Sound Investment DJ Service, Lighting & Photo Booth

mes, playlists, expectations, etc. , but really didn't know what to expect. When we spoke with him, we could tell that we were in good hands and that he had done this many times before. We felt the stress of the rigid timeline leaving us and felt fully comfortable giving him flexibility based on his expertise. It was the best decision we could have made. He had all the songs on our playlist and was able to also advise on some changes based on our guest list. He is punctual, professional, and has a fun attitude that got all our wedding guests to the dance floor.

he night humming, but did not "outdo" the main event!

ur entrance music to the wedding and for the wedding party entrance to the reception. He MC'ed the evening, played requested music, and kept people dancing.

uper accommodating when we had to move our date a year forward because of the pandemic. He also has a great sense of humor and was an amazing MC! Thank you Kirk!!!!!

I can be. He was able to keep people on the Dancefloor all afternoon on our special day.

mazing job every time!

ensured we all had a great time.

to play at what time. He’s great at reading the room and knowing what’ll get people on the dance floor. My wife and I are thrilled with him, and would 100% recommend him to any couples planning a wedding. A DJ can really make or break a wedding, and I know hiring Kirk Michaels will ALWAYS make a wedding - he’s incredible at what he does.

long time, so he also has great suggestions and ideas if you’re stuck picking music for certain parts of the wedding reception. I loved working with him, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone planning a wedding. He helped create a great party and a memorable evening for my husband and I!

e eating, mingling, or dancing. We would definitely hire him again.

ration. We were delighted with the entire event. Our guests danced throughout the evening and had a fabulous time. We highly recommend Sound investment.

c in making our day special. It was great that we could choose the songs to be played. Using the website to select from the vast library of songs was fun and easy. He met with us early in the planning stages and also right before the wedding to make sure everything was set. During the reception the music sounded amazing and was the perfect volume. He encouraged our guests to be more involved, dance, and have fun. He also was happy to play some of our guest's music requests and helped with announcements. The price was also very reasonable. I highly recommend hiring Sound Investment for your next event.

s. We met multiple times before our wedding to go over timeline, song selections and every other detail. He made us feel at ease that he would handle getting the party started and telling our guests what to expect next. The dance floor was packed all night from Kirk’s awesome playlist!

calmed our nerves about how our night would run. The music selection was perfect for our guests, they were able to request and he got everyone out on the dance floor all night! Highly recommend Kirk for your next event!

up on the floor and dancing all night long. He readily played suggestions that the guests brought to him, and our daughter received many compliments on the range and appeal of the music - he knew just what to play, and when. The photo booth he provided was a huge hit with young and old alike. We had a wonderful experience with Kirk and Sound Investment DJ Service!

s well. The bad: From the very beginning of our working relationship, Kirk spoke most directly to my husband and spoke over me, frequently. He, on more than one occasion, made jokes to my husband that they'd have to "take the bride's ideas into consideration," with an eye roll. As if my husband was the client, not the couple. On more than one occasion he even suggested that our taste in music was questionable (I'm a professional musician. So...) meanwhile he made suggestions for pre-ceremony music that were, at best, Muzak. So he either wasn't listening to us or doesn't know how to work with peoples' tastes. SO we ended up creating our own pre-ceremony playlist for him to use. We were planning our wedding from out of town so most of our meetings occurred over Zoom so I figured, maybe he just doesn't read that well over the internet. The week of the wedding we met in person and Kirk took diligent notes, so I felt a little less anxious. And despite his behavior towards me throughout the process, assured us he's very "pro-chick." So don't worry brides, he's enlightened. But, the day of the wedding, Kirk seemingly forgot all of the details he'd taken notes on. He made incorrect announcements throughout the night that my husband had to then rectify with the guests. He also griped and complained to our day-of coordinator, frequently. During the speeches, when my mother went up to speak, he saw how long her notes were and said "Oh my God" and rolled his eyes. She heard this and it hurt her. He looked bored and huffed during other speeches, which admittedly lasted a while. But we have a big family and no one else was complaining. During the reception, he frequently looked bored and checked out and his energy was flat, at best. We had the opportunity to add an hour to his time but chose not to. At the end of the night, he cornered my husband and demanded that he speak to him. My husband was distracted because, we had just gotten married and were dealing with shuttle issues. Kirk literally snapped in my husband's face and said "Dude you have to pay attention. I'm talking to you here." Frankly we were uninterested in what he had to say about what he would have done differently. Because what he thought he should have changed was way off base. He was rude as hell. Then, after we had left, he stuck around and asked the bar to give him drinks. Over all, if we could do it over I'd hire someone else. Kirk may have been great in his prime but I think he's exhausted and should probably retire.

music for the ceremony which was helpful. For the reception we selected a lot of our own music we wanted played. We had a lot of Spanish music, which we were concerned he didn’t have a lot of experience playing. He bought the songs that he didn’t have so we could play them the wedding day. Now the bad part. Because Kirk didn’t have a lot of knowledge w Spanish music, he didn’t know when to play certain songs to get the party dancing. I told Kirk, all I want is to make sure everyone dances all night and he unfortunately fell a little short there. My wife went up to him during the reception and asked him To change things up to get more people dancing but struggled. Finally the last hour he was able to pick it up a little and get people dancing. As a DJ, you have 2 main jobs (IMO) play music and make people dance. When there wasn’t many people dancing, you need to feel the crowd and know what it will take to get people dancing, Kirk couldn’t do that. I feel like Kirk is past him prime and struggled getting everyone hyped. We had multiple complaints on the dj from guest days after. Kirk is a nice guy and probably does a fine job w basic events. We are a younger couple and wanted the place jumping all night and it didn’t happen. If the crowd wasn’t dancing to a certain song, he would play the whole song instead of changing it up to get people to start dancing again. I’ve never DJ’ed before but I’ve been to many clubs and events and I know when a DJ is good at their craft, Kirk can play music, that’s it. My wife and I both agreed we think we should have found someone younger that has good energy and can adapt to any crowd to make them dance. We had a great wedding but one thing we would’ve changed is the DJ.

Sound Investment!

sic.

stars if I could!!!! <3

e remains professional throughout, but also keeps everyone engaged and throws in humor to keep things upbeat. He pronounced all names perfectly and kept things moving along. Would recommend Sound Investment DJ Services very highly!

aylist for our wedding!! Everything came out perfect and my guests had a blast dancing the night away. Kirk is a blast to work with and I couldn’t imagine my day without him there. I can’t thank him enough for making our day so memorable. It was so much fun making great memories with family and friends!! Kirk is a MUST HAVE for any party and especially your wedding!!! 5 stars aren’t enough, I would give 100!

t to light our vision! Thank you Kirk and your team!

He made everything on our end feel effortless and the result was phenomenal. There are still guests and family members commenting on our music selection. We even had wait staff at our venue, who have seen hundreds of weddings with different djs, comment on how great our music and flow of the evening was. There were always people on the dance floor. I could not be happier with the services Kirk provided us, including the extras like the photo booth and the unexpected photos and videos he took of moments which our photographers didn't even get! Overall Kirk is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone!

the waitresses at our venue who have probably heard many dj’s pass through their venue for weddings, complimented me on how well the music selection was. All of that couldn’t have been possible without Kirk! I can’t recommend him enough!!

e did my older son’s wedding and was happy with him so we had him do my youngest son’s wedding also. Good luck Kirk!!!

imes over. Thank you Kirk, for going the extra mile.

each out to me to make sure all was ok. Bill (our dj the day of) was AMAZING! He had our guests on their feet and everyone still talks about how much fun they had at our wedding! We also had the photobooth through Kirk - which was attended by one of his employees. The props were awesome, guests had great laughs and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend Kirk and his crew!!

individually. He’ll take all direction you give him but is also willing to help you when you’re not sure what to play! He takes all the stress out of planning a party. He kept all my guests on their feet and the party going! It was such an pleasure to work with Kirk and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, accountable and well seasoned DJ!

recommend suggestions on the flow of the wedding. On our wedding day, Kirk was able to quickly adapt to some last minute changes and was always in tune with the mood of the guests with his playlist. Kirk can interact with a variety of guest’s personalities and keep the mood fun while still fun maintaining the schedule of events. We would definitely hire him again and highly recommend his services.

th us, and was very respectful, funny and knowledgeable. It was a source of great comfort to know that he was at our wedding. We miss him!!!!

the big day. The guests all loved the music, and the fact that it wasn't so loud that you couldn't talk to each other. He knew just what to play to get people up and dancing. I would highly recommend Kirk!!

ding day, but he was always available to meet, and willing to help us choose certain songs when we were struggling and always gave honest and helpful guidance. Our wedding guests are still raving about how good our DJ was, as the music was never too loud, and he always knew what songs to play to get people up and dancing. He made sure to include every song that we wanted played. I could not recommend Kirk enough!!

our meetings, and rehearsal on time and even added lights last minute! Kirk was also super attentive to all details like both our parents wedding songs, and information about our wedding party, which we wouldn't ever think about in planning! I would definitely recommend him to any couple looking for a fun, outgoing, and upbeat DJ.

repared to run smoothly. He added a few tasteful suggestions and was friendly to our guests. I’d highly recommend Kirk!

be moved indoors. Marvelous integration of live and digital music during the event... solid coordination with those involved in the ceremony... kept the guests engaged and entertained well into the evening. Sound Investment went above and beyond to enhance this special day.

ay both Greek & English music, create an uplit monogram, handle uplighting, provide us a photo booth with props, handle the ceremony AND be a total master of ceremonies...in ninety degree weather...during a holiday week...without charging us an arm and a leg. Kirk was our guy! Our wedding wouldn't have been half as awesome if he hadn't been placed in charge of those items. He is super easy going and flexible. We are so appreciative of his efforts. I personally have hired very well rated DJs in the area for multiple events but don't be fooled when you search Google for "wedding DJ," for example. A DJ doesn't set the tone for the event...a true master of ceremonies does. A lot of these "top rated" DJs will charge top prices to place top 40 songs all night...but they don't coordinate with vendors, personalize their interactions with guests or facilitate the evening. You'd be silly not to hire Sound Investment!

rful he was, how he kept the crowd engaged, how he knew exactly what music to play at exactly the right time. I am so happy we went with Kirk, and we’d do it again in a heartbeat if we were to need DJ services for another event! Highly, highly recommended!
