Testimonials & Photos
DJ Sha was a pleasure to have at our wedding. Always available to talk to in order to change something up or give suggestions as to our timeline. He was able to provide good suggestions and ease our concerns on our big day. Sha always made himself available to discuss anything related to our event and we had a great party!
I would recommend powered AV for your wedding or any event!

I cannot recommend Shahin enough. He was professional, accommodating and made our wedding a day we will never forget. Thank you, Shahin!
Olivia B. August 31, 2013
When we decided to book, he met with us to go over the event and how he can assist with almost all parts of it. During the meeting, we went through a questionnaire that addresses what songs we wanted to play during certain parts of the ceremony as well the mood of the music throughout the night. Our guests were also very pleased with his service and were free to request music as the night went on.
Of special note, our ceremony was an outdoor wedding, but due to the time of year (september), we had some family members that could not be outside due to the temperature. Shahin went above and beyond to have it setup so that the ceremony was broadcasted inside for the affected family members which allowed them to not miss a beat.
I would highly recommend Powered AV to anyone who is looking for an audio expert who really knows his stuff to bring the ceremony and party to life.

A DJ is an essential part of an event. For us, when selecting a DJ for our wedding reception, we really wanted to make sure we chose the right one because, let’s be honest, a bad DJ can ruin the night and a great DJ can turn the wedding reception into an epic night!
We were so extremely pleased with our choice! The set up and take down was seamless, the music selection was excellent and exactly our taste in music and the professionalism was next level!
Jessie H. April 18, 2015
Shahin was incredibly helpful and made us feel comfortable with the plan for the day of our wedding. He asked all the questions to make sure no detail was left out. He was so great and reliable that we had him dj my brother's wedding, where he made me look good for suggesting him to my brother. Thanks Shahin!
Tanner O. August 1, 2015
Hi Shahin, The projector we rented from you worked amazingly well!
We will definitely keep your info for any future events!
Thanks again for helping us out on such short notice!Anna November 30, 2017
Wen and I just wanted to send you a little note to let you know how much we appreciated your help on our wedding day - the music was great, the hall looked wonderful with your uplighting, and we really appreciated you last minute MCing for us.
Thanks again for all your help in making our day special.
Christopher & Wen October 27, 2018
Thank you, it was wonderful to have you with us on Saturday! You did such a great job, all of our friends kept telling us that our dj was on fire! Hahaha.
Thank you again! We had such a great time and you made it all the more special :)Alexis May 24, 2019
We decided to hire Powered AV's DJ services for our wedding and can wholeheartedly recommend that you do too. Shahin was excellent in helping us through such a busy day, providing great music that our guests loved, microphones for speeches and announcements throughout the day. The pricing was especially good too, given how amazing the service was.
If you're looking for someone trustworthy and professional for your next event, this is definitely the company to go with!
Mat May 29, 2019
Shahin was both helpful and accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process. Not only in providing the agreed upon music, but also going above and beyond to assist with other elements of our Covid wedding stream. We hope that we can request his services again for our reception.
Adam March 28, 2021
Our original wedding date was postponed due to COVID and he was extremely flexible. We didn’t know until a week or two before the wedding whether we would be in stage 3 and have access to the hall inside or if it would all be in a tent. The timeline for the day of also changed due to the weather. Powered AV brought two sets of equipment so both spaces would be covered and took care of all the little details with our MC and venue so we didn’t need to worry about it. The day of the wedding was stressful enough so we were very appreciative for their flexibility and not to have to worry about it. We were very impressed with a thorough questionnaire they provided us in advance in regards to music and what we had envisioned for the night. The music was fantastic, it was exactly what we had envisioned and everyone was up dancing and engaged. If you are looking for an experienced, professional, entertaining, reliable (regular follow up emails) DJ then I would highly recommend. On top of that he was very personable and enthusiastic about making our day special. Honestly there is not one thing I would change. The experience was amazing.

Shahin was amazing for us. Great communication before and during our event. He also was able to think on the fly and adapt to our needs. Setup was quick and easy going.
Kelsi M. August 14, 2021
We had an excellent experience with Shahin of Powered AV. He matched our music tastes perfectly, played all our request, and made sure the wedding night was a party. He was always extremely professional to work with, replied to our emails right away, and answered all of our questions. On top of being a great DJ, Shahin doubled as an MC and mini wedding planner! Being the first of our friends to get married, my husband and I had so many questions about the flow of events at a wedding. Shahin helped us plan out the order of speeches, cake cutting, first dance, bouquet toss, and more. He answered all of our questions without judgement and saved us from a disorganized evening. We are so grateful for Shahin!
Meaghan September 18, 2021
Shahin was incredible! We had a lot of last minute changes due to no-shows and the weather, and he was completely flexible. The music was fantastic, and he kept people on the floor all night! He also did a great job as our MC for intros, speeches, and dances. Our guests were raving about him even at other events we attended! We 100% recommend Powered AV to anyone looking to book a DJ!
Sabrina H. October 2, 2021

Selena & Dylan May 28, 2022
Shahin was great for our wedding day! He was organized and everything went smoothly the day of!
Kirthana S. July 8, 2022
Shahin was extremely thorough in learning about our music preferences and the music we wanted played for each special moment, while also being extremely flexible with our last minute changes. He kept the dance floor extremely fun and crowded all the way until we got kicked out! He did a great job feeling out the crowd and catering the music that kept everyone dancing. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how good the DJ is and how fun our wedding was. I would definitely recommend Shahin if you want to have a great time dancing at the wedding!
Chris B. July 29, 2022
I had such great service right from the beginning up until even after wedding. Shahin was so easy going, quick to respond back to emails, and very experienced with his work. I love how he would checkup with us on certain details the day of the wedding. If there's anything in specific you want, he will deliver. Highly recommend him for any events!!!
Ginette D. October 22, 2022

Amelia and Adam June 10, 2023
They were fantastic and went above and beyond in all respects!!
10/10 would recommend every time!
Liane P. June 24, 2023
Shahin was a fantastic wedding DJ, played all of the songs we wanted and immediately got everyone from our wedding onto the dance floor after dinner! He was very responsive and professional and I would definitely recommend.
Kelsey D. September 23, 2023
Shahin was the perfect DJ for our wedding! We went the non-traditional route and was able to accommodate all of our song choices, as well as multiple song choices from guests at the wedding. Super easy to talk to and had people from ages 1.5-92 out there on the dance floor.
He was so professional and on the ball, I felt 0 stress when it came to the dj throughout our whole wedding experience!October 7, 2023
Possibly the best wedding DJ ever. He thought of things we hadn’t even realized we needed to figure out! And the music was fantastic! We gave Shahin free range to just keep the dance floor going, and he did! We only listed a few songs we absolutely hated, but didn’t ask for anything specific to be played for dancing and that was a fantastic choice – Shahin can read the room as a DJ and play what the people want to dance to. He even found any special tracks we requested for background music! He had great suggestions for “specific timing” music, such as exiting after the wedding, seating music, background music, mix/mingle music, music during photos, grand entrance music, etc. He was great with mic set up (if you’re going to wear a strapless dress but are at a big venue that needs mics, then consider hiding a wireless lapel in your hair – yes, he can even accommodate that!). It’s not often that you get compliments on how good the music was at your wedding, but we have gotten so many comments on how good the music at our wedding was. Can’t recommend Shahin highly enough.
A Wong July 27, 2024
Shahin is the best DJ ever, he was very easy to work with. He was professional and helpful and solved many of our issues before they became a problem. We chose to give him free rein of the dance floor music with no silly requests, so he was able to keep the dance floor moving and keep the party going till the end. He managed to find all our specifically requested songs including first dance, exit and entrance music. He was helpful during the planning phases of the wedding making suggestions on things we had forgotten to even think about. I don’t believe my wedding would have been half as amazing or fun if not for Shahin, he gave me the best wedding I could have imagined.
Barb N. July 27, 2024
Shahin is a lifesaver. I have never met a professional who is so kind and eager to help, I could be sending an email on a Saturday night at 1am, and I'd have a response at 8am on Sunday. Shahin was always happy to answer my questions, even when I was changing my mind on what package I wanted less than 6 months to the wedding, he has been incredibly flexible and understanding through the past year. I've never felt more supported by a vendor. On the day of, he would come check on me and my husband to make sure we were happy and enjoying ourselves, as well as checking in with timeline adjustments. We made spotify playlists for him and were very pleased to hear all of our favorite songs all night long. I truly cannot express enough how much my husband and I were thankful to have someone like Shahin there to help us relax! Highly highly recommend Shahin as your DJ if you want a fun night for yourself and your guests. We never had an empty dance floor.
