So glad we booked split second! We had Chad as our DJ and he did such a good job incorporating our song/genre requests. He really created the vibe we were going for in ceremony, co...
cktail hour, and reception. Our guests had the best time and everyone was dancing which is what we were going for. Everyone we spoke with at SSS was also super nice and helpful leading up to the wedding day. Chad was very professional and supportive and helped to make sure we had the best day. SSS also provided the cold sparklers and photo booth which was a big hit and one less thing we had to worry about in booking. Would 1000% recommend SSS especially Chad!
DJ Matt Piver was an amazing addition to our wedding! He kept the party going and knew exactly what songs were needed to keep the vibes high! We had a couple of meetings leading up...
which helped us greatly to make sure we were on the right track and to make sure that he knew exactly what we wanted! I would absolutely recommend Split Second and DJ Matt P any day! :)
We hired SSS for our wedding this October. Charlie was our DJ and we couldn't be happier. He kept the party going and did a great job with music selection. He arrived on time and w...
as extremely helpful and understanding. Definitely recommend them for your next event, especially you want a good combo of latin dance with loved classics!
We had DJ Michael Glass for our wedding a few weeks ago and he was INCREDIBLE! Our guests are still talking about how personable and great he was. He was so high energy, friendly, ...
and professional. We would recommend him and SSS to anyone that is getting married or in need of a DJ. They made the process seamless.
Michael Glass is amazing!! We got married in October 2025 at The Van Landingham Estate in Charlotte and our wedding was absolutely perfect! Michael did a great job of directing the...
crowd and keeping the jams going all night long. We had such a great time on the dance floor and I credited that all to Michael. Highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful experience with DJ Libni and Henry as our entertainer. Henry was outstanding and made sure everything ran smoothly, as well as Libni playing all the right music...
for our wedding venue. It was an unforgettable evening and would most definitely use them again. Very professional and great entertainment! Thank you again for a wonderful event on 10/18.
Pamela Jansen and family:). Highly recommend Split Second!
The Split Second Sound team is AMAZING! They understood exactly what we wanted for our music and dance party. I cannot recommend Henry more, he made everyone feel welcome on the da...

DJ Kristi was more than just a DJ! I didn’t expect what she provided as she went above and beyond what you imagine a typical DJ would do and be for one’s wedding day! My wedding pa...
rty and guests kept talking about how amazing she was the entire reception & for days following! After initially speaking w/Split Second Sound owner, Vinny, via Zoom, he took my requests & personality into account & named off a few DJ’s he thought I’d work well with, one being DJ Kristi. Boy did he hit the nail on the head! She was more than my husband & I both could have ever imagined! When we first spoke, we clicked immediately! She is very easy going & willing to work with you. I immediately felt like I could trust her, & my gut was not wrong in doing so!
Meeting her for the first time in person was on my wedding day at Chetola in Blowing Rock, NC on 9/27/25. The wedding party & I had to seek shelter from rain in a gazebo near where the wedding ceremony was about to take place & lo and behold who was sitting in the gazebo waiting for us but DJ Kristi! She already had everything set up to go even though she wasn’t needed till the reception a few hours later! Immediately she said hi to me & told me to not be worried, rain on one’s wedding day is good luck! And if I needed anything, she was happy to help & came prepped with eyelash glue, etc in case of a little last minute mishap! Talk about going above & beyond the DJ duties! Might I add, she dressed nicely & looked stunning herself!
The reception would not have been as fun & lively if not for her. She not only directed the crowd & played awesome music, but she mingled with the guests & made everyone feel welcomed & loved (there were 98 guests- so that’s a feat in itself!)! All thanks to her, the energy of the crowd was consistently upbeat & positive & she even got the quietest/shyest of guests involved & cheerful! I suggested a lot of songs & had a list of must plays & she also made sure I tell her any do not plays for the evening. Outside of our must plays though, I trusted her to feel the vibes & play what she felt right in the moments throughout the reception- she did not disappoint whatsoever! I danced my butt off as did a lot of my guests the entire evening! Every song was literally a banger! She didn’t just play music though, she helped direct- whether it be with releasing tables for dinner, ensuring each event occurred (ie cut the cake, first dance, garter/bouquet tosses, etc), or kindly kicking everyone out at the end of the night for our private last dance & to prep for our sparkler exit, she conducted it all with grace & friendliness that was appreciated by all! Also, it didn’t hurt that she’s hilarious & made everyone laugh throughout the night! She was extremely detail-oriented & considerate, too- for example, during my husband’s & my intimate last dance while the sparkler exit was being prepped, she played our song & ducked down behind the DJ booth so we would get our full privacy & alone time. Small things like that took her from amazing to exceptional! Everyone loved her & was speaking so highly of her by the end of the night! She seriously made my reception epic & memorable for everyone that got to be there and undoubtedly 100 times better than it would have been without her. Thank you Split Second Sound & DJ Kristi!! You were one of the best decisions we could have possibly made for a special wedding day!
Everyone have Henry and his team as your entertainment!! they seriously bring the party and make your event everything you can imagine and more! you will not be disappointed at all
If you're looking for the best DJ, stop looking, you've found the one. We got in touch with DJ Smylee through our wedding venue, and from our first conversation with her we knew we...
were in good hands. She was attentive and communicative every step of the way. She called us up a few times to make sure we liked the playlists she was putting together, or the order of events was correct, and the set list was on point or each walkout. She even pronounced everyone's names right all night. Our reception never emptied, and didn't end until the venue kicked us out because she had the place rocking the whole night. She made our wedding fun and memorable, and we feel like she couldn't have done a better job. We appreciated every moment we had with her as our DJ, and I can't recommend her enough.
DJ Gio was the best. He had the best songs and created so my structure to a day that was chaotic. He really came through for us on our wedding day and helped tie it all together!!!...
10000000/10. Our guest loved Gio!!
Be sure to request DJ Jason Wiggs! Former club DJ and he's top notch! Super fun and energy, very easy to work with.
Oh my gosh!!! Our wedding wouldn’t have been complete without these guys! MC Henry Underwood and DJ Libni Castellanos worked magic at our wedding! MC Henry kept the flow and the hy...
pe going ALL night!! DJ Libni brought amazing sound and literally didn’t miss a beat!! 100/10 recommend!
For our wedding there was no question who we were booking for our DJ, it was a must to book Split Second Sound! We were very impressed with the whole process Vinny has set up. He w...
as very informative about their business and what they’re about and what they offer! The process was extremely easy and seamless from booking to planning! We went through all of their DJs and picked Matt Piver for our wedding! He was absolutely amazing! We met with him twice before the wedding and was always just a text away if we needed him for anything! Our wedding was supposed to be outside but had to be moved inside and Matt was able to pivot without issue! Our venue also was struck by lightning the night prior and kept losing power but that did not interfere with the party at the reception! Matt was super prepared and had backup battery power and the music continued even without power to our venue! Split Second is amazing in always having a back up plan and knowing them I imagine their backup has a backup! We will always recommend Split Second Sound, especially Matt P, to anyone who needs a DJ to make their party one to remember!
Thank you so much to Giovanni for making my husband and I’s wedding so much fun! He was a joy to work with and no one wanted to leave the dance floor!
Highly recommend! MC Henry Lee and DJ Libni were wonderful! Henry's enthusiasm and charm kept the party going and DJ Libni did a wonderful job tailoring the music to the vibe of th...
e crowd. It was a pleasure to work with them both!
Thank you so much to Split Second Sound and DJ Smylee for making our wedding fantastic!
We live in and got married in Greenville, SC, and the small mileage fee for them to travel f...
rom Charlotte was well worth it. They are extremely professional, and from our first video call with the company to our final breakdown of details with DJ Smylee the week before the wedding, we knew we were in good hands.
DJ Smylee handled our ceremony, dinner, and reception music and did a great job introducing the wedding party and the speakers giving toasts. Split Second Sound also provided our officiant with a mic, which was very helpful. We got the lights with the package, which made for a really nice atmosphere.
Our music selections were handled perfectly, and DJ Smylee created the perfect playlists moving everyone from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The dance party playlist was incredible. We and our guests had a blast! Thank y’all for all your assistance making our wedding a truly epic celebration!
We found DJ Gio through Instagram and really loved his mix that was on the website so we booked him for our wedding. DJ Gio made a special mix for our first dance song (a mashup of...
country and bachata) and a mix of Latin dance songs for the mother-son dance. DJ Gio kept the vibes high all night! From EDM headbangers to old school Latin hits, DJ Gio captured each part of our multi-cultural wedding! I would highly recommend him to anyone!
We had the absolute best experience with DJ Smylee (Chanel Crosskey) from Split Second Sound at our wedding! From the very beginning, she was warm, easy to communicate with, and in...
credibly intentional about every detail of our day. She took the time to understand the kind of atmosphere we wanted and completely delivered—creating an open, fun, and unforgettable setting that felt so us. Dj Smylee is one of the best DJs I’ve ever heard and watching her do transitions was so incredibly fun.
DJ Smylee kept everyone on the dance floor all night long—young and old, everyone was having an amazing time! She even took videos of fun and special moments from the night. She was going so hard that some of my friends started doing splits 😂😂. One of the most special moments was the reflection dance she suggested, something we hadn’t planned but ended up being one of our favorite parts of the entire night. It gave us a quiet, beautiful moment to soak everything in, and we’re so grateful she encouraged us to do it.
If you're looking for someone who truly cares, reads the room perfectly, and brings genuine joy to your celebration, DJ Smylee is the one. Thank you for making our wedding so incredibly special!

My wife and I booked Split Second Sound for our wedding on 5/10/25, and the experience absolutely exceeded our expectations! Throughout the entire process, whether it be discovery ...
and information gathering, picking and communicating with our DJ, and then the event itself, everything was top notch. We booked DJ Gio (Giovanni Dario) after watching his rooftop mix video, which was super fire btw. Soon after, we were in contact with him discussing our favorite types of music & things that we wanted to hear at the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance floor. Gio took all of our suggestions deeply into consideration, and came out swinging on our wedding day! He really curated the entire night perfectly to our music taste, and had the dance floor bumping the entire night. He was so smooth with it, everyone kept coming up to us saying how awesome it was. We could tell he put a ton of time and effort into making the vibe of our night perfect for us. I don’t have enough good things to say about the process as a whole, and specifically about Gio. Highly recommend!
Split second sound made everything so easy. DJ Mike was a pleasure to work with! We had a great time on the dancefloor!
Steve was fantastic to work with! Steve DJed for our wedding in Charlotte NC. Our guests had a great time and commented on how much they loved Steve! Steve was organized, directed ...

SO MUCH FUN!!! Absolutely a 10/10 experience working with him. He was also so kind and friendly in all of his interactions with us, our guests, and other vendors. He went above and beyond in every way. We highly, highly recommend him!
From the beginning of the process to the wedding day, Split Second Sound was a great DJ service. They were super communicative when we reached out, took the time to video call and ...
get our questions answered right away. Our DJ, Matt Varelas was a pleasure to work with. He did a great job with everything throughout the entire process! Answered questions that we had before the wedding, gave great song recommendations, transitioned through the ceremony and reception effectively and kept the dance floor packed the entire night! We loved working with him!
We had an amazing experience working with Split Second Sound for our April 2025 wedding! The process to find the right DJ for us felt personalized, plus it was quick and easy. They...
matched us with DJ Gio, who was amazing throughout the whole planning process and even more amazing on our actual wedding day! He was so friendly and accommodating while planning and really nailed the vibe we were going for on wedding day for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! He took our conversations plus the playlists provided and added his own flare that set the whole night over the top. We did not leave the dance floor all night and got so many compliments from our guests! We highly recommend Split Second Sound and DJ Gio!
We had such an amazing experience with Preston! He met with us before the wedding, and truly understood the assignment. Our friends were on the dance floor all night, and multiple ...
guests have told us how great he was. I cannot recommend Split Second Sound (and Preston specifically!) enough!
Giovanni Dario was our DJ and he did amazing! He kept the party going all night and even at the end of the night everyone at our wedding was begging for more songs!
We just wanted to take a moment to thank DJ DeAngelo for the incredible job he did at our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! From start to finish, you were profession...
al and handled everything with ease. It was clear you were experienced and dedicated to making our wedding perfect. We didn't provide much direction, but you went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Your ability to read the crowd and keep the vibe exactly where we wanted was impressive. You had everyone on the dance floor all night! It was amazing to see our guests of a;; ages enjoying themselves, and that really made our wedding unforgettable. Your collaboration with Dean's Duets for our recessional song was flawless. We are so grateful for your contribution to making our wedding day everything we dreamed of. Thank you again for your fantastic work!
Best Regards,
Mr. & Mrs. Eda

o house mixes from all their team members. We loved Gio’s style and once we heard Good Charlotte–we were sold. From start to finish, Gio brought an unmatched energy to the event that kept everyone on their feet all night. The transitions between songs were flawless, and the playlist was a perfect mix of crowd favorites and fresh tracks that had everyone dancing. What really stood out was how Gio took our must plays, Spotify most listened, and mixed them into an amazing vibe to match the mood and keep the energy flowing. Guests from our wedding were so amazed by Gio’s skill and everyone was just as pleased as us. Highly recommend Split Second Sound! 5 stars all the way!

Keith also coordinated well with the venue director to keep the order of events running smoothly and seamlessly.

100% satisfied with Keith and the services provided by him and Split Second Sound.

DJ Keith was incredibly engaging and fun for all of our guests - we got so many compliments on the music and his engagement with the reception! His energy was really great the whole night, even during the reflection dance and send-off... he was so excited, you’d think he was one of our guests! We would definitely hire him and SSS again!
DJ Smylee was incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more seamless reception. Our music was exactly what we hoped for!

e last song was electric. The dance floor was packed the entire time and my husband and I had the time of our lives. We also added a saxophonist and vocalist which made the experience that much better. Vinny and his team made the whole process from first meeting to day of the wedding seamless and was able to pin point the vibe we were wanting so easily. We highly recommend Vinny and the Split Second Sound team to anyone in the area.
We absolutely loved our MC and DJ! Our guests still cannot stop raving about Henry! Book with Split Second Sound- you will not be disappointed!

We enjoyed working with Split Second Sound for our wedding! Between the initial meeting and the month leading up to the wedding, we had no reason to contact them, and when it came ...
time to the final details, their online pre-set forms were ready to go and waiting for us to fill out for our DJ.
The afternoon of the wedding was a great success too. We had a special song request for when the officiant said “you make kiss the bride”, and the DJ did it perfectly! We received so many compliments from friends that they got goose bumps when they heard the song, so thank you for giving us everything!
During our first dance, I dislocated my knee, and I knew I had two choices: either feel the feels of the realization and the pain and implications of a dislocated knee for the honeymoon, or let it be a tomorrow problem, enjoy the night, and make the most of it. So when it came time to dancing, I was posted up on the dance from all night with crutches, and never left! It took a minute for the DJ to find his groove with the crowd, but once he did, the party was more than I could have asked for with cold sparklers, uplights, and Pom poms! We had the best time partying the night away, thanks to Split Second Sound and DJ Todd.
My wife and I used Split Second Sound for our wedding reception. They were nothing short of amazing! From our initial consultation with the owner, to the conversations we had with ...
our Emcee (Henry), I knew I was in more than capable hands. Split Second Sound was 100% professional, listened in detail to what we wanted, and went above and beyond at our wedding to make sure everything went off exactly as planned and without a hitch. We and our guests had a fantastic time as we danced the night away. Split Second Sound was nothing short of amazing!
Split Second Sound is an awesome company to work with. The owner met with us to walk us through our options and the entire process was very easy. We loved the variety in DJs/packag...
es and ability to add services on a la carte. You can tell how much they value professionalism & quality, which was important to us.
DJ Smylee was INCREDIBLE! She was easy to work with, kind & read the room extremely well. We had a tricky request to somehow incorporate karaoke at the end of our reception and she executed perfectly! Our wedding wouldn't have been the success that it was without her -- we had guests singing her praises all night (and the following week). Could not recommend a better DJ for your wedding!!
We wanted a dance club vibe at our wedding and that is exactly what we got! Everyone was on the dance floor all night long, especially us. Anthony was spectacular at reading the en...
ergy of the room and playing bangers all night long. He was really chill and fun to talk to. He took to heart every point we made during our calls before the wedding. I really liked that we went around to all the tables during dinner and asked what songs they wanted to hear to get the party started, that was a nice touch, and our guests enjoyed that. Between the amazing DJ, cold sparklers, and uplighting, Split Second does it all perfectly!
We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding video! Not only did we receive an exceptional highlight video but also our entire ceremony was captured and we are receiving a full uned...
ited copy as well! I highly recommend this team. They knew what was important to us and made it happen!
DJ Brian was awesome! He was a great MC and DJ for us in the Charlotte area.
