Pat was such an amazing DJ! From the ceremony up until the last song he was on point and kept the parry going. It was such a pleasure to work with him! read more

Pat was an amazing DJ for our wedding. Pat was able to work with us first through his online meeting booking system through his website which was super easy to use and help us organize all of the songs we wanted through his website as well (again, super easy to use on top of being very modern). Pat went the extra mile and was able to accommodate all of our non-English song requests and help us prepare all of the music we needed for all of the events at our wedding (all ceremony-related songs, first song, first dance, dance performance, and dance floor music). We also had to play a video from our family members who were unable to attend in person and he was able to accommodate the audio from there, working together with our videographer while we were busy running around during our wedding day. Pat is a very professional DJ and MC, he looked after all of our requests and even helped prevent a disaster when one of our Chinese songs did not load properly, he figured out another way to play the music without any disruption during our wedding! I cannot recommend him enough! He even helped provide the nice lights on the dance floor and wedding cake. Overall, working with DJ Pat made our wedding MUCH easier and better than what we expected, his expertise really helped guide us through some of the nuances we were not prepared for. You will NOT regret booking DJ Pat for your event! Thanks again Pat! read more

We used DJ Danny with Sound Prodigy for our wedding and he was awesome! Definitely recommend him and would use him again if needed. We used him for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at our wedding. Between the equipment and the communication he was so easy to work with, punctual, organized, and friendly! Thanks DJ Danny! read more

DJ Pat was recommended to us by another couple and we are SO glad. He made everything so easy to set up, his app and organization system let us customize everything really easily. Our dance floor was full of energy all night just like we hoped and we couldn't have asked for a better dj! read more

DJ Pat was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. He listened to what we wanted, made great suggestions when we needed advice, and truly made our wedding day as special as it could possibly be. Pats years of experience shone though on our wedding day. He was able to adjust to last minute changes, keep our timeline on track, and made sure to include all the special requests we asked for. What really set DJ Pat apart though, was his ability to read the vibe of the room and adjust accordingly. He kept us dancing all night by keeping a keen eye on what both us and our guests were enjoying the most and rolling with it. He is also incredibly kind and clearly enjoys what he does. We had multiple guests tell us how much they loved him as well! We cannot recommend DJ Pat enough! read more

We booked with DJ Pat in late 2019 for our wedding in June of 2020. We paid for the entire service up front, and had one short meeting with DJ Pat to discuss what type of music we would be interested in for the reception. We ultimately had to reschedule our wedding due to covid, so we pushed it back to September 2020. When things still weren't looking up for the world, we pushed it back again to March 2021. We ended up having to cancel the wedding entirely because everything was still shut down at the time, and we were moving out of state at the end of March. I understand vendors not being able to refund ALL of the money that was paid to them. Most of our vendors were very considerate of the situation and did what they could to help us recoup costs. But not DJ Pat. He told us that he wouldn't be refunding any of the money that we paid him (again, we paid for the whole thing up front). If there was work that was already done, I completely understand keeping some of the deposit money. However, outside of our one small meeting, DJ Pat did no work to prepare for our wedding. That was an extremely unprofessional move, and I won't be recommending him to anyone I know. read more

We worked with DJ Pat. He was a delight. Everything was super smooth from beginning to end. He offers a website to input all your music. There isn't a category he hasn't thought of. This was extremely helpful and took a lot of the leg work away from me, all I had to do was submit songs. There were no kinks with Pat, everything was done exactly the way he said it would be, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The night was truly perfect. Thank you Pat!! read more

DJ Pat was amazing and super professional helped us make a night we will never forget

Dj Pat was absolutely amazing from the start to finish! He makes it so easy to set up each playlist and timeline of wedding with the app provided. He was always quick to respond and so easy to work with. Thank you for making the best day ever so rememberable! Please book him for all of your events!! read more

DJ Pat....AMAZING. He kept the party alive. He helped so much with the flow and the organization. I received SO MANY compliments and I can truly say it was the absolute most perfect night with zero hiccups! I'm addition, he is super easy to work with. DJ Pat ensures zero stress! read more

DJ Pat did an amazing job! He was so great to work with from start to finish- from the early planning stages to our wedding day. He was very organized and reliable. Our dance floor was full the whole night, and everyone had a blast! Would highly recommend booking DJ Pat for your wedding! read more

I have known DJ Pat for several years--I met him at a wedding back in 2014, I believe. He then was the DJ for my husband's aunt's wedding a few years later. When it came to search for DJ's for our wedding, DJ Pat was the only DJ I consulted with. He remembered me from our previous meetings, and was fortunately available for our wedding. DJ Pat's process for the wedding is very easy. His website is comprehensive, and user-friendly. I was worried that I would have to pick out all the music for our wedding, but after our phone conversation, he put me at ease that if I selected a few genres, songs, artists, etc., he would put together a playlist. I trusted his expertise with this, and I was not disappointed. I thought all the music he played at our wedding was fantastic. Everyone was dancing the whole time. He did a great job at keeping the party going, which is so important. He was also very accommodating when my husband and I decided to change our first dance song last minute. DJ Pat is professional, talented, and I highly recommend him! read more

OMG!! Pat Connolly was absolutely amazing! We got married 8/26/22 in Poway, CA and Pat was the first vendor I booked. We had a thorough first meeting, where he walked me through a super awesome website he has for his clients (where you can literally sync your Spotify to add your music requests for the wedding), and walked through the timeline. Pat set great expectations, was such an awesome help throughout the planning process, and he absolutely killed it the day of the wedding. He provided a guest book phone, beautiful lighting, and such good music/service. All my guests had the time of their lives! THANK YOU PAT read more

Pat was the perfect DJ for us and our wedding. Discussing our wishes for how the night would go was easy and he was so professional and knew what he was doing at every step of the way. The tool he uses to collect our desired music was super easy to use. We even had to propose a last minute change to the schedule due to a health emergency, and Pat was immediately willing to help in any way he could. Working through everything with Pat was a breeze and it was so nice that in a stressful day, we never felt like we had to worry about the DJ because we knew he would have everything covered. I would recommend Pat to anyone in the area in need of a DJ. read more

DJ Pat was great to work with! We had a great experience and would def recommend him! He did a great job communicating with us and keeping things on track the day of our wedding! read more

Have you ever met someone who fits their job so well, that you are sure that is what they were born to do? That is DJ Pat. He was fun, easy to work with & extremely thoughtful and thorough throughout the entire process leading up to the event. If you are looking for an organized, fun, talented, passionate DJ, then DJ Pat is your guy! I highly highly recommend Sound Prodigy! Is there an option to give 6/5 stars ??!! read more

We had a wonderful winter wedding at the Disneyland Hotel. Despite us having a small wedding, Pat went all out for our event to make it special. Pat went out of his way to make the event perfect and it was way beyond a DJ asking for a playlist. Six months before the wedding Pat met up with us in person to discuss all the fine details of the wedding music and schedule. Once he got an idea of what kind of wedding we wanted, he worked with us and offered a number of amazing suggestions and ideas (both schedule and songs) that improved our wedding. During the day of the event, there were numerous changes in scheduling and Pat adapted to them so quickly and easily with no questions asked. Pat is the only DJ I have ever met who keeps music at an appropriate volume level, it was never loud or bassy at any point and made our event that much classier and intimate. He is super friendly, professional, and does an amazing job. All our guests were raving about him as well. I would not hesitate to hire Pat. read more

DJ Pat was such a great person to have as 'the host' of our wedding day. From all the prep work we did together before the wedding, making sure we had everything lined up and he was taking into account our ideas and opinions, to then his amazing presence and flow of the day with his emceeing and DJing from start to finish. He brought the best energy and professionalism to our wedding and he really brought the party to the dance floor! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ, as he made it so easy + such a great experience. read more

DJ Pat is the absolute best. This review is 5 years overdue but speaks to how wonderful and thoughtful he is. We reached out to Pat after seeing great reviews for Sound Prodigy when we were planning our wedding. He DJd our wedding in July of 2014 and was fantastic. He read the room, never once cleared the dance floor, and had an infectious energy. Throughout the planning process he provided great advice and insights. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Last night, my husband and I were at a wedding for a close friend. DJ Pat was the DJ so we re-introduced ourselves and caught up a bit. During the dinner, there was background music playing and Pat played the song my husband danced to for our first dance! He went into his database to play it just for us. It was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture and is a testament to how wonderful he is! I highly recommend Sound Prodigy for any wedding. read more

DJ Pat was our DJ for our wedding on 12/12/15 and he was amazing to work with. We wanted to hire someone that not only played good music but could MC the event and keep the timeline on schedule. DJ Pat kept the night moving and played great music. I really felt like the night flowed perfectly. When we met with him before the wedding he gave us great advice with the timeline and the dos and don'ts based on all of his experience. He has an online platform for clients that makes it really easy to add songs for the first dance and entrance. Our guests had such a great time! We did not want the night to end! Thank you DJ Pat! read more

DJ Pat was, in one word, fantastic. He had our guests on the dance floor with high energy at all the right times, dealt with impromptu speeches from family members we weren't expecting, and you could tell the preparation he helped us with beforehand paid off. My wife and I felt truly comfortable before, during and after the entire ceremony. He did an amazing job and we'd recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ for their big event! A special thanks to DJ Pat! We received compliments throughout the night and are truly thankful we had him at our wedding! Thank you! read more

Thank goodness our original DJ "double booked" (I really think he didn't want to do our wedding for other reasons), otherwise, I wouldn't have found DJ Pat at Sound Prodigy! DJ Pat's experience in his industry is proven through his professionalism and knowledge. There wasn't any type of music he didn't know, like our request for EDM during pre-ceremony, a single violinist musician for our ceremony and Acid Jazz for our cocktail hour. He offered up many suggestions and helped us create the perfect wedding vibe! The Sound Prodigy online music portal was easy to use and I loved that I can easily track payments and timelines. When it came to the day of our wedding, he and my on-site coordinator were N*Sync (catch that? :P ) and helped make the evening run so smoothly! DJ Pat was FRICKIN' AWESOME at gauging our guests; playing all the right music and keeping them dancing! The dance floor was never empty and everyone had a wonderful time! Lastly, I was on the fence about a photo booth because I was over my budget. DJ Pat, who also owns Booth of Smiles, was able to find me the right photo booth solution for my wedding and everyone had a BLAST using the photo booth! They even put together a scrap book for us to take home to keep all those memories. I HIGHLY recommend Sound Prodigy, Booth of Smiles and DJ Pat for your future events! You'd be missing out going through someone else! read more

I stumbled upon these guys after looking for a photo booth for my mom's bday (They were recommended by another company). I then learned that Sound Prodigy also provides DJ services. I ended up hiring Sound Prodigy for their DJ service and I couldn't be any happier! Since they're located in San Diego and I'm in Los Angeles, we mainly communicated thru their online event planner, emails and phone calls. I was able to utilize their online tools to plan my mom's bday from listing song requests to organizing the sequence of events. DJ Pat was already booked so he let DJ Joe do the job. DJ Joe did an AMAZING job!!!! Hands down the best DJ/Emcee! DJ Joe catered to all our request, worked with our program (even when there were last minute changes) and was very easy to work with. Everyone had a good time and had everyone dancing. I highly recommend these guys and will definitely hire them again at our next event. Thank you DJ Joe!! You made my mom's bday a very successful, fun and memorable night! read more

Pat is more than a DJ. He is a lighting and event specialist. He kept the event on track and people on the dance floor "ALL NIGHT LONG". The Starry Night Sky and Purple LED Up lights made a cheap room look fantastic and upscale. In regards to music, Pat played all of our jams and the ceremony went off without a hitch. Moreover, he kept the event on schedule. Great job Pat, and as a fellow musician, I highly recommend booking him for your next event. Cheers read more

Sound Prodigy - Pat transformed this room with his lighting skills - DJs Near Me - El Cajon, California

OMG you guys- DJ Pat is THE BEST! I hired Sound Prodigy/DJ Pat for our 04.02.23 micro-wedding at the La Jolla Shores Hotel. We had a toes-in-the-sand ceremony followed by cocktail hour at the hotel's garden area, followed by the reception upstairs in one of their ballrooms. DJ Pat expertly changed locations 3 times to provide us with ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music. No equipment or sound issues, no break in music. He also provided us with photo booth services, an antique answer phone, upgraded lighting, and a custom monogram that I personally designed. Trusting ONE person to provide us with ALL of those services scared me, but he came through and didn't let us down- he exceeded our expectations in every way. During the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner... the music was appropriate, from my list, and the volume wasn't so overpowering. It was perfect! During dancing- DJ Pat knew just the right songs from my list to keep the party alive. When you only have 30 people from 3 different generations, that's not an easy task- but Pat did it! We partied hard the whole time. I honestly thought people would leave early, but everyone stayed until the very end, dancing the night away! I hired DJ Pat without visiting him or meeting him in person, I didn't have friend or family recommendations since I planned my wedding from another state. I took a chance on him and you should too- he won't disappoint! read more

See all

DJ Pat is the best! We contacted him about nine months before our wedding after reading all of his great reviews, and we knew immediately that we wanted to book him as our DJ. He is so knowledgeable and helpful - he shared lots of great ideas for our wedding during our introductory phone call, both music-related and not. What we really liked is that DJ Pat is not just a DJ but also an emcee; he takes charge of the timeline for the wedding day and really helps to make sure everything goes smoothly. I also loved his online planning system! It made putting in our song requests and managing the timeline so easy. DJ Pat was also flexible on the times for our planning meetings which we especially appreciated since we were planning from the East Coast. Our wedding day was absolutely incredible, and I attribute so much of that to DJ Pat keeping everything on schedule and really setting the atmosphere with the music. From the grand entrance, to the special dance, to the toasts - DJ Pat made sure we were where we needed to be and made sure everything was announced so none of our guests missed anything. And the music! DJ Pat made sure to play all of our special requests, and he kept the energy up from the minute we opened the dance floor until the very last song. Our wedding guests danced the ENTIRE night!! I am not exaggerating. People I have never seen dance before were out there dancing and having the best time. It was so much fun!! Thank you DJ Pat for helping to make our wedding the day of our dreams. And for all of you planning, I would HIGHLY recommend Sound Prodigy! read more

We had DJ Pat for our recent wedding. I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about DJ Pat, and our experience with Sound Prodigy. Our wedding turned out better than I could've dreamed, and we have DJ Pat to thank. His experience and knowledge, not only in regards to DJ services, but also in regards lighting, reception setup, and even dance floor monograms is unparalleled. This man not only walked us through the planning app step by step, he also handled all of our lighting, and cooked up something special for the dance floor! My wedding planner was young, and perhaps inexperienced. DJ Pat took the time to personally email her with pictures of previous weddings he had done in the same space, showing her how the lighting would look, where power needed to be, and even helped my design the layout of the reception, after my wedding planner kept getting it wrong. He truly went above and beyond anything I could've hoped for. Thank you DJ Pat, for everything! You saved our wedding, and we will never forget you! read more

Pat was an outstanding Dj and provided structure to our wedding. We felt comfortable and confident through the process. He is punctual, professional and will be highly recommended to family and friends! read more

DJ Pat is the best! He is organized and professional but still very fun! He is easy to meet with and will happily guide you to music choices he thinks will help you achieve the vibe you want for your wedding. The online music portal is AMAZING! He is prompt to respond to any questions or concerns. I also love that he takes it upon himself to help coordinate the day and doesn't just read of a schedule. he pays attention to what is actually going on and adjusts accordingly. Everyone had a blast dancing at our wedding and Pat was able to incorporate the special dances I wanted and found perfect versions of the songs I wanted too. We also had a photo booth from Booth of Smiles...it was great! Awesome props, plenty of room for groups and 2 photo strips...1 to take home and 1 for the guest book (which they provide!). Thanks for being part of the great team that made our day perfect and seamless!! read more

Pat was awesome!! Working with Pat was a very seamless process for our wedding. He is patient, kind, and had many options and suggestions when we were unsure of certain songs or the general flow of our wedding. Pat kept our dance floor going all night long and we had so many guests compliment the music and general atmosphere of our wedding. We cannot recommend him enough!! We also used his photo booth company (Adventure Bus), and our guests loved the VW Bus and getting photos printed for their take home gifts. Do yourself a favor and book a talented and kind DJ!! read more

DJ Danny was amazing! Worked with us from start to finish. He always responded fast to any questions I had. Day of wedding was hectic due to rain and he helped keep the schedule going. The music played kept people dance. Overall, he gave us a night to remember, great experience, and would highly recommend DJ Danny! read more

We had Danny for our wedding in August, and we are so thankful we chose him! He was so accommodating, from meeting with us before the wedding, to taking our calls whenever we had questions. We were concerned about our aisle song being too slow, so he even edited the song for us to be a bit more upbeat, and it sounded perfect. He was so on top of the timeline the whole night, I don't know what we would have done without him! read more

Had a really great time, music was great and enjoyed the night without any issues with music and noise levels or anything. Thanks for creating a great environment read more

My husband and I hired DJ Pat for our wedding at Mt. Woodson Castle and we are so happy that we did! His system is so easy to use whether it be communicating updates, collecting guest requests, selecting songs for the ceremony and reception, or getting music inspiration. We didn't know what we wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, etc. and Pat was kind enough to hop on a call and walk us through where we could find suggestions. Pat made the wedding day a smooth process and was an engaging host for our dinner guests. I loved all of the music and our guests told me they did as well. 10/10 recommend DJ Pat! read more

DJ Pat is professional and incredibly knowledgeable. He made us feel as ease throughout the whole process. We appreciated his willingness to meet and answer questions. He made our wedding reception high energy and fun! read more

DJ Pat was amazing for our wedding at Mt Woodson Castle. He was very personable and enthusiastic. DJ pat made our wedding day as stress free as it could have been. He did an excellent job playing the music we wanted and worked closely with us when choosing different genres and gave great recommendations on songs. I would recommend DJ Pat as the MC for any wedding. He will make the wedding go smoothly and seamlessly. read more

We had the honor of having DJ Pat be our DJ for my husband and I'd wedding in August 2021 and we are SO GLAD we chose him!!!! He went above & beyond and kept all our guests dancing the night away! He is such professional and kept true to our music style for our wedding!! He knows how to read the room and keep the dance floor packed! HIGHLY recommend DJ Pat!! read more

We were so happy to have found DJ Pat, which was a pretty easy decision being that both our coordinator and venue highly recommended Sound Prodigy off the bat! We had planned our wedding from Connecticut so could only have our meetings with Pat via phone, but he was always so responsive throughout the entire planning process and really made us feel just as comfortable and involved than we would have felt being there. My husband and I were really indecisive with a number of songs, but Pat helped give us some great suggestions to make a perfect playlist. Also, I sent Pat an email *the night before our wedding* asking if he could add in a traditional Albanian song (to honor my family's heritage) and with no hesitation, he added it right into our playlist. I only later found out that the song I gave him was not easily available on any major music sites and he spent a good amount of time in his office the morning of our wedding to make sure he could find one with adequate quality for us :). Something we also really appreciated was how well he reads the crowd and tailors the music to fit the vibe. He openly takes requests (once he makes sure the bride and groom are Ok with this) and the guests learn to love him! He also works great with coordinators and is involved in the whole timeline process making things run as smooth as possible-- which not many DJs do!! Pat offers a number of other services such as lighting and the MOST AMAZING photo van/booth ever!! This was seriously a highlight of our wedding (which we weren't originally going to do... but were so happy we did!!!) ... and you cannot beat his prices. If you're reading this and in need of a DJ, definitely reach out to Pat! read more

Our guests loved Pat and even our other vendors were so impressed by him. He created the smoothest transitions between songs and truly knows how to keep the party going. He was wonderful to work with and made the whole process fun. BOOK PAT!!! You won't regret it. read more

I'm so happy with DJ Pat and Sound Prodigy! When we started our search we wanted to find someone who could go read the crowd and decide what would keep people dancing. Anyone can make a playlist, but we wanted to have our family relax and not have to put someone in charge of watching it, adjusting the volume, making announcements, etc. I don't trust every Yelp Rating, but with soooo many 5 star reviews and so many positive things said about him, we decided to book him for our wedding reception. Everything went smoothly and he was sure to play the requests we put on the website. We planned certain events at our reception and he worked well with the timeline we gave him. There were a couple of surprises our family had planned for us, and when Pat found out about them he was able to work with them. Not only did he adjust our timeline smoothly and keep the surprises a secret, he was able to provide the perfect music to accompany them. I mean, how many people know how to handle it when a T-Rex shows up at the reception??? Thanks, Pat, for helping make our wedding day so wonderful! read more
