We chose Shannon McKinnon from ShanSound Entertainment to be the DJ for our wedding reception. Overall, our experience with Shannon was positive.

t the planning process was excellent. He was responsive and helpful, making it easy to coordinate the details of our event. The app he uses to organize the timeline and music preferences was particularly useful and user-friendly, which we appreciated.
However, a key piece of advice is to make sure to submit your preferences on the app early. We waited until a week or two before the wedding, and in hindsight, we wish we hadn't. A majority of our "must play" songs never made the cut, which was quite disappointing. I realized that if we had submitted our requests earlier, this might have been avoided.
On the day of the wedding, Shannon presented himself professionally and had a great presence. He interacted well with our guests and managed the flow of announcements and music transitions smoothly. One standout moment was when Shannon took the time to chat with our grandparents before the reception started. Learning about their history together, he gave them a thoughtful shoutout during his announcements and invited them to open the dance floor, which was a nice touch that we all appreciated.
In conclusion, Shannon McKinnon of ShanSound Entertainment provided a solid service for our wedding reception. His professionalism, good communication, and personal touches were highlights of our experience. We would recommend Shannon to others looking for a reliable DJ for their event. Just remember to submit your music preferences early to ensure your top choices are included.

s or too knee-deep in other wedding-planning items. The music was great; he seemed to have a good pulse on the crowd (25 people), when to crank out a fan favorite and when to keep things lighter/smoother. He got my awkward, traditional family dancing and having a grand ol' time. (And us too!)
Shannon was wonderful to work with. Before the wedding he answered my emails in a timely manner and gave us a lot of great information. The forms he asked us to fill out to find ...
our music preferences were thorough. He arrived the day of the wedding on time and was set up and ready to go with time to spare. Ceremony songs were exactly what we asked for with good sound quality and volume (outdoor ceremony). He nailed the reception! During dinner we wanted classical/easy listening music, but since my husband's favorite band is Metallica I had asked Shannon if there was any way to work heavy metal in with classical. I thought it would be impossible but he found acoustic versions of Metallica's big hits and mixed them in seamlessly; my husband was delighted and I don't think the older guests (70+) even noticed that it wasn't "classical" music. We had told Shannon that we wanted people to dance and enjoy themselves and they did; he mixed some standard party dance music in that pleased the "younger" crowd (30's) and he catered to our elder guests with Tony Bennett and other artists they were familiar with. Shannon's pricing is extremely competitive compared to what I was quoted from other DJ's in the Raleigh area, and he was worth every penny.
