To Whom It May Concern: I wanted to make sure to write a review for the services my husband and I received from Phenomenon Events and Productions on our wedding day, June 9, 2012. At the risk of sounding "cliche", this company was Phenomenal to work with! The customer service that was provided to us throughout the entire process was amazing. From the smallest detail to make you feel special when you stopped in for a consultation, to the over all planning of our event, they delivered great service. I honestly never felt like we were dealing with "a business" but rather, like we were planning and talking with friends. Our DJ (Ryan McHugh) is also a manager of the company, and even though we booked almost 18 months in advance, he promised to be our personal DJ the night of our wedding. Anytime we had questions or concerns, we were met with warm, genuine people who were eager to make the process easier or get the problem resolved. I was especially impressed when I found out Ryan had to deal with one of our photographers (from a different company) who felt it necessary to be difficult the entire evening and get in the way of our videographers (also hired from Phenomenon Events). He took care of the situation so professionally, and quietly, that it never disrupted the flow of our reception. I was blown away. Many of our guests have commented on how well the wedding flowed, from one event to the next, and from live music (we incorporated Greek instruments into our reception music) to the DJ'd "American" music. I have not heard one complaint about our reception, on the contrary, people are STILL talking about the blast they had!
We picked up our final copy of our wedding DVD last week as well. Again, they didn't disappoint! We have yet to be able to watch it with a dry eye! The videographers caught so many great moments that my husband and I didn't see, or were too busy to notice. They were super unobtrusive and I NEVER felt like I was being followed by "paparazzi". The editing of the final product was simply amazing!
We are so grateful to Ryan, Tasha and Jan for all of their hard work and expertise! My husband and I both agree that we will highly recommend this company for years to come to anyone who is in need of DJ, or videography services! Thanks again Phenomenon Events! You guys ROCK!!
Sincerely,
Justine Semertzides
Bride - June 9, 2012
Jan, Saturday was amazing! Your staff was fantastic! We received nothing but fabulous feedback from all of our guests on the music. We especially loved the "acoustic pop tunes" played during dinner. DJ Mike was wonderful at keeping things moving but still taking suggestions. He was extremely polite to myself and my husband. Our photo crew were exceptional. Natalie was fantastic. She had fabulous ideas and also accepted our and our friend's suggestions like an absolute pro. She was wonderful to work with and we can NOT WAIT to see our photos. Our video boys were also very friendly and professional. They both had great senses of humor, too, which helped. Overall, we were completely satisfied with our Phenomenon experience. We will recommend your company to any/all of our friends for any event. Thank you again for your and your team's hard work. Your employees are truly your best asset.

Jan, Ryan and Phenomenon Sound helped make our daughter's special event very memorable for everyone. Ryan was a consumate professional who assisted the wedding reception with classy announcements and music selection that everyone enjoyed on the dance floor. I will recommend your company to my friends and family and will definitely keep you in mind for my younger daughter when the time comes. Thank you and Ryan so very much!
Joe Tipps, Father of the Bride.
I had the pleasure of working with these guys as the videographer at a wedding this past weekend (my firm is Candlelight Productions "candlelight-productions.com"). The DJ had a small footprint in the corner of the room, with a *huge* impact. The colorful lighting extended well across the room and dancefloor and he timed/balanced the music perfectly to keep guests dancing all night long. And for me, as part of the couple's support team, I most appreciated his attentiveness towards keeping us informed when events were about to take place, and accomodating my special requests to integrate his CD-quality audio into my production.
I can not express my happiness with Phenomenon Sound. They were absolutely amazing. My guests and myself were dancing all night. It went way too fast! Thanks again!
We booked Phenomenon for our wedding and all I can say is wow! The DJ was amazing and he stuck to our "do not play" list 100% I was very nervous about this. It went amazing! 5 Stars!!!
Just got my Wedding Video back and I am blown away. I feel like i'm watching myself on a reality tv show. It's amazing. Totally worth the extra money we spent for the video! Our DJ was amazing too! - KM
Hi Jan -
I wanted to let you know that we are extremely pleased with how the
music turned out at our wedding reception - we received several
compliments regarding Ryan both during and after the reception. We
can't thank you and him enough!
Thank you again,
Katie and Orin
And for the video: i have not seen it yet, however, he was not in the way at all. I know i saw him there, but my family asked me did you have a videographer, i said yes he was there. and they didn't even know it.
I would highly recommended your company for weddings. If i knew anyone else getting married i would push for them to use you. well not really push, b/c they can choose who they want.but i would tell them how happy i was.
Thank you again for everything.

Dear Jan,
Joe was great! He was very professional and dependable with a good sense of humor. He did a great job keeping our garter ceremony really fun but PG. We love that he participated in dances like the cupid shuffle so all of our guests could follow. He was also great about helping us along our timeline. All of our guest keep telling us it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding!
Thank you very much for making our day that much more enjoyable.
Corinn + Eric Soro
Hi Jan, Ryan called yesterday and said that Dave had composed a "trailer" of Nicole's wedding for your website and did they have my permission to put it on. Of courrse I said yes. Please pass onto Dave that it is absolutely beautiful. Have watched it many times and I think I cried more watching the video and I did at the wedding. In church we could not see Nicole and Travis' faces because the miniter was standing in front of them. What Dave was able to capture was precious. Cannot wait to see the completed video. I sent the link to family and friends and they were amazed and said how beautiful Nicole looked and that she looked like Cinderella! Thank you all again so much.

Phenomenon Sound- I am a little bit computer illiterate so bare with me as I have to type everything. I would rate Eric 4's straight across the board!!! I would recommend him to everyone and you can certainly use my husband and myself for any references. I always say that the most important part of a wedding reception is the music and of course the drinks (lol!) but without a great DJ your reception is doomed! I have had so many people that attended our wedding stress that they had so much fun dancing (great picks!) and they were thrilled with the variety of different music played! Everything was done in an orderly fashion, and extremely professional as well. My husband and I are very pleased with everything that Eric had to offer- he had a great personality and he really knows how to get the party started! The dance floor was jam packed all night long!! We do genuinely appreciate everything that has been done for us- our day was more perfect than we could have ever dreamed it to be-thanks to you!
Thanks again,
Carrie and Brian Clark

Lorraine Probst (10/23) - I cannot say enough about the professionalism of your company. Highly efficient. From a business standpoint, the terms were clear. I was impressed to get the information in writing via email. I was also impressed with the time you took to ask about our event, population and the care to inquire about the presentation of the DJ(attire) and music selection, appropriate to our population. Your DJ presented in a professional manner, set up his equipment in an expedient manner and related very well to our students. Finally, the price was reasonable. I can only rate the entire experience as Excellent and have shared my rating with my colleagues. We will have you guys back! Sincerely, Lorraine Probst
Todd Shaab (9/15) – Outstanding. What a great party, only to be enhanced by the DJs ability to supercharge the guests with awesome Music Picks! Thanks for everything. Everyone loved your work!
Margo Sciandra (9/23) – The DJ did an awesome Job!! He did exactly what we asked and made adjustments throughout the evening as needed! Great Job and thanks for making our night a hit!

Melissa Marado ( 8/5) – Thank you for everything! You MADE our day! We had the best time because of you. You were so professional and in control. We had no worries about the music or timeline, thank you for handling everything! We’ve had tons of wonderful compliments on the music & DJ and no one can beat your “Cha Cha Slide!” Loved the bubbles and Fog! We will highly recommend you to everyone! Thank you for making out day more perfect than we could have imagined!
Micah Jones (5/19) – Jan I am writing this to let you know that our DJ made it a night to remember. I have been told so many times that the DJ was awesome and I have been telling them that I would not think twice about going elsewhere you guys are amazing and you definitely made it a night to remember! To our DJ I can’t thank you enough for the AWESOME job you did with our wedding I will never forget it from the ceremony music to the last dance you were awesome, and my wife and I would like to thank you very much for making it a night to remember!
Lisa Figel (8/19) - Overall experience with Phenomenon Sound was great! We will recommend them to our friends and family, and well worth the money!
Thomas & Cherish Brennan – We had you DJ our wedding on June 9th and we just wanted to thank you for the great service. The DJ was great. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He got an A+++ from us! Right from the beginning he was wonderful. He traveled 2 hours to meet with us for a consultation and called a number of times to make sure everything was going fine and still as planned. That really put us at ease knowing he was putting that much effort into our wedding. He really made sure during the course of the night that everything was going fine. So once again we would like to give you and our DJ a sincere heartfelt thank you.
Kristen Klima (7/4) – I just wanted to note that our DJ was extremely friendly and accommodating for us. We really appreciated him throughout the night. He went well above and beyond all of our expectations!
Jillian Lee (5/24) – Our DJs did more than an excellent job May 24th. We were happy and our guests were happy. Everyone had a great time listening and dancing as well as singing to the music. He got the crowd going and there was no stopping them! A great thank you to them for all they did and making this a most memorable evening. Thank you Phenomenon Sound!
Jennifer Kilborn – Hi, I just wanted to write real quick now that everything has settled down somewhat. I just have to say our DJ was an amazing DJ!!!! It’s so nice to have a DJ that truly listens to your requests (“Must Play” and “Do not play”) lists. I have heard so many other couples say how their DJ played songs on their “do not play” list and this was my biggest fear! I had numerous “typical” wedding songs on my “do not play” list and he abided by it 100% which made me and my husband SOOOOO Happy!!! He really got into the announcements and seemed like he was having a good time (many DJ’s look bored and sick of their job…haha). I received many good comments about the DJ from people at the wedding and I would definitely recommend your company to others in the future! I think that the DJ is one of the most important aspects of your wedding and determines whether it will be a fun “dance” wedding or a boring wedding. He definitely made it an AWESOME time for everyone. Some people probably had too much fun! Haha. Thanks Again, Jennifer & Andrew
My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Phenomenon Sound and our DJ for making our wedding night entertaining and memorable. From the organized planning to the entertainment the night of, our guests definitely left our night wanting more. We will definitely recommend your services to anyone looking for a great DJ/entertainment. Although we thanked him at the end of the evening, please pass along another huge "Thank You" to our DJ for all that he did for us on our night. He definitely kept our guests dancing!!
