Awesome DJ and so easy to work with

We didn't give DJ Rod a ton of guidance on what to play, just a handful of songs we wanted and songs we did not want, but he did an incredible job of catering the music to our crowd and keeping the dance floor lively! It was one "that's my song!" after another. He perfectly read the crowd and played music that kept everyone on their feet—people of all ages—having the time of their lives!

We loved having Rod as our DJ! We had some special requests and he never failed to make them happen. Our dance floor was full the entire night too. Thank you Rod.

Our best and easiest vendor for our reception

So wedding planning can be a hassle. But DJ Rod made it so easy for us. We gave him a playlist of our fav songs and he totally made it work. We had so much fun. Would highly recommend!

5 stars should be 50 stars!

We worked with Rod for our wedding in Akron, and could not recommend him more! He was extremely kind, professional, and best of all easy to work with. He truly understood our goals and vision for our wedding day music. So many guests complimented us on our DJ and music (all of favorites of course). We are incredibly glad we got to work with Rod and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Perfect DJ!

We booked Rod for our March wedding, which was the PERFECT choice. He did such an amazing job and we got so many compliments from our guests. He did such great job with all the music and getting everyone out on the dance floor. Everyone had so much fun! The dance floor was busy the whole time!

Rod was so much fun to work with and very affordable. We wanted to get pictures with everyone, so we did a photo bomb where my husband and I sat on the dance floor and people ran up to take photos during a song. Rod did such a great job of getting people out there and the photos turned out great. It's one of our favorite memories from the wedding! Everything went perfectly, and Rod was a huge part of making that happen.

If you're looking for a DJ, hire Rod!

Fun, responsive & professional

Rod made the planning process so easy. He set the tone for our whole wedding night right from the start. We did not have to worry one bit about the entertainment because he took care of everything. He kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Rod listened to our wants and executed them perfectly. We have received so many compliments about our DJ. We are truly grateful for Rod’s services and have some incredible memories of our reception because of him.

Our NYE wedding in one word? LIT

We hired DJ Rod from Buckeye Sounds for our wedding - he was amazing. We were very particular about our DJ selection because we wanted to set the tone for the party. DJ Rod was extremely professional and honestly cared for our wedding day. He was a pleasure to work with. We gave him a Spotify list of songs to work from and the vibe and he created the best playlist we could've asked for! DJ Rod even supplied big TVs so that we could watch the ball drop in Times Square. And our guests could send pictures to the screens too!

Even the booking and planning was easy. We got a online quote and there was ZERO pressure to book or to add extra stuff. All the planning was online too.

If you want a great time for your reception, just contact DJ Rod.

The best 2010's music wedding reception!

DJ Rod is hands down the best wedding DJ you will ever find! We wanted a lot of great songs from the 2010s. He played banger after banger and we didn’t want to leave the dance floor! We received so many comments from our guests that they've never danced so much at a wedding before.

a big downtown wedding

We had a large reception with people who really like to dance and party! We told Rod that we needed to have a big celebration and he really did everything we asked of him and more. IMHO the reception's success is based on the dancing - and our reception was just what we had hoped for.

Good beyond belief

DJ Rod was SO good. He had people on the dance floor that I didn't think would EVER be there. All of our favorite songs were played just as we wanted.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
