What couples have to say.

Five-star experiences shared by couples on WeddingWire and The Knot.

“Steve was awesome! He’s a great emcee and DJ. Our dance floor stayed full all night and everyone had a blast! We also did a fun thing where we stayed on the dance floor and every table came up to take a picture with us. Steve made it so fun and like a challenge to have it done within one song. It was such a cool experience! We 10/10 recommend him for any event. Thanks again Steve!”
Mara B · The Knot · 11/26/2024 / Richard · WeddingWire · 11/26/2024
“Steve was amazing! He accommodated all of our requests (even some last minute changes day of), brought all of his own equipment (microphone, booth, lights, speakers, etc) and worked very well communicating with our coordinator! We used him for our ceremony and our reception - everyone could clearly hear our officiant and all of our guests knew exactly what was going on at every moment- he kept everyone informed throughout the evening! Price was so affordable and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a wedding DJ!!”
Kayla S · The Knot · 6/24/2023

Steve was so easy to work with and is an awesome DJ. He was able to work with our requests and include all of the music we wanted to hear! The DJ set up was aesthetically pleasing and super cool! Would recommend First Coast Sound to anyone!”

whitney p · The Knot · 4/07/2022
“You know how people say a DJ can make or break a reception or party? They aren’t wrong, but thankfully Steve with FCS nailed it!!! He delivered an amazingly fun reception that had people up and dancing. Steve was professional, patient, and proficient! I told him what I wanted and what I didn’t want and he gave me everything I wanted! He understood what I wanted to accomplish, how I wanted things to go and he executed it beautifully! He did additional up-lighting and it truly set the ambiance that I wanted to achieve. He played everything I wanted and nothing I didn’t- which was a huge thing to me! I really can’t say enough positive things about Steve but I can tell you, you will not regret hiring him! Absolutely fabulous! I am a very very very happy bride! Thank you for making my reception exactly what I wanted it to be!”
Alyce C · The Knot · 11/16/2021 / Jeanine · WeddingWire · 11/16/2021
“DJ Danny was great! He played all our requests, which were many, and kept the party going! The dancing never stopped! Throughout the whole process, Steve responded quickly to all my questions, and made the entire experience easy.”
Jennifer G · The Knot · 11/06/2021 / Jennifer · WeddingWire · 11/06/2021
“Steve was amazing to work with! He was super friendly, can be as involved or uninvolved as you want (we didn’t want a hype man for a dj), his live guitar was incredible, all of our guests enjoyed it. He was great at customizing all of our music requests and adapting on the fly. 10/10 would recommend!”
Nicole M · The Knot · 10/05/2021
“Steve is absolutely incredible! He's definitely the type of person you just connect and feel comfortable with from the moment you start the conversation with him. He did an amazing job in our wedding and worked through the rain (outdoor wedding) like a champ. He played all the songs we asked for and our guests were so happy with his knowledge of music when they requested songs. Thanks for helping make our wedding the best party ever!”
Alaina W · The Knot · 2/15/2021
“Our daughters wedding was executed perfectly thanks to Steve from First Coast Sound. From start to finish we always felt confident that the day was in good hands. Steve was very informative during our planning process, was always patient with our choices of songs and when to play them and the monogram he created for the reception/dancing portion was absolutely beautiful! He seriously did everything perfectly and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!!!! If you need a perfect DJ to have an amazing wedding I would recommend Steve 10000%. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!”
Lisa E · The Knot · 12/07/2020
“Steve was incredible from the moment we first reached out to him. We were a little late to the game in selecting vendors, as we were not sure if we would have to postpone again (we had already postponed once due to Covid) and were afraid to plan too much too soon. From our first conversation, we knew we were in good hands as Steve took a genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple and did not bat an eye at our fast-approaching wedding date. His attention to detail meant that we got to select the perfect song for every moment and nothing went overlooked. On top of the special songs that we selected, he also took to heart the kinds of music we like to listen to and played the most incredible playlist for dancing at our reception (and gladly took requests!). His setup was awesome, too, and looked great in the reception hall. We did not get to meet until the actual wedding (it was a destination wedding for us) and were blown away by his kind demeanor and utmost professionalism. Even our wedding coordinator said that he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I don't think I truly understood just how special the right music is to a wedding (I was just happy to have some music), but Steve really made our day extra special for us and I feel that all the stars aligned so that he could be a part of it.”
Madeleine S · The Knot · 11/03/2020 / Madeleine · WeddingWire · 11/03/2020
“Steve, you are amazing!! Thank you so much for a good time! I highly recommend First Coast Sound for any of your events. We had the beautiful sounds of his guitar at our ceremony and cocktail followed by his awesome dj skills at our reception. He was also able to dj last minute for me (after my prior entertainment cancelled) for my henna night! Steve was able to beautifully capture my Turkish culture and include it in the music!! Thank you again for being so flexible throughout Covid changes and for an amazing job!!”
Tulin B · The Knot · 9/29/2020
“First Coast Sound was amazing at my wedding! He kept people in the dance floor and was amazing at understanding our vision of our reception! I loved the monogram! Great in responding and answer questions as well!! I would suggest him to any bride!!”
Christine V · The Knot · 3/01/2020 / Christine · WeddingWire · 03/01/2020
“Steve was so great for our wedding! He got our guests on the dance floor and was an awesome MC! I had so much on my timeline as far as activities and he kept up with everything without any problems. If we renew our vows in the future, I'd hire him again and again :D”
anonymous u · The Knot · 1/24/2020
“First Coast Sound is great! We had so much fun dancing all night and Danny was such a great DJ. He played everything we love and the dance floor stayed full until the very end. Steve was very helpful and easy to work with when it came to helping us put together our playlist and timeline. Thanks for giving us the party of our dreams!”
Kim N · The Knot · 10/27/2019 / Kim N. · WeddingWire · 10/27/2019
“Steve was amazing! Extremely easy to work with, great communication, and kept the party going all night! Thank you Steve!”
Sydney C · The Knot · 10/02/2019
“Steve was awesome throughout this whole process. I was organized down to the minutes for what I wanted and Steve had everything printed out and ready to go. He made sure before he did anything like start speeches or cake cutting, to ask if we were ready for the next step which helped when we were running around the room talking to guests and not aware of the time. Steve must have read my mind throughout the night because he knew exactly what song to play at exactly the right time. He kept almost every one even people we never expected up dancing until the last minutes of the night which was exactly what we wanted. We also had a live musician and Steve worked so well with him and helping him set up above and beyond what he needed to. Please use First Coast Sound for your wedding if you want a stress-free night full of fun and dancing for hours!!!”
Lindsey P · The Knot · 9/17/2019
“Steve from first coast sound is fantastic. From communicating in the beginning, everything was extremely simple and straight forward. I am terrible at communicating and sent many items last second and they pulled through and accommodated every need we had needed for the big day. I simply gave him some songs I wanted through a Spotify playlist and I heard them sprinkled in all night and the reception party was an absolute blast. Great company and a great price. 5/5 stars”
Christian W · The Knot · 7/07/2019
“Wow! Our wedding reception was a blast and our guests had a great time because the music was perfect! Steve was not only super professional, but when it comes to music he really knows what people like. As soon as we cut the cake the dance floor was packed and stayed that way for the rest of the night. So many of our friends commented on how great the DJ was throughout the night. He also made the planning very simple and the planning worksheets made it easy for us to customize our playlist. I highly recommend First Coast Sound for everyone having a wedding!”
Amanda F · The Knot · 5/06/2019 / Amanda · WeddingWire · 05/06/2019
“I loved having Steve on our wedding day. He played the guitar during the ceremony and it was amazing! Also did a great job during cocktail hour and he was our DJ. He kept the partying going regardless of my persistent guests requesting songs! Anyone would be lucky to hire him for their special day!”
Dallas S · The Knot · 3/14/2019
“Steve was extremely professional and did an amazing job playing guitar for the ceremony, cocktail hour and DJ for the reception. He had three locations to set up and there were no issues with music. The dance floor was packed from first dance to last. We highly recommend First Coast Sound.”
Kristine S · The Knot · 1/12/2019
“We had such a great time at our reception! Steve played all of our favorite songs and took requests from our friends all night. I’ve never had to hire a DJ before and I was pretty nervous about being able to find one that fit our style. Steve was awesome! He was so nice to deal with and made a lot of great suggestions when planning everything. I definitely recommend that you hire First Coast Sound for your wedding and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!”
Beth M · The Knot · 11/18/2018 / Beth · WeddingWire · 11/18/2018
“First Coast Sound is a great DJ company! Steve the owner and main DJ is really talented at what he does and is super professional to work with. He helped us every step of the way to plan our playlist and introductions to make sure we had our dream reception. Everyone had a great time and I highly recommend booking them for your wedding!”
Becky H · The Knot · 11/11/2018 / Becky · WeddingWire · 11/11/2018
“Steve was awesome! To start, his communication prior to the wedding is something I was amazed by. He replies to emails faster than anyone I know. Upon arrival, he was so nice and the music was on point. My family was crazy and he was so nice to all of us. Whether is was my dad grabbing the mic and having his own private mic or me totally blowing the schedule I gave him, he went with it with a smile! Seriously, if you're looking for a wedding DJ, hire this guy!”
Cathaleen C · The Knot · 9/26/2018 / Cathaleen · WeddingWire · 09/27/2018
“First Coast Sound did an awesome job at our wedding and was a pleasure to work with! Steve made it so easy for us to plan our music for every moment and had so many great suggestions when we needed help. On the big day he was there early and was completely setup for everything 2 hours before the ceremony started. The ceremony was perfect. Exactly what I imagined in my head! For the reception the music sounded awesome, the lighting and monogram looked fantastic, and he was a real pro at all of the MC stuff. We had so much fun and all of our friends and family had a blast! Thanks for an amazing wedding day First Coast Sound!”
Karen N · The Knot · 9/09/2018 / Karen · WeddingWire · 09/09/2018
“First Coast Sound was a really great choice for our wedding! We were looking for a really cool DJ that fit with our style and we both knew Steve was the one after meeting him. Even though we didn’t know him it felt like we had one of our good friends DJing the wedding. His choice of songs were exactly what kind of songs we love and he was very professional as an MC as well. I could tell how much fun everyone was having and it seemed like he had the dance floor full all night long. Excellent job!”
Amy S · The Knot · 8/26/2018 / Amy · WeddingWire · 08/26/2018
“We are really happy with our choice in booking First Coast Sound for our wedding! Steve was a pleasure to work with and was very professional in every way. Our ceremony was just perfect and the reception was absolutely awesome! He had everyone dancing and kept the dance floor full until the last song. He played all of the songs we asked for and the songs he chose were great. So many of our friends were commenting on how great the reception was and how much fun they had. Truly a great choice!”
Sarah R · The Knot · 8/12/2018 / Sarah · WeddingWire · 08/12/2018
“Very happy with our decision to go with First Coast Sound! Steve is an absolute expert DJ with a great knowledge of all styles of music. The songs he played during the reception was a mixture of wedding and top 40 classics and songs that everyone loves but only someone with his expertise would think to play. I’ve heard a lot of DJs and I always can tell the good ones. Steve is definitely one of the best! He is also very professional and friendly to work with. No matter how much we bothered him about planning our wedding music he was always helpful and easy going. I definitely recommend hiring First Coast Sound to handle your wedding party!”
Kimberly W · The Knot · 8/05/2018 / Kimberly · WeddingWire · 08/05/2018
“Steve was the perfect DJ for our wedding! When we we’re looking for a DJ for our wedding we talked to several DJs and didn’t feel like any of them were a good fit for our style. When I called First Coast Sound and spoke with Steve he really made me feel like he had a totally different approach than the others. I’ve been to many weddings where the DJ was a little too corny and sometimes cringe worthy even. The reception was amazing and he had everyone dancing by just playing great songs non stop without any of the awkwardness I’ve experienced at other weddings. If you want a modern DJ who really knows what your party needs to be successful I highly recommend First Coast Sound!”
Stephanie J · The Knot · 7/15/2018 / Stephanie · WeddingWire · 07/01/2018
“First, let me just talk about how amazing Steve and his wife at First Coast Sound are. Within minutes, Steve responded to my request with a phone call and tons of information about himself and his company. He even sent over a song list that ranged from traditional songs for different parts of the ceremony/reception all the way to eclectic which I really appreciated since I am pretty clueless about music sometimes. Steve was great throughout the process leading up to the wedding, answering any question I had and even meeting with me once before since I was afraid I wouldn’t actually get to thank him in person (out of town/destination bride). Lastly, my entire wedding basically went completely wrong and had to be changed so last minute and Steve and his wife were absolute champs, being so helpful with my day-of coordinator and keeping everything going smoothly! Steve picked great music, my guests were entertained and everyone said his set up was really amazing. I 100% recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a great DJ!”
Caroline G · The Knot · 6/21/2018 / Caroline · WeddingWire · 06/21/2018
“Steve with First Coast Sound was a really wonderful choice to DJ our wedding reception. While discussing pricing and details, he mentioned he also offers live guitar performances, which ended up making our wedding ceremony SO special! Steve was incredibly laid-back, but professional and timely, in all our communications, which helped my wife and I feel at ease with the music selection process. Steve even offered to learn some new songs on the guitar for the ceremony. Steve's pricing is very competitive and he has all the equipment you need for any size ceremony or reception. Our reception went by like a complete blur (as I'm sure everyone has experienced), but all our guests said the music and atmosphere on the dance floor was awesome and everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time the entire night. Thank you, Steve, for making the entire process so easy and stress-free!”
Erin E · The Knot · 6/02/2018 / Joshua · WeddingWire · 06/28/2018
“I’m so grateful to First Coast Sound for making my wedding perfect! The DJ really got the party going when people were hesitant to start dancing at first. He knew exactly what to play to get everyone up and was very friendly and professional with everyone. I can't recommend and thank them enough.”
Erica G · The Knot · 3/07/2018
“We love First Coast Sound! They kept the music going all night and played the perfect songs for every moment. Planning the music for the ceremony and reception was so easy with them because they thought about everything and made a lot of good suggestions that I hadn't thought of. The ceremony was beautiful and even though it was very windy everyone could hear everything perfectly . The party was fantastic. The DJ controlled the flow of the night perfectly and had everyone dancing together the whole time.”
Aubree C · The Knot · 2/28/2018
“We had an awesome wedding reception thanks to First Coast Sound. They were really helpful with planning the music for every moment and gave us a lot of great suggestions. We were really impressed with how professional they were with all of the introductions and how they got everyone dancing by playing the right songs. I highly recommend you hire them for your wedding and you won’t be disappointed.”
Jen L · The Knot · 2/25/2018
“First Coast sound was AMAZING! They were so nice to work with and made me feel like I made the right choice as soon as we met. The dance floor stayed full all night and all of my guest loved them. I promise you will be glad you hired them for your wedding!”
Sarah G · The Knot · 2/15/2018
“Steve at First Coast Sound was amazing! From setting everything up to the day off - he was fantastic! We loved his vibe and he made all of our guests dance their hearts out! 10/10 would recommend working with Steve - he made our night one to remember!”
Kasia · WeddingWire · 04/14/2022
“We really appreciated Steve’s approach of reading the room and being flexible with the music! The music and speeches and vows went off without a hitch. The day before, we even had a change as to who was giving toasts AND some of the music that the wedding party was entering to, but Steve rolled with it! The music during dinner was definitely our vibe, and the reception music kept people dancing! Mr. Brightside followed by YMCA followed by the Weeknd were weirdly perfect choices to get the ENTIRE group (older family too!) dancing and having fun and then leaving the floor for our private dance. First Coast was very affordable, especially with the photobooth and our discount from working with a coordinator from the Wedding Authority. We loved them!”
Tuong-Vi · WeddingWire · 05/16/2023
“Steve was fantastic and so easy to work with. During our first conversation prior to booking him, Steve was incredibly patient and genuinely got to know our interest in music so he could tailor the music towards our taste in music. Steve took into consideration that my husband gets easily overstimulated and helped us pick a package that fit our needs. He made both of us feel so comfortable that we had zero worries related to music on our wedding day. The music on our wedding day was perfect from start to finish. I worried whether or not a lot of guests would be dancing, however, the dance floor was full up until the last song! If you are on the fence about finding a DJ, do yourself a favor and book First Coast Sound, you won't be disappointed!”
Alissa · WeddingWire · 01/23/2023
“They are so great and super flexible. Steve, even worked with my Aunt/Officiant to add a recording into my ceremony from my Uncle who had passed away i was blown away by this surpise. He was made my night magical and was super flexible even when we moved around our special event (a Light Saber Duel) because my nephew was being a kid. 1000% would recommend.”
Katherine · WeddingWire · 06/19/2022
“They played what we wanted, took request. Provided the lighting and extra features such as photobooth which our guests definitely took full advantage. They provide the ceremony music, mics and and kept the dance floor full throughout the night would definitely recommend.”
Vladimir · WeddingWire · 03/20/2022
“From the first phone call conversation with Steve I knew it was going to be the best night! He was so laid back but also very serious about his business! He listened and made it so easy to know exactly what I wanted and how to make sure he had everything he needed! Wish I could do it all over again and hire him again! Best night and DJ ever!!!”
Taylor · WeddingWire · 03/08/2022
“Steve played the guitar for my ceremony and cocktail hour, and then was the DJ for the reception! I got so many compliments about the music!”
Jessica · WeddingWire · 02/01/2022
“I would recommend Steve with FCS to anyone. The balance of professionalism and fun was perfect for our event. I fully trusted him to execute on the big day and knew he would kill it and he did. The dance floor was never empty (not even close) and the party didn't stop! Seriously, thank you FCS!”
Kyle · WeddingWire · 06/03/2021
“Steve was exactly what we were looking for at our wedding. Even on our first conversation regarding services I felt connected to him immediately and knew he would be the DJ for us. He was professional and kept everything low stress. We had literally nothing to worry about. He followed our song requests perfectly and impressed our guests with his knowledge of music. Thank you First Coast Sound for helping make our wedding the best party we've ever had!”
Alaina · WeddingWire · 02/15/2021
“We found First Coast Sound on Wedding Wire when searching for a quality DJ at an affordable price. First Coast Sound has excellent reviews, and those are absolutely accurate. We met with Steve about 6 months before the wedding, and were sold within 30 minutes. Steve was absolutely accommodating and allowed us to customize the entire song list and stuck to our requests / style. He even provided last minute assistance with lighting for our pastor, and elegant uplighting using our wedding colors. Steve was absolutely PHENOMENAL, and we would recommend him for every wedding or event. He's super nice and attentive, which allowed our wedding day to be stress free. If you do not choose First Coast Sound, you are definitely missing out. Thank you, Steve!”
Austin · WeddingWire · 07/21/2020
“Our DJ, Genius Entertainment, bailed on us less than a month before the wedding. We had already paid in full and had booked with them almost a year and a half out to secure our spot. They informed us they were sorry, but couldn't find a replacement, and refunded us with no explanations and a few sketchy suggestions for other guys (all of whom were booked). We panicked and went to our wedding planner, who immediately began shopping for a new DJ. Lo and behold, somehow she found First Coast, and Steve saved the day. He agreed to do it for almost the same price as Genius, despite the short notice, and drove all the way from Jacksonville to help us. Despite having never worked that specific venue before, he was very thorough, sending us all of these questionnaires and song suggestions so he could really be prepared, and even at the wedding itself, he confirmed all announcements with me before making them, which I appreciated. He read the room, anticipating when to change songs, how long to play them, what vibe to go with. He didn't have an easy task - our venue had 3 separate rooms he needed to maneuver - but Steve made it happen with a can-do attitude and enthusiasm that had even the old timers bopping along on the dance floor. He chose music that EVERYONE could dance to, and his smile was infectious. He even wished my mother a happy birthday! I could not recommend Steve highly enough - if you want a class act, this hero deserves your business.”
Sasha · WeddingWire · 11/04/2019
“Steve did an amazing job DJing our wedding! He had a whole list with options for songs an a worksheet for every event of the wedding. He was very responsive with emails of any questions we had. We had specific songs we wanted for the ceremony and Steve had the exact ones we wanted! During the reception he played all the songs I wanted him to play since I put a request line on my RSVPS. When people requested a song he played it instantly! We danced all night and loved all the songs he played!”
Samantha · WeddingWire · 05/07/2019
“We had a great experience with First Coast Sound as our wedding entertainment! Steve and Silvia were so nice and professional to work with. We aren’t big music people so we left it up to them to choose all of the music. They played great songs and knew exactly what to play to get everyone dancing! I have to say that I was also really impressed with how professional their setup looked with all of their lights and the DJ booth. I don’t think you can go wrong with hiring First Coast Sound to DJ your wedding and I’m sure you will be just as happy with their service as we were!”
Christina · WeddingWire · 07/29/2018
“This is an excellent DJ company! My wedding reception was absolutely fantastic thanks to Steve! He was so laidback and helpful with the booking process. That meant a lot to me because I was so stressed out trying to organize everything and he really made planning the music so easy. I got a lot of compliments from everyone about the music and how professional the DJ was. I was really looking for a modern DJ that would play great music and get everyone dancing without being cheesy or old fashioned and First Coast Sound was the perfect choice! Thanks Steve!”
Alina · WeddingWire · 07/25/2018
“Thanks Steve for a truly memorable day! I’m so happy with our decision to hire First Coast Sound for wedding. Steve was super informative and accommodating while helping us plan our ceremony and reception. On the day of the wedding he was one of the first venders to arrive and he was setup and ready to go an hour before the guest started to arrive. One of the most impressive things about his service was how organized and involved he was with directing the flow of each moment with our coordinator. The music was so much fun and everyone had a blast. Every song he played made us want dance non stop. It really was everything I hoped for and I’m so glad we chose First Coast Sound!”
Mary · WeddingWire · 07/22/2018
“First Coast Sound did a fantastic job with our wedding! Steve was so easy to work with and was very helpful with the planning. The music for the ceremony was exactly how I imagined and the reception was definitely a hit! Steve’s setup was very professional looking and the lighting looked awesome. We had so much fun dancing with all of our friends and family and the songs he chose kept everyone on the dance floor all night. In highly recommend First Coast Sound and wish that I could give them more than 5 stars!”
Laura · WeddingWire · 07/18/2018
“Steve did an amazing job! Our wedding reception was everything we hoped it would be. We got so many compliments from our guest about how great the music was and how much fun they had. When I sent my initial message to First Coast Sound I got a response right away. As we were planning the music with Steve he was so helpful informative. This was my first experience hiring a DJ and I’m really glad that I ended up booking First Coast Sound! I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ!”
Tiffany · WeddingWire · 07/15/2018
“I’m so happy I decided to go with First Coast Sound for our wedding! Steve and Silvia are genuinely wonderful people and seemed to really care about making sure everything was just how we wanted it. Our guest are still talking about how awesome the music was at the wedding and how much fun they had. When I first spoke with Steve I felt so comfortable compared to the other DJs I called first. He was so easy going and had a lot of good suggestions that helped us figure out what we were doing. They also have a very clean and professional looking setup and the music sounded awesome. They’re so great!”
