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!

The Best DJ Experience—King Most and Sounds Elevated Were Incredible!

If you want a wedding that’s full of energy, unforgettable moments, and a dance floor that’s never empty, look no further than Sounds Elevated and King Most! We could not be more pleased with our experience. King Most absolutely crushed it—he is a total pro who nailed every aspect of our wedding, from setting the perfect vibe during the ceremony to keeping the dance party going all night long.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the DJ was, and the dance floor was packed all night. The music selection was perfect for every moment of the evening—he knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the energy high. We were beyond impressed with how he seamlessly blended different genres to cater to all ages and tastes.

Plus, Sounds Elevated also provided beautiful live music that added such a lovely touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was exactly what we envisioned—and more! The combination of live music and DJ sets made our wedding feel like a truly special experience.

If you want the best energy, vibe, and DJ for your wedding, King Most is your guy. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for how he made our celebration unforgettable. Don’t hesitate—100% book him and Sounds Elevated for your event. They will bring the party, and you won’t regret it!

Great wedding DJ

Zeb from Sounds Elevated truly took our wedding to the next level. He played acoustic guitar during the ceremony, he DJed our reception (along with his live accompaniment on saxophone and drums, who were incredible). He even provided us with an afterparty playlist. Everything about the music at our wedding went perfectly, and we got rave reviews from our guests about the live music and Zeb’s song choices. The dance floor was packed for the whole reception. We would happily reuse Zeb and Sounds Elevated for future DJ needs. Don’t think twice about booking Sounds Elevated!

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 (:
