en we came up for our bridal shower, and the attention to detail with the song choices and making sure it was the right version was out of this world.
Our entire day was filled with the best music & there were so many people out on the dance floor. They do such an amazing job not only being DJs but also MCs.
If you don't know who to choose, let this be your sign to pick them. They are an absolute staple to any kind of event
Joe & his team at Russell Sound Lab literally saved the day! Due to some unforeseen circumstances with another DJ… we were left without entertainment days before our wedding. We fo...
und Joe was available again from a last minute cancellation through family friends. Within 2 days, Joe met with us and made us feel SO taken care of! He is a consummate professional and his extensive experience is obvious. He paid so much attention to detail and made sure every special song, introduction, and overall playlist fit our exact needs. His team even worked as stand-in “coordinators” for the day making sure we were all on schedule and checking in with us constantly! The communication is unmatched. They made our day so fun, carefree, and did it with joy. Cannot recommend Joe & RSL enough!
Joe was our DJ for our wedding on 03/15/2024 at the DoubleTree Hotel and he did an amazing job! We were referred to him by my boss who used him for their wedding over 20 years ago ...
and it goes to show why he’s still in business. He’s very detailed and helps you build your timeline for the reception and gives his input/opinion when needed. His pricing I thought was very reasonable and affordable and even offered uplighting which truly changes the scenery of your venue and makes it so fun! Thank you Joe for making our wedding event better than we could’ve imagined!

for this and really took the time to help our vision for our wedding come to life. I cannot recommend him more. I will be telling all my family and friends who get married in the future to go through him!
My husband and I got married on 2/18/23. Let me tell you. I still have people messaging me about how awesome the music was.. How so much of the music were versions of newer song...
s they’ve never heard done that way before. How breathtaking the first dance with the fog was. How beautiful his booth was. The crystal clear sound. The list goes on!!! He is one of the best DJs there is and we were so happy to have him a part of our big day. Highly recommend. Everything is totally worth it. He timed me walking down the aisle to Metallica perfectly, the first kiss. Everything was perfect and right on point. Everyone enjoyed dancing all night including the kids who stole the show with their awesome requests that I let them do! And before I forget. The photo booth…. WAS A HIT! Everyone enjoyed it and we have a huge book of photo strips to prove it! Again, highly recommend. Book him! You won’t regret it. I’ll post photos up once I get them back from photographer. I specifically requested multiple pictures of the booth and everything because of how beautiful it was!
Our wedding was a party and our guests had a blast because of Joe! He is very professional and joyful and confident with running the reception. We were very happy with our day!

All of our guests had a blast and everyone knows the music is one of the most important parts of the wedding. Joe Russell’s employees were also great! They helped keep the reception on schedule and keep things moving. Huge thanks to Joe Russell Sound lab! Everything was perfect!

page which was so helpful. Music was perfect and exactly what we wanted!
Absolutely amazing DJ. Best choice ever. He was so easy to work and very responsive to emails and texts. We had so much fun with him especially during the shoe game. ❤️❤️

eception. We met before hand to walk through the songs wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I highly recommend the uplighting as well. It adds a wonderful touch to any venue.
Darren was such an incredible DJ! We gave him a list of songs and he crafted the perfect playlist. There was ALWAYS a crowd on the dance floor. We could not be happier!
Russell Sound Lab was the DJ service we chose for our wedding this past June, and they did such an amazing job! Joe did a great job of all of the prep work before hand and provided...
us with a lot of valuable guidance as far as the timeline, the song list, and the lighting for our reception. He spent a lot of time with us planning the details of our day and how the night was going to go. Some thing I loved particularly about Russell Sound Lab is that they are very upfront with their pricing and packages. We also had them do up lighting for our reception and it looked amazing. It completely set the mood for the night and changed the tone of our reception in the most wonderful way. Bruce was our DJ in charge of the music for the night and he did a fantastic job. He was a great MC with an awesome personality, was very accommodating to requests (we specified that we wanted to take requests), and modified the music anytime I asked. Our dance floor was packed all the way up until midnight and we had a wedding reception for the books. You can’t go wrong with this company!
Russell Sound Lab Inc is the best in the business! Joe Russell has now DJed my wedding and my sister's wedding and he continues to deliver. We had a backyard wedding and Joe and ...
his Son went above and beyond in delivering an outstanding party. Joe worked around many difficult challenges involving getting the equipment brought back to the yard, a challenging set up environment and dealing with the weather. During the entire process, Joe listened to our wants/needs and clearly took detailed notes because everything we requested from lighting to song choices were fulfilled 100%. His wedding planning documents were perfect for keeping up aligned and Joe was available at a moment's notice to make edits/changes. Joe and his Son got there early, made sure everything worked and every roadblock that was presented itself was expertly dealt with and succeeded. Joe has a great stage presence and knows how to read the room. Our wedding was thrown off schedule a bit during the dinner but with constant communication with Joe and our planner, it all appeared seamless. We utilized the uplighting and cold spark shower that Joe offers and I would highly recommend adding them to your wedding. We cannot thank Joe enough for providing the wedding reception of our dreams. Even our music snob friends loved the playlist! Joe and his Son are some of the hardest working people in the industry and booking Russell Sound Lab is a must for your next event!
We hired Joe and his team for our 05/23/2021 wedding.
Joe was organized and easy to work with. We loved that he provided old school service that included meeting in person initial...
ly and for our final run through and provided paper copies.
But don’t worry if you prefer online I believe he accommodates that as well.
Unfortunately we lost our mic/audio during our ceremony but all of our music played beautifully and despite having a smaller wedding of only 54 people the DJ kept everyone dancing till the end of the night.
Additionally we almost didn’t go with the recommended uplighting and are very happy that Joe encouraged it, it was a nice touch and added to our decor perfectly.
We recommend Russell Sound Lab and send a big thank you to Joe and his team.

mmend them enough! Truly they were amazing, went above and beyond to make sure everything was organized and done specifically how we needed it! Consulting with Joe Russell about the wedding and reception was the most fun I’ve ever had, while planning our wedding. He was organized, professional and a fantastic communicator, all while having fun and cracking jokes! For our wedding the DJ was Mike, and Darren did our photo booth! Everything turned out beautifully, my husband and I couldn’t be happier. I swear to you, they all go above and beyond for their clients! Truly an amazing company 10/10 hands down best DJ you’ll ever find!
Russell Sound Lab did a great job at our daughter's wedding. Their planning made the night go smoothly and everyone had fun.
Using Russell Sound Lab for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made and I could not be happier with the service we received. Joe is all around a wonderful guy. He was pro...
fessional, organized, and easy to work with. I had so many issues with my wedding venue and other wedding vendors I used and it was a relief to work with Joe who was so confident and dependable. He was knowledgable about our venue and how it operated which allowed him to make valuable suggestions on other vendors we could use and how to make the space look it's best. Joe and his team were absolutely amazing and helped our wedding run smoothly and efficiently. The dance floor was packed the entire night and the music selection was amazing. He took into account our personal suggestions and song requests while also playing a good range of music for everyone. My husband and I were very impressed by some of the extra touches they added, including a personalized CD at the end of the night with all of our wedding songs.
My husband and I cannot recommend Russell Sound Lab enough!

uld go smoothly and it for sure did ! They let me submit a list of songs that I wanted to be included throughout the night but also used their own and let me tell you..... they did not disappoint. We had people of all ages at our wedding and there was not a single person sitting in their seats! Everyone was on the dance floor and enjoying themselves so much that we paid for them to stay an extra hour !! They were on top of making sure that we kept everything on time. They were super helpful with suggestions and advice ! I was so nervous and they put my mind at ease! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them for any event, especially a wedding ! The dj was a very important part to our day and they exceeded our expectations. Very professional, easy to work with and they got the crowd going!!
Joe Russell and his crew did a fabulous job at my wedding! They had beautiful up-lighting filling the room and for our first dance they had a machine with dry ice that made it look...
as if we were dancing in the clouds. I couldn’t have been more pleased with how professional and kind they all were! There was never a dull moment on the dance floor with their amazing music selection and everything ran smoothly. They helped to create a truly magical experience!
Joe did an awesome job!! He kept the music going and played the right songs to keep the dancing and fun going. He us professional and reasonable.
No regrets whatsoever! Joe is so easy to work with and handled all of my last minute changes with ease and answered all of my questions. Our DJ ended up being Mike and he was great...
too! He kept us in the loop all night, made sure we stayed on track time wise, and played pretty much every song we requested while also playing songs our guests requested. Everything went smoothly and I was so happy with how the night went! We also had him play our ceremony music which was also perfect. We had uplifting for the reception too which really added to the atmosphere. Book them and you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again guys!
The DJ provided by Russell Sound Lab was awesome! He was able to keep people dancing out on the dance floor and kept the reception lively the entire night!

We liked the lighting especially!
We wish they could’ve played one last song to end the night.
Awesome Djs! Before the wedding, we went through the list of any songs that we wanted, as well as any song that we did not want to hear! RSL played the actual song for us ahead of ...
time to make sure we had the right versions. They also offered a very detailed/organized layout of the reception. At the reception, RSL kept the party going and interacted so well with our family and friends. I would highly recommend!
Kept people dancing all night! Very professional

Joe Russell and his team did such an amazing job at our wedding and reception - I can't even give them enough stars and compliments!!
Joe was so easy to work with! His profession...
alism and experience were so evident throughout the whole evening!
My husband and I were clueless about what to ask for and expect when it comes to DJ's and their services. Joe held our hand the whole way explaining options, etc. He listened to our requests and put together a killer playlist. He cared about the subtle details and showed that he wanted to make our experience unique.
Since he also provided our ceremony music, these details and timing were very important and I was amazed at how it all came together so well.
He is the best of the best in my book and should the need ever arise - I would hire him again!
Joe and his staff are awesome! Everyone we interacted with in the company was unbelievably professional and helpful. I would highly recommend the business.
We had Mike and Darren for our wedding on October 20th. They were a dream to work with. Everything went so smoothly, even when we had to change our ceremony from outside to indoors...
at the last minute. We had the uplighting, photo booth (which I highly recommend getting), & monogram also added to our package. It set the mood for the entire night. Mike kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night and kept everything on track. Even when my bridesmaids insisted they sing towards the end. Lol Everyone had an amazing time and so many compliments towards the both of them. They were both so professional. I am so happy with our decision, and whoever is looking for a DJ for their next event, Russell Sound Lab is the place to go. Thank you for making our wedding a day we will never forget !
Working with Russell sound lab was amazing!!! Our DJ did such a good job, I even asked him to stay later than originally planned and he did with no issues. He played all of the mus...
ic we wanted and took requests on our day!! Definitely book with them you won't be disappointed!! Thank you so much again!
Thank you for making our reception the best party we have ever been to! We had so many compliments afterward about how great the venue looked and how much fun the reception was. ...
Many people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I was on the fence about the uplighting, but I’m so glad we did it - the Onesto looked even more beautiful! Joe took the time to meet with me and go over my very detailed playlist, and even took time to download more obscure songs I wanted. Joe worked well with all of our vendors too, making the day go seemlessly. The video recordings of our ceremony and reception were so wonderful, and Joe got them to us within days (Thanksgiving week!) because he knew we lived out of state. A fantastic choice for a DJ! Thank you! -Alysa and Blake
I absolutely loved everything about working with Joe and Russell Sound Lab! Our night was more than we could have dreamed of. The flow of the evening was run so smoothly and the...
uplighting and photo booth were so fun! We still had a full dance floor when the night was supposed to end and they stayed and kept the party going for another hour for us! You guys rock I wish I could throw another reception just have you guys dj for me! Thanks guys!

ore than accomodating. The music was perfect. They played everything we wanted and we were all dancing the entire time. I would highly reccomend them for any event and I know I will use them in the future!
Joe Russell has an amazing business set up with his DJ company. We were drawn to him for the price and his multitude of equipment and DJ backups for day of emergencies. We quickly ...
learned that he was eager to please and willing to completely customize everything to our needs as well! A few weeks before the wedding we met and planned out all of the music to be played using his planner. It was very helpful and he was willing to download any music we requested to ensure we had the perfect soundtrack for our big day! Our DJ for the day was wonderful, playing everything that my husband and I had planned along with requests from the guests. They definitely kept the party going until last call!
