    Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Will work with Evan again!

    We had the most fantastic experience working with Evan for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah. He made everything easy and manageable from a planning stage and once the party started handled EVERYTHING to keep the party moving and the kids (and adults honestly!) entertained and dancing/singing/enjoying. Most of the kids (and adults!) danced and sang and played until literally the last note of the last song and the lights came back on. Evan went above and beyond and we look forward to working with him again! - Honestly - I would recommend him for any event!

    We loved our DJ!

    We used Evan from Island sound and we could not have asked for a warmer human to help us. Evan set the tone wonderfully and gave us everything we asked for as far as our requests, and was very flexible and easy going day of- which is what this stressed out bride needed. Thank you Evan!

    The Perfect DJ experience for our Bar Mitzvah

    Evan from Island Sound was perfect for our bar mitzvah celebration. He took lots of pride and time in crafting the right evening for us. He was also open to allowing us to choose the music and the games for the evening, which meant a lot to us. You could tell he really cared about our event, and he ran it like a professional. Our guests of all ages had a wonderful time. I have gotten lots of feedback from my guests on how great he was, and how he really added to the experience of the celebration. Of all of the expenses for the weekend, I felt he was well worth the price. High marks!

    Dj evan is the literal best!

    Island Sound is an amazing value for the price. They are attentive and responsive. Our Dj, Dj Evan was personable and warm. He made sure that my day went well. He was willing to setep in when our Day of Coordinator had an unforseen emergency. Dj Evan has a great catalogue of songs. The Online forms allow you wo create the ultimate playlist for your wedding. Dj Evan made sure that each transition was seamless and organic. I would highly reccommend Island Sound!

    Evan was incredible at my wedding!

    Evan at Island Sound and Video was incredible at my wedding, he had great timing and was amazing at improvising. I had a meeting with Evan about 2 weeks before the wedding to solidify plans and music wants, I had been building a playlist with my now husband for over a year and he was down for all of it.
    I had set up the timeline in their portal prior and it helped things go smoothly and made sure all of our wedding wants were clear!

    During the wedding the song order was great, we gave Evan free reign over song order for all of the events. I heard some of it from afar during our photography session and I loved the order he chose. I had so much fun during dancing, I didn't want to stop, even though I was exhausted!!
    Overall, we couldn't have gotten a better DJ for our wedding, both in skill and knowledge. Evan is just a great person overall as well!!!

    Had DJ Evan as our wedding DJ

    We found Island Sound very professional and easy to work with. We were put in touch with DJ Evan a couple weeks before our event and he was a treat to work with. He was efficient during the preparations, showed up early to ensure proper setup, and delivered a perfect DJ performance for our wedding. Our guests even made a point to tell us after the reception that they loved DJ Evan. We couldn't be happier with our experience and will recommend him and Island Sound to everyone we know!

    Evan created an incredible party experience for ages 2-90! We all had a blast. Games song selection and prizes galore. Would recommend him to anyone wanting a fun party for all ages

    We had multiple phone conversations to go over the flow of the party song, selection and room layout. Evan brought his A game to all pre party phone conversations and we were more than impressed by his professionalism and dedication to our party.

    Friendly and professional

    Evan was seriously so great! He played music that went with the overall theme my daughter wanted and he was great at engaging the crowd. He made things so much fun and all the kids loved him. Will absolutely be using Evan in the future.

    Absolutely Highly Recommend!!!

    Communication was fast and Evan followed up with us periodically as the date got closer to make sure everything was taken care of. It was a phenomenal experience which made the planning of my daughter's Bat-Mitzvah go off without a hitch! Evan's song selection kept the kids dancing and entertained and he has a real way to get them engaged and having a great time! All while keeping the playlist entertaining for the adults as well. And unlike another DJ we had for my wedding years ago, Evan knew exactly the right balance of the proper amount of "The Hora" that should be played and more importantly when it should END!...lol

    I absolutely recommend and WILL be using Evan's services again in a few years when my youngest steps up to the Torah!

    Island Sound DJ

    Evan was the DJ for my wedding, and let me start by saying his energy was infectious. He did an outstanding job all night. He kept our dance floor moving and made the night fun for all ages. We wanted to have games throughout the night and did gift give aways from presents under a tree for our Christmas wedding, and Evan made everything flow perfectly so there was never a dull moment. He was very professional and detail oriented. We had multiple compliments on our amazing DJ! Everyone I interacted with at Island Sound was fantastic, and I would not hesitate to use them, specifically Evan, for events in the future.

    Phenomenal DJ Experience!!!

    Island Sound is your place to go for all your DJ needs. From our initial contact, they have been very professional, excellent with communication with the owner and DJ, and they work with you to create a package that suits your needs.
    Evan C. is an amazing DJ. - he met with us before our event and became familiar with ours & our son's vision for his Bar Mitzvah party. Evan offered us lots of great advice and his input/suggestions helped to shape our celebration into an outrageously amazing time! Evan worked with us to create the perfect playlist, was absolutely phenomenal in keeping ALL the kids engaged with cool games (some even included the adults too!) with lots of giveaways, and his personality is just perfect for a fantastically fun DJ - he loves his job and it most certainly shows!!! Our family and friends are still raving about what a fantastic time they all had!
    I very highly recommend Evan & Island Sound for your party needs. He and the company are just AWESOME! Thanks for making our son's celebration the absolute BEST!!!

    Great to work with and really got our musical taste

    Frankie from Island Sound was a pleasure to work with. He met with us several times to understand our musical taste and really delivered at our reception. He played songs I loved that I hadn't even put on the list! They have a great online tool for choosing the music for all the important moments. Very professional from start to finish.

    Evan was absolutely amazing!!

    We got married in October and didn't initially have any solid plans for what we wanted our DJ/MC to do. Evan was super helpful and had excellent communication throughout the whole planning process. On the day of, he kept everything running smoothly and the party going! Our guests raved about his energy and willingness to get on the dance floor to instruct the line dances. We strongly recommend Evan and Island Sound

    Amazing dj!

    Island Sound did an amazing job at our wedding. Frankie was so nice and professional and fun! He executed everything perfectly the day of the wedding and everyone had an absolute blast. He honored all the music we really wanted played and made some incredible selections of his own. Honestly, having a good DJ is one of the most important elements of a wedding to make it a blast and Frankie + Island Sound really made our night. Most fun night I've ever had.

    Excellent DJ Service

    Had a fantastic experience with Island Sound and Video. Worked with Frankie Hagan who was extremely helpful in assisting us plan and coordinate all the auditory details for our event.
    Having not planned a wedding before there were many details we hadn't thought about or realized needed to have a song added or a choice made-- Frankie provided insightful guidance into how the flow of weddings go and walked us through all the nuances so that we could both customize the music choices to the things we liked but also have a broader selection of songs to engage attendees from all generations. And outside of specifically chosen songs, Frankie was able to take our most vague or obscure musical preferences, find unique songs from those genres/sources, and then skillfully blend them into some of your more typical wedding music, creating an atmosphere that felt both personal to us while also being appropriate for the mood/tone of the moment.
    Throughout the process, Frankie was prompt, professional, and very easy to work with. We are very glad we chose him and Island Sound and Video as the DJ service for our special day.

    Great Team!

    We had Peter and Rohit come and DJ our wedding. They were prompt and ready to setup at the time they said they would be there. They provided our officiant with a lapel mic and had speakers set up in the cocktail hour location as well as the reception. Their online planning tools make it extremely easy to communicate our song choices with them. We gave them liberty to pick songs they knew would get the guests and party going and they did just that! We also got uplighting from them and they worked with us to create a specific color that was perfect to math our wedding colors. They were wonderful DJ's and I highly recommend them for you wedding or event!

    Made it Happen!

    Island Sound, especially Nate, was amazing! Wedding vendors and brides alike both had an extremely challenging year in 2020. As a #CovidBride I'm extremely thankful for people like Island Sound who were flexible, supportive and professional the entire way through. At one point I thought we were going to have to cancel the ceremony, however we reduced our attendance and went ahead with the big day a few months later!

    After having to reschedule our wedding 4 times during COVID I made the mistake of not updating all my vendors on the new date at the end of July. Island Sound was one of them! The day of the wedding I realized the mistake and Nate went above and beyond to ensure I still had a DJ. Vendors like this deserve massive applause! Thank you Nate - you made the night!!

    Very Happy Clients

    We hired Island Sound to provide video for our daughter’s wedding on the recommendation of our photographer, and we couldn’t be more pleased. The quality of the video is excellent and the highlight video is a thing to treasure and share. Our own wedding video from almost 30 years ago was terrible and some of the footage lost by the videographer, so it is wonderful that our daughter has this amazing memory to enjoy again and again. Us too! Communication was good and turn around time was faster than we expected. Many thanks to Island Sound.

    Look no further than Evan Carmusin!

    I can not even begin to rate Evan and Island Sound highly enough. Evan was easily one of the most responsive vendors I worked with through the entire process. He was not only supportive of all of our ideas, but he had some amazing contributions himself. The entire show went off without a hitch, which is not surprising considering Evan's background in theater. We did a singing number for our 'first dance' and he was patient with us through 45 minutes of soundcheck before everything began. He will make you feel comfortable and is not shy about expressing his excitement for your special day. He bonded with not only us, but with our family members too! Do yourself a favor and book him (along with the Magic Mirror Photo Booth) as soon as you can!

    Outstanding

    We had DJ Evan on the mic and he was absolutely great! He catered to every single one of our needs and more. He made the wedding so much. He made the initial set up and visit super easy and helped us pick songs for every moment. He was even able to coordinate playing a song for my sister's maid of honor speech while she is living in London. We will definitely use Evan again for any future needs.

    Fantastic!!!

    Evan was just absolutely amazing - from being attentive from the first meeting to helping us break it down on the dance floor at our wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He made the experience stress-free and so much fun!

    Best DJ ever

    When we met with Evan I knew he was going to help us throw a great party! He even lead everyone in some of the group dances! He’s a super guy and knows how to throw a good party! We had an international mix of people and he played songs from several musical/ dance traditions!

    Island Sound and Frankie were an absolute pleasure to work with. Frankie really took time to understand what we wanted our wedding theme and night to be like and he went above and beyond that! Frankie was fun, outgoing, and professional. We will highly recommend Island Sound and Frankie to anyone!

    DJ Frankie of Island Sound Needs to be Your DJ

    DJ Frankie of Island Sound is the best DJ around. We had a large wedding (200+ guests) and DJ Frankie orchestrated everything seamlessly. The dinner was relaxed and classy, toasts and introductions were smoothly handled, and the dancing portion of the evening was an absolute rager. In fact, I don't think the dancing ever stopped. People loved it and, months later, continue to comment on how great the music was and "what a fun party" we had. He blended so many types of music so well and everyone had a great time. DJ Frankie took the time to speak with us over the phone and email about what we wanted and what we did not want, and stuck to that. He was very communicative and responsive. He will create the environment you want with ease. Our DJ service also included a photo booth "magic mirror" which was the most fun photo booth I've ever seen. Props were amazing and hilarious. I would highly recommend him not just for weddings, but any event.

    DJ Frankie is amazing!

    Frankie from Island Sound and Video was the DJ for my wedding. A friend recommended him and he was awesome! We communicated primarily through email and actually only met once in person a few weeks before the wedding day. (We had used another DJ from the company previously, so I knew they'd do a good job) Frankie was quick to respond, is very nice, and really knows how to keep people on the dance floor! After an enthusiastic guest scared others away with an attempted group choreography, Frankie knew exactly what song to play to get everyone back on the dance floor. He was very accommodating with song requests from me and my husband leading up to the wedding, and worked with us to edit our first dance song. We wanted a chunk removed from the middle and it was done flawlessly! He is very knowledgeable about how to get the best flow for your event and made some recommendations on things I hadn't even thought about - a song for the cake cutting? An anniversary dance? Who knew! The music and dancing was an essential part of the day for me, and Frankie delivered! Everyone was on the dance floor all night and commented afterwards on how great the music was. It was a blast!

    DJ Frankie and his team did an awesome job on our wedding ceremony and reception. We loved the music, lighting, DJ and of course, the photobooth. They are professional and made sure that things are organized and done as planned. The guests all had a great time and thought the photobooth was cool! We highly recommend this company especially DJ Frankie!

    Evan was great!

    Evan was our DJ for the night. He did the music for the ceremony and our reception. He was great working with. Understood our unique vision and played all the music we asked for. Everything went perfectly and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He even got out there on the dance floor and taught moves so that people would get up and dance. He was the best and I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ experience.

    RAVE Reviews for KYLE !!

    On very short notice we contracted with Island Sound & Video for my daughter's wedding. Our DJ, Kyle was a true professional. The dance floor was always full. He expertly choreographed the entire evening from introductions to send-off. The price was reasonable and well worth it.

    Our DJ for our wedding was Frankie Haagan and he did a FANTASTIC job! Our guests had the absolute, BEST time at our wedding and did not leave the dance floor! Frankie was so kind and made sure that everyone was enjoying themselves! He had a great sense of humor when he did speak, but let the music do most of the work! I would HIGHLY suggest using Frankie Haagan with Island Sound!!!!

    My husband and I were skeptical to hiring a DJ for our wedding because we didnt want the cookie cutter DJ experience (somewhat like a prom) but when I met with Evan, I decided to take a risk and go for it. And what a reward it was! Evan was incredible and everyone raved about how professional he was and the song selection was spot on. If you need a DJ who genuinely wants to make your big day everything youve ever imagined, and also as stress free as possible, Evan is your guy!

We are so thankful for everything he did to make our wedding night perfect!!!

    Thank you again!

    Island Sound was originally contracted as our sound technician, with no DJ/MC services. We had planned on creating our own Spotify playlists, relying on a family friend to handle MC duties, and have Island Sound play the music we selected. Three weeks before the wedding our family friend backed out and we were left with no one to make any announcements. We reached out to Island Sound and that same afternoon we had a conference call and they sent over a revised quote for the additional services. They were warm, so understanding, and incredibly professional! During our wedding we made impromptu timeline changes, but the music never faulted- they were able to read the room, anticipate our needs, and keep a low profile as we requested. They were amazing and I recommend them for any person looking for flawless music at their special event!

    We worked with Island Sound for our wedding, with Frankie in particular as our DJ. Frankie was perfect, and made our day better than we could have imagined! I didn't think I'd ever hear myself say we we're glad we didn't go with live music, but here I am! Anytime there was uncertainty, he came to us with questions and adjusted his music choices to keep people dancing and having fun all night. Everything was done professionally and promptly with very little direction from us, which is exactly what we needed. We would highly recommend Island Sound, and Frankie personally, for other events.

    I hardly ever write a review but I had to in this case. We have married both our daughters and both times we used Island Sound Dj's & Video and both times were without exception a seemless wonderful experience. The main reason was the Dj who's name is Frankie Hagan. He has become like family to us because of how he treated us and our daughters through the process. He has two daughters of his own and you can tell he treats every wedding as if he was doing his own daughters events. He is easy to work with and runs a tight ship. He is a true professional in his craft and takes pride in himself as a presenter and how he runs his event. If I had more than two thumbs I would give him more than two thumbs up. In this day and age where it's tough to find quality folks who take their jobs seriously, you have to spread the word when you find someone who really cares and Frankie does. I had told Frankie if I had any more children he would have done everyone of their weddings. We also needed the day of the wedding a wireless headset for our Pastor that we had forgotten. I called the morning of and they made it happen. Thank you again Frankie for making the day perfect. You are two for two!! The price was reasonable and well worth it. I would have paid more.
    Sincerely,
    Sid and Kristin Graham (919) 247-7730

    I would consider myself a very "difficult" bride, and Frankie (as well as the Island Sound team) caught every single curve ball I threw their way. Frankie made planning and decisions extremely easy for us. He needed very little direction (even though I tried to give him more than he needed), and made everything happen exactly how I planned and envisioned. He hit the nail on the head with music selection, reception progress, and the overall timeline of the night. We love these guys!!!!!!

    We booked Frankie for our wedding and could not have been happier! Frankie was punctual and extremely accommodating when we had to change some things around last minute. He was the right mix of professional and fun. I was really pleased with him and his ability to capture our music style.

    Frankie was one of my easiest vendors to work with. I also had several of my guests tell me that the music selection was by far the best they ever heard at a wedding, Everyone was very complimentary of him, his energy level and his ability to read the crowd. I would recommend or rehire Frankie again in an instant. Extremely pleased with his services!

    We had the pleasure of DJ Frankie Hagan doing the music for our wedding. The ambiance he created was perfect every stage of the evening. We were married in the midst of a snow and ice storm, but Frankie showed up on time and with his great personality to destress everyone. He perfected the dinner music my fiance was so picky about, and then had us dancing all night. His pacing and MCing skills are evidence he is a true professional, and set a great tone for our wedding. Island Sound was a great company to work with, responsive, dependable, and very fairly priced. I would highly recommend them and book Frankie as your DJ!

    Get a feel for your DJ. Ben and I both realized that their services can make of break a reception party. Make sure that you mesh well with your Dj. For us Frankie was fantastic! His sense of humor is similar to ours he was able to keep a high energy all night that kept encouraging people to get on the dance floor and have a good time. Frankie was highly accommodating to our Military and veterans needs as well as some quick spur of the moment changes we threw his way. This company is fantastic, the lighting was amazing that they provided and our Photo Booth was the biggest hit of the night. I would recommend this team to anyone who was superb quality at an amazing price with an awesome team.

    From the initial meeting to the day of the wedding, Frankie Hagan and his staff had their stuff down and knew what we would like. Frankie talked with us at great length about music in general and put our minds at ease. He even shared some memorable stories from past weddings he’s done which further cemented our decision in hiring them. He knew exactly what to do to get our family and friends up on the dance floor, and his call to play “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” at the night’s peak is sure to go down in our family history book as one of the most epic spontaneous dances, ever. We would definitely recommend them for any special event.

    Frankie was WONderful!! Kept the party going - really encouraging. People danced all evening. We couldn't have asked for better. So many times you can understand what the DJ is saying, or it's not loud enough or it's too loud . . .it was perfect. Everyone told us how much they enjoyed the way people all participated and had such fun!! A BIG thanks to Frankie and Island Sound!!

    Island Sound provided our wedding with great variety of music for our reception. We left it very vague in our preference of music and Peter did a great job picking music that fit the ambiance of the reception. I was afraid guests would be too shy to on the dance floor, but the music choices always had people on the dance floor. We also used Island Sound for video and the finished product was a great reminder of our wedding day!

    Frankie Hagan was incredible to work with! He was so helpful to my husband and I in helping to create our reception timeline, so that the flow made the most sense. He offered up ideas for alternatives to many "traditions" that we chose to skip and said "absolutely" when I asked him if he would lead a couple of line dances during the course of the evening. After speaking with him at length, I knew that we were in great hands. So instead of giving him a huge playlist, we just told him the type of artists we like, that we wanted a wide range of music to appeal to all age groups and a few favorite songs we wanted to hear and we told him to run with it. He did not disappoint! Everyone is still telling me how much fun they had at our wedding and how wonderful the music was. Frankie is also wonderful at changing things up at the last minute if need be. I told him during our meeting that due to health reasons, my elderly father may or may not be at the wedding and so I wasn't sure if there would be a father/daughter dance. My father did make it to the wedding and was able to stay for most of it. Frankie not only picked the perfect music for us to dance to, but he knew to cut the song short because my father was getting too weak to continue. I'm so grateful for that beautiful memory with my dad. Thank you Frankie!!!!

    Fabulous! Frankie was the DJ for my daughter's recent wedding. From the cocktail hour, thru the dinner service, and on to the after-dinner dancing, Frankie kept everything right on schedule. The music was exactly what my daughter wanted. We also used them for up-lighting, which made an already beautiful room (The Garden on Millbrook), even more spectacular! Very professional. Perfect day!!

    We had originally planned to do our music DIY style but my MIL insisted we get a DJ. I'm really glad I listened to her and went with Island Sound and Frankie! He did such an AMAZING job on our wedding. He had so many ideas about how to make our night go smoothly and was so helpful in coming up with the timeline. He was a very calming presence as well, I always left feeling like this guy has got this under control and I have nothing to worry about! Come the week of the wedding it looked like it was going to rain on our day and we had a very tight timeline for set up and tear down. We had some set up time booked the day before and to make sure everything was perfect Frankie actually came out and did his set up and had his dance floor guy come early too! So the reception space was ready to go a day early and all he had to do day of was the ceremony space! Talk about above and beyond!! Frankie also was a point of contact for my other vendors so they knew when things were happening during the reception and as a bride without a coordinator that took a load off my mind! So overall, hire these guys! They are the BEST.

    I was so pleased with the DJ and videography services at our wedding. The music was perfect for both the ceremony and reception. It definitely set the mood for the day. I also decided to get them to video our wedding and that was one of the best decisions I made. The video was amazing and I was so glad that I was able to go back and watch our day and see all the memories we made that day. Definitely consider getting the DJ and videography package. It is totally worth it!

    Peter and the staff at Island Sound were very accommodating and easy to work with! They provided beautiful, blush uplighting at our reception to meet our "kate spade inspired" wedding at Rose Hill Plantation. We highly recommend their company for all your wedding day needs!

    Frankie is the best DJ we have ever known at ANY wedding. He's more than a DJ-he's a party planner, moral support, and crowd-control. My husband called him after seeing him teach at a dance event--he noticed Frankie's friendliness, cheerfulness, and how responsive he was to the mood of the room, and we hired him before we even knew the date of the wedding!

    We took private dance lessons with him, which I highly recommend as a great and low-pressure way to connect with your fiance in the chaos of the month before the wedding. Frankie went above and beyond, doubling his services as a wedding planner--I was planning on my own, and through a series of phone calls where I was struggling to figure out what to do, he helped me work out a timeline of events and even recommended the man who turned into our photographer!

    On the big day, Frankie led our guests in a swing dance lesson which had everyone out on the floor. Throughout the night, Frankie kept the tone of the party pumpin'--he never stopped working, keeping people happy and energized. We received so many compliments about him and we have some great photos of him in his black vest and spats, making our guests laugh! Thanks Frankie!

    Frankie did an absolutely amazing job DJing our wedding. He was very responsive during the planning process and made us feel confident that everything was under control. He kept the dance floor packed the entire night, and never said no to any request I had. I can't recommend him enough!

    Peter was great and we really appreciated his working with us, and Island Sound is one of the better-priced companies we found after getting bids from *thirty-three* different DJ companies. He was flexible, responsive, and the equipment worked wonderfully! We even had some last-minute (literally, AT the wedding) changes to the schedule, and it got a little confusing but he was pleasant and understanding with us.

    Frankie was our DJ and was amazing. He was super responsive and always crazy friendly. He is even a dance instructor and offered to do dance lessons for my husband and I (sadly enough, didn't work out with timing because my husband I have differing work schedules). Our meeting with him 2 weeks out was easy and reassuring that he is SO organized and on top of it. He asked the tiniest details to be sure everything ran smoothly and how we wanted it. He gave us amazing ideas for song choices too! The night of, he was well dressed, organized and fun. Everyone had a blast. A good DJ can make or break the wedding and he absolutely made it. Our guests were so impressed.

    They also did our uplighting and videography which were both AMAZING. The lighting was WAY cheaper than lighting companies and just as perfect. Videographer was always there and responsive and easy to work with. I'm excited to see that final product. Great services all around from Island Sound.

    Island sound and Music is absolutely fantastic! Harold Zebroski was our DJ and he was the easiest and most friendly guy to work with. I met with Harry a week before our wedding to go over our music preferences. Aside from the songs you traditionally have picked out such as the first dance, I told Harry to pick songs that he felt would make our reception fun. He certainly did not disappoint, so many people were dancing and having fun! Island Sound and Music provides you with tools to help you plan your wedding music perfectly, and they require that you fill out the forms so they will be organized. Don't worry though, Harry helped me fill out the entire thing and he even submitted it online for me. If you need help, they will not leave you hanging. Island Sound and Music also provided the sound/ head microphone for the officiant during our ceremony. We didn't need a full ceremony package but our officiant required a microphone, so Island Sound and Music was very accommodating. Lastly, we rented the photo booth and this was a huge hit. The line was long all night long. They even mailed us a CD with all the photo booth pictures after the wedding. You cannot go wrong with Island Sound and Music!!

    We used DJ Frankie Hagen as our wedding DJ and he was amazing! First of all, he was very easy to get in touch with and was always in a great mood! He gave us some really good suggestions for the organization of the evening and music to use for certain dances (i.e. Father/Daughter dance). We had an outdoor ceremony with a string quartet. Frankie was able to mike everyone and the sound was balanced perfectly. He then moved inside to DJ our reception. Frankie had the dance floor packed within 10 minutes and it stayed packed until the end of the evening! He chose songs that appealed to a wide age range. He was very good at reading the dance floor and sensing the types of songs people were enjoying. He was also incredible organized. He was instrumental in keeping the timeline for the night on schedule. We received several compliments on what a great DJ we had. Hiring Frankie was a great decision!

    We had DJ Frankie Hagan for our wedding. I immediately loved him after our first phone call. He was just as helpful at helping us plan our wedding as he was at emceeing our event. He was flexible with our schedules, and he was always available to meet with us when we requested it. He is familiar with all genres of music and was able to offer great suggestions for our specialty songs like the father/daughter dance (even when I selected beach music as the genre). He mixed up many types of songs and knew how to read the audience to help the flow and energy of the reception. He also suggested different group events that helped us to catch some great photos. We love Frankie!

    Peter was fabulous in the planning stages, during after the ceremony and reception as well the post party. He kept our guests dancing / entertained all night and we received nothing but positive feedback from all of our guests!......the variety of music was just right, it was not to loud and our guests danced all night long. We also had a photo booth which was very entertaining and we would highly recommend it. Peter also rented chairs and tables for out post party as well as karaoke which was quite entertaining. His fee was extremely reasonable for all the services provided and we would HIGHLY recommend Peter.

The dance floor was packed the entire night!! He always answered my questions during the planning process so quickly and made planning the reception easy for us. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Frankie and could not have asked for a better DJ!

    DJ Frankie ran my wedding reception for 4 hours and it was fantastic. He scoped out the venue ahead of time to determine the needs and flow to ensure all mics and speakers would work in the space. He was very responsive to my emails and phone calls and he even gave us a private dance lesson to help with our first dance nerves. Overall the service and value was great! Highly recommend his company and services for any event.

    WHAT A FUN NIGHT! From cocktail hour and dinner to getting people on the dance floor....JOSH is your D.J. John and I were thrilled to have Josh as our wedding D.J. He is extremely professional, a great listener and has new ideas to share if you are looking for fun ways to spice your dance list; makes for a great wedding video! Friends and family are still coming up to me in awe about my father and daughter dance-mix.
    Josh was very easy to work with when planning the best songs for each dance to make a special and memorable night and patient when helping us navigate through the resource links. We have met or spoken to others on the team (Frankie and Peter) and felt anyone on the team was always extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and very professional. We would recommend their services to anyone and look forward to using them again in the future. They are 100% the prefect choice for any occasion ! :)

    Island Sound is SO MUCH FUN!!! I had been to a wedding in November 2012 that used Island Sound as their DJ. After leaving that wedding, I was 100% sold that I had to have Island Sound as our DJ. We worked with Frankie (who is hilarious and so nice!) to figure out our exact needs for the day and submitted our song choices via their website for the ceremony and reception. It almost seemed too easy. The day of the wedding, Frankie was looking sharp in a suit and had the guests feeling sappy for the ceremony. I gave him a general direction of songs we'd like for the dinner portion of the reception, and he had some seriously great song choices! Frankie was very professional the entire time and always gave us a heads up before the next song when we would have to do something (ie: bouquet toss, speeches, last, dance, etc.). It was such a wonderful feeling to know that someone else was keeping up with everything and would tell us where to go and what to do. Island Sound was always extremely quick and helpful when responding to our questions via email and phone. I would recommend this company a million times over for any event in which a DJ is needed. We, and our guests, LOVED Frankie!!

    Frankie, Whitewater, Peter and the whole Island sound team were absolutely phenomenal. They responded quickly, adjusted to changes throughout the night, tailored the music to the crowd, just out right wonderful. I highly suggest anyone to use them for any event.

    The videography services were just as great. Whitewater was early for pre ceremony footage. Most the time we forgot he was even present. I can't wait to view the video.

    Oh, they also did our gobo lighting (monogram on wall) and up lighting. That was perfect as well. I left it totally up to the team and they did great. Thanks Island sounds for making our special day awesome.

    Frankie did an amazing job - I highly recommend him! We were a little overwhelmed by the concept of selecting music for the reception. Our music tastes are all over the place and the guests were so varied in ages - but we never had to worry with Frankie. The tools were great to plan out what we had in mind, and he was awesome at making adjustments on the fly based on our guests. Everyone had such a great time and I have never danced so much. Frankie is so fun and yet such a professional - you cannot go wrong with him as your DJ!

    I loved working with Frankie from Island sound and video. The company is awesome and affordable. They have online planning tools which make the process easy and smooth. I got to choose all of my songs online and Frankie was able to play all of them, no questions needed. Frankie was a pro at keeping the night running smoothly and getting all of our guests on the dance floor. He is a knowledgable, skilled DJ and I would recommend Frankie and this company to any bride!

    Can't say enough good things about Jason our DJ! He was awesome. We had a lot of children in the wedding party (4 ring bearers and 3 flower girls between the ages of 3yrs and 7yrs), and he managed to get them all to line up and walk in for introductions. The flower girls had, unbeknownst to my husband and I, wanted to do a dance for us, and managed to coordinate this with the DJ all by themselves (I cannot imagine how that conversation went!). The music was awesome as well and everyone was on the dance floor! Everyone wanted to know who the DJ was.

    Island Sound was amazing to work with. They captured every moment of our big day on film, but did so without being a burden. There were multiple times throughout the evening that I did not even notice them in the room. Island sound listened to what we wanted and we are very excited to see the finished product!

    At Island Sound we worked with Jason. He was awesome. He was very knowledgable and helped tremendously in setting up a wonderful reception. Jason is so enthusiastic and truly made the reception fun. Several of my guests asked me for his contact information because they enjoyed him so much.

    My wife and I had no need for discussion. Jason would be our DJ. After observing him at two weddings for friends and family, we knew that he was the one to fit our style and meet our expectations. You will not regret spending the money to have them play your wedding. I really do not know what to say other than he keeps the energy extremely high and the comfort level at the perfect mark. Do yourself a favor and be apart of the 100, after all, this might be your only shot, right?

    Jason was an outstanding DJ! Jason was professional & always was early to any appointment we had with him. We had a 2pm wedding and a 230pm reception. He had everyone dancing (especially for an afternoon wedding). He brought such an awesome energy to the wedding. A few of our friends are music snobs & they said that Jason did an outstanding job. Our caterer said she'd never seen so many people dancing at a wedding before. He BROUGHT the party. He also did an outstanding job with our uplighting in the venue. I would hire him again in a heart beat.

    Frankie was our DJ for our wedding and he was great! He really kept the party going and a lot of our guests told us that it was the most fun that they had had at at wedding. I like how Island Sound makes it easy to choose your songs and organize your reception with their online tools. It lets you tell your DJ what songs you want to play and when, what will take place at the reception, what songs you don't want to be played, etc. I'll definitely be recommending them to my friends!

    We were so thankful that we hired Jason as our DJ. He was very knowledgeable with all kinds of music and made us feel very comfortable when we met with him to discuss our music list. He has great suggestions and know's how to read a crowd very well. All of my guest raved and raved about what an awesome DJ I had. He played exactly what I asked him to. He looked professional and has nice equipment. He always answered my random questions in a timely response and he also kept me in check about getting the rest of my songs to him. He has very competitive pricing and is worth every penny! I've also recommended Jason to a friend, who used him in her wedding. He performed awesome at her wedding too. As soon as the wedding party begins to gather outside the reception area Jason is waiting there for you and is very organized. He takes complete control of the entire reception, I loved that!! I strongly suggest Jason for any of your DJ needs and would hire him again without any second thoughts. Your the best Jason!!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this company! We hired them after hearing Jason DJ a friends wedding last december! He was GREAT! He helped us prepare for our big day all along the way and was able to answer all of our questions! He provided the audio and music for our ceremony and the audio, music and lighting for our reception. It was PERFECT! He even found a copy of the University of Mighigan fight song to surprise my husband with during out first kiss! Jason kept the day alive with his work at the reception and the dance floor was never empty! I cant remember the last wedding i went to that i stayed on the dance floor the entire night! We will never forget that night and he was a huge part in making it so memorable!

    Island sound was great! We used them for both DJ and videography services. Jason was our DJ and did a phenomenal job- the dance floor was packed the entire time, and everyone from college friends to the older guests have commented on what a great job he did. Jason really knows his music- and he will find a way to make everyone have a good time.
    Although we havent seen our video yet, Whitewater, our videographer was very professional, fly-on-the-wall, and very nice and easy to work with, and even stayed extra time just to capture some extra footage for us.
    We had a video confessional booth- again, its too early to see the footage- but it went over really well with our guests and they had a lot of fun with it!
