Chris was absolutely phenomenal from the first phone call to the moment he left. We were most anxious about booking a DJ because we knew how much a wedding can ride on a good DJ, and he blew us away. First off, his technology is second to none. As soon as my brother (who is in the music industry) saw the antennas, and his iPad controller setup he said he knew he would be great. On top of setting up a system for the outside ceremony, then quickly getting back inside afterwards to start cocktail ceremony music, he even asked if he could help my sisters with setting up the reception hall. We can't say enough good things about Chris and Capital City sound. He did an amazing job all night, kept the dance floor FULL (of all ages), and kept us on schedule. Would recommend him 10/10.
We had Chris from Capitol City Sound at our wedding and he did a phenomenal job! He made sure to play all of our special songs exactly how we wanted and include all of our song requests at the best times. Everyone was talking about how nice the music before the ceremony and throughout the reception was! I couldn't have asked for a more attentive and helpful DJ!
Using Chris Leas and Capitol City Sound for our wedding DJ may have been the least-stressful part of wedding planning! As soon as I reached out to Chris and confirmed he was available for our date, I was fairly hands-off. I know other couples who made the entire playlist for their weddings...I was able to talk to Chris about the type of music we liked and he handled everything else. I didn't have to worry about any logistics or coordinating with our venue - he handled everything. We had a great experience and would recommend Chris and Capitol City Sound for your event!
Chris was very helpful and easy to work with. He had many great things to offer to make our wedding day special. The music was awesome and he did a great job of keeping the dance floor busy all night long. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding day.
We can not Thank Capitol City Sound enough for DJ our wedding. They did an amazing job. Helped us to pick songs for all our special moments for the night and took requests from guests. We had such a fun time! The uplighting was perfect and made our reception look even better. We also had a photo booth, which was so much fun! They even had a purple background to match our wedding colors! Chris and Brenden were Awesome! Kept everyone entertained and dancing all night long! Highly recommend capitol city sound for all your DJ, uplighting and photo booth needs!
Chris was very easy to work with. He took all the stress out of determining what songs to play. The added photobooth was perfect for our wedding. He is very flexible and helped make the day great!
We were referred to Capitol City Sound in 2018 to plan for our 2019 wedding. When we met Chris Leas we were both very comfortable working with him. Chris communicated with us frequently about our agenda and he was very responsive. The music choices given to him, and chosen at random all kept the guests dancing and having a great time. The sound quality of Capitol City's speakers was amazing. The equipment and preparation, Chris and his attention to detail made our wedding everything we could've dreamed of and more. We happily give Chris Leas and Capitol City Sound high praise for their effort and results at our wedding. Top notch! Cheers!
Chris Leas and his team made everything super smooth and easy to plan and execute. We could not be happier with Capitol City Sound and the job they did for our wedding at the Zoo. Highly recommend!
This was the easiest vendor choice my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. It only took a minute to know that Scott knew exactly what he was doing. By the time we got around to planning the music for our ceremony and reception, we were burnt out from making decisions, but Scott talked us through the process from the start to finish and provided us with amazing recommendations for music. He knew exactly the right questions to ask to help make the planning easy! The day of the wedding ran seamlessly and he kept people on the dance floor for the whole reception! I'm so happy with Capitol City Sound and you will be too!
Chris Leas was our DJ. His DJing kept everybody dancing all night - super fun, no regrets. :)
Brendan and Juan did an awesome job for our multi-cultural wedding event. Very professional, affordable, and kept the party going all night long with a great mix of music.
Had the best experience! Chris played the best music and kept everything on time. No one left the dance floor. We received so many compliments on how great he was and how much fun everyone had. I recommend him to everybody!
We worked with Chris Leas at Capitol City Sound for our DJ services and Photo Booth for our wedding in June 2018.
As to DJ services, Chris was AMAZING! He was very careful to get our requests and plans for the reception square away ahead of time. He played great music that had everyone dancing and having a blast all night! I couldn't ask for anything more!
I was a little disappointed with the quality of the photo booth printouts, and I suggest requesting a sample before booking them for that service - maybe it was a one time thing. Otherwise, the photo booth set up was very impressive, they had fun props, and the photo booth attendant was very helpful.
Chris Leas was the D.J. for our ceremony and wedding reception on 4/28/2018. He was great! The dance floor was packed and everyone was dancing. Chris did a great job of mixing in our song suggestions and catering to the crowd to figure out what kind of music our guests were enjoying the most.
We planned our wedding from out of town and found it very easy to communicate with Chris beforehand. We had several calls to go over our music choices and timeline for every part of the day, as well as name pronunciations. I would highly recommend Chris and his company to anyone looking for a D.J.
We had issues with our previous DJ and after begging to meet with said company for months, we had to move on. We are 8 days out from our wedding date, and we started reaching out for a rescue DJ. Capitol City Sound Disc Jockeys came in on a white horse and saved our day! We meet with them the same day we booked them and they were super professional and helped us think of things we never thought of for our day I am excited to have them be a part of our big day! Their price was also not crazy even though they knew we were in need. Thanks guys!
** After Wedding Review**
Our 2 DJ's we had were great, every song was perfect!! It was great that we got lucky and had one Latin DJ and one American to help mix up the music that we asked for. Our guests didn't stop dancing and they didn't want the night to end once it was the end of the night! We were so happy!
They are a must book! :)
I would gladly recommend Chris Leas. He was an amazing DJ for our wedding. My only concern was that he did not completely stay on schedule with little things like the bouquet toss and the first dance. However, it was easy enough to approach him and tell him it was time. His music was great and he was very flexible. He wanted your day to be the best it could be and that meant getting everyone out on the dance floor! Not to mention, his services come at a great price!
Working with Chris was a dream. He worked with our schedule to discuss the plan we had in mind. When we told him we didn't have a real plan... he helped fill in the gaps! He took our last minute adjustments in stride and preempted our suggestions/needs.
At the wedding he was high energy and low maintenance. We pointed him to where his booth would be and he took care of the rest. He was so so easy to work with. 10/10 would use him again.
Do yourself a favor and book Capitol City Sound DJs!
Chris was so easy to work with, gave his knowledgeable opinion when we asked, and made sure our night was exactly what we wanted! Can't say enough about his professionalism. He also kept the dance floor jamming all night!
We couldn't have been more happy with our Capitol City Sound experience! DJ Scott did an amazing job, and made sure all of our guests had an absolute blast. Our dance floor was hopping all night long! I also had a few last minute song revisions, and specific requests, all of which he remembered. I would highly recommend them for your wedding!
Scott Stem DJ'd our daughters wedding on 7/22/2017. He was excellent! Extremely helpful in making everything run smoothly during the reception. Capito City Sound are real pros and a pleasure to work with. Highly recomend.
When planning a wedding you do not realize the crucial role that a DJ can play in making or breaking the "big day". Chris Leas is an absolute professional and knows how to make sure that the guests at your wedding are all engaged, playing from a variety of genre's and time periods. Chris met with us in person, as well as spoke with my husband and I on the phone in preparation for our reception. He was available to us whenever we needed him. In the months since our wedding we have had so many compliments about the reception and Chris himself. He was so personable and easy to work with. The song selection process is overwhelming no matter who you go with, and the detail that Chris goes through to ensure that everything goes off without a hitch is magnificent. I would absolutely recommend Chris Leas with Capitol City Sound DJs.
Where do I start?! After a potential photographer recommended Capitol City Sound to my, now, husband and I, we did a bit of research and were confident they'd be a strong contender. We vetted many DJ options because, in our mind, they're one of the most important vendors. After all, the DJ controls the vibe/mood and schedule, for the most part, of the reception. We met with Chris Leas, one of the DJ's and owners, and it just felt right. And honestly, when it comes to choosing a DJ, sometimes that's all you have to go on. Sure there's pricing, but unlike a photographer or caterer, etc., you can't sample their work per say. With that, we booked Capitol City Sound early on in the planning process. As we planned and the months dwindled down, anytime I had a planning question or was looking for a recommendation, Chris was quick to respond and offer his help. Once it got close to the day, Chris sent us some forms to fill out - and I'm sure he got more than he bargained for ... Let's just say I had an extensive do-not-play list (ha!). What's more, he gave me his phone number and said I could text/call with any questions, requests, or concerns leading up to the day ... And I took him up on it! ;) I was texting him, no joke, with requests/do-not-play's day-of and he always responded with such kindness when I'm sure I was annoying him (ha!). When we arrived to the reception, Chris was right there to greet us. In fact, because it had been months since I'd seen him, I didn't recognize him at first and then felt so embarrassed when I realized it was our DJ that I gave him a big hug.
Our day went off without a hitch really and as we visited and drank and ate everyone kept asking "how's it going," and I'd respond with, "Well, so far so good. We'll see how the DJ does; that'll be the icing on top or the nail in the coffin." And boy was it the icing on top - and then some! He played all our musts and somehow captured our eclectic taste of music while playing a crowd-pleasing range. What's more, my husband's family is from Argentina while I grew up in middle-of-nowhere Ohio. He somehow had the Argentine side singing along to oldies and country songs while my side found their selves trying to salsa (ha!). It really was everything I could have wished for and more. (He even noticed that I had underlined Britney Spears in the Artists We Like part of the form and did a Britney mash-up! Which, if you know me, was perfection.) Seriously, I think the only bad thing that I could say is that it wasn't long enough ... But, you know what they say, all good things must come to an end.
I have nothing but good things to say about our interactions with Chris Leas and Scott Stem (the dj for our wedding) of Capitol City Sound. They were genuinely interested in making sure the day went exactly as we wanted - and they were there to assist in any way possible. My husband sent a lengthy list of songs he hoped to hear that day and Scott nicely fit them in to his mix. Most of our guests weren't big on music or dancing (older crowd more enjoying catching up with friends and family), but that didn't stop a small group of us from totally enjoying the music and the dance floor. Scott was flexible and just wanted to make sure we enjoyed the day. Great job.
Capitol City Sound/Chris Leas was awesome. He was always professional. He is very easy to work with. He did a great job being the emcee for our wedding reception. I would highly recommend.
After researching DJ's online (and meeting several at a local bridal show) we met with Chris and knew he was the DJ we wanted to work with. Music was very important to my fiancé and we wanted to find someone who would be flexible enough to use our suggestions but skilled enough to keep the party going without us having to get too involved. Chris met with us several times and helped us to plan the perfect reception (from cocktail hour, to our entry, to the first dance). We also used his lights which added a nice touch to our reception venue. He was timely in his responses and I would recommend him highly to anyone who wants a professional and polished DJ.
Scott Stem was our DJ for our wedding and reception and he was great! He remembered all of our requests and knew exactly how to keep things moving and to make guests happy! We had so many compliments about how much fun our wedding was and we believe we owe much of that to Scott. Two of my cousin's also used Capital City Sound for their weddings, which is why I decided to use them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Our DJ was Scott and he was fantastic! Before the event, he went over all the details with us (what songs we wanted to use, the order of events, etc.) and was great at listening to what we wanted. At the reception, he was excellent about keeping us on schedule and playing a good mix of music (including the songs we requested). I would definitely recommend Capitol City Sounds to anyone!
We absolutely loved working with Chris of Capitol City Sound! We planned our wedding from out of town, which always adds an extra layer of stress. From our first interactions, Chris was responsive, kind, and organized. Different from many other DJ services we looked at, the prices for Capitol City Sound’s services were clearly stated and explained on their website. The worksheets they provide really helped us in planning our music for both ceremony and reception. Chris was flexible as our plans changed, and was very accessible and reassuring in the days leading up to our event. Most importantly, Chris KILLED IT at the reception. We received countless compliments from our guests on the playlist and flow of the night (especially the Kesha mashup he put together). One of the organizers at our venue told us we had the highest proportion of guests dancing that she had ever seen at a wedding. At one point fewer than five of our 120 guests were still seated. We had a blast and our guests did too! I would highly, highly recommend Chris to my friends, family, and really anyone who needs a DJ ever.
My husband and I worked with Chris Leas. He did an exceptional job! He was very easy to work with and accommodating. He is very experienced and provided us with much wanted guidance and advice. He read the crowd well and kept the party dancing. Thanks so much Chris!!
Capitol city was great to work with. Our DJ was Mike and he kept things moving and did great with songs and played all the songs we requested. Chris the owner was really polite and got back to us in a timely manner.
Mike M was our DJ at our wedding and he did a great job! He played a good mix of current dance songs, oldies, and slow dances that kept all our family and friends on the dance floor for the entire night. He stuck to our timeline and fit in all of our special requests. Capitol City Sounds also provided microphones for our ceremony readers and officiant. We weren't looking for a "hype man" and really enjoyed Mike's quiet demeanor.
Chris Leas was the D.J. for our wedding on 5/22/2016. He was incredible!!! The dance floor was packed the entire time. Chris did an amazing job of combining our suggestions of genres and songs and reading the crowd to figure out what kind of music our guests were enjoying the most. People who had NEVER danced in their life were out there having a great time. Both my husband and I love music and dancing, so choosing a D.J. who would do a fantastic job was very important to us. We can't thank Chris enough for making this most important part of our reception absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend Chris and his company to anyone looking for a D.J. He is professional, personable, kind, and meets with you before the day of to gauge exactly how you want the evening to go. Thank you, again, Chris and Capitol City Sound for making our reception unforgettable!!!
We were extremely lucky to find Chris Leas at the Columbus Bridal Show and book him for our wedding! He was absolutely AMAZING to work with and goes above and beyond to understand and personalize his role in your big day! He asked questions that we hadn't even thought about and ensured everything would run smoothly and it absolutely did! My now husband and I had a lot of surprises through out the wedding/reception that Chris helped execute perfectly! The DJ plays a MAJOR role in a wedding and I couldn't have imagined it going any better! Thanks Chris!
Chris and Scott were amazing to work with!! A few minor delays were overlooked but corrected quickly. The music was amazing and everyone was dancing. We had friends that were going to leave and stayed 30 minutes longer because the music was so good. We had a great time!!!
I hired Capitol City Sound for my daughter's wedding and I was very pleased. Chris was our DJ and he was on time and set up, professionally dressed. Guests had fun time dancing. He had every song that people requested. Sound was great! I would highly recommend!
Chris and his son were the DJs for our wedding in January 2016. Our friends recommended his company. Chris was very professional and easy to work with. We met a week before to review our songs and the order of events. He was even willing to help my husband pull off a surprise in the middle of the reception. Chris also played the music for our ceremony and provided our pastor, readers, and singer with microphones. I would suggest Chris and Capitol City Sound to anyone!!
We used Chris and he was awesome!!! He did everything we asked and was very patient with us. We had a packed dance floor for 4 hours!!!! He didnt talk a ton and really just kept a great flow, a great countdown to NYE and great songs to keep everyone dancing. I would highly recommend them!!
They did a great job accommodating us having both our ceremony and reception at the same venue. Provided excellent music and also were very receptive to requests. It was very nice to have music that we requested played but also to have the rest of the music be so good. My wife requested a special song to walk down the aisle to and they accommodated her request very well. Really helped to make the evening special and to help the event flow smoothly.
Chris Leas was fantastic!!! He honored every request I had, kept the reception running smoothly and had everyone on the dance floor. My husband and I, our families and all of our guests had nothing but great things to say about our DJ and we have Capitol City Sound to thank for that!
Two years ago, I went to a wedding and distinctly remember how amazing and fun it was - the music was a great mix and literally everyone was on the dance floor. When we got married, I knew we had to use that DJ..which was Chris from Capitol City. Not only does he keep people dancing, but he also is professional, organized and so sweet! You will not regret going with them!
Chris from Capitol City Sounds was very good and kept the dance party going all night. We were able to pick the songs we wanted to hear for the night and he filled in songs as he saw fit. (A lot of oldies were played that all ages could enjoy). He was very easy to work with and always followed up very quickly if I had any questions. They provide up-lighting too that really added to our ballroom. I would recommend his services to any bride!
Chris at Capitol City Sound was absolutely phenomenal and a complete pleasure to work with! The music at our wedding was perfect and the dance floor was FULL the entire reception! These guys are super easy and comfortable to work with and go above and beyond to make sure everything is the way you want it. Chris DJ'd our ceremony and reception and everything was perfect! Thank you so much again Capitol City Sound!!
My husband and I got married in the beginning of January 2015 and we are still enjoying reliving all of the incredible moments from our special day! I am a dancer and a dance educator, so naturally the music/dancing element was extremely important to me and was a priority when it came to the wedding. Capital City Sound did an incredible job preparing for our wedding, creating a special mood for our ceremony, and making the reception a true dance party that everyone is still talking about! The transitions were smooth and all guests were fully engaged and enjoying the entire experience. Every encounter that I had with Capital City Sound was positive and stress free! I am so grateful to have had the experience to work with them! They are an all-around genuinely caring, talented and professional company. I would HIGHLY recommend them and hope that I have the opportunity to work with them in the future for a different life event!
Professional yet easy going. We didn't really know where to start and he guided the entire evening with ease. I highly recommend him for any event.
Chris Leas and his company are great. The wedding and reception were held at Everal Barn in Westerville in late September. He set everything up for weather contingencies, we had music inside and out, he followed the playlist, accommodated requests and in general provided exactly what we wanted at a most reasonable price. We definitely recommend him highly.
It is my personal belief that the DJ is the most important part of a wedding reception. Ultimately they are who keeps the party going and make it fun. Capital City Sound totally exceeded my expectations! They also did the music for my ceremony which was also fantastic! Chris did an outstanding job about keeping the momentum of the day going, and ultimately was more like coordinator of the evening then anything! The music quality and selection was perfect, Chris was extremely intuitive to what I was wanting, and very easy to work with. All of my guests raved about how fun the reception was, and I attribute that to Capital City Sound!
Chris did an AMAZING job at our wedding. We had a fully packed dance floor from the moment our reception started til the lights came on, even had to arrange for an extra hour because there was so much fun being had!!! I had a very specific introduction that I wanted done and Chris hit it right on the nose! He had a fantastic playlist. Next to the food, which was also fabulous, Chris was the next thing I received many compliments about. He was very personable and made sure my reception was exactly what I wanted! Truly an amazing DJ and Person!!
I decided to use Capitol City for my wedding in November 2013 after they worked by brother's wedding in 2012. Both Chris L and Chris S were great to work with; very attentive and responsive via email, flexible, professional and pleasant. Chris S was our DJ at the wedding and he was fabulous; the music was very important to me and he was committed to providing everything I wanted. He didn't play songs on the "do not play" list, played the songs that we requested, and also honored guest requests. The wedding went great and our guests commented on how great the music was. Chris was also flexible and provided a few things that I hadn't really planned for (like my dad requesting a special song during his speech) and we really appreciated that. Also, the price was excellent and very reasonable for such great service. Overall I would recommend Capitol City to any bride and groom!!
Perfect. Chris S. was wonderful. Really takes the time to learn peoples names and want you want at your wedding. Attentive and makes the wedding all about you. Perfect.
I was very disappointed with Capitol City Sound when I used them for my wedding a few months ago. I was asked to provide Chris (our DJ) with a list of songs we would like to be played at our reception. My family and I worked very hard to generate a list of songs that we thought would be good for the reception. During the reception, Chris only played maybe 3 of the songs I had requested. Luckily, I have a large, fun, family that was willing to dance, so it didn't end up really mattering what he played. He was also very difficult to work with. He lost some of my paperwork, and called me with the missing information 3 days before the wedding. When he discovered that we were disappointed with his work, he was very rude and extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend this company based off of my experience.
