    We loved working with Peter. He was very attentive and so awesome to work with. He is very low-key, but knows the music that will get people dancing. Our dance floor was packed during the wedding, and everyone commented on how great he is.

    DJ Peter brought the PARTY!

    As a baseline high-stress person, wedding planning was a lot for me. What I loved about DJ Peter when I first talked to him was that at some point in our initial conversation he gently interrupted my rant about everything I didn't want, and everything that people were pressuring us to consider, to say, "Well, I'm here to help you make your wedding an amazing party. So tell me what sounds fun to you." It was the first time while evaluating vendors that I remembered that our wedding was actually a party, instead of an interminable list of logistics. So we happily hired Peter, and boy oh boy did he deliver.
    He provided the sound for our outdoor ceremony, outdoor hors d'oeuvres, and indoor reception. He was professional, timely, respectful, kind, and wonderful. He set everything up quickly and seamlessly and we had exactly what we needed. He was also very flexible about the fact that we moved cross country the month before our wedding, so we were way behind on finalizing song choices, readings, and speeches.
    And then the PARTY. When I talked to Peter he told us that he usually only plans one song in advance, to be flexible enough to react to what the guests are responding to. And it worked so well! The dance floor was packed for three straight hours. It was a miracle no one passed out from dancing so hard. He knew exactly when to sprinkle in my family's please play songs. I also didn't notice this at all, but afterwards, when SO MANY PEOPLE came up to me to compliment the DJ, people mentioned that he had walked out from behind the sound system regularly to ensure he had a view of the entire dance floor.
    My only complaint is that I think when all is said and done I got more compliments about DJ Peter than I did about my dress, which is not how I thought the ratio would go :D
    110% would absolutely recommend.

    DJ Pete - Fantastic DJ!

    We planned our wedding in 6 months and knew we quickly need to book a DJ. We were so lucky that Pete was the first DJ we met with. From the moment we met with Pete, we liked him right away. During our first meeting, he took the time to answer all our questions, from how to keep the dance floor busy, and how to handle COVID protocols.

    He was a true professional and a pleasure to work with. He was gracious enough to help us understand the natural fluctuation of wedding plan. Pete offered and made himself available to answer any questions, especially as our wedding approached.

    He also gave us a lot of really helpful suggestions on when different activities such as the first dance, toasts, etc. could take place, and on musical selections! He also worked really well with the jazz musicians we had from the cocktail hour into dinner. It was a seamless transition that made dinner really fun.

    A Pete's suggestion, we included uplighting based on the size of the space and number of guests. This was BIG hit with our guests and it added a great energy/vibe to the dance floor!!!

    We had small wedding (35 people) so we thought the dance floor would have its ebbs and flow, but DJ Pete kept the party going. The dance floor was packed the entire night!! One of the highlights we still keep hearing from our guests was how much they enjoyed the music/DJ.

    If you have a chance, hire Pete as your DJ for your wedding or any other event where you want people to dance the night away! You and your guests will have such an amazing time. He really made our wedding a special event and we can't thank him enough!!!

    Just WOW! I am beyond happy with my experience with sound choice and DJ Erin! We booked sound choice for uplights, photo-booth and dj and they delivered on every service. My guests loved the booth and all the fun props to get silly and our reception room was a dream with the glow with the lights. And during the dancing the lights moved to the music and made the dance floor even more energized. Speaking of dance floor, DJ Erin kept our dance floor full ALL. NIGHT. LONG! I can't say enough about her professionalism, knowledge, and the overall ease she brought to the process. She made the night magic and kept the focus on us! All of our guests were wowed and said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Thank you sound choice and DJ Erin. We'll definitely be calling you for any future events we host!

    Peter was the DJ for my New Year's Eve wedding and he really made the night! He knew exactly what songs to play and when to play them to keep everyone up dancing the entire night. I had so many compliments from party goers how great the music was and I couldn't have been happier with how the night went music wise. He does a great job, is really easy to work with and I would highly recommend him.

    Everything We Hoped For And More!

    I would gladly recommend Sound Choice Events to anyone I know who is planning on having a wedding, party, or gathering of any kind. They are attentive to every detail, and genuinely eager to ensure that your "perfect party" comes to life. My wife and I feel so grateful that we found them to DJ our wedding, where several people came up to us and complimented the quality and attentiveness of their work. I can't recommend them enough!! Truly a 10 out of 10.

    Peter Haulsey was by far the best DJ I have ever come by. He was so professional and easy to work with. Most importantly, he was a huge reason why the wedding went so smoothly. He was extremely attentive to our wants and needs. He remembered to play every song we wanted to hear as well as play songs that pleased everyone at the wedding. My husband and I are total music snobs and we nervous about hiring a cheesy, DJ, and I must say Peter exceeded all our expectations. The dance floor was literally packed the entire night. All our guests were commenting on how they haven't danced that long in as long as they can remember. He also was very easy going as far as the timing of the night went, and gave helpful suggestions. He also checked in a few times with us to make sure we were happy with how everything was going. Without any hesitation, I would reccomend Peter! Thank you so much Peter!

    Peter was fantastic! All of our guests raved about the music at our May 30th wedding at Atlantica in Cohasset, MA. He was organized and helped us a lot with planning out the flow of the day. He really listened to what we wanted in a DJ and we couldn't have been more pleased with how the wedding went.

    Great and Thoughtful DJ Team

    Peter and Kevin were so great to work with. They were always responsive and were so insightful in helping my wife and me to plan out the audiovisual needs for our wedding. The Sound Choice Events team was extremely professional and thoughtful, and my wife and I loved working with them.

    Peter is the best. From our first meet, to the preparation meeting 2 weeks before wedding, to all the email back and forth, to the final wedding day, Peter is fast in response, knowledgeable, resourceful, flexible and simply is all you can imagine of for your big day DJ. During preparation i.e. song choice, and timeline process, we were stuck and couldn't make decision, and Peter patiently ask about our preferences in daily life, closely listened to us, then came up with really good recommendations, and it worked out great.
    We had a very quiet guest group, Peter managed to lift the atmosphere during reception, everyone loved the 'sing a song of love, and kiss' game, and it was so much fun. He proactively checked in with us on how things were going and anything we liked or didn't like during the wedding, and he made swift changes upon hearing our feedback, which is very thoughtful and we do appreciate.

    Thank you Peter for being our wedding DJ, we were so lucky to have you as part of our wedding.

    We hired DJ Peter to do our wedding on June 1st - and are beyond pleased with the way everything turned out. Peter was SO helpful and did a fantastic job moving the reception along, and working with our crowd to create a spectacular party environment. He was attentive, but unobtrusive - and listened to exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend using Sound Choice Events, and DJ Peter for your event. We are very happy with Peter and his company.

    For our wedding on 9/2/17, we performed a search online for DJs that had worked at our chosen venue (Oceanview of Nahant). Our search led us to Sound Choice Events and DJ Peter Hallisey. Our experience with Sound Choice Events was top notch from start to finish. In our initial query, Peter was very responsive to our emails. My then-fiancee and I had a preliminary meeting with Peter (before signing any contract), where he heard our ideas and provided many useful insights to help us in our early planning. As we drew closer to the wedding date, Peter helped us fill out a very detailed planning itinerary to make sure every event and action would happen when it was supposed to happen on the wedding day. And the week of the actual wedding, we had one last "quality assurance" call with Peter to make sure we were on the same page, which exemplifies the quality of service of Sound Choice Events.

    ...so on the actual wedding day, things went perfectly. Having worked at Oceanview for previous weddings, Sound Choice Events (Peter) was already familiar with the venue and knew when to arrive and set up equipment. Everything was set up, from equipment to the sound check for the ceremony musicians and speakers with time to spare. The ceremony went off without a hitch. After the ceremony, we transitioned to the Cocktail Hour/Lunch Reception. This is where Sound Choice Events (DJ Peter) demonstrated their greatest value. DJ Peter kept things moving along by getting people to come up and surround us for the first dance and making announcements. Having an emcee who knows how to dial up the energy and get people up and moving is very important. For our wedding, we had excellent weather at a venue that is known for its outdoor views on good weather days. Yet, the indoor dance floor was packed when it came time for dancing and the DJ had a big part in creating that atmosphere. All in all, we could not be any happier with our decision to go with Sound Choice Events!

    We had a fantastic experience! The personal service and attention to detail was all we could hope for. The music selection was just what we wanted and the whole evening was executed flawlessly. Everybody who came to our wedding was still talking about how great it was days and weeks later. I would gladly recommend them to everyone I know.

    Amazing DJ and a perfect day

    Peter was our amazing DJ and really made our wedding experience very special. He is very professional, organized, helpful, and knows how to get a crowd to dance. We enjoyed working with him with his easy-going approach and helpful advice. He worked well with our cocktail pianist to transition the reception from the historical house to the beautiful tent setting. We were married on a 90-degree afternoon and our guests danced the entire day. The wedding guests loved the music and had great things to say about Peter. Our biggest thanks to Peter on a wonderful day!

    Summer, Multicultural Wedding

    We highly recommend Peter at Sound Choice Events! We are so glad we went with him for our wedding. He is incredibly professional, thoughtful, and just knows what he is doing - and that is what you want for your wedding! He has so much experience and had great insights about everything, from microphone vs. lapel mic for the ceremony, timing of music and transitions, and was able to improvise when the caterer switched things up for us regarding the timing of the meals coming out and our toasts/speeches. He made the evening run so seamlessly, especially the ceremony. It was outdoors in a garden setting, and Peter thought through everything including the potential impact of wind, trees, and the nearby fountain - overall making sure there were no noise disruptions or hiccups. He guided us through the wedding process, and we appreciated that so much. He was also able to accommodate us our multi-lingual guests by including Chinese songs - especially the ones requested by our parents for the father-daughter/mother-son dances. Go with Peter! You won’t regret hiring a professional for an important day in your life.

    Awesome experience

    Sounds Choice Events did an absolutely fantastic job for our wedding. Peter was very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable throughout our entire wedding process on anything related to music, lighting, speeches, photo booth setup, etc. He and his team did an amazing job with the music selection, DJ/MC, and the photo booth that everyone loved. Highly recommend Sound Choice Events!

    Perfection! Peter had worked the venue before, so he knew exactly what equipment was needed and where to set everything up. He was really friendly and had great advice throughout the planning process. Peter has been doing it for a long time, so he had pretty much every song imaginable, but he was willing to get additional songs if he didn't have what we wanted. He read the crowd wonderfully and kept the party going.

    We met with DJ Erin the week of our event and were completely confident that we made the right choice. She thought our "do not play" list was hilarious because, as she said, "I would never play those songs!" But she was completely willing to play whatever we wanted, including some oddball stuff like the Star Wars Cantina song. She played a great mix that kept everyone dancing all night, checked in with us to make sure we were happy, and had a great attitude. Also, NO SMARM, which was key for us!

    We could not have been happier with DJ Peter every step of the way in planning for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah, and obviously culminating in the BIG DAY. Peter was very attentive to our's and our daughter's wishes and needs, and couldn't have been more pleasant and responsive to deal with. He'd offer suggestions, but was quite clear in wanting to do only what we were 100% comfortable with. We received a ton of tremendously positive feedback on the DJ at our Bat Mitzvah, and continue to receive (unsolicited) compliments on DJ Peter now some 3 weeks since our event. He kept a room of 120 (60 of them kids/teens) moving, energized and engaged for 5 hours. Absolutely no hesitation in using or recommending his services again

    I would give Peter 10 stars if i could! Peter paid close personal attention to my requests, and spent time prior to the event tracking down every song that I mentioned. He was completely in tune with the vibe that I wanted for my day, and checked in over the course of the event to make sure that I was happy. He was flexible with time, and willing to follow my cues to wind down or keep going. Lots of my guests commented on what a great job he did. AND, to top it all off, his rates are an incredible value! I honestly could not have been happier! Thank you Peter :)

    Beyond Amazing

    Peter was so helpful. We surprised my son and his beautiful bride with Peters services. Peter do the wedding and had a photo booth. What a hit. Not one left the dance floor all night. He kept the party going. He got the young and the old dancing. Everyone had so much fun that we didn’t want the night to end. Thank you Peter for making the party a blast.

    Party Elevated by Sound Choice

    We hired the services of Peter from Sound Choice Events for our 6/8/2019 wedding at the Oceanview of Nahant. From the get-go, Peter was excellent to work with. We met with him in the Summer of 2018 to get the ball rolling and gave him an idea of what we were looking for in terms of the style of our wedding. Peter was totally onboard with our vision. He offered his expertise where it was needed, and we trusted him enough to give him creative license over the general flow and feel of the wedding process. He did not disappoint, as he oversaw our wedding day music with fantastic expertise and professionalism. As for the time leading up to the wedding, Peter did a great job staying in touch with us throughout the planning process. He would check in with us to see how our planning in general was going, and offered up helpful advise where and when he was able to. He did a fantastic job all around, and we highly recommend his very reasonably priced services for anyone looking for an excellent wedding DJ!!

    I loved working with Peter and Sound Choice Events. Peter did an amazing job at our wedding, he clearly has tons of experience and knows exactly what to play for any crowd. Our guests had the best time at our wedding and the dance floor was never empty the entire night. I also enlisted Sound Choice for our photobooth and videography. Peter helped to map out the schedule that maximized the time we booked for our photobooth and our photobooth attendant was awesome and so helpful, she did a great job with our scrapbook and made sure that it got to me safely at the end of the night. Our Videographer worked very hard to get every shot on our big day. If you want to bundle your wedding services, Sound Choice is a great way to go, Peter worked with us to stay in budget and we still got everything we wanted and with top quality! I highly recommend Peter and the Sound choice team.

    Kevin S. was amazing! We requested a wide array of music that we wanted to hear ranging from country to classic rock and we were not disappointed!! Our guests were dancing all night and even my husband and I who are not big dancers were out on the dance floor all night long! We had a rowdy crowd that made the venue shake and they requested some songs (we are not fans of) that Kevin made fit in our playlist perfectly! It was an amazing night that our friends and family are still saying was the best night ever! Without Sound Choice and Kevin’s amazing energy, we do not know if we would have enjoyed the day as much as we did. Thank you Sound Choice for everything!!
