Reviews for CJ Sound
GUEST




The DJ we were going to use was a friend of the groom's family, but he backed out a week before the wedding. We called CJ Sound and we were lucky that they happened to have our date open. Patrick Booth was our DJ and working with him was a complete pleasure. He was responsive, helpful, professional, and reliable. He played all of the music we wanted, and everyone stayed at the reception until the very end, dancing all night. He was awesome - request him if you want the best.

We have nothing but good things to say about Pat Booth at CJ sound. Pat was unbelieveable in every last detail. He was available and responsive via call, text, email, even Facebook throughout the whole process. Introductions were seamless, first dances were thoughtful, and he directed our guests towards all the desserts, favors, etc. He even did a New Year's countdown for us! 5 stars for Pat Booth over and over. My uncle is a dj in CT on a morning rock radio show and even he thought he was unbelieveable. Our biggest complaint was the dance floor was too full. There were people dancing from 18-80.
GUEST




Pat Booth was absolutely the best DJ we could have hoped for. He contacted us prior to the wedding with regards to all the details and assured us all of our concerns would be taken care of. He did not disappoint. From scheduling the introductions to dinner music and dance music, he was phenomenal. We had the dance floor packed every minute after dinner. He knew exactly what to play and when to play it. He created the perfect blend of variety for everyone to enjoy. Our reception was at Salvatore's where the speakers were built in to the ceiling above the floor, and let me tell you it was worth the extra expense to go with CJ Sound. It made a big difference not to be able to be drowned out by the music when you're not on the dance floor.
Pat - thank you for everything. I wish we wrote this sooner. Your services were above and betond extraordinary.
GUEST




Our night would not have been quite as amazing if it was not for CJ Sound! They were very professional. They played the requests we gave them and did not play any song we put on our do not play list. They were able to download songs we wanted that they did not have on the spot, and played the requests of our guests in a timely fashion. Our DJ had an amazing personality, and he felt more like one of our friends then a DJ we hired! I would hire CJ Sound for any party I plan in the future. To us it isn't a party without CJ Sound
GUEST




DJ DENNIS WAS AWESOME! We received numerous compliments from our guests regarding this talent and ability to keep the crowd upbeat and involved. He was funny, sweet, and professional. Every request was met, and he even played 3 "last songs" because we just couldn't get enough! He really kept the party going and I would highly suggest CJ Sound and Dennis as your DJ!
GUEST




We used them bc avfamily friend recommended them and we could not have been happier. Vince was super responsive by email with any questions. Our DJ Dennis was great and played and did not play everything we asked and seemed like he had as much fun as the guests!
GUEST




CJ Sound in Phenomenal! My husband and I are so very happy we decided to have them as our DJ. Dennis was AMAZING!! He interacted with the crowd and fulfilled everyone's needs especially ours! Any event i ever throw again i will not hesitate to pick CJ sound as my DJ! GREAT JOB!!!

I had a wonderful DJ - Pat! WOW! He did everything that I asked, and more. The most important item that I stressed to him was that to make the bride happy was to make sure my 86 year old grandfather danced the night away! He did that to perfection! I have gotten so many comments from guests of all ages telling me how great the music selection was. I was nervous, I have been to weddings where no one would dance, and for the most part, my dance floor was full! Great variety, and Pat had a great personality! Highly reccommend Pat to anyone!
GUEST




Our DJ was awesome! He avoided songs that we asked him to, played music that was fun to dance to, and had everyone dancing all night! At one point, an older relative passed out (after too much dancing, everything is ok!), and he professionally cut the music until we were sure everything was ok, and then restarted it promptly upon request!
GUEST




Our Dj rocked! He played all the music we wanted and took alot of request from the guest. He helped out and kept things moving at all times.




We had Dan as our DJ and he was exactly what we were looking for. He not only played what we asked him to, but he also played some of his own music selections which were great and perfectly catered to what our guests were into. His personality was great and he wasn't obnoxious or overly involved. It was an awesome night and we couldn't have been happier with our DJ!
GUEST




He was able to get people out of their seats and dance all night long.
GUEST




Was great, helped keep everything rolling when it was hard for us to. Good music selection and friendly service.
GUEST




Choosing a DJ was the easiest thing on my list. CJ Sound is already plugged into several Buffalo area reception venues. If they are, look no further, if they aren't call anyway! Our DJ played everything on our playlist and didn't play anything from our do-not-play list. They were reasonably priced, punctual, professional and kept the party going. I will use them in the future!
GUEST




We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Pete was amazing! He did a great mix and the dance floor always had people out there dancing right til the end. He really knew how to read the crowd.
GUEST




The DJ we were given was SO open to any requests we had - he was so nice! He wanted to make sure we knew it was OUR day and he would do whatever he could to give us what we wanted. He was very professional, and the sound system was great. We felt like paying what we did for their service was a GREAT deal!
GUEST




I listened to many different DJs and really liked the quality of CJ Sound. They did a great job of mixing tunes as well as playing what we requested. Our DJ (as well as others I heard) all had great personalities and knew how to play to the crowd.
I thought the price was a good value, we were very pleased.
GUEST




We had DJ Dennis for our wedding and he was so great with the whole process leading up to our wedding, I was very specific on what I wanted played at my wedding and I understand now that I programed too much of the night and was disappointed that everything I wanted played was not played and I understand the DJ has to play to the crowd, but I wasn't happy with some of the music choices, I thought he did a great job, but the last couple weeks I've been hearing from people that they didn't like the DJ at all, which upsets me because he is supposed to be the best in WNY. I was also led to believe CJ Sound was one of the only DJ's that could hook up to Rich's Atrium sound system, but the acoustics were horrible in there when the DJ spoke, he was very hard to hear. Dennis was wonderful, but wedding guests like to complain about everything and at my wedding they complained about the DJ. He did keep everyone dancing until midnight as I said before I thought he was great, I didn't mind songs I don't personally like being played that a lot of guests danced to, he did what he had to do and he did a great job with that. He did complain about not being able to play a lot of songs to a guest at my wedding, which I didn't appreciate him talking about me behind my back at my own wedding.
GUEST




We had Patrick Booth from CJ Sound as the DJ for our September wedding and he was wonderful. He respected my wishes for do-not-plays, played guest requests quickly, double-checked to make sure he was pronouncing all names correctly during the introductions, kept the guests dancing all night long and, most importantly, he managed to impress my father with his professionalism - something that is not easy to accomplish. I have recommended Patrick to othe friends who are getting married. Overall, it was a great experience and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Pat is the best.
GUEST




CJ Sound did a great job at my wedding. Every song I wanted to hear was played and the DJ (Dennis) had an incredible personality over the mic. We also got the lighting package which consisted of "uplighting" behind the head table along with lasers and blacklights. Everything looked great and it added a lot of character to the room! They are definitely worth the price and are easy to deal with.
GUEST




We chose CJ Sound because of a previous wedding we had been to where they were the DJ. Prior to our wedding, that was the BEST reception we had ever been to, & CJ Sound played a major role in our day being the BEST reception we'd been to :) Our DJ was Bart- he was great! He kept the energy up & the dance floor packed! He stuck to our play & do not play lists & even had a few surprises throughout the night that we perfect!
GUEST




Overall, our experience was good. They didn't get a perfect 5 because I didn't talk to my DJ until 2 days before my wedding. I'm not sure if that was my fault or theirs. And we had some communication problems in the beginning. Just ask for Bart when calling-he was awesome and put me at ease after the initial issue. Our DJ Pat Booth was great. He played ceremony and reception music with no problems. He played everything I wanted and nothing I hated. He orchestrated the grand entrance at the reception perfectly. I don't like DJs who talk all the time. Just play the music and he did. Overall, it was a great night and our friends and families were dancing fools. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pat Booth.
GUEST




I loved CJ Sound. I had a theme wedding and they were so flexible. They were able to find all of the songs that I requested. So were older songs as well as Disney songs. The music was wonderful. I would highly recommend them!
GUEST




DJ Dan was on the ball. He was able to find my college fight song for the introduction, and even found a song that is played at Gator games "We are the boys of ole Florida" during the reception with only 5 min. notice for the garder toss!!! He was fantastic!!

We used the Digital DJ after the band finished playing. I highly recommend it for an affordable option - our guests had a blast with it!
GUEST




CJ Sound is not getting at A because of some petty things on my part. First, I did not want the DJ to have an obnoxious banner hanging from the booth, and they told us they didn't have one, and yet there was one. It really bothered me, though I'm sure it's standard, I felt it detracted from elegant look we were going for at the reception. Also, they played the wrong version of the song I requested for the Father/Daughter, Mother/Son dance. It was the right artist, right song, but wrong version. I guess I didn't realize there was more than one version.
But I would without a doubt recommend them to a friend. They were very easy to work with and threw in free lighting because we were off season. The DJ, Bart, had the right personality we were looking for and played all of our "must play" songs and none of our "do not play" songs. I felt he didn't play enough of the Top 40 music I wanted, but I think that was due to my not being clear on the form you fill out for them before the wedding. Bart was very helpful in orchestrating the grand entrance into the reception and we all had a good time with that.
GUEST




Our DJ was very energetic, danced and had a good time along with all of our guests. He played everything we requested and left out what we didnt want. CJ sound was a great value for the price we paid. I loved it!!!
GUEST




Our DJ was Pat and we loved having him. He had a great 'DJ' voice, played all the music we requested, and kept everyone entertained. He was also good looking, which the single ladies at the wedding enjoyed.
GUEST




Great DJ!
GUEST




Our DJ, Dan, was fabulous! He paid very close attention to the wedding planner we filled out and help make the night all we wanted it to be. Highly highly recommended!!!
GUEST




Reception music was nice. Followed our play and do not play list closely. Communication before the ceremony was a little difficult, hard to get in contact with.
GUEST




They were okay....they played the music I requested. But when we wanted to buy an extra hour from them, they were not very accomodating.
GUEST




Ahhh...just average would be the best way to describe them. Lucky for me I have a very outgoing group of friends or this could have been a disaster. This guy definitely had no clue about how to keep a party going. We had to suggest he play some stuff that we could dance to...enough said.
GUEST




I want to start by saying that our reception WAS a good time... however this is the one vendor I am the most unhappy with. First of all, they didn't contact me to tell me who my dj was or anything until I called a week before the wedding (and multiple times leading up to this call) complaining. I finally talked to my dj, who seemed like a great guy and very personable. We went through my whole planning sheet and I felt very happy. Skip forward a few days (3 days before my wedding) and I realized I forgot to tell my dj something so I called the company and asked for his number because I lost it and they said "oh we switched your dj".... again, I wouldn't have known had I not called. So later that night I finally talked to Paul, who was to be my dj. Had to go through the whole planning sheet again. Get to the reception... one of my MUST PLAY songs was played during cocktail hour... it was somehting we wanted to dance to. I asked him to replay it, he assured me he would and never did. Introductions - he called my mother linda... her name is clearly written as Lynn. It wasn't until my mother went up to him and asked him to get the party started that he started our dances. There were about 3 songs that were on my must play list that did not get played, and they were important to us. Anytime we asked him to play something he would just say it was coming up. Then he started playing awful music and multiple people complained and asked him to switch it. He told my husband that people requested it (except NO ONE was dancing bc of it) and he told my brother in law that he was going with the mood of the people (apparantly not dancing is what he was going for). Also during slow songs that he said something about "for the couples" he played "I loved her first" by heartland.. anyone that knows that song knows it is NOT for couples, it is for a father daughter dance. He also played some other ones I didn't care for, instead of playing the slow songs on my must play list. Lastly, at the end of the night, my husband and I were trying to leave so we asked him to announce that we were leaving bc we wanted to make sure we got to say bye to everyone left. He gave me attitude and asked "what do you want me to say".. in my mind I was thinking, youre the dj think of something... instead I told him, very slowly, "say that the bride and groom are leaving and we want to say bye to everyone on the way out".... I can't tell you if a different dj would have been better, but if you book them, request not Paul.
GUEST




First of all, these people come HIGHLY recommended and I am not really sure why! Thye never responded to my emails/phone calls and our DJ was HORRIBLE! He would roll his eyes when someone ask him to play something and mispronounced EVERYONES names including ours!!!! He had everything written out the way it sounded so I am not sure what the problem was. The part that P***** me off the most is that he (Bob) walked out in the middle of our photo session to ask a stupid question and he was kind of rude about it. He did nothing according to planned and then stuck around WAITING for a tip. Which we gave him becuase we are nice but did not give him what we would have if he was anywhere NEAR good. When I called the place to complain... he gave me the run around saying that he is one of their best DJ's and he couldn't believe it. I have YET to hear back. We are VERY easy to please...but expect good service when paying so much money! DO NOT HIRE THEM. You will be sorry!!!!!! We were.
Vendor response to review
We are so sorry at your disappointment. We spoke with your deejay and he tells us that he did interrupt your session with your photographer. He did this at the request of you caterer who was concerned that your meals would suffer if dinner was delayed much longer. We apologize if his sense of urgency came across as rude.
We have also spoken with him about his response to song requests. Unfortunately, he did recall rolling his eyes, though this was not directed at the requestor. He received numerous requests for the Chicken Dance, which was on your “do not play” list. He rolled his eyes as a sort of private joke to himself. Unfortunately, this was an unwise choice on his part. Your deejay is sincerely sorry if anyone misinterpreted his responses as dismissive.
You deejay did say he mispronounced a difficult last name and he is very apologetic about that. He had it phonetically spelled on his notes, but apparently, in an effort to sound spontaneous, he was not reading along closely enough.
We train our deejays to pay close attention to details such a pronunciations, which is why he had the names spelled phonetically. Ideally, we ask our deejays to memorize the pronunciations. However, when there are a great many unfamiliar and difficult-to-pronounce names, the opportunity for mistakes increases.
Also, sometimes our deejays take the liberty of going slightly “off plan” if they feel that is needed to keep the energy of your party going. As you mentioned, your deejay is one of our most highly requested and he tells us that your reception was very successful with guests having an excellent time. Your deejay was not aware of your dissatisfaction during your event. If he had been, he would have done everything in his power to address your concerns. (While assuring that guests have an excellent time is part of our job, our number one concern is pleasing the bride!)
We also require our Deejays at the conclusion of every event to thank the client and congratulate them on their special day. I am sorry you read that as waiting for a tip. Our Deejay did however comment on the generous tip and certainly appreciates it!
While we may host over a thousand events each year, we try extremely hard to treat each one as special. We know how very important your big day is to you! We called to address your concerns directly with you, but have not heard back from you. In the event that we do not connect again, please accept our heartfelt apologies for any interactions that may have been misunderstood. And best of luck to you and your groom as you continue on your new life together.
