Braden helped masks the wedding so special and the almost 2 decades of experience really showed. They came highly recommended by our venue and I will continue to do the same. He really personalized the music with us and didn’t play any song we asked to not be played. The dance floor was packed the whole night. The lighting he and his team did was also amazing.
The lighting added a lot to our venue!
Having a top notch DJ for a wedding, is a priority for most- and if it isn't it should be! The DJ sets the tone and the mood, and I have been to too many weddings, where they just fall short, and empty dance floors. That was not the case for our wedding. Braden sat with us ahead of time, and discussed the types of music that we, and our friends and family would most be interested in; as well as what time of the night would benefit from say either classical music for the dinner, or EDM on the dance floor! When the day of the wedding came, he was 100% on point with the music and vibe! We had friends and family from all around the country sharing with us their amazing fun experiences at our wedding, and I confidently attribute much of that to Braden and his team! To this day, over a year later, we still have friends and family who talk about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding and the overall incredible energy. My husband and I would recommend Braden to anyone looking to have fun and who want the music that they actual enjoy to be played.
We are very thankful we hired DJ Cincy for our wedding. We are in Florida and they traveled from Cincinnati to work our wedding. They did our music, lighting, and audio. The whole team was polite, professional, and also very understanding. We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and DJ Cincy worked with us every step of the way. They helped us during the planning process by getting with vendors directly upon my request to figure out what lighting was needed to help accentuate the room. During the week if they came early to setup and even came to our rehearsal to make sure audio was working and what we expected. On the day if they showed up ready to go and really helped make sure everything went according to plan. They helped keep the day of schedule without being over bearing, they kept all guests of all ages happy and were a very run group to work with. I will definitely be recommending them to all of my friends and family for any type of big event. Thank you again for making our day so special!
DJ Cincy did an amazing job at our wedding! The dance floor was packed the entire night! He also helped with our ceremony sound and I'm so glad he did. I would highly recommend using him.
DJCincy is the best music provider for weddings and concerts you can get! They are so great to work with and provide a custom package for your event! Thank you, Braden , for making both of our children's weddings the best they could be!!
My wedding was a dream that could of easily been a nightmare! With close to 400 guests, a tent setting in the middle of a storm, and a caterer that did not provide, it would of been a recipe for disaster. DJ Cincy and his crew literally saved the day beyond measures and we couldn’t be more grateful. To begin, they started with the speakers and microphones for our outdoor service. When the rain started, they didn’t make a scene about anything and just made sure to help us get inside. Once we relocated to the tent, they had everything set up and ready to go in what seemed like seconds and kept everything going on track. DJ Cincy kept to the timeline the best he could with all the quick changes in our day and did it with ease. The lighting in the tent was absolutely perfect for pictures at all times, and the music was always on cue. He set up a playlist with me initially during our first meeting and there was never a lapse in music throughout the night. The way him and the crew made the music flow was perfect and there was never a dull moment on the dance floor! I got so many compliments on this crew from guests and still do months later. We have recommended this group to many friends and families events and can’t wait to hear more from them in the future! If you are looking for a great crew, with exceptional and rare service with the perfect sense of music, please give them a chance! You really can’t ask for a better group to create such vivid and lasting memories for any event, but most importantly, your wedding night!
My family has used Braden and his team for 10+ years now so there was no question who we should use for our wedding. They were of course more than we could’ve asked for! They were extremely professional from start to finish, they handled any hiccups without us knowing, great music choices for all ages- everyone told us they’d never seen so many people on the dance floor all at once because the music was THAT good! There are not enough words to thank Braden and his team for completing our perfect day!
We used Cincy Entertainment Services as our DJ for our wedding at Alms park back in May. Braden and his team did an absolutely amazing job. They provided music and mics for our outdoor service, MC'd the event, and kept the party moving on the dance floor. We worked with him before the big day to go over exactly what we wanted to play throughout the night and he nailed it. I never knew what a large role the DJ played during a wedding keeping the night moving and on schedule, but so happy we went with CES for our wedding. USE THEM!
Braden and team were so amazing to work with! They were flexible with us and understood everything we were wanting. I would highly recommend using him!
Braden and his team did amazing work for my wedding and were so great to work with! I highly recommend using them, I’m glad I did!
Braden and the DJ Cincy staff were absolutely wonderful and my husband and I were very impressed with their professionalism and services at our wedding! Braden really listened to what we were looking for in terms of music choices and flow and he exceeded our expectations! He brings a lot of good energy to the crowd and does a great job of making sure the dance floor is packed. Everyone had a great time because of him. The staff was extremely hard working, they were on time, the flow of the evening was great and Braden's music choices were perfect. We did not have to worry about a thing. He incorporated exactly what we were looking for. We also used DJ Cincy for lighting services and the bistro lights looked gorgeous. The bistro light set up made it look like it our wedding was out of a magazine. We received so many great compliments from guests asking who we used for our DJ because everyone was so impressed. Braden was really easy to work with and made our wedding run very smoothly. If we would have to do it over we would pick Braden every time, we trust him and couldn't have had a better choice for DJ/Lighting. Wow, amazing job.
Braden and the whole DJ cincy staff completely made my wedding night! I don't usually leave reviews but I feel my wedding wouldn't have been half of what it was without DJ Cincy. From the get go Braden was so easy to talk to and was very professional. He kept the ball rolling with the timeline we had given so we could have all the time we wanted to party and dance. Almost no one sat down all night, and no one left until they basicaly had to kick us out of the venue. We were having an absolute BLAST. To have over 250 people, young and old, out dancing the night away is something I will remember forever. It's been months since my wedding and people are still talking about how my wedding was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding and I owe it all to DJ Cincy. Thanks so much for listening to what we wanted and for being so great leading up to the wedding day and the day of. Anytime anyone asks for referrals for a DJ I without a doubt tell people DJ Cincy! Five stars all day long! Thanks again for making my wedding night the best ever!Ca
Braden was amazing! He dj'd our wedding at Ault Park on Friday November 10th. He responded promptly to all of our emails and answered all of our questions. We met at his office to go over all the details and made the process so simple and made us feel so much better about everything leading up to our big day. As for the day of, he was amazing and I can't say it enough. Very professional and made sure we didn't have to worry about anything except enjoying our wedding day. He coordinated all the events so smoothly and kept everything on track. He kept the dance floor packed the entire night and made sure the music selection was personalized to our taste and not "just another typical wedding playlist". I highly recommend Braden and DjCincy to anyone I can. If I could do it over and over again I'd choose Braden to do our wedding 11 out of 10 times!

Amazing! Braden and his crew were absolutely phenomenal. He did our lighting and was the DJ and we truly could not have chosen a better company. We met Braden at his office to discuss the music styles, timeline, specialty songs, and lighting options. It is clear that Braden loves what he does and is amazing at it. The amount of options and experience he has made it such an easy decision for us. For our lighting, we chose strung bistro lights through the tent, up-lights and moving dance floor lights. I strongly recommend going for the moving dance floor lights as my guests still tell me how awesome it looked and how it transformed the space. It was elegant for the toasts and dining (from the string lights) and turned into a true party when the moving lights came on. I was adamant about no cheesy wedding songs, and Braden made sure not to play any, but he did incorporate a lot of songs that my parents would still love. Braden was awesome about helping us stick to our timeline for intros, toasts, cake cutting, etc.
Braden was extremely professional and fun at the same time. I have nothing but praise and good things to say about him and his crew.
Overwhelmingly unprofessional; too busy to handle volume of work
• Consistently (7+ times) didn’t reply to emails for multiple weeks. The week of the wedding he missed two planned calls without notice; he was again, “very busy.” (ProTip: don’t tell the bride that you’re feeling busy the week of her wedding. She’s losing her mind overseeing everything, you literally have one job for that day.) The fact that he doesn’t realize how rude this is indicative of his sensitivity and professionalism.
• Repeatedly missed phone call meetings without notice.
• Two months before, he told me he had the instrumental version of the bridal processional song. When I asked to hear the song the week before the wedding, he said he didn’t have it (and had never actually found it).
PAYMENT: I asked about online payment options as the two week payment deadline approached. I never heard back from him (and didn’t want to be penalized for late payment) so I mailed the check to the address listed for payments on the contract. When I didn’t hear confirmation that he had received the check, I emailed Braden to confirm. He never replied. I called him to confirm and he had not received the payment because he moved and didn’t update his address with me or on his contract. Now I had to call the bank to cancel the check (for a $33 fee), and make the payment online. All this when I asked for an online payment option weeks before.
Required that I draft the order of events with the chosen songs. Again, he’s too busy.
DAY OF, CEREMONY:
• processional not queued, silence between processional songs (awkward silence for ceremony flow; it’s 2017, this guy claims to be so good, this should have been avoidable; didn’t sound professional)
• recessional not queued and ready to play as we left ceremony (even though we provided him with a copy of the ceremony script so he could follow along and play recessional after our kiss)
DAY OF, RECEPTION:
• Asked B + G how we would prefer microphones to be set up (um, shouldn’t that have been a conversation we had BEFORE our reception? I’d like to be talking to the guests that I invited to celebrate this day with, not my vendors. Also, I don’t know about your job. Set it up so it works. The options he gave us were – “wired so it works or digital so it doesn’t always work and I don’t know why.” Isn’t this your job, as in, what you specialize in? Additionally, if this didn’t work at a previous wedding, you should research why and make sure it always works at every following wedding because it’s your job and you take pride in your work. Unfortunately, this is not the case.)
• Reception Speeches: Spotty wireless microphone, told the Father of the Bride during his speech, “I don’t know what’s going on” and did nothing to fix it in preparation for the following speeches from the BM and MOH. It consistently went out during the next two speeches.
• As G and I walked to sendoff car, Braden asked for payment. Classy. (Again, which I had already sent him weeks before). Our guests were standing on the sidewalk, waiting to send us off and I had to stand there alone while my groom tried to detangle himself from Braden so we could have our sendoff.
POST-WEDDING POSITIVES: Lighting looked gorgeous! People seemed to enjoy dancing. I never have to deal with Braden again.
Absolutely Incredible! There really is no other way to describe it. Braden was amazing throughout out entire time working with him. We met with him multiple times and he was incredibly thorough with all of his plans. He did our lighting and DJ services and it was absolutely incredible! I have had probably 100 guests come up to me separately and tell me how awesome my DJ was. Braden did an incredible job with reading the crowd at my wedding. NO ONE left the dance floor that night. He was perfectly in sync with my venue and the entire night was flawless. I cannot thank him or his entire crew enough for making everything so perfect. The party was absolutely amazing and I owe a huge thank you to him for making that happen. I would not recommend considering anyone other than DJ Cincy for your wedding!
As a bride, who felt she should do her due diligence in benchmarking vendors so she could ensure she got the most "bang for her buck", I can confidently say that DJCincy is by far the best value MC/DJ services. We had an outdoor ceremony that DJ Cincy set a separate PA system up for and that worked out beautifully; many guests said the ceremony was magical. We also had a slideshow of pictures in our reception that DJ Cincy displayed on a 55" flat screen TV that was elevated on a tower for all guests could see. Once the dancing began, the TV then displayed music videos for the songs that were being played; our guests loved this!
In addition, I was also able to bundle DJCincy's MC/DJ services with Cincy Lighting's phenomenal lighting services. Braden is the ultimate professional and was so easy to work with. Not only will you be quoted a reasonable price but you can rest assured that you will receive the highest quality products and service.
A lot of couples are unaware of the impact lighting can have on a venue, inside or outside. Our wedding reception was hosted indoors but with Braden's help, a normal ballroom transformed into something much more beautiful! The color quality of the lights, the transitions of color between songs, and the custom monogram really made a difference and I couldn't have imagined working with anyone else.
In the end, not only did DJCincy/Cincy Lighting Services make our reception beautiful and enticed our guests to get on the dance floor but their excellent service made the night go so smoothly and worry-free, which is what every bride needs on the BIG day!
