    Professional

    Scott was very easy to work with. All of the attendees were very complimentary of the music selections. Great job!

    Avalanche Sound & Lights's reply:

    Gary & Joy,
    You all were a pleasure to work with for sure. Never actually done a reception with so many last minute changes and updates, but we pulled it all together and made it happen. We love a challenge and we got it. The guests were a blast to say the least. They had a ball and so did we!!. "Congratulations".....and we wish you all the happiness in the world!!!

    Best wishes,
    DJ Scott & Lisa Ely

    Best dj ever

    If you feel unsure about who your next DJ should be DONT
    DJ SCOTT ELY IS THE BEST!!!!
    He was the DJ for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing. We had no service at the venue and I still was able to request songs at the reception and everything played perfectly!!!
    Also shout out to his wife! She knows how to keep the party going!
    We had had slow patch where nobody was really dancing and she got out there and brought everyone back on the dance floor!!!
    If you are planning an event and you need a DJ look no further!

    Noelle & Brian,
    Thank you so much for the kind review. You all were so fun to work with. I was soooo happy Brian's brother, Jesus was there with his phone. He saved the day for sure. Unfortunately the wifi at the Powell farm is not good at all. It was great meeting your friends and family. Please feel free to share our contact info with others. I hope our paths cross again in the future.

    Company Christmas Party

    Scott is professional and (one of the most important things) RESPONSIVE. Helpful with suggestions and communicates what his set up needs will be, what his arrival time will be, all of the things you need for peace of mind when your DJ and/or Photo Booth are such critical pieces of your event. You wont regret choosing Avalanche Sound & Lights!

    Highly recommend

    I met DJ Scott when he was at a previous wedding and since I heard so many great things, I decided to book him a year later! Scott went above and beyond expectations. From the first interaction up until the wedding, he was very professional and willing to problem solve, especially when trying to find a way to get music to our ceremony space that was in the middle of an open area and not near a building/electrical outlets. He made our day perfect and everyone enjoyed themselves!

    Avalanche Sound & Lights's reply:

    Laura Beth & Olen,
    Thank you so much for the kind review. You both were awesome to work with and we enjoyed meeting your family and friends. Everyone was so kind and fun. It was a beautiful day all the way around for sure! We wish you much happiness and we truly hope our paths cross again someday. Congratulations on a great wedding day! Feel free to share our contact info with your family & friends.
    Best wishes,

    Fabulous DJ

    As a wedding planner, the DJ is vital to the success of the ceremony and reception! My experience with Avalanche Sound was truly wonderful! Everything from our initial phone call, music preview, and the wedding itself was top notch! DJ Scott and Lisa were the "dream team" and I knew that I was in good hands and most importantly, my couple was! DJ Scott was so easy to communicate with and was flexible with any change I brought his way on wedding day! The guests stayed on the dance floor and I could see where smiles all around the room! Thank you for being so professional and accommodating! You are Lisa were truly a pleasure to work with and I hope to work with you again in the near future.

    Avalanche Sound & Lights's reply:

    Eddie,
    Thank you so much for the kind words/review. It was definitely a great day from start to finish and you were on top of every second of it. Our couple and their guests were happy and that is our main goal. You were a pleasure to work with and we seriously hope to work with you again soon. We have worked with many wedding planners over the years and we must say you are at the top of our list. It takes a good team to pull off a perfect wedding day and I believe we had that team to say the least.

    Best wishes and Happy New Year!!

    Best DJ Ever

    DJ Scott was so easy to work with and made our wedding experience exactly what we wanted it to be! His attention to detail and flexibility was incredibly helpful as we approached our big day. He even spliced together two songs just the way we needed to make the father/daughter dance extra special!

    Mikayla & Michael….It was so much fun being part of your special day! Congratulations….we wish you all the happiness in the world. Thank you for your kind words and great review. I hope our paths cross again in the future!!

    Exactly what we were looking for!

    Scott and Lisa were great to work with! Before our wedding Scott worked with us setting up a game plan for specific songs we wanted used throughout the evening and then ran with our ideas on how we wanted the night to go and put together a great set list! Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!

    Great Choice

    We were so happy with Scott and Lisa at our son and daughter in law’s wedding.
    They really went above and beyond to make the wedding unique by their choices of music. They are a warm and caring couple.
    They arrived early and even came a day before to check out the venue.
    They were flexible when they needed to move their equipment to an alternate location due to the weather.
    The icing on the cake is when Scott helped blow off flying leaves on the dance floor under our tent wedding to help us during the rain and wind. Lisa created a flower arrangement to add to the decor before the festivities began with our additional flowers.
    You know they are great when everyone dances!
    They are very special!
    Thank you Scott and Lisa! We are highly recommend them.

    Hi Debbie,
    It was such a pleasure being part of such a great day!! Thank you for your kind words. They mean more than you know for sure.

    Wayne Preparatory Academy 2023 Prom

    We had an excellent experience with Avalanche Sound and Lights for our junior/senior prom on May 6, 2023. Scott was easy to communicate with, very responsive, showed up on time, and put on a great show. Sometimes it can be tricky to please teenagers with music at events like this, but even our students were happy with our choice of DJs. The photo booth was a huge hit and the pictures were great quality. We will definitely book Scott again, and have no reservations about highly recommending him to anyone for any type of function. If he can make 16-18 years olds happy, he can make anyone happy!

    Avalanche Sound & Lights's reply:

    Hey Barb,

    Helpful and FUN!

    Scott was great! He put in a lot of extra effort leading up to the day, and was an enormous help as I was doing the majority of coordinating on my own. He gave great ideas and pointed out issues when warranted. On the day of, he persisted through a torrential downpour, and everyone still had so much fun! Thanks for being a great DJ!

    Great DJ & Photobooth

    If you want someone who is going to above and beyond, and personalize to what you want, look no further. Scott was was organized, communicative and thorough. The photo-booth was exciting and had lots of elements. Our ceremony music went off without a glitch, and our reception dance floor stayed full. Anything you’re looking for can be found with Avalanche Sound & Lights.

    The Best DJ Around!

    I highly recommend Scott and Lisa Ely with Avalanche Sound Lights & Photo Booth. During the planning process they were professional and easy to contact. When the wedding day arrived they brought the fun and exciting energy. Everyone had a blast and the music choices were exactly what we asked for!

    Fun and professional

    Scott has been a part of our family for many years. We wouldn’t have used anyone else. He is fun, kind and professional. He has a lot of equipment and light to make sure the DJ experience is the best. His wife is with him to assist and she is also a great asset!

    Tammy,
    Thank you my dear. It was so fun being part of Matt & Ashleigh’s big day. They were great to work with and I know they had the time of their lives. That is what we are all about. So glad we could be part of such a perfect day!!

    Best Wishes…Love ya,
    DJ Scott & Lisa Ely
