Awesome job Sounds Elevated!

I am a wedding planner in Tahoe and highly recommend hiring Sounds Elevated! They provided a live jazz trio for the wedding ceremony and DJ Ian McDonald for the reception who kept everyone dancing to funky music all night and was awesome to work with. Sounds Elevated is extremely professional, very accommodating to the guests and takes any stress away from us as we trust them and their services 100%. We look forward to working with Ian and Sounds Elevated again soon!

Sounds Elevated is the BEST!

We cannot recommend Sounds Elevated highly enough—they are truly the absolute best! From the moment we started working with their team, everything was seamless, professional, and stress-free.

On our wedding day, we had the incredible Robin Applewood as our DJ and Matt on the saxophone, and the energy they brought was unmatched. The dance floor was alive and bumping the entire night without a single lull. Robin had an incredible sense of exactly what we needed at every moment, and Matt’s saxophone elevated the experience beyond anything we could have imagined.

Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had on the dance floor. Sounds Elevated made our wedding unforgettable, and we are so grateful for their talent, professionalism, and artistry. Thank you for making our day absolutely perfect!

Incredible!

We had such a wonderful experience with Sounds Elevated from start to finish. We originally found them since we were interested in a DJ Live Fusion for our wedding. We really enjoyed how personable Zeb was on the initial call and trusted him completely for our wedding. We chose the Zenith Package so that we could definitely get DJ Zeb plus 3 areas of sound and more lighting and we are so happy we did! They were really great with guidance in choosing music and how to create different playlists for the different parts of the wedding day. The final call before our wedding was extremely helpful and Zeb is just a really nice person who also gave great advice! I was also particularly grateful to Zeb for remembering certain details I told him were important to me during our phone call and he really made sure to prioritize each one during our wedding. The band was incredible and the dance floor was packed all night long! It was really hard for me to step away to do anything else because every song was perfect and the energy was great! I cannot recommend them enough every guest has told me countless times they had so much fun! Thank you so much Sounds Elevated everything was perfect!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Zeb is awesome! Worked with him at a wedding in Tahoe. Not only is a fantastic DJ but he is an uber talented musician as well. Played the guitar while the wedding party walked down the aisle it was beautiful!!

I had the opportunity to work with Zeb on the wedding of a lifetime in May, and he KILLED it! There were multiple days and parts to this celebration and he read the crowd perfectly. He created an atmosphere that everyone wanted to be part of. On the first night, we were supposed to end at 12am and he kept the party going well past 1:00am. No one wanted to leave the dance floor! On the night of the wedding, the dance floor was wall to wall people. Everyone was having the time of their lives. Zeb is a true professional, and he has mastered his role in events. I hope to be on the same team with him in the near future!

Zeb of Sounds Elevated is the best wedding DJ we've heard out of over 100 of them. He was the DJ / "sound guy" for the ceremony and reception at a wedding we photographed in Elk, CA in fall 2016, and here's what we observed: He really knows what people want to dance to. He didn't just crank out the top 40. He knew what was current and good to dance to while also mixing in a lot of the classics, without getting too cheesy or making you feel like you were at a late 90s Bar Mitzvah. And he actually mixed all of the music, seamlessly blending from one song to the next; there was never an awkward pause. You know he was playing all the right music because the age on the dance floor ranged from grandma and grandpa to crawling babies. Again, super current, danceable music without getting awkward or raunchy (which is awkward at a wedding). Besides the dance floor in the barn, Zeb also ran the sound for the 125 person ceremony, which was on top of a foggy California coastal hillside. His set up was clean and professional and sounded great! There were no mic errors / loud screechy cover your ears type of moments... and we've heard plenty of those right in the middle of a ceremony! His over all presence was friendly and professional and really just spot on. We ended up photographing later than we were scheduled for partly because the music was that good (and everyone was still dancing because of that)! We now only recommend Sounds Elevated to our clients (:
