J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,575
  • Serves Dover, OH

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.

As the owner, I'm involved in each and every wedding. This is how I make a living and put food on the table so there's nothing more important to me than you having the best possible experience.

I can't recommend John and his crew enough. We purchased dj services and the photo booth. The photo booth included an album of all the pictures taken at the booth along with props. The DJ was outstanding. We also had edited songs and he was able to play them with no issue.

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!

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.

His planning portal made the entire process seamless. We were able to track every detail, input our song choices, and even receive helpful song suggestions for each part of the day. It made us feel confident that everything was thoughtfully planned and nothing would be overlooked. On the wedding day, Jason truly exceeded our expectations. The transitions from one song to the next were flawless, and the flow of the night felt natural. He did an amazing job reading the crowd and adjusting the energy in real time. The dance floor was packed all night long! Right before we officially opened the dance floor, we did a big group photo with all of our guests. Jason timed everything perfectly and chose the perfect first song to kick off the party, which kept everyone out on the dance floor instead of heading back to their seats. It set the tone for the rest of the night. From ages 6 to 84, everyone was out there dancing the night away. Seeing every generation having that much fun together was so special. Several guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and we truly believe Jason played a huge role in that. People are still talking about how much fun they had. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, organized, and knows exactly how to keep the party going, we cannot recommend Jason enough. He helped create such an unforgettable atmosphere, and we’re so grateful he was part of our day!
