Reviews for Split Second Sound
GUEST




Split Second Sound was absolutely amazing. My DJ's, Joey and Levar, were amazing. They made my wedding reception flow perfectly and I couldn't have asked for better DJ's. My wedding was no alcohol and they still got people on the dance floor! Any questions I had were responded to same day via email. They have many different package options for every budget. They made sure to call the week before the wedding and do a step by step walk through with me so I knew exactly what was going to happen. I didn't have to worry about anything on the wedding day and it was perfect!
GUEST




Split Second Sound is AWESOME! Steve was wonderful. Everyone still talks about how wonderful our DJ service was! Steve had the best personality. I would definately use them again!

I cannot say enough of what Jonny Piscitelli did for my daughter's wedding and reception. He helped us with organization, suggested songs for the various moments during the reception (such as cutting the cake, toasts, etc.) and handled the entire ceremony with perfect timing. If you are stressing over this major event in your son or daughter's life, please stop worrying and call Split Second Sound. You will be so glad you did. I know we were. I highly recommend them to everyone, no matter what the event.
GUEST




They are expensive but well worth it. There was not a dull moment at the reception. Levar is the best! He is very professional and asks you questions to find out what kind of party it will be and what the average age group is. Everyone was on the dance floor from the start of the night until the end of the night, not a dull moment. He's the bomb!! I would DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone!
GUEST




Eric was AMAZING he did everything that we asked of him and because of that had the party we wanted at our wedding. Thank you guys so much!!
GUEST




Split Second Sound did a fantastic job at our wedding. Our guest still talk about Vinny and how much fun they had! The dance floor was never empty and I just loved the two times Vinny got all our guest out on the dance floor. My step-dad even inducted Vinny into our family. It was such a great night! Thank you to Vinny and the whole Split Second...
GUEST




Where do I start? Jonathan and James (JD) were assigned to my wedding and they were, in one word, INCREDIBLE! As soon as the wedding party arrived, Jonathan was able to easily coordinate a few last minute things without interrupting the flow of our reception. From that point on, our entire reception ran smoothly and flawlessly with him coordinating. When JD got the dance floor going, there was nonstop dancing for 4 hours. He played all of the latest hits and the best of the best in old school r and b to keep the party moving! I’ve been told several times since our wedding that this was the most fun people had at a wedding in a long time. The dance floor was never empty…all toasts, announcements, introductions went perfectly. You get what you pay for! And I paid for an unbelievable and memorable wedding reception with the assistance of Split Second Sound. Quit playing around and hire these guys...and gals!
GUEST




Jonah with Split Second Sound was AMAZING! He was so much fun and did exactly what we asked of him! He listened to us, met with us, recommended songs when we needed help and then helped our wedding turn into such a great event!! It was so nice to have him "guide" us along during the night so we didn't have to worry about a thing! I would recommend SSS and Jonah to anyone- he was great! :) THANK YOU!
GUEST




Split Second Sound did an AMAZING job at our wedding reception. Our photographer actually recommended them, and so we decided to visit their booth at a wedding expo in Charlotte. The minute we met Jonny, we knew he was the perfect person to have leading our wedding reception. He was so friendly, and was willing to talk with me about wedding details as much as I wanted. The week before the wedding we had a lot of major changes and Jonny was very understanding and made the whole process so easy and fun. Throughout the entire reception he and Jesse were so energetic and overall fun people to be around. During dinner, Jonny went around to all the tables asking for song requests (and our friends and family LOVED this)! After the wedding our friends were so impressed to see them out on the dance floor. We actually had several other engaged couples tell us that they wanted their DJs to do the same at their wedding! Jonny and Jesse worked so hard that night (we provided them with dinner but we didn't see them take one break)! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. I honestly believe that they are the reason why we all had such an amazing time that night!!
GUEST




The Split Second Sound team of Levar and Jonah did an amazing job at our wedding. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the entire night. Levar and Jonah did a great job running the reception portion of our wedding and played some great music. We heard nothing but great things from our guests and would absolutely recommend Split Second to anyone!Thank you for helping make our wedding such a special event!
GUEST




Split Second sound was awesome! Everyone keeps telling us how much fun they had!They were great to work with and delivered everything we hoped! Would definately recommend them! :)
GUEST




Vinny and his crew made our night so memorable! They were quick to move the equipment inside when it began to rain. Our entire wedding party did not stop dancing once Vinny and his crew got the music going! Our 7 year old daughter was so into the music that she grabbed the mic and sang her heart out! Thank you so much for making our night so memorable!
GUEST




My daughter's wedding was 7/8/11 the lead MC/DJ was Jonny. My daughter had explained to him that the majority of the people at the wedding would be between 40 - 55, that her family loved music and to dance, the grooms family was very conservative and didn't dance at all. She wanted to make every one feel comfortable and have a great time. That is exactly what Jonny did. When my husband and I walked in, we knew that the reception was going to be great. The music was perfect, the MC'ing was fantastic, and the dancing was so much FUN!!!! With the fact that there was no alcohol, little kids, old people, young adults and a grooms family who doesn't like to dance, Jonny had a bit of a "challenge". But he truly was wonderful! He did a fantastic job of getting the party hopping, keeping the party moving, and making everyone feel comfortable, no matter if they were young, old or just sitting down! He was even able to get the grooms family out on the floor a couple of times. My five year old grandchildren (twins boy and girl) danced all night. I asked my granddaughter later what was her most favorite part of the whole wedding (she was the flower girl) and she quickly said "dancing" The song selection was great. Great mix of country, Motown and oldies! Jonny got out on the floor and danced with us. We all had so much fun. I'm still sore from all the twisting and shouting I did! I received numerous compliments all night, and later after the reception everyone wanted to know what DJ we used. I will be forever happy to recommend Split Second Sound. A very grateful mother of the bride!
GUEST




Split second sound was amazing! we had them do our reception, ceremony and cocktail hour music and it was perfect! they played great songs that had all of our guests all ages up and dancing, we had so many compliments on our entertainment and some of our friends wanted their information for events they were planning. They were very professional, friendly and flexible meeting with us in the evenings due to our work schedules, i would recommend split second sound to anyone who wants to worry less and have a dj they can trust to do an amazing job :)
GUEST




Split Second Sound was awesome!! We had more compliments on them then we did any other part of the wedding. They made me feel totally relaxed; I was never worried about what was coming or what I was supposed to be doing. They had the whole wedding reception completely organized and running very smoothly. Everyone danced all night long. It was the wedding reception I had always wanted. You will not be disappointed with them, trust me!!!
GUEST




We hired Steve of Split Second Sound for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and he and his team did an amazing job for all three. Each part of the evening exceeded our expectations, and music was a major priority for us. We absolutely loved working with Steve and the personal care he gave, prior to the wedding to meet with us, go over our music requirements and he made sure that everything was perfect for our wedding. He has such a great personality and great grasp on what will get people dancing, that he turned our reception into an amazing party. It was such a blast that guests from another reception came down and told us that our reception was blowing away their party, because our music/ DJ was so awesome! After having SSS and Steve DJ our wedding, there is absolutely no way we would every use anyone else and we can't thank them enough!
GUEST




When we first met with Vinny I had an idea that I want him as my DJ and in the first 5 minutes I was sold. When I first meet with each vendor I have a list of questions to ask each of them before we sign a contract. They usually go through their spiel about what makes them different and why we should go with them. Well we met with Vinny he had answered every question I had! On top of that, we signed a contract on the spot because he's just that good with his craft. His company has been more than accomodating. Also, Vinny's father-in-law sings Frank Sinatra and many of my guests thought it was the track singing. They had to do a double take! My guests are coming up to us saying how much fun they had at the wedding.They truly made our wedding unique and put our personalities into it. He is extremely thorough in making sure you are getting what you paid for, as well as making sure everything goes smoothly! Talking about everything going smoothly my wedding was rained out and when I found out that we couldn't have the wedding outside I was upset. Vinny helped calm me down and assured me that everything looks fantastic and they got everything handled! I will never forget that because I needed that at that moment. The rain didn't matter to me anymore, all that mattered was the ceremony and having a blast at the reception! Vinny always gave suggestions but never pushed his ideas on to us! I never had a doubt that Split Second Sound wouldn't deliver. Vinny and the Split Second Sound crew did an AMAZING job for our wedding (honestly I don't think amazing is a good enough description of what he did for Ed and my wedding)!
GUEST




Split Second did a great job at our reception. We had a slight problem with the microphone during my sister’s speech but they were quick to fix it! I was happy with all the songs we requested. Thought we might have more current “dance” music but I’m sure he got some requests from some of the older folks. Split Second was professional and it was great working with our DJ. He made an effort to get to know us and know what we like prior to the big day which was appreciated. We are thankful for his services and hard work!
GUEST




My wife and I cannot say enough great things about Split Second Sound and especially Steve. SSS was very easy to work with. We were able to Skype with prospective SSS DJ's, and this allowed us to find the right person for us without leaving our home. We connected with Steve right away. He was happy to offer up ideas and suggestions to help the order and flow of the reception, but never pushed his ideas on us or made us feel pressured. He was an ideal partner in orchestrating our reception. Steve's experience really shone through during the reception. To quote Steve, "When you guys get to the reception, all of the hard stuff is over. You guys can enjoy yourselves and I'll take care of everything from there." That's exactly what happened. Most importantly, we always felt that our input was valued and put to use. We heard all of our suggested music both during dinner and dancing. He kept the party going the whole night. Thanks to Steve and his partner Gwen, our reception was a night we'll never forget.
GUEST




We had heard wonderful things about SSS through our wedding planners, The Charmed Event, but you still never know what to expect. We were so incredibly happy with Jonah and his team. They played every song we asked for and didn't play anything we asked him to stay away from. He had everyone up and dancing...even the older people that we didn't think would! It was perfect! He even knew exactly how to stall when I forgot my garter for the garter toss! Would HIGHLY recommend SSS and Jonah specifically to DJ your wedding!
GUEST




I absolutely loved this company. I had several friends recommend them to me. They were amazing! DJs Jonny and Mike made my wedding day all the more memorable and special. Everything was seamless from beginning to end. These guys are truly gifted. Not only did they DJ, but they were so much more. They are exactly what they claimed to be, party motivators. They made the party. They kept the crowd involved and they even danced with us. We had the most compliments on their services. I was 110% satisfied. I would recommend them to anyone.
GUEST




Split Second Sound was AMAZING!! We were married on June 4, 2011, and Johnny was our DJ.....he got everyone up and dancing, and it's two months later....and we still hear about how much everyone loved him!! Highly recommended!!
GUEST




Joey and Lerone did great! We had a fabulous time! They were both very professional and friendly with our guests. Everyone enjoyed the music and dancing. I would say they were just what we wanted. Thanks Split Second Sound!Amy
GUEST




Split Second Sound entertainment is great!! We hired a "billy joel" piano player for our cocktail hour and a dj for the reception - they were both fantastic!! The dj's are personable, truly take into consideration what the bride & groom want for their wedding, as well as gets to know the guests and what they'd like to hear. They are professional, take the time to get to know you and communicate!!
GUEST




We got married on May 29th and made the wonderful decision to have Split Second Sound do our music for both our reception as well as our ceremony. Jonny and Eric did an amazing job getting our guests to thoroughly enjoy every minute of our classy party! They played exactly the right music to get everyone dancing and on top of that, they helped coordinate the entire reception. We've gotten many compliments on how seamless and fun our reception was and I give all that credit to Split Second Sound!
GUEST




Eddie & Jon were INCREDIBLE. Being wedding photographers ourselves, Walter & I both know how important a good DJ is to a wedding. It can completely ruin or make the reception. Eddie & Jon definitely made the reception. It could not have run any smoother or been any more perfect. I am going to insist my brides & grooms book Split Second Sound because I know how easy they made our wedding. I didn't have to think about anything. Everyone danced at least for one song, even grandparents. I can't believe how many people danced & had a blast. I have heard nothing less than "best wedding ever" from all my friends and we definitely owe it to how awesome Eddie & Jon were. Thanks so much for making it PERFECT!
GUEST




Our DJ, Mark was wonderful and really brough a lot of energy to our reception! Split Second Sound really does a great job reaching out to you and really learning what you want your reception to be like and how the DJ can play a part in making that happen! We were very pleased, to say the least, with Split Second Sound!
GUEST




I asked for club type music but when I came back from changing into my second dress I found that beach music and 70's had been playing for the last 15 to 20 minutes. He did change it once I told him too but it would have been nice if he had listened the first time - before the wedding.
Vendor response to review
She's right. The DJ had a lot of requests from her guests to play older music and figured when she was out of the room to try and have them enjoy some songs and changed it when she came back. They danced the entire party so it was very successful, but she is right, she wanted nothing but club music and the DJ tried to have others enjoy the party as well.
GUEST




Split Second Sound did an amazing job dj-ing our wedding recently. Derek was awesome and kept the crowd moving on the dance floor the entire night. He also kept the wedding very organized which we greatly appreciated. We highly reccomend Split Second Sound to anyone!!
GUEST




My husband, Craig, and I were married on April 30, 2011. We held the reception at Bonterra in Dilworth and from the moment we arrived in the parking lot, until we pulled away four hours later, Steve was exceeding my expectations! He met our car as it pulled up and quickly started lining up the wedding party and verifying the introductions. He quickly coordinated our entrance and kept everyone captivated as we moved into the first dance. From the bouquet toss to the cake cutting, Steve was right by our side making sure the timing and execution was perfect. Not only did we have a perfect, seamless reception, but the music selection was awesome and the dance floor was packed the entire night. Split Second Sound is reasonably priced and they demonstrate unmatched customer service! They provide you with a worksheet that lets you plan out the entire event from start to finish. I was able to pick "Must Have" songs and "Absolutely Do Not Play" songs, as well as coordinate specific songs with different events throughout the reception (cake cutting, garter toss, etc). Steve kept in touch leading up to the wedding day to make sure all the details were ironed out and I had his cell phone number to add in any last minute changes/requests. I wish I could do it all over again! Thanks a million!
GUEST




They know how to party! posted 5/13/2011 Split Second Sound did an awesome job with our wedding reception! We actually had an emergency situation happen at our wedding, and as most ppl do, everyone felt the need to leave the room to see what was going on. Derek, the DJ, was VERY proactive in getting the party pumped back up to get everyone back in the room. He did an awesome job and before we knew it, everyone was back in the room and having a great time. Thanks to Split Second Sound, we have an amazing reception and would give anything to re-live it!
GUEST




JONNY & ERIC J....EFFORTLESS, GREAT, PHENOMINAL, BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS, TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!! Split second sound is such a great group of people that really assures the party and environment that every wedding desires! I had the best time and everyone continues to talk about the DJ's because the DJ will make or break a wedding but I can testify that SSS is truly the best and huge kuddos to Jonny and Eric J. You guys made my dreams come true and totally effortless. I cannot thank you guys enough!!
GUEST




I booked Vinny for my wedding and I have nothing but great things to say about him. He and his team were very easy to work with and fun. Everything went very smoothly and all my guests kept telling me that they had never had so much fun at a wedding! Vinny knew exactly what I wanted and he delivered.
GUEST




My husband and I were married on March 13, 2011 using Split Second Sound. We knew Joe through church, so he was a great match for our needs. We weren't looking for the typical wedding party environment, and requested music for to match. In addition, we also wanted to incorporate my husband's Cuban roots with various songs. Joe did a great job incorporating all of our requests and managing his time since the reception was shorter than average. SSS is very professional and responds quickly to your questions. Would highly recommend!
GUEST




Our experience with Split Second Sound exceeded all of our expectations! Jonny and Joey were awesome!! Jonny really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted on our day. We met with Jonny a few times before the wedding and he was willing to meet anywhere at any time, he was flexible to our needs. Meeting with Jonny we knew right away that he knew what he was talking about and he loves what he does. Jonny and Joey knew that time was important and we wanted the most dancing time possible, and the way they made everything flow was great. Once we hit the dance floor, no one ever sat down. The music was awesome! They played all of our "must haves" and didn't play any of our "no ways". No one wanted the party to end. It's months later and people still talk about how our wedding was the best and most fun wedding they have ever been to!! If we could, we would re-live the night over and over and over again. I can't say enough great things about them! I would highly recommend Jonny and Joey for any occasion!
GUEST




Split Second Sound is the best DJ service in Charlotte! They are so professional and nice. Any time I emailed with a question, I got back an immediate response. Some wedding vendors will blow you off for weeks - they never did this! Dennis and Neil were the DJ's at our wedding and they were really fun! My friends had a blast and I know it's because they played great music!
GUEST




The DJ was amazing. They were very professional and my guests loved that they could request songs while we danced!
GUEST




Awesome job!! From setting up the music scene on both sides of the house (literally) to setting the mood throughout the evening, the guys at Split Second Sound were amazing. Highly recommended.
GUEST




Vinny was great to work with. Although there was some confusion and communication issues, Vinny worked through them and worked everything out for my big day. He even worked very well with me to create the elaborate entrance and reception flow that my husband and I dreamed of. Our guests had a great time dancing, and the night was a true party because of Vinny. They are one of the more expensive DJ companies, but they do an excellent job with not just the music, but the flow of the reception.
GUEST




Everyone had a fantastic time...They kept the party going. I don't think there were more than 3-4 people left in their chairs by the time the cake was cut! Great Great Great!!
GUEST




As parents of the bride, we must share with everyone that we were 100% pleased with Vinny and Split Second Sound!We were introduced to Vinny Esposito through our Wedding Planner. Split Second Sound was exactly what we were looking for. We met with Vinny once in the beginning of the wedding planning process. After we left our initial meeting my daughter grabbed my arm outside their studio and said, “Mom… I’ve got to have them!” Without giving away what I consider their trade secret to getting the room up and hopping… I will say Vinny definitely has a unique way of approaching his events and how his music and show will entertain even the most difficult of crowds. In our opinion the musical entertainment can make or break the best of weddings/events. We were very concerned that our 10am wedding wouldn’t have the same memorable “splash” as most evening weddings. (There is something about dancing past midnight that everyone loves!) We were not disappointed! Vinny was fabulous! You only get one chance at your daughter’s wedding… it is important to follow the advice of your wedding planner and the professionals she puts before you. We’re glad we did! Thank you Vinny for helping to make our daughter’ wedding day so special! Marye Jo and Greg (703) 966-2014
GUEST




By far the best DJ I have ever seen...our guests were on their feet all night... Even some of our waiters would dance as they passed through the dance floor, and my husband's 80+ year old grandparents were on the dance floor for most of the night... Two of my bridesmaids have requested his card for their weddings. Everyone commented on how good Vinnie and his assistant were...So many people came up to me after to say "That DJ was awesome"...and "I've never had so much fun..." We took Vinnie's suggestions on when events should take place (and in what order), and the night was perfect...we knew he was worth every penny from the moment the introductions started. He knows how to make the night flow from one event to the next and what works best to get the crowd involved...Also, one of my pet peeves at a wedding is when the music is so loud that you can't carry a conversation with other guests. I was concerned about this with our venue since our ballroom was on the smaller side, but this was not a problem with Vinnie...The music was just loud enough to get people up and dancing, but quiet enough that they could easily carry a conversation when not dancing. Vinnie has a unique way of getting people involved...I HIGHLY recommend him!!!!
GUEST




We could not have asked for a better group to work with! A DJ is so important to how the wedding reception flows and how much fun your guests have. We all had a blast! Split Second Sound is a very professional group. They really know what they are doing. They were great at getting the guests involved and getting people to really enjoy themselves. We were very pleased.
GUEST




Split Second Sound was fantastic. They kept the party going and everyone had a great time!
GUEST




Neil and Rasheed did an excellent job for both our ceremony and reception. We left the music selection for the reception up to the DJ's and they did a superb job choosing songs. Rasheed kept the entire evening exciting. They are a little expensive but I feel you get more than what you ask for and an unforgetable wedding!
GUEST




Split Second Sound offers a variety of different DJ's that you can pick from (provided they are not booked in advance for the day that you need them). They are not like your normal DJ that is trying to advertise at the event they are currently at. They try and customize their services to what you would like/ need for your day.
GUEST




Defiantly recommend Split Second Sound! This DJ provides a worry free service for you wedding! Give them a call!
GUEST




They did a great job and came highly recommended. People still are telling us how much fun they had, and dancing to great music was a huge part of that!
GUEST




Split Second Sound is AMAZING. Vinnie was very easy to work with, and very helpful in helping us choose a package to suit our needs. They are very well priced, and worth the money. Our DJ met with us to discuss our likes and dislikes, and was very good at gauging our crowd and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. Definitely an excellent choice.
GUEST




Vinny is awesome and I really wish I would have been able to book him. Although, he wasnt available and I was put with someone else. The package I got included 1 DJ and 2 crowd entertainers. I would recommend to meet with the crowd entertainers awhile before your event instead of 1 week prior. One of the crowd entertainers was more like a mute and no one ever even knew this person was there.. not sure what they were suppose to add. The other one was just only marginal.. nothing great. The real thing that got me was I purchased the audio/video package and put hundreds of pictures together in separate folders that was to go along with certain songs for the reception... i spent HOURS on this project and only a few pictures were shown. I also printed out a list of reception music i wanted played and nope, only got maybe 20% of that. So i was disappointed in my DJ selection. I think if I had had a point person to go tell them what to do it would have helped.. although, i thought that was why i met with them prior.If you do pick this company really try to get Vinny.. i heard he rocks.. its the crowd entertainers that are worrisome.
Vendor response to review
The Bride is very cool and their guests were very nice. My only discrepancy with the review is the bride and groom received a new truck and left for about 45 minutes driving it and missed almost all the photo's that were playing. We did play all the pictures she gave us, she just didn't get to see them. The extra motivator didn't work the crowd because we don't like to be pushy and the guests were the type that didn't want someone getting them to the dance floor until they got there buzz on, so she was more just help pick songs and talk with people for requests.Overall, we thought their guests enjoyed themselves and the feedback from some guests were that they enjoyed the party. Not every wedding does everybody dance, but as long as they enjoyed the experience of being there, it's a success.
GUEST




They were so great! Did an awesome job and totally made the party! Knew the best way to set up the order of the reception to make it flow but not feel rushed and get all the "events" of the evening done quickly so the rest of the evening could be spent enjoying all the friends and family that came to the reception!
GUEST




Vinny and team are amazing! If you don't hire this DJ your wedding won't be as fun. Vinny and his wife did my brother’s wedding back in 2001. We had such a great time that I KNEW I'd call on them for my own one day. 7 years later... We still get compliments on how amazing our wedding was. The one comment that is consistent: the music and atmosphere (created by Vinny and team) was out of this world. We had tables singing songs together, cheerleaders performing stunts, military men brought to their knees... You will not have a cookie cutter wedding DJ with Split Second Sound! He truly made our wedding unique and special.




We like that SSS came with 2 DJs, one acting as an emcee, and they had a pretty neat light set-up. What we didn't like was that the music that was played before the dance music was definitely not what we asked for. We had wanted Sinatra/Buble/Connick music and they had some kind of Rod Stewart/easy listening nonsense. At one point, my husband and I looked at each other and said, what the heck are they playing?!?! Even my mom came up and told them that they needed to play some more upbeat music. After they started playing the music we requested, everything was fine. The one DJ did a great job of working the crowd, especially my grandmother!




Our DJs were so much fun! I chose Split Second based on several great referrals from friends and family members. My husband and I wanted DJs who would get the reception crowd moving, and that's exactly what we got. Our reception was a blast for us, and Split Second was instrumental in creating a fun environment for everyone.
GUEST




These guys came highly recommended. I know of two couples that scheduled their wedding date around Split Second, specifically Vinnie's, availability. We were not disappointed.
GUEST




AMAZING!!! Had so much fun!!! Played all the right songs and kept the crowd going!!
GUEST




DJ Joey and his assistant helped create that meaningful, fun and excited day I've always dreamed of.
GUEST




I heard from several people how wonderful their services are and we were happy with 90% of their services. Our DJ package included 2 DJs, one to play the music and the other to coordinate all the events at our reception and interact with guests on the dance floor. They both did a great job. The only drawback was they did not have a large selection of songs AT ALL! We probably should have been more specific in our reception song playlist, but several songs that were requested by our guests they did not have! The reception had great energy though and I was dancing all night long, but I would have preferred better music (less 70s dance/"typical" wedding songs and NO ELECTRIC SLIDE!).
So much fun to work with!!! Always a pleasure!
Split Second Sound is absolutely the best entertainment option. Vinny and his professional staff of DJs are never cheesy or intrusive and always make sure the dance floor is the place to be during the party. We've been working with this team for years and always admire their consistency in excellent entertainment.
Split Second Sound is a fabulous company that we love working with!
As a planner I cannot say enough about Vinny and his team at Split Second Sound! The most professional, experienced DJ company you will ever work with. Their energy is simply amazing and they will keep your dance floor hopping all night long (and they will likely be dancing right along with the guests!) Split Second Sound is definitely the way to go for dependable service and professionalism and an overall outstanding experience!
I love working with Split Second Sound. It's always a great celebration and they do SUCH a great job at hosting the event!
I am always excited when I know that I will be working with Split Second! I know the reception will be a blast and handled with perfection! I would highly recommend them to any of my clients!Sincerely,Tommy McCartTommy McCart Photography
A simply professional organization in every way. Attention to detail and excellent customer service are their fundamental pillars.
The Split Second Family has continuously impressed my clients and myself. They gage the crowd and will do whatever it takes to get the party going. As a wedding planner I appreciate their understanding of the complexity of a wedding day - they work with me which makes the day go wonderfully every time!
We absolutely love the professionalism and quality level that Split Second Sound provides to our clients. They are experienced at reading the crowd and knowing which songs to play at the most appropriate times. They truly listen to our client's needs and wants and make sure to implement those on the evening of the event. Vinny and his staff are fabulous!
Split Second Sound is the best! I have worked with countless DJs but Vinny and crew go above and beyond any company out there. They have an energy supply that never runs out. You may not need chairs at your reception!
The Split Second Sound team will not let you down! It is really amazing how much training each DJ receives, and they are the best at keeping your guests up and dancing (without being that obnoxious MC). Split Second is super easy to work with - you and your guests will have a great time!
Can say enough about the guys from Split Second Sound! Professional, fun and great coordinators!
Having worked with Split Second Sound and their team for the last six years, I can honestly say hands down they bring the house down!! From the first meeting to the last tune played, they remain true to professional core values. Once everything is said and done, you'll have new friends for life...it won't be the last gig they play for you!! Warmly - Weddings and the CityKristin Vining Photography
Vinny and staff are just amazing. They will absolutely "MAKE" the wedding. All the DJ's are professionaly and have so much energy. They know what a party is supposed to be and pull out all the stops to make your an event to remember.
Fort Mill Photography has worked with Split Second Sound on many occasions in the past several years and have always found them to be at the top of their profession and always a class act. They remain on the top of our referral list to our current and future clients.Shirley WedraOwner/PhotographerFort Mill Photography
About Split Second Sound
In 1988, Vinny took his PA and some recording gear, teamed up with a friend & opened a one room rehearsal/ recording studio. They called it “Split Decision Studios, Inc.” Within a year, they moved to another location so they could expand to 2 rooms & upgrade to 8 track recordings. By 1991, Vinny now expanded into a 3rd room that was featured as a huge concert room. It was used by high profile bands, to others shooting videos, to actually having multiple band concerts.
In 1994, Vinny teamed up with his new partner, his wife Diane and cut up that concert room to make 5 more rehearsal rooms at the same time expanding the recording studio from 8 track analog to 16 track digital. By 1995, the studio expanded to a total of 14 rooms and a state of the art 24 track digital recording set up. While the studio was growing, the mobile company called "Split Second Sound" kept growing, doing more DJ work, and handling live sound for other bands. As well as, Vinny even playing guitar in a top working NY cover band called "Diana".
In 1999, Vinny & Diane sold their interest in Split Decision Studios, but took the mobile company “Split Second Sound” with them in their move to North Carolina. Work came quickly as Vinny hooked up with General Johnson’s company “General Entertainment”. As word of mouth spread, Vinny & Diane needed to hire & train assistants to keep up with the demand for their quality services.
Since moving to NC, Vinny has worked with national acts like the Sugar Hill Gang, The Original Drifters, The Shirelles, The Del Vikings, The Coasters, Billy Joe Royal & Fastball and regional acts like Chairman of the Board, Continental Divide & Charity Case featuring Ace from the Kiss 95.1 radio morning show in Charlotte.
Audio Video HQ hired Vinny to mix the live/media feed at the Charlotte convention center for events like the 2000 NC NASCAR Hall of fame ceremony, Microsoft’s Corporate Party for 2000 & 2002 & other major events including a live mix for a Bud light commercial for NBC during a “Friends” episode. Dodge used Vinny to mix sound before a NASCAR Race at Darlington in 2002. Vinny was the New Years Eve host & DJ for the Park Vista Hotel & Convention Center in Gatlinburg, TN for the 2000, 2001 & 2002. He has mixed at Charlotte’s Speed Street festival, Center City fest as well as smaller town events & festivals. Diane put together a version of her NY band “Diana” and performed a major festival with Billy Joe Royal and other regional bands.
The reason for growth is “years of experience & catering the the exact needs of his clients, along with a friendly & positive attitude”, states Vinny. “No client is too small to get our full attention”. Now Vinny & Diane have formed partnerships with several talented MC/DJ’s to form an incredible, yet unique Mobile DJ company that can do it all. “The key ingredient is all of our personalities” says Vinny, “We love what we’re doing & we pass that passion on to the people that hire us”.
By mid 2008, Split has 15 experienced and trained entertainers ranging from MC/DJ’s to DJ’s to dancers/party motivators. “We are always training and trying to work in new talent” Vinny explains. “You have to try and reinvent and perfect our product everyday, taking new ideas and push the high level of standard we set for ourselves to a new, even higher level all the time”.
In 2009, Split grew 48% without any advertising during a recession. Split now stands in 2010 with 25 MC's, DJ's, Party motivators and dancers and 3 office personal on it's staff as the clear choice of the Carolina's as people are booking Split in Richmond, VA, Raleigh, Asheville & Chralotte NC, Charleston and Columbia SC and as far a Savannah GA and Vero Beach Fl.
