The Best in The Business

Where do I even begin? This company IS THE BEST! We hired the whole team to be our DJ, photographer, and videographer. Matt (DJ) was excellent! He played all of the right songs for our special moments. Matt also played all of the songs that we wanted to hear for our dancefloor. Marie (photographer) was OUTSTANDING! She knew the timeline of events, helped lead us on our wedding day, took care of us, and went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our day flawless. She made sure to capture all of the right moments in our photos. Sean (videographer) made sure to take video of everything we wanted. He got multiple shots from different angles and made our day super fun! If we had to do it over again, there is no question about who we would have on our special day. It would DEFINITELY be Soundwave. This group of people have become like family to us and they are terrific!

Like no other.♥️

I don't even know where to begin...
I've been friends with Marie on Facebook for quite some time, due to having tons of mutual friends and maybe meeting a few times in our younger years.
I saw a party she posted and asked her if she photographed weddings and if she would come and work for me. Hands down- BEST decision I made in my wedding planning process.
From the first meeting, (where she probably didn't even want to take us on as clients because my husband politely insulted her), Marie was absolutely AMAZING!!! She was there to not only be my photographer, but my therapist, my wedding planner, the person I'd call when I was absolutely losing my mind, and just a friend to vent to when needed. Marie offered suggestions when I didn't know where to turn for other vendors. To say she was the constant calm during all sorts of storms is simply an understatement. Marie made it fun, allowed us to be ourselves, and at the very end of the day- turned into family. Flat out- every picture could have been hot garbage, the continuous support and true care that she gives to her clients is worth every damn dollar. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous, for the record.
We did a bundle deal and hired her husband to be our DJ. Matt was phenomenal. I have NEVER been to a wedding where 1. The DJ gave a shit enough to get all the names correctly pronunciated. And 2. Everything was executed FLAWLESSLY. They are absolute rockstars in their industry and the only mistake you can make in planning your wedding- is not hiring them.♥️

Hire Soundwave for your wedding!

We met Marie (co-owner & photographer) in 2020 and quickly hit it off. We decided to hire Marie as our photographer & her husband/co-owner Matt as our DJ. We had to postpone 1 year due to Covid. Matt & Marie made postponing painless for us. We finally had our wedding day in February 2022. Matt & Marie played a HUGE part in making our day successful! They listened to every specific request we had and did a great job delivering. Matt absolutely heard us in regards to music choices and gave us the best cocktail hour, dinner music & dancing music we could have imagined. Marie helped guide us all day from 10:30am to 10pm. It was also a pleasure getting to know both of them & spending time with them on our wedding day! Zero regrets about hiring Soundwave. They have a whole crew of DJ’s and photographers you can research & see who fits your style best.

Matt and Marie are the absolute BEST!!

I cannot recommend Soundwave enough! Matt and Marie were by far easiest part of my wedding planning process. From the moment I reached out, they were so kind and responsive, and they continued to be so accommodating and helpful through postponing and changing venues.

Then, leading up to our big day, Matt was such a joy to work with. We video chatted to iron out the timeline and discuss details. He was genuinely enthusiastic about honoring our vision and tone for the day, which I appreciated so much!

And on the day of our wedding, he completely exceeded all of my expectations. He helped make our ceremony so special and helped make our reception an absolute party — which is exactly what we wanted!

He is such a genuinely nice and upbeat person, and he is by far the best DJ I have ever seen. So, look no further for your DJ! Book Matt ASAP. You will not regret it!

Made our day complete!

Marie and Matt did an amazing job with our wedding. Marie was very detailed oriented and had fantastic ideas for our pictures. Matt kept the tunes jamming all night at our reception. They really captured us as a couple between the pictures taken and the music that was played. I highly recommend the social booth, our guests were enamored by it!!

Barron wedding

DJ Mak and sound wave were absolutely amazing! The booking process was super simple and the online planner really helped us hone in on what we wanted/ didn't want while still leaving the details to the true professionals. Our dance floor was packed from start to finish for our whole wedding. I had multiple guests comment on how "this is the best wedding playlist ever." While I know people will just say that in the moment and know we are a bit biased, I would agree! DJ MAK was great at reading the crowd and pleased everyone from my old aunt's our wildest friends. We couldn't recommend soundwave and DJ MAK more.

All around great DJ and MC!

We hired Brian at the last minute and he did a great job under short notice! He called the week before and made sure that we had everything prepared.

Best Photographer and DJ we could have picked

While planning a wedding during a pandemic was stressful, Marie from Soundwave Photography made the process so much easier. We were stressed about corralling two big families into photos, squeezing in pictures during a cocktail hour and not missing our reception, and coordinating everything while still enjoying ourselves. Marie and DJ MAK helped make our perfect wedding day. We did not have to worry about a thing. We have gotten dozens of comments about how great the music was, what a fun time guests had on the dance floor, and how wonderful the acoustic music was. Marie managed my anxiety over pictures and made the entire day easier for all of us. It was the perfect day because of the professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise of Soundwave. We would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married soon.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
