What is the story behind SoundNJoy?

CONCERT-LEVEL ARTISTRY FOR WEDDINGS AND EVENTS

SoundNJoy brings the artistry and emotional impact of a concert-hall performance to weddings and special events. We believe live music should be more than beautiful background music—it should make each entrance unforgettable, deepen the emotion of the moment, and create an experience your guests can truly feel.

Led by founder and violinist Ju Hyun Kim, DMA, whose performance experience includes Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium, SoundNJoy features conservatory-trained professional musicians with extensive concert and event experience. Ju Hyun has worked in the wedding and event music industry since 2008, bringing exceptional musicianship and thoughtful attention to every celebration.

SoundNJoy’s professionally released recordings reach more than 70,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, reflecting the same artistry and emotional connection we bring to every live performance.

Our ensembles include solo violin, violin and cello duo, string trio, piano trio, and string quartet. Our diverse repertoire ranges from timeless classical music and jazz standards to pop favorites, movie soundtracks, Christian music, and culturally meaningful selections.

WEDDING MUSIC EXPERIENCES

PRE-CEREMONY — Welcome your guests with elegant live music as they arrive and take their seats.

CEREMONY — Personalized music for the wedding party entrance, processional, special ceremony moments, recessional, and guest exit.

COCKTAIL HOUR — An engaging blend of classical, jazz, pop, and movie favorites that creates a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere.

FIRST DANCE — A live performance of a meaningful song to make your first dance even more personal and unforgettable.

From the first notes of the prelude to the final cue and transition, we thoughtfully coordinate each musical detail with you, your venue, and your wedding professionals. By the time your wedding day arrives, the music should be one thing you no longer have to think about—so you can simply be present and enjoy the moment.

SoundNJoy has performed at distinguished venues including The St. Regis New York, The Plaza Hotel, The Madison Hotel, Westmount Country Club, The Park Savoy Estate, Bear Brook Valley, and Ninety Acres at Natirar. Founder Ju Hyun Kim has also been featured in CanvasRebel, sharing the story and artistic vision behind SoundNJoy.

We serve weddings and events throughout Northern, Central, and Southern New Jersey, New York City, and Eastern Pennsylvania, with select Connecticut and destination events available upon request.

SoundNJoy is fully insured. Amplification is available when appropriate, and our musicians can coordinate their attire with your wedding colors or dress code.

Exceptional

Unbelievable musicianship. These ladies sounded like 1 instrument. Perfectly in sync. Having a string quartet for my wedding was a dream come true. SoundnJoy made that dream perfect. Even the other musician we had for the reception asked me for their information because he said he never saw such a perfect performance.

Musical Excellence!

SoundnJoy provided outstanding live music during our wedding ceremony in August 2023. We opted for a string quartet and they were able to accommodate. Ju and her team added an enchanting touch of elegance to our special day. Their performance was nothing short of extraordinary, and their professionalism was commendable.

The quartet's skill and expertise were evident from the moment they began playing. Their musical talent elevated our ceremony and reception to another level. They helped create a romantic and intimate atmosphere that our guests couldn't stop raving about.

One aspect that truly stood out was their ability to adapt to the unique demands of a wedding event. They flawlessly transitioned between different pieces of music, enhancing each moment with the perfect tune. This versatility was particularly appreciated during our ceremony, where they expertly timed the music to match the procession and recessional.

Ju and her team's professionalism shone throughout the entire process. They arrived promptly, dressed elegantly, and worked seamlessly with our coordinator. Their attention to detail ensured that the music seamlessly integrated with the flow of our wedding day.

Furthermore, Ju's excellent communication skills eased our planning process. She was responsive to our requests and provided valuable guidance in selecting music that perfectly captured the mood we wanted. This collaboration made us feel confident that the musical aspect of our wedding was in capable hands.

Ju and her team's performance as a wedding string quartet was truly exceptional. Their skill, professionalism, and adaptability made our wedding day even more magical. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking to infuse their special day with the beauty and emotion of live classical music. Thank you, Ju and team, for creating a musical backdrop that will forever be etched in our hearts!

Excellent Violinist

Ju Hyun played Meditation by Thais for my wedding and it was the best violin performance I’ve seen in my life. I went to violin school when I was young and had watched many violinists at various concerts but Ju Hyun definitely was another level.
