I was too enraptured to get much video, but the sound was as beautiful as the family. They absolutely made the night so fun and special not just for me, but the entire restaurant! Everyone was up from their tables dancing and laughing together. I Just can't recommend this group enough!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!

Four violins, two violas, 2 cellos, and a string bass later, Sarah and I decided that this was the…read moreperfect blend for the acoustics at the Art Institute Modern Wing. Our repertoire was most classical waltzes and Puccini scores, mixed with some Mancini. Symphony Sounds pulled it all off, much to the delight of some more serious classical buffs in our audience. It was a true pleasure to work with Sarah. She even recorded my bridal march, Un Bel Di, during practice and sent it to me so I could get a sense of timing. All our communications were long distance, yet the music and ceremony were executed beautifully. I only wish I could have heard all of the pre and post music myself. My guests continue to rave about the music and how lovely it sounded.

I admit that I had to do a little considering before adding the 5th star…read more There was a problem at our wedding in late August but the owner did the best she could and the performance was great. Thus, there was never any consideration for giving a bad review. The question was whether to give the "perfect" score. Sometimes bad things occur beyond someone's control. They did the best they could do under the circumstances, including the owner offering more than I could conscientiously accept. They performed spectacularly, despite the owner probably believing she would be paid nothing for her performance and hard work. None of the audience ever even knew there was a problem. In mulling it over, that ability to actually turn lemons into lemonade shows more professionalism than simply doing so under the best conditions. The best parts were the quality of the performers, their choice of music, and the cheerfulness of the performance. Every one of our guests were throughly entranced by the music! I therefore enthusiastically recommend Symphony Sounds for your wedding or other event.

Ryan was very knowledgeable when working with our wedding venue and made our planning process that much easier. On top of everything, the musicians were professional and sounded amazing (despite performing in suits in 90-degree weather).

We are so grateful for their outstanding skill and artistry. And Ryan, you were the most wonderful person to work with on the music...you were responsive and flexible and SO fun to work with.

My wedding guests could not stop talking about the quality of music; the band kept the dance floor packed all night! The band members are so kind and wonderful to work with. They did a perfect job with our first dance song. I could not be more thrilled with my decision to hire Gussied. Live music at a wedding is the only way to go and Gussied is just the band to make your wedding so memorable.

The dance floor was never empty during our reception. They were also SUPER easy to work with throughout the process of booking, going through playlists and day of the event. No one will ever leave your wedding saying oh that dj was great but your guests will leave your wedding going 'who was that band?, they were the best'! (note if you do book them list them in the program - helpful for guests as reference!)

From the moment we met, he worked hard to truly get to know us. He listened and asked great questions and all of that led to him building a solid understanding of who we are and what we were looking for.

He was beyond flexible dealing with a type B bride during the planning process; He was always very easy to reach and a joy to speak to. On the wedding day he kept everyone dancing, and did a great job of playing off our playlists, while adding in songs that fit each vibe. He made us incredibly comfortable, directed the day perfectly, and gave us one less thing to think about so we could really let loose! We couldn't be happier with DJ Shane and GreenLight Talent as a whole, and will be recommending him to anyone we know who is looking for a DJ. Thank you again for everything, we will always look back at what a fun party we had with the help of Shane and GLT!

I have been taking lessons with Davin for almost a year and a half. Davin is a talented and…read moreinspiring teacher who will help you grow and learn about who you are as a singer. He has a professional demeanor and a friendly ability to clearly communicate with each student on an individual level. He celebrates the strengths and achievements in your process, speaks to habits, and helps break down those walls that we so often put up (I know I do). After every lesson I step out feeling freer, happier, and more confident. There is a great difference in who I am now vocally and who I was when I walked into my first lesson with him over a year ago. Also...Missy is new to Davin Youngs Voice and she is fantastic as well! I have taken a lesson with her and she is personable and professional. She's also crazy-talented and understands why we do what we do and how to enhance our singing technique. She is a great addition!

I've been working with Davin for over a year. As an actor who has also attended an arts…read moreconservatory and has taken singing lessons over the years, he's one of the best vocal teachers I've worked with. Seeking to improve my talents as a vocalist, I've also taken group as well as private lessons at Old Town School of Music. I personally find private lessons to be of much more use than group lessons as it affords much more time to address the technical concerns(bad habits, posture, etc.) that are holding me back. A satisfying one on one dynamic with a private vocal coach can be much more difficult to find. I've had teachers where the lessons don't seem like they're building on anything; the "arc" of the lessons seems disconnected. As a private teacher, Davin is the best I've worked with. What I like about him is that he will keep on me about my bad habits and he's not afraid to be direct with his criticism(another peeve I have about some private coaches is that they are afraid to lose you as a client so they tend to sugarcoat things). Anyhoo, I heartily recommend him as a teacher. I joked with him once that as a starving artist, I have a budget: Rice, Beans and Singing Lessons. And it's true. Finding your voice as a singer is one of the most satisfying and amazing things you can do and with his help, I'm well on my way. Thanks, dude!
