Nathan helped make our wedding day so special! Throughout the planning process, he took the time to really go through the details of our day and get to know us. He got excited about our ideas and gave great suggestions on how to bring them to life. On the wedding day, Nathan helped make sure everything ran smoothly, coordinating with other vendors and our friends and family to make sure everyone had what they needed from before the ceremony through the end of the night. He knew we wanted to do our first dance and toasts outside during cocktail hour, right before sunset, so he made sure to check in with us to get the timing just right, and it was magical! During dinner, we had curated a playlist of first dance songs from our guests, and he helped create so many special moments by encouraging folks to get up and dance when they heard their song, and stayed flexible when we were ready to get dancing started. The reception was an absolute blast and my dream dance floor. The end of the night was perfection with several "last songs" and getting to soak it all in in a circle of our favorite people. Nathan is an expert and the whole night flowed so perfectly with so many core memories created. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Karl was such a pleasure to work with. Finding a great band for our wedding was our top priority. We were a little apprehensive about pulling the trigger on any band without seeing them live, since videos don’t necessarily do the band justice. We made the decision to go with PopStyle almost entirely because Karl was so responsive and a great communicator. 6 months later, when it came time to iron out details, Karl was consistently professional and put us at ease. Knowing we could trust him to handle everything on his end was invaluable. Obviously we were a bit preoccupied on the day of our wedding, but from what we could tell everything was so smooth. They took care of setting up for our ceremony with a variety of mics and speakers for our officiant, readers, and processional/recessional music. They seamlessly transitioned to the cocktail hour (different location), then introduced our first dance plus family dances, and kicked off the dancing with so much enthusiasm. We absolutely adored their performance. They got everyone out on the dance floor! There were also times when a few of them came out onto the dance floor to really engage the crowd. It was awesome and unexpected. Each band member that I personally interacted with could not have been nicer. They all seemed so genuinely happy to be there celebrating with us. It didn’t feel like a client/vendor dynamic. Additionally, every other vendor we spoke with told us what a pleasure it was to work with PopStyle. Overall, we would 100% book PopStyle again for any event. If you are considering them at all, I would look no further. They exceeded our expectations in every category

Sound Express Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Avoca, NY

Sound Express Entertainment is a premier wedding DJ and entertainment company based in the Rochester, NY area. With years of experience bringing couples' wedding visions to life, we specialize in creating high energy, personalized celebrations that guests talk about long after the night is over. From the first dance to the last song, we're committed to keeping the energy exactly where you want it, every step of the way.

Working with DJ Alex from Sound Express Entertainment at Belhurst Castle in Geneva, NY was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day. If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to keep a dance floor packed, read the crowd, and make the reception feel effortless, look no further. From our very first conversation, Alex was incredibly communicative and easy to work with. He struck the perfect balance between being organized and letting us enjoy the planning process. He never overwhelmed us with endless emails or decisions, and instead guided us through the important details at exactly the right times. Before the ceremony, we reviewed all of the key moments and logistics. Then, during cocktail hour, Alex met with us again to go over the reception timeline, make a few last-minute adjustments, and ensure everything reflected what we wanted. We changed the order of a few events, and he adapted without missing a beat. He always offered thoughtful recommendations without ever being pushy. One of our biggest priorities was sneaking away for sunset photos on the dock overlooking Seneca Lake. Alex worked seamlessly with our photographers to coordinate the timing. While we were away, he kept our guests entertained, and when we returned, he welcomed us back to a packed dance floor and roaring cheers from our family and friends. It was one of our favorite moments of the entire day. And speaking of the dance floor... it never stopped. Alex and his assistant, Vinny, absolutely crushed it. Their music mixing was phenomenal, the transitions were seamless, and they knew exactly how to keep the energy high. The dance floor was hopping from the first dance set until the final song. One of the funniest moments of the night was an unexpected worm dance-off, which perfectly summed up the fun atmosphere they created. We received countless compliments from our guests, including one family member who joked that Alex was trying to give someone a heart attack with all the nonstop hits and energy—in the best possible way! Every time you thought people might sit down, another great song came on and everyone was right back on the dance floor. Alex also nailed our multi-song wedding party introductions, building excitement all the way to our grand entrance. His crowd interaction felt natural and engaging without ever being over-the-top. Our only request was simple: keep the dance floor lively. Alex and Vinny didn't just meet that expectation—they completely exceeded it. If you're considering Sound Express Entertainment, book them. Alex and Vinny are professional, flexible, incredibly talented, and genuinely invested in making your wedding unforgettable. Months from now, people may not remember what they ate for dinner, but they will absolutely remember the party—and ours was one our guests are still talking about. Thank you both for giving us a reception we'll never forget! Tess and Sam Photo Credit to Dear Grace Photography

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much.

Stefan from DreSteff Events was great with communication - he was open, friendly and responsive throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Stefan did excellent work and we had a great time! He got involved in all the wedding events and engaged really well with everyone. We played a few fun games at our reception and Stefan fit right in, joking around with the guests. Overall, Stefan and DreSteff Events helped make our special day truly memorable.

DJ Mike Melice was fantastic! My husband and I got married in Watkins Glen at the Harbor Hotel and Mike gave us great guidance on setting up the entrance to our reception, helped us make beautiful slideshows for our first dances, and suggested great enhancements such as the nightclub lighting, uplighting, and cold sparks! Mike met with us several times to go over all the details and was very personal- the day of everything went perfectly smooth! I would highly recommend!!

My name is Adam, owner & operator of CNY Sound. I am proud to serve those in Central New York with all of their DJ, MC and event planning needs. A wedding DJ by trade, I also bring my services to any event from parties, corporate events and more.

Our wedding would not have been the same without the incredible work of Adam at CNY Sound. From the moment we first spoke with Adam, we were impressed by his organized, confident and professional communication style. He is a true professional, outgoing and engaging, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. Adam has an incredible ability to read the room and play music that perfectly matched the crowd, keeping our guests entertained and energized. We trusted Adam's expertise and experience, and he did not disappoint - he is by far the best wedding DJ we've ever come across, and we are so grateful to have had him as our DJ. We continue to get compliments from our guests about the incredible music and energy he brought to our special day. A huge thank you to Adam for a truly outstanding job!!!

Style: check Vibes: check Loves to keep the party going all night long: check Lucas is seriously the best. He made our wedding - it wouldn't have been possible without him. Early on in planning, we thought we could do the whole event with a handful of playlists and a laptop. We are so glad we didn't. Lucas was dialed into the needs of our guests, the timings of the evening, and brought everything together seamlessly. If your debating getting a dj, don't. Get a Lucas, you'll thank yourself later.
