Yikes! Steer CLEAR from this DJ group. Exceptionally unprofessional, and rude. I called with an inquiry but ultimately and decided to go with another company, . next thing I know I am receiving text messages from the owner with profanity, said he "ordered some rain" for my outdoor event, and made personal attacks on my character. Oh my.... And this was going on DURING my party. Luckily, the DJ we did hire was PHENOMENAL, and everyone had a blast. See my other reviews for a great DJ, just not AAA!!! read more

Matty was our DJ, and he did a fabulous job! He was super professional, extremely experienced, and knows the business really well. We had many of our guest tell us how he did such a great job. He was on point and kept the flow of the wedding going. He even has some tricks to make the photographers job easier! We were definitely happy with our decision to have Matty DJ our wedding! read more

Matty D made our wedding reception sensational!! We literally danced the entire reception with our guests and everyone had such a blast. To this day, I still get compliments about how great everything was for our wedding, and one of the people that I have to thank for that experience is AAA Sound Sensation! read more

My name is Michelle and I am one of Matty Bolda's clients. I was using ALL of Matty's services. I was planning on using his services for my wedding on September 24, 2016. My fiancé and I booked his services on September 23, 2015. A whole year in advance as Matty told us that was the only day in September he did not have an event booked and he urged us to book right away. He insisted that we pay only in cash... Okay. We agreed. He said by paying him cash we would save money and he would give us a better deal. He was going to to not only provide photography, videography, photo booth, and DJ but he was also going to marry us. We were asked to pay cash that day. He wanted a retainer of $1200.00. We gave him all the cash we had on us and gave him the rest days later. Matty seemed like such a great guy. He is a hunter, just like My fiancé and he even sent us home with some wild game. We were really looking forward to our wedding that Matty Bolda was going to coordinate for us. On May 15, 2016 my life came to an end. My fiancé suddenly passed away. I tried contacting Matty Bolda to cancel all our services and let him know ASAP so he can possibly rebook the day however Matty would not get back to me. Instead, I was only allowed to speak with his wife, Jeannie, who I had never met and did not know she was part of his business. This is the email I received when I asked if there was any way I could get my deposit back since Matty and his crew had completed 0 hours of work for my wedding, he had not even start working on a play list. "As per our contract, the deposit is our retainer in order to retain the services and the people involved for a given event. Therefore, reviewing the contracts you have signed, we have used your retainer to pay for the photo booth attendant, photographer and videographer for 09/24/16. We do that as a company to insure that those appropriate people are booked on your behalf for the upcoming event and those people cannot book anything else for that specific date. Therefore, we do not refund the retainer. As a formality, we would also need you to provide a copy of the death certificate for our files. This will also release you from the unpaid balance. But, in light of your circumstance, you may use the retainer you have given us for a future event if you decide to use our services. You can view your retainer as a gift card. Again, we are very sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Jeannie Bolda Matty D's Wife" A GIFT CARD? For what? Do you want to be DJ at my fiancé's FUNERAL, take pictures, what??? Every other vendor I used was very understanding. This was not a situation where we decided to call off our wedding. MY FIANCÉ DIED!!!! Matty D, DJ and Photography is the only vendor giving me a hard time. After my friend tried calling on my behalf as I was dealing with my grief and planning My fiancé's memorial. She again explained the situation to Jeannie and asked if they could please refund the retainer. Jeannie however was very short and rude. My friend asked if there was a possibility if they rebook the day could they then give my deposit back and her response was that "I doubt that they will" She then told my friend, that the 2 people on the contract are Michelle and her fiancé and they would only speak to them moving forward. Really? Obviously you can only speak to one person on the contract because the other person died. My friend asked if she would at least speak to my mother as I was dealing with my grief and she said no, only Michelle and her fiancé. What a slap in the face for her to even mention his name. I then spoke with Jeannie on the phone and told her I would like Matty Bolda to give me a call. Three weeks went by and I never heard from him. Finally, he contacted me. I asked if I could get my retainer back. He said no. I asked for 50% back he said no. He said that his employees depend on the 52 Saturdays a year of work to pay their mortgages. I said so your workers get paid for 0 hours of work? He said he looks at it like losing $3300.00 not gaining $1200.00 for nothing. I told him how, his wife was very rude to not only my friend but also to me when I spoke to her and Jeannie requested to speak with either my dead fiancé or I. She had no compassion. I told Matty that his wife is going to be the reason he loses business. I said I have rapport with you and wanted to speak with you about this matter. He said that he was "too much of a sap for these stories" so he hands these matters to his wife. I told him that if he wants to be a successful businessman he would have to have these "difficult" conversations with his clients. I find it hard to believe that he will not rebook this day, considering a year ago he had limited days available... If you plan to do business with Matty Bolda prepare to have cash ready and make sure your wedding will go through no matter what because he won't refund you even if your future bride or groom dies. read more

Our pictures by Courtney turned out great, and she was fantastic to work with. Matty, on the other hand, screwed up our wedding ceremony (he did not bother to read any of it before he did it for real) and he also didn't have our music requests ready and therefore played the wrong songs at the wrong time. very disappointed for such a big day for us and he didn't even take the time to prepare. read more

Beware of this company they were hired to do my wedding and it was a nightmare hours before my wedding Matty D calls to let me know he lost the list of music my now husband and I had compiled for months and on that list had the entire wedding party names and who was who, he wanted to come over to my home so I could create a new list well that was impossible I had a house full of people and I was in the middle of getting ready for my special day so I told him to look for that list, of course he did not, the entire time at the wedding/reception his crew who is his wife and two kids kept interrupting my husband and I as what songs I wanted played and I had to give them the list of names of the Wedding party once again funny thing is when we meet with him two weeks before the wedding and paid our remaing balance to him in cash cause that's how he wanted the balance to be paid he did not lose the money we gave him, my husband and I both let him know that we expected to be reimbursed for our troubles and of course he told us it was not going to happen since he had provided an extra light that was worth 500.00 what a joke, I also used him for the photos that when I received them they were just average photos not one picture was a WOW picture when I emailed him to find out when my pictures would be on his website to view so family members could see them he told me I never paid the extra charge for that well the quote price he has on the Knot wedding website states $0.00-999.00 I paid way over that, I don't want this to happen to another couple on their very special day read more
