Victoria Married on 05/14/2022The best DJ ever!
My fiancé and I found Sound Illusions through a referral from our photographer. Who doesn’t love a referral from another team who has seen the DJ in action? Manny was very responsive to all my messages and scheduled a call right away to see if it was a good fit. I could immediately feel his energy through the phone and knew this was the guy I wanted to DJ my wedding. He was very organized and really listened to what we wanted. He also suggested games he could play during dinner service to keep the guests engaged and the atmosphere light-hearted. It was a total hit! The night flowed so smoothly and I kept getting compliments all night (from the guests to the venue staffs) about how amazing he was. If you’re looking for an amazing DJ/emcee who goes above and beyond for you, then Manny is your guy. :) -

Brittany K. Married on 04/16/2022Incredible!
I cannot say enough about Manny! He is extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. From our first phone call, to the actual event, Manny was on top of all the details and made the entire process stress free. Everything from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception ran so smoothly, thanks to Manny. 45 minutes into our cocktail hour I started receiving multiple compliments from our guest about how amazing he was. We are so grateful to him. Our night would not have been as special without him! I will be recommending him to all my friends in the future! -

Tiffany C. Married on 10/08/2021Best dj/mc!
Manny was our DJ extraordinaire, MC for our wedding on 10/8. He is very experienced and very professional. He went ahead of time to check out our venue as it was a newer spot, came to the rehearsal dinner to do a sound check and coordinated with our wedding planner. We also loved the uplights and PhotoBooth his wife helped our guests with. They are a sweet team. Two previous brides/friends of mine in San Diego highly recommended him and he didn’t disappoint!! Manny played a great mix of Spanish and English songs, read the crowd well and helped us throw a great party! -

Joe L. Married on 09/21/2021Sound Illusions is Awesome!
We had the best experience (for the better part of 3 years, due to covid!) Working with Manny and (ultimately) his wife & could not be more appreciative of his/their friendliness, professionalism & quality of work. Manny was amazing in communicating, advising and suggesting as well as flexible in any/all aspects. Would certainly work with Sound Illustrations again! -

Charlotte R. Married on 09/12/2021Fun and Professional!
Manny made our wedding so fun! He kept everyone dancing all night long. I only made it to the bar ONCE because I was having such a blast on the dance floor. He really appealed to all ages and was a great MC throughout the whole night. I had friends arrive late and so they watched from a distance and they said they could hear the whole ceremony perfectly. Manny had great communication beforehand and was very professional. -

Joanne A. Married on 07/17/2021Best Wedding DJ Ever!
Manny is amazing! He went above and beyond! Everyone said how fun our wedding was, and that was in large part due to Manny. He kept the party going. We all loved how he dismissed tables to get their food by making them sing a song with love in it. He was very friendly and professional.The lighting and drapery he set up helped create the perfect ambiance. The online database of songs he used made it really easy to pick songs we liked and get ideas for other ones. He chatted with us multiple times to go over the order of events and make sure everything was the way we wanted. He was very flexible when we asked him to switch things up. He even went above and beyond by helping us deal with our venue people on the day of the wedding. It was super hot in our venue, and he went looking for the maintenance people to fix the AC issue. We really enjoyed having Manny at our special day and would recommend him to everyone. -

Hollie J. Married on 10/24/2020Just Hire Him
With everything happening in the world, Manny was absolutely amazing. I'm sort of hands off, and Manny helped fill in so many blanks with song suggestions. He also helped perfect my timeline. We've had so many complements about the music! -

Marcia R. Married on 11/02/2019So glad we hired Sound Illusions!
We feel so lucky to have been referred to Manny and to have hired him to be the DJ for our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding last weekend. He was so attentive to our needs and requests and extremely flexible with changes that we made up to the last day. He came to our home twice to meet with the family to tell us what he offered and what we could expect. He had regular email communication with the bride and groom and with me.
We really had no idea of the wide-reaching responsibilities of the DJ. He was the emcee of the evening, and he provided the sound system for the ceremony, including a microphone for the officiant, bride and groom that was perfect! No wind noise, complete clarity of every word they spoke and lovely background music.
When we arrived at the venue a couple of hours before the wedding, Manny himself was stringing lights on the patio that would be used for the cocktail hour and dancing later in the evening and he was setting up lights in the reception area that cast a beautiful glow on the walls.
We had everything and more with Manny. He is friendly, respectful, creative and accommodating. He added so much to our event and we couldn’t be happier or more grateful.

Hillary G. Married on 09/21/2019Favorite Wedding Vendor!
Manny is by far my favorite vendor I worked with throughout our wedding planning process! "DJ" was the only vendor that needed to be selected from a pre-approved list provided by our venue. Manny was the 2nd DJ we met with and we were immediately impressed by his calm, professional demeanor (I can't say that about the other DJ we met with). We booked Manny immediately after meeting with him and we are so glad we did! He helped us create an accurate timeline and offered suggestions and helpful input along the way. We had a longer engagement (close to 20 months) and Manny was great about checking in on our progress for song selection and was always willing to offer to assist us with anything that we needed.
We also used Manny for our after-party. He got to the venue right away and kept the party going! I would recommend Manny at Sound Illusions in a heart beat to anybody who is looking for a great, professional DJ.
THANK YOU MANNY! -
