Phenomenal DJ experience!!!
Chris was nothing short of a miracle. He stayed with us despite us having to postpone due to COVID - keeping us on and working with us all the way from early 2020 through our big day on April 30th, 2022. He was so nice, responsive, knowledgeable, upfront, honest, and provided amazing music choices. He chose a fantastic playlist within all the numerous parameters we set, mixed the processional beautifully, and MC'ed the reception flawlessly. *Chefs kiss* Everyone had the absolute best time, in large part to his working the crowd and knowing what dance songs to push next. He is punctual, diligent, and an absolute must to hire for your next event or wedding!Chris was nothing short of a miracle.

Chris Rao is a godsend!
Like many other brides this year, we were disappointed when the pandemic hit and we had to cancel our original wedding plans. We decided to replan a small ceremony and are so grateful for Chris and Soundwave entertainment for making it an amazing day. Chris helped organize the outline for the ceremony and reception which was so helpful - at the time I was so stressed and worried about having to cancel again that I couldn’t even think about what wedding round 2 would be like - and Chris really helped bring it to life. His music choices were spot on and kept people on the dance floor. I wasn’t sure that we’d even have dancing at all during COVID times, but Chris made it happen and all in a way that felt safe. He was a huge part of making our wedding happen and we are so grateful to him for all the support!!Like many other brides this year, we were disappointed when the pandemic hit and we had to cancel our original wedding plans.

Hire Chris, Seriously!
First, let me say that having a wedding during COVID comes with challenges. Having to push our wedding back by a few months was so stressful, especially not knowing if our already hired vendors would still be available. Not only was Chris SUPER nice and professional, but he made sure he was available for our new date and kept in contact with me every step of the way! He met with my husband and I a few weeks prior to come up with the perfect timeline for our wedding, get our playlist (including songs we did not want played) and made sure he had everyone’s name pronounced correctly. At our wedding, he transitioned so smoothly between dinner, toasts, cake, etc... Even though most people were hesitant to dance due to social distancing, Chris kept the music up and we had the best time dancing! Brides, you will not regret hiring Chris. We seriously could not have picked a better DJ. 🥂First, let me say that having a wedding during COVID comes with challenges.

Could not have asked for a better DJ!
Chris did an incredible job as the DJ at my wedding! He was extremely organized, always had perfect timing with songs, and very flexible. We had on and off rain/wind on our wedding day, and he was prepared for small delays in ceremony time and adjustments that had to made throughout the night due to the weather. He did a great job selecting songs based on my husband and I's preferences, as well as incorporating songs that we specifically requested that were important to us. I would absolutely book him again for an event!Chris did an incredible job as the DJ at my wedding! He was extremely organized, always had perfect timing with songs, and very flexible.

Did an amazing job getting to know me and my husband
Chris did a wonderful job talking to me and my husband about what we did and didn’t want and helping us keep on schedule for the day. We always had people dancing and would hire him again without question!Chris did a wonderful job talking to me and my husband about what we did and didn’t want and helping us keep on schedule for the day.

Great DJ- Very Organized
Chris was fantastic! He was very helpful throughout the planning process- he answered all our questions when we were looking for a DJ, kept track of our song requests, and met with us in person to plan our reception timeline about a month before the wedding! The day of Chris was early, very organized and fun! He kept our reception going on time and got people on the dance floor. I highly recommend working with Chris for your wedding!Chris was fantastic!

Great to work with!
Chris was great to work with!! In the planning stage, he was very responsive and organized. He gave us an outline to work with that was very helpful. We had this idea of how we wanted the music to be at our wedding so that it represented us as a couple but would also be enjoyable for our guests. We provided him with a list of songs that were our "must hear" songs. Chris played those songs and also picked complimentary songs that we loved. After our wedding, everyone commented that the music was great and that it was the most fun, laid back wedding they had ever been to! Exactly what we wanted and we couldn't be happier!!Chris was great to work with!! In the planning stage, he was very responsive and organized.

Chris is the BEST wedding DJ!
We are SO happy that we chose Chris to be our wedding DJ! A few highlights:
- When it rained just as our ceremony was supposed to begin, he quickly switched the music playing to "Don't Worry, Be Happy." Our guests couldn't stop talking about how funny it was! Then, when it stopped raining and a rainbow came out, he of course played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Everyone loved it!
- He listened to our music choices 100%. Every single song that came on was one of our favorites. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the music was - and our dance party was epic.
- He even listened to our speeches and made song choices based on them. When my best friend mentioned in her speech that we listened to Ace of Base when we were growing up, he put on Ace of Base to get the party started!
- Chris was always friendly, professional, and pleasant to work with. I truly couldn't have asked for a better DJ (and somehow, even with all of that, he's affordable)!We are SO happy that we chose Chris to be our wedding DJ! A few highlights:

Soundwave Entertainment was the best choice we could have made for entertainment and lighting at our wedding! Wendy was amazing to work with and has a heart of pure gold. We had originally hired a band that did not work out and in a panic I e-mailed her if they still had availability for our date this close. Not only did she get back to me right away to confirm they did, she called me from the airport on her day off because she did not want me to stress waiting for her response. Our uplighting for the event was beautiful and perfectly captured the romantic feel I wanted for the ballroom. Vinny and his assistant DJ Ray were so fun to work with and did a great job entertaining the crowd and keeping the flow going. Vinny is extremely talented and kept our dance floor full the entire night. We had family members I would have never guessed to be out there breaking it down on the dance floor. That was all because of Vinny and his choices in music and mixing capabilities. There was never a dull “might as well grab a drink” moment for anyone and everyone had such a great time! Thank you Vinny, Ray and Wendy for a night we will never forget. We truly had the time of our lives! I highly recommend Soundwave Entertainment for your wedding DJ and uplighting!Soundwave Entertainment was the best choice we could have made for entertainment and lighting at our wedding!

Chris Rao was the Dj we met at EverGreen's Bridal Expo this past Winter in Haymarket, VA. He was so laid back and friendly. He really makes the whole stressful wedding process seem like a breeze. I wanted to book him on the spot, and did! When my Fiancée met him, he said the same thing about how Chris really puts you at ease and lets you know he is there for you every step-of-the-way. Chris was so patient waiting up to just a few days before our wedding for the final song choices. He didn't miss a beat on the wedding day, and we really couldn't have asked for a better DJ/coach to walk us through our reception:) We highly recommend Chris Rao and his company. And might I add, we never gave him a song list per se, but informed we would like a mix of 70s rock, 80s, old skool hip-hop and current/modern songs. He had the perfect balance of music that everyone wanted to dance to, and I even had a few people ask me for the playlist, haha. Thanks again Chris, for making our wedding day so enjoyable.Chris Rao was the Dj we met at EverGreen's Bridal Expo this past Winter in Haymarket, VA. He was so laid back and friendly.

Chris was AMAZING!!! He listened to what we wanted, he incorporated our unique style into all elements of the evening and he played all of the songs on our Must-Play list (and none on our Do-Not-Play list). I danced all night long!!! The hits kept coming!
We had some concerns that the sounds/base would echo and sound awful at our large venue, but Chris made it work and it sounded nothing but amazing.
If ever I need DJ services in the future, I will definitely be hiring Chris again!!!!Chris was AMAZING!!!

I have been an events manager for three different wedding venues in the NoVa region and Chris has been on all three of the preferred vendor lists because of his professionalism, quality of service, and ability to get everyone out on the dance floor. Their fun personalities, creative ideas, promptness, and professionalism make them top vendors overall in the event industry. (This includes photographers, bakeries, videographers, etc.) I have worked over 250 events and worked with a huge number of DJs and Chris/Soundwave is by far the best, which is why I chose him to DJ my wedding.I have been an events manager for three different wedding venues in the NoVa region and Chris has been on all three of the preferred vendor lists because of his professionalism, quality of service, and ability to get everyone out on the dance floor.

I gave him a huge hug at the end of the night for everything he did. Thanks so much, Chris!Chris did a fantastic job for our wedding! He had the dance floor packed the whole night.

Chris Rao was great! He was fun and professional and did a great job playing softer music during dinner, music for older guests earlier in the evening, and music for younger people later in the night. He dutifully adhered to my long do-not-play list (despite the pleas from my some of my guests!) I appreciated that when my guests begged to hear the cha-cha slide, he conceded only when I was in the bathroom:) He helped make my wedding perfect--a big thanks to Chris!Chris Rao was great!

I had a long list of personal requests as far as music was concerned and he basically played everything I asked for. He did an awesome job moving things along for us amidst the chaos and guests were dancing all night long. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!Chris Rao was the dj for our recent wedding and I'm so glad we used his services! He is such a nice person and just made our event fun and upbeat.

Jim was our hero at our wedding. Simply put. Not only did he DJ, but he sings BEAUTIFULLY!! -- Something he did not tell us beforehand, therefore, it was such a wonderful surprise! He ran the whole show, literally! He entertained, he provided props to dance with, he orchestrated and coordinated, he managed to have the entire wedding from beginning to end, simply FLOW... But the MOST IMPORTANT thing Jim did, was: HE GOT PEOPLE TO DANCE THAT NEVER, EVER DANCE!!! Now, that's when you KNOW a DJs good at what he does. He's a good-looking, sharp-dressed and quick-witted guy, too!!! He made our reception a TRUE PARTY!! Our wedding reception would have been a disaster, had Jim not been there. We definitely got MORE than what we paid for! For ANY event, choose Sound Wave Entertainment if you TRULY want to have a FANTASTIC time!! Thank you, Jim for making our day a success!

Best DJ! Hire Chris Rao Now!
Chris Rao and Sound Wave Entertainment did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job DJing our wedding! Our dance floor was bumping from beginning to end, which is entirely a credit to Chris. Chris is super kind and easy to work with as well. My partner and I had extensive Must Play and Do Not Play lists, as well as a few complicated events during the wedding (Indian baraat entrance into first dance, surprise group dance on the dance floor), and Chris executed them just perfectly. The music flowed seamlessly between classic, 80s, hip-hop, Bollywood, and reggaeton songs. Moreover, Chris was an integral part of our wedding night as a whole being a success: When our wedding was falling behind schedule, Chris worked so helpfully with our vendors and made sure our speeches and reception continued onward and smoothly. Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we feel lucky that we were able to have him DJ our wedding. My partner and I even say that we wish we could throw another party just so we could hire Chris again! We highly recommend Chris and Sound Wave Entertainment if you are looking for a DJ for a wedding or any other event.Chris Rao and Sound Wave Entertainment did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job DJing our wedding!

Awesome DJ!
Chris was amazing to work with for our wedding DJ! He was very responsive and let choose what music we wanted to play. He took the time to have calls with us to get to know us as a couple and personalize our day. He provided back up microphones for our ceremony and even stayed to play music during our late night social hour. His pricing is extremely affordable and he was so great to work with.

Great Wedding DJ
Overall, Chris was great to work with. He had great reviews on here and came recommended by our venue. We had a 45 minute call prior to the ceremony to go over music tastes and the timeline. He provided some great feedback and suggestions, which I really appreciated. He was also flexible with me picking some of the songs later because I couldn't make up my mind. He helped with setting up the ceremony music for our string band, which was really nice, along with the microphones. He also dealt with me requesting music at the end of the night after some adult beverages, so he deserves a big thank you! I would highly recommend him for any wedding!Overall, Chris was great to work with. He had great reviews on here and came recommended by our venue.

Soundwave DJ - THE BEST experience!
From our initial phone call, through the actual event, Chris went above and beyond to make our daughter's wedding a memorable and special day. Email, phone and zoom meetings to prepare were convenient, fun and productive; coming up with ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music lists was collaborative and executed perfectly. Especially during this pandemic, when many of the plans had to be altered, and size of our reception decreased, Chris kept the dance floor moving and exciting (and socially distanced) and was the perfect Emcee. Having heard of nightmare DJ stories, Chris was the exact opposite -- professional mics and sound equipment and an excellent mix of music.

Absolute Best Experience!
Chris was a joy to work with! First of all, the pricing was very reasonable, especially for the area. I was trying to coordinate an east coast wedding while still living on the west coast and Chris was so gracious and easy to work with. He took our song preferences and then crafted an amazing playlist that we and our guests loved dancing to. It made the day that much more special seeing all of our loved ones having a blast. He was absolutely fantastic to work with and I would highly recommend his services!Chris was a joy to work with! First of all, the pricing was very reasonable, especially for the area.
