    Clutch. Creative. Comprehensive.

    Tim, Samantha, and the team at Absolute Light have personalized our organization's annual formal event for several years, and they somehow find a way to make it better and better for us, every year. They are not just DJs, they are ambiance creators. I don't think there is anything they can't do with regard to video, lighting, sound, and customization for an event. "Clutch" is also an adequate description of how well they (especially Samantha) can think quickly on their feet. She fixed a technical issue that originated on my organization's side, and she was able to work with me to redo an entire program during the dinner hour. The program after dinner then went off flawlessly.

    Provided both outdoor and indoor music

    Tim and Emily did a great job at my daughter's reception. They set up at Davis Lodge for the outdoor ceremony and then set up at Destihl for the reception. Tim was very professional when we did a zoom meeting a few weeks before the wedding. I recommend him and his team.

    Knocked It Out of the Park

    Tim and the team at Absolute came highly recommended and they did not disappoint! Their preparation and attention to detail were top notch and it really showed in the execution of the evening. It was a flawless, fun night and we can't say thanks enough!

    Tim from Absolute Light and Sound was AMAZING to work with! He got every detail correct and I did not have ANY worries when my wedding day. They did our ceremony music (we had our ceremony outdoors) AND they also did our reception music as well. Both parts of our wedding day went off without a hitch! Our DJ, Buck, was excellent and was a great host who kept the night moving. I wouldn't have changed a THING about our wedding day. Absolute Light and Sound took great care of us and our special day! I highly recommend!

    I recommend anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding to use Absolute Light and Sound. I can't tell you how many people came up to my NEW wife and myself to tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to. Without a doubt, the DJing by the manager himself, Tim Taflinger, played a huge roll in the success of the wedding celebration. The dance floor NEVER cleared! The music he played was PERFECT for the crowd. We met with Tim two weeks before the wedding to go over the music, entrances, and schedule of events at the reception and he followed everything perfectly!! Like I said, I STRONGLY recommend using Absolute Light and Sound for your DJ services! We also used their Photo booth service which was fun, but it did not work for a short period of time. Because of that, Tim reimbursed us the money for the photo booth. Great business!

    My daughter got married on May 16, 2015. Absolute Light & Sound handled all of the uplighting, the gobo and the dj service. It was absolutely second to none. They are true professionals. They made the room looked fantastic, the lighting completely transformed the room. The DJ, Buck Stevens, kept everything spot on with timing on all of the toasts, cutting the cake, first dances. It could not have been a better reception. They truly care about the bride and the families and made it the best experience possible. Absolute Light & Sound is second to none! Let them help plan your next reception....they are the BEST!

    These guys were amazing! The music was great everyone was dancing and having a good time.. The flow of the night was perfect! I had so many complements on them and people asking for their weddings... They even met with us before hand and helped us pick out some of the more important songs of the night that we were stuck on! Highly recommend!!

    My husband and I got married in October and went with a "fall" theme, and showed him pictures of our what we were thinking and Tim mirrored it perfectly. The uplighting in the hotel ballroom was amazing, and far exceeding my expectations! Tim responded to my questions in a timely manner, and was great to work with. Buck Stevens was our DJ, and did a great job with the music, and getting people on the dance floor. I would highly recommend Buck if he is available! Thank you AL&S, you made our wedding reception perfect! Mr. & Mrs. Brian Lang

    We found Absolute Light and Sound through referral. And when we met with Tim the first time, it was a wonderful experience. He completely put us at ease about what will be taking place during our big day!! And the actual event was phenomenal. We literally had 70% of our guests still on the dance floor when the reception ended. Definitely 5 stars!

    AMAZING! I am still getting compliments from my guests about how great the DJ was. He kept our guests dancing until the very end. He basically organized the entire night, from the grand entrance to cutting the cake to the food being released. He kept it timely and fun. He played songs for every age group, and I have never seen so many people on a dance floor at a wedding. My bridesmaids have already decided they are going to hire him for their weddings someday! :)

    Tim was awesome! I sent multiple emails from the first meeting to the night before the wedding and Tim was able to answer them in a timely manner. He was able to work with my husband and I to add some extra special dances to make the night ours. Tim was able to play music that please everyone of all ages and he kept people on the dance floor. I'm still being told how much fun people had on the dance floor. I would recommend Absolute Light and Sound to anyone that has a wedding or any other event coming up.
    Thank you a million time more!!!

    My husband and I were recently married this past weekend. Absolute Light and Sound was amazing to work with from beginning to end. Tim made our meetings very smooth and answered every single question we had. He was always available via phone and email and we communicated with him often with questions and just to make sure we were on track to have a successful wedding reception. I had heard great things about this company but we were amazed by how great the DJs were at the reception. From the moment we walked in the doors to the moment we left, they were fantastic. They went above and beyond to make sure our guests had the best night they could. Our DJs made the party come to life. They were able to get our crowd involved in the whole experience. Our DJs even made it a point to tell us how much fun they had watching our guests enjoy themselves and our guests told us how great Absolute Light and Sound was. This staff really enjoys what they do for a living and they take pride in making sure you have a perfect wedding night. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a DJ service!!! - Mr and Mrs Helgeson

    Absolute Light and Sound did my wedding ceremony and reception about a week and a half ago and they made music and lighting the easiest part of planning my wedding! They were very organized in setting everything up and directing my wedding from the time I walked down the aisle to the last song of the reception. They also did uplighting for my reception and it looked AMAZING! It completely changed the look of a drab hotel conference room and I love the way it looks in my photographs! I consider it a must as part of your decorations! Very professional, energetic staff and affordable!!

    Absolute Light & Sound provided the ceremony music and DJ service for my daughter's wedding on October 12, 2013. Tim the owner was wonderful! He always was available by phone and the two times my daughter and I meet with him he was very pleasant to work with and helped us with our choices of music and songs when we needed it. Chuck was are DJ and Christine that night and they were awesome. Everyone there commented on a great job they did and how they kept things going!!! I would highly recommend AL&S to anyone without any hesitations. Great job AL&S. Thank you very much! Sue Friedrich

    My husband and I have always heard that Absolute Light & Sound is by far the best company around to work with for your big day, and of course when we were finally able to work with them for ours they were amazing! From the uplighting, to the introductions at the beginning, to running the music, and just being really easy and fun to work with, we DEFINITELY recommend Absolute Light and Sound for your wedding! They are very accomodating and made sure they worked with both my husband and I to determine exactly how we wanted out reception to go and made sure nothing got in the way of that. We all had a blast, and they were a HUGE part of that. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, thank you Absolute Light and Sound!!

    My daughters wedding was last Saturday, AL&S was our DJ service, Buck Stevens was the DJ assisted by his wife. They were awesome, our reception was a huge success thanks to them. Lots of dancing & Great music, he ran the whole show from the moment we got there so that we were able to enjoy the evening. I would totally recommend them to everyone. He even went as far as to step outside to let our smokers know when events (introducing the wedding party, the father daughter dance, etc) were about to happen. They were the best and I can't thank them enough. Also, Tim was who we met with the week before to iron things out. I was nervous about the reception when I went to his home, but when I left after meeting with him it was such a relief to know they would be handling the evening for us and he was so helpful in helping us make music decisions. Many many thanks to them!!!!!!!!!

    Absolute Light & Sound was amazing! Tim was great to work with. He always responded to phone calls, and went the extra mile to make sure the whole evening was perfect! I wanted to surprise my husband with singing a song at the reception. Tim let me come out to his house to practice in his garage the week prior to the wedding and then recorded a CD for me! The night of the reception the surprise ended up turning out perfect!:) Tim was very organized, friendly, funny, and had the dance floor crowded the entire night! I had many compliments the night of the wedding on the DJ stating that he was one of the best DJ's they had ever heard! Tim was a major part of making our wedding reception a huge success!

    Tim was absolutely fantastic! He was way more than a DJ. He was the MC for the entire reception, he provided much-needed up-lighting for the venue, he helped coordinate everybody, and he made the ceremony perfect with microphones for the officiants and beautiful music. He was extremely helpful and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Great work at an unbeatable price!

    Tim was great to work with and always responed quickly to all of my emails I sent to him. We went a week before the wedding and went through the music and the order of the events that was going to happen and even at the reception they had a card they give you so you can follow also. The Dj's that we had were Billy and Jen and they were great. They kept the dance floor filled all night and honor all request that we asked them to play. They made the night very memorable and would recommend them to any future bride and groom. All the guest even was raving on how great the DJ was.

    I absolutely loved my experience with absolute light & sound. They provided the music for my ceremony and reception and it was perfect. They give you a packet to fill out that guides you through the whole process of picking out music so I knew I wasn't forgetting about anything. At the end of the night we actually decided to add an extra hour of service because people were still having fun and they did it without problem! They are SUCH a good value for the service, too!

    Absolute Light and Sound were great to work with at our wedding! They honored all of our many musical requests and had all of the songs we wanted (which I was not expecting!). They kept the evening lively and engaged the crowd at our wedding. I don't know how they do it, but they are really good at getting people of all ages to fill the dance floor! They are also so experienced and organized- as soon as we arrived at the reception, I felt a sense of relief because we were guided through the entire evening. We saw them last summer at a friend's wedding and had the same experience. We would recommend them as a DJ to anyone!
