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!!

When it comes to weddings, there's only one chance to get it right! It's why I care so much about each wedding and that I treat each one as if it were my own! THAT is the kind of passion I give each and every one of my couples to not only ensure the vision for their day comes to reality but that their ONLY 'responsibility' on their wedding day is to celebrate with their family and friends! Quite frankly, I LOVE weddings and I consider it an honor to be part of their day & assisting them in creating lifelong memories (not to mention the amount of trust that my couples place upon me).

We truly cannot say enough about having Jack DJ for our May 2024 wedding. We both have large families and friends, all of whom like to dance and party. I personally think a DJ/music can absolutely make or break a wedding, so we were very nervous when making our decision. After the initial phone call with him, we were very happy with our choice. He played such a mix of music, all of which we loved. We gave him a small list of songs we absolutely wanted to hear, but wanted him to also do his own thing, which we are so glad we did! He is professional, so on top of the music and can read the room perfectly. And he doesn't constantly talk like other wedding DJs. The dance floor was packed ALL night long – and most of our guests stayed the entire night. Even on a Monday night when many had to work the next day!! My only disappointment was that we couldn't have Jack for longer! You absolutely will not regret booking Jack. TRUST ME!!!

Jonny did such a great job at our wedding! He was very flexible given that we had to move inside due to rain. He did everything he could to keep our schedule on track. Overall he was very friendly and full of energy. The only thing that was missing was that he may have forgotten we made a last minute change the week of and requested to have an open mic during speeches. However, this was easy to overlook since he did such an amazing job with everything else!

He took a strange request from me for the father daughter dance and executed it exceptionally, he learned the song I wanted to walk the aisle to on guitar beautifully, and the photobooth was a HUGE hit. I had multiple people ask me if Tyson knew us personally because the music was perfectly synced to who we are. We spoke on the phone for over an our telling him what we like and don’t like and he really worked with it.

I booked C-Town Entertainment at the recommendation of another bride, and I was so happy with Bob and his assistant! I may be biased, but ours was one of the most fun weddings I have been to. Everything ran smoothly and Bob did a great job reading the room and picking songs that brought people to the dance floor whenever needed. He checked in with me and my family/bridal party throughout the evening and made last minute adjustments as needed. He was professional and made sure we had all the moments and songs that we wanted. I have been to weddings with DJs who were not as skilled and it makes a big difference in the flow and energy of the evening. My guests started chanting “one more song!” at the end of the evening, and I think that says it all. I cannot thank you all enough for the care you put into our wedding!

Lightwave completely transformed our wedding reception hall and made it a night to remember! The team at Lightwave was super professional, punctual, and great at communicating. Bry, Hecky, and DJ Alyssa were all such a pleasure to work with and I cannot thank them enough for their dedication to making our big day even more beautiful than we could’ve imagined. The production level and attention to detail at Lightwave is unmatched. I would recommend them over and over for any event.

Great Day Entertainment 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Akron, OH

A 27 year broadcast veteran, I understand the importance of attention to detail. Names pronounced correctly..the FIRST time! Making the couple the stars of the show and giving them the day they dreamed of without exception!

Gary was so fun and easy to work with! He was professional and organized while also being easy-going. My partner had been a guest at a prior wedding that Gary DJ'd, and had a blast, so we knew we would be in great hands for our own wedding, and Gary certainly did not disappoint. Also, as an example of his flexibility and consideration, at the end of the night he played our last three songs as we had requested, but of course some of our friends weren't quite ready to be done dancing yet, so he asked us what we wanted to do. We really appreciated all of his hard work to make sure that we didn't have to worry about anything and got to just enjoy our day!
