We used Schaffer Sound for our DJ after both of my sisters did and we couldn't be happier! Chris was great and very easy to communicate with throughout the planning and detail process. All I wanted was a packed dance floor all night and Dave, our DJ the day of, DELIVERED! He had just the right amount of interaction we were looking for and he executed our requested songs perfectly and had the dance floor going all night

SO happy we booked Schaffer Sound for our wedding! Dave was so attentive to what we asked for. He played all of our "must plays", didn't play songs we did not want to hear, and took requests from guests to keep people on the dance floor all night long. He was also super helpful our first time officiant so he was prepared for the ceremony. Working with Schaffer Sound was so incredibly easy, and Chris was very helpful in the office as well. 10/10 recommend this company for your DJ needs!

I recently celebrated my 50th birthday with a party at a local venue. Bill was my DJ and what a pleasure to work with him and Schaffer Sound! From the moment I signed on with them, everything was easy. Having the portal to log in and make notes about my party was great. My musical tastes were adhered to and even went beyond. He knew the crowd, which was a mix of adults and kids. Plus, he played some Italian songs I had requested. I danced the entire night. Thank you!

As a wedding professional in the Philly area we have had the pleasure working with Schaffer sound on many occasions. Ken and his crew always go above and beyond with their services. The music was pumping all night as the dance floor remained packed. If you are looking for a professional DJ with years of experience for your wedding or event, look no further and contact Ken Schaffer.

Schaffer Sound provided an incredible experience for our wedding night. Our DJ, Tony, was great and really kept everyone up and moving on the dance floor. He did a great job getting everyone organized for the introductions and kept everything hype throughout. The music choices were also perfect throughout the whole night, and he even took our requests into consideration. We would absolutely recommend Schaffer Sound to anyone planning a wedding!

My wife and I worked with Chris on the scheduling, rescheduling, and details for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music. Chris was great to work with - quick to respond and Schaffer uses a very organized online portal to help keep track of what songs we need to select. On the day-of we worked with Scott, who CRUSHED IT! Our goal for the reception was a full dance floor. Scott did a great job reading the crowd to keep everyone moving and giving us the occasional much needed break with a slow dance. We didn't realize the night was over until the lights came on - highly recommend.
