We've been to a lot of weddings, finding the right DJ was front of mind for us. David was the BEST wedding DJ ever. Our friends and family loved the music. Leading up he was profes...
sional & organized and very proactive.
we are graduates of Indiana University and he queued up "This is Indiana" (requested) back to back with "Fernando" by abba (we had as a suggested play). Electric choice and he had a vision. Needless to say we all went wild and he knew exactly how to curate the vibe for our group.
If you want the best dance floor with hysterical DJ, you have to go with David.

Omega Entertainment was wonderful to work with for our wedding in New Orleans! From the first call with David, we knew they’d be an excellent vendor. Very accessible, easy to work ...
with, and offered great advice! The planning portal for our playlist was a very nice added feature. And they coordinated well with our other vendors.
We had Omega play music and provide sound for our ceremony at BK House; and music and uplighting for our reception at Napoleon House.
Thanks for helping make our day special!

nd the planning suite tool helped us a ton! We were able to input everything we wanted on our big day, and he made sure he filled in any gaps. We had a call ahead of our wedding to make sure we were on the same page and we wouldn't have to do any planning the day of or during the reception. During the reception, he got everyone out on the dance floor with a variety of music and mixed it all together very well. He made our wedding reception amazing and we 100% recommend him for all weddings and events! Thank you, David (DJ STORM)!

Storm was such a huge part of why our wedding felt like an actual celebration instead of just an event on a schedule. From the moment he showed up, he brought this big, fun, ground...
ing energy that made everyone loosen up. He was early, prepared, and somehow knew exactly when to hype things up and when to let moments breathe. On top of all that, he’s just a genuinely fun, cool guy who’s easy to talk to. It felt like having a friend behind the booth, not just a vendor.
The music was perfect and totally us. Every transition felt smooth, nothing felt awkward or rushed, and he read the room so well that people I have literally never seen dance were suddenly on the floor. I don’t know how he did it, but he kept the whole night flowing like it was all meant to happen that way.
Guests kept coming up to us, saying how amazing the music was and how fun the whole vibe felt. He knows what he’s doing. If you want someone professional, fun, and genuinely invested in keeping the energy right the entire night, he’s your guy. We’re really grateful we have him in our lives.

Our DJ was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly very experienced. He had a great presence and was comfortable, confident, and able to read the vibe of the room throughout the...
night. I really appreciated how he communicated with me as the evening went on to make sure everything flowed the way we wanted.
While there were a few moments where we wished he had stuck a bit more closely to the playlist we provided, he was very open to feedback and quick to adjust. He genuinely wanted our night to feel personal, fun, and exactly what we envisioned — and he made that happen.
Overall, he kept the energy up, kept the dance floor full, and helped make our wedding an amazing celebration. We’re grateful for his professionalism and flexibility!

I can’t thank David (Omega Sound & Entertainment) enough for making my daughter’s wedding an unforgettable celebration. From the moment the evening began, he was absolutely phenome...
nal—engaging, charismatic, and completely in tune with the energy of the crowd. Guests couldn’t stop raving about how seamlessly he kept the party flowing, playing the perfect music at every moment.
From spontaneous singalongs to a joyful family dance that brought generations together, David created memories we’ll cherish forever. Even the venue staff took notice—so impressed, they mentioned wanting to add him to the top of their preferred vendor list. I didn’t hesitate to recommend him wholeheartedly.
I’ll absolutely be booking David for our next event. His talent, warmth, and ability to read the room are unmatched. Thank you, David, for turning a special day into something truly magical.

Omega Sound & Entertainment came highly recommended to me from my wedding venue. And let me say they did not disappoint! David was great from the beginning with the booking process...
to get us exactly the service we needed. On our follow up right before the wedding we discussed general wants and a few specific songs. Each song was played at the reception and he even took on guest requests from songs that became anthems of the wedding weekend. He was an amazing MC as well helping with the flow of the wedding and also providing comedic commentary for the dancefloor. I would 100% recommend him and Omega for your event and wedding needs!

It was scheduled to rain on our wedding day and when the forecast changed at the last minute, David and his team quickly pivoted back to our original no-rain plan without us even having to ask. David kept the party going at the reception and I don’t think we left the dance floor all night! We had such a blast and David did such an incredible job incorporating all of our music requests. Our guests also loved David and one of them even asked if we could bring him with us to the afterparty 😊 Overall David was one of our favorite vendors to work with - highly recommend booking Omega Sound!

I had sent a list of songs to give the vibe of what I wanted. He did play from that list but he was also feeling the room and really created the perfect vibe. From Smells Like Teen Spirit to Pink Pony Club, Kevin understood the assignment. He even made our musical theater dreams come true and played Wicked lol. I cannot think of a better way to end the wedding of two theater nerds than everyone screaming Defying Gravity! Thank you a million times Kevin! Wha a way to end the best weekend of our lives!

He didn’t try to upsell us but rather gave us an honest and thoughtful response. He provided example photos of our venue with the uplighting and we are very happy we added it! Our dance floor photos look so fun with the pop of color. We felt so lucky to have David as our DJ and he was amazing to work with!

He was professional with his emceeing, made sure that the announcements were understood by guests, and he even extending the dance time to make sure one of my "must play" songs was part of the night.
I also added uplighting at the last minute with Omega Sound, and it was perfect. Their uplighting is incredibly priced, and he put my mind at ease for it to be perfect when we arrived at the reception. He even greeted us when we arrived at the reception!
Hiring Omega Sound was one of the best decisions of my wedding planning experience. 10/10 would recommend Omega Sound & David!!

I'm a bit of a music snob, so the fact that he was so successful and even exceeded my expectations speaks volumes. I like EDM music, and although that isn't typical for a wedding, David listened and played from the exact request pool that I submitted to him. He knew how to read the room and picked each song at the perfect time. One of my nicest and most helpful vendors by far! I HIGHLY recommend DJ David Storm for weddings, parties, events, anything!

We had the pleasure of having David "Storm" Manning to be our DJ and if you don't know who that is, he is the game day host and PA Announcer for the New Orleans Saints. So for the bridal party introductions, he introduced us like he does the New Orleans Saints. Being a Saints fan that made my day and was very excited!! Definitely recommend!!

Kevin was our DJ. He called us the week before our wedding to confirm our preferences and made sure all of our selections were available. We gave him a list of songs we liked and told him to mix it up; I’m SO happy we let him take the lead. His mix of songs was incredible. The entire party was on their feet and never sat down ALL NIGHT. Even the event staff joined us to enjoy the fun.
Hire Omega and ask for Kevin. He will make every penny you spend on DJ services worth it.

My guests couldn't stop raving about the music, saying it fit the vibe perfectly and kept everyone on the floor. I can't thank this amazing DJ enough.

Before finding Omega Sound & Entertainment there was a lot of research, unimpressive conversations and defeating price quotes. All that changed once I reached out and talked to Dav...
id. I was immediately impressed with all of the employees’ backgrounds — but I happened to be able to book David since our wedding was a year away.
Planning:
David listens to what you want, asks for clarity on anything he’s not sure on and asks you questions you may not have thought of. He gets that you may want to do something “dramatic” during your wedding/reception and encourages you to have fun with it. I wanted some very unique songs played for my ceremony processional and all I had to do was provide him with the iTunes link or YouTube link to the music. Many songs are already in the song bank and you can request any that are not. The planning suite may looks a little like it was born from the AOL-dial up era (oh, the nostalgia) but it is fully functional, easy to use and you are able to provide all the information the DJ will need to know in one place. Don’t be so judgey about it — the pizzazz will come when it’s time for your wedding/event.
Day Of:
Hell has officially frozen over. Not only did I get married, I had planned 2 major surprises for my husband and kept the secrets for 16 months (which about killed me more than the wedding planning). David was a CHAMP with helping me pull them off without a hitch (a lip syncing and second father daughter dance). We aren’t huge dancers and it was a day time wedding, but somehow David still had people on the dance floor!
I couldn’t be happier and strongly recommend.

He kept our friends and family on the dance floor for most of the night, even on a HOT 90-degree summer night in New Orleans! Our only critique was that we did spend a lot of time filling in the online digital song request list ahead of the wedding and felt like some of our music selections, especially those less traditional choices like Afrobeats, weren't played as much as we'd hoped. That said, he truly was wonderful to work with and made sure to make our night super memorable on and off the dancefloor!

We hired David Storm and Omega Sound & Entertainment for our wedding and he did not disappoint. David was extremely helpful through the pre-wedding phase; answering questions in a...
timely manner, sending instructions on how to navigate their website (which is an awesome one stop show for forms, music requests, and payments), and following up before the wedding to make sure everything was in order.
On the day of the wedding, David was organized, timely, professional, and a truly great DJ. During there reception, there was non-stop dancing (one thing we were worried about beforehand, having gone to weddings where not many people danced) but he kept everyone engaged and entertained. His crowd interaction was second to none. One thing I heard the most after the wedding was how much fun people had with many people saying it was an amazing party (really and truthfully in part to David). He also ensured that everything (from the formal dances to the cake cutting to the grand sendoff) ran smoothly during the reception which was greatly appreciated.
Before the wedding, I suggested him to my friends who are getting married in April 2022 (only having talked to him over the phone at the time). After our wedding, they told me how excited they were to have him DJ their wedding and thanked me for the recommendation.
David and Omega Sound & Entertainment are a cut above and you will not be disappointed! I will certainly be hiring them for my next event!
