We initially got in touch with DJ Pat at Sound Prodigy when we got our recommended vendor list from the venue, and after talking to him for an initial consultation we knew that we’d found our DJ company. He hooked us up with DJ Danny and we were very happy with how the whole day went.
After the initial consultation they signed us up for the VIBO app where we were able to make playlists for every part of the wedding. The app was really cool and helpful, and we were able to link any song from Spotify on there.
On wedding day DJ Danny was AWESOME. He was so good at keeping everything moving through the reception, and he checked in with us at every step of the way to make sure that the music was to our liking. I especially appreciate his attention to making sure that we had a good last song to end the night (he did have to ask us a couple times – we couldn’t decide!) He had a lot of great ideas that come with wedding experience and we were grateful to have him there.
I would definitely recommend DJ Danny and Sound Prodigy!

DJ Pat is great! His clear experience shines through, he's professional, and a pleasure to work with. He kept our event on time all night, despite the entire wedding starting late due to bad weather. I really appreciated how respectful he was when he needed to get our attention, just waited patiently for us to have a break in speaking to guests. We felt in good hands throughout the event, and most importantly, our friends and family thoroughly enjoyed themselves dancing the night away. Thanks DJ Pat!

Out of 5 stars, 0 being lowest rated and 5 being highest…. For Sound Prodigy
Professionalism: 5 stars
From the very beginning, DJ Pat was professional about everything from inquiry to adding extra service. While he did occasionally brought out his humorous and fun side, we were able to narrow down quickly because of his straightforward and honest demeanor that easily persuaded us he’s a good team member to work with
Communication: 5 stars
The most responsive and articulate communicator of all vendors I have talked to ranging from florist, photographer, coordinators, you name it. Once DJ talks to you, it’s as if he has a good idea of what you may need. Most importantly, he is very respectful yet fun!
Quality of service: 5 stars
Sadly I won’t have another wedding but if I ever have the chance to work with DJ Pat YES PLEASE! He is thorough and provides outstanding service to the bridal party, venue, and guests. He is considerate of the wedding couple and the guests- we cannot ask for a better DJ to work with!
Value: 5 stars
DJ Pat is someone, I would like to think, who respects everyone’s taste in musics. He is also able to see what may be lacking in your music and observe what the guests might need. From the songs that were played at our wedding, I knew he values the songs we requested and he also knows the important ones to play within a limited time frame on the dance floor. Trust him, he will help create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests

DJ Pat was an absolutely amazing wedding DJ! We couldn’t have asked for someone better, he did a phenomenal job from start when the guests arrived to the very last song. The music selection was perfect, it kept everyone dancing and was exactly what we wanted. DJ Pat made the whole wedding process seamless, his music app was amazing and we could work at out own pace. He was extremely responsive and gave us a great recommendation for our wedding game (which we keep getting compliments about!)
I cannot recommend DJ Pat enough, he truly was the perfect person for the job!!!

We had DJ Pat for our wedding reception and it couldn't have been a better experience! From the start Pat was very helpful in setting up a timeline for the event and eased the stress of planning with his prompt communication. We didn't originally plan on having a DJ but are so happy we did because it made our special day so much better. All of our guests had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the music. I would 100% recommend DJ Pat and Sound Prodigy to engaged couples for weddings or anyone that is interested in getting a DJ for an event!

DJ Pat was awesome. :D The app he uses made it easy to put the songs we wanted and answer any questions he had about the way we wanted our wedding to run. It was super user friendly and had great recommendations when we couldn't think of the perfect song.
Everything was set up on time and he was constantly in communication with my husband and I to make sure everything was as we wanted. Pat played special request songs that made our guests very happy. Pat truly cares and takes pride in his work. I recommend having Pat DJ for your wedding or event. He helped make our wedding perfect!
Thank you DJ Pat! :)

We are so glad we chose Sound Prodigy for our wedding DJ! DJ Pat was communicative and professional throughout the entire process. He uses an app that was easy to use and helped us curate our music preferences during our ceremony and into the reception. The app allows you to create a timeline of events and add specific songs so that everything goes smoothly throughout the event. We got so many compliments during the reception on the song choices. DJ Pat really knows how to choose the best song order to keep the party going, and vibes were high throughout the evening! We also highly recommend the lighting option he provides, this really added to the ambience for the reception. We would highly recommend him to DJ any event. Thank you DJ Pat for making our wedding a night to remember!

Pat was amazing! He was perfect for our Disney Fairytale wedding. He is experienced with Disney and how they operate so he knew all the ins and outs. We absolutely loved his music planning app, it made everything so easy for us. He is very friendly, and easy to communicate with. Not only did he keep everyone dancing, but he provided beautiful uplighting and projections which added such a beautiful feel to the venue. We couldn’t be happier with our decision in using Pat.

DJ PAT single-handedly kept the dance floor going the whole night. Not only is he hilarious and very personable, but he really cares about you and your wedding day. He was consistently checking in on us, making sure we were happy, and wanted to help throughout the entire process. He even was willing to help with timelines on the day of. The app that Sound Prodigy uses for music coordination is really helpful and easy to use. DJ Pat is a great DJ, great person and great vendor - would recommend him and his company again and again!!!

Sound Prodigy and DJ Pat were awesome to work with. The app he had us use to add music to, so he could get a feel for what we like, was very easy to use. He’s clearly very experienced and knew how to get the crowd energized and keep the dance floor packed all night. His intuitive sense of the vibe and flow of the evening was spot on, and he kept the music going seamlessly through all the key moments. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding celebration so memorable. We also booked a photo bus through him and I highly recommend that. Our guests had a great time taking pictures and you get both physical and digital copies and we had so much fun looking through everyone’s photos after the wedding. Highly recommend!

I would give DJ Pat 1000 stars if I could. He was so amazing! He made our wedding truly so special. The app we used to make our playlist was so awesome and we didn't add the max number of songs so I told him I wanted fun party songs to dance to and he really delivered. From minute 1 until the last dance, the dance floor was packed and he really kept the energy up. He nailed the timing for entries when we requested to start the song not from the beginning or to correspond with us moving from one area to the next. He's also one of the nicest people you'll ever work with. I'll be recommending Sound Prodigy to everyone I know in the area who's putting on an event. Seriously cannot say enough about how perfect our day was because of DJ Pat! Also adding, he played the BEST end of the night song and I saw a video he took on his Instagram, that may have been my favorite moment of the night so thank you DJ Pat for capturing how special that moment was for my husband and me!

DJ Pat was awesome! From the interview process, to the planning (the app is so easy to use), and the services delivered on the day of. We chose him because of his experience DJing weddings (especially at our venue), his friendly personality, and his expertise/advice in the process. Now that our day has passed, we are SO happy we chose him because he also did his job so well on the day!
We gave him about half of our dance floor songs and asked him to fill the rest with songs that get people dancing (I didn't want to hire a DJ to just play a playlist), and it was so hard to get ourselves off the dance floor--every song was a hit with the crowd, and everyone had such a great time at our reception. He didn't play any of our "do not plays," and crafted the set and vibes so well throughout the night. He has a great MC voice and skills, and helped direct things perfectly on the day while building excitement and hyping us and all others (vendors, speech-givers) up. Highly recommend for anyone looking to hire a DJ in San Diego, we are super happy we chose him for our day. Thank you Pat!

DJ Pat was fantastic. Pat stepped up when we dropped the ball because we missed our coordination meeting with him; Pat acted quickly to setup another meeting and to verify that everything we requested and needed was reflected in the easy-to-use Sound Prodigy portal. He played every single song we and our guests requested at our wedding, skipping only the ones on our no-play list and creating seamless transitions from hit to hit on the dance floor. Pat created a fun atmosphere that aligned with our music tastes and his passion for music, dance, and helping people celebrate was evident from start to finish. He was a great hype man and emcee thoughout the evening and especially for our grand entrance! We recommend Sound Prodigy and DJ Pat for your next event!

We had a great experience with DJ Pat! He made planning everything so easy for us. I was so worried about music and if people would be dancing. He eased that worry for me! He noticed what music got people dancing and catered to this, while following what we had put on our playlist. It was great! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!!

DJ Pat was the best decision we made for our wedding day.
I looked far and wide for a DJ to accommodate all the music my husband and I enjoyed for each event. We had very specific music and tasks from DJ Pat about how the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down the aisle to how songs played at the grand entrances, which we changed at the last minute, and he still made it possible. We were even running behind schedule, and instead of rushing us, he was calm, cool, and collected and hyped us up throughout the night. He applied professionalism, passion, and insight into all of our conversations. The app he used to plan the wedding day out was very easy to use, and he gave us pointers on what had worked at other weddings he'd DJed for.
We absolutely loved DJ Pat, and I highly recommend him if you are looking for the best DJ in San Diego County.

DJ Danny was our DJ for the evening and he did a fantastic job all around. I went with Sound Prodigy not just for the reasonable prices but also for the fact that they had a super convenient app ("Vibo") with which I was able to select and upload music (including Spotify playlists I curated) to have a hand in the music selection. DJ Pat and DJ Danny are both very personable and were excellent at communicating, detail oriented and organized, and I'm so glad I could trust their company to help make my wedding day the best day possible! I'm so glad I hired them to provide the sound/music and uplighting and would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for a great, experienced wedding DJ in the San Diego area. THANK YOU DJ Danny for having such great communication throughout the night and ensuring things went smoothly! (And for the fun karaoke moments!!)

Having DJ Pat on our team for our Wedding was one of the greatest choices we could've made!
From our introduction call months before the wedding, he was working hard to make sure he was prepared to provide what we needed- he had great suggestions for setting the vibes during dinner and happy hour, as well as a listening ear and willingness to follow our lead for everything we already had a vision for. He was very easy to get ahold of and his system for setting up music and a timeline was super user friendly!
On the day of the Wedding, he truly shined even more- he was punctual and prepared. During the ceremony he made all the transitions between our music seamless, and timed the start of the music for our unity ceremony perfectly! He kept the dance floor alive all night with a great mix of our must plays and a bunch of Wedding classics. He was also an extremely well spoken MC, guiding the night smoothly. We truly couldn't have asked for anything more than what we were provided from someone who I now consider a friend!
I 1000% recommend working with Sound Prodigy and will personally have them atop my list for any event that I put together in the future!

DJ Pat helped make our wedding absolutely magical! We highly recommend him. He was such a pleasure to work with through the planning process and made it as easy as possible. He was so organized and professional the day of the wedding and ensured the sound quality from the ceremony to the reception was top notch.
His transitions from different songs on the dance floor were so smooth and he kept the party going. He's definitely very keen at feeling the vibe and reading the crowd and makes sure everyone has a great time. He's the ultimate hype man!
We also booked the Adventure Bus Photobooth (the Volkswagen bus) through DJ Pat and all our guests LOVED it. The photo quality surpasses so many other photobooths' I've seen at other weddings, AND they gifted us a beautiful custom guest book that included all our guests' photos. Pat and his team are simply incredible.

I can’t comment enough the amazing job Sound Prodigy did on our Wedding. From our first appointment all the way to the big day everything was so smooth. The organization and accessibility of making our own personal playlist was astounding. Pat made us feel so special and like we had know him for years! His knowledge of music and how to keep the crowd on the dance floor was perfect. We had so many guests afterwards tell us what a great dj we had picked.He really made our wedding into a Disney Fairytale come to life.

DJ Pat is fantastic! He was the perfect DJ for our Disneyland wedding. From planning to execution, he helped make our wedding run smoothly, and thanks to his amazing work, our dance floor was always the place to be. Planning is simple with his playlist app. We loved his lighting, which really made our ceremony and reception rooms look special, even with a last minute location change due to rain! Pat is the greatest. We also loved working with his photobooth team! You can't go wrong.

We worked with DJ Pat. He was a delight. Everything was super smooth from beginning to end. He offers a website to input all your music. There isn't a category he hasn't thought of. This was extremely helpful and took a lot of the leg work away from me, all I had to do was submit songs. There were know kinks with Pat, everything was done exactly the way he said it would be, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The night was truly perfect. Thank you Pat!!

DJ Pat was incredible. The app he used to help us come up with the playlist was very easy to use, and made it easier to come up with a playlist that we wanted. Choosing the music was one of the more stressful parts of planning the wedding, but Pat made it much easier for us. He also had most of the wedding on the dance floor for most of the wedding, and surprised my bride and I by choosing a blink 182 song for the last song, and had the entire wedding on the dance floor for it. Best day of my life, and DJ Pat was a huge part of it. Thank you!!

Words can't express how amazing Pat was from day one, till the final song on our wedding day.
Pat was extremely thorough on our initial call with him. He had the answers to all of our questions before we could even ask, and offered so much more.
It was really cool using the application he offered to choose our music we wanted played. This was unexpected and so awesome.
Further, Pat was much much more than a DJ. He helped coordinate the whole day, from the ceremony to end of the reception.
Pat's personality was amazing, and he definitely understood the assignment.
Seriously can't recommend him enough to those trying to make a choice, he's your last stop, stop searching and find a way to make sure he's your DJ.

We cannot recommend Sound Prodigy enough! DJ Pat really, REALLY outdid himself from start to finish! From our first meeting, down to the very last song he played at our wedding. He delivered only the best, top notch service!
He made preparing for our big day so easy and seamless. The platform he uses is great & super user friendly. The platform even helps you create your day-of timeline, which is a huge underrated feature! It saved us so much time & stress!
His communication was stellar through the whole process. During our meetings, he had great recommendations, tips & tricks - He was even honest with some ideas/songs he thought weren't going to go over well, which we really appreciated as this was our first wedding,and we were planning it all on our own. He was available for any questions or concerns at any time.
When it came time for our day, Pat was punctual, patient, and his communication with all of our vendors was great. He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect, even took initiative with our other vendors which we really appreciated!
Pat made sure nothing slipped through the cracks, and I mean NOTHING. He saved us on a few small things we overlooked as well! He's a perfectionist and it shows! His performance was better than we could've hoped or imagined. He kept our dance floor going all night. He fit right in with our wedding guests, which we knew he would! He really is an all around great guy! Everyone loved him and raved about him the whole night/weekend. We truly appreciate you, Pat! Literally couldn't have done it without you! Your knowledge and your expertise is unmatched in this industry, truly the best of the best! Thank you for an unforgettable night!!!!

WOWWW. DJ Pat was so kind and kept the party going at my wedding! First off, I loved the app he had us use to curate the wedding. It was super organized, I've been in a couple of other weddings as a bridesmaid and those DJs just had emailed/paper lists.
Second, what a kind, outgoing man. He was so nice and easy to work with.
Third, he kept the vibes up all night. We didn't finish putting the dance part of the reception in the apps playlist, we added 40/60 songs. He was able to read the crowd and add his own music in and it WORKED.
I highly recommend him, thank you so much DJ Pat!!

DJ Pat did an amazing job! He was so great to work with from start to finish- from the early planning stages to our wedding day. He was very organized and reliable. Our dance floor was full the whole night, and everyone had a blast! Would highly recommend booking DJ Pat for your wedding!

Pat was the perfect DJ for us and our wedding. Discussing our wishes for how the night would go was easy and he was so professional and knew what he was doing at every step of the way. The tool he uses to collect our desired music was super easy to use. We even had to propose a last minute change to the schedule due to a health emergency, and Pat was immediately willing to help in any way he could. Working through everything with Pat was a breeze and it was so nice that in a stressful day, we never felt like we had to worry about the DJ because we knew he would have everything covered. I would recommend Pat to anyone in the area in need of a DJ.

My wedding day was absolutely perfect and a dream come true!! I can’t thank Dj Pat enough for contributing to that. He completely got our “vibe” for my wedding and he didn’t disappoint. I can’t tell you how many people came up to me and told me this was the best wedding they had ever been to. The dance floor was always moving, even so that my 86 year old grandma brought her walker onto the floor. Dj Pat even came through with us Adventure Bus and everyone loved it. I can’t thank him enough for making all our music dreams come true.

Dj Pat at Sound Prodigy is the real deal !! Not only did he rock it the day of our wedding, but every step of the way preparing for the big day he made so easy. We love the platform he used to receive and timeline our music it was so user friendly and saved so much time . Dj Pat himself is a literal gem, he's the sweetest guy with a great sense of humor and emasculate understanding for what it takes to pull off a great wedding music wise. He also has the cutest vw bus photo booth that our guests raved about ! We highly recommend !

Dj Pat is honestly the best DJ I have ever worked with and/or experienced at a wedding. His ability to not only work with any type of genre but also transition between every song is phenomenal. At my wedding our songs ranged from Taylor Swift, to Bad Bunny then to Souja boy, hahaha, so please know he is not just a one genre dj! Furthermore his welcoming and great personality is an added bonus that makes you feel like you are with family.
Last but not least, please make sure you rent his photo booth; it was such a statement at the wedding where everyone from my grandma to my flower girl enjoyed. Even the guy that Dj Pat had running the booth was fantastic!

We used DJ Danny with Sound Prodigy for our wedding and he was awesome! Definitely recommend him and would use him again if needed. We used him for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at our wedding. Between the equipment and the communication he was so easy to work with, punctual, organized, and friendly! Thanks DJ Danny!

We booked DJ Pat for our wedding on 8/13/23. He was the very first vendor we booked, and after our first call, he made us feel so much more comfortable with navigating the wedding planning process. He was very easy to work with and extremely responsive to our messages. On the day of the wedding, he met all of our expectations and catered the music perfectly to our crowd. At our first meeting, we had mentioned that we had a wide range of ages among our guests and just wanted to make sure everyone had a good time. The music fit our guests and mood perfectly. There wasn't a single moment the dance floor was empty. Big plus that we didn't expect - he has the PERFECT announcer voice! We also booked the photobooth (Booth of Smiles), and the attendent was incredibly friendly towards all our guests. Highly recommend DJ Pat!!

I am very satisfied with the services provided by Sound Prodigy! I had Danny dj my wedding ceremony and reception earlier this month. He did an excellent job! Communication was very clear between us, and I let him use his judgment for a lot of the decisions but I also had a lot of control over everything which was nice. My husband and I are music people so having everything go smoothly on our wedding day regarding music was very important to us. There were no hiccups or errors. The app they use to create playlists for the wedding is amazing. It's easy to use and you can edit EVERYTHING and make little notes for the DJ, etc. I would definitely recommend Sound Prodigy!

Dj Pat is a super nice guy (and a star wars/marvel nut!). He wasn't able to do our wedding due to another engagement, but he had Danny come and do our wedding. Danny was great, kept everything moving and was a total professional. We had a great time and so did our guests! The app they use for picking songs is great, you can pick music for every part of the wedding and they present it in a way that it meshes together perfect. Would give these guys 10/10 if I could.

DJ Pat did a fantastic job at our wedding! He was very helpful from the start in helping us with planning music, timeline, details for venue layout, etc. He was very responsive when we had questions and always had a great attitude. He worked seamlessly with the rest of our vendors and played a key role in making the day run smoothly. We would highly recommend Sound Prodigy for anyone’s wedding or event.

DJ Pat is the best! From the moment we first met, his professionalism, enthusiasm, and passion for music shone through. He took the time to understand our tastes, preferences, and the overall vibe we wanted.
On the day itself, he delivered beyond our highest expectations. The selection of songs was impeccable, seamlessly blending our personal favorites with classic crowd-pleasers. Transitions were smooth, timing perfect, and his knack for reading the room was uncanny.
He didn't just play music; he created an experience, a soundtrack to the happiest day of our lives.
If you're looking for a wedding DJ who is talented, professional, and has the ability to turn your wedding reception into the most joyous celebration, look no further. We couldn't recommend Pat more highly. Thank you for making our wedding day a dance-filled, joyous celebration we will never forget.

DJ Pat was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our first meeting, to the music planning process, to the day of ceremony and reception, he was consistently professional, detail-oriented, organized, and kind. We really cared about having a good DJ, and it was by far the best dance floor we've ever seen! A huge part of why our wedding was so fun and memorable. Thank you!!

DJ Pat is one cool cat... He took care of all requests. He is also very fair, professional, and honest from start to finish. His services included uplighting, photo booth, cloud machine, and animated monogram, which I highly recommend all. He also uses an app system called Vibo, which was rad. It actually provides a timeline for each event and a music library to add each and every song you want him to play. DJ pat we'll meet with you either online or in person to give a tutorial on how it works which was really helpful. What else can we say other than Pat you crushed it! Thank you for one helluva a good time!
Cheers,
Josh & Jackie

Besides the people at our wedding, I knew the next most important thing was the music. I did a lot of research and found Pat. This was the best decision I made for our wedding. He was truly incredible! He was able to get three generations of people to dance the entire night. He took our suggestions, listened to what our guests wanted and played a great mix of music. He also did great work with the up lighting and photobooth. You will not be disappointed hiring Pat for any event that you are putting together.

We had DJ Pat for our wedding, and he was awesome! He worked seamlessly with our live musician, and during the free dance portion he got the party started! We gave him free rein on the playlist, and just trusted him to do what he does best. He really delivered! Our guests had a lot of fun and were having the time of their lives on the dance floor. Pat accommodated song requests from the crowd without any issues, ranging from K-pop to salsa. We had a diverse guest list, and Pat got everyone to have fun! Thanks so much Pat, for being there at our wedding! It was an awesome, unforgettable night!

Sound Prodigy, DJ Pat, DJ Danny and the team were absolutely amazing as our DJ for our wedding! From the planning stages, DJ Pat was super open and easy to talk to about details/logistics and different services they provided, and took the time to make sure every DJ/MC detail was taken care of; we ended up going with both DJ and up-lighting services from them and all were great. Uplights were super beautiful and added the perfect touch to our venue; and DJing from DJ Danny for the entire wedding was great! Their app is super easy to use to select songs we wanted, and he helped make sure everything went smoothly through the evening; also when dancing started, the floor was never empty through the whole night!

Do not under estimate the impact of an experienced and professional DJ. We were recommended DJ Patt through our friend and hired him for our wedding. We are very happy with our decision. From the begining to end, Patt gave us advisement, helped us organize our music and timeline. Our wedding ceremony ran smoothly and the dace floor was energized and packed the entire time. We have recieved feedback from our guest that the most enjoyable memories all happened on the dance floor. We would highly recommend DJ Patt services.

Pat helped make our nerd-lite wedding dreams come to life. We chose to sprinkle in some Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Marvel and Disney through different songs throughout the night and Pat wove them in seamlessly. He was also the best hype man to get the dancing started. The app that he has to help you choose music and set up your timeline is incredibly user friendly and was really helpful. So glad we were able to book Pat, he helped put the cherry on top of our wonderful wedding.

DJ Pat was such a great person to have as 'the host' of our wedding day. From all the prep work we did together before the wedding, making sure we had everything lined up and he was taking into account our ideas and opinions, to then his amazing presence and flow of the day with his emceeing and DJing from start to finish. He brought the best energy and professionalism to our wedding and he really brought the party to the dance floor! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ, as he made it so easy + such a great experience.

Pat from sound prodigy was amazing!!!! He was so helpful and truly made my wedding a blast!! I could not have asked for a more organized better experience with a dj. Would highly recommend especially for Disney brides who don’t want to spend an insane amount on a Disney dj!!!

OMG you guys- DJ Pat is THE BEST! I hired Sound Prodigy/DJ Pat for our 04.02.23 micro-wedding at the La Jolla Shores Hotel. We had a toes-in-the-sand ceremony followed by cocktail hour at the hotel's garden area, followed by the reception upstairs in one of their ballrooms. DJ Pat expertly changed locations 3 times to provide us with ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music. No equipment or sound issues, no break in music. He also provided us with photo booth services, an antique answer phone, upgraded lighting, and a custom monogram that I personally designed. Trusting ONE person to provide us with ALL of those services scared me, but he came through and didn't let us down- he exceeded our expectations in every way.
During the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner... the music was appropriate, from my list, and the volume wasn't so overpowering. It was perfect! During dancing- DJ Pat knew just the right songs from my list to keep the party alive. When you only have 30 people from 3 different generations, that's not an easy task- but Pat did it! We partied hard the whole time. I honestly thought people would leave early, but everyone stayed until the very end, dancing the night away!
I hired DJ Pat without visiting him or meeting him in person, I didn't have friend or family recommendations since I planned my wedding from another state. I took a chance on him and you should too- he won't disappoint!

DJ Pat was phenomenal through the whole process. From the first meeting where he thoroughly explained everything, to the follow up meeting and final details. The app was amazing and so easy to use. He kept our dance floor poppin and active the whole night and our guests had so much fun (as did we). He matched music to our preferences and we were able to sing and dance for the entire dancing portion. He was early for set up on day of, provided all equipment needed, and was very professional. He matched his tie to our wedding colors! You won’t regret going with DJ Pat.

We had DJ Pat for our recent wedding. I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about DJ Pat, and our experience with Sound Prodigy. Our wedding turned out better than I could've dreamed, and we have DJ Pat to thank. His experience and knowledge, not only in regards to DJ services, but also in regards lighting, reception setup, and even dance floor monograms is unparalleled. This man not only walked us through the planning app step by step, he also handled all of our lighting, and cooked up something special for the dance floor! My wedding planner was young, and perhaps inexperienced. DJ Pat took the time to personally email her with pictures of previous weddings he had done in the same space, showing her how the lighting would look, where power needed to be, and even helped my design the layout of the reception, after my wedding planner kept getting it wrong. He truly went above and beyond anything I could've hoped for. Thank you DJ Pat, for everything! You saved our wedding, and we will never forget you!

Pat was our DJ for our wedding 06/17/2022 and was excellent. Never once was my wife and I worried about what music to play during our big day. Every phone call with Pat was reassuring, as he spent the time to listen and get our curated event right. The tools Pat and his team provided also make the planning super easy. If you want to be like me and customize every song it’s super easy, or you can use the top hits Pat’s tool suggests from different genres. Pat was at our event early and super organized, he also made sure to follow the rules and regulations at our venture to a T. Pat was also polite and friendly towards our guests, we would definitely recommend Pat as a DJ !! He will make your wedding special too!
