Jay R was our wedding DJ and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! He was so well organized leading up to the day and everything ran seamlessly the day of. He was super engaging with us and our guests and kept the party going all night long! Our guests were raving about what a fun time they had and we couldn’t be happier with it all!

They did an amazing job and did so much to help make our wedding a blast! From the ceremony to the reception all of the music was great and their planning materials were so easy to detail everything we wanted for the day. We were on the dance floor as much as we could be and it was just such a fun night and that’s thanks to our great DJ, Jay. They also did lighting and our photo booth and everything looked so good. The line for the photo booth never ended and we got copies of all the photos and they’ve been so fun to look through!

Jay R was an absolute gem to work with! After we saw/heard his work at a friend's wedding, we decided to book a consult for our reception. He put us at ease and took a ton of the stress off of our shoulders. Not only was he a superb DJ/MC, he also helped with the day-of coordination with other vendors. 100000/10, would work with him again in a heartbeat.

We met Jay R at the Cleveland Wedding Expo - he paired us with Mike B for our wedding. Mike was the best! He was super friendly when we met him and he totally understood what we were looking for in regard to our reception. We wanted classic and fun with some rock/rap thrown in! He absolutely nailed it! We are 3 months out from our wedding and people are still raving about our reception and DJ! We also rented the Photo Booth for our guest book.. looking back on these memories are great! The attendant was friendly and fun! Our guests had the best night and so did we!

Selective Sound was the absolute BEST! Jay R was our DJ and he was incredible. We had my daughter's wedding at The Barn at Mapleside Farms 2-24-24. He was attentive and super easy to work with. I had zero stress because he had everything covered. I had so many guests compliment the DJ. Our dance floor was packed from start to finish and he was a wonderful MC. Can not say enough about their service and performance. Highly recommend!

DJ Rich did an amazing job at our wedding. He met with us before hand and gave a lot of input for our music selection. He played exactly what we asked him to and he also played some great songs that got everyone on the dance floor. His experience made the flow of the evening go well. We couldn't of asked for a better DJ for our wedding! We also added on the photobooth package which was a huge hit with all of our guests! The booth was run very smoothly and the pictures turned out great.

He delivered on everything we had hoped for our music, lighting, and entertainment. He kept the dance floor packed the entire night!!!! Our guests complimented the music as one of the best DJ's they had experienced at a wedding.Don't hesitate in hiring Jay through Selective Sound, you can trust your night will be unforgetable.

From the initial conversation with Jay, I knew I would be in good hands with selective sound. Closer to the wedding I did feel some stress because I hadn't heard too much from DJ Marcus. Turns out, I was being an over-stressed bride because he CRUSHED it. Our dance floor was going all night long. There was not a moment we're it looked empty in the slightest. He kept the good vibes rolling and everyone had a blast!!

We had DJ Rich from Selective Sound Entertainment for our wedding and he was amazing! He met with us in person so he could get to know us and made sure that the big decisions on music were left up to us. There were some last minute changes and he made sure everything happened perfectly. We trusted him to fill in gaps where we didn’t have specific music requests like before the ceremony while guests were arriving, cocktail hour, and dinner and his experience truly showed because everything was great. We got so many compliments on the ceremony music and the reception music! We told Rich that we wanted people on the dance floor all night and that’s exactly what happened. Rich read the room and played to the crowd.
We also got a photo booth through selective sound as well - they made sure they had an employee there running the photo booth and putting all of the photos in the album for us. People had such a great time doing that as well.
We truly would not have changed anything. We have a couple friends getting married soon that have chosen selective sound as well and they are even more comfortable in their decision and we would recommend DJ Rich to anyone who asks! Thank you so Selective Sound for helping us have our dream wedding!

Jay R was SO helpful from start to finish with all of our wedding planning. He knew our wedding venue well so he was able to help me plan for things I was completely unaware of. He was so easy to work with when I wanted to add a photo booth to our package towards the end of planning and answered all of my emails very quickly. Marcus was our DJ and everyone at our wedding loved him. He helped me plan the entire day and worked well with the timelines I had from other vendors. Our photo booth tech was also great, he put up with my friends all night and was super helpful with small kids trying to take pictures. Being able to accomplish so many things through one vendor was amazing.

DJ Danny was paired with us and it was great. We are a queer couple. I am very alternative. Both my husband and I are very diverse with music. DJ Danny helped us make our wedding night for our love of music as well as through the ages for all our family and friends to enjoy as well. He also listened to my extensive "no list" unless there was a special request then we agreed to let it slide. I didn't want Cotton Eye Joe playing at our wedding. Everything was great. He made extra effort to last minute change some things as well. He also double checked information to not mispronounce names. Lastly, we just felt very confident in him as our DJ.

We hired Selective Sound for DJ and up-lighting for our wedding at Tenk West Bank in May 2022. I was super nervous/picky about hiring a DJ because I've been to weddings where the DJ really doesn't know what they're doing and it makes the day pretty chaotic and unpleasant for guests. We could not have had a better experience with Selective Sound! Jay R was super approachable and very easy to work with in the early days of planning. He answered the many questions I had without pressuring me to purchase anything I didn't want or have the budget for. We ended up doing a 32-piece uplighting at our venue and it totally enhanced the space (as Jay said that it would!). On wedding day, our DJ was Marcus. We loved Marcus!!! Marcus was super thorough and made me feel totally at ease. He was cool as a cucumber the whole night and I knew that our wedding was in good hands. The dance floor was SUPER important to my husband and I. We've got a lot of big dancers in our group and we really wanted modern music while also saving some space for oldies for our parents. Marcus had the perfect blend and he really kept us hyped until the very last song! We received a ton of compliments about the energy of our day and that had a lot to do with Marcus! Wedding entertainment can make or break your day. Marcus and Selective Sound made ours incredible and we are so grateful!!

Selective Sound (DJ RICH!!) was our DJ at Whitehall Columbia and made our music dreams come true! They say music and food can make our break your wedding and Selective Sound and Driftwood Catering is the ULTIMATE combo!

I can only hope that we can work with Selective Sound and Rich in the future!

WOW, what a wonderful DJ we found in Devin! He rocked my son's 9-26-21 wedding right off the bat...broke out the LOVE SHACK (my request lol!!) first thing and EVERYONE poured onto the dancefloor! He continued to play great hits for all the demographics present, and kept the party rolling. There was never a lull...actually later into the night, I looked around and there were only 2 people sitting at the tables...the rest of us were rocking it out on the dance floor. Folks called and texted the following day saying they had never had so much fun at any wedding!! Thanks Devin, for a stellar memorable night!

Jay R and the team were great to work with. They supplied decor, lighting, a photo mirror, and cryo for our big day. Everything looked stunning on our day. Lights, the ambiance, the chandeliers, all elevated everything to the next level. I was so impressed by the lighting in the room.
The only thing keeping us at a four star instead of five, was that we had quick responses from Jay R, but when we were assigned our DJ, the communication was poor, and that did not make us feel important at all, especially for paying 11k for everything.
Overall, I am impressed with SSE - they were fantastic to work with and their team made sure we were ready to rock and roll on our big day - that meant a lot to us.

As he can attest, Jay R was much more than a DJ for me. His experience in the wedding industry was invaluable. He was like a mini-wedding planner. Admittedly, I took on a lot as a bride. (I recommend to reduce stress everyone should probably get a wedding planner). At our first few meetings, I certainly was not prepared. Jay's questions of "well who is doing this?" or "who is doing that" really helped me think of aspects I had never even considered! By the end I felt much more prepared. I also had no idea how lighting worked, but Jay and his team were absolute pros. Our wedding was absolutely stunning with the additional bistro lights over the dance floor, and the numerous chandeliers throughout the tent or out in the trees! Day of I felt at ease because he helped guide the way. He was never once pushy, always checked with us asking if we were ready to move on to the next item. Because of all our prep work he didn't feel like a stranger by the time the big day came. So very happy we were able to connect! Highly highly recommend!

Jay R and his team are amazing! They did the lighting for my daughters October wedding and I couldn't recommend them enough. After covid had other plans for my daughters wedding we had to move her reception to her backyard. I knew I wanted it to feel as much like a wedding venue as I could. I hired Jay R and his team to do the lighting for the tent and he didn't disappoint. He was super responsive to all my emails and questions, had great suggestions and quickly accommodated any changes I wanted to do. It turned out so beautiful I was blown away. If you need lighting for your venue hire Jay R and Selective Sound you will NOT regret it!!! Thank you Jay R

I cannot say enough about Selective Sound Entertainment’s crew! Brian was my DJ and he was phenomenal! He was quick to respond, put my mind at ease, and handled the ceremony and reception beautifully. Everyone raved about the energy in the room. I also used their amber uplighting for the ballroom and it was gorgeous! I decided to also add on a photo station. So glad I did! It was a huge hit and the photo tech was incredibly helpful and polite. I would highly recommend this team! Thanks for making my wedding unforgettable.

Jay R and Selective Sound Entertainment were the best partners in town for 'LIGHTING, SOUND AND SET UP'. They offer so many services, making your day so easy and effortless. There customer service is not met and helped with ideas of lighting and sound set up. Their team met us at our venue and assured us a hassle free day. They are very professional and know all the details regarding lighting and sound perfection. They helped us navigate through Covid and these types of vendors that are warm, flexible and understanding will be around for a long time. I am truly appreciative for their help! FIVE STARS.

We had a DJ, lighting, strings trio, and photo booth through Selective Sound. Jay R was always extremely responsive and worked with us through every detail. DJ Patrick ran our reception and was great! He spoke with us multiple times prior to our event to make sure our day went the way we wanted it to.

Through our venue we had to use Selective Sound which made me nervous since I did not get to select them but I am SO GLAD that we had them! Jay R and Patrick were so easy to work with. They would respond to emails quickly and professionally. Patrick was our DJ and he understood exactly the music we wanted to hear during our wedding! As a surprise to me, he played the Bowling Green fight song which made me and all of my college friends so happy! We also had a photo booth through them and it was so worth it! I love receiving a photo album with everyone's pictures and sweet messages inside. It's a wonderful souvenir from our wedding that we got to take home that night! I would HIGHLY recommend going with Selective Sound as your DJ/Lighting company!

This review is specifically for Jay R of SSE.
Jay R is a 10/10 because I literally can't think of anything I'd change about our experience. A few of our wedding guests mentioned that the music volume was just a touch loud, but I thought it was perfect, considering the event (and I have sensitive hearing!).
Some things we especially liked:
- Jay R was extremely responsive via all forms of communication
- Jay R was perfectly accommodating of our requests, but he was also real with us (in a way that was polite yet clear) about the things that, in his experience, typically 'work' for weddings -- something we newbies really appreciated
- It was such a relief to have Jay R for our ceremony, which went perfectly; his mic-jobs (two lapel mics, one on a stand) were perfect and discreet
- True to his word, Jay R vamped one of our processional songs with a smooth crossfade that probably zero people noticed
- Jay R didn't just care about getting his own job done and getting outta there; he seemed to have all vendors' itineraries in his head at once -- he was essentially our point man for the entire evening, for all things, not just music (and in that way, he partly helped us to plan the wedding!)
- The extent to which Jay R interacted with the crowd was just right -- I wouldn't have asked for any more or any less
- One of our favorite things: we made a lot of Play-If-Possible song requests that probably weren't very wedding-friendly (e.g. the full studio version of Richard Harris's "MacArthur Park"), but Jay R managed to play a truly amazing percentage of them, and all at the perfect moments
- Jay R was immediately responsive to the movements (as it were) of the dance floor; he'd start a song and, if it wasn't catching, smoothly beatmatch it with another song and move on
- To top it all off, Jay R has a cheerful personality and a great sense of humor!

Our DJ, Jay R, from Selective Sound absolutely crushed it! He was very professional to work with but also a lot of fun. Super responsive to any request we had, very knowledgeable and experienced, and he listened to what we wanted. Our dance floor was packed basically the entire night! I honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience. If you’re looking for a DJ who will listen, adapt to what you want, and most importantly throw an awesome, professional party then I would highly recommend Jay R and Selective Sound. 10/10!

We used Selective Sound for our October wedding and would recommend them a thousand times! They provided the lighting and DJ services. Our DJ, Brian, was so great to work with. He was professional, personable, and kept the night going smoothly. Our venue was Cleveland City Hall which has extremely high ceilings making the acoustics a little tricky. He went above and beyond to make sure the speakersand microphones were so clear for both the music and speeches. We also got SO many compliments on the lighting as it set the tone for the evening. Overall, Jay R, Brian, and everybody else at SSE was very helpful and accommodating.

My experience with Selective Sound was phenomenal! My Husband and I had the pleasure of working with Jay R and Marcus (who was our actual DJ). Both of whom were easy to work with and were 100% invested in how to make our wedding day everything we wanted and more. Prior to the wedding, Marcus made sure that all of the music and timelines were accurate and planned. We live in Columbus so he did not hesitate to Skype us at anytime of the day that worked best for us. At the ceremony and reception the music was PERFECTLY timed and everyone was up dancing once the reception started, even the elderly attendees who don't like to move much. We received compliments from all of our guests about Marcus and we highly recommend them for any event that is in need for DJ services.

Selective Sound is absolutely AMAZING! Jay R was so responsive and professional during the booking and planning process. He was able to match a videography package that would cover all the important events of the day! DJ Rich kept the dance floor full all night long. He even kept the father-daughter dance song a secret since my dad wanted to have a little surprise for me! It was the best wedding ever. We will always recommend Selective Sound!

Mike B was our DJ for our wedding a little over a month ago. not only was he so easy to work with, he was personable and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The dance floor was packed the whole night and we had so many complements during and after our wedding! We would highly recommend Selective Sounds and Mike B!
