My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Joe. We were incredibly specific about wanting to strike a balance between a 'non-cheesy wedding playlist' and making sure guests of all ages heard their favorite tunes on the dance floor. Everyone--including our wedding vendors (who obviously see a LOT of weddings)--couldn't believe how PACKED the dance floor was all night and we 100% can thank Joe (and Hudson Horns) for that. Many friends called out how fresh and incredible the music Joe played felt--he knew the right vibes at all times and created the best environment. Our reception felt like the most epic dance party/dance club/bar that we got to curate ourselves--I wish we could go back and replay the night 10x over!
We chose to work with Joe over a band and--aside from Hudson Horns during the dancing portion of the night--, we had no other live elements. While I at first was worried we would miss live musicians during our ceremony/cocktail hour, we could not have been happier with our decision. Joe was IMMENSELY helpful in helping us choose ceremony music, find beautiful arrangements of the songs we wanted to walk down the aisle to, gave guidance for first dance timing etc, was extremely helpful in finding music when we were 'stumped' and created the most incredible vibe and environment for our cocktail hour, dinner and (of course) dance portion of our reception. We cannot recommend Joe enough--thank you Sounds Buono for being the absolute best!!
Look no further for a DJ, Joe is the best one out there! We did not leave the dance floor the whole entire night, neither did our guests. Joe was so easy to work with and always willing to set up a time to talk if we had any questions. Joe was very knowledgable about knowing what type of vibes went with the different parts of the day (I.e. ceremony music vs. cocktail hour vs. reception). Also, Joe in combination with the hudson horns was AMAZING.
Joe is the absolute BEST. We’re so grateful to have had him as our DJ. From our first call to the wedding day, everything was seamless. He had the perfect mix of music, keeping the vibes high and everyone on the dance floor. He is beyond professional, kind, and cool! We cannot recommend him enough!!
Sounds Buono brought so much energy and made our dance floor absolutely pop off!! We met with Joe a handful of times before our wedding and he made us so comfortable that everything would go smoothly, and it did!!
Best in class communication, professionalism, and respect for our wishes.
Excellent collaboration with our planner, while doing a great job of bringing all the various elements of music and entertainment together.
We had Sounds Buono and Hudson Horns for our wedding at the Bowery Hotel and they absolutely rocked. We wanted a lot house music but didn’t want to sacrifice the energy of a live band for the classics, so this was the perfect choice. Joe was easy to work with it and always reachable, and took the lead on communication with Hudson Horns for our vision of where they came in. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Where do I begin?! My husband is a musician and I am a hip hop head. Both of us are incredibly picky about music, possibly me more than my husband, shockingly. We told Joe — no wedding classics, no Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Lizzo, etc., while giving him some very specific must-plays throughout the evening — and he totally killed it. Our dance floor was poppin all night and all of our friends and family, even the older crowd, said it was one of the funnest weddings they've ever been to. Joe played a huge part in that!

I can not say enough good things about Joe & Sounds Buono. He is truly a master at what he does. From way before the day he was always quick to answer emails and so easy to work with! On the day of, Joe was able to ensure that the music at all parts of our day from ceremony to entrances to the dance floor was perfect at every moment. My now husband is a self-proclaimed music snob (especially at weddings) and he absolutely loved all of the music all night long. We've had so many friends and families compliment the flow of the day and the dance floor that stayed full from the moment the music played and that is a true testament to Joe's work.
As soon as we got engaged, we knew we would be hiring DJ Joe for our wedding reception. We had been to a few other events that he DJed, and they were ALWAYS incredible. When it was finally our turn, he was even more fun to work with than we had even imagined!! He has incredible taste in music, understood what we wanted, and once he got the party going, it did not stop until the end of the night. Despite having a broken foot myself, I couldn't stop dancing the entire evening!!
We were recommended DJ Sounds Buono by a couple who kept raving about the two weddings they attended where he was the DJ. We listened to his soundcloud and immediately reached out set up a call. Once we chatted, we knew we needed to book him. He understood we wanted a mix of Spanish and English songs to satisfy both cultures in our friends/family but also that our top priority to keep the dance floor full. And Joe delivered!! Song after song, he kept the night/ dance floor lit! A week later and our almost 200 guests have continued to tell us how great the DJ was! Music is definitely the heart to any party, and our Joe kept our party alive!
Joe was our DJ for our wedding recently and he could not have been more helpful, accurate and fun! I gave him various playlists for throughout the day and he played what we requested. We weren’t an easy crowd as the majority of people attending were Irish but Joe was able to read the crowd and play exactly what was appropriate! From Spice Girls to Backstreet Boys to Galway Girl, Joe had everything on point and had everyone of all ages - kids under 5 and women in their 70s up dancing! We enjoyed our experience working with Joe and have nothing but good amazing things to say about him!
Joe is amazing!! We loved hearing all of our favorite songs on the dance floor and our first dance went so incredibly smoothly thanks to his timing!! We had sent quite a long list of do not plays and requests for piano music during our cocktail hour and he honored everything we had asked for and more!! He even let my dad request an encore! He's very professional and kind and looked incredible by the dance floor in his suit and tie!! Perfect fit for us all around!
We used him for our wedding. He was fun and he has great taste in music. It didn’t feel like just another wedding play list!
Joe is the jam. He handled our ceremony music, photo booth, and performed as our DJ. Joe and I have a really similar taste in music and after a couple conversations I knew I had nothing to worry about. I didn't make a long list of plays or don't plays (I had a few and he kept it 100 on that) because I knew I didn't need to. He kept folks dancing all night long. The photo booth is awesome too. Super high quality photographs, great! Book him, you will NOT regret it.
Joe was an incredible DJ- we had the best dance party of all time. Literally everyone was dancing, young and old. He read the crowd and played such a great mix that appealed to everyone. We're actually looking to use Joe again for a company holiday party! He was also a great MC, guiding the wedding while not hogging the mic. Would 100% recommend him for your wedding!
We loved having Joe as our DJ! From our first conversation with him, we knew he understood exactly what we wanted (even when we were struggling to articulate things). Plus, he was a lot of fun to talk to and great to work with.
He did a fantastic job, both at the wedding and the reception. Joe was great at both playing the specific things we requested and picking music throughout the night. He added so much to the whole day, and we are so grateful!
