We had the pleasure of working with DJ Tony for our June wedding at the Cork Factory Hotel in Lancaster. We had multiple planning meetings with both Chris, Soundwaves owner, as well as DJ Tony leading up to our wedding. These meetings were informative and both Chris and Tony brought tons of ideas and recommendations to the table. Using the Soundwaves online planning website was so incredibly easy--my partner and I were able to add songs and formulate our timeline in it, as well as list the exact songs we didn't want to hear at all (I'm looking at you, SexyBack...). Tony took our 'can play' and 'play under penalty of death' lists and came up with the best 90's-00's dance party ever!! We had an even split in our guest list, about 40% were 60+ and the other 60% were the dancing crowd. Tony and his assistant (his sweet wife!) started our night with lots of 60's and 70's tunes that everyone could get up to dance to, and our floor was packed! As the night went on, he played more modern songs on our must-play list and the older guests filled out onto the patio and into the pub, but that left plenty of space for our younger family and friends to really let loose!
Our absolute favorite part of the night was the final line-up. We're college sweethearts, and about 45 of our guests all attended the same school and went to the same college dive bar, so it was important to us that we represent that time together. Tony played the final 4 songs our dive bar closed down to every single night, and our crowd lost it!! It was an absolute hit with all of our friends! We also decided to do a final song of the night, originally to be played as everyone headed out. I chose La Vive En Rose to honor my new husband, so the two of us stayed out on the dance floor and slow-danced to our final song of the night. Halfway though, our parents and close friends joined us with their spouses, and our photographer got some amazing shots of all the love. Honestly, it's one of the highlights of the day for me, and I'm so glad Tony was able to get the obscure version of the song to play for my husband!
Highly recommend using Soundwaves, especially DJ Tony, for your wedding or event! They're extremely professional and we had zero doubts that they would be able to handle anything that came their way! read more
