Sound In Motion Entertainment Group

We hired SIM to provide DJ, uplighting, and photo booth services at our wedding (venue = Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa) and they were outstanding! Nick was our DJ and made sure the flow of our evening went smoothly. Whenever he came to us to let us know what was coming up next (i.e. speeches, cake cutting, etc.) he never rushed us and gave us time to finish eating, chatting, and enjoying ourselves. The mood in the room throughout dinner service, speeches, and dancing were always spot-on visually (uplighting really helped with ambiance!) and musically, and he crafted his playlist carefully to match our requests. I don't think the dance floor was ever empty once the dance music started, and I received many, many compliments from my guests about how great the music was - all of these guests have very different music tastes too, so we were very pleased!

The photo booth services were also excellent! They designed a special printing strip with a Venetian mask to match our wedding theme and my guests went to town in the photo booth! They handed us the album at the end of the night and it was fun to be able to look through some pictures and messages from our guests that very night!

Over all, working with everyone at SIM was always a great experience - Shawn was always very helpful on the phone and made sure we understood pricing, services, and in general seemed to enjoy being part of the wedding planning process. Their client portal is super easy to use, and they collaborated expertly with my wedding venue and their staff to make sure my husband and I could enjoy our special night!

I had never hired a DJ before in my life, but found myself in the unusual and unfortunate situation of needing to hire one for my best friend's Celebration of Life.
Long story short, I am a forever customer of Sound in Motion and will never hire any other DJ in the Bay Area!
I worked directly with Shawn who was so incredibly patient and thorough in walking me through the whole process end-to-end. She understood completely what we were looking for in an event of this nature. She paired me with Andy, and his DJ skills and attention to detail were impeccable on the day of the event! He was so calm and patient even in the inevitable shifts and turbulence of a party with a lot going on!! He found the right times to play the songs that were on the must-play list, and did a great job in "feeling out the crowd" to find some other great hits that set the right tone for the event.

The rest of the team was equally fabulous and Shawn especially helped out when suddenly we needed to add in a photo booth as well as a slideshow into the event! (shoutout to the Photobooth and Slideshow ninjas!)

Despite the craziness that can happen in the weeks leading up to a big event (with lots of cooks in the kitchen), the team at Sound in Motion was consistently patient, observant and responsive throughout the entire process - from planning to execution. I couldn't be happier with my experience and I know that I owe it to Sound in Motion for making that day so very special for everyone who attended. Thank you !!

I could not say enough amazing things about our Sound in Motion DJ, Andrew. Our wedding was incredible, and so much of that is owed to him! EVERYONE loved the music, from our grandparents to our teenage cousins. I have never been to a party, let alone a wedding, where people danced the entire time. Andrew, however, effortlessly kept us all on the dance floor up until the very end.

I lost track of the number of people who told us that it was the best wedding music they had heard, and so much of that is because of Andrew. Truly, this man can transition between songs you would never think possible, and make it sound amazing (I think its the math genius brain of his).

On top of being an incredible DJ, Andrew is excellent to work with. As a same-sex couple with many nonbinary people in our party, we wanted to ensure that our DJ would be conscientious. Andrew was that and more. He is kind, respectful, professional, and a magician with music. If you are looking for a DJ, go with Andrew, you won't regret it.

We hired Sound in Motion for our wedding and are so glad we did! We first hired them for a 5/2020 wedding which was cancelled due to COVID. They were SO patient with us, so flexible, and so accommodating through multiple postponements and changes of venue and even city throughout the course of the pandemic. We finally got married at the Firehouse in Sacramento and the DJ Matthew did an awesome job!! They have a very organized planning process so they make sure they know what music to play (and just as importantly, to not play). Matthew did a fantastic job as our DJ. Everyone was out on the dance floor, including my parents and their friends (totally unexpected!). I didn't plan on dancing much at all (I hate dancing) but Matthew even had me out on the dance floor having a blast. 11/10 recommend Sound in Motion if you want an awesome, FUN event!

It was clear from our first meeting with DJ Courtney that he really cared about playing music at our wedding that would be meaningful to us and enhance the day. We really appreciate that he took the time to get to know us as a couple and hear what our priorities for the wedding were. We have family members who only speak Spanish and we were hoping that music and the dancing would be a major way to make the wedding feel inclusive for everyone. The day of our wedding DJ Courtney went above and beyond, bringing along a friend who played an amazing collection of reggaeton, merengue, and bachata. The two DJs alternated sets all night and the dance floor was packed from 8:30-11. Many of our friends said it was the best wedding dance floor they had ever been on and that was largely due to how amazing the DJs were. THANK YOU for making our wedding the best night of our lives through music.

We used their services for bistro lighting, DJ, photo booth, and videographer for our wedding. Everything turned out so great, and everyone was so professional and communicative! I cannot recommend them enough!

We hired Sound In Motion to provide a photo booth for our wedding and it was seriously one of the best decisions we made! From the moment we booked them, they were amazing. Communication was prompt, super friendly, and they were very accommodating. The photo booth was packed all night and our guests clearly had a blast. Our attendant, Adrienne, was incredibly friendly. She even handed us a custom scrapbook at the end of the night with notes and photos from the guests. Such a wonderful and personal touch!

We will definitely be recommending them to others. Thanks for making our wedding so fun and memorable! :)

This was for a full time DJ & photobooth! Both of which were amazing for our wedding. The DJ played an eclectic variety of music with us just giving eras and genres. The online information packets and fill in forms made it easy deciding what songs we wanted and needed to make our ceremony & reception so much fun! DJ Frank was so fun and a good MC while also made things go smoothly even with day of changes to the entire timeline of the wedding. The photobooth was unlimited and a huge hit with a scrap book & digital copies of everything at the end of the night that my new husband and I enjoyed going through!
Will definitely refer to them again in the future!

My now-husband and I hired Sound in Motion to provide music for our wedding and we couldn't have been more pleased. Andy Acker did a phenomenal job!! We were able to pick out the types of music we wanted and we had the ability to listen to different samples of music for before and after the ceremony in order to give us some ideas. Andy called us about a week before the wedding and went over our music selections and even made some recommendations. We felt very comfortable knowing that Andy had us covered for the ceremony and reception.

Our guests had a blast and there was continuous dancing! Andy paid attention to what types of music guests enjoyed and chose songs accordingly. He was super professional and a lot of fun to work with.

Logan MC'ed and DJ'ed our wedding. He was great about understanding our tastes, and SIM has a really thorough form that they use to get the music for each moment just right. We even passed along some custom cuts of songs for our first dance and father-daughter dance, and he handled everything flawlessly.

On the night of the event, he did a great job keeping people on the dance floor, and by the last song, our friends were calling him by name. Logan was a great asset-- definitely recommend!
