Oh, where to start...? Arlene, arlene, arlene - if you didn't know that I married my husband you…read moremight think I was gay. Seriously, I love this girl. It is because of her that we chose Sound Fusion for our entertainment. We caught them in passing at a bridal show in Las Vegas and it was seriously like love at first sight (for me).
First and foremost, I was looking for a DJ/Emcee that would not wear a bowtie or a shiny vest, or start yelling at my guests to try and take over the reception, or start playing YMCA or The Macarena.
If that isn't reason enough to go with Sound Fusion... Why Arlene and Sound Fusion? If you ever have the pleasure of meeting this crew I would be extremely surprised if you weren't blown away by Arlene on the spot. She was charismatic, outgoing, and genuinely interested and excited about what she does. When I called her for the first time after the bridal show, which mind you was almost 4 months later, we talked for almost 2 hours! She wasn't trying to "sell" me on Sound Fusion - we just talked about wedding plans in general: where I was in the process, what vendors I had already lined up, etc. It was like I had found a "soul mate" in the best friend sense from another life.
Upon booking Sound Fusion, Arlene wasted no time in getting the process rolling. From setting meeting dates, to song lists, and even making sure I secured the rest of my vendors in a timely manner, Arlene was super-organized through the entire process.
I think the best thing about Sound Fusion is how down to earth they are. They have a ton of clients at any given time, but somehow they make you feel like you're their only one. Not only that, it's a family-owned business - Arlene and her husband Steffon are the ones who started it all. I met them together at our first meeting and you could tell that not only did they pour their heart and soul into their business, but that they were each others rocks - keeping each other steady. They had also been through the wedding planning process themselves not too long before us - so could totally relate to all the stresses and choices that had to be made.
Arlene also runs an event planning business, which if I had extra money I would have hired her for as well. But, this was just an added bonus in a DJ because her organizational skills are off the charts. A good dj is able to emcee an event and play music that gets people dancing. A great dj is able to do all this and help the wedding go as smooth as silk - which she did! Prior to the wedding, she coordinated with all of my vendors to make sure that everyone had a timeline of the wedding - which is huge for staying on track, especially when you have surprises for the guests built in. She even had a couple surprises for me up her sleeve, which just made the whole experience that much more fun and memorable.
I could go on and on about Arlene and Sound Fusion but I'm sure I've babbled enough. Just don't be surprised if you blurt something out like "Just DJ like you're my sister!" or when you're welcomed into the Sound Fusion Family.
