We hired Blue Root Entertainment for our November wedding and we could not have been happier. We had known of Cleveland's reputation as a great DJ from seeing him at previous events and he did not disappoint. We discussed our wedding and recept...ion ideas over a Zoom meeting with Cleveland and were excited with our plans.
We choose a few quiet acoustic songs for our pre-ceremony and cocktail reception and Cleveland filled the 90 minutes in flawlessly. People were complementing the music throughout the cocktail hour.
Cleveland seamlessly transitioned from the cocktail hour into the wedding reception, having our guests anticipating the entrance of the bridal party. Our grand entrance was built up with some introduction music to a rousing roar from the crowd. Cleveland then guided us into our first dance, followed by the special dances with family members. After our toasts by the maid of honor and best man, Cleveland sensed a theme of our guests and lives and launched into the Philadelphia Eagles fight song, being led by the groom.
During dinner, there were quiet and classy songs played while our guests enjoyed their meals.
Then it was on!
Cleveland had control of the room. Ourselves and our guests danced non-stop. I don't believe there was more than 1 minute throughout the night that there was not a crowd on the floor. There was line dancing, slow dances and group dances. At one point we had gathered for a family photo but we continued to dance as the photographer attempted to get the photo, so it ended up being a family dance video.
Cleveland helped us carry on a family tradition by handing the microphone to our beloved Uncle who belted out his rendition of Sweet Caroline to the enjoyment of the crowd.
As our evening was winding down, we noticed the wait staff dancing while busing the tables and serving the desserts. Afterwards, while talking with a staffer, they had mentioned how great the music was and how they were enjoying our guests dancing the night away.
Everyone had a great night.
When my bride asked me what one thing stood out about our reception, my immediate answer was that the dance floor was packed ALL night long. My best man, who is not a dancer, danced all night long and had a great time. So many of our guest had told us- that night, the next morning and when we talk about it, that we had thrown the best wedding they ever attended, a lot of that credit goes to Cleveland and they way he get thing s moving.
As an older couple, we didn't stop the fun with the old cake cutting, garter belt, bouquet toss events that tend to slow the night down. That was one thing we told Cleveland, that we would not be doing, and he took advantage of the opportunity to keep the party going.
We could not have asked for a better DJ to handle our wedding reception.
You will not be disappointed if you contact and hire Cleveland and Blue Root Entertainment, unless he is booked.
