Ross Delivers Excellence and Fun!

We couldn't have been happier to have Ross as our DJ and lighting/AV support and would recommend him to any couple. He was professional and understood our vibe immediately. He lit our space beautifully, accentuating the venue and capturing the atmosphere we wanted without us needing to spend a ton of time getting into the weeds of the details. He found ways to work in songs that we wanted while being very honest about his process and what would work best to keep the crowd going all night, and you can absolutely trust his instincts and experience. We had so many compliments from our guests about the music, and a special shoutout to him for respecting our "no" songs enough to literally turn down a real-money bribe from a guest - you can tell his character and professionalism from that alone!

A DJ Who Truly Gets It

We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From the ceremony to the last dance, everything was perfectly timed, energetic, and exactly the vibe we wanted. Ross read the crowd so well and kept the dance floor vibing all night—we had guests telling us it was the most fun they’ve had at a wedding in years!

Not only was he incredibly easy to work with (responsive, flexible, and totally in tune with our music preferences) but he also surprised us throughout the evening with little “Easter egg” songs we had only casually mentioned before. It was such a thoughtful touch and kept us grinning all night.

Ross really nailed a few special requests that meant a lot to us. Squeezing in multiple songs from BoomBox during our dinner? Heck yea, my guy!! Sweet Caroline for my grandmother named Caroline?? Bless. Seriously, if you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your wedding to the next level, this is your person. We can’t thank him enough!

Fantastic DJ!!!

Ross was the DJ during our reception and did a great job! We met with him before and he asked questions to get the vibe of what we were looking for. We trusted him to curate a playlist and play music that would get the crowd dancing. Ross did a wonderful job!!!

Read the room perfectly

Ross was such an incredible resource on our wedding day. He ran sound and lighting for our ceremony and cocktail hour, as well as music, sound, and lighting for our reception. Ross read the room so perfectly and kept guests on the dance floor all night. He worked closely with us to understand our musical vision and really understood how we wanted our day to sound.

Exactly what we were looking for

Hiring Ross was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He kept our guests on the dance floor all night and knew exactly what music to play at any given moment to keep the energy high. He was so easy to work with and really listened to all of our preferences with music. Our guests were coming up to us all night to comment on how great the music was and how impressed they were by our DJ. He did an expert job at running mics and music for our ceremony and officiants, and even cut specific songs for certain dances at our reception. Ross also provided uplighting and cold spark machines, which both added so much to our night. He went out of his way to make us, our vendors, and our loved ones who were giving toasts feel comfortable with how things were going to run and when things were going to happen, and he was always willing to do whatever he needed to to make sure we had the night we wanted.

Great DJ and extremely professional MC

Ross did a great job working with us to understand our preference of music and not playing a canned playlist, rather helping take our preferences into account while actively DJ in the moment. In addition to DJ'ing, he was professional and composed as an MC helping direct attention when needed and being very considerate of all aspects from ceremony, reception, introductions, and guest interactions. We found Ross from attending another wedding, one of twelve we went to that year, and he was by far the best. We were very thankful he was available for our wedding date since we were familiar with his style and couldn't have been happier we crossed his path. If you are lucky enough to work with Ross you will be more than pleased you chose him as your DJ/MC.

No-brainer Choice for Full Service Wedding DJ, Sound and Lighting

If there was a 6 start option, I would select it!

From the first planning interaction to the final send off, we were absolutely thrilled with Bela Sono.

Sound, lighting, mics and overall system was great.
Ross's has an amazing talent for reading a room and played beats that varied throughout the night to meet all guest types. - He even played songs that were mentioned in the speeches as little Easter eggs!

Highest level of professionalism and we got high praise from our guests.

Could not recommend more!
