Howe Weddings

aying not only did she tend to my husband and I, but also to our parents. She made sure we all had everything we needed to ensure we were freed up to talk to everyone and enjoy the night. I couldn’t recommend them more!

easy to work with! They plan everything ahead of time down to the minute and adapt as needed/as the couple would like throughout the evening. I felt that we were in such good hands all evening long and that we were treated like royalty! In addition to playing all the right music, getting the crowd in a partying mood, and perfectly MCing, they made sure we had drinks if we wanted them from the moment we arrived, they carried our plates for us, opened our champagne and did an amazing job helping us carry out our vision for our reception. I cannot say enough wonderful things about these two. My husband and I have very high standards and this husband-wife duo exceeded all of our expectations! The Howes are AMAZING and should be the first vendor you book! Worth every single penny!!!!

place, and they kept us calm and running smoothly all night. They even worked with our parents to plan a huge surprise as part of the reception and still managed to keep everything on schedule! Once we arrived at our reception venue, I didn't have to lift a finger. The Howes did everything from bustle my dress to carry my food and drinks, and they made sure that our parents were spoiled all night long as well. I can not say enough wonderful things about these two. Especially for all those other Type A brides like me, this team is a MUST HAVE!

elped me plan everything. He was very professional and easy to work with. It was when I saw him carry an elderly guest’s food plate to her table for her that really melted my heart. He went above and beyond. Howe Weddings exceeded my expectations!

ss. One of my best decisions was hiring them.

is there to help with anything and everything that she can to make the day run smoothly. Kelly was so organized, we had no concerns going into the wedding day because we already knew ahead of time what was going to be happening and when. One of the things that set Howe Weddings apart from others is their attention to detail, but also their online portal. It made things so easy - you could rearrange the event orders and times, pick must play songs, pick DO NOT PLAY songs, and allow trusted friends or family to help pick songs that would play during the reception. We used Howe Weddings for our ceremony as well and we are so glad that we did. The speakers were perfect, the mics worked like a charm and were the perfect volume, and Susan and Kelly had it all organized so we didn't have to stress about anything. Susan was such a life saver for our sanity on our big day - she made sure we were doing okay all evening and was there to take care of anything (big or small) that came up to ensure we were enjoying our day. We also had beautiful uplighting for our reception that really transformed the room into a romantic setting. We are so grateful to have picked Howe Weddings to be a part of our big day. If you're looking for a reliable, affordable, well worth the money, organized DJ - I would definitely recommend Susan & Kelly Howe.

andled everything just perfectly. We used uplighting and a backdrop which looked great. Our ceremony lasted longer than planned and they knew exactly how to handle it. I HIGHLY recommend them, they genuinely cared that our day went amazing.

rything from cake cuttings to sneak aways. Susan was the day of coordinator and she made sure everyone was where they needed to be and cued us to walk down the aisle. Kelly has an amazing personality and did a great job telling our guests where to be and announced our wedding hashtag and explained it to all our guests. My sister is on the Autism spectrum, and Kelly and Susan did a fantastic job marking where she needed to stand and helped her remember her cues for the wedding. Whenever we needed a little break, Susan would help us duck out for pictures and Kelly would play some amazing song that got the crowd on their feet. It felt nice knowing we could sneak away and our guests were still being entertained. I cannot thank them enough for everything. They arrived early and coordinated with all the vendors, I never had to greet a single vendor they took care of everything! My husband and I can't stop thinking about how not a SINGLE thing went wrong, and we owe that to Kelly and Susan! They knew what we wanted, the atmosphere of the crowd, and just what to do when someone was stressed. We love you guys and if we ever decided to renew our vows, you'll be the first ones we call.

or. She was so incredibly helpful the whole day and night! Couldn't have asked for a better DJ with Kelly, he kept us up to date on the KU game without even asking which was fantastic! Wouldn't have changed a thing.

y. We loved how organized and fun they were to work with. Not only was Kelly the DJ, but Susan helped keep everything organized and flowing for the evening. They created a timeline for the whole reception and we had no hiccups with the sound system or anything. We were able to choose the songs we wanted to have played and even which ones we didn't want played. I appreciated having not only a great DJ but also someone that helped with planning. Thank you for your hard work and for being so awesome!

he day of the wedding, as well as lead us through the process beforehand. These two were so knowledgable, but let us execute our vision with guidance and assistance. The day of the wedding, they worked through the inevitable kinks and issues with ease and the least amount of stress on us as possible. They kept the party going by playing all of our favorite songs. I had so many guests come up to me and tell me how they had never seen so many people be on the dance floor, and STAY on the dance floor. They made our wedding such a blast! Thanks again, Kelly and Susan.

our DJ. They definitely delivered! All my guests said they loved our DJ and was one of the most fun weddings they had been to. You can have a monogram light added, up-lighting (in whatever color you want – they use LED lighting), and extra speakers for additional sound. They were reasonably priced and have a guest request system that you can provide the info for your guests in your invitations, but they also do requests at the reception as well. They make sure the reception flows smoothly and they provide you with a schedule of the reception. They make sure that everything gets done and that they stay on schedule. Kelly and Susan are married and they tag team at the reception. Susan is in charge of the people at the reception, making sure that people are where they need to be at the right time. They also help you come up with fun ideas to help you personalize your wedding reception. They are a sweet couple and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a top notch DJ. Very professional couple as well.

email and used their planning tools on their website to create a playlist and set song list for the special events at the wedding (father/daughter, mother/son dance, etc). Their website was very straightforward and easy to use, and Kelly was very personable throughout the whole process. We had a meeting the week before the wedding to nail down the final details, and I felt completely assured at the meeting that the wedding was in capable hands! The wedding went very smoothly, and Kelly and Susan did a great job of keeping the mood right and going smoothly. They were both fun and personable and easy to work with. My only complaint is that some songs were played during the reception that were not on our playlist, and we didn't enjoy a few of them. I would have preferred they completely stuck to our predetermined list. Overall, I was extremely satisfied and happy with Howe Weddings, and I would recommend them for an event or wedding! Review from the MOB: Kelly and his wife, Susan, were recommended by the photographer for our daughter's wedding. From start to finish, they were fabulous to work with. Very accommodating in meeting us near our house (which was an hour across town) and very competitive from a price standpoint. He's a one-man operation so, unlike other companies, we knew who would show up at the wedding and there were no surprises. Thank you both~you listened to our wishes, helped the wedding run smoothly and made it fun!

Sitting down with them a few weeks before the wedding put our minds completely at ease the day of and allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of our day. We told them that we wanted our reception to be fun and to feel like a party and I can honestly say our dance floor was packed the entire night! We could not have asked for a better wedding and reception and so much of that is owed to Kelly and Susan. We will continue to recommend them any chance we can!

during the reception. Kelly did a wonderful job with music and announcing. Everyone had an awesome time! I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

f and made sure we got everything we needed throughout the day. We had such a blast thanks to them! They kept the dance party going, there was not a single song that stopped people from dancing, our dance floor was full the whole night! I highly suggest them!

oldies, jazz and pop music! On the wedding day, Kelly guided the evening acting not only as DJ, but helping organize our grand entrance and buffet. He really kept the wedding on track and moving smoothly. He kept the wedding about us, but was lively and entertaining in his commentary. I cannot say enough wonderful things about DJ Kelly!

letely done we had top service from both of them. When issues arose they helped us without hesitation. When there was an obstinate guest that didn't want to take her seat before the ceremony she took care it without hesitation. What can you say this team rocks and they are 100% the best dj and coordinator. He played the music off our list and did the extra requests we asked and they took requests and played them shortly after that what more could we ask for. They made our big day even more special. My groom and I would recommend this couple to be there dj and coordinator to anyone planning on getting married. The coordinator helped us through all the planning and made it less stressful on me and my groom. All I can say is you guys rock and we are glad you both were there to make our day even more special and unforgettable.!!!

and Susan were so wonderful to work with. They had a lot of ideas for songs when I was stuck on what I wanted. We did our formalities a little out of order and Kelly and Susan did a great job of doing everything just how we wanted. They also did a great job of making sure our family was present for everything so they didn't miss anything and were good about announcing things such as the cake cutting, the photo booth, last dance, etc. I don't remember looking at our dance floor and ever seeing it empty. In fact, in our pictures, I see it jammed packed. They played fun music that kept everyone involved and everyone dancing. I had so much fun and was so sad when the night ended. Thank you Kelly and Susan for making our night wonderful! We were told our reception was so much fun and we have to owe some of that to you for keeping the party going and keeping it fun! Great job of mixing the music! I highly recommend this dynamic duo!

he wedding say itself to be enjoyable. They are well prepared and execute everything very well. Their style and approach make using their services so effortless and smooth.

n a headset with Kelly. That way she could let him know when we were about to enter the room, come down the aisle, etc. so Kelly always knew when to start the music at exactly the right time. And if we were running off schedule, the music still started exactly when we needed it. AND they provide uplights! Everything was great, and the dance music was PERFECT!!! I very much suggest that any bride in the KC area look into using them!!

r guests and helped with song ideas to Kelly. Overall, we were thrilled with how our reception ran and that's because of them!

They did an incredible job of keeping things on schedule as that was important to us. We wanted to get the required things out of the way so the party could get started and they did just that. The venue told us that our group was the best dancing group that they had in years-the floor was actually shaking! We give Kelly most of the credit as he played the right songs to get the guests out of their chairs and on the floor. Many of the guests have made remarks that was the most fun they had had in a long time-and that was our ultimate goal: that our guests would have an fun and amazing night. The lighting was beautiful, as a matter of fact, the venue owners told us that they were going to talk to Kelly to see if he would consult with them on how to incorporate lighting into their venue. Thanks Kelly and Susan for a PERFECT night with awesome memories. I wish I had another wedding to plan-I would rebook them in a heartbeat!

very song they played always had someone up dancing. We had a very fun time. LOVED IT!

ting, first dance etc. The dance floor was packed all night and they played exactly what we wanted. And even some stuff that was even better than what we thought we wanted :) I would recommend them for any occasion that you need a DJ. I didnt have to worry about anything all night. Susan made sure our families were there and able to witness the cake cutting and dances, and made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. They have awesome lighting as well that is included in the price. You MUST book them for your wedding if you want a stress free and fun day!

They also worked with me to create a few very nice events and worked very well with my religious restrictions (like no garter toss etc) BUT- I had an outdoor reception and it started to sprinkle, like barely, and they just closed up and left without much warning. I suppose leaving when it rains is understandable, but I was charged for 6 hours of play time, and they only did about 2 and a half, and they refused to prorate for the 4ish hours they weren't there. Overall, I liked them, and I were suggest them, but maybe not for an outdoor reception.

vided clues to those who had special dances, speeches, etc. The entire wedding was a success, but we received many compliments on the DJ. I would highly recommend Party Sounds for a wedding.

new what they were doing and that we could trust them with this most important event in our lives. They told us that Bobby and Connie would handle the actual event, but that they would do the intial coordinating with us. It worked out perfectly. They offered an online event sheet, where we could update timelines, request songs and even have our guests request songs. One of my bridesmaids even commented on her Facebook page that it was the "best idea ever!" Goodness - I think she requested 40 songs. When we arrived to our reception, we were immediately greeted by Connie outside (we had met Bobby and Connie at our final meeting). She helped us step through the rest of the night and neither Bobby or Connie were intrusive at all - they let us enjoy our event and I felt confident that they had everything under control. They continually set the tone and made announcements when needed, and took requests from guests. The uplights were lovely and added the right romantic touch to the event. We were concerned about whether or not anyone would dance at our reception. A few songs into it, the dance floor was packed. Turns out our group LOVED to line dance, which Bobby and Connie picked up on. They also found other themes that worked too. My new husband and I had SO MUCH fun at our reception. I have also heard that many of our wedding guests said the same thing. I know that people are suggesting that brides use iPODS and forego a DJ. DON'T DO IT!!!! You just have to find the RIGHT DJ. I would highly recommend Party Sounds. You will love working with them.

he had a system set up online where you could search from thousands of his songs to make your own requests and song list all online. So impressed!

resources to use that went beyond just lighting & music. Kelly would check in with us periodically to see if we needed anything before our big day, and always made himself available to us for as many meetings as we felt we needed to be comfortable with how our day would go. When we walked into our reception it literally took our breath away! The music was just the right level, never to loud and obnoxious, but soft enough you could hear but didnt have to yell at the person you were talking to. The lights they had going in the room were amazing! Soft, subtle, and romantic for the dinner, then loud and vibrant (because that is what we wanted) for the party and dancing. Kelly always kept the party moving along at a steady pace, and we would see susan moving around the room to make sure everything was in order for what came next i.e cake cutting, fthr/dghtr dance. Needless to say our wedding is a day we will always remember, but thanks to kelly and susan our wedding day was magical, because they took everything we wanted and made it more than we could of ever imagined it would of been!!
