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!

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!

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.
