    Wonderful.

    Raphael is an amazing DJ and person! He’s so kind, genuine and down to earth. He makes you feel taken care of and listens to all of your concerns as well as your vision on your special day. Both him and Shauna are very responsive and quick to answer. I loved his personalized Photo Booth touches. We are so happy he and his crew were a part of our most memorable day!

    SoundSurge Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks so much for your review! We're very thankful to have been part of your special day. Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and your attention to deal was also amazing! Wishing you two a world of health and happiness on this new chapter of your life!

    Excellent service

    Sound surge was absolutely amazing. They met our every need. They were on point in all aspects of the wedding. I would recommend them to all. They were also very thorough with asking what songs we wanted for each time of the wedding and any other songs we wanted. The videography and photography were all extremely helpful and amazing people to work with.

    Raphael and his team at Sound Surge Entertainment helped make our special day absolutely incredible! They did the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! All of our special songs and timing of all of them went perfectly. We had detailed lists of songs and Raphael really took those requests into account to make sure we got what we wanted on our wedding day. We have gotten so many compliments on how great the music was. Music is so important to us and we are so happy that we chose Sound Surge Entertainment to handle the music for our wedding day! -The Revoirs

    My husband and I booked SoundSurge as our DJ for our May 19th wedding, and were so happy with our choice! Every time we met with Raphael we became more and more excited for our wedding day. We really only had one request - that our dance floor would be packed all night long - and Raphael and his team delivered! Raphael was helpful and knowledgeable throughout the planning process, and even helped us arrange sound equipment for our out-of-town live musician. Thank you, SoundSurge for giving us the party of a lifetime!

    Raphael was absolutely amazing from day one in planning our day to DJing our wedding in September. He was very easy to talk to in regards to everything that we wanted -- about the type of music, the reception and ceremony music, the media package at our venue to include our hashtag photos. He was always fun and willing to hear our opinion throughout the whole process. He also made himself very available whenever we needed to speak to him in regards to our wedding music, whether it was meeting with him in person, to asking him quick questions via text, to scheduling phone calls to review our whole day. I would recommend using Raphael and SoundSurge for a wedding to everyone!

    Excellent! Would use them again.

    Hire him! Danny was on time, prepared and super professional. He played an array of music that had the party up on their feet. He covered all genres and even took special requests. He was on the mic getting the crowd going and informing them of highlights during the event.

    Sound Surge did an AMAZING job for our New Year's Eve wedding. Scott was our dejay and he had us dancing from 7:30pm until 1:30 am! My guests are still texting me saying what a great wedding it was! My husband and I loved using the website to communicate our song choices (and do not play list!). Scott even set up the music for our ceremony because everything took place at the venue. Thank you Sound Surge!!

    Raphael from Soundsurge entertainment is AWESOME! He was so professional and easy to work with and truly put me at ease for the day of the wedding. I knew the DJ was nothing I had to worry about. The dance floor was filled the ENTIRE night - not one dull song was played. Everyone came up to me during and after the wedding complimenting the DJ and asking for a business card. Raphael is truly a pro and if you want your wedding to be a great party - book with him ASAP!

    Right from the start, we knew the Sound Surge was the company for us. So many of the companies are loud and in your face. Raph and sound surge are not like that at all. Simply put, they let the music and their experience speak for itself. Our Photo Booth was fantastic. The props were way better than any other wedding Photo Booth i have ever used. Our slideshow was perfect, it still brings a tear to my eye when I see it. But most of all, the music was perfect. Chris and his crew managed to make all our specific song requests come through the day of the wedding. We had so many unique songs that we wanted to play and they did not disappoint. Plus, the mix that Chris did kept our friends dancing the night away.

    Turn DOWN FOR RAPH! Raphael was absolutely amazing as our wedding DJ. From meeting with him well in advance to describe to him the theme of the music we wanted to playing songs in his studio to a special surprise for the bride from the groom, he was funny, professional and helpful! As a recreational DJ, I was worried about micro-managing the playlist, but he was appreciative of knowing exactly what we wanted to hear. He made us feel extremely comfortable about the entire process and just made it ...FUN. Our guests were telling us all night how amazing the music was and how much fun it was to be on the dance floor. My wife and I danced the night away without taking a break because we didn't want to miss one song Raphael played. We would not have had the time of our lives that we did at our wedding if it were not for Raphael and his MC Mike. It was definitely a party for the ages!

    Raphael and his team did an amazing job providing the entertainment for our wedding! Before the wedding, he made sure that he knew what we wanted out of our music and our expectations. The day of the wedding, they arrived early to set everything up and even helped when we had a small slideshow malfunction. Raphael did a great job as a DJ and used his skills to read the crowd to ensure the dance floor was full most of the night. He did a great job playing a wide range of music as well as our suggestions to please all of our guest. We also had a photo booth through them and it was a huge hit with our guests. They provided an attendant and props just to man the photo booth all night.

    I could not have asked for a better team to manage the music and photo booth the day of our wedding. Not only did Raphael text me and email me days leading to our wedding but even the day of he wanted to make sure he had all details wrapped up.

    He listened to every crazy nonsense of mine and was able to engage the bilingual crowd extremely well. Pants were ripped, shoes were removed and people were chanting, "One last song!" at 1AM.

    Raphael,

    We can’t thank you enough for the amazing job you did at our wedding last saturday. From start to finish you kept the vibe that we wanted alive with your choice of music.

    The music completely calmed our nerves and brought us to a place of calm before walking down the aisle. We really felt like you customized the entire vibe of the night for us.

    Then your hava nagila mix totally broke the ice between our families and really started our reception off on a note of excitement and interest.

    We will never forget looking out from the sweetheart table at the beautiful amber lit room. It was perfect! Also, your musical choices of how to follow up the speeches was perfect.

    Dancing with our best friends throughout the night are moments we will never forget.The whole night had the perfect balance of touching music that we love with funkier songs to party to!

    Thank you for your perfect timing, and for giving us the most fantastic moments to remember as we hear our favorite songs for years to come.

    Thank you again for all your hard work, it is a night we will never forget!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Chris and Kimmi

    Raphael was a pleasure to work with. He was very nice since the start. We got the up lighting and photo booth through him. His prices were very reasonable and the day of the wedding he was there and on point with everything. Thank you very much!

    Thank you Raphael, David, and everyone from the videography team who help make our wedding day everything we dreamed!!! Raphael, you were so much fun, so honest, organized, professional, and awesome to work with. We hired soundsurge about 17 months before our wedding and I was always nervous that, given how much time we had, they wouldn't be responsive or dependable. Those nerves went away so quickly as Raphael was super responsive every step of the way. He always answered all my questions, gave me an absolutely amazing price, and the quality of everything was incredible. Everyone at the wedding couldn't get enough of the lighting, sound, the music selection, the entertainment..... I was the happiest bride in the world because of you guys so THANK YOU!!!

    Raphael and the team at Soundsurge were amazing to work with! Raphael especially made the whole process so easy - everything from helping us with song selection to setting up an additional booth to providing a mic for the ceremony at the last moment. He was professional and helpful at every turn. All of our guests (and us!) had such a blast at the wedding (and after party) in large part due to Raphael's DJing. I cannot wait to have another excuse to hire him for an event. The best DJ in Jersey, hands down!

He is a great DJ! We were also really pleased with the awesome photo booth and the lighting... it was a blast!
