Direct Sounds DJ Entertainment

nes offered us DJ Mikey, stating he had just as much experience and will deliver like our original DJ would have. After many times of asking, it was made clear that DJ Mikey has only done a few weddings in the past. When we told how uncomfortable this made us, Jeff said he understood but told us there were no comparable replacements available. The only alternative offered was a DJ from Tucson who has never worked for the company before with no wedding experience, so we stayed with DJ Mikey — who also had minimal wedding experience, which became very clear on the day of the event. Our grand entrance song was never played, and the DJ accidentally played it at the start of our first dance, confusing our guests. Our actual first dance song was played incorrectly, with background music still running over it. Announcements throughout the night were so quiet that guests couldn’t hear what was happening, and our venue coordinator had to step in multiple times because the DJ wasn’t communicating with anyone. Both parent dances started in the middle of the songs with no fade‑in or transition. Jeff had also promised us two sets of cold sparks, but we only received one — and even that required a delay because they were set up incorrectly. After the wedding, we shared all of this with Jeff and Danii, owners of Direct Sound. They offered a 50% refund, but only if we agreed not to post reviews or speak negatively about our experience. We declined. Couples deserve transparency when choosing vendors for such an important day. I hope this helps future couples make an informed decision, as I wish I we had known this about this company before using them.

asonable price. My guests kept telling me how much they loved the music during the reception and the officiant did a great job during the ceremony as well. I would highly recommend Direct Sounds if you’re looking for a DJ and an Officiant.

sure not to miss anything. On the day of Jason was really enthusiastic and flexible! We definitely reccommend him and the company! 10/10

verything was taken care of. Our ceremony was beautiful, and Justin brought the moment to life with our music choices, and ensuring there were no awkward pauses when a song would end. After our ceremony Justin kept our guests attended to for cocktail hour, and hyped up the crowd for our grand entrance. Our first dance went off without a hitch, with a perfectly timed sparkler moment to match. During dinner, he played music from a playlist I had assembled, setting the scene for the rest evening. He facilitated the special dances with family, and kept everything moving along at a nice pace. To wrap up the evening, Justin tapped into the EDM and Rock music we discussed in our prior meetings, and we had our own private rave. We could not be more thrilled with our wedding experience, and Justin from Direct Sounds did everything in his power to bring our vision to life. Thank you for a night we will NEVER forget!

e hand to gain an understanding of what we envisioned for our ceremony and took everything into account. He was so personable - we had family members even come up and ask us if we had previously known Ryan! Our DJ was DJ M-Cat, Michael. He kept the vibes going all night long. We really wanted to have a fun dance floor and we got it. He got the music just right! He also was communicative with us beforehand and asked us what we wanted. Direct Sounds also had a music portal where we could provide all of our requests, playlists, etc. We also booked our Photo Booth with Direct Sounds. Which was such a hit with our guests. We also got copies of all the photos, which are so fun to look back on now! Overall, we would highly recommend Direct Sounds for all of these services! We are so grateful for all the individuals with Direct Sounds who helped make our day great! -The Pauls 04.26.25

work with, and truly understood our vision. The transitions were smooth, the song choices were perfect, and the dance floor was never empty. Giovanny brought great energy and kept the party going strong until the very end. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had! We’re so grateful for his talent and professionalism—he made our wedding day even more special.

made us both feel comfortable and relaxed - he reviewed and customized the script for our ceremony with us, making sure it was perfect and what we wanted. DJ Benz was the star of our day!! He kept the dance floor going all night, even leading everyone in line dances. We got so many compliments from our guests that the DJ was a blast. I couldn’t recommend both Noah and DJ Benz enough. Thank you!

ar at every wedding and he nailed it! He was also sooo amazing at reading the crown and feeding off their energy. I did not leave the dance floor all night and our guests could not stop raving about the vibes and energy. I would 1000% recommend Max (DJ Mixwell) for your events!!

answer all of our questions throughout the planning process. He went over every detail with us that included the schedule and our music preferences where he then curated and shared a spotify playlist for us which we could listen to up until our wedding day! He was on top of keeping us on schedule throughout the reception and brought the best energy to the wedding. People danced ALL NIGHT! He was awesome and would 10 out of 10 reccomend!

ys following just to tell us how impressed they were with Matt. His mixing and transitions were so good! Matt is so fun, professional, easy to talk to, responsive, helpful, accommodating and overall just such a wonderful person to have had part of our wedding. He also found us additional lighting upgrades that turned out awesome and perfectly complimented his music. Any couple would be lucky to have DJ Matt as their DJ!

, Giovanny exhibited a willingness to collaborate and ensure our day was exactly as we envisioned. Communication was seamless throughout the planning process, and Giovanny expertly adhered to our song preferences, even navigating around our "do not play" list flawlessly. It was impressive to see him honor our requests, even when faced with guest song suggestions that didn't align with our vision. Moreover, Giovanny's consideration extended to the volume of the music, which was a specific concern for me due to noise sensitivity. He struck the perfect balance, ensuring everyone could enjoy the music without it being overpowering. One of the many standout qualities of Giovanny was his remarkable flexibility. Despite my last-minute indecision regarding specific songs for key moments of the evening, such as the cake cutting and entrance music, Giovanny remained patient and supportive, working with me to finalize the details without any added stress. It wasn't just us who noticed Giovanny's exceptional service; numerous guests also took the time to compliment his performance, further affirming his talent and professionalism. In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Direct Sounds, and particularly Giovanny, for any wedding or event. His dedication, flexibility, and skill set him apart, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all involved.

kept the party going! I’m extremely picky when it comes to vendors, and would recommend Jeff as a wedding DJ without a doubt!

azing to work with, kind and caring to us and our guests, and easy to communicate with, and made our reception perfect! One word of caution though is that we attended a different wedding with DJ Mike and he was awful. My husband and I were in the bridal and groom's parties and we saw that behind the scenes, he made some really weird and inappropriate comments to the groom and the parties and then there were a good 10 minutes where he wasn't at his booth and there was no music playing. Mike was originally assigned to us, but it was easy to call in and request the change to Matt... and I'm SO happy that we did. But if you are assigned Matt, know that you're in amazing hands!

had the guests hoppin' with his excellent dance mixes during reception. Highly recommend hiring this vendor!

ess and a very easy process. He was also very flexible with some last minute changes. You can go as detailed as providing the exact songs you want the whole night but we both are more of “this is the vibe we’re looking for” during each part of the day, and he absolutely killed it. Can’t thank you enough!

d did a special thing with our music during cocktail hour. The only downside was that he got a little busy before my wedding and was slow with some email responses I needed but no worries! It all worked out and we ended up having a meeting a few days before!

r to the wedding. He played great music that kept people dancing all night, and as a special call-out, the "dancing on the clouds" add-on is so worth it! (I wasn't sure if it would be hokey but it was VERY cool.)

nondenominational vow ceremony. Our guests complimented us throughout the whole night. Jeff, our DJ, was amazing! He transitioned between songs with easy and effortlessly guided our party throughout the night!

r night flow smoothly while keeping things moving along!

do the "first dance" of our dreams. My family and friends LOVED him!! He even orchrastrated the wedding game we wanted without ever doing it before, and it turned out way better than we could have ever imagined! He even loaned his mic to me when we had a fake one to song our last song of the night! He was always quick to respond, very adaptable, and made last-minute updates a breeze!!! A million thanks, The Jerdets

He found creative ways to play strange song requests (like during cocktail hour!) and he played polka for my dad. He was a great DJ and we are so pleased we went with Direct Sounds, would recommend!

age offered are not to be passed up. The quick communication leading up to the date and elite coordination of the team in conjunction with the Day of Coordinator was beyond expectation, keeping the entire day right on pace. Jeff as the DJ and Danii with the Photobooth were such a perfect pair to assist on our day. They both stepped well into and beyond their role. We really appreciated all the vendors working so seamlessly together in providing for the absolute perfect wedding day. It is highly recommended that they help make your special event just as spectacular. Thank you team!

te a schedule for the day! The dancing was so much fun and kept all our guests engaged. Matt was super helpful throughout the evening and was a pleasure to work with :) The only disappointment was that he played the wrong song for our first dance. (same song, different cover) We had spent a lot of time practicing a specific song and he played a different version so that was a tad bit disappointing. But again, that was our only complaint! Outside of that our experience was fantastic!

o our wedding & it couldn’t have been a better match. After filling out our “profile” and details of our ceremony/reception, Mike not only got a better sense of what we were looking for, he was able to perfectly gauge our vision as we were all likeminded native East Coasters. Mike communicated to us the expectations for the event, was responsive to questions and was flexible with last minute changes & additions — from Top 40 hits to Motown classics to old/new school east coast hip hop to the infusion of Cape Verdean culture that integrated KIZOMBA, dancehall/reggae, reggaeton & afrobeats— Mike was the definition of VERSATILE that kept the energy UPBEAT. Though timing slipped away from us during the ceremony and beginning of reception, Mike managed to integrate all of these music genres in less than two hours. Most importantly the dance floor was filled with everyone the entire time regardless of age, gender, or culture. That was important to us. Two families becoming one and I saw that. My husband and I could not be more happier. Thanks again Mike!

of the night. I spent all night on the dance floor and even had David do the electric slide with us. David was the best part of our wedding and I cannot recommend him enough!

pt our guests laughing throughout the night. The planning process was so easy and low stress too. I would recommend them to anyone!

ith the shoe game and dollar dance. My partner and I are grateful for your services.

.k.a. DJ Bstarr. His personality and skills kept the party going. From the consultation phone call, until the very end of our wedding we could not ask for more. He was right on que for all of our chosen songs and did a perfect job with all the timing of our chosen songs. We absolutely fell in love wirh him and feel Direct Sounds is so lucky to have him on their team. He checked in with us throughout the night which we thought showed he truly cared. We wanted a hype man and we got it! Direct Sounds was so wonderful to work with. We 100 percent recommend them and would choose them in a heart beat for any other function or party we may have.

ng the ceremony on the driving range, and was a great emcee during the reception in the Sierra Vista area . He had a great idea called table dash, where the bride and groom take pictures with each table of guests - great idea! Great time had by all! Marianne Compton

the mic constantly and they delivered! DJ Damien did a great job the day of our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier with the music and how our day went!

hly because of him! He took care of any special requests we had and he even threw in a couple jokes that had the crowd cracking up. DJ Damien has such great energy and he kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night! Several guests commented on how amazing he was! I highly recommend DJ Damien!

ly were happy and don’t think we would have wanted anyone else DJ’ing our wedding. Thank you so much for making our special day even more special!

to work with. Cant thank Damien enough, he did a wonderful job reading the crowd and playing music that made the guest dance and all have a great time. Highly recommend!!

all his staff to be as top-notch as he is. Let me also quickly add here that my husband (yes, that's so fun to say) is writing HIS OWN review for Jeff because he was THAT amazing! Planning a wedding is exhausting and emotionally/financially draining so do yourself a favor and trust me on this one- reach out to Direct Sounds, lock in the DJ, and move on to the next item on your to-do list!

th videos and pictures of our dance floor. Me and my wife wanted all of our guests dancing and Jeff delivered that request. We had created a playlist for both guest arrival, cocktail hour, and dinner. But gave him full control of the reception, and told him “to feel out the crowd”. Jeff absolutely crushed it. His selection of songs was incredible, picking some throwbacks, all the way to new songs, all while mixing them with smooth transitions. We had so many of our guests complimenting his service! From myself working in the industry and also attending many weddings I’ve seen that DJ’s can make or break your wedding. If you pick Jeff and Direct sounds ( which why wouldn’t you ) you can be assured that you are going to have the best wedding reception that you could possibly have. Jeff thank you so much for all of the great memories that you have given Rachael and I! You made our wedding night everything that we had envisioned and more.

y got "us" as a couple and nailed our music style completely. He also really knows how to read a room and plays songs that encourage people to get up and dance. Damien totally rolled with the changes and impromptu obscure song requests. I was so grateful and he was so nice about it. I knew I didn't need to worry about a thing cause Damien had the MC duties and wedding timeline down. He kept us on track and was so courteous. I can't say enough good things about him. If you are going with a DJ for your big day, book Direct Sounds. They are recommended because they are professionals who KNOW what they are doing!

d get a sample of what we liked and he just took that and ran with it. He kept our family and friends dancing on the dance floor the entire night! The flow of our reception was on point and I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Jeff!

the dance floor! He came up with fun things for us to do and made it so almost everyone was up and dancing! We did a conga line (one of my favorite parts of the night), an anniversary dance and a dance line. I sent him all of my songs only 2 days before as I was behind and he pulled it all together and made the night amazing! We even decided to do a joint garter and bouquet toss only 2 nights before and he did a great job executing my idea! I am very happy with how he delivered the whole night and highly recommend him!

s easy to work with-I was 2,000 miles away on the East Coast- they sent out emails in a timely manner and responded back to my inquiries. They made my day even more special than I imagined.

s the best wedding they have ever been to and I think most of that was due to Jeff.
