    If you’re looking for the perfect DJ, ultimate sounds is it!

    I promise this is worth the read if you are struggling to find the right fit! The DJ/music at our wedding was one of the most (if not the most) important thing to us. We spent an ample amount of time researching, talking to, reading through reviews, and interviewing potential DJ’s. From the get go Norman was informative, helpful, and extremely considerate of our vision and what we wanted. We knew immediately that he was going to be an amazing choice. Norman sent a thorough binder to help us organize our wedding day music, speeches, any announcements we wanted, etc. as well as being available to answer any questions or concerns along the way. He even drove out of his way the day before our wedding to walk through the venue and make sure he was delivering *exactly* what we were wanting. We had a surplus of guests tell us that was the best wedding music & DJ they had ever been around. My husband placed a lot of importance on the sound quality, and wanted to make sure the equipment was the very best, Norman delivered in all aspects. The worst part about wedding DJ’s sometimes can be the cheesy or awkward song transitions - which I was SO relieved to not have. He made sure everything was a smooth transition and mixed everything perfectly. We gave him a very wide variety of songs as well, and he fit in everything perfect and matched the energy of every moment of our wedding with the right music. If you’re looking for the best, I can say confidently this is it. When you are planning a wedding, managing and communicating with the vendors to make sure everything is going as planned can be one of the most stressful parts. Norman was a DJ that took *all* of that wedding vendor stress off of me as a bride, because I knew he was going to make sure everything went great, and he truly did. We cannot thank ultimate sounds enough, our wedding day would have not been near as amazing without you!

    Amazing support and partner

    We had such a great experience working with Ultimate Sounds. He supported us through the entire process and worked with us. One thing we truly appreciated and were grateful for was the ability to improvise if needed as Ultimate Sounds knew we were busy or spending mental cycles in other areas that needed our attention. This made it really stress free for us leading up to the event and during.

    Awesome DJ! We danced the night away!

    We had our wedding this past July. Our original DJ could not be available for our wedding date anymore and recommended Norman. We met on a call to discuss the details of our wedding. We thought it was very nice that he spent time asking us questions to get to know us. You can tell that he is experienced and really cares about his clients. He also sent us a binder to fill out forms and had pages detailing music recommendations. I shared a music list with him and the timeline of our wedding. Communication with him was very easy. He played music for our cocktail hour and reception. We are so happy that we booked him! Our guests had a great time and danced the night away!

    Thank you so much Norman!

    Norman saved the Wedding!

    Look no further!! Norman was the best DJ we could have ever chosen for our big day. We literally hired him a couple of days before the wedding, and he was the absolute best! He called me and my husband individually to get to know us a little more, he learned a little of our background and families. We provided him with our favorite songs and what songs we wanted to play at certain times during the wedding. HE MADE IT HAPPEN! Norman was very pleasant and such an amazing host in our wedding! He was able to announce special dances, last minute surprises, last minute requests and just overall an amazing sound system and DJ. Norman has an amazing personality. He definitely made our wedding that much more special. I will say the music in our wedding made the wedding spectacular! Norman knew exactly what he was supposed to do to make our special day complete!

    10/10 experience with John!

    John was such a great DJ for our wedding! He was so professional and accommodating to our requests. We could tell he was very intentional in personalizing the wedding entertainment for us. All of our guests really enjoyed him as the DJ and emcee! I would highly recommend John/Ultimate Sounds!

    What a night!

    Norman was such a great DJ and I loved how he made the night feel special. He had us both write our "Love Story" separately and then at our wedding he combined our stories and told everyone. He was also hilarious and our guests really enjoyed his commentary. The music was spot on with what we wanted and our guests were up and moving. Overall a great night and it wouldn't have been possible without Norman.

    In Norman We Trust!!

    Norman was my DJ/MC at my wedding 2 weeks ago!. He single-handedly made our wedding night unforgettable! Norman is very organized. He sent over a wedding event planner to write out the many components of a wedding that never even crossed my mind, which ultimately helps him out. We gave him a playlist of songs we wanted to hear and what genres we wanted played and didn’t want played. He kept the pacing of our reception going, kept people on the dance floor. He kept the night alive with his DJ and MCing.

    He’s been a family friend for my entire life and it was an absolutely blessing and privilege to have him DJ one of the most important days of my life.

    We appreciate you DJ Norman and thank you for an unforgettable night!

    The best dj!

    Norman helped make our wedding reception one to remember! From our very first interaction with him, we knew we could trust him to make our wedding day extra special. He initiated a call where he got to know us as a couple and he incorporated everything he knew about us into his work for our wedding. He went above and beyond to make it as personal as possible. On the evening of our wedding, we had such an amazing time (and so did our guests)! We had our guests asking for his playlist! We got so many compliments on how fun our wedding was, and I have to credit Norman for that. We could not have asked for a better DJ. Thank you so much Norman!

    The life of the party

    Norman is absolutely the best! We told him the type of music we liked and wanted to hear at our wedding and he delivered! All our guests at the wedding were telling us the music was the best part. Every song he played was an absolute hit. we also chose to use his up lighting and it was such as nice touch and looked so good! You will not regret choosing Ultimate Sounds as your DJ.

    A perfect MC and even better DJ

    Norman was wonderful! He rolled with all of the changes, from our parents' suddenly changing their minds to the venue shutting down the party 30 minutes early. He kept the whole night moving smoothly! And the music was too perfect for words!!

    The Best There Is

    Ultimate Sounds is the best in the business. I have witnessed him at other weddings & events and now had the pleasure to hire him for our own. His thoroughness and attention to all details, even ones we didn’t think of until he brought them up, was first class. He provided us with all our answers before we could even ask the questions. He is prepared, professional, and will get the party started and keep it going until the lights come on. His musical knowledge and experience had everyone on the dance floor all night. And his MC skills are on the same level! He will communicate with you through the whole process and will put together the best entertainment you can be provided. I would recommend Ultimate Sounds to anyone for any event.

    Norman and I go way back! He is related to an old friend of mine and actually used to DJ at my junior high dances. So he was the first person I thought of when I started thinking of DJs for my wedding. I reached out to him and he was happy to meet with my then-fiancee and I, even though our wedding date wasn't secured yet. With nothing set in stone, Norman still took the time to get to know us and our story, which I think helped the whole process run smoothly in preparation and on the day-of. This also made everything more personal. When we were able to finalize our wedding date, I booked Norman immediately. With the contract, he sent us a personalized binder that outlined everything we needed to know about our reception music and tons of song suggestions! It even had checklists and tips for overall wedding planning. This binder was super helpful throughout the whole process.

    We met with Norman a few weeks prior to the wedding to finalize our reception timeline, as he was also our MC for the dinner, and everything ran perfectly at our reception! When planning for the reception, I was really over-analyzing situations and trying to plan for them, but Norman ensured me he would gauge the room and go with the flow. I really trusted him with this and it was better than I could have imagined! He is truly an expert at what he does.

    Norman was great at providing a variety of music for all our guests and was really good at reading the room for the moods. I feel he really paid attention to who was on the dance floor when ever he chose the next song and catered his selections to the audience as it changed throughout the night. Overall, I don't think my reception would have been as great as it was without Norman! Some people look back on their wedding day and are depressed it's all over. For me, what I'm really sad is over is the party! We had to end our party with the venue at 10 PM but I still look back and wish we could have continued it for longer!

    I couldn't be happier with the service that Norman brought to the table - he's more than just a DJ! He's a solid emcee and really sets the vibe for the whole event. From the first meeting with him, it's easy to see that he truly cares about the couples he works with, and wants to get to know them. He was super responsive and in depth leading up to the big day, then he was THE DOPEST DJ on the day of. We had multiple guests come up to us to tell us how good the music was. He played everything we wanted and more. Highly recommend!

    Norm was simply the best! From the beginning, he helped us plan every part of the day, from the music to the order of events. He even told us which side of the aisle we should stand on! And most importantly, he kept our guests dancing through the night!! We couldn't be happier or more grateful!

    Norman is the best! Before I was referred to him by a friend, I spent hours meeting with 5-10 different DJ's and felt like I was never going to meet a DJ that my husband and I liked. Norman listened to all of our wedding wishes, came to our rehearsal, played all of our requested songs and our guests' requested songs (it was a long list), and got every single guest up and dancing! He did an incredible job mixing songs from oldies to motown to recent hits to 80's. All of our family and friends loved him and we got so many compliments after our wedding. If I had to plan a million more weddings, I would book Norman every single time. He won't let you down!

    Norman is the most fantastic DJ! My husband and I would highly recommend him for really any event. He was the DJ at our wedding and kept the party going all night long. Not only is he a great DJ, but an excellent MC. All of our wedding guests enjoyed Norman and everything he offered.

    Norman was recommended to me by my best friend who met him at a company event. We started with an initial meeting where Norman really wanted to get to know me and my husband, and our style. Personalization is fundamental to Norman and his business, and he truly delivered an experience perfectly fit for us on our big day. Throughout the planning phase, Norman reached out to us with various questions, made an over hour long trip out to see our venue, and incorporated everything we wanted to spec.

    I wish I could give Norman 10 stars! His work is exceptional, and I’d recommend him for ANY event.

    Norman made wedding planning a breeze for us. He's extremely helpful in all aspects and definitely goes beyond his job as a Wedding DJ. Norman is amazingly fun, friendly, and he definitely knows how to keep your wedding guests moving on the dance floor. His selection of music and skills as a DJ are well above exceptional. Book with Norman and you won't be disappointed!

    I am SO grateful that Norman was the DJ for my wedding. He is extremely responsive, accommodating and just plain awesome. Has all the equipment necessary so you don't need to rent or buy anything. Norman wanted to meet with my fiancé and I prior to the wedding because he feels it's really Important to get to know the couple, understand what it is they want, and cater and accommodate to them. He honestly went above and beyond our expectations and kept our reception schedule flowing and EVERYONE on the dance floor the whole night. Absolutely everyone had a great time because of him and I promise if you guys hire him, you would have absolutely no regrets.

    Me and my wife got married in September this year and we had Norman as a DJ & MC. And I can say without hesitance that it was probably one of the best choices I've ever made in my life.

    I am a wedding photographer so have been to a number of weddings and got to witness the importance of DJ/MC because it can and will make it or break it.

    Norman was everything you could ask for from a professional DJ/MC. On the first face to face meeting, he brought a binder with a number of sheets for our keeping. The binder included all the requirements/background info he needs, suggested playlist for each of the processions, and general wedding related tips such as the list of items to include in the emergency kit for the day. So when we were handed the binder, we knew he was very well prepared. Working with him through emails was very easy as Norman was always responsive to our inquiries and provided tips and advises. Then a couple weeks before the wedding, he met with us one more time to go over the music settings as well as to discuss what needs to be done as MC. He also came to the rehearsal on the day before wedding and checked out the floor plan and the settings.

    On the day of wedding, he was on time. What I was really amazed at was how perfect the sound systems were set. At a number of weddings I have been to, I saw many times where the music or the microphone was set either too quiet or loud where it was distracting, which can easily disrupt one of the most important events in life. But Norman had his system perfectly set up so the background musics were greatly mixed into the ambience. Norman's MC skill was great as well. He was very succinct and professional in delivering messages. Also his appearance was very professional and proper to the occasion.

    I will recommend Normal to anyone with highest regards.
