I truly cannot recommend them enough. I can confidently brag that we had the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. We saw them perform at another wedding and booked them in between sets they were so good. For ours, we had a 7 piece band perform for the reception and it was so incredible (Motown, funk, oldies, and pop). They brought great energy and the music was amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests. They also did the audio for the ceremony and cocktail hour (just recorded songs, not live) and MC’ed the whole event. It went so smoothly. We filled out an extensive form they have and then met to review the plan for the day. It went off perfectly and flowed so well. Definitely worth asking for Kelley the pianist because he’s also a great singer. My one note is we got a wireless mic for the ceremony and there was a little delay in the audio so it was a little disorienting to speak like there was an echo. It making reading vows a little hard. So I’d recommend either talking to them about that or going with a wired mic, maybe.

We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Rock Steady to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ who can truly bring an event to life. Thank you, DJ Rock Steady, a thousand times over for making our wedding so special and memorable. We’ll forever be grateful for your magic on our big day! With love and appreciation, Madi and Casey

We booked Sound Society for our wedding last month after seeing them perform at a wedding band showcase and WOW did they deliver!!! We ended up booking Sound Society as a three piece string arrangement for our ceremony and as a 10-piece band for our reception with emcee duties and they hit it out of the park. Every part of the process was simple and organized-- Neil from their team helped us choose special songs for the ceremony, tailor our do-not-plays and must-plays for the evening, and plotted out speaking cues throughout the night. A month later and we are still getting compliments about how alive our wedding band was! I spent two solid hours grooving on the dance floor and have no doubt you would do the same if you booked Sound Society.
