By Request Mobile Dj Service 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Akron, OH
  • DJ
  • Starts at $990

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. :)
