Hey Tom!

Sorry it took us a while to write this email to you.. we just got back from Hawaii... and wanted to say a huge thank you to you for the AWESOME job you did at our wedding. Everything worked out really really really well. You did great with the song selections, and with introducing everyone, and keeping the volume manageable during certain songs. We are extremely pleased and will recommend you and the company to any of our family/friends who have events in your area. Thank you again.

We met with two DJ's before Tom that claimed they were the be all and end all of DJ companies ... and we hated them! They were both overconfident and pushy. We were looking for a down to earth DJ who aspired to do whatever WE imagined, and Tom fit that to a T. He was extremely flexible. Songs we liked and wanted to hear, that Tom didn't already have, he downloaded just for our special day. He was also very accommodating with out last minute requests. Magical Sight and Sound first caught out attention because of their affordability, but I'd hire them again in a heart beat because of Tom's commitment to making us happy.

Everything was exactly as we wanted it to be. I forgot to pick a salsa song for my husband's side of the family, and Ted was right on the ball with the request from my brother in law. I had several special requests before the wedding and all of them were met! Everything was handled with the utmost care and concern for our happiness with the experience. We couldn't have been happier with our entire Wedding day! Thank you!

Reeder :: Pierce Testimonial

2009-08-03T20:48:00.000-07:00

Tom and Rebecca,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so wonderful throughout our wedding planning process. It was awesome to be able to find a DJ and musicians all in one place, and you were both a joy to work with. Tom, you did an incredible job on Friday night. It was such a chaotic night and Trevor and I didn't know whether we were coming or going half the time, so we were extremely grateful that you kept us on track with everything. And the music selection was great -- I was thrilled to see so many of our guests dancing all night! Thanks again for everything. Trevor and I leave our house at 3:30 tomorrow morning to fly to Punta Cana for our honeymoon, and we can't wait!

Tom was such a wonderful DJ for our wedding. He looked and acted professional since our first meeting with him until the end of our event! He was able to fulfill all of our special requests including finding backup vocals for a song that I sang to my husband at the reception. It was great working with him on the details leading up to the wedding and he was so friendly and easy to work with. Thank you for making our wedding a day that we will always remember!!

Magical Sight & Sound did a wonderful job for our daughter's wedding. Roger was our DJ, and he was very professional, keeping the festivities going on schedule. He honored our requests and helped with extra music (Stephanie Grace) that we had. We were 100% satisfied. The quartet was excellent, too. Great job!

Prices were reasonable, DJ and musicians were prompt, professional, and very friendly. Very flexible and easy to work with.
