We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication.

You can't go wrong with DJ Chris! We worked with him on our wedding day this fall and we couldn't have asked for a more accommodating and easy DJ to work with. Chris communicated with us ahead of the event to discuss music preferences (including a must play and do not play list) and confirmed all the little details to make sure the day went smoothly. We got so many compliments on our party playlist and DJ Chris kept the dance floor rocking the whole night! He also did a great job accommodating requests from our guests and checking in with us to make sure the music at the event was exactly what we wanted to hear.

I can’t say enough good things about Tyson. He communicated with us so clearly, was so careful and caring with our day. We are extremely passionate about music and he took that to heart and curated the party vibe accordingly. Genuinely everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. 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. We booked pretty much every service he offers and he knocked it all out of the park seamlessly.

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).

Jack was a true partner during our wedding planning and on our day. He worked with us on song selection (there were a couple of songs we drew a blank on), helped fine-tune the schedule of events and worked with our photographer and venue to iron out the details and make sure they were all on the same page. We kept the song selection up to him as much as we could, providing some "dos" and "don't" and he did the rest. We got several comments on the music after the fact from both friends and family, so he managed to please both crowds. I'd highly recommend Jack to anyone.

Overall music selection and sound was great, maybe a little too loud a some points but that may also be due to speaker placement. There was an issue with the DJ going to the wrong site initially. Our venue had 3 ceremony/reception sites, and he set up across the street at one of the other sites. This caused a delay in set up, but our coordinator and site manger were able to help him. I don’t think he verified with anyone when he arrived that he was at the correct wedding before setting up. Ceremony music sound was great.

Was the opening act for Cherelle, Alexander O’Neal, Mary Jane Girls, Midnight Star, Con Fun Shun, Switch, Regina Belle, Bunny and Chico DeBarge.

They were so professional and very easy to do business with. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was right for my mother’s 70th birthday party and the performance was amazing!!

Great Day Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Serves Independence, 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 from Great Day Entertainment was an amazing addition to our team of vendors for our wedding. He was professional, on time, and a great assistance in keeping things moving through the evening. He was able to handle any issues that arose to make sure we had a great evening, from our outdoor ceremony that ended up going completely off script to keeping the dance floor full until the end of the night. If you’re looking for a great, experienced DJ to get the job done you will not be disappointed.

Jim at Hifi entertainment was great to work with! When it comes to dj’s there’s a few things I look for : Good communication, approachable, and knows his audience to keep the party going on the dance floor. He checked all these for me. As a videographer there have been a few times where key events were happening that I was never informed about. Jim made sure nothing important happened until I was in the room and ready to roll. That right there is a huge win. He kept me up to speed on everything happening that night. His audio system sounded phenomenal! He invests in great equipment and I have so much great footage of guests on the dance floor having an amazing night. I hope to work with him again real soon!

  • Starts at $990
  • Serves Independence, OH

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!
