We hired Jordan K. of Cleveland Music Group for our wedding DJ, and he was amazing!! So easy and professional to work with from start to finish. You can tell from the way he talks ...
that he loves his work and genuinely wants to meet your vision. He took the time to get to know our musical tastes, and the music he chose fit us perfectly. We wanted music that would keep guests of all ages on the dance floor all night, and he delivered! Would recommend him without hesitation!

Let me start by saying music was up there in the list of importance for us on our wedding day (and we were not easy to play). My do not play was longer than my play list and I didn...
’t let anyone make requests.
With that being said, DJ Eric, absolutely crushed it. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding to go over our forms and he really took the time to understand what we wanted.
Day of, not only did he banger after banger (oldies, EDM, rock, 2000s emo and everything in between) but he also kept us on schedule. He walked us through each event throughout our wedding night, example: pulled us aside before our entrance, let us know what our que was, had people prepped before there speeches, made sure photographers were available before we started first dances , etc.
We had the absolute best night and so much was thanks to DJ Eric! Our guests raved about him all night long. If you’re looking for an actual DJ and not just a “wedding dj”, Eric is your guy.

so happy with how the music turned out. If you like remixes and a great flow to the music that gets everyone out on the dance floor, Eric is your guy. He was taking requests from guests but still kept true to our style and preferences. You could tell he was working hard all night, sweating bullets and deeply engaged in his work. His passion and knowledge of music is what truly brought the dance floor together. We also used the Cleveland Music Group for uplighting around the ballroom, and they brought their own lights to put on the stage and make the DJ’s set up stand out! We had the best night of our lives and woke up with extremely sore calves from dancing all night!

nitely delivered. I felt very confident in him after our final meeting and throughout the whole wedding day. He played music before/ during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He played all our favorite songs and the dance floor was packed the whole time, which was exactly what we wanted. My husband and I both listen to a variety of types of music and he was able to seamlessly incorporate all types to get everyone dancing. He also made all the necessary announcements to keep the day running smoothly. My husband and I have been to a lot of weddings and he is by far the best DJ we have seen. I cannot brag about him enough. Thank you DJ JT for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

We truly cannot say enough great things about "The Element." From the very first conversation, they were exceptional communicators—responsive, kind, organized, and clearly invested...
in making our wedding reception unforgettable. They made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process, and we knew we were in the best hands.
On the night of the reception, they absolutely blew us (and our guests) away. Not only was their performance phenomenal—every song perfectly chosen and flawlessly executed—but they also read the room with incredible sensitivity and professionalism. Erin (the lead singer and primary contact) seamlessly rearranged the schedule in real time to keep the event flowing beautifully. Their sound mixing, energy, and musicality were spot-on from start to finish.
What truly set them apart were the personal touches: they joyfully incorporated our young nephews into a song, invited the father of the groom up to play guitar, and even learned a special request last minute just for us. These moments made our night feel magical and deeply personal.
We could not recommend "The Element" more strongly. If you’re looking for a band that combines extraordinary talent with warmth, flexibility, and heart—this is the one.

I was a bride who didn’t get too caught up in the details or the planning process, but my main goal for our wedding reception was for everyone to have a great time—and DJ Ernie abs...
olutely made that happen!
I knew I liked his style from his bio, but meeting him in person sealed the deal. He’s incredibly easy to talk to and such a joy to work with. I genuinely had no idea how the night was going to unfold, but he led the entire reception seamlessly from beginning to end.
I honestly thought our guests might head out early—but I was so wrong. The dance floor was packed all night, right up until the very end! Since the wedding, I’ve heard nothing but amazing feedback from our guests about how much fun they had, and so much of that is thanks to DJ Ernie.
My advice to future couples: trust him. Let him read the crowd and go with the flow—he knows what he’s doing! Aside from our first dance and a couple of key songs, I gave him total freedom, and it was the best decision. Choosing the right DJ is everything when it comes to creating an unforgettable reception—and DJ Ernie is absolutely the right choice. You won’t regret it!

The Orchestra was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! From the dinner set to our first dances to the dancing set, we were blown away. People kept coming up to us throughout the n...
ight wanting to know who the band was and how to hire them!
The band song list has all the classic wedding songs. I remember being on the dance floor, tired, wanting to get another drink, and thinking to myself “I hope the next song isn’t a banger so I can take a break.” Low and behold every song was a banger and I just had to keep on dancing! The dance floor was packed all night and some of the horn section even came down to the dance floor for a Congo line!
We had a choreographed first dance and I requested that the band be as close to the recording as possible and shorten the song. They did a wonderful job, and our first dance was seamless even though we had never heard the band play the song before. The band worked so well together, and you could tell they are very experienced at playing together!
If you are looking for a band, The Orchestra is the best decision you could make!

He was so friendly and even talked with some of our family and guests who loved him. We did a non-traditional wedding party entrance that he helped plan and even provided recommendations for. We also did a last dance just my husband and I and he offered to take a video of it and stayed an extra half hour after the reception for us to do that. Can't recommend him enough!

The big hit of the night was Eric's idea, he played "Higher" by Creed and timed it just right to where the chorus hit right at the stroke of midnight. Even days later we are getting compliments from our guests about how great DJ Eric was. We can not recommend him enough to anybody planning any event where you want a big party with the dance floor packed. Thank you Eric!!

He took extra time with us to make a special cut of our first dance song, which allowed us to have exactly what we wanted. All our guests told us what an amazing time they had, and we would absolutely hire Eric again ten times over.

We worked with Cleveland Music Group for our wedding on 9/28. It was such a good experience. Scott, the owner, was super communicative which always makes planning easy. We ended up...
signing a contract for DJ PJ Carmack of Cleveland Music Group and for the open air photo booth. Both were perfect. DJ PJ is an amazing DJ with perfect music taste. Our guests never left the dance floor all night and so many of our guests gave us compliments on how good he was. He came early to set up with high quality equipment and we never had that screeching problem that can happen when people are giving speeches. He was extremely respectful, never left the stand where he was playing music, and always provided energy throughout his set. The guy is such a pro. It's hard to believe that there’s anyone better out there.
The open air photo booth was also pretty sick. We got to choose a custom design for our prints which was pretty special and the amount of props / quality of props that the booth tech brought was insane. It felt like a pretty high quality experience to entertain our guests. We were pleasantly surprised as it took some convincing to get my wife onboard with this extra purchase. We would absolutely recommend this option to others too!

or leaving funny voicemails that they didn't even have time to enjoy all three! However, the guests that did get to use them all had a blast! The staff for the photobooth and the DJ himself were beyond friendly and accommodating to not only the bride and groom but to each guest! They really helped boost the vibes of the celebration!

Tyson was clearly the right pick for us from the moment we interviewed him. An undeniable professional talking about his work. He was modest but still reassuring. His pre-event for...
m was helpful, and he took the time to go over it with us clearly and thoroughly before our big day. He gave advice but gently, without pressuring us away from our instincts about what our people would respond to. Day of, he came technologically prepared. Setup was great. His work on the mic was sparse—but perfect. And his song selections were just spot-frigging-on. A dozen people at our wedding have asked us about him. We love Tyson. Thank you forever!!!

re the day to make sure all our wishes were heard and executed. He kept the dance floor packed, played all of our requests and catered to the entire crowd at the wedding. He did great at keeping to the reception timeline and did an awesome job at annoucements and pronunciations. He even catered to our special request of one last dance AFTER the reception was over which was really special to my husband and I. We couldn't recommend him enough and plan to keep in touch!! Cheers!
Love the Leons!

Oh my goodness, I could write for days about how absolutely amazing DJ DC was at our wedding. First of all, I was VERY picky about the music. My must play list was long and the do ...
not play list was even longer. I had a lot of specifications of when to start and stop songs. So... DJ DC was stuck with a tough case. Other DJs likely wouldn't have accommodated our many requests. But man, did he deliver BEAUTIFULLY and make the night so fun! Not only was he extremely personable (on the phone and in person) but he is someone we genuinely want to keep in touch with. He made our dance floor beyond memorable, and absolutely nailed every part of the ceremony, too. I told him a million times, and I'll say it again, picking him as our DJ was the best decision we made for our wedding day (besides marrying each other!) :)

rought incredible energy and enthusiasm that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long.
Even when the weather decided to throw a curveball—complete with a storm and a bit of flooding—the band handled the situation with professionalism and grace. They took a brief break to move their instruments and then jumped right back into the fun, making sure the party never missed a beat.
A special mention must go to their fantastic MC, Dwayne. His engaging style and warm personality added a personal touch to the event that made it even more memorable. He also made sure that everyone's names were pronounced correctly, which we truly appreciated!
What truly stood out was the band's interaction with the crowd. They didn’t just play from the stage; they came out onto the dance floor with their instruments, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere that everyone loved.
If you’re looking for a band that knows how to keep a party going, can handle unexpected challenges with ease, and genuinely connects with the crowd, The Orchestra is the perfect choice. Thank you for making our wedding truly special!
