had a great time and loved the music and atmosphere thanks to Matt!

Matt
You were the most amazing MC & DJ for our wedding - thank you so much for everything! You were so effortless to work with and our wedding was perfect! From the ceremony that flowed so beautifully - to our intro's at the reception, and everyone dancing all night long - it was such a blast! We couldn't have had the best wedding ever without you! Thank you!

Keith Talaga was the DJ we selected from Sounds Abound Entertainment. The day of the wedding Keith's assistant Ronnie was there helping make sure everything from ceremony to dancing ran smoothly. Keith was very professional and easy to talk to. After meeting with him we were confident in his abilities. He answered all of our questions and was easy to get in contact with. He utilized our music selections while mixing in guest requests and kept are guests entertained all night long! I'd highly recommend Keith!

Hi Gregg,
Thank you so much for your awesome skills last night. It is a pleasure to work with you and thank you for being a great long time partner.
The room looked beautiful and people loved the music!
Thanks again!

From the second that we met Tony, we knew he was the guy for the job. He is very personable, professional, and has an amazing contagious smile and personality. He kept in contact with us throughout the entire planning process and the day of the wedding. He even went above and beyond on the day of the wedding by improvising with a separate vendor that was having an issue.

Great guy, great performance, great day!

My wedding was at White Eagle Golf Club and Keith was my DJ. He was the absolute best DJ I have ever had! He was so friendly and personable! I will consider Sounds Abound again for any future event and recommend it to all my friends and all couples getting married that I know! Made my wedding the best day I’ve ever had!!!!

Tony was wonderful, amiable and helpful. He did a great job adjusting our unique music tastes to what the wedding guests would have most wanted. He was fun and energetic, and everyone had a great time! Most specifically loved how Tony and Sounds Abound were both communicative, helpful and professional leading up to the wedding.

Highly recommend Keith Talaga! He was so easy to work with - we were even texting him to ask questions. He is super personable and did an amazing job at our wedding. We received so many compliments on the variety of music he played, even my friends wanted to use him for their wedding. If you have the option, choose Keith!

We recently celebrated our wedding at Warehouse 109 and Our Dj Kyle brought the house down ! Right from the beginning sounds abound was great to work with and we choose Kyle for our big day ! He was so easy to work with , he was excited for our music choices and so helpful ! We had a smaller sized wedding and he read the vibe and totAlly had everyone in a great party mood ! I have such a blast ! Thank you so much Kyle for being apart of it !

Look no further for DJ needs. Our wedding was perfect and we received many compliments on Rufus. Our dance floor was grooving all the way until midnight!

We used Matt Ammons from Sounds Abound, and we could not have been happier. Matt (and Sounds Abound) were very professional and accommodating. We live out of state and could not meet in person prior to the wedding day, but were able to communicate and set everything up via email and phone. Matt made sure everything at the reception went smoothly and timely. He took our song preferences and "must plays" and made an amazing playlist for the entire evening. He had people on the dance floor all night! We highly recommend using Sounds Abound for your DJ needs.

We loved our DJ! Love their website that made it super easy to make all our selections ahead of time and set up everything for the ceremony. Rufus, our DJ was amazing! He was very professional and took care of everything with minimal work from our end. His music selection was based on our playlist and a short phone conversation we had about the type of music I like and I couldn't have picked a better selection myself. We loved all the songs and danced all night! Great work here for a reasonable price!

Rufus is the BEST!!! We were recommended by my maid of honor and it was one of the best vendor decisions we made! He had everyone on the dance floor all night long! He was extremely helpful with our reception timeline and he even helped us avoid unwanted music requests & a toast at the reception. There is no one better or more professional!! The whole process with Sounds Abound is awesome from their music request portal to the quality of their equipment! Book now you won't regret it! 🙂

Really happy we chose Sounds Abound and Geoff as the DJ for our wedding in August! Geoff did a great job with communicating with us throughout the planning process, making sure he understood our hopes and our requests for the music at our reception. He was great with announcing the wedding party and the speeches, and keeping the dance floor moving! The dinner service from our caterer was slow and got the reception behind schedule, and Geoff checked in with me just enough to make sure we kept things moving. We did end up losing an hour of dancing because of dinner and long speeches, but Geoff was awesome with making great song choices for our more limited dance time, making it totally worth it!!

We were very happy with Sounds Abound and our DJ Jason! Jason was very organized and was great at responding to our questions in a timely manner. When we met him in person, it was apparent he had spent time reviewing our file/website to ensure our wedding would be amazing. Jason had the dance floor full the entire night and he was able to get a feel of the music genres our guests were enjoying. Sounds Abound’s client portal is very user friendly and helped keep our music selection organized. We recommend Sounds Abound & Jason to anyone looking to make their event/reception memorable!

Geoff was wonderful! So professional, easy to work with, and fun! Any song we found or wanted they were able to get for us, even more unknown artists. Our wedding had a lot of close family, so quite a few elderly people, and even they came on the dance floor! My sister is using them for her wedding too! My husband and I both would highly recommend them!

We used Sounds Abound for our wedding reception. The online portal for planning made the whole process so easy! We got the opportunity to work with Tony Ho and he was AMAZING! So professional, friendly, and fun to work with. He made sure we had everything we wanted and did an awesome job keeping people on the dance floor all night. We would 100% recommend Sounds Abound! Thank you, Sounds Abound and Tony for making our wedding such a blast!

Finding a DJ was the most important and most daunting task for me when it came to planning my wedding. Not only am I obsessed with music, but the energy of the DJ sets the entire tone for the wedding and whether or not your guests enjoy themselves, which was my top priority! Sounds Abound had the right package for the right price, and my husband and I were so happy with what was included (uplighting, full dj services from 4-11pm, plus two hours of setup time, picking your own DJ, etc.) But then the hard part came: picking which DJ was right for us. I am an Egyptian-American and my guest list was very eclectic, as was my music taste. Tony Ho instantly impressed us with his charisma, his energy, and his infectious smile. His experience with multicultural weddings sealed the deal for me. I started planning 18 months in advance, and Tony was incredibly patient and responsive through the entire process. He worked flawlessly with our other vendors and had even worked with my photographer and venue several times before. He coordinated perfectly with our belly dancers, and gave them a great introduction! My husband and I liked Tony more and more with each meeting, text message, and email. He was so friendly and accommodating and he made me feel like he genuinely cared about making our wedding special and exactly the way we envisioned it. I literally gave Tony a color-coded spreadsheet with music for every second of the day, complete with plenty of notes and special requests. Never once did Tony express annoyance or frustration with my frequent changes and concerns, and he made me feel so comfortable reaching out to him with anything I needed. Tony even made some fun suggestions for our quirky ceremony that truly made it unforgettable, and our guests are still talking about it. Working with Tony was like working with a long time friend, and I will forever be grateful for how much he invested in making our wedding perfect for us. The dance floor was never empty, and a smile never left my face! He even snapped some great photos that he sent us right away! Do yourself a favor and get Tony for your wedding, you'll thank me later!

We had Rufus DJ and do uplights for our wedding in August and we couldn't have been happier. We met with him a few times prior to the wedding and he really helped us with our song choices for the ceremony and introductions.
The night of the event he did everything we asked him to do and more! Played all of our songs on our playlist and used very good judgement on requests. I would definitely use Sounds Abound and Rufus again for any event.

Our DJ Gregg was great, the dance floor at our wedding was never empty. He did say we had the perfect playlist and that he had never seen so many people all night on the dance floor. It’s the most important thing you can ask from the DJ, so thanks Sounds Abound and Gregg for an unforgettable night!!

Gregg is extremely professional. We were quite pleased! He took the time to meet with us after reviewing the selections we’d made to the website in order to get a good idea of our music preferences. In the meeting, he made some suggestions based on that information. Days before our wedding, he followed up to review and make sure that all was in order. At our reception venue, he was set up and organized in a timely manner and kept our guests dancing the entire evening!

I cannot say enough about Sounds Abound, specifically the DJ we worked with, Tony Ho. Tony was extremely involved from the start and was very responsive to virtually any request we had up until the night before the wedding. He was always available via email and text, often reaching out to express his excitement for our big day. Our wedding was at The Herrington in Geneva, and, since Sounds Abound is listed as a preferred vendor, Tony was very familiar with the venue and where to set up his equipment which made our lives so much easier. We also rented the open-air photo booth for the night, which was a huge hit! Thank you to the Sounds Abound team and to Tony Ho for being the best wedding DJ we've ever seen.

Tony was Amazing! He kept the Dance Floor Moving, and everyone loved him! I could not have asked for a better wedding DJ. He played all our special requests and knew when to throw in some crowd pleasers to get the dance floor moving. Highly Recommend!

Sounds Abound provided us with everything we needed for our wedding! Matt Ammons was an incredible DJ! Sounds Abound was a great choice and I would recommend this company to everyone for a party! Thank you very much for helping make my wedding a night to remember!!

David did a fantastic job taking care of us on our big day. He took the time to make sure we understood the flow of the reception so there were no surprises. He had great insight on how to keep the dance floor full AND was a spectacular MC. His services were above and beyond in every aspect.

We received several compliments throughout the evening on our DJ selection and one couple even let us know they intend to book him for their upcoming wedding. Thank you again David for helping make our wedding unforgettable.

DJ Rufus was an amazing DJ for our wedding. He was very organized and knew how to keep the guest happy and dancing. Our dance floor was never empty after dinner! Rufus was very kind and light-hearted. All of my guest had a blast and said they have never had so much fun at a wedding. I highly recommend Sounds Abound, especially DJ Rufus, for all your musical needs.

Geoff was the DJ at our wedding and he was AMAZING! He made the planning process super easy and had great energy the night of our event. He put together a fantastic playlist for our cocktail hour and reception. We received a TON of compliments on the songs he played as well as the attitude he had the entire length of our event. We, and all of our guest, loved him!

Hi Gregg
Thank you!  You helped make our wedding very special.  We couldn't have asked for a better day and you were a huge part of making it all come together, so we really can't thank you enough.  We had many guests come up to us and compliment you & your assistant and how you were able to make the reception so fun but still uniquely representative of Alana & I.

Bill Said..
Thank you so much Gregg!  You did a fantastic job!  Everything was on point and what a special touch working with my Grandfathers music and bringing it to the party!  You are top notch and thanks to all at Sounds abound Entertainment!

Our DJ Geoff from Sounds Abound was awesome!! He knew exactly what we wanted to hear all night and definitely did a great job doing it! I danced the whole night because he played great music!! Did a great job with all the uplighting as well.

They were very professional... Jeff did a great job announcing and was really calm and friendly.

Tony Ho was our DJ for our wedding and he did a fantastic job! He kept people on the dance floor and accommodated our guest's requests! He did a great job with everything and had a great sense of humor! Highly recommend!

Last year, I saw Jason Yach at one of our friends weddings and was truly impressed. Consequently, I ended up calling Sounds Abound right after that event and making sure he was available for our wedding. From the beginning, Jason made sure to touch base with us and set up a time to begin the planning process. Jason made sure we had a timeline in place and that everyone was on the same page for the day of our wedding. In a way, Jason was not just a DJ and MC, he was practically a wedding coordinator as well. Not to mention, the dance floor at our wedding was truly packed the entire night! I could not believe how many people came up to us after the wedding to tell me that this was THE BEST dance floor they have ever seen at a wedding! Most importantly though, I feel like Jason truly cared about us as a couple and poured his heart and soul into the wedding and making sure we were happy that night. Thank you Jason and Sounds Abound!

We got married in December and had Kyle Overbey as our DJ. We weren't sure how our guests would do on the dance floor, but wow were we shocked! Kyle had the floor packed all night! We gave him a limited playlist as we knew that he knows what works more than we do. He had people I never would have expected on the dance floor! He was a great MC and really kept the party going! When our wedding ended at midnight, we estimated that we still had 60-70 people on the dance floor. We could have kept the party going for a lot longer!

He worked with some mysterious members of our bridal party to play a traditional song that ended our high school dances and was able to get everyone to participate. It was simply amazing and so meaningful for us!

We had a brunch at our house the next day, and guests couldn't stop talking about how great the music was. They commented that they've been to weddings in the past that only play the latest hits that many of the middle aged and older guests don't recognize. Kyle played songs that everyone would know. When he played "Shout", people absolutely swarmed the dance floor. It was so memorable.

Pricing is very affordable for the quality of the work. We would strongly suggest everyone use Sounds Abound. Judging from all the reviews, we doubt you can go wrong with any of the DJs, but we have to recommend Kyle as he was a huge reason our reception was such a success.

We got married in the beginning of February and we had Kyle Overbey as our DJ. We wanted to make sure that there was a good mix of new and old music for all of our wedding guests. Kyle KILLED IT! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. He played such a good mixture of music and made sure not to play any on my do not playlist. There were guests on the dance floor that we never imagined dancing! Our wedding ended at midnight with the song "Friends in Low Places" and I couldn't believe how many people were still on the dance floor. We also had a photo booth from sounds abound. Every time we went back by the photo booth there were always people in it. It was a huge hit, especially with all of the fun props. The next day, we went to lunch with our friends and family and everyone could not stop talking about how great the music and photo booth were. Kyle and his team were amazing and made our wedding reception a success!!

We could not have been happier with our DJ -- Jeff Wells.  He was a pleasure to work with and took time to meet with us twice to coordinate the music for our wedding reception.  Not only did he have great ideas for music to accommodate our diverse group of guests, but he also played the music that was important to the bride and groom.  He kept the dance floor full for the entire evening!  We would highly recommend Jeff Wells for any event!

We cannot thank our DJ Craig Mohler and his daughter enough for creating literally the best mix of music at our wedding. I would recommend this DJ company and especially Craig for any wedding ever. Thanks and lots of love!

Keith T was amazing! He was so attentive to me and making sure I was happy throughout the night. Very organized and great personality. He knew how to read the crowd and make sure people were dancing. Super happy with this company and highly recommended. He even took a song I wanted for my bridesmaids walk down the aisle and slowed it down so it fit perfectly. He had the proof to me in 1 day!

Loved Sounds Abound. Jason Yach was our DJ and he was great from the get-go. I appreciate the time and considerations he took given our unique situation. Our wedding was wonderful and practically seamless which you can't do without a good MC! The rest of the team from Rufus to Kyle to Matt Ammons to Geoff - everyone works well together and were always quick to respond to calls/emails and address any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend Sounds Abound for any event and will look to them in the future should needs arise!

I can't say enough about the job Rufus and his team did during our wedding. The online event manager was so easy to use and Rufus was great to work with. He even met with us a week out from our wedding to go over all of the details and helped us to plan a special cocktail hour playlist. Rufus kept the dance floor packed from the moment the dance floor opened until the last song was played. We've gotten so many compliments on the music and the vibe in the room-we've even referred Sounds Abound/Rufus to others who are planning weddings! We also had added the premium photo booth to our package and had such a great time. Our guests were taking advantage of the booth from cocktail hour through the end of the reception. We have so many pictures that we ended up getting two flash drives at the end of the night full of all of the shots taken. At the last minute we also added uplighting to our package which really created a special ambiance in the room. I can't recommend Sounds Abound and Rufus enough!

Potentially the best decision we made in terms of our wedding was booking Tony Ho from Sounds Abound. He is literally the best DJ I have ever encountered!!! I received numerous comments about how wonderful he was throughout the wedding night. People were like "I didn't know wedding DJs could be this good." 3 months after the wedding, people still talk about how awesome he was. Our wedding was LOADS of fun, and that is largely due to Tony!! He was very accommodating; he did a great job playing music that my groom and I like. He chose great songs, and he kept the dance floor bumping literally all night!!! My grandparents were out on the dance floor, and so were my college friends. I don't know how he does it. Also, Sounds Abound as a company was super easy to work with, and it seems like their DJs really know what they are doing. Tony himself was hilarious, kind, encouraging, and super pleasant to work with. By the end of the process, we were friends. I cannot say good enough things about Tony. Book him if you want a stellar DJ who is talented, fun, and caring!!

Beyond blessed! Tony Ho and his assistant made our wedding a true party. They were absolutely incredible with everything. I would totally recommend Sounds Abound to any bride and especially recommend Tony to anyone that wants an above and beyond DJ! They were professional and still fun, fantastic MC, and we could not have dreamed of it any better. Thank you Tony, and Sounds Abound!

Gary,
Thanks to you and your team for making Caitlin and Joey's wedding special this past weekend at the Haight. We appreciate all the work you put into it. They were pleased with how it all came together.

Very nice and helpful owner, they provide variety of service packages at a reasonable rates also do arrangements for the event. DJ Rizwan from Sound Abound was amazing playing music from different back grounds.

Sounds Abound with Tony Ho rocked out wedding! From the get go we were able to view clips of all the DJs. But from our vendor's recommendation to how the company described Tony Ho, we knew we wanted him! Sure enough we met a few months before our wedding and he took solid time going over every detail to ensure our song choice would be included. We had a diverse wedding and he played all our choices and more...our guests were pleased. As were my husband and I! I told Tony after that I wish I had another event to plan because I want to enjoy his music and company again! Great guy with high personality. Thanks Tony!

What can I say? My daughter's wedding would not have been a complete celebration without Tony Ho running the show. Sounds Abound is the full package. From the excellent customer service from Rufus at the front desk,to our meeting with Tony where he got who we were right away,to the last song and everything in between, it was so smooth and easy. I can't see why anyone would even look anywhere else for a dj. Thank you Sounds Abound and TONY for your excellent service while making it fun. I would give you ten stars!

If you want your dance floor packed the entire night of your wedding, you need to book TONY HO! His energy and laugh are very contagious! One of our priorities of the wedding was to make sure the dance floor was filled and people were dancing all night long. That is exactly what we got - he made it the best party ever! Tony was very responsive throughout the whole planning process, especially the last few days leading up to the wedding. He communicates well with other vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page. He listened to what we wanted and understood us completely! On the event day, he was very professional and made sure we were having fun. There were a few moments where he needed to improvise and he handled it so smoothly. Our wedding day would not have been the same without him. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tony! He will not disappoint.

I recently got married on 8-18-18 and we hired Sounds Abound for our music. We hired Geoff and he was terrific. We gave him a list of songs with different music that we liked and he took it from there. He was very professional, and had our dance floor full the entire night. I would highly recommend this company as well as Geoff our wedding and reception was beautiful.

Rufus,
We can't thank you enough for making our wedding the most memorable night of our lives. From making sure all of our song choices were played at the right time during the outdoor ceremony, to the individualized introductions for our wedding party, to keeping the dance floor alive all night long, you truly made our wedding day and night perfect. Everyone kept asking us how we found Sounds Abound and complimented how well you catered to all of our guests. You played music that LITERALLY KEPT THE DANCE FLOOR FULL... THE ENTIRE TIME. The only time that it was not full was when we did our first dance and dances with our parents. We also can't thank you enough for staying longer because our wedding began an hour late. You kept the party alive and made sure that all of our ideas and details came alive. Even though we could have picked another DJ, we would because of how thoughtful and meticulous to detail you were. You were understanding of our wants and needs for the day and went above and beyond what we would have imagined for our music. Even a few months later, our guests still talk about how awesome our DJ was and how they have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was constantly that packed. Thank you for your excellent service! We already have recommended you to our friends and will continue doing so!

A friend recommended Sounds Abound for a DJ to use as our MC/DJ for our wedding. We watched a couple of the sample videos and picked Craig Mohler because of his personality and presence he creates for the room. After meeting him we knew we made the right choice. He made us feel confident in his ability to make our wedding day special for us and made sure we were the top priority. Everyone had a great time and was very complimentary towards Craig for his efforts. We can't thanks Sounds Abound and Craig for making our wedding reception a truly unforgettable night.

Matt Ammons DJ’ed our wedding in May 2018 at Elements Event Venue in Naperville and we could not have been happier. A few weeks before our wedding Matt met with us to get to know us better, go over the timeline for our wedding day and to discuss our song choices. Matt was engaging and very detail oriented, we appreciated how much he wanted to ensure he was pronouncing our wedding party members names correctly. During the meeting we discussed our “must plays”, “do not plays” and gave Matt a general idea of what kind of music we would like played during the wedding. The day of our wedding he did an excellent job coordinating with our venue planner, keeping us on schedule with our timeline and most importantly keeping the dance floor packed. We felt bad that we only gave him a general sense of what we would want played but he took that and knocked it out of the park. He did an excellent job reading the crowd, playing the classic wedding songs early on and keeping it up-tempo with newer hits and mixing in our favorite throwbacks for the latter part of the night. We were very pleased with our experience with Sounds Abound. Their pricing is fair, their staff is responsive and they have a straightforward online planning tool to help select your songs. We would highly recommend Sounds Abound and DJ Matt Ammons to any of our family and friends.

Keith,
Thank you so much for DJing our wedding reception! Your music selections were exactly what we wanted and your ability to keep the dance floor filled the entire night was incredible. We can't tell you the number of compliments we have received from our friends and family about the dance floor and music that was played. Thank you again for helping to make our wedding such an amazing day!

Craig was excellent for our July 2018 wedding. Unfortunately for me as the bride I had been sick all week and didn’t make it past 10ish on my wedding day. Craig kept all my friends and family on the dance floor and I had nothing but wonderful comments and videos from friends and family. It was almost like I was on the dance floor with them 😜 I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience with Sounds Abound for our May 25, 2018 wedding. They were extremely professional from the beginning and Rufus and his assistant did a wonderful job making sure everything went smoothly the day of the wedding! I enjoyed the online music planner and being able to plan our music requests ahead of time. I would highly recommend this company for your DJ needs!

We hired Tony Ho for my daughters wedding...I must say he totally delivered! If you want a DJ that is energetic..loves a crowd..and knows how to get a party going...Tony is your man! He is polite..respectful..and will not disappoint..our guests were coming up to my wife and I all night..raving about Tony!! Thank you again Tony..you are my man!

We chose Tony Ho as our wedding DJ and could not have been happier with our decision. When it came to our group of wedding vendors, Tony was truly the MVP. From the very start, Tony made himself easily accessible to answer any questions or address concerns and would oftentimes reply almost instantaneously. We live in Arizona, and Tony was extremely accommodating with arranging his schedule so that we could meet when we were in town for wedding planning a few months before our Big Day. In the weeks leading up to our wedding day, Tony would frequently e-mail or text us to check in to see how things were going and if we needed anything. He also took it upon himself to reach out to our venue's event coordinator to discuss details related to the event space. Tony has a contagious energy that is impossible not to love, but also a calmness about him that truly put us at ease on our wedding day. He frequently checked in with us during our wedding, but not in an intrusive way, to ensure everything was going to plan, and even took some time to snap some fun photos of us on his iPhone, which he kindly sent us the next morning. Many of our guests complimented on what an amazing DJ he was, and we most certainly agree! Our only complaint is that we don't live in Chicago and therefore won't be able to hire Tony for our DJ for future events. If you have spent countless hours reading reviews on wedding DJs, stop your search right now and hire DJ Tony Ho of Sounds Abound Entertainment--you will not be sorry!

Everything was perfect! Kyle was an amazing MC and played the music we liked (along with requests). He kept everybody dancing all night! He also provided sound for our ceremony which was a last minute emergency after our other sound person fell through, so we couldn't be happier for his help and the fantastic service!

We never stopped dancing at our reception! Keith was amazing, he was able to read our crowd and keep everyone having an awesome time! He was professional and prompt. He honored all of our requests and found all of our specific song requests. It was an amazing day and Keith was truly a huge part of it. We got so many compliments about him from our guests. Thank you!!

We gave Geoff a lot of free reign within some general guidelines. He made fantastic music selections, and read the crowd incredibly well. Towards the end of the night, he saw the demographic of the dancers and tuned the music for their generation. The energy was great all night, and we never expected that the dance floor would be so crowded for so long. He was incredibly flexible when I wanted to surprise everyone (including my wife) by playing my guitar and singing a song for my wife. He came through with all of the sound equipment and it couldn't have gone smoother. I have heard endless compliments for him from all of our guests.

Gregg at Sounds Abound was fantastic! He has done three of my friends weddings, and music is so very important for the whole feeling of the night, that we had no hesitation in hiring the best! He really spent time talking to us beforehand to get a sense of what type of music we liked and what type we didn't like, as well as did a great job going with the flow of the evening. He even changed the dinner music to reflect our speeches! However, most importantly, you could tell he loved what he did. Would highly recommend!

I am so glad we went with Sounds Abound for our wedding! We highly recommend Vince as he was the perfect DJ for our group. He gave us a call about a week before our wedding to get to know us and learn what types of music we liked. Vince and his partner were troopers, entertaining in the 100 degree heat while creating the most incredible night for us. Despite the high temps they managed to keep everyone dancing. We politely asked him to keep the mic time to a minimum. He was great at introducing our bridal party into the reception, announcing speeches, cake cutting, first dances and then left the rest of the night to playing the best music. They mixed the perfect songs together and it kept everyone on the dance floor wanting more!

Thanks for supplying the DJ/Entertainment for our annual July 4 Fun Run and Walk.  Jeff Wells, The DJ, was great.  He has worked our event before and knows what he is doing.  He’s on time, announces our sponsors and announces anything that we ask of him.  He has a positive, happy attitude about him.
Thanks again,

Gregg Eisel
It was great to work with him from the beginning. He came by recommendation and we cannot thank our contact enough for putting us in contact with him. He was very professional and he listenined to our requests and produced that and so much more. Our group consisted of married couples of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. Gregg handled the entire evening just like we visioned. it was obvious to us and to all that attended he enjoyed his work and took pride in all of his
music selections. We would highly recommend Gregg for any occasion.

Brides- do yourselves a favor and book this company. Sounds Abound was friendly and their website makes it super easy to pay and select your music. They are very easy to work with and professional while also being fun! Now onto our DJ. Rufus was EXCEPTIONAL. Our dance floor was packed the entire night by people of all ages. He truly felt the crowd and made it a night full of fun and entertainment.

Kyle, I know this is delayed but I wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for DJing our wedding last year. Everyone commented on how fun the wedding was and that was because you played the best music! Thank you so much! It was the best day of our lives and we danced the whole night thanks to you!

We had Geoff as our DJ for our wedding. He was awesome! The only thing I wanted for my wedding reception was for people to be dancing and my guests and I danced the night away. This was no ordinary wedding, our dance floor was PACKED! People danced all night and we had to expand outside of the dance floor because so many people were dancing. The songs the DJs played were fun and kept people of all ages on the dance floor. Everyone complimented our DJs and told us what a great time they had at the wedding. I would highly recommend using Sounds Abound for your wedding!

Keith. Thank you so much for making sure our wedding was on of the best dance parties ever! We truly had a blast and I it wouldn't have been possible without your help! I also appreciate the extra time you put into the "Dance With Yo daddy/My Girl" mash up! You kept it 'Rockin"!
We can't thank you enough for making our wedding so memorable. We got so many compliments on the music and it far exceeded our expectations.

Brian – you went above and beyond! From your work at the rehearsal, through the ceremony and the reception, you were amazing! Our ceremony was exactly what we had hoped it would be, from the Pachelbel-Rockelbel processional to the custom background for our vocalists. You were so nice, easy to work with, attentive, patient, on point, funny, and put out a wonderful mix at the reception.

Sheila said... 
FANTASTIC experience w/Sounds Abound and David Wilner (DJ) and assistants who staffed our event. Cannot recommend highly enough. We would rehire in a second and recommend!! Got everyone involved, super entertaining for guests of all ages!

We chose Larry Merkel to be our DJ because my best friend's family had also booked him for a wedding and she recommended him to me. There were so many things about the reception plan that were hard for me to figure out and I totally worried about them (like when exactly should the cake be cut??), but Larry helped me sort everything out. He was totally kind and I really appreciated that during the stressful days before the wedding. If I had to do my wedding over again, I would definitely book Larry Merkel again-- the only thing I would do differently is I would ask him questions much earlier than I did because he knew all the answers! I highly recommend him and Sounds Abound.

Rufus is a PHENOMENAL DJ! He literally had the dance floor completely packed the entire night. I had so many people come up to me saying the music was excellent and that they’ve never been to a wedding reception with this much dancing. This is all thanks to Rufus and his assistant. We had the greatest time dancing the entire night!! Highly HIGHLY recommend using Sounds Abound, especially Rufus!

Tony from Sounds Abound was awesome! He had to have music/audio set up in 3 separate places (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) and he moved seamlessly from each location without ever a break in the songs. Even though two of the locations were outside, everyone said you could hear the music and microphones so clearly. He reached out via text often to see if we had questions/requests.

My husband and I got married on May 26th 2018, and our reception was at NorthFork Farm. We had Sounds Abound as our DJ and I have to tell you, they were the ABSOLUTE BEST!
Craig Mohler was our DJ and  had the dance floor packed all night. Craig was in contact with us multiple times over the course of the planning process, especially closer to the event date and went over everything with us. He even gave us ideas of songs we could use when we were stuck and didn't know which way to go music wise.
Vince was our photo booth attendant and he was happy and helpful and a delight as well!
The music, photo booth, lights, and everything was perfect and I would use Sounds Abound for EVERY EVENT I THROW, if I had the money to do it! lol

Tony Ho was our D.J., and he did a great job! Our guests were out on the dance floor all night, and we heard nothing but compliments.

Geoff was our DJ for our wedding last week. He did an amazing job, was so easy to work with and kept our dance floor full the entire night! We had an amazing evening and couldn't have asked for anything more! Highly recommend Sounds Abound to anyone planning an event.

We had Tony Ho as our DJ. He was professional, fun, on-time, and easy to coordinate with (prior-to and during event). He did exactly as we had planned, and we absolutely loved the music. Planning with Sounds Abounds was easy because they have an online planning tool. We didn't live in the area we got married, so it was easy to do this online/over the phone and not have to meet in person. Highly recommend.

Geoff and Matt were excellent DJ's for our wedding. They were prompt and professional for the evening, and checked in with us during the event. They played all of our favorites, and kept the dance floor moving when the time came. We received so many complements on the evening, and the DJ was at the top of the list! Thank you guys for a wonderful night!

Kyle was our dj for our 4/27 wedding. We used Kyle because he was the dj for my sisters wedding in 2016 and he was great. He didn’t disappoint for our wedding either! We loved the online planner for choosing our must play songs. My husband is Greek and he gave Kyle a list of the Greek music he wanted played and Kyle was understanding with this too. On the day of, the weather started off perfect so we were doing an outdoor ceremony. The weather turned bad and started raining as everyone started walking down the aisle. We stopped everything and brought it indoors and Kyle and his assistant were so quick to take apart the equipment and set it up again, which was so very appreciated. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend Sounds Abound!

We had Keith DJ our wedding along with Tony. He was great finding the music we wanted leading up to the ceremony, reaching out to us to make sure nothing had changed, and leading us through the process start to finish. It was a great evening and great mix of music- our friends and family loved it, and so did we! Great to work with, accommodating, definitely recommend

My daughters’s wedding was a wonderful success and David Wilner, our DJ from Sounds Abound , helped make that happen.
David was professional and kept the dancing going until the very last song.
Thank you so much for your contribution on this special day.

Gregg
Nick and I just wanted to say thank you again. We had an amazing time last night, and a huge part of that was because of you! You kept the dance floor packed all night. We appreciate all of your hard work!

Gary
Andrew and I wanted to thank you for being a part of our wedding day. Everything was perfect! We also appreciate how easy it was to communicate and work with everyone in your office. Everyone was Great!

A little late, Kyle was the DJ for our wedding at Makray Memorial Golf Club in Barrington on October 20th, 2017. From the very beginning it was a pleasure working with Kyle. He tailored our playlist to us and was perfect at keeping in contact throughout the whole process. Our guests constantly raved about the music, the flow of things, and how Kyle got the crowd going all the time. We loved the music he chose for us as well as how he tied everything together to make it a wonderful and magical day. Thank you Kyle!!!

To be fair, we knew exactly what we were getting into when we hired David Wilner to DJ our November 4, 2017 wedding. Several of our friends have had him for their weddings and he has been phenomenal each & every time!
Not only is he the best the day of, he has been a part of so many events that he has a wealth of knowledge & really knows how to help in a very stressful time!
We had a few requirements when we started planning our wedding, good food & great music, and for his part, David went above & Beyond! We still have people complimenting him, he kept the dance floor full the whole reception and even accommodated some little ones asking to sing happy birthday to their grandma.
We could not have made a better decision in choosing David, and will recommend him to anyone who needs an amazing DJ.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so much fun and so memorable!

My husband and I used sounds abound for our wedding! They were amazing! We had Rufus as our DJ and he listened to everything I wanted, and was able to plan an awesome playlist based off what we wanted. Our dance floor was never empty, and We received loads of compliments on the music! Thank you for an awesome night!

We had Rufus and Greg (Assistant) for our November 11, 2017 wedding. We knew from the very first meeting that Rufus would be a perfect fit for our Irish-Italian wedding! Within minutes of meeting with Rufus, he had us laughing and at that time, we knew we were in good company!

We had multiple requests throughout our time planning the wedding such as: special father-daughter dance, special mother-son dance, a surprise for the guests, and incorporating music into the speeches/toasts. Rufus helped tremendously in making our crazy ideas a possibility and provided excellent suggestions to make it all happen. In addition, Rufus catered to our individual style as a couple. He was extremely professional, but still managed to make us feel comfortable. He never treated our appointments or meetings as business transactions, but instead, treated us like part of the Sounds Abound family.

Rufus and Greg did an outstanding job keeping the night running smoothly and on track. He incorporated many of our "must play" songs, but he also was able to "read the crowd" to keep the dance floor packed.

We are a few weeks past our beautiful wedding, and the most common compliment from our guests is how amazing the music and dj were...we are so grateful to have found Sounds Abound and Rufus!

P.S. If you are questioning using uplighting--do it! Sounds Abound supplies it and are in control of the lighting throughout the night---it was an excellent addition to create our perfect Autumn ambiance!

David, our DJ for our wedding at The Starline in Harvard, IL, was incredible! He incorporated all the songs we had requested and was very professional. We met with him a few weeks beforehand to discuss a game plan and he stuck to it the whole time. Not once did my wife and I worry about where we had to be or what we were doing because he stayed on task accordingly. I highly recommend using him for your next event!

Our DJ (Keith T.) was a pleasure to work with. His energy and song selection at the event was phenomenal!

We went with Sounds Abound for our wedding in July and could not be happier with our choice! We had Keith as our main DJ and he did a fantastic job! The dance floor was filled the entire night! We also got compliments from our photographers that Keith was extremely accommodating and made sure to communicate with the other vendors before announcing anything so that everything could be captured on camera. Before the wedding, we utilized the online planner and that was extremely helpful. It allowed Keith to know what type of music we wanted and ensured that certain songs were played. The entire experience with Sounds Abound, especially Keith, was excellent! I would definitely recommend them!

All I can tell you is that everything went very well.   Rufus did an outstanding job and I had a number of positive comments on the music he selected.   It was good that he set up early as we had a very busy program and it would have been awkward if he would have set up during the evening.

We have used Sounds Abounds for both of our daughters weddings. They are fantastic. Kept the party rolling, kept people on the dance floor and never tried to take over the wedding with too much talking. Most highly recommended!

WE USED SOUNDS ABOUND FOR OUR DJ COMPANY FOR OUR WEDDING IN OCTOBER. WE WERE REFERRED TO THEM FROM FRIENDS THAT USED THEM IN THE PAST. FROM THE BEGINNING THEY WERE GREAT. SUPER PROFESSIONAL AND ALL ABOUT US. SO WHEN IT CAME TIME TO PICK OUR DJ, THEY HAD A MEET AND GREET. I WALKED IN AND WAS ABOUT TO START SOCIALIZING WHEN ONE DJ CAME UP AND INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO ME (TONY HO). HIS PERSONALITY WAS ELECTRIC. HE WAS FUNNY AND SUPER PERSONABLE. I DIDNT HAVE TO LOOK ANY FURTHER. HE WAS GOING TO BE OUR DJ. FROM THAT POINT FORWARD TONY WAS GREAT. HE WAS SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT MUSIC AND WHAT WOULD WORK WELL FOR US. FAST FORWARD TO THE NIGHT OF...HE KILLED IT. KEPT THE SHOW ON TRACK AND ALL THE MUSIC CHOICES (WE GAVE HIM SOME FREEDOM) WERE PERFECT. AFTER ALL THE DETAILS OF THE WEDDING HE HAD THE WHOLE WEDDING ON THEIR FEET. KEPT THE NIGHT GOING WITH A GREAT MIX OF OLD, NEW, FAST AND SLOW JAMS. I DO NOT PLAN TO EVER GET MARRIED AGAIN BUT IF I HAVE TO, I HAVE MY DJ ALREADY PICKED OUT. THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING TONY (THE NINJA DJ) HO HAHA!!!

THE SUJAK'S (ROB & KELLY)

Sounds Abound was an amazing company to work with and was attentive to all of our questions. Tony Ho listened to our music vision and made it come alive. He was a lot of fun at the reception and we got several compliments from family/friends regarding Tony. We also had our uplighting and photo booth though them-- both were great! We really appreciate Tony helping us celebrate our special day!

Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Matt Ammons at Sounds Abound. Music was a high priority on our list, and we wanted the dance floor packed the entire night. Matt did just that! He was so easy to work with and made all of our requests possible. We had so many compliments on the music and we were so glad that everyone was out there dancing! Would highly recommend Matt or any one at Sounds Abound!

My wife and I chose Sounds Abound because of all the good reviews and recommendations we saw while organizing our wedding. We had Geoff as our DJ and we couldn't be happier. He did a fantastic job emceeing and was very accommodating to all our requests, he was even able to naturally work in special music requests that really had no place in a wedding reception! He was great and took a lot of the stress off of a pretty hectic time for both us. I would recommend Sounds Abound above anyone else!!

We had David Wilner as our DJ for our wedding, and we could not have been more happy with our choice to have him be a part of our vendor team!!! We absolutely LOVED David and we got numerous compliments about how excellent our DJ was! We love to dance and David helped to keep the energy alive all night long! I instantly knew that I needed to have David as my DJ after speaking to him on the phone for a general inquiry. He is extremely professional, responsive, and so wonderful and so easy to work with! He made wedding planning SO much easier with his confidence and wisdom after years of experience! Not to mention his online event planner that made it super easy to pick songs/overall vibes that you would like for your wedding. I planned my wedding in two different states and my fiance was deployed at the time, so the online event planner was amazing to have as an option!! David is such a great communicator and really helped with coordinating with the rest of my team about the timeline of my day!! He also takes the time to get to know you and what your wishes are for your overall mood that you're trying to create, and he truly made my wedding ceremony so beautiful and wedding reception so fun!! He gave me honest and helpful tips in selecting music based off my vibes I wanted for that day. I feel like I didn't really hit any bumps in the road during my wedding day and that's truly thanks to my incredible vendor team...David made everything flow so nicely the entire day and thought of things to address/communicate that I never thought of and took care of them so flawlessly! (He was our DJ for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception)...he also had our guests laughing throughout the reception with his wit!! I am 110% happy with the referral I got from my family member about DJ Sounds Abound and cannot wait to suggest him to future friends and family!! Our wedding day would not have been nearly as smooth and fun if it weren't for David and his team!!!! Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so perfect!! Hugs - Jenny + Sean

My husband and I booked our DJ Matt through Sounds Abound and could not have been happier! When we met with him beforehand, Matt really got to know us and listened to what we like and dislike about different weddings we have been to. He took the time to practice everyone's names to announce them properly, too, which we appreciated as we had some unique last names in our wedding party. Matt knew my fear was an empty dance floor and he kept the floor packed all night! My husband and I didn't skip one dance! He played exactly what we wanted-a mix of oldies, Motown, & some newer hits thrown into the mix at the perfect times. Matt was so wonderful at keeping the party and energy going, I was so impressed and pleased. He also helped us with some unique requests we had about how our bridal party would be announced, and what to do with glass clinking during dinner, and he was so helpful and made what we wanted happen. We were so pleased with Matt and with Sounds Abound and I would recommend them, and already have!, to anyone.

Dear Sounds Abound,

The one thing that truly can make or break a wedding is the DJ and every bride and groom wants to make sure their guests have a great time. Our DJ Keith was amazing to say the least. My husband and I knew from the beginning that we wanted a wedding that was going to be like no other wedding and we wanted a DJ that understood the type of music that we wanted to have played to keep our guests on the dance floor. We wanted all of our songs to flow from one to another and Keith did just that. Our guests were on the dance floor until the very end and I needed to kick them out so our venue could clean up. It was a non-stop party that no one wanted to end.

Sounds Abound is easy to work with and their online music selection portal made the whole process easy and stress free.

Chief Keith! We can't thank you enough for giving us the party that we had only dreamed about!

Jason Yach was our DJ for our wedding at Naperville Country Club. We could not have had a better experience with Sounds Abound and Jason. Jason was so professional and kept the dance floor going all night. He played all the songs we requested and also played songs that our attendants were sure to dance to. He made sure that the whole night went smoothly. We had no doubt after our initial meeting with him that he would be great. I would recommend Sounds Abound, particularly, Jason to anyone looking for a DJ. We received multiple compliments about how great the music and DJ was from the attendants at our wedding. Thank you Jason and Sounds Abound for a fantastic experience!

Sounds Abound was an absolutely amazing company to work with! They replied in a timely manner to emails which was awesome! Craig M. helped make our wedding day a perfect one. He was always on point and directed the day so well! My husband and I are so grateful to have worked with them!

Matt Ammons was such an amazing DJ. He did such a great job of keeping everything moving smoothly. His music choice was so good it was able to get people on the dance floor that don't normally dance. Booking with Sounds Abound was easy and stressless. They have an online planning and payment method that was really simple.

Kyle was our DJ for our wedding on 9/30/17 and he was fantastic! He kept everyone moving through the announcements and dinner, and even when I suggested that the guests had to sing to have my husband and I kiss (instead of the traditional clinking glasses) and we had not talked with Kyle about that before, he took it in stride and promptly announced it to the guests. The dance floor was never empty the entire night and he played all of the songs my husband and I requested beforehand. Everyone said our wedding was lots of fun and that they loved the music. Thanks Kyle!

The DJ Brian played music for both our wedding ceremony and reception in October 2017. He was kind and courteous to my wife and I both during the planning process as well as the big day itself. He made sure to stick to the playlist during the reception, as well as adhered to every special request we put in for music during both ceremony and reception. My wife and I were very happy working with both Brian and Sounds Abound, and would definitely recommend anyone else to do so.

We got married on 9/30 and Gary was our DJ. From the start they have been incredibly smooth to work with and the online planning tool was easily navigated by us. Gary was professional, friendly, personable, and got everyone dancing. He was in contact with us multiple times before our wedding day
wedding and showed up early to set up the speaker for the ceremony.

Everyone was talking about the dancing the day after, they couldn't get enough of our DJs - Rufus and Greg! They were wonderful to work with leading up to the event, Rufus gave us some honest feedback on some some special dances we were planning., and because of that everything turned out better than expected. There wasn't a moment in the night where the floor was empty!

Totally positive experience, couldn't have been happier with Gregg

I’ve been to a number of weddings that Tony has DJ’d and he always does an amazing job! Our own wedding was no exception! Everyone had a blast and complimented us on the great music. Tony was energetic, professional, and fun throughout the planning and wedding process. I would recommend him to any other family or friends for their special event. We also used the photo booth which was a hit.

Our wedding was absolutely amazing. Matt Ammons did an awesome job and did everything we asked of him. Our dinner went so smoothly with the speeches and the music. The first dances were great. He had people out on the dance floor the entire night, which is exactly what we wanted. We got so many compliments on how great the music was. We have no critiques and would not have changed a thing. Thanks again!!

We just had our wedding last Friday, October 6th and had Matt A. as our DJ and he was amazing! Thank you Matt for being our DJ , you did a perfect job! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He kept the party going and played awesome music! The DJ is such a huge part of a wedding and I'm so thankful for Matt! All of our guests even said what a great job Matt did!
Thank you!

We were referred to Sounds Abound by a few of our friends who had used them for their weddings. Tony Ho was our DJ for our wedding and he was amazing to work with. Their event planner made it super easy to search and select songs. We were stumped on a few songs choices and Tony gave us some great recommendations. He was super easy to get ahold of and very laid back. We had so many compliments throughout the night on our DJ and would highly recommend using them for your next event!

Everything beginning to end was perfect! We heard about Sounds Abound through my husbands co-workers that previously used them for their weddings. We selected the most cost efficiencient package because we were on a budget. It was a little more than what we wanted to spend but worth every single penny. It was very easy to work with them from booking to picking out songs all the way to the actual wedding day. Tony Ho was awesome! My sister in law was very pregnant and Tony checked on her to make sure she was comfortable and had her feet up. He said he would come back and get her for announcements for when it was time for the bridal party to go into the reception. And he did! He played what was on our list and made sure to keep the party alive! Tony even took pictures of us for our first dance and before we got announced and sent them to us 2 days later. I would highly recommend Tony and Sounds Abound to anyone anyday!

A big thank you to Sounds Abound and to Gregg Eisel, our very special DJ, for making my 70's Disco Birthday Party a huge success. Gregg arrived early to make certain that everything was tested and in place before the event began. Gregg contacted me before the party to discuss my vision and then he provided an absolutely perfect experience of what I described. He came prepared to play all the music I had requested plus additional tunes some of the guests asked for. He kept pace with the group and kept them up dancing the whole night. And you could not get me off the dance floor. I was ecstatic. The light show was so far beyond what I expected. Our party room became a real disco and everyone enjoyed the blast from the past. Thanks again to Gregg and all the professional staff at Sounds Abound. I highly recommend them and would definitely book them again.

We choose Sounds Abound for our wedding at Acquaviva on 9.16.17. We choose Matt Ammons as the DJ. He was awesome!! He met with us over the phone prior to our wedding. He did an awesome job and we are so happy we choose to go with Sounds Abound for our wedding day. We also had Sounds Abound provide a photo booth. That went great as well. We couldn't be happier with our decision on booking Sounds Abound. We will definitely be recommending Matt Ammons and Sounds Abound to friends.

Hello,

Sounds Abound and Gregg Eisel (our DJ) were absolutely great. We went in for an open house and met Gregg and were sold immediately. The online event planner made it easy for us to communicate which songs we needed to hear, which songs we wanted to hear, and most importantly the ones we did not want hear! Leading up to our event we spoke with Gregg to ensure he had all the details he needed for our reception. He provided music/microphones for our ceremony and reception. The music never stopped and most importantly our guests were dancing all night long!

From day one of choosing a DJ for our wedding this last September, I went straight to Sounds Abound and couldn't be happier. From choosing our music for the ceremony, special songs for the reception, and the dancing, the online planner was fun and easy to use and made sure we didn't forget any song for our wedding day. The couple weeks leading up to the day, I was able to talk to our chosen DJ Larry about any questions or concerns and he was ready and able to answer them. We used him too for our ceremony music, and I have zero complaints. I barely remember the music played during the processional and unity ceremony since it was so perfect. He helped make our night exactly how we wanted it. People were on the dance floor all night, I heard compliments of the sound level even after the day was over, and Larry and his assistant did their job very well. Wish I could have another wedding to use them again!

We loved our dj, Keith. He was a very personable, fun to work with, and professional. We received many compliments on how fun our wedding was to be at. Keith did a great job catering to the group of people on the dance floor during the night. At one point there wasn't anyone sitting and everyone was out on the dance floor. Thank you for making our wedding a blast!

Sounds Abound was great to work with and Jeff Wells did an absolute fantastic job on getting everything together, from our playlists to the first dance songs. The night could not have gone better. I would absolutely recommend using Jeff Wells and Sounds Abound to any other couple looking for a DJ for their wedding

We absolutely loved working with Tony. He took time to meet with us during the planning process to help narrow down our song choices and genres for each part of the day. He was well organized and knew exactly what the schedule and routine was. We both spent the entire night on the dance floor. The song selection and timing was perfect. Our family and friends truly enjoyed themselves. We also loved the online portal which helps choose songs for each part of the day. It really made the day more personal. We highly recommend working with Sounds Abound and Tony! Thank you for such an amazing day!!

Larry was great! He touched bases with us a few times before the wedding for final details. He did great at keeping the night moving by politely reminding my husband and I of the time and what we needed to do next. The music was great, everyone had such a great time! Would highly recommend Sounds Abound and Larry!

We got married on September 8, 2017. Sounds Abound did a marvelous job to help make our special day perfect. Keith was absolutely fantastic, we received numerous compliments about not only the style of music but the 'Emceeing' as well. We will recommend him and Sounds Abound every opportunity we get.
Thank you for everything!

I wanted to take a minute and thank you and all of your staff for such a phenomenal experience at our wedding on September 16. The variety of music had everyone on the dance floor at some point! We appreciated the rapid response times with any questions we had through the process and the organized website and worksheet that allows our event to be such a success! We had the time of our lives celebrating and dancing our night away!

Dear Kyle,
Thanks for killin' it with your DJ skillz at our wedding! The dance floor was packed the whole night and everyone had a blast! You're the best!

SoundsAbound was recommended to us by our venue as one of their preferred vendors and we're so glad! We chose DJ Geoff Rafferty for our services and he was fantastic. Everything about the music from start to finish was easy, accommodating and reasonably priced.

Geoff was very lax, which is great on the day of when you don't have time to worry about vendors. We mostly had him stick to our own playlist we created through their online portal, but what he added was very appropriate and he always had people dancing. Geoff was very good at reading the room.

I highly recommend SoundsAbound and particularly Geoff for any special occasion!

TONY WAS AMAZING! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Tony by far exceeded our expectations from day one when we first spoke to him. Not only was he extremely responsive, easy to work with, and made wedding planning FUN, but we had some specific requests and he blew us away! My family is primarily of Polish descent so it was important for us to have a special song played during the reception. Not only did Tony find a great version of it, but he did his research and did a really great, but short, intro of the song so that the other side of the family would understand what was going on and could share in the special moment. On top of that, we had a few ad hoc changes the day of the wedding as far as something we needed included in the reception, and Tony completely adapted with ease and made it a non issue. We also had a tough crowd to please--the full range from little kids to elderly; but Tony handled that with ease as well and had the dance floor packed all night long! He didn't make the reception about him, or do too many talking intros for things--he really did an absolutely perfect job! All in all, we couldn't have imagined a more perfect DJ for our event, and we truly appreciate Tony's personal contact and personal touch throughout the wedding planning process to the actual wedding.

David Wilner did an amazing job at both our wedding ceremony and reception! He made sure all the wedding party was there including grandparents before introducing the wedding party during the reception as well as kept the guests entertained all night! Chris who worked the photobooth was hilarious and did an awesome job! Tony and I are glad we went with Sounds Abound for our wedding! They are both reasonably priced and does a fantastic job!

Tony Ho was an excellent DJ! His sense of humor was really great and kept the guests engaged. He played a great mix of music that kept all our guests, from ages 8 - 85, dancing for hours. We received many compliments on the DJ and said it was the most fun reception they'd been to! Tony also kept us on schedule for the evening with the first dance and bouquet toss. During the planning process Tony was available to help out and provide suggestions. We also liked the online event manager program that allowed us to select an unlimited amount of songs that we liked and guided us with reception organization. Sounds Abound was also competitively priced and worked with us to ensure we received services to suit the location. We would recommend Tony again and again!

We booked Sounds Abound for our wedding and got the chance to work with DJ Tony Coix! From the beginning, the Sounds Abound team was great. They gave us an impromptu meeting without an appointment and helped us book our event. Working with Tony was super easy and he really took the time to understand what we wanted. He helped us put our timeline and schedule together and made recommendations that worked well for us. He was great at the wedding, kept the audience entertained and he was so energetic. Definitely recommend!!

We are SO happy and relieved that we went with Sounds Abound for our wedding DJ and uplighting. Kyle Overbey was our DJ and did a FANTASTIC job, and so did his assistant. All of our guests loved the music and they kept the party going until the end (seriously, no one was leaving). The uplighting was perfect and illuminated our reception beautifully 🙂

Jason Yach did an amazing job at our barn wedding earlier this month! He made the whole experience so easy for my husband and I. Jason really listened to what we wanted for the wedding day and he not only met our expectations but exceeded them by playing music he knew we would enjoy and more importantly that our guests would love. Totally recommend booking Jason for any event!!

We had a great experience with Sounds abound. Craig was great. He was available for any questions that we had before the wedding. He kept us in the loop on the day of the wedding and helped make our day stress-free. His music was appropriate, leaning more towards less current music, which is fine by us. There was definitely a 90s vibe going on throughout the night. Our guests seem to have a great time and everyone was dancing all night. The customer service we experienced was exceptional and I would definitely recommend Craig to family and friends in the future.

We had our wedding on August 26 of this year and couldn't be more pleased with the results. At first, my husband and I almost didn't go with a DJ as we are pretty particular about our music. However, after much deliberation (and hesitation) we decided to at least check out Sounds Abound to see what it was all about. Gregg listened to everything we wanted and didn't want, gave his honest and valid opinion on things, and took notes about things we discussed with him. After meeting with him a couple times, we felt confident going into our wedding night. The night of, however, Gregg and his assistant completely exceeded our expectations. They did exactly what we wanted and more, and we honestly couldn't have come up with a better playlist for the ceremony, dinner/cocktails, and reception if we had put it together ourselves. We received so many compliments on the music all night long and for the entire week and my husband and I still can't get over how well it turned out! I would highly recommend both Sounds Abound and Gregg to anyone looking for a DJ for their event. Thank you Gregg (and assistant Ryan) SO very much for taking the time to listen to our crazy requests and making them work, you were absolutely amazing and we had a blast with you guys!!

Starting the wedding planning process was crazy and me and my now husband knew the music was a big part of the day. We wanted everyone to be on the dance floor having a good time and Jason accomplished that!! There was never a time when the dance floor was empty! We had filled out a music profile but told Jason to run with it based on how the mood was and man did he kill it. He was great with communication and checking in with us during the night to let us know when our first dance is bouquet toss was happening. We had a few music request songs that he thought might not jive with the feel we had going so he approached us just to make us aware and see if we wanted it to be played or not. BUT he also came to us with a solution that allowed the song to be played without ruining the vibe. A week later our guests are still raving about Jason and how he is the best DJ they have heard!! If you go with Jason you will have absolutely no problem making the dance floor full!

Keith
Our original plan for our "re-scheduled" wedding was not to have a DJ. WOW! Can't tell you how glad we are that we changed our mind! You kept the party going and added so much to our reception. The guests commented on how good you are. A Million Thanks!

We were recommended Sounds Abound and Tony Ho from some friend and we were not disappointed! They took the time to walk us through everything they offered and how it would all work out! We had additional speakers for our outdoor reception and some awesome uplighting that really made our venue pop! Tony was awesome to work with. The enthusiasm he had for us and our day was perfect! Not only was he able to work in all of our special requests he was able to keep the dance floor packed the entire night! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ!
He also took the photo we uploaded here too!

We cannot sing enough great praises for Sounds Abound and in particular, Tony Ho. From start to finish, the experience was amazing. From the in-person introduction and booking process to the constant check-ins, we were impressed and at ease with working with Sounds Abound. Furthermore, Tony Ho, our DJ (though he was really much more than just our DJ/MC), truly made our wedding special. Not only did he meet our every (and numerous) needs, but did so in a professional and fun manner. He made all our guests feel like family and we had numerous guests come up to us afterwards expressing how impressed they were with Tony. Some even asked if they could steal him for future events. He kept the energy going by providing a careful balance of letting the guests do their thing when energy was hi and stepping in (and providing some killer dance moves) when energy levels were a little lower. Tony made time to meet with us before our wedding to get to know us and our preferences and on the day of, worked seamlessly with our other vendors to make sure the day was about us. Thank you Sounds Abound, and more importantly, thank you Tony Ho.

I am writing to thank you and commend our music coordinator, Gregg Eisel. Our Golden Wedding Anniversary Party was a huge success and the music played a large part. From our first encounter with you to the last with Gregg we were nothing but more than satisfied. You made doing business with you easy and your technology is terrific.

Gregg Eisel started out the evening with us as a stranger and ended by becoming a member of the family. He spent a great deal of time with our daughters planning for our event. He did a fantastic job with the music, lighting and coordinating the many special things that were planned throughout the evening. Gregg in his delightful manner kept the evening moving while not interfering with the emotional mood of the evening. That is truly a skill. As purely a DJ, he is second to none that I have seen. The evidence is that the dance floor was filled the entire night by four generations of family and friends. Even my family members with physical disabilities were up on the floor. It was simply amazing.

So in closing, I thank you both for being part of the happiest family event of our lives.

Rufus
Thank you for being such an amazing DJ for our wedding! Everyone has been talking about what a fun event/reception it was! Thanks for everything!

Rufus

Thank you for all you have done to make our day so special! You are so talented and warm-hearted. You made us feel at ease from our first meeting. It really shows how much you love your job. Thank you Again!

Rufus & Sounds Abound

Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day fabulous! Everyone has told us how awesome you were and we so appreciate you contributing to our perfect day!

Tony Ho was the best DJ ever! He played songs that everyone liked from a variety of generations. Tony also worked with us before our wedding to make sure our night was perfect. Everyone danced the night away and we got many compliments on how good the music was!

We had such an awesome time having you all do our music for our wedding. Our children had a blast dancing all over the place. Thank you for all your hard work and helping us make our day special.

Sounds Abound is the BEST choice you could make! They have their own website where you can customize your playlist, which is so cool! Not to mention, they are extremely professional and you can tell they have been doing this for a long time! We have received many compliments on our music since the wedding! That was our number one compliment. All thanks to our DJ, Rufus! He was extremely professional and fun at the same time. He was the perfect decision to make for our wedding day. From start to finish, our dance floor was packed. It was a giant dance party! You know your wedding is a good time when not one person is sitting down and they are all on the dance floor. We also had our name in lights on the wall and a photobooth! The photobooth was a huge hit, and the lights were so fun! I would highly recommend sounds abound!!!!

We had a great experience with Sounds Abound for our June wedding. We loved the online planner and their prices are great as well. We used their photo booth and our guests had so much fun with it. They did a great job putting together our photo book! One of the greatest choices we made was choosing Matt Ammons as our DJ. He is so much fun! He took the time to meet with us beforehand and get to know the type of music we like, as well as helping us get things in order of how we wanted them. He had so much energy and played the best music! Our dance floor was full all night and our guests raved about how awesome our DJ was. He helped make our wedding the best night I could have ever asked for!

Craig Mohler was our DJ and he did a fantastic job! He kept the dance floor full all night long and he manage a birthday surprise for my grandfather-in-law flawlessly. Many people told us after the wedding how much fun they had and that they thought the DJ was fantastic! If you're thinking about using Sounds Abound for your wedding, do yourself a favor and book them today. You will not be disappointed!

Rufus

Thank you so much for all your hard work yesterday!! Everyone had a blast and the dance floor never stopped which is what we wanted. Everyone has told me how they loved the music. We really appreciate it.

I know it has been over 5 weeks since our wedding day, but I just wanted to say how much we both loved having Gary as our DJ. He kept the dance floor busy all night long and it was always filled with people dancing. The music he played, everybody loved and all of our English and American guests loved the British twist he added. Being a brit, I certainly appreciated it! Both Gary and his assistant were faultless all day long. From the ceremony through to the reception. We are so thankful to Gary and Sounds Abound who really made our big day even better. You really have a fantastic DJ in Gary!

The concept of greatness is a strong concept, but not strong enough for the DJ stylings of Tony Ho. Tony Ho was a great DJ for my wedding and would be a great DJ for any event. If you need a fun DJ and don't want to have to worry about any of the details, hire this man.

Ernesto was our dj for the night and he came up with great suggestions for important pieces of our wedding and he really knew what he was doing. Everyone raved how great the music was and he took direction from us very well! We have a great time and We would definitely recommend him to others!!

DJs can either make or break a wedding, and Jason definitely MADE our wedding! I cannot say enough good things about Sounds Abound, but more importantly Jason. After reserving Jason for our wedding through Sounds Abound, Jason sent us an introduction email right away and thanked us for choosing him as our DJ. He was easy to contact and responded quickly to emails. We met with him in person to go over the day of events, song selections, introductions, etc., and Jason definitely put us at ease and helped us through this process. He knows exactly what he is doing and we knew that our day would run smoothly because of him. My husband's family is Polish, and we provided him with polish songs, and he was able to download these songs directly to his laptop. The day of the wedding, Jason was on time, professional, and did everything that he said he would. He made sure that we followed the schedule that we planned and was on-top of everything! He played songs at the right time, and knew when to change up the genre to make sure that there was always a full dance floor.

While talking to people who attended the wedding, we received sooo many compliments on our DJ! If I could redo my wedding, I would make sure that Jason was there!!!!

I just wanted to thank you for making our wedding reception so awesome. You kept the party going all night! We had so much fun working with you (you made everything so easy!) and we received so many compliments on the music. Everyone told us they all had so much fun dancing. You truly made our night Special and we are forever grateful! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

What a great job our DJ Brian Keck & Sounds Abounds did for our wedding on July 1st, 2017. My wife and I cannot be more happy with how awesome he was. Brian made our day so great and was in communication with us at all the necessary times. We would highly recommend using Sounds Abounds and Brian to any of our family, friends, coworkers, etc. Thanks again to Brian for doing an amazing job and making our day so special to not us but also all of our guests.

DJ Rufus was amazing! Before the wedding, he took the time to talk with me and discuss my husband and I's music style and what we were looking for at the reception. He played every song we requested and more importantly, Rufus did an awesome job of reading the dance floor and keeping it alive! He made people feel like they were missing out if they weren't on the dance floor! I would recommend DJ Rufus to any couple looking for a talented, personable DJ who wants to have an incredibly fun reception!

The very first meeting we had with Kyle sold us, we picked him as our DJ on the spot. We explained what we were looking for and the types of music we would like to have played at our wedding and he was already tossing ideas of playlists he had in mind. We were looking for an exceptional DJ and that is what we got when we picked Kyle. His professionalism and ability to adapt and improvise gave us one less thing to worry about on our big day. He was able to grab the attention from all 230 plus people in the room and make important announcements heard very easily. He kept the dance floor packed all night incorporating our requests along with his surefire playlists. He was very accommodating with requests from guests and most importantly kept us (bride and groom) in mind with every song. I even threw in a request that he announce an inside joke from the bachelor party at the end of the night and it was an absolute hit. Overall, Kyle and the entire group at Sounds Abound helped make our wedding a day we will never forget! Thanks Guys!

Thank you, Rufus and Sounds Abound, for being exactly what we were looking for to DJ our wedding!
Rufus was amazingly professional, and we truly felt like he understood our musical tastes and preferences. He checked with us throughout the evening when a request was made that he wasn't sure we would approve of, and he made sure we were okay with the timing of certain special songs. He kept the party rockin', and we had several of our guests comment how great the music was, from start to finish!
The uplighting definitely helped add to our reception venue, and we appreciate the consideration taken to match our colors.
Thanks again to Rufus and Sounds Abound for making our wedding such a great party!

Hi Keith,

I'm just dropping in to say thanks again for DJ'ing and MC'ing our wedding. Jenny and I both agree that you knocked it out of the park and did an amazing job. You were courteous, calm, and composed throughout the entire reception. You showed up and were ready to go and we greatly appreciate it. The music you played was awesome and all of our songs were played. I'm gonna recommend you to anyone and everyone that needs a DJ.

The very first time we walked into sounds abound to meet with the staff there was a DJ who happened to be there named David Wilner. We started chatting and I quickly learned how hilarious witty and charismatic he was! My Fiance and I knew leaving that meeting that there was no other DJ that we wanted to go with and quickly emailed David that day securing him for our wedding day.

Over the next year as we prepared for our wedding, David was always there to answer a question if we had one he was always so quick and responsive! The day started to approach and we scheduled our follow up meeting. He was extremely detail oriented from the timing of the music to walk down the aisle to getting the correct pronunciation of our bridal party I left the meeting in the most exciting anticipation I've ever felt because I knew David was going to deliver an epic DJ experience and we weren't wrong. Every single detail of the ceremony and reception was PERFECT. I can't tell you how many people came up to my now husband and I said you had the best DJ I've ever seen at a wedding. They raved about David and how he set the tone for the night, the mix of the music, etc. David constantly checked in with us throughout the evening and just rolled with the punches! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same if David wasn't there. If anyone is reading this review I would say if you want to have the most epic day and dance party of your life then you absolutely MUST hire David Wilner as your DJ and MC!

We were lucky enough to have Rufus be the DJ and MC for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better fit. In the months and weeks up to the wedding, Rufus was always in touch, meeting with us both over the phone and in person and really helped us put together a stress-free program ahead of time. On the day of, he was extremely flexible and able to handle any curveballs that came his way and all our guests LOVED the musical choices. Given that the guests ranged from early 20's to late 70's in age, that's saying quite a bit! If we had to do it all over again, we would pick Sounds Abound and Rufus every time, we couldn't have been happier with our big day and how everything went. Thank you so much Rufus!

We can't thank our DJ Craig enough! He was simply amazing, organized, and a great communicator! Thank you very much Craig for helping us celebrate and making our special day so fantastic!

DJ Tony Ho was extremely personable and adaptable to the diverse crowd at a wedding I attended this past weekend. The dance floor was packed from the first song until time to leave. He worked well moving from song to song and the choices he made show his expertise in knowing how to read the crowd and keep the reception full of energy! He arrived early and completed setup prior to the reception and was the last one to leave. Would highly recommend DJ Tony Ho and his company Sounds Abound!

Everyone told us that an amazing DJ was crucial in order to have a fabulous wedding, and we couldn't agree more after seeing so many of our guests having a blast dancing all night at our wedding! Rufus did an absolutely phenomenal job as our DJ and kept the dance floor full all night! The intros were fun and exciting and even the most challenging names in our bridal party were all pronounced correctly! We had an anniversary dance and a special dance for my aunt and uncle's 20th anniversary, and all of these special requests went so smoothly thanks to Rufus!! I didn't want the night to end and neither did our guests! We received so many compliments on how much people loved the music selection and how much fun Rufus made our party!! We couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Sounds Abound! They were so organized and a pleasure to work with during wedding planning and our special day!

I cannot praise our DJ, Craig, enough; he was an amazing DJ, and we could not have been happier with him. We are still receiving compliments from our wedding guests about how great of a job Craig did.

Throughout the planning process, Craig was very attentive and engaged; he wanted to make certain that he knew the type of atmosphere that we wanted on our wedding day as well as the type of music that we wanted to be played. He was also very flexible with meeting times which we greatly appreciated.

On the wedding day, Craig was truly outstanding; he did a wonderful job of understanding the crowd and the right songs to be played at the moment; he is a natural at his job. We had over 200 guests at our wedding, and for a majority of the night, most of the guests were on the dance floor. I have never seen so many people dancing at a wedding.

Overall, Craig was very accommodating and understanding; we would highly recommend him to other couples, and we will keep him in mind for future events.

I booked Sounds Abound for my wedding as it was recommended by my venue. Upon meeting the staff, I was confident they were the ones! With so many DJ's on staff, these guys live and breathe for a good party! We picked Jason Yach and he was just the nicest and so on point. He was professional, organized, and friendly. He played every song I requested, and most importantly he read the crowd so well and knew exactly what we wanted to hear to keep the crowd out on the dance floor. (We're an 80's/90's anthem kinda crowd). The website is SO clever, easy to use, and amazing to organize all your requests and details for the reception night. We got so many compliments on our awesome the music was--I'd recommend Jason in a heartbeat... a stand up guy that kept our party rockin'!

Our wedding was just a week ago and we wish we could do it all over again! A lot of that was because of Kyle. He was the best DJ we could have ever asked for. He listened to us, knew exactly what we were looking for, took our special requests and just ran with it. The dance floor never got empty at all that night, and we are so happy about that. Thank you so much again, Kyle!! We really appreciate all you did to make our special day so unbelievably wonderful!!

Sounds Abound was exactly the kind of DJ we wanted for our wedding!

We thought it was great that we were allowed to request a certain DJ whose style meshed with ours and we ended up choosing Jason Yach. He was an excellent choice and really made the entire evening all about us and what we wanted! (as opposed to some of our friends' weddings we've been to where the DJ seems to focus more on himself than the couple)

Sounds Abound makes planning easy with an online planner that we could update at our own convenience. Jason was also great and set up a 30-45 minute phone meeting (we were planning our wedding from Boston) a few weeks before the wedding to make sure that he knew what we were expecting and everything we wanted.

Jason played our entire "must play" list and avoided all of the songs and artists we asked him to avoid. He was great at getting the wedding party set up and ready to go for our intros and really helped coordinate the beginning of our reception. Later in the evening he was responsive to our guests' requests and everyone was excited when they got to hear their requests!

Very happy with our experience with Sounds Abound!

We hired the Sounds Abound team of David Wilner-and-crew for the second time recently. David first MC'd our son's bar mitzvah party, and last month he was back leading the festivities at our daughter's bat mitzvah celebration. David is the smoothest MC/DJ we have seen. He is fun, warm, witty, classy, and engaging. The key element is his genuine desire for the host's to be able to relax and enjoy themselves along with all of their guests. He makes it a point to pick up on your personality and preferences, which he uses to inform the feel and energy of your whole event. David and Sounds Abound were easy and pleasant to work with throughout.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ David from Sounds Abound for our wedding reception. (We also had a Photo Booth attendant and scrapbook creator, who were equally amazing!). From the minute we spoke over the phone, David made us feel comfortable and ready to party!!! He was thoughtful and attentive - listening to our requests while offering his own experienced opinion. From cocktail hour, through first speeches and dances, until bar close, David led the way while managing to keep the spotlight on us. The dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night! This says a lot, since neither of our families are big dancers! We also decided to have Sounds Abound provide uplighting and a digital screen for a slideshow, both of which added to the amazing atmosphere. We were thrilled with how our wedding reception turned out and owe it all to him!!

Dear Keith,
Thank you for helping us celebrate our wedding! We enjoyed working with you and thought you did an amazing job with the music and as an MC. You did a great job finding the right times to incorporate all the different songs we requested. Anyone who can incorporate Loretta Lynn and Mr. Big into one event seamlessly is a DJ extraordinaire! We will definitely recommend you to family and friends! Thank you!

Craig, Thank you for the wonderful entertainment you provided at the annual Derby Day event. We would like to thank you once again for a job well done!

Craig was amazing as always...we never have to worry about staying on track he keeps the guests engaged and is always professional

They were fantastic. They were accommodating of some of our odder music choices. Gary Hipperson was charming and we got tons of compliments specifically about him.

We hired Tony Ho as our wedding DJ. He was amazing. The online planning tool was extremely helpful, and he was able to gauge exactly the type of music that we wanted (or didn't want) from the songs we had chosen on the planning tool. The dance floor was full of people having the best time ever. Tony did an incredible job of keeping the party going. I would highly recommend the company and Tony.

DJ Rufus and his team were fantastic at reading the room, keeping the party going, and accommodating special requests. All Sounds Abound staff were very helpful in the planning and easy to work with. All around great experience.

We used Sounds Abound for our wedding on March 25, 2017 and our MC/DJ Vincenzo Marrone was awesome! Vince had our guests engaged and dancing all night long. We couldn't be happier with Sounds Abound and would highly recommend them to everyone for their special day. Great job Sounds Abound!!!

We had Kyle Overbey as our wedding DJ, and it was the best decision we could have made. He was an amazing MC and an even better DJ. He was great to work with prepping for the wedding. He had many great suggestions and was great at communicating when we had a question.

As for the reception, the dance floor was full the entire time. Numerous people came to us during or after the wedding and commented how great of a job the DJ did with his song selections. There were also many comments on how nobody had ever seen a dance floor that full for that long. Our wedding coordinator actually asked us for his card the day after the wedding to contact him because she was so impressed.

My wife and I truly feel that Kyle helped make our wedding even more memorable than we expected. We both can't recommend Kyle enough for any of your DJ needs. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, outgoing and can keep the dance floor going all night, stop looking and contact Kyle now!

Our wedding was back in October of 2016 and we were so happy with the services we received from Sounds Abound. We chose a package that included DJ, uplighting, and a photo booth and it was money well spent. Our DJ, Kevin Vance, and his assistant did such a great job with song choice throughout the evening. Our guests clearly had a great time and they did a great job of keeping people on the dance floor. We knew that a photo booth would be popular but we had no idea that it would be THAT popular, especially with the older guests. There were people going in and out of there all night long, most even going multiple times so it was definitely a huge hit. And the beautiful uplighting made the ambiance so much more wonderful. We recommend Sounds Abound 100%. Thanks for everything!

You know you were in good hands when you want to write a positive review the morning right after your wedding! Our DJ (Rufus) from Sounds Abound arrived early, completely prepared, and led us through an amazing night! He put us at ease with his friendliness and professionalism. He paced speeches appropriately, anticipated and addressed hurdles we wouldn't have thought of, served as a middle man between us and our catering service, and kept the dance floor going all night. With Rufus in charge, we were able to relax and enjoy a fantastic evening! Thank you, Rufus!

We would like to thank Sounds Abound and Gary Hipperson for helping make our day perfect. Gary was a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. We chose a few must-have songs and let Gary do the rest, and we were not disappointed. He kept the atmosphere light and fun. Our dance floor was packed all night long. Thank you so much for helping make our day perfect.

We had SUCH a wonderful wedding with Gregg Eisel as our dj. From the start, he was extremely on top of all of our planning, showing us how to pick songs we wanted to have played at our wedding and showing us the best way to fill out our wedding worksheet. He then suggested a final meeting to go over everything, which I found extremely helpful, as we both found things to change for the better from what my husband and I had chose. He also contacted me a few days before our event to do a final rundown; needless to say, my mind was very much at ease when it came to our big day.. I knew Gregg knew exactly what my husband and I wanted and I had nothing to worry about. Our wedding music went off without a hitch and we had an AMAZING time dancing the night away! I am really not a dancer and even I was out on the dancefloor all night! I highly recommend Sounds Abound and Gregg for your next dj-ed event.

I got married 2/18/17 and picking music and a DJ was one of the last things I did. Picking music my husband and I agreed on seemed like an impossible task but Brian and sounds abound made it easy and fun! Somehow without much help Brian was able to keep my party going all night! He read the room perfectly and played some of mine and my guests favorite songs without me saying much. He was involved all night from speeches to walking in to dancing sounds abroad did it all! Thank you Brian and the whole team for making my wedding one amazing party.

I've hired Sounds Abound a few times and they do the best job! Contract set up is no fuss. I relay want we want/expect and they deliver. I highly recommend Kyle.

Katie said...
Sounds abound were phenomenal!!! They were very accommodating and worked with my crazy schedule. They were so professional! We had Kyle, and I'm so glad! He knew how to read the room and keep our crazy group on the dance floor! He heard the speeches from our party and even incorperated music from that! He was so great to work with and he made sure we got everything we needed and that we were ok and made sure everything ran smoothly! Thank you so much Kyle and Sounds Abound!!! Will definitely be telling our friends! By the end of the night we already had people asking who we used!

From the moment we met Kyle we knew he was a perfect fit for our wedding! Kyle went through our reception timeline and comforted us with his knowledge in music. He listened to all of our requests and kept the dance floor going all night! Our wedding reception was perfect thanks to Kyle! We will reccommend him and Sounds Abound to all of our family and friends!

Our softball org holds a banquet every year for over two hundered people, more than half of them kids from 5-18. In past years, once dinner is over, the kids mostly disengage from the event. NOT THIS YEAR!!! From my very first meeting with David, I knew his goals for the event matched mine and he really delivered. He had many great suggestions for the flow of the event and kept everything on time. He and his two assistants had the kids attention from the second they walked in the door with games, dancing, prizes and music. All of the adults were on the dance floor too, having a fantastic time with their kids. I had so many compliments on his team that I lost count of them all. The head of our organization personally approached him after the event to make sure he was available for next year and my fourteen year old daughter even admitted it was really fun! If you are planning a large event that involves many children of all ages, I could not recommend David more highly, he is worth every penny.

Melissa said...
Sounds Abound was amazing! We could not have asked for a better company. Rufus was our D.J and he was spectacular! He was always available to answer questions and give suggestions. He contacted us the week before to make sure we had everything nailed down. We went over the music selection on the online planner (which is an awesome tool). The night of the wedding was smooth and flowed beautifully, before our introductions he even came up to us again to make sure he add all name pronunciations right! We weren't sure about music for the night, and left it up completely up the DJ. His transitions were smooth and the dance floor was packed all night! We also rented the sounds abound photobooth. They came with so many fun props, and included a flashdrive of all our guest's pictures. Sounds Abound is all about making their clients happy and they went above and behind!

Our DJ, Gary was incredible and we cannot speak highly enough of him. He was a joy to work with and the wedding party and guests absolutely adored him. The two of us, and our wedding party felt like he was a friend we had known for years. He jumped into our "unorthodox" wedding without reserve and met our requests head on every step of the way. We were a wedding party filled with Musical Theatre performers and actors, and we had very specific song requests for the ceremony and the reception. On top of that we had two grooms combining traditional Irish culture with traditional Greek culture, and Gary made sure to please everyone from "the old country", in both music and presentation. The uplighting that came with the package enhanced our space and added that last minute touch of color we needed. We also went with the PhotoBooth package from SoundsAbound as well and couldn't have asked for a better finished product! All in all Sounds Abound was our top vendor for the night! No complaints! If you are having an event and need a DJ, snatch up Gary before he is booked! You won't regret it!

Tony Ho was so great to work with, very friendly and personable. He has an awesome personality and was able to keep everyone on the floor dancing! We were so happy to have him DJ our wedding, we would definitely recommend him to other engaged couples. Or anyone really looking for a DJ!

Rule of thumb, you spend months sometimes over a year planning your special day and it will never fail something always goes wrong. It might be a small or big details but I can say for one thing it won't be your DJ, if you go with Sounds Abound and have the one and only Tony Ho! Words can't explain his professionalism and genuine sincerity to make your day amazing. Not only does he know how to judge your guest to get them on the dance floor he goes above and beyond to make your day special.

Like many we had unfortunate things happen on our day in which Tony was able to improvise and make it a night to remember. He even checked in the day after, sent photos from his vantage point with his phone and truly wanted to make sure everyone had an awesome experience.

If he is available for your date, grab him up asap because he won't disappoint, he truly is a one of a kind class act!!

And to Tony, many thank you were the best!

Sincerely

The Parrilli's

We picked Rufus as our dj and could not have been happier! He helped us make sure we threw the best party that our guests are STILL talking about how much fun they had.

We LOVED them. We had DJ Kyle Overbey and he was fantastic. I can't remember what his assistant's name was... Fun, kept the party moving, and not at all corny (that was one of my main concerns with having a DJ haha). We submitted a song list ahead of time of songs we love and songs we did not want played. He did exactly what we hoped for - a perfect combination of oldies, fun new songs, 90s classics, etc. - but with no bad language or bootie songs or anything like that (I mean come on, my grandma doesn't want to hear that!) We also submitted a few special requests, like reminding people to take centerpieces home, having an anniversary bouquet given out, etc. and he did every single thing perfectly. He was also flexible and good at adjusting when the timing of certain things was off (like our pictures taking longer than expected). I don't think I left the dance floor once! We loved working with Kyle and Sounds Abound and would highly recommend them!

From the start when interviewing DJ's at Sound Abound, We, knew we were in the right place. After hearing many great things about all the DJ's. We decided to go with Tony Ho. The first meeting and setting up a plan for the biggest night of our lives went beyond what I expected. All we had to do was fill out forms and pick our songs and the rest was handled! The day of the Wedding, it was seamless. From the lighting to the music selections, everything was handled and the dance floor was kept full with all ages participating. Not only is Sounds Abound a great company, Tony Ho and his assistant made the night complete. We couldn't be happier. Great people to work with!

We were so thrilled to have Jason DJ our wedding. He was prompt in returning emails and answering any questions we had. He did such a thorough job of going through our event- including our musical tastes and announcing our bridal party at the start of our reception. Wedding planning is stressful, but we felt so at ease after meeting with Jason a few weeks prior to our wedding.

We got so many compliments on Jason and everyone told us how much fun they had. We could not have picked a better DJ! We had a blast all night long!

We were so pleased with our Sounds Abound experience. My wife and I knew the music and MC would be a very important part of the reception, but neither of us had strong opinions about what music should be played. The online planner was convenient and easy to use. In the end, we only had about 10 songs that we told Tony we liked and about the same number in the do not play category. We didn't have any songs in the must play category. With that little guidance, we left it up to Tony to work his magic.

It's pretty safe to say that he crushed it.

I've never been to a wedding where people made a mad dash to the dance floor the moment it opened. Well, I suppose now I have. He got our guests out there from the first song and he kept them there the entire night. The transitions from song to song were great and he kept everyone happy with a great balance of classic and current songs. I remember hearing most of the songs from the songs we like category. He did a great job working them into the lineup and made everything flow.

I must also add that Tony was a great communicator, both in his public presentation and with his communication with us as a couple. He spoke with us on the phone the week before, right before the reception began, and then checked in with us later on in the evening.

We couldn't be more pleased with our choice in company and MC. Choose Sounds Abound and then choose Tony Ho!

Kyle was our DJ for our wedding the last weekend. We had SO many compliments on our music selections/DJ. Kyle kept our guests dancing throughout the entire night!! (We had a mid-dinner breakout dance party! We had to ask people to sit down to finish the dinner because people just did not want to stop dancing!!) We were absolutely thrilled with our music. Our wedding was so much fun because Kyle did such a fantastic job!!! We highly recommend!!!

Matt Ammons what can I say.. He's the very BEST!! When my Office manager came to me discussing our upcoming Christmas Party that they had no DJ for at that time, I immediately said "Matt Ammons!!" I had mentioned he was a personal friend, he's Dj'd my Husband and Mines wedding along with some others we know and he's the only DJ I book for any kind of event! She called right away and requested Matt and sure enough he was available that day and all ready to GO. Matt played appropriate music during cocktail hour, Speeches that were given and Dinner. After all that and it was ready to get our "Dance On", he played music for ALL ages and that dance floor was never empty! I personally enjoyed all his music and have no complaints! Sunrise Chevrolet will for sure be requesting him for years to come! Matt Ammons Thank You again from all of us at Sunrise Chevy!

My sister used sounds abound for her wedding and she had Tony Ho as her dj and highly recommended him to me! He is a great DJ from the first meeting to the big day his experience shows through everything he does. Tony also provided the music for our outdoor vineyard ceremony. He and his partner came ready and prepared with all the necessary equipment. He is incredibly friendly and upbeat from start to finish. He helps with not only being a DJ but an emcee for the evening. He did a great job announcing the speeches and key points in the evening. He kept the dance floor packed and people were dancing all night long! We would highly suggest Tony for any future event you may need a DJ for. Thank you Tony for everything!!!

We loved working with Sounds Abound from the very start with planning for our wedding in November 2016. The online client planner was a great tool to help organize which songs we wanted at our wedding. We worked with Keith Talaga as our DJ and he was fantastic! He was extremely personable, professional, provided insight with not only music choices but also with our Sounds Abound up lighting package. The lights were amazing in our reception room and the music was great! Keith made us feel at ease leading up to our reception and played the best music - we were dancing all night! We are so glad we chose Sounds Abound and highly recommend Sounds Abound and Keith for any occasion!

Dear David,
Thank you so much for being our DJ on our special day! We couldn't of asked anyone better to do the job. Chris and I are so pleased with how the day turned out and you played one of the biggest roles. From the music at our ceremony, all the way to the last song.  You were absolutely amazing! Everyone keeps telling us how wonderful the DJ and music was. You truly are one of the biggest reasons why everyone had so much fun! Thank you for everything!

Rufus was our DJ for the evening of December 15, and he was fabulous.  I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound, and use your services again next year for our annual holiday party.  Thank you, and please let Rufus know how great he was and how much we appreciated his talents.

Craig Mohler was our DJ and he was fabulous! He contacted me before the event to see what kind of music and format we wanted as well as if any announcements were to be made. At the event we met beforehand and he would check in with me throughout the event to make sure everything was going well. Everyone had a blast and are saying best holiday party ever! Thank you so much! Will keep you in mind for the future and will definitely recommend you to others. Thank you for a great musical, fun experience!

My sister and her husband had Tony Ho DJ at their wedding and it was non stop dancing! Three years later, when I got engaged I reached out to Sounds Abound and requested Tony immediately.

He was so relaxed and the put me at ease during the planning process. He brought up really great advice about our first dance and was flexible and easy to work with when I had last minute adjustments.

The day of he greeted us and was genuinely pumped to be at our wedding. We let him know that there was an extra, last minute speech and he introduced him without hesitation. He also had music picked out after each speech to compliment the message. There was a game of thrones reference that he followed up with the GOT theme song. Subtle things that people paying attention really enjoyed.

We have been to our fare share of weddings (13 in one year) and Tony's ability to read the dance floor is incredible. I really appreciated that there were guests of all ages on the dance floor. After the last dance about 50 people remained hanging out and talking on the dance floor. Everyone wanted to keep the party going.

To top if off, the next day Tony sent us a text congratulating us on a great wedding and included an amazing picture of us during our first dance, from an angle that our photographer didn't capture. Overall, Tony's flexibility, excellent music selections and genuine excitement for each wedding is amazing. We love Tony Ho!!

This is the second year in a row that I've used Sounds Abound for our company holiday party, and I would use them again. They are reasonably priced and work hard to make our parties fun. This year I called our DJ, Gregg, the day before our event to ask for help to come up with some ideas to give away our door prizes in a more exciting fashion than just drawing names out of a hat. Gregg helped me come up with a few excellent ideas and he had all our party attendees participating and having a blast, which lasted the whole evening. Thank you, Sounds Abound, for such great service!

Dear Kyle
Thank you so much for all of your help with our wedding. You really did a great jot of keeping the dance floor full all night. Piano Man at the end of the night was such a special moment for everyone. We received so many compliments and wanted to thank you for that. We will be sure to recommend you to others in the future!

Sounds Abounds was the perfect DJ! The staff was fantastic to work with. Matt Ammons did a phenomenal job from the beginning. From our initial meeting to all the details on the wedding day everything ran smoothly. He kept the guests happy and the dance floor poppin! We had a blast!

Sounds Abound is amazing! Matt was our DJ and he went above and beyond all of our expectations/thoughts on how the day was going to go. He was on top of everything, listening to what we wanted, and made the transition between all of the various things throughout our night flawless.

The #1 compliment we got after our wedding was undoubtedly "Your DJ was awesome!!" David Wilner was fantastic from helping us pick out songs for key moments, to putting us at complete ease moments before the ceremony bycoordinating the entrances, to switching up the music all night to keep the party going! I would absolutely recommend Sounds Abound and David to anyone.

We had a wonderful event thanks to Rufus and Sounds Abound. The music sets the tone for an event and Rufus had a perfect variety of music playing. Everything was customized and personalized to our crowd and requests. Rufus was on time, organized, extremely personable, kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend this company for any of your events. VERY impressed all around and had a great experience.

We used Sounds Abound for our DJ and Photobooth for our wedding in November. Our DJ Brian was awesome! He kept the party going and was in constant communication with my husband and I to make sure we were happy and having a good time. People were up and dancing as soon as dinner was over and kept dancing till the very last song. Everyone I have talked to has said it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!

Fun bonus: if you are a beer fan like my husband and I, they are right around the corner from the Solemn Oath tasting room. Worth a visit just for that alone!

My husband and I both loved our DJ Keith! He did an amazing job and kept the energy up the whole evening! Couldn't have been happier with the service that was provided!

We got married 1 week ago today. We were in contact with Sounds Abound and our DJ, Kyle Overbey for over a year. I am a person that tends to read testimonials and brush them off. If you want a great company to work with, I promise you this is it. Their website is incredible, you are able to have a must play list of 20 songs and a do not play list and our DJ Kyle followed it to a T. He even approached us when a song on our do not play list was requested to get the yay or nay on it (we ended up playing it) but it was just the small stuff like that and our dance floor was full the entire night. He knew when to play the requested songs, he knew to hold off on the newer younger party songs til later in the night, everything was just very smooth and very impressive. The guy absolutely crushed it and made our night incredible. Going into a wedding and planning everyone I know stresses over the DJ and whether or not your "crew" will enjoy it and actually dance- I promise you that this is the company to go with and Kyle is your guy. A great experience and our friends and family told us all week they had 0 complaints about songs and it just made the night that much more special. His assistants and the photobooth crew did an excellent job as well!

We recently just tied the knot on 11/11/16, our DJ was Ernesto and we could not be any more pleased with our decision. Rufus actually was the one who recommended Ernesto to us, considering I come from a Hispanic family we needed someone who was bilingual to get the job done! We met Ernesto the week of our wedding and we went over how we wanted things to go he gave his advice on some things and considering he was familiar with our venue it was nice advice. The day of the wedding we had Ernesto also do music for our ceremony and everything was awesome. He worked well with the mariachi that was also there for cocktail hour, honestly things couldn't of went better he was on top of his game, he listened to our requests and totally felt out the crowd as to what music should be played. Let me say the group at our wedding was VERY MUCH diverse and Ernesto was able to play music for all ages all genres it was awesome. We have still been getting compliments on how smoothly everything went and how good the music was. So a big thank you to Ernesto for listening to what we wanted and getting the crowd up and dancing!

We got married in October and had Matt A. as our DJ. We picked Matt because we saw his work back last year at one of our friends wedding and he made the dance floor a party all night! Matt did no different for us and he did not disappoint. He had everyone dancing all night on our dance floor! I've heard from MANY people how great they thought our DJ was! Matt made sure everyone had a fantastic time at our wedding! We would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a fun, prompt, and professional DJ!

Keith Talaga was the DJ for our wedding this Saturday and he did an amazing job! We kept getting compliments about how amazing he was throughout the night and I couldn't have asked for a better night. He was easy to work with and very helpful when we had questions. He made sure he knew how to pronounce everyone's name in the wedding party and also was very flexible for on the fly changes that always happen during weddings. I would recommend him to anyone who was looking for a DJ for their event.

Matt Ammons is the man!! Our guests loved him. He kept the dance floor moving. He was meticulous about the pronunciation for the grand entrances of both parents and bridal party. He got together with us before the big day to make sure all was outlined correctly. He really takes pride in his work, and knows what's on the radio right now (or at least what people want to hear on the wedding day!). MATT IS AWESOME!

I attended a beautiful wedding a couple years ago where Sounds Abound was DJing and was so impressed that I hired them when planning my own wedding. The DJ we requested unfortunately fell through about 3 weeks before our event and we chose David Wilner for his replacement. From our first meeting to our last song played (Go Cubs, GO!), we were 100% satisfied with the job he did. Tim and I were a little lost on our ceremony and cocktail hour music, and David helped us fill all of that in with excellent recommendations. He acted more as a wedding planner for us (which we badly needed) than a DJ. He was truly our master of ceremonies. Thank you so much, David!

The DJ's and the photo booth from Sounds Abound were great! I love the fact that you can pre-select your music online to help prepare for an event. We had 2 DJ's, a photo booth and a guest book coordinator. Rufus did a great job starting from our wedding ceremony all the way ending in dancing and fun.
I was glad I used the photo booth too. It was fun for the guest and us. We were able to get a lot of fun pictures and they are good quality. We also had an additional lady who helped the guest do a scrap book page for our photo album. We love our album and it is a great keepsake.
I highly recommend using Sounds Abound for all their entertainment options.

Gregg, thank you so much for everything! Words can not express how happy Kurt and I are with you and your team! We got so many compliments about the music and I never saw an empty dance floor! The photo booth was a hit and we had the best time looking through all of the photos! Thank you so much again!! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ!!

Sounds Abound did an awesome job! We were really unorganized and last minute with giving them our plans but they didn't mind! We did not give the DJ any music we wanted to play or did not want to play and we still had a great time and our guests danced all night. Vince was great with song requests. I was very pleased with everything!

David
Thank you so much for being AWESOME! Our guests absolutely raved about you, and we could not be happier with how our day/night was Mc'd and DJ'd...we danced for HOURS and that's because we were having a blast! We got so many compliments on our DJ and we are so glad our guests had a blast too. We can't say "thank you" enough!

We celebrated our wedding with Gregg as our DJ recently. We loved having the online system to add our info and pick songs. Then meeting with Gregg before the wedding was super helpful. The reception was AMAZING!!! Gregg was soooo great with introductions, checking in with us throughout the night, and keeping the dance floor going!!! We loved the music, we loved the evening, and we would definitely recommend Gregg and Sounds Abound for wedding receptions. Thank you for making our day special!

Absolutely THRILLED with Tony's work during our wedding day! Throughout the entire process, he was one of the vendors that kept me the most calm and had a ton of fun with it. My husband and I have a very unique style in music -- everything from MoTown to the latest hits, to really explicit rap music, he understood what we were looking for and had our backs the entire time. The two of us are Sox fan, and we told Tony under no circumstance should "Go Cubs Go" be played, despite them playing on our big day. He stuck with us the entire time and even saved us in the end when we almost gave in 🙂 Tony's shared sarcasm, humor, fun voice and upbeat personality really set the stage for us working with him and he had everyone in our family, including our friends, tearing up the dance floor the ENTIRE night -- it was AMAZING! I have never been to a wedding where the dance floor was occupied the ENTIRE time -- excellent job, Tony!! We wish we could get married a million times again to dance the night away to your playlists!

My husband and I learned about Sounds Abound at a friend's wedding, and we knew when we got engaged that we wanted to use them for our wedding. They were great to work with, easy to communicate with, and we felt their prices were very reasonable. We picked Keith as our DJ and we are so happy that we did! Keith is professional, easy to talk to, and really wanted to make sure we got what we wanted with our music at the wedding. I wanted the dance floor packed all night and Keith made sure that happened! Their online forms were easy to use, and Keith played a great mix of songs we wanted to hear and songs that kept everyone dancing all night long. We highly recommend Sounds Abound and Keith!

We hired Craig from Sounds Abound to be our DJ for our wedding, and he and his assistant were absolutely amazing! Craig got to know us and the type of music we like. At that meeting we could tell that he is very enthusiastic and passionate about his job. The timing for the music for our ceremony went flawless and cocktail hour was a hit. He was very upbeat during our introductions and kept everyone engaged in dancing during our reception. During our reception he checked in with us and was very flexible is adding a specific song in.
Overall, Sound Abound has great staff. From the person we met at the expo, to the rep we were communicating with to help us pick a DJ, I would highly recommend Sounds abound and Craig to others.

Dj Gregg Eisel of Sounds Abound made our silver anniversary party almost as much fun as our wedding. There was never a lull on the dance floor. Our guests have all been asking for a copy of our playlist. I attribute this to Gregg taking the time to personally meet with us and get a feel of our personalities. Guests seated next to speakers commented on their experience being pleasant and grateful for not being blasted out of their seats. Made the evening personable and fun. Great time incorporating the Cubs winning the World Series into our event.

First off, this is long overdue, as our wedding was two months ago, but the DJ we had for our wedding was Matt Ammons. He was beyond fantastic to work with, from the setup stage to the last song, he truly made our wedding amazing. You don't realize how much of a factor the music and DJ play into the overall experience your guests have at your wedding until you have one as fantastic as Matt. We gave him the general type of music we would like during each stage and he ran with it, nailing it right on the head with what we had in mind.

Overall, we cannot say enough nice things about him and would highly recommend him to anyone. He was the DJ for my buddies wedding the year prior, so that is how we chose him for ours. We saw how great he was as a guest and then working with him one on one was a breeze. My guests came up to me throughout the night complimenting how great the music was, the DJ was, and that they were having the time of their lives, which is the hope all bride and grooms hope for their guests.

Thank you so much Matt for making our wedding so memorable, not only for my wife and I, but for all the guests as well!

While, I didn't have many dancing machines at my wedding, it didn't matter my DJ Kyle kept the energy and the atmosphere going more than anything. We were ahead of schedule on so many things it was hard to believe that ended so quickly.

Thanks for the fantastic job!

We worked with Sounds Abound for our wedding and could not have had a more positive experience!!

Prior to the wedding, we has a Skype session with our DJ Kyle to go over the entire nights events, our wants and expectations, and of course music selections. Kyle gave us a play by play for what we could expect and when. It was so nice to be prepared and know when exactly we would need to be around for the cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc. This way it was very organized and everything just ran smoothly. We never felt rushed and could just enjoy every moment.

Kyle and his assistant showed up early the day of the wedding and knew precisely where to set up at the venue. It was such a relief not to have to worry about a thing! The uplighting we chose was so beautiful in our reception room. Kyle also kept everyone out on the dance floor and having a great time! From start to finish the floor constantly had our guests up and dancing. I really could not have asked for a better experience for our special day!

I would HIGHLY recommend DJ Kyle for anyone's event!

My daughter’s wedding required DJ services in 3 different rooms for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Gary Hipperson of Sounds Abound arrived early and had all the equipment set up with time to spare. The music selected for the ceremony, reception entrance and special dances was non-traditional, and Gary played all of it perfectly. Gary made the reception a great party, with all of the families and friends taking to the dance floor. The party was so good that we extended Gary’s services for an extra hour. The bride and groom and their parents were all very happy with Gary’s DJ Services for the wedding. We highly recommend you use him for your wedding!

After researching many different companies and Dj's, we instantly bonded with Craig @ Sounds Abound. It was very important to us that we meet our dj before signing up with them, and he was incredibly accommodating in making that happen. From the minute we met to planning song lists and our timeline for the evening, Craig was absolutely perfect. He gave us a sense of direction, while listening to what mattered most to us. His sense of humor, professionalism and experience really shined throughout this. We LOVED our uplighting the night of and most of the songs played.

The only issue we had was our first dance and parent dances not being played as we had initially discussed. My advice would be to ensure you insist the timeline is adhered to as much as possible. Because there was a delay, many of our guests weren't in the room and missed the dances. Overall though, we loved the music and Craig's MC skills. We're also glad we took Craig's advice in having a second DJ to assist throughout the reception. It really did make a difference. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a fun, confident pro.

Hello,
I would love to give my testimonial! My husband Joe and I had Craig for our DJ. I must say that he was AMAZING! He was interacting with the crowd, teaching line dances, and just all around a fun guy! I would recommend him to anyone who needs a DJ! He also checked in with Joe and I through out the night!
I knew from meeting him the first time that he was going to be great and fun! I will for sure miss working with Craig but if we need a DJ again we will know where to go and who to ask for! I wish I was able to say more about your company and Craig but I would write a long book! Haha!
Again Craig was amazing! Sounds Abound has a real great DJ on their hands!

Our DJ, Kyle O, was incredible! He fulfilled every request we had and was so wonderful to work with. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and we would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat!

Jason,
Thanks again for DJing our wedding this past Saturday at Danada House.  We had an absolute blast.  All of our guests loved the music, and I appreciate your help moving things along.  We will definitely recommend you to our friends!
Thanks again

I definitely recommend Sounds Abound. We used their services for our reception on 9/24/16, and everything turned out just wonderful! Tony Coix was our D.J. and he was excellent. We were able to choose the music from the Sounds Abound website and had options for ‘Must Play’, ‘Additional songs’, and Do Not Play. He played all of the music that we picked out / suggested, and was a great MC for the night. He also speaks Spanish and that was very helpful as he could pronounce my husband's last name correctly (my husband is Cuban). We also had a photo booth and the attendant was friendly and helpful. He even let me add some of my own props. We also had the up lighting and our 'name in lights' ... We were happy with everything, and having an entire Banquet room in purple really made the night extra special !!!

Matt,
Before Mike and I fly off on our honeymoon, we wanted to send you a HUGE thank you for everything you did yesterday!!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect  - you were the best MC for the entrances and speeches, and our wish was more than fulfilled in that we had a packed dance floor the entire night... thank you SO much for keeping the jams going until midnight! I never wanted to leave the dance floor, and so many of my friends kept saying how much they loved every single song that came on!
Seriously, it was just the best and we thank you so much for that! I attached the photo our photographer shared with us last night just to share with you guys as well.

Working with Sounds Abound was wonderful. They were always quick to answer questions and felt extremely organized. We knew which DJ we wanted to work with from a friend and he was fantastic. Tony Ho was always open to conversations with us at any time and made us feel confident our wedding would be fun for everyone. We also had an Arabic DJ and Tony worked extremely well with him. Highly recommend Sounds Abound!

Craig was the DJ for our wedding on October 1st. Craig was great to work without throughout our entire planning process. Not only was he prompt, organized, and friendly, but he did a fantastic job keeping the party going all night!

Thanks Craig and Sounds Abound!

We absolutely loved working with Gary!
It was such an easy process, and with all of the last minute changes we had, he flew threw it flawlessly!
Would highly recommend!!

My wife and I could not be happier with our decision to hire Jason Yach and Sounds Abound to DJ our October 2016 wedding. From our first meeting with SA we were impressed with their online portal that was used for payment, organizing and song selection. It was easy and allowed us to do those things on our own schedule, which was important because it is such a busy time leading up to the wedding. Jason was easily reached by email and we set up a phone conference about two weeks before the wedding. We had a specific kind of DJ in mind. We wanted someone who would abide by our requests for the style of music and reception we wanted and who would keep the party going while also remaining in the background and not making himself the focal point. Jason did exactly that. We asked him to mix in some different time periods but for the most part we wanted him to play 90's and 2000's party music. I asked him to treat most of the reception like "a house party for a bunch of 30-somethings." Jason did not disappoint. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and he was able to meet our requests while also mixing in a couple of slow songs and some other music so that everyone at the reception felt included. He also abided by our request that no organized dances like the chicken dance be played. Jason was fantastic at running the introduction and speech portion of the night. He was on time and a pleasure to deal with. In the week or so since our wedding everyone we talk to has mentioned what an amazing time the reception was and how great the music was. During one of the speeches it was mentioned that some of the wedding party liked to karaoke, so at the very end of the night, once everyone was feeling the effects of the open bar, Jason even handed over the mic to the groom and some wedding party for a little sing-a-long. We could not have asked for a better experience, we would not change a thing, and we would highly recommend Jason Yach and Sounds Abound for anyone considering a wedding or other event.

Thanks for everything,
Renee & Danny Hanichak

My wife and I choose Rufus as our DJ. He was extremely professional and was great to work with throughout the whole process. His energy matched ours and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We flet that the music was a huge part of our wedding, and we are so glad we had Rufus there to take care of everything. Thank you for doing such at great job at our wedding!

We worked with Gregg at sounds abound, and he could not have made the experience any more enjoyable! He worked with us every step of the way, and on the big day was a complete professional, and did an amazing job listing to the crowd and keeping the party going-not just a sports announcer who then let the playlist roll. I would recommend this company to anyone who wants an amazing wedding night with a packed dance floor!

Our DJ was Keith Talaga and I can't say enough good things. Great contact before the wedding and during the reception. He got the wedding party (which was large) organized for the entrance and kept everything moving ahead of schedule. The dance party never stopped once the dance floor opened. People gave us so many compliments on our DJ team and my brother in law even got Keith's info from me in order to book him for his wedding in June! Thank you Keith and Sounds Abound!

Words can't express how happy we were with Sounds Abound. Keith was awesome! He provided the perfect atmosphere for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We were so happy with all of the songs that were played. He made the night awesome! Because of the music choices for dinner, we even had an impromptu dance during dinner! It set the tone for the reception and people were on the dance floor all night! We were so pleased with Keith. Sounds Abound and Keith were so easy to work with and the online platform to upload wedding information was easy to use! I would highly recommend Keith and Sounds Abound! Thank you for making our wedding wonderful!

Our ceremony and reception went so beautifully due to the excellent Job from Gregg from Sounds Abound . One can tell right away he has loads of experience and would offer a friendly suggestion when we needed one . He also listened to the many special requests we asked him to do and he did them with such professionalism . I would recommend Gregg with Sounds Abound whole heartedly. He is a great MC as well superb DJ.

Sounds Abound was a perfect company to work with for all of our wedding entertainment. Not only was every member of their team easy to work with and always available to answer questions, the services they provided were outstanding!

Kyle was our DJ and there aren't enough words to describe how incredible he was! Our dance floor was packed from start to finish, and every request we had, he fulfilled. The online planning system was a great way for us to give Kyle the vibe we wanted for our party, and he absolutely nailed it come wedding day! We have gotten endless compliments about how we had the best DJ our guests have ever experienced!

We also utilized the uplighting and photobooth services, and both were just as perfect as everything else! Highly recommend this company!

I knew when we attended a wedding Kyle was djing for in April of 2014 that I wanted him to DJ my wedding reception. We had Kyle DJ our August 2016 wedding reception and it was the best decision ever! Kyle was so super easy to work with throughout our wedding planning. He made sure from day one that this day was all about us.
On our wedding day he assured my husband and I were having a great time all night. We asked Kyle for one thing and one thing only - and that was to keep our guests on the dance floor all night and he SURE DID! The dance floor was never even close to empty!
We didn't have to worry about a single thing working with Kyle. No question, if you want to have the absolute best time at your wedding, choose Sounds Abound!! We'd choose them every single time!!!

Sounds Abound did such a great job at my friend's wedding I checked them out. Gregg did a fantastic job for her wedding and mine. I really like that you could meet with your DJ ahead of time which was really helpful in everyone understanding what we as a couple were looking for. The software and planning tools they provide are excellent. This made the whole progress easier. I appreciated that they have a final consult before the big day to make sure everything is how you like it. They are very flexible and have great suggestions. Everyone had a blast and was dancing all night. They even did music for my outdoor ceremony.

We had met with a few other DJs, and as soon as we video chatted with Sounds Abound, we knew they were the ones we wanted! We were able to pick our own DJ, which was quite nice. We picked Keith and he was phenomenal! Before the wedding and during, he made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. Keith is friendly and professional. And he did one heck of a job! We received so many compliments on our DJ services from our friends and family. The dance floor was packed the whole night. I would 100% Sounds Abound and specifically Keith to anyone getting married in the Chicago area.

I just wanted to again say thank you so much, I still can’t believe we had a dance party with this group! I’ve really never seen anything like that before and I think a lot of us needed to laugh and dance like that and I really believe it was YOU who made that happen! I can’t tell you how happy I am that we decided to go with you. I have hired several DJ’s over the last couple years and I have to say your professionalism and positive attitude is contagious and you really were above and beyond my expectations.

When I was looking around for a DJ for my wedding I stumbled across Sounds Abound by chance. I am very glad that happened.

When we had our initial visit with Sounds Abound we met with Kyle Overbey. We were immediately impressed by how informative he was. We could tell he was a "pro". Sounds Abound has videos of their DJs on the website. You can watch the videos and get a feel for how the DJs work. We watched them all. We decided to go with Kyle Overbey based on our meeting and the video on the website. Luckily for us he was available for our date. Kyle was very easy to get a hold of and responded to any questions in a timely manner. He met with us a few times to get things exactly how we wanted them to be.

We booked the DJ for the ceremony and reception. Kyle was on point for the ceremony. All the music was exactly as we discussed. Sounds Abound provided a microphone for the officiant as well. Kyle did a great job with introductions at the rehearsal. Throughout the reception he was great. He played the music that was requested. If something was playing that cleared the dance floor he would cut to a better song. He interacted well with the guests. We received positive feedback from our guests that Kyle was very good.

Sounds Abound provides two DJs. The main DJ and an assistant. What a great idea.

We also booked the large photo booth for the wedding as well. The photo booth attendant was great. Sounds Abound provides two copies of the pictures. It's up to the bride and groom if both copies go to the guest or if a hard copy goes to the bride and groom. Sounds Abound provides a USB flash drive with digital copies of the photo booth pictures.

I would suggest Sounds Abound to anybody getting married or in need of a DJ or photo booth for any occasion. I'm sure all of the DJs are great, but if you have your choice. Go with Kyle Overbey. You won't regret it.

This company overall was fantastic for our wedding on 09/09/16 at Meson Sabika in Naperville, IL. The office was always quick to respond to questions or concerns I had and always kept me in the loop. We chose DJ Keith and I couldn't be happier! He was so fluid and professional during our ceremony and reception. He really put me at ease and I knew he had everything under control. He kept us on time and made sure every little detail was addressed. He played great songs and there was never any dead air. I would have DJ Keith at any event I was planning! He was truly amazing!

We know that the DJ portion of a wedding can make or break a night and heard wonderful things about Sounds Abound. After seeing them at a wedding prior to ours we were convinced their people know how to organize a night.

We were paired with Vincenzo who was extremely helpful and willing to work with whatever we needed. After meeting with him he showed his knowledge of music and how to run an evening with an attention to detail and calm demeanor. He fit every need of our music taste while giving us the reassurance of keeping the party going til the end. He hit it out of the park with how well everything went during that day from the organization of the evening to the music that organically grew to match our guests needs.

Aside from the professionalism that Vincenzo showed he was also caring and helpful during the process. I can count multiple times that he stopped by to check in on us to see if we needed anything. I even think he brought me a drink! He is a stand up individual that made it more than just a professional doing his job.

Rufus was spectacular at our daughter and new son-in-law's wedding. He set the tone and kept things fun. All our guest were dancing the night away! We would definitely recommend Rufus and Sounds Abound to anyone else planning a wedding.

We used Sounds Abound for DJ and photobooth for our wedding and we couldn't have had a better experience. Our DJ, Kevin handled the night well and was accommodating to all of our guests. He constantly checked in with me to make sure I was happy with how the evening was progressing. We absolutely loved the photobooth experience, as did all of our guests!

Gregg did an awesome job at our wedding! He was very receptive to what we wanted, and his experience in the business really showed. The dance floor was packed the whole night!

We had David as our DJ for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, and I could not have been more pleased! David was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and he knew exactly how to work the crowd. He and his assistants went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly and all our needs were met. Both adults and kids had a blast, and many people raved about our DJ after the party ended! David truly made the party as successful as it was, and we will absolutely hire him again in two years for my son's Bar Mitzvah!

Sounds Abound was absolutely wonderful to work with for our July 2016 wedding. They are professional, communicative, and most importantly, they have amazing DJs! We were lucky enough to have DJ Matt Ammons for our wedding reception, and he was phenomenal. He made sure that every detail was perfect, from the wedding party introductions to keeping the party going on the dance floor for the entire reception. His attention to detail was excellent. We really wanted to make sure that we had plenty of time for dancing at our reception, and Matt very helpfully kept us on schedule! Our guests were on the dance floor from the first song to the last which was exactly what we hoped for our reception. We truly couldn't have asked for a better DJ experience. Thank you so much to Matt Ammons and Sounds Abound for helping to make our wedding day so perfect!

David from Sounds Abound was absolutely the BEST DJ and also provided uplighting for our wedding. He thought of every detail, read the crowd well on song choices and just let us sit back and enjoy the day! He even helped guide some "sensitive" family matters and everyone raved about how cool/great he was! It's one thing to have great vendors, but by the end of the night David felt like family and I can't imagine having anyone else to be our DJ/MC/Jack of All Trades on our wedding day! Thank you David for not only being a great DJ but a great person, we only hope to be as cool as you someday! 🙂

This past summer we were lucky to be able to book out Ken for three of our cruise night events. Each week he performed we heard nothing but great feedback from community members and businesses that were able to hear him play those nights.
Thank you Ken for sharing your talent with us, we look forward to booking you again.

We had a great overall experience with Sounds Abound for our wedding this August. The online planning tools were very helpful. Tony Ho and his assistant kept the dance floor going ALL night... I can't think of a single lull in the night. He played all the songs we asked for and read our crowd well. Our parents and many others raved about our DJ. Thank you Tony and Sounds Abound for helping to make our night unforgettable!

David
Ben and I don't even know where, how, or who else we EVER would have imagined having for our wedding DJ! You were AMAZING! Totally rocked the day, night, and every par of it. You truly made our day perfect with the way you ran the night, connected, and made it all so smooth and fun! You've already been recommended by us to four people!

Thanks again for EVERYTHING! You truly were incredible David. Ben and I had a blast and really enjoyed having you.

Loved loved loved working with Sounds Abound and Kyle! From the first meeting they were great about going over every detail with us. We made adjustment by adding and eliminating things we wanted throughout the process and it was never an issue. We met with Kyle before our wedding and he definitely eased all concerns we had about the music and flow of the evening. The day of, Kyle was fantastic. He read the crowd and was able to keep our dance floor busy. He was great about heading requests of our guests and making sure the night stuck to our vision while appeasing everyone. Would recommend Kyle and Sounds Abound over and over!

My wife and I picked Sounds Abound for our wedding entertainment. Matt Ammons is not only a great DJ, but also a great host. We did a choreographed dance and even Matt played along in the surprise! Many of our guests asked for his information. We will recommend him and Sounds Abound for any event.

I could not be happier with Sounds Abound. Jason was our DJ and I would recommend him over and over again. Not only did he keep our dance floor PACKED from first song to last, but his playlist could not have been any better. Our guests, from 19 years old to mid 70s, raved about Jason and his playlist. I was so happy to see so many people enjoying the music and dancing the entire night. I was actually shocked at how many people were on the dance floor. THANK YOU JASON AND SOUNDS ABOUND!!!

Ernesto,

You did an amazing job. Gaby and I can't thank you enough for the amazing job you did. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about the quality of DJ'ing you did.

Thank you and we will definitely recommend you to others.

Good luck on your future endeavors. We both wish you the best.

Hi Ernesto. I just wanted to send a super huge thanks for an outstanding job at our wedding on Friday. I can't tell you how many compliments I got on you and the music, I think you really read us 100 percent. I wouldn't have changed a thing, thank you for setting the tone to the night and making it unbelievable. I will 100 percent be recommending especially you and  Sounds Abound for an excellent service.
Thanks again!

Ken Overbey played for our 60's themed surprise birthday party for a friend who was turning 60. His 4-hour live performance was outstanding in every way! Songs from the 60s, 70s and even some 60's tv theme songs. Everyone commented on the fantastic "live" entertainment. Our guests are still sending compliments and we all agree that Ken will be playing at our next gathering. He simply couldn't have been any better and our guests couldn't have been any happier! Thanks for making this party such a memorable event for everyone!

We had Matt Ammons DJ our wedding. He did a phenomenal job. He created the perfect environment for all aspects of our wedding. We would definitely recommend him to others.

Working with sounds abound on the package I wanted and the DJ was very simple. You can work with them over the phone and not even stop by the office. I love the process of selecting you own DJ and they have very good info on each one. My DJ was Tony Ho. He was the best and there was not one point throughout the night where there was no one on the dance floor. Everyone is usually worried about the first song where all your guest can dance and if everyone will start dancing. I didn't have to worry about that with our DJ everyone was on the dance floor right away. I even had one of my friends come and say that was the most successful first dance with all the guest she has ever seen. Tony was also very good with introductions of the wedding party and coordinating all the specialty dances. I would highly recommend this company and DJ Tony Ho.

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Jason Yach as our Dj for our wedding! He met with us prior to our big day, and emailed us and called when he had questions. He came up to us a few times during the reception to make sure everything was going as planned or if there were any changes. He was very alert, attentive and got people to move out of their seats onto the dance floor! He got out most shyest guests to dance, which was amazing!! We were very grateful to have such a wonderful experience on our special day!!

Our wedding was July 23, 2016. We had a wonderful day! Brian at Sounds Abound was so patient and professional! He was prepared and organized and kept our wedding flowing. He was such a fantastic DJ, and an overall great guy. We would recommend Brian Keck from Sounds Abound anytime.

I met Matt at the Sounds Abound open house last year and instantly upon speaking to him knew that I had to have him as the DJ for my wedding. He is a wonderful person to work with- his communication leading up to the day was excellent and his day of performance was out of this world! He willingly took a long list I had put together with special songs I wanted played for my ceremony and cocktail hour without any hesitation and made each and every song happen. The reception was perfect- my husband and I mentioned to him that we are not huge "party people" and hinted at the fact that we would rely on music to get and keep the crowd on the dance floor. Matt did just that and more!! His presence in the room was positive and upbeat and he brought the energy out of us all, all afternoon and evening long. I can't forget to mention that his ability to go with the flow was much appreciated as we had a few changes/additions that came up that morning and he handled them seamlessly- we really appreciated how easy going he was about it all! I cannot thank Matt enough for the wonderful job he did and most definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for any occasion.

We got married on July 3, 2016 and are so glad we chose Sounds Abound to DJ our wedding. Everyone we talked to at the company was very professional, helpful and friendly. We chose Kyle as our DJ and he was fantastic! He made sure our dance floor was packed the entire night and played a variety of music for both the younger and older crowds. He also helped keep us on schedule throughout the night so we didn't need to worry about a thing. We have received so many compliments from guests on how much they loved our wedding and how much fun they had. Everyone also had a blast in the photo booth. My brother has already booked Kyle for his wedding next year and I will definitely continue to recommend him and Sounds Abound to others! Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!

We were initially drawn to Sounds Abound because we attended two weddings where Tony Ho was the DJ and thought he did a great job. Unfortunately Tony was not available on our wedding date, but we hired Larry Merkel instead. I'm so glad we did! Larry was wonderful to work with before the wedding and we have received so many compliments on his work during the wedding! Everyone had so much fun and Larry's DJ-ing playing a large role in that. Larry even saved the wedding ceremony by providing duct tape at the last minute to secure some vases that blew over in the wind (luckily as the bride, I was blissfully unaware of this until the next week!)
I also want to give a shout-out to the Sounds Abound office staff who were very helpful and understanding when our initial venue shut-down and we were scrambling to find a replacement.

Sounds Abound did an amazing job DJ-ing for our wedding! Specifically, our main DJ was David Wilner. He was highly professional and struck a great balance between meeting all of our requests and using his professional judgement to create a seamless, amazing event!

We hired sounds abound for our wedding after having seen them DJ at a friends wedding 2 years prior. We were lucky enough to have Kyle as our DJ and boy did he deliver! He knew EXACTLY the style of music we wanted played and was so easy and willing to work with us and make changes on the fly! You can easily tell he has experience and knows how to get a crowd dancing! We could not be more thrilled with how our night went! If we ever need a DJ for any other event, we will definitely be coming back to sounds abound!

We chose Vince because he was extremely nice when we went to the open house. He was excited to do our wedding and it definitely was the best decision. There was not a moment throughout the whole night that people were not dancing. His song selection was fantastic since we did not provide him very much to work with haha. Overall he kept the flow of the wedding moving without being annoying and every person I talked to said that he was one of the best DJ's they had seen at a wedding. Vince overall did an AMAZING job and I would recommend him to anyone!

In getting married there is a lot of decisions you have to make. The best decision I made was saying yes and marrying my now husband. The second best decision I made was choosing David as our DJ for the wedding.

David was the one thing in the wedding we had no doubts to worries about. After seeing his video and meeting with him we immediately knew we made the right decision. He gave us great pointers and ideas to improve the flow of the wedding and was wonderful helping us choose the correct music!

During the reception the music was fantastic, the styles, timing and flow of music was perfect! David kept the dance floor moving and energized the entire night! He played all of our requests and continually checked on us throughout the evening to make sure WE were have the best time we could have.

We knew David had our best interests in mind and we knew we could trust him? Even now, my friends and family keep coming up to us and tell us how amazing the DJ was. I would highly recommend David for ANY wedding or event!

5 Stars! A++ Gold Star 2 Thumbs Way Up!

-Joanna and Harry

Tony Ho is the best DJ. He kept the dance floor full the entire night at our wedding. Don't feel pressured to give him a ton of songs to play, he is a professional and can totally read the crowd. We had so many complements about him from our wedding guests. Book him for your wedding!

Gary was amazing!! He completely captured our style of music from beginning to end. Our dance floor was never empty and we received so many compliments from our guests. We met with Gary several times before our big day and truly felt like we had a great connection with him. It was wonderful working with someone who made us feel so comfortable. He even came out on the dance floor to pump up the party, and was a huge hit! Thank you!

Matt Ammons was the DJ for our wedding on May 21, 2016 at the Danada House in Wheaton, IL. Matt was INCREDIBLE! He took the time to get to know us beforehand to get a feel for what music we liked and didn't like and to make sure he was fully prepared. For our reception, our tables had musicians instead of numbers - Matt went around to every table and played music from the different artists during the dinner hour. We hadn't asked that of him but it was perfect! His attention to detail and his ability to read a room are fantastic. I highly suggest hiring Matt as your DJ - I would hire him over and over again!

We just had our wedding on July 16, 2016. We could not have asked for a better DJ. Gary was our DJ. He did an amazing job. Our dance floor was never empty. We did not provide Gary with much guidance, only about 10 must play songs. We left the rest up to him. He kept us on schedule with all of the special songs( i.e. first dance etc) through the night. His introductions were elegant and his expertise kept everyone dancing all night long. I really did feel like there was a method behind all of his song choices. It was wonderful to have an experienced DJ who was really an expert at his craft. Everyone at our wedding loved him! He was not only an amazing DJ but he also has a personality that makes him easy to talk to and fun! I would highly recommend Gary and Sounds Abound!

Tony Ho was absolutely wonderful! Intros were great and he was so friendly and personable. Our dance floor was so packed the entire night that people were dancing next to it! The music selection was awesome and Tony knew exactly what to play to please the crowd. Everyone had such a great time with him that after the last song was over everyone started chanting "one more song, one more song"! I could not have possibly been more happy with Tony. I highly recommend him!

I hired Sounds Abound for my wedding and Rufus Cathey was my DJ. He was AMAZING! He played the type of music I requested - and more - and kept the entire wedding on track. We had a smaller, intimate event yet he knew how to manage the mood. Rufus was professional and I'd highly recommend him to anyone who needs DJ services!! Thank you Rufus and Sounds Abound for making my day special!

Absolutely loved working with Craig Mohler with Sounds Abound! We selected him as the DJ for our daughter's wedding. We weren't sure how to get started and Craig was there for us every step of the way. He was a huge help in the planning of both the wedding and reception music. He combined our requests with his knowledge of how to make a wedding reception memorable for the special couple and all the guests. Thanks to Craig, everyone had a wonderful time!!

We absolutely loved our experience with Sounds Abound. They were very helpful from our first meeting all the way to the wedding day. David our DJ was excellent and made the reception great. He also played piano for us during the ceremony which was beautiful. We highly recommend David and Sounds Abound for your wedding day.

We absolutely loved the staff that came to our wedding from Sounds Abound. Jeff was our DJ and he took time during the wedding week to touch base with us and go over everything we had planned and everything we had already input into our Sounds Abound wedding website planner. He really got our vision and how we wanted our party to be less "wedding" and more "Rat Pack Cocktail Party".

One of the biggest hit of the evening was our photo booth! I recommend to everybody who is getting a photo booth, spend the extra money for the scrapbook attendant! She did such an amazing job creating a scrapbook for our guests to sign and post their photos. She didn't just slap the pics down but she creatively placed the photos and used stickers and cut outs to jazz it up. We also received a USB drive of the photos too which is awesome.

I highly highly recommend using Sounds Abound if you ever need a DJ or photo booth!

It is really awesome that a company comes along and holds value for the client. It sounds like common sense but you would be surprised! After much searching I bumped into a place that plays my type of music which is essential to something that is supposed to celebrate a person. The offices were great at answering questions and requests and the DJ, Tony and assistant were the utmost professionals. I would recommend this company based on its workers alone.

We used Sounds Abounds DJ for my mother's birthday and they did a great job. Played all the music we requested along with keeping good music playing the entire night. Certainly a service I'd use again.

Great job, Jeff and thanks again

After debating with our parents about having live music or a DJ, we were nervous about finding a DJ who would provide a good mix of music and really get the party going. We are so thrilled that we chose Sounds Abound! Gary did an amazing job! Many of our guests keep telling us how much they loved the music at our wedding compared to some others that they have been to. They were professional and kept all of the events (speeches, special dances, tosses, etc.) on time but also spread out enough so that it didn't feel like everything was crammed into one. From what we heard, there was a good crowd of people on the dance floor until the very last song! We highly recommend them to everyone and anyone who is looking for a DJ!

Our DJ, Gary, was incredible. He kept the party going all night and got everyone up and moving. The dance floor was packed the whole night and everyone was telling us how awesome the DJ was. Gary would even get out on the dance floor and teach dances to our guests. He was really amazing and you cannot go wrong with him.

Our wedding took place on June 18th, 2016 at my parents horse farm in Oswego. For the whole day everything seemed to be running behind schedule, and as I pulled up the driveway in my carriage, I saw Matt Ammons at the top of the hill. He gave me a nod and I knew everything was going to be okay for the rest night. When you have Matt as your DJ, everything is taken care of. Even before the wedding he listens to your ideas and offers suggestions to make things better. He plays the songs on your playlist and adjusts music through the night based on what the crowd is doing. He makes sure that the dance floor is always busy and creates a fun atmosphere for all partygoers. Not to be forgotten was his fabulous assistant, Cal. Cal worked hard all night making sure music was ready to go and everything was running smooth. People are still talking about our wedding and how much fun they had dancing to all the tunes that Matt played. If you want your wedding to be a stress free and fabulous time, Matt Ammons is your guy! Thank you for everything Matt!!

We had a fabulous time all thanks to our DJ Matt Ammons. He was extremely fun and professional and kept our dance floor crowded! We have continued to get compliments on how fun our reception was and how great the music was! Matt kept it fun and not theatrical. We would definitely recommend Matt Ammons to anyone!
