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

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.

We specialize in weddings, creating the soundtrack to your special day. I stead of performing a cookie cutter playlist at every event, we work directly with you to find out your tastes and interest to make sure your entertainment is a relection of YOU!

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jenny and her team and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From our first meeting, Jenny was so easy to work with, incredibly creative, offering fantastic ideas that truly elevated our wedding. We had classic violin for the ceremony, transitioning to electric violin for the cocktail hour, and DJ fusion (electric violin Dj) for the reception. Being an American-Brazilian couple, it was important for us to include Brazilian music.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire.

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!!
