We couldn’t have chosen a better band for our wedding than 'The Bottom Line'! From the very first song to the last encore, they brought an unbelievable energy that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. The star of the show was undoubtedly Stan, the lead singer, whose charisma, incredible vocals, and natural ability to engage the crowd made the night unforgettable. He didn’t just perform; he connected with everyone in the room, making the evening feel even more personal and special. His range and talent were truly outstanding – from soulful ballads to high-energy dance hits, he nailed every single song. The entire band was top-notch. Their setlist was perfectly tailored to the vibe of our wedding. They seamlessly blended classics, modern hits, and a few special requests we had, making every moment of the night feel unique and meaningful. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the band was and neither can we. The Bottom Line, with Stan at the helm, didn’t just play music; they created an experience that made our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a wedding band that will blow you and your guests away, this is the one! Highly recommend!

This review just made my day! Yes, STAN IS THE MAN! He is a great leader of the Bottom Line Band and a true performer. Thanks for trusting CLE Music Group & The Bottom Line to make it an unforgettable wedding! Best Wishes - Scott
We had the orchestra at our wedding and while their music was phenomenal, they do not really listen to you. They just go on autopilot. I asked for certain announcements and special songs to be played, those didn't happen. They messed up the timing and order of our speeches, too. When you pay 10K for a band, you don't expect these things to happen.
Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2024
Morgan: I'm so sorry that you were not 100% thrilled with the services that CLE Music Group & The Orchestra provided for you and your family. If I recall correctly, the band did play your special requests and in addition, we followed the time...
line for announcements, speeches, and other formalities that your planner relayed to us. I'm sorry if there was a disconnect between the "cooks" in the kitchen the day of, but I'm happy to hear that the music we provided was "phenomenal", which is undoubtedly the most important aspect of hiring an amazing band. In the future, we'll be sure to double-check the order of events with our wedding planners in the future. We wish you all the best! - Scott
Cleveland Music Group was so easy to work with. I will forever recommend DJ DC! He had everyone on the dance floor all night!
Response from the Vendor on 08/22/2024
Thanks for your awesome 5-star review of CLE Music Group & DJ DC, Morgan. Best Wishes & Congrats - Scott
Any questions?
CMG is a breeze to work through for booking and communication. Shout out to Scott who was able to put a lock on one band and watch another while we made up our mind. His roster of talent is incredible and you can't go wrong no matter what band you pick.
That being said, The Avenue blew us away at our 9/30/23 wedding! We still get comments from guests about how much fun they had dancing. Thank you to Tiffany and the band members for an amazing evening and memories we will cherish forever.
Response from the Vendor on 02/18/2024
You just made my weekend. Thanks for sharing your kind 5-star review of Me, CLE Music Group and The Avenue. Best Wishes & congrats! - Thanks again, Scott
We booked the band "No Bad Juju" through Cleveland Music Group and could not have been happier. Everyone at Cleveland Music Group were great to work with. Mark, band leader & MC, and the band, were phenomenal, providing great direction and playing their hearts out. Great people to work with. I would highly recommend "No Bad Juju" from Cleveland Music Group for your wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2023
Love this 5-star review, Shane. Thanks for working with us here at CLE Music Group & No Bad JuJu. Best Wishes & Congrats! - Scott
Cleveland Music Group performed at a wedding we were hosting at an outdoor venue (Lago Custom Events) last week on 10/6/2023. If you are from Cleveland, you know that the weather can go from sunny to snowy, and back to sunny again in just a few hours. An unexpected wind storm came in, blowing furniture and glassware off the bars. While the staff at the venue handled the unexpected weather disruptions, Cleveland Music Group & Difrent Vibez kept the party going while the weather attempted to bring chaos. There's NO WAY this wedding would have continued to run without a beat without these guys. They handled everything professionally, while keeping the party going. As an event coordinator I was extremely grateful to be working with vendors that could not only handle an extreme situation, but keep the guests happy without disruption. Thank you Difrent Vibez for continuing to do your job and go above and beyond to keep this wedding party party-ing! Job well done.
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2023
Thanks for your kind review. This was a challenging one for sure. Mother Nature was not being kind to us at all. Glad we all pull through, with only a few things damaged! :) - Scott
Our guests were blown away by The Perfect Choice Band! They were outstanding! All of the musicians were talented and energetic. Our wedding planner told us after the event that she had never had a reception with a dance floor that packed. We received numerous compliments about the band and many guests told us that they were the best wedding band ever. Eric with The Perfect Choice Band was super friendly and helpful. He MC'd our introductions and dances flawlessly. He was very engaged prior to our event and made himself available to join our planning meetings. The song list was full of fun tunes that our crowd loved. I was particularly impressed by the range of songs they were able to perform. The singers were incredible... we all know pulling off a Beyonce song isn't easy. I would choose the Perfect Choice Band over and over again. Booking the band via The Cleveland Music Group was super easy. Terms and pricing were very reasonable. 10/10 would recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 09/24/2023
Thanks for your amazing 5-star review. We're so happy you enjoyed working with Eric and "The Perfect Choice Band". They are one of the best, that's for sure. From all of us here at CLE Music Group - Best Wishes & Congrats! - Scott
From day one, cleveland music group has been amazing to work with!!!! We had Radiate Live at our wedding this past weekend and they were amazing. Always kept the energy HIGH and are just great all around people!!! They made our wedding reception unforgettable ! They did a set for cocktail hour and then reception alongside our DJ we had chosen and they knocked it all out of the park!
Response from the Vendor on 09/09/2023
YAY! Thanks for the kind review of CLE Music Group and Radiate Live. They truly are a special band. Thanks for trusting us to make sure your reception was unforgettable. Best Wishes & Congrats!
All we wanted on our big day was for our dance floor to be jam packed all night long. Thanks to our band The Avenue, our wish came true! They got the vibes just right and sang their hearts out all night long! They were absolutely INCREDIBLE and I cannot thank them enough for making this night unforgettable. We had so many compliments about the band and how nobody had ever seen a dance floor so crowded for so long. Thank you for the best evening!
Response from the Vendor on 08/21/2023
Love your review of CLE Music Group and "The Avenue". We're so glad they had the dance floor jam packed all night long! Best Wishes & Congrats - Scott
If you're trying to show up and show out, if you're trying to GET DOWN and GET AROUND on that floor... this band is for you. If floor stomping, booty rockin' tunes isn't your thing, then you should just pass this review up, you don't need these guys. They're too cool, too professional, too effective as entertainers... unless you're trying to take it to the limit.
Remember Liam Neeson's character in 'Taken'? His unique set of skills that make him very effective? That's THE ELEMENT, expect instead of torturing Albanian human trafickers, their business is PARTYING and business is booming. These guys are like the John Wick or Seal Team 6 of wedding bands without all the dead dogs and heliocopter crashes. Skilled operators.
The Element Band, not AN element, THE element. These guys are the Carbon, or Hyrdogen for your party, the building blocks of it's LIFE. Invigorate your party and hire them.
Also spring for the brass and woodwind instruments. Erin Rossi was like an event manager once she showed up SUPER helpful and kept the timeline of the event moving along. Awesome band, the guests all complimented me on them.
Response from the Vendor on 08/17/2023
OMG. Not only are you funny with this review, you are spot on accurate. THE ELEMENT is legit. Thanks for trusting us here at CLE Music Group. I'll pass along your amazing words to Tony, Erin and the Guys. - All the best!
Music city sound is THE BEST BAND! WOW! This 10 piece band was amazing and great to work with! They played music from all genres and decades which was perfect for our wedding. Our guests cannot stop raving about how this is the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding! We want to throw another event just to bring them back! 10/10!!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/01/2023
Congrats Whitney! Thanks for using Music City Sound & CLE Music Group Group. Let's do it again! Best Wishes & congrats! - Scott
My husband and I are so glad we choose The Element band (5 piece) for our wedding day! The live music was such a special element to our wedding day. Our guests have been raving about them!! The lead singer Erin was also wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding. The band also allowed my dad and I to use their set-up and instruments to perform our own song. The band incorporated our requested songs beautifully in their set list and kept the party going! We are so glad we chose the Element and recommend it to anyone looking for a band!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/01/2023
Amazing review! Thanks for the kind and thoughtful 5star review of "The Element" and CLE Music Group. From all of us...best wishes & congrats! - Scott
The Element is an amazing band with very kind and wonderful people. Erin was amazing to plan with before the wedding, she also helped to bring life to the dance floor. One of the members also learned our first dance song for us and did an amazing job, it meant a lot to us. They truly helped make our day very special and meaningful.
Response from the Vendor on 07/18/2023

We hired The Avenue from CMG and they were amazing! The energy that the band brought to our wedding was fantastic. The lead singer, Tiffany, was fantastic to work with and she pulled my nieces and nephews up on stage to dance during their sets. They had everyone on the dance floor and played all of the songs we wanted to hear. They made us feel so special and made our wedding even better!
Response from the Vendor on 05/24/2023

First let me say, I loved being able to have one vendor for DJ, Photo Booth, Ceremony Music and Uplighting. Our Photo Booth and attendant were great! And our ceremony musician, a solo violinist was fantastic. What left quite a bit to be desired was our DJ.
We had selected a DJ, who we adored very early on in our planning. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected issue and our DJ was unable to perform at our event. So at approx. 1 month out, we had to select from 2 DJs that were still available. I have absolutely no doubt that if we had our original DJ, we would have given them all 5 stars.
In the initial planning, we had a quick phone call with the first DJ where we hashed out a ton of details. When we had to select the new DJ, I asked for a similar planning call and he brushed me off, asking me to complete a Word document style, 6 page form. It was a poor format and required a ton of details that I wasn’t fully prepared to answer yet. He didn’t schedule a call until 4 days prior to our event, at which point we finally learned that he operated quite differently from our original DJ. And he didn’t match our style and would not have been our choice, but by that point we didn’t have any other options.
He didn’t volunteer any of the details that we had discussed with the original DJ and I had to ask a lot of probing questions to gather that he didn’t bring his own table or linens (when my rental order had already been finalized), that he brought an assistant (when my catering order had been finalized) and he that he wasn’t a mixing DJ, which was what we had been expecting. Given the short turn around, we didn’t have another choice. We had a set list of 20 songs that he was going to play and an 8 song medley that he was going play at 9:30 PM.
For the event, he did not play many of the 20 songs we had listed. He lost the crowd a couple times and my MOH had to go speak with him to bring the energy back. His solution was a slow dance, which she told him not to do. So he found me, to ask me what I wanted and I had to step away from talking to a guest to confirm that a slow dance was not the right call. At another point, I had to go find him because he was outside and a song I had never heard before was playing, with an empty dance floor.
In the prep sheet, I documented that after a certain point in the night he should be playing the explicit version of songs. This wasn’t discussed on the call, so I didn’t think it was an issue. However, when he finally played some of our favorite songs he played the clean version. I had to stop in the middle of dancing to ask him to restart with the explicit version, which he didn’t have. He said he only had the clean version of the songs we requested. And he just skipped others without warning.
He totally skipped the 8 song medley we had agreed upon, without any discussion with us. And we had told our guests that it would be played at 9:30, but it never happened. I don’t believe he even prepared it to play.
During our event, he did not bring an assistant but I had prepped my tips to include an additional person. By the time I had realized this, the tips had been handed out and I couldn’t retrieve the additional, unearned tip.
Again, I don’t think we would have had any issue had we been able to stick with our original DJ. But we understand completely why they were unable on our date. I really would recommend CMG for other couples, but I can’t in good conscience recommend DJ Dan Cormier (DJ DC).

Kori: First off, Happy New Year. Thanks for using CLE Music Group. I appreciate your fair and honest review. I'm sorry that you weren't completely pleased with all of the services we provided for you and your husband. That's never a good f...
eeling. I am happy however that you were pleased with the Violinist, Lighting and Photo Booth Services. As you noted in your review, we did have to change the DJ due to a health issue for your originally contracted DJ. I'm totally bummed we missed the mark with DJ DC. He's one of our best and most requested DJs. I am going to share your review with Dan, discuss it with him and make sure we are better prepared for all future events, couples and clients. Trust me, your review will help us to better improve our services moving forward, so for that, I thank-you. On behalf of my entire team here at CLE Music Group, I wish you all the best. Congrats - Scott
We used Virginia (Ginny, Harpist) and it was def the best decision, modern and beautiful music. Definitely made the ceremony that much more special!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/04/2022
Thanks for your review of our harpist, Ginni Dickson, as well. She's an amazing talent. I'm so glad you enjoyed our services - Scott
The Avenue through CMG was the best decision we made for our wedding. Not only is Tiffany so friendly and an incredible band leader/wedding entertainment expert, CMG was fantastic communicators, and it was the BEST band we could have asked for. Our guests said they were the best wedding band they had ever danced to. We didn't want the night to end!
Response from the Vendor on 09/20/2022
You just made my day! Thanks for the amazing review of CLE Music Group, "The Avenue" and Tiffany. It was a pleasure working with you, Elisabeth. Best Wishes & Congrats - Scott
We hired both our ceremony and reception band through Cleveland Music Group and couldn't be happier with the outcomes! The Sonata Strings were super flexible and easy to work with and everyone at the ceremony loved the music. Similarly, Radioactive was an absolute hit at the reception. We got so many compliments on the band and they truly made sure everything went the exact way we were hoping. They had a perfect blend of the various types of music we enjoy. I'd highly recommend these bands and booking through Cleveland Music Group as it made the wedding planning process so much easier for us!
Response from the Vendor on 09/19/2022
Thanks for your amazing review of our services, Charity. We're so glad you enjoyed our Sonata Strings & RadioActive. From all of us at CLE Music Group, we wish you all the best! Congrats! - Scott
The Orchestra was amazing. We wanted a band that would keep our guests of all ages dancing all night, and they delivered. They brought so much energy and fed off the vibe of our guests, seamlessly transitioning across decades as the makeup of our dance floor changed over the course of our night. Since our wedding, we’ve heard from many of our guests (nearly all of whom traveled from the East and West Coasts) how great The Orchestra was. Working with Scott at Cleveland Music Group during the planning process was a breeze. He was very responsive and helped with many additional elements of our day, including ceremony sound and stage.
Response from the Vendor on 09/08/2022
What a great review to wake up to in the morning! :) Thanks for working with us here at CLE Music Group. We're so glad you and your family enjoyed "The Orchestra". Best wishes & congrats. We hope to see you on the dance floor at another we...

We hired The Element from Cleveland Music Group and it was AMAZING. I met Erin at a bridal show and felt so comfortable chatting with her. She helped us so much with the set list and order of events. Erin even helped me figure out how to incorporate my father who has pretty advanced Alzheimer’s. Everyone is still talking about how great the band was and we’d have to agree. It was quite a party and they are such a talented group. Couldn’t ask for anything better.
Response from the Vendor on 08/26/2022
Thanks for your kind review, Samantha. The Element is an amazing band and I'm so glad you trusted us to provide your entertainment. I'll pass along your kind words to Tony, Erin, and the rest of the band. Best Wishes & Congrats. - Scott
We hired The Orchestra for our wedding outside of Columbus, OH (technically Granville, OH). Unlike most brides, my #1 priority for the wedding was finding an incredible band that was larger than the typical 4ish persons group, played multiple genres/styles and wouldn't break the bank. The Orchestra was EVERYTHING. They were single-handedly the best part of our wedding and are what we receive the most compliments about from guests. I mean, who covers Whitney Houston and kills it?? The brass section came to the dance floor for a few songs and everyone loved it. Our families are already trying to think of events where we can justify hiring the CMG again!
Response from the Vendor on 08/15/2022
What a way to start our MONDAY! Thanks for your amazing (and kind) review of CLE Music Group & "The Orchestra". Best wishes & congrats! - Scott
For our wedding we hired the Element from Cleveland Music Group and were absolutely thrilled with their performance! From a planning perspective working with Tony was easy, as he was communicative and both sought out and valued our input. We had a few special requests that the group was more than happy to oblige. Erin MC’d our wedding and did a stand-out job keeping us on schedule, getting our guests involved, and ensuring our night was just what we wanted. They have an expansive musical selection which each band member can perform expertly and left our guests wowed! We had so much fun dancing the night away with our family and friends, you will not regret hiring this extremely talented group for your wedding / event!
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2022
You just made my day! Thanks for the wonderful review of "The Element' and CLE Music Group. I'm so glad you enjoyed their performance and working with Erin, Tony and CLE Music Group. Best Wishes & Congrats! - Scott
Scott and his team at the CMG were SO talented and helpful! Not only did they coordinate three different musical styles (for rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, and reception) but they were all so incredibly TALENTED and wonderful - our guests are still raving to this day how fabulous our live music was! I am so appreciative of their amazing work and I'm glad I have had the pleasure to enjoy them on the happiest day of my life!

We were so lucky to have The Element from CMG at our wedding! From start to finish they were amazing!!

We were lucky to book Radiate Live for our wedding in early June at Music Box Supper Club. Besides being incredibly talented, they brought an amazing energy to our reception. They were engaging and clearly fed off our energy too. Our dance floor was full all night long. They took our requests to heart and listened to our input in the initial call we had with Ashley. Thank you to the band for an exceptional evening. We still have guests raving about how much fun they had on the dance floor!
Response from the Vendor on 06/30/2022
Thanks for your killer review of Ashley and "Radiate Live". They truly are something special. Thanks for working with all of us here at CLE Music Group. Best Wishes & Congrats! - Scott
We absolutely loved The A Band and CLE music group. Scott Jones took care of everything - we CMG for our ceremony guitarist, ceremony A/V, uplighting, and the band!
Pete Cavano on guitar was fantastic. He was communicative, learned a new song for us, and made everything more special with his lovely music.
Dwayne and the A Band were FANTASTIC. We couldn’t stop dancing, and everyone has been complimenting us on the band. They were so high energy, talented, professional… I can’t say enough good things. BOOK THEM!!!!

The band Radiate Live played at my daughter's wedding. It was arranged through Cleveland Music Group. I cannot say enough good things about the band. They were excellent. The music was great and the energy they brought was amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests on the band and they really made the evening special.
Even the programmed music between the band sets was great.
CLE Music Group was easy to work with. Highly recommend working with CLE Music Group and Radiate Live.

We hired The Avenue from the Cleveland Music Group & six months later, our guests are still raving about the band (truly). Tiffany and her band members had our guests on the dance floor from the moment she took the mic. She is so thoughtful and talented. She goes above and beyond for her clients and we're so grateful to have had them play at our wedding! Look no further if you're in the Ohio area!! They will absolutely, without a doubt, make your wedding the event of the year!!

We wanted to have strings play during our ceremony in Akron and CMG did NOT disappoint! We shared a list of songs we wanted to have for the processional and my entrance and they worked with us figure out other songs that their quartet could play while guests arrived. Management was great to work with to coordinate the location and needs of the musicians. We received so many compliments following the ceremony. We highly recommend having CMG play at your wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 12/22/2021
Happy Holidays Shelby. Thanks so much for your kind review of CLE Music Group and our Sonata Strings. It was a pleasure working with you to make your wedding ceremony perfect. Best Wishes & Congrats - Scott
We had the string trio play live music at our wedding ceremony and couldn’t be happier! They played so beautifully (even in a wine cellar with bad acoustics and echos). They were able to play a variety of music and the songs included everything we wanted. 100% recommend for live ceremony music!

The Element was the perfect band for our wedding reception. Erin worked with us through many changes and postponements due to COVID. She is flexible and professional in every aspect. Erin, Tony, Rick, and all the musicians were beyond what we had hoped and envisioned! We have heard from all our guests how wonderful and talented the band is! We cannot recommend The Element enough for any event!

My husband and I used DJ Scott for our 10/2/20. In the midst of the craziness DJ Scott was there for us every step of the way.
Boy, did he deliver the day of our wedding! Our dance floor was packed the entire night! He was absolutely incredible and so incredibly kind!
I wish we could relive this day over and over again.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

We worked with Kim A from Cleveland Music Group for our wedding and she was absolutely wonderful! A pleasure to work with and so responsive.
Through Cleveland Music Group we booked the band Radiate Live for our wedding. Not only did they sound amazing… but they were an absolute blast! They came out into the crowd and danced, sang, and totally added to the fun. One of our guests in his 60’s said, “I’ve been to a lot of weddings… this was by far the best band I have ever heard at a wedding!” Our guests even chanted for an encore at the end… and they gave us one!
Everyone was great, the MC was so engaging, lead vocals were so good, the band was awesome, and Ashley (one of the lead singers) was so communicative prior to the wedding and a pleasure to work with.
If you’re looking for a wedding band, 100% hire them and also please invite me to your wedding so I can see them again! :)

We hired The Element from CMG and from start to finish they were EVERYTHING we wanted in a wedding band and more. Leader singer Erin and Cleveland Music Group was easy to work with, quick to respond, and made us feel so special from first contact. We were provided with multiple opportunities to see them live before making our decision and Erin even came over when we came to see them just to welcome and congratulate us. The band was also incredibly accommodating giving us a say in what was played and having no ego whatsoever about me (the bride) wanting to perform a few songs with them. As for the talent, it doesn't get better than The Element. I come from a family of musicians and we are critical and particular- The Element did not disappoint. Erin's voice is liquid gold and every musician is perfection. The band created the entire amazing vibe for our reception and people never left the dance floor. All of our guests were floored by this band, many saying "best wedding band I've ever seen!" I could not agree more. If you're debating DJ or Band, trust me, hire a band, and make sure it's The Element! It will be worth it!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Love this review of The Element. They are truly amazing. From all of us here at CLE Music Group & The Element Band...Best Wishes & Good Luck - Cheers!, Scott.
We had The Element band at our wedding. They were incredible! Our dance floor stayed full all night thanks to Erin and Tony & the rest of the band. Both during the evening and the next morning I heard over and over again from guests how amazing they thought the band was. They play a wide array of music which was great to motivate all of our guests to dance. They have really amazing voices & instrumental talent, too. My mom said she loved how each member got a spotlight at some point in the evening. If I were doing it again, I would absolutely hire The Element. Thank you so, so much!!

THANK YOU so much for your kind words. From all of us here at CLE Music Group, Erin, Tony and the rest of "The Element", THANK YOU & Congrats. We wish you all the best that life has to offer. - Scott E. Jones
We booked Harry Bacharach as our pianist for our ceremony through Cleveland Music Group. He did such a great job and even learned songs for us! He’s amazing and I highly recommend him.

Thanks for your awesome reviews Kimberly! We are so glad you hired Harry & DJ London Bridges. Best Wishes & many congrats to you both - Scott
The Element was AWESOME. Our wedding was 3 months ago and people are still talking about how good they are! Erin was such a good MC and kept everything running smoothly throughout the evening. They played all the songs we wanted plus so many more. The dance floor was packed from their first song! I would 100% recommend them!!!

Thanks for your review of The Element Kelly. We're so glad you chose CLE Music Group, Erin Rossi & The Element. Congrats! Cheers to many years of wedding bliss - Kindly - Scott
The Avenue was the band at our daughters wedding a year ago. We STILL have people comment on how fantastic they were. Someone actually said "yours was the dancingest wedding we have ever been to" A made up word but it caught the sentiment. The whole reception started with the idea of an amazing band and they filled the bill. And, even more amazing, you never knew when they went on break, it was so seamless, the floor was still packed with just an ipod! Cannot recommend enough if having the crowd on the dance floor is a priority!

Thanks for your kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed "The Avenue" here at CLE Music Group. Please keep us in mind for any other family wedding! :) - Scott
Cleveland music group was a great vendor to work with. We had trouble finding a bagpiper for our outdoor wedding and CMG came through. They were professional and quick to respond. The bagpiper who came was fantastic and brilliantly talented. Highly recommended.

Thanks for having us be a part of your big day. Best Wishes & Congrats!
Judi Chevrolet was tremendous! She was responsive to our guests' requests and included all of the favorites we had shared before the big day. Judi had us on the dance floor all night!
The BEST band in Cleveland for a wedding is the SLY Band! Thank you Cleveland Music Group and the SLY Band for a night we will never forget. There is nothing like a live band at a wedding and the SLY Band delivered. Not only did our guests dance the night away, but so did the band. The best!!
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Cleveland Music Group. Our band selection, Radio Active, was perfect! Our gusts were dancing the entire night thanks to their great mix of song selections.
We had a great experience working with Cleveland Music Group and Match City! They were so easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and were so helpful! Match City was awesome! Our guests were dancing all night and said how great and fun they were! Would definitely recommend!
Cleveland Music Group was a pleasure to work with. We were on the hunt for the perfect band for our wedding. Cleveland Music Group facilitated us seeing lots of bands in the area, and they were all so amazing! We had The Avenue at our wedding reception, and they were incredible. They played non-stop music, had seamless transitions between songs, and sounded amazing. Our guests were dancing all night long! Tiffany was a great MC as well for the dances, speeches, and cake cutting and they coordinated introductions and our preferred songs so well. Thank you Cle Music Group!
The Orchestra was absolutely amazing!! We danced all night to their line up of incredible songs!! So much fun
for them to usher in midnight for us NYE! Dwayne knows
how to get the party rocking and keep them rocking!
Sonata Strings was beautiful for our ceremony. Cleveland Music Group is highly recommended for all of your music needs, lighting too. Scott is very professional
and wonderful to work with.
I have had two weddings in two years and I have used the Cleveland Music Group for both! I have another wedding I'm sure soon to happen and I would not think of hiring anyone but them. We had the Avenue for our second wedding and first of all I'am so happy I payed for the extra 1/2 hour. People were packed on the dance floor from the time they started until the very last song! They were PHENOMENAL! Tiffany was so nice to work with called us back emailed when needed and got back with us right away. They were all so professional. I honestly have never seen a dance floor packed like ours was the entire night. People were asking me all night for their names for there weddings. Compliments were flowing for weeks after how awesome the band was and how it made for a perfect night. We all know how the food and band are the most important elements of the wedding. Thank you Tiffany and the Avenue for making my daughter and new son-in-laws wedding at the Union Club a dream come true wedding! You guys are the very best! Highly recommend them!
Tony is absolutely amazing! He hooked us up with the best band possible! We LOVED Match City! Several of our guests have asked to see them perform again! They were awesome!
We used CLE music group for everything. From streaming cocktail hour music, to ceremony music (Carmen, harp, WOW!!!!) and finally our band (TCB - talk about talent). It was a blast. Folks that took a break from dancing told me that they felt they were at a concert and still had fun because The Company Best was just that good. I’d recommend trying to work out how you can buy out as many breaks as possible - it is well worth the extra $$$ to keep the fun going!
The Avenue... let's discuss. ONLY hire this band if you want to have the best night of your life. The Avenue showed up, threw down, and left nothing on the table. My guests filled the dance floor before the first lyric was sung of their first song and did not leave the dance floor until they kicked us out. Tiffany, the band leader, is an absolute joy to work with. She was organized, professional, she listened to our needs and went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams. If you are thinking about hiring them and just haven't done it yet--- act now. It's the easiest decision you can make.
Wow! From the start, working with Scott and Tiffany with The Avenue was great! Being in the industry of weddings, I often saw The Avenue plan at the venue I work at but what a completely different role I had when we asked them to play for our wedding. Our initial meeting in choosing the right band for our crowd with Scott was so informative. He really took what my husband and I liked and matched us with the best band. Through the planning process, Tiffany was always available for me. Even texting late night as we got closer to ensure that the room set was appropriate for what we wanted and what was best for them to set. The band learned a few different songs for us including "A Simple Man" by Lynrd Skynyrd (guitar solo and all) and it was PHENOMENAL. Our guests remained on the dance floor the entire night and chanted at the end, one more song. The Avenue is what made our wedding night unforgettable. Thank you to CLE Music Group and The Avenue!
We had DJ Bill Bowen and our wedding honestly couldn't have gone better. Not only did he do a great job musically but he gave us helpful insight about timing and spacing for the reception! During our reception we had some odd ball music requests and he played every one of them. All of our guests had a great time and I would highly recommend him!
DJ Eric Smith was AMAZING to work with! We planned our wedding from afar and Eric was extremely accommodating of our schedules (and time zone difference!) when scheduling calls to discuss our timeline and playlist. His calm, relaxed energy was MUCH appreciated during the stressful planning process. Eric and our wedding planner kept the night moving along at just the right pace and easily accommodated a small hiccup that delayed our first dance. He played all of the (many, many) songs we requested, arranged them perfectly, and filled in the rest of the evening with just the right music. Our friends and family had the best time on the dance floor. DJ Eric helped make our wedding a perfect day!
Cleveland Music Group did a tremendous job by providing my husband and I with an enormous selection of DJs, Bands and Strings to make our wedding day perfect. DJ Dave was absolutely amazing and accommodating to all our needs in terms of song selections and hosting our event! He was enthusiastic, great demeanor and seemed thrilled to be djing our wedding!
The strings were OUTSTANDING! I grew up playing violin and had always dreamt of a quartet at my ceremony! They made my dream come true! They were wonderful!
DJ Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with. He met us at our venue walkthrough to help determine an ideal setup for everything, got us set up with additional lighting and a photobooth, and facilitated any questions we had leading up to our wedding day. He played a TON of our requests (both on our list and guest requests at the event) and avoided any Do Not Play songs we had requested. He emceed the event spot-on, then had the dance floor packed for hours. I could not have a higher recommendation for a DJ! Eric made our wedding night one to remember
We used CLE Music Group after shopping around a bit and realizing that we could get three vendors checked off with this one company: live musicians for the ceremony, a DJ for the reception, and a photo booth. Our sales rep Tony was incredible to work with - very responsive and willing to work with us to get the best package deal. Our ceremony musician, John Toula, was a stellar acoustic guitarist whom many of my guests asked about after the ceremony to know who he was and tell me how good he was. JT was accommodating and responsive during our planning process also, and was very excited for us. We did the Best Choice DJ program to choose our DJ and we landed with Bill Bowen, who was incredible and totally understood what we were going for during all aspects of the night without much explaining. He kept the dance floor packed all night and even let us do dedication songs. I couldn't have picked a better DJ with my limited knowledge, so I loved having this cheaper option where we saved money on the DJ but still got someone great. And lastly, we worked with Angel for our open air photobooth needs and she let me customize our print-offs so that the font and background matched my stationery, which was awesome. She also kept a copy of each picture people took and put them in a box as a keepsake for us, and then gave us a flash drive of all the pictures! Everyone at CLE Music Group was super easy to work with. There's no other place we'd go for a one-stop shop for our music needs. Thank you!
The Element is the perfect band to help you celebrate your special day! They played at our wedding, and we are so happy they did -- the dance floor was full the entire night. Everyone had too much fun dancing to their amazing music, which ranged from Frank Sinatra to today's Top 40. This is an incredibly talented group, and they were so easy to work with, which was much appreciated. Cannot recommend them enough!
Eric Smith of Cleveland Music Group was AMAZING. Every song he played was exactly what my husband and I envisioned dancing to. The dance floor was filled the entire night. Our guests complimented us on our song selections and how fun it was to dance the night away. Eric spent time with us before the big day to go over details and provided really helpful suggestions for the reception timeline. We LOVED Eric and we are so grateful to have had him as our DJ!
We hired the A Band for our August 31st wedding and couldn’t have made a better choice! The leader Dwayne was a pleasure to work with. They kept the party going all night long as our dance floor was packed with all ages! I loved when they came down
onto the dance floor to interact with our guests! We got so many compliments about the band. We would and will recommend them over and over! Thank you!!
DJ Eric Smith took our song suggestions and perfectly executed the evening's music, from a more classic cocktail hour to nonstop fun and dancing all night! With just a few suggestions, he was able to perfectly gauge what songs to play, and there was never a lull. Our guests told us they loved how he kicked off the dancing as well as how he finished the night.
Scott Jones was our DJ for our wedding at the Hyatt Arcade! He kept everything moving and people on the dance floor all night! HIGHLY recommend him for his professionalism, energy and over all skill at feeling out a room!
DJ Eric Smith was amazing!! He is so professional, organized, and just really fun to work with. He took the time to make sure he knew exactly what my husband and I wanted at our wedding reception. He did a great job keeping things on schedule with the toasts, dances, etc. and worked really well with our photographer. We had a couple of last-minute changes, which he handled for us no problem. We got so many compliments on the music and the dance floor - our family and friends had an absolutely BLAST which was so important to us! Everyone was dancing - from our 8 year old cousins to our 80 year old grandparents! Eric did a phenomenal job with the music selection, and every single song he chose we loved. On top of that he played all the songs we asked for (including some that we thought might be hard to find), and also played our guest's requests which was something we really wanted! My brother recently got engaged, and he and his fiance immediately booked Eric after seeing him in action at our wedding reception. We would highly recommend DJ Eric Smith and the Cleveland Music Group!
We had DJ Eric Smith for our wedding and he was amazing! He kept the dance floor packed all night-we received multiple compliments about how good the music was. We had a blast!
We also used the Open Air Photobooth-it was a huge hit as well!
From the first phone conversation to the end of the wedding reception, Cle Music Group did a greatgreat job & I can highly recommend them.
PJ the DJ was professional & likable.
We hired Sunrise Jones Band through the Cleveland music group for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. We got soooo many complements about the band and everyone from the kids to the grandmas were dancing. Now we need to find an excuse to have another big party and have them play again!
We are so glad we chose Cleveland Music Group for our wedding! Scott, the owner, was so attentive and helpful - he responded to emails very quickly and was always happy to answer any questions we had, making the whole process much easier and less stressful! We chose DJ GAZ who did the music for both our ceremony and reception, and he was perfect! He had guests out on the dance floor all night and played a wide variety of songs which everyone loved! I would highly recommend this company!
We had The Element for our wedding and they were beyond phenomenal. Erin, their lead singer, was a doll. She was so bubbly and kind, and really wanted to make sure that we picked the right band for our big day. We wanted everyone dancing and having a blast at our reception, and after watching them perform at Brother's Bar, it was clear they could make it happen.
They sent us a list of their songs and it was perfect for us. We met with Erin and she walked us through the timeline. She was so professional and organized. She acted at MC for the day as well. She recommended kicking off the night with Hava Nageela, which was something we'd never seen before. They had nearly all of our 300 guests on the dance floor, and it stayed packed throughout the night. They have a talent for reading a crowd and keeping the party going at the best pace.
Erin and Tony do the lead vocals and they are both SO talented and versatile. They brought their own equipment and lighting, and even played cocktail hour music through Erin's personal speaker for us.
My husband and I wanted to do our first dance to a song that wasn't on the list and the band learned it for us.
Overall, I couldn't be more enthusiastic about how wonderful The Element was. If you like to dance and enjoy Jazz, classic rock, Motown, pop and country BOOK THE ELEMENT!!!!
We have nothing but great things to say about Cleveland Music Group (CMG) and our DJ, Andy. From the beginning, we met with CMG to evaluate our needs and that meeting is what sealed the deal for us. They weren't about selling us the most elaborate package. They listened to what we wanted and gave recommendations from there. We were paired up with DJ Andy and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we met Andy, he was AWESOME. He felt our vibe and personalities, offered suggestions and understood what we were after. We danced the night away at our wedding and he was absolutely perfect. Hire Cleveland Music Group, you won't be disappointed.
The Orchestra played at our wedding reception and I cannot express enough how AMAZING they were! Everyone, all ages, were on the dance floor having a blast! Every band member was incredible and to say they were the best band I have ever heard at a wedding is an understatement. They even were on the dance floor with us interacting with everyone! Family and friends are still raving about how exceptional the band was. Cannot recommend them enough!!! Thank you Cleveland Music Group!
The Element was the best choice we made when it came to vendors at our wedding. The dance floor was packed - guests didn’t want to take a break because the next song was better than the last! They interacted with our guests and made sure everyone was having a blast. Working with Erin Rossi on all the details was so reassuring. She is such a professional and was available for all the questions along the way. The photo booth was a riot - guests were having so much fun! Thank you, Cleveland Music Group!
My experience was very average. Our DJ seemed very knowledgeable in the process, but on the day of, he did not deliver. He failed to contact me prior to the wedding (contract said 4-6 weeks, but I had to contact him 2 weeks before), he looked at the timeline before the wedding day but did not follow what I laid out (directed my guests to the wrong locations), and then failed to play my requests of music on the planning sheet (I had my brother go talk to him about modernizing the music for both the reception and dinner, music we had already talked through). My wedding was perfect, but this was my least favorite vendor choice.
We are so glad that we chose The Avenue as our wedding band. Since we live out of town we were a little nervous to book a band based off of online videos, but The Avenue was perfect! Tiffany, the band leader, was so easy to work with and she listened to all our requests. They definitely kept people on the dance floor the whole evening- would highly recommend!
We used Judi Cheverolet and had an absolute blast! I cannot tell you how many people were on the dance floor the whole night! She brought instruments for people to play along with (cowbells, drums sticks...) and it was such added extra fun! I’ve had multiple people contact me already asking for her number. And PRCING could not be any better.
We used bot the string trio and live band (Radioactive) for our wedding. The strings were lovely for the ceremony and cocktail hour- just as I imagined! Radioactive was a HIT! I had multiple people at my wedding say they forgot a band was playing because they did every song SO WELL. Music makes or breaks the wedding and choosing a live band was one of the best decisions we made. The sound was on point, not too loud and ear piercing and the song choices were perfect. We loved every second of Radioactive!
We used DJ Chris Wallace! We were very impressed. CMG and Chris were wonderful to work with. It’s so neat that the company has a dj for everyone’s needs and price range. Would definitely use again and would recommend!
DJ PJ Carmack is amazing and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to keep a party strong and full of dancing. He did an fantastic job of putting together a playlist that fit my fiancé’s style and mine. Truly completed our wedding day and owe him so much to the successful celebration.
I booked DJ Chris Wallace for my June 9th wedding and he was absolutely awesome!! He understood everything we wanted, kept the reception going fluidly, and then kept the dance floor full the whole night. We had multiple people comment how great his music choices were, and he even found and accommodated one super random song we asked for that is not usually on the charts! Great company, easy to work with and loved DJ Chris!
We had the pleasure of booking Christian Dela Vega for our wedding reception. He was personable, professional, and above all else an excellent MC and DJ. His communication throughout the planning process was timely and friendly. Throughout the reception, Christian played all of the songs my wife and I had chosen and of course the rest of the selections he chose were great. We had guests on the floor all night long and we had compliments from many about how good Christian was doing. I would definitely reccommend him to anyone looking for a DJ, our reception hall even asked for his info so they could begin reccommending him to their future couples. It was a great experience and we really enjoyed the night, thanks, in part, to Christian's performance.
We utilized the Simple Booth (open-air photo booth) for our wedding and got so many positive comments about how awesome it was! Our guests loved getting the pictures sent to their phones right away and it was easy to use and affordable!
We booked The Avenue for our wedding reception and could not possibly have been more impressed. The band is tight, the vocals are spot on, we loved the set list and the sound was perfect for the venue. There wasn't a moment that someone wasn't on the dance floor while they were playing. They were the best band I have ever heard at a wedding, and many of our guests said the same. Book them, if you can, you won't be disappointed!!!
We really liked our DJ, Chris, but he dropped the ball a couple times.
First, he came up to me, the bride, and my mother, who was supposed to have a surprise dance with my now husband during the reception since his mother passed away two months before our wedding. We stated that we wanted this to be a surprise multiple times at both our meeting and on the form he had us fill out, but Chris asked about the surprise dance in front of my mom and ruined it so she found out about it before the reception even started. We were really disappointed when this happened.
Next, he didn't do a very good job of announcing our cake cutting so most of our guests missed it - my parents didn't even know we had cut the cake until it was served!
In addition, Chris really didn't play the list of music we gave him, which was really upsetting. We spent a lot of time putting together that list and we were really bummed that he didn't play much of it.
Overall, he's a really nice guy, but we didn't have the day that we were expecting.
I used DJ Bill Bowen on 5/19/18. I had an awesome experience. He was laid back and very easy to work with. Bill did a great job checking with my husband and I to make sure everything went as we wanted. The music was also great. They did a good job playing what we wanted to hear and mixing in some favorites that kept everyone dancing. The floor was never empty!!
I highly recommend CLE Music as a whole. The office staff was very helpful and responsive.
Scott was absolutely amazing. He added tons of special touches we asked him to, and did it so the reception flowed smoothly. We had custom Arabic music, a song from my husbands grandmother she recorded in 1942, custom walk outs, etc and Scott & co pulled everything off like it was no big deal! He kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night, and every so often when someone had a special request it was instant. At the end of our wedding I told him everyone had a blast and it was because of him. Because it was. Best DJ I could have ever imagined. We also did the photo booth and were quite picky about our “logo”, they accommodated that for us, and the pictures are amazing. Cle music group is the way to go for your DJ.
DJ Scott Jones is the best in the business! He was so friendly, professional, and incredibly intuitive -- you can tell he's been doing this for many years, and that he truly loves every second of it. The dance floor at our wedding was packed the entire night, and our guests are still talking about the experience he cultivated. In our pre-wedding meetings he listened to what we wanted, gave us suggestions when we needed them, and even customized a song for my father who wanted to surprise me for our father/daughter dance. He was always available to discuss anything we wanted to talk about, and was always incredibly quick to respond to my messages. He played a wonderful variety of music and took requests, integrating them into our playlist seamlessly. I truly cannot compliment Scott and the Cleveland Music Group enough!
