We had Ryan as our DJ and MC for our wedding! Best decision ever! Ryan is awesome! Working with him…read morewas super easy, which is so important!! Planning a wedding and communicating with a bunch of vendors is a lot of work so it's incredibly nice to be working with someone who knows what they're doing and can simplify one of the many many details! At the start he sent us a customer profile for our event where we listed our preferred types of music, the songs we wanted played in our ceremony and reception, a schedule/order of events for the whole day and details about the venue and equipment provided. He ended up bringing and using all of his equipment which was perfect! I (the bride) am kinda picky and when looking for a DJ was worried about the big awkward stereo equipment taking away from the prettiness of the venue. Ryan's set up was great! It was not over the top or distracting for the ceremony and for our reception he had a really cool looking set up with some LEDs that fit into the venue very nicely but wasn't obnoxious! We were lucky enough to be able to be able to have him set up during our rehearsal the night before which was so relieving because we could do a few run throughs with the music and it meant one less thing to get done the day of the wedding! He got the music for the ceremony perfectly mixed and set up a mic for us and our officiant to use. Our ceremony went so smoothly and beautifully with his help! For our reception he kept everything on a perfect schedule which was incredible because I am the most unorganized and late person every but he kept it all on track! He announced all the important details and events at the perfect time and helped keep the flow of the party going. Our music for dancing was PERFECT!!! He got our music taste spot on while making sure to pick songs everyone would know and want to dance to! I had so many guests tell us that they loved the music!! Overall Social Sound, specifically Ryan Messling, did an amazing job for our wedding and we were so thankful for his help! He's a really kind guy, easy to talk to, a professional at what he does and really was a huge part in making our wedding come together!

I would 100% recommend Social Sound for your wedding or event! Ryan was so thorough in gathering…read moreall of our musical requests, and then he coordinated the music throughout the entire day! He dj'd our ceremony, coordinated a small jazz combo for cocktail hour, and then turned our reception into a party with an 8-person band. They were able to get so many people dancing, that we almost could have used a bigger dance floor! If finding the right musical entertainment for your wedding is stressing you out, let Ryan and his team put your mind at ease!

Dan was easy to talk to and seemed willing to listen to song preferences. My daughter thought…read morethings were going to go well. We could not hear him with his PA system, even after i brought this to his attention. This was weird because we could hear the people giving their toasts using the same mic. He played really odd and not great music as people were coming into our wedding reception. With all the great music choices available, this was strange elevator-like music that was really awful. He also did not play songs or genres the bride/groom asked for. Though once he started playing dance music the atmosphere did improve. Although I'm sure he has a great sense of humor as other reviewers have noted, I did not appreciate being referred to as Good Golly Miss Molly at my daughters wedding.

Chad DJed and KJed our wedding from this past week. Everyone was really happy with his services…read more He went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed to have a wonderful wedding. Even though we didn't give him a lot of direction, he read the room really well in terms of what music would land. Also, Chad is just a really cool, sweet guy. He's the kind of guy I wanted at my wedding because he brings just a lot of light with his personality. I would definitely recommend supporting his business. The price was very reasonable and he was always very responsive via phone, email and even text. Do not hesitate to book Chad!

Chad was an amazing DJ and help in making my wedding day special!…read more I planned my wedding at Shirley's Tippy Canoe in Troutdale. The ceremony was outside which Chad set up his equipment first to play music before the ceremony started and special songs that I had selected for the ceremony. He then moved his stuff inside the restaurant for the reception and party. The guests had so much fun dancing and Chad always had the songs that everyone wanted to hear. He was so helpful in the whole process, always checking in to make sure everything was still on track and if there was anything he could do to help. He also helped me find my wedding photographer. I would highly recommend Chad and his DJ services. Excellent guy to work with, a great person, and amazing at what he does!

Quality of Service: 15/10. Craig not only did an amazing job reading the audience but got every…read moresingle person (even the grandparents) out on the dancefloor and taught everyone a dance so no one felt left out if they weren't a good dancer. I love how he included our flowergirl, who is in a wheelchair, and made her day by making her the front of the conga line. She was all smiles after that! He really cares about his work and you can tell he has fun doing it. He made sure we (the bride and groom) had water, made sure we had food ready for us at our table, and even helped set up an umbrella at our bride/groom table when the sun was blaring down on us. He was truly an active participant on making our day not only special, but was attentive to details that made it less stressful. I truly can't recommend him enough. Even our experienced DJ friend who is a total snob about DJ service, was thoroughly impressed by this man. If you are thinking that a playlist will be enough for your wedding, go for it, but you will be missing out. Craig took our wedding from what would have been a solid 7 to a 11/10. This took the pressure off of us to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves so we could focus on having a good time ourselves. Responsiveness: Great responsiveness. We hired DJ Craig about a month before the wedding and he brought everything together seamlessly. I cannot stress the importance of this, as we had our fair share of things going wrong before the big day. Craig was not one of those things! Professionalism: Very professional and friendly at the same time. He took time to understand what we needed/wanted and improvised the rest. We had some main things we wanted in the reception, but we mainly let him run with it since he is the professional. Safe to say that was the best decision we could have made. Value: Worth every single penny and then some. Even our guests wanted to tip him. Flexibility: Worked with our schedule and was very accomodating.

I just got home from my sons 8th grade promotion (to HS) celebration at his Middle school. They had…read moreHFE there for the celebration. I can honestly say that Craig was one of the best DJ's I have ever come across. My husband and I used to be wedding photographers so we have seen our fair share and Craig tops the list. He kept 400 middle schoolers engaged and dancing, even though the teachers said Middle Schoolers wouldn't dance. He had the perfect balance between engaging with the audience and allowing them to do there thing. He read the room perfect and knew what to play and when to keep things fun.

My wife and I couldn't have been happier with Event Team Entertainment. Let's begin with the…read morehighlights. 1) They hold to a strict rule that whomever you do your consult with, he/she will be the DJ at your wedding; No switch-a-roos like some other companies. 2) It's true this entertainment company comes at a higher price, but they do so for a reason. If you want 5-star entertainment, you have to pay for it. 3) My wife and I never felt bored or awkward and there was never a moment where we noticed a lack of flow. The DJ's were on point at the ENTIRE night (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) with music, announcements, and fill-in entertainment that kept our guests on their toes. 4) We had 275 rowdy guests and Event Team handled it like champs. 5) If you need extras: up-lighting, TV's, projectors, etc.- they have it. 6) Our head DJ, Shawn, never hesitated to take our requests for additions or subtractions to playlists, slideshows, etc.- and we made a LOT of them. In addition, he was always willing to make great suggestions for pieces we needed help with. We had many people come up to us the night of and in the following days telling us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Folks, Event Team's entertainment was single-handedly one of TOP reasons we keep hearing this.

I have been around a lot of DJ's, especially during my reign and I can tell you that Brandon is by far the BEST! All around EXCELLENT! His professionalism sets him apart from the rest. He's flexible, organized, calm and upbeat! What we loved most is he is always smiling and interacting just at the right time to help our wedding not have those "awkward" pauses..

Hiring Chris was a great choice! He's easy to talk to in person, organized, on-time (actually he…read morewas always early), and quick to respond to emails. I love that he attended my rehearsal, even though my ceremony was very simple and quick. I also thought the music request site was a lot of fun for both myself and guests. He's extremely reasonably priced for all that you get. Chris helped to keep my wedding on schedule, and played all the songs I wanted at all the right times. He took guest requests day of, and knew when to tell my guests no, because I had put that song as a do not play. He was even willing, when I asked him to, to lead some trivia to send my guests by table to dinner. My husband does not typically like DJs. He usually finds them loud and obnoxious, and I lean towards this opinion as well most of the time. Chris is not like this. I knew he was the perfect choice when I met him. The music at my wedding was perfect for people who wanted to dance, and for those that wanted to just hang out and chat. I would hire him all over again.

From the moment that we met Chris we had instant chemistry, our first meeting even lasted about 3…read morehours! He was always there to answer questions, make suggestions, and help with any part of the process that I needed. He was easy to work with and quick with responses. We had a website we could send to our guests where they could request songs which was awesome because we had a lot of people from out of town and from different generations. He attended our rehearsal to help with timing (which was a life saver because I only had a day of coordinator who wasn't there) and make sure we knew where everything would be set up. He was early every time we met, and was always professional while still making us feel comfortable. Chris truly made our reception the celebration we were looking for. I highly recommend his services and if I am ever in need or a DJ again would 100% book with him.

We hired Hans and the Wanted for our wedding reception entertainment and they were INCREDIBLE!…read more Cameron, the contact man, for Hans and the Wanted was a dream to work with. From many email convos over the 12 months from when we booked them to when the actual wedding event was he was always quick to respond. Especially when about 2-3 days before the wedding I decided to change the song our pianist was going to play for the wedding procession. And when I asked for what I thought was maybe a little out there he always responded with a casual response in that they were happy to try to make it happen....and they did! On the day of they were amazing and a major talking point at the morning after brunch. We had a small but rowdy group and Hans and the Wanted just went with the energy we were putting out. I am so happy we stumbled across this band. The entertainment for our wedding was one of the most important things for us and WOW did they deliver. I would recommend Hans and the Wanted to anyone looking to have great, fun, professional musicians at their event. We love you!
