SoundFire DJ 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,495
  • Serves Ellison Bay, WI

When it has to be "once-in-a-lifetime". SoundFire DJ was established with a single goal in mind: to bring the next-level DJ experience to the Northeast Wisconsin market. A market that has otherwise only experienced DJs that emulated the radio, or what a regular person could do with an iPod. Now, more than ever, having a big music library isn't what matters about a DJ. It's about having a creative professional that knows how to lead a party, and bring it to a successful outcome with amazing results and a touch of class!

Soundfire DJ did an exceptional job with our wedding on July 11, 2020 in Door County. The detail and hard work that was put into our ceremony and reception was really what put SFDJ above any other wedding DJ I have experienced. Shawn was excellent with talking to our guests and staying open to schedule changes throughout the night. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire wedding and was super fun and brought a great energy! Tyler’s music was amazing. I loved that he fused a bunch of songs that we requested together to make it more fun. He read the room and would play slow songs or fast songs at perfect times. Requests were always granted and they had an awesome selection of songs available. I loved that we were able to make playlists beforehand with their easy-to-use website. I also appreciated that we would get monthly emails with general wedding reminders of what is typically done that month during wedding planning. That was super helpful for myself who did not hire a wedding planner and had zero experience with planning events. SFDJ truly helped make our special day absolutely perfect, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since our wedding in 2020, we have been to several weddings of our friends and family that used SFDJ simply because of the experience they had at our wedding! I look forward to going to other events in the future with you guys!

Huge shout out to Boogie Time Entertainment and Matthew Brulla for making our special day absolutely perfect! From the moment we contacted him to the day of the event, Matt was always just a text away and always answered immediately. Matt is also an extremely talented musician in his own way and always puts his own little spin on every event. We loved that he could make every little thing feel even more special. From the speeches, calling out my maid of honor when she told him that she was so nervous that she was gonna herself, and letting me playing music with my Pringle covered fingers . I could not recommend a better DJ, it’s a relationship that we will cherish forever. Thank you again so much ! .

Music is a passion of mine and I take great pride in providing a quality music experience for each customer and event.

They are an amazing couple to work with. They had our dance floor full the whole night. They did everything we asked and more. They are easy to work with and respond back pretty quick. They both are super nice and fun and easy to get along with. We loved working with them for our wedding. We made last minute changes to some stuff and they understood completely and we’re there to help.

Let us create a distinguished, memorable experience for you...on the "biggest stage" of all... your wedding day! Most importantly, let's make your event Uniquely Original™!

Sound Dimensions was worth every penny! When we started looking for a DJ service for our wedding, most were not personal and just sent us a quote without getting any detail except the date and location. Joe at Sound Dimensions asked to talk first to make sure they were quoting us what we needed. After that first phone call my mind was made up. Joe spent time getting to know us, our style and what we wanted. The in-depth meeting prior to the wedding to go over details really highlighted how detail oriented the team is and how much they cared about us! We had ceremony music as well as dinner music and our reception. The ceremony site was a small location and the sound was incredible and they set it up as to not take up any of the limited seating room. Through our night Joe and Kory made sure everything ran smoothly. They kept it fun and moving and completely tailored to our taste. I so much appreciated that Kory checked in with me through the night to make sure things were going well. I can't stress enough how important having an experienced, talented DJ that truly cares makes such a big difference! This was an easy choice to make and I would recommend them to anyone!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!

Funktastic was a top notch band for our wedding! We were recommended them by our venue and they nailed it! Their music catalogue more than coved what we wanted for our big day. They offer to learn up to 7 songs for the wedding which we loved for our first dance and father daughter dance. To make thing even better, they allow my wife to karaoke her favorite song which really brought the house down! Would 100% recommend for a wedding that's looking for a lively dance floor!

10 out of 10 recommend! I want to start off by saying that I am a very type A bride but also a big DIYer and music fanatic. All of that makes me a difficult person to please but this team did it! I spent months planning every detail of my wedding, down to choreographer-like timing on my music and I won’t lie, when I tried to plan details with them months before and was told they prefer to discuss details the week of the wedding (so that details are ACTUALLY finalized), I was a bit stressed. However, all of my stress, worry, and fears melted away after an early on problem solving call with Ben, a very detail-oriented call with Luke the week of the wedding, and of course, our wonderful DJ Josiah putting in the time and effort to make sure he and I were on the same page with all of my very specific requests and overly detailed information! I would highly recommend DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment to anyone for all of your DJing needs! This is a pretty long review, but this team is well deserving of all of these words! Like I mentioned above, I am a challenge to please, especially when it comes to a day as important as my wedding day and for me, music being one of the most important components of the day. If you’re like me, book this team and rest assured, because DJ Sound Productions & Entertainment executed my wishes down to the smallest details and Josiah was the literal BEST! Thank you so much for making my music dreams come true!

Welcome to Divergence Entertainment LLC – Spectacular Wedding Celebrations Since 2016! Based in Oxford, MI and proudly serving Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, we always go above and beyond to make sure our couples experience a wonderful, stress-free wedding day with all expectations exceeded! We have been the architect of unforgettable weddings since 2016! We provide your song choices and happily accommodate every specific wedding detail. We're not just DJs; we're dream-weavers, turning your envisioned wedding into a reality.

Where do I even begin with Quinn? He went SO above and beyond just "making a playlist". Are a couple planning for a wedding, thinking - like we were - that we could just make a playlist and rent a speaker system and it would do the same thing as a DJ? You're wrong. Quinn did SO much more. He did a phone consultation with us a week before the wedding and made recommendations for things we didn't even think of. A song to play in the background while cutting cake? He had three off the top of his head. He was diligent of the timeline but flexible. He brought a sense of calm to the entire day by getting to the venue early, double checking the sound system, making sure that he was on the same page as the officiant, and keeping the wedding party on track. After the whole wedding party walked down the aisle, Quinn came and checked on me and my dad and - since we didn't have a planner/coordinator - he even did me the favor of fluffing my train before walking down the aisle. Quinn perfectly timed our grand entrance / first dance song. He read the room during the entire evening and - while we gave him a playlist of songs to help him understand the vibe we were going for - he played stuff outside the playlist when the reception called for it. He made announcements in a charming and welcoming way about the bar closing during dinner, toasts as they were coming up, and the private last dance. He even went around to each table to send them up for the buffet instead of announcing it over the mic. Quinn was the perfect DJ for us, but he was also so much more - he was an integral part of our day that I am so grateful to have found. Cannot recommend him enough.

Hi, my name is Mitch! I grew up surrounded by music. I started playing saxophone in 5th grade and pretty much from then on music has encompassed my life. After graduating from college with a music degree and working in customer service for over 3 years, the thought of combining my passion for music and love of serving people always sounded too good to be true! My number one goal is to help you craft an unforgettable wedding, one note at a time! How do I do that? by getting to know you and catering to your likes and dislikes! Also with my secret weapon! (my saxophone)

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot express enough praise and gratitude for Mitch! We had the privilege of working with him for our wedding on 7/6/24. From preplanning meetings to the wedding day, Mitch was extremely on top of everything to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He also communicated with our other vendors on the day of the wedding to ensure everyone was on the same page! When we had our live acoustic guitarist back out somewhat suddenly, we reached out to Mitch for references. To our surprise, he offered us an even better idea to have him play sax and a friend play guitar at the ceremony. All of our guests absolutely loved it and it brought a really special feel to the ceremony. On top of that, the energy he brings to MCing got our guests super excited and involved! Part of our package included having Mitch play Sax at the reception… JUST DO IT! It was so fun having him jump on the dance floor and interact with our guests! Mitch made our wedding a day to remember for all, and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you DJ Mitch!

Rich and Avalon The Band played at our daughter's wedding. They were awesome! Rich's communications skills were great, prompt and informative. He lead us through what to expect and gave us insight as this was our first wedding we hosted. They were able to handle sound for the wedding ceremony and it was set up without having to remind or ask, which was appreciated. Rich helped us find a string duo to play during the wedding ceremony too. Rich guided us through the beginning of the reception and helped facilitate the order of speeches and again provided sound for that. The band is great, fun and people danced all night. Rich is kind, honest and works very hard to make sure we had what we wanted. What more can you ask for!
