My husband and I just got married at Casa Real a few weeks ago and Fantasy Sound exceeded all of our expectations with their gorgeous decor and lighting! From our initial meeting with Fantasy Sound to our wedding day, the entire team was such a pleasure to work with as they were all so kind and so helpful in making our dream wedding come to life! For our reception we had the candle chandeliers along with hanging edison bulbs and smilax greenery over the dance floor and we were so ecstatic with how incredible it all looked together! Our family and friends gave us countless compliments of how beautiful our wedding was and we can’t thank the Fantasy Sound team enough for making our day so magical!
Fantasy Sound were consummate professionals and setup all of our wedding directions exactly to specifications. We were unsure how it was all the design choices we made were going to come together, but they did a spectacular job in tying everything together seamlessly. Everything ended up absolutely stunning and we could not have been happier with their service.
We had the pleasure of working with Fantasy Sound Event Services for our August 2024 wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with their décor and DJ services. The lighting and decorations were absolutely perfect and brought our vision to life. The ambiance was truly magical and set the ideal tone for our special day.
A special shoutout to DJ Norm—he was phenomenal! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the music, and many are now asking for his playlist. He kept the dance floor packed all night and made sure everyone had an unforgettable time.
I am the owner of Status Salon in Livermore, CA. We have had the pleasure of working with Fantasy Sound on over 100 occasions, and their commitment to excellence has consistently impressed us. Their outstanding team and ever-evolving inventory make them a top choice for any event. All our brides RAVE about all the staff with customer service & kindness!
Working with FSE is an absolute pleasure. Their amazing employees, constantly updated inventory, and unwavering commitment to excellence make them a standout in the industry. We highly recommend Fantasy to anyone looking for top-tier event services that will make their occasion truly special.
Thank you Kevin, Lindsey & entire Fantasy Team for your outstanding service and dedication. We look forward to many more successful collaborations in the future!
The Fantasy Sound team provided exceptional service for our May 2024 Wedding. From the set up through to the end of the (late) night, our DJ - Glen, was amazing. The whole day went so smoothly, and Glen was a big reason why. He has so much experience and made the planning process easy and fun for us. Glen helped make the whole Wedding day so much fun, and really took our dinner speeches and reception the next level!!! We can't recommend Glen (and the Fantasy Sound Team) enough. If you are looking for a great Wedding DJ, or a DJ for any event for that matter, you found the one!
For our wedding at Casa Real in Pleasanton, CA, we had the absolute pleasure of working with Fantasy Sound for all of our audio (and visual) needs. Kevin was an incredible DJ and MC for the night, introduced everything at the right time, played all of our favorite songs, livened up the dance floor at the appropriate times, and was an all around great person to work with during the wedding process. We also made use of Fantasy Sound’s amazing chandelier and photobooth that gave us the wedding of our dreams and the keepsakes we were looking for. Kevin, as well as the entire team, were responsive and helpful throughout the process and will definitely be a company we recommend to anyone who gets married in the Pleasanton area, especially at Casa Real. Thank you Kevin and thank you Fantasy Sound!
I am a wedding planner and one of my couples recently hired Fantasy Sound Event Services for their wedding at Casa Real. The team was attentive and responsive leading up to the event. The day of, they were on time to set up and did an absolutely beautiful job! The couple was thrilled with how everything turned out and the guests were complimenting the lighting as well. 10/10 recommend for your next event :)
We selected Fantasy Sound as our DJ since they were a preferred vendor and had glowing reviews, and we have to agree! When first deciding on a DJ we had a quick call with two of their DJs and felt a great connection with Glen. We are so thrilled we went with Glen - our prep meetings leading up to the day were so helpful and enjoyable and Glen made us feel so comfortable that he was truly a professional and was going to be amazing. And it really ended up perfectly. He helped put my family at ease, making sure they were prompted when and where to go for toasts, he was so fun meeting my wedding party and doing their reception intros, and across the board he just really read the room to keep the party going smoothly. Our dance floor was filled the WHOLE night which is everything I could have asked for. I am so grateful for Glen, he is not only a great DJ but an amazing master of ceremonies!
We worked with Kevin at Fantasy Sound for our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars, and we’re so glad we did! The music at our reception was awesome, and each part of the event flowed very smoothly into the next. One of the highlights of our day was dancing with all our guests. We had almost all generations on the dance floor until the end, and we had so many family members and friends comment on how much they loved the music.
We’ve already recommended Kevin to our friends getting married next year, and would recommend Fantasy Sound to anyone in the area!
We first heard of Fantasy Sound on the Palm Event Center's preferred vendor list. We liked how they could provide multiple services. Through them, we ended up booking our DJ, Photobooth and Light fixtures. They had a showcase at their office with all of their different light fixtures and rental items which was very helpful. We had great service and great communication with Fantasy Sound. If we had more money in our budget, we would've also booked their videographer service. Since they were very familiar with our venue, they also had a lot of good insight based on what they have seen clients do in the space in the past. We would highly recommend!
We used Fantasy Sound for our wedding and they were absolutely wonderful to work with! They were extremely responsive throughout the whole process and were so accommodating when we had to postpone our original 2020 wedding date. We hired them for a DJ, Photobooth, and additional lighting.
Kevin was our DJ and he was fantastic to work with! He did an amazing job MCing our wedding and kept everyone on the dance floor all evening. We wouldn't have changed a thing!
The photobooth and lighting installation was great as well. It was nice to have a vendor that we didn't have to worry about because we trusted they would do an amazing job - and they did!
Thanks so much to Kevin and his team! Would definitely recommend Fantasy Sound Event Services.
We are using Fantasy Sound for our wedding in April 2022. They have beens so easy to work with. Even after a postponement. Darcie ad Lindsay in the office have been been so wonderful. We are using FSES for DJ, Lighting, Videography, and Photo Booth. We have seen them at previous weddings and events so we know they will do an amazing job. We can't wait to have Fantasy Sound at our wedding.
We had booked Fantasy Sound as our wedding DJ and lighting. The lighting was absolutely stunning and Kevin (the DJ) was so fun to work with. They entire team there made the process easy and we’re great with communicating. They truly made it a special day!
Unfortunately we didn’t do all the dancing and party we probably would have wanted, but Kevin knew exactly what to do. After changing our wedding about 3 different times my communication was constant with the company let alone they reached out all the time. Our wedding was very laid back with just a few demands such as the processional song, the recessional song, and our first dance. Other than that we just wanted relax cocktail vibes and light dinner type music. It was absolutely perfect and got many compliments from guests on how amazing the song choices where throughout the night. Kevin really did it all!!! So all the credit goes to him.
We had the most beautiful chandelier in the middle of our dance floor from Fantasy Sound! I appreciated that they allowed and created a mold of our custom monogram (designed by our friend) as it made it extra special. The drapery they had installed was exactly what I’d wanted. Our guests thought everything was simply beautiful! Thank you to the whole Fantasy Sound team for helping to make our day so perfect!
We used Fantasy Sound for our wedding last week, which was rescheduled from summer of last year, for lights, sound and DJ services. Our DJ was Glenn, and he was great! the lightening they provided was also beautiful and they allowed our florist to hang some greenery from their lights.
They were also so accommodating and helpful with the rescheduling process due to COVID. I feel lucky that they allowed us to reschedule without any additional hiccups, fees, or loss of payments. I see other reviews here rating them 1 star for refusal to refund deposits for cancelled weddings due to COVID, and my heart really goes out to both parties, but I don't feel it is a true reflection of Fantasy Sound and their services. I can only imagine how hard it has been for businesses to stay afloat during the pandemic, and I'm grateful that rescheduling was as easy as it was with them, because I've definitely heard much worse from other couples with other vendors who rescheduled. Overall, I'd choose them again if I had the chance, but maybe I'd book more lighting because it really was so beautiful day-of :)
!!! Attention: DO NOT BOOK WITH FANTASY SOUND EVENTS BEFORE READING THIS!!!
We had to cancel our wedding due to Covid and Fantasy Sound is NOT giving us any of our refunds because we paid them early. (what i thought would be the smart thing paying all of our vendors early, getting those small tasks off our plate) They have a clause in their contract saying if you pay them early, then they have the right not to refund you. Of course, under normal circumstances pre-covid, we felt that this was nightly unlikely and paid them.
This is the ONLY vendor that has been unwilling to refund us ANY of our funds outside the non-refundable 500 retainer clause.
I think it is disgusting that we are in the middle of a global pandemic, and they are treating their customers this way. Us having to cancel our event is 100% out of our control & if it weren’t for the global pandemic, we would have had our wedding. We have personally been affected, my husband lost his job due to the pandemic, and it’s been challenging financially, similar to what many others are experiencing.
Do yourself a favor and chose a vendor that will work with you during extreme circumstances and not punish you for paying them early.
We used Fantasy Sound for decoration purposes. We rented the wood panel wall with our initials and were originally going to use it as a backdrop at our sweetheart table. Then we had to move our ceremony & reception outdoors and were only allowed 50 guests at the ceremony and 30 at the reception. Due to 20 of our guests having to leave after the ceremony, we decided to use the wall as a photo booth where we could take pictures with those guests as they left the venue. We also had to move our delivery time frame up due to our ceremony time moving from 4 to 3 pm. We added 2 wine barrels to help frame the wall and use as a table top for our flower decorations. While at our ceremony rehearsal, our photographer suggested we change the original placement to a different area due to lighting. Fantasy Sound was very easy going about changing the time of delivery and placement, as well as adding the barrels to the contract. Megan was fantastic to work with as well, very nice, informative, and was the one who suggested the wine barrels!
The only issue that occurred during set up was that the items were supposed to be delivered and set up at 1 pm. They arrived at 1:45 pm. My mother waited for them instead of getting ready to make sure that they knew the change in placement. While that was a little frustrating, the wall was set up by the 3 pm ceremony.
Other than that, we highly recommend Fantasy Sound for any decorations you need for your special day.
As the case with many Covid weddings, our wedding date changed multiple times. Fantasy Sound stuck with us through 3 date changes as well as a venue change. They were always very responsive and professional. We had a lot of little changes along the way and they were happy to accommodate those changes.
Kevin was our DJ and was awesome. He took the time to come see our new venue beforehand since he had never seen it before. His communication was great. He followed our playlist recommendations very closely and was great at sensing the vibe of our guests during the reception. He played some songs not on our list (which we agreed to beforehand), and they were songs that got people excitedly out to the dance floor.
All in all we would highly recommend Fantasy Sound!
We got married at Bella Rosa at Garre Vineyards in October.
Kevin was awesome to work with! He has done an amazing job making Fantasy Sound what it is today! :)
I have worked with Fantasy Sound several times, being in the Industry as a venue coordinator. Not only is Kevin amazing to work with, but his whole staff is as well.
From the office staff to the set up staff, everyone is professional and accommodating.
Thank you Fantasy Sound Team!!!!
I have had family and friends use Fantasy Sound and we all loved them so I knew I would call as soon as I found out I was getting married. Nick, he was incredible! He is very professional, sweet and he definitely knows how to read a crowd. He had everyone dancing all night! I called to let him know how much I appreciated his services, but we were one of the last weddings before he left to a new role. Nick, if you see this-your rocked our world! Thank you for working with us! We appreciate you so much!
We were married on 11/9/19 and our experience with Fantasy Sound was great! We decided to work with them for DJ services after learning that they were a preferred vendor at our venue The Bridges Golf Club, and our DJ was Kevin. We had one phone meeting during the planning process with Kevin during which he explained how we should choose songs and plan for toasts, wedding party announcements, etc. The planning paperwork was very easy to understand and complete, and served as a great guide as to how we should plan our music. We met with Kevin in person one week before our wedding at their beautiful office. Kevin was very professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly nice! We had sent over our paperwork and playlist prior to the meeting, and spent the meeting quickly reviewing everything. Kevin made great suggestions and was able to answer all of our questions. The day of our wedding went so smoothly! Music was played without missing a beat. Announcements and toasts were done wonderfully. Kevin was awesome at reading our guests and what songs they seemed to enjoy more, and played music that wasn’t on our playlist but was definitely what our guests wanted! Overall we would definitely recommend Fantasy Sound!
Fantasy provided the lighting for my wedding reception. I had an in-person consultation with Kevin about 9 months before my wedding. He went over many different aspects with me and gave me lots of pointers based on my budget. Kevin was very easy-going and respectful of my budget. After my meeting with Kevin, I primarily connected with Megan and Kaitlin. They were always extremely responsive and quick with giving me estimates. I'm sure there are 20 estimates for me because I changed my mind so many times. They were always eager to help and sent pictures of things I couldn't imagine. On the day of my wedding, they coordinated solely with the venue and I did not need to worry about anything!
Glen (DJ) was fantastic!!! We had people on the dance floor the entire evening! He is funny and has a great personality for everyone to be able to enjoy!!!
Brendan (Videography) was great as well! He just had a baby recently and was still super flexible on his schedule and with meetings as we live almost an hour away from FSE. Thank you so much Brendan for all you did! Can’t wait to see what you’ve captured!
Fantasy Sounds was a great vendor to work with for our wedding day. We used Fantasy Sounds for DJ, lighting and Photo Booth services. They are very professional and responsive to emails and phone calls. Our DJ/MC for our wedding was Glen and he rocked! He was very professional and our meetings were mostly phone/video chat and one time in person to figure our songs. Glen helped my husband and I find the best time frame for wedding entrance, first dance and much more. He was very detailed and fun to work with. The Photo Booth turned out really nice and the photos were great. I would recommend Fantasy sounds for DJ/MC/lighting and Photo Booth for any event!
Fantasy Sound did a great job DJing our wedding at The Bridges Golf Club. We worked with Kevin as our DJ, and he was very easy to work with and helpful in our meeting before the wedding with giving us advice on how to make things go smoothly with the timeline and dances. We had gone through a list of music and had made a pretty specific playlist for the wedding, and Kevin did a great job at sticking to the playlist and indeed making sure that everything on the timeline went smoothly the day-of. They also did the sound for our ceremony, which was very easy with just the groom and officiant wearing microphones. We were very pleased with our experience with Fantasy Sound and definitely recommend them for your event.
Nick and the team at Fantasy Sound did a stupendous job of making my wife and I feel at ease about our wedding ceremony and reception. We used Fantasy Sound for DJ, lighting, and photobooth and everything came together perfectly without any worry. Come here for one-stop shopping for a vendor that can make your day extra special!
We loved working with Nick and Fantasy Light & Sound! We used Fantasy for lighting, sound, DJ, and photo booth at our wedding.
The process leading up to the event was helpful, and we appreciated having two sit-down meetings with advice and information. We felt good going into our wedding, knowing that we'd met with Nick twice and felt like he "got" what we were looking for. He also gave us lots of good advice when we asked him directly for it.
Our expectations were more than met--they were exceeded! Nick did a fabulous job MC'ing and deejaying our reception. He also did the sound and music for our ceremony. The ceremony went very seamlessly and did a great job with sound, our intros and recessional.
As for the reception, that was also stellar. We, our parents, and guests loved the music at the reception. The MC'ing was absolutely perfect--both sets of our parents raved about what a great job our mc/dj did. We had a few special requests/additions to our program that Nick was able to accommodate, very non-nonchalantly/with no stress.
We also loved the photo booth services, and being able to get photos within a few days of our wedding! Our guests loved it, and since it takes a few weeks for the ~official wedding photos to come, it's so fun to get a the photo booth shots so quickly. We were so busy running around at our wedding that we didn't get a chance to visit until the tail end, and the photo booth staff were extremely kind to let us take a few shots (even though it was past time and they were breaking down).
They also did lighting for us: some up-lighting and GOBOs. To be honest, I was not too attuned to the lighting, other than to say that the room looked great and they were fast with take down! Set up was done well before we ever arrived, so it was no stress on our end.
It was great to have so many services under one roof--it made the process less stressful. A big thank you to Fantasy and Nick for making our wedding day smooth and fun! We would definitely recommend them to others.
Kevin and staff are professional, efficient, fun and personable. My husband and I got married this June and had a few specific requests. Kevin was really accommodating and asked good questions to make sure the job was done right. After each meeting his staff followed up with everything we needed. On the day of my wedding, Kevin even helped bustle my wedding dress! Kevin reads crowds well and knows exactly how to match the tone you want. I highly recommend Fantasy Sound as a whole.
I honestly couldn't recommend Fantasy Sound enough!! It was so easy working with them (specifically Megan!) when it came to all of our rentals for our wedding. Luckily, my venue (Palm Event Center) had them as a preferred vendor. They are basically the only ones PEC trusts with lights and any major decorating -- and all for a good reason! Fantasy sound was such a pleasure to work with; amazingly professional and so, so friendly!
For our wedding, we rented the market lights that were set up in a tent shape over the center of the dancefloor, market lights dripping from the ceiling on either side of our sweetheart table, while also having a wooden beam with Edison bulbs hanging right above my new hubby and I. Purely magical. Fantasy Sound did such a great job and made everything seamless.
Thank you so much!
Fantasy Sound was there to help every step of the way! My husband and I hired them for DJ and their beautiful chandeliers . Kevin, our DJ, was amazing . He took care of everyone and even helped us set up or timeline . Such a great company to work with . They’re available around the clock and are willing to accommodate to your needs . Thank you for making our wedding memorable !!
Fantasy Sound has everything you need to make your day fun and beautiful! We used them for lighting and decor (we wanted some "altar swag" to help define our ceremony space) and Kevin was our DJ. It was all perfect! The decor was beautiful and Kevin was an awesome DJ. He was the perfect MC - made things happen, kept the events running, played the BEST music all night long. We loved him! They are a perfect, one-stop shop for many things a wedding needs.
Absolutely amazing! Kevin was our DJ and the team there for music and lighting did a fantastic job! They were always two steps ahead on planning and making sure everything fell into place, and were incredibly professional throughout the entire process. We absolutely recommend them!
We used Fantasy Sound for our lighting, drapery, Photo Booth and some decor and DJ. Kevin was our DJ and was very helpful with the planning and was amazing the day of! He followed our timeline and definitely knew what to play to get the crowd dancing. The lighting, drapery and decor were gorgeous and set up so efficiently and the Photo Booth was such a fun addition!
Fantasy Sound Events was beyond amazing!! From the planning process and deciding what we wanted until our wedding day, they exceeded our expectations. They were always available to answer all of my questions and probably sent me over 10 different quotes at ease because I just couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted! They definitely made it stress free; sending me reminders when payments were due and if something was missing in the file, just so everything would be perfect on our big day, from colors to designs.
For our wedding, we got the 12x12 and 9x9 chandeliers with gobo wash. The chandelier was without a doubt the highlight of our reception at Palm Event Center and the lighting on the chandelier was so perfect. Everyone is still talking about it until now!
I would, without a doubt, 110% recommend FSE and their services to anyone who is planning a wedding!! We cannot thank them enough for making our day so special and memorable!!
We are so thankful to have worked with Fantasy Sound Event Services for our wedding. They were recommended by our venue (Wente) and were impressed with their professionalism from start to finish. We used their DJ, lighting and and photobooth services and we could not have been more pleased with our decision. Since we planned our wedding from the east coast, we truly appreciated the prompt email communication with the office team and the flexibility in scheduling meetings (both by phone and in person when we were in town). Fantasy Sound clearly has their DJ services down to a science; their planning packet was detail-oriented and thorough, which made us feel so assured leading up to our wedding day. From our first call with Nick (who we hired as our DJ), his knowledge and experience was evident. He listened closely to our wishes for our ceremony and reception and he helped us design a package that aligned. On the big day, Nick was patient and attentive to ensure everything ran according to our timeline. He provided a perfect level of personality and enthusiasm to keep guests on the dance floor while also allowing the focus to truly be on us. Nick, thank you for your efforts to make our wedding absolutely incredible!
I rented a large, wooden backdrop from Fantasy Sound Events that was used for decor at my wedding. It was beautiful, and great for photo opps! FSE Events set up and cleaned up the wall, without any complications. The only think I would say is the price for set up, clean up, and rental was a bit expensive.
Fantasy Sounds had really made the vision of our wedding come alive. It was an extremely easy process from the beginning, Fantasy Sounds walked us through their wide selection of services (DJ, Photo Booth, videography, photography, and lighting). The staff is very helpful and kind, and quickly responds back to emails within a day. They also hold showcases at their warehouse and other wedding venues, getting a chance to meet their team and personally see the wide range of rentals and work they offer. Fantasy Sounds is definitely your go to!
Perfectly executed our lighting for the center of the dance floor. They provide the best options for that wow factor when your guests walk into the room!
Fantasy Sound and Event Services was absolutely fantastic. We used them for their DJ services (DJ ET did a great job!) I LOVE their online platform to input the wedding timeline, songs selections and notes about each step of the day. They were fantastic in returning my returning my e-mails and asking all my many questions. We can't say enough positive things about Fantasy.
We love Fantasy Sound! We used them for our wedding last month. we used them for our DJ services, lighting, draping and photo booth. They were so great! Glenn was our DJ and he is the best. For lighting and draping- they worked so cohesively with my wedding planner to make it absolutely gorgeous. For photo booth, their service was a hit. There was an on-site attendant to help. And you have the option to take a photo or leave a video for the couple. We got a USB of all videos and photos. Great company!!
We are so glad to have worked with Fantasy Sound, as suggested by our venue (Murrieta's Well.) Getting a contract set up was easy, emails were responded to promptly, meeting dates were flexible, including one over the phone, and the music itself was great. From our initial phone meeting, to our in-person meeting to select songs, to his work the day-of, Steve was amazing to work with! He really listened to what we wanted (and didn't want), helped us create a day-of timeline, answered a lot of our questions, and made our wedding day amazing. We got many compliments from him from our guests not only for his musical talent, but also for his outgoing and positive personality. I would definitely recommend Fantasy Sound to work with!
Kevin and the team at Fantasy Sound were amazing to work with! It all started with Darcie at the front desk who was able to quickly respond to all of my questions and really help us decide on a package that would work best for our wedding at Murrieta’s Well. We approached working with all of our vendors with the mindset of “we are hiring professionals, it is best to trust them to do what they do best” and that really paid off. We didn’t give Kevin much guidance in the type of music that we wanted because we didn’t really know what was expected. We chose the specific songs we wanted for specific moments in the wedding but then we let him do his thing and choose songs that would work best for the wedding. Our wedding was a blast and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and the mood that Fantasy Sound our together for us. I cannot recommend them enough!
Nick and the team at Fantasy Sound made the process of coordinating the DJ incredibly easy! Nick and his team arrived and were set up on time. Nick is an incredible MC and kept things flowing smoothly. He utilized a majority of the music we picked and knew how to read the crowd in order to incorporate extra stuff we wanted and what songs the crowd was feeling. They also worked quickly to add lighting that we did not think of until the last minute! Highly recommend Fantasy Sound Event Services!!
Fantasy Sounds is absolutely a company you should work with for you wedding! They take all of the stress out of designing and delivering your wedding day vision! We met with them to pick out some lighting/chandeliers over our dance floor and some awesome up lighting to add a little more texture to the walls. They are exceptional to communicate with, easy to meet with and their team will help you find the right designs and options (especially if you're indecisive like me). FS worked with our venue to get everything set up so it wasn't even a worry the weeks leading up to or day of the wedding!
Fantasy Sound was AMAZING!!!! We used them for lighting and had Steve as our DJ. We could not have been more pleased with them throughout the entire wedding planning process. Every meeting with Steve was full of laughs and fun. He took the time to understand just what we wanted for our big day, and boy did he deliver. The energy he brought to the day as well as all of the great song choices truly made our night special. All of our guests are still commenting on how amazing our DJ was, how great the music was, and how awesome the lighting was. We were so lucky to work with Fantasy Sound to give us such an amazing experience. I would highly suggest attending one of their evening open house events so you can see samples of lighting and meet the DJ's. We totally switched which lighting option we wanted after seeing them in person and absolutely LOVED how everything turned out. We cannot thank Steve and the rest of Fantasy Sound enough for helping make our big day so amazing!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
The whole Fantasy Sound team was stellar to work with. Steve was the DJ for our wedding at Nella Terra and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. He did a great job at understanding our musical likes and dislikes and offering direction when we needed it. The day-of, everything was perfect. He was SO GOOD at reading the room. I've never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding ALL NIGHT. I was so happy with their services. I highly recommend hiring Fantasy Sound for your event.
Fantasy Sound provided the DJ for our new daughter-in-law and son’s wedding at Nella Terra Cellars. Steve was amazing with the crowd, knew exactly how to keep folks on the dance floor and kept the party going...so much fun! I would highly recommend this company and Steve for any social gathering where you want everyone to have a great time!
We hired Fantasy Sound Event Services shortly after becoming engaged. Besides all of the fantastic reviews that we had come across on several platforms, the fact that they were ever so accommodating was a huge benefit for us in making the huge decision to entrust FSE with our dreams and hopes for a fabulous wedding day.
We first met with Kevin at a preliminary meeting to discuss their availability with our event date and also to discuss our wants, needs, and everything else in between!
A contract was drafted, but of course, I made several additions within the next 16 months. Remember: You can always add on but you cannot take away! That being said, be sure to really know your vision. In the end, we contracted the following with FSE: DJ Nick, Ceremony Music, Reception Music and MC-ing, Photo Booth with unlimited print-outs for our guests and a "Green Shrub Backdrop" (GUYS- DO THIS IT MAKES A WOLRD OF DIFFERENCE!), 3 backdrop wood walls with our "C&P" letters on it, uplighting, cake spot, and custom monogram lighting on the floor for our huge ceremony space, and we also transformed our ceremony space into a kid's play area where we had contracted from FSE a screen, projector, and a speaker for movies and video games for the kids during the reception. The administrative staff was so fabulous with their kindness and communications. They were quick and polite with all my crazy questions- some of which I'm sure I asked twice! Nick, our DJ, was so great and accommodating for our two meetings regarding which songs we wanted, didn't want, etc. It was clear that his goal was to make sure we were happy, and boy was that met x-infinity!
My husband and I had such a great time, and with the help of FSE they truly brought our vision to life. About a week or so after the wedding, we received a piece of mail from FSE which enclosed a thank you note (No, THANK YOU!), a USB drive of every single photo taken at our photo booth, and our custom made monogram piece which was used for the display on the floor. So truly awesome, and we cannot say enough about FSE!
Thanks to Steve for being our DJ! He's so awesome, great personality, got a long great with the crowd, and he kept everyone dancing until the very end of the wedding!! I definitely would recommend him as a DJ, he kept it LIT!! Other services we had from Fantasy sound was the Chandelier/lighting, and the Photobooth. The Chandelier was amazing, it was so beautiful and looked amazing in photos! We also had a back lighting which reflected the chandelier and a GOBO of our names, and it was gorgeous! The photobooth was so much fun! I love the open space and a group of people can fit into one photos! I overall recommend them for there wonderful service and personality!! It was a one stop vendor for us! <3
Easy, great communication and beautifully executed. We brought on Fantasy Sound for ceremony drapes and reception lighting for our recent wedding at Palm Event Center. From planning out exactly what we needed, how pricing would be adjusted and final execution, Darcie was fantastic in helping us set up just what we needed. Though we didn't get to meet any of the team in-person the day-of, the results were phenomenal. Throw in the fact that Fantasy Sound has done countless weddings at Palm and nearby venues, and it's no wonder hiring them was stress-free. We can't recommend them enough for wedding services in the area.
We used Fantasy Sound for our DJ, photobooth, ceremony drapery, and reception specialty lighting. We did custom market lights in a way they had never done before. They were so amazing in making sure my dream became reality! These decorations took The Palm Event Center to the next level. Steve was our DJ and he was perfect!!! He always knew what song to play next to keep he party going and always made sure my husband and I were enjoying ourselves. They are an amazing and professional company. Worth every penny.
My husband and I used Fantasy Sound for both our DJ services and Photobooth services. Kevin, the owner, was our DJ and MC for the evening and he did such a wonderful job. Our photobooth attendant was very helpful and we cannot wait to receive a copy of all our guest's photos.
Kevin was extremely helpful during all of our pre-planning meetings and is definitely worth booking for your wedding ceremony. The wedding went perfectly and I would hire Fantasy Sound in a heartbeat!
The mics didn't work during my wedding reception so no one could hear the speeches.
Their process is very organized; on the other hand, you're made to feel like you're just a number with them (they do so many weddings per weekend).
The DJ we worked with was nice. Try to get one of the owners as your DJ if you go with this company.
We hired Fantasy Sound for our DJ, lighting, and photobooth for our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars on September 15th, 2017. Kevin Dennis was our DJ. Darcie was our primary contact in the office. We were referred to Fantasy Sound from the venue and we were so glad that we were!
From our first meeting with Kevin, he made us feel at ease about the whole process. It is clear that Fantasy Sound is an incredibly professional company. Kevin listened to help understand the vision for our reception, and answered all of our questions. His guidance from experience was invaluable to our planning. Kevin personally edited a cutting of our first dance song so we could practice in advance. Darcie helped counsel us through the photobooth planning process, including our constant switching of where we wanted it to be placed. Endless thanks for their flexibility.
On the day, Kevin was present and professional. He made me (Kevin, the groom) feel perfectly at ease when he put a microphone on me for the ceremony, and everything sounded great. The reception was absolutely made by Kevin. Not only did he keep things running smoothly and on time, but several guests commented that it was the best reception dance music they had ever heard, and a few asked for the playlist that he had put together.
We are so glad we hired Kevin to be our DJ, and for Fantasy Sound for helping to provide the perfect wedding. Thank you!
Fantasy Sound were absolutely amazing! From planning stages to our wedding day, they were available to answer any questions we had. Darcie from the office regularly reminded us of any upcoming meetings we had with them or when payment was due (you'll know when you start planning a wedding how much these reminders come in handy!)
Our DJ Kevin was awesome. He got our music taste down perfectly and had our guests on their feet all night. Finally the lighting looked INCREDIBLE. We'd wanted a kind of inside/outside flow for our reception and we went for the bronzy color which created a beautiful sunset feel to the room. All in all I can't fault Fantasy Sound and would recommend them for any big event I was planning. Thank you guys for making our wedding day so wonderful!
Father of the Bride: This was one of our best choices hands down. We used Fantasy Sound for both the 30 Day Coordinator and DJ. I never give a rating of 10 so I will have to give them 9.99! Keven and Megan coordinated and managed the Wedding Day Time Line to perfection. The DJ (Kevin) and equipment provided the perfect music sound levels and never once was there a break in dance floor fun. Megan assisted and attended to both the Bride and Groom at every level. Together they orchestrated a memorable event with never ending compliments from attending guests. I, nor my daughter, nor my Son-In-Law had never met nor do we know anyone at Fantasy Sound but I again will say, this was one of our best decisions to a perfectly executed wedding. Worth every penny with not one flaw throughout the entire process. Great job Kevin and Megan and THANK YOU
I love fantasy sound!!
We hired fantasy sound to do our lighting, video, custom monogram, curtains, photobooth and DJ service. From the moment we set foot in the door, we felt right at home. They took care of everything and made wedding planning (which can be really stressful) actually enjoyable. Hire them for all your wedding needs!
Shout out to Kevin and Jimmy! You guys rock!!
Also thank you Darcy (and everyone else) for answering all my questions on the phone!
We used fantasy sounds for our DJ and our drapery/chandelier! Steve was our DJ, he was awesome! So full of life and played THE best music while focusing on us. The chandelier we had was beautiful and so was our background drapery for our head table!
Steve was wonderful. The only problem was that the acoustics in the venue made it difficult for us to hear the toasts.
Fantasy sound was amazing!!! Our dj was Kevin and he was excellent! It was important to me that people danced all night and he made it happen. He has been doing this a long time and really knows how to read the room. We also used Jimmy as our videographer. He was wonderful as well. He was so unobtrusive that many people told me they never even noticed his cameras. However, he sent me a sneak peek within a week of the wedding and he clearly was capturing it all!! Also, he seemed to work well with my photographer. They seemed to be collaborating on cool shots. I would highly recommend Fantasy Sound for dj and videography!!!
We their lightning service for our wedding. They did such an amazing job with GOBO Pattern Wash, cake spot light and Custom Monogram. They made the barrel room stunning!! We got so much compliments from our guests that our reception is like the dining hall in Hogwarts :) They're so professional, responsive and easy to work with. We'd highly recommend them for anyone who's looking for lightning service for their events :)
Fantasy Sound Event Services is top notch! Our DJ was Kevin, and he was outstanding, funny, and had the dance floor packed all night! The flow of my wedding was something I was nervous about but Kevin was perfect-- the timeline was perfect. Darcee in the office is always available, answers any questions, and is super friendly. Letting someone run your big day is a huge task but with Fantasy Sounds, you do not have to worry!
Working with the team at Fantasy was a real dream come true! They helped us set up last-minute lighting design for our Feb. wedding and were so patient and helpful while we made up our minds about what we wanted.
Their team got set up and removal of our chandelier done in lightning-fast speed and were gracious the whole time.
Highly recommend!!
We got married at Casa Real in Nov. 2016. Throughout that, Fantasy Sound was an integral part to our planning and experience for the wedding. Not only were they professional, friendly, and organized throughout the entire process; but they also were consistently able to help us overcome problems that came with planning and all of the cooks in the kitchen that comes with planning a wedding.
While the lighting was amazing, perfectly handled, and gave an amazing glow to our photos; our DJ (Kevin) was perfect. He handled interruptions thrown in during the wedding day with ease, and made the night flow perfectly. His music choices were great, so great that I still have people talking about how good our DJ was and how fun the entire night of dancing was. I don't think there was a moment the dance floor was empty throughout the night.
Fantasy Sound really did make our wedding a stress free experience. Thanks Fantasy Sound!
Kevin was a wonderful DJ and kept us dancing all night! Meeting with Kevin right before the wedding put my mind at ease and I knew the night would go as plan and it did! I would highly recommend Fantasy Sound!
We loved working with Fantasy sound and events. They made the process so easy with handouts to plan the ceremony and music throughout the wedding. The DJ, Nick, was very friendly and did an awesome job. We had so many compliments on the great playlist, I never left the dance floor and all of our guests danced throughout the night. The lighting was beautiful as well. We definitely recommend them.
What a great company to hire for your wedding! I got married in February and they were by far the easiest and most professional vendor to work with! I used them for Lighting and Decor services, DJ, and Photobooth.
The lighting and decor was magical. They make sure everything is in its right place and every detail is perfect!
My DJ was Steve and he was awesome! He was really fun and knew how to read the crowd. We met with him twice to discuss music selections and he listened to all of our concerns and requests.
The photobooth was a huge hit at the wedding! My guests enjoyed taking pictures with the all the fun props they provide and got to take home copies right then and there. It was great to get digital copies as well after the wedding to look through and see how fun my guests had on my special day.
I would recommend Fantasy Sound to everyone! They know how to make your special day even more special. You will not be disappointed!
Thank you again Fantasy Sound for a memorable day!
Fantasy Sound recently did an amazing job with our wedding reception. The uplighting was beautiful, and Nick's DJ'ing was superb. We didn't have time to make a list of songstress to play, instead choosing to discuss the kinds of songs we liked, and he hit it spot on. We couldn't have asked for a more seamless experience, and we highly recommend them!
Steve was amazing... perfect timing and clarity with mics/music at the ceremony, to kept us on time, played the BEST reception music that kept people dancing all night long!
We had several wedding guest comment on how amazing of a job DJ Steve did.
Steve from Fantasy sound has our higher recommendation!
Planning our wedding from out of state meant I could not go to Livermore to talk with Fantasy Sound Services, but they handled everything via phone and email very professionally and in a timely manner. When the DJ we had booked for our day left the company for a new opportunity, Fantasy made sure we had a smooth transition to a new DJ. Nick ended up being our DJ for our wedding and he was FANTASTIC! I highly recommend working with Nick and his fantastic team for your event.
Even though I couldn't meet with Nick before the wedding, Nick was able to take my phone calls and emails as needed in order to make sure our music was perfect. Nick kept the flow of our event moving smoothly and had amazing music playing all night long. Our guests were dancing and happy the entire night!
Kevin and his team are incredible!! We worked with Fantasy Sound for our lighting and decor and had Kevin as our DJ and boy are we glad we did!! The lighting and decor seriously made the venue perfect! The venue is already beautiful, but adding those little details took it to another level! We had so many compliments on all of it! As for Kevin being our DJ, he was AMAZING!! Everyone loved his style and people were on the dance floor the entire time! Thank you so much Kevin and team for everything you guys did!! We really appreciated it and you all were a big part in making our wedding dreams come true! I promise those who book Fantasy Sound will NOT be disappointed!!
We had a great experience with Fantasy Sound - we hired them for DJ and day of coordination. Kevin was our coordinator, and Steve was our DJ, and they both did an absolutely great job day of. The preparation beforehand was easy and Kevin was incredibly helpful through the entire process, giving us great advice on how to make sure our day was well planned and enjoyable for everyone, including us. We had a lot of fun working with these guys, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking. They were incredibly responsive, professional, and personable, and helped everything go perfectly!
We loved working with Fantasy Sound!! Lindsay was absolutely over-the-top helpful. She went above and beyond from start to finish and quick to respond at all times, sending photos with descriptions, being patient with taking a long time on decisions or making changes, late additions, and so much more. She even went above and beyond to find a way to match our GOBO to our invites when we couldn't get the info on the exact font, she found a way!! We didn't meet the team that helped make everything look perfect the day of, but they certainly did an incredible job. Everything was hung up completely perfect, to the centimeter! Our rentals from Fantasy Sound played a huge role in making our big day look like a dream come true! You would be smart to use Fantasy Sound for your event rentals and they will make you feel like a top priority.
Fantasy Sound provided the lighting for my wedding in December. In all honesty, we just needed a bare-bones, basic uplighting of our ballroom and cocktail area, but even though our needs were pretty minimal, Fantasy Sound was in constant communication and made sure everything was perfect. I cannot stress how important communication is with vendors (I wasn't as lucky with some of my other vendors), but they always got back to me with answers to my many questions right away, and were always efficient, professional, and by the time the wedding actually came around, I had full trust that they'd get the job done exactly - and they did! Fabulous customer service, fair prices, and the lights made the cavernous ballroom look warm and amazing.
We hired Fantasy SES for our November 13th wedding, and there was nothing unlucky about our decision! From the very beginning when we requested a quote and signed up for the DJ Meet-and-Greet, to the end of our wedding day, the folks at Fantasy were a truly professional and easy to work with. All of the DJs we met seemed amazing, but as soon as we chatted with Steve, we knew he was the DJ for us. We told him our vision for our wedding (priories: full dance floor, everyone having fun, etc) and he ran with them! Steve really knows how to read a dance floor and keep a good party going. He was so much fun to have as an MC and a DJ, and never once faltered in his professionalism. We received so many compliments from guests and even other vendors.
We also consulted with Nick for some additional lighting. We had a strict budget for lighting, and we never once felt pressured on an upsell--Nick was great in providing quotes and suggestions based on our budget, vision, and venue.
Thank you, Fantasy SES and crew!
Fantasy Sound was one of the preferred wedding vendors for weddings held at Wente. Now I know why! We worked with Nick for pre-planning (Darcie also helped!) and he was our DJ for the wedding. He was great. During our planning meetings, he knew the layout of the property and was able to give us advice on what he had seen that worked really well. He let us give as many, or as few songs as we wanted for the reception and played them in an order that went with the mood. When the schedule shifted a bit, he made sure to check in with us so that everyone was on the same page with the adjustments. Our guests danced the entire time (some even got up to dance to the dinner music!) and had so much fun. If you want a vendor with loads of experience to make your day stress free, go with Fantasy Sound! And choose Nick!
Steve was the DJ for my wedding on 10/11 at a family friend’s house and he was absolutely amazing! We knew from the first time we met him at Fantasy Sound’s DJ Meet and Greet that he was the DJ for us. He made us feel comfortable and his music knowledge was astounding. We didn’t really have an idea of what type of music we wanted and Steve was always there to offer feedback and ideas and we valued his input so much. We got nothing but rave reviews about the music and I attribute them all to Steve- he was amazing!
We also had Fantasy Sound do some lighting for us- we love bistro/string lighting but I was nervous that the venue wasn’t going to be able to support that…so they came out to the house to do a consultation to see what they could provide which put my mind at ease. I didn’t have to worry about blowing a fuse or anything because they did the legwork in advance! The lighting turned out exactly how we wanted it to and I could not have been happier!
Fantasy Sound made my wedding perfect and I can’t thank them enough!
We had the absolute best experience with Fantasy Sound! We booked both lighting and DJ and they made our wedding unforgettable. The lighting totally transformed the room- the chandeliers were dazzling- and our DJ, Kevin, was incredible. He helped us keep everything on track during the day without pressuring us or stressing us out and he made sure that the dance floor was packed all night. The booking process was incredibly easy- I could do everything online which was a huge plus for a girl like me who works a ton and hates being on the phone! I had quite a few questions at the start and Darcie was always timely in her responses, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I knew I was in a great hands! I cannot recommend Fantasy Sound enough- you simply HAVE to have them be a part of your wedding!
Kevin was amazing. From the very first time we met him we knew that he would be our DJ. He was kind and knowledgable. He was able to guide us and give us advice without taking over. I felt confident going into the night that he would handle everything. During our wedding he had people on the dance floor all night long and there was never a dull moment. I would definitely use Kevin again for any event!!
Kevin was our MC and DJ on Sunday 9/20/15 at Purple Orchid Spa. We had an outside venue and everything was amazing!
Kevin was more like working with a friend than a vendor. He kept them vibe and music flowing and kept people out on the dance floor.
He incorporated everything we wanted.
It made for a magical night and were very Happy that Fantasy Sound was part of it!
Thank you again. We will keep Fantasy in mind for future Sound system needs!.

There is a reason why Fantasy Sound Event Services are rated high and a preferred vendor. They are very professional and responsive. We booked lighting and DJ services with them.
Lighting: Our feel for our wedding was very clean, simple and romantic. We loved our venue the way it was (Palm Event Center, Pleasanton) but wanted to add our touches. We as a couple always imagined a dance floor with lanterns. I must admit, from time to time, I was worried about how it would turn out...but they did an amazing job of not over-doing it and changing the sizes of the lanterns. We also used them for the GOBO splash of our names....it was the perfect touch and they suggested it on the dance floor, which came out nicely.
DJ: We had shopped around for a DJ and noticed all the great reviews on yelp and facebook. Our venue required the DJ to be the MC as well, so we knew it was important to find the right one. FSEE has a DJ meet and greet which gives you the opportunity to talk with the DJ's and make your choice. We chose NIck and he was AWESOME!! Not only did he play music from our playlist/genre, he was an engaging MC and very organized. One element to your wedding is the DJ/MC...if you have the right one, you don't worry about how things will flow. Nick also worked with us on song selection and music entrances. My husband wanted our entrance a certain way with songs and Nick fulfilled!!!
I would also like to add that this vendor is professional! They keep you on track for deadlines and very responsive! Crystal was always available to answer my questions whether a complex one or simple one.
I believe Fantasy Sound is the best there is out there! Thank you for making our wedding memorable!!!
we had a great DJ for our wedding. very friendly and down to earth. we had couple request for Spanish songs and he was very good at mixing up the music for all our guests.
We found Fantasy Sound Event Services through our venue, as they are one of the preferred vendors at the Palm Event Center. I do not have enough good things to say about them! We chose Nick as our DJ, as we had read many reviews saying he is the best- and we are SO happy we picked him! Nick is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helped to create our perfect evening. He really knows what he is doing, and he made sure every little detail went smoothly- from the ceremony, cocktail hour to the reception- everything was perfect! I HIGHLY recommend Fantasy Sound and Nick if you are looking for a fabulous DJ and MC.
Thanks Nick!!!

I can't say enough about the professionalism, quality and experience Fantasy Sound Event Services provided to our wedding. They were diligent about the details, but made it very easy to work with them about the music selection and payments.
We had Steve as our DJ and he seriously made our night! When meeting him before the wedding, we emphasized our want for a giant dance party and he definitely delivered. He took our song choices and read the room perfectly for hours of non-stop fun. We continue to hear from our guests how much fun they had from the packed dance floor, thanks to the great flow Steve provided!
So overall, if you're looking for a professional company and an awesome DJ, Fantasy Sound is worth every penny!
We used Fantasy for our wedding at the Palm Event Center last month. They were great and preferred vendors which made the process seamless. They did our lighting, monogram, and chandelier and I cannot tell you how beautiful everything looked once it was set up. They never had any issues setting up or taking down and I would recommend using them for their many other services as well!
My husband and I were recently married on 2/21/15 at Casa Real and worked with the Fantasy Sound team for our custom gobo projection and specialty spot and chandelier lighting.
We met Fantasy Sound back in October and immediately knew from their visual displays that we wanted to work with them. The team was very thorough in asking what specifically we were looking for and walking us through the process for finalizing our agreement. Fantasy Sound was wonderful in helping us set up a “must have” and ‘nice to have” estimate for budgeting purposes. Also, after leaving our first meeting, my husband and I were allowed the time to contemplate what we really wanted and never felt pressured or obligated to purchase anything.
Closer to the event, we met with the Fantasy Sound team to go over final details of the big day. We discussed specific placement of spot lights and the chandeliers, to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted.
Our event turned out beautifully and many guests commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Had it not been for the proficiency and vision offered by Fantasy Sound, I know we wouldn't have achieved the same outcome. Thanks to the amazing team that was involved!!
I recommend Fantasy Sound to anyone looking for an amazing wedding experience. We used them for our DJ/MC and photobooth. The music was awesome. The DJ kept us on track throughout the night. Everyone danced. The photobooth is always manned. No issues at all. Everyone loved it.
Kevin was very professional, warm and friendly. Put together a great list of songs based on our requests and wishes. Announcements and timing were spot on.
