Fred was awesome for our 5/14/22! He played everything perfectly & even managed my kids odd requests! He timed things well, was SO personable as a DJ & announcing. He really played to the crowd & for people dancing! Kathy was great with the day of and even helped us plan & execute favors! Ann was a riot & so welcoming & upbeat for the photo booth! Those 3 are a triple threat for wedding entertainment! So thankful they were apart of our wedding

I chose to go with Soundwave DJ's based on a personal reference and I was not disappointed. I had high expectations as their reviews were fantastic, but they exceeded every single one. Kyler was my DJ who was extremely friendly and great communicator. He told me what he needed from me, and made my job very easy. Additionally, we hired Denise to act as a day-of-coordinator.
She helped decorate, and was getting stuff done the entire day. Honestly, she was worth her weight in gold. At one point during a photo session she appeared out of nowhere with cold water which was a god send on such a hot day. We also made use of their state-of-the-art photo booth which was fantastic. Now we have tons of awesome pictures from the wedding which the guests also got a copy of.
The up-lighting is great as well, and I highly recommend it to help set the mood. The owner, Fred, although not DJing our event was very hands on throughout the process. You can tell he puts a lot of pride and effort into maintaining the quality of his business, and it shows. Overall it was a wonderful day and Soundwave did a great job. One final point.
What good is a DJ if no one dances? We didn't have that issue. People were dancing all night from the kids to the elderly. Kyler knew how to read the crowd and kept everyone moving all night.

SoundWave DJ was wonderful to work with for our wedding. Both Fred and Kyler worked closely with my husband and I as we were planning our wedding. They were very responsive and prompt when communicating. I felt like I could reach out at any time with questions or concerns. Kyler DJd our wedding and did a fantastic job. He was flexible and kept us in the loop throughout the evening. He kept guests dancing until the last song! Soundwave DJs helped make our wedding day the BEST day! Thank you!

Hiring Soundwave DJs proved to be one of the best decisions we made during our wedding process and well worth the investment. When we first planned our wedding budget we didn't give much emphasis to the DJ and even considered just having someone babysit a premade playlist. A friend convinced us to look into a few professional DJs and we came across Fred, owner of Soundwave DJs. Fred was very easy to talk to and helped explain the various responsibilities of the DJ, including the importance of communicating with all vendors throughout our wedding day so everyone was in sync.
Imagine announcing the first dance just when the photographer has to change batteries, this is why communication is key and Fred did a wonderful job staying on top of things. There were a lot more aspects to being a DJ/MC than we ever thought possible, and Fred excelled at each one. Since we live 6hrs (by plane) away from our wedding location, we had several long conversations with Fred over the phone which gave us a lot to think about.
Then during a visit to Pennsylvania several months prior to our wedding we met with Fred at the Manor. During this visit we discussed all our preferences with Fred while he continued to provide his expert opinion where needed, he demonstrated how he'd use his software to loop some of the music we wanted for the ceremony, how and when the music will fade in/out, we practiced various entrances to determine how long the music should be, he demonstrated uplighting for us, and at the end of it all we had a great time simply chatting with him as a friend and enjoying some time with his dog. Fred demonstrated a great level of commitment to our wedding, even attending our rehearsal the day prior.
This was a life saver as he is a natural leader and helped collect everyone to get the rehearsal started. As we practiced many of us realized that we weren't sure how certain aspects should be done, in particular the ceremony entrances/exits and the reception entrances, but Fred was able to provide suggestions and direct us. On our wedding day Fred showed up with his crew and did an outstanding job.
If he saw the need to make small adjustments he'd quickly run them by us and we agreed with each of his suggestions. He orchestrated the day perfectly and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. We hope to have an opportunity to work with Fred again.

Soundwave DJ's was a great DJ for our wedding reception. Fred, the owner and DJ, did a great job with music, up-lighting, set-up and emceeing our reception. He was easy to work with, responsible and communicated well with us throughout the process of preparation for the wedding. Unfortunately before the reception began, my wife suffered a migraine that caused us to delay the start of the introductions, but Fred made sure that everything continued to go smoothly and was great at communicating with the wedding party, our family and the vendors to keep everyone on the same page.
He also was incredibly patient and understanding with our venue when there was an issue with insurance and policies that came up a month prior to our wedding date, but he did not let that affect our interactions. Through Soundwave, we also contracted a Day of Coordinator, named Denise, who was incredibly valuable to the venue staff, the other vendors and to us the day of the wedding. Denise kept the day running to schedule and fielded all coordination, logistics, and last minute issues without needing us. Fred went above and beyond both before the wedding and the day of in order to keep everything running smoothly. Overall, we had a phenomenal experience with Soundwave DJ's and highly recommend them.

Fred did an amazing job DJing at our wedding! He kept the music flowing and catered to all the songs we requested. Our guests were able to dance the night away without any songs to dampen the mood. The music was not too loud, which was a huge bonus for our parents. Our guests really enjoyed the Photo Booth. We are excited to get back the pictures along with the videos. If you are looking for a fun, easy going, personable DJ, Fred is your guy!

Fred is amazing; he was so good at reading the crowd, playing music people wanted to listen to, giving insight, using his lighting, and being the general MC. He really cares about making your day special and takes the extra effort to make it everything you could hope for. He drove 2 hours (to Virginia) to visit our venue on his own time to make sure everything was squared away for his equipment, lighting, and photo booth. His prices are very reasonable and honestly you cannot go wrong by using his services!
