We could not have been happier to have Zeb and Sounds Elevated provide the music for our special day. From the moment that we first spoke on the phone, we knew he had to be our DJ...

. He was easy to talk to, open to the ideas that we had, and clearly had a deep knowledge of music across generations and genres. This was important to us, as music is central to our relationship and we had a very particular vision for the different kinds of music at different parts of the wedding. Zeb was able to pull it all off with ease. Above all, we wanted people to dance—really dance. Zeb made that happen, just as we had hoped. He was able to keep the energy high by seamlessly playing hit after hit. He also used his DJ Live Fusion arrangement to full effect. For our wedding, he brought a saxophone player and a drummer, and they blended in perfectly into the music that he played for the night. We still don’t know how they fit the music so perfectly, but some of the most memorable moments from that evening’s dance were when Zeb featured the musicians at key moments. Zeb made the process of choosing our music super easy. He had a detailed intake form that allowed us to specify everything we wanted, and all we really had to do was send him Spotify playlists that he could use and also use as jumping off points. It really doesn’t get easier. Also, he was super patient with us when we made last minute changes to the playlists and also to the speeches that would be given on the wedding day. Because Zeb is so organized and experienced, nothing seemed to phase him and he gave us the impression that everything we wanted was easy to pull off and we had no reason to worry. Zeb himself was just the best person to work with. When he arrived early that day at the venue, he came around to find us and introduced himself again in person. He has a real warmth, kindness, and charisma to him. This was essential to how smoothly the wedding went along, as he was able to signal transitions between phases of the wedding in a way that was comfortable and made sense to everyone. There were no awkward moments between phases of the wedding, and we credit Zeb with that. He was on top of it at all times, and had a genuine and infectious enthusiasm that kept the energy at high. He’s truly a master of ceremonies and simply the person you want! We give the highest recommendation to Zeb, Sounds Elevated, and the DJ Live Fusion option, which genuinely exceeded our expectations.

This is a long overdue review from our Healdsburg wedding (August 2024), but our DJ, Ian, along with his live drummer and saxophonist, were absolutely all-time! The communication d...

uring the planning process was seamless, and they completely killed it on the day, creating the most incredible energy. We had so many guests compliment us on how fun the dance floor was, and it was all thanks to them!

madie d

cannot recommend sounds elevated enough!! from our first interview with them to the big day, they were always so professional, helpful, and kind. they always offered their expert o...

pinions when we needed them, but never tried to pressure us into a higher cost package. my fiancé and i were most nervous about the music bc the thing we really cared most about was a bumping dance floor so it was scary to hire someone we’d never heard play live but oh my god Disco E (along with the live drummer + saxophonist) brought the damn house down!!! every song was a banger and our guests had SO much fun — so much so that when Disco E finally had to end the set due to our local noise curfew, everyone kept chanting “one more song! one more song!” lolol. also if you’re on the fence about getting the premium lighting package, i would say i’m really happy we ending up adding that on — our wedding was at a campground and i was so pleasantly surprised with how their lighting really transformed the space!! it was awesome.

Zeb & the entire Sounds Elevated team were INCREDIBLE!! Couldn't recommend more highly. They were so easy to work with throughout the entire process and absolutely crushed the actu...

al music at our wedding. Not only that, Zeb was very flexible on wedding day, and stayed an extra 2 hours because people wouldn't leave the dance floor!! We did DJ Fusion for our reception and a silent disco afterparty, for around 190 people. All events were outside, and it sounded great. The team was well prepared and kept the dance floor packed the whole night. They also handled all mics & acoustics at the ceremony and during dinner & reception, so that we didn't need to think about it at all. That ended up being invaluable. They are genuine experts. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a unique, fun, and memorable music at their wedding!! Sounds Elevated are your people.

Chiara L

INCREDIBLE! We had such a wonderful experience with Sounds Elevated from start to finish. We originally found them since we were interested in a DJ Live Fusion for our wedding. We ...

really enjoyed how personable Zeb was on the initial call and trusted him completely for our wedding. We chose the Zenith Package so that we could definitely get DJ Zeb plus 3 areas of sound and more lighting and we are so happy we did! They were really great with guidance in choosing music and how to create different playlists for the different parts of the wedding day. The final call before our wedding was extremely helpful and Zeb is just a really nice person who also gave great advice! I was also particularly grateful to Zeb for remembering certain details I told him were important to me during our phone call and he really made sure to prioritize each one during our wedding. The band was incredible and the dance floor was packed all night long! It was really hard for me to step away to do anything else because every song was perfect and the energy was great! I cannot recommend them enough every guest has told me countless times they had so much fun! Thank you so much Sounds Elevated everything was perfect!!!!

t. We also opted for the Live Fusion package, which added live musicians to the DJ set—an incredible touch that elevated the experience. Sounds Elevated handled all of our reception music and lighting seamlessly, while also coordinating a string trio for our ceremony and a professional photo booth. The string players learned and performed our requested modern songs as classical renditions, making our ceremony feel even more special. Zeb's deep musical expertise was evident from our very first planning call. He took the time to understand our vision and put together a playlist that truly reflected our style. The custom edits he made for our first dance and wedding entrance were perfect, and his lighting setup created an amazing party atmosphere. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the energy, music, and live elements throughout the night. Sounds Elevated exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’re so grateful to have had them as part of our wedding. If you want a DJ who will bring your celebration to life, look no further!

If you want a wedding that’s full of energy, unforgettable moments, and a dance floor that’s never empty, look no further than Sounds Elevated and King Most! We could not be more p...

leased with our experience. King Most absolutely crushed it—he is a total pro who nailed every aspect of our wedding, from setting the perfect vibe during the ceremony to keeping the dance party going all night long. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the DJ was, and the dance floor was packed all night. The music selection was perfect for every moment of the evening—he knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the energy high. We were beyond impressed with how he seamlessly blended different genres to cater to all ages and tastes. Plus, Sounds Elevated also provided beautiful live music that added such a lovely touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was exactly what we envisioned—and more! The combination of live music and DJ sets made our wedding feel like a truly special experience. If you want the best energy, vibe, and DJ for your wedding, King Most is your guy. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for how he made our celebration unforgettable. Don’t hesitate—100% book him and Sounds Elevated for your event. They will bring the party, and you won’t regret it!

one and drums, who were incredible). He even provided us with an afterparty playlist. Everything about the music at our wedding went perfectly, and we got rave reviews from our guests about the live music and Zeb’s song choices. The dance floor was packed for the whole reception. We would happily reuse Zeb and Sounds Elevated for future DJ needs. Don’t think twice about booking Sounds Elevated!

Katie F

Robin was absolutely amazing!!! He perfectly picked up on the vibe of our event, and played both classic tunes for our older guests to high-energy remixes that got the millennials ...

hyped. We received many compliments on our DJ. He also played beautiful music for our ceremony created a truly magical atmosphere. We couldn't be happier with the wedding day turned out—it exceeded all expectations thanks to Robin's energy and talent. Throughout the entire planning process, Robin and the Sounds Elevated team (Zeb) were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

Rachael K

Our wedding day was all about celebrating the love story that began on a dance floor. Finding the perfect DJ to capture that energy and create an unforgettable night was paramount....

Thankfully, fate (and a little online research) led us to Zeb and Sounds Elevated. He became the first vendor we booked, and for good reason. From the moment we connected, Zeb's professionalism and attention to detail shone through. He took the time to understand our "meet-cute" story and how we envisioned music shaping our wedding. We opted for the Zenith package, which perfectly fit our needs. Zeb wasn't just a DJ; he was an experience architect. He welcomed arriving guests by playing the acoustic guitar, creating a warm and intimate ambiance. The ceremony music was both peaceful and sentimental, setting the perfect tone. During the cocktail hour and dinner, Zeb curated a lively yet relaxing vibe that kept the conversation flowing. But the true magic happened on the dance floor, thanks to Zeb's expert curation and seamless transitions. Zeb seamlessly transitioned the energy from classic favorites to a club vibe. The lighting included in our Zenith package enhanced the party experience even more. A few of the many highlights include an impromptu conga line, a dance circle, our dads dancing to hip hop, our friends gathered around singing at the top of our lungs. Our guests, even the self-proclaimed non-dancers, were tearing it up! The praise for the music selection and overall dance floor energy hasn't stopped. Thank you, Zeb, for transforming our wedding into a night we (and our guests) will remember.

rings, pianist, and DJ w/ Sax fusion. Chris Fox 100% executed on our vision for the wedding vibes. The dance floor was electric. He also kept the pace of the reception as our trusted MC always on track and was able to read the room and make adjustments as needed.

This review for Zeb (and the whole Sounds Elevated Team) is long overdue. Zeb is not only an incredible musician in his own right but plays the role of musical conductor with equal...

panache. A true “Jack of All Trades.” Some of the many hats he wore for our wedding include: -He played solo guitar for our ceremony -Lined up a jazz quartet for the happy hour -Setup the party lighting (party but classy) for the reception -Setup a photo booth for guests to take fun photos (a big hit btw) -DJ’d with a live accompaniment combo for the reception - stayed up way later than we asked him to, and DJ our afterparty (which was a VERY different vibe than the reception). He was hustling for easily 10 hours straight. And every single element he contributed to the festivities was top tier. My older cousin, a professional musician for many years, was blown away by the level of talent. It’s been almost a year since the wedding and we still get compliments about the entertainment. He and his team went above and beyond. Easily the best “value” for anything we spent money on for the wedding. I strongly recommend meeting with Zeb and gearing his philosophy/approach to weddings/events.

We found our perfect venue for our rustic fall wedding at the Reinstein Ranch and our venue coordinator gave us recommendations for entertainment based on what we were looking for...

. Going with Sounds Elevated was an easy decision and we cannot speak highly enough about Zeb and Lindsey. Throughout the stressful planning process, Zeb was relaxed and professional. He helped us understand our options, the timeline, and was more than accommodating with last minute adjustments. We appreciated their flexibility and the consistent communication throughout the planning process. We went with the Elevated Package with the Advanced Floor Lighting, up lighting, acoustic guitar, and classic photo booth with a custom engraved memory book and couldn’t have been happier with the decision. Zeb crushed it on the acoustic guitar during the ceremony and kept the dance floor going all night with his awesome mixing skills. We opted for more of a party vibe over traditional wedding songs and Zeb hit the nail on the head. Our guests raved it was the most fun they had at a wedding, and that was what we were going for. Lindsey was great and the photobooth was a hit. We paid for an extra hour and the booth was active all evening. Our guests loved using the variety of props to make some great memories. We enjoy looking back at the photos and the messages our guests wrote in the memory book. If you are looking for a company who understands the small details matter, and a staff who go out of their way to make the planning process easier, look no further. We had a great experience with Sounds Elevated and cannot thank Zeb and Lindsey enough for being a huge part of what we feel was a perfect night! -Angie & Anthony

Zeb and the Sounds Elevated Collective exceeded our expectations for our recent wedding. From the initial consultation to the last song played Zeb demonstrated professionalism, cr...

eativity, and a genuine passion for music. His attention to detail and willingness to customize every aspect of the experience made our wedding unforgettable. What sets Sounds Elevated apart is Zeb's dedication to creating personalized musical experiences. He took the time to understand our preferences and vision and then executed it flawlessly. The seamless blend of classical music during the ceremony, light jazz for dinner, and a high-energy dance floor packed until the last song was what made it all so special. Indeed, a pro, do not hesitate to hire Zeb and Sounds Elevated.

Zeb was wonderful as our wedding DJ! We also loved having Alex Attard on sax and Marlon Aldona on drums. They were all super talented, would highly recommend!

Marissa L

Sounds Elevated really elevated the whole night. From the lightning to the music to the photo booth they were amazing. I have to give a shout out to Chris our DJ for the night! He ...

played all the songs we had requested with a great spin. He was able to read the vibe of the room and get everyone dancing and kept them dancing. We also had a live trio who accompanied Chris on stage and they were amazing. Everyone was talking about how cool it was to have a DJ along with live instruments. Leading up to the event the company was hands on and great with reminders. I found them through my event planner, Jenni Grubba Events and I highly recommend Sounds Elevated! Thank you so so much for the magical night.

Sarah H

Sounds Elevated is the best! Super professional and always responsive. After working with Zeb for many years in the corporate event world, hiring for my wedding was a no-brainer. ...

From ceremony strings and emcee services to DJ/Fusion + silent disco with epic dance floor lighting, Sounds Elevated is FIRE. To top it all off, they also have a great photo booth (So Good Photobooth) with the black and white GLAM filter (Kardashian vibes). Our guests LOVED IT and we 're so happy to have digital copies. Zeb is the best, I recommend him to everyone.

All the praise to Percy Scott, our wedding's DJ/MC!! A charismatic, kind, mood boosting hype man who brings his A-game from the technical to the creative. We booked the Elevated ...

Package with additional up-lights. The Client Questionnaire was SUPER useful in helping us brainstorm and craft an itinerary & playlists. Our families & friends enjoyed hearing particular songs we requested in Spanish and Hebrew. The outdoor & indoor sound systems, wireless mics, and additional lighting were all prepared on time and sounded/looked top notch. Percy ensured we don't drift off schedule, although we and our guests could have kept partying on the dance floor well past our venue's closing time.

Julia A

Hands down, one of the best parts of our wedding. This team listened to exactly what we wanted to executed perfectly! Would highly recommend Sounds Elevated.

Congrats, you’ve found the best wedding DJ. DJ Mancub (Chip Corwin) and Sounds Elevated provided comprehensive sound for our entire wedding. It began with some live guitar down on ...

the lawn, then they had our officiant and myself on lapel mics for the ceremony. They moved the live guitarist up for the cocktail hour and then had a perfect dinner playlist ready to go. Chip MC’d the entire event beautifully for us. Everything about the process is fully customizable so you can have the sound you want at your wedding. That was all fine and well and then their true expertise came out. My friends and I go to a lot of live music and music festivals and DJ Mancub had the perfect set planned. He seamlessly incorporating classic wedding hits that kept my family on the dance floor, and transitioned into the modern music my friends and I love to party to. The dance floor was bouncin. The equipment including speakers and lighting were professional grade. The sound was amazing. Chip and Sounds Elevated were extremely easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. Our wedding planner noted that this is the best sound team she has worked with thanks to a combination of their wedding day professionalism as well as planning and communication leading up to the event. I cannot recommend DJ Mancub and Sounds Elevated enough. P.S. Thanks Chip, that Smells Like Teen Spirit remix was sick, all the Fisher bangers were appreciated, and the White Lotus remix was oh so sexy.

All of our guests are still telling us how great the music was and how much fun they had. We worked with Zeb leading up to the day to plan out the ceremony music and what kind of music we wanted to have played at the reception and he completely nailed it. They were also super flexible and changed up the music last minute when we asked them to. They were all super cool, positive guys, so easy to work with, and really made the night unforgettable. Definitely book with Sounds Elevated, you will not regret it!

your event perfect. Chris took time out of his day to call us and get to know us before the wedding day. We gave a list of our favorite songs and Chris knew exactly when to play them, added songs that were like it and asked questions that we wouldn’t of thought of for our wedding. Our guest still talk about how much they had dancing the night away. He was so kind and easy to work with. We couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend working with Chris for your wedding or special event.

Jessica G

Zeb started helping us out from the beginning by editing our dance song to shorten it to about 1:30 to give to our dance instructor. A month before the wedding he sent over a quest...

ionnaire to get some basic information and we started collecting a playlist. A couple of weeks before the day, we had a quick call to go over everything and we instructed him to take all the (non-ceremony) songs as inspiration only and that he was free to DJ as he pleased to that vibe. On the day of, he nailed the vibe exactly, playing many of the inspiration songs but also many others that fit the vibe. There was a slight miscommunication during the ceremony between our planner and the DJ on when to play the song the bride walks out to but he recognized the mistake and apologized for it later. The reception dance party was great, we had so much fun and everyone was out on the dance floor. We told him that after the first song, if the older people were still around then he didn't do it right. If you're an EDM fan and you're wondering if you need to play "wedding songs" - don't bother, and pick Zeb to DJ!

r again! Zeb and the team went above and beyond, and Zeb was so helpful answering my many questions since I had not experienced a DJ/live experience before. I can't say enough good things about Sounds Elevated and how important the DJ experience is. Our guests would have danced the whole night away if we let them! DJ King Most and our extremely talented musicians kept the dancing going and made it such an experience, not to mention knowing just what song to play. We had almost every guest tell us how blown away they were by the music, and that it was their favorite part of the whole day. Even those who would normally sit out were on the dance floor :) I can't recommend Sounds Elevated enough, they were such a memorable part of our wedding day!

Jackie B

Zeb was the absolute best DJ /MC we could have asked for. He was organized, professional, and kept the dance party going all night! Highly recommended.

Emily B

Zeb and his band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! I spent a long time looking at vendors for our wedding and Zeb really checked all the boxes, offering a ...

DJ/Live music hybrid option. We had Zeb DJ and also added live drums, guitar, and saxophone - it was a HUGE hit with our guests! On top of an incredible performance at our reception, Zeb was so easy and chill to work with throughout our wedding process. He was patient with our postponements (due to COVID) and always made me feel at ease in the conversations we had (which is an added bonus for an overwhelmed bride!) I liked that we could choose to be as hands-on as we wanted, providing him exact songs/playlists through Spotify. But in the event we didn't have time to select a song of playlist for part of the wedding, Zeb could easily fill in the blanks and there was no doubt in my mind that Zeb would choose the best selection that fit our vibe throughout the wedding and ceremony. We still get compliments from our guests about the DJ/band crew at the wedding. (The Sax is a must!) Thank you for giving us a celebration we will never forget! :)

We felt like we were in great hands throughout our experience working with him and couldn't recommend him more to others. I will be working with him again for future events.

t a cool fusion they were and how it sounded incredible. Zeb played guitar during our cocktail hour which was spot on and perfect for our vibe. He is super easy to work with, understanding and went above and beyond to help us have the wedding music, vibes and flow that we had hoped for. We can't wait to relive it through our wedding video! :)

I can't believe it's been a year since our wedding! I've been meaning to write this review for a long time to spread the word about how amazing Zeb and Sounds Elevated is. Plannin...

g a wedding during 2020 had its challenges as Im sure you know. We originally booked Sounds Elevated to basically do ALL the entertainment at our wedding of over 300 people. Zeb was going to play music for the ceremony, then set up with the band for the reception, then DJ the silent disco until they kicked us out! He was also going to set up the photo booth. We were super excited to throw a huge party for all of our friends and Sounds Elevated was all for it! Then, well, you know how 2020 went. The big party was cancelled but we wanted go through with our wedding. We kept planning smaller and smaller gatherings until we were just going to elope in the woods. Our people were not having it, with 2 weeks notice a good friends backyard was offered for the reception. We set up the ceremony on a dock on Donner Lake. Sounds Elevated came to the rescue! Zeb had kept our date open! Even though they had to haul out early to make it back to SF the next morning, they came and rocked our reception! Zeb was great, he set up by the dock to play acoustic guitar for us as I walked down the aisle and we said our I do's. It all was thrown together so quickly he even set up his go pro so we have video of the ceremony. I can't express how thankful I am for going above and beyond! For the reception, the band played what we requested and also got super funky! They are all super talented musicians that Sound Elevated had to put together last minute. The wedding was in September so no one had seen live music in a while and everyone was so happy to be dancing! Several neighbors even wrote our friends to tell them thank you for the awesome live music! The band even had people dancing in their own backyards! To sum it up, Sounds Elevated came through for us, last minute, when we thought the party wouldn't happen. They were professional, fun, funky, and went above and beyond and made our big day perfect! I really cant thank them enough for putting in the work and pulling it off!

We had such a positive experience working with Zeb and their team. Zeb was so easy to work with and very understanding when we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. We e...

nded up with Patrick as our DJ who was very good at communicating and very positive and easy going to deal with on our wedding day. His interpretation of the crowd and choice of music outside of our own was spot on. I am so happy with how smoothly things went, and highly recommend this vendor. They really do seem to care about their clients, and we appreciate them so much.

Amazing wedding DJ! Chip was super communicative, fairly priced, and he did a great job listening to the style of music we wanted to hear and then riffing off of that. He also wa...

There was not a single thing Zeb could have done better! He was professional and helpful from a business standpoint, and a personal standpoint, through all of the Covid mayhem. My ...

new wife and I are not great at picking music but he helped us through and ended up creating the most amazing party atmosphere. On top of his impeccable reception DJ skills he also handled all of the audio requirements of the ceremony, including helping my brother in law, who was playing the music for the ceremony, set up and really giving him the added confidence boost to play his best. Zeb has the best attitude and really made us feel comfortable and at ease the entire day. You are the best Zeb! Thanks

Ian really knocked it out of the park for our wedding! The DJ and band combination was epic and they were able to give us the ska band feeling we dreamt of at our wedding. We are ...

so thankful to Zeb for his communication and working with us throughout the pandemic reschedulings and all of the craziness. We would not hesitate to hire Sounds Elevated again cause they are great DJ's with great musicians and are really honest good people.
