Rashaad About Me | Testimonials | My Blog

We don’t just provide entertainment... We create it!

Rashaad

Vinny and Diane were out at Fuddruckers having dinner with the family when they met Rashaad. Diane swore that Rashaad was a DJ based on how he spoke on the mic and also how he interjected fun in the announcing of the orders being ready. When they heard him say “Yo- my cousin Vinny, your orders ready” they knew they wanted to learn more. That was in 2003 and Rashaad has been with Split ever since. Rashaad is a natural when it comes to entertainment. He is witty on the mic, knows how to command a crowd’s attention and also how to manage an event. His style is a lot of fun mixed with humor and he has a personality that everyone falls in love with. He loves to entertain and it’s very evident in his performances as his energy is infectious. If you want a mellow party, he's not the man as all of Rashaad's party are high octane!

We thought that the entire process was detailed and efficient. I did not know that music had to be assigned for so many components of the wedding. The online form was very helpful in organizing it all. And, to add to it, our host and dj were amazing. Had us dancing from beginning to end! We greatly appreciate your high level of service.

Rashaad and Neil were awesome! They were absolutely wonderful! I've already recommended them and SSS to a friend of ours! Our guests had a blast and danced all night! I can't say enough great thing about the duo! They rocked! Thanks for helping to make our wedding so much fun!!

Brook Badgett

27 April 2012 We were referred to Spit Second Sound from the mother of a bride that had Vinny as a DJ at her daughters wedding. Within minutes of talking to Vinny, I knew i was going to go with Split Second Sound. While talking to Vinny about what I wanted, didn't want, and budget, I realized Vinny himself was out of our price range. We discussed packages and DJ's and he assured me they all come highly recommended by him. I can not stress enough that it does not matter what your budget is for your entertainment, you are getting THE BEST. With that thought in mind, Rashaad and Joey were better than I ever could have imagined!! Rashaad has a HUGE personality that you notice before he even opens his mouth to talk. From our initial meeting all the way to the day of, he was attentive, professional and super responsive when we had questions. The night of our wedding was smooth and I owe it all to Rashaad and Joey. Thank you so much to the whole team!

Brandy Harter

14 April 2012 So far you are the vendor that has gotten the most compliments from our wedding! Everyone loved you guys. Thank you so much for listening so well to us and our wishes! Everything was perfect!! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and will definitely be recommending you to whoever asks. Thank you so much!!

David Rogeau

5 May 2012 I wanted to thank Eric, Rashaad and your crew for the amazing job you did Saturday night.  You really did a great job and everyone had so much fun. Half of our group was from out of town and they all commented on what a fantastic DJ we had.  You did such a great job keeping the kids entertained and had everyone dancing--even the older adults.  You exceeded our expectations and really appreciate it!

Rashaad and Mike did everything perfectly! Just as Rashaad's online reviews boast, he's an amazing MC and REALLY gets the party going! When I met with him and explained that I thought it might be difficult to DJ for our reception because we had so many international guests, we threw out some ideas together on music and he made sure everything went smoothly. Even his funny commentary on our first dance, the drunk guest who dropped the glass on the floor, and the introductions made our reception so memorable. Everyone said this was the most fun wedding they've ever attended and I credit that to Rashaad and Mike.

Laura Ferguson

3 September 2011 I must say that Rashaad and Eddie were absolutely wonderful!! I truly could not have asked for a better MC than Rashaad! He was very personable and he was great to make the reception completely what my husband and I wanted.  It's not often to find a DJ that listens to you and really cares about making your wedding experience amazing.  All of my guests were very impressed that Rashaad took the time to go around and ask them what music they would like to hear and actually play it! Also, the wedding introductions we're awesome and he has the perfect voice to make everyone shine! I honestly cannot think of anything that I would have changed and I can only hope that all of your customers have as great as a experience as we did!

Amanda Collins

27 August 2011 Our reception was great! We’re really happy with how Rashaad and Mike made sure that everything went really smoothly. Our experience with Split Second Sound couldn’t have been better!

Lauren Lanford

23 July 2011 I truly enjoyed the services provided by Split Second Sound. Eddie was very professional and helped to make my event memorable. Everything ran smoothly and I could not have asked for any better DJs than Eddie and Rashaad. Rashaad is hysterical and brought such life to the party.

Kimberly Moore

25 June 2011 We got married on June 25, 2011 and we had Rashaad as our DJ. We really wanted to make sure that our DJ knew what they were doing and could really help control the flow of the evening since we didn’t have a wedding planner. Rashaad listened to what kind of music we liked, what kind of reception we wanted and really made it happen. I would use them again for any event and recommend them highly.

Melissa Mangione

12 March 2011

Our event was FABULOUS!!!!  Eric, Neil and Rashaad were amazing as were the party motivators.  We have not stopped talking about how great they were and how they kept the kids and adults engaged the entire evening.  In addition, they took control of the night and made my life so much easier so that I could actually enjoy the event. I was so thrilled with them that I cannot say enough good things or give enough compliments.

Wanda Greenfield

We just wanted to write a quick email thanking Rashad, and your company, for making our wedding day an absolute blast!

Not only did Rashaad play the music we asked, he kept the crowd upbeat while also facilitating the tedious details of the reception.  We had met with Rashaad prior to the event and felt as if he would do a great job- but he exceeded our wildest expectations.  After the wedding, the guests raved about how fun he was and how they had never been to a wedding where the D.J. worked so hard and added so much pizazz to the night.  He brings a sense of humor to his work, a trait that our crowd really loved.  Long story short, he was a hit with everyone at the reception (even the waiters and waitresses).

We are confident in saying that without Rashaad, our night may not have been so much fun- nor gone as smoothly as it did.

Anna and Oliver Travieso

7 August 2010 We had a bit of a crisis on our hands with the previous DJ that we booked through another company.  He called me within two weeks of our wedding to tell me that he could not do our wedding anymore.  As you can imagine, we were a little upset.  I called Vinny with Split Second Sound and within the hour he called us back  to fit us in last minute.  He was extremely professional and understanding.  We were very relieved to have a DJ at our wedding on short notice especially with such a quality company.  We met with our MC, Rashaad, and went over our list of songs and run of show the same week.  He performed them all with perfection.  He had a great attitude and did a great job of getting everybody on the dance floor.  We would really recommend anyone looking to use Split Second Sound for their wedding or other event.   We were extremely pleased with everything from beginning to end.

Corey

17 July 2010 I don't think I could be any happier with the quality of service our DJ's provided.  Every single guest has told my husband and I how great the "party" (which, for the majority, means the dance/music time) was.  That was all we wanted out of our wedding and Jonny and Rashaad helped to make that happen.  Aside from that we were really impressed with their professionalism...thank you so much!

Michelle VanGaasbeck

Rashaad did a great job making sure everything was covered. We had a bunch of conversations prior to the event to ensure that all the songs we wanted were played and to make sure he understood how the reception was gonna flow. He could not have done a better job! He was on top of things from the onset.  He did a great job getting everyone involved and kept the reception upbeat.  We were hoping for more of a party atmosphere rather than some stiff gathering and he was able to give us just that.

I would definitely use them again for an event or recommend them to a friend needing DJ services!  All of our expectations were met and exceeded! Mellisa and I can't thank Rashaad and Eddie enough for doing a great job at the reception. We had a great time and everyone we talk to tells us the same.

Phillip Abernathy

31 December 2009 Lee and I had a great experience with Split Second.  They acted very professionally both before and during the wedding and created the atmosphere that we wanted.  Dennis and the DJ entertainer (Rashaad) did a great job keeping the party going and getting people on the dancefloor.  It was a wonderful time and Dennis played a key role in making the night so special.  Thank you!

1 March 2008 Just wanted to let you know that we thought Rashaad did a great job! He was there on time, had all of the music that we asked for, and was very professional. We would definitely use him again. Thanks.

1 August 2009 Neil and Rashaad did an excellent job for both our ceremony and reception. We left the music selection for the reception up to the DJ's and they did a superb job choosing songs. Rashaad kept the entire evening exciting. They are a little expensive but I feel you get more than what you ask for and an unforgettable wedding

Leo Keoing

12 July 2009 We would be more than happy to be used as references for Split Second Sound.  The guys did a GREAT JOB AND WERE VERY PROFFESONIAL.  We are very pleased with the way the guys keep our Guests going and entertained.  It was a PLEASURE working with them 

Larry Geter

31 December 2012 I just wanted to say thank you for the excellent job you did with the ceremony and reception music for our wedding.  Rashaad and Neil definitely kept the party going and accommodated all of the many requests that our guests had. I appreciate all of the pre-work that Rashaad put in and felt like it really helped him to understand what we were going for on our special day.  Rashaad and Neil were both an absolute pleasure to work with, and I appreciate all of the hard work that went into our wedding!
