    Videographer for Wedding

    Joanna from Soundwave is AMAZING!!!! If you are in need of a videographer for an event she is your woman! We hired her for our wedding and she was helpful every step of the way through planning all the way up to the day of the wedding. This is more than just a business to her and you can tell the moment you speak to her. Not to mention her work is beautiful and captures the perfect moments that you will want to have forever.

    The Day of our Dreams!

    Jim was an amazing DJ for our 9/30/23 wedding!! Our guests had the best time. His request form was incredibly helpful in making sure we had all of our music bases covered. Would highly recommend!

    Amazing DJ !!!

    Jimmy was our DJ for our destination wedding over the weekend. He was attentive, personable, and played great music. He played all of our requests (and absolute jams that were along the lines of our requested songs), he had perfect timing, and he was awesome at engaging the crowd.

    The first thing he did that was phenomenal was call out a dance off during dinner. My parent's table, the first to go up, did a little dance when they were called to get their food. After that, Jimmy said "the bar has been set and each table must do a dance when they get up to get their food". Every table started doing them, and a person from each table ran up to request their song with Jimmy. It was hilarious, spontaneous, and so fun to watch, and it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't said that!

    He was also very perceptive to our needs. At one point before the speeches my grandfather had to be brought back to the hotel. Jimmy pulled us aside and said "I think I just saw your step dad taking your grandpa home, do you want me to wait a bit for the speeches so he doesn't miss them?". This was so sweet and thoughtful and we really appreciated that.

    Jimmy - you rock. Thank you for helping us kill the dance floor the whole night!!!

    Jim is the best!

    Jim and the team at Soundwave are simply amazing. Jim was extremely accommodating and was even able to make last min song changes the morning of the wedding. He was extremely fun and upbeat and kept everyone dancing all night long. We would highly recommend using Soundwave!!

    Best DJ of Key West

    We had Jim & Joanna for our DJ & Videographer for our wedding recently and I cannot begin to describe how amazing they both are. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and were adding hours and people and making so many changes during our wedding planning and both Jim & Joanna were quick to respond and accommodate all of our changes. They are also just such kind people and you can just see how much they love their work and I love that. They helped make our wedding spectacular and I would 10/10 recommend them to everyone getting married in Key West.

    SoundWave's reply:

    Thank you for taking the time to write a review on us. Thank you for noticing how much we love what we do :) Thank. you for choosing us to be such an important part of your day. Joyfully,
    Joanna *& Jim

    Awesome entertainment!

    Jim did an amazing job with the music for our ceremony and reception! He sent us a form to complete prior to the wedding to ensure all of our requests were complete in advance of the wedding day. The form was very organized and easy to use!
    We provided Jim a short list of the types of songs we wanted played at our reception and he did a great job reading the crowd and keeping everyone on the dance floor. Our guests complimented his services and said they all had a blast!! I would definitely recommend Jim for wedding and reception DJ services!

    Amazing Video & DJ Duo

    Joanna and Jim were not only amazing with DJ and video services but they were an absolute blast to work with. Jim kept the party going all night on the dance floor and Joanna shot the most perfect wedding footage. They listened to all of our requests and executed perfectly. I initially was not going to do a wedding video and I am so happy with what Joanna produced. I am so happy we chose them as our DJ and Video vendors.

    The Best DJ in Key West

    Jimmy was such an amazing fit for our August wedding at the Southernmost Beach Resort. From beginning to end, he was fantastic. Super easy to communicate with. Booking and song choices (via his online form) were extremely simple and user friendly. At our actual event, he was phenomenal. He has a great announcing voice, everything was on time and his music choices kept our entire guest list on the dance floor all night! We had so many guests tell us how fabulous he was. Highly recommend.

    Never have I ever seen a DJ know how to properly handle a rogue T-Rex at a wedding...

    If you have even an inkling of a suspicion that a rogue T-Rex may wonder onto your dancefloor, don't call the Ghostbusters. Call Jimmy Cooper. This man got the job done! My childhood friend surprised us in an inflatable t-rex costume and Jimmy knew to turn it into an insta-conga line, which got all of our guests on their feet. (Unfortunately, this led to a severe lack of photographs of this moment as everyone was busy having too much fun conga-ing around the Hemingway property. But... his beautiful wife, Joanna, was there to capture this and many other moments as our videographer.). We absolutely loved our DJ, as did our guests. We have received more compliments about him than any other of our vendors. And also the most complaints. Complaints such as, "that man did not play a single bad song so I never got the chance to try the cake!" Or, "my feet were killing me by the end of the night because I just couldn't stop dancing!" I mean, this guy played back to back N'Sync and Backstreet Boys (he knew his audience... aka 30 somethings that would give anything to relive their boy band crushes of the 90s). Thanks Jimmy for giving us and our guests such a memorable night. We adored you!

    Incredible!

    Jim with SoundWave was part of our dream wedding team on March 4 in Key West! Jim sent us a form to fill out ahead of time which allowed us to customize the music for our day. Outside of our requests, Jim kept the vibe and the party going! He has excellent communication skills and kept us informed every step of the way! I highly recommend SoundWave!

    SoundWave's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was my pleasure to be such an important part of your day.

    Couldn't have been better!

    My husband and I contracted James with Soundwave several months before our wedding. We were always in contact with him regarding songs we would like for our ceremony and reception. James was incredibly flexible with our last minute changes to what songs to play for the processional music and our first dance. Not only was the audio portion flawless, they also provided uplighting that made our ballroom "pop". Do not hesitate to contact Soundwave, they are great!

    My Fairy tale wedding was captured by the best!

    Thank you soooo much for your services! I couldn’t have picked a better duo! Between Joanna & Jim and the rest of the Family affair everything turned out better than I asked for! My video made me want to relive that day all over again! Joanna captured every special moment & we are so appreciative of all the work you guys put into this. When you guys said you were from Philly that’s just a bonus as I am a jersey girl ;). You guys are awesome at what you do! Thank you for having that passion and creating those special memories for us!!!

    Joanna was able to capture our wedding 7/14/20 at Ocean Key Resort ! We received the wedding trailer and I must have watched it 100xs and tears every time! She is amazing and captured all the feels from our special day! She was responsive so flexible and easy to work with! If you are looking for a videographer she is the girl to see!!!! Thank you Joanna! 💕

    Life of the party

    Where do we even start?! When our wedding was on the cusp of being postponed due to COVID in April, the biggest light of positivity was Jim at SoundWave. He had the best outlook and attitude about the situation. When we had to postpone until December, he didn’t skip a beat and made sure he personally could DJ our wedding, replacing himself at an annual Christmas event. Joanna came into the planning process and I can safely assume that she was the most efficient and simple videographer booking on the planet. She was so kind and helpful and gave us all of her professional recommendations.

    When we all met for the first time in person at our wedding, they instantly wiped any worries I had away. They were so positive, kind, happy, energetic and helpful. DJ and video services aside, we had a FANTASTIC time with them at our wedding! We laughed and and sang and danced all night.

    Their equipment was fantastic! Nobody had issues hearing music, speeches or the ceremony. There was not a single time when the dance floor was not occupied and we are so grateful for them!

    Joanna is the best videographer out there!

    We booked Joanna for our wedding and we couldn't have made a better choice for our videographer! From the moment that I spoke with her on the phone during the initial consultation, I told my then fiance that she was perfect. Just based on the phone conversation, I could tell she was going to do such a great job. She was so kind to all of our guests, including everyone, and made sure to catch all of the right moments while keeping everything on track. We haven't received our full video yet but we (and our family/friends) can't wait to see it after only receiving the highlight videos today! I usually feel so uncomfortable taking pictures or videos but she made the entire process fun and enjoyable. We also had a second videographer through Soundwave who arrived at the ceremony, she was amazing as well. If you're having any doubts about hiring Joanna, don't! We purposely cancelled with the wedding planning company we were originally going with because they wanted us to hire their own videographer but we wanted to go with Soundwave and it was the best decision. She truly went above and beyond her job description. She basically helped coordinate the guests beforehand to get the footage at the proper time. Her and our second videographer even offered to drive the groom and I to the reception venue so our guests could get there sooner while we get more footage. You can truly tell she loves what she does. We cannot recommend Joanna, or Soundwave, enough!

    Jimmy and Joanna are the best!!

    My husband and I got married last month in Key West and I can't say enough about Jimmy and Joanna. They were so much fun to work with and true professionals! Jimmy was very flexible accomodating my last minute requests and our people are still talking about our dance party! Joanna was always there catching every great moment and worked very well with our photographer also. I can't wait to see our video and relive the amazing night! I highly recommend working with them!

    Great DJ, highly recommend!

    My husband and I love music and we spent many hours compiling a list of songs that we wanted to play. Jim graciously took our longgggg list and played almost every song we requested. He laid them out so they flowed and tried to get our guests into it. He even complimented our song choices at the end :). Even if you don’t have a picky list like we did he has great taste and I think he would offer great song suggestions

    Soundwave was just that!!

    Jim at Soundwave did a perfect job of working the ceremony music just as my daughter ordered. The wedding reception was great, Jim was a great MC and keep us all on schedule and he play the music you wanted to hear. Once he got you on the dance floor you couldn't leave, just one great song after another! We also got uplights for around the dance floor area and it worked out great with all the flowers and palm trees, just wonderful!

    Amazing DJ

    I am so happy we chose Soundwave for our Wedding DJ! Communication was great and very easy during our planning process and they helped meet our every need! We were so happy with DJ Sanaris on our wedding day and got multiple compliments on him from everybody in every age range at our wedding. We could not have asked for more and highly recommend SoundWave!

    Exactly what we wanted! Amazing!

    The Soundwave team was amazing. We booked Soundwave due to its awesome reviews and it did not disappoint. We coordinated through James Cooper and DJ Rahm Rodriguez was our DJ. They asked us what we wanted and delivered just that. My husband and I had some very specific requests for our ceremony and reception and DJ Rahm hit every mark. By the end of the night we had heard everything we wanted and songs we had forgotten to request. DJ Rahm just got us, and got what we were going for. Our guests were on the dance floor the whole night, and not just one or two, lots! Soundwave does not disappoint!

    Made Our Wedding Great

    We had Soundwave DJ at our reception on December 1. DJ Rahm was the best DJ we have ever heard. We had a long list of songs that we wanted to be played and he got every one of them. The sound system was great. DJ Rahm kept the music coming, and even had some tunes requested from our country music loving guests. Rahm was very personable and made sure we did not want for anything. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND both Soundwave and DJ Rahm

    Great Experience!

    My husband and I hired Jimmy from SoundWave as our DJ for both the ceremony and reception for our destination wedding in Key West. We have nothing but good things to say about him as he was able to have people up and dancing for such a short reception (2 hour brunch reception). He was very responsive whenever I contacted him and was such a pleasure to have at our wedding. He knew we were from the Philadelphia area and even played the Philadelphia Eagles fight song which really added to the energy of the day. Thanks again Jimmy for such great service you provided on our wedding day!

    Superb DJ!

    James Cooper is a DJ Mastermind. In full transparency, we used the whole Family Affair team to do our wedding. Planner, Photographer, DJ, Videographer were all one great package. How did we find them? Through Jim and his wife Joanna. When we initially were seeking vendors on our own, Jim was one of the first people we spoke with. We had spoken with a few other DJ’s before Jim and none really had the vibe and connection that we were looking for. Jim was perfect from the beginning and was by far our most responsive, vendor. He led us through not only the DJ selection process, but guided us towards a path for other vendor selection that ultimately brought me and my partner’s stress level to almost ZERO.

    As a DJ, he is incredible. My partner and I were nervous to say the least when we were telling a DJ that we wanted the night to start out with inclusive Motown and approachable pop music that eventually turned into millennial gay dance party extravaganza realness.

    Did Jim flinch? No.
    Did he tell us he loved the idea? Yes.
    Did he execute? 100%.

    Everyone, and I mean everyone (my partners family aren’t big dancers) got onto the floor at some point, and most of our friends and close family wouldn’t leave.

    My partner and I decided to change our first dance song the morning of our ceremony.

    Did Jim reply to us day of the wedding immediately? Yes
    Was our last minute change an issue? No.
    Did he compliment our choice and say it would be perfect? Yes.
