Synapse Entertainment

We can’t say enough good things about Ivan! From our first call to the very last song, he was professional, organized, and such a joy to work with. He checked in regularly, helped us fine-tune our reception timeline, and made planning a breeze with his easy-to-use app for scheduling and song lists.

We gave him way more songs than we could possibly fit in, and he did an amazing job reading the room and picking the perfect tracks from our list. Guests kept telling us how much they loved the music—one even said it kept them “on their toes” all night because Ivan moved between genres so effortlessly. He nailed our must-play list, kept the flow as emcee without being overbearing, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors.

On top of all that, we felt his pricing was a great value compared to others we met with, and he even surprised us with a thoughtful gift after the wedding. Ivan truly made our night unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend him more!

Ivan was awesome to work with. The music was perfect, communication was excellent, and everyone had SO much fun! People loved the music selection and we just had so much fun dancing the night away!

Ivan did a fantastic job running the show on our wedding day! He set up the mics and sound system for our ceremony, played music for cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, and made our requested announcements throughout the night. He was a great MC to queue up speeches and we did not have to worry about anything at all as it all ran smoothly. Ivan was very easy to reach, organized, and worked with us through every detail of the wedding day. We liked that we could provide our requested music for different portions of the night and then he also adapted our music to keep the party going! We would highly recommend synapse entertainment and were very happy with the quality of service we experienced for a great price! Thank you Ivan, it was the best day ever!!

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!

Synapse Entertainment is highly recommended! Ivan was incredibly thorough and responsive to all communication. He was flexible and provided the best possible experience at our wedding!

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!

We hired DJ Ivan for our 50 th wedding anniversary party. He was very helpful with suggestions and planning. He has a lot of wedding experience and made our party a big hit.

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!

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!!
