About Us

 

We pride ourselves on our level of service.  We will work with you every step of the way to make your reception one your guests will remember for years to come.  From our online planner and music library, to our one on one consultations, to working behind the scenes at your reception, we make the process simple and convenient for you and ensure the event will go as smoothly as possible.

As DJs, we wear many hats.  We are more than just the music.  We are the MC who will make all the introductions and announcements throughout the night.  We are also "Event Directors"  who will guide the flow of your reception fom start to finish(not to be confused with a Wedding co-ordinator.)  On top of all this, we are sound engineers and lighting technitions.  All these skills are necessary for a flawless reception built to your specifications.

We work hard to NOT to fit into the "Cheezy Wedding DJ" stereotype.  Sound Of The Times is not your average DJ Company.  We don't try to sell you our equipment.    We don't force up-sells or props on you at exhorbitant prices.  What we will do is sit down with you in one of our one on one consultations and ask you a number of questions about your dream reception and get to know a little about you.  Once we have an idea of what you are truly looking for, we can create a custom taylored package based on your needs and budget.

 

 

Special Lighting options available:

Uplighting/Lightscaping

This is the hottest trend in special events today.  Up-lighting can completely transform your venue with strategically placed LED Par Cans around the room accenting various architectural features.  The look can be dramatic when done right and will truly give your reception that WOW factor that you are looking for.  Consider matching the lighting with your wedding colors.

Name In Lights

With our special GOBO Projector, we can project your Monogram or Names on the dance floor or above the head table.  This option makes for amazing photos and will have your guests talking about it all night long.

Dancing under the stars

With a special laser projector, we can create a galaxy of stars on the ceiling of your venue combined with a nebula projection.  This creates the feel of being beneath the night sky and adds a elegant ambiance to the dance floor during the first dance.

We hired Gene Neri for our wedding through The Wedding Studio. For what we needed Gene was just right for our budget. He has an endless list of music choices & if he doens't have it available he will get it for you. When meeting with him, he has a nice and laid back attitude. He didn't try to put it in our face, as did other DJs, that he was the best and/or try to impress us with his high tech equipment. We told him about the crowd we were having and what type of style we were looking for to be played during cocktail hour and dinner. His answer was, "I got this!"

Communicating with him was great, he always got back to us in a very timely manor when we had questions. My husband and I did not have enough time to really sit and go through music choices during our planning. My husband was diagnosed with cancer just 6 weeks before we were to say "I do". I told Gene that we were sorry about not giving him many music choices and that we were giving him complete faith in him because this is what he does. Made just a few minor request and they were ALL met!!!! Put your faith in this man!!! He had the dance floor going all night. Our friends said the next day they were hurting from all the dancing. He takes request, but makes sure they will not kill your mood of fun. I would highly recommend Gene. His professionalism is outstanding and was polite to all of our guest. Two thumbs up for Gene!!! He ROCKS!

I loved working with this couple. They just wanted to have fun. They gave me a few ideas of what they wanted and let me take control. They all had a great time and the dance floor was packed until the very last song of the night.
 


Your wedding reception is always in good hands with Sound Of The Times!
