“We chose Adam through a connection early in our wedding planning journey, and he quickly became one of our favorite vendors to work with. From the very beginning, he was open, curious, and genuinely excited to help us create a wedding that reflected both Ahmed’s Iraqi roots and my own. He took the time to learn about Iraqi music and traditions, and truly embraced our vision of blending cultures on the dance floor. What made the experience even better were the multiple planning meetings leading up to the big day. Adam was always organized, responsive, and fun to talk to—his personality brought so much joy to the process. We felt heard, understood, and supported every step of the way. While we were sad he couldn’t be there on the actual day, Alex did a great job stepping in. Thanks to Adam’s preparation and care, the energy, transitions, and vibe of the night felt seamless and unforgettable. We’re so grateful for Adam and everything he brought to celebrating our wedding!”

“Anthony was a pleasure to work with. We loved his easy going personality. My husband and I hit it off with him immediately. We loved how he let us customize our entire wedding playlist which was so impressive. His portal for uploading music was so easy to use. Anthony was very thorough leading up to the wedding. He was great at communicating. Anthony was able to make a lot of special requests like having my husband sing at the wedding. A few minor things happened at the wedding like the mic did not work, but Anthony was able to work through it. My venue also didn’t let him dim the lights down initially, but he eventually figured out a way to do it, so the dance floor can be lit. All in all, we are so happy we booked All in Entertainment for our wedding.”

“This is what dreams are made of. When I was a little girl, I had big dreams about what my future wedding would look like. As I got older and realized how much everything costs, I started to think my dream wedding would stay just that—a dream. But one thing never changed: I always wanted to get married in a little white chapel and walk down the aisle to the sound of a violin. Petya made that dream come true. From the moment I first reached out to her, we instantly connected. I knew, without a doubt, that no matter where we ended up getting married, she had to be a part of it. I’d listen to her music on YouTube and just melt. She’s cheerful yet calming, incredibly talented, and truly helped put me at ease throughout the process. The morning of my wedding was stressful, but Petya texted me with encouragement, lifting my spirits and getting me excited for the day ahead. Guests even told me how beautiful the atmosphere was as they waited for my arrival—all because of the ambiance she created through her music. As the church doors opened and I saw my soon-to-be husband standing at the altar, the sound of Petya’s violin made it feel like I was walking into a dream. I couldn’t see anyone else—it was as if her melody was wrapping around just the two of us. It might sound dramatic, but we had a very Christian ceremony, and we asked her to play worship music. It made the moment feel sacred, like God’s presence was truly among us. At the end of the ceremony, I ran up to her and couldn’t help but gush about how incredible she was. She gave us our fairytale moment.”

“Cam and the LEDG Entertainment team absolutely crushed it!!! The dance floor was packed the entire time and we had numerous guests during and after the night tell us how it was by far the best DJ/music they’ve ever experienced at a wedding.  From the start of the process Cam did an incredible job of understanding our vision and the type of music/vibe we wanted to have. Cam was extremely organized and personable, and the 3 pre-wedding calls we had with him were super beneficial to building trust and ensuring the night went as smoothly as possible. These meetings were very productive, and by the time we were through with them, we knew we had made the right choice. By the end, Cam felt more like a genuine friend than somebody we were hiring. He gave honest feedback, made several recommendations, and worked with us through numerous changes. When it came to execution, Cam and his team were very professional and delivered beyond expectations. They played all the songs we wanted to hear and even included their own creative touch with some amazing remixes and twists. They kept the crowd at high energy all night long and made sure every guest was having a great time. I think we spent 95% of our night on the dance floor having an absolute blast, and thats just the way we wanted to remember the night. We seriously cannot thank Cam and LEDG Entertainment enough for an unforgettable experience. For any couple looking to have the best night ever, we give LEDG Entertainment our highest Recommendation!”

My partner and I are huge fans of EDM remixes and pop-punk, so we were a little nervous about finding someone who could keep our vibe but still make sure our families didn’t feel left out.

“Kenny is not just a DJ but an incredible performer and the best entertainment you could have. Plus he is very affordable for all you get. He plays almost everything on the violin from Disney songs to Devil went Down to Georgia to Taylor Swift to Bon Jovi. He not only strolls around dinner to play requests but played my ceremony songs and plays along during the reception, along with his daughter who sang and played along as well. He even brought out blow up guitars for a full performance. Just amazing. I have not stopped hearing compliments about Kenny and all of them are well deserved. If you take anything from this, hire Kenny I Entertainment”

“I would highly recommend sounds to go DJ to anyone booking their wedding. Mike was extremely professional and accommodating and asked many questions so he could tailor everything to our needs. Our guest had a great time with the music selection between Mike and his team. We also paid for a photo booth, which was a hit at the wedding. The only issue that we ran into was the website for the music selection because it was very difficult to navigate. However, during our final meeting with Mike, he worked through it in a professional and understanding manner which boosted the value in his services.”

He has a wonderfully varied repertoire of music for all occasions that makes him easily adaptable to most any event.

“Arnie did a wonderful job at our wedding's cocktail hour. He created a welcoming and celebratory soundtrack for the occasion. One friend said she moved closer to the piano just so she could take in his playing! Arnie was easy to communicate in the lead up to the ceremony and understood my song requests. Hope to work with him again!”
