We hired Nova Sounds Entertainment to organize the music for our daughter’s wedding. We were really pleasantly surprised by his professionalism and willingness to accommodate our requests and ensure that all of our guests were engaged and enjoying the music. He was able to choose selections which covered all age groups, and was a master at reading and responding to the audience!! Thank you, Alan & the rest of the Nova Sounds team, for making our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding so enjoyable. They are truly a leader in the business!!

Nova Sounds performed at our son's Bar Mitvah party in March of this year.
We were extremely happy with their music and the personal attention we received both before and after the party.
The versatile music was able to appeal to all ages and had everyone up on the floor !
The vocalists also danced and were engaging and outgoing as they traversed the floor.
Based on emails from guests after the party,
I would certainly recommend Nova Sounds
to anyone looking to have an unforgettable
party !

Alan and Nova Sounds were fantastic to deal with - listened, explained, accommodated during the planning of my parent's 60th wedding anniversary, and ultimately did a great job at the event itself. There were about 75 people at our event, many of whom were over 70, and Alan and team were able to find appropriate music that got people dancing, and having fun! They were able to work around speeches, set the right volume for the different parts of the evening, and played great sounding music. The band was very talented. Thanks - we will definitely reach out to Nova Sounds again!

Nova Sounds provided some great music and set the positive and fun vibe for our alumni and guests who came back to the school for the 150th anniversary. Many people commented on how amazing it was to be greeted with music and as an alumnus of the program, it was extra special to have Alan perform as well!

I hired Nova Sounds Entertainment for our company party this year. They did not disappoint on any level! It was a pleasure to work with their team to design the perfect night. We danced the night away to the Nova Sounds Band and their TruVibe DJs. Our staff is still talking about the amazing time they had. I highly recommend them for your next event!

We hired Nova Sounds for our wedding a few months ago, and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Alan the band leader was a pleasure to deal with - professional, friendly, and clearly experienced. On the night, the band completely exceeded our expectations. They had everyone up dancing, played a great mix of songs and created the perfect atmosphere for the celebration. The singers were fantastic and the DJ they brought along to play in between breaks and to the end of the night , did an awesome job keeping the guests happy. The sound and lights were perfect, and so many of our guests came up to us saying how amazing the band was. They really made the night! Highly recommend Nova Sounds , if you’re looking for a talented band who knows how to keep the party going all night !
