Sound Illusions

our music, and he went above and beyond by taking multiple calls, answering all my questions, and walking through playlists in detail. Throughout the process, I felt he was truly attentive and cared just as much about our wedding as we did. I’d recommend him a thousand times over!

communicative throughout. On the day, he brought great energy, made smooth announcements, and played all our must-plays while avoiding every “no” song (which impressed our married friends who’d had issues with their DJs). Guests kept telling us how great he was! He showed up to our rehearsal, coordinated seamlessly with our vendors (including a harpist!), and added lighting that truly elevated the space. We couldn’t be happier that we chose him.

erent music timelines, etc. He met with us via phone call before the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. He did an amazing job executing our musical preferences, announcing all of the fun moments throughout the night, and going along with some of our funky/crazy ideas. He even took a fun video of our night which was an amazing surprise to wake up to the morning after our wedding! Thanks Manny, you rock!

c choices, and on and on. To top it off he is a very funny, very easy person to work with. Excellent pricing too. Definitely I would recommend to my friends and family. Thanks Manny for doing such a great job at my daughters wedding!

so many guests say how good of a job he did! Highly recommend!!

ble personality and talent and expertise with providing us with the music we were looking from the start to finish of our event, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and person to help plan our big day! Highly recommend :)

with from the start, even helping us shape the schedule to fit our vision. His attention to detail and ability to read the crowd made a huge difference. We couldn’t be happier with his performance and highly recommend him—5/5!

ess and enjoyable. He was incredibly communicative, kind, and made planning feel exciting! Every meeting with him left us feeling at ease and even more excited for our big day! On the wedding day itself, Manny delivered in every way. He kept the dance floor full and so fun all night and ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. His energy and professionalism were unmatched. We also loved having his daughter run the photo booth! She was so sweet, fun, and engaging with all our guests. We can't recommend DJ Manny highly enough — he was absolutely amazing. Thank you for everything DJ Manny

ized and easy to use and he had many great suggestions. Not only was the planning process easy and stress free but he completely executed the whole ceremony and reception perfectly and exactly as we had planned it. You will not be disappointed if you hire Manny. He is truly the best!!!

ping the energy going on the dance floor, too. Highly recommend choosing Manny as your wedding DJ.

iquely edited audio files that he was able to incorporate seamlessly into our ceremony. Know that if you go with Manny you're in good hands and everyone will have a blast on the dance floor! We got married at Leo Carrillo ranch.

he dance floor! We had many compliments! His pricing is great as well and he has photobooth services!

details covered. Manny even made a small video of our big day that captured all of our special moments. I honestly cannot speak more highly of Manny and the services that he provided for our wedding!

on it with the announcements and kept the dance floor hyped! His photo booth was so fun - I loved the random props! All in all- I would 100% recommend Sound Illusions!!!

ng we provided him and all of our guests kept complimenting the music and how amazing his mixes were. He is so awesome and has the absolute best energy and we’re so thankful to have found him! We will be recommending him to every single one of our friends and family getting married or having any event. He played such a huge part in our special day and we will always be reaching out to him for all future events we plan from now on. Manny truly is the best and is now apart of the family!!!

with him as soon as we had our first phone call. He is so happy to be a part of a couple’s wedding day and goes above and beyond making it perfect. Fast forward 2 years later to our June 22, 2024 and Manny blew us away with the music and smoothness of our day! We had a small hiccup with the start of our ceremony (not related to Manny) and he handled it so well that none of our guests even noticed the small bump in the plan. The music played matched every part or the night.. I even told him when we were dancing in our reception that he could play whatever he wanted to match the vibe and to scratch our playlist we made haha. He is so easy going and was a huge reason we loved our wedding. The guests had AMAZING things to say about his professionalism, upbeat demeanor and overall role in the night. My favorite part of the night (our private last dance) was the most intimate and special moment to end with and thankfully Manny was able to set up his tripod and film it for us without us even noticing until the very end. We now have one our most memorable moments on film just for us to enjoy over and over again. I want to host more events simply to have Manny involved and dj for us again. Top notch service! Book Manny for all of your music needs (or just to bring along and he’ll light up the night!) THANK YOU MANNY FOR EVERYTHING!! -Stephanie & Garrett

roved DJs. There was a long list, including companies with flashy names, or a whole stable of DJs, but we asked the venue coordinator who was the most FUN, TALENTED, and KIND dj to work with. He literally didn’t pause before starring *Manny at Sound Illusion*. We met Manny over the phone and he was instantly the right energy that we knew would take care of our full age range of guests while keeping it really fun for us. He was extremely organized with forms where we could write our exact music requests, had phone meetings with us to verbally talk through the whole day and make sure we were all on the same page. He also was always happy to suggest music, etc, if we weren’t sure or didn’t have a strong opinion. On the wedding day he DELIVERED. The way he transitioned songs to keep the dance floor going for FIVE HOURS, he hosted our Shoe Game, gave guests a slow break he sensed that they needed and then got guests literally running back to the dance floor the rest of the night. He was also the NICEST human being. We heard stories that he has literally given a speech at weddings when the best man got nervous and left, helped host a wedding when the bride/groom and family didn’t show up from the ceremony location, and so much more. He kept making us feel excited for our wedding and we will recommend him for the rest of our marriage. If you can manage to book him, there is no other choice than to do so haha.

onal DJ. From our first meeting, he made it made the consultation very easy, and comfortable. He had all these ideas for our May “the 4th” wedding and let me tell you it was a hit!!! From the moment our guests touched the dance floor I don’t think anyone sat back down he kept EVERY person dancing. He listened exactly to our requests and flawlessly executed our ideas. If you are looking for a DJ who is going to make all your wedding dreams come true pick Manny. For an added bonus we also added on the Photo Booth he offers as part of his service which he incorporated all our colors and wedding invites into which were such a nice touch. I really can’t say enough about how he excelled any expectation we had. He truly was a major part of making it the best day ever. I will forever be thankful for Manny and his wife!!

tiful and fun. We had the most amazing time.and a beautiful ceremony and none of that would happen if it wasnt for mannny.mcing and music . We threw manny many curveballs like now im doing a trivia game or want line dancing videos not only did manny was onboard but did Awesome conducting both. We are so incredibly grateful for manny !

and she was the sweetest. I could not recommend them enough!

o hop on a call to walk through timing and all things wedding! I appreciated his positive and happy demeanor more than he will ever know! Thank you Manny for helping make our day so so special!

pes of music to be played etc. Everybody loved the music!

e to follow up with us in the weeks leading up to the wedding to be sure that all of the scheduling was on point, and put us at ease for the big day. On the day of the wedding, the music selection flowed so perfectly from dinner music, to dancing. He even surprised us by capturing a couple of moments on video which was so special to us. We would absolutely recommend Manny to anyone who is looking for a fabulous DJ. Someone who is a perfectionist, master at their craft, and so very kind and positive. thank you again, Manny!

ur wide range of music. AND came with a photo booth at an affordable price! He was able to create the photo strip and add little details that we asked. Highly recommend and highly affordable!!!

he schedule and he was proactive and asked all the right questions. Wow! What a blast. Our guests had an amazing time, the dance floor was poppin all night, he even surprised us later with a video from the wedding night. He made our night so fun and worry free. The level of professionalism was definitely there, and proud to make a special day for all. We can’t thank you enough for a fun time.

hen some. DJ Manny’s professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. He repeatedly took the time to sit down with us (virtually) to understand our musical preferences and our schedule, helping us blend the perfect playlist that catered to all of our guests' tastes. He asked all of the right questions, and answered ones we didn’t even know to ask. He brought a sense of ease to the whole wedding planning process, giving us peace of mind, which we couldn’t put a price tag on if we tried. His 20+ years of experience and dedication to the craft were subtle leading up to the big day, but so obvious and helpful in retrospect. On the note of music, special shout out to Manny for playing banger after banger during open dancing. I know we chose the music, but still :). He and his blending of the music brought an infectious enthusiasm to our wedding, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and celebration, bringing our families together in a way they never had been. So in short, if you're looking for a wedding DJ who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them in every way, look no further. His talent, dedication, and commitment to making your special day unforgettable are second to none. We are forever grateful for the role he played in making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Thank you, DJ Manny, for going above and beyond to make our dreams come true!

sy for us to send him our playlists. He made sure that all the special ceremony and first dance songs were the exact versions we wanted. We ended up making our own playlists which he stuck to because he was able to keep the party going on the dance floor with the order he played the songs in. We had a small 'do not play' list and he did not play any of the songs on it which was very appreciated. The sound equipment and lighting he provided was perfect (he provided some lighting for a flower arch we had which really made it stand out at night) and he did a great job MCing/making announcements to keep things moving during the reception. There are so many things to be stressed about when planning your wedding, but music will not be one of them if you choose Manny!

Everyone commented on how much fun it was. Manny definitely played a huge role in it. Thank you again Manny. I look forward to working with you for any future events I plan.

ding to discuss our music choices and logistics. He sent a google doc where we were able add details and view the timing of the music which was really helpful. He also sent over our important songs in advance to make sure they were the right versions. He was alway super enthusiastic and I really enjoyed working with him. During the wedding, he had three different stations and no one saw him move all of his gear. One minute he was at the ceremony and next all his stuff was at the first dance space outside and in a blink of an eye he was inside by the dance floor. He was like a NINJA and I appreciated the behind the scenes efficiency. I would 20/20 recommend over and over again!

us curate the playlists for each part of the day exactly as we wanted it. He send sample cuts of all the key songs of the day and was super patient about making timing edits. People raved about the music for days after the wedding. He is such a sweet, easy-going person who brings fun energy to the dance floor! I can’t recommend him enough!!! Hire him and you won’t regret it!

ustomized and the Photo Booth made for epic memories. Manny and team are exceptionally recommended.

easy. The audio and music for the ceremony made it super special. At the reception Manny had everyone out on the dance floor the whole night. Our guests loved the photo booth with tons of props and personalized photos to take home. If you want a wedding to remember I highly recommend Sound Illusions.

eral meetings to go over songs and make sure he got the timing just right. He was easily reachable by call or text and was so kind every time. Everything was perfect. He even played games with guests during dinner which lightened up the mood. The music was so good for dancing even the vendors commented on it! Manny also recorded several moments throughout the ceremony and reception which was amazing because we didn’t have a videographer. Thank you Manny for being so amazing and being apart of our special day!

times and made sure every song we picked was the correct version. He made our day so amazing and kept the energy up all night long!

low of the night. During each phone call I was always impressed by his calm and friendly demeanor. On wedding night, he really kept the party going and played songs that our guests loved! Thank you Manny for a wonderful night!

ing. I think he was more excited about our wedding than we were lol, JK. All in all, I would definitely recommend Manny as a DJ for your wedding. He is so upbeat and keeps everyone having a good time on the dance floor. We couldn't have chosen a better DJ.

day so special! We also used his photo booth that his wife worked and it was a MAJOR hit! We didn’t want the night to end. Thank you so much for making our day incredible! We love you Manny!

ith & we are forever grateful for all his help!

tion went off without a hitch and was so seamless. He kept the energy going all night and we couldn't have been happier with the way everything went. We also did our photo booth with him and our guests loved it. HIGHLY recommend, Sound Illusions! Thanks so much Manny for making our wedding day so perfect!

ay came out! No issues whatsoever and guests were constantly telling us how great the music and DJ were during the reception. We are so happy to have worked with Manny and would choose him over and over again without a doubt! Thank you so much, Manny!!
