You deal with one company and one plan. We set up and sound-check before your first guest arrives, and the same team runs the music, the program and the photos.

DJ and MC

Music for networking, dinner and dancing, an MC for your program, and custom song edits when a moment needs one.

Stage audio and mics

Pro sound for a keynote speaker, a wireless mic for key speakers, extra mics, and custom introductions as each speaker takes the stage.

Screens and projection

Projectors, TVs and other displays for your logo, slides or a video.

Lighting

Lighting designed for your room, your stage and the dance floor, plus wireless uplighting in your company colors.

Questions planners ask

What does a corporate event DJ from SoundWave include?

A professional DJ and MC, first-rate sound, a massive music collection, a wireless microphone for key speakers and non-stop music through your event. You can add extra microphones, custom introductions, custom song edits, video projection, lighting design, uplighting, a photographer or a photo booth with your logo.

Do you play company holiday parties?

Yes. We have played holiday parties for local companies with a DJ and MC, lighting, photo booths, live photography, video projection and sound for speeches. Book one piece or the whole night.

Can you run our speeches and awards?

Yes. Your DJ also MCs your program, with stage audio for a keynote speaker, a wireless mic for key speakers, extra microphones when more people take the stage, and custom introductions for each speaker.

Can you put our logo, slides or videos on screen?

Yes. We bring video projection and other displays, including projectors and TVs, so your logo, slides or videos are on screen when you need them.

Can the photo booth carry our branding?

Yes. Our booths come with custom photo templates and a custom start screen, so your logo and event name are on screen and on the photos. Guests share by text, email or social, and you get every photo and video digitally after the event.

What do you need from us to give a quote?

Your date, your venue, about how many people are coming, and what you need: music, an MC, sound for speakers, screens, lighting, photos or a photo booth. Tell us about any branding you want on screen or on the photo booth.

How much does a corporate event DJ cost?

Every corporate event is different, so we quote each one. Tell us your date, your venue, your headcount and what you need, and we send you options built around your event.

Can we meet before we hire a DJ?

Yes. Talk it through by phone, Zoom or in person before you book.

Where do you play?

Across Buffalo, Rochester and Western New York, from our office on Grand Island. A travel fee applies only to events 20 miles or more from the office, and your quote shows it.
