Sound Garden Productions

dding. He worked with us as we went step by step to plan the ceremony and reception music, gave us suggestions and took the lead on the day of the wedding. We were able to enjoy the day worry free as Fred ran the show! So professional, so personable and he was the reason our family and friends had so much fun singing, dancing and celebrating. Thank you, Sound Garden Productions . . . amazing job!

tle pricier than others but worth it. Fred ended up having a family emergency (this happens, we were never upset about this) and sent his “best guy” Geo in his place. I did inquire as to the premium that we had paid specifically for Fred and he brushed off our concerns saying that we had already received a “discounted rate”. Prior to the wedding I’d filled out the digital playlist worksheet with my first dance song, dance music requests, etc. and had separate phone conversations with both Fred and Geo to walk through it. Both times I talked about how I wanted to skip ahead 20 seconds or so into the first dance song (Shania Twain “you’re still the one”) to skip the part where she’s talking and they both said that’s standard because they get that song a lot. The day of, I walked through my vision for the grand entrance with Geo (was not complicated) and he said indicated that he understood. Basically i just wanted him to play the song and my wedding party was going to form a dance line before we walked out. Well, he didn’t understand and completely ruined it and it was the most awkward part of the wedding…. Until right after that when he played the WRONG first dance song. He played a different Shania Twain song, and when I told him that wasn’t the correct song and he had the audacity to tell me the I was wrong because “that’s what I told him”. I went back and double checked my digital worksheet afterwards and he was very much mistaken. Now every time I hear my real first dance song on the radio I get upset because he’s ruined it for us. All of the MC moments were awkward because he would stop the music to talk (rather than turning it down) and there was a long awkward pause before he started the music again- for example, he stopped the music to invite single ladies to the floor for the bouquet toss, waited for them to all get there before playing the music and everyone was just standing around. He did this awkward silence thing at every single MC moment from the grand entrance on. He didn’t consider the request list at all during dancing, only requests made in person, and did not play 1 single slow dance song. On the day of I never expressed my absolute fury at this man (aside from my visible agitation at the first dance song) because I needed him to keep the party going- you’re kind of at their mercy. But in the end I feel that I was duped, did not get what I paid for, and am left with some bad memories due to this DJ and no apology regarding the very obvious mistakes. We also hired our photo booth through them and I had a lot of trouble communicating with Michelle (non-responsive) until I told Fred and he stepped in to facilitate.

e our date without any problems, and I don’t mind saying some of our vendors gave us problems. We were out of towners but he met with us via zoom. His planning system is top notch, you can put in all your wants and wishes. But he doesn’t stop there. He takes such a personal touch with his couples. He made our wedding so perfect. I cannot recommend fred highly enough. Our wedding would not have been what it was without him. That’s the truth.

custom requests for the Grand entrance music for each of our wedding party. We would definitely recommend him for your wedding or special event.

r party with Fred as our DJ .❤️

eyond to help make our wedding just perfect. We had a longer engagement and found Fred early on in our wedding planning. From the moment we met him, we knew that he and his team would help us make our wedding magical and the best party ever. Fred was extremely communicative and was always available via phone/facetime & email (we live in a different state) to talk and answer any questions we had. He was very clear about his pricing and is very fair. There were no hidden fees of any nature. He did our sound for our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception and everything was fantastic. Fred has a custom specialized online portal where my wife and I went through and added songs that he has in his database to a “must play” list, “do not play” list, a “maybe if we have time” list, and an area to add our own specially requested songs. Picking our music couldn’t have been more fun or easy! There’s also an area in the portal to list out the sequence of events which made planning the timing of the reception super easy. The reception couldn’t have gone any better-largely thanks to Fred!!!! Not only did he get our guests super pumped up as the bridal party and brides walked in for our grand entrance, he also had the most incredible way to get all of our guests on the dance floor. It’ll be a part of the reception we’ll never forget because it was so special and fun. Dj Fred’s Emcee skills were amazing too-his personality is super warm, fun, and inviting and he definitely knows how to run an event. All of our reception events went perfectly and were timed out just great because of him. The music was ON POINT all night long and our dance floor was never empty once. Overall, Fred and his team were just fantastic, trustworthy, and wonderful to work with and I hope that everyone is as lucky as we were to work with him!

h the schedule with everything. He even came on the dance floor to wobble with us! i'll never forget and would recommend him anytime. Parties, weddings anything you need you will not be disappointed. Thank you Sound Garden!

ifty industry website allowing one to put in Must Play, Should Play, and Don't Play songs. He also volunteered to pay for a limited number of songs not in his library. On the day of our Wedding, Fred came dressed very suave and ready to entertain. He provided the microphone for the ceremony. At his recommendation, we left the music for the cocktail hour and dinner up to him, and it was all very tasteful and enjoyable. He did a great job with choices for dance sets as well. He cut our First Dance song right where we designated, and he cut our Father Daughter and Mother Son dances when we nodded to him, as planned. His mic skills are second to none.

nd also paced out the evening perfectly. My cousin is getting married in November and guess who they booked as their DJ? You guessed it, Fred!!! Seriously amazing! Thanks Fred!

ial day! We would definitely recommend Sound Garden Productions!

vative family. He also gave us wonderful uplighting and ensured our ceremony music was just perfect and emotional. He was also happy to work with us on foreign music. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or use him again for future events.

to create our own play list. I can't say enough about Fred (i.e. Sound Garden Productions) and the amazing job he did. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat.

ing music for our wedding customizable, and an engaging experience for my husband and I. Anything to eliminate stress on wedding day is a BIG deal, and I felt confident that Sound Garden had things under control.

ns out that he works with a bilingual MC, so it was perfect. We gave him a list of songs that we wanted to play at the wedding (he has a website where you can do this) and he did a really good job at choosing other songs that we really liked. He excelled at understanding our music taste. He was also able to provide music for our ceremony, which was very convenient for us. Fred is very friendly and energetic, and he even got onto the dance floor to teach us some group dancing. It was awesome! We rented the uplights and we loved them, they made the reception venue look so much nicer. Thank you so much for everything Fred. We had a great time, and it would have not been the same without you.

and provided much appreciated knowledge and advice. I originally chose Fred and Sound Garden because he did more than play music, he interacted with our families and ensured the party was live the whole time. Fred and his assistant kept us excited, having fun and most importantly on schedule. If you are looking for more than just a DJ and want someone who shows he genuinely cares about your wedding and providing you exactly the day you are looking for than Fred and Sound Garden Productions are the obvious choice. Thank you again Fred for everything!

didn't just play our songs --- he transformed them into something magical by = combined Bollywood/latin/pop/hip-hop/soul in a smooth manner. Not only was Fred a fantastic DJ but also an amazing MC --- who had all of our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Fred was professional and fun to talk to through the entire wedding planning process. By being very organized and always replying to our messages quickly, Fred went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. Thank you, Fred, and keep up the good work

I was completely lost!). When it came to the reception, he was able to read the crowd and man can he throw a party! We added his photo booth at the last minute and it was a complete hit. There were more props than we knew what to do with. I HIGHLY recommend Sound Garden Productions if you want to dance the night away, like we did!

Fred and Ann kept the reception going with their efficiency and great charismatic nature! 100% conga line as well - who does that?! Fred and Ann, we couldn't have asked for better DJs for our wedding celebration and will cherish the memories forever - thank you so much! We will definitely ask you guys to be a part of our future events and celebrations and I will highly recommend you guys to anyone having a celebration!!

ser friendly and Fred helped with any questions I had, which there were a lot! I cannot reccomend them enough, thank you guys for making our wedding so fun and special!!

preferences and I was always impressed with Fred's positive and dedicated demeanor from the very beginner. We talked to a lot of djs before deciding who to go with and Fred really stood out from everyone. He really MADE the reception what it was, by getting everybody dancing and having fun. He moved through the wedding timeline and events with ease and perfection. He was actually my favorite wedding vendor of them all, he did not cause me one ounce of stress! He knows the business like the back of his hand and there's no reason not to have full confidence in him and his company.

d took over in areas where I wanted him to. Folks, he knows what to do! He fulfilled all of our request and was a delightful MC and DJ for the evening. His setup with ambiance lighting and mic for speeches was on point. We did an Indian wedding, so feel free to use this as a recommendation that he is great in this space too! A lot of people said many great things about DJ Fred throughout the wedding reception and the days following the wedding. I cannot thank you enough for knowing exactly what to do and adding that extra touch of magic to the evening. Thanks again, Sumit and Carrie
