No other event in life
is like your wedding reception. You've dreamt about it for years
and now the moment is finally here. Everything has to be just
right. Everything has to be just perfect. Of
course, the perfect wedding deserves an extraordinary reception.
You will spend
countless hours
organizing things just the way you want them. Every detail will be
carefully thought out to add just the right touch to your wedding
reception.
You've probably got questions too. Questions like...
"How
will you make your reception a unique reflection of who you are?
"What
events and traditions should you consider? What's old?
What's new? "What are some current wedding trends"............When should we ............?
Do you really want to leave all those plans in the hands of the lowest priced DJ with a laptop that only does weddings as a hobby instead of a full-time profession?

How can we help you create the wedding reception of your dreams?
Selecting the right entertainment is an important investment into your wedding celebration’s success, and is one of the most important decisions you will probably consider for your special day. At Soundwaves Entertainment, we understand the importance of your "once in a lifetime" celebration, and our promise to you is to help you create a "stress-free" entertainment experience that you and your guests will never forget. We believe in total event personalization, and we also utilize a "modern style" approach to wedding entertainment that will keep you in the spotlight without using “cheesy” outdated DJ techniques. From the format of your cocktail hour…to your grand entrance music…through dinner…cake cutting, and the formal dance segments of your reception, we will work with you to help you materialize your wedding vision to perfection. From carefully chosen music that will keep your guests dancing all night to personalizing the music for traditional events like the cake cutting and bridal party introductions. We don't utilize a standard “cookie cutter” approach to wedding entertainment because every affair is unique and every client is different. We all have different tastes and style so we will let you customize and personalize your music and itinerary for your reception. We can also offer "alternative suggestions" for some of your reception events if you prefer not to go with the "Traditional" approach. We also offer you helpful online event planning tools so that you can log in and select or modify your song requests, formal dance songs or Bridal Party lineup at anytime prior to your event date. We also offer you the ability to meet directly with your DJ. Working together in person with your Photographer, Videographer and Banquet Manager, we will make your wedding day exactly what you always dreamed it would be. Perfect! It would be my honor to use my time, experience and expertise to help you make your wedding dreams come true. I would love to hear from you so that you can tell me about your vision for your reception. Let's start making your wedding wishes into beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

Custom Monogram Light with Couple's Names and Wedding Date
Your services exceeded our expectations! We searched and searched for the right DJ and came upon Soundwaves Entertainment and we are so happy we did. You played a perfect variety of music that allowed all of our guests to enjoy our day. You played every song that we specially requested. Everyone keeps saying how much of a good time they had dancing! The main attraction that everyone loved was our names being projected on the wall above the head table. It was a huge hit! We just want to say thanks again for helping to make our wedding day perfect! We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know looking for a great DJ.

"We booked Chris Pyle from Soundwaves as our
wedding DJ. He did a wonderful job. Not only was he really flexible with
allowing us to play a large part in choosing the music we wanted at the
reception, he did a wonderful job varying up our playlist. He also M.C.'d and took extra care to make sure that he pronounced everyone's name correctly, etc. The dance floor was packed almost immediately after we cut the cake. Our guests complimented the wide variety of music. Even the dinner music was done perfectly. My husband and our families are planning on using him if we ever need a DJ again."

1. Selection of Music
You will have a diverse age range of guests with different tastes in music, so you will need a large selection to choose from. Select from SOUNDWAVES 30,000 song titles from Big Band, Oldies, Classic Rock, Disco, Top 40, International Wedding Music, Country and more! Our music library is constantly updated every month to ensure that we have the most current hits in all music formats.
All of our "newer dance hits" are edited for explicit language and we only play
the "edited radio version or clean version of the song. You can pick the songs you like or the ones that you think your friends and family might like from our "Most Requested Songs". You can even create a "Do Not Play List" if there are any particular songs or types of music that you prefer to not have played. Your DJ will use your customized
music play list as well as their skills to read and work the crowd to keep your guests on the dance floor. Your guests are welcome to make requests during the reception and your DJ will play as many as possible in the allotted time
frame. This will help to insure the success of your dream wedding celebration
and keep your dance floor full and your guests having fun by playing what you and your guests like to hear. Not The DJ!
2. Experience
You need a DJ who has worked with other wedding professionals to know what is needed, when it is needed. You need a DJ that can co-ordinate the timing of events with the photographer, caterer and you. Soundwaves Entertainers are Experienced Music Professionals. They program the right music at the right time to keep your guests on the dance floor! Your DJ will also help co-ordinate the timing of the reception events with the caterer, photographer, and you to ensure that your reception flows smoothly. All of Soundwaves
full time DJ's have a minimum of 10 years wedding experience and most have prior radio, television or communications experience.
Over 80% of our Business is Backed By Referrals from previous clients. Customer
Satisfaction is of our utmost priority. We are also on the preferred list
of vendors for some of the top tier venues in the area. They only refer
clients to us and recommend our services because they know that we provide an
exceptional level of service to each and every one of our clients!
3. Equipment
You want a professional looking display to compliment your wedding day. Each of our Six
Digital DJ Systems are mounted in attractive cases that look appealing to the eye when set up. Weekly maintenance of each system insures proper functioning at every event.
We also have a complete back up system and back up music library on site
at every event in case of the unlikely event of electronic failure.
(This is a very important question to ask any DJ that you might consider).
In the digital age there are a lot of DJ's using laptops with no back up system
in place. If their hard drive crashes and they don't have a back up your
reception is over!
4. Consultation
Chris Pyle will take the time to meet with you about your special needs and to answer any questions you might have regarding your reception planning. If Chris Pyle is not personally available to handle your reception, we also provide the opportunity
for you to meet with the actual DJ that will be doing your reception prior to booking your date. Another appointment
(Final Consultation) is normally scheduled with your DJ about 4-6 weeks before your date to go over music selection,
proper pronunciation of bridal party names and the itinerary or timeline for your reception.
Please Call us or email us to schedule your free no-obligation wedding
consultation today!
5. Cost
Don't shop around for the lowest price DJ. You get what you pay for and this is not
the time to take a chance that you will be sorry when it's over. Don't base your
decision on price alone! We pride ourselves on being the most professional and affordable DJ service in the area. You may find another service that is cheaper but you will not get the same quality, reliability, and attention to detail and professionalism that you get with Soundwaves. Customer satisfaction is our main priority. DJ's can make or break your reception. You want a DJ to make your day memorable, not an embarrassment. There is no extra charge for set-up or tear down of equipment. Everything is included in one Event Price.
6. Contract
Protect yourself against the possibility of a disc jockey canceling a week before your wedding. After we accept a job, we never cancel. Soundwaves Entertainment is a Registered P.A. business carrying Full Liability
and property damage Insurance for all events and venues. We can even provide a
certificate of insurance for your venue if they require it.
7. Payment Plan
We offer a payment plan so you can book your date and pay your balance over
time. Most of our clients prefer this option so they can have their account paid
in full before their big day and have money left for their honeymoon. Once the
initial deposit is paid, you can make payments at any time prior to your event
date. I will mail you a receipt for each payment made on your account. Think of
it as putting your DJ on layaway. We accept personal checks, debit cards and
MasterCard, Visa and Discover for your convenience!

8. Ceremony Music
Soundwaves can provide traditional or non-traditional wedding music for your ceremony as well as reception. If your ceremony is
outdoors or in a separate room or location from your reception we will set up our main DJ system in the reception hall and use a smaller, compact
sound system with two wireless mics (lapel mics, handheld mics or a combination
of each) for the groom and ceremony officiate so that your guests will be able to hear your
wedding vows during the service. The use of 2 sound systems will eliminate the need to relocate equipment during your event. If your ceremony is the same room as the reception
or is within a minimal distance we can utilize our main system for both the ceremony
and reception. If you already have 'live music" or if you will be having a
"Reading" or "Vocalist" during your ceremony we can also provide a PA/ sound
system with microphones and mic stands. If your ceremony site does not
have power, we can provide our own portable electric generator for an additional
nominal fee.
9. When to Book
It is recommended to book your date as early as possible. Most of our wedding clients book at least 9-12 months or more in advance to secure their date of choice. Our busiest months are May, June, September, October, and December. During these months we get many requests for dates for Proms, Graduation Parties, Homecoming Dances, Halloween, and Christmas Parties as well as weddings. If your date is within any of the above months, it is best to reserve your date 12-15 months in advance!
10. Discounted Rates .....We offer discounts for Friday and Sunday wedding receptions as well as an early event discount for Saturday receptions ending by 4 pm. We also offer a $100.00 discount off of our regular price if your date is in December, January, February, March, April, August, November or December!

About
Our Services...... Lauren |

" Mark and I wanted to thank you for providing the music and entertainment for our wedding. We also want to thank you for providing the mics at the last minute for the ceremony. Everyone had a great time dancing and listening to the music. Thanks again for suggesting the "Anniversary Dance". It worked so nice. That was the first time I ever saw my grandparents dance!! Thanks again for a great job and for being a part of our special day. " Mark and Nancy |
|
" Craig was the DJ at our wedding. He was awesome. He confirmed everything before the ceremony, during downtime (pictures of girls, then pictures of guys). We gave him several songs we liked, and trusted him to pick others from his experience and by "working the crowd", by seeing what people were interested in. He was great. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. " Denise A. |

" We wanted to thank you for helping to make our wedding an extra-special event for us. I've received many kudos on the music and your DJ services. You worked hard at making everything run smooth and were very happy with the service you provided. We also appreciate how easy it was working with you, accommodating our special requests and needs. Not just for the music but for other activities like the chocolate fountain. We have enclosed some pictures for you. I just wanted you to see how much fun everyone had, knowing you played a big part in that. We laughed about about the Anniversary Dance when Kim's grandparent's and my church friends were still dancing at 60 years and they both sat down at 61 years. You were very professional, and we will recommend you to others. Thanks again for a great day! " Dave S. |

" Wow! Were we ever impressed with Soundwaves Entertainment! They were professionals all the way. Our DJ, Craig, did a fantastic job of emceeing the event. The DJ's are really the people that you look to in order to organize the reception event and guide you through the various dances, events, and so on! I liked the wide range of song selections that Soundwaves provided. For us, it was important to have someone who was more laidback and less outlandish and crazy. We definitely had that. Another major thing that I appreciated was that Soundwaves made sure to get everyone's names right who was in the wedding party. At a recent wedding, I had to correct a DJ before they said the bride and groom's last name wrong! They really knew everyone's name. It made it feel so personable! People were up dancing until the very last song! It was a great time, for sure. " Melissa H. We wanted to let you know what a wonderful job Jim Anderson did at our wedding reception. He had everyone on the dance floor all night long and our guests still wanted more after the scheduled reception ending time!!! His music selection was wonderful. My Matron of Honor Sarah recognized him as we were being introduced into the reception and said to us " Hey, Jim did our wedding in 2008". At that point we all knew we were in for a night of Fun. We all had a BLAST! I just wanted to say Thank You again for everything. It was PERFECT. Please tell Jim we said Thank You for a Great Job! Mary Kate and Jason H. We just wanted to say Thank You for making our wedding so fantastic! It was everything I imagined!! You were absolutely great! Your music selection was awesome and you kept the dance floor rockin' all night! I can't thank you enough for making our special day so memorable! Kelly and Josh F. Soundwaves Entertainment (Chris Pyle) did a wonderful job. I was so pleased. This is one thing I would definitely NOT change!!! Prior to my wedding day, Chris was very helpful in working with me to organize the flow of the reception. He has a great deal of experience so he knew just what needed to be done and was willing to work with the concept of the reception for which I was aiming. He was willing to find any song that I requested and already had a expansive library of music. He even found an old-time tune for which I am named because this was the song to which my dad and I wished to dance. Chris came highly recommended from my reception site and from other reception sites I considered. I was worried about a DJ taking over the show but this was not the case. The music was perfect. My guests loved it!! People wanted to start dancing right away after dinner. My aunt even said to me, "I love the music he is playing, I just want to dance! I hope he plays good like this music all night." Chris did. He really read the crowd and had people on the dance floor dancing all night!! We even extended for a 5th hour (we already had him booked for 4 hrs. the price was so reasonable). People of all ages were on the dance floor and people I don't typically see dance. I had checked out many DJ's but Soundwaves was the best price and also the most personable. I find myself recommending Soundwaves and Chris Pyle to all the future brides with whom I speak. I plan to use Soundwaves for big events in the future such as an anniversary party for my parents!!! If you are looking for someone to do an excellent job and respect your wishes for your event. look no further Soundwaves Entertainment is it! Lara B. We are still getting compliments on how great the wedding and DJ was! Now when we go to other weddings we are always disappointed in the DJ because it is so hard for anyone to live up to the great job that Chris did. He was so helpful and for a bride that was pretty clueless about what she wanted, I was thrilled! I told him what genres we liked and some particular songs and we got exactly what we asked for. He took requests and was a great host. Thanks again Chris! Jaime To the Soundwaves team.....Thank You for helping to make my reception a success. Your DJ Craig Glatfelter's playlist was perfect! It was like listening to my own Ipod on shuffle. I appreciate you working with me and my vision for my event. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful evening. Meagan H. Brett and I would like to thank you for doing such an amazing job! You did such a wonderful job DJing our wedding! We could not be more pleased! You kept the reception moving along exactly how we needed it to move! Everyone was very impressed when you pronounced the names of every person in the bridal party correctly and you also won them over again when you played a few extra requests at the end of the night as well! So again, we would like to thank you so much for helping make our wedding day such a wonderful experience! We have been suggesting you to our friends who are getting married next year! Ashley and Brett A. Dear Craig and Soundwaves Staff, Thank You so much for the most amazing wedding ever!! Craig, you went above and beyond our expectations! You even helped out in other areas that had nothing to do with your job. I could not believe how professional you were and how relaxed you made us feel. Everyone had an amazing time. I know they will not soon forget it! I will call you again if we should ever be in need or know of anyone that need the Best DJ's in Central Pa.!!! Thank you so much and God bless! Janet and Glenn H. Craig provided us with the most amazing music and entertainment we could have asked for. He was courteous, funny, and understood how to make everyone enjoy themselves. The music timing was impeccable and everything he did made our day all the more enjoyable. We were so thankful that we chose Soundwaves. Every detail of our entertainment went smoothly. We even got to use a snow machine for our first dance, which was so appropriate since our reception was at Ski Roundtop! We totally recommend Soundwaves Entertainment! Brittany L. We were extremely pleased with DJ Tony Gerecht. Tony did an amazing job at our wedding. Everything was perfect. I would highly recommend him and Soundwaves Entertainment any day! We had so many compliments from our guests after the wedding telling us what a great time they had and how they thought the DJ was awesome! Tony was extremely professional and saw to it that our reception ran smoothly. He went above and beyond what was expected of him. Thank you so much for making our day wonderful!!! We will certainly be calling you again for our entertainment needs in the future. Lisa K. I wanted to let you know that you were the BEST DJ that we could have asked for! Everyone had so much fun at our reception and we are well aware that there is no way anyone could have had that much fun without you making sure people were enjoying the music and atmosphere!! I can't begin to thank you enough...We got so much praise for the amazing job you did! I have been telling everyone that I know that is getting married in Central Pa. about Soundwaves Entertainment!
