DJ Dean the SoundMan was amazing. He worked with us closely with his user-friendly App which describes all the steps clearly. This way we could choose all the songs we wanted at our wedding from the ceramony to the party. We loved his energy and the added value he gave to our special day. I would definitely hire him again for another event. Thank you for everything Dean!

If you're looking for someone who can read a crowd and play the perfect mix of music that gets everyone on the dance floor.....Dean is the guy! Great communication, professional, organized and thoughtful. There was so much going on at our wedding and my wife and I were going in all directions. Dean took us outside of the venue and told us to take a deep breath, he gave my wife his jacket and said take a breather for five minutes and I will come back and get you guys. (Perfect timing) This guy is pretty amazing. He simply gets it. Thanks Dean! 10/10...5 Stars all the way!

Dean did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding! Not only was he our DJ, but he was also our MC — and he did an incredible job on both fronts. He kept the night flowing smoothly, made all the important announcements, and brought great energy to the mic without ever overdoing it. As a DJ, he read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor alive with fun, engaging music all night long. One of the best parts was that he even played Russian music for our Russian-German family — they absolutely loved it, and it added such a personal touch to the evening. We couldn’t be happier and would 100% recommend The SoundMan to anyone planning a wedding or event. Super professional, flexible, and just an all-around great experience!

Hand down amazing! Dean joined us for the only downpour day in the Okanagan this summer and was so great about jumping on board to help re-gig plans to make it the best day for the bride and groom, despite the rain. Dean was engaging, helpful, fun and kept the party going. The guests loved him and the dance floor was packed all night long. Leading up to the day of, Dean was responsive and friendly. He was able to accommodate a last minute addition to the timeline - a surprise dance for the couple - without issue. His app was easy to use. I would highly recommend The Soundman DJ Services and hope to work with him again in the future!

Dean the soundman was an absolute treat to have DJ our wedding. He played all the songs we requested and was on time with all the queues! He joined in on the mic and made some jokes too which got the crowd laughing. He played any song he requested and even took pictures for us! I highly recommend using him for any event you are having! Thanks for the fun times and the laughs.

Dean (The Soundman) is awesome! I’ve been lucky enough to attend an event DJ’d by him and he made the night infinitely better! I can not recommend him enough. He really cares about the experience of attendees and creates a memorable experience.
