"We were very
happy with "Especially
for a short notice, everything was
perfect! (I was
contacted 2 weeks prior to the wedding
when the original DJ "canceled" at the last
moment)
I would recommend "Abound With Sounds"
to others because of your
professionalism, selection of music,
filling of requests, and quality of your
sounds system". "Everything went
smooth--I was asked what I wanted
(choices before the wedding) as well as
given suggestions & recommendations. I
would absolutely recommend "Abound With
Sounds" to others. "Thank you, Rick and
Dan, for a great job. The whole day
could not have been any
better!"
"Your
professionialsm, selection of music,
filling of requests, quality of sound
system, and stage lighting were all
excellent!" "One thing I
REALLY appreciated was that you
weren't there as a "star" -- meaning you didn't
spend a lot of air time talking. You simply
played a terrific mix of music. I also liked
how you sized up the audience and played music
that kept them dancing all night. Thank you for
everything -- it was a really good experience
working with you!" Kim's Phone (work only)

everything that, in no way, do I think your
services could've been improved! I chose
"Abound with Sounds" over the internet, sight
unseen, and was amazed and overwhelmingly happy
with my choice. Thanks so much for being a big part
of making our daughters' special day all that
we had hoped for". Alicia's (mother) Phone: 603-744-8384 "I

great, and helpful during the entire day, we
can't think of anything major that could have
been improved. Although we were a bit
disorganized on the day of the wedding, you
both were very patient and calm with us, as
well as helpful! :) We were very pleased
that we could hire a "jack of all
trades" - you performed our ceremony,
master of ceremonies, and disc jockeyed our
dance. This is very appealing to people with a
busy lifestyle to be able to plan everything
with the same person, rather than three
separate people. We are very happy with your
performance and would highly recommend "Abound

know who is looking for these types of

Prior to the Reunion, we informed Rick of some specialty theme songs that were important to us as a group in High School and provided Rick with four lists of the "top 10" songs for each year we were in hih school. To our delight, without being asked, Rick located ALL the songs (not just a sample) on ALL the lists, and played a selection throughout dinner and the evening.
Nice touch!
