Hi Colin & Lisa: I & everyone at the West Van SPCA Committee extend our hand because your company demonstrated superior customer service even though you were not able to directly supply your services due to previous commitments.

On a personal note, when I heard that you called back to the shelter to make sure I was making progress regarding our sound system issue, I knew that I was dealing with an exceptional person that leads an exceptional organization. Also, I want to let you know one of the main reasons I chose to call your organization was the fact you actually had taken the time to articulate your Mission Statement and Company Culture.

I hope I am not rambling on ad nosium. However, my background has for the last 20 years been in direct sales with mostly high technology companies. Most of which I have found to be unworthy of the basic business precepts, such as, providing exceptional / sometimes unique value, solving problems for the customer and "raising the bar" in customer satisfaction.

Well let me tell you, you demonstrated all these qualities and we were not Even a customer!

I find this extremely rare.

Therefore, I would be more than welcome to extend a recommendation on your "Client Comments" web page if you like. It would be kind of interesting to add our recommendation when we were not even a customer.
Kevin Fetherstonhaugh, Committee Team Captain,
Paws for a Cause, West Vancouver SPCA, BC 2006

"We were extremely pleased with your service, the music that you played, and your professional style. You were very accommodating of our music requests and tastes, which made the evening great for us. The variety of music that you chose was appropriate for a broad age range of guests. Guests from age 6 to 70 were up on the dance floor all evening. We had many comments from our guests about the great music. We are very impressed and will recommend you anytime. Thanks for helping to make our wedding celebration wonderful. It was great meeting you and doing business with you."
L. Strong & J. Kiem Wedding, Vancouver, BC 2006

"Hi Colin, I wanted to thank you very much for all you did on our wedding day. It was Amazing and everyone had a wonderful time and the music was great! I really appreciate all your hard work, and even the impromptu MC'ing Of the evening. Thank you for that. You did a phenomenal job not knowing certain things and not having heard much from myself, except for a week Prior. I do realize that was somewhat of a challenge and I wanted to express our gratitude for everything. I got the CD of pictures from my mom, and I want to thank you for doing that, that was amazing of you and very unexpected!! They're great!

Thank you once again for everything. Please let me know if I can ever refer Your services or speak to the level of service you provide. It was awesome!!"
M. Shaw, Wedding, White Rock, BC 2006

"We felt completely at ease on our wedding day knowing that if something was to go awry, Colin would step in and control the situation allowing us to enjoy our day. The presentation of Sound Explosion Entertainment was superb including our DJ who not only wore a suit but it was a nice suit which we felt was a sign of respect to us on our special day. We got a prompt reply whenever we made contact and felt the whole experience with Sound Explosion Entertainment to be both a quality and professional service. When we requested a meeting with our DJ before committing to the company, Colin was happy to oblige by coming to our house to introduce himself and answer any questions we had. Colin was respectful and considerate with our requests and we would recommend Sound Explosion Entertainment to entertain at any event."
J & K Bown, Wedding, Burnaby, BC 2006

"Your constant attention to detail as well as your sensitivity to all the issues at hand put us completely at ease.

So many of our guests went on about how positively enjoyable the night was because of the great music!! Sound Explosion Entertainment really made our wedding a success. Thanks."

I appreciated your professionalism; your easy-going and friendly manner (yet always on top of things); your accessibility; your adaptability; your willingness to help during the wedding where you saw a need (ie directing the photographer to the conference manager to ensure he could get down the mountain to meet the bride); your efforts to provide for diverse musical requests; to name a few things! Christiane and I were very pleased with your help and the significant contributions you made to a wonderful evening for the two of us! Best Regards."
P & C Kilpatrick, Wedding, North Vancouver, BC 2006

"It was a pleasure working with you and Sarah, also - you helped make our party a success. From the first song you played, people were up on the dance floor having fun, and it stayed that way throughout the evening. I believe that was a reflection of the good rapport and interaction you had with the crowd. The music selection was well suited for our “older” age group, and I think there was a great energy in the room that evening. Thanks again for a job well done!"

J & K Kondra, Wedding 2007

"My Fiancée and I were quite concerned when we were recruiting and researching DJ’s for our wedding-obviously this is a big day and the DJ has a significant impact on the atmosphere and overall enjoyment of the reception. During our research we were lucky enough to come across Colin and Sound Explosion Entertainment and, in hindsight, even luckier that we decided to select them as our Music and DJ service provider! Colin is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable and his insight
throughout the pre-Wedding planning was especially valuable (in numerous areas and not restricted to just music and DJ services!). At the reception, Colin and his assistant were absolutely fabulous not only in providing exemplary DJ services, but helping in all aspects to ensure an issue-free and reception to remember!"
C & S Hansen Wedding, Vancouver, 2007

"The reception was a hit with us and all of our guests. Everyone is still having a giggle over our Fat Boy Slim recessional, "I See You Baby". Classic! You kept the day light and fun, just like us! I will be enthusiastic in my referrals to Sound Explosion Entertainment! We look back on our wedding day and are amazed and ecstatic at how perfect it was. Your energy and professionalism allowed us to relax and know our party was in competent hands. Colin, you totally delivered! Thank you so very much,"
Melanie and Matt, Wedding, Vancouver, 2007

"Thank you so much for doing such an amazing job for us. You knew exactly how to read a crowd; if you could please my 86 year old Great Aunt and my 14 year old Nephew, you obviously did something right! Most of all, we want to thank you for your flexibility & professionalism. You always made us feel secure & confident in you and your services and for that we are truly thankful. We will not hesitate to call you again and recommend you to our friends. Thank you."

T & S Ip, Vancouver, June 2007

Colin, many thanks for being such a wonderful DJ and making us and our guests very happy. Everyone we have talked to has spoken very highly of your DJ skills. My Dad couldn't leave the dance floor! Seriously a great night and you and Lisa were fantastic at getting everyone on the floor. Thanks again for a truly wonderful performance.
C & K Crump, West Vancouver, August 2007

Hi Colin, I just wanted to thank you again for doing such a great job at our wedding. The music was absolutely perfect, and we had so many people comment on how great you were. The whole night went just as we had envisioned, and everyone had a great time on the dance floor. Thank you,
J & P Pauli, Vancouver, August 2007

Colin!
You were great. Sarah was great. The answers are all yes. Do you really need the hard copy? If yes, i'll do it! Andrew and I are fondly sharing memories daily of your performance. I can't believe the number of my special requests (and there were MANY) you played. Many of the songs you picked that i didn't even know fit just right. You knew what would work. We've had countless praises of the music. Susan has asked me to remember all the music so she can repeat a similarily awesome night when she gets married (in 2 years!). Thank you so so much. I will recommend you to everyone.
J & A Walter, Bowen Island, September 2007

Colin, Thank you so much for being part of our wedding. You really took our preferences to heart and made my husband (a hard-to-please music enthusiast!) very happy. Everyone had an amazing time and loved the music you played. My feet still hurt from dancing so much! Thank you, thank you!
N & F Curry, Vancouver, September 2007

Colin was fantastic throughout the planning. He accommodated every request and helped make our day one of the most memorable ever!

P & K Trotzuk, North Vancouver, December 2007

Thank you for being part of our special day. We were not disappointed as you’ve handled everything very well!
K & N Duong, Vancouver, June 2008

Colin, right from the very beginning when you offered to drive all the way to our place in Richmond, I knew you were the right DJ for our wedding. At our initial meeting, we immediately like you and wanted you to be our DJ. Throughout the months of wedding planning, you were very understanding and helpful when I was continuously having problems with my other vendors. You tried to make things as easy as possible for me, going out of your way when you didn’t have to. When I was feeling stressed out about the wedding day, I felt good that at least the music would be good. On our wedding day you were set up early and had everything ready for our grand entrance into the reception. Everything went so smoothly and I was really able to enjoy myself. You and your wife did an amazing job and made a huge contribution to the overall success of our wedding. We are so grateful for that and we can’t wait to recommend you to all of our family and friends. Thank you so much!
C & M Eyjolfson, Vancouver, June 2008

“The night was perfect. Colin was very professional and the music just kept on coming. Even though our guests weren’t the biggest dancers, there were always people on the dance floor. Colin played the perfect mix of music. Thank you so much.”
B & K Schieman, West Vancouver, July 2008

Locating and playing all the special request songs were appreciated by all our guests, as well as tracking down the one particular song I was looking for. The night was amazing and I have no regrets of choosing Sound Explosion. Thanks to you both! And thank you for including our photos for free...can’t wait to see them!
J & B Shaw, Pemberton, August 2008

We greatly appreciate all of your hard work and helpful tips that made our wedding a success.
C & R Reid, North Vancouver, August 2008

Colin, we were extremely happy that we chose you as our DJ for perhaps the most important day of our lives! Thank you for making our union as husband and wife so special and for being so kind, professional and most of all fun! YOU WERE AWESOME! All the best to you in the future. We will have no problem using you in the future, or referring you to friends and family. So kudos to you and your wife for helping to complete our wedding dreams.
J & A Ando, Pitt Meadows, September 2008

Hi Colin & Lisa – thanks for entertaining us on Saturday at our Xmas party, you guys did a great job as usual. We really appreciate your help, Colin, with our “Fun Auction” – you had terrific interaction with the bidders and moved things along professionally, not an easy task, I’m sure, with the “friendly” competition, the heckling, and some who were slightly inebriated!! Lots of fun! Several comments were made this year, that the volume of the music was “just right” and people could sit at their table and have a conversation while the music was playing, without having to shout above the music. Normally, they would have gone out into the lobby to talk, so it appears that was much appreciated. Thanks again! Penny
