Tom from Catered Sounds is amazing!
My husband and I met Tom at the bridal expo in Dayton at the beginning of 2020 and instantly knew we wanted him to be our DJ. They have so many helpful tools to make sure he plays the music you want (and you can make a list fo do not plays which I appreciated) and he thinks of all the places you might want a song played (introductions, unity ceremony, cake cutting etc.). Tom is so helpful if you have any questions and we couldn’t have been happier with having him DJ our wedding! We 100% recommend Tom or his son to help you with your DJ needs!

Our wedding was perfect and the music was amazing
I got so many compliments on the music and how much fun everyone had. You did such a wonderful job and I didn’t have to worry about a thing knowing you had everything under control. I can’t thank you enough! I am so glad we went with you for our special day!” – Hannah Tilly –

We were very pleased with your DJ Services.
“I want to let you know how very pleased we were with your DJ services at our daughter’s recent wedding.  You did such an excellent job of moving everything in a timely manner throughout the evening.  We had several guests comment about what a good service you provided.  Lauren and Ross said the day was perfect and they wouldn’t change a thing!  If we know of occasions that a DJ service is needed, we will highly recommend your services. Thanks again for helping make a special day even more special.” – Sharon Dill –

Very Easy To Work With

“Tom was awesome! Very easy to work with. We met with him twice prior to our wedding day and he was very informative and helpful both times. He even came to our rehearsal, which was really nice. He kept our wedding on track and was great with keeping everyone dancing. Tom helped us to shorten our special dance songs to just a couple minutes each, and last minute too. That was really appreciated. He also brought some uplighting, which I didn’t even know I was getting so that was an added bonus! We did not hire a videographer, but Tom set up a little camera on his table and said he will be sending us a video of our first dance and other special dances! I can’t wait to see! I would definitely recommend Catered Sounds to anyone looking for an affordable DJ who also does an above-and-beyond job!” – Jessica & Alek

Did Not Want The Party To End

“I’m writing to let you know that the music, lighting, and your work as MC for the Hutchinson-Simmons wedding on October 24 at Dock 580 were outstanding! We received so many compliments on the music and how much fun everyone had dancing that evening. As you could tell, the bridal party and many, many guests did not want the party to end. 🙂
One of my favorite moments of the evening was when my husband, Rick, and Chelsea were dancing to “My Girl” by the Temptations. Friends and family began singing along to the chorus and you gave them additional support by encouraging them to do it. I will always treasure that sweet memory!   Thanks again for making a 2-level reception location completely doable, and for playing music which was such a wonderful part of our happy celebration.”     Kind regards,  Kris

Went Above And Beyond

“Tom went above and beyond! I could not have asked for a better DJ. He did our outdoor ceremony sound, came to our rehearsal dinner and set the tone for the rest of the night as our DJ! He allowed us to pick music through a super user friendly website and was quick to respond to questions and concerns. You can’t beat his pricing or entertainment! His stage set up was a huge plus with the beautiful lighting!”  – Moriah Day –

You’re Awesome

I just wanted to write a quick note of thanks to let you know how much we appreciate your expertise and all the music, and MC and lights!  It was fabulous and we will use your services again when my oldest daughter gets married!  I have passed your name and email address onto several young engaged couples that were in attendance.  FABULOUS JOB!!!   I ENJOYED TALKING WITH YOU, and having the groom hand Danielle over to her daddy for the Father/Daughter dance in the way you did it was so nice.  I appreciate you!  Thanks for everything!  Soooo sad it’s over.  You’re awesome.  – Diane Price, Mother of the Bride –

Seriously Incredible

Your Service Pushed It Over The Top

You Were Beyond Helpful

Everyone Was Dancing The Entire Time

“We would like to thank you for everything you did in helping us prepare music for our wedding reception. We appreciate you meeting with us multiple times and being prepared on the order of events, etc. I would say the music was a big hit at the wedding, seeing how everyone was dancing the entire time. We all had a blast, and a big reason is because of you. Thank you for everything! It would not have been the same without your help!” – Jessie and Andrew Carf –

Guests All Had A Marvelous Time

“Tom was the DJ at our wedding, and he was absolutely amazing!  He was able to get a hold of almost every song we wanted to hear.  He followed the schedule we had come up with, but also was easy-going with it and was able to adapt to changes in schedule.  He went above and beyond my expectation of a DJ.  He made sure the bridal party had plenty to drink, he kept getting us more if we needed it, he also carried the dinner plates for the girls.  He was a very friendly, easy-going person, and we are both so happy we chose him.  He made our wedding more intimate, meaning he was very experienced, and went with the flow of things.  Everything kept on rolling, and the guests all had a marvelous time!!!”                            – Alycia & Chris Chapman –

Everyone Absolutely Loved You

You did an amazing job keeping our guests on their feet and everyone absolutely loved you!  We can’t thank you enough for staying late to keep our reception going through the night.  Thanks again!  P.S. We have recommended you to friends with upcoming weddings.  Keep up the good service !  🙂     – Jeff and Brandie Wright –

Kept The Party Going All Night Long

“I’ve been to a lot of weddings before my own, and have witnessed many DJ’s.  Tom is by far the nicest & most fun that one could ask for at an event.  He was very professional, well mannered, and kept the party going all night long.  I’m still getting compliments on his service, and have passed his name along to those getting married soon.  Thank you so much for adding that special touch to my fairytale ending, and ensuring my big day to be hassle free.  I can  never say enough thanks for the excellent service you’ve provided to my new husband and me.”           – Heather Thomas –

Two Months Later We’re Still Getting Compliments

“Tom was great from day 1.  He worked very hard to incorporate all of our requests and worked diligently to find special songs that we requested.  I highly recommend his services to anyone who wants a worry-free event.  He’ll handle everything and allow you to relax and have fun.  Two months after our reception, we are still getting compliments!” – Amanda Ayers –

Everyone Had Their Toes-A-Tapping

“We want to thank you again for coming out and making our day a special one.  You did an awesome job keeping our guests entertained.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and had their toes-a-tapping!  We will definitely recommend your services to anyone looking for a DJ.”  – Kevin & Angela –

Still Getting Rave Reviews

“We’re still getting rave reviews of the reception and your ability to keep the dance floor going all night is a consistent theme!  We were very pleased with the job you did and really appreciate how many of our requested songs you found and played, especially given our last minute picks the day before!  It made everything much better.  We’re also very pleased that you helped keep our schedule on track without much guidance.  You managed to keep the flow of the evening rolling even with the two-room scenario we had going on.  Thanks again. We’ll be recommending you to all the people who attended our wedding who will have their own coming up in the next few years.  No doubt they’ll remember!”   – Steve & Andrea Barone –

Thank You For Your Professionalism

“Andrew and I both want to thank you for your professionalism as our DJ for our wedding.  Thank you for carrying my plate back to our table for me, it was one of the highlights of my night, very special!  There are so many things that we appreciated and really thought were special about how you kept the night flowing and kept the party going.  We already have people requesting your information from us and, through word of mouth we have all good things to say about you and can hopefully send some clients your way.  If we ever need a DJ for an event again, we will hopefully be contacting you (if you’ll have us!!)  Again, we can’t thank you enough for your excellent contribution to the best night of our lives yet!!”    -Jody & Andrew Peyton-

Everyone Enjoyed Themselves Immensely

“The wedding reception was a great success, thanks to Catered Sounds.  Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.  Our DJ, Matt, had the perfect music.  We  couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable evening.  Thank you again, and please give a special Thank You to Matt.”          – Lori Kreutzer –

Great For School Dances

“I am happy to recommend Tom Faris of Catered Sounds to DJ your Special Event.  He has DJ’d many of Blanchester’s school sponsored dances and I have also recommended him to several of my friends for weddings and reunions.  They were as pleased with him as I am with his professionalism and choice of music.”  -Darlene Blanton-
