There are wedding bands, and then there’s The Hook Club. The minute we heard them at one of their showcase experiences we knew we had found the purveyors of soul and energy that we were looking for. The Hook Club played a major role in making our wedding reception an unforgettable celebration. The energy they brought was simply electric and it’s no surprise that we received countless compliments from friends and family about how much fun they had.

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. I'm so thrilled Zach was my partner-in-music and helped create my dream wedding!

Our wedding was perfect for many reasons but Jeff went above and beyond for our event as our DJ. We didn’t give much direction as far as songs but Jeff was so intuitive to our crowd that every song made every guest get up out of their seat. Jeff is a pro and the compliments are still being received on the music for the event. Jeff was patient with the requests that came consecutively his way from our guests and he mixed those in seamlessly with the existing set. We could not be happier with the service and Jeff’s commitment to professionalism is second to none. Book Mystic River Entertainment for your next event, we are so glad we did.

Gemma was great! From the very beginning, she was so easy to work with. She was very responsive and really listened to what we wanted. She listened to our concerns about getting some of our guests to dance and gave us a lot of great advice going into the wedding day, like adding dance floor props to get everyone engaged and adjusting our anniversary dance so everyone ends up on the dance floor. She worked with us and curated a great wedding playlist. Our guests complimented us on what a great DJ she was. Everyone loved seeing her behind the booth, dancing along with the guests. At one point, one of our guests dropped a glass and she played “Heart of Glass” right after, which was perfectly timed (lol). She really knew how to read the crowd and keep the energy up while still playing some of our silly requests. She curated a great mashup for the mother/son dance. My brother-in-law wanted to play a piece on a keyboard for part of his speech and Gemma worked with us in providing an amp so everyone could hear the piece. She even took videos during the ceremony and reception and shared them with me afterwards which is something I did not expect but was so grateful to have. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Stop your search now and hire Ryan Todt as your DJ! If we could give him more than 5 stars we absolutely would! We had such a wonderful experience working with Ryan. From day one he was incredibly attentive and worked with us for hours to make sure he understood what we wanted. He checked in often with us to make sure we were doing well throughout the process. He even mixed our first dance song for us when we wanted some cuts put in and it came out BEAUTIFULLY! He kept the dance floor full the whole night, and listened very clearly to what we wanted/didn't want for the night. He made some incredible mixes that we and our guests loved. He is incredibly talented! He made our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception run flawlessly, which helped make our day absolutely perfect. We could not have been more happy with Ryan as our DJ!

Skinnyboy Media 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Serves Palisades, NY for additional fees

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!

Tyson and Sam at Skinny Boy Media were one of my favorite vendors at my wedding. It is so so hard to choose a DJ because you've been to other weddings and had trauma from terrible DJ's that play the same old songs that are awful. Or they don't announce things at the right time or just don't communicate. This was my fear. I was recommended Skinny Boy Media from my photographer in Cincy. Then I noticed he was in Cleveland and I am located in South Central Ohio (where there are no good DJ's). I was so nervous that I was going to have a massive upcharge due to travelling 4.5 hours. I reached out and got a quote from him and discussed the type of wedding I wanted with the music and flow of things. He communicated amazing right from the start and was transparent in pricing and had no problem whatsoever travelling to Southern Ohio/Northern KY. Whew! Then I dragged my feet because this is a large decision. The website of DJ's are hard to tell what they are like. It's not like you can go to a wedding they are at and see if you like it, haha! But then as I looked on a Facebook group of Ohio Bride's to Be I noticed his name kept getting referenced. Which was a good hint. Then I talked to him further about uplighting and Photobooth services for the night. I kept delaying again... Then he reached out to me again telling me someone else wanted my date (July 8) if I didn't want it. That sealed the deal and I paid the deposit online. My husband and I completed a detailed form he provided on Google Docs to say what songs we wanted during what time. And what songs we did not want! We had a video chat with him describing ourselves, the vibe we wanted for our wedding, etc. We are 28yrs and wanted a middle school dance party vibe. I also didn't want songs switched every other minute, but transitioned nicely with reading the crowd. I also asked for some Disney songs during dinner. Man did he deliver!!! It was a party!! And he politely communicated with me during the night, asking if I was ready to begin the dances, the speeches, let dinner tables go to the buffet, etc. We also added a game from 4H camp called Bring-Me and he had it organized on his iPad, let my sister run the game on the mic, etc. The photo booth also sent photos to each person and I got a google drive link to all of them. I chose the Ivy wall with props. I did not choose to have a glow light in the photo background, but that is an option. The 30 uplights literally pulled everything together in the long room! (70ft x 30ft). He was on time, stayed till the end as expected. He also helped create a super special memory for my husband and I that I didn't even plan for! At the end (11:30pm) he had everyone go outside or towards the end of the building and he played "At Last" with just my husband and I. It was so perfect to end the night. If you made it this far...I hope I've convinced you to HIRE SKINNY BOY MEDIA!!! He will communicate like you want, provide a clear contract, provide uplights & a photo booth, travel to your venue without complications, keep things running smooth and does a great job!!

It was so much fun for the guests and made for great memories. We loved that the photobooth had hard copy print outs that guests could take and even could send right to their phone. It could even make gifs, amazing! In terms of music, our guests were on the dance floor all night, which is really all you can hope for! We highly recommend booking with Sound Formula Entertainment.

This is your moment—don’t ruin it with a cheesy DJ. At Aria Melody, we’re your partners in creating a celebration that’s as unique as your love story. Forget the cheesy clichés and one-size-fits-all playlists. We believe in a "less is more" approach, focusing on what truly matters—celebrating your union with the soundtrack that perfectly echoes your style and spirit.

Aria Melody was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the first time we spoke, Joe was warm, calm, and incredibly organized in helping us plan the music for our special day. On the wedding day, he executed everything flawlessly - making announcements at just the right moments, reading the room to play a setlist that kept everyone dancing all night long, and delivering a fun, energetic performance that was exactly what we had envisioned. Joe did an amazing job taking our very long playlist of songs and curating the perfect mix, ensuring the dance floor was packed the entire evening. We felt so reassured and in good hands with Aria Melody, and our guests are still raving about how much fun they had. We highly recommend Joe to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable DJ for their wedding.

My goal for your event is straightforward: to create a musical atmosphere your guests will enjoy, in a tasteful way to conserve your excellent reputation. I look to do this by curating my family-friendly music library with all genres, removing instances or entire songs with profanity, vulgar descriptions, and offensive lyrics. I want you and your guests to feel comfortable for the entirety of the event, starting with the mood music that represents your style, whether you've chosen every song or have a few key picks you want me to build a playlist around.
