PHOTO BOOTHS
Photo booths are a ton of fun and Soundwave has seen more and more booths at our wedding receptions.
When it comes to photo booths, we highly recommend the booth be placed as close to the dance floor as possible! Why? Simple…photo booths attract a ton of attention and the younger guests frequent them often. From a DJ standpoint, we want to keep the “energy and interaction” on the dance floor and near it. We don’t want your guests outside the ballroom or tucked in the corner away from dancing. Soundwave recommends keeping all the fun centered together so that you dont have “2 separate parties” going on.
WALDORF ASTORIA ORLANDO
Soundwave was honored to DJ the 1st wedding at the new Waldorf Astoria Orlando. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Eric Stone!
FORGET FORMAL INTRODUCTIONS…A NEW TREND!
Recently, we worked with E-Events Wedding Planning at the Rosen Shingle Creek for a fabulous wedding celebration for Allison and David Christino. In lieu of traditional introductions, the bride and groom opted for a very chic and modern first dance / formal introduction all perfectly coordinated by E-Events and Soundwave. As the bride and groom began their fist dance, the guests were invited into the reception and gathered around the dance floor. As the dance ended, the bride and groom were surrounded by family and friends as they were introduced as Mr and Mrs Christino! Guests then took their assigned seats and we continued with toasts and prayer. Very chic and unexpected!
REQUESTED MUSIC
When determining ceremony and reception music, be certain to communicate to Soundwave the song, artist AND version you want played. Refer to I-Tunes to sample your songs and provide us with as much information as possible to ensure we provide the correct song on your wedding day. For example, From This Moment by Shania Twain has 3 different versions on I-Tunes. Whereas Canon in D has 200 versions by various artist on I-Tunes.
BEWARE OF YOU TUBE!
Many brides use You Tube as a tool in their wedding planning. Although a great reference, keep in mind DJs CAN NOT download music from You Tube. Many of the remixes you hear on You Tube have been created by DJs and are not released by a record label for resale. Also, in many cases you will hear a song that an individual has released and is trying to get noticed.These include church singers, up and coming bands, etc. These novice artists post their videos and music on You Tube in hopes of getting exposure. If you find a song you like on You Tube, you need to check I-Tunes to see if the song is available. If it is not on I-tunes, more than likely we cannot obtain the song.
RHODES STUDIOS VIDEOGRAPHY AND PHOTOGRAPHY www.rhodesstudios.com
Edmund Rhodes is not only a talented and well respected Orlando wedding videography and photographer, but he is also one of the nicest, most genuine individuals you could ever wish to do business with. Brides love his passion and charisma while vendors appreciate his great communication and team player approach. Soundwave is fortunate to not only work many weddings with Edmund but we also consider him a good friend! Thank you Edmund for video and photography you have supplied to us for our website!
BLUSH WEDDING PLANNING BY BRANDEE GAAR www.blushbbg.com
Soundwave DJs have developed a fabulous relationship with Blush by Brandee Gaar, wedding planning, coordination and design. Brandee is one of Orlando’s hardest working and most passionate wedding planners we have ever met. Brides love her, vendors appreciate her organization and great communication, and her talents in the wedding and catering industry are second to none. Thank you Blush for making us all shine!
WHY A DAY OF COORDINATOR?
Soundwave works with many of Orlando’s finest wedding coordinators. A wedding coordinator is probably one of the best investments you can make to ensure a fabulous wedding celebration. Experienced DOCs (day of coordinators) average from $800 – $1200 for their services. But don’t be mistaken by the term “day of.” Quality DOCs offer much more than just day of services. Their services often kick in about 6 weeks prior to your wedding day!

-Complimentary consultation

ANNIVERSARY CARDS AT YOUR RECEPTION
This is one of the most creative things we have seen at a reception in quite sometime! The bride and groom placed ‚Anniversary Cards‚ on each table labeled 1st Anniversary, 2nd Anniversary, 10th Anniversary, and so on. The guests were instructed to write an anniversary message to the bride and groom in the blank cards. The guests had a great time writing special messages in the cards that will be opened by the newlyweds each anniversary. What a fabulous way to remember your wedding day each anniversary!
VITAMIN STRING QUARTET
The Vitamin String Quartet takes pop and rock songs and plays them in an instrumental version to the beautiful sounds of a string quartet. They have numerous songs on I-Tunes that you can sample. Their music is deal for ceremonies and dinner music.

Below are some of the recent “personal touches” that really have WOWED guests at Soundwave weddings:
- Bride and Groom re-enacting “Now I’ve Had the Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing!
- Bride and Groom giving high fives as they danced down the aisle to “Another One Bites the Dust.”
- Bride and Groom being introduced to “Crazy Train” by Ozzy at a reception at The Grand Bohemian.
- Dad sang “All I Ask of You” to his daughter, the bride.
- Staging an elaborate formal introduction at Lake Nona Country Club on the beautiful staircase. Soundwave and the wedding planner worked hard to make this seamless.
- Incorporating a Jamaican tradition of “unveiling the cake”
- Timing “Helleluya” just perfectly as the Bride and Groom made their formal grand entrance
- Dedicating 4 Abba songs to the Bride’s family and everyone singing and waving lighters
- Playing “Let It Snow” as guests tossed confetti snow at the Bride and Groom during their formal farewell and the DJ wishing them well on their Alaskan cruise!
- Hawaiian bride dancing a special hula for her new husband…very chic!
DJ LES KOPASZ, WIFE WENDY AND SON DYLAN FAMILY STORY
The Kopasz story began in 1985 in Buffalo, NY, when Les and Wendy began dating in high school. At the time, Wendy was a dedicated Speed Skater traveling the world and was an alternative on the 1988 US Olympic Speed Skating Team…crazy but true!
Like any young couple, we were on and off again throughout our teen years and early 20s. Wendy hung up the speed skates and joined Les at college. Weekends were busy for Les dee jaying at various night clubs throughout Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
In 1994, Les and Wendy finally tied the knot at a beautiful Catholic church ceremony followed by an elegant reception at Samuel’s Grande Manor with 200 of our family, lots of friends and plenty of DJs…of course!
We honeymooned for 6 years while we both pursued careers and Les slowly transitioned from weekend dee jaying to weddings and private parties…the beginning of Soundwave Entertainment! We traveled a lot and lived for Buffalo summers where we boated on the beautiful waterways of the Niagara River and Lake Erie.
Finally parenthood called, and our beautiful son Dylan was born in June 2000 – the first grandchild on both sides! After 9-11, Les’ corporate job moved us to Orlando. Soon after moving to Orlando, Les and Wendy re-established Soundwave Entertainment and Wendy began aggressively marketing our DJ company.
Three years later, Soundwave Entertainment, Orlando, went full time and Les said goodbye to his corporate job. Today Soundwave is a full time business for Les and Wendy and small team of DJs.
Of course our son Dylan is, at least in our eyes, the coolest 8 year old around. Following in our music footsteps, he is an aspiring rock drummer! He takes drum lessons and idolizes RUSH. At the tender age of 7, Dylan witnessed his first concert…RUSH. Now Les and Dylan are gearing up for 3rd row seats at AC/DC in December.
When we are not dee jaying, Les, Wendy, Dylan and our golden retriever Fuzzy can be found on the Butler Chain waterskiing, or in Clearwater boating and swimming with the dolphins at our favorite hangout Shepards!
