Mark was sincere, dependable, and addressed all our questions making our daughter's special day seamless. We even had several customized requests for which Mark handled without question or pushback making the wedding even more memorable. Mark was professional, warm, caring, and a gentleman. Just the kind of person you want handling one of the most important day's of your life. Mark has a dynamic personality, and I knew after speaking with him on the phone that he was the one for us! We HIGHLY recommend Mark's for wedding services; he is a master at his craft. -- Cindy H, Baltimore, MD, 9/18/2010

• Mark Johnson of Sounds Of Success, showed up early to set up for my wedding reception. He was profession throughout my work experience with him. If at any time I needed to meet with him in order to discuss my music, he was always more than accomodating. He kept the crowd dancing and reception going smoothly. All my friends and family were impressed with how well he managed the reception and his collection of music. Sounds of Success is the only DJ I will use for any venue that I have. Thank you Gig Masters for introducing me to Mark Johnson and the Sounds Of Success Entertainment Co! -- Valerie P, Annapolis, MD, 7/17/2010
• Just Fabulous from beginning to end! From talking to Mark to working with Harvey (DJ) ! They both kept in contact with me, were more accommodating than many I have worked with. I wish I knew them when my son got married in DC ! I will use them WHENEVER I am in the DC area and will constantly recommend them to all of my friends!! Simply the best! -- Lisa S, Alexandria, VA, 7/3/2010

• Mark was very professional and personable. He showed up on time. I would definitely hire him again. -- Rosiland T, Triangle, VA, 10/30/2010
• Sounds of Success is a class act - from the moment we book them for this event they were wonderful. Providing great follow-up and responses. Their client area on their website was wonderful and helped make the planning of my event easy. I will book them for all of my future DJ needs. -- Karen M, Hanover, MD, 5/29/2010
• Mark was easy to work with however, it would have been nice if he had gotten a little more involved with the group. Overall though, the music was great and he was accomodating to all when it came to requests. -- Gail M, Gore, VA, 10/16/2010
• Outstanding! we will use them again. -- Candace D, Columbia, MD, 6/5/2010
• Great Job last night! Thanks so much, and we look forward to working with you again! -- Kevin M, Dover, DE, 2/14/2010
• Our experience was great. I appreciated not having to stand over him. This allowed us to spend time with family and friends. Guest complimented the Master of Ceremony and DJ all through out the night. Our money was well spent. Having a timeline of events or an agenda prepared ahead of time made our night run smoothly. Although with Mark and his level if experience we felt that we were in good hands. He kept the guest engaged and stayed with the agenda. Everything that we request was accomplished that evening. I will definitely hire him for our next event and the discount we received by booking the gig through gigmasters allowed us to party well into the night. -- Sunny H, Brandywine, MD, 9/22/2007
• Very professional, some of the music the the teenagers wanted was not available but I blame that on the teens not building a log of what they wanted before hand. It is importsnt to make a list of music that you would like to hear. -- Karl W, Fulton, MD, 10/23/2010
• This was painless and VERY professional. The price was perfect and everyone had a great time thanks to Mark Johnson. He was a fantastic DJ and I would recommend him to anyone who needed music services. -- Desiree A, Frederick, MD, 7/7/2007
• We hired Sounds of Success at the last minute for our wedding and they were more than willing to do it. They were very professional throughout the entire thing. If we had questions we could e-mail them or call them and they would answer our questions within a very timely fashion. Everyone at our wedding loved Sounds of Success. We had guests asking about them after the wedding was over! We highly recommended them to everyone and if we ever had another bog event to host we would definitely hire them again. My weddingreception went so smoothly and everyone had tons of fun. He got everyone out of their seats dancing and everything! They helped make our special day wonderful! If you are looking for a DJ choose them!! -- Kathryn M, York, PA, 5/26/2007
• MJohnson was a great DJ. I appreciate everything he did. He was no pressure for the contract wich was my bad bag- He went with the flow and showed up early, started prior to necessary agreed time (preffered)and worked out fine. He played all the songs I requested and took into consideration the requested songs from others. It was truly a beautiful wedding, he played the music I brought for my first dance- and it didn't scratch or skip a beat. He faded it in and out at the end. The ceremony played on with jazz,polka,frank sanatra to AC/DC, Santus Real and all of his professionalism and coordinates (Garter,apron dance,cake cutting etc)were right on time. Thanks Mr. MJ! -- Natalie R, Baltimore, MD, 5/6/2007
• Mark Johnson was very professional from day one and very helpful in the overall planning of the reception. We did not provide a detailed playlist, but provided some general parameters for different types of music during different time slots. He took it from there and did a great job of hosting the reception. Everyone had a great time. He also hooked us up with a great photographer. We would not hesitate to use Sounds of Success again. -- Rick D, Hagerstown, MD, 8/5/2007
• Mark did a great job for my daughters sweet 16 party, kept the guests entertained which was the most important thing. -- Bruce E, Centreville, VA, 9/11/2010
• The dj that was sent was great, The equipment at the start of the event was not working and we don't know why. Maybe arriving a little earlier may have resolved the situation...no matter, the effect was nuetral and made the Awards portion a little more cheesy and memorable. -- Sidd K, Alexandria, VA, 12/4/2010
• Sounds of Success was great and received a lot a great feedback from the quests. There were very responsive during the planning stages and were able to roll with all the changes in the venue. My only confirm was the wedding was at 6:15pm and at 6pm they had not arrived yet. When he did get there, he said he did not want to bother me on my day, my advise is, CALL regardless if it's the brides day or not. I would much prefer to give your directions to make sure you are there on time vs panicing 15 minus before show time. Aside from that hickup everything was wonderful.
