Jimmy was such an amazing fit for our August wedding at the Southernmost Beach Resort. From beginning to end, he was fantastic. Super easy to communicate with. Booking and song choices (via his online form) were extremely simple and user friendly. At our actual event, he was phenomenal. He has a great announcing voice, everything was on time and his music choices kept our entire guest list on the dance floor all night! We had so many guests tell us how fabulous he was. Highly recommend.
Best DJ ever! He was always on it, attentive and makes sure everything is going right. As a bride, you don’t have to worry with DJ Jimmy. He also has an awesome questionnaire and makes your event playlist perfect. It was better than my husband and I imagined. I don’t dance, but his DJ skills got even me on the dance floor. He reads the crowd and plays what gets the most reactions. He takes requests and listens. He is observant, fun, amazing and made our wedding day so easy. He did our ceremony and dinner at Hyatt, and re-set up on the fury catamaran, he’s a pro and the best in the game. Seriously felt like a family member at our wedding. Book him if you can!
Joanna was fabulous! She showed up early to set up and was ready to go right on time. She made me feel comfortable throughout the event. We eloped so it was only my husband and myself at the wedding. Joanna was a smiling face who calmed my nerves. She did a great job and I love the video! Always get a video! It does so much more than pictures for your wedding :)
If you are planning to have your wedding in Key West you must contact SoundWave! Jim and Joanna were truly amazing! They have the best personalities and will make you feel so special on your wedding day. I was lucky enough to book them during COVID-19 and was so thankful that they were available. I contacted them last minute! Jim knew exactly what songs I loved and I barely wrote him a list! He kept the party going and all 15 of us dancing. That is a challenge right there! Joanna produced the most amazing video for us. It is beautiful to say the least! I cant wait to watch our video every single year. Our special day was even more special because of Jim and Joanna. We cant thank them enough. Nick & Erin (11.20.2020)
Joanne is awesome! She is very personable, caring and creative! I wanted a beach wedding and the morning of she looked up the weather and made sure we were not going to get rained out, she cares that much!!!! She is also super funny... she help calm down my nerves :) I am so happy with my video I would have not asked for anything more. THANK YOU Joanne for capturing our day so perfectly! :)
SoundWave was fantastic for our wedding in Key West. Joanna and her team did a great job capturing our wedding’s important points. Also she really showed people enjoying themselves. She incorporated different personal touches we included in the wedding into our video. We are so happy with the highlight video and the complete video.Jim was easy to work with while preparing playlists for the wedding. Jim had plans but welcomed any input we had. This allowed us to plan our cocktail hour playlist and include our favorite songs to be played during the reception. Jim made everything seamless transitioning from all different aspects of the wedding ...from ceremony to the cocktail hour to dinner to cake cutting to the reception.Both Joanna and Jim were so nice and happy to help wherever they could. Having them at my wedding made me worry less. I felt like I was in good hands.Thank you, Joanna and Jim and team, for the great job on our wedding!!!
We used Soundwave for our June wedding and it was so perfect! We were able to book them almost last minute and they were wonderful! They made us feel like we were movie stars and the final product shows! It was so professional! We could not have been more happy with how it turned out! They did an amazing job capturing us and our love and our special day! They were so much fun to work with and made our day even more special! Also.. LGBT FRIENDLY.
Where do I even start?! Planning a wedding from far away is stressful enough, but planning a rescheduled wedding during a pandemic from far away might be the most stressful thing Ive yet to experience. If it werent for Jim and Joanna at SoundWave, the process wouldve been a nightmare. From rescheduling to rescheduling to rescheduling, they were SO easy and kind and nice to work with. They had the BEST attitudes and outlook on the situation and it was difficult to even feel upset about anything regarding the event. They are the definition of positivity! After the rescheduling was done, Joanna let us know about their video services, as we had only booked DJ services. We were very hesitant and had not wanted a wedding video, but after thinking on it, we hired Joanna for video. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION OF THE WEDDING (aside from having Jim DJ). Joanna was SO FUN and really made our day so exciting and delivered a preview and Instagram highlight in like seven days! I wouldve been thrilled if this was honestly the whole video - ITS THAT GOOD. Its entertaining and fun and everything that typical wedding videos usually arent.. its PERFECT! I cannot think of a single thing that wouldve made it better and Im just so excited to see what the full video turns out like. I seriously cant express enough how happy I am to have listened to Joanna and booked the video services.We had Jim DJ the wedding and when I say that there was never a time that the dance floor was empty... there was literally never a time that the dance floor was empty. EVEN DURING THE MEAL. He could not have hit our vibe better! The dancing didnt stop once and everyone had a blast! He was fantastic as the Emcee as well, and kept me informed the whole night about keeping us on schedule. I seriously cannot thank both Jim and Joanna enough for the party of the year! You will not regret booking Soundwave - and get the video. You wont regret it!
Joanna did our wedding video at the Reach 2 years ago. We still feel like it was some of the best money we spent. Joanna was so easy to work with, & produced a great product. Very happy with their services!
One of the single best decisions of our wedding planning journey (an extra long one due to a COVID postponement) was picking Joanna and Jim as our videographer + DJ duo for our wedding in Key West. VIDEO: I picked Joanna as our videographer because I appreciated her package offering of multiple hours of footage between the ceremony, reception, full speeches, etc. in addition to the shorter highlight video (approx 6 minutes) and social media video (approx 1 minute). I found that many other videographers only offered the latter two options and we were thrilled to receive the full offering from SoundWave. Now onto the quality of video - we received our highlight video yesterday and have already watched it 10x - we are obsessed! She picked the most beautiful moments from our wedding day and those she knew would be most special to us. The quality of the video (footage, angles, lighting, shots at all the unique wedding day moments) truly shows the work of a true artist. Joanna blew away our expectations of how gorgeous and perfect a wedding video could be and it was worth every cent. I should also add she is an absolute JOY to work with - one of the nicest, funniest, fun people who knew exactly how to direct us around on our day while also feeling like part of our family. We especially loved how her sister Bernadette was our wedding coordinator because it truly felt like our families merged on the day of! DJ: When I learned that Joanna + Jim were a husband + wife duo, we LOVED the idea of having them both working our event. Jim put together the most epic playlist perfectly catered to our tastes - I would not change one song that was played! His music request form is perfectly crafted to help weed out exactly what we wanted to hear and he delivered exactly that. Our wedding was cut from 150 to 20 people due to COVID but we had every person up and dancing the whole night - from a tropical house cocktail hour into Sinatra for dinner, a Motown + Abba dance floor, an impromptu Hamilton musical bouquet toss into an Avicii/Daft Punk rave hour....we had ages 5-75 on the dance floor until Casa shut us down. I also want to share a meaningful moment that meant the world to my husband and I and shows the true character of these two - on our original wedding date (May 2020) Joanna + Jim facetimed us from our venue to say a hi from Key West - above and beyond to make us feel like part of their family and made our long-awaited postponed wedding day all the more special with them being part of our day. Thank you Jim and Joanna - we love you!
I went with SoundWave because it was the highly recommended by our coordinator, Natalie, from Havana Cabana, where our venue took place. Everything came out perfect! Especially having a Wedding where you dont reside so it was a little stressful but I am glad we picked SoundWave. Jimmy is such a wonderful person, always responded to my e-mails quickly with any questions or concerns I had. From Ceremony to Reception, he played every song I requested and it kept us dancing all night long. Highly recommended! =)
PERFECTION - I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joanna and her work. She is a total professional and was so responsive and easy to work with from beginning to end. She captured every moment and detail of our special day producing our wedding video that is beyond our wildest dreams. To the quality of the footage and sound, to the way she incorporated the music we selected, to the final edits made we are able to relive our wedding day over and over again. She truly has an art for putting our love story together in our video. We are forever thankful that Joanna was our videographer, you definitely must hire her!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful to work with! Everyone was so quick to respond to any questions... the timeline of our wedding ceremony and reception was so detailed and everyone made us feel at ease leading up to our wedding day. We had DJ Rahm and he was so cool! Very laid back, but knew exactly what to do. It was so much fun to dance and have great music played and not have to worry about anything other than having fun!
DJ: I cannot say enough how amazing Jimmy was! We looked around the room and every seat was empty because all of our guests were on the dance floor. From toddlers to grandparents, I don’t think anyone sat the whole night. Exactly what I was hoping for when we booked him! Best music choices, kept the fun going, and so easy (and patient) to work with!Videography: Joanna was amazing!! She knew all of the best spots around town, which was perfect because my Photographer didn’t know the area. She captured every single thing we wanted her to and was always right there when something was happening, even if we didn’t notice it right away. Easy going, funny, total breath of fresh air during a whirlwind of a day. I can’t wait to get our video back so we can relive our day (and catch things we totally missed)!I could go on and on and I’m sad Google only lets you give 5 stars, because Jimmy and Joanna really deserve 10!
Hands down the absolute best service and professionalism there is. Dont settle for less!!
Jimmy and Joanna are hands down the best in the business. Joannas knowledge and down to earth personality made me feel 100% comfortable. Her gudiance throughout the day was impeccable! She truly captured the best day of our lives in such a beautiful way. I am absolutely in love and overly joyed with how wonderful our wedding video turned out. Jim is equally as talented! He also made not only the bride and groom but all of our guests comfortable by leading us into the best night of our lives. His experience truly shines when family members that usually sit at weddings were on the dance for the entire night. My guests said they knew it would be a fun time but they didnt think it would be as much fun as it was. We have to sincerely thank Joanna and Jimmy for making our wedding so memorable! Our guests want to come back and do it again!!!
AMAZING!!! Jimmy and Joanna are truly one of a kind! They were SO easy to work with and made everything SO simple. We booked Jimmy for our DJ services and booked Joanna for videography. They are both so down to earth and truly portray the Key West vibe. They both know the island so well and Joanna was awesome at navigating when capturing our moments during sunset! Jimmy played all of ours and our guests favorite songs and kept everyone dancing throughout the night. These two helped make our wedding so special, I wouldnt of wanted to have anyone else. Our guests still talk about how beautiful our wedding video is and how Joanna captured the BEST moments of the night. You definitely want these two helping on the most important day of your life. Love love love them!
Jim was the MC/DJ for our ceremony and reception earlier this month. He is AWESOME!!!!!! We did a destination wedding so a lot of communication was through email, he was very personable and responsive. We had zero issues discussing what type of vibe we wanted and he was more than happy to make it just as we asked. And he literally was spot on! Everyone had such a great time! I highly highly recommend working with Jim Cooper and Soundwave.
Ive never hired a DJ before until my wedding, but I have been to several events with DJs and I can sincerely say no one is better than Jimmy! He was insanely good. He played the songs we requested and he quickly caught onto the type of music our guests got into most. He took requests, which I know the kids had fun with, but made my day completely unforgettable! When it started to rain, he did not stop the party! He threw a tarp up over all of his equipment and himself and he kept it going! We all danced in the rain, while listening to our favorite type of music and celebrating this beautiful day. Along with the caterer and photographer, he made our day extra special. He was also easy to communicate with leading up the event. Never once did he make me feel like I was being annoying, and I reached out quite a bit to him over the months. Highly Highly Highly recommend!!!!!
Jim was awesome! He had every song we wanted for our ceremony music! He kept the party going the whole time at our reception. We just told him what music genres we liked and he did the rest! Our whole group was out dancing and singing along all night! You definitely want him to DJ your next event!
Jim was so fun and interacted with my crowd. Played all the artists that we told him to! We were super impressed, and highly recommend!!
Absolutely wonderful! Jim was great setting everything up for our wedding on 2/26. He was so professional, personable, and understanding. Shawna our dj was really a lot of fun. She played all of our requested music then filled in and read the crowd perfectly! Very satisfied! Highly recommend! Thank you Sound Wave for helping make our special day even more special!
Not only did I have my dream wedding in Key West, I got to relive it in the most magical form. I am so thankful my mother in law surprised me with a wedding video by Joana. She was sooo sweet to be around and worked perfectly with my photographer. The quality is perfect and I’m obsessed with all of the details she captured that I would have forgotten over time. We also had an absolute blast at our welcome party with the coolest DJ! He even threw in some John Mayer for me! Thank you, Joanna and Jimmy!
Words cant express how thrilled my husband and I are with SoundWave. We worked with Joanna and she provided us with the greatest moments from our special day! Joanna was excellent to work with and during our wedding day, she was very professional and courteous. We are grateful to have the video and can enjoy the moments in the years to come!! Thanks again SoundWave!!
I had such a great experience with SoundWave! You should definitely get a videographer for your wedding. You will not regret it! It is one of the top 3 things I tell all newly engaged couples to get when planning their wedding.
Oh my goodness, there are no words I could even find to express how awesome Soundwave was for our wedding! Jimmy was by far the most awesome guy ever! The music was exactly what we wanted, Jimmy was such a pleasure to work with, great customer service. Although we did not use the video services his wife was so friendly and sweet that I know it would have been a pleasure to work with her as well. I definitely recommend these two awesome folks for any event! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
SoundWave is awesome! Jim Cooper DJed our wedding and he was fantastic. It is obvious he has been doing this a long time and that he enjoys his job. Jim is super professional, fun, and an all-around nice guy. I dont think our wedding guests ever stopped dancing! We highly recommend SoundWave. Thanks for everything Jim!
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! DJ and wedding video were top notch. Our destination wedding really was a dream come true. You definitely want to invest in the wedding video. It truly is the only way to re-live the happiest days of your lives!!! Thank you JoAnna and Jimmy!!!
Jimmy was amazing. He was so kind and made sure everything was perfect and stress free!! He even sought me out an hour before the reception ended to make sure the last dozen songs were all ones my husband or I wanted to hear. Everyone thought he was so sweet and great and talented and he was! Thanks for making my reception a blast!!!!
We booked Joanna for our wedding and we couldnt have made a better choice for our videographer! From the moment that I spoke with her on the phone during the initial consultation, I told my then fiance that she was perfect. Just based on the phone conversation, I could tell she was going to do such a great job. She was so kind to all of our guests, including everyone, and made sure to catch all of the right moments while keeping everything on track. We havent received our full video yet but we (and our family/friends) cant wait to see it after only receiving the highlight videos today! I usually feel so uncomfortable taking pictures or videos but she made the entire process fun and enjoyable. We also had a second videographer through Soundwave who arrived at the ceremony, she was amazing as well. If youre having any doubts about hiring Joanna, dont! We purposely cancelled with the wedding planning company we were originally going with because they wanted us to hire their own videographer but we wanted to go with Soundwave and it was the best decision. We cannot recommend Joanna, or Soundwave, enough!
Like most brides I was trying to stick to a budget and save where ever I could, so originally I was not going to have videography at my wedding. You think to yourself how often am I going to watch this video and I’ll have the pictures for the memories. But after speaking with Joanna, who absolutely lives up to her nickname Joyful Joanna, I decided to do a few hours of video and I am soo grateful that I did! From start to finish she is fun and bubbly, cracking jokes and makes you feel comfortable, it was very natural. I recently received my minute teaser and highlight video and absolutely love them! As the bride you’re trying to take it all in and be present in the moment and with the video you get to see all the emotions of your guests, spouse, and yourself that gives you all the feels to help relive the day. I can not say thank you enough to Joanna and strongly advise NOT to skip a videographer and highly recommend SoundWave. You will love it!
Jim from SoundWave was so great! I would definitely recommend him for any wedding! He listened to exactly to what we asked, played the music we had listed, and added even more. He made the night extremely entertaining and fun, as evidenced by everyone on the dance floor all night. I cant say enough good things :)
Jim and Joanna Cooper are absolutely amazing! My husband and I used them for our DJ and video services for our Key West wedding at the Pier House.Jim was incredibly thorough, being sure to keep in mind everything that was so musically important to us. Im so Type A, and had a list of music that I wanted for dinner and dancing. Jim was wonderful and understanding and made sure to play everything that was an absolute must. During the reception, Jim read the crowd well, and played music that suited everyone. The dance floor was always full, and everyone had a blast, most of all our four year old son. Jim played all his favorites.Joanna was so sweet. My husband and I are very private people (part of the reason for a small, intimate wedding in Key West), and at no point during filming did we ever feel like our space was being invaded. Most of the time we werent even aware that Joanna was there filming us, which made our wedding highlight video that much more incredible. When we watched it we were both in tears. It felt real and not staged at all. She was there to capture the happiest day of our lives, and thats exactly what she did. The editing, music selection, and literally every frame made us feel like we were back to that day. I was amazed at how quickly we received our highlight video back as well. It only took about three and a half weeks to receive this.I would highly recommend anyone looking for video and DJ services to contact Soundwave.
Jim and Joanna did a wonderful job for our wedding at Ocean Key. Jim handled the DJ work and kept everyone dancing all night. Joanna was unobtrusive with video and captured all of the best moments. Shortly after we returned from our honeymoon we had a 4 minute video that weve shared with everyone who couldnt make it to Key West. Its almost as good as being there. I highly recommend SoundWave.
Jim created a great ambiance and knew when to hype up my guests. He was very helpful and patience with me during my wedding planning. Definitely recommend to anyone needing an awesome DJ who knows how to select the best songs for the event!
Jimmy was awesome at our Bagatelle wedding reception in Key West! He really read the crowd and our guests kept complementing us on our music! Thanks a lot Jimmy for making our wedding great!
We chose sound wave at the suggestion of our planner, for our wedding reception at Hemingway house. They also provided the music and mics for our ceremony at fort Zachary. They were wonderful! The sound quality was excellent, even at fort zach where it was incredibly windy, and the timing was perfect. At our reception Jim did an amazing job, he was very friendly and fun and kept everyone up and dancing, and also kept the itinerary moving smoothly. He chose great music based on the information we provided, and the sound quality again was excellent. We were a little worried because of new noise constraints at this venue but everything was a perfect volume. Everyone had so much fun at our reception, and I would definitely recommend sound wave to other Key West brides!
We booked the family affair package for our wedding on June 30, 2018 at the Southernmost Beach Resort. Jim was an amazing Dj I have never danced so hard in my life!!!! Joanna was our videographer and she is so sweet and kept us laughing. She showed me some of the video she was taking and it was amazing I can’t wait to see the rest. John our photographer kept everything flowing and took amazing photos. We got a few the next day!!! They are beautiful. I could not have even imagined a better team to capture my wedding. We are still glowing.
Thank you to SoundWave Key West and DJ Jimmy!SoundWave did the lighting for our reception along with the Emceeing, the Audio and was our DJ for our Wedding in Key West 2 weeks ago at the Hyatt Resort & Spa.DJ Jimmy was on point with all of the details of our day and kept the dance floor filled with just the right mix of tunes. We requested to have a heavy mix of 80s music at our reception and he did awesome in keeping everyone shaking their stuff on the dance floor.Thank you for efforts during our special day and for all of the lead up work to it, SoundWave is very responsive to all needs.Martin & Bill
What an amazing time we had with DJ Sanaris at our wedding! He did a fantastic job with keeping the event flowing and transitioning from one thing to the next. He was very attentive to us (the bride and groom) and to our guests and their requests. His mix of music was great for getting the party started!Jim Cooper at Soumdwave was also amazing to work with. He was very detail oriented and responsive when planning and made sure our event was just as we imagined.I would 100% recommend using these guys for your DJ needs, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again!-The Saunders
Sound wave was the best choice for our wedding in September 2015. Both Joanna and Jim helped keep me stress free and made our small group have a blast! I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking to book DJ or Videography services in the Florida Keys area. Not only are they wonderful to work with, their personalities really meshed well with ours. Up to date equipment and music and other rentals for your destination wedding! They were so much fun! Beyond 5 stars!
DJ Jimmy Djd my wedding at the Southernmost House in Key West. He has a wide knowledge of music, and really knows how to get the party started! All the equipment was new and sounded great. We highly recommend Sound Wave for your wedding.
We had our wedding in May 2018 and we can honestly say that from the second we spoke to Jim (DJ) and his wife Joanna (videography) we knew they had to be part of our day! Not only did Jim recommend absolute amazing song ideas for the ceremony, but he let us play our humorous, costume changing dance songs throughout the night! Every guest mentioned how fun he made it for them, too! We have all experienced some weddings that dont allow you to have the party you want, but WOW did Jim let us have our party! He danced along with a smile on his face while he kept everything organized and on time with our planned event. Joanna, Jims wife, our videographer, was just as fun as Jim. She let us have our laughs, as she recorded our ridiculous dance moves and heartfelt memories, while wearing my husbands Miller Lite cowboy hat! We knew right there she was always meant to be a part of our day. Jim and Joanna are such a sweet, fun, talented duo. If we could party every weekend with this group like that, we totally would. They were professional every step of the way from emailing us miles away from Key West to chatting over the phone about ideas to finally meeting them in person when we arrived. We had an absolute blast and we cannot wait to see them again!
SoundWave Key West provides a great service with a friendly and knowledgeable team of DJs that never disappoint! Being in the wedding and events industry you must be quick on your feet and up for anything. In addition to keeping the party going, they are attentive to their guests requests and make every event a great dance party!
What a great night!! We found Jim Cooper / Soundwave at the top of our venues preferred vendor list. After much research, I finally contacted Soundwave and hired Jim for our wedding reception. From our initial correspondence to the end of our celebration, Jim was absolutely amazing!! He made the whole process easy, was super fun & friendly, and kept everyone dancing all night. All in all, an absolutely wonderful experience!
Jim and Joanna were fabulous to work with, along with the Family Affair crew. Joanna videoed for 4 hours and Jim was our awesome DJ back in January 2018. I gave Jim an extensive music list, to which he was able to play to the crowds interest. When my first dance with my groom was going on too long, he told me to wink at him and hed fade out the music. Worked like a charm!! Joanna put together 2 different videos, the first about 5 mins long, the 2nd almost an hour long! Im in LOVE with both. Im very grateful she captured our perfect day so well, and that I get to relive it over and over. Highly recommended!! You wont be disappointed! 💜
These guys are incredible! They did everything possible to make sure that our wedding was everything we wanted it to be, and I do not think you will find a better DJ/Music vendor in Key West!!!
DJ Rahm is personable, was dressed very nice and easy to communicate with. He knew how to read our crowd and nailed it with the right song at the right time. Our guests say that was the most they have danced in a long time! The best moment of the night was our introductions in as newly weds, he got everyone so excited as we came in the energy was amazing! A memory I will forever remember!! I would highly recommend DJ Rahm❤️
Shawna from Soundwave did a fabulous job at my daughters wedding April 23rd. We heard from many guests that it was the most fun wedding they had been to. I can attest to the fun that Shawna helped create. Lots of dancing! Jim was also great to work with through the whole planning process. You cant go wrong with Soundwave.
Jim at Soundwave did an amazing job at our wedding in Key West at the Hyatt on 9/12/15! He did a great job with the songs and announcing the wedding party. He also kept everyone on the dance floor all night!! Guests stated it was such a fun wedding!!
Soundwave was awesome! They kept everyone at the wedding on the dance floor all night! They were punctual and readily available throughout the whole process and were even able to accommodate a song change a couple days before the wedding.
This review is for Joanna, our Videographer at our Sept 12 wedding.Joanna came through for us with a very last minute request to capture our ceremony, toasts, and first dance.She went above and beyond, and captured key moments throughout the entire day!She is extremely knowledgeable in wedding protocol, and was very helpful with everything, not just taking video. (She even helped tie the belt on my dress when we were running late!)It was such a pleasure to work with her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly and professional experience.Thank you!!!
Awesome family!! I had did the family affair package definitely worth it!! They went above and beyond our expectation. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!! Made the best night of our life absolutely amazing!
The experience we had with JoAnna and Jimmy were above and beyond our expectations! The attention to detail was amazing and the sheer pleasure of watching JoAnna work her magic was fabulous! My daughter in law had decided that videography wasn’t in her budget so it was a complete surprise to her. Both bride and groom have thanked us over and over again for the gift! I can’t say enough about how wonderful our Key West wedding was and the opportunity to work with such a professional group was the best ever!!
Simply You Weddings highly recommends working with the Soundwave DJ team. They are always one of our top vendor recommendations to our clients. They are extremely professional, kind, organized, easy to work with and a lot of fun. Our clients are always extremely happy with the services Soundwave provides. We have been working with their team for over 12 years and have always been without a doubt over the moon with their services. This company will continue to be highly regarded by the Simply You team.
AMAZING!!! Bernadette and Jimmy and our DJ absolutely amazing!! We could not say enough things about this business!! Our day was the best!! Thank you all so very much!!
By far the best DJ!!! It stared raining during our reception and he kept the guests dancing all night in the rain!!! Had the best night of our lives with memories I will cherish forever!! Thank You Sooooo Much!!!
Joanna Cooper was one of the most professional small business owner operator I have ever met. She did an outstanding job of capturing our 54th wedding anniversary. She paid attention to every detail. We were so excited to see the finished product and she exceeded our expectations. Her editing skills told the story just as if we were telling it ourself. We highly recommend Joanna as a person you can rely upon to capture your most important moments. Thanks again Joanna you are an artist extrodinaire! Rich and Ruth
My Dj Sanaris was amazing! Played the perfect music and really got the party started. Super fun and nice. Wouldnt change a thing.
Perfectly Perfect... We had Sanaris of SoundWave for our wedding aboard the Schooner America last weekend. He was fabulous! We didnt give him much direction about the songs we wanted - we are all in our 50s and he read the audience and knew what made sense. We threw some last minute requests at him and he had everything we wanted available. A guest decided to launch into his own rendition of show tunes and Sanaris quickly accommodated him with his microphone and made some instrumental music available for him. It was a windy day so using his sound equipment for our vows equally made it easier to hear out on the open waters. Everyone loved him. Thanks for making our ceremony more special!
Soundwave was amazing. Joanna and Jim did an amazing job with our video and the Mc/ Music of the night. They incoroporated all of our requests and we had such a blast partying away to the music and party set up. The video caught all of our fun and joy. We could not have had a better experience!
Jim and Joanna are incredible! We had a DJ/video combination and cannot say enough how happy we were with their work. Jim (the DJ) kept everybody dancing and was a great emcee! I had several of my friends tell me they were sore the next day because they didnt come off the dance floor! Joanna (the videographer) was just as good -- we recently got our full wedding video and could not have been happier with it -- cried, laughed and everything in-between. Soundwave is truly a class act all the way around. If youre having a destination wedding in Key West, book them!
Jim from Soundwave did a fantastic job at our Hemingway Home wedding in January 2017. He had excellent follow through during the planning process and answered all of my questions promptly. Even more importantly, he totally kept the party going all evening and our guests had a great time celebrating with us! If you want a kickass DJ at your Keys wedding, be sure to book SoundWave!
As an event venue manager who hosts many parties and weddings in our Key West Blue Room, I would highly recommend Soundwave for your DJ, video and/or photography entertainment needs. Top Jimmy and his staff of DJs are very professional, and play the best music to suit the crowds. Keep up the great work!
What fantastic service and product quality!!Joanna was amazing, even with a bad foot to boot...excuse the pun.She completely put us at ease and her filming was just awesome, the finished article is 110% and everyone who has viewed it, and there have been many many, also agree!You really could not ask for more at a wedding, she helped to make our one day so special, especially as there was only the two of us the photographer and Rebecca who married us!A very Special Day made even better!!A very BIG THANK YOU to Joanna and SoundWave!!David & Zsofia
We had booked SoundWave for our DJ and videographer. Jim was the perfect DJ! He played all of the music we requested and at the perfect times. SO easy to work with. He was energetic and exactly what we were looking for in a DJ. A videographer was the last thing in our budget so we did not want to spend $4,000 on a video. I basically told Joanna that I just wanted a video to be able to look back at the ceremony and reception speeches/dances. I even said that I didnt need to have a fancy edited video just something to watch later....I got WAY more than I asked for. It was worth every penny and the best money we spent. I was speechless when they sent us the sneak peek video and I am so excited to see the full version!! Joanna went above and beyond and I just couldnt thank them enough for making our day so special and now we will forever have these memories to watch on repeat for the rest of our lives! If you are on the fence about booking a videographer...you should definitely book Joanna, you will not be disappointed in the slightest.
Immy and Joanna were awesome! They were hands on from the beginning and catered entirely to our specific preference. My fiance and myself were unsure of what we needed for our day but Jimmy immediately reached out to offer guidance which made things totally stress free. We had a mix of every type of music and he nailed it! When we arrived to our venue, the set up looked perfect and he played whatever our guests wanted! Joanna handled all videography for our day and did so perfectly! She captured moments that I didnt even realize happened throughout the course of the day. Even better, she had a wedding day highlight Vimeo sent to us in less than a week after the wedding! Its so much fun to watch and the visuals are awesome! Theyre such a fun, professional and talented crew and I would most certainly recommend them for your event. If you are unsure of vendors, I would use their Family Affair package which takes care of everything! Thank you Joanna and Jimmy for doing such a great job!
SoundWave is great !After finding their business on every preferred vendor list I felt confident hiring them.On our wedding day we had DJ Rahm. He was a trueprofessional from his dress code, to the music he prepared for our special event, to his witty sense of humor as he MCed our event. DJ Rahm really got the party going and was able to mix well with our guests. Everyone had a great time and danced the night away 🎶 thanks in large part to DJ Rahm!!Therefore, we would highly recommend DJ Rahmand SoundWave to DJ your special event! Theywill not disappoint!
Soundwave Key West was absolutely amazing! The D.J Shawna was phenomenal playing upbeat music all night, keeping everyone on the dancefloor. Joanna the videographer caught every moment beautifully capturing the exact feel of our night. I cant wait to watch it over and over again for years to come!
Thank you so much for the great wedding video. You guys rock!!!
Words cant even describe what an amazing job Soundwave did for our wedding. We had the pleasure of working with Shawna as our DJ & Joanna as our videographer.We immediately connected with Shawna who opened her home to us like family when we first met her. She did an amazing job choosing music that coordinated with our theme, who we are, and where we were at in the wedding/reception. All of our guests loved how friendly and outgoing she was and loved seeing her out on the dance floor with them!Joanna did a phenomenal job as our videographer. At first we were hesitant of the cost, but once we watched our video we knew it was worth it. Our wedding & reception went so quick and we missed out on so much, but Joanna was able to capture it. Not once did we even realize she was there filming and did a great job capturing every moment without being intrusive.I can not even begin to thank this team so much for the amazing job that they have done. They were such a big part of our wedding and we are so lucky to have chosen them to capture our special day and look forward to watching our Wedding video for years to come!
My wife and I got married in May at the Audubon House and we couldnt have been happier with DJ Sanaris. He got the crowd pumped, excited and everyone was dancing from the start of the ceremony to the very end. Jim was there everyday to answer any questions we had and he made sure that any special request we had was meet. I would highly recommend Soundwave to anyone getting married or hosting any event in Keywest.
“The Westin Key West Resort & Sunset Key Cottages is always confident when Sound Wave is on the list of vendors for a wedding. They are always professional and dependable. They go out of their way to help in anyway they can. There is never any need to worry, as they are always on top of their game. Soundwave always has all the details they need to make your event run smoothly from capturing all the special moments on video right down to making sure everyone’s name is announced at the right time and with the proper pronunciation. I would highly recommend booking with Sound Wave!”
We had the pleasure of working with Soundwave Productions for our Key West destination wedding on 10-10-15. DJ Shawna played for our special event & she was the best DJ ever! We were able to speak with her before coming down to FL about our music selections & reviewed everything in detail as to how the announcements & music would be played during the evening. Talking with her helped to put our minds at ease & got us even more excited for the upcoming celebrations. From the minute we met Shawna we knew it was going to be a fun night ahead, she was so friendly & fun to work with, the music played got all the guests up & dancing through the whole night! Our family & friends raved about how great the music was, we were so happy to have her play for our wedding day, it made the most beautiful day even more perfect. Thank you Soundwave Productions & DJ Shawna, we had a night to remember that no one will ever forget! xoxo Mr & Mrs Hughes
We hired Soundwave as the DJ/MC for our wedding at Southernmost Resort last weekend. The entire experience was better than I ever could have imagined. Planning the event with Jim Cooper was easy and straightforward. He was always very responsive and understanding about my many questions and changes. Then, Sanaris, our DJ for the event, was the absolute best wedding DJ Ive ever had. First, he had the dance floor packed all night long. Even several guests who arent usually dancers were chanting one more song! at the end of the night. Second, Sanaris was incredibly friendly. He had a smile on his face the whole time. He even got on the dance floor to help us all learn the line dances, I received so many positive comments from our guests. I cant say enough about how happy we were with this company. I cant recommend Soundwave and Sanaris highly enough!
We hired Soundwave for our 241st Marine Corps Birthday Ball at the Truman Little White House. Jim was great to work with and, since he was booked for the date of our event, referred us to one of his DJs, DJ Sanaris, who did a great job. We were relying on our music to really make or break the event and DJ Sanaris did an outstanding job! Highly recommended!
For 5 years as a wedding planner I booked Soundwave for DJ & video because I knew they would be prepared and always do a great job. They made my job easy. Jim & Joanna are simply the most fun, & most beautiful souls I had ever met and we became the best of friends. Now we are more like family.Wait...there is more. I joined the Soundwave Family too and I have been a DJ with them since 2008. I admire the way they approach life & business with integrity and always doing their best. I love my job so much. I get to share in the love, family & celebration with great people from all over the country. I love to meet with couples and plan out music. I feel like it helps us all get excited for the big party. I am a performer and work in theatre and know all about timing and how a certain lyric or build in a song can define a moment. Music has a vibration and I love to send the waves out from romantic and heartfelt to upbeat and fun and then turning it up like a confetti cannon! I love my job, the perks of stunning locations, gourmet meals, & big tips are all just a bonus to the job of helping people have a magical day. My astrologer said I help people open up their heart chakras when they dance. Now I can see it. So much joy at a wedding. Thank you to all the couples who let me be a part of their day. Thank you to all the couples who took time to write reviews, letters or notes on FB. Love DJ Shawna
When originally planning our wedding, we didnt select a videographer. We were told by several friends to book one and dont miss out. They said, get a videographer. It will be worth it! We are so glad that we did.It started with our introduction on the phone. I hung up smiling and confident that booking Soundwave would be a great choice!!! And that it was!! Joanna arrived on our wedding day with a smile on her face. Happiness is what a wedding should be and she brought tons of it. I heard from many guests that she was so sweet and she was more than a videographer. She puts her heart in her work and truly enjoys what she is doing. We received the sneak peek of our video and cried and laughed! When we received the full version of our wedding, we laughed, cried, and celebrated some more. There is so much that goes on during your wedding. It was fun to relive, but even more fun to see everyone having a blast. If you dont book a videographer...change your mind! Its worth it!!!
Our wedding date was September 6th 2015 and I want to tell you about 2 sides of Soundwave, their DJ side and then they also offer videography services that are AMAZING! I apologize for being so long winded with this review but I could write a novel on how fabulous they are and how beyond happy we are with how magical and perfect they made our wedding day!!Lets talk DJ first......I had actually booked another DJ for our wedding reception but for some reason I felt the need to keep searching on-line and kept going back to DJ Jimmys website. I started this wedding process thinking I knew everything and that it would be easy to pick the best vendors and as I got closer to our wedding date I started to realize just how important it is to find likeminded people who share your vision, personality style and want to make you happy.2 weeks before our wedding I cancelled our contract with our original DJ and crossed my fingers that DJ Jimmy would have the date available and be able to take our wedding on. Well... the odds were in our favor and with it being a holiday weekend, we were able to sign a contract and plan everything from the unique wedding party intros to exactly what I wanted and needed for dinner and dancing music so quickly.I had already hired his sister-n-law and wife a year earlier to be our photographer and videographer and have to say that the flow of the photos, video and music was seamless!! Check out their family affair package!I had provided him with a list of songs to play during dinner and heard all of our requests played even the local hits from Hawaii where Jef & I met and fell in love! Jimmy was spot on and kept the energy up for our reception and kept our guests on the dance floor which is very hard with the majority of our wedding guests having 2 left feet! We all danced the night away and I couldnt of been happier with my last minute change and the professionalism and energy of DJ Jimmy with Soundwave!!He also provided my uplighting which I highly recommend as it adds a great feel and atmosphere to the room!You wont be disappointed!!!! Thank you DJ Jimmy!!!!Now can I tell you about the most incredible wedding video they have produced for us! FIRST AND FOREMOST!! The best words of wisdom for our wedding came from my mother in law who said no matter the cost...... HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER! She was absolutely right! Hands down the best money we spent!!!I started working with Joanna last year as I knew I wanted her videography service as I had seen and loved her work. When I met her in May I knew she was our girl as her personality was so professional yet incredibly genuine and bubbly.Weve now been married for almost 2 weeks and Ive watched my 5 minute wedding teaser video about a MILLION times as I believe of course that its the BEST video shes ever put together ;) She was able to convey our love and our personality in this video and I cant wait to see the full version!!!! Every time I watch it I notice different things about what went on and what happened that photos will NEVER be able to convey and I also realized that she did such a wonderful job of1) Knowing where to position herself so that you dont even realize shes there and when you watch the video you cant believe that she filmed that moment.2) Getting us our teaser video immediately. We were 2 days into our honeymoon when she sorted through 7 hrs of footage, broke it down, set it to music and emailed us so we could relive our day as it really goes by so quickly in a blur that without the video, its hard to remember all the little moments.Joanna is just amazing and we couldnt be any happier with both her and her husband who really exceeded our expectations and made an already incredible day even better!! Thank you!
