Meet Our Staff
Kevin

The owner / operator of Simply Sound Wedding DJ's & More, (Kevin) has been entertaining crowds since 1996, and dj'ing weddings since 1999. Kevin's passion for entertaining, landed him a part time job as a chicago wedding dj in 1999 where he became a very popular and requested dj. After two years as a dj, Kevin's love for weddings made him pursue other avenues. Kevin has worked so many aspects of weddings including banquet set-up to floral design, to videography and even as far as ceremony rehearsals and wedding planning, and now wedding invitations. He has expert knowledge in weddings and event planning. Kevin is very detailed when it comes to any event. The knowledge obtained from these various aspects of weddings and his continued success in the industry led to the idea of venturing off on his own. Knowing that his ideas, sense of business, and hard work could far exceed those of any other company, Simply Sound Wedding DJ's & More was created late in 2003. His fun and energetic personality will keep you and your group entertained and dancing all night long from start to finish. He loves rocking out the 80's (especially Footloose) but enjoys all styles. He can modify his style from high energy (very interactive) to conservatively laid back (for those self starters).
Kevin also designs and plan events when he is not dj'ing weddings which is another one of his passions. His creativity, passion and expert knowledge of the industry and other vendors allows him to help you create the perfect vision and feel for your special day. His planning packages are either full coordination from start to finish, partial planning or day of coordinator. Kevin is not your average wedding planner and has a more unique style to planning that makes your day memorable and work for you instead of the other way around.
