Thank you, Nova Sounds Entertainment & TruVibe DJs, for helping to make our wedding the best night of our lives!! From the first meeting we had up to the wedding day, Alan and the Nova Sounds Band, DJ, sound engineer & office team were a blast to work with. Whether it was the music they provided for the ceremony, dinner or dancing, we & our guests were blown away by their professionalism, expertise, timing & vast knowledge of music. They knocked every song on our playlist out of the park & even took new requests on the day of!! We are so grateful to have had them at our wedding!

The Nova Sounds Band & String Quartet just played at our wedding, and it was a dream come true!! The band leader, Alan, was a pleasure to work with in the lead up to our big day, and took great care to make sure all of our requests were met and exceeded. The band had no problem learning new dance songs for us, plus special music for our ceremony. They created an incredible atmosphere the entire night, and the dance floor was electric. We highly recommend booking them for your next event!

Nova Sounds is a must-have for your wedding!!! We saw their quartet performing at the Shangri-La Toronto Hotel in 2024 and knew that we had to have them at our wedding. When we approached the band leader, Alan, he was warm, friendly, and eager to help us create the perfect wedding. We decided then and there to have their 9-piece band perform at our wedding. Throughout the planning process, Alan and his team were incredibly accommodating and flexible. On our wedding night, the band’s energy was mesmerizing – they wowed our guests with their performance and even let us sing with them! We can’t recommend them enough!

I have worked with Nova Sounds Entertainment many times over the years. They have always proved to be a professional group of musicians. The Band is current with its music selection, able to read the crowd and understand the rhythm of the event. Nova Sounds has always accommodated the needs of my clients! I highly recommend them – you will not be disappointed!

11th hour request…and they came thru in spades.
Beautiful music and energy.. their presence changed the entire paradigm of the party. It turned into a spectacular evening.
Very diversified playlist….
Many comments post-party about how great it was to have good live music in an outdoor setting.
Highly recommended.

I’ve hired the Nova Sounds Band for private, gala and corporate events on a number of occasions over the years. They’ve consistently had outstanding quality with their performances because their singers and instrumentalists are all seasoned pros with a lot of onstage experience. The Nova Sounds can please any audience at any type of function because they have a huge playlist that covers any musical style authentically…. but if I’ve requested songs that weren’t already in their repertoire, they’ve always accommodated me by learning them especially. They’re equally at ease with providing background music for a cocktail reception or dinner and high energy party music that quickly fills a dance floor. I highly recommend Nova Sounds Entertainment and the Nova Sounds Band for your next event!
