We got married in June 2024, and had Thaddeus as our DJ. Mackenzie took care of the photo-booth. Over the course of the 9 months leading up to the wedding I probably had 4 or 5 calls with Thaddeus to give him the general vibe we were looking for & work out details. He was professional, honest, and gave great feedback. We had many specific asks and Thaddeus made sure all of our wants fit into his plan. Once the party was going, we gave Thaddeus the creative freedom to do his thing & make sure our guests had a good time. He totally delivered. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going! Mackenzie was great to work with as well. Empire State Events got more backdrops to choose from in the middle of our planning, so she gave me the option to switch! I’m glad we did, the eucalyptus backdrop fit perfectly with our vision. Mackenzie was incredibly friendly & ready to help anyone that needed assistance. Our guests loved the photo-booth & our kids/nieces & nephews were entertained too! Win-win!

We had Lucas DJ our wedding in Holbox recently. It was originally scheduled for March of 2020, but we had to cancel and move to Jan 2022. He was a true professional and so wonderful! He made himself available for our new date and didn’t even change his rate (even though he very well could have and all our other vendors did). At the wedding, he was incredible and created the most amazing vibe on the dance floor! The most common comment of the night from everyone, including myself: “I have had to pee for hours but don’t want to leave and miss a song!” He also made the most beautiful remixes of Persian dance numbers and other bangers (I am Iranian and my husband is Irish Catholic). Every single guest was on the dance floor for every single minute. On a personal note, he is also just an awesome and nice person. The best money spent for our entire wedding. I can’t recommend him enough and hope to hire him for every party we ever have!

Finding a DJ for your wedding is stressful but we knew we wanted to work with DJ Domenic after our first call. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and was exactly the type of person we wanted to provide the soundtrack to the best day of our lives. My wife and I love music and go to many concerts, and have family and friends of many different backgrounds. We wanted someone who could play music for our wide range of taste but also across generations and genres. We had an absolute blast and spent most the night dancing. My family is of Latino descent and my wife is of Jewish heritage, DJ Dom excellently blended both our cultures and music. It was a true pleasure to work with DJ Dom and his style and music knowledge was perfect. He didn’t try to be a salesman but instead made the whole experience personable and true to us as a couple.

Brian did an amazing job for our hybrid Guyanese-American wedding. With our ceremony, Brian did a great job following our difficult instructions related to some of the music to be played, and did a fantastic job on some of the premixes for the walk. He also had everything needed such as speakers and microphones for the ceremony and confirmed and communicated with us on everything to ensure it went smoothly. We needed a mix of chutney/soca and American music for our reception and Brian did an amazing job that satisfied EVERYONE. He was familiar with a lot of our music, which was awesome, and did an amazing job mixing the music with more American music to satisfy everyone. I can't recall a moment the dance floor was empty. We had an amazing wedding day and LTL was a large reason why our wedding went smoothly and everyone had an amazing time. I would highly recommend LTL for your wedding. Especially if you are multicultural or need someone to provide non-american music, which can be difficult to find in the area. We are so happy we went with Brian and LTL, it was an absolutely amazing party!

It’s the one-on-one relationship that you have with your event host throughout your planning that will, and absolutely should, spill over into the atmosphere of your event. Getting to know you with the desire to personalize your entertainment, not simply customize, is a large part of where creativity comes from, and not just mine, but yours as well! I love to offer many suggestions and ideas for your event but also find it just as important to hear your "unique" and "awesome" ideas.

Caroline was the DJ at my wedding in the beginning of august and the whole entire process from meeting her the first time, to building the playlist, to the final meeting and big day, was so easy and fun! She always checked In with us to see if we had any questions along the way and how we were feeling. Throughout the event she would check in and ask questions to make sure we were okay with guest requests and other things that were going on. I couldn’t suggest a better DJ. The music was everything we hoped for and more. Do not hesitate to have Caroline/upbeat occasions for your wedding. You will not regret!!

You won’t regret hiring Tony and Platinum Entertainment, but you will regret not hiring them. Your DJ/MC is one of the most if not the most important vendor that you will book for your wedding. I didn’t believe it until I saw it, but it’s true. Tony was recommended to us by our wedding photographer, Hannah of Hannah Lux Photography. We set up a video call ASAP and after the first few moments, knew he was the right person for our wedding. It was evident very quickly that Tony is beyond passionate about what he does. Throughout the planning process, Tony guided us through everything we needed, made recommendations, and not only tolerated but encouraged my many Taylor Swift requests (or demands). Our wedding was less than 60 people including my husband and I. With such an intimate wedding, we were nervous for a while leading up to the event that people wouldn’t dance, or might even treat it more like a dinner party than a wedding. We were so wrong! The dance floor went ALL NIGHT because of Tony. Friends and family members that I have never seen dance, on the dance floor for our ENTIRE reception having the time of their lives. Our guests RAVED about our DJ all night and I can’t think of a day that’s passed yet that someone hasn’t mentioned how great he was. Tony is more than a DJ or an MC, Tony is a professional, an expert in his craft, a talented and creative individual, and a genuine, true person and friend. We can’t thank him enough for what he did for us.

Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

I am over the moon with how absolutely perfect things were with DJ Zach! I have very particular music tastes and knew I didn't want your "typical" wedding music (though I'm sure Zach could do a great job with that too); after vibing with Zach on the phone and connecting over our shared love of music, I felt confident he could deliver a wedding I could be personally proud of. And boy, did he deliver! We had an absolutely packed dance floor all night. He did such a fantastic job taking the cue from my song selections and finding the beautiful middle ground between music lover and crowd pleaser.

He was professional and the quality of his work was the best. John showed up on time and was on point with everything as requested. It was the best choice for our family to work with this great company!

They played for our wedding. We couldn't be happier with them. They are all awesome musicians and their set list is gigantic. Everything was super professional. Seth was so helpful to us. Helped plan our day to great detail and made sure everything went down according to plan. What more could you ask for. If you don't book 'em, you're blowin' it!

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

DJ Mast is one of the best!! My husband and I cannot recommend him enough. He is fun, professional, and an expert at his craft! He had all our wedding guests on their feet dancing and having a good time. He is amazing knowing when to switch between music and reading the crowd. My husband and I went for pictures halfway through the evening and there were just as many people were on the dance floor as there were before we left. Most of all, Josh enjoys his job and is so easy to work with. I would most definitely have him DJ my wedding all over again. We can’t thank you enough, Josh!!

DJ Stiles, aka SkinnyBoy Media, has been serving the couples and corporate clients of NorthEastern Ohio since 2014. With hundreds of weddings, parties and corporate events, SkinnyBoy Media has the knowledge, the equipment, and the look to take your event to the next level!

It was amazing to work with Tyson! The final meeting before the wedding was so helpful for us to fully understand what our day will look like. On top of being our DJ, he was also our officiant. It was such an awesome service for him to offer. He was easy to work with to make minor changes to the ceremony script. He brought such a positive and fun energy to our ceremony. Then as we moved into the reception, we had some specific requests for music and announcements and he was able to make everything flow perfectly, just as we had imagined. He kept people on the dance floor all night and it was such a blast! Definitely could not recommend Tyson more for your wedding officiant and DJ!
