    Great Experience With Capitol City Sound

    Using Chris Leas and Capitol City Sound for our wedding DJ may have been the least-stressful part of wedding planning! As soon as I reached out to Chris and confirmed he was available for our date, I was fairly hands-off. I know other couples who made the entire playlist for their weddings...I was able to talk to Chris about the type of music we liked and he handled everything else. I didn't have to worry about any logistics or coordinating with our venue - he handled everything. We had a great experience and would recommend Chris and Capitol City Sound for your event!

    We worked with Chris Leas at Capitol City Sound for our DJ services and Photo Booth for our wedding in June 2018.
    As to DJ services, Chris was AMAZING! He was very careful to get our requests and plans for the reception square away ahead of time. He played great music that had everyone dancing and having a blast all night! I couldn't ask for anything more!
    I was a little disappointed with the quality of the photo booth printouts, and might request a sample before booking them for that service. The photo booth set up was very impressive, they had fun props, and the photo booth attendant was very helpful.

    Chris Leas was a dream to work with. He was flexible in setting aside time to meet and discuss our plan (we were in a different time zone). When we let him know we didn't have much of plan and needed some guidance, he made solid suggestions that we ended up incorporating into our day. He was super accommodating to our last minute requests and was SO easy going when it took us a while to nail down the specific songs we had in mind.

    We gave him a few genres we wanted him to play at the reception and he nailed it. The dance floor was packed until the last second and everyone was very impressed with how well he kept the night moving along.

    The day of, he was high energy and low maintenance. We simply pointed him to his booth and he took care of the rest! If you want to have a seamless experience with a true professional, book Capitol City Sound DJs. Chris will take care of you!!

    Chris from Capital City Sound was our DJ, and he brought a second DJ along to help him. He was incredibly responsive to every single email I sent, and replied to even emails I sent at 4 am within the hour. (It was incredible, I don't know how he did it). He has a worksheet that helps you think of all the songs you will need, which was very helpful. He offered great suggestions on songs when we did not know what to chose for parts of the ceremony. He obtained the songs we wanted when he did not have them. He kept the dancing going all night. If I ever need a DJ again, I will hire him.

    We couldn't have been more happy with our Capitol City Sound experience! DJ Scott did an amazing job, and made sure all of our guests had an absolute blast. Our dance floor was hopping all night long! I also had a few last minute song revisions, and specific requests, all of which he remembered. I would highly recommend them for your wedding!

    Scott Stem was our DJ for our wedding and reception and he was great! He remembered all of our requests and knew exactly how to keep things moving and to make guests happy! We had so many compliments about how much fun our wedding was and we believe we owe much of that to Scott. Two of my cousin's also used Capital City Sound for their weddings, which is why I decided to use them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    We absolutely loved working with Chris of Capitol City Sound! We planned our wedding from out of town, which always adds an extra layer of stress. From our first interactions, Chris was responsive, kind, and organized. Different from many other DJ services we looked at, the prices for Capitol City Sound’s services were clearly stated and explained on their website. The worksheets they provide really helped us in planning our music for both ceremony and reception. Chris was flexible as our plans changed, and was very accessible and reassuring in the days leading up to our event. Most importantly, Chris KILLED IT at the reception. We received countless compliments from our guests on the playlist and flow of the night (especially the Kesha mashup he put together). One of the organizers at our venue told us we had the highest proportion of guests dancing that she had ever seen at a wedding. At one point fewer than five of our 120 guests were still seated. We had a blast and our guests did too! I would highly, highly recommend Chris to my friends, family, and really anyone who needs a DJ ever.

    Chris and Scott were amazing to work with!! A few minor delays were overlooked but corrected quickly. The music was amazing and everyone was dancing. We had friends that were going to leave and stayed 30 minutes longer because the music was so good. We had a great time!!!

    Chris did a fantastic job DJing our wedding reception at The Boathouse. He was always very responsive during the planning process and was flexible with any ideas we had. All of our guests had a great time at the reception and I attribute that to Chris' ability to get the guests out on the dance floor. We were open to song requests from guests (highly suggest) and Chris did a great job meeting those requests. Capitol city sound does a wonderful job at reasonable prices.

    Scott and Chris went above and beyond for our daughter's reception. We gave them a list of songs and I think they played everyone and more! The lights, fog, strobes and speakers were perfect!!! Scott did an awesome job at DJ ! We highly recommend Capitol City Sound!!!

    Chris Snodgrass was our wedding DJ a month ago and was better than we could have asked for. Kept things going very smoothly all night. He played the music I requested during dinner and cocktails, then did a great job picking the music for dancing. Perfect!

    Wouldn’t change a thing! Chris Leas of Capital City Sound Dj’d our outdoor wedding in very rural Centerburg, OH (by recommendation of my friend who is a wedding planner and sees tons of Columbus-area DJs). He had no problem keeping the dance floor full. My husband and I both used to bartend in Chicago for years, so we’ve seen plenty of DJs who are just oblivious to what’s working and what’s not. Chris doesn’t miss a beat and knows what works. Trust him and let him do his job.

    We’re also both pretty particular about our music. He was genuinely interested in our taste and suggested I provide a list of around 40 songs (if I wanted) that we like, or that we would want to hear from the moment guests arrived to the moment they left. This was all he needed to determine our style, but he was also great about considering everyone else who attended – it’s not just about the bride and groom!

    His paperwork is thorough and ensures he will have everything covered – special announcements, do-not-play list, even bridal party name pronunciations to avoid awkward slip-ups. I also think it’s worth mentioning that he was responsive in emails and very flexible when I wanted to make a last-minute change in the ceremony songs. No big deal. He is a true professional. We even gave him some extra cash to stay an hour longer. People didn’t want to stop dancing!

    Highly recommend!

    I was so pleased with Chris and Capitol City at my daughter's recent wedding. He was very professional and really kept things moving smoothly all evening. I heard sooooo many comments about how great the music selection was and most of that was left up to him. He also worked well with the photographer and the venue. I definitely recommend Capitol City Sound!!

    Chris Leas from Capital City Sound was incredible. He was extremely professional and and flexible. We had been to a wedding that Chris had DJed three years ago and knew he was the perfect one for our reception. The dance floor was filled the whole night. I would highly recommend Chris Leas from Capital City Sound.

    I truly believe that the music at a wedding can completely make or break the party - and for this reason I am so glad we went with Capitol City Sound for our DJ. Scott was our DJ and he was great! He met with the bridal party prior to our entrance and went through the entire timeline to make sure everything was perfect. We sent him a "must play" and "do not play" list and he made sure the music was perfect. The dance floor was full all night! We also had an acoustic guitar player play at the wedding and Scott and Capitol City Sound were so great to collaborate with him to get everything set up for his performance. Scott was also a great MC, moving the night along but never talking too much. Our wedding was such a great party and we can definitely thank Scott and Capitol City Sound for this!

    Our DJ, Chris S. was FANTASTIC! He listened to all of our ideas and helped us plan the perfect reception. His music choices were a direct reflection of our tastes and he took all of our requests. We had a strict timeline for the evening and he kept us right on tract, acting as the perfect master of ceremonies. Our photographers and venue hosts even complimented his ability to keep the guests engaged throughout the evening as well as create a flawless reception. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Capitol City Sound to any couple for their special day!

    Chris Leas with Capitol City was our wedding DJ and has done a fantastic job since day one with us. They were always accommodating for everything we needed, and did their job even when i failed to do mine - I turned in a video the day before the wedding, and Chris went above and beyond to make sure everything went through for us. At the reception, Chris made sure to keep everyone on the dance floor until the end, playing both Brazilian music and American music to keep everyone happy. I have no complaints - I could say my ceremony music was not as loud as I would like, but I never told them about my preferences for that, so they could not have guessed. I highly recommend this vendor.

    He was my knight in shining armor the day of our wedding! He seriously took on so much that I didn't even expect him to do. There was confusion with the seating chart and he took care of that. He also got everyone up and having fun which is sometimes hard to do when most of the guests are 60+. I would definitely recommend this company.

    There are a lot of decisions to make when planning a wedding, but the best decision we made by far was hiring Chris Snodgrass to DJ. The DJ has a huge responsibility and can make or break your day. Chris did an unbelievable job! We utilized his services for both the ceremony and reception. He did EVERYTHING we asked him to do. A lot of guests commented on food, venue, flowers, etc, but the consensus by all guests was that we had an amazing DJ. My wife and I were a little nervous that no one would be dancing, but he had everyone dancing and having a great time until midnight. He had the knowledge and experience to make it a great time for all. The quality of their sound system was unmatched. If we had it to do over again, we wouldn't change a thing. Great job Chris!!!!!

    Chris Snodgrass was a pleasure to work with prior to the wedding, making everything very simple. During the wedding and reception he was very professional while being extremely nice. He kept things flowing, giving my groom and I a warning a couple minutes before something was to happen, and allowed extra time before if we weren't ready. Transitions were seemless and he kept people dancing. We even received several compliments from guests about him.

    You will love working with Capital City Sound! Chris Lease was the DJ for my daughters wedding and he was fantastic. He was very responsive to our phone calls and questions, extremely professional , warm, friendly and knows how to keep the dance floor filled. We had such a wide variety of ages at our reception and the dance floor was full the entire night. They provided the music for cocktail hour, dinner and the rest of the evening and we had tons of compliments ! They will help make your special day one you will always remember!
