So glad we went with Sounds Elevated!
We found our perfect venue for our rustic fall wedding at the Reinstein Ranch and our venue coordinator gave us recommendations for entertainment based on what we were looking for. Going with Sounds Elevated was an easy decision and we cannot speak highly enough about Zeb and Lindsey. Throughout the stressful planning process, Zeb was relaxed and professional. He helped us understand our options, the timeline, and was more than accommodating with last minute adjustments. We appreciated their flexibility and the consistent communication throughout the planning process.
We went with the Elevated Package with the Advanced Floor Lighting, up lighting, acoustic guitar, and classic photo booth with a custom engraved memory book and couldn’t have been happier with the decision. Zeb crushed it on the acoustic guitar during the ceremony and kept the dance floor going all night with his awesome mixing skills. We opted for more of a party vibe over traditional wedding songs and Zeb hit the nail on the head. Our guests raved it was the most fun they had at a wedding, and that was what we were going for. Lindsey was great and the photobooth was a hit. We paid for an extra hour and the booth was active all evening. Our guests loved using the variety of props to make some great memories. We enjoy looking back at the photos and the messages our guests wrote in the memory book.
If you are looking for a company who understands the small details matter, and a staff who go out of their way to make the planning process easier, look no further. We had a great experience with Sounds Elevated and cannot thank Zeb and Lindsey enough for being a huge part of what we feel was a perfect night!

10/10 Highly Recommend
Sounds Elevated is the best! Super professional and always responsive. After working with Zeb for many years in the corporate event world, hiring for my wedding was a no-brainer. From ceremony strings and emcee services to DJ/Fusion + silent disco with epic dance floor lighting, Sounds Elevated is FIRE. To top it all off, they also have a great photo booth (So Good Photobooth) with the black and white GLAM filter (Kardashian vibes). Our guests ate it up and we love that we have digital copies. Zeb is the best, I recommend him to everyone.Sounds Elevated's reply:
Thank you Sarah! Elegant, fun and funky are words that come to mind when I think back to you and Patrick's wedding. The DJ / Live vibes and the silent disco were top notch! So fun! Thanks for everything! -

Michelle A. 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!

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.Sounds Elevated's reply:
Thanks so much Christina! We love it when we select the perfect fit for our our couples! Donovan had the best time. All the best. :) -

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! -

Eli D. Sent on 05/08/2024He does it all
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.

Jaennika A. 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! -

The best!!!!
Zeb was amazing to work with!! He was easy to communicate with and had an organized way using spotify play-lists to keep track of songs and get an idea of our tastes. We trusted him to play songs that would get everyone out on the dance floor and he sure did deliver!!! Everyone had a great time with a great variety of songs! He also played acoustic guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour which was so well done a great added touch!! Highly recommend!!!Sounds Elevated's reply:
Thanks so much Marissa I appreciate the kinds words! Your wedding was beautiful and I had such a good time. All the best!

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!Sounds Elevated's reply:
Thanks Ryan! Chip loved being a part of your big day. I loved seeing the videos of the conga line and dance, plus the afterparty looked off the hook! We appreciate you having us wishing you all the best! -

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! :) -

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. -

Greg H. 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.
