We hired Soundwaves Event Group for our wedding reception and ceremony, and they truly exceeded every expectation.

They captured our preferred music taste and blended it seamlessly with a brilliant ability to read the crowd, keeping the dance floor completely packed all night long.
On top of their exceptional talent and high-energy MCing, they are remarkably cost-effective compared to other vendors in the area—offering top-tier service without breaking the bank. If you want a stress-free wedding and a party your guests will talk about for years, book Soundwaves Event Group!

My husband and I chose Soundwaves Event Group for our wedding and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, they were efficient and clear about how they'd run our big day, and they showed up ready to go. David and Andrew kept our guests dancing and singing throughout the night with the perfect mix of songs and energy. What really stood out was how attentive they were to the room. They read the crowd and adjusted their set on the fly to keep the party going strong. Soundwaves made our special day feel even more special, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ that truly cares about making their wedding unforgettable.

Soundwaves Entertainment Group was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and Jacob was truly one of the stars of our entire day.

Starting from the beginning, Soundwaves was actually the only DJ company I contacted in the greater Pittsburgh area that was willing to send me their pricing before requiring a Zoom call. As a bride actively comparing vendors, I appreciated that more than I can explain. Their pricing was reasonable, straightforward, and transparent enough that I ultimately chose them without even continuing conversations with some of the other companies I had been considering.

Stacy was our initial point of contact and sent me their promotional pricing at the time. We had a brief phone call where I explained what we were looking for, reviewed expectations for the wedding day, and let her know that we wanted to move forward.

Another thing we appreciated was that Soundwaves required a relatively small deposit to secure our date. When you are paying deposits to multiple wedding vendors at the same time, that absolutely makes a difference.

Throughout the planning process, their system was extremely easy to use. We received automatic reminders as the wedding got closer, along with reminders to complete our music selections and planning information. Their online portal allowed us to organize our must-play songs, do-not-play songs, songs to play if possible, ceremony details, timeline, and other important information all in one place.

Every email also included our unique username and password, which sounds like such a small thing, but I genuinely appreciated not having to remember another password during wedding planning. Everything we needed was always right there.

About two weeks before the wedding, I received an email letting me know it was time to schedule our final meeting. That was when we learned we had been assigned to Jacob.

Jacob easily accommodated both of our work schedules and met with us on a weekday evening. The three of us went through our timeline, music selections, ceremony plans, and reception details, and we knew almost immediately that his personality and energy were going to be a perfect fit for us.

He reminded me that I could continue adding songs or making changes after our meeting, but simply asked that I give him a heads-up so nothing would be missed. I did make a few changes afterward, and everything was handled without issue.

A few days before the wedding, Jacob sent us an updated timeline along with a breakdown of all of our special songs, when they would play, and who they were associated with. That was incredibly helpful to have during our rehearsal even though Soundwaves was not physically there.

On the wedding day, Jacob was the first vendor on site.

He arrived well before the ceremony, had everything set up, and checked in with me multiple times before we started. He asked what I needed, what the officiant might need, where the photographer was, and whether there was anything else he could help with.

And honestly, at some point during the day, Jacob became much more than our DJ. He became my unofficial day-of coordinator.

Our venue was very large and had multiple separate spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I specifically did not want guests entering the reception area before it was time for them to find their assigned seats. I later heard that Jacob had politely redirected several guests who tried to sneak into the reception space early and reminded them that it was not open yet.

He paid attention to the details that mattered to us without me having to constantly manage them myself.

One of the best examples happened during dinner.

During our final planning call, Jacob had suggested that my husband and I consider having a private dinner. We loved the idea and decided to do it.

On the wedding day, our plates ended up being ready a little earlier than expected. Jacob came over and realized that people were stopping us and talking to us when we were trying to sneak away.

He walked over, complimented us, made a little conversation, and then casually asked the people standing around us what they were doing and told them to go sit down so we could leave and have our private dinner.

It was hilarious, effective, and exactly what we needed.

Another thing I had specifically requested was that the bar close during dinner.

I reminded Jacob about it and assumed he would simply make an announcement.

Instead, he walked over to the bar and individually approached the people who were already standing in line and told them it was time to return to their seats because the bar was closing for dinner.

That level of effort and attention honestly blew me away.

Throughout the entire day, Jacob repeatedly checked on us. He asked if we needed drinks, if he could bring us anything, take anything away, or help with anything at all.

He never made us feel like we were bothering him or asking too much.

Then the dance floor opened.

During my initial conversation with Stacy, I had specifically said that I did not want to pay someone to simply press play on a playlist. I wanted someone who could actually mix music and keep the energy moving throughout the night.

Jacob absolutely delivered.

He mixed songs throughout the entire reception, usually keeping them around the 1:45 to 2-minute mark before transitioning into the next song, and it was phenomenal.

The dance floor stayed busy all night.

The music never felt stale, songs did not drag on too long, and the transitions kept everyone engaged. He read the room extremely well and maintained the energy from the moment dancing started until the night ended.

Jacob went far beyond what we expected from a DJ.

He was organized, attentive, personable, proactive, funny, professional, and genuinely seemed invested in making sure we were having the best day possible.

I would absolutely recommend Soundwaves Entertainment Group, but I would specifically recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

He was not just the person playing our music.

He helped manage the flow of our wedding, protected moments that were important to us, kept our guests where they needed to be, checked on us constantly, and then absolutely killed it once the dance floor opened.

We cannot thank him enough.

Our guests had so many great things to say about the music and how much fun they had! DJ Soundwaves truly helped make our wedding night unforgettable. We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their special event! ❤️🎶💍

Caleb and Ian were so accommodating from the beginning. We crafted our playlist and discussed with Caleb one week prior to our wedding. Our main goal was to keep the dance floor full all night long. These guys crushed it. We’ve gotten so many compliments how great the music was for all genres! Well done gentleman. We will forever recommend Soundwaves entertainment. Thank you for showing up and making our wedding an unforgettable night we’ll always remember.

We had a wonderful experience with Ian and Freddy and would absolutely recommend Sound Waves Event Group! They were responsive, professional, and made me feel like everything was under control throughout our wedding day.

Ian was amazing with communication and constantly checked in with me before and during the reception. I was worried about fitting everything into our tight timeline, and he suggested a simple way to shorten our first dance and parent dances while still allowing us to enjoy them. It worked perfectly! He paid close attention throughout the evening and even came to my table during dinner to let me know we had fit everything in with two minutes to spare. He also always checked with me before accommodating guest requests and went above and beyond when I was worried about our photographers leaving before the dancing. He offered to take photos on his own phone so I wouldn't miss those moments.

Freddy did a great job as our MC and kept everything flowing smoothly. He was also incredibly accommodating with my last-minute changes and took the time to write everything down and double-check the details with me.

After our photographers and videographer left, both Ian and Freddy went above and beyond by taking photos and videos throughout the rest of the night. They captured so many wonderful moments and sent them to me afterward, giving me memories I otherwise wouldn't have had.

They truly made my reception one less thing to worry about, and I am so grateful for everything they did for us!

I would recommend Jacob from Soundwaves to anyone getting married! He did an incredible job coordinating the whole evening, and allowed us to just enjoy the moment and be present. Everything was done exactly how I asked and he was very willing to work with me on all my requests. We had the best night ever z:)

DJ David was amazing! He took the time to really understand the vibe we wanted at our wedding reception! He has the dance floor going all night long! Seriously could not have had a better night! Thank you SOOO MUCH!

Soundwaves Event Group was wonderful to work with! Stacey was always quick and comprehensive in her communications. We worked with DJ Jack Millz, who was extremely thorough and professional! He was incredibly easy to work with and kept our dance floor full all night! Would recommend to anyone (and we already have!).

Soundwaves is amazing! 100/10! From the beginning they made the planning process so easy and convenient. They were helpful and responsive. They also genuinely take time to get to know couples so they are able to deliver the perfect evening. The music and the vibes were great. People were out on the dance floor dancing and having a great time all night. I highly recommend Soundwaves Event Group!
