J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,701
  • Serves Peninsula, 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.”

  • Serves Peninsula, OH

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.

“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!”

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.”

“Brooks was the DJ for my sister's wedding so I already knew of his work when it came time for my wife and I to get married. During consultation, he gave me confidence that he knew exactly how to provide us with a great experience from the type of equipment to bring, what type of music he would play, and how he conducted the reception. He gave us a questionnaire to fill out as well as a web portal to add all of our preferred and must play songs to. Including all of the first dance and introduction songs. For the reception he brought an awesome stage with a custom light up screen with our names on it. He really knows how to transition between different songs to create a fun flow to the night. A great mix of high energy songs and slow dancing songs. He even brought glow sticks for us to dance with as a throw in. Brandon Brooks helped make our night one that we will remember forever. We recommend Brooks Music to anyone needing a DJ for any event. He is a real pro.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!”

The band worked with us to structure our timeline so they'd have maximum playing time, and they nailed the song selection to keep everyone dancing all night long. What really set them apart was their willingness to let our friends jump in and play instruments with them, plus they picked up on songs we'd mentioned in toasts and wove them into their set.

At SoundProof Entertainment, we believe your wedding should feel like you—from the first song as guests arrive to the last chorus everyone sings together. Our style blends classy, polished celebrations, and bangin' dancefloors. I’m Ted, owner and DJ, and after more than 30 years behind the music, my favorite part is still that moment when the right song brings a room together. Watching different generations share a dance floor, hearing a couple’s friends erupt at their favorite song, or seeing the newlyweds forget everything except having fun—that’s why I love this work. Your people. Your music. Your kind of celebration.

“SoundProof Entertainment made planning our wedding music stress-free from start to finish. Their team was straightforward about what we actually needed and steered us away from upgrades we didn't have to buy, while explaining why the ceremony add-on would make a real difference for us. On the day of our wedding, the DJ kept the energy perfect all night long and guests couldn't stop talking about how cool he was. The sound quality and professionalism were outstanding, and we felt like we got real value for what we paid. If you're looking for a band or DJ that knows their stuff and won't oversell you, SoundProof Entertainment is the way to go.”
