When the Nova Sounds and TruVibe DJ entertain, the expression “Music makes the wedding” is never truer!
My daughter and son-in-law booked them for their wedding last summer and the evening was a complete success, largely due to the complete package that Nova Sounds Entertainment provided. Their attention to detail and many years of experience in the music business were clearly evident even prior to the event. Alan Shiner met with them twice to scope out what songs they would like to be played, then reviewed their proposed schedule for the entire evening of their wedding, and even made some suggestions as to how things might go smoother(!) which they readily accepted.
As the wedding itself was going to be in a tent, Alan, the DJ and their chief sound engineer did a ‘site check' at the venue in advance to carefully plan where the band, DJ, sound system and lighting would be placed.
The sound and balance of the Nova Sounds band and singers were excellent. From the very first song, everyone could tell that this was a very polished and professional group, having a profusion of talent, excellent musicianship, versatility and expertise! Both the band and TruVibe DJ interacted with our guests effortlessly, playing all of their requests!!
We would like to give the highest recommendation for Nova Sounds Entertainment and thank them once again for making our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding a truly special evening.

We couldn't have asked for better entertainment than the Nova Sounds Band and TruVibe DJ Luis at our wedding! From the first note they played, they had everyone dancing and having a blast. The 6-piece band's energy was infectious, and Luis seamlessly kept the party going with a flawless mix of songs.
What truly set them apart was their professionalism and attention to detail. They took the time to understand our preferences, ensuring every moment felt special. Working closely with Alan Shiner, the creative director and producer of Nova Sounds Entertainment, was a privilege. Despite his busy schedule with Mariah Carey's tour, Alan flew back specifically for our special day. Our rapport grew from our initial consultation phone call to watching them perform at the Shangri-La lounge, to fine-tuning set lists in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The entire experience was seamless, and they exceeded our expectations.
Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without Nova Sounds, Luis, and Alan. They created an atmosphere filled with love and joy through their incredible music. Thank you for making our day absolutely unforgettable!
With heartfelt thanks,
Xander & Katrina Jung

We had Nova Sounds play at our wedding and they did an amazing job. Alan worked with me to ensure everything went smoothly and there were no surprises. He also ensured that every special song we wanted to hear that night got played. The band went out of their way to learn some songs just for us and surprised us by learning some we had agreed wouldn't be possible under the time constraints. There were lots of compliments paid to the band by our guests. The quality of the musicianship and vocal talents was outstanding. We couldn't have been happier with choosing Nova Sounds for our wedding.
