Jim was an amazing DJ for our 9/30/23 wedding!! Our guests had the best time. His request form was incredibly helpful in making sure we had all of our music bases covered. Would highly recommend! -

Jimmy was our DJ for our destination wedding over the weekend. He was attentive, personable, and played great music. He played all of our requests (and absolute jams that were along the lines of our requested songs), he had perfect timing, and he was awesome at engaging the crowd.
The first thing he did that was phenomenal was call out a dance off during dinner. My parent's table, the first to go up, did a little dance when they were called to get their food. After that, Jimmy said "the bar has been set and each table must do a dance when they get up to get their food". Every table started doing them, and a person from each table ran up to request their song with Jimmy. It was hilarious, spontaneous, and so fun to watch, and it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't said that!
He was also very perceptive to our needs. At one point before the speeches my grandfather had to be brought back to the hotel. Jimmy pulled us aside and said "I think I just saw your step dad taking your grandpa home, do you want me to wait a bit for the speeches so he doesn't miss them?". This was so sweet and thoughtful and we really appreciated that.
Jimmy - you rock. Thank you for helping us kill the dance floor the whole night!!! -

Kayli Sent on 02/16/2022Best DJ of Key West
We had Jim & Joanna for our DJ & Videographer for our wedding recently and I cannot begin to describe how amazing they both are. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and were adding hours and people and making so many changes during our wedding planning and both Jim & Joanna were quick to respond and accommodate all of our changes. They are also just such kind people and you can just see how much they love their work and I love that. They helped make our wedding spectacular and I would 10/10 recommend them to everyone getting married in Key West. -

Used soundwave for both DJ and Videography great pick! Jimmy the DJ was great and knowledgeable about our venue at the Hemingway Home. Very detailed in the planning process in regards to needing information about the entire ceremony and reception...which songs to play and when...On time with announcements. Music selection was great and matched the atmosphere of the night. Easy going. Definitely recommend.
Joanna was great for videography! She was wonderful to work with and had a great working relationship with my photography team. On time and fun to work with the entire day. Very accommodating with request and was able to adjust hours to meet our needs. We even traveled around key west for our videography for a few hours. Cannot wait to see our wedding video very excited -

Jim with SoundWave was part of our dream wedding team on March 4 in Key West! Jim sent us a form to fill out ahead of time which allowed us to customize the music for our day. Outside of our requests, Jim kept the vibe and the party going! He has excellent communication skills and kept us informed every step of the way! I highly recommend SoundWave! -

Thank you soooo much for your services! I couldn’t have picked a better duo! Between Joanna & Jim and the rest of the Family affair everything turned out better than I asked for! My video made me want to relive that day all over again! Joanna captured every special moment & we are so appreciative of all the work you guys put into this. When you guys said you were from Philly that’s just a bonus as I am a jersey girl ;). You guys are awesome at what you do! Thank you for having that passion and creating those special memories for us!!! -

I am so happy we chose Soundwave for our Wedding DJ! Communication was great and very easy during our planning process and they helped meet our every need! We were so happy with DJ Sanaris on our wedding day and got multiple compliments on him from everybody in every age range at our wedding. We could not have asked for more and highly recommend SoundWave! -

My husband and I got married last month in Key West and I can't say enough about Jimmy and Joanna. They were so much fun to work with and true professionals! Jimmy was very flexible accomodating my last minute requests and our people are still talking about our dance party! Joanna was always there catching every great moment and worked very well with our photographer also. I can't wait to see our video and relive the amazing night! I highly recommend working with them! -

Christine Sent on 04/16/2019Great DJ, highly recommend!
My husband and I love music and we spent many hours compiling a list of songs that we wanted to play. Jim graciously took our longgggg list and played almost every song we requested. He laid them out so they flowed and tried to get our guests into it. He even complimented our song choices at the end :). Even if you don’t have a picky list like we did he has great taste and I think he would offer great song suggestions -

Christina Sent on 02/21/2019Great Experience!
My husband and I hired Jimmy from SoundWave as our DJ for both the ceremony and reception for our destination wedding in Key West. We have nothing but good things to say about him as he was able to have people up and dancing for such a short reception (2 hour brunch reception). He was very responsive whenever I contacted him and was such a pleasure to have at our wedding. He knew we were from the Philadelphia area and even played the Philadelphia Eagles fight song which really added to the energy of the day. Thanks again Jimmy for such great service you provided on our wedding day! -

Mike Sent on 12/02/2018Superb DJ!
James Cooper is a DJ Mastermind. In full transparency, we used the whole Family Affair team to do our wedding. Planner, Photographer, DJ, Videographer were all one great package. How did we find them? Through Jim and his wife Joanna. When we initially were seeking vendors on our own, Jim was one of the first people we spoke with. We had spoken with a few other DJ’s before Jim and none really had the vibe and connection that we were looking for. Jim was perfect from the beginning and was by far our most responsive, vendor. He led us through not only the DJ selection process, but guided us towards a path for other vendor selection that ultimately brought me and my partner’s stress level to almost ZERO.
As a DJ, he is incredible. My partner and I were nervous to say the least when we were telling a DJ that we wanted the night to start out with inclusive Motown and approachable pop music that eventually turned into millennial gay dance party extravaganza realness.
Did Jim flinch? No.
Did he tell us he loved the idea? Yes.
Did he execute? 100%.
Everyone, and I mean everyone (my partners family aren’t big dancers) got onto the floor at some point, and most of our friends and close family wouldn’t leave.
My partner and I decided to change our first dance song the morning of our ceremony.
Did Jim reply to us day of the wedding immediately? Yes
Was our last minute change an issue? No.
Did he compliment our choice and say it would be perfect? Yes.
Jim at Soundwave was a PERFECT blend of client service, taste, experience, and talent. He is basically the Ritz-Carlton of DJ’s and frankly, I wouldn’t ask anyone else to DJ a wedding in Key West.

Lesley Sent on 10/23/2018Fantastic customization
Jim was incredible with our custom playlist and ceremony music. And a fun staple of Key West, I've learned from other vendors' feedback.
We had a very specific vision that Jim met with ease and enthusiasm.
He talked with us day-of to ensure the timeline was on-track, and was patient and worked without hiccup with things got inevitably delayed.
He was on-time, his set-up and lights blended right in, and he was very sweet. Though a backdrop in the eyes of our guests, his playlist and his announcements were spot on to us with what we idealized and his professionally worked without any hiccups.
Many compliments on his work. A job well done! -

User3296786 Sent on 10/22/2017Jim is the best! I would HIGHLY recommend Jim and SoundWave to have as your wedding DJ. Jim is super nice and played such amazing music. We sent him a huge list of songs we liked and wanted played at our wedding - he played those songs and more! Music was a big deal to us for the wedding because we wanted our friends and family to dance all night with us at our wedding. Jim made sure that happened by providing amazing services and great music. He was very helpful and accommodating, and such a pleasure to work with! Our wedding was so memorable and Jim was a huge part of that. -

Diane Sent on 07/04/2016married at the Southernmost Hotel on the beach on 6/18/16. Joanna captured our day on video. She was personable and was not at all intrusive with the camera. We are looking forward to seeing how she captured our special day. I read all the reviews on wedding wire and then I watched a couple of the videos she captured on her web site. I was so impressed with the videos that I knew i needed Joanna to capture our special day. Shawna was our DJ and did a wonderful job getting everyone out on the dance floor. She is very personable and everyone loved her personality. Ask for Shawna to be your DJ because she is not only personable but also beatiful -

Jamie Sent on 06/22/2016Joanna from Sound Wave was absolutely amazing as our wedding videographer at the Pier House On 5/14/16. She was so kind and great at her job. The sneak peek of our wedding video she sent us was incredible! I'm so thankful Joanna was our videographer. She was so professional that it eased my worries knowing she was there to capture all of our special moments. Thank you, Joanna, for everything! I highly recommend Joanna and Sound Wave for wedding videography! -

Kerri Sent on 04/21/2015We used Soundwave (DJ Top Jimmy) for our April 11th wedding reception at The Reach, and could not be happier with our decision. We had a musician for cocktail hour and the transition was flawless. We provided a few must have songs, and he did such an amazing job reading the crowd. We had 47 people total with a wide age range, and he had everyone on the dance floor all night. We would highly recommend Soundwave and only wish that the night could have lasted longer. -

Abbey Sent on 08/22/2013My wedding planner recommended SoundWave, and we were thoroughly impressed. As we were contacting them for DJ services, we saw that their brother and sister-in-law are Senses At Play Photography, and if we booked them all together, we could get a great package deal for DJ, Videography, and Photography. We're so glad we did! We sent them the list of all of our songs we wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and they did a great job of taking it from there and playing other songs that were similar-- we loved every one! We wanted to do the "Shoe Game," and Jimmy called me about two weeks before to find out if we had found questions yet, etc. and I told him I would send them to him once my husband and I compiled them-- well, time got away from us and we completely forgot. As we were taking our first look pictures, Joanna said something about it and we both froze-- she said, not to worry-- they came up with a bunch, and they were great!
Jimmy also did a great job of transitioning from one event to the next, he wrapped up our dance songs (first dance, father/daughter, mother/son) if/when we gave him the look that we were ready to move on, and even announced that we had made a WedPics account, since I completely forgot to give the little table tent cards to my planner to place around on the tables! Everyone we talked to said our wedding was the most fun they had ever been to, and I cannot thank SoundWave enough for making it so! Brides in the Keys will definitely not be disappointed if you choose SoundWave as your DJ! -

Sara Sent on 10/26/2012Perfect! Sean was the DJ for our Key West destination wedding and he did a wonderful job! He was extremely professional and made sure we were happy with how everything was going. He made it a point to ask us at a few points during the reception if there was anything we would like to hear and gave us suggestions on how to get the party started! During the planning process, everyone at Soundwave was very responsive to my emails and adequately answered all of my quesions. We also had them do our uplights which were perfect! Sean even got some "dancing lights" going when the dance floor started to liven up! We were extremely pleased with their services and would recommend them to anyone planning a Key West wedding! -

Christy Sent on 07/05/2012Jimmy was great! He kept the party going all night long. Our guests were dancing away. He played most of what we selected but added a few of his own selections,which was good. We are so glad we chose Sound Wave & Jimmy, so easy to work with. -

Kristin Sent on 03/10/2010Great DJ! I had to do nothing the whole night because the DJ played all the right music from the ceremony to the end of the reception, the dance floor was never empty all night and everyone had a great time! I was overplanning every detail and never ended up submitting a list of songs (except for our "spotlight dance" songs) and I should've never even worried about it, they had it covered!
