Total Rockstar!

From the first time I met Shannon, he was great. I had no worries about the music. We vibed from the get-go. He knew how to read the room, he helped with some song selections. He played some impromptu songs we threw at him that day. He was also helpful with honeymoon ideas! Go with him and you won't be disappointed.

Best Wedding Ever

DJ Shannon was incredible at our wedding. He kept the night moving smoothly and when the dancing started, nobody left the floor until the lights came on at the end of the night! He took into account our requested songs but also played to the mood of the crowd. Thank you DJ Shannon!

Fantastic DJ! Would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Shannon did an absolutely perfect job at our wedding. First of all, during the planning process, he responded quickly to any questions. Once we hired him, the planning forms were very straightforward and gave us the right amount of freedom to personalize our day without overwhelming us. He did the music for our wedding ceremony and reception, which went flawlessly. He made announcements to help the day run smoothly from one event to the next and was flexible when we got slightly off schedule. During the dancing, the playlist he created was perfect. He read the crowd and adjusted accordingly to keep everyone engaged. Overall, I would strongly recommend Shannon to anyone for his professionalism, flexibility, organization, and excellent skill as a DJ.

Incredible!

We recently had Shannon do all of the audio for our ceremony and reception!! He was excellent and so easy to work with. His communication was very quick and responsive. He was easy to collaborate with on our special request and helped make our day go so smoothly. I would recommend a thousand times over having him for your wedding or event!

Wedding DJ - June 2022

We hired Shannon through a recommendation from a co-worker that used Sound Extremes Mobile DJ Service for her wedding. From the beginning Shannon was very responsive and very easy to work with. We had to change our date about a month into the 11-month planning process due to a venue mix-up and Shannon very easily accommodated our date change as he was luckily available on the new date.

What made us hire Shannon was the flexibility in timeline, affordability, and communication style. We had no prior personal experience with hiring a DJ and this was a very easy process!

Prior to the wedding Shannon provides a very easy form to fill out to clarify desires for the day-of, names, etc. We also had quick telephone call to review and talk over any questions either of us had the week of the wedding. The day of the wedding Shannon was awesome - he was set up with PLENTY of time to spare. Music was played at appropriate volumes throughout the night from pre-ceremony music, ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing. We utilized his services for our ceremony and used one of his wireless mics (not typical but worked better for our set-up) and everything worked great. We left most of the reception song playlist in his control and just wanted people to stay dancing and we had a very successful wedding night! Songs played kept people on the dance floor and there was a good mix of slow and fast songs.

Would definitely recommend Sound Extremes Mobile DJ Service for future weddings!

Wedding date won't show up correctly in review - but it was 6/18/22. And my name also happened to be Shannon M. :)

Can't Recommend Shannon Enough!!

Shannon did an absolute amazing job at my wife and I's wedding ceremony and reception in June, 2022! He's super accommodating and extremely good at what he does. He kept our friends and family out on the dance floor all night long and even took all their ridiculous song requests when they had them. Super fair priced and crazy fast setup and teardown just like he advertises. Seriously can't recommend booking him and his services enough! Everyone loved the glow sticks too!

Good experience

The day before the event Shannon called just to make sure the paperwork I had sent was correct because it was very minimal.
I am glad he did because I had forgot something.
He even made sure the song I asked to not be played wasn't

Perfect DJ for our wedding!

Shannon was the best DJ that we could have ever asked for! He was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. He is extremely knowledgeable in his craft, and has so much experience that he is comfortable working at any venue. He was flexible with all of our requests, and even stayed a little extra for us! He had our friends and family on the dance floor all night long. We are forever grateful to Shannon for truly making our wedding the best night of our lives!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
