DJ Michael is a MUST HAVE!!

We had DJ Michael Glass for our wedding a few weeks ago and he was INCREDIBLE! Our guests are still talking about how personable and great he was. He was so high energy, friendly, and professional. We would recommend him and SSS to anyone that is getting married or in need of a DJ. They made the process seamless.

Michael Glass ROCKS!

Michael Glass is amazing!! We got married in October 2025 at The Van Landingham Estate in Charlotte and our wedding was absolutely perfect! Michael did a great job of directing the crowd and keeping the jams going all night long. We had such a great time on the dance floor and I credited that all to Michael. Highly recommend!!

Stop looking for a DJ

If you're looking for the best DJ, stop looking, you've found the one. We got in touch with DJ Smylee through our wedding venue, and from our first conversation with her we knew we were in good hands. She was attentive and communicative every step of the way. She called us up a few times to make sure we liked the playlists she was putting together, or the order of events was correct, and the set list was on point or each walkout. She even pronounced everyone's names right all night. Our reception never emptied, and didn't end until the venue kicked us out because she had the place rocking the whole night. She made our wedding fun and memorable, and we feel like she couldn't have done a better job. We appreciated every moment we had with her as our DJ, and I can't recommend her enough.

Best DJ business around!

For our wedding there was no question who we were booking for our DJ, it was a must to book Split Second Sound! We were very impressed with the whole process Vinny has set up. He was very informative about their business and what they’re about and what they offer! The process was extremely easy and seamless from booking to planning! We went through all of their DJs and picked Matt Piver for our wedding! He was absolutely amazing! We met with him twice before the wedding and was always just a text away if we needed him for anything! Our wedding was supposed to be outside but had to be moved inside and Matt was able to pivot without issue! Our venue also was struck by lightning the night prior and kept losing power but that did not interfere with the party at the reception! Matt was super prepared and had backup battery power and the music continued even without power to our venue! Split Second is amazing in always having a back up plan and knowing them I imagine their backup has a backup! We will always recommend Split Second Sound, especially Matt P, to anyone who needs a DJ to make their party one to remember!

Thank you for the best dance party!

Thank you so much to Split Second Sound and DJ Smylee for making our wedding fantastic!
We live in and got married in Greenville, SC, and the small mileage fee for them to travel from Charlotte was well worth it. They are extremely professional, and from our first video call with the company to our final breakdown of details with DJ Smylee the week before the wedding, we knew we were in good hands.
DJ Smylee handled our ceremony, dinner, and reception music and did a great job introducing the wedding party and the speakers giving toasts. Split Second Sound also provided our officiant with a mic, which was very helpful. We got the lights with the package, which made for a really nice atmosphere.
Our music selections were handled perfectly, and DJ Smylee created the perfect playlists moving everyone from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The dance party playlist was incredible. We and our guests had a blast! Thank y’all for all your assistance making our wedding a truly epic celebration!

Our Wedding

We had the absolute best experience with DJ Smylee (Chanel Crosskey) from Split Second Sound at our wedding! From the very beginning, she was warm, easy to communicate with, and incredibly intentional about every detail of our day. She took the time to understand the kind of atmosphere we wanted and completely delivered—creating an open, fun, and unforgettable setting that felt so us. Dj Smylee is one of the best DJs I’ve ever heard and watching her do transitions was so incredibly fun.

DJ Smylee kept everyone on the dance floor all night long—young and old, everyone was having an amazing time! She even took videos of fun and special moments from the night. She was going so hard that some of my friends started doing splits 😂😂. One of the most special moments was the reflection dance she suggested, something we hadn’t planned but ended up being one of our favorite parts of the entire night. It gave us a quiet, beautiful moment to soak everything in, and we’re so grateful she encouraged us to do it.

If you're looking for someone who truly cares, reads the room perfectly, and brings genuine joy to your celebration, DJ Smylee is the one. Thank you for making our wedding so incredibly special!

Highly recommend! DJ Gio crushed it!

My wife and I booked Split Second Sound for our wedding on 5/10/25, and the experience absolutely exceeded our expectations! Throughout the entire process, whether it be discovery and information gathering, picking and communicating with our DJ, and then the event itself, everything was top notch. We booked DJ Gio (Giovanni Dario) after watching his rooftop mix video, which was super fire btw. Soon after, we were in contact with him discussing our favorite types of music & things that we wanted to hear at the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance floor. Gio took all of our suggestions deeply into consideration, and came out swinging on our wedding day! He really curated the entire night perfectly to our music taste, and had the dance floor bumping the entire night. He was so smooth with it, everyone kept coming up to us saying how awesome it was. We could tell he put a ton of time and effort into making the vibe of our night perfect for us. I don’t have enough good things to say about the process as a whole, and specifically about Gio. Highly recommend!

Split Second Second is an experienced DJ company that never disappoints! Our bride was over the moon with the professionalism and fun that DJs Steve & Gunnar brought to their wedding at the Renaissance Hotel in November. They know exactly what song to play when in order to the guests up and on their feet. The garter toss at this wedding was one of the funniest I have ever seen and their commentary at that moment made this wedding even more mentionable! I recommended this bride to this DJ company and will continue to recommend brides to them in the future.

Whenever I ask a couple who is doing the music for their ceremony and I hear "Split Second Sound" I am thrilled - and relieved, because I know the whole experience will not only be enhanced by experts in music and sound - but will be flawless! I have known Vinny and Diane Esposito since we entered the event industry way back in the 90's and always recommend them as my top choice. They are the consummate professionals - and extremely talented in choosing the right DJ to fit a couple's style and personality. Cannot recommend more highly!
