    John was by far the best vendor we worked with. He was always extremely prompt and reliable with getting back to any questions or requests that we had whether it was by email or phone. We live a couple hours away so John was able to make us feel completely comfortable when we first set up our FaceTime meeting to our final meeting a week before our big day to talk about the details of our wedding. He went above and beyond for us whenever we had a specific request, for example we wanted our bridal party to be introduced to the Bulls theme song from the 90's and he made it so fun! Our bridal party and the guests loved it! We got so many complements from our guests and the dance floor was always full with people dancing all night. John made our wedding so memorable!

    Sounds Fantastic (SF) was recommended to us by a friend. After our first phone call with John, we knew how responsible and professional he would be. The planning process was very simple and SF was extremely responsive to any and all questions we had leading up to our day. SF lets you be as engaged as you want on the planning process. If we couldn't think of songs to match a time of the event, John offered great insight. As the date neared, John made sure to have every detail of our day laid out and really took the worry and pressure off our shoulders for the entertainment portion of our wedding. On our wedding day, John and SF delivered as advertised. The timeline of the event and every introduction of the bridal party was on point. SF kept the dance floor crowded, playing songs that kept everyone in the crowd of all ages dancing throughout the entire event. We could not have asked for more when we selected Sounds Fantastic.

    John was the most professional & attentive vendor we worked with during our wedding planning. From the first phone call I felt incredibly comfortable talking with him and he was so patient in answering all my questions. As the big day got closer John did a great job of touching base with us and reviewing the logistics of the ceremony & reception. We were set up with access to his playlist and got to input our favorite songs & songs we had already gotten requests for from our guests. I totally trusted John's judgement and he did a fabulous job of guiding us through the flow of our wedding. He called out details that I had not even thought of. We knew we were in good hands. A couple months later we watched our wedding video and it was clear John helped us celebrate and throw one great party. Thank you John!

    Sounds Fantastic and DJ John Nicholas was very professional and detail oriented from the minute we first sat down with him. From the get go you could tell that he has done a number of weddings and has a good feel for how to keep everyone happy. The system he uses to select songs and make special requests is very easy to use and can be done at any time from any computer. On the day of the event he was set up and ready to go in the blink of an eye and did a fantastic job acting as master of ceremonies, making sure to clear any issues with my wife and I. The lighting he brought was unobtrusive and really added some extra character for a great price. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would recommend to any looking for a professional DJ.

    Perfect DJ for our wedding! Super organized, helpful, and had great communication. Played a variety of music and really made us (bride and groom) feel special and catered to our every want and need. Definitely recommend!

    I can't tell you how thankful we are that we went with Sounds Fantastic. We had our wedding last night and I told John before the night was over that I am going to actually write him a review. Literally, I have never taken the time to find a website where you can write a review until now, but with the unbelievable job that John did last night at our wedding, it's only right to tell others how awesome it really was.

    When we first met with John, I could tell by his professionalism the kind of DJ he was, but more importantly what kind of person he was. Throughout the night, we got so many comments about how great the music is and dancing is. I plan on recommending Sounds Fantastic in the future to anyone who wants a DJ that is truly awesome and great at what he does.

    Sounds Fantastic was the first company to contact me and do a full consultation of the service that they provide. I had contacted other DJs, however, they did not seem interested in explaining their services. I knew after the first conversation with John that he was going to be our DJ. The sound system was top notch. He was flexible with some last minute changes to our introductions. And I received many compliments the night of our reception about John. Everyone enjoyed the music and interaction. It was awesome!!

    Sounds Fantastic was great to work with! John was flexible and informative as he guided us through the entire reception process. He had every single song we were looking for including some obscure requests!

    John was an amazing dj. We had a wonderful schedule planned out and he kept us in the loop if we were running behind or if someone wasn't in the room. I asked him when certain requested songs were going to be played so I was aware when I needed to be on the dance floor for dedication songs and he knew right away what was happening next. He was awesome with responding to emails and any questions we had. Very thorough and overall wonderful personality. He knew how to get people on the dance floor and keep it that way through the last song. Definitely recommended!

    John was amazing! I have already recommended him to family members. He was very attentive, flexible and gave us direction when we were lost on what to do. We received many compliments on his professionalism and song selection. Once we got through all of our dances John kept the party moving all night!

    I would definitely recommend this company and dj. The music selection was great! A lot of guests have told us how great they thought the dj was too. He was fun, professional, a great announcer, and very flexible when the night was a little behind schedule.

    My husband and I met with 10 DJ's. Out of all them Sounds Fantastic stood out. John was very professional and personal and made us feel comfortable right away. He was very good at asking questions to help understand what we were looking for. In the end we decided to go with their Platinum package and the 20 wireless uplights. If you have never seen uplighting before it looks incredible. Sounds Fantastic's uplights are wireless and remote controlled so we had different colors for cocktail hour, dinner, and they flashed to the music during dancing. All of our guests were amazed by the light show. John did a great job with introductions and was a great speaker. Our guests danced all night and everyone had a wonderful time. Sounds Fantastic is a cut above the rest and my husband and I highly recommend them.

    John from Sounds Fantastic was our DJ and he did a fantastic job. He met with us prior to our Wedding not once but twice. John was in constant contact with us. He touched base with us during the ceremony and played all the music that we wanted him to play and that the guests requested all night. He did a great job and we were extremely happy with all he did for us.

    We had a hard time figuring out what we were looking for regarding a DJ. We didn't know about lights, or speakers, or anything except what music we liked. When we met with Sounds Fantastic for the first time we were immediately impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful they were. They helped educate us on the options and let us design what we wanted. When our day came everything was just as I envisioned it. Sounds Fantastic was the perfect choice for us and we had a wonderful wedding reception. Sounds Fantastic is the "easy" button for your first class wedding reception.

    If you want your friends and family dancing all night... HIRE SOUNDS FANTASTIC! We had a very diverse crowd with even more diverse musical tastes. Somehow John was able to read the crowd and kept everyone on the floor all night long! Our friends still rave about what a great time they had at our wedding. When we met John we had felt that we had known him forever. He is just a very nice guy who clearly knows what he is doing and can facilitate one heck of a party! Thank you John and Sounds Fantastic for making our wedding just perfect!

    I want to thank John from Sounds Fantastic. We planned our wedding ourselves and it was very stressful. Working with John was stress free and he even recommended some vendors he had worked with in the past. The wedding day came and it couldn’t have been more perfect. John was there early, got everything setup and answered any last minute questions. John is a true professional and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Thanks John!

    My husband and I needed to find an affordable dj for our wedding; however, we wanted a dj that was going to provide premium sound quality with a charismatic personality; after all, we were recently at our friends wedding where they “bargain hunted” a little too much which resulted in a less than desirable DJ (and atmosphere). With that said, we found Sounds Fantastic and while they were not the least expensive quote, they were not the most expensive either. And best of all, their equipment was top notch and the DJ was excellent. We made the right decision. Thank you!

    John at Sounds Fantastic did a wonderful job at our wedding. I pretty much gave him free reign with the music selection throughout the reception and he did a great job setting the mood for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. He asked me what I wanted for each part of the reception and found the right music to make that happen. Our guests had a blast and John was instrumental in creating a great night for everyone.

    The best things about Sounds Fantastic were that if we requested songs before the week of the wedding that they didn't have in their library, they would get them for us without any additional cost. Some of the songs we wanted weren't typical wedding songs, so we really appreciated this aspect of the DJ service. Another awesome "Free-bee" was all of the planning tools provided online. I was able to create a timeline for the reception and John used that to help coordinate with the other vendors. It really was reassuring to know I had assistance in keeping everything organized and it helped me keep stay calm on the day of the wedding.

    Overall, he gave us a good night of dancing and fun. He kept the party going and wasn't obnoxious with a bunch of talking, he kept to the schedule for songs, dances, toasts, etc. However, he was very inflexible with our song requests for parents entrance, did not play most of our requested songs. Overall, the music was good, he was organized, professional and helped host a good party. If you're someone who wants to be in charge you'll butt heads as he seemed to want to run show; however, if you are easy going and want the guidance then he is very helpful

    Sounds Fantastic Entertainment's reply:

    Dave, I wanted to thank you again for allowing me to be part of Sydney and your wedding reception. I also wanted to thank you for your feedback and apologize for the misunderstanding that occurred. Part of the service I provide is guidance around different considerations that need to be taken into account when making decisions. When it came to your parents dance I was simply providing guidance around how much of the song would be played. I would have been more than happy to play it but wanted to make sure you had the whole picture before you made a decision. Also I'm sorry about not being able to play all of your must play songs. As you might be aware dinner ran almost 40 minutes late and that impacted my ability to play all of your must play songs (I did get to play 43 out of 50 however). Based on your excellent music choices the floor was packed the entire night and many of your guests indicated what a great time they had. Thank you again for letting Sounds Fantastic be a part of your wedding and again I apologize for the misunderstanding.
