DJ Evan Foltz killed it as our DJ! even though our wedding was small, the dance floor was packed! the cocktail hour and dinner music were exactly what we wanted and he really read the room for dancing, picking songs he knew would get the crowd moving. also thanks for playing WAP after every single bridesmaid requested it lol.

We had The Element for our wedding and they were beyond phenomenal. Erin, their lead singer, is a doll. She was so bubbly and kind, and really wanted to make sure that we picked the right band for our big day. We wanted everyone dancing and having a blast at our reception, and after watching them perform at Brothers Bar, it was clear they could make it happen.Erin and Tony do the lead vocals and they are both SO talented and versatile. They sent us a list of their songs and it was perfect for us. We met with Erin and she walked us through the timeline. She was so professional and organized. She acted at MC for the day as well. She recommended kicking off the night with Hava Nageela, which was something wed never seen before. They had nearly all of our 300 guests on the dance floor, and it stayed packed throughout the night.Erin and Tony do the lead vocals and they are both SO talented and versatile. They brought their own equipment and lighting, and even played cocktail hour music through Erins personal speaker for us.My husband and I wanted to do our first dance to a song that wasnt on the list and the band learned it for us.Overall, I couldnt be more enthusiastic about how wonderful The Element was. If you like to dance and enjoy Jazz, classic rock, Motown, pop and country BOOK THE ELEMENT!!!!

I cant say enough how wonderful DJ Dan Cormier was to work with! We were a little concerned about how to incorporate both of our cultures in the selection of music. Dan asked pointed questions about our vision, took careful notes about the kind of celebration we wanted, and executed everything just beautifully! Hes very accomplished at his job and his passion for weddings and celebrations shines through. He made sure everyone was dancing and had a wonderful time and catered to our varied crowd. 100% would work with him again!

DJ DC was awesome!! We had so much fun celebrating our wedding day with him! I loved seeing our closest friends and family out on the dance floor the entire night dancing along to their favorite songs. I would highly recommend DJ DC for your wedding!!

Last summer, we had the pleasure of attending a wedding with DJ Evan spinning the tunes and emceeing. He was enthusiastic and fun without being cheesy and the music was fantastic! When we needed a DJ for our sons reception this summer, we looked into CLE Music Group. Their website is impressive and its extremely helpful to be able to preview all the DJs to get a feel for their personalities and style. My son chose DJ DC and we were looking forward to the event. Unfortunately, due to the Covid pandemic, we were forced to cancel the reception. Upon contacting CLE Music Group, they refunded our deposit without any issue, which is more than I can say for other vendors. We are disappointed that we were not able to use CLE Music Groups services, but would not hesitate to recommend them to all of our friends and family in the future.

PJ did an outstanding job from the start. We met when we first hired him and again a few days before the wedding. We were a little picky and also requested songs from our invitees, so I’m sure we were a bit of a pain but PJ was extremely accommodating and assured us it was going to work out great, and it did. He rolled with any last minute decisions, corralled the wedding party for announcements, made all the right announcements, and most importantly he kept the dance floor full all night with the perfect playlist. I would highly recommend PJ to anyone. He also made an awesome video after the fact that consisted of pictures and videos throughout the night, including shots of our setup which he did before anyone even got there. Above and beyond.

As a wedding photographer I am usually apprehensive about the reception portion of the evening because I LOVE TO DANCE while documenting the celebrating. From the first time I experienced Eric Smiths DJ-ing skills not only was I tearing up the dance-floor along with a massive crowd but I immediately recommended him to all of my clients. The service, professionalism and friendly interactions absolutely made working together a seamless process. 10/10 recommend to any couples on the hunt for some amazing entertainment!

The Orchestra played at my sons wedding in Youngstown, they were incredible - eclectic, professional, handled the crowd and made the evening memorable for all. Easy to work with and client centered. I never danced as much, they set the bar high!

Match City was the band at a wedding that I coordinated, and oh my goodness! They were beyond amazing! As a coordinator, I get nervous with bands the whole time, and keeping the crowd energetic and the dance floor packed, but these guys blew me away! There wasnt a moment when the dance floor wasnt packed and man do they know how to hype a crowd! I cannot wait to recommend them to more of my clients!!

We hired DJ Gaz for our wedding through Cleveland Music Group. He was fantastic! Cleveland Music Group has a short video about each of their DJs. This is how we found DJ Gaz. We really liked how his voice sounded, when listening to the video. He has a voice made for radio, and we wanted to be announced in that voice at our reception.DJ Gaz was all about making our event what we wanted. He made it abundantly clear that he didnt care if we had traditional wedding elements or not. He had a questionnaire that we filled out leading up to the wedding for which songs we wanted for everything. He thought of situations we would need songs for that we hadnt even thought of! One of the things that really made me want to hire him is that his questionnaire didnt assume I wanted to be addressed as Mrs.. As someone who prefers to be addressed as Ms., this openness and lack of assumptions was very important to me.Our wedding day, DJ Gaz played wonderful music. Many of our guests thought our wedding was larger than it was, because of all the people on the dance floor! He played a great selection of music, and he did exactly what he said he would! We highly recommend DJ Gaz with Cleveland Music Group!

Simply amazing. The Element Band played Saturday night at our daughters wedding and things could not have been better. Erin led the evening - through all the intros, the father/daughter dance, the bride/groom dance, the toasts, etc. - great leader and MC!! The music during dinner was at the perfect volume and the song list was stunning. Then....the faster sets opened and you couldnt find room on the dance floor - nobody was left in their seats. By the middle of the reception - as the father-of-the-bride - I couldnt make it from one table to the other without someone grabbing me and asking me where did you guys get this band. All added this is the best band I have ever heard. And...it was all true. They were the best. As a family we have hired many bands for various events we have hosted over the years - and often they were some of the biggest bands in the Cleveland area. Nothing compared to the impact these guys had. I cant be happier that it was at my daughters wedding. We had 100 people over to our house the next day for a brunch and everyone kept telling us it was the best reception / best band they have ever heard. And...I have to add....working with Erin ahead of time was a breeze and a lot of fun. Picking out songs we wanted, working through the details. I am writing this as my daughter enjoys her honeymoon in Ireland - and I know she will write when she gets back. My daughter sings with the Cleveland Pops Chorus and is a trained singer / music teacher. The band allowed her to do a surprise solo for her new husband and it blew everyone away. I could keep writing - but I wont take up any more space. Simply recommending this band is almost too little, I would recommend them at the highest possible level to anyone looking to have a phenomenal time and great interaction with something that is really important to the success of a reception. Erin, Tony, team - we cant thank you enough. Were going to do something together again soon - I guarantee it.

Very disappointed with our ceremony music. We paid extra for them to learn 3 songs but they forgot to play our exit song. My husband and I had to walk down the aisle at the end of our ceremony to no music. It was very awkward and we will always remember that. We are beyond upset. They also never played a song during our Unity Tree Ceremony. A bunch of our guests also said they were hard to hear. They havent tried to remedy the situation. We are very unhappy with their services and now this is captured in our ceremony videos so we will always remember this issue.

The number one thing that can make or break a wedding is the deejay. When it came to entertainment, there are only two companies in NE Ohio that I recommend, so we started with CMG. The entire staff at CMG is amazing- Scott Jones is the best in the biz and each professional that works for him reflects the same values and professionalism. Office staff is friendly and helpful.We planned our wedding in under 8 months, so the deejays I was familiar with were booked already. We chose our deejay off recommendation and his video- DJ Dan Cormier. We love Dan! He set up a meeting to chat about our details form and go over some of our questions. We were one of those couples who annoyingly created their own play list, but he was so awesome about it. He had a lot of ideas on how to incorporate some of our choices into the day and made sure he helped create exactly the wedding we wanted. He asked me to leave a voice mail 2 weeks prior with the pronunciation of our wedding party names which I thought was awesome.Heres an example of why this was a perfect choice for us:Dan knew that we wanted a packed dance floor all night. We also wanted to do a sparkler send off, but was afraid we’d lose guests too early, so we decided to invite just the wedding party and parents for the send off. Hubby and I were waiting in the hallway to go outside and I hear the Macarena playing inside. Immediately I went ‘What the hell? For SURE the Macarena wasn’t on our music list!’. It only took a second for me to realize what he was doing- DJ DC knows that the Macarena (or any other line dance) will keep people on the dance floor PLUS he avoided playing one of ‘our’ songs because he knew we’d miss it. Obviously, this is quick thinking and why you get what you pay for- a true professional!Our dance floor was packed until they kicked us out. SO much that the dance floor was actually bouncing. DJ Dan kept our party rockin and accommodated any changes we threw at him. Somehow, he managed to squeeze in most of the songs from our playlist. It was the perfect night and we couldn’t thank Dan enough for providing us with great entertainment.That being said- I know we picked out entire playlist. But there is a HUGE difference between ‘just pay for Spotify and let it play on a laptop’ and an experienced deejay emceeing your evening. Trust your wedding to someone who knows what they’re doing.

My wife and I thought the performance was OKAY. Myself being a musician (pianist for 15+ years, bassist for 10+ years, and drummer for 10+ years) I heard several missed notes in some of the songs. This was also noticed by our guests.A issue arose when the harpist arrived. She needed assistance to lift the harp into the church pulpit. It seemed that the harpist would have her own helper to help put the instrument into a pulpit (which was about 5 stairs up off ground level). While lifting the harp into the pulpit she stated to one of the groomsmen and the father of the bride, this harp costs more than your car! So be carful. The groomsman and father of the bride took offense to this. I took offense to this (me being the groom). This type of attitude was not professional.After the ceremony the harpist needed help to bring the instrument down from the pulpit. So more of the groomsmen had to help her again.We thought their performance was okay. Not as professional and crisp as was expected.

Working with Cleveland (CLE) Music Group was a great experience. I worked with Ms. Erin Rossi to go over DJs, bands, and music styles. She was so fun to work with and was never pressuring with sales. We were able to watch interviews and actual work done by the DJs before we picked which DJ we wanted. This was something that other companies did not offer, that CLE had the edge on.Our DJ was Chris Wallace, and he executed our wedding evening perfectly. I would highly recommend him for your wedding as he is a roll with the punches type of individual. Chris was laid back, professional, and knew exactly what he was doing. We had full confidence that once he took over from dinner, that the evening would be perfect, and so it was. Chris ensured that all music flowed with not only our style, but with our guests as well. We could not get our guests off of the dance floor. Obviously a great thing.We are so pleased and grateful that we chose this company for the most important day of our lives. They will not disappoint.
