Sowa Entertainment

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ than Doug. We knew from our first interview he would be a great fit for us, and credit to Greg Sowa for connecting us with the right guy! He read the room perfectly, took a handful of songs from our playlist and got our "vibe" flawlessly. He also is very mindful of avoiding songs you dislike, and very respectful to the age range of your party. When it comes to versatility, he can be subtle, and then be singing and dancing with the best of them! Numerous guests approached us after the event to comment on how great he was. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with our experience. Bravo, Doug and Sowa Entertainment!

Evin was so fun at our wedding! He was so easy to work with and his communication leading up to the event was so so helpful! He listened to the crowd and made our wedding a Party!

We had Evin and up to the wedding he seemed to be very confident in his ability to do exactly what we wanted. The ceremony was perfect. The reception was spot on, however when it came to the dancing hours it seemed Evin maybe had trouble reading the crowd. He also forgot about our game to give away table centerpieces. The back of the room also claimed they had trouble hearing him. When I spoke to the Sowa manager he refused to take any respective advice to prevent future trouble or take responsibility for any issues that came up during the wedding. I had been more stressed during the wedding about having our guests dance than I should have had to be, but he saw that as a personal problem of my own it seemed. Toward the last half hour (dancing was only and hour and a half) I asked the bridal party to make song suggestions which saved the night. i have seen Evin DJ before and he was fantastic, but my wedding felt a little off for that portion of the night.

Evin Baird was a wonderful guitarist to have set the mood during our wedding ceremony, happy hour, and our first dance. He was super laid back about us getting our exact plan to him, and extremely open to learning pretty much anything we wanted him to play for our ceremony. At one point of deep indecision when deciding on what music to have for the ceremony, we just asked him for suggestions. He replied back with a couple songs which he liked from other weddings, but reminded us that it was our day and we should absolutely feel like we've made our ceremony our own. He continued that supportive nature and provided a calm presence the day of our wedding, working seamlessly with our DJ who he had never met before.

We were very pleased by the service and performance. Michael was extremely helpful from the beginning and we appreciated his prompt responses. We also appreciate the fact that he contacted us only when required, as it was crazy with the amount of correspondence with other parties to set the wedding up. For the performance, Michael was extremely accommodating and self-sufficient. We also believe he enjoyed his time being there! We would not change a thing! We would recommend them to our friends and family for their wedding.

Greg was an amazing DJ, we received so many compliments on the music! The personalized intros are such a nice, unique touch that really makes everyone in the wedding party feel extra special. Highly recommend!

One of the best thing we did for our wedding was hire Greg! Everything was so perfect from how easy it was to plan the wedding and the day of. Greg was incredibly helpful in creating a timeline and was able to switch things around with ease the day of to keep us on track and everything running smoothly. Every song we loved and even ones we didn’t ask for were played and almost all of our guests have been talking about how amazing our Dj was. Thank you so much Greg!! Jessica and Tom

We had a wonderful experience with Greg and Doug from start to finish! My husband and I had a long engagement, but I got in touch with Greg right away because I wanted to have a sense of what everything would cost so we could save up money over the course of 21 months. He made putting together a contract so easy, and when it came time to actually planning, listing song requests, etc., Doug Facetimed with us (since we are in Massachusetts but our wedding was in New Hampshire) and showed us an easy system to keep track of everything we wanted to incorporate in both our ceremony and reception. Everything went as planned!

Greg was an absolutely amazing DJ! From our first meeting where we talked like old friends for hours before we realized we actually had to talk about the wedding, we knew we were in good hands. Greg was thorough, asked tons of questions along the way, and was super flexible when things changed last minute. The introductions he gave our wedding party (that we didn't tell them we were doing!) were an absolute hit. Many of our guests commented on how awesome that was, because they actually learned something about who they were and why we chose them as our wedding party. He had a killer set list that kept people on the dance floor all night. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Without hesitation I would recommend Greg as a DJ for any event. He made our reception personal! Each meeting with Greg was easy and fun! He made planning a breeze.

We had Doug as our DJ and he did a tremendous job and is a great guy. From planning all the way through the day of he was always very attentive and pleasant to work with. The music the night of had everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. My wife and I highly recommend Sowa to anyone in the area looking for a quality DJ service, ask for Doug!

Greg did a phenomenal job! He took the time to meet with us on multiple occasions to go over music selection, dance songs, entry speeches etc. One of our biggest fears was that people wouldn’t be able to hear us during our wedding vows, but Greg ensured that didn’t happen which we greatly appreciated. He had everyone hysterically laughing with his introductions to the bridal party and there wasn’t any point in the night where the dance floor wasn’t packed. He played all the music that we specifically requested before the big day and made sure he avoided the artists we said no to. Everyone had an absolute blast and it couldn’t have happened without him.

Doug was INCREDIBLE as our DJ at our wedding last month!! He really knocked it out of the park. We loved working with him beforehand, our meetings with him went so smoothly and we felt at ease knowing we had an experienced professional to work with. He truly captured the vibe we wanted for the night and was able to keep the majority of our guests on the dance floor all night long! We had a BLAST! Thank you SO much Doug, and Sowa Entertainment for really making our wedding day so memorable! We can't wait to see Doug at our friends wedding again in a few months, we know it's going to be incredible with him as the DJ again!!

We LOVED Greg! He was super flexible with us - we couldn't decide on a few things until the last minute - and made the night so much fun. We had friends stopping us throughout the night to say "I LOVE your DJ!" We especially recommend him for cross-cultural weddings - we had such a wonderful mix of music that people were on the dance floor all night long. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Evin was our wedding DJ and couldn't have been better! He was very attentive in our meetings and a pleasure to work with. Evin maintained the flow of the reception from his announcements and was great at crowd reading to keep the dance party going all night long! We also received many compliments on how well Evin DJ'd and couldn't thank him enough!

Greg was our wedding DJ and he was amazing. My husband and I didn't have a lot of specific music picked out. We had the important moments music chosen, but not really anything for all the other spots that need music in a wedding. We told Greg a little about our taste, as it is pretty wide. As well as what we didn't like. Greg nailed it. All of the songs he played were perfect! The timing of the songs we did request was also fantastic. We got so many compliments about Greg! Greg was laid back, professional and funny. We wholeheartedly recommend him for your wedding or anything else where you'll need a DJ!

We had the pleasure of Doug being the DJ at our wedding. He was very attentive and even brought some lighting when we were unsure if it was necessary. It ended up being perfect! The ceremony music was great and he kept the reception fun. He was very flexible with last minute changes. We were very happy.

Greg and Michael his photo booth assistant were amazing during my wedding. We had a BLAST at our wedding, everything went so smooth and we couldn't of asked for a better night!! Everyone raved about the how fun the photo booth was and how great the music was. The music selections all night were perfect, it got everyone on the dance floor having a good time. Everyone still to this day keeps telling me that it was the best party they have been to!!! Our wedding night was the best night of our lives. Thank you Greg and staff for an amazing job, you guys rock!!!

We had Evin Dj our wedding. He did an awesome job with the ceremony music and microphones...the transitions for all the important moments of the day were done seamlessly and he always gave us (the bride and groom) a 5 min heads up so we' were prepared for what was next and not rushing around. He played a great mix all night and was awesome at taking and playing all the requests. He stuck to our must play and do not play list and it was a true party! Would recommend Evin, at sowa entertainment to all future brides

Even was great! He was very interested in getting to know us and finding out what kind of music we enjoyed.

Evin is the best! Be sure to request him. He was the less expensive option at Sowa but he won't be for long - he's a total pro, easy to work with and an all-around nice guy. So much more our style - fun, laid back, no cheese. He went through every detail and bonded with my husband who is a fellow musician. We were still working things out until the last minute and he was really patient and flexible for both the ceremony and reception with how we wanted timing to work, obscure song requests, variations on parent dances, etc. He showed up early and prepped everyone independently and played music while we were taking pictures. The software they use is great for keeping track of payments and to sort your Must Play, Nice to Have, and Do Not Play list - there are certain wedding songs I hate and not a single one was played. When we ran out of room in our account, we sent Evin emails and he played every one of our requests. Our guests raved about the music and you couldn't keep people off the dance floor until the last song. Highly recommend!

Hired for DJ service and Photobooth. DJ was okay, people were dancing but not what I imagined for my wedding 100% music wise. The reason I am giving a one star is because the photobooth stopped working at my wedding and no one told me. I found out from my guests after returning from my honeymoon. I had no messages in regards to it. The office girl who was once polite, was very, very rude. They blamed it on the manufacturing company and refunded me only the amount of money I paid for the time it was down after me arguing about it as well as speaking with the owner. The owner was supposed to help me get copies from my flashdrive but stopped communicating with me and basically didnt care anymore. Great reviews, great company so I thought. If you're worried about something "going wrong" well it definately can with this company like it did on my wedding day. VERY dissapointed about this still 7 months later.

We worked with Evin at Sowa for our wedding and he did an amazing job! He was fun to work with, played great music all night and even put up with all my guests crazy requests! He found all the obscure songs I put on my playlist and even edited our first dance song to make it perfect! I would definitely recommend him!

Greg made things easy and entertaining! Would highly recommend!

Sowa Entertainment handled our DJ entertainment services and photo booth. Both Greg, our DJ, and Doug, the photo booth attendant, were absolutely fantastic. Everything went so well and we couldn't have asked for a better time. I've had several people ask who our DJ was after the wedding (even 3 weeks later!). Our guests loved his music choice, and two people said that they saw him dancing, which helped them feel more at ease to dance too. It was great!! Overall, we found the process of booking very easy. We had two meetings before the wedding with Greg to get to know each other and so he could get a feel for my fiance and I's styles and personalities. He had the option of meeting via Skype--it was more convenient, especially since we lived pretty far apart. His confidence and professionalism helped us (me for sure!) on the wedding day--I knew that everything would be taken care of, so it was one thing less I had to worry about. The fact that he was familiar with the space was also very comforting! Doug was very nice, and the photobooth was an absolute hit. I loved getting the images on the USB immediately after the wedding--we had such fun looking back at them. The guest book he provided for us to use with the photo booth strips was such a great idea! We keep it on our coffee table and it has been quite the conversation piece. Kim, who helped us with our photobooth details, was great--she was incredibly responsive, usually only taking a few hours tops to answer any questions we had. She helped make the planning of the photobooth, at least in terms of setup and the look of the photo strips, easy. I've heard horror stories about DJ's--playing the wrong music, forgetting the bride and groom's names--but Greg definitely helped make our night perfect. It was great to meet him a few times beforehand because it helped us get a feel for his style and personality. I knew that we were in good hands, which allowed me to fully enjoy the night. It was wonderful!

Greg was an awesome DJ. He took the time to meet with us a couple of times prior to our wedding to make sure he had all of the details down. He did both our ceremony and our reception music which were in two different locations (during a wedding in the pouring rain) and everything was seamless. What I appreciated the most, because I was an overly organized bride, was how he had a personal account for us to fill in our information, make payments, and put in music requests whenever we wanted to add to it. During the wedding our dance floor always had people on it, whether it was slow songs, or more "pop" like music. No one left early which said a lot for how much they were enjoying the entertainment. Greg was enthusiastic and dancing away behind the DJ booth all night, our guests loved his energy. My favorite part was the grand entrance of our wedding party where he had a short description of each person, provided by us from a questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of time. It was hysterical and added a very personal touch to everything. I highly recommend Greg.

We used Greg for dj, photo booth, and uplighting. Everything was perfect and the photo booth was totally worth it. We had Greg do the music for the ceremony, too, and he did a great job. The reception was great and EVERYONE was on the dance floor until the very end. The uplighting looked great, too. Also the intro's that he does for the wedding party were a lot of fun! He also gave an intro for my husband and I with the story of our engagement which was a lot of fun and helped make the intro's feel so much more personal. Great job!

Worth EVERY PENNY! Got a package deal with SOWA Entertainment with DJ Doug Boucher. Loved entertainment. Highly recomend to any bride!

We used Sowa Entertainment (DJ Greg Sowa) for our photobooth. They were the cheapest I could find (yes, that worried me a little). However, I got some of the best pictures of my wedding out of this! Everyone LOVED it! They set up in the coat closet area of our venue (a large space that was not needed due to the time of year we were married). They were very accomodating about timing/pricing. I was concerned about people being off doing the photobooth during important times like speeches and dances and things, so what we did was this: it cost $600 for 3 hours. Plus $15 per half hour of 'downtime' and $20 for the prop box. This included the flashdrive at the end of the night of all the images for us to print (both in regular picture format and in photostrip format). It also included 2 photostrips for every photo session, and we designed the stip ahead of time with our names and date and colors. So we had them available from 6pm when everybody arrived (we were off doing pictures), until 7. Then they were down while we did dances, speeches and dinner. Then they were up again from 8-10. All for $650 total. The guy running it was super nice, found my husband before he left to give him the flashdrive, and apparently let whatever was going on in there go on. Now that I've seen the pictures, I can see that people got a little rambunctious in there. It made for great pictures, but I'm surprised he let so many people in there at once. I suppose no one was close to the camera set up so it wasn't a concern and I'm glad. Your guests can also purchase pictures off their website, but I put all of ours on facebook anyway, so no one really needs to pay for them.

One of the biggest worries I had leading up to the wedding was whether people were going to dance or not. I had going to wedding when the music isn't good. So we splurged a little over our budget on this one because after we met Greg we knew he was the best choice. Our initial meeting was via Skype because we live a couple hours away from the wedding location. We chatted for an hour and he got to know us and understand our wants/needs. He provided lots of guidance as we planned to ensure we selected music for all aspects of the day. We had another meeting with him in person and finalized everything. He was flawless the day of the wedding. He incorporated all my last minute updates with no questions asked. He's also very high-tech so you get the best quality. He handled our ceremony, cocktail and reception music and audio which were in different locations on the property, with no issue. My favorite part was that he enjoyed himself at our wedding. I kept seeing him dancing and singing along with the tunes. He made our guests happy and we danced the night away! We even asked him to stay for extra time because we didn't want to stop the party and he did with no questions asked!! (we paid him for the extra time). Loved working with Greg and we know you would too!

We hired Greg to DJ/ MC our May 2012 wedding. We had interviewed a couple of DJs, but selected Greg as our DJ because of his energy, some other fantastic reviews from other couples who used Greg at their weddings, and his proven credibility and knowledge. We found Greg to be very organized, very accommodating to what we wanted as far as music during our all aspects of our wedding (including our ceremony), and very pleasurable to work with. Greg did a fantastic job MCing our wedding – we loved how he made the introductions very personalized by telling fun facts and stories about the members of our bridal party and of us as a couple. There was a bit of a challenge to get people on the dance floor given that our venue had an open deck space where people were able to congregate (and it was a gorgeous, warm, spring day!) and given that it was a daytime event. Greg overcame these challenges, read the crowd, and we had a good mix of people on the dance floor throughout the day. My only critique of Greg would be that his online request/ planning system was somewhat frustrating to use at times, especially being that we were only allowed to submit a max number of requests (15 I think). I do not think this is a reflection of Greg’s talent as a MC/ DJ, and in fact, Greg was able to work around this with us and we sent him lists of requests outside his online system. We would recommend Greg to any couples looking for a fun, energetic DJ/ MC for their wedding! Thanks, Greg!

Greg did an awesome job DJing our wedding. If I had to plan it all over again, I would rehire him without a second thought. He kept the energy level high and he listened to our preferences and was excellent! We also booked the photo booth through his company! 2-in-1: couldn't ask for a better deal!

Want all your guests on the dance floor the WHOLE night? Greg is the DJ for you! You won't regret it!

Greg is amazing!! The dance floor was packed the entire night. We gave him a list of some songs to play,and a list of do not play. I didn't want to give too many, I wanted people to be able to make requests. People were thrilled that he played what they requested. Everyone had a great time and said is was one the the best, most fun wedding they had ever been to. I also have heard that the DJ from the wedding next door asked for his playlist!!! : )

Greg is funny and talented in his DJ skills. Great personality and his love for music shows. He played exactly what I wanted and did a perfect job.

He did an awesome job at our wedding! Everyone danced all night long, and we got alot of compliments on our DJ!

Very personable recent graduate of UNH ready to take on the world! Definitely a go-getter, trying to get his business going. We got him when he was a little on the "cheaper" side (we booked him before he graduated), but he was a great find! My only disappointment was mostly MY fault. He asked me for a list of songs I'd like played just for general dancing, and I forgot to send it to him. So, he had a really awesome set of tunes for us, but they weren't ALL what I would have wanted. But again, my fault, not his. I wish there had been a little bit more slow music, but all in all, he definitely knew how to keep the party going. Would recommend, but definitely tell him what you want. :)

Greg was more about getting to know me and my husband as individuals and as a couple before even beginning the discussion of what we wanted. He is excellent at designing his program to meet our needs and to meet the needs to the guests. He is down-to-earth, easily accessible, and truly wants to make it about your and your needs. He has a wide selection of music, has great rates and will work with you on adding whatever you need to enhance the event. Definitely a high-quality recommended DJ.
