We are always willing to provide verbal references as well.

Hi Dan!

Thank you so so so much to you and Laura! You two were so amazing - I had such a great time! Excellent music selections - I think it was the best music at a wedding by far! We had absolutely nothing but compliments with Vitamin String Quartet - Excellent suggestion! Thank you so much once again - You did a fantastic job! :)

Andrea & Chris (September 3rd, 2010)

Dear Dan & Laura

We are now into the middle of September - and the wedding of Andrea and Chris is well behind us. All of the planning and preparations for such a long time suddenly came to life on September 3rd at the Royal Ambassador in Caledon - and it was over in one day. But what a spectacular day it was! There is not one thing about the entire day that I would even dream about changing - or improving.

Everything was absolutely perfect~

Dan and Laura, I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful atmosphere that you created for the entire wedding of my daughter and new son-in -law - from the Ceremony right through to the Last Dance. You assisted them tremendously in making choices of music for their wedding - and they were so happy with how unique the music for their special day was. It was not just another wedding - it was 'their' wedding - designed just for them.

We were very pleased, as well, with the Ambient Decor Uplighting that you provided for the evening reception. This is an incredible product - and does so much. The pink glow around the room certainly complimented their theme, and highlighted the already beautiful venue, creating a breathtaking atmosphere - one that we will remember for many days to come. It is hard to imagine what we would have missed, had we passed on that. As I mentioned earlier, it was all so perfect!

Thank you Dan, for taking care of the emceeing for the evening - you did a great job! I appreciated having you look after this, so that I did not have to impose on any of our guest.

Laura, I am so happy that you were also able to join us for dinner and the evening, as well. I hope that you enjoyed yourself. I have seen a couple of the preview pictures from the photo booth - and you looked pretty happy. All of the vender's who assisted us turned out to be Number One - it was like dealing with friends.

In closing, I just have to say 'Thank You' one more time. You assisted greatly in making my daughter's dream come to life - and your services were much appreciated. If anyone is ever asking for a recommendation for Disc Jockey services - "Sounds of Distinction" will be Number One on our list.

Yours truly,

Barbara Bean (Mother of the Bride)

Dear Dan,

Thank you so much for the unreal job you did DJing our wedding. We still get comments on how fun our wedding was & how our guests at the end of the night kept begging for one more song! We were so happy you were able to play all of Dave and I's favorite songs!

It truly was a night to remember!

Thanks again!

Stephanie & Dave (June 26th, 2010)

I didn't even get a chance to meet Dan when I booked him - but I didn't have to! We met a few DJs and from the moment I talked to Dan over the phone - I knew he was the person we were booking with. He was SO kind and I was so impressed with him from the very first time we spoke. He was patient and really put time in to answering all of my questions and not only that - he actually talked to me about music in general and how he got started and showed a genuine interest in getting to know my husband and I better. Then came our wedding night. He took requests, he played songs we loved and even managed to find a song that was so special to my family. I was actually supposed to send him the song, as it is not a popular song that is easy to find. With all that was going on and all of the things to do - I forgot to do so. I was disappointed with myself because it was my grandfather's song who passed away 4 years ago and I knew it would have meant a lot to my family. Dan looked up the song on his own initiative and made sure it was on his playlist. Dan also did our MC'ing.


He was so smooth and really keep things flowing the entire night long. I provided a few songs that I really wanted and gave him an idea of what we liked and he impressed! Something else I noticed about Dan was that he had a smile on his face the entire night. Even in our photos! He really enjoys what he does and, I think, takes great pride in his job. Naturally, his love for his work shines through when you see him in action. He kept people dancing all night long and family members also commented on how kind and approachable he was when they made requests. When he needed to take initiative he did and when he wanted to make sure things were ok with Larry and I - he did that also.


We had a small glitch in our slideshow (that had nothing to do with Dan) when my bridesmaid tried to get it started. I'm not sure if it was a cord issue or an issue with my ancient laptop - but Dan immediately was there to see if he could solve the problem and offer a hand. It was up and running in no time.

Dan and his wife work as a team and in all my email correspondence Dan's wife Laura was also a pleasure to deal with. All of our questions went answered in a timely fashion and we even had special entrances that required a little more planning and they both were up for the challenge :) I highly recommend Dan from Sounds of Distinction. If anyone had any questions about my experience with Dan of Sounds of Distinctions, I can be reached via email.

Crystal & Larry - July 10th, 2010

Hi Dan,

I just want to thank you for doing such an amazing job.  I think the mix of everything worked perfectly!
I kept hearing people say they have never heard such good music at a wedding.

I just want to thank you again and I hope you had a nice visit to our little city.

Thanks again!

Chris & Lisa ( July 3rd, 2010)

Dan,

Thank you for doing such a great job at our wedding. The music was great.
Everyone loved the selection and had a blast.

If you ever need a reference we'll be happy to provide one.

Talk to you later.

Kevin & Nora (February 6th, 2010)

Dear Laura,

Thank you so so much for all of your help on and before our wedding day! You made it run so smoothly, it was amazing! We received so many compliments on the music and we had to pass that along to you! You are amazing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

John and Erica (September 26th, 2009)

Dear Dan and Laura,

Thanks so much for your Dj Services at our wedding.  It was a pleasure to have you both there, and we hope that you enjoyed your ‘date night’ as well! You certainly made it a great Party!

Sincerely, Amanda and Brian ( July 19th, 2009)

Hi Dan!

Rob and I wanted to say thank you so very much for the services you provided us for our wedding day. The music could not have been better. We had so much fun and more importantly so did our guests. We felt that the intimate nature of the wedding was perfect for the fun requests and had everyone enjoying themselves. Thank you so much for your flexibility of music choices and for your fun nature that fit perfectly with the party.

We will definitely recommend your services to all of our friends.

Jennifer and Robert (February 28th, 2009)

Dear Dan & Laura

Thank you for handling the music at our wedding. It was PERFECT! Our guests loved the music and most of all, Karyn and I were extremely happy. Everyone had a great time. Your presence helped make our wedding perfect.

With Love,
       Shamyl and Karyn (October 18, 2008)

Hi Dan and Laura,

We just wanted to thank you once again for all of your help over the last couple months. We really appreciate everything you did for us, from the first time we spoke on the phone to our Stag and Doe and then of course the Wedding. We have had such awesome compliments about your music all the way from the ceremony, through dinner and of course the reception. You covered every little detail and did everything possible to make our day go smoothly. We loved the music you suggested for the ceremony and you knew exactly what music to play to keep everyone dancing all night. Not too mention handling all the requests so easily everything from swing, to country, and the top forty. You two made our two nights, both great successes.

We will not hesitate suggesting you to everyone we know, in fact we have already started.

Thanks Again,

Nick and Tara (July 5, 2008)

Hi Dan,

I just wanted to thank you once again for doing such an excellent job at our wedding! The past few weeks have given us a chance to talk with our friends and family to hear what a great time everyone had. This is a rewarding feeling. The amount of people that commented on the great job from Dan the DJ was outstanding! You and Laura should be proud of your work and your ability to make things run seamless. From our first meeting to the big day, you helped us through everything (even beyond DJ responsibilities). We had no doubts after you did my sister's wedding in July and this is a great example of how word of mouth really does work! Thanks once again and I will be sure to recommend you to anyone and everyone!

Ryan and Lindsay (September 22, 2007)

AMAZING, AWESOME and SO MUCH FUN!!!

My dance floor was packed!! All night long (and every day since) people have been telling me that our DJ was so good, and so nice. He had and would play all our requests (and there were some interesting ones!) and our guests danced all night long.

When the speeches were going on, he had sound effects ready to go. I still have no idea whether it was planned or not, but when my new MIL(Mother In-law) was very strongly “hinting” about grandchildren during her speech, Dan right away had babies crying in the background – it was HILARIOUS!

Dan and Laura were the first vendors that I booked, and I was not disappointed. I would contact them for the strangest not-DJ-related things, (like what hotels they would recommend near Orangeville) and they were right there to make suggestions and help any way they could. Definitely book these two, you won’t regret it!!

Crystal and Steve (October 27,2007)

Dan and Laura were our DJ's for our June wedding and were GREAT! They were hands down, bar-none, the BEST choice we made for the wedding. We e-mailed them a couple of times prior to meeting, and booked them immediately. They are so easy going and fun, they played exactly the type of music we're into and wanted, they had the dance floor packed at all times, and they even had a surprise for us!! Laura actually took some photo's of the ceremony and cake and then e-mailed them to us. They even gave us a wedding card!

Whenever a song wasn't doing well (the dance floor started to clear), they would immediately change the song, which was wonderful. A lot of our guests gushed about how great they thought they were. They were very easy to communicate with(we did all our communications via e-mail), always got back to us in a timely fashion, and were totally onboard with everything we wanted. And to top it all off, they were frugal.

If I were you, I wouldn't put off hiring them!

Christopher and Bambie (June 10, 2006)

Laura and Dan!!

I'm so glad you guys were part of our special day!! Thank you so much for your kind words!!

We had an amazing wedding day and night. The day was everything I had hoped for and more. I just had an awesome time. I was so sad to see the day end!! I want my wedding back!!! LOL!! We had a great honeymoon in Hawaii too and again did not want it to end!!

Thank you guys so much for doing such a great job. Everyone had a blast! They all loved the music as I'm sure you saw from the packed dance floor!! Even the bridesmaids from the wedding next door came in and danced!! They told me in the bathroom that our wedding was more fun and that the music was so much better ...I agree!!!

You guys were just great and we really appreciate it. I am going to be posting a review of my day on 3 wedding websites (Frugal, Wedding Bells and Canadian Bride) and of course will be putting in an excellent review for you guys. I hope to work on this review next week. I was going to copy a link to your website into my review ...is this okay with you?

Talk to you soon and thanks so much again for everything you did to make our night so special!!

Denise and David (August 25, 2007)

Dear Dan and Laura,

This is just a quick note to say thank you for the wonderful job you did providing the music at our wedding reception. You did an incredible job of keeping the dance floor packed all night. We were a little unsure of whether to extend the the music for the extra hour, but once we did, we couldn’t believe how you managed to the whole crowd dancing again from 1 AM to 2 AM.

Dan and Andrea (October 7, 2007)

I Recommend Dan & Laura Forbes. They worked my wedding and truly went above and beyond. When one of my guests had an issue with the strap of her dress, Laura jumped in and managed to get her a safety pin to help out as well, Laura helped me out when the ribbon for my corset needed to be tied out of my way.

They were like my music and general problem solvers.

Kait and Adam (April 19, 2008)

Hi Laura and Dan

Well I am just getting around to sending thank you e-mails :) I wanted to thank both of you for making our wedding the BEST wedding we could have ever imagined. I knew from the get go that music makes or breaks a party ...and our party was FANTASTIC! I have been received calls and e-mails all week from our guests telling us this was the best wedding that they have ever been too - and a lot of that credit must go to the 2 of you. You kept the dance floor going and handled all requested amazingly. Thanks again - I will definitely be giving you a RAVE review on Frugal Bride!

Kim and Jamie (September 2, 2007)

Dan & Laura,

Thank you so much for being a part of your wedding and for helping make it so special. We received many compliments on the music and our guests had a fantastic time.

Thanks Again,

Elizabeth and Ronald (July 25, 2008)

Dan and Laura:

Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so great. You really helped to create the party atmosphere that we envisioned by keeping us and our guests dancing all night long! We could really tell that you care about your clients by listening to our wishes and needs. We will certainly recommend you to anyone!

With Sincere Thanks,

Shannon and Simon (October 11, 2008)

Dear Dan and Laura,

We are writing to express our gratitude for your DJ and MC services during our wedding cocktail hour and reception. Laura, you are an exceptional MC and Dan, you are a fantastic DJ!  You helped to make the event special and our guests had fun! All the best to you in 2009.

Warmest regards,

Simone and Maurizio (December 6, 2008)

John and I had the pleasure of working with Dan as a DJ & MC for our wedding on July 19th, 2008.

He was prepared, professional and easy to get along with. The music was just as we had discussed before the wedding.
During the evening, he had a good feel for if a song was a bust and would change it up to keep the party moving. The music and lighting was perfect for our venue and everyone had a good time.

Thanks Dan for making our reception special and memorable!!!

Susan and John (July 19, 2008)

Dear Laura and Dan,

I have not yet had the opportunity to write as we’ve been settling in Winnipeg. But I do want to thank you for your services at our second reception. We recognized the challenges of the room and of having spoken to you on such short notice, however, you were very accommodating and the results were great. I really loved the music and even though I didn’t have time to enjoy it even more by dancing, I still really loved it all.

Once again, I think the music was beautiful. I also really appreciate the work you did with the powerpoint, it meant a lot to me to be able to share those pictures with everyone. You were an essential part to a beautiful evening and I really appreciate your work. All the best to you and much success!

Warm regards,

Lina and Mike (August 30,2008)

Hi Dan and Laura,

Did we come over and say goodbye to you at the end of the night? If we missed you, we are very sorry! Again, many people raved about your talents, and we are recommending you to all of our friends and family (who haven’t used you yet!) lol. It seems you are becoming the family DJ! You both are wonderful people, and we can’t thank you enough for such a great night!

We hope you have a very wonderful and successful summer,

Matt and Jackie (May 31, 2008)
