Although they have not (yet) planned my wedding I have worked with them on several other events and their ideas are always unique and well executed. From finding florists to venues to helping refine the theme, I got all of the help I needed and more. And again, don't rule out asking for help for non-weddings too. After working with these gals for large scale catered corporate events, I know the can handle just about anything I throw at them. Including my future wedding! (Eep) They take care of you right down to the smallest of details and their "no sweat" approach will make your event everything you want it to be. I cannot recommend them enough and can't wait to work with them again for my next party idea!

Mike was with us onsite at the venue all day capturing every moment from the pre ceremony through the send off.

Speaking of the video, not only did Mike give us a video of the ceremony and reception he also gave us a 15min highlight reel too! Not only would I highly recommend Mike to family, friends or anyone who would listen; I plan on using him again for any future videography/ photography needs! Thanks again Mike for helping make our Big Day special and capturing every second of it!

What would you do if on your wedding day, the DJ you've been working with the whole planning year…read moresent his dad and didn't show up himself? Well, that's what happened to us. We first met with John Jr. of CrossSound Audio one year prior to our wedding date. We thought John Jr. was very personable and seemed like he knew the business really well. His main selling point? Typically if they're booked to be at an event, it's usually him that emcees through the evening and his dad, John Sr. ensures, from a technical stand point, nothing falls apart. John Jr. also took pride in the fact that they invest in the best equipment in the industry and that they value their prized equipment because John Sr. used to be in a band. Well, great! We were sold and since we liked John Jr., we decided to book them. Flash forward to our wedding day, an hour before the ceremony John Sr. walks up to me and explains that John Jr. won't be coming because John Jr's. wife (who's a wedding planner) also had a wedding, and that DJ decided to not show up. So, John Jr. decided to not show to our wedding to rescue his poor wife. We were shocked!!! Because throughout the year, we've worked only with Jr. John Sr. met with us once, but we didn't communicate via email nor were we confident that he knew the details of our wedding. I figured there was no need to get upset, and just go with it. Here's what went wrong: 1. The cueing of the procession was late..it started after people started walking. 2. Cueing of the recession was wrong. I had the song start at the chorus, but he started it from the beginning. 3. The introduction of the wedding party was quiet and boring. We wanted it to have more of a sports team intro feel to it but what we got was a snooze fest. 4. He refused to play Eminem's "Airplanes" because he said it was explicit when a guest requested it. He didn't even come to ask me if it was all right. 5. We gave him a specific playlist that he chose to sometimes follow and sometimes ignore. 6. The microphone decided to not work when the Matron of Honor gave her speech. After about 6 tries, she had to shout her speech. 7. Even when the speakers worked for the Best Man speech, we could hardly hear him. After our wedding, we decided to provide some candid feedback and ask for an explanation for why we were ditched by John Jr. They, still to this day, believe that they went "above and beyond our expectations" (straight from their mouths). My issue here is, MEETING our expectations meant that our DJ had to show up. Not showing up automatically deserves a FAIL don't you think?!?! The least they could have done was tell me as soon as they found out and explained the situation to me, rather than waiting an hour before the ceremony. That was unacceptable to me. In all fairness though, we asked for $450 back as a refund to compensate and they gave us $350 in the end, aftering a nail scratching on black board experience defending ourselves. CrossSound Audio is a poorly ran family owned business with unethical practices. They should not even be in this industry if they choose to serve their clients in this manner. Not only will I not use them again, I will be spreading my experience around to newly engaged friends and acquaintances. No one should have to hear from a guest, "Your DJ is horrible, you should ask for your money back!" while making your rounds greeting guests on your wedding day. I hope more people come on Yelp to share their experience with this company because people need to know. If I could give them 0 star, I would but Yelp won't let me.

My experience with CrossSound could not have been more different than Cindi's was…read more I just used John and John for my wedding last Friday and it was the most fantastic event EVER. John Jr was my contact and we talked several times before the wedding, he even went as far as to come up to the venue a few weeks before the ceremony to make sure he knew where to set up and verified that he would have ample outlets, etc. We went over my play list not once, but 3 different times, he even made some helpful suggestions for me. On the day of the wedding, both Johns were at the venue before I was, and were already sound checking and setting up. I used a customized song to walk down the aisle to, and with 9 attendants on each side plus 2 flower girls, it seemed like a complicated mess, but John looped the intro of my song, and when it was time for my dad and I to walk down, I was walking to the song I love, right where I wanted it to play. After the ceremony, both Johns stayed on track, kept our guests engaged, and played great music. I received several compliments after wards from friends and family saying he was one of the best DJ's they had seen at any wedding and a few of my friends asked for his contact info for their own upcoming ceremonies and events. Overall, I have no regrets about using these guys, would absolutely use them again, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great DJ for their event. Thanks John!
