She is totally proficient in every way - punctual, exceedingly pleasant, an expert with equipment and sound and when she sings, you'll hear the best voice in the area! On a rating scale of 1-10, she's a 20!!"

“The Personalized touches made our wedding unforgettable – Having you sing during the ceremony and throughout our reception's special moments - Our guests absolutely loved it and STILL talk about how unique (and surprising!) it was to have a singing DJ! You handled everything from before the ceremony until the last dance without a glitch, and we appreciate you so much! Thank you for all the special moments you added to our entire wedding day.”

"SO MUCH FUN!"
“We stopped by on our way up to our lake place and ended up staying until closing! Between the sparkly outfit and matching personality, great voice and awesome music, this was the best karaoke we’ve ever been to, and we've been to a lot of karaoke!
Seriously, if you care about the sound and music quality and how you sound when you sing, go with Velvet Sounds. This host really knows what she is doing and puts on an impressive show!
Thanks for the great time - Let us know when you will be back!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reserve my date?
Send a Booking Inquiry here to see if your date is available and to get a personalized quote. Your date is secured once a signed agreement and deposit are received. Availability is not guaranteed until both are completed.
Do you offer DJ, karaoke, or both?
Yes. You can book DJ, karaoke, live vocals, or any combination.
Do you customize events?
Absolutely. No cookie-cutter packages unless you want them—everything is built around your specific event, guests, and preferences. I believe that every booking, no matter how big or small should have the experience they want without limiting them to a pre-planned package. For those who don't have the time to build what they want, I do offer packages, but they are always an option, not a requirement.
How far in advance should I book?
Dates—especially weekends and peak season (May–September)—fill quickly. Early booking is strongly recommended. But I can book last minute events as long as I am available & have adequate notice for travel time and setup - usually a MINIMUM of 4-6 hours before the start of the event - If I can make it happen, I will!
What is included in your service?
Professional sound system, Emcee and hosting your event, professional wireless and wired microphones, an extensive DJ and Karaoke music library, and basic dance floor/stage lighting are included with every booking. I have multiple types of add-ons available for upgrades to any event type.
Can you perform outdoors?
Yes, with proper setup. I require a sheltered 10'x10' flat, level area for staging and performance, and at least one reliable power source (a standard power outlet) A generator is not a reliable source of power for outdoor events for multiple reasons.
A professional 8' x 8' event tent is also available if needed for equipment and performance area shading from the elements.
For all My Frequently Asked Questions:
Why Choose Velvet Sounds?
With over 30 years of experience, I bring more than just music to an event—I bring consistency, professionalism, and the ability to create the right atmosphere from start to finish.
What sets me apart is my ability to read the room and adjust in real time. No two events are the same, and I don’t rely on a scripted approach. I pay attention to your crowd, manage the flow, and keep the energy where it needs to be—whether that means building momentum on the dance floor, keeping karaoke rotations fair and engaging, or stepping in at the right moment with live vocals to elevate the experience.
I’m also someone other professionals rely on. After decades in the industry, I’m often the person called to step into events, troubleshoot sound issues, train new hosts, and make sure things run the way they should. That level of trust comes from experience, attention to detail, and knowing how to handle situations before they become problems.
Clients also appreciate that I make the process easy. I communicate clearly, show up prepared, and handle everything professionally so you don’t have to worry about the entertainment side of your event.
Most importantly, I genuinely care about what I do. I love creating an environment where people feel comfortable, have fun, and walk away remembering the experience. That’s why I have audiences and clients who come back week after week and year after year.
If you’re looking for someone who will simply play music, there are plenty of options. If you’re looking for someone who will manage the experience, engage your guests, and make your event feel seamless, that’s where I stand apart.
