  Made the reception a success!

  DJ Ivan and Imani were instrumental in making sure our reception went smoothly. They helped us cut down on dead time in between events when I overscheduled buffer time. Lots of people got up and enjoyed the music, even people I didn't expect to dance! Everything worked for the speeches and he was able to roll with all the little changes we had to make the day of.

  I am SO happy that we decided to go with Synapse Entertainment for our wedding needs! DJ Ivan was one of the most professional vendors I worked with and he took all of our requests into account. I've been receiving non-stop compliments about our choice of DJ and our wedding night would not have been as amazing with Synapse Entertainment on the team!

  Can't say enough good things about this DJ!

  Our DJ made our wedding a success! I can't say enough good things about him. He was very quick to respond to any email or text I sent, he was professional and organized, he set up a call before the event to go over music choices and make sure everything was in order. I'm not the best person with music so he gave many amazing suggestions and put together a perfect playlist based on the type of music I told him we would like. The day of the wedding he was amazing at gather my guests into the right spots and making sure everyone was where they needed to be. He made the night flow smoothly and announced everything at the perfect time, which was so helpful because there is so much going on the day of the wedding I would not be able to keep myself on track! The music was amazing, every song transitioned perfectly and I have never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding, the guests danced and sang along to every song! I would highly recommend using him for any event!

  Best in cle

  I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for being an amazing DJ. You truly went above and beyond for Ken and I to make our wedding day special. We are grateful beyond words for your kindness, professionalism, and class.
  My husband and I had made a Spotify list since we knew what songs we liked and had been to other weddings in the past. Ken and I wanted to find a DJ that would LISTEN and we found him!!!! Hiring DJ Ivan was the best decision we made (besides marrying each other). DJ Ivan and Imani were extremely professional, kind, and classy. They asked each bridesmaid and groomsman how to pronounce their names and he was very detailed oriented. He made our wedding day his own and only offered the best service. I would ONLY recommend DJ Ivan to family and friends. If you don’t want to worry about your DJ and want him to listen to you, hire DJ Ivan. You will not be disappointed. In a world where people do not go above and beyond…DJ Ivan fights that stigma and gave us so much more. Thank you DJ Ivan and we will be sending everyone to you!

  Best DJ in Cleveland!!

  Hiring DJ Ivan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! He is a true professional, so eloquent and bright, and an outstanding DJ. We were so impressed with his initial presentation upon our first meeting and knew we wanted to hire him right away. He was always thorough and prompt and puts you at ease with his approach to preparing you for your impending wedding. He will give your wedding a truly elevated feel because he is so articulate and skilled. Our guests kept commenting on how impressed they were by his mixing skills and we all enjoyed dancing the night away to his music! He knows how to read a crowd and sense what the dance floor is looking for. You can feel his passion for music; he is a true expert. Cleveland is so lucky to have DJ Ivan!!

  Incredible!

  Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. Ivan was attentive to our needs and wants and curated the experience to fit exactly what we wanted for our wedding. He was easy to contact and scheduled 3 calls with us over Zoom before the wedding so that he could understand the vibe we were going for. Down to exactly where we wanted songs cut for dances, Ivan followed up with EVERYTHING to the letter. He is an incredibly kind person, and his DJ skills are top notch - he mixed some of our requested songs together and our guests loved it, multiple 20-somethings who attend tons of weddings each year told us this was the best wedding DJ they had ever experienced. Book Ivan, you wont regret it!!

  Our best wedding decision

  Our wedding was two weeks ago and we are still talking about how wonderful DJ Ivan made our event. Not to be dramatic, but we are his #1 fans. He was the best vendor decision we made for our entire wedding. From the beginning, he was kind, understanding, and listened intently to what we wanted, which was probably not your standard wedding playlist. We were out of state from our venue and he accommodated us and got to know us over Zoom, responded to all inquires very quickly, gave us a very user-friendly app to better understand our music tastes and wedding preferences, and when we got into town he was kind enough to take us out to lunch and get to know us better. He is calm and collected but also has the meticulous nature to ensure that he pronounced every bridesmaid’s name just right and was sensitive to complicated family dynamics during announcements. He was truly the driver of our reception timeline and made sure that everything happened smoothly; thankfully the logistics went off without a hitch with his hard work and it was lovely to have one less thing to worry about during our wedding day. We did not have much money to spend on our wedding, and we DIYed a lot of it. Initially, I naively wondered whether it was necessary to even hire a DJ; I love music and can make my own playlists. I was very wrong, and I’m glad I met with him to learn about everything he does - he runs the logistics, delivers the many announcements that are central to a wedding, ensures that the (often clueless) wedding party knows what they need to do, etc etc. Truly not sure what we would have done without him. The music, most importantly, was perfect. He honored our weird requests, which extended from oldies to Crazy Frog to Lincoln Park, and mixed them in a super fun way. People were on the dance floor literally all night, and that’s exactly what I wanted. He knows how to read a crowd and artfully serve their needs. He is a talented DJ who is responsible, dedicated, and has truly mastered his craft. Though I am based in another state now, I would enthusiastically recommend him to any of my friends who are still in Northeast Ohio. We would make the same DJ choice over and over again. Thank you, DJ Ivan!

  Can't recommend highly enough

  I can't recommend Ivan and Synapse Entertainment enough. Ivan read the room perfectly, knew what songs to cut short and what to play out, and was the perfect blend of mixing and cutting and just playing the hits. We got compliments all night about how good the DJ was and how packed the dance floor was. These guys will make your wedding better.

  Incredible and easy to work with!

  Ivan was the easiest person to work with and made our day incredible! We had to make a last minute call based on weather at noon when our ceremony was at 4 and he was incredible! Highly highly recommend!

  More Than Just a Vendor!!

  Ivan was the best, truly. Beyond being an expert at reading a room, transitioning music, and having fun the entire night, he was so eager to really get to know us and to stay in communication the entire year leading to our wedding after we booked him. He was the kindest, most professional vendor we hired. He was attentive to our needs, worked well with our special needs family members, and was willing to answer my questions about anything even if it didnt directly involve the music. Even down to the week of, my mom threw in a suprise money Dance, my sister wrote a speech but wasnt on the schedule, and he had no problem rolling with the punches. And on the day we couldn't have asked for someone sweeter and more on top of things. You can tell he is experienced and amazing at what he does. He found and talked to whoever he needed to in order to keep things flowing and everyone on the same page. He never made us feel rushed and made our whole day so much fun and stress free. He is 100% more than worth every penny. I can't recommend him enough.

  Dj ivan rocks!

  DJ Ivan was awesome from start to finish. We didn't have to worry about a thing with him, which really relieved us and allowed us to cross one thing off the very long list of preparations early on. Our venue was the National Aquarium - an unusual layout for good audio setup - but he contacted the venue and figured it all out without adding any stress on us. He's very professional and an EXCELLENT communicator - which, as it turns out - not all vendors are. We had one casual in-person meeting where we discussed our tastes in music, which songs we absolutely wanted and which songs we absolutely didn't want to hear. He was very knowledgable and shared valuable advice from his several years of experience. My husband and I are both metal-heads, I also really enjoy trip hop and my family is from the Caribbean so they love them some Soca. Somehow DJ Ivan was able to accommodate all of it seamlessly, adding in some more well-known music here and there so that everyone had something to enjoy. DJ Ivan really set the tone for a truly magical and ethereal night.

  FANTASTIC DJ. So great to work with.

  We could not be happier with our choice to have Ivan as our DJ. He was cordial, organized, friendly, and fun. His music taste is fantastic and was perfectly suited to our recommendations for the reception (and we are both extremely picky)! Our guests packed out the dance floor, which was largely thanks to Ivan. Thanks, Ivan! You did an amazing job.

  Fantastic DJ that understands flow and tempo.

  DJ Ivan was fantastic! Not a single person was in their chair the entire evening (and we had 180 guests!). We had a last minute request for additional AV equipment which we ended up not using, but he stepped up to the plate to make sure our needs could be accommodated.
  
  He understands the flow of crowds and how to keep things moving throughout the night. Additionally, he will work with you -- and only you-- to make sure your favorite music doesn't get overtaken by guests with requests. He really made our evening into something special by playing a diverse set of fan favorites and by meeting personal preferences! 10 out of 10 would hire again (plus the price is RIGHT!)!

  Great Wedding DJ

  DJ Ivan made our wedding day run flawlessly. His management of ceremony audio and reception music were perfect. DJ Ivan also served as a great MC. He is the definition of a true professional. From the planning process through execution, he was punctual, professional, communicative and polite. He made the music and audio portion of our wedding easy and worry free for us

  If I could give more than 5 stars to DJ Ivan, I would. He was an incredible DJ. He had great suggestions for ceremony music and accepted versions of songs that we cut ourselves. For the reception, the dance floor was packed the entire night. There weren't more than 15-20 people of our 140 person wedding that were sitting down and not dancing. We gave DJ Ivan a lot of freedom in his choice of songs, so he ended up playing more classic, older songs that everyone loved (mostly early-mid 20 friends and older family).

  Best DJ experience ever!!

  My husband is in A/V and was super picky about sound quality, lighting, and everything in between. DJ Ivan listened to our needs, had patience, and really made sure our event went off without any hiccups. It was perfect - he got the crowd going, listened to us in the styles of music we enjoyed, and made it all inclusive for all of our guests. Everybody was telling us how wonderful the music was! It was impossible to not have a good time. Thank you so much!!!

  First off, we were very specific about what we wanted when it came to DJ services. One can tour a venue, taste a caterer's food, and see a photographer's photos. It is, however, difficult to know exactly what you're getting when it comes to a DJ. We interviewed several DJs looking to find the right balance between just playing the music we want and moving the party along. Ivan knew exactly what we were after and delivered.
  
  Ivan followed through on our pre-selected do/do-not-play list, all the while simultaneously not derailing the dance floor, he filled in the rest smoothly and professionally. He worked with us very closely to understand exactly what our needs and our tastes were. He honored our request to keep the emcee role of speaking to a minimum during the night – and when he made announcements it was done in a low key manner, just as we requested. He did an excellent job coordinating with our on-site day-of coordinator at Bluemont Vineyard, and we would absolutely choose him again for our wedding and absolutely recommend him as DJ for your wedding!

  Wonderful DJ

  Wonderful DJ! Many guests commented on the excellent music selection. He always found the right tone. Celebratory but never cheesy. People had so much fun dancing away the evening. Also very responsive and great to work with. So happy we had him at our wedding!!

  Ivan did a great job working with a drummer who drummed while Ivan spinned. He was professional, followed our musical guidelines but also what brought people on the dancefloor, and incorporated bollywood music (even though he wasn't familiar with it prior to our wedding). He did what a DJ should do; facilitated the night without becoming the center of attention himself.

  I loved meeting you, David and your families/friends. Thanks for helping me increase my Bollywood music collection:-) It was cool spinning music with a live drummer playing along.
