Reviews for Decorative Sound




We have not had our wedding but when we met with Mike i was so happy with our decision. He seems like a GREAT guy. he came highly reccommended. i have contacted him a few times with questions (not necessarily pertaining to music) he responded very promptly and gave a lot of good advice- suggestions. he is not pushy at all. I am so glad we booked him and his company looking forward to working with him! Price seems very reasonable!
GUEST




Mike did our DJ service for our reception. All I can say is AMAZING!!! He was so thoughtful and helpful in the weeks leading up to our wedding. He even made us a disc of our ceremony music for no extra charge. He was so nice to us and helped us so much. He never put a time limit on the contact we had with him, or on our event. He even got me a much needed glass of soda at the reception when I was too busy to get it. We can not say enough about what an amazing job Mike did at our wedding. If we ever have another event that needs a DJ, we would definitely use him again!
GUEST




Michael did a great job keeping the party going. He was dressed to impress and was always checking with me if I needed anything. He always was willing to play any songs I wanted and was just so pleasant. You will not be disappointed with Decorative Sound!
GUEST




Awesome job! Everyone enjoyed the music all night long. Helped a lot to keeps us on track with wedding events. Would recommend Decorative Sound to everyone.
GUEST




We had seen this company in action for a handful of family & friend's weddings, and we knew we were going to LOVE having them at our reception. We had Tony as our DJ and he was on top of everything! He greeted us with drinks, poured champange for our taoats & released tables up to our buffet. Our guest complimented him & my entire family the next day said, it was the best recption they had ever been to! The special songs we requested he gave to us on a CD at the end of our night, which is so nice to have. I would recommend Decorative Sound to anyone!
GUEST




We couldn't have asked for a better DJ experience. Michael was great. He really took the time to find out what we liked and what kind of atmosphere we wanted. He was our DJ for both our ceremony and reception and kept people dancing all night!
GUEST




Rob from Decorative Sounds was fantastic!! Very professional, yet fun and kept the party moving. loved the dinner music and then pumped it up for dancing. Would highly recommend to all that I know!
GUEST




We had Nick as our DJ and he did a fantastic job. We met with the owner Michael twice in person before the wedding. We went over what songs were our must plays and what our picks were for the cake cutting, first dance, etc. He talked to us for a while and got a feel for what we liked and took notes and made a few suggestions here and there. He was very professional and knows his stuff! We picked out ceremony music and he made us a cd that we gave the venue to play. He even gave us a separate cd with general prelude music that we used. Very helpful! We went over what we definitely wanted played and hated and they paid attention to that. Nick made the night go smoothly and played all the songs we had asked for and when he did his own picks he did a great mix of oldies and new stuff. Which is what we like! And keeps everyone happy. We had a blast and I wanted to keep dancing at the end of the night. Nick gave us a wedding cd at the end of the night with all of our songs that we had picked and presented it to us at the end of the night. Some people might think they are on the expensive side, but I would highly recommend them and say we got our moneys worth! They try and go above and beyond to make everything go perfect and we really appreciated that! Thanks Nick!
GUEST




AMAZING!! Michael went above and beyond at our wedding. He played the perfect music for our crew! We got a lot of compliments about how impressive michael was @ our ceremony and reception.
GUEST




Nick was the DJ for our wedding, and saying he was only a DJ is a major understatement. Nick helped with just about every aspect of the wedding, he was incredibly professional and knew exactly what he was doing. The music was amazing and it made for an unforgettable nite, I am not sure what we would have done without him their!! My wife and I could not have been more pleased and to this day we still talk about the amazing job that he did. We would most certainly recommend Decorative Sound to anyone who is looking for a DJ for their wedding, and would definitely say you should try to get Nick for your nite if you can.

Mike knows how to get people out of their seats and does so with taste and class. He greeted all of us at the reception with a smile and a drink and did everything we asked. He was always available whenever we would call, great at offering suggestions, and very professional. He looked great at the reception, did all the announcements with no pronunciation mistakes, played all the right songs in just the right progression and offered to stay as long as we wanted. I think the music he provided at our reception was the best I have ever experienced.
GUEST




Rob was the actual DJ the night of our wedding. He was amazing! He played to the crowd's demeanor by playing the right song at just the right time. He checked in with us if we wanted or needed anything added or changed. We had him do our ceremony music as well and when we asked for suggestions for various songs to play, he was so helpful. The ceremony and reception went perfect! I would highly recommend Decorative Sound, from our first meeting, we felt confident that things would be done right and that was a load off our minds.
GUEST




Decorative Sound was great! We met with Michael before our wedding to decide on songs. We had a music themed reception and Michael was great about helping us sort through our song choices. The night of our reception our DJ was amazing and so professional!! He kept the dance floor full, which is exactly what I wanted.
GUEST




Michael with Decorative Sound was FANTASTIC from the time we booked him (2 years prior) to the time he left our wedding! He was more than just a DJ- he facilitated the entire evening to keep us on schedule- he asked us periodically through out the evening if we needed anything, he would get us drinks. He was very flexible- we made a few changes THE DAY OF and Michael didn't flinch- he was so accommodating! All of the songs he played were great! Our guests are still talking about our DJ as they can make or break a party and he definitely made our night! I strongly recommend him!
GUEST




These guys were amazing! Our DJ welcomed us off the Limo with waters and the rundown before the entrance. He was so professional and very down to earth. He poured our champagne, took special requests and played all the music we wanted! They also gave us a disc of our special songs to remember our night! Highly recommend this company!!
GUEST




I was really pleased with Decorative Sound! They had everyone up and dancing at our wedding :) I didn't even realize until the end of the night that most of my moms aunt's and uncles and older cousins were still there dancing!! It was nice to know that the wedding was fun! They played a great mix of music. It was nice to sit down with Michael (the owner) and talk about what was going to be played! I was really happy that I hired them to be my DJ :)
GUEST




I think Decorative Sound is one of the best DJ service specially designed for wedding party. Me and my wife thought it dosn't make any difference if we have any DJ or not. We could have played a soft song all through the wedding party that we couldn't feel a thing. But our experience told us having a DJ is absolutely adding glamour to your wedding.
Before the party began, Mike and his team took care of the venue decoration and music list planning. That saved a lot of time and work for us. During the process, they not only do their best to play the music we liked, but also converting atmosphere among our guests. Those songs and music shifted so smoothly and the guests really had a good time. We had nothing to worry about and we did our best to cater to the needs of our guests.
GUEST




Michael was absolutely fantastic! He did our reception and sound for the ceremony. We went through the night with every confidence that things were going right. He helped the party move along at just the right pace. Definitely recommend them to anyone!
GUEST




We thought they did an excellent job mixing up the songs, playing our requests, and kept the reception moving. They were very friendly and easy to work with. The price was also very reasonable. We highly recommend them.
GUEST




We did not have to worry about a thing at the reception! The DJ did everything from dismissing the tables for dinner to making sure we had our drinks for the toast and a glass of water at the end of the night. He was very professional and made sure we were happy all night. I would recommend them to any bride who wants a stress free reception!
GUEST




I could not be happier with how the music during the reception turned out. My DJ was great and my guests kept telling me how impressed they were with the professionalism of the DJ and how he kept the flow of the night going. The music that I requested was played and everyone loved the music. At the end of the night, I got a CD with the music that was played as a keepsake. Thank you for a memorale evening.
GUEST




Decorative Sound came highly recommended and they certainly lived up to the expectations. They took the time to find out what music I did and did not want to have played at my reception. They were also able to help us come up with song options for the cake cutting, etc.
GUEST




Awesome-our bartender thought we had hired a wedding coordinator-it was our DJ just make sure everything went smooth-which it did.
GUEST




We had Michael as our dj. He literally kept people on the dance floor all night long...I have never seen anything like it. Even our photographer and dj kept saying how they've never seen a dance floor so packed, even til the end of the night. He did the perfect mix of fast and slow songs. He also made sure that my husband and I had anything we needed at all times through the night. From bringing us drinks to occasionally asking if there was anything at all we needed...he was great! I'd recommend him to everyone. He made our evening carefree and made our wedding reception one that all of our friends/family can't stop talking about.
GUEST




Excellent DJ. Decorative Sound was the vendor we were most satisfied with overall. Our DJ was professional, unobtrusive, and extremely helpful. As we sat down to dinner, he took drink orders for the entire bridal party and got my MOH set up with her drink before the toast. He was invisible the majority of the time, but completely appropriate when making announcements. THe music was great and he had everyone dancing until the last song. The CD they give you is wonderful and we really enjoyed listening to it on the drive to the airport the next day.
GUEST




I felt like he had no idea what was going on. Then, when we arrived at the reception he had us all meet before he announced us, which was fine. Well, thankfully I glanced at the clipboard he had and noticed that all the information was WRONG! We had two meeting with, Michael, the owner, in which he went over everything we wanted, bridal party names, etc. He had it all written down, but what this guy had wasn't correct at all. I had to quickly change who was walking with whom and replace a bridesmaid that had dropped out months before. Then, we missed the anniversary dance b/c I was in the bathroom adjusting my bustle. He did it without us!! We went through all the songs they provided with a fine tooth comb to make sure we had what we wanted, but they played songs we had never even heard of before. My husband says that we just got the typical "wedding package". I remember the first song after the bridal party dance was an old country song, which I HATED. He also didn't announce our late-night buffet. I had to ask him to do everything and it was supposed to take all the pressure off of me. I was very upset and disappointed. Sure, the music was good, but was it worth $1000? Heck no.
GUEST




There are not enough stars in the world to tell everyone how satisfied we were with Mike and his employees! BOOK THIS DJ! They kept the whole party going until after we were already gone. They made sure we had enough to eat and drink! Absolutely the best investment of the day!!! Worth every penny!!!
GUEST




We had a great experience with Decorative Sound for both our ceremony & reception. A month before our wedding we sat down with Michael, the owner & he helped us out with picking out music for our ceremony. His ideas were fab! For my bridal march he turned me on to Eva Cassidy's version of of "At Last" & for our recessional he provided for us with an edited version of The Verves "Bittersweet Symphony", both songs fit us perfect! At our reception our DJ Nick did an awesome job with making sure everthing went great! He greeted & opened the doors for all our guest as they arrived, helped our photographers bring in their equipment & set up, brought drinks for our entire wedding party up to our head table, and most importantly, he kept our dance floor packed the entire night! We received several compliments from our guests about the fine job he did. He even gave us a CD at the end of the night with our formal dances & several other selections he played throughout our night.
GUEST




Outstanding! The dance floor was full through the last song. Michael was wonderful to work with and took the time to get to know us and our music preferences. You will not be disappointed with Decorative Sound!
GUEST




Decorative Sound went far beyond my expectations. They met with us a few weeks before the wedding to get a feel for the type of music we would like during the ceremony and reception. They give you the option of selecting every specific song that is played, or simply determining the genre and placing songs on play/do not play lists. They also assist you in planning the layout of the wedding reception, and work with the reception venue to be sure that everything runs smoothly. The day of the wedding, they arrive early and meet with the reception venue and officiant to make sure that everyone is on the same page. They also check with the bride and groom and assist to offer in any way possible - everything from retrieving important people for photos to bringing ice water out to the bride and groom. In the end, this company is a little more expensive than some other DJs, but it is well worth the extra cost. They go above and beyond the role of the typical DJ, and take a genuine interest in the couple's wedding. To top things off, they give you a CD at the end of the night with all of the music from your wedding. It seems like a minor feature, but it means a lot to be able to listen to this CD in the future.
GUEST




Anyone who is worried about getting people out on the dance floor should have no worries with Decorative Sound. Their DJs are the most professional and genuinely kind people you can find. Other DJs may cost less, but if you want the absolute best quality music and professional DJs you must use this company. Our guests talked about the amazing music the entire night, and even called us on our honeymoon to rave about the wonderful tunes played at our reception. Our DJ even made sure we had water outside for our pictures! If I could have paid them any amount I would have made sure that they walked away as millionaires because they were THAT good! Your wedding will not be the same without Decorative Sound. Trust me!
GUEST




I absolutely LOVED having Decorative Sound. I spent months researching everything from florists to cake, but when it came to the DJ I went SOLELY on the references from theknot.com and all of them were screaming "HIRE DECORATIVE SOUND!" We booked them after meeting Mike for about 45 minutes. Although they cost slightly more than some of the DJs in the area, they are WAY worth it. Mike really helped us pick the perfect music and keep things moving for our reception.
Our actual DJ, Rob, was fantastic. He handed me a water as soon as I got out of the limo and stepped foot into the reception hall. We had the best compliments about the dinner music and the dancing. The dinner music was a mix of my style and some of their classics and it was blended perfectly. During my Maid of Honor's toast which related to a song that she and I share together, Rob started playing the song ever so softly in the background and it just topped the whole thing off.
We had a wedding one month after ours and Mike was the DJ. Not only did he remember us, he remembered our "first dance" song and he played it for us. That meant so much to us.
I am so happy we worked with Mike and Rob and Decorative Sound. I know a lot of people say this, but we had more compliments about our DJ than anything else. They are worth every penny and more!!!!!
GUEST




tHESE GUYS WERE AWSOME! THEY PLAYED EVERYTHING WE WANTED, DIDN'T PLAY WHAT WE SAID NOT TO. WE ALSO TOLD THEM WHAT KIND OF MUSIC WE LIKED AND THEY PICKED OUT A BUNCH FOR US. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE
GUEST




Decorative was Amazing!!! I was so worried about people not dancing at the wedding, but boy was I wrong. Our DJ couldn't get people OFF the dance floor, they even offered to stay longer if we wanted. Our DJ went beyond our expectations by far. My husband and I felt like our DJ was our wedding coordinator because he kept the reception going smoothly and kept my husband and I up to date throughout the whole night with what was happening next. Our DJ played everything we wanted and there was not one song that I was disappointed with. Our DJ was early and meet with us and the reception hall and everything was set up and perfect. Our DJ was very professional, personable, outgoing, and definatley kept the party going. The DJ is the main person that I think makes or breaks a wedding reception, and our DJ was wonderful!! I could not have been more pleased with our service. The CD they give you at the end of the night of all the special songs is a simple gesture, but it is so nice to have. My husband and I love listening to our wedding cd on special occasions. I would recommend Decorative Sound to anyone looking for a DJ. They definately have my business again for any event I plan.
GUEST




This DJ is awesome. They don't give you a time limit, which is great, so you don't have to worry about music stopping if the party is still going. They dress professionally and make sure they make the bride and groom happy!
GUEST




Michael was great! He made everyone feel comfortable, and he emceed the evening very well!
GUEST




Mike was absolutely awesome to work with...he went above and beyond what I expected (he even made sure my drink was full without me asking)! Everyone at my wedding complimented the music---friends and even my grandma! Great variety, couldn't have picked a better DJ to entertain!
GUEST




Decorative Sound was a great choice for our reception music. They played wonderful tunes during the introductions. Great dinner music during our meal and everyone enjoyed the music afterwards and danced the night away. Michael had wonderful suggestions for the songs we might consider for the major nights events but at the same time we were able to choose anything we wanted. We were very pleased with the music, and the DJ.
GUEST




Rob from decorative sounds was a great DJ. He set up and played music outside on the patio for our cocktail party and inside for the reception. He was very professional and made sure he knew the pronunciation of each and every name for all the introductions. He played music he could tell the crowd was enjoying and made all the events at the reception enjoyable.
GUEST




Mike and Rob with Decorative Sound were such a pleasure to work with for the day of our wedding. It was so nice to meet Mike and see his passion for what he does. He had Papers for us that we could easily fill out our First Dance and Enterance song and everything which made it so helpful for us in making sure we didn't miss anything. We had some requests and they were able to fulfill them with no problem, even up to changing the first dance song the day before the wedding. Rob was our DJ and so wonderful and professional in his great Suit and Tie. He entertained our guest and kept them going all night! We really enjoyed our services from Decorative Sound and would recommend them to everyone!
GUEST




Michael is very professional. He did a wonderful job at our reception. Everything ran very smoothly and the dance floor was packed all night! I would definitely recommend Decorate Sounds to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding :)
GUEST




Mike and Rob were terrific. I would definitely hire Decorative Sound again. Mike really helped us pick out great music and was very good at listening to what we wanted. Rob was very professional and did a great job. Thanks, Decorative Sound

We read reviews to decide on a DJ company because a DJ can really make or break your event. We were so happy with Decorative Sound and the professionalism of the DJ and his ability to keep the party going. The only reason I gave a 4 for professionalism is that the owner works out of his house and not even in an office so he was not able to give us a copy of the songs we discussed during our meeting. We also though it was strange that he didn't have his database hooked up to a laptop to help brainstorm during our meeting when we couldn't think of particular songs that we had in mind. Not all of the songs we requested were played and a certain type of song that we stated not to play was, but it turned out great anyway. We had Adam, he was great!
GUEST




Decorative Sound was a mixed bag for us. When researching DJ's, this seemed like the right company to go with. Unfortunately, the overall package did not quite match up to the reviews we read. The owner, Michael is great to work with and helped in the planning process by being very flexible with our busy schedule. However, our planning meeting did NOT translate into the best possible music experience at our reception. We worked with a DJ, Monty, whom we had not met prior to the reception. Unfortunately, Monty was the exact opposite of Michael; he was not professional, not attentive, and did not cater to requests or guests needs. From messing up names, to restarting songs halfway through, lack of flow, or even not having songs on our MUST PLAY list. The level of professionalism was very low. He made rude comments about the bride and groom to guests, and would not play songs upon request...some songs he did not even have. Trust me, I am sure Decorative Sound, and Michael have great DJ's to provide. However, Monty is not one of them. If you can..try to see if you can meet with your actual DJ as well prior to the big day.
GUEST




Kind of disappointed with this vendor. We had some very specific requests (what to play, what not to play) that were not followed. We also had some of our guests complain to us that the DJ refused to play songs they had requested (they were told the bride or groom needed to make the request), or that the DJ told them their requests would be played in 45 minutes-1 hour. The DJ kept the party going, and was helpful, but we had to turn down a lot of their cheesy requests (a lot of "let's hear it for the bride and groom", etc.) We didn't wanted sometime to talk, just hit the play button.
GUEST




I was very disappointed with our service. They are one of the more expensive DJ's in the area, but came highly recommended. We felt we could shell out a bit more for less worries. The owner, Michael, assured us he would be there for the ceremony (we hired them for both). Well, he didn't. The guy showed up 20 minutes before the ceremony and we had wanted to start the music 1/2 an hour before. Then, he had the songs all out of order and there was a long pause between the end of the prelude and the processional song. I felt like he had no idea what was going on. Then, when we arrived at the reception he had us all meet before he announced us, which was fine. Well, thankfully I glanced at the clipboard he had and noticed that all the information was WRONG! We had two meeting with, Michael, the owner, in which he went over everything we wanted, bridal party names, etc. He had it all written down, but what this guy had wasn't correct at all. I had to quickly change who was walking with whom and replace a bridesmaid that had dropped out months before. Then, we missed the anniversary dance b/c I was in the bathroom adjusting my bustle.
