Soundwave and DJ Ray were fantastic! They kept our dance floor going, our venue beautifully illuminated, and the cold sparklers are still something our guests are talking about weeks after our wedding. They were a pleasure to work with, had an easy to navigate planning portal, and worked alongside us to create our perfect vibe. I would use them again and recommend them highly.
Soundwave Entertainment was incredible. DJ Les and Wendy were an amazing team. Their communication was clear and professional from start to finish. Les kept the energy high all night with perfect song selections and smooth transitions. The music flowed effortlessly, and every moment felt natural and upbeat. Wendy made coordination easy and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for better people to handle our wedding entertainment. Highly recommend them both.
Our wedding DJ was DJ David, he was awesome! He read the crowd well and played the perfect music. He stuck to our do and don’t play list. He was great with crowd work and with us through the night. Would definitely book again!!
The team at Soundwave Entertainment did a phenomenal job making our wedding day a moment we’ll never forgot. From the moment we met, the team was very detailed with our timeline and song requests, making the reception a party many people tell us has been the best night ever. The CO2 blaster was also a crowd favorite! Thank you to Wendy and DJ Ray for the outstanding service and a party we will forever cherish.
I had no problems up until it was time to hit the dance floor. The DJ came to me ensuring he’d play everything we requested, he did not do that. The song list we sent was to cater to our mostly black crowd, but I feel like he basically just played whatever he wanted. It should have been an all hip-hop/R&B track list but he put some Latin music, some techno, house, and a lot of mixes of hip hop songs some we didn’t even request. At times people would start to dance he would change the song making people leave the dance floor including me, the groom. I just don’t feel like the playlist was curated to us. He was very professional but we would not book this company again for any future events.
We hired Soundwave Entertainment for our wedding and they exceeded every expectation. From the moment the music started, the energy in the room was electric! The DJ was not only professional and punctual but knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the dance floor alive all night long.
Their setup was sleek, the sound quality was crystal clear, and the lighting created the perfect vibe. Every transition was smooth, and the playlist was a flawless mix of our requests and crowd-pleasers.
Multiple guests came up to us raving about how great the music was — it truly made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a DJ service that’s professional, passionate, and guaranteed to elevate your event, look no further than Soundwave Entertainment.
Highly, highly recommend!
Soundwave was awesome to work with! One of my biggest priorities for our wedding was the DJ, and I was so pleased with DJ Les and Wendy! The whole process was so detailed and catered to us as a couple and what we wanted for the vibe at the wedding. They were so responsive if we ever had any questions! DJ Les nailed it day of and he was so awesome!
Soundwave was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Wendy's process of planning is great and very organized. The day of the wedding, Wendy was there personally with DJ Ruben to make sure the wedding went perfectly. The ceremony sound equipment worked perfectly, and everyone could hear us and our officiant without a problem!
DJ Ruben was THE BEST DJ I have ever had the pleasure of being in the same room with. We gave him some must plays but truly let him lead the way and he surpassed our expectations! He had everyone on the dance floor from grandparents to young friends. Our guests cannot stop raving about the music and the energy of Ruben! He was also a kind and genuine human. We are so glad we had him for our wedding! 100X would recommend DJ Ruben!
DJ Ruben was an incredible DJ for our wedding on May 3. Not only was he attentive to every request, his timing is perfect, he played all of the right music, and kept everyone on the dance floor!
Having Soundwave as part of our special day was wonderful. DJ Ray made sure that we had a truly memorable experience. He was able to adjust last minute changes and we appreciated his adaptability. We requested most of our day to be in Spanish which they were able to accommodate instantly. Wendy was quick to get back to us with any questions we had and was very understanding. We also got comments from many guests letting us know that the DJ was great and music choices were “on point”. We did an add on for up lights which elevated the experience for dinner and dance time. We definitely recommend working with Soundwave.
Ruben did a phenomenal job at our wedding! He was able to mix many different genres of music to flow together and keep the party going - whenever he noticed music was not a crowd favorite, he seamlessly transitioned into the next song. He also did great job following following our timeline but also making adjustments when needed (inclement weather changed the flow of our wedding a bit, but Ruben was able to adjust on the spot and nothing felt out of place!). We recommend Soundwave as they have a great process for selecting music and even have great suggestions if you're unsure what to play during your big day!
We hired Soundwave Entertainment for our DJ and uplighting, and they were absolutely phenomenal! David, our DJ, was incredible—his transitions were seamless, and he kept the energy flowing all night long. He truly hit every generation with his song choices, and everyone had nothing but good things to say. The dance floor was never empty! Wendy, the owner, was the sweetest. She walked us through everything from the start and really helped us understand our uplighting options. Thank goodness she did—when our ceremony had to be moved indoors due to rain, the uplighting completely transformed the space and made it feel so magical. We’re beyond happy with our decision to go with Soundwave and would recommend them in a heartbeat!
Les with Soundwave Entertainment was wonderful! He played all our must plays songs and picked the best songs to fill the rest of the night. We got so many rave reviews from our wedding guests on the music choices including the instrumental disney songs during dinner! Our guests all had such an amazing time and we will remember our wedding forever. Thank you Les!
We had the absolute best experience with Soundwave Entertainment for our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress!
From the very beginning, Wendy (the owner and office manager) was beyond fantastic. I felt so cared for throughout the entire process—she was always quick to hop on a call, answer questions, and offer amazing vendor recommendations. The planning system they have in place is honestly a dream. Their client portal and automated reminders kept us on track with everything—deadlines, upgrades, FAQs—you name it. And the detailed surveys they had us fill out made it so easy to communicate exactly what we wanted. They even offered common options for various wedding traditions, which helped us narrow things down and feel confident in our choices.
We also opted for uplighting, and their venue knowledge blew us away. The second we mentioned our venue, they knew exactly how many lights we’d need to create the perfect effect. It really showed how much experience they have with Orlando weddings. They also gave great song suggestions and helpful advice for navigating tricky family dynamics during announcements.
And on the big day? Absolute perfection. Huge shoutout to the BEST DJ in town—Les Kopasz! His passion, talent, and dedication were on full display. We had a very specific vision: Studio 54 meets modern vibes, skipping most traditions and absolutely no slow songs. Les delivered flawlessly. He was mixing tracks live, reading the crowd like a pro, and kept the dance floor packed all night long. We had four generations dancing together—no exaggeration! The energy never dipped below an 11/10.
Soundwave, thank you for helping create the best night of our lives. Truly unforgettable.
Fantastic communication! Great music choices when I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted.
We had an amazing experience with Soundwave Entertainment. From the beginning, Wendy was super communicative and organized. She also allowed us to add on up-lighting a couple weeks before the wedding, and we're so glad we did. It really accentuated the beauty of the reception space and set off the dance floor when it was time to party. DJ David was also awesome! His timing of the music was spot on. A lot of my guests are shy, but the dance floor was always full! David also worked with my maid of honor last minute to include a song into her speech. I highly recommend Soundwave Entertainment to bring fun and energy to any event.
Amazing choice for our wedding! Wendy made sure to capture all the important details ahead of the big day and DJ David brought it to life! He gave us a detailed call before the wedding to understand our group, what style of music we wanted and ensured he had all the songs we requested. We had a more intimate wedding and we weren't sure if people would dance all night, but because he read the crowd so well we had people dancing all night long. He even played Love Story by Taylor Swift without us requesting it, and it is one of my all time favorites and was so special to be dancing with my new husband to. Everyone raved about the DJ after the wedding! Thank you DJ Dave and team for making the night so memorable!!
We are so so happy with Soundwave Entertainment!! We hired Soundwave for our Feb 2025 wedding and we had an amazing time. The team was so accommodating with amending our contract to add-on additional services and to make sure all details were accounted for the whole day. When I requested a quicker response on a certain contract update, the response was swift and polite, which is super helpful for type A brides like myself! Our DJ was Ruben and he was super kind, approachable, and down to be flexible in the moment! No weddings go totally as planned (including ours) and Ruben totally rolled with the punches, giving my groom and I extra time when we needed it and moving events around in the itinerary when miscommunications happened. Additionally, we kept getting compliments on the music all night, with several people telling us they "wished they could sit down but too many good songs were playing"! Ruben accommodated our specific music requests and kept everyone on the floor dancing and having a wonderful time. The only thing I found odd about the experience is that our DJ did invite himself into the bride's room while my bustle was getting done (between ceremony and reception). He was waiting on us to be ready to announce us to the reception, but it felt like a slight intrusion into a private space. Overall, my groom and I were so happy with the entertainment services provided by Ruben and Soundwave Entertainment, and we recommend them to any couples getting married in the Orlando area!!
We hired them for the lighting and DJ services at our wedding, and they were absolutely fantastic! The lighting setup created a magical atmosphere that perfectly matched our theme. The DJ kept the dance floor packed all night with an amazing mix of music that catered to all our guests. They were professional, attentive, and really understood our vision for the evening. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
Our DJ was helpful in keeping the energy high throughout the evening and played some songs on the fly as we went through speeches. He also sent us pictures and videos at the end of the night which was very nice! However, he did not play the songs we had on our must play list and did play songs on our do not play list. We would have really liked to heard the songs on our must plays that evening. He also skipped over the father/daughter and mother/son dance until after dinner when people had already started leaving.
A huge thank you to Soundwave, Wendy, and Les for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! Les truly understood the vibe we were going for and executed it flawlessly. The added ambiance lighting enhanced the atmosphere beautifully, and I loved how the colors shifted during the dancing—it made the night even more magical. We’re so grateful for your talent and effort in bringing our dream wedding to life!
DJ David was the best, he played requested genres and a good mix to ensure everyone got on the dance floor and stayed there! Wendy was available throughout the process to help with details and provide recommendations as needed!
I highly recommend hiring Soundwave for your wedding! They helped turn our wedding dreams into a reality! They are so easy to communicate with and super responsive. DJ Ruben kept the music entertaining and my husband and I were dancing all night long. They also did the lighting for our wedding and it was perfect! We had cold sparklers for our grand exit and it was the perfect ending to our special day! Soundwave is the best!! I’m so grateful to have had worked with them.
We couldn’t be happier with SOUNDWAVE and our DJ, Les! The cold sparks during our first dance were truly magical and a highlight of the night. Les kept the dance floor packed with a great mix of songs that all our guests loved—many said the dancing was their favorite part of the wedding. If we ever needed a DJ again, SOUNDWAVE would be our first choice. Highly recommend!
We can't say enough wonderful things about our incredible experience with DJ Ray! From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations in every way. Wendy, in particular, was an absolute gem—genuinely caring, detail-oriented, and hardworking. From our first interaction, she made us feel confident that our big day was in great hands.
On the wedding day, DJ Ray's skill and talent shone through. The music was perfectly mixed, effortlessly blending English, Spanish, and Russian songs to create a lively and inclusive atmosphere. Our guests and we couldn’t stop raving about how seamless and fun the music was!
If you're looking for a DJ who genuinely cares about making your event memorable and has the expertise to deliver unforgettable entertainment, look no further. We’re so grateful for their role in perfecting our wedding day!
DJ Ray did an amazing job in our wedding. From creating a playlist that covered songs popular in Puerto Rico and Panamá to acting as the master of ceremony and coordinating the different intervals of the wedding. He felt like family! I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a DJ.
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and highly recommend Soundwave Entertainment to anyone planning a wedding or event. Thank you Les and Wendy Kopasz for helping make our wedding unforgettable
Highly recommend soundwave! From start to finish, they made the planning process seamless and easy. Wendy and DJ Les are incredible-their professionalism and high quality are unmatched. They delivered everything we wanted and more on our wedding day. The vibes were on point the entire night and on top of that, the set up was sleek and modern. Can not say enough about how great soundwave was, 10/10 would book again!
MUST HIRE! Wendy was super helpful and professional from day one. She ensured our event was perfect and DJ Ruben kept the party going all night long.
Ray was our dj at our wedding and he was amazing! He played all our songs and request. He’s very good at getting the crowd going. We definitely want to request him for our future parties ! He is very sweet and personable! I had the best time at my wedding thanks to the great music.
We hired Soundwave for our wedding and had the pleasure to work with Wendy and DJ Rey! DJ Rey was absolutely amazing and made our wedding perfect! The way DJ Rey plays and really brings out the dancing within a crowd of different ages was flawless!
We hired Soundwave through Paradise Cove for our wedding. Overall they were excellent! The process was extremely thorough, and they made sure to ask a ton of questions. It was overwhelming in the beginning to be honest, but necessary to make the wedding go smoothly. I felt everyone at Soundwave went above and beyond for our special day. Our DJ Ruben was great and did a wonderful job picking music and getting everyone to dance. He had an excellent personality and I was happy he was chosen for us!
Choosing Soundwave for our wedding DJ and lighting was the easiest and best decision we could have made! We contacted several other companies, but after my first conversation with Wendy, I knew immediately they were the one! Wendy was such a pleasure to work with! The knowledge, expertise, and genuine care she showed throughout the whole process was second to none! They did an amazing job accommodating our requests and vision for the big day.
Our DJ, David, was truly an honor to work with. He had the perfect mix of professionalism and fun! Our guests had an absolute blast!
Thank you so much Soundwave!
We hired Soundwave for our wedding a couple of weeks ago. We were set up with DJ David and he was absolutely amazing! We used the Winter Park Farmers' Market as our venue and they made the space look beautiful. The uplighting was a great touch. DJ David was fun, outgoing, and very flexible with what our vibe was. We had guests dancing all night and he was great about playing requests. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, much of it because of Soundwave! Even Wendy stopped by during our event, which felt very special and made us really realize that they love doing what they do. It definitely showed at our wedding! Highly recommend!
DJ Les, DJ Rubonix, and Wendy were so incredible to work with! Leading up to the wedding Wendy had me fill out a document to personalize our playlist and she was so quick to respond to any questions I had. Throughout out wedding day guests kept approaching us to tell us how good the music was and everyone had a really hard time leaving the dance floor. We had cold sparklers during our first dance and they worked with us to have them go off at the right moments, making it truly special.
Our wedding was such a dream and we were so happy to have Soundwave Entertainment be a part of it❤️
Choosing Soundwave to provide the soundtrack to the happiest day of our lives was one of our easiest wedding decisions! When we first met with Wendy we felt like she truly understood us and our vision and introduced us to Les on the spot because she knew he would be the right match for our vibe. SO many people came up to us throughout the night to comment on how amazing Les was. Family who I never saw dance were on the dance floor for hours. It was impossible to get me off the dance floor to. I'd put all my faith in Les and Wendy in a heartbeat.
What really, truly blew us away was how Soundwave masterfully handled our ceremony. We had a lav mic on our officiant and groom and two readers that used a mic stand. It was super windy. And let me say, everything was so crystal clear. The audience could hear each part of the ceremony, you couldn't tell it was 15mph winds, and no mic bounced off another. This was the first wedding many of us had been part of/attended where everyone could actually hear vows. On top of all of this, Wendy went the extra mile to ensure I had the entrance song of my dreams that was moderately impossible to get but she worked her magic and I got my dream of making everyone cry ;).
Thank you so much to Wendy and Les who we would definitely consider family from here on out. There's no need to look anywhere else for the best DJ team in the world. We love Soundwave and wish we could live this night over and over again!!
We asked for a party and he delivered! DJ Ray was the best decision we made when wedding planning. His flexibility and warm personality made us so comfortable and got us even more excited to get the night going. 1000/10 if we could!!
We were very pleased with Soundwave from the initial discovery call through the planning process and design of how we would use their services. They do a great job of communicating along the way and have a great intake process to ensure you communicate your musical needs etc.
Additionally, they provide some great add-on services like uplighting and pin spotting which were great add-ons for our reception room. We had a small wedding (under 50 people), and our dance floor was consistently full of guests dancing the night away which we owe to Soundwave. Highly recommend to future couples looking for a DJ provider.
DJ David was incredible and helped keep our wedding moving along and kept the party going! From the very beginning, Wendy was extremely helpful and accommodating as we tried to put together the songs that we wanted for our wedding. As the day got closer, we were able to work closely with David, who ensured us that everything, from the ceremony to the end of the reception, would be running smoothly and be exactly as we envisioned. He always knew how to read our crowd and choose the best songs to play based off what the vibe at any given moment was. We were also lucky enough to have Guitarist Pete for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and this was one of the best choices that we made for our wedding. He was incredibly talented and played all of the songs that we chose so beautifully. We are so thankful that we chose to work with them for our wedding day, and we would recommend them a hundred times over!
DJ Les was amazing!!! From the time the dance floor opened until our private last dance, I was moving. He even got my husband on the dance floor and I had only been able to do that for approximately 2 minutes before our wedding. The music selection was exactly what we had asked for and he played every song we requested! Our music likes ranged from Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to present-day artists, hip hop to jazz and he was able to wind it all together! We also did the photobooth and our ceremony with them and that was super easy! They did our uplighting at the venue and it was gorgeous! The planning process was easy with the website they sent with our "homework." They were super easy to talk to and even made sure they let us know of open houses they would be at so we could go and experience what they could do prior to our day!
We used Soundwave, DJ Ray for our daughter's Quinceanera. Everything from the moment we began talking with Wendy from Soundwave was so flawless. When we spoke with DJ Ray before the party to explain the various styles of music we liked, he made us feel confident he knew what to play. Our daughter suffers epilepsy and both Wendy and Ray asked about light sensitivity. We also talked about what would happen if she had a seizure. Ray already had a plan in place in case of an emergency.
All our guests were on the dance floor the whole night dancing! It was so great to see our Latin, Caribbean and American cultures blend so perfectly through music and dance. Ray was so great at keeping the flow of the event going smoothly and even was able to adjust things on the spot as needed. Oh, I forgot, we also used the lighting and photo booth which was a nice added touch. Our guests loved the photo booth! We LOVED everything. I highly recommend Soundwave amd DJ Ray for your next event!
Wendy and Les were absolutely spectacular to work with. Really, I mean it. We had several calls making sure my vision would come alive and they blew my expectations out of the water. They really can do anything you need them to do and offer different customization packages. My husband and I love EDM music and they really threw down playing exactly what we wanted them too. Even made my biggest request of white sparkler fountains happen when our venue gave them issues about having it. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for DJ services to choose Soundwave!
It was sooooo great to have Soundwave Entertainment for our wedding! The DJ Les Kopasz, was awesome! The music was exactly want we wanted! He asked for a photo booth too and that was so much fun! Everyone loved it!
Thank you so much it was perfect!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Soundwave Entertainment was absolutely amazing! We had no issues with microphones/ volume during the ceremony. Our guests stayed on the dance floor the entire night. I received multiple compliments about DJ Ray Vales! He helped make our wedding perfect!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible talents of DJ Les Kopasz at my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment we connected, their professionalism and enthusiasm were evident. Not only did they perfectly curate the playlist to match our preferences, but they also seamlessly transitioned between songs, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Their ability to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly was truly impressive. DJ Les Kopasz helped create unforgettable memories that will be cherished by my spouse, myself, and all of our guests for years to come. If you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your wedding experience to the next level, look no further than DJ Les Kopasz. Highly recommended!
We had a great experience with Soundwave! From the beginning they were very communicative, and willing to work with us on anything we asked. They consistently kept in contact through the year leading up to the wedding, and have a very thorough survey to make sure you get everything you want. DJ David was wonderful on our wedding day, and so fun to work with. He made our day so much fun, and a huge dance party!
Our experience with sound wave was absolutely FLAWLESS. From beginning to end, they take great care of you and you can tell they care about you. They help make sure your vision comes to life in the most perfect way. Every detail is thought of. If we had to do our wedding day again, we would choose Soundwave again and again.
Our DJ, Ray was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He did such a great job mixing our 2 cultures in our music and making sure everyone was on the dance floor at all times. Ray was the absolute best and we are so thankful he was a part of our special day, he made it fun and truly unforgettable.
Recommend you work with them 10000000%
We can’t recommend Soundwave Entertainment and DJ Ray Vales enough! They were wonderful and easy to work with, prepared for everything, accommodating and made our night perfect and memorable in every way! If you are planning a wedding or event, they should be your first choice!
We highly recommend this DJ and LED Lighting Design company for your wedding. We signed on with Soundwave Entertainment thanks to my lovely wedding coordinator’s recommendation. We specifically hired DJ Ray Vales, Latin DJ specialist, for our wedding as majority of our guests were of Brazilian/Puerto Rican descent. We were thoroughly impressed by DJ Ray’s vast selection of music and his DJ style. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and this made me so happy because this was my only request for my wedding. DJ Ray was extremely laid back and easy to work with. He listened to our requests and worked very hard to make sure that both the bride and the groom were on the same page and happy with his services. The timeline was wonderful and everything flowed smoothly. But by far my best compliment was that our dance floor was PACKED. All of our wedding guests had nothing but good things to say about the music selections!
DJ Dennis kept us on schedule the whole day and kept the party going all night! Truly did such an amazing job and cannot recommend him enough!
