Wedding guests are dancing and having a great time on the dance floor as your favorite songs boom out from quality speakers. These once-in-a-lifetime moments are being carefully cultivated by the expert sound engineers from Wall of Sound Productions.
“We offer professional DJ services for private events and weddings,” said WOS Productions owner, Carlo Banda said. “We know how to create a vibe and match what the client wants for their party.”
Banda started his career with private events in 2010 and worked his first wedding in 2012. Now he has more than a decade of experience and two other DJs on his team. WOS Productions does more than 80 events a year and is ready to make the most of your big day.
“We love seeing guests dancing and mingling and creating those memories that will linger long after the party’s over,” Banda said.
The DJs want every couple to have a completely customized musical experience, so they send out a planning worksheet 30 to 45 days before the event. This helps the WOS Productions team to create a list of songs that will keep the party going.
“We do have our clients create a Spotify playlist that we use as a guide to see what our clients and their guests like,” he said. “But we’re not just going to hit play and walk away. We’re going to read the room and make sure we’re doing everything we can to make sure everything is running smoothly.”
Most inquiries for Wall of Sound Productions come through their website at www.wosproductions.com. While some couples still prefer to meet with Banda and his associates before their big day, the DJ said it is possible to flesh out the event through email correspondence.
“When I do have the pleasure of doing client meetings, my goal is to give them as much information as possible so they can feel as comfortable and confident as possible with whoever they pick to be their DJ that evening.”
If you are interested in booking Wall of Sound for your next party or event, be sure to book your date quickly.
“We do book out fairly early in the year,” Banda said. “Most of the time, six to nine months in advance, but we’ve done bookings 14 months out. So, do your research and don’t hesitate to make your decision.”
