Exactly What We Wanted!

Bob did an excellent job DJing the wedding. He was very clear about what he needed from us, and made it easy. We gave him a very random playlist and he did a great job making it all seamlessly flow together. We had a blast!

Highly Recommend

We are so happy that we chose Elephant Sound as our DJ for our wedding. From our first phone call with Bob, he was extremely professional and super helpful. The online form was very straight forward and Bob was extremely responsive to all of my questions throughout the planning time. From the ceremony to the reception, Bob did an amazing job and made our day flow so nicely. During our reception, he kept our dance floor packed for 3 hours straight. I highly recommend Elephant Sound for a wedding DJ!

Excellent, excellent DJ!

Bob was the DJ for our wedding in November 2021. Throughout the entire planning process he was incredible; he met with us multiple times before the wedding to get to know us and what we wanted for that day. Music is very important to my husband and I and we definitely felt we could trust Bob with his many years of experience. The day of the wedding he definitely delivered exactly what we asked for--quite the party! He can read the room! His lighting was also really good. His online system made it really easy to request what we did or did not want to be played and to plan the whole evening out. Thanks Bob!!!

They were great

Elephant Sound was very flexible, organized, and worth the price. There was a few mistakes with music made during the ceremony but if we had talked prior to the ceremony it would have worked out perfectly. They use a website that allows you to put in any recommendations you want and take calls if you have any questions. They were also flexible when I had asked for them to move from one building to the next for my Catholic wedding.

Just what you want

They were on time, easy to work with, played everything we wanted, read the room, MC'd, and did karaoke! Flexible for both the rehearsal and reception.

I can't recommend them highly enough

Wedding at the barn

We had our wedding at the barn, and did our own set up so needed to know how much space to leave for the dj and photo booth. He was so responsive and helped us figure that out right away. He came to the rehearsal and made sure the music we had was what we wanted for walking down and back up the aisle. The wedding reception music was amazing, everyone was dancing and when they weren’t the dj would switch up the music and everyone would flood the dance floor again within one song. The photo booth was a hit and we received a usb drive at the end of the night with everyone’s pictures to keep for ourselves. Overall I would review elephant sound.

A DJ that knows Ithaca

We hired bob for our wedding at Lakewatch Inn and everything went perfect. Bob has a form that helps you organize special songs (bouquet toss, father of the bride dance, first dance, etc) and helps to schedule them. Most of all though, Bob is the veteran DJ in the Ithaca area so he knows all the venues, the owners, and has worked them multiple times. We didn't have to lift a finger to have the perfect wedding with Bob. We showed up to check out the set-up a couple days before the big day and Bob was already setting up his lights (which were awesome and free of extra charge), his booth which is compact, and the photo booth which was a blast and all our guests loved.
