A great experience & Doug is super professional. Looking back on our day, one of my favorite parts was he played our entrance song again during open dance & it was a chance to experience that moment again with my husband. Would book again

Our DJ was Doug Bermick. He has a great radio DJ voice and was very friendly and seemed very organized whenever we spoke with him. He had us make a whole playlist for him to play during our appetizers and our wedding reception. But we had to ask him multiple times to change the music as he wasn't playing the music we had discussed or our playlist we spent hours creating for him. We also requested that whatever song he plays that it be the clean version, but unfortunately we had a few upset guests as there were explicit versions of some of these songs playing. He also would announce the upcoming reception schedule like a play by play and we also had to ask him multiple times not to do that as due to time constraints we had to cut some things that were previously planned. He did not do well with change on the fly. He also went over to my parents and asked for payment in the middle of the reception, even though the night and his DJ job was not over.

Thanks for your feedback, sorry that we didn’t meet your expectations! However, we would l...
ike to clarify a few things. First, your husband tipped us, indicating that he was satisfied with our services. Additionally, other attendees at your wedding have also booked our services.
Regarding the music played at your event, you never asked us to change the music multiple times. We gladly played as many of your requests as possible and also fulfilled the audience's requests. We have a digital record on our laptops of all the songs that we played at your wedding, which confirms that we only played the clean versions of your requested songs. However, we must note that playing the clean version of a song does not ensure that some guests on the dance floor will not sing the original explicit lyrics of a song.
As your wedding was running 70 minutes behind schedule, I deleted some activities from your itinerary to save time. We did this only after checking with you to see if you still wanted to do everything. We kept your guests informed of the activities so that they could enjoy your wedding to the fullest. Moreover, we helped your family and friends to navigate three different areas of your wedding venue. We would also like to point out that you only paid for the sound systems for two areas (your ceremony and reception), but 30 minutes before your ceremony, you requested an additional sound system for the appetizer and cocktail hour, which we set up free of charge!
Finally, we would like to clarify that the contract you signed (which you have a copy of) clearly states that the final payment is due within the first hour of the event. Most of our clients pay the balance due within the first few minutes of an event, without us asking. We only requested payment from you at 10:30 pm, which was five hours after the start of your ceremony. We apologize if this caused you any inconvenience.

Doug was the DJ and Masters of Ceremonies for our 50th Wedding Anniversary this past August of 2023. Doug followed all our wishes and desires for the event and communicated expertly with us beforehand so that everything would flow as planned and everything did. I highly recommend Doug to everyone and are looking forward to using Doug again for our DJ needs. He is a professional and truly desires to make your celebration one that you will totally enjoy as you leave all the details to him.

Doug was an absolute gem at our wedding! Leading up to our wedding day, he was thorough in his planning such as going through pronunciations of names of the wedding party and guests with great attention to detail. Doug catered to the wedding party and our parents by getting drinks for us and checking in with us throughout the night for our satisfaction and needs. So many of our guests commented on the quality work and great energy of Doug stating that he kept the dance floor packed with his music selection. Doug created the fun and warm atmosphere we were looking for on our wedding night and we could not be happier with the quality work he provided. We would highly recommend Doug and Professional Sounds for DJ services if you are looking for high quality services. Thank you so much Doug!!!

Doug is the best! He helped us to much with the overall timing of our reception, helped us incorporate things that we wanted to do, and gave us ideas of what we could do instead for things that we didn’t want. He was the single most helpful person that helped us with the overall flow of the night. He was incredibly responsive to what our crowd wanted, and definitely kept things lively all night. We couldn’t ask for a better person for the role.

Our dancefloor was packed all night, played a great variety so every one of our guests had a song they could dance to! He was so great at ensuring everyone’s names were pronounced properly, and even came up to my husband and I during the reception to see if we needed drinks or anything! We got soooo many compliments from the time we entered our cocktail hour to days after our wedding about how professional and awesome Doug was!! I can’t recommend him enough, and I’ll be sure to let everyone I know who needs a dj to use professional sounds! Thanks again doug!!!

Doug did a great job communicating up to the day of the event and an even better job juggling the many last minute changes we had the day of our wedding. Just days before the wedding he made sure a prerecorded speech for someone who couldn’t attend could be played over his sound system for us. Extremely professional and went above and beyond checking on the head table during the event and making sure we had everything that we needed. Completely satisfied.

Doug was born to be an amazing DJ! He made our wedding so special and the night flowed flawlessly. He was so sweet and always made sure we were taken care of with food and drinks. He responded to our song requests well and kept the party going the whole night.

He checked in on us and made sure everything we going to be perfect. We definitely recommend Professional Sounds!

Professional Sounds was awesome. I had to plan my wedding from another state and they totally worked with me. I always felt super important to them. Dave was friendly and talked me through everything I needed to consider and what songs I needed to pick out.
The DJ at the wedding did a great job reading the crowd and playing music that kept everyone dancing. I love dancing so that was really important that my guests wanted to dance too. Our DJ kept bringing me and my husband fresh drinks, which was awesome!
I really enjoyed working with Professional Sounds. They were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Would recommend and book again. The reception went so well, the MCee was great at keeping everyone on time, keeping people on the floor, absolutely perfect. The planning process with them is easy as they make sure they have everything squared away with you (rather than you trying to scramble to make sure they are on the same page as you)!
