About this vendor
The most important decision you will make for your wedding besides picking the person you're going to be with for the rest of your life is the food and the DJ. There are 2 types of weddings that are “unforgettable”. Those that are really, really good, and the ones that are really, really bad. So what makes a wedding really good? It's having the ability to know when to not talk too much on a microphone. Knowing the right song to play, how long to play it, and what song to follow it up with. Understanding volume control so that your guests are able to enjoy each other’s conversations while others are still able to feel the energy and fun on the dance floor. Knowing how to incorporate the latest in lighting, photo booths, and special effects to create an atmosphere that your guests have never seen before. So the first thing we like to ask is, how do you want your wedding to stand out?

Anthony and all Sound Active Events team were the heartbeat of our wedding reception. From our very first call, Anthony was so warm, responsive, and very invested in making our nig...
ht feel like us, he was awesome! Even down to learning our Turkish must-play songs and making sure every one side of our family could enjoy that part! But after the wedding, even all my American friends were asking about the DJ team because all songs including few Turkish hits made EVERYONE dance all night! On the night itself, the energy was unbelievable: perfect song transitions, incredible reads on the crowd, and a dance floor that never emptied. We're still rewatching videos our friends took just to relive it. We were also so lucky enough to be Sound Active's 1000th event! They had amazing lights, gobo, photobooth! Could not recommend Anthony and Sound Active Events more highly. Look no further, the best DJ and Entertainment experience ever!!! I really mean it!
Anthony was really easy to work with leading up to the event. The planning can be intimidating, but they use a helpful portal to plan out every detail. When the night came, we had ...
a blast, everything ran super smoothly, and multiple people came up to tell us how go the DJ was. Highly recommend!
We used Sound Active Events for our wedding and they couldn’t have been better! The guys knew how to keep the party going and played all the best music. They were easy to work with...
and we had multiple meetings with them to ensure our special day ran smoothly! We rented a Photo Booth through them that our guests loved. We also got the cold sparks from them that made for the best photos. DJ Eric and Anthony made our day perfect.
Erik was our wedding DJ and Anthony was our emcee. In the months leading up to the wedding, Anthony was very communicative and responded right away. We had some unconventional requ...
ests in terms of the schedule/flow, and they were all accommodated. Erik did an awesome job with our crowd. My husband’s family is Haitian and mine is Indian. Erik mixed our favorite songs, Haitian music, Indian music, and kept the energy up the whole time. Our wedding was huge (300+ people) and Anthony did a great job controlling the crowd and getting people to sit/watch/follow when they needed to. We had a great time working with Sound Active Events.
Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without the incredible DJ and MC services from Sound Active Events! From start to finish, they did an absolutely phenomenal job. What truly ...
stood out was their ability to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long!
My now husband and I have completely different tastes in music, which we were a little concerned about. However, Anthony, handled this with absolute ease and professionalism. He seamlessly blended genres and accommodated both of our wants perfectly, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. He was incredibly professional throughout the entire process, working closely with us beforehand to understand our preferences and the overall vibe we wanted for the reception.
If you're looking for a DJ and MC who are not only talented and professional but also know how to keep a party going and cater to diverse musical tastes, look no further than Sound Active Events! They were a huge part of what made our wedding reception so much fun and memorable. We highly recommend them!
Sound Active Events was a great choice for my wedding and I highly recommend using them. DJ Anthony was a very good DJ and kept us and our friends dancing all night. We even had on...
e of our DJ friends tell us how impressed he was with the DJing. Anthony was also very pleasant to deal with and organized. The form to fill out before the event is very long and thorough, which we appreciated and felt that there were no surprises. Overall, it was an amazing time and they did a great job with the entire wedding, from the ceremony to the party.
Choosing Sound Active Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We cannot express enough how incredible the experience was, thanks to DJ Eric K and Jason. From ...
start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure our special day was nothing short of perfect. The music selection was spot on, effortlessly blending our favorite tunes with crowd-pleasers that kept everyone PACKED on the dance floor all night long. Their ability to read the room and adapt the playlist accordingly was remarkable, ensuring that the energy remained high and the atmosphere electric throughout the entire celebration. Many guests raved to us about how great the music was and often still talk about how much they enjoyed our wedding; to which we owe many thanks to DJ Eric K and Jason for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable for us as well as our guests. We cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone in need of top-notch entertainment for their special event. Thank you, Sound Active Events, for helping to make our wedding day the incredible celebration that it was!

e floor all night and could’ve had us up there for 3 more hours! Every single song he played was a hit!! One of if not the greatest addition to our wedding day!!!
Anthony was easy to work with, adapted to changes occurring the day of my wedding easily and seamlessly, and my dance floor was packed the entire night (overflowing, actually!) We ...
also added on the photobooth which was a huge hit. The whole team was so fun to work with and created the party atmosphere we wanted. Def recommend!
My wife and I were pleased with the meticulous approach that Anthony applied to our wedding. Using his thorough forms, we appreciated the chance to highlight our favorite hits and ...
styles and to outline any and all special musical moments during the celebration. While collaborating with us on calls and during the big day, he always remained upbeat and energetic. Our reception proved a pleasant surprise, for we heard some of the songs we requested as well as many adjacent to our preferences that brought us back to our childhoods and beyond. Finally, Anthony used software to remove the lyrics from a song we chose for our ceremony. The quality was so smooth, and it was timed just perfectly to my wife’s entrance, that the moment took my breath away while I was standing at the altar. Thank you, Anthony!
We couldn't have imagined our wedding night without SAE. Once booking with them, they were so organized with the timeline. Anthony was super easy to communicate and work with. He i...
s a great MC and gets the crowd going. DJ Eric had EVERYONE on the dance floor all night long. Kevin on the sax was the highlight of the night. Our guests raved about him all night and kept the party going. The photobooth attendant was so helpful and our guests really enjoyed him. I cannot talk highly enough about these guys. Our guests still talk about how much fun they had and how the music was on point. The best ever! Definitely recommend. 10/10.

Anthony and his team were truly amazing and helped make our wedding day exceptional! Anthony was quick to accommodate a meeting upon our first inquiry and we knew right away that h...
e would be the perfect addition for our big day! We also could not have been happier with the process after booking Anthony. His system makes everything so seamless. Not only does he go out of his way to make himself available for questions and support, his questionnaire prior to the wedding ensured the day would be a success. He listened and carried out our requests and was able to incorporate music that got everyone dancing! Our friends and family could not stop raving about how great everything was. In fact, our friends booked him for their wedding a few weeks later. With great music and entertainment being one of biggest our priorities, we were so glad to have booked Anthony and the Sound Active team!
Anthony and his team are AWESOME! Everyone at our wedding danced from the beginning to the last song, so I can’t thank him and his team enough to make our day so special and fun. T...
he sax player enhanced the experience and everyone loved it! We only got compliments about how amazing our DJ was.

l overbearing. We were able to enjoy dancing and being with our guests without feeling interrupted. He guided me through the reception in a way that was caring and mindful. He even gave me advice on how to throw the bouquet , which at the time I didn’t realize I needed. I would highly recommend Sound Active Events to anyone who wants great music and dancing all night long. Don’t hesitate to book and just trust them. They know what they’re doing!

Eric and Jason were the perfect team - we could not have asked for better! They kept the energy high all night and worked with us in the moment to ensure that everything stayed organized and on track. An added bonus - Eric managed to capture gorgeous photos of our ceremony and the reception while working. Highly recommend Sound Active Events - THANK YOU GUYS!

ween each course. They were very attentive and always checked when we were ready to start the next round of dancing.
I wish I lived in NY...I would hire him for everything!!!
5 stars all around!!
Sound Active Events did an amazing job! Our guests (and us!) were dancing until the bitter end. Really enjoyed the fun and smooth transitions between songs to keep the energy going...
. I also appreciated our DJ/MC team following through on the timeline and double checking especially if it seemed like the energy of the party was shifting (i.e. maybe what was envisioned in the timeline doesn't make as much sense in real life). Overall it was a fantastic experience.
Had an absolute blast! Enjoyed the music, candid photos and personal attention to detail. Everyone was dancing and had an amazing time.
I was very happy with my experience.
My wedding was this past Sunday! Sound active events were such a pleasure to work with!! After finding this vendor and giving them a call, I immediately clicked with the MC/DJ Anth...
ony. His team for my wedding came with a DJ, MC, and someone who also ran the photo booth. My family LOVES to party even on a Sunday! Sound active events understood the assignment!
My family/friends were dancing all night!!!!! they played my playlist perfectly during the ceremony and they were on point with reading the crowd. They were so friendly and attentive! Also, we were not sure if we were able to get a dry ice machine for the "cloud effect" being that this is so hard to find nowadays.
Anthony went ABOVE and BEYOND to find one the day before the wedding and had someone drive all the way out to NYC to get one. We are so grateful and thankful to have found you guys and I hope to work with you again in the future. Everyone keeps saying it was the absolute best wedding they have ever been to! We absolutely loved them!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THIS EPIC WEDDING! BOOK THEM NOW! YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS :)
We used Sound Active Events at our wedding earlier this month and cannot recommend then enough! We had our ceremony at a private home followed by a reception at a hotel, so going i...
nto wedding planning, I was a bit nervous to find a DJ who could accommodate both. When we found Anthony, he assured us it was no problem at all!
We loved going through their online portal and organizing all of our songs for each major part of the wedding/reception. The portal is super user friendly and kept us organized, while also giving us great recommendations for songs when we were stumped.
At the reception, Anthony did an amazing job of keeping everyone on the dance floor by playing songs that kept everyone singing along. We had so many friends and family tell us he was one of the best wedding DJs they had encountered and we could not agree more!
Would never have guessed that my favorite wedding vendor would be our DJ, but Sound Active Events was that good. They were super organized from start to finish. We went in knowing ...
they would do a good job and they blew it out of the water. We gave them a handful of songs for a sense of what music we like and they ran with it and curated a perfect vibe for the night. We have friends who don't usually dance who were on the dance floor all night long. Anthony and his team are incredible at what they do and are lovely to work with, do not hesitate to book them!
Sound Active Events did an amazing job at my wedding on 7.8.22. We couldn’t be happier with their service. They kept the party going and all my request were handled with care and ...
promptly. They did my now husbands dream entrance mashup. Which is everything to us. It was a great experience working with them and couldn’t have been happier with the way our wedding turned out. So many of my friends who are engaged and are planning their wedding are calling them for their special day.
My husband and I are very grateful to them. They went above and beyond and made sure we were happy throughout our entire wedding. The level of professionalism and care they showed is outstanding. Thank you so much!

house for our wedding. Our guests are currently unable to walk from dancing so much. They kept the crowd involved and entertained.
You would be hard pressed to find another company with this much talent for the price.
I can't thank them enough.
Did a great job! Thank you for going out of your way to make sure we had the fog for our first dance. We had a great night.
Amazing group that helped our wedding be a perfect event. The communication leading up to the celebration made me feel comfortable leaving my wedding in Anthony and his team's hand...
. Day of went smoothly and all the guests were raving about how much fun they had. Thanks to Anthony, Stefano and Chris for helping us have an unforgettable wedding!
Sound Active Events is amazing! We just had our wedding on March 26, 2022. Anthony made the entire process so easy and great. He responds to emails and calls quickly, gives great ...
advice, and is very friendly. We had the Wedding Bliss package with the singer. We added the drums and the saxophone player. Everyone was so talented and great! The dance floor was never empty and all of our guests are still raving about how wonderful the entertainment was! I would 100% hire Sound Active Events again. Anthony, thanks again!!

If you want your guests to talk about how much fun your wedding was days after your event- book Sound Active Events!! Anthony and his team were amazing to work with start to finish...
. Despite the craziness of Covid, Anthony took the time to speak with us multiple times to get all the details down which really showed the day of the wedding. I don't think there was one song played the the entire wedding didn't want to dance to. We even had couples come up to us after our wedding saying they wished they would have known about Sound Active before so they could have booked them. We also hired a saxophone player to our DJ which really amped up all the guests and added an extra something to the day! We cannot thank Anthony and his team enough for making our event so much fun!
We would highly recommend Anthony and his team! When you book with Sound Active you are provided a website log in to fill out forms and questionnaires regarding the event. Althou...
gh it seems a bit tedious, it is a super organized way for the team to get all the info they need to make sure the night goes off without a hitch. You can fill in bridal party info, choose what songs you do/don't to hear and even get suggestions for songs for different events throughout the night (such as suggestions for the cake cutting, etc.). What's even better is that you can listen to snippets of the songs right from the client.
The day of, Anthony and his team did a great job. We only gave a few suggestions as to what songs we wanted to hear and what kind of music we liked and Anthony did a masterful job of keeping the party going. We have been to weddings where no one was on the dance floor, but our wedding was certainly not one of them. Other than breaks for dinner and speeches, there was always a packed dance floor with people having a great time. We would recommend including the TVs in your package and providing a photo montage because our guests had a great time reminiscing throughout the night whenever a picture of them would come up. The GOBO was also a nice touch.
Do yourself a favor and book Sound Active Events for your wedding. You won't regret it.

tanding of the situation and made it super easy to adjust for our new wedding date. We got married this past weekend (8-7-21) and people are still telling us how great the DJ was -- many saying that it's the best DJ and MC they've ever had at a wedding. Anthony was our MC and checked in on my husband and I throughout the night in addition to keeping our guests entertained. We needed a DJ who would be able to read the crowd and keep them dancing -- our family and friends are always on the dance floor -- and Eric hit it out of the park. My husband's family is from Ghana and we wanted Afrobeats as well as a mix of other music. With a suggestion of one song, Eric understood the whole vibe we were going for and delivered with an amazing set for the whole night. I do not say this lightly that you cannot go wrong with Anthony and his crew for your wedding! (If you're searching for a boring time -- you definitely should look elsewhere.)
Anthony and his team are the most fantastic group of guys! I don’t even know how to begin to describe to all you newly weds out there why you should pick Anthony but for starters h...
e’s an utmost professional, was a total champ during the chaos that was 2020, helped us postpone our date and then made every single thing along the way simple and painless. Best of all we learned he is fantastic at vow renewal ceremonies. Thank you to the “Stefano Squared crew” too ;)
Sound Active Events made our wedding one for the books! We would definitely recommend them to anyone who is planning a future wedding. My husband & I really wanted a live musician ...
for our ceremony so we decided on a harp and Nina was simply AMAZING at every song she played on the harp. She was definitely one of my favorite parts of our wedding. Our MC Jason and our DJ Eric were both PHENOMENAL! Our dance floor was bumping all night - up until the very last song. Working with Sound Active Events was so easy and seamless - especially using the online portal that Anthony provides to fill out your songs and questions. We can't thank you guys enough for making our day so special!!!
Sound Active Events helped make our wedding day perfect! The string trio we requested at our ceremony was elegant, graceful and sounded absolutely amazing. It was the perfect touch...
. We cannot thank Anthony enough for helping us to throw a fantastic party. Kevin, our MC, went above and beyond. He had a fantastic personality and made our reception fun and interactive. He consistently checked in on us to make sure that we were happy with everything. Our guests had so much fun and we were so happy to see everyone smiling up on the dance floor, having a great time!
