Highly recommend!
Our DJ Christian was amazing! He was sooo much fun and the song choices were on point. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Everyone danced the night away!
True wedding professionals.
We have been wedding photographers for 13 years and have worked with Island Sound more times than we can count throughout the years. There is a reason that our couples keep hiring them, love them and have an amazing experience working with their team. They are true wedding professionals who work hard to make sure couples have their dream wedding.

Check with the office for availability- typically, we do have availability due to our large staff. Saturdays in wedding season tend to book up by 3-6 months before. “Wedding Season” runs March-June and September-November in the South. In the North, April-September.
We assign our DJs about a month prior. Assignment is based on availability, and the information we receive from you on the questionnaire as to which one would best suit your wedding and venue. Each DJ averages about 20 weddings a year. Most of our DJs have been with the company or have prior experience of over 3 years.
This has been done in the past but is not common; I can think of only one or two times this year that a DJ has done two events in a day. An example would be a sunrise wedding from 6-10am, then an evening corporate event from 7pm-12am.
More than likely, the answer is yes! We’ve been in business since 2008, having performed for thousands of weddings and special events in this time. Check with the office to see if we’ve been to your venue; if not, we will be in touch with your venue coordinator to receive layout, load-in instructions, parking details, and other information.
Each DJ’s style is a little different, as they are each their own unique person! However, they are all trained the same way, by the same person, and are almost exclusively wedding DJs. Our primary goal at Island Sound, above everything else, is to keep things from feeling awkward. We are Wedding DJs, not Radio DJs, Club DJs, Rave DJs, or Bar DJs.
We have lots and lots of videos available to watch! Check out our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5WLMoB-osBn9yZqDuoYb3g/
We can help make suggestions for special dances, such as father-daughter dance! However, in my experience, I would fill out the form with your fiance to decide on songs together. It makes it that much more special when you go to dance and can remember doing that together. My husband and I found our first dance song from a commercial when we were watching tv together!
Our music library is any song you can think of! If we don’t already own it, we will purchase it at no cost to you. We can cover any genre. In 10 years, we have done a wide range of different weddings, spanning cultures, race, and religion.
We do not have any set go-to playlists. We know that no two weddings are alike, so we do not perform “cookie cutter” weddings with playlists. Island Sound really tries to tailor each wedding to your specific wants and wishes. For one wedding, they may demand a certain song be played, while one the very next day has that song on their “do not play” list.
Yes! We always have an emergency on-call DJ ready to go! Emergency DJs are confirmed week-of; they receive all details, forms, and pick up their equipment.
The DJs do not take any breaks. If he needs to use the restroom, he will cue up the next song and be back before it ends. Our DJs are not allowed to smoke at events.
We do! Wedding DJs—the good ones at least—are as much MCs as DJs. We control the flow of an event, making introductions and announcements with appropriate and friendly charisma, avoiding any semblance of cheesiness or awkwardness.
The DJ will read the crowd appropriately to see what they respond to, whether that be changing from 90s throwbacks to Today’s Hits (depending on preference in the form). He will also let the crowd know that he can take requests (if approved to do so in the form)
We prefer to, because everyone wants to hear “their song” get played, but if you want to stick to a set list, or would prefer to not see your mom do the Wobble, that’s completely up to you!
Of course! It’s on the last page of the form we will have you fill out.
For the timeline listed, it would be a 5 hour package- 1 hour total for ceremony, cocktail hour, 3 hour reception. 5 hours is $1200, 6 hours is $1350. For other price points, please visit our brochure: https://islandsoundlive.com/wedding-brochure/
Nope! Everything is detailed in our brochure for costs; check out at the end, “Additional Services and Equipment” to see if you will need to add on anything extra. Typically, all that is necessary is the standard DJ package.
We are fully licensed and insured and can provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance with your venue listed as additionally insured, if desired.
Yes! The package includes a lapel “lavaliere” mic for the officiant and two handheld mics, if needed. As long as time is covered, this equipment is available for use.
All equipment is tested before the event, on a weekly basis, to ensure everything is in working order. However, there are “fail safes” in place in the event of a malfunction. For example: The computer’s back up is an iPad.
The DJ will arrive 2 hours prior and it only takes him about 30-45 minutes to break down.
Meals are encouraged for events over 4 hours, but are not required. Just let us know on the form ahead of time, so he can eat before or bring a snack.
We do not. We can give guests business cards upon request, however, the booth and DJ’s suit will not have any signs/banners/etc. The most “advertising” would be our logo on his polo as he sets up, before he changes into his suit.
