I do not recommend the musicians hired for my friend's private event this past Saturday…read more Prior to booking, I reviewed feedback from others and noticed a recurring concern regarding poor communication. Unfortunately, that was exactly the experience we encountered. After receiving payment, the musicians left the venue without any communication or explanation. The venue has a strict noise ordinance, which required additional coordination, setup adjustments, and effort in order to proceed with the performance. Despite being aware of these circumstances and after having already been paid, they chose to leave rather than communicate or work through the situation. Their lack of professionalism and communication created unnecessary stress and disappointment for my friend on what was supposed to be a special and memorable day. Clear communication, especially when unexpected challenges arise, is essential when providing services for important events. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend their services. I truly hope they listen to everyone's feedback and do better, no one deserves to be ghosted during any special event, and we do not wish to hinder people who love to work and love what they do. Please do better !! My friends and I support local businesses.

They were hired to provide live music and arrived at the venue, but couldn't use their speakers because the venue wouldn't allow them and instead offered alternative equipment. Everyone agreed to the change, and they were paid in cash at the moment. Shortly afterward, they left without performing and stopped responding to calls and messages. Although my friend eventually received a refund, the stress, confusion, and last-minute disappointment they caused on her wedding day were completely unacceptable and completely ruined what should have been one of the happiest days of her life. No bride should have to deal with this kind of experience, especially on such a special occasion. We are extremely disappointed with the lack of professionalism and communication and would not recommend this vendor to anyone.

The more I hear it the more I love it. Someday soon, I'll be able to say "Yeah, Adyen Graham, I remember him before he got wicked famous". Check him out.

Ayden was very communicative and made certain he understood the meaning of the event, the tone of our crowd and then he completely over delivered!

So many guests at our wedding commented how amazing Rose is and the music she played was spot on! Luckily I got to hear her playing during yoga because the only songs I heard was the processional and recessional! Hahaha last one in, first one out. Music really sets the vibe for the whole wedding and Rose nailed it! I saw pictures and videos of people dancing during cocktail hour to her music. Warms my heart so much to see people just enjoying their time. Rose is super easy to contact and she responds quickly to emails. I love that she doesn't only play songs on her song list but is willing to learn any song- that really ensured the songs we really wanted was played! Like I really wanted an EDM song for my processional and Rose was able to play it beautifully!! You won't regret hiring Rose for any of your events, and especially for weddings!

DJ Vadim did a great job DJing our wedding at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park. He was…read moreprofessional, timely, and played great music throughout. We highly recommend him, especially at challenging venues like Yosemite. The initial process was fairly straightforward. After agreeing to his fair price we created a list of must play songs, do not play songs, and a list of other songs and artists we like, as well as our choices for processional and recessional songs. He was happy to communicate with us and our wedding planner. He was pleasant and friendly to chat with. At the event itself he impressed us by putting together three separate setups, one for the ceremony, one for the dinner, and one for the reception. The ceremony setup was particularly challenging because everything needed to be battery powered, and some DJs won't even work without an electric setup. Things worked very well during the ceremony, and everyone could hear things well. It is clear that he knows how to work at the Ahwahnee and this is extremely important at this venue. For the dinner he played light background music according to our tastes and did some simple, straightforward announcements, which we appreciated because we wanted to keep things moving. The dance party was where he really blew us away. Not only did he have a full audio setup, but he also had lighting as well, all done without any significant instruction from us. We had a wedding planner specifically because we didn't want to be involved in every detail of planning and setup, so to have DJ Vadim get everything done without asking us a lot of questions was perfect for us. The dance party was really fun--he played almost all of our requested songs and added a lot of other great ones as well. He kept things moving and we stayed on the dance floor the entire time! He didn't play anything from the don't play list or interrupt the music with unprofessional chatter. He mixed songs together very well and had a good feel for the crowd, not moving too quickly when people were having fun, but fading in a new song if the current one didn't have people moving. I had numerous people come up to us during and after the dance party to say how great DJ Vadim was, and I agree! Highly recommend him!

Zebuel is not only an amazing musician and DJ, but also the curator of event excellence. He brought to life with his team a NOLA influenced second-line to keep our wedding celebrations alive post ceremony, heading into the reception with instruments and all the bells & whistles. Not only was this an epic highlight for our guests, but something my husband and I only thought could happen in our dreams! He truly listened to our wants/needs with flawless execution, but above all else, went above & beyond to ensure this was the best day/night of our lives. From lighting, a DJ/live instrument fusion, and photography from So Good Photobooth, we could not recommend this Team more for your next special event ~ whether corporate or personal! Because of this Team, we had an unforgettable and picture-perfect event filled with our favorite people and the musical experience of our lifetime. Thank you Sounds Elevated for rockin us forward into marriage & beyond!

For…read morestarters, he brings a great blend of laid-back willingness to meet any idea or request, with a sharp music acumen and event expertise. He worked with us during each step of the planning process, never pressing, to amplify our vision. A special shout out for a meaningful family/bridal party/etc. song. Playing a particular remix of a song we like. Nailing down particular subgenres during each stage of the night. Attentive to our song dislikes and "no plays". But at the same time, adding his expert feel and live touch for what the crowd was wanting. Zeb and his team built standout moments - our crowd even started a room-wide conga line (who does that anymore?). And a shout-a-long of Bohemian Rhapsody as our closer for the night. And the live sax fusion... everyone kept commenting about that being their favorite part of the night. At the same time, he simplified all of our anxieties in what can be a whale of a planning process. He got our mindset/vision immediately and was the perfect amount of helpful in steering us to the best party ever.
