Wendy is phenomenal! She always answered my questions without hesitation, always available and all around a wonderful person! She was very knowledgeable about her staff and which DJ would be best and boy was she right! Stop searching, Soundwave is the company you need!

Dj David and Wendy were amazing! I loved utilizing the online portal for planning purposes. We received a several page document outline our wedding plan and s phone call with the Dj. The music was perfect and a great mix for everyone to enjoy! David also kept our bridesmaid dance a secret and worked with us in the planning and making it all happen. 100% would book again and ask for David!

Soundwave Entertainment was our DJ and Lighting team for our wedding and we were absolutely stunned at the amazing job that the whole team did. From day one, Les and Wendy were energetic and passionate about the vision we had for our wedding. They were communicative throughout the months leading up to the wedding and had a fantastic online portal to make planning simple, easy, and exactly like what we were hoping for.
In terms of music at the reception, Les was nothing short of phenomenal as a DJ. He understood the genre and vibe we were going for (classics that were family friendly), and delivered on it with his own touch. Plenty of people were telling us what a great job he did, but we could tell based on how busy the dance floor was. The lighting, done by Wendy, perfectly accentuated the decor in our reception venue and brought the place to life. Overall, everything was perfect and we wouldn't change a thing about our choice in Soundwave.

When looking for a DJ absolutely go with Soundwave Entertainment! They were excellent from beginning to end. We had DJ Les and he was an absolute professional and so kind and a pleasure to work with. His wife Wendy and the rest of the team are great as well. He gave us an amazing party and everyone complimented the music and had so much fun!

DJ David was exceptional. We knew we were going with pros when we chose Soundwave, and DJ David went above and beyond to keep our guests entertained, and had music for our wide variety of guests and music styles. Soundwave's online process of choosing all your music, must plays, never plays, styles, guest types, etc. made it easy to know how the night would go, and then confirming and reconfirming timing for various wedding events went smoothly, and the final phone meeting with DJ David to get to know us put us at ease. DJ David did the music for both our ceremony and our reception (as well as our cocktail hour), and every guest had great things to say about the music and the DJ.

Soundwave Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to have at our wedding. Wendy and Les both made the planning process so easy and effortless. They are a wonderful team. DJ Les brought the party at our wedding and made sure to play all of our requested songs. He came in high energy and kept the party going all night! Thank you for being so amazing.

Wendy and DJ Dennis were great. In the planning process, Wendy was very thoughtful, detail oriented and quick to respond. Dennis did fantastic at the wedding. He really knew how to work the crowd and get everyone on the dance floor. Would 100% recommend Soundwave to anyone looking to hire DJ or lighting services for a special occasion.
