The Cleveland Music Group was fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their communication was quick, easy, and productive. They were responsive and helpful in nailing down the dance floor details for our big day. On the wedding day itself, DJ Eric Smith provided a truly excellent experience - he kept the dance floor packed the entire night by playing all the right songs based on our music preferences and respected our wishes to keep emceeing to a minimum. We would highly recommend the Cleveland Music Group to any couple looking for an amazing and experienced DJ for their wedding. They played a huge part in making our special day perfect!

We hired The Element through Cle Music Group. They were amazing! Weeks after the wedding we were still getting compliments on how good the band was. Someone even told us, “They were the best wedding band they have ever seen!”
Erin, their lead, was soooo good! She also met with us a couple times before the big day to make sure all the details for special dances, entrances, cake cutting, etc, were nailed down. Working with The Element was super easy and I do not have enough good things to say about them!!
I HIGHLY recommend The Element as your wedding band!

I was recommended the Cleveland Music Group from a preferred vendor list from our venue (The 9), the Knot, as well as my Event Coordinator. You are able to choose which DJ you'd like by watching videos of them. I saw in a review that DJ Daniel Cormier just did a wedding at the same venue not long before, and I'm so glad I went with him! We got so many compliments on the music choices from all ages and you can check out his Facebook for videos of the packed dance floor! He was so friendly and even talked with some of our family and guests who loved him. We did a non-traditional wedding party entrance that he helped plan and even provided recommendations for. We also did a last dance just my husband and I and he offered to take a video of it and stayed an extra half hour after the reception for us to do that. Can't recommend him enough!

We and our guests all LOVED DJ Eric from Cleveland Music Group all night! He started the night playing music that got everybody on the dance floor, and then transitioned smoothly to make our wedding reception the party of our dreams. He was very responsive and easy to work with during the planning process and gave honest feedback to all of our ideas. He had the dance floor PACKED all night and helped the whole event run smoothly, from giving feedback to microphone usage during our ceremony al timeline feedback of the reception and even working with and communicating his recommendations to our other vendors. The big hit of the night was Eric's idea, he played "Higher" by Creed and timed it just right to where the chorus hit right at the stroke of midnight. Even days later we are getting compliments from our guests about how great DJ Eric was. We can not recommend him enough to anybody planning any event where you want a big party with the dance floor packed. Thank you Eric!!

We had a great experience working with The Avenue! We first heard them at my sister's wedding and we never wanted to leave the dance floor! They played a great mix of songs that appealed to all ages in attendance and kept the energy up all night. They were willing to slow down our first dance song and helped keep everything on schedule. Even a month after our wedding, we are still getting comments on how great the band was! Highly recommend working with them if you want your wedding to be a party!

We booked Dave Eubanks and he kept the party going the whole time. We pretty much had a crowded dance floor and even the people not dancing seemed to be enjoying the music. Multiple people told us that the music was fun. DJ also made sure to honor anything on our do not play list and refused to budge which we appreciated. We also got our uplighting through the company and they were honest and helpful about how many lights we would need and what color lighting would work in the space!

We hired The Bearded DJ (Eric Smith) through Cleveland Music Group. To be honest, he was the most expensive person we interviewed, and I wasn't sure how the cost difference would be seen in our event. After the interview, I was confident it was worth the expense, and now that our event is over, I would have paid it twice over. We had so few song requests, yet Eric still managed to capture an incredible playlist for us. I requested he work in a pop-punk song, he provided an entire chunk of them which had all of our guests having an amazing time. It was my favorite part of my night. He took extra time with us to make a special cut of our first dance song, which allowed us to have exactly what we wanted. All our guests told us what an amazing time they had, and we would absolutely hire Eric again ten times over.

Tyson put such time and care into talking with us before the wedding to understand our likes and dislikes, and also helped create our timeline for the reception. Once the big day came, he was so professional and read the vibe of the room so well. Our dance floor was completely packed from start to finish, and we got great feedback from our guests saying how good the music was and how Tyson was able to cater to many generations!!

We worked with Cleveland Music Group for our wedding on 9/28. It was such a good experience. Scott, the owner, was super communicative which always makes planning easy. We ended up signing a contract for DJ PJ Carmack of Cleveland Music Group and for the open air photo booth. Both were perfect. DJ PJ is an amazing DJ with perfect music taste. Our guests never left the dance floor all night and so many of our guests gave us compliments on how good he was. He came early to set up with high quality equipment and we never had that screeching problem that can happen when people are giving speeches. He was extremely respectful, never left the stand where he was playing music, and always provided energy throughout his set. The guy is such a pro. It's hard to believe that there’s anyone better out there.
The open air photo booth was also pretty sick. We got to choose a custom design for our prints which was pretty special and the amount of props / quality of props that the booth tech brought was insane. It felt like a pretty high quality experience to entertain our guests. We were pleasantly surprised as it took some convincing to get my wife onboard with this extra purchase. We would absolutely recommend this option to others too!

Excellent services! We used Cleveland music group for our DJ, photobooth, and audio guestbook. All three were fantastic! Certain guests had so much fun dancing, or taking pictures, or leaving funny voicemails that they didn't even have time to enjoy all three! However, the guests that did get to use them all had a blast! The staff for the photobooth and the DJ himself were beyond friendly and accommodating to not only the bride and groom but to each guest! They really helped boost the vibes of the celebration!

Tyson was clearly the right pick for us from the moment we interviewed him. An undeniable professional talking about his work. He was modest but still reassuring. His pre-event form was helpful, and he took the time to go over it with us clearly and thoroughly before our big day. He gave advice but gently, without pressuring us away from our instincts about what our people would respond to. Day of, he came technologically prepared. Setup was great. His work on the mic was sparse—but perfect. And his song selections were just spot-frigging-on. A dozen people at our wedding have asked us about him. We love Tyson. Thank you forever!!!

Stan was easy to communicate with and he took all our requests to incorporate different audio tracks into the night like polkas and Spanish sevillanas when the band would take their breaks. They performed so well that the songs they sang sounded like the originals! And Stan is a great MC too! Thank you for making the night so electric!

We had a blast at our wedding reception thanks to DJ DC! He was extremely professional and personable throughout the whole process and was in contact with us in plenty of time before the day to make sure all our wishes were heard and executed. He kept the dance floor packed, played all of our requests and catered to the entire crowd at the wedding. He did great at keeping to the reception timeline and did an awesome job at annoucements and pronunciations. He even catered to our special request of one last dance AFTER the reception was over which was really special to my husband and I. We couldn't recommend him enough and plan to keep in touch!! Cheers!

Oh my goodness, I could write for days about how absolutely amazing DJ DC was at our wedding. First of all, I was VERY picky about the music. My must play list was long and the do not play list was even longer. I had a lot of specifications of when to start and stop songs. So... DJ DC was stuck with a tough case. Other DJs likely wouldn't have accommodated our many requests. But man, did he deliver BEAUTIFULLY and make the night so fun! Not only was he extremely personable (on the phone and in person) but he is someone we genuinely want to keep in touch with. He made our dance floor beyond memorable, and absolutely nailed every part of the ceremony, too. I told him a million times, and I'll say it again, picking him as our DJ was the best decision we made for our wedding day (besides marrying each other!) :)

We had the absolute pleasure of having The Orchestra perform at our wedding this past weekend, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with their performance! From start to finish, they brought incredible energy and enthusiasm that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long.
Even when the weather decided to throw a curveball—complete with a storm and a bit of flooding—the band handled the situation with professionalism and grace. They took a brief break to move their instruments and then jumped right back into the fun, making sure the party never missed a beat.
A special mention must go to their fantastic MC, Dwayne. His engaging style and warm personality added a personal touch to the event that made it even more memorable. He also made sure that everyone's names were pronounced correctly, which we truly appreciated!
What truly stood out was the band's interaction with the crowd. They didn’t just play from the stage; they came out onto the dance floor with their instruments, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere that everyone loved.
If you’re looking for a band that knows how to keep a party going, can handle unexpected challenges with ease, and genuinely connects with the crowd, The Orchestra is the perfect choice. Thank you for making our wedding truly special!

Our guests and families were thrilled with the performances of Sonatra Strings, the jazz duo, and The A-Band. The string music elevated our ceremony, adding emotional elements with our favorite songs. The A-Band did a fantastic job cultivating positive, fun and energetic vibes for the entire evening. They kept us on our timeline and made presentations to the guests in a most professional way. We were also appreciative of their knowledge and performances of the Hora and Mezinka. Sound mixing, instrumentals, and vocals were all so good that they exceeded what we would have heard on original recordings. Adjustments for the unique space made it fun but not overwhelming. We especially enjoyed the bride and groom being able to join on stage with the band! It appeared that the band and horns loved interacting with the guests & children which was an added exciting feature. Our only wish is that they could have performed all night long. Scott and Erin at the CMG office and Dwayne from The A-Band were delightful to work with.

I spoke to more DJs than any other vendor when planning our reception, but when we talked to DJ JT from CLE Music Group, we knew we had our pick. He was so easy to work with and radiated a calm energy as we planned our event. We were very picky with what we wanted to play and when, and he made every last detail possible. Our biggest priority was that our guests would spend most of the night on the dance floor, and because of DJ JT, they did! So many people told us it was their favorite wedding dance floor they'd experienced -- and it was certainly ours. We would highly recommend working with DJ JT to anyone planning a wedding or a dance party!

For our wedding, we hired both a string quartet (Sonata Strings) and a DJ (Evan Foltz) through Cleveland Music Group. Both were amazing and very professional. Sonata strings brought my ceremony dreams to life, and DJ Evan Foltz kept the party going. I would definitely hire either of them again for another event. They are well worth it.

Overall I just have to say everyone I talked to at Cleveland Music Group were phenomenal- they were quick to respond and answered any questions I had during the planning process.
We first booked our DJ then later added on a photo booth.
DJ Edward G's energy was 100 from start to finish. He kept finding fun ways to get people on the dance floor- this included a dance off between the guys and girls, it was hilarious (in a good way)!!
We did an open air photobooth- the background, props, and prints were great, the attendant was also very nice! My only regret was not adding more time- guests loved it!

Jordan Kolaric did a great job as an emcee and DJ– he absolutely nailed the songs we requested, made sure the events of the day flowed flawlessly, and kept the party going on the dance floor all night long. Our guests had an amazing time (even the ones that occasionally moonlight as wedding DJs themselves), and so did we! Thank you for helping to make our day special, Jordan!

we used dj eric smith and could not say enough great things - DJ was amazing! The dance floor was popping the entire time. Everyone of all ages stayed the entire night. He does an amazing job of keeping the crowd going. He'll start with things to get everyone moving and then continue to cater more to the younger crowd as the night goes on. He had us send an inspiration playlist to him so that he knew a little more of our vibe and did an amazing job playing banger after banger flowing from one to the next. Overall - highly recomend

We cannot recommend Cleveland Music Group and Jimmy Rock enough!! Truly. CMG was great to work with and provided us with several strong choices for a DJ at our recent wedding. We hired Jimmy Rock and he exceeded every expectation we had! His talent and music totally made the party. He had people out on the dance floor the entire time, read the room, incorporated all of our requests and feedback. On top of being incredibly talented and professional, he is a truly lovely person too. You'll love having him as a part of your event and night.

The Element was the best part of our reception! We are so grateful we booked them for our January wedding. They helped us throw the party of a lifetime and I have never seen a more crowded dance floor. We were worried about the sound at our venue (The Old Courthouse) but The Element reassured us that it would be incredible, and it was! From toasts, to cocktail hour music, to every live song, the music was absolutely perfect! We are so thankful for their time, intentional choices in music, and prompt communication. We felt so calm from start to finish with Erin helping us each step of the way. If you want to have wonderful people play the best dance floor with music that all will enjoy book The Element!

BOOK THIS GROUP! We picked DJ PJ for our wedding and he absolutely killed it. He was so chill to work with throughout the planning process and then kept the party going all night on the wedding day. We ended up letting him choose a lot of the music once we got a feel for the crowd and he did not disappoint! Would definitely recommend DJ PJ!

Phenomenal, incredible, extraordinary, exceptional, outstanding…these are just a few words I would use to describe our experience with the Cleveland Music Group for our wedding. Scott Jones is simply AMAZING. If you are looking for top-notch talent…look no further. His professionalism in working with us and our vendors and the execution of events was flawless. Our special night was made even more special by his entertainment and music…from happy hour through dinner and dancing. Our guests are still raving about him, the music selections and the fun provided throughout the entire evening. Truly memorable, which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you, Scott and the entire Cleveland Music Group team!! We look forward to welcoming you back for future events!

Oh my gosh. Our New Years Eve wedding was the absolute greatest night of our lives and The Orchestra was one of the main reasons for that. They were INCREDIBLE. Dwayne is an amazing and accommodating (he allowed our friend to sing with them) emcee and band leader. Ricks voice and piano skills for our ceremony were next level, and he was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. They absolutely killed the NYE countdown and auld Lang syne after it. Many people throughout the night was asking where we found this incredible band and how this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to due to the band and vibe they brought. I cannot think you all enough.

Dan DC Cormier did an absolutely exceptional job in DJing and MCing our wedding. He set the tone as the hype man just prior to our wedding party entrance and he kept the crowd engaged, energized and having fun until the very last song ended. Words cannot express the positive impact that Dan’s work had on our big day. He truly went above and beyond to ensure that our multicultural wedding was enjoyed by all. Dan’s charismatic personality and personable demeanor won everyone over and he was a joy to work with. He executed the order of events timeline seamlessly and timely. His high level of professionalism in networking and coordinating with the Metropolitan at the 9’s wedding coordinator and other vendors was top notch. We would absolutely book Dan again and recommend him for any event and every crowd.

DJ Jordan Kolaric is amazing! He DJ-ed my wedding on 11/11 & was such a hit!! From the first time my fiancé & I spoke with him, he listened to our vision of songs that we wanted for our wedding reception, & let me tell you, he made it happen the night of the reception! All the guests had so much fun on the dance floor - & the songs he played KEPT the people on the floor, which of course was the goal!! Also, the uplights looked amazing! Thank you, Jordan! You’re awesome! We will totally work with you again for another occasion in the future! 5+ stars for sure!

We used Cleveland Music Group to book our wedding DJ, Jazz trio for cocktail hour, and photo booth. Service was wonderful! From the start there was great communication from our account manager. We booked DJ Evan Foltz as our DJ and were extremely happy with his service! He was a pleasure to work with and was organized and helpful as we made our music selections and planned for the day. He was a great communicator prior to the event and even worked with one of our groomsmen who had a special request for some music during his toast. He did a wonderful job at with the music for our ceremony, facilitating our reception, and most importantly keeping everyone on the dance floor! Evan did such an amazing job selecting dance floor music based on what we had told him we envisioned for the night. We got so many compliments from our guests on our DJ. Guests loved the music and were on the dance floor all night, which was important to my husband and I because we love to dance! We could not be happier with the service Evan provided on our special day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!

Cleveland Music Group performed at a wedding we were hosting at an outdoor venue (Lago Custom Events) last week on 10/6/2023. If you are from Cleveland, you know that the weather can go from sunny to snowy, and back to sunny again in just a few hours. An unexpected wind storm came in, blowing furniture and glassware off the bars. While the staff at the venue handled the unexpected weather disruptions, Cleveland Music Group & Difrent Vibez kept the party going while the weather attempted to bring chaos. There's NO WAY this wedding would have continued to run without a beat without these guys. They handled everything professionally, while keeping the party going. As an event coordinator I was extremely grateful to be working with vendors that could not only handle an extreme situation, but keep the guests happy without disruption. Thank you Difrent Vibez for continuing to do your job and go above and beyond to keep this wedding party party-ing! Job well done.

Ernie was an amazing DJ! I can’t say enough positive things about Ernie and his assistants. My guests can’t stop talking about how we had the best DJ of any wedding they’ve been to. The dance floor was constantly packed and everyone of all ages had a blast. He kept the energy so high and made everything so fun. We had a few issues on timing and some vendors running late (not him) he kept me and my now husband informed and got us back on schedule. We had quite a few hiccups early on but but Ernie seriously made all issues fade and we had a blast because of it. You’d be doing yourself a disservice by not hiring him. If I ever have any other event he’d be my first call.

DJ Eric (the Bearded DJ) was the perfect choice for our wedding! We got married at the Valley of the Eagles in Elyria in August 2023 and Eric provided music during both our ceremony and reception. Eric was so easy to work with from the start and was great at making sure that we got the experience we wanted. We were able to fill out a questionnaire a month or so before our date which let him know exactly which songs should be played during certain events throughout the day and then also shared with him our must-play songs and do not play songs.
During the wedding day, he was very organized and made sure that things stayed on track (as much as we could with our crazy group!) As we got into the reception he definitely kept the party going and our dance floor was 100% full for the entire night. He knew what songs to play when and even incorporated some EDM (mine and my husband's favorite genre) but in a way that was seamless and didn't isolate anyone in the group!
Would highly recommend DJ Eric and we're so happy with how everything turned out! Thank you thank you!

We had the BEST time interacting with Jordan pre- and post-wedding and he did such an incredible job throughout our wedding day as well. Many of our guests mentioned what a great DJ we had and how he really kept the party going. Our venue’s outdoor space was a very comfortable hang out for most of our guests but Jordan was able to keep people on the dance floor inside all night long. Not only was the party great but his check-ins on timing with Jerome and I were an absolute blessing. He’s an all around great guy to work with and we will certainly be recommending him to all friends/family in the future.

Our guests were blown away by The Perfect Choice Band! They were outstanding! All of the musicians were talented and energetic. Our wedding planner told us after the event that she had never had a reception with a dance floor that packed. We received numerous compliments about the band and many guests told us that they were the best wedding band ever. Eric with The Perfect Choice Band was super friendly and helpful. He MC'd our introductions and dances flawlessly. He was very engaged prior to our event and made himself available to join our planning meetings. The song list was full of fun tunes that our crowd loved. I was particularly impressed by the range of songs they were able to perform. The singers were incredible... we all know pulling off a Beyonce song isn't easy. I would choose the Perfect Choice Band over and over again. Booking the band via The Cleveland Music Group was super easy. Terms and pricing were very reasonable. 10/10 would recommend!

We loved having DJ Bill Bowen at our wedding! Leading up to the event, we talked through our vision and timeline for the day. On the day of the wedding, we barely had the time to talk with him once the wedding started. Even though we were so busy, he was able to take care of everything and DJ an amazing night. We added his services for the ceremony last minute and didn't have the time to show him the ceremony location or rehearse with him and he pulled everything off in such a professional way. All in all, DJ Bill Bowen did an excellent job and I would definitely hire him again for a big event!
