    We danced all night!

    Steve was awesome! He’s a great emcee and DJ. Our dance floor stayed full all night and everyone had a blast! We also did a fun thing where we stayed on the dance floor and every table came up to take a picture with us. Steve made it so fun and like a challenge to have it done within one song. It was such a cool experience! We 10/10 recommend him for any event. Thanks again Steve!

    We loved First Coast Sound!

    We really appreciated Steve’s approach of reading the room and being flexible with the music!

    The music and speeches and vows went off without a hitch. The day before, we even had a change as to who was giving toasts AND some of the music that the wedding party was entering to, but Steve rolled with it!

    The music during dinner was definitely our vibe, and the reception music kept people dancing! Mr. Brightside followed by YMCA followed by the Weeknd were weirdly perfect choices to get the ENTIRE group (older family too!) dancing and having fun and then leaving the floor for our private dance. First Coast was very affordable, especially with the photobooth and our discount from working with a coordinator from the Wedding Authority. We loved them!

    Best Experience!

    Steve was fantastic and so easy to work with. During our first conversation prior to booking him, Steve was incredibly patient and genuinely got to know our interest in music so he could tailor the music towards our taste in music. Steve took into consideration that my husband gets easily overstimulated and helped us pick a package that fit our needs. He made both of us feel so comfortable that we had zero worries related to music on our wedding day. The music on our wedding day was perfect from start to finish. I worried whether or not a lot of guests would be dancing, however, the dance floor was full up until the last song! If you are on the fence about finding a DJ, do yourself a favor and book First Coast Sound, you won't be disappointed!

    Out of the World

    They are so great and super flexible. Steve, even worked with my Aunt/Officiant to add a recording into my ceremony from my Uncle who had passed away i was blown away by this surpise. He was made my night magical and was super flexible even when we moved around our special event (a Light Saber Duel) because my nephew was being a kid. 1000% would recommend.

    All in one production

    They played what we wanted, took request. Provided the lighting and extra features such as photobooth which our guests definitely took full advantage. They provide the ceremony music, mics and and kept the dance floor full throughout the night would definitely recommend.

    Amazing!!!!

    From the first phone call conversation with Steve I knew it was going to be the best night! He was so laid back but also very serious about his business! He listened and made it so easy to know exactly what I wanted and how to make sure he had everything he needed! Wish I could do it all over again and hire him again! Best night and DJ ever!!!

    Steve was great!

    Steve played the guitar for my ceremony and cocktail hour, and then was the DJ for the reception! I got so many compliments about the music!

    Worth every cent!

    You know how people say a DJ can make or break a reception or party? They aren’t wrong, but thankfully Steve with FCS nailed it!!! He delivered an amazingly fun reception that had people up and dancing. Steve was professional, patient, and proficient! I told him what I wanted and what I didn’t want and he gave me everything I wanted! He understood what I wanted to accomplish, how I wanted things to go and he executed it beautifully! He did additional up-lighting and it truly set the ambiance that I wanted to achieve. He played everything I wanted and nothing I didn’t- which was a huge thing to me! I really can’t say enough posting things about Steve but I can tell you, you will not regret hiring him! Absolutely fabulous! I am a very very very happy bride! Thank you for making my reception exactly what I wanted it to be!

    Thank you DJ Danny!

    DJ Danny was great! He played all our requests, which were many, and kept the party going! The dancing never stopped! Throughout the whole process, Steve responded quickly to all my questions, and made the entire experience easy.

    Amazing Music. Amazing Night. Amazing DJ!

    I would recommend Steve with FCS to anyone. The balance of professionalism and fun was perfect for our event. I fully trusted him to execute on the big day and knew he would kill it and he did. The dance floor was never empty (not even close) and the party didn't stop! Seriously, thank you FCS!

    Best DJ Ever!

    Steve was exactly what we were looking for at our wedding. Even on our first conversation regarding services I felt connected to him immediately and knew he would be the DJ for us. He was professional and kept everything low stress. We had literally nothing to worry about. He followed our song requests perfectly and impressed our guests with his knowledge of music. Thank you First Coast Sound for helping make our wedding the best party we've ever had!

    A True Class Act

    Steve was incredible from the moment we first reached out to him. We were a little late to the game in selecting vendors, as we were not sure if we would have to postpone again (we had already postponed once due to Covid) and were afraid to plan too much too soon. From our first conversation, we knew we were in good hands as Steve took a genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple and did not bat an eye at our fast-approaching wedding date. His attention to detail meant that we got to select the perfect song for every moment and nothing went overlooked. On top of the special songs that we selected, he also took to heart the kinds of music we like to listen to and played the most incredible playlist for dancing at our reception (and gladly took requests!). His setup was awesome, too, and looked great in the reception hall. We did not get to meet until the actual wedding (it was a destination wedding for us) and were blown away by his kind demeanor and utmost professionalism. Even our wedding coordinator said that he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I don't think I truly understood just how special the right music is to a wedding (I was just happy to have some music), but Steve really made our day extra special for us and I feel that all the stars aligned so that he could be a part of it.

    First Coast Sound is Incredible

    We found First Coast Sound on Wedding Wire when searching for a quality DJ at an affordable price. First Coast Sound has excellent reviews, and those are absolutely accurate. We met with Steve about 6 months before the wedding, and were sold within 30 minutes. Steve was absolutely accommodating and allowed us to customize the entire song list and stuck to our requests / style. He even provided last minute assistance with lighting for our pastor, and elegant uplighting using our wedding colors. Steve was absolutely PHENOMENAL, and we would recommend him for every wedding or event. He's super nice and attentive, which allowed our wedding day to be stress free. If you do not choose First Coast Sound, you are definitely missing out. Thank you, Steve!

    Steve the Savior

    Our DJ, Genius Entertainment, bailed on us less than a month before the wedding. We had already paid in full and had booked with them almost a year and a half out to secure our spot. They informed us they were sorry, but couldn't find a replacement, and refunded us with no explanations and a few sketchy suggestions for other guys (all of whom were booked). We panicked and went to our wedding planner, who immediately began shopping for a new DJ. Lo and behold, somehow she found First Coast, and Steve saved the day. He agreed to do it for almost the same price as Genius, despite the short notice, and drove all the way from Jacksonville to help us. Despite having never worked that specific venue before, he was very thorough, sending us all of these questionnaires and song suggestions so he could really be prepared, and even at the wedding itself, he confirmed all announcements with me before making them, which I appreciated. He read the room, anticipating when to change songs, how long to play them, what vibe to go with. He didn't have an easy task - our venue had 3 separate rooms he needed to maneuver - but Steve made it happen with a can-do attitude and enthusiasm that had even the old timers bopping along on the dance floor. He chose music that EVERYONE could dance to, and his smile was infectious. He even wished my mother a happy birthday! I could not recommend Steve highly enough - if you want a class act, this hero deserves your business.

    Just Perfect!

    First Coast Sound is great! We had so much fun dancing all night and Danny was such a great DJ. He played everything we love and the dance floor stayed full until the very end. Steve was very helpful and easy to work with when it came to helping us put together our playlist and timeline. Thanks for giving us the party of our dreams!

    So much fun!

    Steve did an amazing job DJing our wedding! He had a whole list with options for songs an a worksheet for every event of the wedding. He was very responsive with emails of any questions we had. We had specific songs we wanted for the ceremony and Steve had the exact ones we wanted! During the reception he played all the songs I wanted him to play since I put a request line on my RSVPS. When people requested a song he played it instantly! We danced all night and loved all the songs he played!

    Fantastic!

    Wow! Our wedding reception was a blast and our guests had a great time because the music was perfect! Steve was not only super professional, but when it comes to music he really knows what people like. As soon as we cut the cake the dance floor was packed and stayed that way for the rest of the night. So many of our friends commented on how great the DJ was throughout the night. He also made the planning very simple and the planning worksheets made it easy for us to customize our playlist. I highly recommend First Coast Sound for everyone having a wedding!

    The Best Ever!!!

    We had such a great time at our reception! Steve played all of our favorite songs and took requests from our friends all night. I’ve never had to hire a DJ before and I was pretty nervous about being able to find one that fit our style. Steve was awesome! He was so nice to deal with and made a lot of great suggestions when planning everything. I definitely recommend that you hire First Coast Sound for your wedding and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!

    Perfect ! Everything we were hoping for!

    First Coast Sound is a great DJ company! Steve the owner and main DJ is really talented at what he does and is super professional to work with. He helped us every step of the way to plan our playlist and introductions to make sure we had our dream reception. Everyone had a great time and I highly recommend booking them for your wedding!

    Steve was awesome! To start, his communication prior to the wedding is something I was amazed by. He replies to emails faster than anyone I know. Upon arrival, he was so nice and the music was on point. My family was crazy and he was so nice to all of us. Whether is was my dad grabbing the mic and having his own private mic or me totally blowing the schedule I gave him, he went with it with a smile! Seriously, if you're looking for a wedding DJ, hire this guy

    First Coast Sound did an awesome job at our wedding and was a pleasure to work with! Steve made it so easy for us to plan our music for every moment and had so many great suggestions when we needed help. On the big day he was there early and was completely setup for everything 2 hours before the ceremony started. The ceremony was perfect. Exactly what I imagined in my head! For the reception the music sounded awesome, the lighting and monogram looked fantastic, and he was a real pro at all of the MC stuff. We had so much fun and all of our friends and family had a blast! Thanks for an amazing wedding day First Coast Sound!

    First Coast Sound was a really great choice for our wedding! We were looking for a really cool DJ that fit with our style and we both knew Steve was the one after meeting him. Even though we didn’t know him it felt like we had one of our good friends DJing the wedding. His choice of songs were exactly what kind of songs we love and he was very professional as an MC as well. I could tell how much fun everyone was having and it seemed like he had the dance floor full all night long. Excellent job!

    We are really happy with our choice in booking First Coast Sound for our wedding! Steve was a pleasure to work with and was very professional in every way. Our ceremony was just perfect and the reception was absolutely awesome! He had everyone dancing and kept the dance floor full until the last song. He played all of the songs we asked for and the songs he chose were great. So many of our friends were commenting on how great the reception was and how much fun they had. Truly a great choice!
