    Fantastic DJ!

    Bill was an awesome DJ! The music was perfect throughout the evening. He did a great job playing so many of the songs we had on our list, and also mixed in some other really great wedding songs that we never would have thought of ourselves. He also provided the microphones for our ceremony on-site, as well as uplighting for our venue, The Bostonian, which looked really fantastic. We would highly recommend him!

    Highly recommend!

    Absolutely loved working with Bill! He did my DJ services and these AMAZING tri-lights for my reception which was one of the main reasons I choose him. They were perfect for my theme and because the tri lights could move and change colors, it completely transitioned the feel from 1920s vintage to party time! He helped guide me through what I wanted to do with my music choices and what's even better is he really was there for ME that day --- I previously worked in the wedding industry so I felt that my other vendors involved with my wedding day were pretty standard (and my venue staff were super disappointing) but Bill actually made me FEEL like a bride which was really nice since I was one! All my guests said they had a great time and the dancefloor was always packed!

    Threw an AMAZING party

    I can't even begin to explain how amazing Bill and his group made our wedding. We have been to a lot of weddings, and knew that even the worst possible wedding could be salvaged with a good enough DJ. Bill made our already perfect day a party, which is exactly what we wanted. He played a great mix of music for all of our families and our friends, which is not an easy feat. Everyone raved at how fun the reception was, and loved the music. Bill took our personalities and rolled with it, playing songs that we requested and ones he thought fit with the evening. We had asked him to make a transition during our first dance and did so flawlessly, helping us surprise our guests. He even made me feel more comfortable doing the Horah and Chair Lift (something I was dreading) by giving us the great suggestion of doing it right after the first dance, before we start drinking to much to prevent being dropped. They also did our uplighting (which looked amazing and was so worth it!) and our photobooth (our guests LOVED this and loved the props they brought). They brought light up sticks/wands without our request and the guests young and old loved them! We couldn't recommend a better company for your wedding day!

    Dawn and Siobhan photographed our wedding in May and we are so happy with our decision to hire Sound City Entertainment to do our photos. The moment we met Dawn, she was very personable and answers all of our questions. Dawn and Bill met with us a couple of times before the wedding to go over details, names, times, and locations. The day of the wedding ran smoothly. Dawn and Siobhan captured so many great photos and it was great having them there sharing in on the experience of our wedding day. They were also very helpful directing my bridal party as they were not paying great attention during the pictures! We received over a thousand photos from our day and they are so beautiful. I would highly recommend them.

    What can I say about Sound City I mean they literally made the wedding, I used Sound City for Photography, DJ, Photobooth and Lighting. The are a one-stop shop and they specialize in it all. Dawn is an amazing photographer, she knows how to deal with people when they start to get rowdy, and she has a great eye for the pictures. Bill was our DJ and he knows just how to get the crowd going, hes got the voice and the ability to mix the perfect songs together, and yet still managed to get a few request in from guest. The team at Sound City are amazing I truly cannot say enough good things about them, book them and you will not be disappointed!

    Bill and his team were amazing! From our first meeting, my fiance and I knew that he was a perfect fit! Our guests were dancing all night and we got rave reviews on our music! He specified the music to what we and our guests enjoy listening and dancing too. I could not be happier with their professionalism and how our wedding turned out! The uplighting made our venue look beautiful and our friends and family really enjoyed the photobooth. I would recommend this company every time!

    We are so happy that Sound City Entertainment was our wedding DJ! The day of our wedding was incredibly, and unseasonably, hot. I was worried that would keep people off the outdoor dance floor. But I was wrong! They kept the party going and the dance floor packed all night with incredible music! They were very easy to work with, very responsive, and flexible! We love that they took requests from our guests, and they honored the requests we had sent them ahead of time. Many of our guests raved about the music, and even said that when they wanted to take a break from dancing and the heat, another great song would come on and they just couldn't leave the dance floor! Music was one of the most important parts of our wedding for us, and we are so happy we chose Sound City Entertainment!

    Hello Melanie!

    Sound City was recommended by our venue as they had done a number of events there. We could not be more surprised or pleased with what came out of the meeting. Tim (the Groom) and I were looking for Photography, DJ, Uplighting and a PhotoBooth. We met with Dawn and Bill and were immediately drawn to them. Our first meeting lasted over 2 hours (and that was before we even signed a contract). Both Tim and I can be rather verbose, but after a little bit, it was like we were talking to old friends. We signed a contract for 6 hours of photography with Dawn and an assistant, as well as Bill and an assistant to be our DJ. They would also bring uplighting, pipe and drape for the ceremony, and a photobooth at our request! We met with Bill and Dawn again about 1 month prior to the wedding to go through song requests, and photo requests. This meeting was like hanging out with friends again, and it was so much fun. Tim and I couldn’t decide on some of our spotlight dance songs, and Bill had pulled together suggestions that fit both our tastes and our personalities. The day of the wedding-Dawn took time to talk to all the kids in my family and try to connect with them so that she could get good shots as well as making grandma laugh. Shivohn went to take care of groom shots, while Dawn stayed with me and my family. Meanwhile, Bill and Andrew were busy setting up our ceremony, including the backdrop in the reception room as well as the DJ booth in the back. Trevor was our photobooth master. Our reception was top notch fun. Bill really got the crowd dancing. Our reception went by so fast, but there was a moment that my husband walked up to Bill and said that there was a newer song that he wanted to hear so that he could dance with me. Bill found it, giving Tim and I an impromptu emotional moment with all our friends. I am counting down the days to see the photos. We received one “teaser” photo (AMAZING) and I can’t wait to see the rest! THANK YOU DAWN, BILL, and TEAM!

    We really enjoyed our engagement photo session with Dawn! She gave us a lot of helpful information in advance to help us prepare for the photo shoot. She had so many great ideas for shots and had such a fun and positive attitude! We loved how our engagement pictures turned out and can't wait to see the wedding pictures!

    Dawn was an excellent wedding photographer! She gave us so many great images after the wedding, and was fun and professional to work with before and during the wedding! She captured the many moments that were important to us in stunning photographs. We were also thrilled to work with Bill as our DJ for the reception! He was an excellent entertainer and played music that we loved! Our guests are still talking about what a wonderful dance party it was! Sound City also provided the uplighting, which really helped transform the ballroom. We also enjoyed the limousine service as part of our package! We can't wait to see our wedding video once it's ready!. We are very happy that we chose Sound City and would highly recommend all of their services - especially photography and DJ!!

    Sound City was great at our wedding. So professional and responsive to all emails and had every detail down to a science the day of. They provided music during our cocktail hour and our reception, and my the end of the night EVERYONE's shoes were off and people were dancing like crazy! Two of my friends recommended Sound City to us and I would recommend them to everyone else.

    We booked Sound City for both photography and DJ for our October 2015 wedding. Dawn was our photographer - we haven't received the wedding pictures back yet, but we previously did an engagement photo shoot with Dawn, and the pictures from that were great. So I know the wedding ones will be, too! We also ordered an album of our engagement pictures, which turned out lovely. Dawn kept all the group photos moving quickly on the day of the wedding, so we didn't have to spend hours standing and posing for pictures. We got comments from our guests saying that she seemed great, as well. We also had Clinton from Sound City as our DJ. He was great! We got so many comments from guests saying that he was charismatic, kept up a good energy in the room, and kept things moving at a good pace. We didn't get a chance to meet Clinton beforehand, so we were just trusting Bill & Dawn and the other great reviews we read online - and it worked out great! No need to worry!
    I was very impressed with the amount of time Bill and Dawn spent with us when we met at their office a few times. We had to come in the evenings, after work, and they stayed and talked with us for hours. They were very organized, and made sure both they and we had all the info needed up front, to make the wedding day go smoothly!

    I was fortunate enough to go with my daughter and son in law to the appointment to meet Dawn & Bill at Sound City Entertainment. They answered every question, were extremely easy to talk to, never pushing to make a sale. Needless to say, we knew as we left they would be the ones to hire for the wedding and we are grateful that we did. They did the lights, Dj, photo booth and photography. The day was perfect, these are professionals that do an amazing job!! Everyone had a great time, music was awesome, photo booth was a hit and the photos are absolutely beautiful. Can't thank them enough for making my daughter and son in law's day worry free and just perfect .

    Amazing! I was so impressed with Bill- his professionalism, knowledge, and execution of putting on a great night! We met with Bill about a month before the wedding and he spent 90 minutes with us, asking us songs we wanted for different parts of the night. Of course, my fiance and i were not as prepared as we should have been, but Bill was! He had so many different options of songs to play on the spot for us at the meeting to help determine our father/daughter dance, intro songs, cake cutting songs, etc.
    When it came to the actual night 6/20/15---Thank God for Bill! He kept the night organized. My wedding coordinator was not really around, but Bill made SURE i got to all the things i wanted to do. He had someone track me down to do my cake cutting, he had someone find me to do the bouquet toss. He kept the night so organized.....So he didn't just play music, he was instrumental in keeping things on track! Lastly, not only was the music great, but we all know if people aren't moving and dancing then its not a good party! BIll made SURE to get people on the dancefloor by playing a few games earlier in the night. Simple things to get everyone involved and get everyone on the dancefloor. People LOVED it! I can honestly say I've been to 20 weddings in the past 3 years and i Truly think Bill was the best. He was an entertainer, not just a DJ!

    Sound City Entertainment not only helped make my wedding a night to remember but assured me that everything would turn out exactly the way I imagined it and they were right! The DJs took charge of everything (communication between photographer, wedding planner, food servers & guests) making sure everyone was on the same page throughout the night. Before the toasts, parent dances, and cake cutting they made sure everyone was in the room so no one would miss out on the important parts of the night. I would definitely recommend Sound City Entertainment for any and all events and I promise you will not be disappointed.

    We used Sound City Entertainment for our DJ, Uplighting and Photography for our wedding held on 10/17/14. We chose them based on the reviews we read on the knot.com and we are so fortunate that we did. Bill (DJ) was amazing! We pretty much left our music selection up to him and he killed it! We have been married for over a week now and everyone we have talked to is still talking about how much fun they had at the wedding and how much they loved the music and DJ. Dawn & Siobhan were our photographers and they were outstanding!! Our wedding party LOVED them both and felt extremely comfortable with them. Dawn took the time to get to know us and our wedding party which made things so much easier. Dawn also kept my wife and I extremely calm. We seriously didn't have to worry about a THING!! We highly recommend Sound City, they take great pride in what they do!!

    I can't say enough good things about Sound City! We had Dawn as our photographer for our wedding in September 2014. I initially fell in love with Dawn when I saw her work at a bridal show recently after getting engaged. I immediately knew I wanted to work with her. She makes you feel extremely comfortable and becomes a part of your family for your big day! Everything I requested for pictures was captured. We also did our limo service through them and unfortunately our limo broke down 30 minutes before the ceremony was suppose to start. Dawn kept me calm the whole time and before I could start to panic a new limo was on the way!! She distracted me by taking a few more pictures while we waited! Siobhan (I hope I am spelling right) who was Dawn's assistant was also amazing! She was with the guys at the church and they loved working with her! I would highly recommend Dawn and her team at Sound City! The pictures are so worth the wait and you won't be disappointed!

    I can't say enough about how professional and amazing Sound City Entertainment was at our wedding. Bill was a pleasure and down-to-earth person to work with from day one. As soon as we walked into his office to meet with him, we knew that he was going to do an exceptional job at our wedding. There was no pressure to sign any contracts on that first meeting, which for us sealed the deal. Bill was accommodating to our ideas and had fantastic ideas of his own. He kept our friends and family dancing the whole night, and I can't even express how many compliments we received about our DJ that night! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, and keeping our wedding fun and stress-free - how it's supposed to be! I can't recommend Sound City Entertainment enough! They also provided our photobooth that night, and the guy running that was smiling the whole night and extremely friendly. Thank you again!!

    To anyone looking for entertainment services, STOP HERE! Bill and Dawn DiOrio of SoundCity Entertainment are all you need!!
    As busy professionals, the idea of having multiple services at one place was intriguing and Dawn and Bill delivered perfection. From our initial meeting, we knew that we were in good hands. Dawn and Bill took the time to get to know us, our wedding, our crazy family dynamics and our style. They were respectful of our needs and wishes, but offered great advice in all aspects of the wedding and were helpful from start to finish.
    We had our engagement session with Dawn in the fall and she took the time on a very windy day to make sure she got the best photos of us. She laughed with us and really became a friend through the process.
    As we got closer to our big day, Bill and Dawn reached out to discuss details, and they helped us think of things we had never thought of! When the big arrived, we knew we had nothing to worry about, that Dawn and Bill and their team would work to make our day run smoothly and they were awesome! Our guests continue to talk about how much fun they had the night of our wedding and it was 3 months ago. The music was great, the timing of everything was awesome. We had some special acknowledgments during the night and they helped us honor the important people in our lives.
    When getting ready, Dawn was a huge help and took the time to get pictures of everything! We could not be more thrilled with the proofs we have received. She was able to capture the love of the day, the joy in all of our guests, the importance of the ceremony, and craziness that is our family and friends. She made a great connection to our bridal party and we had a lot of fun together taking pictures.
    They are reasonably priced, flexible, and easy to work with. We couldn't have asked for better people to help us make our day perfect.
    Happy Planning!

    ~Paula and Will

    Where to even begin! Dawn and Bill and the rest of the staff are amazing! They made our wedding day the best day of our lives and one we will never forget. I am sure the pictures taken by Dawn will be absolutely stunning. Bill was an amazing Dj keeping the dancing going all night! All of our guests loved the photo booth and have told us that it was "the best wedding they have ever been to."

    Thank you Dawn and Bill for everything!!

    We would highly recommend Sound City to anyone looking to get married and in search of a Dj, photographer, videographer, photo booth, up lighting and limo. They do it all and they do it with excellence! I was told that I was a very calm bride and it because I took one fell swoop and planned everything through Sound City and was so confident that everything would be great that I did not need to worry for one second!

    Caity & Kyle

    Hi,

    I recently hired Sound City Entertainment for our wedding. I used their DJ, Photographer and Video Services. They came highly recommended by the venue where I had my wedding. This is a tough choice for any couple (bride) as you don't know for sure what you are getting until your big day and it's not something you can do a trial run for as is the case with hair and make-up for the bride.

    With that said, I can't even begin to express how much I enjoyed working with Bill, Dawn & Team. I am a very detailed person, with lists and schedules. Sound City was the perfect match for me. Giving up control does not come easy, however, I found myself telling everyone throughout my wedding day, do whatever Dawn says. They are that good!

    Sound City took every idea I had expressed and executed better than I had imagined it.

    I walked in to meet them a nervous bride and walked away feeling like my wedding was just handled by two very close friends.

    A million thank you's!!!

    Norma & Shaun
