My husband is very picky about music so we really needed a DJ who wasn't cheesy and understood our preferences. Sound Choice provided just that. We worked with Dave and it was a great experience. We met up a few weeks before the wedding and went over everything we wanted to have played and everything we didn't on the big day. Dave captured our musical style perfectly and had everyone out on the dance floor without any gimmicks. I highly recommend Sound Choice!

Dave Hoeffel of Sound Choice Disc Jockeys absolutely nailed our wedding day. He was incredibly professional and did a fantastic job! We had a two-story venue and I was worried that the sound would be uniform throughout the space, but Dave made it perfect. People could easily talk and mingle during cocktail hour and dinner, and he raised the volume gradually to get everyone out on the dance floor after dinner. The dance floor was then packed the entire reception. He did a great job reading the room and playing music that suited everyone’s tastes. Dave is truly the best and we couldn’t recommend him enough!

From our initial discussion through the end of our wedding, we were very pleased with Dave! We first emailed him and received a prompt response. We set up an initial phone call and learned more about Dave and to explain what we wanted for our wedding. During the call Dave did not pressure us to hire him whatsoever (we talked for about an hour), but instead explained his passion for music and being a DJ. It was also clear he had an impressive knowledge of music from the 50s to today. Dave also explained that he didn’t have a set playlist that he used, but instead asked what genres of music we liked, then chose songs based off that and of course how the people on the dance floor reacted. Dave was also familiar with our venue (and the specific room within the venue) so that made us feel even better about hiring him. We agreed to work with Dave, and planned to have a follow up call a month before the wedding.
A month before the wedding, Dave reached out to us to set up the call. We discussed the cocktail hour music, processional/recessional/bridge song, first dances, and what genres of music were okay to play at the wedding. We still hadn’t chosen a lot of these songs for the ceremony and first dances, but Dave was patient and gave us examples from recent weddings he had done. We also discussed “must play” and “don’t play” lists, which of course Dave abided by at the wedding.
Dave did a perfect job at the wedding itself. The cocktail hour music was great – we were glad we didn’t bother hiring a piano player (the room already had a piano in it). We weren’t really aware of the music because it was exactly what we wanted (and we were busy mingling!) but every few minutes we would notice a song was playing that we really liked. We soon transitioned to the first dances and then to dinner. Dave did a great job with the announcements – kept them simple and to the point. After the dances we transitioned to dinner, during which Dave played great background music. We didn’t dance between any of the courses, but once dinner was over, we headed to the dance floor (which was in an adjacent, connected room). Dave knew what to do, and switched up the music to get everyone out of their seats. There was never a lull after that. Everyone enjoyed the music. Dave was great about playing requests made on the fly (and sticking to “don’t play” and “must play” which we had discussed previously). Most importantly, he was able to stay an extra half hour past the agreed time since we were having so much fun dancing.
Overall we were so thrilled we chose Dave. Dancing and having fun was a very important part of what we wanted for our wedding. He didn’t make the wedding/music/announcements about him, which was something we were concerned about with some of the “stereotypical New Jersey” DJs we saw while doing research. If you want a DJ who is a professional, has great knowledge of music, and who knows how to read a crowd and keep everyone dancing, Dave is the DJ for you.

The best of all the people we hired for our wedding

Dave and Sound Choice DJs did the PERFECT job at our wedding on 10-8-17. I had been to far too many weddings with poor DJ experiences to slack when it came to our wedding reception music. Dave is clearly top notch. Living 4 hours away was no problem, as we met several times over Skype to discuss our preferences. Dave was attentive and informative of what will work, and took great care in crafting the perfect playlists for our cocktail hour and reception.

His equipment is top notch, and didn't interfere with our unique venue at all. I couldn't even tell you where one speaker was in that room, but the quality and volume were just perfect. He did a great job of toning it down while people were eating, and ramping it up to get people out on the dance floor!

We got many compliments throughout the night about the music selection and his overall professionalism. A DJ can make or break a wedding reception and Dave helped to meet and exceed our expectations for our perfect night. I would happily recommend Dave to anyone for their next event. Thank you Dave!

We hired Dave to DJ at our daughter’s wedding at the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank, NJ. We were attracted by the fact that he identified himself as the “non-tacky DJ” which is exactly what we wanted and exactly what we got. Dave is a pro. He focused on just playing music without unnecessary chatter and gimmicks and kept our guests dancing and having a good time throughout the reception and the “after-party” that followed. He also is so knowledgeable that he was able to provide microphones and technical assistance for the musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The bride and groom were thrilled with Dave’s selections. He judged the diverse crowed so correctly with his choice of music that several people stopped us during the reception and after to tell us what a great DJ he was and how much fun they were having. On a personal note, we appreciated that he was very responsive to our questions and that he met with us in advance of the ceremony to plan every detail. If you are looking for a DJ to work with you to realize your vision for an event, Dave is it.

We picked Dave Hoeffel to DJ for our wedding. He provided the music for our ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception. Before you "pooh-pooh" having a DJ and think you HAVE to have a band, let me tell you about our experience. We met with Dave before we made the final decision about DJ versus band. After our initial meeting, we knew we wanted to have Dave DJ our wedding. He has no gimmicks and talked very little. For him, it's all about the music. He worked with us to develop a play list and made some terrific suggestions that we incorporated into our ceremony and cocktail hour. We told him that all we want is for the dance floor to always be packed and for everyone to have a good time. Dave delivered in spades. We've been to alot of weddings, some with some spectacular bands, and there's never been more dancing or more people talking about what a great time they had for WEEKS afterward. He even had an inspired moment when he played "Piano Man" and had 150 people swaying together on the dance floor and singing along at the top of their lungs. It was EPIC! I can't say enough good things about him.

We were so happy with the decision to hire Dave to be our DJ at our wedding. From his first email where he attached images of how he sets up his speakers at our venue, to two personal meetings, to his stellar work on the wedding day, we were so happy with how personal the experience was. In comparison to large DJ companies that seemed very impersonal, Dave responded to my initial email with lots of great information about his role in the wedding. When we met in person, he showed a great knowledge of music and answered all our questions. At the wedding itself, he created a great atmosphere, he was a great emcee, the quality of the equipment was great and he played all the songs we wanted. We couldn’t have been happier with his role in our wedding!

Want a wedding DJ who knows what sound equipment he is using, who cares about sound quality and who will listen to your requests? Dave Hoeffel at Sound Choice Disc Jockeys, Inc is that guy. We picked Dave because he wasn't the typical 'character' DJ that we found everywhere else-more interested in the sound of their own voice and fashion sense than about the music. What a great choice! People were dancing all night, even through dinner! We couldn't have hoped for more!

First, if you want to perform at your own wedding, Dave is the guy to set it up for you. He managed to wirelessly setup three mics, as well as mic a keyboard, without any plug-in power source!! We were able to do a piano duet in the middle of a backyard (he had power near the building in the back). Everything sounded amazing, and we know most DJs cannot do this. He also assured us that whatever sounds needs we had, he would be able to accommodate, and we never had to worry that it wouldn't go smoothly.
Second, we have never been to a wedding with such a diverse playlist that had every age group up and dancing. We had compliments all night and are still receiving them. Dave got to know what we wanted, but also knew the crowd.
We highly recommend him for your wedding. He really went above and beyond and knows what he is doing. Thanks, Dave!
