Corporate FunctionReviewed on December 13, 2008From San Jose, CA

We were so pleased with the Sound Effect. They were everything and more than we expected in a band. Our wedding was perfect and they were a hit with all of our guests, both old and young. They played a variety of songs and kept the dance floor full the entire night. Everyone commented on how great they were. We would recommend them to any future bride and groom. They'll make your day unique and fun!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on October 19, 2007From Daly City, CA

The Sound Effect were great! The Jazz Quartet that played before and during dinner was perfect. The Band were very respectful and accomodated our party for what ever we asked. The Vocals (even though the lady vocal got in late due to her late flight but still made her way to my event)were just awesome! The event was celebrating my husband's Big 50th Birthday and he was pleased! I would definitely recommend the Sound Effect to everyone!!! I would like to Thank Scott for handling my last minute request in getting a band. Thanks also to Gigmasters for your help as well! Fia Toeaina

:

I just wanted to comment on the note that our female vocalist was late. This gig was booked 36 hours before the performance date with the client's knowledge that our female vocalist was out of state and was scheduled to arrive on a flight 90 minutes before performance time and that we could not ensure that she would make the gig at all. This is why her tardiness did not reflect in a negative rating.

Bar MitzvahReviewed on October 18, 2008From Santa Clara, CA

The Sound Effect played for our son's Bar Mitzvah and wildly exceeded all of our expectations. They sound much better in person than there demos. They're also friendly and outgoing and don't have any musician's ego issues. I'd highly recommend them.

The Sound Effect was an exceptional addition to our reunion and made for a much more memorable event than a DJ would have done.

Having live music, and especially choosing The Sound Effect, made for a lively and fun party. Thanks everyone.

WeddingReviewed on November 8, 2008From Redwood City, CA

Our clients were bursting with good things to say about the band. Their music selection was just the right mix to keep everyone on the dance floor, and the band fed off of the energy of the dancers to keep everything going until the end.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on December 5, 2008From Stockton, CA

The Sound Effect provided a great atmosphere for celebrating all of the hard work of our staff during the past year. They assisted us with the timeline as we planned our event, and performed very well. They had people up on the dance floor who hadn't danced in years. We'd certainly recommend them and hope to use them again soon.

FundraiserReviewed on January 10, 2009From Cupertino, CA

The Sound Effect was exactly what we wanted for our school fundraiser. The had people up on the dance floor that hadn't danced in years and years. And they were very easy to work with.

You can't go wrong in booking The Sound Effect for your event. This it the second time this year we've booked them for clients and they were extremely well satisfied in both cases. We'll continue to recommend them to our clients for future events when live music has been requested.

WeddingReviewed on June 21, 2009From Livermore, CA

From every aspect, The Sound Effect delivered more than I expected. They arrived in plenty of time to finish setup more the a half-hour ahead of time, so that the stage was clear as our wedding guests arrived. They kept the dance floor rocking all night and the time passed by so quickly. Our highest recommendation.

It was great to actually have people up dancing at our party this year. A better choice than our usual DJ option

WeddingReviewed on December 15, 2009From San Jose, CA

We hired The Sound Effect to play our wedding reception. We were looking for a band that would be a lot of fun and would get people to dance. Scott Switzer and The Sound Effect were very professional and easy to work with from start to finish. More importantly, they rocked! I’ve never been to a wedding where the dance floor was packed the entire time—no one wanted the night to end! The Sound Effect surpassed all expectations and we highly recommend them to any and all.

Wow - The band was everything we expected. Working with them was easy and great. The worked up a special difficult song for our first dance and made the evening great. They had the dance floor all night with a wide variety of guests.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on November 16, 2009From Sonoma, CA

The Sound Effect did a tremendous job at our wedding. The had the dance floor filled and overflowing all night long. We couldn't believe that the evening went by so quickly. This was a destination wedding and we picked them just by looking through bands online. Scott, the leader, communicated with us as needed during the planning stage and was very responsive to us. Everything came off better than expected. Thanks Much!
