  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $300

I love to personalize your wedding music to create the exact ambiance you are looking for. Whatever your style, I can promise expressive, meaningful music that will become the soundtrack to the best day of your life. I can play the traditional songs you have been looking forward to all your life, or shake things up by taking your favorite pop or rock song and turning it into a lovely bridal entrance song! I have been married for 10 years and I remember the overwhelm that came with planning a wedding. I am here to help make your wedding music decisions easy and stress free!

Awarded Best of Zola
Veronica played for our wedding ceremony and it was the perfect addition to our day. She is so talented and professional! Not only does she have great selections to choose from but there is an option for her to learn songs of your choosing. This was so important to me because I wanted to surprise my fiance with a song. The only suggestion I have (for couples not Veronica herself!) is having some way to record her playing so you are able to enjoy it as well after. Veronica was so kind to send recordings of two songs after our wedding and I am so grateful to have them. She fulfilled my vision of a classical meets modern wedding ceremony. Highly recommend!

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Being a wedding planner, working with top notch vendors is very important to me. And working with Obie did not disappoint! He is very professional to work with and talk about getting a party started, Obie is your guy. You can't go wrong with Obie emceeing your event!

These guys were amazing. My husband, dad and many other people who attended the wedding and are all musicians were so impressed and guests in general keep messaging me saying how great they were! Cannot recommend them enough. I was so excited too because they ended up playing a Sammy Rae song off the playlist I sent them (one of my favorite artists). We had a few of them play our ceremony too and as soon as heard them play something by the Beatles I immediately started tearing up. Get these guys for your wedding or event! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

Carter Events and Entertainment was a really good experience. We did bundle package DJ, photography and photo booth. We were very happy in all areas. The Photographer worked with the bride and groom too make sure they got what they wanted. Steve the DJ was very energetic and interacted with the crowd. It's was a very good experience and we will remember for years.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a very small and intimate wedding ceremony and Anna made it so incredibly special. From start to finish, Anna was a a true professional. She responded right away to an inquiry and provided an amazing planning document for us to work off of. She showed up early to our ceremony and performed everything just how we expected. Anna made our small ceremony feel so intimate and special. Everyone is talking about how magical the violin was. I would highly recommend Anna for any event, big or small. Anna's outstanding talent and professionalism are truly unbeatable.

Skinnyboy Media

Medina, OH
  • DJ
  • Serves Russell, IL 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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Me and my now Wife found William through Zola. He was very professional and very flexible as our wedding was on a private beach home and completely put together by Her and I and a couple family members. Needless to say, William was the most stress free part of our wedding planning, despite having to travel 3 hours and additionally having to learn a custom wedding song for us. I would fully recommend him to anyone needing a reliable, legit, and reasonably priced Musician!
