Cleveland Music Group

Entertainment was fabulous. Strongly recommend Collective Soul for all music categories.

CLE Music Group has provided music for many occasions for both me and my family.
I most recently got married and immediately knew from my initial scattered vision I created that I had to have Brandon from CLE Music Group provide the music for our evening. As our wedding played out; Brandon exquisitely executed a stunning landscape of music that dazzled the room and our guests. I could not be any happier that Brandon and CLE Music Group has been a part of many our special days with this being one of the greatest! Know that you could not be in better hands with this winning combination!
Thanks CLE Music Group for always being music to our ears!

We had an amazing experience with CLE Music Group! The entire process was professional, organized, and incredibly easy from start to finish. We loved having so many different music options to choose from, and CLE Music Group made coordinating everything seamless.

Both our string duo and DJ were fantastic and delivered exactly what we wanted. The ceremony music was beautiful, and the DJ kept the dance floor packed all night long. Our wedding was a huge hit, and we've received so many compliments on the music. We highly recommend CLE Music Group to anyone looking for a stress-free experience and amazing entertainment!

Our wedding was right before Christmas at the Union Club and everyone absolutely LOVED DJ Eric Smith - The Bearded DJ!!! From start to finish he was a DJ who was professional, knowledgeable, and interacted very well with our guests. We have received so many compliments on what an outstanding DJ he is and our guests indicated he provided a fun, energetic atmosphere by playing incredible music for all ages. There was a great flow to the night. Eric played our top songs, listened to what we wanted for the reception which included incorporating Christmas songs, and played our friends' song requests - no matter how unique lol! For example, he played a special Italian song my high school friends sang at Christmas and coordinated my friends surprising me by coming onto the dance floor with poms to the Cheerleader song. These small gestures create a memorable experience not only for the bride and groom, but for everyone at our wedding. He was engaged with the crowd and often checked in with us. Many guests commented on how awesome it was that he kept asking me (bride) how I was doing while on the dance floor.

If you are looking to hire someone who provides top tier DJing, I highly recommend DJ Eric. 10/10 Having hired many DJs for high school homecoming dances over the last 10 years from local companies and even DJ EV, I can assure you DJ Eric Smith is one of the best. He is good at his craft and provides a memorable wedding experience for you and your guests - no matter the age. My parents and older family members loved him and had a blast! My 13 year old niece said he was “vibing”. He was one of the first vendors I hired in the wedding planning process and this allowed me to feel confident our guests would have a good time.

We worked with Eric “The Bearded DJ” leading up to our wedding. He was very prompt and detailed in his responses and provided honest opinions that were helpful in planning! We are so happy with how the music turned out. If you like remixes and a great flow to the music that gets everyone out on the dance floor, Eric is your guy. He was taking requests from guests but still kept true to our style and preferences. You could tell he was working hard all night, sweating bullets and deeply engaged in his work. His passion and knowledge of music is what truly brought the dance floor together. We also used the Cleveland Music Group for uplighting around the ballroom, and they brought their own lights to put on the stage and make the DJ’s set up stand out! We had the best night of our lives and woke up with extremely sore calves from dancing all night!

DJ JT was our DJ for our wedding a couple weeks ago and he was PERFECT! We met via Zoom a couple times before to talk about our vision for the music and the dance floor and he definitely delivered. I felt very confident in him after our final meeting and throughout the whole wedding day. He played music before/ during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He played all our favorite songs and the dance floor was packed the whole time, which was exactly what we wanted. My husband and I both listen to a variety of types of music and he was able to seamlessly incorporate all types to get everyone dancing. He also made all the necessary announcements to keep the day running smoothly. My husband and I have been to a lot of weddings and he is by far the best DJ we have seen. I cannot brag about him enough. Thank you DJ JT for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

I was a bride who didn’t get too caught up in the details or the planning process, but my main goal for our wedding reception was for everyone to have a great time—and DJ Ernie absolutely made that happen!

I knew I liked his style from his bio, but meeting him in person sealed the deal. He’s incredibly easy to talk to and such a joy to work with. I genuinely had no idea how the night was going to unfold, but he led the entire reception seamlessly from beginning to end.

I honestly thought our guests might head out early—but I was so wrong. The dance floor was packed all night, right up until the very end! Since the wedding, I’ve heard nothing but amazing feedback from our guests about how much fun they had, and so much of that is thanks to DJ Ernie.

My advice to future couples: trust him. Let him read the crowd and go with the flow—he knows what he’s doing! Aside from our first dance and a couple of key songs, I gave him total freedom, and it was the best decision. Choosing the right DJ is everything when it comes to creating an unforgettable reception—and DJ Ernie is absolutely the right choice. You won’t regret it!

The Orchestra with CMG was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! From the dinner set to our first dances to the dancing set, we were blown away. People kept coming up to us throughout the night wanting to know who the band was and how to hire them!

The band song list has all the classic wedding songs. I remember being on the dance floor, tired, wanting to get another drink, and thinking to myself “I hope the next song isn’t a banger so I can take a break.” Low and behold every song was a banger and I just had to keep on dancing! The dance floor was packed all night and some of the horn section even came down to the dance floor for a Congo line!

We had a choreographed first dance and I requested that the band be as close to the recording as possible and shorten the song. They did a wonderful job, and our first dance was seamless even though we had never heard the band play the song before. The band worked so well together, and you could tell they are very experienced at playing together!

If you are looking for a band, The Orchestra is the best decision you could make!

Chris was absolutely amazing. He had our guests dancing all night long. He was very professional and was exactly what we were looking for!!! Chris is definitely a must at any event.

The Cleveland Music Group was fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their communication was quick, easy, and productive. They were responsive and helpful in nailing down the dance floor details for our big day. On the wedding day itself, DJ Eric Smith provided a truly excellent experience - he kept the dance floor packed the entire night by playing all the right songs based on our music preferences and respected our wishes to keep emceeing to a minimum. We would highly recommend the Cleveland Music Group to any couple looking for an amazing and experienced DJ for their wedding. They played a huge part in making our special day perfect!
