We loved our experience with Brent and Thomas! Brent was such a great DJ for the night of the wedding with cues to guest for the evening and the playlist and lights made for the perfect night of dancing and keeping everyone on the dance floor!
Thomas was so communicative and helpful in setting us up for success when we were choosing a DJ and helped with any questions along the way! I'd definitely recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a DJ for their wedding.

I’m reflecting on my two year wedding anniversary and can’t recall if I left a review for Tom and his photo booth colleague, Jake. For good measure, I’m leaving one now to say that they made my wedding day. I absolutely could not have imagined the day without them. They went so above and beyond from start to finish. They delay with hot weather, a power issue on our end, last minute requests, and more so effortlessly. I was thankful to have them as they greatly brought my stress level down. My husband is Brazilian and they were even able to incorporate voice clips from his friends and family during our ceremony. They did so much more than music. From making sure our outdoor backyard ceremony was mic’d up and everyone could hear, to just plain old being a friend. They were so professional and kind. I really can’t say enough good.

rent was amazing. He did an amazing job helping organize the music for different parts of the wedding, working with us on the type of music we wanted to play, hyping up the guests, calling tables up to get their dinner and operating karaoke. His energy, humor, and professionalism was a highlight of the night. We had so many guests compliment him. Hopefully you’re lucky enough that Brent DJs your wedding, it will increase the fun tenfold

DJ Brent was absolutely amazing to work with! He was very professional, personable, accommodating, and made sure that everyone was having fun. We received SO many compliments on the DJ, and everyone had a blast! I had accidentally sent a blank DJ sheet to DJ Brent with our requests and he had accommodated although I resent a filled out sheet last second. He also was flexible and accommodated to a last second record of an addition of a game to play during the wedding. He also made sure that we incorporated both cultures within the music choices. I would highly recommend Northern Sound Entertainment to anyone looking for the best wedding DJ!

DJ Brent did a great job of creating a fun atmosphere for our guests. He listened to us in our planning meeting and really catered the music to us and our style. He was also super great as an emcee could always count on him to hype us up and make fun announcements for the guests. We also really loved the lights set up, which added to the ambiance and fun of the reception. I would 100% recommend Northern Sound!!

We worked with Northern Sounds DJ, Brent, for our wedding! He connected with us prior to the wedding, which was a must! The more information you share about how you want your ceremony and reception to go the better it is for the DJ! He absolutely crushed it for the reception! We are still getting compliments from our guests. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Highly recommend.

We did karaoke for our wedding and Northern Sound made the night easy and fantastic! Brent was our DJ and he was fun and great! The only reason I'm giving 4 starts instead of 5 is a wrong song was played during our ceremony which was an understandable mistake as a different song we had as a backup was played instead. Overall people said it was the most fun they had at a wedding! The equipment was awesome, Tom and Brent brought extra lights to try out even! People were on the dance floor all night which is what matters to me!

Northern Sound Entertainment is very reasonably priced and still the best DJ around. Their communication and flexibility are their strong suits. Our original DJ had scheduling errors and they quickly matched us with someone new who happened to be an even better fit for us. During the wedding, the DJ helped run the show and kept the guests entertained all night long. We had several comments as to how awesome Bjorn was! My only complaint would be that we weren't able to hear more of our favorite songs, but when the night is so short, that's no fault of theirs. I would highly recommend this company to DJ your wedding. We and our guests had the time of our lives!
Vendor response 09/13/2021

When I DJ, I too sometimes play more mu...
sic that is tailored for the group vs. specific bride/groom requests. I think its the fear of losing the attention of the crowd at-large and the desire to keep everyone dancing. I will definitely forward this info to Bjorn and we will always strive to do better.

Northern Sounds did a fabulous job DJing our wedding. Bjorn himself came up to do our wedding, and they did the music and sound for our ceremony as well as emceeing the reception, providing mics and sound for the speeches, and of course DJing the dance. Everything was perfect, there were no weird sound issues, nothing cutting out or feedback noises, and everyone could hear everything at all times. Bjorn was very easygoing and professional and made us feel very confident that he had everything covered and we could just relax and let him handle everything. Tom worked with us ahead of time to ready the music we wanted for the ceremony (all music from our favorite video games) and everything for our grand entrance and anything special we needed for the dance, and they helped with everything we needed.
We also did our videography with Northern Sound, and that was also 5-star fabulous. Tom was professional and so easy to work with, and was obviously well prepared for anything the day could throw at us. He did a great job just following us around and capturing all the special moments on our big day. The bonus drone footage of our venue on the North Shore will be absolutely beautiful. Within a few days of our wedding, we received a full video of our ceremony (with excellent sound) which was absolutely wonderful to be able to send out right away to relatives who couldn't attend because of COVID.
Such a great experience all around!

We were so pleased to be with working with Northern Sound. We used their DJ and Videography package which was reasonably priced and very high quality! It was very nice to have a face to face meeting to confirm all the last minute details, and Tom had brought his videography equipment with to show and explain everything he uses for the day of, which was nice. Tom was such a joy to work with and super easy to talk to and very professional. Watching all of the documentation on the videos brings back such amazing memories because he captured everything beautifully. The DJ service was absolutely amazing as well, they played all of the songs that we had put on our list for recommendations to play, and played all the songs our guests requested. They are very easy to work with and listen to all of your requests and also the no play songs. I am so glad I chose Northern Sound Entertainment for our wedding day!

I can’t even begin to explain how pleased we were with working with Northern Sound. We used their DJ and Videography package which was reasonably priced and very high quality work! Since we did the package we had 2 people at the venue but they worked together well. Tom was the videographer and assisted the DJ. We liked that they did a face to face meeting prior to the wedding date to talk about expectations and songs/type of music we expected. Tom also brought the equipment for the videography part which included a drone which was perfect for our outdoor wedding venue. Tom was able to capture such special moments from our day, small things like when we held hands or the goofy cute moments, and compiled them in such a way that made us feel “all the feels” we had on our wedding day. In terms of the DJ Experience, this too was exceptional. Again with our outdoor wedding you would have never known it was outdoors with how good the quality of their equipment was. Our guests were having such a fun time we asked the DJ to stay one extra hour which was SO nice of them after a long hot day. Overall, I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a high quality, affordable option for wedding DJ and/or Videography.

Working with the Northern Sound team was super easy! Communication was done primarily through email and then we met our DJ, Eric, in person to chat specifics on what we wanted for music. Eric was super fun and great to work with - very flexible and was easy to help set us up for our wedding dance and a special song for my niece (both of which required some YouTube work). We also used them for the Photo booth and I would recommend doing that. The price was excellent and I recommend getting the album so your guests can write notes. I highly recommend using them for your wedding!

Northern Sound was a great value for the price! They had our guests dancing all night and made it easy to make announcements. We loved that we got to meet our DJ ahead of the wedding to plan the general order of the night. We wished our DJ would have played a few more songs off our personal request list from the start, although after we asked him about the list he played more of our requests.
Vendor response 08/11/2019
Hi Amanda,
I appreciate the kind words and honest criticism.
A good Wedding DJ balances...
the bride and groom music choices, along with keeping wedding guests engaged and entertained.
Our goal is to keep as many wedding guests as we can at a reception for as long as possible.
I'm glad I was able to incorporate more of your music choices later on in the evening!
Thank you for the review and for your business. It was a pleasure!
