Eric Smith: The Bearded DJ

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: Baucco-Tighe Wedding 6-21-25

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!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding reception.

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 CMG: Best Wedding Band in Cleveland

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!

Excellent DJ (Eric Smith) and Wedding Experience

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!

Sounded Great!

The Cleveland Music Group was great to work with and have many DJs and Musicians to help make your wedding sound great! When we had an issue with the pianist no longer being available for our wedding, they were able to find a replacement quickly, and for no extra cost to us. We absolutely loved DJ Alyssa Watson too! She really made our reception special and matched our music vibe perfectly. If you are looking for one-stop music company to manage both musicians and a DJ for you, I highly recommend the Cleveland Music Group!

Dj eric took us higher

We and our guests all LOVED DJ Eric all night! He started the night playing music that got everybody on the dance floor, and then transitioned smoothly to make our wedding reception the party of our dreams. He was very responsive and easy to work with during the planning process and gave honest feedback to all of our ideas. He had the dance floor PACKED all night and helped the whole event run smoothly, from giving feedback to microphone usage during our ceremony al timeline feedback of the reception and even working with and communicating his recommendations to our other vendors. The big hit of the night was Eric's idea, he played "Higher" by Creed and timed it just right to where the chorus hit right at the stroke of midnight. Even days later we are getting compliments from our guests about how great DJ Eric was. We can not recommend him enough to anybody planning any event where you want a big party with the dance floor packed. Thank you Eric!!

The perfect DJ experience

We worked with Cleveland Music Group for our wedding on 9/28. It was such a good experience. Scott, the owner, was super communicative which always makes planning easy. We ended up signing a contract for DJ PJ Carmack of Cleveland Music Group and for the open air photo booth. Both were perfect. DJ PJ is an amazing DJ with perfect music taste. Our guests never left the dance floor all night and so many of our guests gave us compliments on how good he was. He came early to set up with high quality equipment and we never had that screeching problem that can happen when people are giving speeches. He was extremely respectful, never left the stand where he was playing music, and always provided energy throughout his set. The guy is such a pro. It's hard to believe that there’s anyone better out there.

The open air photo booth was also pretty sick. We got to choose a custom design for our prints which was pretty special and the amount of props / quality of props that the booth tech brought was insane. It felt like a pretty high quality experience to entertain our guests. We were pleasantly surprised as it took some convincing to get my wife onboard with this extra purchase. We would absolutely recommend this option to others too!

The Avenue Band 6/29/24

We used The Avenue band for our wedding and they were AWESOME! They were very easy to work with and kept everyone entertained and dancing all night long! The band music was very important to us and they played all the hits that appealed to all age groups and really made for the perfect evening. Thank you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I saw this act in Pittsburgh while there on a photoboothlive. Wow! These guys are top drawer performers. If they took breaks, they were quick. The dance floor never stopped. Just over the top! You must catch their act.
