    Me, my husband and my family/friends are BIG music people. We had so many songs we wanted to hear and we spent hours upon hours writing them down and weeding out the ones that were most important for us to hear. I even sent out song request forms to our guests in our invitations so they could tell us what they wanted to hear and I could add it to our list. Prior to the wedding I had to fill out forms where I wrote we wanted no requests taken at the wedding. I had a zoom meeting with the DJ prior as well where this was stated, and I had sent him not only a typed up list of songs we wanted to hear and our must plays but filled out all the songs on the song app he sent. I had about 12 must plays, maybe a handful of them were played. I had also stated that I wanted a select number of songs to be played first following dinner for older guests, that was not followed as well and ten minutes after dinner there was club music on that I stressed not to play until after cake cutting. He also took requests which I DID NOT WANT and he was playing so many songs that I did not ask for but did not play our must plays let alone our other songs. The entrance song for the wedding party was wrong, I had to send a fried up to tell him a song I did want was in Spanish and he never fixed it, had to send my husband up twice, once to request a must play for my father as the night was almost over and another time because I had enough of the songs and he told him I didn't want to hear the song he was playing. A lot of miscommunication and did not follow any of our directions. Would not recommend or hire. Gave two stars for lighting and phone rental I did but DJ wise he decided to do what he wanted and ignored our instructions and requests. The first time I reached out after the wedding the email went unanswered, then a defensive email came through without a lot of excuses as to why things happened. Finally after I wrote an email explaining what actually happened he took some accountability and basically said he will learn from the experience, which sucks because my experience was way below my expectations and it really soured my wedding and there's nothing I can do about it. I spent a lot of money and did not get what I was guaranteed or told I would get.

    Response from vendorDec 20, 2024
    Dear Kimberly, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologize for the disappointment you experienced on your wedding day. Your wedding is one of the most important moments of your life, and our goal is always to deliver a memorable and stress-free experience. It’s clear from your review that we fell short of your expectations, and I deeply regret that. I understand how much thought and effort you put into your music selections, guest requests, and timeline. I truly regret that these details were not executed as you had envisioned, especially since you took extra steps to ensure your preferences were clear. Miscommunications on our part during your event, particularly with the must-play list and timing of songs, are unacceptable, and I take full responsibility for these missteps. Regarding the emails exchanged after the event, I recognize that our initial response may have come across as defensive rather than constructive. This was not my intention, and I apologize for not addressing your concerns with the care and urgency they deserved. Your feedback has given me a lot to reflect on, and I’ve taken steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We’re improving our internal communication systems, re-evaluating our event preparation process, and implementing stricter checks to confirm client preferences are followed to the letter. I understand that no apology can undo the disappointment you felt, but I genuinely hope you’ll accept this as a heartfelt acknowledgment of our mistakes. I deeply regret that we did not meet your expectations, and I am committed to learning from this experience to improve moving forward. Wishing you and your husband all the best in your new life together. Sincerely, Brian Kania SoundEfx Entertainment

    Brain and the team at SoundEfx had the dance floor packed the entire night! We were given an app the upload our own playlists, make a must play list, a suggestion list along with a do not play. It made everything run super smooth!! Brian was able to take our suggestions and make the night perfect! If dancing is a main thing you want at your wedding/party this business is what you want to book! The photobooth and the phone guest book was a huge hit!! I’m loving looking at all the photos we received back! We will be hiring Brain and the SoundEfx team for all of our next parties and I would be recommending them to everyone I know!! We will be returning clients for life! Thank you Brain and team for making our wedding the best ever!!

    Brian was our DJ for our wedding on 9/21. He did such an amazing job. All my friends are still talking about how good the music was. Brian listened to our requests and made our night so much fun. He also provided the photo booth with props that was a great hit. Thank you!
