Gray and Sam are a dream team when it comes to creative projects. Their energy is unmatched with enthusiasm and creativity. Gray has done 3 video projects for my organization, and I can't recommend him enough. He listens to the vision, and takes my input into consideration without sacrificing quality. Hire this team! You won't regret it! -

Gray has been my go to videographer for years. He has filmed, directed, and edited several videos of mine and each time he nails it! Taking the time to get to know my vision, his style is collaborative but uniquely epic and cinematic. There is no doubt Gray is one of my favorite people to make art with on the planet! -

Sam and David made our day phenomenal! From the first call with Sam, I knew we had the right DJ. David picked up our date and communicated throughout the entire process. They worked with us as well as a separate band that played during happy hour. Their spreadsheet was perfect - they got our important songs as well as our general vibe. David KILLED IT at the reception and was the best emcee. If you're thinking of hiring A Beautiful Sound, just do it. You won't be disappointed. -

If you are looking for a personal and laid back planning experience and the ultimate dance party for your wedding look no further than Sam and Cliff! My husband and I got married at Palisades in May of 2023. We were looking for acoustic music for the ceremony, a trio for happy hour and a full band for the reception. Sam was super flexible and quick to respond as he worked with us throughout the planning process to understand our vision. On our wedding day, Sam played beautiful acoustic guitar for the ceremony and smoothly MCd our reception. Cliff and Sam and the rest of the trio started the party during happy hour. And for our the rest of the night, we had a full band that got all generations up and dancing - groovy, classic, and down right fun. I cannot recommend Sam and Cliff enough for epic accompaniment to your wedding! -

Sam is a wonderfully talented and easygoing performer. He was punctual, agreeable, and flexible, and not to mention a very gifted singer and musician. I would highly recommend him to perform for any wedding or event! -

Best Wedding DJ I've Ever Heard!
My husband and I are musicians and avid music fans, so we knew we wanted the best of the best for our wedding. We wanted someone who would be able to play soft, acoustic jazz for the ceremony, more fun, upbeat but still laid back music for the cocktail hour, and go hard during our dance portion of the wedding. We also didn't want someone who is too up in your face as an MC and didn't make the evening about them.
Sam was the most perfect person we could have ever hired for our day. He is quite literally the best wedding DJ I have ever heard - his transitions were flawless, his music choices were killer, and the dance floor was packed the entire night, even with the dance portion being longer than a normal wedding!
Sam was so thoughtful and respectful in all of our requests, of which I think we made a lot! We had very specific ideas in mind for our processional music and it was an absolute dream. He is an incredible singer, and our cocktail hour was so special because he crooned to us the entire time with soulful, fun tunes. We even had a pipe dream idea of singing a fairly obscure, unknown song for all of our guests, and Sam lead the helm on acoustic guitar and absolutely nailed it!
And to top it all off, Sam is just an incredible person in general. He is so laid back, comfortable and confident with his craft, and is very enthusiastic about his job. You can tell that he really loves what he does, and it makes a difference.
100/10 would recommend hiring Sam. You really will not find a better person to soundtrack your day. -

Sam was absolutely amazing and made our dreams a reality. He played accoustic guitar for our ceremony, sang and played during cocktail hour, and then DJ'd for our reception. I never thought I would be able to get a DJ who could do all 3 for us. It was everything we wanted. Thanks Sam, for everything! -

DJ and musician
Sam was an incredible DJ & musician, who worked through very difficult circumstances as our outdoor wedding was severely rained out. He kept a positive attitude and brought the party back to life as our drenched wedding guests made their way to the reception. He played live music during dinner that was absolutely beautiful - couldn't be happier with his DJ selections! Thank you Sam for making our wedding so incredible! -

Marena S. Sent on 05/13/2023Tim Snider was amazing! Fantastic live music
A Beautiful Sound connected us with Tim Snider, an amazing solo musician (violinist and singer). We were so lucky to find Tim - our original musician had cancelled on us, but Tim was flexible and responsive for joining on short notice. And we couldn't have been happier! His sense of timing and mood was ideal for our smaller outdoor ceremony, and his live music performance was definitely a highlight for our guests at the reception. He smoothly DJ'd our song list as well. Highly highly recommend, Tim is awesome to work with and brings great energy for a wedding. -

He did a nice mix of hits alongside our playlist and some of his own music on a country style violin. True artist. -

We were luckily enough to book Sam Ravenna as a vendor through our wedding planner. He was easy going through the whole process and when we had to postpone our wedding 4 days before because of the smoke in Tahoe, he not only came down to do perform/DJ for the celebration in the Bay Area but did all again for us luckily 6 weeks later in October. He is multi talented from instrumental music for our ceremony, singing during the cocktail hour and DJ's for dancing. All the guest though he was one of the best DJ's they heard and would highly recommend booking Sam for any for any event, especially Weddings.

Mike S. Sent on 11/01/2021Wonderful experience
We hired Sam Ravenna as our wedding DJ and couldn't have been happier with the results. Not only did he learn our bespoke songs to play live on guitar for the ceremony, but he also made sure what was played was what we wanted. We had specific songs we wanted and artist we wanted to avoid and he navigated guest-requests with grace–letting them know that the Bride and Groom had set preferences and he needed to honor our requests. We also wanted to give Sam the freedom to create a natural flow and energy by linking songs he felt like created the desired mood; he crushed it. So many people were on the dance floor due to his craft and expertise.
We are so happy we chose him for our wedding. -

Sam was an amazingly fun addition to my bachelorette party. I danced so much my body hurt the next day! He played a great mix of songs we’d requested and his own suggestions. Such a great time!
