What an amazing night! We had a great time!
September 23rd, 2023

Ray was GREAT! He kept the guest dancing and everyone had an amazing time. We didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you so much!

An amazing company and an all around amazing Dj experience
To say this company is the most down to earth company I worked with during my wedding experience would be an understatement! From the moment I reached out, I knew I would be in good hands. Tony Ho, the owner, responded to most of my initial emails promptly and with great detail, at times anticipating my follow up questions and providing answers prematurely (my bridal brain thanks you for this). The office staff (Nicole) kept in contact with me from then on. They sent reminder and confirmation emails about payments which eased my mind, followed up to make sure all my questions were answered, and always checked in along the way. On our wedding day, Ray Jones went above and beyond! He was actually the very first person to greet my bridesmaids and I outside the venue even! I could tell he had already spent time to familiarize himself with the grooms and groomsmen too because everyone was immediately comfortable around him. Ray called me a few days before the wedding to go over pronunciation of names, song requests, and timeline, and showed up with all his own equipment on the day of-including lights and microphones. Everything ran so smoothly and Ray had a way of catering to all our guests no matter the age while also ensuring that he met our needs as a couple. His talent and passion truly shows through to his work. This company as a whole truly loves what they do and it shows. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding or event and an incredibly personalized experience along the way. Thanks so much to the team for all that you do!

We were in need of a DJ for our wedding this past August and Sounds Abound was referred to us by multiple people & several of our vendors. So, it was a no brainer! We ended up choosing Keith as our DJ and we made it very clear from the start that great dance music and a sense of humor was a must - and he did not disappoint! Keith was very easy to work with and he gave us awesome recommendations / suggestions to ensure both the ceremony & reception flowed smoothly and were a good time. Let’s just say that by the end of the night, almost everyone came up to me and said that it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to because of the awesome music selection. With that being said, I highly recommend Keith and the Sounds Abound team!

Betty and I were beyond pleased with Ray on our special night. He was a complete pro. He had the party dancing the whole night. He indeed made our night most memorable. Would most highly recommend his expertise at any event. Regards. John and Betty

Grand Slam of a MC

Our DJ MC Mr. Ray Jones blew our expectations out of the park! My wife and I have a very diverse taste in music and he was so accommodating! Very professional and beyond personable. All the transitions through the wedding were so smooth and our special requests were accomplished with some pizzaz thanks to Ray. I can not express how much of an amazing job Ray did! 10 stars all the way!
September 3rd, 2023
We used Sounds Abound for our DJ, lighting, and photo booth! Very happy with all services provided. DJ Craig met with us twice beforehand to learn about our music preferences, and he provided an excellent music selection and amazing MC experience for our reception! Our guests LOVED the photo booth experience with fun props and accompanying guestbook- highlight of the night for many of our friends!
July 1st, 2023
This company was recommended to us by two friends that were married before us. They came highly recommended and did not disappoint. They were in great communication with us from the start and listened to what we wanted for our special night. They played a lot of the songs we really wanted and did a great job of reading the crowd. Brian was our DJ. He could tell when we needed to play more slow or fast songs and did a great job of playing what we wanted. He also checked in with us to see if we needed anything and made himself available to us. Brian and Tony did amazing and we would recommend them for any event!
September 2nd, 2023
Jason Y took the time to have a conference call before the wedding to get our “vibe” as a couple, preferences, must plays and don’t plays. It is apparent he does this because he truly enjoys it.
September 2nd, 2023
Nate and I are so happy that we went with your company for DJ/photobooth services! Matt, our DJ, and the photobooth assistant did such an amazing job and we received many compliments on our wedding night! They both helped make the night such a memorable, special experience from the time of our ceremony to the end of our reception! We are very thankful we hired your company, and will recommend you guys to anyone else we know.
August 26th, 2023
Thank you so much for DJing our wedding! It was one of the best days of our lives, and you truly captured the music vibes we were going for. We received so many compliments on the music from our family and friends. Nobody wanted to get off of the dance floor! INCLUDING US! The dance floor vibes were absolute perfection.
August 5th, 2023
Thank you so much for your incredible contribution to our wedding day! Your talent, energy, and skill as our wedding DJ kept everyone dancing and celebrating through the night. Your ability to read the crowd and play the perfect music at the right moments added an extra layer of fun to our day. We loved how you opened the dance floor with the macarena, chicken dance, and congo line! And, you definitely made me look amazing by helping to keep the mother-son dance song a secret! We would happily recommend you to anyone who needs a DJ! We are truly thankful for everything you did to make our wedding day perfect!
August 4th, 2023
Mike did a great job! He followed the plan and the music and sound was perfect. What a pleasure working with both of you. We will definitely recommend you to others!
August 18th, 2023
Great service with consistent emails and a great price too. They did a lot of the work and really just needed our information and preferences for the reception. Mike was our DJ and I would recommend him to anyone for any event
August 4th, 2023
So Memorable!
It was a pleasure to meet and work with you. You did a fantastic job as I hope you could tell by how many of us danced and danced and sang along. You managed to mix in some very disparate types of music and keep everyone happy. Thank you for all you contributed to making the wedding last Saturday a memorable one. I am happy to recommend to anyone.
August 12th, 2023
Unforgettable party thanks to Tony Ho!
We had the best experience with Sounds Abound!!! Owner Tony Ho was the DJ for our reception and made it a party we will never forget. Prior to the wedding, Tony and his team had extremely quick replies to our questions and were very easy to work with. Tony radiates with excitement and was set up ready to go for our day hours ahead of time. His MC and DJ skills are both amazing. Our dance floor was packed the whole night and we couldn't have dreamed of a better night! I could not recommend Tony more!
July 8th, 2023
PHENOMENAL!!!!
Tony was phenomenal. He is a professional on all levels and truly excels at his craft. Tony was a one man show - able to seamlessly transition people and equipment through all aspects of the wedding. As our MC he knew how and which moments to help make shine.
One of the absolute highlights of our wedding was how Tony was able to get literally every single person at our wedding up and dancing on the FIRST song. We had 200 people - no easy task! In under 20 seconds of him starting the first song, the dance floor was a sea of people and to us it was truly magical. It was a perfect first song choice and we’ll always be thankful to him for that. He then kept that dance floor filled the remainder of the night.
We would highly recommend Tony and Sounds Abound!
July 1st, 2023

Tony Ho and his website made it very easy to select, add, and prioritize the songs and albums for our daughters Quinceanera. The DJ Tony Coix was great and fun. He helped me out when it came to speech time. I highly recommend them. I had nothing to worry about for the planning or the day of the event, they were self-sufficient and wonderful to work with.
July 8th, 2023
DJ and Photobooth!!!
We used Sounds Abound for our 52nd high school reunion. The owner, Tony Ho was professional and responded immediately to any questions or needs that we had. The DJ, Craig Moeller, was excellent. He made many announcements for us and played our 70’s playlist perfectly. He was friendly, professional and very agreeable to all our needs. I would recommend him without reservation. We also had their photo booth for our event. Joe, the attendant was excellent and professional and everyone had fun getting their pictures taken by him. It was a very fun feature of our event. Both men set up and took down their equipment in a very professional way. We were all so happy with both of them and would definitely use Sounds Abound again.
August 5th, 2023
Ray Jones was the BEST DJ/MC to work with! Since the moment we talked to him on the phone when trying to find our DJ/MC, we knew right away he would be the perfect match for us. He has strong energy and truly cares about his job. Ray also was very flexible, especially when making a few changes to our original song selections for the bridal party and bride/groom entrance. We also used the photo booth with Sounds Abound, and our guests loved it! Sounds Abound in general is very organized (by sending reminder e-mails about surveys to complete and to payment reminder), plus everything is easily accessible by an online website. I would highly recommend working with Ray and the Sounds Abound team!
July 8th, 2023
Craig Mohler was fantastic! He did a wonderful job at our 50th Wedding Anniversary Party on July 23rd. He kept everyone dancing on the dance floor. We had a lot of comments after the party on what a great time they had, and I contribute that to him.
July 23rd, 2023
I love Sounds Abound
Matt was our DJ/MC and he was wonderful. He met with us a month before the wedding to discuss everything in detail. He also answered any and all questions I had. The whole staff at Sounds Abound were fantastic. Got so many compliments on our wedding music. I couldn’t be happier with them!
July 22nd, 2023
If we could give DJ Jason (and Sounds Abound) a higher rating than 5, we absolutely would. He was our wedding DJ this past weekend, and we are still physically recovering days later from constant dancing on the dance floor. He played one killer song after the next, and our guests had the best time. People of all ages truly did not leave the dance floor the whole night! We’ve gotten so many compliments from everyone who was there! The whole company has been fantastic to work with and made it so easy (and fun) to plan our day. If you want to have one hell of a party, we highly recommend Sounds Abound and Jason!!
July 15th, 2023
Energetic VOICE!
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.
October 22, 2022
Sounds Abound and especially our DJ, Steve Drews, were a joy to work with for our wedding reception! They were professional and flexible when our plans changed. Their pricing was super reasonable, and there were no surprises or hidden fees. Steve kept all of our guests on the dance floor and made sure everyone had a great time. We would definitely recommend them without hesitation for anyone in need of a DJ. Thanks again, Sounds Abound!
September 25, 2021
Thank You Sounds Abound!
We are so grateful to have hired Tony as our wedding DJ for our June 2023 wedding! From our first phone call with him, we knew he would be a great fit! He answered of our questions, was incredibly responsive, and helped us have the party of a lifetime! Thank you Sounds Abound team for making it a night to remember!
June 17th, 2023
ABSOLUTE BEST!!!
Tony was the absolute best!!! He made our wedding a hit, it was over 2 weeks ago and we still have friends and family telling us how much fun they had dancing the night away! Tony was so talented with reading the crowd and figuring out what to play next. He worked with us to create an amazing playlist and even made a special father daughter dance mix for my dad and I, which was so much fun as a father/daughter dance! Everyone has been raving about how fun it was!! The best man danced so hard he ripped his pants within 5 minutes and kept going until the end! We cannot thank you enough!Will forever recommend Tony and Sounds Abound!!
June 3rd, 2023
DJ Tony Ho!!!!
DJ Tony Ho surpassed our expectations! We gave him such a vast variety of music for my Hispanic/Italian wedding and he killed it! My husband and I thought he played every song at the perfect time to set the vibe for the night. I could not recommend him enough! All of my guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, but honestly it would not have been possible without Tony Ho! He knows what he’s doing. I will continue to use him in the future for any big events 🙂 thank you so much Tony!
May 27th, 2023
Oh YNot - Tony Ho
Tony is the best DJ in town. He was in touch with us throughout the weeks leading up to the wedding and even a week before to go over final details. He played every song we asked him to without fail. He’s amazing.!!!! Hire Tony! You will not regret it
May 26th, 2023
Tony brought the party!
We are so grateful we came across Sounds Abound for our wedding! Tony is the absolute best DJ, friends and family are still raving about how great he was two months later. Tony listened to us to hear what we were looking for, a fun party at the Wilder Mansion, he gave us that! He worked with us to use music we loved at the right time throughout the evening. The vibes were amazing and everyone had a blast! Tony’s equipment is sleek and elevated our event. Book now, you will be so happy you did..and everyone will be asking you who your awesome DJ was! Thanks Tony!
May 20th, 2023
We had the pleasure of Geoff being our DJ and MC for our wedding. He had done another wedding we attended, so it was an easy choice from the start! Prior to our wedding day, we had a request of a mash-up for the father/daughter dance. Tony delivered the perfect combination of songs to meet our needs and ensured our day-of DJ had the track ready to play. On our wedding day, Geoff was cool and calm, yet kept our timing on track. Many of our guests told us that he did a great job keeping the party alive. He took everything we requested of him and made it a reality on our dance floor. We would strongly recommend Sounds Abound and DJ Geoff to anyone who wants their wedding to be a real party!
July 1st, 2023
SPECTACULAR, do not look over this Company they are worth every dime.
My husband and I chose Sounds Abound to host our wedding June 18th and I’m so happy we did. There are not enough words to use. From the ceremony to the end of the reception our DJ Keith was on point. Keith was our MC and he knocked the expectations out of the park. He was such a big help and he made our day even more special. True professional, it was like having an extra wedding coordinator. Trust me they are highly capable and I highly recommend them. Thank you Sounds abound Thank you Keith!!! The experience was amazing and we got a lot of compliments. The music was jumping.
June 18th, 2023
The perfect DJ
I just wanted to say how amazing Brian was for my wedding. Brian was very professional, attentive, and caring throughout the planning and wedding. We loved that we were able to customize specific things for how we wanted our music and night to flow and Brian was able to deliver. We cannot thank Brian and Sounds Abound for making our night so special and one to remember! I would recommend this entertainment company and specifically Brian to anyone who is looking for an awesome and fun DJ to work with.
July 8th, 2023
Book DJ Geoff immediately! He was absolutely fantastic! We gave him a few must plays and a few suggested songs and basically told him to play whatever keeps the dance floor hopping. The dance floor was packed literally all night. We got so many compliments from our guests and several weeks later people are still commenting on how much fun the dance floor was. The two of us had promised to take a few minutes to step back from everything together and just take it all in. We had such a hard time tearing ourselves off the dance floor because Geoff was playing hit after hit. He did a great job playing a few special requests during dinner, helped MC the night like a pro, and helped with a surprise shoutout. He was professional, super fun, and absolutely rocked as a DJ. Don’t hesitate another minute!
June 24th, 2023
Sounds Abound did a wonderful job at our wedding! They were very easy and professional to work with. Our DJ was Ray Jones and he kept everyone dancing all night! We also did an open air Photo Booth through Sounds Abound. Tony designed the background for us to match our invitation. Our guests absolutely loved it!
June 17th, 2023
Craig did a wonderful job at our wedding. He met with us 2 times prior to our actual event to square away all details. This made the event go very smoothly. We really enjoyed his level of professionalism and fun!
June 10th, 2023
We had Jason as our DJ, and he was absolutely phenomenal!! He kept the party going and the dance floor full all night! He was super easy to work with and made sure that all of our “must play” songs were played! 1000/10 recommend!!!!!!!!!
May 27th, 2023
Our experience with Sounds Abound was fantastic! Their online form is very extensive and helpful to plan out everything needed for our special day regarding the music, and Geoff, our DJ, did a great job MCing the day, helping everything flow smoothly, and incorporating all of our requested music into our ceremony and reception.
May 27th, 2023
My husband and I got married back in early January of 2023, and an epic dance party was very important to us to have. Let me tell you that Tony Ho DID NOT disappoint!! We got referred to him by multiple vendors and people, and he definitely lived up to the hype!! The music was going all night long, as did the dancing. Tony Ho is amazing at feeling out the crowd and play music to keep everyone on the dance floor. We did a private last dance too, which he secretly documented beautifully!! HIGHLY recommend!! You will certainly not be disappointed!!
Wedding of 2023
Jason was incredible! He took all of our song suggestions and combined them into the most incredible playlist. We still have guests raving about how incredible the music was. We didn’t want to stop dancing which is just a reflection on how great the Sounds Abound team is. We are so lucky to have found them.
May 20th, 2023
“Nick was a great guy to work with. My wife and I were very impressed with his professionalism and courtesy towards us from start to finish. He met with us regularly, beginning over a year prior to the wedding date. His equipment was perfect for the event and the space and he made sure to come in prior to the date to ensure everything was working properly on his end. He was cooperative with our coordinator and maintained communication with her also. During our wedding, he took all requests, kept the room energized and lively with his music selections and respected all guests’ wishes. We strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ who can accommodate for either very specific tastes, no preferences, or anywhere in between.”
Best DJ ever!!!
Allan and I had our wedding May 20,2023 and we had Brian Keck as our DJ and he was fantastic !!! He was professional, fun, patient, and an overall good time! We got so many compliments throughout the night about how awesome he was! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ! Thank you so much, Brian!
May 20th, 2023
My wife and I chose Sounds Abound and their DJ Keith for our wedding reception and we couldn't have been happier. Keith worked with us weeks in advance answering any question we had and gave us helpful advice. He paid attention to every detail including pronunciation of some difficult surnames and finding international/foreign music. He did a great job of creating a fun and unforgettable wedding night. The music flowed and our guests were on the dance floor all night long. I would highly recommend Sounds Abound and Keith in particular, who is the ultimate professional.
May 13th, 2023
Joyful and FUN!!!
We had the distinct pleasure of having the owner, Tony Ho, as our DJ for our ceremony and reception. He knocked it out of the park! From day 1 working with Tony and Sounds Abound was amazing. They are extremely responsive, organized and also help you to think about details you may not have considered. Our guests had rave reviews about how amazing the music was at the reception and the dance floor was packed! We also added on the Photo Booth for our reception and it was worth every penny! It was an added party favor for guests to go home with their photos. Tony set the tone for our wedding to be one of joy and most importantly , FUN. We are so grateful to have had him!
April 29th, 2023
AMAZING!!!

My husband and I got married on April 22nd and now being two weeks out we reflect on how absolutely perfect it was from start to finish. We couldn’t have ask for a more magical day and a large reason for that was sounds abound with DJ Tony Ho!! He is so personable, dedicated to making sure the day ran smoothly and everyone had a great time. He somehow found a way to mix in our music taste which isn’t really wedding dancing music and it was the perfect touch of “us” that is one of our favorite things to look back on. We had the Photo Booth as well and the attendant was incredible!! So interactive with all of our guests and looking back at those photos gives us belly laughs. We have said multiple times now how we wish we could get married every year because of how amazing the day was. Thank you again sounds abound and DJ Tony Ho!!! Book this man!!!
April 22nd, 2023
Tony Ho DJ'd my wedding and the dance floor was wild. Excellent emcee, super flexible on timing, the online portal was easy to use, and everything went off without a hitch. Will be recommending him to everyone I know that needs a DJ
April 15th, 2023
Sounds Abound came highly recommended by my wedding planner and it was easy to see why. From the beginning, the owner was extremely helpful in getting our date booked and selecting a DJ for the day of our wedding. Their online system was such a life saver in terms of layout of the evening (ceremony music, first dance, entrances, etc) to helping find all the amazing music you could imagine for your reception. My now husband felt that people "just don't dance at weddings anymore" and was concerned, however, Geoff kept the energy up all night long. We had constant movement on the dance floor for a night we will forever cherish.
April 30th, 2023
5 Star Experience
DJ Geoff did an amazing job from start to finish. He guided us through the planning stages and double-checked everything during the event. He’s very professional and made sure that our guests had the best night of their life. I highly recommend DJ Geoff and the entire Sounds Abound team. Highly responsive and very easy to work with. I’d give the entire team a 10/10. Thank you so much for making our wedding memorable and special!
April 29th, 2023
Thank You!!!

Glam Glow & Tony Ho!!!
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!!!
March 18th, 2023
One of the best DJ's in the business!
The work of the Sounds Abound team went far beyond all our expectations! The planning process was very easy and Tony was very responsive to all of our questions and was able to incorporate special musical selections for our Polish American wedding reception! Tony is an exceptionally talented DJ and kept the energy going all night! We also loved the photo booth! The attendant, Brandon, was extremely friendly and fun!
March 11th, 2023
Stress less on your Wedding Day
I chose Sounds Abound, specifically Keith for our wedding DJ, along with uplighting. They have a nice event planner that you can fill in as you know what songs you want for your ceremony or what songs you absolutely want played or any you don't. Everyone had such a fun night! Dance floor was packed and Keith didn't even flinch at any song we requested - even a Greek dance! Our songs we wanted were played and I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. He checked with us the week before and said he was the only vendor we could change things with the day of! (We didn't but this was VERY stress relieving) He double checked before doing anything and didn't play any of our no plays! Brought his own set up - didn't need anything from the venue. He was ready if it rained because we had an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. Would highly recommend if you don't want to worry about music, people dancing or announcements on your wedding day!!!!!!!
April 8th, 2023
Great DJ, Great Formal
Sounds Abound was a great company to work with. They made the booking process so easy and the price was great with our budget. Our DJ Keith Talaga was absolutely fantastic we gave him two different sets of music for different parts of our event and he did great with both of them. Making sure the music matched the mood we wanted to set. He did everything we asked and more people could not leave the dance floor (even having some impromptu conga lines) mixing songs from all types of genres and keeping our guests engaged. We will look back on this event with great memories and a lot of it has to do with the music. We loved working with Sounds Abound and Keith. They were able to make our formal a night remember for years to come!
April 15th, 2023
Gary was the perfect addition to our wedding!! I wanted to be on the dance floor all night and he delivered!! Not only was I dancing all night but so were my guests. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Gary and Tony. We have gotten so many comments about how much fun everybody had dancing the night away!
March 31st, 2023
Look no further- best DJ around!
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!
March 4th, 2023
The BEST Wedding DJ!
The work of the Sounds Abound team went far beyond all our expectations! The planning process was very easy and Tony was very responsive to all of our questions and was able to incorporate special musical selections for our Polish American wedding reception! Tony is an exceptionally talented DJ and kept the energy going all night! We also loved the photo booth! The attendant, Brandon, was extremely friendly and fun!
February 18th, 2023
We are very happy to have retained Sounds Abound and specifically DJ Matt Ammons for our April wedding! Making specific requests of Sounds Abound via their tool was easy, especially as our first dance song changed twice, and Matt himself was absolutely fantastic night of even with our very small guest list of somewhat older folks who are more accustomed to “Shout” than “Get Low”. Matt and Sounds Abound rolled with it, were prompt and professional, and I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone getting married.
April 1st, 2023
I wanted to reach out and let you know how happy we were with Mike as our DJ for our wedding on 4/1. A friend of ours used Sounds Abound for their wedding and recommended them to us. We could not have been more happy with the company and Mike. He kept everyone on the dance floor and made sure to include the mix of music we asked for. Thank you for helping make our wedding amazing with great music!
April 1st, 2023
Best DJ I could have asked for!
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!

BEST Time!!!
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!
December 31, 2022
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!
December 4, 2022
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.
November 19, 2022
Thank You!
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.

TONY HO & Sounds Abound are Simply the Best!!!
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.
December 31, 2022
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!

10/10 Couldn’t Recommend More!
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!
October 15, 2022
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.
December 31, 2022
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!
December 31, 2022
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.
December 10, 2022
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!
December 3, 2022
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!
December 7, 2022
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.

The Greatest Showman Ever!!!
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!
March 20, 2022
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!
November 11, 2022
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.
November 19, 2022
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.
October 8, 2022
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!!!!
November 4, 2022
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!
November 11, 2022
Life of the PARTY!!
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!
October 22, 2022
10/10!
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.
November 5, 2022
12/10 Job!!!
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!!!!
November 12, 2022
Best DJ Around!!
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!

AMAZING

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.
November 5, 2022
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!
October 1, 2022
Brian is fantastic!
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.
October 15, 2022
Book Tony Ho!
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!
September 25, 2022
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.

Ray Jones was AMAZING!
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!
October 8, 2022
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!
October 29, 2022
Absolutely Incredible!
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!!!
October 8, 2022
Tony Ho is the best!!!!

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!!
October 7, 2022
Amazing!
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!!!
September 16, 2022
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!
September 24, 2022
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!
October 21, 2022
DJ TONY HO IS THE WAY TO GO!
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!

24 Hours!!!
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

Don’t snooze on DJ Tony Ho! HE WAS THE BEST
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, made our wedding night a total party!
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!!
September 17, 2022
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!
September 25, 2022
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!
October 8, 2022
Berlin/Neverman Wedding
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!
September 10, 2022
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!
September 24, 2022
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!
September 17. 2022

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!
August 14, 2022
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.
September 24, 2022
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!
September 9, 2022
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.
August 19, 2022
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!
August 19, 2022
Simply the Best!
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!
August 12, 2022
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.
May 28, 2022
Sounds Abound was just awesome!
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!!
July 29, 2022
Fantastic!!!

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.

Ray Jones: YOU NEED HIM IN YOUR LIFE

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!!!

Matt Ammons - DJ/MC Rocks!
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!

Perfect Entertainment Team!
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!
August 6, 2022
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!
July 22, 2022
Simply the Best
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!
July 24, 2022
Amazing!
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!
June 24, 2022
Our favorite wedding vendor to work with!

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!
July 22, 2022
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.
July 22, 2022
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!
July 8, 2022

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!
July 9, 2022
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!
April 30, 2022
Ray Jones kept our guests entertained, helped make sure the reception flowed how it was supposed to, and honored every music request we made!
July 2, 2022
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!
July 2, 2022
What a Night!
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!
July 2, 2022
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!
June 15, 2022
Professional & Fun!

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!
June 25, 2022
Best DJ Service All Time!
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!
June 18, 2022
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!
June 11, 2022
So good that I wanted to add more...

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.
June 11, 2022
Great, personable DJ!
Tony's sizzle reel video on his website is true to life - he's dynamic, professional, and very pleasant and easy to work with!
June 26, 2022
Amazing DJ
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.
June 18, 2022
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!
June 11, 2022
June 25, 2022
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!
June 25, 2022
Great to work with!
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.
May 14, 2022
Amazing Night!

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!
May 29, 2022
BEST day ever
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.
June 11, 2022
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.
June 17, 2022
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.
June 4, 2022
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!”
June 4, 2022
Wedding DJ
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.
May 27, 2022
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!
June 11, 2022
Sounds Abound, in particular Tony Ho, exceeded our expectations
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)

While DJing at Elite Sounds in Kansas City
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! 🙂

While DJing at Elite Sounds in Kansas City
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 and Sounds Abound will keep EVERYONE on the Dance Floor!

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!!
May 28, 2022
Prom Fun
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!
May 5, 2022
Tony Ho!!!
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!
May 21, 2022
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!!
May 20, 2022
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!
May 14, 2022
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!!
May 21, 2022
BLOWN AWAY!

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!
April 30, 2022
You need Sounds Abound for your wedding!! They make it a real party!!!
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!
April 9, 2022
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.
April 30, 2022
Excellent DJ and Emcee
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!
March 19, 2022
Amazing!!
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!
April 2, 2022
Sounds abound is AMAZING!

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!!
April 23, 2022
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!!
April 9, 2022
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.
March 21, 2022
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!
March 12, 2022
Be Ballin'

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!
February 26, 2022
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!!!
February 26, 2022
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!!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G DJ Services
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!
February 14, 2022
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!
January 8, 2022
Tony Ho is THE MAN
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.
January 22, 2022
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!

Best DJ Ever
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!

An Absolutely Amazing Time!

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!

Tony Ho is the best!
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!!

Great Music and Great DJs
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.
October 29, 2021
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!

Tony was amazing!!
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!
December 17, 2021
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
December 4, 2021
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!
December 18, 2021
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!
December 11, 2021
Excellent job!
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
November 28, 2021
Amazing DJ!
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!
November 26, 2021
Best Wedding DJ Ever!
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!
November 19, 2021
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!
October 15, 2021
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!
November 13, 2021
Great Time
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.
November 13, 2021
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!
November 27, 2021
STILL getting compliments!
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!
October 29, 2021
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!
August 7, 2021
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!
October 9, 2021
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!
November 13, 2021
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.
October 2, 2021
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!
September 25, 2021
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!!
October 9, 2021
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!
November 12, 2021
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!!
November 6, 2021
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.
November 13, 2021
Couldn't have imagined better!
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.
October 15, 2021

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!

Tony Ho of Sounds Abound is Hands Down The Best in the Midwest
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!
October 15, 2021
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!
October 2, 2021
You want this guy on your team...
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.
September 26, 2021
Geoff Rafferty did a great job! We had so many compliments from our guests
October 9, 2021
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.
October 15, 2021
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!
October 9, 2021
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!
September 24, 2021
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.
October 23, 2021
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.
July 31, 2021
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!
August 28, 2021
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!
October 9, 2021
Go with Tony Ho!
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!
August 28, 2021
Oh Y Not!

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!
October 1, 2021
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!!!
July 24, 2021
Great Entertainment
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!
September 18, 2021
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
October 8, 2021
Kyle is the best!

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!!
September 26, 2021
Ray was great!
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!!
September 25, 2021
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!
September 17, 2021
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!
September 24, 2021
One Less Thing to Worry About
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.
August 2021
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!
September 25, 2021
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!
July 31, 2021
Great company!

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!
September 9, 2021
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.
September 18, 2021
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!
August 28, 2021
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!
September 5, 2021
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.
September 4, 2021
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!
July 9, 2021
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.
September 4, 2021
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!
August 28, 2021
September 4, 2021
Michael Lang is the BEST!
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.

Expert Entertainers
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!
August 28, 2021
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.
August 20, 2021
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!

Book Tony NOW!
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!
August 14, 2021
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!

Amazing Experience
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!
June 26, 2021
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.
August 1, 2021
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!
July 31, 2021
OH Y NOT
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!!!!
July 31, 2021
Perfect for our wedding!
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.
August 2, 2021
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!
July 31, 2021
Fun & Easy to work with!
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 🙂
July 17, 2021
Above and Beyond!
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!
July 23, 2021
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!

Absolutely amazing!
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!
July 17, 2021
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!
July 23, 2021
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!
June 20,2021
Absolutely Wonderful
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!
July 16,2021
THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
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!!
July 16, 2021
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!!
May 22, 2021
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.

Best Choice!
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!!
May 15, 2021
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.
July 18, 2021
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.
July 17, 2021
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!
July 17, 2021

Amanda and team were AMAZING! Played all different varieties of music, everyone was complimenting them through night. Highly recommend!!!
July 3, 2021
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.

Rescheduled Wedding: 2020 Bride
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!
July 15, 2021
Soundsabound was AMAZING!
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!
July 10,2021
Best DJ! Do not even think twice!
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!
June 11, 2021
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.
June 5, 2021
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.
July 2, 2021
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!
July 1, 2021
Keith is the BEST!
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!!
June 26, 2021
Thank You
Awesome dance-all-night fun
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!
June 26, 2021
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!
June 6, 2021
10/10 would recommend
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.
June 13, 2001
Look No Further Than Sounds Abound!
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!
June 3, 2021
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!!
May 7, 2021
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.
May 21, 2021
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.
June 5, 2021
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.

Made Senior Prom Epic
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!
April 30, 2021
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.
May 8,2021
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!
April 24, 2021
Tony Ho Best Man For the Job
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!
May 1, 2021
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!
April 10, 2021
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!!!
May 7, 2021
Thank you again so much! You truly made our special day the best night we could have hoped for!
October 5, 2019
Thanks for making our night so fun!! Everyone loved the music, you guys were awesome! Thanks for spending your Saturday with us!
October 3, 2020
Sounds Abound is a must for your wedding!
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.
March 12, 2021
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!!!
October 3, 2020
Best DJ During Covid!!
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.
November 28, 2020
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!
October 31, 2020
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!!
September 25, 2020
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 🙂
October24, 2020
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.
October 3, 2020
Couldn't be more please
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!

GREAT SERVICE
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.
November 16, 2019
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.

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!

From Kris - MOB
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!

Great service and phenomenal DJ

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.
August 15, 2020
Amazing DJ!!
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!!!
STRESS FREE
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.
August 22, 2020
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!
January 11, 2020
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.
September 7, 2019
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.

David Wilner and Sounds Abound made our wedding entertainment spectacular
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.

DJ Tony Ho was the best!!
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!!!
February 16,2020
Amazing company to hire for your special day!
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.
January 24, 2020
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!
July 6, 2019
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!!
January 10, 2020
Fun and lively

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!
December 13, 2019
Rufus was wonderful, he made the reception so great. We received so many comments on how great he was!
December 27, 2019
Sounds Abound, thank you so much for being one of the best parts of our day. Kyle was our DJ and he was so comforting to work with from our very first conversation. We probably spent over an hour on the phone talking about our preferences, the flow of the night, and mapped out everything we wanted. Sounds Abound also has a really easy to use and extremely helpful program online where you can select an ideal playlist for the night. Kyle was energetic, had a clear voice when announcing, and kept the dance floor poppin' the ENTIRE night. If anyone out there is planing and wedding and looking for an affordable, energetic, throw-the-best-party-of-your- |

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!

Holiday Party
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.
December 13, 2019
So much fun, talent, and genuine care for their clients!
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!
November 23, 2019
We wanted to thank you SO much for making our wedding day awesome. You were great and super flexible. Everyone involved in the wedding had nothing but fantastic things to say about your professionalism, work ethic, and positive attitude.

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.
December 6, 2019
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.

Absolutely perfect!

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!
November 2, 2019
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!
October 19, 2019
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!
November 2, 2019
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!
November 2, 2019
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.
October 12, 2019
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!
October 19, 2019
Tony Ho was great
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.
October 11, 2019
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
October 18, 2019
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.
October 26, 2019
October 11, 2019
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! 🙂
October 13, 2019
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 🙂
October 19, 2019
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!
September 28, 2019
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.
July 20, 2019
Put your mind at ease and dance the night away!
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!
September 1, 2019

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
September 28, 2019
September 15, 2019
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!
August 10, 2019
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!
September 1, 2019
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!
October 5, 2019
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!
October 12, 2019
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!
October 12, 2019
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.

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.
September 21, 2019
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!
September 28, 2019
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!
August 31, 2019
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.
May 4, 2019
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.
August 31, 2019
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!
May 10, 2019
WORTH EVERY PENNY!
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!
August 10, 2019
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!
August 3, 2019
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.

Perfect DJ for the Perfect Night

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 tore up the dance floor thanks to DJ Mike Macie!

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!

Geoff killed it
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!
August 9, 2019
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!

Excellent, Attentive, Great DJ Service

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!
July 13, 2019
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!!
July 13, 2019
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!
May 18, 2019
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!
June 22, 2019
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.
July 13, 2019
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.
July 6, 2019
Craig was a fantastic DJ at our reception!
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!
July 13, 2019
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!
June 8, 2019
Would Recommend!
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!
June 22, 2019
Sounds Abound was perfect at our wedding!
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!
June 15, 2019
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.
July 3, 2019
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!
July 6, 2019
EVERYONE, AND I MEAN EVERYONE DANCED
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!
May 11, 2019
Nobody Better Than Tony Ho!

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!
March 16, 2019
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” 🙂
June 15, 2019
Best decision!
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.
June 1, 2019
Excellent experience!
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!
June 1, 2019
Absolutely AWESOME company & DJ!
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. 🙂

Brian was Amazing!
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!
June 21, 2019
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!
April 13, 2019
Awesome DJ
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”.
April 27, 2019
Triplets Graduation
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.
June 8, 2019
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!
May 4, 2019
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!
May 31, 2019
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!!!!
May 24, 2019
We had Kyle and he was great!! Everything was perfect and went very smoothly. The dance floor was packed all night!
May 10, 2019
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!
May 18, 2019
You Name It Events
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.
May 24, 2019
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!
May 18, 2019
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!
April 27, 2019
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!
May 25, 2019
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.
May 4, 2019
Fun DJ who knows how to keep the floor moving!
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!
May 24, 2019
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!
May 11, 2019
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.
May 11, 2019
Amazing Bat Mitzvah!!
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!!
May 4, 2019
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!!
October 6, 2018
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!
April 27, 2019
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!
September 29, 2018
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!
March 23, 2019
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!
October 13, 2018
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!
March 30, 2019
Simply the best!
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 Knot Review
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!
February 16, 2019
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!

Best DJ’s around!
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!!
January 19, 2019
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.
December 16, 2018
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!
December 14, 2018
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!
November 17, 2018
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!!
December 30, 2018
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!
October 20, 2018
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.

Amazing Company and DJ

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!
Vincenzo was AMAZING!
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.

Yelp Review
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!
September 22, 2018
Tony was great!
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.
June 9, 2018
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!!
December 1, 2018
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!
November 17, 2018
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!
November 9, 2018
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!

Beyond Expectations
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.
Wedding DJ
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!

Resuts Exceeded Expectations
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!
October 14, 2018
Our DJ was Rufus! He was amazing. He DJed our wedding at the Chicago Sports Museum/Haray Carey's in Water Tower Place. From our 1st conversation to our final meeting a week prior to our event, he connected with us, understood our vision, and gave us all of our unique requests exceeding our expectations. They connected with our venue prior to our event, so that there would be no problems before, during, and after our event. We provided Rufus with a sample of about 90+ songs to play during cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception. Our guests really enjoyed the music. He and his team arrived on time and dressed very well. We will definitely do business with them again. If you want a great wedding...go with them! |

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!

Hire Tony Ho now!

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!

Best Wedding DJ
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!!!!
October 20, 2018
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!

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!
September 28, 2018
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.
September 22, 2018
Great Job!
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!
October 13, 2018
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! 🙂
September 29, 2018
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!!
August 24, 2018
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!
September 22, 2018
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!
October 5, 2018
Thank you Sounds Abound!
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!

Sounds Abound did GREAT!!
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.
August 25, 2018
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!!
September 29, 2018
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.
September 29, 2018
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!
September 15, 2018
Rock stars!
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!!
September 21, 2018
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.
September 22, 2018
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.

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.

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.
December 29, 2017
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!

Five Stars!
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.
What a Blast!!

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!
Life of the party
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!

TONY HO is THE BEST!

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 kept the dance floor alive all night long!

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!

Best Emcees Anywhere!
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.

Kate said...
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.
May 12, 2018
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!
July 27, 2018
Excellent! Highly recommend
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!

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!

The only choice when it comes to a wedding reception!
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!

Tony Ho is the way to go!
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!
July 21, 2018
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!!
May 19, 2018
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!
April 14, 2018
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,

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.

We Danced the Night Away!!

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.

Very helpful and kind
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

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.

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!

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!!!

David is AMAZING!
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!

People Are Still Raving About the Entertainment!
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!

Excellent DJ Service!

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!

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 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!!!

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!!

Sounds Abound - THE BEST DJ!!

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

Wonderful entertainment!
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,
September 30, 2017
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!
September 30, 2017
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.
September 30, 2017
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!

We love Tony Ho!!

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!!

AMAZING

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!

So easy to work with!
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!
September 8, 2017

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.

Note from a past client 2012
Hello,
10/19/12
An Absolute Great Wedding Reception with Sounds Abound
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!

The only option for wedding entertainment

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!
September 2, 2017
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!
September 15, 2017
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
September 23, 2017
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!!
August 18, 2017
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!

Perfect Night
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!
August 12, 2017
Fun and smooth wedding DJ experience!

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.

Wedding on 9/9/17

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 🙂

Great experience
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!!
September 1, 2017
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!!
August 26, 2017
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!
September 9, 2017
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
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!
August 5, 2017
Awesome Experience all around!

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!

Amazing Experience
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.

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!

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!

Greatest wedding DJ ever
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.

Awesome time celebrating with Sounds Abound!

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!!!!

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.

Amazing!
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.

BEST DJ EVER
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!
June 24, 2017
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!
June 24, 2017
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!
June 25, 2017
Thank You 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!
June 17, 2017

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'!

Best DJ ever

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!!
June 16, 2017
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!

Another Great Experience!
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.

Trust in Their David!

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!!
May 27, 2017
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!
April 1, 2017
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!

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.

Amazing Experience!
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.

Amazing! Wonderful! Professional!
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!!!

Book Kyle Now!

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.

Sounds Abound was amazing!

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.

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!
February 17, 2017
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!

David Wilner and his team were AMAZING!!!

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.

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!

Stellar Experience all around! A+ for Gary!

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 Kept the Party Dancing
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!

Amazing Experience
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 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!

Choose Tony Ho, oh y not?
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..The ONLY DJ I book for ANY event!!
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!
Sounds Abound is the BEST company to have at your event!!
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!

Holiday Party
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.
December 15, 2016
Holiday party
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!

Tony Ho does it again!!!

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!!

Excellent DJ Service!
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!

The Knot Review
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.

Fantastic experience!
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!
Great experience, professional staff!

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!
October 1, 2016
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.
November 19, 2016
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!

Amazing DJ, Amazing Event!
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!
November 4, 2016
Awesome

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.
November 11, 2016
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!!
September 3, 2016
Amazing
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!
October 29, 2016
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!
September 23, 2016
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!

Tony Ho: The Legend, The Riot, The Best DJ
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!
October 22, 2016
Best Decision Ever
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!
October 15, 2016
Fantastic!
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.

Sounds Abound DJ
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.
October 22, 2016
Amazing, easy to work with, great online tools to use

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!
August 27, 2016
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!
October 22, 2016
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!
Top notch DJ
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!

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

Sounds Abound did an excellent job!

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.
October 15, 2016
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!
October 1, 2016
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!
September 16, 2016
Best DJ company ever!
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!
Fantastic service
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!
September 24, 2016
An awesome wedding thanks to Keith!
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!
October 1, 2016
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.
August 28, 2016
Simply phenomenal!

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!
September 24, 2016
The absolute best!
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.
Best decision we could've made!
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.
August 27, 2016
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.

The Best!
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.
August 13, 2016
Fabulous!
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!

Thanks for running the party Vincenzo!

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.

Amazing DJ
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!

The Best Wedding DJ Ever!
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
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!

Primetime Wedding Entertainment
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.
August 13, 2016
Thank you!!!!!
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!!!
August 13, 2016
Ernesto,

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!

Absolutely fantastic
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.
Awesome & Amazing DJ and Company!

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.

Absolutely amazing service! Very friendly and affordable!
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.

Wonderful Experience with Matt Ammons!!
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!
July 3, 2016
All-around fantastic
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!
June 12, 2016
Sounds Abound is Top Notch!
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!
July 22, 2016
Vince was AMAZING
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!

Tony Ho is the best!
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!
July 9, 2016
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!
July 10, 2016
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!
May 21, 2016
Sounds Abound is wonderful!

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!
July 16, 2016
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!
June 18, 2016

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!
July 12, 2016
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!!
June 25, 2016
Excellent
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.
June 11, 2016
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!
June 11, 2016
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.
July 2, 2016
Great Job
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
June 18, 2016
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!
June 4, 2016
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.
June 17, 2016
The BEST DJ around!

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!!
June 18, 2016
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!
June 25, 2016
We thank you very much for being such a significant part of our wedding reception by providing the most wonderful music entertainment. From the first encounter to the actual big day, you and everyone were so professional and truly helped us to have a great experience. Kyle, I especially thank you for all of the extra time and energy that you put forth with being sure to include all of the extra special songs that meant a lot to us to play, and most of all for the work you did to create the special daddy-daughter mix for the dance with me and my dad. So many of our family members and guests told us how much they enjoyed the music and how much fun they had because of that - this was more that I could ask for. We can tell that you truly love what you do which made our time with you all the more special. We thank you so much again!
May 21, 2016
Rufus was phenomenal for my wedding two weeks ago! He got a crowd of 250 people out on the dance floor and kept them there! He was great to work with, rapid response with email/phone, and very respectful and knowledgeable about his services/sounds abound services! Excellent to work with, so happy we had him at our wedding!!
June 18, 2016
Amazing!!!
We decided to book with Sounds Abound after we had gone to a wedding and loved their DJ! We booked Tony Ho and he did not disappoint!! He was amazing! We made a play list through our online planner and he added what he thought would be good and did his thing! He was easy going and totally made our day amazing!!!! If you need an awesome DJ book Sounds Abound and Tony Ho!!
January 2, 2016
Awesome, lively, and upbeat!
Matt Savide was the DJ for our wedding this past weekend. It is a understatement to say that he was amazing! His selection of music kept our guests on the dance floor the ENTIRE time. He really listened to what we wanted and did a great job with hosting the evening. Sounds Abound is a great company and easy to work with. I highly recommend Matt Savide for any event!
June 18, 2016
I have always measured the success of a wedding reception upon how packed the dance floor is and if that is the case, our wedding was a phenomenal success due to many aspects but Sounds Abound was a MAJOR part of that success. Our dance floor was packed all the way from the first dance to the last. We had Kyle Overbey as our DJ/MC for the night. He was great. He played any requested songs the guests had and played the kind of music that kept the dance floor pumping all night, not just for the young crowd but we had granny up there on multiple occasions dancing away. No cheesy games or gimmicks here to get you on the dance floor. He helped us plan our evening as far as schedule goes and it went smoothly. I did not have to worry about a thing or where I had to be at what time. He he kept us informed but allowed us to have a great time visiting with guests. He did a great job playing the right music at the right time and did so without stealing the spotlight and talking too much, which I have seen and can get distracting. The only regret was not booking the hall longer so we could dance longer! It was the best party I have ever attended - but I could be a bit bias. But we have received many comments from guests saying what a great playlist we had and how much they they had. I'd like to think a good chunk of that is due to Kyle and Sounds Abound!
May 7, 2016
Simply Wonderful!! We booked with David Wilner after an open house event at Sounds Abound. His personality won us over and we are SO happy it did! From start to finish, he was communicative every step of the way! Our June 18th wedding would not have been the same without him. He definitely knows how to work a crowd and keep the music going! He checked in numerous times with me and my husband throughout the night just to make sure everything was going the way we wanted. Our guests loved the music and danced till the very last song was played! I highly, highly recommend David and the Sounds Abound team!
June 18, 2016
Craig Mohler - Sounds Abound
After viewing the online portfolios for all of the Sounds Abound DJs, my fiancee and I decided on Craig Mohler. Craig was a pleasure to work with. He communicated very well with us prior to our big day, was very accessible in person, phone and email, and made sure no detail was overlooked. Very professional, made our wedding reception a blast. I would highly recommend Craig for any event.
May 28, 2016
Gary - 6/11/16
We had Gary Hipperson as our DJ for our wedding and he was far more amazing than we could have ever dreamed! He read the crowd well, kept the energy going, looked up and played some unusual song requests and even taught our guests how to "Wobble". From start to finish, he kept everything moving smoothly and in good rhythm. His presence, knowledge and quick answers to questions kept us from worrying about all of the small details. I would highly recommend Sounds Abound (and Gary) to anyone who asks!
June 11, 2016
Kyle was absolutely amazing!!! He played everything we loved and was completely professional! I didn't have a father daughter dance song picked out and he made a point to let me know he was about to play a song that would be a great fit for us so we could share a dance. Above and beyond amazing! The photo booth was a great addition to our wedding! These guys are the best!
June 11, 2016
Tony, Thank you for your fantastic work at our wedding! Everyone had a blast! Thank you for helping with all the last minute song decisions too! You did a great job and we'll certainly recommend you and Sounds Abound to friends! Thanks again!
January 23, 2016
Epic

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing our experience was with Sounds Abound. We chose Matt as our DJ because of his love for all kinds of music and that's definitely what he helped us to provide for our wedding. Even from the start of cocktail hour and dinner our guests were raving about how fantastic the music choices were and even the incredible sound of Matt's voice. Our dance floor was never empty. Matt was so easy to work with and beyond helpful by answering any and all of our questions or bizarre requests. We knew we were in great hands. Matt allowed us to enjoy our reception with no worries at all and he helped us to throw the ultimate Blackhawks party! Thank you SO much again Matt!

Amazing experience with David Wilner & Sounds Abound
Had an amazing experience using Sounds Abound. David Wilner recently played the Piano at our wedding ceremony and was the DJ at our wedding reception. Not only is David extremely talented, but he is very friendly, dependable and easy to work with. David went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and make us happy on our big day. I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound and David Wilner to others!
May 29, 2016
My husband and I had Ernesto for our wedding reception in May. We absolutely loved him! We had a culturally blended wedding and Ernesto did a great job incorporating two languages and two styles of music. He was upbeat, fun, and kept our guests on the dance floor all night! I would recommend him to anyone.
May 27, 2016
We used Kyle from Sounds Abound as our wedding DJ and I cannot express enough how fabulous he did at our event. Sounds Abound and Kyle were very professional and responsive while I was in the planning process. They listened to our desires, concerns and provided suggestions and feedback. On our big day, the dance floor was never empty - everyone was dancing the night away. If people did start to stray, Kyle was right there to switch up the music to get them going again. He added nice touches to our announcements, made sure to confirm name pronunciations for our family and bridal party, and really made our wedding feel very personalized. He worked well with our other vendors, there was not a dull moment or random down time during the event, and our guests have all commented saying how fun and wonderful the DJ's were. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely book Sounds Abound again. We had a blast and everything went very smoothly! Thank you so much Kyle! You are AMAZING!
May 27, 2016
Matt was absolutely amazing!!! He really did a fantastic job! The dance floor was least full which was a huge plus for us. DJs make or break the wedding and he MADE the wedding!!! Best music that could have been played. And for our bridal party we were stuck on the perfect song for them and to our surprise it was great! Went perfect with with our entry. Thank you again, Matt!!!

On Saturday, we had the pleasure of having Gary for our DJ. He did a spectacular job with the music, getting people on the floor and involving them in fun, dance, and laughter. We can't say enough about the fabulous job he did. Everyone had a great time and I feel that the DJ makes the event happen and Gary was great. Thank you so much for the coordination, effort, and all that you do to make sure we are in good shape.

Bat Mitzvah DJ
The kids had a blast, and it was fun for the adults too. Non-stop games and dancing. Rufus was great to work with. Very professional.

Sounds Abound is AWESOME!
I was looking for a DJ for our wedding on May 20, 2016, so I put a feeler post out on Facebook and asked my friends if anyone had any DJ suggestions. As it turns out I received an abundant of suggestions and the one DJ that kept coming up a lot was Sounds Abound. As it turns out, my sister had used Sounds Abound at her wedding back in 1999 and I always had thought that DJ was fabulous! So, considering I already had a family testimonial for the quality of DJ services I was looking for, we chose to call them.
Sounds Abound was extremely easy to work with and we had a lot of special requests that required coordination with our groomsman as we had some out of the box entertainment at our wedding, but Sounds Abound most definitely rose to the occasion and were very helpful and willing to go above and beyond to make our special day even that much for unique and spectacular.
The music at our reception was fantastic and everyone I speak with that attended our wedding had such a great time dancing as everyone knows the MUSIC is what makes a great wedding!
Thank you Sounds Abound and Kyle for a most memorable wedding and making my dream wedding everything I had always dreamed it would be.
Warmest Regards,
Kelly Myers

Quality, reliable, excellence
I (wedding planner) hired Craig with Sounds Abound for a backyard wedding that took place last Saturday. He was responsible for playing the music for both the ceremony and the reception. Craig did a fantastic job, alongside his assistant. He was very sensitive to my instructions and careful to pay attention to the little things that mattered to the bride (style of announcing, timing, etc). The music was perfectly cued during the ceremony and once the dance floor was opened up, it was clear that Craig was very experienced in gauging his audience; he knew what people wanted to hear and acted accordingly. He was also very good at timing; he stuck to my schedule perfectly. Thanks to him, we had a wonderful evening. Another note worth mentioning was the pre-event contact I had with Craig. He was diligent in being fully prepared for the event. He responded quickly to my emails and ensured that he was not a factor for me to worry about close to the event date. He also followed up with me post-event to ensure my satisfaction. I highly recommend this DJ.
May 21, 2016
DJ at our wedding
We had Tony Ho as our DJ and loved his work! Once dinner ended, everyone started dancing and never stopped! He understood the type of music we liked and did a great job switching songs and pleasing everyone in the crowd! Highly recommend him!
Tony ho
Tony ho was the best dj I have ever heard play at a wedding, and I was so glad it was at mine. He played everything we wanted on our playlist and did amazing with the selection. He got involved at just the right times and took request from my guests and played them all. I really appreciate Tony and everything he did to make sure I had an amazing day. Thank you so much Tony ho for making our wedding complete! I would request Sound Abound and Tony ho to everyone and anyone
We used Matt at Sounds Abound and he was AWESOME! He was really easy to work with, super flexible and very chill. Overall very cool guy. He checked on us throughout the evening to make sure we were doing okay and to see if we needed anything. He kept everything on track as far as the schedule and he kept the guests out on the dance floor all evening, which was a pretty big feat given that our venue also offered bowling and bocce as part our package. I absolutely recommend Sounds Abound and especially Matt! 🙂
April 30, 2016
Kyle, Thank you so much for making our wedding absolutely perfect. It meant the entire world to us for you to take into consideration all of the crazy song requests our friends & family threw your way. Everyone is still talking about how the last song, Bohemian Rhapsody, gave them chills. It was a perfect way to send us off into our married life, and they say it was the Best Wedding they have been to. Thank you for helping with our Fairy Tale!

Catholic Academy
Always grateful for the reliability, performance and management of our music selection for our annual Father Daughter dance.. Rufus is terrific, we had 400 people in attendance this year!!! a great turn out !!! thank you
Larry was beyond incredible for our wedding. My husband and I were more than pleased with his DJ abilities, he knows what he is doing and helped us plan the evening. From song suggestions, to getting our guests up and dancing, he was on top of everything. He was able to troubleshoot when I forgot the charger for my laptop for our personally made slideshow, having his assistant run home for a MAC charger. The services he provided were beyond awesome and I would recommend Sounds Abound and Larry to anyone. I heard of Larry from my friends wedding, he made such a great impression that night, that I hired him for our wedding. He did an incredible job at both parties. HIGHLY Recommend Larry.

Corinne's Bat Mitzvah
We are delighted to have chosen David Wilner and Sounds Abound as our DJ for the Bat Mitzvah party of our daughter, Corinne. David was so friendly, flexible and accommodating. He made us all feel special. He kept the party alive throughout. It was so fun for both the kids and adults. I would recommend David and Sounds Abound to anyone.

Customized and Crazy

We decided to use Sounds Abound early on in the process as we liked the option of choosing our own DJ. We picked Kyle as he was the type of young, vibrant personality we were looking for with our wedding. He was great throughout the entire process and we met multiple times beforehand to brainstorm potential ideas.
Our wedding was unique in that we needed a completely customized playlist for each individual event. For cocktail hour and dinner, music wasn't just being played as background music, but rather a focal point that set the entire mood and atmosphere. Our reception playlist was one of a kind and Kyle worked with me to create a crazy fun experience that had everyone going nuts for 3+ hours straight!
Kyle did a fantastic job of listening to what our goals were and how we were looking to accomplish them. By working together closely, we brought that all to life and people are still talking about it! Will for sure be referring Sounds Abound and Kyle to all future friends getting married!

Tony Ho did an awesome job at our wedding. I would recommend him to anyone. He kept people dancing throughout the night with great music. He was easy to work with and professional. Couldn't have asked for more.
April 9, 2016
Our DJ was Keith and we had a blast with him at our wedding. He kept the party going. He was entertaining and just all around fun. Was so helpful throughout the entire event from beginning to start. Everyone at the end of the evening was coming up to us saying how great the music was and how much fun the DJ was. Thank you for a great night five stars.
April 2, 2016
I wanted to thank your company and particularly DJ Craig. My sister Maggie's wedding was in October of last year and it went phenomenally well.
DJ Craig helped my pull off a surprise for my sister's speech and as I said on yelp, he helped me in ways I didn't realize I needed. I'm a little deaf and I never thought to ask to make sure the volume was up high so I could hear it, but he did it without my asking.
He was also very discrete. I was able to surprise everyone at the reception. He gave me a very nice compliment afterwards and I wish I had remembered to thank him right then. It was a wonderful wedding in no small part because of the music.
The happy couple are still together and we're all still talking about what a great day it was.
Thank you for being part of it. It was nice that with all the worrying going on beforehand, we didn't have to worry about the entertainment.
Craig, thanks for having my back!

Sounds Abound Naperville was outstanding! Their website is very easy to use to plan the event, they called us several times to double check and clarify the schedule for the day and the music was great. For days afterwards our guests were telling us how great the DJ was and how much fun they had. Thanks to DJ Rufus and everyone at Sounds Abound!
March 26, 2016
We just wanted to write to tell you how very happy we were with the wonderful job Gary Hipperson did at our dance this year and last. His positive attitude and the great job he did really made our dance fun and awesome.
March 11, 2016
GREAT JOB!
We hired Sounds Abound for our event 2/28/2016. Gary was our DJ. He was easy to work with, had great suggestions and worked well with us on a few last minute changes. I'd definitely hire them for any event. If you'd like to contact me directly for a personal reference You're welcome to provide any potential customers with my name.
February 28, 2016
Absolutely Fabulous!
Sounds Abounds did a FANTASTIC JOB! They accommodated all our music needs. They also accommodated our last minute changes and all who attended had wonderful comments to say about Gary, the DJ.
Thanks again for being part of our great night and making it memorable.
Kyle took the DJ business to the next level.
He is humble yet very factual and knowledgeable - he claims he was trained by his father at a very young age.
When you decide Sounds Abound , talk to kyle from the start up to the event and after the event. He will make your dreams look very premitive once the celebration begins .

To impact lives and build secure futures

I've worked with Sounds Abound several times for corporate events. Their DJ's are on time and ready to go. They work with you in whatever environment you are trying to create.
Sounds Abound was absolutely amazing!!! My husband is a musician, so needless to say that music is a very important part of our lives. We wanted to make sure that we had a great dj for our wedding. From day 1 of dealing with Sounds Abound they were nothing but professional! We made the fantastic decision to have Larry Merkle as our dj....and we were NOT disappointed!! Larry knew exactly what songs to play to keep the dance floor lively!
We received so many compliments from numerous guests that attended our wedding. In fact, a close friend and my cousin have since contacted Sounds Abound to be used for their wedding! We would recommend their services for any occasion. Thank you very much to Larry and Sounds Abound for making our reception even more memorable!!
June 13, 2015
Outstanding and Detailed DJs!
Sounds Abound is an amazing company that helped make our wedding so much fun! Kyle was our head DJ and really took the time to look at our profile and play what we wanted, while also adding music choices he selected that were similar. Our wedding guests raved at how awesome the music choices were as well. As the bride and groom, we never left the dance floor! We also had a video montage done by Sounds Abound. It was such a highlight for our wedding party and guests!
Job well done, Kyle and crew! 🙂

Awesome DJ and Great Experience!
Rufus was the DJ at our wedding two weeks ago, and we couldn't be happier that we chose Sounds Abound! People were on the dance floor the whole time and had a blast, and throughout the entire process, Rufus was extremely professional while still being warm and genuine. Sounds Abound does a great job of communicating and staying in touch without being overbearing or pushy, and Rufus and his assistant were simply an awesome choice to give us a great party and a fantastic wedding celebration! We highly and unreservedly recommend Sounds Abound!
January 9, 2016
Dear Tony
Thank you for all your hard work in making our day special! Everyone had a great time on the dance floor and thanks for fitting in all our requests?

Amazing DJ/MC helped make PERFECT Wedding!
Ernesto from Sounds Abound was amazing! His professionalism, passion, energy, and love for his work truly made our wedding last night such an incredible experience that we and our family and friends will never forget. From the time we met him, his flexibility was apparent, meeting us at a Starbucks location and time of our choice, and made sure we felt ready and excited for our wedding. The reception was so much fun thanks to his powerful sense of "reading" the crowd, and adding in his own personal touch of beat and speed changes to transition between songs, while making sure that he played all of the songs that we had on our "must play list" prior to the wedding. Songs he played that were not on that list were also such great choices; he has an incredible musical intuition of choosing songs that we all loved. We can't say enough about Ernesto and can't wait to have him for a future event!
January 17, 2015
Gregg was terrific!
My husband, Scott, and I could not be more pleased with the experience we had with Sounds Abound and with Gregg, in particular. As Scott and I were boyfriend and girlfriend as teenagers and reconciled in our 50's, we had some very specific ideas about our music..kind of a "retro" theme. Gregg gave us some great suggestions at our meeting and showed up at our wedding looking very dapper. He kept the crowd dancing and participating. Our guests were so pleased with the music and some said they wanted our playlist! I highly recommend Sounds Abound...and Gregg.
November 7, 2015
I'm so glad we chose Sounds Abound when it came time to pick a DJ. They were so easy to work with and online planner was super helpful when it came to picking out the music for the reception. David was extremely helpful throughout the process and really helped when it came to music selection and the timing of the songs. He is an AMAZING MC and I would readily recommend him. Our guests are still talking about how great the music was and what an awesome time they had. Thank you David and the Sounds Abound team for helping to make our special day even more awesome 🙂
October 3, 2015
Tony Ho was our DJ. He did an amazing job. I can't speak higher of him as a DJ or the company as a whole. Sounds Abound was prompt, accommodating, friendly and fun company to work with. All of guests commented on how excellent the DJ was. The dance floor was packed all night long.
November 7, 2015
DJ Rufus was AMAZING!
The experience we had with this company was phenomenal. DJ Rufus was EXCELLENT! My husband and I loved working with him in preparing for our wedding. He made sure that every detail was covered (even things we did not realize needed to happen!) and that the music really reflected what we wanted. He is very experienced and clearly enjoys his work. The dance floor was always packed, even with a very diverse crowd! His energy and attention to detail allowed our reception to flow flawlessly. At our reception, we did not worry about a single thing! Mike and I would highly recommend Rufus to anyone who is looking for a DJ. Thank you, Rufus, for helping make our reception the best party of our lives! And many thanks to your assistant as well!

Matt with Sounds Abound makes a great party!
Matt with Sounds Abound gave us the dance floor party we wanted! He kept the all of the guests dancing all night! Not only was the music great, he coordinated so well with our venue that the whole night went by without any hiccups, which allowed me and my husband to relax and dance and enjoy the party ourselves!! Highly recommended to anyone having a wedding in Chicagoland!
November 14, 2015
Sounds abound won't let you down!
We had Ernesto as our DJ and he was AMAZING! Of all the things I was stressed about on my wedding day, the music was not one. Ernesto took care of it all for me! He handled my crazy family very well! My husband and I were worried about the flow of the music since we had such a variety of types of music including Latin music and American music, but Ernesto did a great job with transitioning between the two. He saw when the dancing was slowing down and knew when and what song to play to get the party going again! He made my reception stress free and my husband and I were able to dance the night away together care free. I would HIGHLY recommend him and the company he represents. We got many compliments on our Dj. We will definitely be using sounds abound and Ernesto for future events!
December 19, 2015
Sounds Abound was a great company to work with from the start! Our package included both DJ services as well as the Fun Photo Booth. The photo booth was a huge hit and it still makes us laugh as we look at the duplicate printouts of the pictures. The attendant was very friendly and helped keep our guests heading back to the booth for more fun, crazy pictures! Our DJ was Kevin Vance and he did a fantastic job. We had several specific requests for songs and he played all of them at exactly the right moments. Our dance floor was never empty, even down to the very last minute! Kevin and the Sounds Abound staff were very friendly and easy to get along with and were there for us every step of the way. It is great to see a company with such genuine customer service. The online portal was also very user friendly and helpful in planning our big day. Not only was Kevin a great DJ, he was easy to get along with - it felt like we had known him for years! We have already recommended Sounds Abound to many and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for helping make our day so special!
September 12, 2015
My brother referred my husband and I to David at Sounds Abound. David had DJed my brother's wedding and we loved his work. From start to finish, Sounds Abound's office was so easy to work with and everyone was so helpful. David walked us through the entire process, he was easy to contact, and gave us great advice for our event. We are so happy with our experience with Sounds Abound. Our wedding guests loved the music, and everyone had such a great time.
December 5, 2015
Thank you for your fantastic DJ and Photobooth services at our wedding! Jason was a rock star and a joy to work with. We love our Photobooth Guest Book! Sounds Abound is the best!
November 14, 2015
The best D.J service in the Chicagoland area. Very professional and organized. There are so many facets of planning a wedding and they are there with you every step of the way. Our D.j was Keith and he was simply amazing! My wife planned our wedding on her own and Keith was there for her every step of the way, from offering logistics suggestions for the ceremony and reception, to song selections. Keith was organized and set up on time. We had a few changes during the ceremony and he made sure everything ran smoothly and went off without a hitch!! Pricing was great and can't think of anything we would have changed! In the market for a D.J service, choose Sounds Abound and request Keith!!
November 28, 2015
We just had David Wilner from Sounds Abound at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. He was absolutely amazing. He kept 50 13 year old's along with younger kids and adults of all ages engaged for the full 4 hours. My daughter was wary of games since she had some bad experiences, but absolutely loved the games David played. They were fun for the people playing as well as the people watching. He made the event for us. I can't count the number of compliments I got on his services. I would recommend him to everyone for any type of event.
November 21, 2015
Our Wedding
We absolutely loved having Tony as our DJ. He did an awesome job keeping everyone on the dance floor. He played music for the demographic of our group. He did a great job of mixing up all of our requests, along with our guests. We even have a friend as a DJ that attended the wedding and gave Tony two thumbs up for appealing to the masses. We also loved having the photobooth and those memories that we have forever! Thanks so much Sounds Abound!
August 8, 2015
I just wanted to take a moment to say that Jason is an amazing DJ! The whole evening was absolutely perfect, the dance floor was packed the entire night and my guests couldn't stop talking about what a great time they had. Everyone also had a great time with the photobooth. Thank you Sounds Abound for making our night memorable.

We had such a fabulous experience with Kyle and SoundsAbound Entertainment! Throughout the night I had my friends and family repeatedly tell me how much they were enjoying the music. My dance floor was NEVER empty and I even had people coming from the other wedding that was next to my reception hall come into my wedding and dance because they said our music was better than theirs!!! It was such a fun evening and Kyle made it even more special with the variety of music he played and the way he kept everyone dancing! I appreciate it so much!!!
November 27, 2015
Dear Sounds Abound. Thank you so much for being a part of our big day. Ernesto made our reception a blast! Some of our best memories from the day were being out on the dance floor. Plans for speeches and introductions were up in the air due to my dad being sick, but we couldn't be more thankful for your flexibility and compassion!
May 2, 2015
Absolutely amazing DJ service
For our wedding, we used Sounds Abound for our entertainment. We couldn't have been happier with their professionalism and their attention to detail for our special day. From the initial planning stage, Rufus and company were willing to work with us and provide anything that we requested. Our biggest requirement was to make sure that we kept the party moving and have everyone dancing throughout the night. Rufus pulled it off and kept the party going and did a great job of playing music that got everyone of all ages/backgrounds to dance! Also, we asked to have separate entrance music for our bridal party and it was amazing how they put it together. Many of our guest were very complimentary of them and complimented us on the energy level of our wedding. Thank you again Sounds Abound and we would recommend their services to anyone!
November 6, 2015
Dear Rufus,
We cannot thank you enough for your amazing performance at our wedding. We keep getting compliments from people on how great the music selection was. You really helped make our day special and we appreciate it so much!
October 16, 2015
I have had the pleasure of attending several functions where Gregg Eisel was the DJ. Regardless of whether it was a wedding, corporate function or charitable event, Gregg played a great mix of music that everyone could enjoy.
Rufus was a great DJ and really made our wedding complete. He worked with us before the reception to figure out all of the necessary details and followed through by helping us stay on track the day of. His flexibility with music selection was perfect for our event. Rufus allowed us to give him an extensive selection of particular music we wanted to hear, and he took the time to create a playlist that kept the party going all night. He also allowed us to provide a separate list of songs for our cocktail hour that set the perfect tone. The up lighting changed colors throughout the night and made the space even more beautiful and complete. We can't thank Rufus and Sounds Abound enough for their part of our perfect wedding!

We knew music was going to be one of the most important parts of our reception and knew we had to find the best out there, especially after being at some weddings that didn't have good dancing music. I was researching DJs when I found Sounds Abound and looked at their website. They had an Open House to go to and meet the DJs in person. We really liked this because you got to meet with multiple DJs and find out their style and see how your personalities matched. One of the people we met there was Kyle, and we knew right away we wanted him to be our DJ. Kyle was our DJ for our reception on 11/21/15 and he was seriously awesome! Kyle kept the dance floor literally packed all night. We keep hearing from all our guests about how great the music was and how much fun they had dancing. The online planning tool they use is great, you get to request all the music through that. Kyle asked us about what songs we did/did not want to hear and made an awesome playlist. I seriously am beyond happy with our decision and Kyle truly made our wedding reception the most fun night for everyone! Definitely worth the money and would recommend them for anyone that wants a fun DJ!
November 21, 2015
Rufus- BEST DJ EVER
It was wonderful working with the Sounds Abound company. From the consultation to the website account, this was the best experience and customer service we have had with any company.
We are truly happy we used Sounds Abound for our wedding.
Rufus had a great presence and tremendous awareness for the energy of the party. We would recommend Rufus and Sounds Abound to all our family and friends.
Thank you so much very making our wedding the greatest night!
October 24, 2015
Perfect for our wedding: professional, stress-free, outstanding service
We hired Sounds Abound for our wedding, so we had their DJ/MC, photobooth, and video projector services. From the moment we first met with Rufus, we knew that Sounds Abound were true professionals who make everything clear and easy, which was a big relief to us since other aspects of wedding planning were surprisingly stressful and complicated for us. The online planner was easy to use, especially since we are big music fans and had our guests RSVP song requests.
Based on Rufus' suggestion, we chose Gary as our DJ/MC. He was the best DJ I've ever seen at a wedding. He kept the schedule of the reception well organized, got on well with our guests, and had our guests of all ages on the dancefloor until the very end of our reception. In fact, at the end of the reception, our guests were begging him to keep playing! We would recommend him 100%!
We also had Sounds Abound's fun booth (the bigger photobooth), which our guests loved too. At the end of the night, Sounds Abound even gave us a USB flash drive of all the photos, so we can see just how much fun our guests had!
Thank you, Sounds Abound!
November 7, 2015
Gregg did an excellent job of keeping the party going by integrating and mixing all the music for my daughter's wedding. His pre-wedding meeting and personal "interview" was very valuable in getting to know our requests and preferences for music on the big day.
Thanks Gregg for your key contribution.
October 31, 2015
Matt Ammons-BEST DJ
Our experience with Sounds Abound was absolutely perfect! The company itself has knowledgeable and professional associates that made my wedding day a dream. We selected Matt Ammons as our DJ and he made our day so special. Matt is patient, personable, punctual, and professional. He was so easy to communicate. With every little request he was more than accommodating. Hands down would recommend Sounds Abound and Matt for any occasion.
Thank you again!

Extremely detail oriented, great variety of music, commanding emcee & played what we wanted to hear
We couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding day - and Gregg and the Sounds Abound team made it all possible. We experienced a Sounds Abound wedding for the first time back in December 2013; Gregg and the team actually DJed my brother and sister in law's wedding! We loved the style and the command Gregg had with the crowd, so making our decision was easy.
Fast forward to our wedding - from the initial booking process to the final, magical day, Gregg and the Sounds Abound team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only did Gregg spend a ton of time with me on the phone going over my questions (late into the evenings after work, on his personal cell, no less!) but he really took the time to listen to what was important to us and work with us to create the vision we had in mind. The team went above and beyond in every aspect.
We also used Sounds Abound for acoustics for the wedding ceremony (we had a micced officiant and an instrumental duet at our outdoor ceremony) and they took care of everything; working with our musicians and the venue to make sure we were covered.
One of my most favorite parts of the ceremony (out of 50,000 or more!) was our introduction - Riley and I are huge fans of EDM music. We thought it would be awesome to walk into Red Lights by Tiesto. Gregg worked with us to make the timing happen perfectly. A small detail, but it added to the rest of the magic of the day.
Thank you to you and your team!

EXCITING! We had the one and only KYLE for our Wedding at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. It was a Sunday Evening Wedding (Day Before Columbus Day) and Kyle kept the party and dancing going well into the night. The online portal was super easy to use and made our day run exactly as we had planned! Thanks for your energy, Kyle. And THANK YOU for being a part of our Wedding!

The Best DJ We'd Seen
Our experience with Sounds Abound was fantastic! Keith and his backup were the epitome of professionalism, and kept our reception on-schedule. Even before the event, the tools provided to help us set up our event were incredibly helpful.
At the reception, Keith & co. took care of our guests, went out of the way to ensure the music we requested was played, and even suggested music we hadn’t thought of that fit us perfectly. Not only that, but they read the dance floor perfectly, and kept the energy going to the bittersweet end. We’d definitely recommend Sounds Abound (and Keith!) to anyone who needs a solid DJ.
October 16, 2015
We used Craig for a surprise party and he did a great job! I will hire him again for my next event! Loved everything about the company from the first call , to planning, and event day! Great job and thanks for making our night so special!!
November 7, 2015
Our DJ Kyle from Sounds Abound, did a wonderful job at our wedding. He was intuitive to all of our guests music preferences and he was capable in implementing last minute changes in a way that the guests did not know if something wasn't planned. He helped us plan and made sure that the lighting wasn't too flashy since one of my family members has seizures. Kyle went over pronunciations of everyone's names multiple times to ensure that he did not say them incorrectly. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the service Kyle and Sounds Abound provided us. We highly recommend this company.
October 2, 2015
These people are the best!! Great communication- they always answered my emails in a very timely manner...and actually answered them with REAL answers and didn't make me feel like a bridezilla for sending them rapid fire questions. Awesome DJ Gary. They were so easy to work with and made my wedding extra special. I would easily recommend them to family and friends.
October 31, 2015
Matt Ammons
We had a great experience with Sounds Abound Entertainment! Matt was the DJ/MC for our wedding reception in October 2015. Matt proactively communicated with us leading up to the day of our wedding via email, text and an in person meeting. The night of our reception, Matt had great command of the event as MC and had our wedding guests having fun and dancing as DJ. Matt kept the reception on schedule including toasts, a video montage, special dances and coordinating guitarists that played during cocktail hour and dinner. Overall, Matt was an excellent DJ/MC and we would highly recommend him and Sounds Abound for any event. Thank you again Matt, for helping our wedding reception be a great time for us and our guests.
October 24, 2015
Sounds Abound did an amazing job at our wedding! Our DJ, Keith kept the dance floor full the entire night. We really appreciated the time Keith took prior to the wedding to review everything with us. The night was perfect!
October 24, 2015
Sounds Abound were amazing to work with! From the initial contact to the DJ Open House, everyone was very informative and welcoming. We selected our DJ, Jeff Wells, who we personally selected from the DJ Bio section on their website. Based on Jeff's music history, he was a perfect choice. We met with Jeff about a week before the wedding and he was so helpful and literally ran our entire evening! From the introductions to the speeches to dancing all night, everything was perfect. The online planner to personally selected your wedding playlist was so easy to use and SO great to customize your special night. It was very convenient you could listen to any song on the planner to preview! Finally, we selected the package with the additional up lighting that was worth it since we had an outdoor tented wedding on a farm. I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound and Jeff Wells to any bride to be!

Fabulous Bar Mitzvah Party due to Engaging DJ
David Wilner and his two associates dj'd my son's bar mitzvah party. They kept the kids engaged in games the whole time and only added dancing at the end per my son's request. The kids had a great time as did my son. He also MC'd the event and kept it moving. David and his team were fabulous!I will be using them again for my daughter's bat mitzvah. I can't recommend them enough.

My husband and I have been married for a couple of months now and we still have memories of dancing with each other and our guests at our reception. We had such a fantastic time and our guests raved about what a wonderful time they had dancing the night away! From the beginning of our experience with Sounds Abound we felt very comfortable. There were a lot of DJs to choose from and the packages had nice options at a fair price. We were so happy with Matt as our DJ! He met with us before hand to go over exactly what we wanted our reception to look like so that we wouldn't have to worry about it that day. He was very laid back and open to any ideas we had, but also was great at making suggestions when we were at a loss for ideas. When it came down to it, we trusted his opinion for most options, and we are so happy we did. Both he and his assistant that day were very professional, on time, and did everything they said they would take care of. Not to mention they were just fun and nice guys!! I don't have anything negative to say about Sounds Abound, I would definitely recommend that you use them for any event.

Amazing DJ
David was our DJ and I couldnt be happier with his performance! He was amazing and and played an amazing arrangement of music. He knew how to get people on the dance floor and kept the party alive till the end! Thanks for all you did David! You were the best!
October 17, 2015
Great Experience!
It was wonderful working with Sounds Abound and Gregg for our wedding. We thought we would have difficulty because our tastes in music are a little different from the norm, but he managed to find a common ground between what we like and what our guests would enjoy. By asking us very in depth questions about our individual music tastes, he was able to tailor a playlist that made the night perfect. His role as an MC could not have gone any better either, he was welcoming, friendly, humorous, and did all he could to make the night go smoothly. He was attentive to us and the wedding party, and he was very response to calls, texts, and emails we sent to him throughout the planning of the
big day. He was very understanding too, he offered suggestions that helped us out but at the end of the day he respected our decisions if we wanted to do things a bit different than normal. It was a great night, and we are very glad we went with Sounds Abound!
October 24, 2015
Great DJ!

I had Kevin Vance as my DJ and he helped the reception go so smoothly! He played all the right music at the right times and even communicated with the best man to get some music inserted into his speech! We all had a blast and he helped coordinate some family pictures getting done as quick as possible so the dancing and fun parts could start! We were very happy with the night and would recommend Sounds Abound to any one. The planning process and friendliness of the staff makes it so easy to work with them.
October 24, 2015
Perfect!
We had such a great experience with Sounds Abound.
We got the package where we got to pick our DJ. We pick Kyle. He was great. He had everyone on the dance floor all night. Very upbeat and professional. He made everything very easy for us and kept us on schedule! THANKS KYLE! YOU'RE AMAZING!

Matt Ammons was the MC/DJ for our wedding and we seriously cannot say good enough things about him. He was amazing and our guests LOVED the music and seriously danced all night long with us. Our dance floor was seriously PACKED the whole night. I have also gotten a lot of requests from my engaged guests about who we went through for our DJ service and who our DJ's name was because they enjoyed him so much. We felt that SoundsAbound had a very easy site to navigate through and it was so easy to pick our "play lists" out for the night. They also we were very reasonably priced even with the biggest package that we received. We cannot say enough good things about SoundsAbound and Matt Ammons, they both contributed to our unforgettable wedding night.

Fantastic Experience
Kevin Vance was our DJ for our wedding day. Kevin's professionalism and upbeat personality made the night a great experience. Kevin also checked in with us throughout the reception which was greatly appreciated. Kevin kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We are still receiving rave reviews about Kevin from our guests.

Ask for Brian
Our DJ Brian Keck came through for us in a lot of ways; everything went smoothly through the night. We noticed that he had practiced saying the Korean names in the wedding party and he found some music clips for us that are probably not part of the usual reception. The dinner music was the right balance and for dancing we got exactly what we wanted. I know my wife was really impressed with how he adjusted when the small children took to the dance floor early. Somehow he knew what would keep them occupied and running around in circles for more than an hour. Brian also helped out when the lighting needed adjustment and with some other random requests that came up. Best thing was, we didn't have to do a thing. Matt & Kristina, married Oct 3 2015.

We had Sounds Abound provide the music for our wedding ceremony and reception in October 2015. They were great! Rufus did a wonderful job for the ceremony, everything was played at the right moment. Matt Ammons was the DJ for the reception and kept the evening on track. He knew just the right music to play to keep the guests happy. Both were incredibly professional as was all the staff that we spoke with. I would highly recommend them! We will have wonderful memories thanks to Sounds Abound!

I just wanted to let you know what an absolutely ridiculously fantastic job your entire crew did at our wedding! Matt and his assistant did an amazing job and I have received a large amount of compliments about them. I have to say he was so easy to work with and he played all the right songs in all the right places. After our meeting I knew we were on the same page, but I had no idea he would be able to match the moods as perfectly as he did. Several members of the country club that were present at the wedding could not believe the quality of his work and they said that they never attended an event there that was so perfect. I wanted to let you know that everyone was just blown away and I know our event coordinator was also impressed and will be recommending your company to other members for future events. People were also very impressed with the uplighting and I will have to say Kyle gave us the suggestion for purple uplighting for the room and then scrolling colors during dancing and it absolutely changed the room, which is beautiful on its own, but it transformed it into something out of a fairy tale. The photo booth was also a phenomenal hit! I am so glad we went with the keepsake book as well. It was so nice to be able to see all the hilarious pictures of our guests having a blast the attendants were also so kind and easy to work with. I am beyond impressed and I can assure you that all the guest were as well. I feel I could write a novel about how amazing everything was. I'm blown away and I know that I will be recommending all of your services to all my friends who will be planning their weddings and other events, and I believe our venue (La Grange Country Club) will be recommending you as well. I also have to say again what a pleasure it was to work with Matt, he was fantastic and rolled with all the changes I threw at him the day of. He's fantastic! I am so glad we went with your company you helped make our big day a beautiful celebration!

We had Kevin Vance (and His assistant Stephanie) as our DJ for our wedding on 8/1 at Boulder Ridge Country Club. My initial meeting with Kevin was great. He was very helpful and guided me through my music choices for both the ceremony and reception. It was a huge relief. I gave Kevin a lot of freedom in regards to reception music because I wanted him to play what he knew would keep people on the dance floor. It worked! He checked up with us numerous times during the night to make sure things were going well and made every announcement I randomly asked of him. We would definitely recommend him and Sounds Abound to anyone looking for a DJ! Also, we definitely recommend up lighting. It will add so much to the look of your venue!

We had the best experience at sounds abound was wonderful! Gary accommodated our every need and wish to make our wedding the perfect night. He kept everyone dancing during the reception and also helped me to find the perfect music for our ceremony. We had many compliments on our dj choice and are so happy with everything.

Execution Perfection

Using Sounds Abounds for our wedding and specifically Jeff Wells was one of our best decisions for our wedding. We had our reception at the Schaumburg Boomer's Stadium and Jeff and his assistant were perfect for our non-traditional reception site. They accommodated our unique requests and kept the party going until the very end. They truly helped us throw the party of our lives!

We absolutely LOVED having Sounds Abound as the DJ for our wedding! David Wilner was absolutely AMAZING! He did a great job keeping the night moving and with the music selection. Our guests are still talking about how much they loved the dancing and how much fun they had at our wedding. A lot of planning goes into a wedding, and Sounds Abound made the music selections easy and they were really a company you could trust to do everything you needed to.
Thank you Sounds Abound for making our wedding night a night that all of our guests will remember as much as we will!
October 10, 2015
Great to work with
We were referred to Sounds Abound by our photographer. As soon as we had our first meeting we decided we liked the way they worked with their website and personalization. We chose to not choose a Dj but we still got the DJ we met with who did an amazing job! Rufus kept the dance floor moving and played everything that we wanted. If I had to go back to do it again I would choose to work with both Sounds Abound and Rufus again!
October 10, 2015
The Perfect Choice
Brian Keck was our DJ, and he was absolutely incredible. He was very kind and patient during the planning process and was very interested in what we wanted for our wedding. At the reception, everything went so smoothly! People came up to us during the reception to comment on how good the music was. After the dancing started, the dance floor was not anything less than packed for the entire night. Even after I got back from our three-week-long honeymoon, people I talked to about the wedding brought up how amazing the music, especially the music for dancing, was. Choosing Brian from Sounds Abound was one of the best choices we made for our wedding!!
September 5, 2015
We had a fantastic experience with sounds Abound. Our MC Gary Hipperson did an incredible job, and everything was perfect. Our families filled the dance floor until the venue closed! He catered to our personal style, but made sure to play songs that kept everyone pumped up. The Sounds Abound website is useful for organizing your must play\ do not play songs, and the conference and phone calls with the DJ leading up to the event made sure we were all on the same page. We would definitely recommend sounds Abound and especially Gary Hipperson.

VFW is a non-profit veterans organization
Ken played/entertained at our recent Oktoberfest & also a "Homecoming Celebration" at the Lisle Hilton back in August. He brought 2 "dull parties" to "LIFE" with his music, singing & entertaining. Several people requested his business card for future activities.
Excellent DJ/MC service
We also asked Matt to provide the music for our ceremony as well. No worries or complaints there either!
We would, without hesitation, recommend Matt and Sounds Abound for any bride or groom who is looking for the perfect MC/DJ for their special day.

Wedding
I just got married in September 2015 and we had Matt Ammons as our DJ/MC and he was phenomenal! He was great to work with and was willing to meet our difficult schedule. He was spot on with our requests and went above and beyond what we expected! He took awesome, memorable action shots of our ceremony and reception which he also made a short video of, assisted when glitches with the location came up (outside of music or his role specifically), and handled changes the day of with ease and confidence. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and Matt did a great job reading the crowd. We are so grateful and happy that we made the perfect choice of having Matt as our DJ and we highly recommend him!
September 6, 2015
So glad we went with Sounds Abound and Matt Ammons as our wedding DJ! Matt made sure all of our requests were taken into account and kept people on our dance floor all night. Our guests were more than complimentary of him as well. I'm also so appreciative of the photos and videos he took from behind his booth - he captured a lot of great moments and was so quick to share them with us.
Everyone says there will be at least one thing to go wrong on your day and unfortuantely for us, that was the photobooth. We had some issues with it partway through the night but I don't think it's common for Sounds Abound - just bad luck for us. Only reason I wanted to bring it up was because the person watching over the photo both didn't give up trying to fix it the whole night. Ken was also SO quick to contact us afterwards and resolved the issue for us right away. Top notch customer service all around.
I might be biased but I'm pretty sure we had the best wedding reception of all time - thanks so much to Matt and Sounds Abound!!

Amazing wedding!
Gary Hipperson was our DJ/MC at our wedding recently and did an amazing job! We had the best night we could've asked for. We had the biggest dance floor available and at times couldn't fit everyone on it. Gary brought a ton of life to the night with great music and transitions. He occasionally came to us to ask if there was anything more he could do for us and clearly loves what he does. He got out on the floor to lead dances and everyone had an amazing time.
We would highly recommend him!
October 3, 2015
We selected Gary as DJ/MC for our wedding day. He was absolutely fantastic!
Gary was very helpful in the planning process. He sat down with us and went through every detail from song selection to correct pronunciation of everyone's name in the Bridal Party. In addition, we had a unique request of the DJ/MC introducing everyone in conjunction with our string duo. Gary coordinated and executed it perfectly!
When it came to running the dance floor, Gary kept it filled from the first song to the last. his song selections were excellent. Personally, I was a bit shocked at the activity given my side not being the biggest dancers. We cannot thank Gary enough for a playing such a huge role in making our wedding reception a truly special night.
September 18, 2015
Perfection
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Gary Hipperson as our Wedding DJ. Gary was attentive to all our requests, even ones emailed to him at the last minute. He always responded quickly and had the perfect attitude to set us at ease.
The night of our Wedding he managed to keep the dance floor full the entire night. Usually there are a couple lulls at the other weddings we've been too, but at ours, the floor was always packed!
We've been nothing but happy with Sounds Abound and Gary. I definitely recommend him to everyone looking at Sounds Abound.
September 19, 2015
Fantastic Wedding!!!
Brian from Sounds Abound did a phenomenal job at our wedding September 19, 2015. One week prior to the wedding we set up a time to go over our song list and other details of the night. He went over all of the details and even gave some suggestions for some of the 'sticky situations' we were expecting. Brian did a great job with the ceremony music out on the patio and was quick to set up the music for the cocktail hour and dinner immediately following. Throughout the night, he kept everyone on the dance floor and having a great time!! Never once was the dance floor even close to being empty! Thanks again, Brian!! You ROCK!!

Kevin was out DJ for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and did a great job. He was very friendly and kept everyone on the dance floor all night!
September 19, 2015
Fabulous! I can't say enough great things about Keith! He totally got the vision we wanted for the night and play all the best music and made the night FLOW. My family and friends RAVED about Keith and how they had NEVER seen so many people stay on the dance for all the night long at any wedding. He made the music flow in such a way that no one wanted to leave the dance floor. He was attentive and professional. Wouldn't think twice about recommending him to others!
October 3, 2015
Professional, communicative, fun!
I felt that they made the entire process easy, fun, and stress free. Our DJ was Craig, and he literally captivated the romantic, fun vibe I was looking to achieve for our wedding. He was prompt, professional, and overall just really experienced in creating the perfect tracks to get everyone out on the floor. I felt anxious about the night going well because of our location of the dance floor- he exceeded my expectations and did more than a Dj has to, to ease my mind and reassure me. Everyone loved him, it was like I had one of my friends behind the Dj booth! (Sorry for all of the drunken frat boys hanging around you a significant portion of the night though, Craig) But I'd like to Thank you for entertaining our requests, even playing "turn down for what" earlier than we planned!(= I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ...Thankyou again!
September 26, 2015
Had awesome wedding music with Sounds Abound!
My Husband and I decided to use Sounds Abound for our wedding ceremony as well a reception. What a wonderful company! We had Rufus as our DJ. He was fantastic and was on the same level as we are with our music selection! His assistant Brandon was great too. All of our guests were dancing the night away on the dance floor! Thank you to Rufus and Sounds Abound for making our wedding so memorable!!!

Our Wedding
Gregg was our DJ for our wedding and did an amazing job!! He played all our favorite songs as well as many other fun ones too! Everyone who attended our wedding had a blast dancing the night away! We recommend Gregg and Sounds Abound for anytime you may need a DJ!
October 3, 2015
Outstanding!
I recently just used Jason for my wedding DJ on 9/26/15! He was great! He was very accommodating and made sure to really let the music play as we requested!! He played our playlist exactly how we wanted and then some! He made sure to take the time and get to know my fiancé and I and figure out what we really wanted for our wedding music. He kept people on the dance floor all night!! People had such a great time and we have Jason to thank to keep the party going! I would highly recommend him to any future brides I know! Overall Sounds Abound was very accommodating to our needs and made sure to keep us happy!
September 26, 2015
Hi Gregg!
September 12, 2015
GREAT DJ!!!!!
Craig Mohler was the DJ for our wedding, with an assistance, Vince. They did a fantastic job! They kept our dance floor packed and ensured our agenda stayed on track. Sounds Abound was easy to work with from the beginning to the end! Their online client tool is extremely useful and helped coordinate the event easily with the DJ. They have packages for various needs and prices. I would recommend Sounds Abound and Craig Mohler!
September 19, 2015
Matt was a great DJ. We could not have made a better choice. We met with him a couple weeks in advance at a local restaurant to go over some details and emailed him a suggested list of songs the week of our wedding. He was very flexible. He was a great MC and was able to handle our "lively" bridal party. Our dance floor was full the whole night. He was able to get a feel for what we wanted to hear based on our suggested list and also our guests responses. Pick Matt!
September 18, 2015
Kyle was our DJ for our wedding on 9/12/15 and he did an EXCELLENT job! People were on the dance floor literally all night long. He read the crowd perfectly and would switch up the songs seamlessly if people weren't into them. He played all of the songs we wanted and knowing that my husband and I met at the University of Illinois, he even played our school's fight song without us requesting it! For our last song we had requested Piano Man, and Kyle made sure that everyone knew 2 songs out that the reception would be ending soon. For Piano Man, he had our guests form a circle on the dance floor surrounding us and then had them bring it in for the end. It was my absolute favorite part of the night. Kyle kept all of our other vendors (photographer, videographer) informed of different events throughout the night so that they could be sure to capture all of those moments for us. After the wedding, we had multiple guests approach us to say how the DJ was great and that it was the best wedding DJ that they'd heard in awhile. I cannot say enough good things about Kyle and Sounds Abound and I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much Kyle and Sounds Abound for making our night so perfect!

Steven and Kara | Sept. 5, 2015
David Wilner was our DJ for our wedding on Sept.5, 2015. We met with him a couple days before our wedding and he instantly put our worries at ease and we knew our reception would run smoothly. We got many compliments on the music played during and dinner. He kept us well informed of the order of events during the reception and kept the party going! He truly can read a party and keep the vibe going! He even through in an impromptu dance with my grandpa that I absolute loved and will treasure the memory. Steven and I are both thrilled with how well the night went. David is wonderful and truly knows how to keep a party going - Thank you David!
September 5, 2015
Accommodating, Professional, Friendly!
Craig was the absolute best DJ! He contacted me multiple times before the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. I also had a few requests regarding genre's that I didn't want to be played and he followed them to a tee! He was very friendly and professional and we could not have asked for a better DJ! Thanks!
August 8, 2015
Professionals from start to finish!

The wedding process can be tedious and nerve racking for all that partake. However, the professionals at Sounds Abound made the process worry free and easy. We had the pleasure of working with Matt Ammons a DJ that was recommended to us by several of our friends that all had pleasurable experiences with him and Sounds Abound.
I strongly recommend utilizing Matt and Sounds Abound for all of your DJ related needs. We allowed Matt to take charge of music selection and provide direction for the entire reception. Without any regrets we had the time of our lives large in part to his ability to keep the dance floor busy the entire night.
Thank You Matt!
Sincerely,
Michael O'Sullivan
Fantastic DJ Experience! Highly Recommend Sounds Abound!
Jason Yach was our DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception on 09/05/15, and we couldn't have been happier with his services!! Prior to our big day, Jason helped us settle on our ceremony music and our first dance song, which was something that my then-fiance and I were struggling with. On the day of the wedding, he and his assistant were all set up and ready to go before we even arrived at the venue. They were highly professional yet personable. They followed all of our music requests for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Jason was even able to strike a perfect balance between country music love songs (my preference) and Sinatra-type songs (my husband's preference) during dinner... and that's not an easy balance to strike! The music he played after dinner was also perfect. His music selections caused the dance floor to be packed with our guests, both young and old, all night long!!! We would highly recommend Jason (and the Sounds Abound company in general) for your wedding!!!!
September 5, 2015
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!
Gregg is an excellent DJ--fantastic! This was actually the second time he has DJed for my family (and several of my cousins have also used different DJs from Sounds Abound). Gregg did such a great job at my sister's wedding in 2012, that there was no reason to even shop around by the time we started planning our wedding. We called Sounds Abounds and asked for Gregg, and booked him right away.
He worked with us and played all the songs we requested. He even had suggestions for the order of a couple songs because he said in his experience it would get more poeple on the dance floor--and it definitely seemed to work, because the dance floor was full. Once the dancing started, the only time the dance floor was empty was when everyone went outside to watch Fourth of July fireworks, but Gregg still kept the music going outside via a wireless speaker and played some festive Fourth of July music :).
The music may have been the best part of the reception (except for the company of course :)), but everyone was dancing and everyone stayed to the end of the party (we had around 120 guests-I think only 3 of them left an hour early)! It's been over 2 months since our wedding and guests are still telling us what a "rockin'" party it was--literally that it was one of the best weddings, if not the best, that they'd ever been to, and many of them specifically sited the music "one good song after another...5 good songs in a row..couldn't take a break!" I credit a lot of that to Gregg for setting the atmosphere and keeping it going with the music (I'd give second credit to the shape and set up of the Hotel Baker's Rainbow Room, where the dance floor is huge and in the center of everything--but if the music isn't good, people aren't going to want to be out there anyways). There is definitely proof of all this through our wedding pictures too. You can see how much fun everyone was having--lot's of great action shots, smiles, laughing and tons of people on the dance floor!
Thank you so much Gregg for making our day perfect 🙂

Kyle was our DJ and was so much fun to work with. Our dance floor was never empty! We had a blast dancing to all our favorite songs and he made the transitions seamless.
August 22, 2015
Best DJ Company Around- We did our research!

We did lots of research and decided on Sounds Abound because of their price and their videos. We met with them and watched the videos to pick out the DJ that best fit our personality and the tone of our wedding. David Wilner was our DJ and he made the night run flawlessly between cocktail hour, speeches, dinner, and the party! He had everyone, young and old up and dancing all night long. Highly recommended.

Matt Ammons - Best DJ EVER!!!!
When Kevin and I were choosing our wedding DJ, it was not a hard decision. We had been to two weddings where Matt Ammons from Sounds Abound was the DJ, and it was amazing! Well, Matt did not disappoint, as we knew he wouldn't. He is so much more than a DJ! He pays attention and handles the small details that you don't have time to think of the day of your wedding. Needless to say, his playlists were AMAZING! Our dance floor was NEVER empty! No exaggeration. There was not one single moment from the beginning of the reception that the dance floor was not packed! Matt is extremely professional and works so well with you throughout the night! I had SEVERAL people asking about the DJ by the end of the night, and I know he handed out several cards. Matt Ammons is a huge benefit to your company. Don't let him out of your sight! Thank you Matt Ammons and Sounds About for making our wedding reception beyond amazing!
August 1, 2015
We just had Kyle as our DJ and MC for our wedding. Highly recommend!!!!! He was tuned into the crowd and played exactly what the people wanted to hear. His experience and expertise was key in keeping the crowd dancing all night long. Thank you so much we had an amazing night!
August 28, 2015
Matt Ammons was outstanding!

It is with great pleasure that we recommend Matt Ammons to DJ any event. Matt, did our wedding and did an absolute fantastic job. He appropriately controlled the room and made sure all the celebrations and speeches were made and kept within the timeframe we outlined. During dancing, Matt played a mix of songs that got almost all of our guests up and dancing on the dance floor. Matt went above and beyond by meeting with us a few weeks before the wedding to ensure we were all on the same page. He even took pictures and videos of the wedding and tagged us in them on social media after. Throughout the entire processMatt was professional, reachable and just did an overall outstanding job! We could not have been happier! Thank you again Matt!
August 22, 2015

Sounds Abound exceeded our expectations in every way! We hired them for DJ and emcee services at our wedding in Chicago. Even though we live in Washington DC, coordinating calls before the big event was a breeze, DJ Gregg made himself available to us at anytime. We had a few very unusual song requests, and DJ Gregg had no problem finding them and incorporating them into the playlist. The end result - EVERYONE was on the dance floor, from age 2 to 72! I also wanted to sing a song to the groom on my ukulele as a special surprise, and DJ Gregg was able to walk me through the setup to create this special moment for us. I will add too that our schedule was completely off for the night, and they were able to take charge and easily readjust the timing with our photographer and caterer. I can't recommend highly enough!
August 22, 2015
Rufus was so organized and friendly, he always provided such great tips and pointers and helped both my husband and I along through the process whenever we were frazzled or indecisive.

We used Sounds Abound for our wedding reception DJ and Photobooth services. Our DJ was Keith Talaga, and he did an amazing job. Our family and friends had told us they had such a fun time dancing at the reception! Keith made the night flow so smoothly, and didn't over use his powers of having a Mic, if you know what I mean. He was respectful, professional, and truly aided in making our reception a blast. The online planner was extremely user friendly, and all the customer service we experienced with Sounds Abound was exceptional. Sounds Abound is a well oiled machine!
August 1, 2015
Sounds Abound Entertainment is an excellent choice for your DJ! The office was great at sending us reminders and communicating with us prior to the wedding. We loved the planning tool, which allowed us to select our music and also provided suggestions for music throughout the day. The DJ we chose was Jeff. SUPER awesome guy. Kept the party going all night long and we received so many compliments! Most importantly, Jeff served as our MC and kept the reception flowing beautifully. Thank you!

Best Wedding DJ in Chicago - TONY HO!
Sounds Abound and specifically Tony Ho were out of this world for our wedding. Starting from the beginning, they were incredibly friendly and nice to deal with. If we waited more than a few hours for a call back or email response I would be shocked. The team over there prioritizes you and your event (in our case a wedding) even though I am sure they are booked through the roof for their services.
Before the wedding: The online tool was very user-friendly. We were able to have endless back-and-forths with Tony about what we wanted and did not want. We had phone chats, Skype, and email exchanges to seal the deal. More importantly, Tony was relaxed even when we weren’t!
The wedding itself: Tony arrived a few hours before the reception even began. It was our first face-to-face meeting, but it seemed as though we had been friends for quite some time. It’s hard to really describe his personality, but he is so likeable. He was wooing over the grandmothers, the bridesmaids, and heck even me (the groom). He knew when to light up the party with some dance music, and when to take it back for some slower dances. Tony was incredibly receptive to our requests – and we had lots of them. My family is Greek, so we had cultural dances he wove into the night, too. Overall, I cannot recommend Tony enough. We had plenty of people asking for his contact information as the night was winding down. Thanks again, Tony!
Quick note: We also had a photobooth through Sounds Abound. We had a few guys working the booth and the guest book they created for us (an expense worth taking!). They were party promoters, too! They helped to create a fun atmosphere for everyone – even the stoic great uncles who didn’t speak English cracked a smile with their funny hats.

July 4th Wedding
We were so pleased with Sounds Abound. They offered us one of the best prices that we saw. Our DJ, Matt Ammons, was absolutely fantastic. He had the dance floor full the entire night and several of my friends asked for his information for their weddings.

EXCEPTIONAL COMPANY ALL AROUND
Sounds Abound has been a delight from every aspect! From our first meeting to review their packages of music and photo booths to confirming the final details of music with our DJ, we experienced exceptional service. Each member of Sounds Abound is professional and helpful. We planned our event from out of state and Sounds Abound provided helpful information to our inquiries. They want your event to be how you envision it. Our DJ, Gregg Eisel, absolutely phenomenal in his art of music and entertainment! A sincere thank you to Gregg and Sounds Abound for their genuine professionalism and outstanding service!

Professional
We-Marie and I feel that Jeff Wells did a great job at our wedding party. He played all of our requests and did an outstanding job as an emcee while coordinating the various segments of the evening. We have recommended him to neighbors planning a reception. He made our special day a success. Bill Keenan

So close to perfect
Our experience with Sounds Abound was wonderful. The online portal was easy to use and helped us pick all the songs we wanted (Wagon Wheel on repeat) and cross off all the songs we did not (Black Eyed Peas). The DJ, Larry M., was familiar with the venue and set up and ready to go. I never gave it a second thought. He even helped us edit and make adjustments to a few special songs requested by family.
Larry did a wonderful job of balance and kept the dance floor JAMMED all night. Everyone had a lot of fun.

From the first "Hello" to the last "Good Bye" Sounds Abound was there for us!!!
My wife and I got married in June of 2015 and we absolutely loved working with Sounds Abound. From the moment we walked through the door to the last good bye with our DJ Greg, we honestly felt like they were as excited to be part of our big day as we were. Gregg Eisel was our DJ and he was amazing. He went above and beyond what we were expecting from an entertainment service by accepting and responding to phone calls and text messages throughout the day. He worked with us to help us capture the day we wanted and dreamed about for the year and a half it took to plan the wedding. Then, on the day of the wedding, Greg did an amazing job juggling all the last minute changes and little hicups that came his way and did it all with a smile. Greg helped make our day special and we would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Greg and thank you Sounds Abound for an amazing experience!!!
Sincerely,
Mike and Kristin Murphy

We had a wonderful experience working with Sounds Abound. Sounds Abound provided us a convenient and stress free way to choose the music for our ceremony and reception.

Awesome Wedding with Sounds Abound
We had Rufus as our DJ at our wedding, and he was AMAZING. Everyone had a blast and he did a great job of capturing the audience and keeping them on the dance floor. As the bride, I didn't even want to leave the dance floor as well. After the wedding, numerous people contacted us to tell us how awesome Rufus was and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Also, our photo booth was a HIT and everyone enjoyed it. Chris was great as well, he was so helpful and very enjoyable to be around. I cannot tell you how grateful I am that we chose Sounds Abound, and we appreciate all they did to make our Wedding night extra special! We will definitely be referring Sounds Abound to everyone we know 🙂
July 25, 2015
Gary Hipperson was our MC/DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing! He took the time to meet us beforehand and practice all of the names, as well as went over exactly what we wanted to hear during our reception. His announcements were clear and precise, and everything went off without a hitch. He was eager to keep playing until the reception hall kicked us out. It was an amazing experience, we highly recommend!
Sounds Abound was the most efficient vendor that we worked with, and we greatly appreciated it! The online access to our account/music list made everything seamless.

I cannot say enough good things about Sounds Abound!!! A DJ is HUGE at a wedding to keep everyone entertained and the dance floor full! Kyle did an AMAZING job at this! I would highly recommend him and sounds abound to anyone planning a wedding!!!! Keeping in contact with Kyle was a breeze! Any questions I had were answered super fast! I also got up lighting through Sounds Abound and it was beautiful! They met me at my reception hall to choose the perfect color for our reception! I had multiple guests come up to me saying how great our DJ was! I've never seen a dance floor that full for the last song of the night! If you need a DJ choose Sounds Abound!!!!

Tony Ho was awesome! He really listened to our wants and needs during our one on one sit down and executed flawlessly at the reception. The dance floor was always packed. If he saw the floor starting to empty out, he would change the music quickly to a crowd favorite and people would turn around and come right back on the dance floor. Also, instead of just playing random songs for the cocktail hour, he asked what bands/songs we would like for that as well. Sounds Abound also provided up-lighting for the reception that looked wonderful. Overall, great job! I highly recommend him and Sounds Abound!

Ernesto was awesome!
We had our wedding 2 weeks ago with Ernesto and I have nothing to say but amazing things about him. He was awesome, energetic and entertaining. He got the crowd going and the wedding was just a blast. I would recommend him to anyone I know that is looking for a DJ. He was responsive in emails and was very flexible to meet him to discuss details, he understood exactly what kind of music we liked. You can't go wrong with Ernesto, you will not be disappointed!

Great!
Brian Keck was our DJ for our wedding recently, and he was amazing! He was very professional and thorough, and made a point to speak with us throughout the evening to make sure our night was going perfectly. His music selection was perfect and found something for everyone at our wedding to enjoy. Even our photographer said that she's never seen so many people on the dance floor for the entire night like they were at our wedding, which was all thanks to Brian! I would highly recommend Sounds Abound to anyone looking to have a great party!!

I'm not one to write reviews, but going through the wedding planning process, I relied on reviews to pick vendors, so I thought I would take some time to leave my opinion. Matt was the DJ for my wedding on July 11th. Additionally, we attended a wedding the following Saturday (July 18th), and Matt was again the DJ. As a bride and groom, he was wonderful to work with. He quickly answered questions and gave his honest opinion when we asked for it. The night of the wedding, he kept the dance floor full the entire night. My family is not naturally drawn to the dance floor, but we were amazed at how easily Matt got people dancing. As guests, at the July 18th wedding, Matt again did a perfect job as Master of Ceremony and at keeping the dance floor packed the entire night. I'm a teacher, and I give Matt an A+ rating.

David was fabulous. He kept everyone dancing all night long. The photo booth was also wonderful. Thanks Sounds Abound for helping make are night great!!!!
July 25, 2015
Sounds abound was great to work with. They have a great online tool that makes choosing music very easy. Tony was our DJ and he did a phenomenal job getting people onto the dance floor. We had the biggest dance floor our venue would offer us and it was packed the whole night! We had an absolute blast during our reception and we owe a lot of that to Sounds Abound & our DJ!
July 11, 2015
Perfect Day!

Larry and all of Sounds Abound were wonderful to work with. They were prompt with responses, easy to meet with and were very on top of everything! Sounds Abound was emailing me about my upcoming wedding instead of vice versa. Larry was absolutely wonderful to work with;professional, friendly, wonderful at his job! He met with us prior to our wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. On the day of the wedding everything was set up, ready to go. He always checked with us and the photographer first to make sure everyone was ready for cake cutting, first dance etc. We received numerous compliments about how great our DJ was. He played all the music we liked, and would adjust the music to the crowd, we had so much fun!

7.11.15 Wedding
David and everyone else that we have worked with at Sounds Abound was absolutely wonderful. He sat down with us before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page about everything. David was so flexible and came up with some amazing ideas to help make our day special. On the big day, they were so flexible when our hall asked them to set up inside, and we changed to outside only a half hour ahead of time. They mic'd everything perfectly for the outside ceremony.
When it came to the reception music, it was everything we dreamed of and more. Our cocktail hour had a wonderful vibe to it, and our dinner music was just what we had asked for. David was so good at letting us know what was next, and keeping us updated. He did a great job with our introductions, and especially with rounding up our whole wedding party to pass on instructions. He was very patient and helped us have so much fun.
The dancing music was incredible. We had fun picking out our favorite dance hits on the gigbuilder website, but he chose the perfect songs for the moment.
I couldn't recommend Sounds Abound enough to
every couple I know. They did an amazing job from start to finish. They kept us informed and connected through the whole planning process, and they put on quite the party on the big day.
Thank you for making our party a blast!

They said it was the best wedding ever!
Choosing Sounds Abound for our wedding reception was the best choice we could have made. Not only were they easy to work with and reasonably priced for the incredible service, but multiple guests told me:
"This is the best wedding I've ever been to!"
"I haven't had this much fun since . . .I don't know when!"
"This DJ is AWESOME!"
Our dance floor was never empty and everyone was always singing along. We heard every song we asked to be played and never a song we didn't like. Jeff Wells was the best DJ I could have ever asked for.
I recommend Sounds Abound without hesitation to anyone and everyone.
July 11, 2015
Matt Ammons did a tremendous job at our wedding. He made my fiance feel at ease and did everything to her liking. I was told by a fellow co-worker to book Matt early because he's in high demand for weddings, after experiencing him first hand at our wedding, I can see why! I can't express the amount of gratitude and appreciation Christy and I had for Matt's amazing performance!!!! Go with the best, go with this company!!!! Fredric Nielsen

Awesome professional service
The online music library allows you to have as much control over the music played as you want. You also get to choose your own DJ based on your own style and needs! The company and DJs have tons of experience and are extremely professional, so they will listen and comply with your requests. They really made our wedding a super fun time!
June 27, 2015
A Perfect Fit!
Look no further for a DJ service! The responsiveness, reliability, professionalism and personality of our DJ (Gregg Eisel) could not have been improved upon. He played every song we wanted and clearly tailored the other selections to the age range of our guests. Talk about "know your audience" - he certainly did. We received so many compliments on our music and it was fun to see people jump up from their chairs to run to the dance floor with a "we've got to dance to this one" look. The meeting beforehand to discuss the timeline and order of events was very helpful, also. We had a marvelous reception, received so many compliments and the entire vibe of the evening was joyous celebration! Great job, Gregg!
July 11, 2015
During my wedding DJ search I heard many horror stories of DJ's from friends and family members ( all DJ's not from Sounds Abound). Some said that their DJ announced them incorrectly, said names wrong, the music was bad and barely anyone danced. This was a major fear of mine for my own wedding. I wanted people to get up and dance and the music to have a great mix for all ages and eras. I wanted to make sure all my guests were comfortable and the structure of the reception was presented in an appropriate and smooth manner. The reception for my wedding was successful ONLY because my DJ Matt Ammons did a PHENOMENAL job DJing my wedding. Everything was perfect and everyone was dancing ( the floor was packed and people were dancing even off of the dance floor). Everyone had an amazing time and complimented the DJ. The dance floor always had people on it having a great time. Thank you Sounds Abound for making my special day even more amazing . Thank you Matt Ammons for making my reception unforgettable and being so easy to work and collaborate with! Highly recommend Sounds Abound!

Flexible, affordable and SUPER FUN!

Tony Ho made our wedding 'da bomb' !! He was totally in tune with our hip hop style, and played everything we wanted! The Sounds Abound website in which we could pre-select songs and genres was pretty awesome. Our guests were singing along to the best 90s jams during dinner, and packed on the dance floor later to party. I had some very non-hip hop Iowan cousins state, "I haven't danced like that in years! Best wedding I've been to." The uplighting really added to the vibe, and the photo booth was of course a huge hit. Our only wish is that the party could have lasted longer- haha. Thanks Tony & Sounds Abound!

Thank you so much for playing your music for our Independence Day celebration for our senior residents and all their family members. We received so many compliments on your entertainment! You were lively and energetic and got our group moving and grooving! We have had this party for 6 years and this year- with you as our entertainment for the first time- was the best year yet! Thank you so much and I look forward to having you back next year for the same party! GREAT GREAT GREAT JOB!!!
Keeps the Party Going!
We are extremely pleased with the service we received and would recommend this company to anyone. We had Chris as our DJ, and he did a great job. He worked well with his assistant to create a fun play list. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long! He listened to our specific requests and had some great ideas about types of music to play at various times of the night. He communicated with us many times throughout the night to check in and to keep things moving. We had a fabulous evening of fun.
November 1, 2015
I cannot express how overly satisfied we were with Sounds Abound (specifically, our DJ, Kyle Overbey). We exchanged many emails before the wedding and he was sure to answer all of my questions. We used Sounds Abound as our DJ for the outside wedding ceremony and also for the DJ for the reception. The sound equipment was absolutely perfect outside and everyone could hear.
The inside equipment and lights (we added uplights to our package to help make the room look nicer) were absolutely great. We also did the photo booth and the staff from Sounds Abound really got people in there, having a good time.
Our music was unbelievable and Kyle had everyone on the dance floor, the entire night. Our pictures absolutely show people out of their seats and dancing. It was such a great mix of oldies and new music.
I would never use another company, after my fabulous experience with Sounds Abound! Thank you to the staff and especially to Kyle, for an unbelievable party!
July 3, 2015
Fantastic!!!
From our initial meeting with Kyle Overbey to the end of our reception, Sounds Abound delivered and more!! Jeff Wells was THE consummate professional (along with his assistant)and everything went FLAWLESSLY the entire six hours of our reception!!! Using the website to fill out information ahead of time is invaluable with so much to do before the wedding. We asked to make a few substitutions throughout the night and Jeff was more than gracious and accomodating. His calm, cool, friendly demeanor was a welcome addition to all of our crazy family and friends!!! I would recommend Sounds Abound and Jeff Wells to anyone who wants to enjoy their wedding without a hitch!
Sincerely,
Lorraine Arder Patrick (and Bob!)

Keith T. was our DJ, and we couldn't be happier! He checked in with us regularly, and kept the party going all night. Several guests came up to me afterwards to comment on how great a job he did, and I can tell ya, the words "best DJ ever" were spoken! Thanks Keith.

June Wedding
We absolutely loved working with Sounds Abound and Jason Yach was perfect! He was easy to work with and, most importantly, kept everyone on the dance floor ALL night. Our biggest goal for our reception was for everyone to have fun and dance all night long - mission accomplished! Jason and Sounds Abound were very professional and a great value. We had some special music requests and some traditional Brazilian wedding customs which were handled expertly. Will definitely recommend them both to anyone else I know having a Naperville/suburban wedding!

Amazing Experience with Sounds Abound
We had an amazing experience with Sounds Abound and DJ Tony Ho. He did such a great job with the music and it he kept the whole dance floor packed all night. I really can't say enough and Tony even surprised me by playing one of my favorite songs I hadn't even requested. He pays attention to details and really knows what he's doing. The guests kept complimenting him and the music all night. I will definitely be recommending this company and DJ Tony Ho in the future. Thanks Again!
July 4, 2015
Keith is the man!
Wow, we could not have asked for a better DJ for our Wedding Reception! Keith was absolutely amazing and took the stress out of everything. He was very prepared and professional and kept everything moving so smoothly throughout the night. He also had our entire dance floor packed for the whole night. We still have people coming up to us weeks later saying that it was the most fun wedding reception that they have been to. We highly recommend Keith and Sounds Abound for your entertainment needs!

For our wedding we had Matt Ammons for our DJ and he was AMAZING! Everyone had a great time and the dance floor was full the entire night. He made sure everything ran on time and accomidated requests for music and slight changes to the schedule. I would definitely recommend Sounds Abound to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding!

We hired Sounds Abound to do our music, uplighting, and photobooth. Our venue was Bocaditos at The Brookfield Zoo. The reception space layout is kind of odd but Sounds Abound found the perfect spot for our Photo Booth and dance floor in there. They really transformed the room. The uplighting matched our color theme perfectly. I highly recommend getting lights. It will revolutionize your space. I've seen weddings at the zoo without the up-lights and it just didn't look as nice. We also had DJ lighting on the dance floor. Gotta add lights for your wedding, trust me! For photos we went with the big fun booth. Chris was our attendant. He did a great job helping guests with props, explained how the booth works once inside, and handed out lots of pictures to everyone. At the end of the night he handed me a usb thumb drive from all the pictures taken in the booth that night. He also said if we lose the drive they have back ups. Chris was friendly to everyone and did a great job with the booth. Now the music. Honestly I've never seen a better DJ feel the dance floor so well like Kyle does. If the floor was getting tired he brought it down with some chill songs. If the floor wanted to rock he kicked it up. He even came out and danced with us during some line songs. He played everything I requested. I've been to a lot of clubs and his mixes/mashups were better! He announced everything on time, got the crowd cheering, and gave a great pep talk to our wedding party when we walked out for our grand entrance. I think Sounds Abound has a lot of DJs to choose from. I'm sure they're all good but I'd recommend Kyle Overbey. Sounds Abound was our favorite wedding vendor as they were easy to work with and friendly, answered emails promptly, and did a great job! They made the night fun!

Best DJ ever!!!
When I first went into Sounds Abound, I had one request. I needed a DJ who could blend songs really well to the point where you cannot even notice the transition. I love music and music is my life. I judge pretty harshly on people who fail to do music justice (I have also had terrible experiences with DJs before, too). Rufus, the guy I spoke to recommended Matt Ammons right away. Thankfully he was available on the day of my wedding. Now, I have no words to describe how amazing Matt is! This man is nothing less than perfect. Not just with the music, but just in general as a person. I got sent the form to fill out online and I tried to fill it out. School kept getting in the way and a bunch of other wedding things on top of way too many family and personal problems. By the time it came for me to finally meet with Matt (4 days before the wedding), I think I only had the names of people listed and some songs for the ceremony… and the information he had was no longer up to date. So not only was my paperwork that Matt needed for my wedding unfinished, I was also late to showing up with meeting him. Most people would be frustrated and very short with you, but Matt was so understanding, accommodating, relaxed, and just a happy, fun guy. We sat down and got a lot of the details updated and fixed and went over everything else that was important for my wedding to be a success. I felt bad for this guy at this point because I was so vague with my music requests. All I wanted was the top hits from the 60s-present, then after about 10pm to just play the current stuff. I had family of all ages (4-89) and wanted no one to feel left out when dancing. I think the only real request I made was telling Matt that there was no such thing as too much Backstreet Boys. And even still, that was a vague request. For the next 4 days, Matt and I stayed in contact to update any last minute changes or to answer any last minute questions. He was on point with everything since I met him. He knows his job and he does it well.
Come the day of the wedding, I was on the verge of breaking down. Not due to wedding stress or anything. Everything was perfect. There were some personal issues, and family members on my husband’s side, who did not like me, were being really rude to me and trying to make me cry. Aside from my amazing photographer who had me laughing, Matt helped by being super sweet and having a constant smile on his face, which made everyone around want to smile, especially me. The ceremony and reception went smoothly with the music. The dance floor was not empty, but I do wish more people were dancing. Granted out of the 300+ people I invited, only 50 or so showed, so the floor was going to look a little empty anyway. By about 9:30p, many people who had kids or who were over 40 left. There were maybe 15 people left for the last 2 ½ hours. Matt did a great job keeping people on the dance floor even though there was practically nobody there. He is so awesome at what he does that I even had 2 wedding crashers stop by because his DJing skills were just that bomb.
I would definitely hire Matt again for whatever party occasion I may eventually have in the future. He is such a personable guy and we hit it off really well. There is nothing I love more than knowing you came out of an event with a possible new friend. If you want someone who will treat your day with care, then you need to hire Matt for your day. He gets a 10/10 on every level. No if, ands, or buts!

Since our son Nate's Bar Mitzvah, all our friends and family have been telling us that we really know how to host a celebration. But it's our DJ, David, that really knows how to throw a party! There wasn't a moment when Nate's friends and cousins weren't enjoying themselves, dancing, playing games, or checking out the Photo Booth. Everything went so smoothly, we couldn't have asked for anything more!
June 14, 2015

WOW. My husband and I got married June 13th and are still talking about how much fun we had during our reception! Kyle with Sounds Abound had a HUGE role in that! It started with their perfect volume and control of our ceremony music and mics. Everyone could be heard and things were timed and faded so smoothly. Once we went up for cocktails and dinner, they helped make the evening run right on time. Then it was party time! Our dance floor stayed packed the whole night! Songs we wanted and more were played! They did an amazing job of playing to our crowd and making sure the good times keep going! Beyond the great job they did was the care and customer service my husband, family, and I received from Kyle and the staff. The whole experience felt very personal and like we had a family friend there making our party happen. I truly appreciate everything they did to make our big day so smooth, seamless, and memorable. Thank you a million!!

The dance floor was packed!

Keith was our DJ for our wedding, and he was great from our initial meeting to the last song of the night. We told Keith that the most important thing at our reception was that our guests did not leave the dance floor - and he delivered. He took all of our music "likes" and created an evolution on the dance floor that got everyone out of their seats and moving throughout the night. Keith also was very considerate of Kerry and I and made the night about us.
He helped us rock our introductions with a Beastie Boy theme and "robot" dance off and he helped get our wedding party pumped up for their time on the dance floor.
Aside from being friendly and kind to our parents, friends, and family, Keith made Kerry and I feel at ease on our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ - we have already had guests at our wedding ask for his info for their upcoming weddings.
Thanks for helping make our wedding day the day of our lives!
June 20, 2015
Best possible DJ experience. The Maid Of Honor rapped her speech to the music of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, my husband and I planned a surprise dance, and the mother of the bride planned a flash mod. All events went off without a hitch due to the professional and experienced DJ Craig Mohler at Sounds Abound. Introductions were excellent and the entire night was exactly what we had hoped for, if not more. Craig was the DJ for both my sister's and cousin's wedding as well. I highly recommend his work. He even let the bride since Tiny Dancer at the end of the night. Thanks for everything Craig!!!
June 13, 2015

Sounds Abound is awesome! Our wedding DJ was Kevin, and he did an amazing job with getting people out on the dance floor and keeping them there! He checked in with both me and my husband during the night making sure we were happy with the music as well as making sure WE had fun! We would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Best Wedding DJ!!
We are so happy we chose Sounds Abound for our wedding! Rufus was our DJ and he was awesome! They have an online planner where you can pick all your music, and you have “Must Play”, “Like” and “Don’t Play” lists. It was a lot of fun adding songs to our lists. We had a meeting with Rufus about 2 weeks before the wedding to go over all the details, and he called us the week of the wedding to confirm the final details.
The music during the ceremony and dinner was perfect. As soon as dinner was over, people started dancing and the dance floor was going all night! Even our grandmas were out on the dance floor! Rufus did a great job mixing genres of music and there was never a lull. Several people commented during and after the reception on how great the music was. We highly recommend them if you’re looking for a DJ for your wedding- they are very organized and it’s great that you can be as involved as you want with picking out music!
Thank you to Rufus and Sounds Abound for making our wedding reception so much fun!

We hired Rufus as our DJ and he was absolutely amazing. He was very professional, calm, and organized. We gave him a few song suggestions but for the most part we asked him to play to the crowd. He had our wedding guests up and dancing the entire time.

I want to express my gratitude to Matt Savide who did a great job of DJ for my June 20 party. Matt was intent on following any guidelines and requests made by my family, and he worked through our playlists sequencing the songs in a way that flowed and kept the dance floor packed with guests. Matt was focused on the guests of honor and the crowd all evening, and he helped boost the fun and success of the event.
June 20, 2015
Sounds Abound Right!
We got our DJ and Photo Booth from Sounds Abound for our wedding on March 27, 2015 and we could not be more satisfied with Kyle, Rufus, and the whole Sounds Abound staff! Kyle was with us every step of the way...he helped us pick songs and made sure to have the specific songs we requested. Every detail we had gone over with him was carried out perfectly on the day of our wedding. The dance floor was packed and moving the ENTIRE night! Kyle did a wonderful job catering to each and every one of our guests (but also ran their requests by us first). He knew just the right songs to play and when to play them.
Kyle even improvised extremely well and added our sand ceremony before the cake (because our officiant forgot it). He gave a beautiful introduction.
The Photo Booth was also a huge hit all night! There was a minor glitch with the date on the prints at first, but they more than made up for it by extending their time with us. All of the photos turned out great!
Overall Kyle's charismatic and helpful attitude made the night a smashing success!!! We received so many compliments about him and have recommended him to all of our friends and relatives. We will definitely return to Sounds Abound for any and all of our future DJ/Photo Booth needs!

We’ve used your services for many years and have always been pleased. I particularly like Rufus and am always confident things will go off smoothly when he’s in charge. He has a great energy and is great at engaging the audience. We’ll look forward to our next event with you!

We used Kyle as our DJ and we couldn't have been happier! He allowed us to compose our own request list as well as listened to what our guests wanted. There was never a time throughout the wedding where no one was on the dance floor! I have never seen so many guests still out there dancing at 12 am! We had a great time and we cannot speak more highly of Kyle and Sounds Abound!

Awesome DJ's and Great Service

Our wedding was May 23rd 2015 and Our DJ was David Wilner and Chris Colvin. We found about Sounds Abound when my brother and his wife used them , specifically David for their wedding two years prior. At their wedding David had my wife and myself and the whole crowd dancing the whole night playing great music non stop. When we got engaged after booking our venue first thing we did was call Sounds abound and request David Wilner. Sounds abound music selection is great, you can choose your must play list, do not play list and a playlist to fill in the rest. David did an amazing job filling in the blank areas of songs that we needed or were missing. David and Chris did an amazing job at our wedding keeping my wife and myself along with our whole dance group dancing the whole night, which is awesome to see especially when there is such an array of age groups at the party. We were once again impressed with sounds abound and the service and quality of service provided. David kept us and the wedding on track and helped us along the way. I would recommend Sounds abound and David and Chris to anyone looking for a DJ for their event. David and Chris kept our party going the whole time with awesome selections and also let us pick any additional songs on the spot if needed. David and Chris were also great because they accomodated us by playing a selection of polish songs at our wedding that we chose beforehand. Chris was also a blast to have co-DJ with David. Great people, great time,great service, worth every penny. As my brother said to David 2 years ago, he is a "DJ Magician Dude." Thank you for making our wedding that much more memorable.

Best Decision Ever
Here's a simple tip to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding reception—go with Sounds Abound.
Rufus presided over our wedding reception on May 24, 2015, along with his assistant Casey. Before the wedding, we filled out an easy-to-use online portal to request specific songs and callouts. A couple weeks before the big day, Rufus kindly met with us to walk through the entire day. Prior to this Rufus was available via e-mail/phone for any questions we had. He was the only vendor we could contact whenever we wanted and he was happy to help. Rufus also called again before the wedding to go over everything we had filled out in the portal. We spoke on the phone for almost an hour and I could tell he wanted to make sure the night went perfectly, he is a true professional who is passionate about his work. He was sure to make sure he had pronunciations correct for all of our attendants.
We were a little worried about having a DJ for our ceremony since we had never been to a wedding with a ceremony done by a DJ. Rufus made our ceremony PERFECT!!!!! Everything flowed flawlessly.
From our reception introduction to our last dance, Rufus led the reception with unbelievable charisma and energy. The event was organized perfectly, and Rufus handled off-schedule things like surprise toasts with such grace. His song list was so on point, the dance floor was packed full of guests the entire night. Casey was super friendly and integral to the night as well, even asking us if there were any songs we'd like to hear in the last hour. Our dance floor was packed the entire night!!!
We also rented a photo booth from Sounds Abound, which was a huge hit. When we looked at the photo strips the next day, we laughed hysterically as we saw our guests look their best with gigantic hat and glasses props. The photo booth attendant was super friendly and since we were busy all night when he saw us both (my husband and I) together near the booth he made sure to call us in- SOOO glad he did that or we wouldn't have had a photobooth pic of both of us!
I give Rufus, Casey, and the rest of the staff at Sounds Abound the highest of recommendations. Their experience, professionalism, and talent made hosting a wedding reception look easy. This should be a no-brainer for couples looking for a wedding DJ. Pick Sounds Abound.... and if he is available choose Rufus!

Brian Keck
We had the pleasure of having Brian Keck DJ our wedding and reception this May, he was awesome! He was super friendly and walked us thru everything so we knew exactly what was happening and when. He has such a great personality and really seems to love what he does. I would highly recommend him to anyone having an event, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Thanks Brian!

Professional and able to connect with their clients
What a fun wedding reception... the energy was kept up (everyone on the dance floor) because of Matt Ammons from SoundsAbound..he did a great job with music selection... I heard from many it was the most fun wedding reception they had been to...ever.
My pet peave is when a DJ says something like," everyone get up on the floor and dance!" I dont like that... the music will make everyone dance... the rest is begging... Matt's music had everyone on the dance floor all night long... no one, including my daughter the bride, did not want to leave. As she said, " the night was PERFECT!" What else does a father want to hear?
Matt was easy to work with, receptive to ideas and integrated them nicely into the evening... a true professional...
Thanks again!
May 23, 2015
Fantastic-- all around
Sounds abound and its crew made our wedding that much more perfect! Great communication/feedback and even better service!!! Matt Ammons (DJ) specifically deserves extra recognition for always going the extra mile to produce nothing but spectacular outcomes! Thank you!!!!

Larry from Sounds Abound did a tremendous job of DJ'ing at our wedding! He was spot-on with his announcements and did a great job of playing all of the songs we asked for as well as working with me to incorporate custom songs into the ceremony and reception. The company was very affordable and helped us stay within our budget while still providing excellent services. I would gladly recommend Larry and Sounds Abound to anybody.

We loved Sounds Abound. Very professional. Our DJ, Jeff and his team did everything we asked and more. We would highly recommend their services.

Gabe's Bar Mitzvah
Our family recently hosted our son's bar mitzvah party at a venue in Northbrook, and our guests numbered about 70 kids and 50 adults. David Wilner and his team MC'd and DJ'd the festivities perfectly for all. David took the time in advance to get to know us and to understand our combined preferences. When the big night arrived, the flow of the evening's activities went like clockwork, drawing kids and adults out to the floor for games and dancing--everyone enjoying themselves together!

Totally Made Our Wedding
Larry and everyone from Sounds Abound totally helped make our wedding perfect! Everything ran smoothly and everyone had a lot of fun on the dance floor. We would definitely recommend Sounds Abound to family and friends in the future!

Sounds Abound were great to work with! It was fun to be able to customize our must play (and don't play!) lists and the personalized phone call before the wedding to talk through the details (even things I didn't think to mention) was a huge relief for me. Grateful for their attention to detail and Brian was a total pro!

Awesome Kyle
In a way I feel like this will end up being a huge promotion, but in the end I want it to. We chose Kyle from sounds abound to do our wedding and I honestly believe we had the best DJ out there.
Mind you this is coming from a guy that frequents bars and has a very distinct type of music style that he likes. When it comes to classic rock and alternative, Kyle listened to all our requests and while I'm not promoting our wedding, I feel like I've never seen a dance floor so full at any wedding I've been to, which has been at least over 40 weddings in the past 8 years. He was phenomenal, and every guest at our wedding I talked to afterwards has said that our wedding was an absolute blast. My aunts were dancing along with almost every guest we had. This is coming from a groom that idols my like to dance a ton, but that dance floor was drawing everyone in.
I couldn't be more ecstatic about Kyle and the job he did. At the end of the night when we wanted to have a private moment last dance and security was being pushovers, Kyle played our song and let us dance while the tables were being torn down. He is the consummate DJ that looks out for the couple and makes sure that their day is perfect. He did just that and I couldn't be happier. If you can book a better DJ I dare you to. I give all my thanks to Kyle and his crew and how welcoming they were to our somewhat ridiculous requests. Thank you Kyle and your crew.

Awesome!
We had Tony Ho for our wedding and it was just awesome. We had very specific requests, which was probably very tedious but Tony just prepared everything perfectly. He was very easy to work with, and I don't even need to talk about the music, because our dance floor was packed with crowd until midnight. I would highly recommend Sounds Abound for their exceptional customer services and Tony Ho as DJ.

I hired Sounds Abound to DJ and MC our wedding ceremony & reception in April 2014 for our April 2015 wedding. I came across them by accident, actually - I had a consultation another company they share a space with, and met with Rufus as I arrived early. They were my first and only formal music consultation! Rufus was honest with their packages and didn't attempt to upsell me to anything we didn't need, which I appreciated. Months after I spoke with Rufus, I ran into him at a wedding expo, and he surprisingly remembered me, which won me over.
The value of their packages was also higher than the other DJs I had seen at expos, and I really loved their online functionality. All info can be provided to them at any time online, their forms make the standard reception idiot-proof so you don't forget anything, and their 'jukebox' feature provides you with billboard lists, common songs for all the typical wedding dances, and easy creation for "must-play" and "do not play" lists, as well as allows you to pick the over-all musical vibe for your wedding. Their responses were always under 24 hours by email both before and after booking, and they provided deposit reminders and updates for when to start thinking about different components of the event.
We chose Gary as our DJ & MC, and we were so happy with him! We met with him about three weeks prior to our wedding to go over the flow of the event, and he made everything very easy. Gary was very flexible and intuitive on the day of the event, also - we changed the format of our ceremony the day before the wedding, and added a component to the reception the day of, and he pulled everything off as though it was the plan all along. Very importantly, he stuck to our "must play" and "do not play" lists, and made all our guests feel welcome - we provided some Polish music for my husband's family and friends, and controlled the flow on the dancefloor masterfully, making sure no group felt neglected. I absolutely recommend Sounds Abound!

Sounds Abound was Fantastic!
We had Tony Ho as our DJ. He was great to work with and very friendly. We requested various music during our ceremony which he blended in perfectly. His timing was exact. Our guests all commented how friendly and accommodating Tony was regarding their requests for music. We had a blend of young and old at our wedding. Tony really had a feel for the entire room and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. We are very pleased and will be recommending Sounds Abound and Tony Ho without hesitation. Thank you for everything.
Outstanding DJ Service
Brian Keck was the DJ for our daughters' First Communion party, and he did a fantastic job! We had a very specific play list, and he made sure to play everything we requested, blended with other songs that were just right for our audience. After overhearing my parents talk about how much they love Frank Sinatra, Brian proceeded to play some of his songs to my parents' great delight. Brian was not only a first-rate DJ, he was friendly, professional, and accommodating. Even before we met Brian, Sounds provided excellent customer service, making the entire process efficient and hassle-free. I would highly recommend both Sounds and Brian.

We had a great wedding reception that was even better thanks to our DJ/MC Rufus! Our dance floor was busy all night long and he did a great job of reading the crowd and keeping everyone happy. We had a pre-event meeting with Rufus to review the sequence of introductions, toasts, and other special requests in addition to the music we loved and wanted to hear. The online planner was a big help in ensuring we got to hear (and dance to) the music we enjoyed without having to think up and make requests on the night of our reception. Our guests made lots of comments about how the dancing and our reception were the best they have attended and while we are probably biased, we have to agree! We highly recommend Rufus for anyone considering a wedding DJ/MC!
May 2, 2015
We had one request when it came to our reception music: that our guest remain on the dance floor. Sounds Abound, and our DJ, Matt Ammons did not disappoint! Matt took our request to heart, and our guests definitely had a great time!! His attention to detail on cutting songs just right was outstanding. He also helped with setting up the timeline, and moving things along during the night for us. He definitely went above and beyond what we were expecting out of our DJ services, and we couldn't have been happier! We also did our Photo Booth through Sounds Abound. They were fantastic and kept up easily with the masses who were looking to enjoy the booth. Everything was absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for a better team! Thank you all so much for helping make our day so special!

wonderful
My wedding was back in 2011, I usually don't write reviews but I recently just watched my wedding video and wanted to write a review for My D.J Matt Ammons. He was amazing and made our night run so smoothly!!!! He did such a great job so I just wanted to say "thank you".

Craig did an awesome job at our wedding. His communication with us was great, he was very easy to work with, and everything was done with complete professionalism.
April 18, 2015
Gregg did an amazing job at our wedding on April 3! The dance floor was packed all night long. He played a variety of music that pleased the whole crowd. The best part was when he played piano man and got everyone to stand in a circle around my new husband and I! Overall he did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend sounds abound!
April 3, 2015
Tony did a wonderful job at our wedding reception. He guided the timeline of events in an apparently effortless fashion which helped make the evening run very smoothly. He has great intuition for music that is perfect for the guests, and we all had a blast dancing all night long! We'd highly recommend him for any reception.
March 28, 2015
We used Kyle O for DJ services as well and we rented their Photo Booth and uplighting for our wedding reception. We had a great experience with the company as a whole. Everyone that attended our wedding raved about how wonderful our DJ was. He definitely kept the dance floor full the entire evening. He was extremely professional and it is obvious how much he cares about his job!
We would definitely recommend Sounds Abound to anyone!

Amazing Company!
Sounds Abound hosted our company holiday party this past year and everyone that came stated that it was an overwhelming success! Truly it was our best holiday party- EVER! Sounds Abound provided Family Feud Game Show, Photo booth, & DJ services. This review is a couple months overdue, but we look forward to the opportunity of working with this company again. Great customer service and professionalism from start to finish. Thanks again Ken & team!
Matt and I were so pleased with our DJ experience, and wanted to say thank you to Matt Ammons and his assistant for making our wedding day so wonderful. We picked Matt Ammons from the meet and greet nearly a year before our wedding. His personality seemed to match ours and we felt pretty confident we would have a great party because of him. He did not disappoint. We met with him about 10 days before the wedding and went through our vision and thoughts on music as well as giving him some lists of music we were excited about for our wedding day. We went outside the box with cocktail hour music and dinner music and he was super receptive to all of our requests and suggestions. On our wedding day everything went off without a hitch and there wasn’t even enough room on the dancefloor at some parts of the night because so many people were dancing. From the moment the dance floor opened up until the very last song the dance floor was full, which is what we wanted. He picked such a good variety of music from our ‘Must Play’ list to song requests from our guests (pre-approved). He did a great job working with our other vendors and making the night one that not just us, but our guests, will remember for a long time. An added bonus, just before the wedding Matt found us on social media outlets like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat and after the reception was over he shared videos and pictures with us from our special day! It was great! Thank you so much for helping us throw a great party! We also rented uplighting and a photobooth which were great!

Amazing ! Professional & Friendly

Our Wedding was amazing and our DJ made it perfect.
Ernesto Maturrano took the time to listen to what we really wanted and truly captured our vibe and taste in music. He meet with us and asked important questions that we never knew to ask, or knew that we would even need.
Our ceremony was outside and suggested that we mic our Pastor so our guest seated in back would hear every word. Best suggestion ever! I've been to other ceremonies and consider you lucky to hear the "I Do's" or anything for that matter. Ernesto took the time to place everything from the front to the back to ensure everyone heard every word. Professional to even suggest it and much appreciated.
We married Sept 28, 2013 and our friends and family are still to this day commenting on how much fun they had at our wedding. We are a blended and interracial couple, (Puerto Rican & African American) it was very important that or Dj pronounced our family members names correctly along with capturing our great blend in music. He respected our no profanity request in some of the songs that we chose and edited them with out skipping a beat. Then dance floor was never empty, and the night was filled with love and great music. Best of all our guest now know how to dance salsa, bachata,weeble wobble and the Dougie lol. Best night of our lives and want to thank our now friend and Dj Ernesto Maturrano from Sounds Abound.
September 28, 2013
What's a wedding without music? Probably pretty dull. What's a wedding with bad music? We would guess even worse. Fortunately for us, we never had to worry about either scenario because we had a phenomenal DJ in Matt Ammons. He was recommended to us via a mutual connection, however we hired him based on his many stellar reviews--and he did not disappoint. Matt met with us in person a few weeks before our wedding and of course asked us which specific songs we would like used in our ceremony, and what styles of music we'd like played at our reception. But he went beyond that by engaging us and getting to know us as couple. He made sure he understood the sort of vibe we were going for, and on the day of he executed it perfectly. He has that knack for keeping the dance floor full and all the generations of family well-entertained. You'd be making a wise choice having Matt emcee your wedding.

Absolutely Fabulous!
Rave reviews is what I am still and yet receiving from our wedding guests regarding our DJ, Rufus, and Sounds Abound. Even after a week, I am still getting comments about: how the music was played during dinner; the great manner in which different things were introduced...cake cutting, first dance, etc.; how accommodating Rufus was with requests....And the list goes on.
Right from the 'get-go', Sounds Abound was informative but not pushy. Communicative but not annoying. And sincerely understanding; they understood we wanted to 'check-around' to explore our options. If I would have known then, what I know now, I could have saved myself time and energy by hiring them right off the bat.
When we did go to their office, we met Rufus. You can tell he enjoys what he does. He put us at ease immediately. He was so knowledgeable...not only about doing his job but about the location and layout of our venue. If I had a question or comment to which I wanted to speak with him, he was accessible via email, text and of course by phone. The one time I didn't find him at the office, he called me back first thing the next morning. I don't know how he does it.
To wrap this up, know that I am not over-exaggerating, go with your gut and don't waste time...Simply hire them. They are GREAT!

Kyle and Sounds Abound were incredible at our wedding.
The music. the uplighting. the whole package.
Kyle from Sounds Abound was incredible at our wedding. He worked with us for months before the wedding ensuring everything would be perfect.... and it was.
The music was incredible. Ive never been to a wedding were people literally stayed on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG. Usually you have a lull somewhere at other weddings I have been to, but Kyle and Sounds Abound kept people there all night. Everyone raved about our dj service and our beautiful uplighting that Sounds Abound provided.
Exceeded our expectations. we couldn't be happier with the services provided. Thank you!!!

Excellent Company To Work With
Thank you so much - we had a wonderful time and received a ton of positive feedback from our attendees. The photobooth was a huge hit at our company holiday party and everyone enjoyed the DJ, Gregg.
Your staff did and excellent job and was prompt with everyone's needs. They truly conducted themselves in a professional, yet personal manner. We truly appreciate everyone's hard work.
We look forward to working with you on future events
Sounds Abounds has really lived up to it's reputation and name. This is the second year we have utilized your services and it just gets better and better. The DJ Tony Ho made our Holiday Party a true party and it was great.
Thank you again and you are a great organization.
Perfection from beginning to end!
To say I may be a little biased on my testimonial may be an understatement. Since I worked for Sounds Abound for over a decade, I knew the level of professionalism and preparation that the Sounds Abound MCs go through. When I proposed to my now-wife, I immediately knew what company would be providing music and entertainment for my wedding ceremony and reception. We chose Jeff Wells as our MC, as I know him for his attention to detail and excellent MC skills (and he assisted me with my wedding reception dances several times in the past!). Jeff took the time with us to understand exactly what we were wanting for our ceremony and reception. Jeff stayed in contact with us through the process and even accommodated for my customized songs for our ceremony. He worked side-by-side with David Wilner, one of our best friends and fellow Sounds Abound MC, to provide piano music during the ceremony. Jeff had just the right amount of interaction during the reception and always made sure we were taken care of. Sounds Abound will always bring back good memories - not only from my time working with such a well-run and well-respected company, but also for giving us the perfect wedding party. Thanks again Jeff!!

AMAZING -- Even with crazy requests
We just got married on 12/13/14. When we chose the date, our venue suggested we book vendors ASAP. I did a lot of research to find my dj and wanted to make sure they were local to Naperville. I met with about five companies and the first four did not leave a good impression. When we met with Kyle Overbey at Sounds Abound (about a year out from the wedding), we knew we had to lock him in. He was laid-back but knew so much about music. We seemed to understand each other well. I told him we'd likely not put many limitations on what could be played/could not be played. Fast forward to three weeks before the wedding and we met with Kyle again. He had amazing recommendations for bridal party songs, and our last song. They weren't run of the mill songs and I appreciated that he took the time to get to know us to decide what songs would work. We felt more than confident he would do a great job.
On the day of the wedding, my dad had a few surprises that he worked with Kyle on including a Frank Sinatra cover singer and a little video presentation. Kyle was ready to pump music into the cocktail hour just in case the sinatra singer bombed (thankfully all went well). Kyle had a difficult job at our wedding because he was getting requests all over the board, including a few that I put on the "do not play" list. He was kind to the guests and when my dad insisted on a song from the do not play list, Kyle came to talk to me about it and always used his best judgment. Overall, there is no way I would choose another company. Our 24x24 dance floor was PACKED from open to close. Kyle was simply the best.
We also booked Sounds Abound for the photo booth. It's a must have! They do a great job putting together the scrapbook, which is a forever keepsake. Lastly we used Sounds Abound for uplighting. I found out after the fact that the original color we selected didn't look right with our colors, but Sounds Abound worked with my wedding team to come to a quick decision and it was gorgeous.
Thanks Kyle and Sounds Abound!!!!!

DJs Who Care
Our DJ was Tadd. He was exceptional! We had our meeting and described the sort of music we wanted, gave some examples, and Tadd lead the ceremony in a great night of dancing. He took the time to check with my bride and I several times throughout the night to see if we needed anything and keep us informed. He hit all of our must plays and added a couple on the fly that we thought of in the moment. I honestly cannot think of one thing that could have gone more perfectly. Tadd was a huge part of making our special night full of great memories and I would strongly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Tadd

Highly Recommended
Sounds Abound was highly recommended by the event coordinators at Maggiano's and I can see why. This is our second year back there for our company Christmas party, and we had even more fun this year than last, which was hard to top, but I requested Craig again, and he made it happen!! If we're lucky enough to have another party next year, I know I'll ask for Craig.
Our wedding on 12-12-14 was amazing because of Kyle. I never had to worry about anything and he kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. Everything was perfect! Could not recommend Sounds Abound enough!

Gary, our DJ with Sounds Abound, provided a fantastic night of entertainment for our daughters wedding. He did a great job of keeping our guests out on the dance floor which was always packed. He was also willing to lead our guests in line dances. I think he played three of them and only had to lead in one of them. (which our guests loved) I was so surprised to see how many people were still on the dance floor when Gary played the last song. People were still wanting to dance! Both Gary and his assistant were dressed up and very professional. He was great to work with. As for the photo booth, I don't think it was ever empty! It is a must have at a wedding. The disc they provide you, is a copy of everyone who had pictures taken! What a great keepsake and such fun to look at. I would hire them again!
October 18, 2014
Hi, Gregg,
We can't thank you enough for helping make our party a success! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music. Thank you very much for assisting us through the process. We were very pleased with the entertainment. You are very nice and kind, which is evident in how you treated us and our guests.
It is evident that you enjoy what you do, which seems to be more of a passion than a job.
People so enjoyed the evening that they have asked us for our play list. While we could name many of the songs, we could not remember them all. Thank you.
We hope that our paths will cross in the future.
September 27, 2014
Jeff,
Joe and I wanted to thank you so much for being part of our special day! You did an amazing job and we really did have the time of our lives! We'll definitely recommend you to our friends and family!

Prompt, Persistent, Professional
Going through the process of planning a wedding with my wife I learned that the most important aspect of all was communication. Sounds Abounds was by far our best vendor when it came to communicating and this was evident from the beginning. During the first meeting and all other meetings after that anything discussed was always carefully written down and sent out after the meeting so everybody was in agreement. This really helped out when you called in to discuss something with a Sounds Abounds staff member. Furthermore, Sounds Abounds always made sure we were on track with our planning making sure to send out reminders. It was one less thing to think about which helped out a lot. The online music portal they provided was also very user friendly and made planning our music for the night a very positive experience.
On to our actual DJ, Kyle Overbey. Kyle was a true professional. He made my wife and I feel at ease throughout the whole planning process. I can honestly say that I had no worries going into the wedding regarding our DJ because Kyle had everything under control. He was there to offer guidance when we had questions and make recommendations when called upon. Kyle's true skills were in full force the night of our wedding. I had both young and older people coming up to me telling me how awesome the music was. The sound was perfect and Kyle created a personal play list that got the party going.
Thank you Kyle and Sounds Abounds for making our wedding night very special!

First of all I would have to thank Rufus for all the hard work that he put into our big wedding day, leading up to and the day of. I 100% would recommend him for any one of my friends or families weddings or events. He planned with us very well leading up to the day. He had everything all ready when we arrived at the hall and everything in order. I had not one worry in the world when it came down to the music, announcing, up lighting, professionalism, entertaining, coordination with the hall, or coordination with other entertainer. By far he went above and beyond his duties that night, which made it so much easier on us as the bride and the groom to enjoy our special day. Thank you Rufus.
October 25, 2014
Craig Mohler did a great job. He kept the everyone dancing and having a good time. He was very professional during all events like cutting of the cake, first dance and etc. I'm very happy with quality sounds abound gave me for my wedding and I highly recommend Craig for anyone else's wedding.
November 7, 2014
Dave and I just wanted to tell you how extremely please we were with your company for our wedding reception. Kyle and Rufus did a great job, and really were able to get to know our guests and what got them on the dance floor in a short amount of time. We received nothing but praises about the great music, lighting, and DJs. Thank you so much for being a part of our day and making it a memorable experience. I have already had people ask for your company's information; perhaps we will see you again at friends'/families' weddings. Thanks again!

Sounds Abound did an amazing job. Matt was our DJ and he was great! He kept the dance floor packed. We had a great time! I highly recommend Matt and Sounds Abound.
October 25, 2014
We could not have asked for a better DJ than Kyle. Everything at the reception went off without a hitch thanks to Kyle and his assistant. All of our guests stated they had never experience such an amazing reception and much of that had to do with Kyle. The dance floor was always full and the song choices were perfect! We let Kyle have free reign over what to play and he did not disappoint! We would recommend Sounds Abound and Kyle to anyone who needs an amazing company to work with!
November 14, 2014
Sounds Abound was an amazing choice for our wedding - and David Wilner, the DJ we chose, was PERFECT. The music he chose all night kept everyone, young and old, on the dance floor. They were really easy to work with and made the process as smooth as possible.

Reception Perfection
Sounds Abound and Gregg made our Wedding Reception Perfect! They were so professional in working with our hall and making everything go smoothly throughout the night. They made sure that their announcement of all names was correct when bringing everyone in and they were involved in everything without stealing the show. They were really great at reading the crowd to know which music to play. They were great about playing our favorite songs and incorporating them into the many parts of the evening. They even worked with me to play the combo song I made for our surprise father daughter dance. Their professional attitude and knowledge of music made our evening perfect. Everyone was dancing and having a great time!

We choose Sounds Abound because they were a preferred vendor at the Hyatt Lodge and all the great reviews we read. Tony Ho was our DJ for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He did a fabulous job. He was so friendly and made us feel comfortable immediately. He also always responded to our emails very promptly. He was there all day long and we really appreciated his enthusiasm. Our ceremony music was perfect and he transitioned the music seamlessly. He really listened to our music preferences and our wedding had a great mixture of music. He kept the dance floor full all night long. He also did a great job introducing our bridal party as well as making the announcements needed throughout the evening. We highly recommend Sounds Abound and Tony Ho!

Keith is an amazing DJ!
After picking out our wedding venue, my fiancé and I quickly started researching wedding DJ companies. After meeting with 2 companies and being uncertain about making a decision, we met with the owner of Sounds Abound, Ken. I read many 5 star reviews on Yelp and figured the meeting would go well. We were impressed with everything - the pricing, the professionalism, as well as the equipment we were shown in their office. Ken did not push us to sign a contract - he rather told us to take time and think it over, which was a good sign. One of the DJs, Keith, happened to be in the office that day and Ken suggested we talk to him to get some ideas for our wedding. Keith has a great personality and is very outgoing. He knew his stuff. We went home and decided to go ahead and book Keith from Sounds Abound. It was a great decision! In the months leading up to the wedding, I used the Sounds Abound client planner to input all of the music I wanted to use in our wedding ceremony and reception. It was a great tool to keep me organized. At our final meeting, Keith went over everything with us and made us feel that we would be in good hands. We had an untraditional idea for our first dance song and parent dances, which was not an issue for Keith. He put together 2 versions of the song I wanted to use and emailed them to me. I had no doubt that he would make an amazing DJ on our wedding day. And he did. We could not have asked for more. He did an awesome job at being our emcee throughout the night as well as of course, keeping the dance floor packed. We played all of the songs on our "must play" list. The whole evening went very smoothly from start to finish. If I could do this all over again, I would definitely pick this company and pick Keith as our wedding DJ. My husband and I are a very satisfied, newly-married couple.

People centered, fun and outgoing

Kyle Overbey MC'ed our wedding and absolutely killed it! We met him just a few days before and he helped to calm our nerves and relayed the message that he simply was there for us. I initially had mentioned to Kyle my concern about entertaining all generations at my wedding, making sure the young crowd had a solid party but the older crowd felt comfortable enjoying themselves as well. You wouldn't believe how many guests, young and old, told us that it was hands down the best wedding they had ever attended. Kyle accommodated all sorts of requests, including generational dances, traditional dances, and even a Polka or two. Kyle and Nico were outgoing and receptive to both our requests in addition to the feel of the crowd. They even had an awesome light show set up that really added to the excitement of the night. We were so grateful to have had Sounds Abound and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wonderful wedding experience.

Keith Talaga Review for October 4th, 2014 Wedding:
October 4, 2014
Sounds Abound was absolutely amazing!

We had such a great experience with sounds abound. We loved working with Larry. He was so nice and gave great advice. We loved being able to go online and watch videos of the DJ's. Larry was funny and worked great with all the weird requests people made. He was also great at keeping us on track.
We also went with up lighting and the photo booth. Everyone had a blast using the photo booth. The uplighting transformed to room completely. It was so beautiful, I'm so glad we went with it.
I highly recommend Sounds Abound for any party!
So easy to work with! Larry was extremely laid back and easy to work during our initial meeting. We gave him minimal ideas for what we wanted, and he was able to expand on our suggestions and keep the dance floor going all night!! Highly recommend Sounds Abound in general, they are a great company, love their online planner system (made planning a wedding out of state very easy, and made payment easy as well), and everyone I interacted with was very nice. Thanks to Larry for making our wedding so fun!!
November 1, 2014
Tony Ho and his assistant Mike were FANTASTIC! The DJ is such a key part of a wedding doing introductions and keeping things on track etc... and Tony knows EXACTLY what he’s doing!!!

3.He went out of his way BEFORE and AFTER our wedding to ensure we were helped and satisfied!
4.Played fantastic music
5.All requests were played
6.He was funny and seemed to fit right in with everyone at our wedding.

We chose Sounds Abound after attending a friend's wedding who used the company for their wedding. It was one of the best weddings we had ever been to and it was mostly due to the fact that the music was really good. We chose Ernesto because he is one of the DJ's that can mix/spin music. We are so happy we chose Ernesto because he did an amazing job!! We were beyond happy with the results of the music and we received so many compliments from guests about the music. He kept the dance floor full all night and delivered the exact vibe we wanted. We will definitely recommend him to people in the future!! Also, Sounds Abound did a great job with our uplighting and photo booth. Everything exceeded our expectations and turned out great!

Great DJ
If you are looking for a DJ look no further than David Wilner from Sounds Abound! It was by chance that We met David and he became the DJ for our wedding but my wife and I plus the 130 guests all agree that it was lucky we did because he was awesome! From young to old he kept everyone on the dance floor and entertained. A couple friends who are getting married next year comment that they were upset they had already booked because he did such an awesome job. It wasn't just the night of the party that makes him such a great DJ -- it's the preparation leading up to the event. He was always in contact and willing to help out in whatever way possible. He worked with us to ensure that we had the music we like and mixed in a little something for everyone. If you're in need of a DJ for whatever event, go with David and you will be nothing short of elated at the job he does.

Wonderful, perfect, so easy to work with
I was married just 2 days ago! My finace and I had Tony Ho as our dj and his assistant Michael as well. We also used the photobooth with Sounds Abound. Everything was perfect. Tony was wonderful throughout the entire process, even adding songs for us the day before! He and Michael had the dance floor full all night! I had many people comment to my how great they thought it was. They especially liked how Tony and Michael participated in the Wobble... let me tell you, they can wobbble!
The photobooth was also a huge hit. Everyone loved it and we got a book with all the pictures that provided a lot of laughs and is a great momento of the night.
I would highly recommend the services from Sounds Abound as we really didn't have to worry at all about music leading up to the reception and it ended up perfectly!

October 25th Wedding
We had a great experience with Sounds Abound Entertainment, especially with our DJ - Jason. Sounds Abound was always responsive and organized and timely with all of their responses. The night of the wedding went off without a hitch thanks to Jason! He made the whole night stress free and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We had many comments from people saying they had never seen a dance floor packed from start to finish!
Thank you so much Jason and Sounds Abound!!!

Awesome!
This place was great to work with! The services they offer and the time they give was just what I was looking for.... also their pricing was great! I was able to do DJ, uplighting and photobooth all at one place... so much easier on a bride planning! We had Rufus and he was THE BEST! He really took charge on the day of the wedding and led the night off to the right start. We loved working with him and people commented about him all night how wonderful he was!! I wish we could do the night all over again!

Dear Rufus,

Matt Ammons was our DJ at our wedding on 10/18, and to be brief, he was phenomenal. He kept us on time, and also kept the party on the dance floor, which is exactly what we wanted. He was professional, patient, and very genuine throughout the entire process... Did I mention patient? We had seen Matt through a couple of different friends weddings and we knew he was the guy we had to have. He made our reception memorable and so much fun. I would not hesitate to recommend him again... We were honored to have him be our master of ceremony.
October 18, 2014
Tony was exactly what we wanted at our wedding! So many guests of all different ages commented on how great he was. He accommodated our requests and adapted the music to the style we wanted. Couldn't have asked for a better night, thank you Tony!
October 11, 2014
Rufus was AMAZING!
Sounds Abound is a GREAT company!! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we have Rufus to thank for the amazing job he did! Even before the wedding day, he was very responsive to suggestions we had and well organized. By the wedding day, we already felt extremely comfortable that he would do a great job. Rufus kept the dance floor going ALL night!! He even came out and helped us learn the wobble, which we will never forget!! Thank you!!!

Newton/Thurow October 11th Wedding
We had Jason as our DJ. He did an AWESOME job keeping the party going with his creative music mix. We had multiple compliments on the wide variety of music was. As the bride, I have never seen my father dance, and he was out on the dance floor. Jason also did an awesome job keeping the night organized and communicating with myself and the groom. The dance floor was full the entire night, and we couldn't have been happier with Jason and the services he provided.
October 11, 2014
Rufus is the MAN!!

Thanks to Rufus we had an amazing wedding! The entire time the dance floor was full from the beginning to the end. He was very good at only listening to me or my wife and not playing what my drunken friends were trying to request. Sounds Abound make it extremely easy to set up your entire wedding and customize how YOU want it. I would highly recommend Sounds Abound for anyone and you must ask for RUFUS!!
Thanks again!
Curtis & Kelly Restko
Feed back from everyone at the Reunion was "Great DJ"! "Music was great" "Greg really did a fantastic job". Hats off to Greg and Sounds Abound, you really know how to throw a party.
Fantastic!
Jason Yach was the DJ for our wedding and he did an amazing job! The music my husband and I listen to isn't really the best for dancing and keeping people on the dance floor but we put a few dance songs in our online planner and with that and our quick chat a few weeks before the wedding Jason was able to come up with an amazing playlist for the evening! People were out on the dance floor all night having a great time! When we first visited Sounds Abound in Naperville we met with Jeff and he was also great to work with. These guys aren't pushy and don't try to sell you stuff you don't need. If you need a DJ I definitely recommend you check out Sounds Abound and Jason Yach!! Thank you for making my reception a blast!!

Bounding joy with Sounds Abound!

Ken, Larry, Steve, and the entire crew with Sounds Abound have provided us with such an exemplary service for our wedding, it's hard not to be grateful. From the day we walked in to their office, Ken was honest, caring, and eager to help us plan our event. Kudos for also being a Cubs fan! During the planning process, they allowed us to make changes along the way with so much ease! Their website and tools online, including their extensive music library, gave us the control to really set the tone (ha!) for our special day. Larry and Steve, I could not say enough wonderful things about them! Larry did so much to put us at ease for the night! My wife worked with Larry and the rest of Sounds Abound to put together a special, surprise Daddy-Daughter dance! They helped make recommendations for our music selection - when to play this, how we should time that, do we really want to have a different song for each intro, etc. And much to my surprise (hey, I've been to quite a few weddings), there was never an empty dance floor! They even led us through the YMCA, and had so many people smiling and laughing all night. It's so funny to find out we took our honeymoon at the same place that Larry did (he wasn't kidding how wonderful it was there)! Sounds Abound, I can't think of anything you could have done better for us and our day. Thank you, so sincerely thank you! Mark & Heather Jebens

Ernesto absolutely killed it at our wedding!
We could not stop getting compliments on how great the music was compared to other weddings our guests attended in the past.
The mood was set perfectly for every phase of the reception.
Choosing Sounds Abound as a vendor was the best choice we made.
October 11, 2014
I couldn't have asked for a better company to work with for our wedding! Everyone was wonderful to work with: accommodating, helpful, and made the process so easy. Tadd, our DJ, was the BEST! He did an amazing job and had everyone on the dance floor all night. Thank you!!

Amazing Wedding DJ!
Our DJ Gary was fantastic and I would highly recommend him! This was a great company to work with and they made the planning process a breeze. The online portal allowed you to fill in information and songs as you wanted to and when the wedding week got here we did not have much else to do but relax. Gary played all our favorite picks and a couple of special requests from the wedding party. He played all the right music to get people up and dancing throughout the entire night. Our dance floor was never empty!

Best Night Ever!
We had our wedding almost a year ago and Ernesto was our DJ. At our first initial meeting with Ernesto, he listened to our ideas, gave suggestions and knew exactly what kind of music we were interested in to make our wedding reception perfect. The online planner was easy to use and made for an organized night. At the reception, the dance floor was jam packed, which is exactly what we envisioned for our day. We've been to many weddings and have never been to one where the first song, the dance floor was filled and stay liked that until the very end. Everyone still talks about how much fun they had! We had an absolute blast and didn't want it to end. Ernesto made our day perfect and memorable!

The BEST!
My fiance and I booked Tony Ho after hearing him at our friend's wedding and agreeing that he was the best DJ we had ever heard. We jokingly said it was as if he was reading our minds and playing exactly what we wanted. We both believed that the DJ was one of the most important aspects of a wedding, on the same level as the open bar. For our wedding, Tony delivered just as expected. All of our guest commented about the music and how it was the best they've ever heard at a wedding. He was extremely professional. He even matched his tie to our wedding colors.

Jeff Wells ...a job well done!
We had a wedding in August of 2014 at Danada
House.We went through Sounds Abound and chose our DJ, Jeff Wells. He was very organized and did a wonderful job. At the time of setup for the outdoor wedding it was sweltering outside, but Jeff got everything setup with a smile! All went well and we appreciate all of work and organization done by Jeff and Sounds Abound!!

Sounds Abound helped make our wedding day awesome! Our DJ was Brian Keck and he was great to work with. Brian made sure to check in with my husband and I throughout the night to make sure everything was going how we liked. He was also great at reading our guests and keeping everyone up and dancing all night. After the event, Brian even texted us a couple of pictures he snapped from his point of view, which was pretty hilarious. We definitely recommend Sounds Abound to anyone looking for a DJ!!!

Absolutely wonderful!

Kyle from Sounds Abound was the DJ at our wedding reception in September of 2014. From the time I spoke with him months before the wedding, he was wonderful and constantly helping us with planning the music. The online planning was WONDERFUL too! It's convenient and it was easy to go on and add songs as you thought of them throughout the planning process. The wedding music was nothing short of amazing. He did a great job coordinating with our photographer, videographer, and banquet hall too! The dance floor was packed from the time dancing started until the reception ended. Kyle played great songs and knew how to keep the crowd partying all night! He was wonderful to work with and made sure I had everything I wanted...if you want great music & a fun DJ, you want Sounds Abound!
September 6, 2014
Tony Ho and his assistant, Michael, were absolutely fantastic! They were extremely easy to work with and kept the party going all night long. There were never less than 40 people on the dance floor! We received so many compliments and everyone had a great time. We will definitely be recommending Tony, Michael and Sounds Abound to other engaged couples!
October 4, 2014
Jeff,
First off Miranda and I want to apologize since we didn't get a chance after the reception to thank you for doing such an amazing job at our wedding. Not only did you play the music we wanted to hear but you did a great job of blending the new with the old and keeping everyone on the dance floor all night. Everyone kept saying how great the music was and I feel that there was something for everyone to dance to. You only added to amazing memories our wedding day brought and we will forever be thankful. We will be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for a dj, you did a fantastic job!!!
Thanks again!!
Miranda and Jeff Kilburg

Kevin and his team provided 4 hours of non-stop fun during our son's Bar Mitzvah! They kept kids and adults alike involved in games and dancing and enjoying themselves throughout the entire time--people not wanting to leave the fun even to grab a drink or to cool off. Thanks to all of you for helping make Zak's Bar Mitzvah party something he will never forget!

Unforgettable wedding reception!
You guys were with us every step of the way whether it was helping us make decisions about our reception, or dealing with last minute changes. Gary was very professional, but also energetic and so much fun! He got out on the dance floor and taught everyone how to do the wobble, and we still laugh about watching some of our relatives wobble. The dance floor was packed all night and we couldn't have been happier with our experience!
Thanks again!

Excellent, Reliable, and Professional - Bride
Sounds Abound did not disappoint us. From beginning to end, we did not encounter any problems with this company. The whole process was easy and their offerings are vast that we did not think twice in choosing them for our wedding. We could not think of anything negative to say about this company especially our DJ/MC Matt Ammons, who by the way, was very professional, attentive, skilled, and very reliable. Music is a huge component of a successful party and Matt totally delivered that night. The guests cannot stop thanking us for great music and a great night. We got a lot of compliments on our DJ and how the program flowed so well. All of our requests were granted and this company and Matt have exceeded our expectations. It would not have been the best night of our lives if not for them. The photo booth was such a huge hit as well, Thanks Sounds Abound for providing us with this option.

Sounds Abound and Matt are AMAZING! - Groom
Right from the beginning we knew Sounds Abound was the choice to be the life of our wedding reception. From our initial consultation to the last song played, Sounds Abound, specifically Matt Ammons, were very professional.
Matt was very attentive to our needs all the way up to the wedding day. He always made sure that we knew what was going on and what was next during the program.
Lastly, the music that was played during our reception was AWESOME! Most of our guests were telling us how great the song selection was - there was not one dull moment on the dance floor! Matt was very receptive to the guests' vibe and fed off of that.
To the entire staff from Sounds Abound, you all contributed to the best night of our lives.
September 6, 2014
Thank you to Matt Ammons and Sounds Abound for helping to make our wedding a fantastic event! Matt and his assistant, kept the wedding flowing nicely and had our guests dancing! Even before our wedding Matt was very helpful and met with us a month before just to make sure we had everything in order. My husband and his friends did an impromptu fireworks show at our wedding and Matt played the perfect music during the show. I couldn't have asked for a better entertainment group, thank you so much Matt!!
September 13, 2014
We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Sounds Abound! The entire process of planning and selecting our songs, up through the day of the wedding were very professional and SO FUN. Our DJ, Kevin, was so conscientious to us as the bride and groom, and made sure we knew what was happening and when. He was also so receptive to the guests and had everyone dancing all night. Kevin also had some fun "tricks" to keep the guests engaged. Our event coordinators said they were the best DJ group they have ever worked with, and I would absolutely agree! They made our night even more wonderful than we could have dreamed of.
September 6, 2014
Excellent
We absolutely loved our DJ David Wilner, he was confident, very comfortable with the microphone, professional, kept all the wedding events within the schedule, played music that all age groups could dance to, played all of our special requests and overall did a fantastic job, we are very very happy with the result and would totally recommend him. The photo booth was also great! People loved it and the photo strip is not only a nice wedding souvenir for guests but also some funny pictures of our guests for ourselves to keep.
Excellent service, Sounds Abound is a solid company, I would totally hire your services again for future events. 5/5 stars!!!*****

We had Rufus as our DJ at our Wedding on September 13th at Venuti's in Addison. He was so polite and all around fun that our guests are still raving about what a great time they had! They were even "table-dancing" during dinner! We wouldn't have had such an amazing event if we wouldn't have gone with Sounds Abound and Rufus specifically! He really understood the vibe we and our guests had set for the night and every song just played that up more and more! Our goal was to have the dance floor packed all night long-and it was!! I could really go on and on! Needless to say-we loved working with the company as a whole and would do so again in a heartbeat!!
