Dj David and Wendy were amazing! I loved utilizing the online portal for planning purposes. We received a several page document outline our wedding plan and s phone call with the Dj. The music was perfect and a great mix for everyone to enjoy! David also kept our bridesmaid dance a secret and worked with us in the planning and making it all happen. 100% would book again and ask for David!

Soundwave Entertainment was our DJ and Lighting team for our wedding and we were absolutely stunned at the amazing job that the whole team did. From day one, Les and Wendy were energetic and passionate about the vision we had for our wedding. They were communicative throughout the months leading up to the wedding and had a fantastic online portal to make planning simple, easy, and exactly like what we were hoping for.
In terms of music at the reception, Les was nothing short of phenomenal as a DJ. He understood the genre and vibe we were going for (classics that were family friendly), and delivered on it with his own touch. Plenty of people were telling us what a great job he did, but we could tell based on how busy the dance floor was. The lighting, done by Wendy, perfectly accentuated the decor in our reception venue and brought the place to life. Overall, everything was perfect and we wouldn't change a thing about our choice in Soundwave.

When looking for a DJ absolutely go with Soundwave Entertainment! They were excellent from beginning to end. We had DJ Les and he was an absolute professional and so kind and a pleasure to work with. His wife Wendy and the rest of the team are great as well. He gave us an amazing party and everyone complimented the music and had so much fun!
