Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be happier with our choice to have Ivan as our DJ. He was cordial, organized, friendly, and fun. He met with us beforehand to go over logistics and preferences but was totally flexible when things shifted on the actual day (as they always do). His music taste is fantastic and was perfectly suited to our recommendations for the reception (and we are both very particular about music). During our meeting before the wedding, we were very specific in our requests, both of songs to play and to avoid— he understood the themes and picked a great set list to dance the night away. Our guests packed out the dance floor and still talk about how fun the dancing was at our wedding, thanks to Ivan. I can’t speak highly enough of DJ Ivan!

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.

THE definitive choice for distinctive “Non-Cheesy, Non-Obnoxious” DJ+MC with a genuine approach, philosophy & attitude towards DJ entertainment (especially weddings) that truly separates my service from the standard, run-of-the-mill wedding DJs & DJ services. The weddings I DJ+MC are all about an organic vibe, inclusion, relaxation AND most importantly – FUN! “Relaxed, inclusive, organic & fun!” I do not believe in berating your guests to “get on the dance floor’ or “put their hands in the air”. I want everyone to have a great time doing what THEY feel like doing. Your wedding deserves a DJ who actually gets it.

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.

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!

Tyson was AMAZING for our wedding. He created awesome playlists to match our taste for dinner and cocktail hour, he queued up all of our music for our big moments like the recessional and our dances perfectly, and he went out of his way to make a specific mix for my husband and his mom's first dance. He also managed the acoustics of The Arcade beautifully. Our dance floor was packed all night, and guests complimented us the next morning on how great Tyson's transitions were. Since the first day we booked with Tyson, all the way up to our last song, we had zero doubts in choosing him. :)

Follow the Sun is seriously the best band ever! Not only do they sound amazing, they were so easy to communicate and plan with and are just genuinely good people. Prior to booking, we came out to watch a live performance and even though they were crazy busy, they each made a point to come say hi and get to know us a little bit. Sophie (our contact person for emails while planning) was personable, responsive, and beyond accommodating. They offer complimentary song requests during the planning process and personalized their performances to include us and our people They also played our ceremony live, and it was better than I could have ever imagined it would be! All we wanted for our wedding day was to celebrate and have fun with our friends and family, and Follow the Sun was the exact vibe we were looking for! I don’t think we left the dance floor once all night, other than to take sunset photos. Richie got our daughter involved by giving her a pick and letting her play his guitar mid performance, a highlight she hasn’t stopped talking about and will never forget!! Annnd they shared a bag of Doritos with me at the end of the night during cleanup, that I will never forget! Lol (trust me, when the wedding is over and you realize you never really get a chance to eat the entire day, you will get it ) Just another example of how great these people are!! We received so many compliments from our guests and everyone wanted to know who the band was! Seriously, one of the best decisions we made was booking with them! From the planning, to the ceremony, to the reception and even after, the band was so great to work with. We are already planning a trip to the Cleveland area to catch one of their upcoming shows! If you are looking for an upbeat, energetic, personable, genuinely fun, professional band that sounds amazing, don’t hesitate, book now! You won’t regret it!!
