CHRIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! if we ever have another large event where a DJ is needed we will be giving chris a call real quick! Best decision of the entire wedding! Everything ran as smoothly as possible even with a few medical emergencies with Chris' help, we got everything back on track and made a smooth transition to the rest of the night. The music played was great, ceremony and reception were both beautiful and we have most of the night to thank Chris for! HIGHLY RECCOMENDED we were so so pleased!

Chris did an excellent job as DJ for our ceremony and reception. He even made a last minute change to our ceremony music the night before the wedding. Our wedding was right after Thanksgiving and Chris drove back from his family gathering a day early to be at our rehearsal.

Chris Rao was awesome! He was extremely organized, helped us with our reception timeline, and even sent us song suggestions when we were having trouble making our selections. Chris was a fantastic DJ, took care of everything on our wedding day, and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests were up and dancing all evening! We wish we had another event upcoming so we could work with him again – I’d highly recommend Sound Wave Entertainment and Chris Rao for your next event!

Aside from our photographers, Chris was the only vendor that we had no concerns about. He responded to all of our emails promptly and took care of everything the day of our wedding! He provided us with a great timeline that allowed us to have more time for dancing and entertained our guests! Thanks Chris!

Chris R was the DJ for our wedding. He was a fantastic Dj and kept our guests entertained the whole night. He genuinely cares about his clients-and spent time before our event going over the day's details & getting to know us. I would highly recommend Chris and Soundwave DJs for any event.

Chris MCed and DJed our wedding and was exemplary. Start to finish through the process of working with Chris, his experience and professionalism was apparent by walking us through all aspects of his involvement and value in our wedding. Chris was so great in helping us determine the flow of events and understanding how best to order our ceremony and reception. When it came to the music, Chris did a wonderful job in gauging the crowd and picking up on themes and styles of music to keep folks – young and old – out on the dance floor. Of all the vendors that went into making our wedding happen, Chris was one of the few at the top who really knocked it out of the park for us. We are happy to write this review, and recommend him to future couples.

Chris Rao was the dj for our recent wedding and I'm so glad we used his services! He is such a nice person and just made our event fun and upbeat. I had a long list of personal requests as far as music was concerned and he basically played everything I asked for. He did an awesome job moving things along for us amidst the chaos and guests were dancing all night long. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

DJ Chris Rao kept my guests dancing all night long! No one wanted to leave! The day after my wedding I had at least 5 phone calls from friends asking about my DJ because he simply MADE THE WEDDING! :-) We were thrilled with Chris and his company and will surely recommend him to all friends and family in the future for any occasion! Thanks so much, Chris!!

Finding a DJ is extremely important for your big day because it really can make a huge difference on how your reception flows. The minute I met Chris at a bridal show at Bristow Manor, I knew he was the perfect guy for the job. He absolutely did not disappoint me. I loved that the dance floor was packed the entire night. Our night flew by because we had so much fun! Chris did an amazing job both during our ceremony and reception. He played a variety of music and also took requests. I am thankful I booked him in time for our event! I would highly recommend him for any event because he takes the time to sit down and talk with you one on one to get a feel for your type of music! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day! :)

Chris Rao was great! He was fun and professional and did a great job playing softer music during dinner, music for older guests earlier in the evening, and music for younger people later in the night. He dutifully adhered to my long do-not-play list (despite the pleas from my some of my guests!) I appreciated that when my guests begged to hear the cha-cha slide, he conceded only when I was in the bathroom:) He helped make my wedding perfect--a big thanks to Chris!

Very good service, reasonably priced and enjoyed by young and old!
Chris Rao was a very wonderful addition to our wedding reception at The Briar Patch, he was able to make the whole day musical...from aisle walking to after dinner dancing,all bases were covered!
We would highly recommend using a smaller company for a more personal feel, for us Chris Rao and Soundwave was it!!!!!

Chris provided the music for the ceremony and the reception. I met with him two times before the wedding and worked out all the details. Chris was always available to answer my questions, give me vendor ideas, provide tickets to bridal shows, and provide me ideas for the reception. Chris became my wedding coordinator for the day and handled the schedule for the day with the reception staff. He had the timeline for the whole event and did a great job keeping things moving. We got ahead of schedule before the reception, so he adjusted when certain dances and events were going to happen. I didn't have to worry about anything during the wedding. Chris did a great job. The dance floor was never empty. We had kids, parents, grandparents, and friends dancing all night long even though they hadn't planned on it. He had a great variety of music and did a great job figuring out what the guests wanted to hear.

Chris Rao was a fantastic DJ and kept the dance floor going at our wedding. He even got on the floor to show everyone how to do the electric slide. :) Chris had a fun personality that went over very well with both of us. He was willing to meet when we needed to and was very easy to work with when it came to music selections and timing.
He also set up the speaker system for the outdoor ceremony and everything was flawless from the speakers for the music at the end of the ceremony to the mic provided for our readers.
All in all, we can't complain. He wasn't always quick to respond to emails, but we would recommend using Chris as a DJ to anyone because he was GREAT!

Soundwave provided a DJ for my wedding, and I couldn't have asked for more. He was attentive, flexible and really helpful in meetings before the event. He carried out all our special requests, and filled in where we had no idea what we wanted. Easily the best vendor we had.

Our DJ, David Harris, was great. He really got people on the dancefloor, and really moved the event exactly how we wanted it, even though we never met before the wedding, and we were an hour behind. We really appreciated his flexibility and ability to adapt to the situation. Plus we had so much fun and so did everyone else. We highly recommend his services.

Chris Rao did our wedding and he was the best DJ we could have asked for. We were a little unconvinced that their rates would be worth it but after the wedding we were more than grateful for what we received for the cost. He kept the kids at our wedding happy and dancing after they finished dinner by playing hip songs that kids know from movies like Shrek while the parents finished their meals and then got everyone involved seamlessly. He played just the right music to please everyone and made sure to throw in the songs that we wanted to hear as well. The best part was that he was easily available for whatever you needed him for and also that he did not need too much direction from us and I value a vendor that can please everyone without the customer having to be too involved in the planning. Everyone had a great time and we highly recommend his services to all future bride and grooms.
