Chris Saraiva - DJ Entertainment & Lighting

Chris and his team were extremely professional right from the get go. I work with a lot of people in the wedding industry and I have to say I was very impressed. We hired Chris for his DJ and lighting services. The ballroom looked beautiful and we had a blast. I think one thing that makes him so successful is his personality, you feel like you can relate to him and he takes time to get to know you and feel you out as a couple. If you want the WHOLE PACKAGE- Chris & Nelly Entertainment is the way to go!

Chris is the best DJ and lighting guy around. He played a huge role in making our day perfect. He did a beautiful job with lighting and his music was awesome, everyone was dancing all night long. If you are looking for a DJ and up lighting trust me Chris Saraiva is the guy

Chris Saraiva is hands down the best DJ you can have for your wedding. Not only does he provide music but he does an AMAZING uplighting job. We completely transformed the space for my wedding with ideas I had never even seen before! Not only did my venue look beautiful but the MUSIC did not stop and I have never seen a wedding where guests do NOT leave the dance floor. Our biggest concern was keeping the party rocking all night long and Chris did NOT disappoint. At the end of our night a majority of our guests were still partying. The music was upbeat and fun. He even played Portuguese music for my family! Throughout the entire process, Chris was professional and quick to respond to any and all of my questions or concerns. I am a type-A personality bride with a splash of OCD....if you want perfection..Chris is the DJ for you! Big mistake if you DONT hire him!

Chris went above and beyond to make our big day special!

Chris was so easy to work with. He was responsive with all my emails. He helped us so much with picking certain songs. He did both our ceremony and reception. He also did lighting for us, which came out beautiful. He kept the energy so high and everyone (of all ages) were up dancing the whole night. My guests are still raving to me about how much fun they had. I would highly recommend him.

Chris is awesome! He was so helpful while planning my wedding, whenever I had questions, he would get back to me quick! I would highly recommend Chris, he really knows how to work a party!

Choosing the right DJ was among the most important decisions for us. What's a wedding/party without great entertainment? Chris delivered and had our guests on the dance floor all night long. Briefly getting into the specifics. Chris really took the time to get to know us, offering terrific recommendations and advice. He's got an outstanding perspective on wedding entertainment. Chris' attitude and personality made it very easy to work with him. Just an all around great person. In summary, if your looking for a professional DJ to host your wedding, I highly recommend Chris Saraiva DJ Entertainment & Lighting.

We hired Chris for our June wedding after one meeting and never looked back! My husband and I were planning a destination wedding, so all of our meetings were over the phone and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ to work with. Chris was responsive, professional, and offered TONS of suggestions to make it the party we truly wanted. It was great working with him, and would reccommend Chris to any bride or groom looking to have a seriously fun wedding!

Chris is the man! He is the best DJ around! Our wedding was amazing and he played a big part in that. He is professional, talented, funny and outgoing, what more can you ask for? Thanks again Chris!

Chris is a great person and an even better DJ. He kept our wedding alive and active the entire night until it sadly came to an end. I cant imagine what our wedding would have been like if it had'nt been for Chris as our host!! Chris exerts himself with passion and confidence while truly understanding his clients needs. I'm so proud to call him a friend and highly recommend him as a professional!!

We hired Chris to do our ceremony music, reception music, uplighting and custom monogram. Before our wedding Chris was extremely helpful, answering all questions we had and giving us advice not even related to music! Chris went above and beyond what he needed to do and it was so nice of him. He was extremely helpful with our music selection, his office was extremely clean and his attitude towards his job was just amazing. He loves what he does and he thrives to make others happy!
The day of our wedding, we were amazed on how the upligting looked in the room. The pure white and blue made our room look like the perfect winter wonderland. Our custom monogram, a Bruins logo but with a C because of our last name, looked AMAZING!!!!!! The monoggram was in color and it just looked unreal.
Chris kept the music flowing all night long, the dance floor was never empty and ALWAYS packed! He know how to keep the crowd going! We still have people telling us how this was one of the best weddings they have ever gone to where the DJ was amazing! We would recommend Chris to anyone!
Again, thank you for everything you did!

By the way, we met with only one DJ during our searching and it was Chris. We would never look back at anyone...

We all want to remember our wedding day! Just how?!?!?!? The music and vibe provided by Chris Saraiva - DJ Entertainment & Lighting was on beat and remembered as a great influence how the day/night should be! Best day ever! Thank you!

Chris was great to work with leading up to the wedding as well as the day of. He was such a great help making sure everything ran smoothly the day of. I would most certainly recommend him to anyone looking to have their guests dance their wedding night away!!

It has been almost a year now since our wedding day already, this review is well overdue.

During the first meeting we had with Chris we knew right away that we wanted to him to be our wedding DJ. He was cool, hip, and super professional; we knew his style was what we were looking for to make our reception perfect.

We booked with Chris, as well and Nelly for our photography, and they were two of the best vendors we worked with, we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for service providers for their wedding day.

At first, we were looking for a DJ who would provide great entertainment services, some dance floor lighting to make the dance floor more special, and in our case, someone who understood our heritage to easily please our family’s selections. We got that and much more with Chris. By the time our wedding came around, we had also added the uplighting package for our venue, which turned out amazing.

Throughout the planning, we met with Chris a couple of times to initialize the planning and as we got closer to the weeding day to finalize everything. The online music selector was easy to use, and we also had help from him and Nelly to make some of our main music selections. Chris nailed our complicated friend’s last names during the introductions and kept everyone dancing until the end of the night.

We feel that Chris provided us with excellent service, as well as becoming a friendly familiar face who we wish the best for in his future.

Go Chris!

When we first saw you at the Bridal Expo at the Venus de Milo we knew we wanted to hire you to DJ our wedding; you were playing all the music that we love. Not only do you DJ, but you offer state of the art uplighting that looked amazing and you also helped us plan our wedding. You really get what you pay for when hiring your services. Everyone at the wedding mentioned that you were the best wedding DJ they have ever seen and heard. Everyone, including ourselves, had a blast and it wouldn't have been the same without you. You had everyone dancing until the very end. You made our day very special and for that we are very grateful. I would highly recommend you to everyone, and not just for weddings but for every occasion. We hope to see you soon and hire you again. Thank you for everything that you did for us.

Chris did an outstanding job on our wedding day. He was professional while at the same time very down-to-earth. He did a great job getting to know us and what music we love as individuals and used that knowledge to make our wedding day one we and our guests will never forget!

Chris at Sound Xplosion did an amazing job at my wedding. He had the entire room up and dancing. My husband :) and I danced the night away with our guests. Not to mention that my hubby is not a dancer, he had a blast. Chris kept the energy going throughout the night and played the perfect songs at the perfect times. Not only is he an excellent DJ, Chris is very proffesional. His attention to detail and coordination with our timeline made our reception run seamlessly. Our formalities were done as scheduled and we were able to enjoy ourselves and dance the night away. I would definitely reccommend Sound Xplosion for any event. I truly had the time of my life.

Chris was professional and engaged our guests all night. His high-energy approach and attention to detail was just what we needed to complete our wedding day! He responded promptly to our inquiries, and played all the songs we requested. Chris took the time to meet with us before the wedding to make sure all the details were right. His equipment was sleek and not cumbersome at all, and he tied everything together effortlessly. Chris exceeded our expectations and we are looking for reasons to work with him again!

Chris was AWESOME to work with! He really saved the day at our reception when the site changed their restrictions the day of and threatened to take away all music. He handled the situation professionally and quickly and we didn't even realize there was a problem. He was great with communicating during the planning process and we had a blast dancing the night away. I recommend his services along with his partner Nelly (Lumina Images) for photography. They are a great team!

Chris was amazing! My wedding was 4 weeks ago and I still keep hearing how awesome our DJ was! My photographer said that he's never seen THAT many people on the dance floor for the whole night. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun time! He also did my up lighting which came out AMAZING. What a transformation of the room that we had.

Chris was very personable and outgoing! Very easy to work with. He knew how to keep the guests on the dance floor and was very helpful in keeping the flow of our wedding, such a big stress off our shoulders! We also would highly recommend the lighting, it makes such a difference. Our guests are still complementing and talking about it! It the words of one of our guests, "A+ DJ." Highly recommend his services.

Chris was terrific, the whole DJ process was so great, Chris made myself and finace very comfortable and was able to help us throughout the whole wedding planning. His equipment is top of the line and made my reception hall look AMAZING! Chris is very outgoing and got the party started right away, I would not change a thing... Thanks again Chris for all your hard work!

"Chris Saraiva, who's that?" This was one of the best questions we asked while planning our wedding. Chris offers the oldest to the most current music, on high quality equipment which he frequently upgrades. His uplighting is amazing! It'll turn any boring room into a modern space. Chris works with you to make sure your party is tailored to what YOU feel is a good time. He even went out of his way to remix specific songs for me. So to answer the question: Chris is professional, energetic, knowledgeable, offers the best and will give you and your guests the best time. Months later I am still getting compliments from guest on how much fun they had at our wedding. What more could you ask for?!

THE BEST DJ AROUND THAT I KNOW BY FAR!! CHRIS ABSOLUTELY ROCKED MY WEDDING! EVERY SONG HE PLAYED ALL NIGHT HAD PEOPLE ON THE DANCE FLOOR..FROM THE FIRST TO THE LAST. HE IS VERY DOWN TO EARTH AND WILL MAKE U FEEL AS IF YOU HAVE KNOW HIM FOREVER. HE IS VERY FLEXIBLE AS FAR AS PAYMENT PLANS AS WELL.I HAVE BEEN TO MANY WEDDINGS IN MY LIFE AND I HAVE TO SAY CHRIS IS WITH OUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST OF THE BESTEST, . MY FAMILY N FRIENDS HAD MANY GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT HIM. CHRIS HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND KNOWS HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME WHILE STILL BEING A PROFESSIONAL. IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED AND LOOKING FOR A DJ THAT IS AFFORDABLE,FUN AND CAN ACTUALLY DJ THE LATEST TOP HITS ALONG WITH GOOD THROW BACKS..CHRIS SARAIVA IS WHO YOUR LOOKING FOR. HE BOOKS VERY QUICKLY SO DON'T WAIT TO LONG. ..THANK U CHRIS FOR GIVING ME AND MY HUSBAND THE BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES!!.WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND MADE SUCH GREAT MEMORIES..EVERYONE HAD A BLAST! WE HOPE TO SEE U AT THE NEXT ONE!!

Chris with Sound Xplosion did a great job for our wedding. We met several times before the wedding and we did not need to give him a lot of direction about what we wanted. He clearly knows what he is doing and he is very professional. He also gave us a lot of guidance and advice about our wedding invitations etc. He went above and beyond by recording an instruemtnal song that we needed so my husband's father could sing at the wedding. He was great all around. If we need a Dj in the future, we would definitely use Chris with Sound Xplosion.

Chris was excellent! Easy to talk to about what you want for your big day! He read my crowd so well and kept them dancing all night! He can be a bit hard to get a hold of because he is so busy but everything turned out great so it wasnt really a problem. I highly recommend Chris

We found Chris after meeting with several DJs. My husband and I both went into the consultation both agreeing that we would make our final decision at the end of the week. Needless to say we both fell in love with his presentation and booked him that day. I loved his personality and my husband love how clean his set-up was.

Throughout the whole experience, Chris was always there to answer your calls or emails. He handled everything amazingly and with a smile; made us both feel very much at ease. For us the reception (besides the cermony) was our biggest concern. I would highly recommend him for any weddings. He made it fun and exciting.

We were very happy with the services that Chris provided. He was extremely skilled in changing up the music to accomodate all the different guests at our wedding. All of my friends said they had a blast and my parents friends were also happy with the music and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Chris and Sound Explosion to anyone who is planning a wedding or any special event!

Working with sound xplosion was a positive experience. Chris was very helpful and orginized. He was flexible with his schedule which was great. He worked closely with us to ensure our big day went the way we wanted. His website is extreamly helpful when trying to plan out your reception details. His performance on our big day was excelent as well, there were no accidents like power loss during the songs he played or ackward pauses in between songs. My husband used to be a dj when he was young and said he did an awesome job. We have been to 7 wedding the year before we got married and he was by far the best dj of them all.

Chris Saraiva's service from Sound Xplosion was more then i could ever ask for. He made my wedding day so easy for us and was very professional. He made sure we felt that we were his top priority and went over and above to make us happy. You can tell his work is very personal to him and he holds himself to a high regard. His personality kept things fresh and exciting. As soon as dinner was over he had everyone on the dance floor ready to have a great time. Sense our wedding i have had many people tell me they had a great time and fully enjoyed our wedding. The fact that guests enjoyed our special day as we did meant the world to my husband and I. I can truly say i owe all the credit to Chris Saraiva.

Chris is absolutely fabulous. He went out of his way to find certain songs for us. He is very professional, extremely personable and an overall great young man!

Chris did amazing work at my wedding and was very helpful throughout my wedding planning process. Chris was always kind, knowledgeable, & professional throughout. Chris made my wedding day go smooth & put me at ease. I would strongly recommend Chris (Sound Xplosion) for any event you may need DJ or lighting services.

Chris was recommended to us by another vendor and I totally understand why. He created the feel for our wedding that we absolutely wanted. Throughout the evening Chris checked in with me to make sure everything was going smoothly, and even after last SECOND changes, he was able to adapt and the whole night was smooth sailing. Chris met with us and provided suggestions for songs, as one week before we didnt have our choices made. But he put no pressure on us and helped us right along.
I gave SoundXplosion 4/5 for responsiveness ONLY BECAUSE Chris' wife had a baby and he was moving office locations. So it was a crazy time for him, and I am sure we would have met more often if it wasnt for those events.
SoundXplosion is very professional without feeling stuffy. They are fun without taking over your event. My only complaint is that our wedding couldnt go any LONGER!!

100% recommended.

If your looking for someone very organized, professional,great personality and state of the art equipment then this is the company you want. Great to work with booked him for our shower and wedding great both times. Also refered him to a friend who booked too did a great job at that wedding too.

Chris was great to work with from the first day we met to the big day! He gave us lots of suggestions and ideas. We were thinking about uplighting, but were not quite sure - so he drove 1 1/2 hrs to our wedding venue to set up the lights so that we could see how it would look. He has a great website where you set up the timeline and are able to add songs to your Must Play/Do Not Play/Play if Requested lists. On our wedding day, he did the music for the ceremony & reception, along with the uplighting. He is also very flexible - at the last minute, I wanted to throw my bouquet and he set that up without a problem. He is very professional and reliable and great at his job. I received many compliments about the music & lighting! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHRIS/SOUND XPLOSION!

Chris was nothing short of amazing.
Our DJ quit on us with short notice and Chris welcomed the opportunity to take the job on short notice (even with a wife expecting any day).
We wanted a FUN, upbeat reception that would keep people on the dance floor all night---and i couldnt have even imagined a better fit. Everyone had a blast~

I recommend Sound Xplosion 100% for any event. Chris is a true professional!

Chris handled our wedding flawlessly. He was able to provide ample help with selecting songs, organizing the "flow" of events, and even finding a hard-to-locate song for the first dance. He was unfailingly professional, cheerful, and easy to reach when needed. At the ceremony, dinner, and reception, Chris blended in where necessary but also took charge of the mic and elegantly led the procession of events, such as cake cutting, father/daughter, and mother/son dances. He was able to "read" the crowd during the reception and he played songs that had our guests dancing the whole evening. Chris has natural charm and humor that made him a pleasure to work with. Our confidence in Chris as our DJ was well placed.

Chris is very experienced and passionate about his field. He could not have done a better job with our wedding and we got many positive comments about him from our guests. I would recommend him to anyone I knew without hesitation!

Chris Saraiva -DJ Entertainment & Lighting did a awesome job for our wedding!! I definitely would recommend him to everyone!! He did a terrific job with the lighting, and everyone was amazed at our wedding.. He kept EVERYONE dancing on the dance floor all night!! We enjoyed his services so much, we tried to book him for our 1 year anniversary, but he was booked for a wedding! Thanks Chris for the good job, and my wife and I will never forget the GREAT JOB you did at our wedding day!!!!

Everyone had a wonderful time at my wedding. Sound Xplosion was very professional and was fantastic to work with. The communictaion with the DJ was great, he was availbale by phone and his website was easy to navigate when planning my event. My family and friends enjoyed dancing the night away. I would highly reccommend Sound Xplosion. Thank you Sound Xpolsion for making my wedding reception a great success!

Sound Xplosion is by far the best DJ I have experienced. My husband and I were just married on September 12, 2009 and I am so happy that I chose Sound Xplosion. Not only was Chris quick to respond and professional but he was extremely accommodating. He went above and beyond what we expected. He offered several suggestions with different aspects of our wedding as well as suggesting other vendors or details that we may have missed or hadn't thought of. I have been to many weddings and have helped plan many weddings and I have never come across someone like him. He is very geniune and takes pride in what he does. He made us and our guests feel very comfortable. We had quite the diverse group of guests, from young and old, and the people that you would least likely expect to comment on the DJ came up to us and commented on how great he was. He actually never felt like a "DJ" but as part of our guest list. Professional, Personable, Prompt, Creative, Fun, Exceptional Service and a great price is what we received. I highly recommend Sound Xplosion for any type of function.

LOVE...LOVE...LOVE...Enough said. Chris Saraiva is an amazing wedding dj. Always professional and up to date on every song, piece of equipment and uplighting. He is the same amazing person in real life prior to and after your special day. If you get the pleasure of working with Chris, it is a decision that you will not regret. He totally rocks!!!

You will have a great time with Chris.... AWESOME DJ!!!
