    Evan is a stellar DJ

    We were thrilled to have Evan DJ our son's Bar Mitzvah. He was proactive, full of energy, and anticipated all of our questions. We will definitely use him again for future events!

    Great Wedding DJ

    Island sound did a great job at our wedding! Tracy was fantastic for the duration of our event. He was on-time, professional, and kept the party going all night. We are so grateful for the excellent service we received and all our guests had a blast.

    Evan was absolutely amazing!!

    We got married in October and didn't initially have any solid plans for what we wanted our DJ/MC to do. Evan was super helpful and had excellent communication throughout the whole planning process. On the day of, he kept everything running smoothly and the party going! Our guests raved about his energy and willingness to get on the dance floor to instruct the line dances. We strongly recommend Evan and Island Sound

    Great to work with and really got our musical taste

    Frankie from Island Sound was a pleasure to work with. He met with us several times to understand our musical taste and really delivered at our reception. He played songs I loved that I hadn't even put on the list! They have a great online tool for choosing the music for all the important moments. Very professional from start to finish.

    Amazing dj!

    Island Sound did an amazing job at our wedding. Frankie was so nice and professional and fun! He executed everything perfectly the day of the wedding and everyone had an absolute blast. He honored all the music we really wanted played and made some incredible selections of his own. Honestly, having a good DJ is one of the most important elements of a wedding to make it a blast and Frankie + Island Sound really made our night. Most fun night I've ever had.

    Excellent DJ Service

    Had a fantastic experience with Island Sound and Video. Worked with Frankie Hagan who was extremely helpful in assisting us plan and coordinate all the auditory details for our event.
    Having not planned a wedding before there were many details we hadn't thought about or realized needed to have a song added or a choice made-- Frankie provided insightful guidance into how the flow of weddings go and walked us through all the nuances so that we could both customize the music choices to the things we liked but also have a broader selection of songs to engage attendees from all generations. And outside of specifically chosen songs, Frankie was able to take our most vague or obscure musical preferences, find unique songs from those genres/sources, and then skillfully blend them into some of your more typical wedding music, creating an atmosphere that felt both personal to us while also being appropriate for the mood/tone of the moment.
    Throughout the process, Frankie was prompt, professional, and very easy to work with. We are very glad we chose him and Island Sound and Video as the DJ service for our special day.

    Great Team!

    We had Peter and Rohit come and DJ our wedding. They were prompt and ready to setup at the time they said they would be there. They provided our officiant with a lapel mic and had speakers set up in the cocktail hour location as well as the reception. Their online planning tools make it extremely easy to communicate our song choices with them. We gave them liberty to pick songs they knew would get the guests and party going and they did just that! We also got uplighting from them and they worked with us to create a specific color that was perfect to math our wedding colors. They were wonderful DJ's and I highly recommend them for you wedding or event!

    Made it Happen!

    Island Sound, especially Nate, was amazing! Wedding vendors and brides alike both had an extremely challenging year in 2020. As a #CovidBride I'm extremely thankful for people like Island Sound who were flexible, supportive and professional the entire way through. At one point I thought we were going to have to cancel the ceremony, however we reduced our attendance and went ahead with the big day a few months later!

    After having to reschedule our wedding 4 times during COVID I made the mistake of not updating all my vendors on the new date at the end of July. Island Sound was one of them! The day of the wedding I realized the mistake and Nate went above and beyond to ensure I still had a DJ. Vendors like this deserve massive applause! Thank you Nate - you made the night!!

    Very Happy Clients

    We hired Island Sound to provide video for our daughter’s wedding on the recommendation of our photographer, and we couldn’t be more pleased. The quality of the video is excellent and the highlight video is a thing to treasure and share. Our own wedding video from almost 30 years ago was terrible and some of the footage lost by the videographer, so it is wonderful that our daughter has this amazing memory to enjoy again and again. Us too! Communication was good and turn around time was faster than we expected. Many thanks to Island Sound.

    Look no further than Evan Carmusin!

    I can not even begin to rate Evan and Island Sound highly enough. Evan was easily one of the most responsive vendors I worked with through the entire process. He was not only supportive of all of our ideas, but he had some amazing contributions himself. The entire show went off without a hitch, which is not surprising considering Evan's background in theater. We did a singing number for our 'first dance' and he was patient with us through 45 minutes of soundcheck before everything began. He will make you feel comfortable and is not shy about expressing his excitement for your special day. He bonded with not only us, but with our family members too! Do yourself a favor and book him (along with the Magic Mirror Photo Booth) as soon as you can!

    Outstanding

    We had DJ Evan on the mic and he was absolutely great! He catered to every single one of our needs and more. He made the wedding so much. He made the initial set up and visit super easy and helped us pick songs for every moment. He was even able to coordinate playing a song for my sister's maid of honor speech while she is living in London. We will definitely use Evan again for any future needs.

    Best DJ ever

    When we met with Evan I knew he was going to help us throw a great party! He even lead everyone in some of the group dances! He’s a super guy and knows how to throw a good party! We had an international mix of people and he played songs from several musical/ dance traditions!

    Top Notch!

    Island Sound and Frankie were an absolute pleasure to work with. Frankie really took time to understand what we wanted our wedding theme and night to be like and he went above and beyond that! Frankie was fun, outgoing, and professional. We will highly recommend Island Sound and Frankie to anyone!

    We were so happy with Island Sound at our wedding! They were extremely professional and made sure to make our day special! We were able to request a few songs they didn't have already, which they obliged us with. They were also fantastic emcees!
