I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for being an amazing DJ. You truly went above and beyond for Ken and I to make our wedding day special. We are grateful beyond words for your kindness, professionalism, and class. My husband and I had made a Spotify list since we knew what songs we liked and had been to other weddings in the past. Ken and I wanted to find a DJ that would LISTEN and we found him!!!! Hiring DJ Ivan was the best decision we made (besides marrying each other). DJ Ivan and Imani were extremely professional, kind, and classy. They asked each bridesmaid and groomsman how to pronounce their names and he was very detailed oriented. He made our wedding day his own and only offered the best service. I would ONLY recommend DJ Ivan to family and friends. If you don’t want to worry about your DJ and want him to listen to you, hire DJ Ivan. You will not be disappointed. In a world where people do not go above and beyond…DJ Ivan fights that stigma and gave us so much more. Thank you DJ Ivan and we will be sending everyone to you!

DJ Liza was by far one of the best wedding DJs, and I’m so grateful that we were able to book her for our big day!! Coming the night before to our rehearsal dinner was by far one of the most helpful things she contributed to our big day— she gave so many helpful tips, and ensured that our day went as smoothly as possible. Liza went out of her way during the day of to make sure that my husband and I had a good time!! She was able to pull my playlists from Spotify, made sure we had drinks for every toast, and adjust last minute when we needed to change something. She was affordable, fun, and genuinely cared about our guests and us! We got so many compliments on the music and dancefloor. DJ Liza is the best!!

  • Starts at $990

We understand you want your event to be fun, yet elegant and classy – but most of all stress-free. We’re dedicated to putting on a fun, yet elegant show for you and your guests. We don’t make unbecoming jokes, perform cheesy acts or display tasteless advertisements.

Streamcle is a preferred partner of By Request. We provide Livestreaming, event photography and custom production at many of their weddings and events. One of the best things about By Request is that their Djs are in constant contact with all vendors throughout the day, and they keep the guests informed too so no one misses a moment. By Request is small enough to provide a one of a kind experience but large enough to be able to staff and furnish equipment to multiple locations and large events on any given day. Couples and hosts are treated to custom service so no two events are alike. Their inventory is modern, clean, well maintained and frequently upgraded. We look forward to future events together!

We didn't do anything traditional or on a schedule and they worked with it great. They had all the requested music, even some wacky stuff no one would know! Our DJ let us know when it was time to do things and how, and even when we were late getting the cake out - it helped a lot!

Our reception was everything we could've dreamed of and more all thanks to Follow the Sun! While we were exploring our options for a live band we got a recommendation to check out FtS, so we went to see them perform live and we knew right away they were the band for us. They are incredibly talented musicians and the band has great chemistry. They bring great energy and get the crowd going. And that was all just from observing before we even spoke with them regarding booking! FtS goes above and beyond to provide a customized experience. Once we inquired about booking they made the whole process so easy and fun for us. We met to discuss our vision for our day, and they were so accommodating as well as provided great insight for us from their experience with other weddings. They have an amazing set list of songs to choose from. Over the weeks leading up to the wedding, any questions we had they were quick to respond and so kind. We had custom requests with family traditions/songs and FtS were able make it all fit seamlessly into the evening. Our dancefloor was packed all night because of the incredible job the band did. We are so thankful and would highly recommend them to any couple interested in live music for their big day. Special shoutout to Sophie for being so attentive and answering all of our questions, and to Richie for being an INCREDIBLE master of ceremonies handling bridal party introductions and announcements throughout the evening. We didn't have to worry about a thing, you made our night so special and fun. Thank you for everything! PS - Even though our wedding was almost 2 years ago now, we still follow the band and go out and see them perform every chance we get! They are amazing and just keep getting better!!

ESQ DJ & Strings 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Akron, OH

Elegance Quartet and DJ Fusion is a live music company serving both Philadelphia and Cleveland. We specialize in custom entertainment packages for couples looking to give their wedding guests a unique and unforgettable experience. Our elite team is unlike any other, tailoring our particular set of skills to your vision, and providing evolving entertainment throughout your event that captivates your guests, complements your style, and honors your love story through carefully-programmed music.

Tldr: If you are looking for talented live musicians, an organized (and truly lovely) planning team, and a wedding or event filled with beautiful music and dancing – book ESQ! We truly cannot say enough good things (and are looking for every excuse to book them again in the future)! ESQ was recommended to us by friends who were planning their wedding and had booked them. Our friends described them as fantastic to work with, very communicative, and organized. From our initial phone call with Jenny and Ray, we knew we had found our perfect fit for our wedding music professionals. We booked them and then got a preview of them in action at our friends’ wedding – where we had a blast dancing all night long – solidifying that we had made the right decision. Jenny with her contagious, positive energy and Ray with his strong attention to detail make an incredible team in the planning process. ESQ was truly a beacon of light during what is often a stressful planning process. Jenny and Ray got to know us and our relationship with each other, walked us through the flow of the event, brainstormed song choices with us, and were incredibly gracious with incorporating some last minute requests. ESQ made planning fun, personal, and they really took the time to understand us, the special moments we valued and wanted to highlight. Music is such a personal thing and choosing who represented the music at our wedding felt like a really big choice. We knew three things when we set out to find our wedding music professionals: (1) we wanted live music incorporated into the day; (2) we wanted a DJ for the reception for ultimate song choice flexibility (we have a wide range of music tastes and it sure showed at the wedding); and (3) we wanted a party on the dance floor. We honestly weren’t convinced that we could find a group that could do all three, but ESQ delivered on these three big things and more! ESQ stood out to us with their unique and talented string quartet, their fun and easygoing personalities, their professionalism and frequent communication, and how much they genuinely care about the couples they work with. Their repertoire is vast – we were overwhelmed (in a good way) with the vast range of songs they are prepared to play live. As for the actual wedding day, we may be biased but the music at our wedding was incredible. One of the things that drew us to ESQ in the first place was their dynamic ability to transition the music throughout the night – setting a romantic, timeless scene for our wedding ceremony with their live strings, transitioning to upbeat covers of modern songs for our cocktail hour, and really turning up the party with Jenny as the DJ and the accompanying electric strings. Our guests learned the choreography to Chappell Roan’s “Hot To Go,” belted out Teenage Dirtbag, and were delightfully surprised by Simple Plan’s rendition of “What’s New Scooby Doo” (Trust me it’s a banger). You could not pry our feet from the dance floor – we (bride groom) with all of our guests danced the night away. As one of our friends remarked to us after the event “it was banger after banger and it was impossible to find a bad song to sneak away for a bathroom break.” ESQ was one of the most memorable parts of the day and our guests have continued to share how beautiful the ceremony arrangements were, how fun and unique ESQ was particularly during cocktail hour and the reception, and how sore they were the next day after all the dancing!
