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).

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.

By Request Mobile Dj Service

  • Starts at $990
  • Serves Kent, 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!

If you’re on the fence, book them. This band is the best I’ve seen at the wedding and you’ll be amazed at what they can do with 3-4 people.
