From my first meeting with Torrie, the owner, I was impressed with how professional she was in my interactions with her. Unlike many vendors who charge a premium for anything “wedding,” she made it clear from the start that she would work with with me to devise an effective lighting strategy that would still work with my budget. And she really came through for me when that strategy changed, and we had to move it into a tent because of weather. Despite the last minute changes, she and her team went into gear and transformed our blah tent into an intimate, beautiful space with fairy lights and chandeliers. Her quick turn around was impressive as well as the composure she lent to a stressful situation. We were very happy!!
Torrie was amazing to work with. Whenever I needed a quick meeting, she worked around my schedule to meet with me and answer any questions we had. The DJ did a great job picking songs at the wedding and kept us dancing.
The lighting was a 5 star rating. It was perfect, and romantic, and done in a timely fashion!
The Dj services were great for the ceremony walk, the first dances, Dinner etc. The disappointment only came during the late night dancing portion of our wedding. The dj we had struggled to read the crowd, played entire songs from start to finish, didn’t have any standard hits saved on his laptop so he was downloading songs as we were trying to request favorites... meanwhile we were in an area where there’s limited service and no WiFi. It was a major disappointment. I just felt like he had zero ability to predict the room. Mind you we are an easy mid 30s crowd. The requests we were making should have been a clue as to what we wanted to hear.
If I could, I would give them 10 stars! The DJ was fantastic! The songs that I wanted to use for the recessional and precessional were not typical songs, yet they were songs special to my husband and I. The DJ had no trouble finding the right songs! My wedding guests danced the night away! With this vendor, I also booked a "last-minute coordinator". Best money I spent on the entire wedding. Katie was amazing. She took all of the stress away! Torrie, the owner, is super sweet also! Will recommend this company to anyone planning an event!
I was recommended Torrie from Steelwood Country Club, where my rehearsal dinner and wedding was. She was so incredibly knowledgeable about what was needed to make my dream come true, the time necessary to put up the draping and also while staying within our budget. The draping truly enhanced the look of our venue and we are so lucky to have had the honor of SouthernSound work with us! If you are in need of draping, call SouthernSound!!
Torrie was fantastic to work with, and she arranged the best DJ (James) and Day-of Coordinator (Mary) we could ask for our wedding! Southern Sounds was incredible, and I would highly recommend them for your DJ and Coordinator needs. Thanks for making our day so fun and stress-free all at the same time!
We went with Southern Sounds as our entertainment. James was our DJ and he was lights-out amazing! I had a special request for him to shorten some songs at certain times for some of our dancing to kick off the evening and he nailed it. He kept the dance floor busy all night and interacted with the crowd! We all had a blast dancing. Everyone in the company was wonderful to work with throughout our wedding planning process... I couldn't recommend James and Southern Sounds enough!
My wife and I were extremely pleased with Southern Sounds. The professional and friendly service provided were top notch, from the planning stages clear through the reception and follow up. We had a difficult venue, with specific requirements and Southern Sounds met every need. They provided outstanding pre-wedding planning advice and were a pleasure to work with. The DJ was highly skilled and clearly an expert in how to set up the speakers and sound equipment. Additionally the music mixes were perfect and left everyone commenting on how great our wedding was. We would HIGHLY recommend working with Southern Sounds and plan to use them again when we need a skilled DJ for music and lighting as well as for our great many anniversary parties!
Thank you Southern Sounds for being excellent!
After me and my husband searched around for a Dj and for someone who was experienced, we went with southern sounds. After seeing their ratings it seemed assuring knowing that they would do a great job. We were very disappointed!!! We were asked to pick songs that we wanted to play and that is fine because it was our day anyway, but that took time. At our wedding on October 22, 2016. My husband had to tell the Dj everything to do. ( we had times written out for certain things) ex: we wanted to be introduced into the reception at 56 seconds, that didn't happen. The Dj acted like he didn't care and that it was his very first wedding. He didn't get the wedding party excited and tried to end the music an hour early! My mom had to go to the ATM and pay him extra time to play. It wasn't extra time, the Dj tried to say that the speeches counted for the time the music could have been played. My husband and I as well as my mom were under the impression that this company was professional. Not at all! Why should the bride and groom and mother of the bride have to worry about these things during our wedding, that we took so much time to make sure it was perfectly done. A HUGE disappointment!
Went with this place for out lighting. A few days before our wedding we noticed it was going to rain so the string lighting we wanted so badly for our venue going house to house we knew wouldn't happened. Tori stayed in communication with us and offered us a beautiful chandelier and string lighting to go under our tent and pushed the pink uplighting under the houses. It was absolutely gorgeous and my wedding guest still rave about how beautiful it was. Only thing is I wanted blue and pink uplighting and only got the pink, which turned out great.
We wanted to go with their DJ packages since we heard how great they were but the prices were a bit steep and went with other options.
You will not be disappointed with their lighting and customer service.
Did an amazing job with draping and uplighting. The drapes and lights are what brought everything together
I used Southern Sounds for my wedding this past June, and they did an over-the-top job! We used them for lighting, draping, day-of coordination, and our DJ. The night was perfect!
I used Southern Sounds at our wedding this past September. They were very easy to work with, professional and friendly. I felt like they really listened to what we wanted and kept the reception on schedule. The music they played was fun and had everyone dancing! We also used them for up-lights and we loved those as well!
I was completely satisfied with Southern Sounds as my DJ company. We paid for the Deluxe package, which was $950, included 4 hours of music and "complete event direction."
Several weeks before my event, I met with a coordinator at the company who asked a ton of questions about my husband and me (what we do, how we met, what we do in our free time, what kind of music we like, who will be at the wedding, etc.). She found out what kind of "vibe" we were going for. They also have pretty extensive paperwork you fill out to make sure you get exactly what you want. They played great music and were really responsive to the mood of the crowd, which I liked. We seemed to have the same goal: keep people partying. It was great!
Southern Sounds provided an amazing energetic dj. He had everyone on the dancefloor all night and was so friendly. He stayed on schedule with everything. Southern Sounds provided an awesome lighting setup too! I highly recommend them for dj or lighting or both! The cost I selected was for all their services, not just dj.
Our DJ was wonderful and definitely kept the party popping while still doing some of the traditional reception festivities. I know our family and friends had a great time dancing the night away and we didn't want it to end. Very professional but down to earth as well. Thank you for everything!
I highly recommend Southern Sounds, they have you fill out a form in the order you want things done at the reception and it helps things to go smoothly. They also had a great personality game and everyone got a good laugh out of the Newlywed game!
I loved working with Southern Sound. Their service before the wedding was amazing. Torrie was very willing to help with all of my needs. At the wedding, our DJ Louis, was very personable and easy going. Everyone had a great time!
Tori at Southern Sounds was wonderful to work with! They did our lighting and DJ for the ceremony and reception. It was beautiful! We were totally pleased! Highly recommend. Katherine, my wedding coordinator, for the day was super sweet and very helpful as well.
They provided such a great atmosphere at our reception! People are still telling us how much fun they had at our reception....thanks to southern sounds!!!!
Torrie from Southen Sounds was absolutely amazing. She directed me and gave a ton of suggestions that were so helpful for someone who has never done this on her own :) My wedding was a destination wedding (I live in Chicago) and most of my guests had no idea there was going to be a DJ. Not only were my guests talking about my awesome photograhper but once they knew there was going to be a DJ they all put their dancing shoes on. Our DJ service was a huge hit. We actually had them stay an hour later, we had such an amazing time. Love Southern Sounds. Great service, and great people.
Can't say enough good things about these guys. They were polite, professinal, ontime, and had everything lined up and ready to go! Everyone loved them! They also did my lighting which was amazing as well.
Jason and Tori are so nice! Other than the payment - I don't think I turned in one peice of paperwork in on time, but they were very patient and understanding. The games they suggested were a hit at the wedding! Also, the lighting made our space look like we spent a fortune. We were so busy speaking to everyone at the reception, if we didn't have Tori there I'm not sure we would have even remembered to cut the cake!
The prices are great! They are so nice and professional - i would definiely recommend them!
Southern Sounds is the best wedding vendor I've had by far! They treated my like a bride and not just like another customer. They listened to my ideas and gave me exactly what I had in mind. They paid me lots of attention on the wedding day and put me first. Don't miss the opportunity to have this company make your wedding everything you want it to be! KD
Jason was on top of things, and had many suggestions on how to get the crowd involved. He was able to get every song I requested, and was one top of the schedule and timeline. I had nothing to worry about!!
we had many questions and changes to our request but were always prompt with a reply!
We used Southern Sounds for our wedding and they were AMAZING! They understood everything we wanted (from lighting to music) and helped make our night perfect. We knew Jason and Torrie were the team for us after our first consultation. I'm so glad we had the chance to work with them!
