bsolutely blew us away. They managed our timeline of events so seamlessly and kept the dance floor full the entire night. On top of that, the up lighting, the powerpoint with our photos, and their energy were an incredible addition to our wedding in upstate NY. Would highly recommend and so many guests raved about them afterwards.

t. In the week leading up to our wedding, we had our final meeting and it eased our nerves so much. You could tell they just understood our vision and boy did they nail it on the big day!!! What a classy yet extremely fun and energetic wedding we had. We received so many compliments about how our dance floor was packed the whole time. The Photo Booth provided by them was also such a hit!
All in all, the best part was how we could trust them both to play songs we requested but also really read the room. Each song blended into the next. I think that is what you really want to find in a DJ.
Five stars all the way! Don’t think twice! Book them!!
Saratoga Sound absolutely nailed it!! They had everybody, from every generation, up on the dance floor. The dance floor was crowded from start to finish. It was the highlight of ou...
r wedding night. Karen and Paul also sang acoustic songs during the cocktail hour; which we are still receiving compliments about😊 Working with them was easy and the communication was excellent. It was the least stressful part of the wedding planning. Saratoga Sound is professional and knows what they’re doing. I would 100% recommend!!
Karen and Paul were amazing at our 10/10/25 wedding. We originally met them at a wedding expo and right from the start they were very personable. We loved their energy through the ...
whole planning process. They were so flexible with meeting with us through video calls, we booked them while we were on our vacation out of state. For anyone looking to book with them, trust their process and experience. The live music Karen and Paul performed during our cocktail hour was a nice touch. Our dancefloor was lively all night and our guests had a great time. They provided everything we hoped for on our big day and were fantastic to work with.
This was the first time either of us had hired or closely worked with a DJ, and the experience was seamless! In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding weekend Karen and Pau...
l were exceptionally responsive via email, were helpful with planning out the music/timeline preferences, and gave us piece of mind with their professionalism and experience. Their professionalism and support continued into the wedding day, where they were simultaneously able to keep the energy and festivity going while making sure that things like toasts/speeches/special dances went off without a hitch-- we felt taken care of and celebrated, and definitely felt like we were in good hands. We continue to hear from our guests how much fun they had and how effortless the evening seemed, and we'd highly recommend Saratoga Sound to anyone planning their wedding or event!

ng ran smoothly and keeping the party going. We made a list of must, good, and do not plays, and they fully listened to our preferences while also using their expertise to add in their own ideas for great songs. We loved their acoustic ceremony and cocktail hour. We would 100% recommend working with them!
Here’s the punchline — Karen and Paul are the ultimate “dream team” of Saratoga Sound DJ & Acoustic. During the process leading up to our wedding- they were kind, personable, infor...
mative, very responsive, flexible, and most importantly—true professionals with wonderful talent. Their live acoustic performance during our ceremony, made our precious moment that much more memorable. Not to mention that the playlist at our reception exceeded our expectations! They played banger after banger and we received many compliments from guests throughout the night. To be frank, I’ve never seen a dance floor so full at a wedding, thanks to these two. We appreciate you both for helping us achieve the best day of our lives! Cheers. Xoxo -Jess & TJ
P.s. the digital photo booth was SO worth it
Karen and Paul were awesome to work with!! They were organized, fun, and timely! We highly recommend them!!

ust haves” at the most perfect times. They were very professional, responded in a timely manner to all of our questions/concerns, and they were really accommodating to our time schedule. They were so sweet and fun to work with, and they made everything so easy for us. They are very reasonably priced, especially considering the wonderful service we received. We also utilized their photo booth, and they had the best props! All of our guests loved it, and it gave us some of the best memories of the night. We cannot recommend them enough. Absolutely amazing!!!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Karen and Paul from Saratoga Sound for our wedding, and they were nothing short of fantastic! From the very beginning, they were incred...
ibly responsive, always quick to answer questions and offer helpful suggestions. Their thoughtful approach to planning made us feel completely at ease, and they truly listened to our vision for the day. We had an excellent vidoe call with Karen and Paul to discuss our music taste, and they kept to our suggested playlist while also incorporating similar music during the wedding reception! Two things stood out most, first was how collaborative they were—working seamlessly with us and our venue to ensure everything ran smoothly. The music was spot on, the energy was perfect, and our guests had an amazing time on the dance floor. Second, was our favorite aspect of working with Karen and Paul - they not only provided great "DJ" services, but they played beautiful live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour that everyone loved and truly made the day that much more special! On top of all that, they were a tremendous value for the cost. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would highly recommend Karen and Paul to anyone looking for a professional, personable, and talented DJ team!
Nothing but 5/5 stars for Karen and Paul. They are very easy to work with, down to earth, and made our day so special. The planning was a lot of fun with them and made it less stre...
ssful. We had a lot of input for the music played during our reception and the performance for the ceremony was magical. We found it easy to stay within budget and there was never any pressure to do anything we didn’t want. My wife and I absolutely recommend everyone to book with them.
10/10 recommend! Karen and Paul performed both acoustic during our cocktail hour and MC/DJ’d our reception, and everything was perfect. They were willing to travel to Connecticut...
which we thought was a long shot but we are so grateful they said “yes!”. They were so sweet and accommodated all of our special requests and timeline perfectly. Would 100% recommend. They also are available in Florida during winter months so would absolutely consider them if you are planning an event there!!
Saratoga sound was so accommodating, talented, professional, and organized! They were able to perform my ceremony song requests very well even though they were songs that they had ...
not performed before. They kept the party going on the dance floor the entire wedding and switched the music up depending on the vibes however also stayed true to our playlist! I even asked them to play my family members first dance songs throughout the night and they did that and my guests recognized their songs! During our ceremony and cocktail hour they played acoustic live and my guests felt that it really added to the drama and set the tone for the ceremony, just so beautiful!!! They reviewed every detail with you before hand to ensure everything runs smooth and is done how you wanted it. If you are considering booking with them I would highly recommend them!
Karen and Paul are wonderful to work with and extremely knowledgeable about their profession. We came to them with our half-baked ideas and playlists in the months before our weddi...
ng and they helped us iron out the details to make it possible. They communicated well, set up calls, and asked detailed questions to prompt our thought process.
Paul’s ability to cut up and mix songs was just what we were looking for. Karen’s announcement skills and attention to detail seemed effortless. From setting up the ceremony with mics and sound service, to reception entrances, individual dances, and toasts, to the dinner and reception soundtracks - they knocked it out of the park.
They helped set the pace for the whole night and made it so we didn’t have to worry one bit. They picked the right songs to play at the right times (namely Pink Pony Club) and it’s a night we’ll never forget because of it. We would highly recommend them to anybody.
We had Karen and Paul at Saratoga Sound for our wedding this December. They were increidble! So responsive, helpful in answering my many questions, provided input to help me with s...
ome decisions. They DJ’d our ceremony and reception and provided acoustic music for our cocktail hour. We cannot say enough good things, everyone danced across all ages! They rolled with the flow for our ring bearer walking to the song and it taking the whole time or just a fraction of time. You will not be disappointed!
We used Saratoga Sound as our wedding DJ and we could not be happier. Karen and Paul was so easy to work with and made picking all those important songs out super stress free! They...
were able to use an obscure cover of a random song from the depths of YouTube for our first dance song which was so perfect and amazing, I can't thank them enough. we also added they new Photo booth to our package, the Pricing was incredible and our guests had so much fun taking all the photos! Additionally, Paul and Karen played nearly all of our requested songs! Our guests were on the dance floor the whole time!
They were so friendly and nice and if you need a DJ, Saratoga Sound are the people to hire!
The 100's of 5 stars reviews are there for a reason, they ROCKED our wedding. We wanted a heavy dancing wedding, and our guests danced for 2.5 hours strait thanks to the awesome pl...
aylist that they put together. Karen and Paul were absolutely amazing to work with. You will be able to tell very quickly that they really love to do this and are amazing at it. Paul has an amazing voice; my wife absolutely loved him singing over the rainbow to star our ceremony. Karen and Paul were incredibly easy to work with, very responsive on email, and we had a couple of phone calls to talk things through and they gave us some great suggestions to make our ceremony better!
When you have a wedding or big event there are a ton of things to do. Save yourself some time and hire them for the music, they are AWESOME! Last thing, definitely get the Photo Booth, peopled loved it! Thank you so much Karen and Paul!

rocess. Not only are Karen and Paul kind hearted people but they really care about each couple and making their day special. We had Karen and Paul play music as our guest were waiting in the ceremony space, we got so many compliments on how beautifully they played together. We highly recommend working with Karen and Paul if you're looking for a seamless, fun night that everyone will be talking about!
We could not have asked for better DJs for our special day!! Karen and Paul were especially responsive, accommodating of last minute requests (like playing a WWE walk out song for ...
the best man’s intro…), and most of all, a ton of fun. It is clear that they have such a vast collection, knowledge, and appreciation of music and they love what they do. Thank you for everything! :)

ce song to our liking and it was perfect! They are both so sweet and accommodating, we even sent some last minute requests the night before the wedding and they had no problem adjusting things. We had Karen and Paul play live during cocktail hour and all of our guests loved it. From start to finish, these two were amazing and I’m so glad we decided to have them at our wedding.
We are so glad that we chose Karen and Paul, Saratoga Sound, for our wedding! They were incredible DJs during the reception, but also handled so many things that I hadn’t even thou...
ght of, like mics during personal vows, and announcing us at dinner. Thanks to their professionalism and artistry, everything was seamless! We had chosen songs for processional/recessional/first dance, but weren’t sure exactly what we wanted played for the reception. They were able to take our direction and run with it, and were incredibly responsive to what the crowd wanted to hear--everyone danced all night long, and we have received many compliments about the music! Additionally, it is worth mentioning that both Karen and Paul are kindhearted, patient, and attentive. They were a special part of our wedding day, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is getting married in the area.
This team made our wedding so much fun. They also took a lot of planning stress from me. I really didn’t give them much information for how I wanted my wedding music and they reall...
y impressed me - it was like they had looked into my Spotify account! We did request for them to edit our first dance song to cut a middle section out and it was SEAMLESS. If you didn’t know the song already, you would have never known it was edited! I would highly recommend using this team for your event.
Our wedding was such an amazing day, thanks to Paul and Karen. They did a great job on all the music for the ceremony and reception, and the flow of everything felt so relaxed. Th...
ey were very professional to work with during the entire process, and when we provided song titles, Paul made sure to confirm which version we wanted since there are usually more than one. They were more than willing to accommodate a speech from the Father of the Groom at the last moment.
The photo booth was a huge hit - there are so many funny pictures that came out of it. The music the team picked was excellent - it was quiet enough during dinner to talk, and then great music to both dance to and just talk to after dinner. We will keep them in mind if we have any future events.
Very professional with great communication!!! Karen and Paul were everything we could have wanted for a DJ and then some. They worked very well with us and guests loved them. They ...
did a fantastic job at getting everyone dancing too. I loved that they played everything we wanted and then some. Music was really important to us, so I’m glad they made our vision come to life (with an affordable price tag too!) thank you guys!!!

. We chose the option of having them play live music during our guests arrival, ceremony and cocktail hour and then switch over to DJing for the reception. The combination was perfect! The dance floor was packed from start to finish and all our guests raved about how fun the wedding was. The uplighting the my added to our venue, the personalized name display on their set up and attention to detail really elevated the whole experience for all. We also included their Photo Booth- which was so fun. Definitely glad we added it on. Our guests loved that the photos could be instantly sent to them and that they had access to all the photos afterwards. We honestly couldn’t recommend Saratoga Sound more- 10/10 ⭐️
We had the best experience working with Karen and Paul from Saratoga Sound! They fully understood our vision and special requests. It was obvious during our interactions that they ...

o it, we just said "do your thing" and I am THRILLED to report that was the best decision ever. They got the crowd going, kept them going, and slowed it down at just the right spots. We got so many compliments on them from all our guests. If you're wavering, don't. Hire them now.

it some of our ceremony / intro songs to avoid the more monotonous sections. They had our dance floor packed all night, people were even dancing on the carpet around the floor - not a single person was in their seat and only few stepped outside to cool down. Karen even went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I had whatever drinks we needed whenever we needed them. They're so loving and it shows through every meeting and every moment throughout the day. We're so bummed we didn't get to hear their acoustic performance during cocktail hour but all our guests were raving about them! Thank you so much Karen and Paul for making our day so fun and stress free!!

e had due to being out of country. They provided an hour of acoustic during cocktail hour and DJ services for the reception dinner. It was the perfect combination and we had guests raving throughout. My wife and I were also surprised by a special custom song written by my mom and acoustically performed by Paul. This level of service is really above and beyond what we could have asked for. We also had the pleasure of being their first wedding to feature their new AV system, designed with custom graphics, lyrics, and acted as a stunning centerpiece to the dance floor. All in all we couldn’t be happier and would recommend them to anyone looking for a phenomenal mixed DJ / Acoustic experience! Thank you again -A&E
