Upbeats DJs servicing Cincinnati, Columbus & Indianapolis

As you begin to plan you are searching for the most unique vendors for your celebration. You want your big day to be one of a kind, different than your sister, cousin and best friend's wedding day. You want your celebration to be stand alone and when the night is over you want to hear "THIS was the best time I have had at a wedding and I want a day just like this" from you unmarried friends and family.
Upbeats DJ's is the secret sauce in creating just that. We are much different your uncle Bobby that is a DJ, much different than the other DJ's you have spoken to and seen at the wedding shows, basically much different than all the other DJ's in the business. We dress differently, we interact the way you request with a chic care, we mix in key, mashup and quick mix keeping the dancefloor fresh and popping (many if not all DJ auto play their reception soundtracks). We do not setup on a table (we use our own unique DJ furniture), We do know use the spencer gift looking spinning lights. Our lights are very unique Astera liquid pixel lights and fill the room with energy (no colored dot on peoples faces in pictures). Our hosting skills are like you hired Ryan Seacrest for you wedding. Your celebration will be different and the talk of everyone with Upbeats DJ's.

💃🕺One hot request is our LIVE DJ mixes during cocktail hour and dinner. We even suggest dancing during cocktails / 1st hour, while waiting on you to arrive to the celebration space (keeping it fresh and new is what makes memories).
We have a flawless guide on how this works every time. Then highlighted with our quick mixing/mashups during dancing, keeps the dance floor fresh and the guests dancing excited to hear what is next.
PS: ask about our newly added add-on "Astera Liquid Pixel Tube Lighting System" 😍

Please reach out and we can get together in person or virtually. No matter how we would enjoy speaking with you to learn how we can lead your family and friends in a great celebration that will be chatted up for months and years to come.

Awesome DJ!

We couldn't be more happy with our decision to hire Upbeats DJ's for our wedding celebration. Doug entertained every idea we had and made sure that our day was exactly as we wanted it to be. Our venue coordinator loved working with him and said he was one of the best she's worked with. His set up is "rad" and he did a great job keeping the guests engaged. We highly recommend Upbeats DJ's!!!

Exceptional DJ That Does The Most for You!

Upbeats DJ, Doug, and his team were exceptional in every way possible from the moment we booked them, the weeks leading up into the wedding, and throughout wedding day. Doug was always quick to respond when we had questions and always made us feel like a priority. He was very professional, but also extremely personable. He made sure that we didn’t feel as if we just hired a DJ, but that we hired someone that was going to ensure our day went as smooth as possible, while providing a personal touch that made everyone feel welcome, excited, and part of the celebration. Doug was also very thorough throughout the whole planning process. He started reaching out to us a few months before the wedding to start planning our timeline of the evening and made sure that he knew exactly what we wanted. We even threw some curveballs at him right before the wedding and he quickly adjusted his plan and setup to accommodate our changes. Our venue even commented to us that Doug was the most prepared DJ they had ever had. He worked with each of our other vendors to make sure they were all on the same page for every part of the evening. All of this, and we still haven’t gotten to the music, lights and dancing. Our whole evening was filled with music that we loved and music that everyone knew. Our dance floor was completely full the whole evening and that’s all due to how Doug created his sets. He curated the perfect mix of slow songs, dance songs, singing songs, old music, and new music. The lighting system they use is also fantastic. It creates an amazing atmosphere without interfering with the photographer’s and videographer’s lenses. I can only give the highest recommendation and praises to Doug and his team and would recommend him to anyone without any hesitation.

Good Atmosphere with Outstanding Music

We hired Upbeats DJ for our wedding. Our DJ, Jordan Hampton, did a great job with our ceremony, reception, and dancing. He set up a clip-on mic for our officiant, which was very helpful. The music throughout the happy hour and dinner was tasteful and appropriate. He also did a great job with the dancing music, and we got a lot of folks dancing. We all had a lovely time.
