Katherine Sent on 03/19/2025Amazing DJ & Live Fusion Musicians
We chose the Zenith Package with DJ Zeb for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! DJ Zeb curated the perfect mix of songs that kept our guests dancing all night. We also opted for the Live Fusion package, which added live musicians to the DJ set—an incredible touch that elevated the experience.
Sounds Elevated handled all of our reception music and lighting seamlessly, while also coordinating a string trio for our ceremony and a professional photo booth. The string players learned and performed our requested modern songs as classical renditions, making our ceremony feel even more special.
Zeb's deep musical expertise was evident from our very first planning call. He took the time to understand our vision and put together a playlist that truly reflected our style. The custom edits he made for our first dance and wedding entrance were perfect, and his lighting setup created an amazing party atmosphere.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the energy, music, and live elements throughout the night. Sounds Elevated exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’re so grateful to have had them as part of our wedding. If you want a DJ who will bring your celebration to life, look no further! -

Charlee Sent on 12/01/2024The Best DJ Experience—King Most and Sounds Elevated Were Incredible!
If you want a wedding that’s full of energy, unforgettable moments, and a dance floor that’s never empty, look no further than Sounds Elevated and King Most! We could not be more pleased with our experience. King Most absolutely crushed it—he is a total pro who nailed every aspect of our wedding, from setting the perfect vibe during the ceremony to keeping the dance party going all night long.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the DJ was, and the dance floor was packed all night. The music selection was perfect for every moment of the evening—he knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the energy high. We were beyond impressed with how he seamlessly blended different genres to cater to all ages and tastes.
Plus, Sounds Elevated also provided beautiful live music that added such a lovely touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was exactly what we envisioned—and more! The combination of live music and DJ sets made our wedding feel like a truly special experience.
If you want the best energy, vibe, and DJ for your wedding, King Most is your guy. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for how he made our celebration unforgettable. Don’t hesitate—100% book him and Sounds Elevated for your event. They will bring the party, and you won’t regret it! -

Patrick Sent on 08/24/2024Great wedding DJ
Zeb from Sounds Elevated truly took our wedding to the next level. He played acoustic guitar during the ceremony, he DJed our reception (along with his live accompaniment on saxophone and drums, who were incredible). He even provided us with an afterparty playlist. Everything about the music at our wedding went perfectly, and we got rave reviews from our guests about the live music and Zeb’s song choices. The dance floor was packed for the whole reception. We would happily reuse Zeb and Sounds Elevated for future DJ needs. Don’t think twice about booking Sounds Elevated! -

This review for Zeb (and the whole Sounds Elevated Team) is long overdue. Zeb is not only an incredible musician in his own right but plays the role of musical conductor with equal panache. A true “Jack of All Trades.” Some of the many hats he wore for our wedding include:
-He played solo guitar for our ceremony
-Lined up a jazz quartet for the happy hour
-Setup the party lighting (party but classy) for the reception
-Setup a photo booth for guests to take fun photos (a big hit btw)
-DJ’d with a live accompaniment combo for the reception
- stayed up way later than we asked him to, and DJ our afterparty (which was a VERY different vibe than the reception).
He was hustling for easily 10 hours straight. And every single element he contributed to the festivities was top tier. My older cousin, a professional musician for many years, was blown away by the level of talent. It’s been almost a year since the wedding and we still get compliments about the entertainment. He and his team went above and beyond. Easily the best “value” for anything we spent money on for the wedding. I strongly recommend meeting with Zeb and gearing his philosophy/approach to weddings/events.

Donovan was our DJ for our wedding at Rush Creek Lodge in Yosemite. Zebulon was so helpful in getting us a DJ that fit our music journey. My husband and I met out dancing at Funky Sole night in LA and Donovan DJ's Motown Mondays in SF. It was a perfect fit! Donovan was so communicative and friendly and made the whole event so easy. I sent him playlists I made, and he curated a wonderful evening - from the ceremony to cocktails to dancing. -

Michelle Sent on 12/06/2022Excellent vibes and a great party!
Sounds Elevated made our wedding a fantastic party, and we had a great time working with Zeb and our DJ Patrick King Most leading up to and during our event! From start to finish, Zeb was communicative and helpful, answering all our questions and adjusting things like lighting as we changed / requested them. We really appreciated the cadence of communication, and the ease of submitting info like our playlists, speech lists, etc.
DJ King Most’s dj’ing was excellent, and the dance floor was always active. Our guests had an amazing time, and we still get compliments about the event weeks after it happened! We cannot recommend them enough!

Melanie Sent on 08/02/2022Best Dance Floor Ever
Aside from getting married, the Sounds Elevated team was the BEST part of our special day!! We opted for the DJ/Live pacakge with DJ King Most, a decision we would make over and over again! Zeb and the team went above and beyond, and Zeb was so helpful answering my many questions since I had not experienced a DJ/live experience before. I can't say enough good things about Sounds Elevated and how important the DJ experience is. Our guests would have danced the whole night away if we let them! DJ King Most and our extremely talented musicians kept the dancing going and made it such an experience. We had almost every guest tell us how blown away they were by the music, and that it was their favorite part of the whole day. Even those who would normally sit out were on the dance floor :) I can't recommend Sounds Elevated enough, they were such a memorable part of our wedding day! -

Emily Sent on 07/02/2022Best DJ/Live Music hybrid!
Zeb and his band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! I spent a long time looking at vendors for our wedding and Zeb really checked all the boxes, offering a DJ/Live music hybrid option. We had Zeb DJ and also added live drums, guitar, and saxophone - it was a HUGE hit with our guests!
On top of an incredible performance at our reception, Zeb was so easy and chill to work with throughout our wedding process. He was patient with our postponements (due to COVID) and always made me feel at ease in the conversations we had (which is an added bonus for an overwhelmed bride!)
I liked that we could choose to be as hands-on as we wanted, providing him exact songs/playlists through Spotify. But in the event we didn't have time to select a song of playlist for part of the wedding, Zeb could easily fill in the blanks and there was no doubt in my mind that Zeb would choose the best selection that fit our vibe throughout the wedding and ceremony.
We still get compliments from our guests about the DJ/band crew at the wedding. (The Sax is a must!) Thank you for giving us a celebration we will never forget! :) -

Ryan Sent on 08/28/2021Great Wedding DJ!
Amazing wedding DJ! Chip was super communicative, fairly priced, and he did a great job listening to the style of music we wanted to hear and then riffing off of that.
He also was super flexible and willing to play the after party (for an added cost) until 3am, which our group really appreciated and made for a very memorable night! -

Alexandria Sent on 07/20/2021More than just a DJ
Sounds Elevated offers a unique DJ and band combination that really levels up the traditional DJ or Band at a wedding. You get the flexibility of both. Zeb was so flexible and helped us with our multiple date changes and lined up some really great horns and drums to elevate our dancing experince and give us the opportunity to give a ska feeling at our wedding. Ian (our DJ) even worked with the mother of the groom and maid of honor to download a lithuanian song for one of the speeches on the day of the wedding. We would definetly reccommend Sounds Elevated for your wedding. -

Greg Sent on 06/14/2021Zeb will make your event one to remember
A couple of years ago I had the best time cutting a rug to the jams that Zeb played at a wedding I went to. When it was time for us to get married, we knew that we wanted to have Zeb be the one playing the music on our big day. Due to COVID our wedding was much smaller than originally anticipated and we were not able to have a dance floor due to the restrictions. Despite all that Zeb still got the party going! He played a couple of our favorite songs on his acoustic guitar for our wedding processional and then was our DJ/MC for the rest of the evening, playing a variety of tunes during cocktail hour and dinner. We mostly left it to him to decide on the music that was played but we did have a few last minute song requests including right before the ceremony started and he was able to fit all that into his set without missing a beat ;) I would highly recommend Zeb to anyone looking for a DJ/musician for their event. -

Elizabeth Sent on 11/02/2020Zeb will make your wedding!
I own and operate a wedding venue in the Tahoe area and have worked with Zeb from Sounds Elevated multiple times in recent years. Zeb is among the most professional vendors I have had the pleasure of working with and surpass my clients' expectation every single time. What's unique about Zeb, unlike the many other DJs we've worked with, is that Zeb is an accomplished musician and original DJ. He not only can play live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, but can also mix and create one-of-a-kind songs and beats during the dancing hours. No song is every the same and he gets guests dancing more than any other DJ I've worked with. He's exceptional. Simply put. You'd make a mistake not to hire him. -

Jaennika Sent on 10/18/2020Best DJ Live Combo + Photo Booth
Ok, Zeb and Lindsey KILLED IT! I came across their profile on an instagram hashtag and SO grateful I found them. My husband loves music and we decided that we did want to make sure our DJ and vibes fit us as a couple. I love to dance and Jared loves the art of music, so we were so happy that we found a DJ-Live Music Combo. Zeb as a DJ by himself is seriously amazing, and then when you get to add live drums or a saxophone, it is GAME OVER! Our guests had such an amazing time dancing and I loved his emceeing, it wasn't the cheesy wedding style but just totally read the vibes of the dance floor, us as a couple and mixed in what we requested and what we were all feeling. What we appreciated the most is that he also was able to play live acoustic for our ceremony. Jared loves playing the guitar so having live music for our ceremony was perfection. He was able to play Harvest Moon and Here Comes the Sun, then transitioned perfectly for cocktail hour with our hipster cocktail vibes then to getting down on the dance floor! The Photo Booth was also so much fun, Lindsey did a great job asking what I wanted my photo strip to look like and manned the booth for us. Our pictures were delivered to us immediately. Both of them were so easy to work with! If you don't just want a DJ and want to level up with options of live instrumentals, plus a Photo Booth, this is your packaged deal! OH and Zeb took some awesome sunset photos for us. Couldn't have asked for a better music choice. Thank you so much for making our big day so memorable! -

Kirin Sent on 10/06/2020Amazing Experience!!
What a great experience... Zeb and his musicians were a perfect addition to our couple's wedding celebration. Not only was he responsive, helpful in the music selection, organized, professional and an amazing deal for such a spectacular performance, he was an absolute joy to be around! His vibe is refreshing and fun, a much appreciated feel given the times of Covid right now. We really truly loved the mix of the live band and the DJ, and are really looking forward to working with Zeb and the team in the future. -

Jack Sent on 10/05/2020Wish You Were Here
I'll never forget walking down the aisle with my mom and dad by my side, the sun shining down on smiling friends and family, with the sound of Zeb's acoustic "Wish You Were Here" helping me float all the way to the altar.
To say that Zeb went above and beyond for our wedding is an understatement. When we had to postpone our original date due to COVID-19, Zeb remained positive and supportive the entire time, doing everything he could to help us prepare for our big day. He not only crushed our ceremony music, but he NAILED his DJ set and had our guests dancing to a variety of tunes all night.
I don't want to get married ever again, but I will definitely keep Zeb's information just in case. :)
Thanks, Zeb!

Claire Sent on 10/04/2020No better DJ than Zeb!
Can't say enough good things about Zeb & Sounds Elevated! We got in touch with him about a year before our wedding in July 2020. Prior to COVID creating so much uncertainty, Zeb was organized, responsive and professional! When we had to pivot our wedding plans he was able to accommodate and went above and beyond to offer solutions for ceremony, reception and after party. He was on time, personable and mixed everything PERFECTLY! Highly recommend Zeb to anyone. -

Amy H. Sent on 09/20/2020Thank you, Zeb!!
We worked Sounds Elevated for a few different components of our wedding including acoustic tunes for our ceremony, a jazz trio for our cocktail hour, MC duties for our reception and late-night DJing at the end of our reception.
Zeb and his team nailed it on all fronts. His acoustic set the perfect backdrop for our intimate and personal ceremony... it really set the tone and made it feel like us. The jazz trio we had for our cocktail hour was fantastic and made it feel lively and fun yet classic at the same time. Lastly, Zebs MC and DJing were on point!! We had such a blast closing out the night dancing.
Zeb was also really great to work with and helped provide us with some guidance on how to organize our thoughts to make sure we got to hear all our favorites while setting the tone we wanted for the night.
Sounds Elevated hung in there with us despite having to cancel our original wedding and reschedule around COVID and for that, we will be forever grateful. Thanks again, Zeb! - Amy & Jack Huber -

Zeb made everything so easy! Sounds Elevated made sure to get our sound, and take into account the wedding playlist we had put together before the big day. Kept the party going after dinner, and ensured everything went according to our program's schedule. Also so helpful with suggestions on how to set everything up to suit our needs. Uplighting that they provided was amazing and definitely enhanced our event--they even moved the lighting from outdoor to indoor for us! Seriously the best. Thank you again for everything you all did!! -

Zeb provided beautiful acoustic accompaniment for our ceremony, and a spot on setlist for lunch and our reception. We received numerous compliments on his music and enjoyed every bit of having him at our wedding. We can't recommend Sounds Elevated highly enough! -

Jonas Sent on 09/27/2019Zeb will make your party unforgettable. Fo reals.
Zeb absolutely CRUSHED IT at our wedding!
Process: Easy to work with, took an interest in our wants and needs, used our Spotify lists of 250+ songs heavily as requested. On time, on point, and on budget. Great communication; coordinated seamlessly with our planner, videographer and other vendors. Late changes were met with "can-do" attitude, he didn't skip a beat.
Results: Great ceremony sound and a full dancefloor until the last song - including a lot of folks we didn't expect to stick around that long. Perfect balance of our must-play selections and reading the crowd / adding his own vibe. He was watching us all night and immediately responsive to signals for "please move the buffet line along" and "hey this dance is getting long and awkward" and "let's get this party turnt up right now!" A number of guests commented on what a great dance party it was. -

DJ Zeb was THE best! He took everything we wanted and made it even better. He really knows how to read a room and play the songs everyone wants to hear. He was also just a cool guy that we wanted to talk to and get to know instead of just some vendor we were using. Highly recommend! -

Mikaela Sent on 10/18/2018Amazing vibe and music knowledge
Zeb was seriously the best. From the first consultation to the day of execution, he was extremely communicative, friendly, and easy going! Throughout the planning process, asking him questions and getting his expertise on thing was a breeze. He always replied to every email right away and always made us feel like we were his top priority. We loved his vibe and attitude towards music. Being that Zeb is a musician first and a DJ second he truly understands music on a different level. He listened to all of our likes and more importantly dislikes when it came to music selection and did a fantastic job incorporating every request into the night at exactly the right moment. Using Spotify to make playlists gave us a chance to share our music tastes with him, while still allowing for Zeb to use his expertise to sculpt the vibe for the entire night. We loved how relaxed he was on wedding day, set up all his equipment without bothering any wedding guests and hit every timeline moment spot on. Zeb is NOT one of those "cheezy" wedding DJs who tries to be a part of the party. He only uses the microphone when necessary and allows the guests to make the night their own. I can't recommend Zeb more and promise that whatever type of music style you like or vibe you are looking for, he can make your wedding night a dream come true! -

Sounds Elevated Made Our Wedding a Dance Party We'll Never Forget
Our wedding day was all about celebrating the love story that began on a dance floor. Finding the perfect DJ to capture that energy and create an unforgettable night was paramount. Thankfully, fate (and a little online research) led us to Zeb and Sounds Elevated. He became the first vendor we booked, and for good reason.
From the moment we connected, Zeb's professionalism and attention to detail shone through. He took the time to understand our "meet-cute" story and how we envisioned music shaping our wedding. We opted for the Zenith package, which perfectly fit our needs.
Zeb wasn't just a DJ; he was an experience architect. He welcomed arriving guests by playing the acoustic guitar, creating a warm and intimate ambiance. The ceremony music was both peaceful and sentimental, setting the perfect tone. During the cocktail hour and dinner, Zeb curated a lively yet relaxing vibe that kept the conversation flowing.
But the true magic happened on the dance floor, thanks to Zeb's expert curation and seamless transitions. Zeb seamlessly transitioned the energy from classic favorites to a club vibe. The lighting included in our Zenith package enhanced the party experience even more. A few of the many highlights include an impromptu conga line, a dance circle, our dads dancing to hip hop, our friends gathered around singing at the top of our lungs. Our guests, even the self-proclaimed non-dancers, were tearing it up!
The praise for the music selection and overall dance floor energy hasn't stopped. Thank you, Zeb, for transforming our wedding into a night we (and our guests) will remember. -
