Eric and his team were AMAZING and literally made the whole wedding a success! He included my few requests but mostly on his own made everything flow perfectly. We couldn't be happier, and couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

Eric did an absolutely AMAZING job at our wedding! He made the whole party, literally. I cannot recommend him highly enough!!!!

We hired Sound Explosion Event Group for our wedding last week and they were phenomenal! Mike DeMaio was our DJ. He worked the crowd and knew how to read the room perfectly. I am not lying when I said we had a 2.5 hour NON STOP dance set! My family and friends were raving about how great the music was and how he was in sync with the vibes the whole night. He has a form you fill out where you can detail exactly what music you'd like to hear and all the dances and entrance songs! One thing I didn't realize was his form was missing fields for the processional and recessional songs for the ceremony but a simple email fixed that. He queued up all the songs perfectly and didn't miss a beat. He also did our string lights which came out wonderfully. Definitely would hire him in a heart beat. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect DJ for my wedding, Thank you Mike! read more

When my husband and I started this wedding process, we had no idea what we were doing or looking for. We relied heavily on recommendations and when my MOH recommended Sound Explosions, I set up a meeting. Turns out, their business was 5 min from my house and that we all even had mutual friends. Small world. It broke the ice immediately, but even if it hadnt, Mike and Steven made everything super comfortable anyway. We met a couple times to discuss and it was always easy. They listened to what I wanted, dealt with my over organized personality with a smile, and understood us as a couple. Frankly, we were not conventional. The weirder or more unique something was, the better. From asking Steven to not wear black (which he didn't), playing uncommon ceremony songs to giving a sample playlist mainly consisting of reggae, Sound Explosions came through. They did exactly as we asked, and really allowed us to have a great party. Steven kept the party going, was lively, on time, and dressed to the nines. Several times I actually went to thank him for coming because he fit in as a guest so well. The mirror photo booth was a huge hit, and the staff even danced along all time. The next day when we went back to the venue, the staff told us we had the best wedding and that they were dancing to the music on the sidelines. In the end, Steven came through we exchanged hugs because well, we family now! Bottom Line: Great prices, great customer service, great music, and overall a great time! Book them now! read more

BOOK! BOOK! BOOK! MIKE was amazing! With any party you want people to dance and have a good time and Mike did not disappoint! All our guests had the best time at our event. During my dad's speech he mentioned a song we grew up with, and at the end of the night Mike played it!! Wow, what a wonderful surprise. He was easy to work with and listened to our song suggestions (I kept our list to about 10 songs, so he could go off the vibe of the room.) And boy did he read the room, if one song wasn't working for a certain generation he'd transition or blended into the next song. He is wonderful! Easy to work with and enjoys what he does! read more

What a great time! Steve was amazing. Was very attentive to the needs and wishes of his hosts, chose a great playlist throughout the night including mealtime. Did a great job reading the room and playing exactly what those on the dance floor wanted to hear to keep moving. I HIGHLY recommend this team. read more

I just used Eric and his guys for my kids Bar Mitzvah in the city. They did an amazing job. The DJ played the perfect appropriate music.ALL THE KIDS WERE ON THE DANCEFLOOR THE ENTIRE TIME. They were completely engaged. The dancers/ entertainers were really great at what they did. They put together a photo montage that had the whole place in tears. They did the candle lighting ceremony perfectly without a hitch. Everything and their entire staff was perfect from start to finish. Thank you. read more

Firstly, my review is solely based on my conversations with Steve and the members of his team that I recently met at a bridal expo, rather than my experience with them as the hired production team for my cousins upcoming wedding. As maid of honor to a very relaxed and calm bride I was designated (ok, self appointed) as the point of contact for all vendors at the expo and anything wedding related in general. At the expo we met with 2 people from the company who were not only patient with answering my laundry list of questions but also enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. We gave them the vision for the wedding which is not the typical "high energy dance party" many weddings are and asked how music can be incorporated into a more sophisticated destination wedding where the atmosphere was more romantic and more of a large dinner party setting. rather than just say "we'll play any music you want" and expecting us to swoon, they explained the entire process from picking songs, customizing the equipment set up to match the venue, and most importantly gave in depth answers on how they match their work force for the evening with the energy of the event to give you a completely customized experience. Later in the night I went back to ask more questions about incorporating live music in addition to the DJ and spoke with Steve. He was phenomenal. Just listening to me explain the vision for the wedding I knew he got the look and feel we were going for 100%. Most impressive I have to say is that in the days after the expo I got a phone call from Steve to follow up on our previous conversations. Any other vendor we met that night sent a very generic email just reintroducing themselves and asking if we were interested in setting up a meeting. The conversation truly was a pleasure. Steve offered so many suggestions and tips knowing that the bride wasn't even committed to a decision on booking them yet! Not many vendors would be so quick to offer their help without a commitment to them. It was a no pressure conversation that truly didn't feel like a sales pitch. Even if the bride and groom choose to go another direction with their entertainment this company already deserved a great review just based on the initial conversations we had. read more

Mike D recently did my wedding out in Pennsylvania. We were extremely happy with him and his amazing staff. Before the wedding Mike met with us several times to ensure our requests were met. He was extremely professional and prudent. The set up at the wedding was great and kept the entire night running smooth. We needed to make a few last minute adjustments during the night and it was all easily taken care of by Mike and his staff. We will definitely be using Sound Explosion for future events. read more

5 stars....I have to take a moment to give a huge thanks to Sound Explosion Eric and his amazing crew Hugh (DJ) & Patrick (MC). So pleased we chose them for my daughters Sweet 16. Eric made us feel comfortable from the start. At the consultation he sat with us and walked us through all the options & pricing he is professional and thorough and didn't push us to take anything we didn't need. Hugh played amazing music and definitely listened to my daughters request. He played all the songs she wanted. His timing was superb. He was spot on with choices of music and had great variety for everyone . He came prepared and was set up and ready to go! He amped up the guest for sure everyone was on the dance floor all night! Omg I am at a loss for Patrick's energy! His genuine care free spirit was great. This MC truly hyped the crowd. He had everyone up and dancing. The dance battles with him that happened throughout the night between young and old where so great! He paid close attention to my daughter and her friends making sure they where going strong on the dance floor the whole night! Together Hugh and Patrick formed an amazing team that made the night truly amazing, wonderful and most importantly memorable! read more

Eric and the crew at Sound Explosion are amazing! They are professional and very talented! Eric understood exactly what I wanted just by giving him a list of music! He has a great sense of people and can judge anyone's style based on just a few requests. The guests at my wedding are still talking about how great the music was! Everyone was on the dance floor! I think I (the bride) was on the dance floor the whole night. He catered to all ages and made several engaging, heartfelt announcements. I absolutely recommend them. He will guide you and handle all of the logistics. Brides, you won't have to worry about a thing! Reasonably priced as well. read more

I used Sound Explosion on May 20, 2016 for my daughter's Sweet 16. Hui was our DJ & Eric MC'd the party. We also contracted them for the photo booth for our guests. BRAVO!! FABULOUS!!! OMG!!!

I had very specific requests with regards to certain music because of her theme & Eric knew exactly what I wanted & delivered SPOT ON! The event went off without a hitch & the guests thought they both did a fabulous job. I would highly recommend them for your next event. read more
