Eric is bar none the best DJ we've ever encountered. He's so friendly and easy to work with at every step along the way. He was the DJ at our friends wedding and when it came time for our wedding we knew who we were going to pick. It's not even just the DJ stuff (which of course he's great) but it's all the small stuff he does that really sets him in his own class. From capturing candid photos all night, creating a blog about our wedding, sending us our playlist, helping organize our timeline, and so much more. We also really liked how he could feel out the night and adjust the music accordingly. You can stop your search here, Eric is the one.
We loved Eric the DJ! He definitely got the party going for us. We had a mixed cultural wedding and Eric did amazing incorporating both cultural music for us. He also took tons of great photos from the DJs perspective and sent them to us after. Highly recommend!
Eric was amazing to work with! So friendly and fun. He made the night run smoothly and my guests loved him! I would recommend him over and over!
Any questions?
Throughout our planning process Eric was communicative, professional, and positive. We so appreciated his energy and excitement for our special day. I loved the planning website where we could request songs for each part of our wedding.
Day of, Eric did a wonderful job keeping the music going from ceremony to reception. I noticed that he made quick and seamless adjustments based on the energy from our guests during the reception. Would recommend!
Eric is amazing!!! If I could rate this DJ service 10 stars I would. From the first meeting we had to the day of Eric was always so attentive and helpful. He made sure everything was perfect for us. He provided us amazing pictures and an amazing picture slideshow. I’m so glad we chose this company for our wedding!
Eric was an amazing DJ! Everything we could have asked for and more! Our venue had three different locations we needed music and he handled them all with ease. He gave us confidence right from our first meeting that he would be able to provide exceptional services for us, really no matter what curve ball was thrown his way. He helped customize all our playlists and accommodated a few special versions of songs we needed for special dances. Highly highly recommend Eric and Schiemer Entertainment! He will not disappoint!
We loved working with Eric!! He did an amazing job at our wedding on 12/2/23. He was so kind, positive, professional and helpful throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. He also took so many fun dancing photos after our photographer had wrapped for the night which was an amazing surprise to receive. We had so much fun dancing with all of our guests! We can't say enough nice things, highly recommend!!
Eric was very professional and friendly from the very first meeting. He provided insight on what he tries to do, while also trying to get to know my husband and I. He had such a helpful website to organize special requests, dances, etc. We gave him creative freedom during the dance party and let me tell you, he knocked it out of the park. Everyone enjoyed all the songs he chose! He also went above and beyond by taking some photos of his own and created a beautiful slideshow. I highly recommend him to any bride trying to find the perfect DJ.
Very professional & personable, great communicator, and came highly recommended by our venue.
Eric is wonderful! We booked him for our wedding this summer and he was professional, attentive, and lots of fun. He kept the dance floor packed the entire night and was loved by our guests. His communication, responsiveness, and flexibility throughout the process was remarkable. We'd highly recommend Eric for any DJ services!
Eric is a fantastic DJ and helped create the most memorable night of our lives. He was easy to work with, responsive, and exceeded our expectations of a wedding DJ. He took our requests and built a fantastic night of music for our event. He provided everything we could have asked for and more. We had a blast working with Eric and would recommend him to anyone having a wedding in the Pittsburgh area.
Hands down the best! Eric is so nice and stays in touch with you through the whole wedding process. He helps throughout the day and listens to what you want to hear! He even takes so photos of you on the dance floor! I highly recommend using him! You will not regret it!!
Your search for a DJ ends here! BOOK HIM- You won’t regret it. We got so many compliments on the DJ from our guests. He was professional, organized, and fun to work with. He took great pics and videos which was an unexpected bonus. 10/10
I could not have been happier with Eric!
We hired Eric for our wedding back on 9/3/22. Eric was very caring and involved in each step of the planning process to make sure that our day was perfect and exactly what we wanted. Our wedding was not super "traditional" and Eric was very helpful with helping find the perfect song choices for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception. He made sure that the flow of the wedding transitioned and went smoothly. Eric has a super fun attitude and did a great job announcing the bridal party and got everyone excited. When it was time to get everyone on the dancefloor Eric did an amazing job of playing songs that had everyone dancing and he did not take a single break! I was concerned with sound quality because our wedding was at the Pennsylavnian which is challenging acoustically, and Eric knew how to place speakers in a way that ensured sound carried evenly throughout the space. Eric truly goes above and beyond for his couples and I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding. He listens, helps with the planning and is a top-tier professional.
Eric came highly recommended to us by friends that used his services a few years back, and hiring him was honestly the best decision we made for our wedding day.
From the moment my now-husband Jon reached out to Eric, he was so full of energy and so kind. We set up a zoom call to chat with him before booking, and as soon as we hung up the call, Jon and I simultaneously said that we loved him and we needed him for our day.
I don't know about anyone else, but I was told during our planning process that no one would put the care into our wedding day that we would, and though I do understand, I have to call BS on that because Eric had made Jon & I feel like we were all the mattered for not only the day of, but the several weeks leading up to the wedding. He was so on top of every single detail! He followed up with us about a month prior and we discussed some songs that we wanted to hear and what we were thinking for the rest of the evening.. He was the biggest hype-man and started each of his emails with a countdown to our day! (this is very cool- it might seem small, but it's reassuring to know that your vendors are excited to share your day with you). We had joked that my emotions days out from the wedding were "internally chaotic" and Eric played a huge part in helping to calm my worries.
Our wedding day was an absolute dream. Not because it was "perfect" or even anything extravagant, but because we were surrounded by people that loved us and that were rooting for us, and we could truly feel that energy throughout the entire room.. we have Eric to thank! He was genuinely happy to be celebrating with us, and our guests new it!
As I had mentioned earlier, we did give Eric a few must-play songs, but otherwise it was all him! He read the room, got our guests dancing, and totally surpassed any expectations we had. We had him as our DJ, but he was so much more! He was a photographer (seriously, some incredible photos and videos of some really special moments that we may not be able to revisit otherwise), our wedding coordinator (the day ran so smoothly because he stayed on top of every single detail, and talked through the day with me all 10 times I sent up an updated timeline.. lol), and now he is a friend. I can recall several moments throughout the evening that Eric checked on Jon and I and made sure we were doing okay and asked if we needed anything. Even after our wedding day, we've kept in touch and he still continues to hype us up!
I've had so many guests reach out and say kind things about the wedding, and every single one has made it a point to compliment Eric.
There are so many details from our day that I'll always remember, and Eric is to thank for so many of them.
There's truly no better DJ in the world (I'm guessing, but I'm probably right). So do yourself a favor and hire Eric/Schiemer Entertainment! It'll be the best decision you make, I promise!
Eric is the BEST! He dj-ed our wedding and was such a pleasure to work with; so friendly, quick to respond to emails, and very well-organized with an easy-to-use online system for compiling any songs we wanted to use. And, just as important, he did an amazing job the day of! Everything sounded great, and our guests were on the dance floor all night. We truly got so many compliments on the reception music! Eric also did a great job of emceeing, covering all the announcements we needed (like announcing the bridal party into the reception, mentioning shuttles toward the end of the evening, etc.) without making it feel like interruptions in the party. And to top it all off, he sent us a slideshow and some great pictures from the wedding! I really can't recommend Eric enough!!
The guests at our wedding never left the dance floor! I can not recommend Eric enough, he was good at communicating, detailed, checked in with us throughout the night and we are so glad he could be such a big part of our day! He was the Dj for our friends wedding last year and after dancing our butts off at that wedding we knew we had to
Book him for ours - and we are so glad we did. Thank you Eric for helping make our best day ever the very best. You are so talented and passionate and it was such a pleasure working with you. Easy vendor choice!! We had a lot of dancers in our group and when they started chanting “one more song” at the end of the reception (which we told Eric we would not need a one more haha) - even though we did not prepare him for this he picked a great one more song choice for everyone to enjoy! The guest loved it!! As someone who loves dancing at weddings - it was important to us to get a good Dj that gets everyone on the dance floor. Eric was absolutely it - I couldn’t have imagined the day without him. Thank you times a million!!!!!
We LOVED working with Eric! He has so much personality and made our planning sessions with him so much fun. He totally met our vibe and was so understanding of exactly what we wanted. He has a website where you build your "must play" would like to hear" and "do not play" playlists along with selecting the songs for every big moment. He allows you to add notes and he pays attention to all of your details. He also is great at editing music, he cut our first dance, entrance song, and mother/son dance to include the parts of the songs we wanted flawlessly and without requiring any extra fees. He understood what we meant when we said he could take requests but to run anything that seemed out of place or not our vibe by us. He was reading the room all night and very quick on his feet. At one point, late in the night, my parents joined me on the dance floor and when I asked him "can you play one more song they'll like to dance to" with about 10 seconds left of the song that was currently on, he pulled it off! He waited until we were on the dance floor to play our "must play" songs so we didn't miss any of the songs we couldn't imagine our night without. As an added bonus, he was taking pictures from his perspective all night. He told us he would be doing this, but we didn't expect them to come out as great as they did! He captured so many funny moments with our friends that happened after our photographer left for the night.
Eric was easily one of the best vendors of our wedding day! We connected from our first meeting, and as we approached the day, we appreciated his hands-off but thorough approach to making sure our day was perfect. Being very much type A, I loved the portal he used and its inclusion of all our key moments, proper pronunciation of all our last names (we have some tough ones!), and the customizable timeline based on our songs. On our actual wedding day, Eric hit it out of the park - the music was so on point, and he was willing to roll with the punches as friends requested songs throughout the night. There was never a dull moment on the dance floor! We also really appreciated his tact with being a stellar DJ but not speaking over the music and interrupting the moment. He was on the dance floor at opportune times to make sure my husband and I were having a good time and approved of song choice, which was above and beyond. He also took fantastic photos / videos the whole night, and he was kind enough to collate these memories and share them with us for the future. Eric is extremely thoughtful, respectful, and just an outright excellent DJ. HIGHLY recommend him for anyone's wedding!
The absolute BEST. Hands down. Eric has been a pleasure to work with for our wedding. He listens to what you want and makes planning the music for your wedding as hands on, or hands off, as you want it to be. He's so kind and goes out of his way to make your day perfect (a great example was how much he practiced the pronunciation of our bridal party's names). We even had some crazy requests from our parents including merging two songs AND incorporating my dad singing into our first dance songs and Eric didn't think twice about going above and beyond. Outside of making sure the party is amazing, he also photographs throughout the night, which I appreciated as he caught some of the best moments of the night after the photographer left. Within one day, he had sent us a highlight reel on YouTube that we will cherish forever. We had a very unique situation where the groom had to be taken to the ER for a stomach issue mid-reception, but Eric kept the party going and was so accommodating of our situation. Do yourself a favor and book Eric TODAY for your upcoming event.
Eric truly is one of a kind! He made sure our reception was the best of the best! He took the time to get to know us and made our wedding playlist exactly what we wanted. He is great at what he does and knows how to keep the party going all night long. We could not have asked for a better DJ.
I cannot recommend Eric enough! He did our entire wedding - from ceremony, to cocktail
hour, to dinner, to the dancing at the end. He made the entire process so easy and put both myself and my now husband at ease the whole time. He’s extremely professional and will make sure that your day goes as smoothly as possible. He’s so genuine and really cares about how the wedding goes. Eric made sure that every person was on the dance floor as one point or another. I think every single person at our reception was out of their seats dancing!
If I could give Eric more than 5 stars, I would!
Eric is AMAZING – Where do we even start with how amazing he is?! From the moment we first met Eric, we knew he had to be a part of our day. His energy and positivity are unmatched and he truly cares that his couples have an amazing reception. Throughout the planning process, Eric was extremely responsive, provided his honest opinion when asked and just made us so excited leading up to the wedding with his enthusiasm, even if we were going through hard pandemic times. He was more than happy to have multiple planning meetings with us leading up to the wedding day and really listened to what was important to us. His awesome online planning tool also made it extremely easy for us to create the timeline, decide on special dances, etc.
On the day of the wedding, he was timely, energetic, and so ready to have a great time! He was also reassuring and a positive voice in times of chaos right before our ceremony when it wasn’t set up properly by the venue. He truly went above and beyond and we can’t thank him enough! Our bridal party had a last-minute change to our entrances, and he quickly pivoted and accommodated, and was so happy to do so! The entire reception ran smoothly because of Eric. He was phenomenal and our dance floor was full the entire night. We had several people ask for his contact info and we have family members that have already booked him for their weddings!
One of the best things Eric does is he takes his own pictures throughout the reception, some of which are my favorite from the night! He creates a list of all of the songs played, a photo slideshow and sends all of the photos to you afterwards. It was such a great surprise to relive the night the day after through his photos!
This review doesn’t even do justice to just how amazingly wonderful Eric is. He truly goes above and beyond, cares so much and is just an amazing person all around. Booking Eric was the best decision we made and I can’t imagine our wedding without him!
If you are in the market for a DJ, your search can end here. Eric is top of the line. He exceeded our expectations and brought terrific energy to our wedding reception all evening long. Not only can he string together songs that make a great playlist to get people out of their seats, but he also understands the right time to play certain styles of songs to make them hit just right. Eric was so easy to work with during the planning process, always responsive to calls and emails, and we really enjoyed speaking with him during our final planning meeting – he totally got us. He put 100% into our event and we couldn’t have been happier with his services. We had so many of our friends and family tell us how great our DJ was and how much fun they had dancing. As if the DJing wasn’t enough, Eric put together a photo montage set to our wedding song and sent it to us just a few days after our wedding – we weren’t even back from our honeymoon yet. It was so nice to see a little highlight reel ahead of receiving our professional photos. He also sent a flash drive in the mail later with additional photos and videos from the night. Just like Tina Turner sang it, Eric you’re simply the best! Thank you for making our wedding night one for the ages!
I highly recommend Eric to any and every bride and groom. To be blunt, I was nervous to book a DJ, because I know a great DJ can really make your wedding exceptional. I genuinely feel I made the best decision by booking Eric! He was kind, professional, thorough, and supportive throughout the planning process. He was able to help with details and overall flow of the evening. His experience really shined through during our preparatory conversations. His website and song lists were extremely helpful in choosing all of the important songs; it made the process fun instead of just a chore. His experience continued to shine on wedding day, he was able to keep pleasantly keep the evening moving timely, emceed professionally and smoothly, and was able to keep the dance floor full and fun all night long! If that wasn’t enough, he provided us with beautiful photos, our entire song list, and a sweet blog post after the wedding. He was everything we could have hoped for and more!

THE BEST DJ EVER! I found Eric through a friend who got married years ago and I remember what a good time we had, so I reached out to him to DJ my wedding - best decision ever! It's super hard to find a DJ ( I think), but you will not regret hiring Eric. He really listens to what you want your day to be and the planning portal you use is extremely helpful and easy to use. You can tell he truly loves what he does, it shows in every way! He even took some pictures at our wedding and sent them to me, so sweet! A true gem to work with. Everyone talked about how much fun they had at our wedding and said the music was awesome. Definitely recommend Eric to everyone!!
My wife and I spoke with a number of DJs while planning our wedding reception and as soon as we ended our call with Eric we knew the search was over. Eric Schiemer is a true professional who brings with him a lot of great experience, insight, and suggestions but also is completely happy to accommodate any requests/desires you may have! He was on top of every detail while planning the reception, has a great personality for interacting with guests, and coordinated very well with our other vendors to make everything run smoothly. We really can’t thank Eric enough for helping to make our wedding day so great! And as an awesome bonus, he also photographs the reception, creates a slideshow to your first dance song, and captures the entire reception playlist on his website as a great memory of the day! Thanks Eric!!
I found Eric through one of my friends who was also engaged at the same time as me. She said she had seen him at one of her friends weddings and he was the best DJ she ever saw at a wedding and he was the first vendor she booked for her own wedding. With that glowing recommendation, I reached out to Eric and was so glad he was available for my wedding date! I would recommend him to anyone. He is very communicative, not just leading up to the wedding, but on the wedding day as well to make sure the timing of things is going well, etc. He has a website that makes it so easy to input any songs you want played and you can also rate different genres on a scale of how much you want a particular type of music to be played. I had a few songs listed for cocktail and dinner music, and he did a great job of filling in the gaps with similar music. He was energetic and the dance floor was full all night. After the wedding, he sends a list of all of the songs he played in order for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, which is such a nice keepsake to have to reminisce on the day. He also takes AWESOME photos and videos that he puts in a slideshow and sends a USB to you! Since we don't have our photos back from the photographer yet, it is so nice to have these photos almost instantly! The quality of the photos is incredible. It is especially nice to have a lot of pictures from the reception because our photographer didn't stay the entire night. If you are thinking of booking Eric for your wedding, this is your sign to reach out to him! You will not be disappointed!
Eric was amazing!!! He went above and beyond before, during, and after the wedding. He listens to what you want and follows through with exactly what you ask for! I felt so comfortable working with him and honestly could not have asked for a better experience!! I highly recommend Eric!
I’ve literally never left a review for anything in my life (vendor, bar, restaurant, Amazon product). This needs to be my first. Eric brought the house down at our wedding. The journey was nearly as fun as the actual wedding. I’m serious. I do honestly feel bad for our videographer and photogrsiver because the DJ just went above and beyond and proceeded to take THE BEST PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ON PLANET EARTH.
Eric was an incredibly important and very special part of our very special day. He’s the best.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Eric. He was amazing to work with, always quick to respond and always willing to help in any way possible. He was perfect for our day and kept the dance floor full the entire night. We even had a power outage for over an hour (no fault to Eric, it was a venue issue) and Eric was only down for about 5 mins (it was so quick I didn't even know), and the party just kept on rolling. He provided us with amazing pictures and a video to remember our perfect day. He did everything like we discussed and was perfect! He is truly the best. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Eric is THE BEST! He was the DJ at my daughter’s wedding and was mine as well when I got married in August. He’s so much more than a DJ, he’s like family. His website allows you to give him the type of music that you’d like for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and for the dance floor. He also takes some of the best photos and some video during the wedding. He’s so positive and so much fun that it’s a joy to work with him. When I say he’s the best, I mean it. ❤️
Eric did such an amazing job for our wedding. We were a bit clueless on what we wanted out of our wedding DJ, but he made it so easy for us. His checklist and suggestions helped us pull our big day together with ease. He brought an awesome vibe to our day. We got many compliments on our DJ and he was a pleasure to work with. He was the first vendor we booked once we picked our venue and I am so glad. Book him for your ceremony and reception - You won’t regret it!
Eric was the dj at our wedding on 8/21/21. From ceremony to the last song at the reception everything was perfect. He kept everyone on the dance floor - which is exactly what we wanted! Our crowd can get a little rowdy but he kept up and was professional the entire time. Definitely would recommend him to anyone getting married looking to have a great time!
Eric DJed my sister's wedding and was so beyond fabulous that he was the first vendor we had to lock down the day after we got engaged - and, undoubtedly, he did not disappoint! Not only does he bring the party and such a positive, calming presence, but he goes above and beyond what is typically expected of a wedding DJ. From the very start, his process was nothing short of seamless - his website is user-friendly and it allows you to provide ceremony/reception details and "must play"/"maybe play"/"do not play" songs at your leisure. Eric set up a touchbase prior to the big day where we talked through specifics and then he sent through his own detailed timeline later that evening. We also had some surprises for my mom sprinkled in, and he made sure to keep those off of any timelines or emails that included her -- he was on it, and she was so surprised during the wedding! He arrived early to set up/test out some day-of lighting options we discussed and facilitate all the necessary ceremony audio connections with other vendors (videographer, venue coordinators, etc.). He kept my husband and I in the know throughout the reception and didn't move on to the next activity without making sure we were ready - something crucial when you're in the blur and excitement of a 200+ person reception! When the open dance floor started, I don't think anyone was at his/her seat for the rest of the night - it was so much fun! Eric kept the party going and incorporated fun uplighting sequences sophistically all night! At the end of the night, he packed up and stuck around to tell us how much fun he had - that wasn't the end of his services though. The next day, he shared a blog post he made about our day, an entire album of photos he captured throughout the dance floor party, and a teaser video of those photos to our first dance song. Above and beyond! But that's not all.. we went on a two-week honeymoon to the Maldives and when we returned to our non-PA residence, there was a personalized card from Eric with a flash drive of all of the photos he captured waiting for us. I can't recommend him enough - we tell everyone that the first thing to do after getting engaged is to reach out to Eric. He's the best around!
5 MILLION STARS for Eric. I had my wedding at the PPG Wintergarden and we could not have had a more perfect night. As soon as the father daughter dance was over, we had a packed dance floor all night! If you aren't hiring Eric for your DJ, you are doing something wrong. He also sends a slide show and pictures which is just above and beyond! We could not have been happier with our DJ!
Eric was amazing to work with! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He was everything we wanted our DJ to be. We created our own playlists, but Eric ordered the songs perfectly. He was the best combination of bringing energy to the dance floor and not being too involved. His flow of the reception was great and we loved how he took the lead but asked for our input and let us know when we were transitioning into the next thing. To top it all off, he made us an awesome slideshow from the pictures he took, which was so great to see the next day. Overall, 10/10 recommend!
Eric was truly the most incredible DJ we could have ever asked for on our wedding day. There was a never a day he wasn’t available to help or if we needed to pick his brain for some playlist ideas, he was always just a quick phone call, email, or meeting away! His upbeat and optimistic personality made wedding planning and playlist picking fun — even during a pandemic! Leading up to our big day he made sure to thoroughly run through our event and the details with us and our wedding planner to make sure everything was just how we wanted and envisioned it to be. Throughout our wedding day he checked in with both of us to make sure things were going well, we were having fun, and additionally asked if there was anything he could do for us. There was not a moment the dance floor wasn’t packed! I cannot tell you enough how many compliments we received from our wedding guests and also other vendors on how much everyone enjoyed him and his services! Needless to say Eric was extremely pleasant and fun to work with from start to finish. To top it all off, we were head over heels with happiness when he emailed us photos and a slideshow/video he put together of moments he had captured throughout the wedding day. It was so fun to see those moments the next day! We simply cannot thank Eric enough for making all of our wedding dreams come true! He was such pleasure to work with!
Eric did two of my best friend’s weddings (one of them is one of my bridesmaids) in the past and so we felt very comfortable hiring him as our DJ. I booked Eric in November of 2019 for our wedding in October of 2020 before the word Covid even existed. Once all of the restrictions were put in place we knew we didn't have a choice but to postpone to 2021. I contacted all of my vendors (14) of them and I had no problems switching our date or cancelling with a return of deposit. When I contacted Eric he didn't have our new date available, which was very disappointing. Eric did explain that if he had the date available that he would switch it without a problem. Unfortunately, the dates he had did not match what our venue or other vendors had available. Because of this Eric kept our $500.00 deposit. We wrote him an email nicely asking if he would be willing to give any of the deposit back but he declined. Working for a small family owned business myself reputation is everything and sometimes you have to keep your customers happy to keep your reputation. We understand that this is an unprecedented situation but we were hoping that a little more kindness would be shown for something that was out of our control.
Eric is so amazing!! He was recommended to us by a friend and we are SO glad we booked him!
Eric is so kind and upbeat. It was apparent to use from the first time we spoke to him that he was exactly who we wanted to DJ our wedding. He has a wonderful, positive energy all around him.
We got married in September 2020. Due to COVID-19, many of our plans changed. Eric was so accommodating and positive throughout. Every time we spoke to him, he was reassuring and enthusiastic. We always felt more relaxed after talking to Eric during the very stressful time of re-planning.
Eric’s music selection at the wedding was absolutely spot on. He read the room and played music that everyone enjoyed and that was appropriate for the energy at that given time.
He put together a special compilation of songs by my favorite artist to play at the wedding. It was an absolute HIT! Everyone enjoyed it and couldn’t stop talking about it!
Eric is also a very talented photographer. He took beautiful photos at the wedding. Most photographers leave shortly after dinner, so it was so wonderful to have photo coverage of the entire night thanks to Eric!
We received nothing but compliments from our guests on how wonderful, fun, and kind our DJ was.
I am already thinking of parties we can have in the future just so we can book Eric again!!
We can’t say enough how much we love Eric!!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Eric is! Our guests never stopped dancing, and I had lots of people say it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. He made the planning process easy and great, especially during COVID. He answered emails and calls right away and gave his honest opinion on everything. Our guests had a blast!! He even took some of my favorite pictures from our wedding day and created a beautiful monogram that made our tent look so pretty. I can't recommend Eric Schiemer enough!
We were so excited to have Eric as our DJ, but we ultimately had to cancel our wedding because of COVID. Eric was great throughout the process. He actually reached out to us to see how we were doing early on before we had cancelled. His online music planner is also great. Once I let him know we were cancelling, he sent us a list of the songs we uploaded which was a nice gesture. I hope we'll get the chance to work with Eric sometime in the future!
I cannot say enough about how AMAZING Eric is! Our guests never stopped dancing, and I had lots of people say it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. The planning process leading up to the day of was easy and fun, too! The online planning tools were SO helpful and Eric was so quick and easy to talk to. I can't recommend Eric Schiemer enough!!!
Eric was an outstanding DJ. I got married in June during COVID. Eric is/was extremely flexible and willing to help in any way he could especially as we considered date changes. He also really helped us plan out our reception and provided helpful guidance and suggestions. His website was great because we could rate different genres of music and put in the songs we wanted. It made it easy to give our input and reassured us that we would enjoy the music at the reception. I was concerned that the monogram light, which he provided for free with our lighting package, would look weird on the dance floor based on our venue set up. Eric assured me that he would only use it if he could find a good spot for it. He put it on the wall over the door to the cocktail hour room and it looked perfect. Throughout the night, he kept our wedding on track while also asking us if we were ready for each thing (speeches, father daughter dance, etc.). This allowed us not to be rushed but also ensured we wouldn’t miss anything. Two days after the wedding, Eric sent us his blog post and Facebook link which he’d written about our wedding. It was very touching. He also sent us the full playlist from our wedding as well as a video he created by putting pictures he had taken to our first dance song. It was an amazing memento that we did not expect! He also mailed us a flash drive with everything on it. Overall, Eric was amazing and gave us way more than we expected. We highly recommend Eric to any couple!
Eric was an exceptional DJ, personable, very helpful and extremely easy to work with. He provided everything that was asked and more, kept the guests very engaged with his selections, and went well beyond what we had expected. As the mother of the bride, I knew which vendors had been chosen but did not have much input into the selection. I was so surprised by all the little extras he provided, including a montage of pictures he had taken set to their first dance music. It was so unexpected, incredibly well done and will remain a treasured keepsake for all of us. We were thrilled with our entire experience, from initial contact to several days after when we received links to his pictures and blog posts. Having a wedding is stressful, trying to have a wedding during a pandemic with constant updates and changes was even more stressful. Eric’s flexibility during all of this, really showed us what type of a person, not just a businessman he is. We are so thankful that we were lucky enough to find him and can’t imagine how anyone else could have done the job to his level of expertise.
Eric was wonderful and really made everyone comfortable during this Time of social distancing by wearing a mask and choosing music that did not rely on close contact dancing.
Eric was a great wedding DJ. He was flexible with the schedule and let us put in our own personal touches. I would highly recommend him.
I truly cannot say enough good things about Schiemer Entertainment. From start to finish, I was completely impressed. During the planning process, Eric makes it known that he is available anytime for questions. He never makes you feel like you are a bother. His website is very modern, leaving you to customize your playlist as much or as little as you would like. I added on his uplighting package which was well worth it. I have had many people ask about our monogram on the wall! Family got to chat a little with Eric during the reception and have made comments about how they really liked him. Looking back at pictures, so many people were dancing the whole night! That is when you know the music is great! For me, I spent a lot of time and effort into doing my own decorations at my reception. I was concerned that my photographers would not get there in time to take pictures of the venue before guests arrived. I asked Eric if he would and sure enough, he took pictures of every detail! I was so happy and relieved. Eric was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn't be happier with my decision!
My favorite thing about Eric is you can tell he loves doing this for a living more than you’ll ever know. From the second I spoke with Eric on the phone, he has such a welcoming and exciting tone. He wants for you to have the best night ever and listens to everything you say. Eric’s passion for music and a really fun time can not go unnoticed. You feel like he’s been a friend for years afterwards! Eric is EXTREMELY timely (emails almost instantly back) and his professional is unmatchable. The dance floor was never empty and all of our guests loved the music that he played. If you want someone who loves what they do, listens, and puts you first ... Eric is your guy!
If you are looking for an awesome DJ who will keep the party going all night, Eric Schiemer is your guy!! Eric was the DJ at my sister's wedding in May of 2018. Two weeks after her wedding we called Eric and booked him for our wedding a year and a half later. It was the easiest wedding decision to make! From the very beginning Eric was extremely easy to work with. He quickly responded to emails/calls and his planning guide online made the process seamless and stress-free! Eric allowed us to pick out specific music that we did/did not want played but reassured us that we did not need to pick enough music for the whole day. His experience allows him to take your requests and create a playlist for the vibe you are going for. He is up to date on all of popular current songs and knows exactly what to play when. The dance floor at our wedding was packed the whole night! Best night of our lives! Eric is the best and I highly recommend him to everyone!
Fantastic! My sister and very good friend both used Eric as their DJ and each wedding was an absolute blast so I knew we needed Eric from the beginning. He was hands down the kindest, most enthusiastic, and stress- relieving vendor of our entire wedding! He made us feel so at ease the whole time and helped immensely with the flow of the reception. The dance floor was packed all night long, he truly knows how to keep a party going! Most importantly, you can tell he truly enjoys himself and is so happy to share in your day. We couldn't recommend Eric enough!
If you need a DJ, please look no further and contact Eric immediately! Trust me, your dance floor will be packed all night! Eric was an absolute dream to work with! From our first meeting, my husband and I knew that he was going to make our special day that much more memorable. Eric is incredibly organized, will keep you on schedule, and isn’t afraid of last minute changes. Not to mention, he’s one of the sweetest human beings on planet earth. His online planning process is a bride’s dream come true. It’s super user friendly and can be accessed up until the week of your wedding. Additionally, Eric will customize your uplighting and dance floor monogram to ensure that your wedding day vision truly comes to life. He even takes candid photos during the reception and puts together a slideshow for you! The slideshow that he made us is something that we’ll cherish forever and we had it the following day! Eric goes above and beyond to make sure that your wedding day is everything you’ve ever dreamed of. 1000% recommend!
From our first meeting, Eric was a paragon of enthusiasm, professionalism, and class. He has a clear mastery of his craft, yet maintains true interest and connection with his clients and their choice of music.
His selection of audio equipment was superb - matching the acoustic needs of our reception perfectly. He was also extremely flexible in working with other vendors and the needs of my wife and I. On top of that, he takes beautiful photos of the reception for free.
I truly cannot recommend his services enough - both in quality and value.
Amazing! We absolutely loved working with Eric for our wedding day. My sister used Eric a few years ago and I knew immediately that I would want to use him for our big day. Eric was great to communicate and plan with prior to our wedding. Eric went over and beyond to work with us on some special request and even spoke to our family about their specific requests. Eric brings the energy you want! He lights up the room from start until end. Eric is a huge crowd pleaser and just so much fun. Everything ran smoothly and as a bride I felt totally comfortable with Eric doing his thing. Our wedding was a blast and Eric made that happen.
Hiring Eric as our DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Eric is extremely organized and professional and went above and beyond to make our wedding so perfect! His website makes it so easy to plan the schedule of events and pick out all the music. The music was very important to us as we love to be on the dance floor and we had no doubt Eric would do a great job. On the day of the wedding Eric was at the venue hours before the ceremony to set up and make sure everything was good to go. During the wedding he made sure that everything ran smoothly, making sure we were on schedule. When it came time for dancing, the dance floor was always full and we had such a blast dancing with our guests. We got so many compliments on the music and how much fun our guests had. The next day Eric had sent us a slideshow of some of the photos he took (which we watched several times that day) and we got to see everyone enjoying themselves. We would highly recommend Eric to anyone!!
Eric was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning of our wedding planning (about a year before) . We knew the minute we met Eric and his friendly and helpful personality who had a passion for making couple's wedding days perfect! I regularly would email him with questions and asking for guidance, he was quickly responsive and was able to help us come up with the perfect wedding reception timeline. Working with his sound song selector was awesome and a lot of fun(hugeeee music library) and it is easy to use. From the beginning of the reception with cocktail hour to dinner to the special dances to party time, He kept the party going all night!!!! Eric's energy and genuine love of DJing can not be missed .Our guests were on the dance floor all night!! Eric also took some incredibly beautiful photos, provided us with a flashdrive of photos, and made a beautiful wedding music video with our photos and our wedding song. Eric was HANDS DOWN the best vendor we worked with throughout the entire wedding process and we couldn't have had the perfect day without his wedding Dj services. My husband and I can not speak any more highly about Schiemer Entertainment Services. Thank you Eric for making the best day of our lives unforgettable!!!
I cannot imagine having anyone else as our DJ! We had the most amazing party from the personalized monogram on the dance floor, entire song lists to choose from for each possible dance, amazing lights and uplighting, and such a fun DJ! Eric got everyone on the floor and excited to dance! We had song choices and Eric would read the dance floor and choose what he thought would work best for the next song. We had people on the dance floor the entire night and everyone said afterwards "it was the most they ever danced at a wedding before". There is no one else to thank for that than Eric!! I highly recommend Eric to anyone and everyone!
My wife and I cannot recommend DJ Eric and Schiemer Entertainment enough! It can almost not be fully described how incredible Eric Schiemer is.
Every song we wanted to hear was played and the entire reception paced perfectly, never making us feel rushed or leaving us (or our guests) restless in open gaps.
Above that, though, what sets Eric Schiemer apart as THE premier music and entertainment vendor is his attention to detail.
His easy-to-use event tracker allows you the option to fully customize exactly what you hear and when. Or if you prefer to do so, just share a few small framing details, and he instinctively runs with the rest.
Every step along the way, from our initial introduction through our Big Day, Eric took the time to get to know us, our interests, our tastes in music, and our desires for the reception, and in doing so, he put my wife and I at absolute ease, as we knew Eric had everything running smoothly.
And did we mention his blog??? OMG. Just the cherry on top of how much he puts in to each and every couple and event, he captured the entire night perfectly in his own recap, along with a touching YouTube highlight reel:
https://schiemerentertainment.com/soldiers-and-sailors-pittsburgh-wedding/
Once you've decided DJ over Band, the next choice by far becomes the easiest, as Schiemer Entertainment is the best possible choice you can make.
There is not a better vendor, business, professional, or person than Eric Schiemer. THANK YOU, ERIC!
There really aren't enough words or enough ways for me to describe how much my husband and I would recommend Eric, but I'm going to try. He was by far my favorite person to work with throughout this entire process. From the very start, Eric brought an excitement and energy that made us feel so special. He has the most amazing planning portal that allows you to easily choose music for every single detail you can think of. Eric also offered to help us choose our music if we needed any suggestions. He's also incredibly flexible and willing to adapt up to the very day of your wedding. As for the day of the wedding, there is nobody better you could have to DJ. I'm not kidding when I say we had more people compliment our DJ than anything else from our wedding. He was so attentive without being intrusive and helped keep the energy up without being over-the-top. It was the perfect balance all day. We had the absolute best time at our reception thanks to him. He also goes way above and beyond by taking his own photos and some videos throughout the day that he had ready to share with us the very next day. Some of my favorite photos from our wedding were actually taken by him! He then sent us a flash drive with a beautiful montage he put together to our first dance song, along with all the photos he had captured that day. He is simply the sweetest person. My husband and I couldn't recommend him enough.
Initially, I will be honest, I was so stressed about the cost of the wedding that I did not want to spend any more than we had to on a DJ, etc. I am so glad that my wife talked me into spending the $, because Eric was the best throughout the whole process. From the initial meeting Eric is full of energy, which reminds you that the planning process should be fun and that it is an exciting time! His website allows you to put songs that you "like, love, and dislike", as well as pick songs for the first dance, etc. so when you think of a song you can add it!
On the wedding day, Eric does a great such a great job setting up and MC/DJing the ceremony and reception. You will see the MC/DJ almost more than anyone else (aside from your spouse) so you need to make sure that you enjoy seeing that MC/DJ, and I couldn't think of anyone better than Eric. After the wedding, we received a great email titled to "Mr. and Mrs." with the playlist from the wedding, pictures, and even a "hype" video with pictures from the day along with the song we first danced to.
If you do not read anything else that I wrote above, read this: Choosing Eric as our DJ was the best decision we made (aside from marrying each other) throughout the wedding process and we feel as though we should have paid double what we did!
Eric is an incredible DJ! We were so happy to have him and he made the reception so much fun. He is energetic and it is clear that he loves what he does. He listened to our music choices and has a great online website where you can add all the songs that you love, like, dislike, etc. He was so professional and a joy to work with! My husband and I and our guests had such a fabulous time, and everyone was dancing all night. Book Eric immediately!!
Eric is the only choice if you want to work with the best DJ ever for your wedding day! Not only is he the kindest, most talented wedding DJ that you could dream of, but he also has an energy that truly brought a light to our reception. His song choice was flawless (aided by his easy-to-use website that allows you to help customize his selection) and our dance floor was packed all night long. Not only is he the most fun to be around but he is also super professional in that his equipment is all top of the line, his set up is sleek and blends in easily to any décor, he always responded quickly to any questions (sometimes even emailing this night shift nurse back at 1am), and he even provided our gorgeous uplighting and dance floor monogram. Eric kept the pace of the reception perfectly and checked in with me multiple times throughout the night. As if being a wildly amazing DJ wasn’t enough, the day after our wedding, Eric posted a blog post to his website that included stunning candid photos from our reception, a complete playlist (so I can relive the best party ever over and over again), and even a slideshow set to music that made me cry. Only a few days later, we received a flash drive with all of this extra content in the mail so that we can keep it forever. I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about DJ Eric and Schiemer Entertainment. He was the absolute best to work with and is responsible for my husband and I and all of guests having the time of our lives at our wedding reception!
Eric is an incredible DJ who was able to read the room and provide us with wonderful music to dance to! We also utilized him for sound for our ceremony, and everything worked out perfectly with the microphone and speakers.
So I know this review is a little late but we booked Eric for our October 2018 wedding, and we cannot say enough good things about him! He fit so well with our personalities, and organized our entire reception perfectly. He even went along with our crazy bridal party intro idea and handled it like the master that he is! We wanted to do "wrestling entrances" and he just asked for all the songs a few days in advance and cut them perfectly for each member of our wedding party. We cannot thank him enough for making our reception so memorable. Book him! you will not regret it.
Eric was truly a top-notch choice for our wedding DJ. He was super supportive on the approach to our wedding day, even helping us feel more relaxed about the fact that we hadn't chosen our first dance song as of a month before our big day! His experience shows, and he did an excellent job from start to finish. We only had a few specific song requests for various parts of the evening, and he played every one. He filled in everything else beautifully, and played requests if he felt they were appropriate for the majority our guests (mostly family, a few friends).
His flexibility was incredibly impressive. Not only was he 100% fine with Skype meetings throughout our process, due to distance, he also drove a solid hour to hour-and-a-half to our venue. Additionally, we had a very small wedding compared to many of the other events he plays at, but he took it all in stride and still ensured that everyone had a great time. He also is not at all an attention-seeking sort of DJ. Some weddings I've been to, the DJ seemed to enjoy hearing himself talking through much of the evening. Eric was not at all like that! He introduced the wedding party, dances, and speeches flawlessly, and then let the music do the rest of the talking.
Not to be forgotten is Eric's incredible website. He makes planning every aspect of the reception a breeze with customizable timelines, song requests, and more. Our only regret is that we didn't utilize it more! But, Eric was totally respectful of the fact that it ended up working better for us to have Skype meetings and discuss the reception as a group.
Lastly, Eric is a truly kind and caring person. Our wedding day was the perfect day, except for the outdoor temperature. It was over 90 degrees with high humidity, and our venue's air conditioning broke overnight before our reception. It was incredibly hot and stuffy in the main room of our reception venue, even after sunset. Eric was so professional throughout the evening, and when we apologized for anything (like the A/C), he took it all in stride and soothed our concerns.
To summarize: you will not regret hiring Eric for your wedding!!! He was a fantastic part of our wedding day, and we can't imagine how it would have been without him. 10/5 stars!
We had so much fun at our wedding with Eric as our DJ! He was a pleasure to work with during the entire planning process. He was professional, organized, and truly listened to our ideas and vision for our wedding reception. From our initial phone meeting, I felt confident that Eric would expertly take care of all of our music, audio and emcee needs. The online planner tool that Eric uses was very helpful for us to request a few songs we definitely wanted to hear (and a couple we did not). It was also great for us to organize our timeline and give Eric more details about our reception. We requested a few songs we liked, and let Eric handle the rest of the music. He also beautifully handled all of the audio and music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. When it came time for our reception, we wanted an elegant but also fun and upbeat atmosphere for all of our guests. Eric took the song requests that we had (some of which we thought were a little random!), and created a perfect wedding playlist that we and all of our guests LOVED. Eric helped keep our guests on the dance floor all night! Thank you Eric for helping to make our wedding day amazing!
Eric was amazing - the website that he is is fantastic and makes it super easy. If you're looking for someone to be professional, have no gimmicks or corny games/dialogue, he is your man. Totally worth the price he charges; all the extra stuff he throws in (taking pictures, getting there super early, sharing the playlists with you afterwards) make it even more of a value. Could not recommend enough!
We were lucky enough to work with the best vendors for our wedding and Eric was no exception! I was planning our wedding from out of town so I was never able to meet Eric until the day of the wedding, but from our first phone call I could tell he was super organized and very attentive to detail which I really appreciated. His online portal was fabulous and gave us the chance to pick our favorite songs and give him an idea of how we wanted the reception timeline to work. We could have as much input as we wanted which I loved. During our final phone call before the wedding, he addressed all of our questions/concerns and we went over everything in detail. On the day of the wedding, he was on top of everything and kept us on schedule. He got everyone on the dance floor and did the perfect amount of emceeing. He knows just when to switch up the music to keep the crowd dancing and it is so clear that he truly loves what he does! He also did our monogram spotlight on the dance floor and he took several photos and videos throughout the night which he sent us the next day. I would highly recommend Eric!
From the moment you book with Eric his attention to detail becomes extremely evident. He allows as little or as much control over your event as you would prefer. For us, we were particular about some things and care free about others. He filled in the gaps perfectly and worked well with our other vendors and venue to allow for a day we imagined it could be for our wedding. Highly recommend Eric!
Eric, owner of Scheimer Entertainment, was PHENONMAL! We found him via a friend who highly reccomeded him. Not only were the bride and groom stasified with him, but our dance floor was packed the entire time. He adds such a personal touch and makes you feel like part of his family. I love his classy style he doesn't conduct a circus by any means. I look forward to attending future weddings with him , as he's a hot commodity for referrals.
Sincerely
The Ericsons <3
Eric was amazing. Plain and simple. He was extremely helpful in picking out appropriate songs for entrances and even father-daughter dance. He will customize your music to reflect your personality and still get people on the dance floor. He is such a great guy to work with and has a fantastic personality. If I ever need a DJ in the future, it will be Eric.
We cannot say enough about our DJ, Eric Schiemer. From his delightful, bubbly personality to the organization of our entire reception, we knew we had made the best decision. We had the time of our lives that evening because Eric handled all the details perfectly. Everyone knew what was happening at every moment because of his experience. We also appreciated the small touches like the social media links, photos & music playlist of the whole evening- an evening we will never forget!
Everyone gave us compliments on our DJ and had a great time! Eric made sure we had a unique experience and everything was perfect.
Couldn’t have had a better experience with our DJ. He was worth every single penny. His voice is perfect and seriously made everyone dance ALL night long. I have been to a ton of weddings recently and had seen so many different DJs and he 1000% percent takes the cake. I recommend to anyone!!
We definitely made the right decision hiring Eric as our wedding DJ! He was super supportive and checked in a lot over the months leading up to our wedding. We never felt like we were bothering him with questions or planning advice. His client portal was easy to navigate. He was able to get songs we requested that weren't already on his database. He even mixed a song especially for our father-daughter "surprise" dance. He was enthusiastic the whole time, at the wedding as well as in every email he sent. We felt really special and cared for in his hands. As an extra bonus, he took great photos of the ceremony and reception and sent them to us less than a week afterward! We hope we never get married again, but would definitely hire Eric again!
Eric is AWESOME!!! He was so great to work with and helped to make our reception more fun than we even imagined. Eric goes out of his way to make sure that your day is everything you want it to be. He makes the music selection process easy and fun with an online tool and he is willing to play anything that you want! My husband and I told Eric that we really wanted to be able to enjoy the reception. Eric made sure to keep everything (cake cutting, dances, etc.) on schedule so that we had plenty of time to dance with our friends and family. My dad and I decided that we wanted to do a fun, choreographed father-daughter dance. I let Eric know about our plans and he was so excited to help us create a great mix of songs for us to use. Our wedding guests were on the dance floor the entire night and that is exactly what my husband and I told Eric we wanted. I had multiple people tell me that they had never danced so much at a wedding! We had the best night and cannot thank Eric enough for helping to make it so much fun! If you're looking for a wedding DJ, we highly recommend picking Eric.
My now-husband and I loved working with Eric for our wedding day! Although we were not able to meet in person beforehand, we bonded over FaceTime and on the day of, it was like we had already known each other for a while. Eric makes the entire process of choosing music seamless - he gives you a private account on his online portal which allows you to pick every song you want to be played. We were very impressed with the professional look of his website as well as the attention to detail. We opted to have him play as many songs on our list as possible, but gave him freedom to play whatever he thought was appropriate at the time. He also allows you to list songs you absolutely do NOT want to be played, which is amazing! If there is a song that you want to be played that is not in his library, Eric is willing to purchase it for you!
On the day of, Eric provided the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as the uplighting and monogram. He was also our go-to for the timeline as well and would come up to us to let us know what was next, which we both appreciated very much. On your wedding day, things can get so hectic that you lose track of time, and Eric was always there to make sure we were on track. He also takes pictures, which he will post on his website (with your permission) and send on a flash drive in the mail. We have loved seeing his pictures of our wedding day as we wait for our professional photographers to send us our edited photos. If you book Schiemer Entertainment for your wedding day, I guarantee you will not regret it!
Eric is SO great to work with! He is such a positive person with such a fun personality. He is really great at what he does. He also makes working with him and planning your DJ services very easy and seamless. Very happy with our decision to work with Eric.
Eric is the best! He was so attentive throughout the planning process and fantastic during the wedding and reception. He loves what he does and is a true professional - he pays close attention to detail and the sound quality was fantastic, both for the music and for speaking/speeches. He is an absolute joy to work with. Book him! You won’t regret it.
