BOOK! BOOK! BOOK! MIKE was amazing! With any party you want people to dance and have a good time and Mike did not disappoint! All our guests had the best time at our event. During my dad's speech he mentioned a song we grew up with, and at the end of the night Mike played it! Wow, what a wonderful surprise. He was easy to work with and listened to our song suggestions (I kept our list to about 10 songs, so he could go off the vibe of the room.) And boy did he read the room, if one song wasn't working for a certain generation he'd transition or blended into the next song. He is wonderful! Easy to work with and enjoys what he does!

The best advice I got as a bride was to hire people you trust and let them do their job! Steven and sound explosion defined this perfectly. While I second guessed just about all of my decisions, Steven worked with us to give us the exact party we wanted. From scheduling to lights, everything was perfect. I think it's also worth noting how well he worked with our venue and maitre d to make sure the whole event ran smoothly.
We literally had to worry about nothing. There were a few last minute details to work out and Steven took care of everything. After watching our wedding video, we had even further appreciation for how incredible Steven was. He kept the energy up, people on the dance floor and read the crowd expertly. To us, music was in the top three most important decisions and we absolutely made the right choice with Steven and Sound Explosion.

We are so glad we picked Sound Explosion to DJ our reception! We'd always known they were top notch DJs and event hosts, but interacting with them as we planned our event let us see first-hand how great they were to work with. Mike and Eric stayed in touch with us through all the times we had to reschedule, and they were more than accommodating every time. Our DJ Steve was a big hit with our guests!
He took our suggested songs and asked if he could add in tracks of a similar style. He also had a keen eye for what was most popular with our guests; his resulting picks made for an impeccable playlist. Sound Explosion are a real class act!

I cannot thank Eric and his entire team enough for making my daughters sweet 16 the best party possible. The MC Patrick was full of energy and couldn't have done more to make the party any better than it was. Justin and Jason were also fantastic as photo booth and professional pictures were both amazing! This party was uplifting and fun when everyone needed it the most!
