The perfect touch to our Halloween wedding!

Chris and his team were phenomenal! I appreciated the all in one service for entertainment, which made it so much easier when it came to planning. The live strings for the ceremony were beautiful and the jazzy cocktail hour was perfect to liven everyone up before dancing. The DJ was great, listened to our ideas and took requests during open dance. The Photo Booth was also a great add on! Our guests loved it and Chris even specially designed the print strips for our spooky Halloween wedding. His services really were the perfect touch to our big day!

Cannot recommend Sonic Rue Enough!

Simply put if you hire Chris and his team for your wedding or event be ready for all your guests to say how great the experience was. We used Sonic Rue for our wedding, including DJ, live instruments, photo booth, and saxophone on the dance floor, it could not have gone any better. Our dance floor was packed and the music was exactly what we asked for. The prep was the best experience possible too, Chris was insanely organized and knew how our day would go from start to finish and absolutely delivered. I cannot recommend Chris and his team enough. Organized, professional, and just a great guy. Going into the wedding our DJ service was the last thing we were worried about because of Chris’s communication, and he exceeded all possible expectations. Thank you Chris and your great team!

Fantastic Wedding DJ!

We would definitely recommend Sonic Rue! They were professional, easy to communicate with, and executed our vision perfectly! Chris is organized and had an easy form for us to complete ahead of time, and was happy to include or leave out any songs we wanted! He was accommodating and played music outdoors for our ceremony and indoors for our reception! He also played the saxophone LIVE during cocktail hour, which everyone absolutely loved!

Dancehall and Reggae!!!!

"Working with Chris and the Sonic Rue team was seamless from start to finish. He handled not just the music, but also our Photo Booth and Audio Guest Book, and everything ran perfectly.

He did an amazing job blending our specific music requests (Dancehall and Reggae!) into the night, and he seemed to genuinely enjoy the music which made the vibe even better. He also sent us the digital files for the photos and audio messages incredibly fast after the wedding. Highly recommend him for a stress-free, high-energy experience!

Sax on the Dance Floor!

We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Joel Hunt for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! The saxophone music added such a unique, elegant, and fun atmosphere to the dancefloor. Especially being such a last minute ask after our original cancelled, they really stepped up and it was meant to be. Can't thank them enough.

Amazing DJ and live sax performance.

We had music going the whole time and it couldn’t have been better. He set the perfect vibe from the start and kept it going all night. Everything was smooth. The live sax during cocktail hour was amazing, it really made the night feel special and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how great it was. Everyone is still raving about the music! His talent, communication and professionalism are in a class of their own. We couldn’t recommend him more!

Chris and his team are absolutely phenomenal!


Chris is very quick to respond to any questions and the pricing is very reasonable. We got the package where we had DJ and live saxophonist the entire night. It was amazing. If you are considering which package to do I highly recommend the one with live saxophonist!
He played along to a variety of songs and he got right in the middle of the dance floor which was awesome and so much fun. Our guests kept saying how much fun they were having and how the saxophone made it even better. 1000/10 recommend!!

Wedding review 10/4/25!

10 out of 10!! Chris was absolutely amazing for our wedding!! He was professional, organized, responsive and so kind. Good music that kept people on the dance floor all night, was very important to my husband and I. And Chris did just that! The dance floor was absolutely packed from start to finish. The photobooth was so much fun and the crowd loved it. Chris was so fabulous, I ended up getting my sister to also book him for her wedding next year. We cannot thank you enough for being a huge part of our perfect day! If you book with Sonic Rue, you will not be disappointed 🤍

Roaming Saxaphone was everything!

Sonic Rue was very easy to coordinate with and would highly recommend them. We did the DJ package with the ceremony having live music (piano and violin), DJ for reception and also live Saxaphone roaming around the dance floor which really hyped up the party. We had a call about 3-4 weeks before the wedding to run through everything with how we wanted everything and Chris did a great job accommodating everything. Chris was the DJ and a awesome sax player. He brought an assistant with him to be the DJ while he was was on sax. He also did a great job getting our wedding party together to line everyone up appropriately as well as keeping up with same day changes. Thank you Chris for a very fun night!

Great DJ to work with!

Chris is great! He was quick to respond, his materials were clear, and his pricing was really competitive, especially for what he offers.

We booked him for our wedding with a DJ and Photo Booth package. My husband was hoping to have a closed photo booth (which doesn't seem to be available most places, except for as an igloo type thing) and Chris even offered to reach out to another company he knows, to see if he could borrow one for us to use. The other company got rid of theirs, but even asking felt pretty above and beyond what I was expecting.

Genuinely, working with Chris was great. I never felt like I needed to worry about anything. He also received high praise from some of my other vendors - so he's definitely a good choice.

If you're thinking about it, you should definitely reach out to Sonic Rue.
