Jason was fantastic throughout our entire wedding day! I really appreciated how well Jason followed the timeline we had put together. When it came time for dancing, he did an amazing job keeping our guests engaged. Jason was also incredibly professional and easy to contact throughout the planning process. Above all, he truly brought our vision to life. Thanks Jason!

Fred was fantastic! He was highly professional and did a terrific job curating music that matched our tastes based on the general guidelines we gave. He also took the time to understand what was important to us and worked hard to bring our vision to life. We would have no reservation to hire him again for another event.

Kevin was amazing! We highly recommend him. He was so flexible and professional. We made a few on the fly changes to our line up and speech order, but he was able to accommodate all our needs to make the night perfect. Our guests were also giving us compliments on how much they loved the DJ. In addition to the music selection, the uplighting was perfectly placed and matched our elegant fall theme.

DJ Kevin was a hit! Very professional. He was on time when we met him. He also introduced himself to a few guests which made them feel comfortable enough to request songs (my friends love to do this) and he played it for them gracefully! The playlist was great and diverse enough that there was always someone out on the floor dancing. A few of my guests told me afterwards how much theyve enjoyed it! Cant thank DJ Kevin Compton enough!!!

When my husband & I went to a bridal show at the venue we booked (Merion Tribute House), we met Dan at the Silver Sound Entertainment table. He asked us about our desires for our big day without being too intrusive. We had a good experience just talking with him about weddings & some trivial things about the weekend as well. When it came time for us to book a DJ, we immediately thought of Dan-he was charismatic, described as a hype man, & was really easy to talk to. The portal for everything Silversound was pretty easy to navigate & it was nice to get every detail about all the dj�s we browsed. Dan responded via email in a timely manner & was thorough and concise with his responses. Our phone call review the week before the wedding was great-he went over every little detail my husband & I completed on the online portal contract down to the pronunciation of my matron of honors last name. Our reception music was easy-listening & I knew Dan had it covered. I was pleasantly surprised as he approached me to make sure details with the entrances of the bridal party were covered, asked if I needed more time before guests were served dinner, & adjusted the volume as needed to our requests. Dan worked effortlessly with our catering team & photographer to ensure everything worked seamlessly for our event to go on without a hitch. My favorite part of the evening-the DANCING- was well-accompanied by the playlist we built & Dan adjusted to his and our discretion. I don�t think that the dance floor was empty once we got started. Dan was excellent with his announcement skills-don�t underestimate something as simple as this, because it really does set the tone for an event. He was not overpowering or commanding, but very clear and direct. He was so easy to work with and flexible enough to work with our desires. I would absolutely take Dan to another event of mine any day of the week. Thanks so much, Dan- Justin and I had the greatest time thanks to you!

Jason at Silver Sound was the best DJ for our NYE wedding at Merion Tribute House. Overall, the planning process was so easy with the SS online portal - from paying, reviewing the contract, adding uplighting, and adding songs, it was all right there in one convenient location. We met with Jason a few times and he was always willing to make suggestions, double check details, and even take into account the (long) list of songs that our guests had asked to play! Id recommend Silver Sound Entertainment without hesitation, most especially Jason Remaly.

Paul Evans was excellent. He read the mood of the room perfectly and played the songs everyone wanted to hear. We gave him the suggestions people posted to us but gave Paul free reign to play whatever came to mind and everyone loved it. There were people on the dance floor all night long. Paul was highly recommended to us and did not disappoint, and so we will recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for a DJ and use him again in the future.

There are some people that have that "it" factor. We knew when we met Steve on a chilly Spring day in March that Steve had that "it" factor. After a brief FaceTime interview with Steve a few weeks later, we knew we had our DJ for our special day! What really separated Steve was when we asked, "What makes your different than other DJs?" And his answer was bold. He stated we should read his reviews and contact those people who wrote them if wanted to confirm. Steve was very flexible and easy work with throughout the process. Anything we needed, he always made himself available. Whether that was email, text or FaceTime! He made it a top priority to make sure he tailored the timeline and entertainment to the personality of our wedding. During the reception, Steve always stuck to the timeline and made the most of the time we had. He always kept our friends and family entertained. A friend of mine who is very critical of wedding DJs at one point said, "Who is this DJ? He might be the best I have ever seen!" He even threw in a few little surprises, that we won't ruin but you'll have to see for yourself. We highly recommend Steve. We really appreciate everything he did and you won't be disappointed!

He played the right mix of genres and group them together so well to keep the party going all night long! He was such a nice guy and we had so much fun! Well definitely recommend Jeff for any occasion! Thanks! Danielle & George

Had my wedding night not actually been my wedding, it still would have been a top 10 night, and that is due to the work of Steve Croce. He struck the right tone for every moment of our reception, from the sincere and slow to the loud and fast. He was excellent to work with in terms of helping my wife and I get our playlist set and then filling in the gaps perfectly. He also worked very well with all of our guests to make sure they heard everything they wanted to hear (but nothing my wife and I didnt want to hear). Steve is an obvious professional and a great guy on top of it. We couldnt have been happier to have him MC our evening.

Adam KILLED IT at our wedding. Everyone had an amazing time and I do owe it to him. Numerous people mentioned that the DJ was on point. If he played a song and people started leaving the dance floor, he changed it up halfway to bring them back on! He was so so good! I also really enjoyed meeting and getting to know him. We spoke a few weeks prior to the wedding for a good hour walking through everything - which was great. I felt like he really cared about us and making sure the wedding went smoothly. I would recommend Adam in a heartbeat!

We had our wedding at the Merion Tribute House and silver sound was one of the recommended vendors. After reading reviews we decided to go with Dan Breslin. We were not sorry! He was awesome! Very personable and attention to detail. I didnt have to worry about anything! Our guests had a blast, the music was great! Our guest were up dancing ALL night! And my husband and I were too. Everyone who attended the wedding said it was the best wedding they had bet been to- Dan even got my Dad up dancing all night - and my Dad does not dance! My siblings and I were shocked- lol. Really we can say enough about Dan he was great! We will definitely hire him again for upcoming events!
