Roke Star Entertainment was amazing for our wedding! Liza was a great communicator through calls, always keeping us informed and making sure we were on track. Liza’s work was top-notch, she kept people on the dance floor all night with her music selection and willingness to take requests. She helped us plan and stick to the timeline, provided great lighting and a custom monogram light, and she even captured drone video footage to remember the day. Liza, was so kind and attentive.

J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,875
  • Serves Kent, OH

We’ve all witnessed this: A wedding DJ who thought they were the main event – the endless mic chatter, the forced games, the tacky props, and the "impromptu" dance lessons that kill the momentum of a perfectly good night. It’s tacky, it’s insulting to your guests and – quite frankly – I’m over it!   Which is why I built a brand that does the exact opposite with a different set of rules. A boutique, "Non-Cheesy, Non-Obnoxious" experience where the vibe is comfortable, inclusive, organic FUN and where the soundtrack doesn't suck. Because it reflects you! Just like your reception should.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

The ceremony music was perfectly timed and set the tone beautifully. Once the reception got underway, Seth did an amazing job reading the room and playing songs that kept the dance floor packed all night long.

From the very beginning, working with this strings trio was an absolute joy. They played beautiful Christian music for our ceremony, and it was clear how much care and intention went into every piece and this truly meant so much to us. The music was emotional, elegant, and perfectly set the tone for our wedding. So many guests commented on how moving and special it was.

We've been rocking weddings for fun since 2001, as a full-blown, state-registered business since 2012. Providing the best value in entertainment you will find. You'll find CHEAPER, but you won't get more bang for your buck anywhere else. We have an experienced staff that I've hand-picked and personally trained, I supply all the equipment to ensure consistency and upkeep, and we have back up DJs and equipment in case of emergencies. 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.

We got married at a venue that had pretty strict direction when it came to music. We had sound ordinances, couldn’t play curse words, etc. so we wanted a DJ that was familiar with our venue so there would be no hiccups. Which is how we found By Request! I communicated with Ryan through the process. He was easy to communicate with and clear about everything. The week before the wedding we had a group call with Chris - who was the actual DJ on our wedding day and the call made me feel so at ease. They were extremely flexible and did our music for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. All of it was perfect and we danced all night long!

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.

One of the best DJ'S EVER! We used HiMotive Entertainment for our wedding and when I tell you that these people are professional, I mean it.

I'm talking people getting picked up on shoulders phenomenal. I still have family members messaging me a week back telling me how much they loved the DJ and MC.

We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny! Highly recommend “Like a Prayer” by Madonna to get all generations singing along!! Photo Credit to our epic photographer, Victoria of An Endless Pursuit
