Dream team!!!

Here’s the punch line — Karen and Paul are the ultimate “dream team” of Saratoga Sound DJ &; Acoustic. During the process leading up to our wedding- they were kind, personable, informative, very responsive, flexible, and most importantly—true professionals with wonderful talent. Their live acoustic performance during our ceremony, made our precious moment that much more memorable. Not to mention that the playlist at our reception exceeded our expectations! They played banger after banger and we received many compliments from guests throughout the night. To be frank, I’ve never seen a dance floor so full at a wedding, thanks to these two. We appreciate you both for helping us achieve the best day of our lives! Cheers. Xoxo -Jess & TJ

P.s. the digital photo booth was SO worth it

Winter Wedding

Karen and Paul made our music dreams for our wedding come true. Paul recorded and performed an original instrumental version of "Beauty and the Beast" for our processional and it absolutely blew us away. They managed our timeline of events so seamlessly and kept the dance floor full the entire night. On top of that, the up lighting, the powerpoint with our photos, and their energy were an incredible addition to our wedding in upstate NY. Would highly recommend and so many guests raved about them afterwards.

September Wedding

Karen and Paul created a great atmosphere for our wedding! We enjoyed the acoustic music during the ceremony and reception. Karen and Paul were very flexible and performed live renditions of songs of choice. We thought the combination of live music and the DJ’d reception was the best of both worlds and created a unique experience. They were very easy to communicate with and we highly recommend their services!

Don’t think twice! Book Saratoga Sound!!

From the moment we met Paul and Karen we knew we wanted to work with Saratoga Sound. They are both so friendly, kind and extremely responsive. Each meeting with them exceed the next. In the week leading up to our wedding, we had our final meeting and it eased our nerves so much. You could tell they just understood our vision and boy did they nail it on the big day!!! What a classy yet extremely fun and energetic wedding we had. We received so many compliments about how our dance floor was packed the whole time. The Photo Booth provided by them was also such a hit!

All in all, the best part was how we could trust them both to play the songs we wanted but also really read the room. Each song blended into the next. I think that is what you really want to find in a DJ.

Five stars all the way! Don’t think twice! Book them!!

Karen and Paul are the best

Karen and Paul took the time to listen to what we envisioned our wedding day looking like, they provided opinions and their expertise wherever necessary, along with blending everything together to a flawless finish. Our day was absolutely spectacular, and Karen and Paul are a huge reason for that!

Amazing!!!! 10/10

Saratoga Sound absolutely nailed it!! They had everybody, from every generation, up on the dance floor. The dance floor was crowded from start to finish. It was the highlight of our wedding night. Karen and Paul also sang acoustic songs during the cocktail hour; which we are still receiving compliments about😊 Working with them was easy and the communication was excellent. It was the least stressful part of the wedding planning. Saratoga Sound is professional and knows what they’re doing. I would 100% recommend!!

Saratoga Sound

Karen and Paul were amazing at our 10/10/25 wedding. We originally met them at a wedding expo and right from the start they were very personable. We loved their energy through the whole planning process. They were so flexible with meeting with us through video calls, we booked them while we were on our vacation out of state. For anyone looking to book with them, trust their process and experience. The live music Karen and Paul performed during our happy hour was a nice touch and the photo booth was so much fun. Our dancefloor was lively all night and our guests had a great time. They provided everything we hoped for on our big day and were fantastic to work with.

Wedding review

Karen and Paul with Saratoga Sound DJ are the absolute right choice for your wedding or event! My husband and I were lucky enough to have chosen them for our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. Karen and I met on the phone prior to the event and she was so easy to work with and really understood exactly what we were looking for and put my mind at ease during the stress of planning a wedding. We opted for them to do a acoustic duo during our cocktail and they were lovely and so talented. Cannot say enough positive things about them, you will definitely not regret choosing them!

Excellent DJ experience!

This was the first time either of us had hired or closely worked with a DJ, and the experience was seamless! In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding weekend Karen and Paul were exceptionally responsive via email, were helpful with planning out the music/timeline preferences, and gave us piece of mind with their professionalism and experience. Their professionalism and support continued into the wedding day, where they were simultaneously able to keep the energy and festivity going while making sure that things like toasts/speeches/special dances went off without a hitch-- we felt taken care of and celebrated, and definitely felt like we were in good hands. We continue to hear from our guests how much fun they had and how effortless the evening seemed, and we'd highly recommend Saratoga Sound to anyone planning their wedding or event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
