Jan was great!

Jan was great! He spent time with us talking through how everything would work and what we pictured for our wedding day. We had a great time and he was great to work with!

So easy to work with, great music, and so many compliments

Jan was such a great addition to our wedding day. Not only was he so professional from early stages of conversation up to the set up he brought to the venue, but he was so good at reading the crowd and picking all the right songs. As the bride, I don't think I left the dance floor once the whole night. We also had some pretty specific requests in terms of fades outs and special timing for some of our more formal dances (first dance and father of the bride) and he executed it perfectly.

I could rave about Jan for a while but the last one I will mention is that we got SO many compliments on the DJ from our guests and even the venue. Everybody loved his transitions between songs, and just the song choices in general. The venue noted that everyone in the kitchen was dancing and I noticed some of the bartenders busting some moves as well! All in all, Jan was great to work with, and he contributed so much to keep the vibes high at our wedding!

Jan and CaptivSounds were reliable and awesome

We hired CaptivSounds to DJ our wedding and Jan was phenomenal. He was so helpful and easy to deal with the entire time leading up to the big day and he seriously delivered for the wedding -- the dance floor was never empty! Our venue and wedding had a few different spots we wanted to do things - from the ceremony outside to dinner in the basement to cocktails/party/dancing on the main floor - and Jan didn't skip a beat. He was prepared and we really, really appreciated having him do our wedding. I would recommend CaptivSounds to anyone planning a wedding or any other event with the need of a DJ.

DJ Services

Jan was so incredible! From the beginning of working with him to the very end he was attentive, flexible, organized and always made sure we knew his primary goal was to help make our day exactly what we hoped for! He was extremely easy going about our music preferences and we felt so relaxed going into our wedding knowing he had everything under control. Thanks to Jan everything flowed so smoothly, and our primary hope - which was a bumping dance floor - was very much achieved! Everyone was raving about his DJ skills! We will always be grateful to have chosen a great person like him!

Perfection from Start to Finish

My partner and I found Jan from CaptivSounds online, and after our first conversation with him we knew he'd be the perfect fit.

He was extremely accommodating and well prepared. He had a helpful questionnaire that allowed us to customize our day from start to finish. Beginning with our ceremony music, to cocktail hour, grand entrances, first dances and the party that followed - everything turned out as we hoped, planned and asked for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jan and CaptivSounds for your wedding!

Thanks again for making our day perfect!

Excellent DJ

Jan was an excellent DJ. He was very responsive and flexible. He was able to accommodate our requests. Throughout the whole event, I didn't have to worry about the music because I knew it was in good hands. It was a great party and the dance floor always had a lot of people on it. Would highly recommend Captiv Sounds.

Great experience

We had been to several events with Jan DJing (where my time in particular was spent mostly on the dance floor) and knew he would be a great choice for our day. We weren’t sure if dancing would be allowed, but knew we would be in great hands with Jan managing our ceremony sound, and background music during our short cocktail style reception. We appreciated Jan’s planning process, which kept us on track, ensuring we had chosen music in plenty of time. He also had great suggestions for songs for each element of the day when we would come up drawing blanks. He was happy to go ahead with our somewhat unorthodox dinner music choices and created the exact vibe we were going for – laid back drinks on a patio sort of atmosphere. He was able to source a first dance cover song that we could only find on YouTube, and it sounded great on the night of. We also appreciated his emceeing skills, which was great as it alleviated any of our guests from having to take on that potentially stressful role. It turned out we could dance, and Jan did a great job as expected. It was the perfect evening. Thank you Jan!

Perfect wedding day

Jan of Captiv Sounds was amazing as our DJ for our wedding. I had booked Jan pretty early on in our wedding planning process, and with covid I had booked Jan with more than a year until the wedding. He was always open for communication and responsiveness was great. I had a very specific vision for my ceremony music, with timing walking and the music and Jan executed it perfectly! My husband and I aren’t big into dancing or partying, so we put our trust into Jan to create the reception/dancing playlist and it was perfect. With covid, we only had a small number of people but Jan kept the party going the whole night.

Wonderful wedding DJ!

Jan was an absolute pleasure to have as our DJ. From the beginning, his organization, passion, and affordability really stood out to us. Given that our wedding was during the pandemic, we were unable to have a dance floor, so we had to improvise a lot of activities that we could do, and a lot of the responsibility for running these activities ultimately fell on our DJ- including karaoke, and music bingo. Jan did such a great job leading all of these activities, and all of our guests commented on how much fun they had at our wedding in spite of there being no dancing. Jan also kept the amazing soundtrack playing throughout the evening to keep everyone entertained. Don’t let Jan’s soft-spoken nature fool you- he is an amazing DJ and great with all things entertainment! He even came to our rescue in helping us set up our flameless sparklers, despite these not being part of his set-up. And we were also able to rent out a stunning fog machine from him for our first dance as well, which he executed perfectly. I would highly recommend Jan as a DJ for any wedding!
