My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

By Request Mobile Dj Service

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!

Veteran-owned and at war with the outdated wedding DJ stigma. Our team is redefining what a wedding DJ should be. No clichés. No guesswork. Just a seamless, curated experience from “I do” to the encore song of the night.

We cannot say enough good things about Edd! He DJ’d our wedding this past September and absolutely crushed it from start to finish. He also DJ’d my sister’s wedding, so we already knew we were in great hands—and he still exceeded our expectations. Edd truly understands electronic-style music and can mix seamlessly, which kept the dance floor packed all night long. The energy never dipped, the transitions were flawless, and the vibe was exactly what we wanted. On top of his talent, he has an amazing personality—professional, fun, and so easy to work with. He knows how to read the room and keep the party going without missing a beat. He’s DJ’ing my best friend’s wedding this coming June. We’d recommend Edd to anyone who wants a packed dance floor and a DJ who has exceptional talent and skill! —Ashley & David Hudoba

Silver & Strings Trio was the perfect choice for our wedding music. Their communication throughout the planning process was clear, prompt, and professional. The quality of their work was truly polished and personalized as they played a wonderful mix of timeless classics and elegant standards that set the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, cocktails, and dinner. Having worked with Silver & Strings Trio 32 years ago at my own wedding, I knew they would provide the same exceptional service and musical performance that I experienced all those years ago--so I booked them for my daughter's upcoming wedding in January!

TKO Entertainment has been a leader in professional DJ service throughout Northeast Ohio for over 25 years. With all that experience under our belts, we know what it takes to pack a dance floor and keep your guests entertained all night!

We recently had TKO DJ our wedding and I could not recommend Ted and his team more!! The night was flawless and he brought a very specific vision we had to life. I felt like we may have been a couple with some of the weirdest and most specific requests, and the TKO team delivered on everything FLAWLESSLY. I also really appreciated Ted calling to go over order and ideas of how to make things go more smoothly, as well as emailing asking for pronunciations of family names. They also totally nailed it on the uplighting- something I wouldn’t have thought would make a big difference, but made the entire room and the vibe so much more intimate and incredible. Also his price was beyond fair, especially in a world of wedding planning where so many things feel astronomical. I am so happy we were able to have TKO at our wedding. I also am so grateful they know Windows on the River (our venue) so well, as it made everything run so seamlessly.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

I cannot even put in to words how thankful I am that we had Tyson as our DJ at our wedding!! Our day was absolutely perfect and a large part of that was due to Tyson’s organization, creativity and fun spirit. We have not stopped receiving messages asking who our DJ was and for his contact information because he was just THAT GOOD!!! The dance floor was so crowded and not a single guest left early because Tyson curated the most perfect party through music. He kindly listened to all of our silly requests for song choices and also was able to gauge the crowd for what music they enjoyed. There was not a single song played that the whole room wasn’t dancing to and I was afraid to leave the dance floor to get dessert or a drink for fear of missing out on whatever the next song was about to be. If you are even thinking about using Tyson to DJ your event, do not hesitate. It was the best decision we made!!

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!!
