Where do I start, Justin and my family had such a long relationship that I don't want to leave out one bit of information so that you know exactly what a wonderful DJ / MC you are getting when you hire this man. My son and daughter in law picked Justin after a lot of research for their wedding that was being held at The Grand Island Mansion in Walnut Grove. The prerequisite was the DJ had to LOVE working the Mansion which I guess can be a little challenging for some DJ's to play. So once they found out how much Justin loved playing the Mansion it was full speed ahead.
One of the things they wanted was a rendition of their "Love Story" to give their guests an idea of how they met and the road they had traveled to get to where they were on their wedding day. Justin had never done anything like that before but was anxious to do his first one for our son and his soon to be wife. He called them and got their story and then the parents to find out that side of the story...
On their Special Day, Justin did an outstanding job and all of the guests were thrilled to have had that insight. Secondly Justin in his own time helped me on the phone and though Face Book Chat to compile a dvd of the kids from birth through their dating and engagement and to attach music to this project. He worked also with the Best Man on this to make sure the final product was amazing .... and it was!
We really wanted Justin to join us at the rehearsal at the Mansion and for the rehearsal dinner following ... we thought it would be nice to get his perspective for the wedding as he had been to the Mansion many times and was comfortable and knowledgeable of the proceedings. He along with Debbie one of the Coordinators for the Mansion were most helpful in working together to make this a very easy process, a lot of fun also! At the rehearsal dinner Justin was like family that we had known for many years and we loved having the connection with him as it made all involved very comfortable and I feel it helped make the whole wedding more personal!
So the day of the wedding is here and I never worried one bit as Justin knew exactly what the kids wanted and had shared his music time line with our photographer Chris Shepard of Shepard Photography, in Roseville, who has also worked many events at The Grand Island Mansion and who we also recommend highly for your Special Day or occasion. Our Vendors worked hand in hand and so finely tuned due to them all working this venue before that non of us ever had a concern or problem.
An event this big and with the pressures that can be associated with weddings can be so exhausting that you do not need to worry about your DJ.... and I can promise that your dance floor will never be empty and that the music you planned to have played and the professionalism that you expect will be totally done to your expectations with your hiring of Justin of Sounds To Go, an amazing and very hands on DJ who will put your Special Day or event first and foremost to make sure it is the day and party you always wanted! |

Justin was our DJ for our wedding in June 2014. From the minute we met Justin he was very professional and we could tell that he was very talented! He was in constant contact with us through emaiil, phone, and even text messages. He answered any question we had and was extremely helpful. We met a couple times before the event and he had all the paperwork and material ready to collect the information for our big day. He made it personable to our event, made great suggestions, and was open to any changes that we made throughout the whole process.
Justin met the whole family and wedding party on the night of the rehearsal. He took lead and we felt very comfortable with him helping and running through the order of details for the whole wedding.
On the day of our wedding, Justin showed up early to set up and get everything ready! He was great in the fact that he knew exactly what he was doing and exactly where to set everything up without asking us any further questions (last thing anyone wants on their wedding day is to be bugged with questions or anything else). He made relationships with the venue staff and all of our vendors to ensure a perfect day! He set up sound/music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! We had wireless microphones for the ceremony that worked perfectly the entire time. The timing of the different music and songs for the procession, bride, and recession was perfect!
The reception music was PERFECT! Justin was great and a true professional DJ! He played exactly what we wanted and chose perfect songs to complement. Justin made sure EVERYONE was dancing and having a great time! He was great on the fly with request from the guest! At our wedding we had a surprise performance by one of our guest that sang the entire "Humpty Dance" song! Justin made the call to allow it and it was a great decision!!!! Possibly the highlight of the night!!!
All of our guest could not stop raving about how great the wedding was because of our DJ Justin! He did a great job! I would recommend Justin to everyone!
Please do yourself a favor and book this AMAZING DJ for your wedding or event! You will be extremely happy with him!
Thank you so much Justin! Look forward to working with you in the future!
Love,
Steven & Briana Wolfe

Justin with Sounds to Go - Sacramento Wedding DJ - is fantastic. I found Justin through my daughter’s school, he volunteers every year for my daughter's elementary father/daughter dance and thought we would give him a look. I was impressed with his website and reviews I found and once my hubby and I met him, we knew he was the guy. He was hands on, gave us a great print out of song choices and didn't blink when I warned him that I am a brat when it comes to music selection. We signed, we paid and he still was 100% customer service friendly. He truly made us feel like we were his only couple, he was prompt in answering emails and on time to every meeting and of course the big day. The flow of the music during the reception was spot on, no "train wrecks" as my hubby calls delay of music change. He played what we wanted and of course didn't play what we didn't want. I was even more impressed when during our dinner blessing, our venue lady (that's another experience) was talking to someone and Justin politely asked her to shush. Justin knew we were having a tough experience with her; he didn't play sides, kept professional but saw to it that my groom and I enjoyed our evening without any fuss. Justin wrote our timeline for the day and he stayed true to it without feeling rushed. Actually, by the end of the evening, Justin was the event coordinator as well; he made the ceremony and reception run smoothly and perfectly. When the night was over, everything we wanted to have happen did and the party ended on an enormous high. If you want a DJ as awesome as ours, Justin is your guy.

Very Professional, Great Organization and Musical Knowledge
When we hired Justin he was always quick to respond and offer suggestions and we were impressed with how professional he was throughout the whole process. We loved how he worked with our music suggestions and "filled in the blanks" with songs that suited our style but were also crowd pleasers. My husband and I were impressed with the music selection he played throughout our wedding. We have received several compliments about the music played and are thankful that Justin executed the plan so well! He worked very hard throughout the whole event and helped set up the wedding decor before the ceremony. We did not ask him to do this, he did it on his own because he is a stand up guy. Justin was very punctual and organized and we never had to stress or worry about him doing his job right. He did it right and he did it well. Overall my husband and I are very happy with our experience and would recommend him to any bride or groom looking for a DJ in the Sacramento area.

You did a great job! It was crazy for you having to set up 3 different times, I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. Matt and I were happy with all the music and the job that you did. A lot of people had called us the day after while we here in Hawaii to say that that was the best wedding that they have ever been to, and that was our goal! We wanted everyone to have a lot of fun and have one big party and you made that happen. Thanks again."

We have received many compliments about what a great wedding we had. Everybody in attendance had a great time. We had the time of our lives, and are left with a wonderful experience that we will treasure forever. Thank you so much for making our day possible.

Justin, thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at our wedding. We got many compliments from our friends about how terrific you were. Everyone had a blast dancing the night away. We went to another wedding this past weekend, and the DJ played almost exclusively hip-hop music that no one was dancing to, but when he rarely played other kinds of music, the dance floor was full. He didn't seem to catch on.
Shawn and I just kept saying how lucky we were to have had a great DJ at our wedding, you really made the reception more fun and exciting (and hot!) than we could have hoped. The music was fantastic!
We will definitely be recommending you to everyone we can think of in the area! We hope to see you at other weddings soon! Take care.

Justin was the DJ at our wedding and he did a very good job. He was well prepared, very detailed, and a pleasure to work with. He is very creative. I provided him high level ideas for the type of music I wanted for the cocktail hour and without asking he developed a wonderful mix of music based on my ideas and thoughts. I highly recommend him."

Justin was recommended to us when I called another DJ who specialized in much larger events and was outrageously expensive. Justin was quite affordable, so we took a chance on him. We had a small wedding (70 people) so we wanted something intimate. Justin accommodated that and worked with our space at the Sterling Hotel drawing room. He was dependable, flexible and lots of fun! Everybody was on the dance floor from teens to grandparents. He also provided the music for our entire ceremony from the prelude on. He had all of the music that we wanted and then some!!! Many people commented that he did a good job.
We took a chance, but got very lucky! I would definitely recommend him for any event. Class act!"

I hired Justin for my wedding (October 10, 2010) and I couldn't be happier with my decision! He came recommended and we had good rapport over email so it started off really well. We met to go over music and information about us/the wedding part/family/etc and he was really patient while we were trying to do finalize our music selection. We also basically gave him full reign over the music (just gave him a mood or genre we wanted or liked) and let him do the rest! It was wonderful!! Great songs the whole night through! I cannot count how many people came up to us saying 1. how good our DJ was and 2. how good the selection of music was! I wish I could have taken credit but credit is all due to Justin. Not only did he do a fantastic job as our DJ/MC but he was there to help us out of a tight spot with the ceremony part! So, I don't know if you have been to any wedding shows but there are a lot of really...odd DJ's out there. You know the kind, like that guy on the Wedding Singer (the competing band lead singer). Justin is not like this at all! Very professional and not cheesy! It reflected very well on our event. So, all in all: HIGHLY recommend Sounds To Go! All of my expectations were exceeded and I'm sure yours will, too.

Hi! Justin was recommended to us by our wedding planner. We're both full time students and were on a very strict budget for our wedding. Justin was amazing in accommodating us and guiding us through the process of selecting music. I didn't even know I could have different music for different parts of my wedding! Thanks Justin so much for your suggestions and expertise. Believe me people, he had A TON of amazing music. And since we're both Latino, he was great in accepting our own personal collection of salsa music and mixing it up for our family members during our wedding. All my family was very impressed. And I was SO relieved that we just didn't leave our music for our wedding and wedding reception up to just a family friend but to a true professional that gave us exactly what we wanted. And when we were unsure of what we wanted, helped us in making the right choice for every beautiful part of our wedding. Music is so important since for me I'm a big music lover and now can remember my most happiest day just by remembering the wonderful music played. Thanks again Justin!!!

We had sooo much fun at the wedding--the music was great! I can't believe nothing was newer than 1989... Patrick and I both think that is pretty cool... and I received A LOT of compliments on the music from guests too!
Thanks again Justin, you really made it the perfect party...

*DJ note: We knew going into this one that we would be playing a good bit of older music, but as it turned out, the whole dance floor was going CRAZY right up until the end of the night, and the newest song we played all night was from 1989! ("Bust A Move" by Young MC)

Justin did an excellent job on my parents' 25th wedding anniversary. He was always open and willing to go the extra distance for our family! (Thank you very much for picking up the projector and returning it; little things like that helped out a lot.) Not only did he work as our MC and DJ, but he also went out of his way to help us schedule and coordinate the event! He's awesome!

Funnest day of our lives! Justin did an amazing job at our June wedding. Even though it was 110 degrees out he stuck it out like a champ and helped us have the most perfect day ever. Planning with him was so easy; everything we wanted or needed he made happen. Thank you so much Justin!

We hired Justin from Sounds To Go to be the DJ for our wedding, and what an amazing job he did! We went to another wedding where Justin was the DJ, and we thought he did a wonderful job, but what we didn’t know is how much more work he does than just show up and play music. I first spoke to him on the phone and he was very pleasant to talk with. I had spoken to many DJs and a lot of them I just didn’t connect with, but Justin communicated well and was easy to talk to. We decided to meet at a Starbucks and he was able to drive down and meet us half way between where we live and Roseville. When we got to Starbucks we were pleased to find that he was early because no one wants a late DJ showing up for their wedding, so for us it was a great start. Justin went over the services he provided and we where both impressed because his services were more extensive than we thought and he was very thorough. We felt very comfortable and confident with his presentation and decided to book Justin (Sounds To Go) for our garden wedding. The day of the wedding Justin arrived early to make sure he had his sound systems setup and ready for our special day. We had our ceremony on a hillside overlooking a canyon and had the reception on a large back lawn in a garden setting, so Justin had to setup two sound systems. The music he played during hors d'oeuvres was great and the reception went off without a hitch. We used a lapel mic for the officiant and the sound was great. Justin kept the evening moving along smoothly and did an amazing job with coordinating with cater etc. to make sure he made all the announcements and kept the event moving along at the right pace. Because of the large area he also setup additional speakers to make sure all our guest could hear the music and announcements. When it came to the dancing Justin played great selection of music and got the whole crowd involved so everyone had fun dancing throughout the night. We had many guests comment about how great the DJ was so of course, we HIGHLY recommend Justin and Sounds To Go!

Justin was the DJ at our wedding in September of '07. I was so proud to have him as part of our event. He worked closely with me making sure that I had everything I wanted for our big day. The Music was perfect down to the last detail, everyone had a BLAST! Justin is very professional, his communication is amazing, he arrived early, stayed late, dressed the part, and even helped with some unexpected moving of the chairs! Working with Justin was like working with a friend and I have and will continue to refer him to anyone in need. Thanks for all your hard work!

Justin Prahar of Sounds To Go serviced our music needs at our Sept 7, 2008 wedding with all the professionalism and attention to detail that one could hope for. Justin performed above and beyond our expectations and wewould recommend him to anyone and already have. Even after running into some last minute changes and complications at the event, we were able to smoothy maneuver past them as if they never happened. Justin was top notch. He will be the first one we call for any other gatherings that need his expertise.

We hired Justin for our wedding last April. My fiance and had waited so long to book a DJ and we both felt so lucky to have found Justin. He met up with us and was able to put everything for our wedding together in one meeting! He was so easy to work with and he was 100% reliable. When we arrived at our venue (Granite Bay Golf Club) the night of the wedding Justin came out to greet us and make sure our stress level was under control... which was much appreciated! Throughout the dinner he played great music... and he kept the party going during the entire reception! The dance floor at our wedding was always packed and we owe it all to Justin! He was able to control the reception without always being on the microphone! He took all of our guest's requests without hesitation and I needed a few extra slow songs to dance with some special guests and Justin accommodated it all perfectly! Finally, we were on a budget for our wedding and honestly you can't beat Justin's prices! I would recommend Justin at Sounds to Go to anyone having a wedding reception that wants the DJ to be fun, easy to get along with, and amazing at his job! Thanks Justin!"

Dear Justin, Thank you so much for making our recent wedding a memory to never forget. Everything went very smooth, and everything was saying how organized everything was. Thank you for being such a huge part of our wedding. Everyone loved the games we played. They thought they were hilarious. The song selection was perfect for all ages. Thank you so much for being such a great dj.

Thank you for your service on Sunday night. Everything was splendid, and yes, everyone did ... have a great time. The music during dinner was exactly the kind we were looking for: romantic, soft and sentimental, and when it came time to fire it up, everyone enjoyed themselves. Your ability to roll with the flow was appreciated, since the buffet was a little behind the clock, but no one seemed to mind, because it all went so well. Thank you again. I only regret that this is the last wedding for our family...at least for this generation!!

I wanted to thank you for a great job. I think the wedding went off flawlessly and Adam and Megan were very happy with the way their special day went… I got a lot of compliments throughout the night on how well the night was going and that you kept everything on track. Everyone liked the music selection. I would very happily recommend you to any of my family or friends who would need a D.J. at their event. Once again, thank you so much. You did a great job!!
