Professional Parties DJ Service

Andy was WONDERFUL at our wedding! Im still hearing great things about our DJ from our guests. At first my husband and I were worried that he was going to be a cheesy DJ, like all other DJ's we have seen; however Andy was awesome! We had no reason to be worried! He picked great music for our cocktail hour and throughout the reception. He even assisted my mother in law with our flash mob! Not to mention he is affordable too!

Andy is a fabulous DJ! He made my reception flow so well! From the music during cocktail hour until the last dance, everything was perfect. My husband and I had a set list of songs we wanted played, and Andy played them all as well as some other great songs he added in. It was so wonderful to hear our favorites played and really made the night special. Andy has a great personality and attitude! From the first time I talked to him on the phone he was upbeat and excited to be a part of our special day and he brought that energetic attitude to the wedding. I would recommend him to any bride and groom planning their reception. All of our guests commented on the great music and fun DJ! I would definitely hire him again. He has such a great presence and you can tell he loves his job. Thanks Andy!

Andy was great to work with. He met with us multiple times before the wedding to go through all of the details and when our wedding day came he had the whole thing down pat. He had the dance floor hopping the entire time which is not easy in the afternoon. Andy was great and kept the entire program moving all day. Our friends are already looking at having Andy for their wedding next summer :)

Andy, thanks for helping us celebrate our special day, we're glad you were there to make sure everything went smoothly!

DJ Andy was awesome. We are located about 35 minutes outside of Portland and he made several trips out to discuss the wedding with me, and calm my nerves. He was very flexible, obviously knew his stuff well, and had a great attitude.

Andy was an awesome DJ for our wedding! He kept everyone dancing the entire night with a great mix of oldies and more recent songs--real crowd-pleasers for both the younger and older folks. We had numerous guests comment on how awesome the music was!
Something else I really, really appreciated was his knowledge of the pacing of weddings. Andy's influence was not just on the music, but on the flow of the entire event. He really kept us on track in terms of timing, and helped direct us when we needed to get food, where we should stand during toasts, etc. He was the only person who told us how to cut the cake, too--a small but essential detail!
We specifically sought Andy out for our wedding after loving his work at another wedding. That experience combined with our meeting with Andy prior to the wedding made me feel secure knowing everything would go smoothly on the big day!!

We had SO much fun with Andy. We had some very original ceremony music choices, and he was ready and willing to make them work. And they worked perfectly! The reception music was perfect. It started out with some of our favorite songs during dinner, and then as soon as the dancing started, it kicked in to songs that kept people interested and on the dance floor. All in all, it was a perfect night, and the music couldn't have been better. I would recommend Andy to anyone who was looking for a DJ for any type of occasion. He really listens to what you want and makes it work for you.

Andy was amazing and so helpful throughout the entire process. He had wonderful ideas, access to every song imaginable and really made me feel like we had a plan for the wedding day. During the ceremony and the reception, his services were seamless. He did an excellent job of announcing my husband and I, giving guests information, knowing the wedding party names and coordinating speeches. I can’t imagine a more professional, fun, thoughtful and reliable DJ.

Andy did such an amazing job at our that people are STILL talking about it 3 months later !!! He went above and beyond our expectations and made is feel so comfortable. He was ALWAYS willing to sit down with us and go over any concerns we had and was aLWAYS very proffesional. I would not hesitate to recommend Andy for DJ'ing sevices... He makes the party !!!

This is going to be long, because where do I start without just saying the obvious? Andy was absolutely amazing the entire time! When we met him the first time we knew he was our DJ, he is so full of energy and is an all around enjoyable person. My father and I had a special dance we wanted to put together and we got a really late start on it. I was able to get in touch with Andy and meet with him in a 2 day period. I went through A Sound Choice Entertainment to book him, so I emailed Anthony and within a few hours I had a voicemail from Andy wanting to set up a meeting. I explained to Andy how I wanted the songs to mash together and relayed my ideas of what I actually pictured. I gave him a long list of songs and within 5 days he sent me a copy and it was EXACTLY what I had in my mind, I didn't have to ask him to change one thing about it. Andy had my ceremony list and reception lists, and he made sure to go over them with me, it was great he was genuinely concerned that he understood what I wanted.

Fast forward to the day of the wedding. We had a couple wedding day mishaps, not related to the DJ, but needless to say it was stressful. I arrived to my venue for pictures and went about our schedule before the ceremony at 4:00. I saw Andy arrive and expected to have to take time out of what we were doing to talk with him, like we had been required to do with all the other vendors that day. Andy is awesome though and unloaded and went about what he needed to do. He never interrupted us or needed guidance, he set up perfectly according to what we had talked about. I felt so relieved that one person in the day knew what they were doing! Come ceremony time we were running a little behind because guests were still arriving in large groups. Andy took this time to come and double check the music selections for which members of the party walking down the aisle and recessional music. He also took this time to come and congratulate us. All it took was a look and thumbs up from the groom to get the music started and the ceremony went off without a hitch!

Now onto the cocktail hour/reception, it was a seamless transition from one side of the lake to the other where the two different events were being held. Because of the hiccups earlier in the day, we were forced to take more pictured after the ceremony. Andy continued to play the background music until we were able to get to the intros at the reception. He met us just outside the reception area gave us congratulatory hugs and made sure we were ready. He explained what would be going on and out intro and first dance was again perfect!

The entire night's festivities went off without any issue, Andy announced everything and kept everyone in the loop about what was going to be happening and when. The toasts, cake, father-daughter dance, and bouquet/garter toss, Andy handled it like a pro. Throughout the night I changed my mind on a few songs and what was happening with toasts and he made the adjustments like it was planned all along. He was happy to oblige my changes and our thoughts on how things should be tweaked. He was very interactive with the crowd and that was something we really wanted and enjoyed, because it keeps people interested. We partied the night away with awesome music. He took what he knew we liked and mixed it with lots of other great music to keep the party going, because we love country, but we knew a lot of people don't we were worried the music might go south. Andy mixed it perfectly so that it didn't seem country was dominating, while still playing some amazing songs that we love! We were supposed to end at a certain time, but were having SO much fun we asked if he could keep it going for another 25-30 minutes. After a long day of working and being on his feet, without hesitation he agreed. We even made a last minute change to the last slow song we were going to make, and he changed it and chose the very last song to get everyone on the dance floor. The ending memory of my reception is being in front of everyone on the dance floor dancing to YMCA, seeing everyone dancing and smiling is an amazing memory I won't forget and it wouldn't have been possibly without Andy.

I would recommend him to absolutely everyone. Not only is he a great DJ and will keep your party going, but he is a genuinely great person which is something I value deeply. Thank you Andy for all you did, we wouldn't have had a wedding where all the guests were calling the next day and saying it was the BEST wedding they have been to, without you!

Andy was AMAZING! He was able to deliver the exact party we were looking for and kept our guests informed with the latest updates throughout the night without being overly vocal on the microphone. Andy got us excited about our wedding in all of our meetings prior to the event because he really is passionate about what he does. I would recommend him to anyone!! Thank you Andy!

A great DJ made an even bigger difference than we thought it would. Andy was just that. A very fun guy and extremely approachable. We could not recommend him to others any more than we do. You WONT regret choosing Andy for your wedding. Thanks again Andy!

Andy did a great job keeping the dance floor hopping! Everything from the ceremony to the exit went great, thanks again!

We are so lucky we found Andy to DJ our wedding. He was such a pleasure to work with before the big day and such a lively, fun addition to our reception! We would highly recommend him for any event, especially if you're looking for someone to be an involved, yet not overly involved, DJ!

Andy is the quintessential host of events. He has the skills and talent to make your celebration into the party everyone wants to be invited to. He is one of my favorite vendors to work with as he will bend backwards to do everything and anything he can to enhance your event and make it flawless. His execution is spectacular, his Master of Ceremony announcements are superb! If you need a master at creating a fun and lively party, Andy is the person to hire! We have worked with Andy for years and have enjoyed each and every event. We look forward to the next!

I always enjoy working with Andy at a wedding or event. He brings to every event an extremely positive and professional attitude, so important in a DJ and master of ceremonies. He is also really knowledgeable about every genre of music, and seems to know exactly when to play that perfect song that gets everyone on the dance floor. Not only does he know music, he gets to know his couples as well, and he fine-tunes the playlist to mix together those crowd-pleasers with the bride and groom's personal favorites.

Andy Gilbert worked as the events coordinator for 6 years at A Sound choice Entertainment. Andy proved himself as a great office manager and dj for the company. Andy preformed at over 450 events for A Sound Choice Entertainment. Andy started his own company in 2011 and is well on his way to creating a successful business model for years to come. If A Sound Choice can't help you, I would recommend Andy in a heart beat.
