DJ Eric Smith - The BEST!!

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.

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

WOW WOW WOW. Thanks for your detailed review of DJ Eric Smith here at CLE Music Group. We're so happy you had such an amazing experience with our services. Best wishes & congrats! - Scott

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!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Thanks for sharing the love here on Wedding Wire as well, Annie. We're so glad to have played an important role in your big day. Ernie had an amazing time. Congrats! - Scott

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!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Mia....You're the best. Thanks for the LOVE here on Wedding Wire too! Thanks again for trusting CLE Music Group & "The Orchestra" to bring the dance floor to life. All the best, - Scott

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!

Thanks for your wonderful review, Kristin. We're so glad you enjoyed our DJ (Alyssa) and Pianist (Carey Viton). Best wishes & congrats! Cheers to 2025 and beyond - Scott

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!!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Yes! Yes! Yes! Love this. Eric is definitely the "Highest" quality DJ you can get. He's the best! Thanks for your amazing review here on Wedding Wire! Congrats! - Scott

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!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

LOVE LOVE LOVE this review. Thanks again, Jacob. We appreciate you trusting our whole team here at CLE Music Group. Best wishes & congrats. We hope to see you at another event soon! - Cheers, Scott.

Best Day Ever!

Overall I just have to say everyone I talked to at Cleveland Music Group were phenomenal- they were quick to respond and answered any questions I had during the planning process. We first booked our DJ then later added on a photo booth. DJ Edward G's energy was 100 from start to finish. He kept finding fun ways to get people on the dance floor- this included a dance off between the guys and girls, it was hilarious (in a good way)!! We did an open air photobooth- the background, props, and prints were great, the attendant was also very nice! My only regret was not adding more time- guests loved it!

Easy to work with. Responsive to our requests. Flexible in setup. We were planning to have our wedding inside due to weather, but Eric was great about the last minute change and setting up outside for dancing. He had our guests on the dance floor all night. Would absolutely recommend!

Simply amazing!

Phenomenal, incredible, extraordinary, exceptional, outstanding…these are just a few words I would use to describe our experience with the Cleveland Music Group for our wedding. Scott Jones is simply AMAZING. If you are looking for top-notch talent…look no further. His professionalism in working with us and our vendors and the execution of events was flawless. Our special night was made even more special by his entertainment and music…from happy hour through dinner and dancing. Our guests are still raving about him, the music selections and the fun provided throughout the entire evening. Truly memorable, which is exactly what we wanted. CALL HIM NOW!! You won't regret it!

Most incredible band

Oh my gosh. Our New Years Eve wedding was the absolute greatest night of our lives and The Orchestra was one of the main reasons for that. They were INCREDIBLE. Dwayne is an amazing and accommodating (he allowed our friend to sing with them) emcee and band leader. Ricks voice and piano skills for our ceremony were next level, and he was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. They absolutely killed the NYE countdown and auld Lang syne after it. Many people throughout the night was asking where we found this incredible band and how this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to due to the band and vibe they brought. I cannot think you all enough.

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

You are too kind. Thanks for the review of "The Orchestra" here on Wedding Wire as well. We were happy to play such an important role in your celebration. Best Wishes - Scott

Exceptional evening led by DJ Dan DC Cormier

Dan did an absolutely exceptional job in DJing and MCing our wedding. He set the tone as the hype man just prior to our wedding party entrance and he kept the crowd engaged, energized and having fun until the very last song ended. Words cannot express the positive impact that Dan’s work had on our big day. He truly went above and beyond to ensure that our multicultural wedding was enjoyed by all. Dan’s charismatic personality and personable demeanor won everyone over and he was a joy to work with. He executed the order of events timeline seamlessly and timely. His high level of professionalism in networking and coordinating with the Metropolitan at the 9’s wedding coordinator and other vendors was top notch. We would absolutely book Dan again and recommend him for any event and every crowd.

DJ Jordan is Awesome!

DJ Jordan Kolaric is amazing! He DJ-ed my wedding on 11/11 & was such a hit!! From the first time my fiancé & I spoke with him, he listened to our vision of songs that we wanted for our wedding reception, & let me tell you, he made it happen the night of the reception! All the guests had so much fun on the dance floor - & the songs he played KEPT the people on the floor, which of course was the goal!! Also, the uplights looked amazing! Thank you, Jordan! You’re awesome! We will totally work with you again for another occasion in the future! 5+ stars for sure!

Amazing DJ!

We used Cleveland Music Group to book our wedding DJ, Jazz trio for cocktail hour, and photo booth. Service was wonderful! From the start there was great communication from our account manager. We booked DJ Evan Foltz as our DJ and were extremely happy with his service! He was a pleasure to work with and was organized and helpful as we made our music selections and planned for the day. He was a great communicator prior to the event and even worked with one of our groomsmen who had a special request for some music during his toast. He did a wonderful job at with the music for our ceremony, facilitating our reception, and most importantly keeping everyone on the dance floor! Evan did such an amazing job selecting dance floor music based on what we had told him we envisioned for the night. We got so many compliments from our guests on our DJ. Guests loved the music and were on the dance floor all night, which was important to my husband and I because we love to dance! We could not be happier with the service Evan provided on our special day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!

Stan Davis and the Bottom Line

This review is for Stan Davis and The Bottom Line. We absolutely loved having them as our wedding band, and Stan was delightful to work with. He kept the night running smoothly, and their music was top-notch and kept so many of our family and friends on the dance floor. We had some challenges getting in touch with Cleveland Music Group throughout the planning process, so I would reach out directly to The Bottom Line and just hire them.

I'm sorry to hear that you had challenges getting in touch with us here at CLE Music Group as we pride ourselves on being available nearly 24/7 and responding quickly.

The bearded Dj is the best!

My husband and I got married this Saturday and we had the pleasure of working with Eric (the bearded Dj). I truly have nothing but great things to say. My husband and I have an alternate taste in music and wanted to incorporate that in our while also playing songs our guests would like. Eric had found the PERFECT balance and kept everyone on the dance floor. The flow of everything was awesome! Eric was very responsive and so easy to work with! Go with Eric you won’t regret it!

Cleveland Music Group was wonderful to work with. DJ Chris Hatton did music and sound for our ceremony, live music for our cocktail hour, AND music for our reception.

DJ Chris Hatton was very professional and kept the timing of everything perfect. HIGHLY recommend him. :)

Wonderful & Professional DJ

We loved having DJ Bill Bowen at our wedding! Leading up to the event, we talked through our vision and timeline for the day. On the day of the wedding, we barely had the time to talk with him once the wedding started. Even though we were so busy, he was able to take care of everything and DJ an amazing night. We added his services for the ceremony last minute and didn't have the time to show him the ceremony location or rehearse with him and he pulled everything off in such a professional way. All in all, DJ Bill Bowen did an excellent job and I would definitely hire him again for a big event!

Packed dance floor all night

I worked with DJ Cadence for my wedding on June 2nd, and she was amazing. She was easy to get in touch with before the event and was always available for questions. She’s also super fun to talk to :) On the day of, she played the perfect mix of my playlist and other songs to keep the party going. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. I recommend using her photo booth because everyone loved it! It was easy to use, and you get the whole gallery afterward! I highly recommend her to anyone as DJ for weddings and any event!

Amazing experience with James Fruits/ CMG!

We utilized James Fruits for our wedding and Cannot recommend him enough! From our first conversation, you could just tell James has a gift and loves what he does. We knew he was the right choice as our DJ. He provides helpful documents to guide through the process and held a call with us the week before our wedding which was such a joy. His positive demeanor, thoughtfulness, and helpful guidance made all the difference. The day of he wow’d our guests with an acoustic performance during the cocktail reception - he is an excellent singer/performer! Such a unique offering and really made the day super special. The music played was exactly what we wanted and he checked in with us throughout the night with a big smile. He knew exactly when to play what. Our guests commented on how great the music was and how wonderful he was to interact with. James made our day so special and truly cannot recommend him enough.

DJ Judi Chevrolet was FANTASTIC!!

Not only was Judi a blast to work with, but her professionalism was top-notch. She met with us about six weeks before the wedding and really honed in on the details that were important to us. We were impressed by her experience and her upbeat personality, and we felt comfortable knowing that she would keep the evening moving smoothly. Highly recommend DJ Judi Chevrolet!

Amazing Band

We hired The Avenue from CMG and they were amazing! The energy that the band brought to our wedding was fantastic. The lead singer, Tiffany, was fantastic to work with and she pulled my nieces and nephews up on stage to dance during their sets. They had everyone on the dance floor and played all of the songs we wanted to hear. Our out of town guests from Maryland want them to come play. They made us feel so special and made our wedding even better!

The life of the party

Cleveland Music Group's "The Orchestra" was instrumental in making the wedding of our dreams come true! From the moment the band started playing our guests were loving every second of it. A few band members came onto the dance floor to play and dance with guests at the same time which was so much fun. Four hours of playing went by so quickly and we wish they could've played all night! So much fun.

WOW WOW WOW! Thanks for the love. I'll share this with Dwayne and the rest of The Orchestra right away. Thanks for using CLE Music Group. Best Wishes, Congrats & Happy New Year! - Scott

Best Dj ever!

Cleveland Music Group delivered with DJ PJ!! Our dance floor was full and we had many people during and after the event comment on how awesome he did. He listens and takes all suggestions from you and was so good about checking in beforehand and even throughout your event to ensure everything went smoothly. Eric with Cleveland Music Group was great to work with prior and before to get everything booked and squared away. Highly recommend!!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

YAY! Love this review. Thanks for the review of CLE Music Group, Eric Smith and DJ PJ! From all of us, best wishes & congrats! - Scott

Pj carmack is the perfect wedding dj!

PJ Carmack was THE PERFECT DJ for our wedding! He went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of and ensured that we had the best night with all our friends & family. The crowd loved him (they even chanted his name!), he was the life of the party and he kept our dance floor filled all night long. He was the best DJ we’ve ever seen at a wedding, played a great mix of all our favorite songs & crowd pleasers, and we are incredibly lucky to have had him for our own wedding! THANK YOU PJ!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Love this! Thanks for posting up your kind words here on Wedding Wire as well. All the best to you and Brian. - Congrats! - Scott

Cleveland Music Group was so easy to work with and did a wonderful job!

We used Cleveland Music Group for our DJ (Evan Foltz), lighting, and open air photobooth for our June 11, 2022 wedding at the Union Club of Cleveland. Cleveland Music Group was so helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and did a great job with the lighting and photobooth, and I cannot say enough good things about our DJ, Evan Foltz! Evan did such an incredible job as our DJ! He executed exactly what we wanted for our wedding music, which was not a typical wedding playlist. He took our input (a general playlist of songs we like that was over 13 hours long, as well as a list of must play songs and songs for different parts of the night) and put together a mix of music for the night that was absolutely perfect! Many of our guests told us we had the best music at our wedding! He was great to work with throughout the planning process in the lead up to the wedding as well.

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Kira: WOW! Thanks for leaving your stellar review here on Wedding Wire as well. YOU ROCK! It was a pleasure working with you and providing our DJ, Lighting and Photo Booth Services. - Best Wishes & Congrats (Scott).

DJ BAM and the whole team was excellent

We chose DJ BAM (Brian MacDonald) because his profile mentioned a variety of music and he is a veteran (so he knows how to get a job done!) He was professional, easy to work with, and everyone of all ages loved him. He kept the night going without rushing anyone. He played some of our requests (for example, salsa) and then moved it along when he realized only 1-2 couples actually wanted to salsa. His timing was fantastic. We also chose CMG for uplighting (which was a fantastic choice to boost decor) and live streaming our ceremony. Livestreaming also went off without a hitch. The livestream team did several site visits to the church beforehand to make sure everything would work.

Our first planned wedding date was 7/2020, we rescheduled twice before our final date of 4/2022, and they were flexible and available every single time. So happy we chose CMG!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Hello Grace: Thanks for your amazing review of CLE Music Group + DJ BAM + UpLighting + Live Streaming. It was a pleasure working with you! Thanks for trusting our team to make it perfect. Best wishes & Congrats - Scott

Perfection!

I truly believe that the music makes the wedding, so from the first moment of planning I knew I wanted a band that would set the tone for the night. We hired The Element through Cleveland Music Group and they delivered in every way. Erin Rossi was incredible to work with while coordinating for our wedding and made for an excellent emcee that kept guests engaged (not to mention, her voice is absolutely incredible!!) The band built a perfect setlist based on our style and the dance floor was packed ALL night. Many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and that was in large part due to the band. I'll also note that we used CMG for our ceremony sound and photo booth, and both were executed flawlessly. From coordination to delivery, The Element and Cleveland Music Group absolutely ROCKED. I'd highly highly recommend them for any wedding!

We highly recommend DJ London Bridges!

Brandon was a fantastic DJ for our wedding! We got so many compliments from our guests. He had the perfect balance of being engaging with everyone without making himself the star of the night. He kept the energy high throughout the night while still fitting in our requested songs. He checked in with us periodically just to see if we needed anything and to make sure we were happy with what was being played. Cleveland Music Group was also very understanding and flexible when we had to delay our wedding twice due to Covid. DJ London Bridges was excellent and we definitely recommend him!

Hire dj dc!

We interviewed a couple of DJs and ultimately decided to go with CMG and DJ DC. DJ DC (Daniel) was amazing, he is clearly experienced and comfortable in his role. We made some last minute changes (literally seconds before we did our grand entrance) and he adapted with ease. We did "Ballroom Blitz" where we ran around to get pictures with everyone, and it would have failed miserably without DJ DC - He made it a point to get everyone back in their seats and hyped up for photos. He also read the crowd well, adjusted his playlist on the fly to get as many people on the dance floor as possible.

We also used CMG for uplighting, which was excellent. The communication from both the CMG administrative staff and DJ DC was excellent - professional and timely. Highly recommend.

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

THANK YOU for your amazing review of DJ DC and our entire team here at CLE Music Group. From all of us, BEST WISHES & Congrats!

Flexible, Knowledgeable, and Professional

Scott was phenomenal. We needed to postpone our celebration to over a year later due to Covid. Scott worked with us, was flexible with his time, and didn't try charge us extra to move like a lot of our vendors. We had a Jewish wedding and he was great. Knew the traditions, kept us on track. I received a ton of compliments from friends about his music selection and mixes as well. Overall great experience and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

We wanted to have strings play during our ceremony in Akron and CMG did NOT disappoint! We shared a list of songs we wanted to have for the processional and my entrance and they worked with us figure out other songs that their quartet could play while guests arrived. Management was great to work with to coordinate the location and needs of the musicians. We highly recommend having CMG play at your wedding!

DJ PJ and Cle Music Group are bomb!

I would like to praise DJ PJ Carmack for his work as our Emcee/DJ at our wedding. He listened to all my questions, comments and concerns about the music and developed a great playlist that I was extremely happy with. I even went as far as to write him a large list of must play songs and he made sure they were all played! He kept people on the dance floor and always had a smile on his face. He made sure my husband and I kept to the wedding timeline as best as possible and politely would tell us when the next event needed to happen. The time flies by so quickly and it was nice that someone was keeping track because I sure wasn't! The music and DJ really do make or break the wedding I think and I'm so glad PJ was able to be with us for our wedding. He is also the most responsive vendor we hired. He made it super easy to get a hold of him! Thanks again PJ!!

Best DJ Ever!

I can not even begin to thank Scott for the wonderful job that he did DJing our wedding. There was a great mix of music and the dance floor was full the entire time. I appreciate that Scott made himself part of the event. He was out on the dance floor during ceremonial events such as the anniversary dance. The night was magical, and I know that Scott was a huge part of that. He was the best DJ out of any wedding or event that I have ever attended. I highly recommend working with Scott. You will not regret it!

Cleveland Music Group - The Avenue was amazing!

We worked with Cleveland Music Group to book The Avenue for our wedding and they did an amazing job. The band leader was attentive and responsive in the couple of weeks leading up to the wedding. The MC did a great job and was even able to work with my parents to do a "surprise" for us after the father and bride dance. During and after the wedding, we had a number of our guests come up to tell us how amazing they were. They sounded like the real thing! Thank you Cleveland Music Group and The Avenue for making our night so special!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

THANK YOU - Thank you - THANK YOU! Love your review of CLE Music Group & "The Avenue". Thanks so much. Tiffany and I will be sure to share your thoughts with the rest of the band. Best Wishes - Scott

Outstanding experience with Cleveland Music Group and the RayBans

The RayBans truly made our wedding reception an evening to remember - Craig and the rest of the band were incredibly professional, flexible and kind from the planning process to the big day. They delivered an outstanding wedding reception performance - our guests were on the dance floor all night! We so appreciated their wide-ranging song list, talent and energy. They were flexible when we had to delay our wedding due to COVID, they accommodated an unconventional (and tight) performance space, they played our first dance song even though it wasn't on their official song list, and, when we encountered a few delays with dinner, they even offered to keep playing longer to make up for lost time. Our guests had a blast on the dance floor and my husband and I both agreed that dancing to the RayBans was our favorite memory of the day. Thank you RayBans and Cleveland Music Group for making our wedding entertainment experience stress-free and so enjoyable. A final shout out to Erin R. for all the help booking and rescheduling our date!

Dance the Night Away

DJ Evan and the Cleveland Music Group were awesome to work with! You can tell Evan has a lot of pride in his work by his attention to detail. He was very accommodating to our requests and did a fantastic job of having everyone dance the night away! Everyone complimented how good the music was the whole night. Evan was extremely courteous, even double-checking with my mother-in-law how to pronounce my last name for our grand entrance! I would highly recommend Evan to anyone for their next event. Evan did a great job and made everything super easy and stress free.

P.S. The photobooth was a huge hit and the operator did an awesome job accommodating all the big group photos!

HIGHLY recommend. Music was phenomenal.

We hired both a Band and a DJ for our wedding and used Cleveland Music Group. We worked with Erin at Cleveland Music group to hire The Avenue and DJ Taz (Hector Delgado). She took the time to understand what we wanted in terms of sound and instrumentation. The music was the most important piece of the wedding for us so it was important that we hired the right musicians. Erin was really great to work with and very helpful throughout the entire process.

Both the Avenue and DJ Taz were amazing. I will first talk about the Avenue. We had an 11 piece band at our wedding. The Avenue's musicians are top notch. They are very crisp and have a great sound. Tiffany, the band leader has an unbelievable voice and the other two vocalists also have powerful vocals. All three vocalists were extraordinary. The band took the time to understand the audience and the mood of the crowd to arrange the sets. The music that they selected for the reception were all great and got everyone on the dance floor. Their charisma, energy and musicianship were incredible and there wasn't a single moment where there wasn't dancing or where the dance floor was empty. Our guests raved about the Avenue and how good they were.

We hired DJ Taz (Hector Delgado) to play alongside the band and take over during their breaks. Hector was great to work with from the start. He met with me to discuss music genres, the process, and timeline details in preparation. We started off our night with DJ Taz playing our introduction music. After myself and my husband were introduced, I randomly invited our guests to join us dancing with the rest of the song and absolutely everyone got up to dance. DJ Taz (Hector) was flexible and continued to play the song to the audience. It was a wild and memorable way to start off the reception!! DJ Taz (Hector) was able to get everyone on the dance floor as well and it was a very seamless experience between the DJ and the Band.
I never sat down once the whole night and neither did our guests. I highly recommend The Avenue, DJ Taz and Cleveland Music Group!!!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

LOVE LOVE LOVE your detailed review! Thanks so much for taking the time to gush about CLE Music Group, The Avenue, DJ TAZ and Erin Rossi. From all of us, THANK YOU! Best Wishes - Scott

A perfect wedding weekend, thanks to CLE

Scott & team were absolutely perfect all weekend. We hired Nate Jones to play guitar at our rehearsal dinner, Ginni Dickinson for harp at our ceremony, Dave Kasper to play throughout our wedding day, Scott Jones to DJ our reception and DJ London Bridges to play our after party. All musicians went above and beyond in playing the exact kind of music we wanted and giving us the exact vibe we were looking for. The dance floors were packed each and every step of the way and we're so thankful to the group for giving us the weekend of our dreams. More importantly, Scott Jones is a consummate professional who certainly stepped outside of his job description to help us with planning and details around our events. Scott was always available for a chat and always provided a calming guidance, even in the most stressful periods of planning. On the day of our wedding, despite setting up to play his music, Scott also made sure to help us make sure our run of show was on track and kept everything moving. Thank you to all of CLE for making our wedding weekend so special

We worked with Scott from the Cleveland Music Group for our wedding at the Cleveland Botanical Garden! He was always responsive and super accommodating (e.g., we had to reschedule from our original 2020 date due to COVID). We worked with John Toula (guitar for ceremony) and DJ Mike (Michael) Alexander (reception). Talented & so friendly. We had planning calls leading up and everything went smoothly day-of! It was one of the easiest parts of wedding planning! Highly recommend.

Scott = best DJ

My husband and I hired Scott Jones as our wedding DJ (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). We are SO happy that we did!! He took the time to have numerous phone calls with us to fully understand what our vision was for all three components of the evening, gave us his expertise, and was super patient when it took us forever to get him our “must play list”. His personality is calm, cool, and collected while simultaneously being super fun and upbeat. Not to mention professional. From a list of about 20 songs we sent him, he curated the most perfect music experience. At several points through the night we looked at each other because we had forgotten to put a song on the “list” and it felt like he read our minds and played it anyways! What talent.

Our guests (and my husband and I) were out on the dance floor the entire night and never wanted to leave. When we decided 30 minutes before we had to be out of the venue that we wanted to do an impromptu hora, he rolled with the punches and was ready almost immediately to jump in. He played a great balance of top 40 hits, throwbacks, and oldie but goodies. Everyone had the best time at our wedding and we definitely have Scott to thank for that. We are so grateful!

Great DJ for our wedding!

We hired Bill Bowen from Cleveland Music Group and he did an amazing job!! We had a few requests and general likes/dislikes that we discussed beforehand and with that he created the perfect playlist that had the dance floor full all night long! Our photographer recommended Cleveland Music Group and said she had been at several weddings with different DJ's that were all consistently good and we would have to agree!

We also had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and they were very flexible and accommodating to our new date. They were very professional and easy to communicate with throughout the process.

Best Choice was the best choice for us

We selected the Best Choice DJ option and were blessed to get Brian McDonald about 6 weeks before the wedding date. He was very personable, got our style, and took requests in stride. Our guests all loved the music and many of them danced the whole night. The only thing that we felt could have been improved was a special circumstance. Our maid of honor is international and was unable to attend due to travel restrictions. We had a recording of her speech that our DJ played. He was more than accommodating in playing the speech, but we felt that there wasn't a lot of explanation for our guests, many of whom didn't know who they were suddenly hearing over the speakers. I'm sure this is not something DJs deal with every day, but we were just a little saddened that our maid of honor's speech felt rushed and unexplained.

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Thanks for your review. We're so happy you enjoyed CLE Music Group and DJ BAM (Brian McDonald). I feel terrible you were less than excited how the recorded speech was handled. Brian noted: "I made an announcement & said the maid of honor is overseas and has recorded a speech, and pressed play." - We're sorry. If you wanted us to say something in addition (possibly something prepared by the two of you) we would have been happy to do that as well. - In any event, THANKS for trusting us to keep your guests dancing! Best Wishes & Congrats - Scott (President/CLE Music Group)

Amazing wedding band.

We hired The Element to play at my daughter's wedding reception. I could not be more pleased. We are a family of musicians and the bar was high. Erin's voice is amazing and Tony Koussa Jr and the rest of the instrumentalists are phenomenal. The dance floor was full all night. You get what you pay for; these people are professional musicians. If you have to choose between having a few more hours d'oeuvres or hiring the band, hire the band!

Thanks so much for using CLE Music Group & The Element. LOVE THIS REVIEW!!!! We wish you all the best!

LOVED the avenue!

the avenue totally made our wedding! we were worried about keeping people on the dance floor at our 75-person, fresh-out-of-covid wedding, but the dance floor was packed all. night. long. tiffany made planning super easy and built the perfect setlist (while also respecting our 'do not play' and 'must play' lists). i am SUPER picky and was bummed we weren't able to hear them play live before we booked, but they sound exactly like they do on the website, if not better. book them!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Thank you for this amazing review of "The Avenue". I just shared it with Tiffany and the rest of the band! Thanks so much for trusting CLE Music Group + The Avenue to keep your dance floor packed! Best Wishes & Congrats! - Scott.

LOVE The Element!

The Element was the perfect band for our wedding reception. Erin worked with us through many changes and postponements due to COVID. She is flexible and professional in every aspect. Erin, Tony, Rick, and all the musicians were beyond what we had hoped and envisioned! We have heard from all our guests how wonderful and talented the band is! We cannot recommend the Element enough for any event!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

YAY! Thanks so much for the amazing review of "The Element" here at CLE Music Group Katie. From all of us, CONGRATS & Best Wishes - Scott.

Lawless/Luy Wedding

Wow! The avenue exceeded all of our expectations. They were wonderful! We had a "covid" wedding, so formal dancing was not permitted on a dance floor, however, we were allowed to dance at/near our tables and chairs. No one would have known a dance floor was not needed to have such an amazing night. The Avenue made the wedding day feel completely normal and full of energy. Everyone was up and dancing near their seats and having an amazing time. We owe that all to the amazing band! Tiffany was so responsive and helpful in the planning purposes beforehand. Truly, in every way, they were amazing. We received countless calls and texts the day and week after mentioning how much they enjoyed the singers, instrumentalists, and live band as a whole. We can't thank them enough!!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

OMG! You're amazing! Thanks for leaving this rave review here on Wedding Wire too! It was truly an honor to celebrate with you and your families! Best Wishes! - (Scott / The Avenue & CLE Music Group)

Danced the night away

DJ Evan Foltz killed it as our DJ! even though our wedding was small, the dance floor was packed! the cocktail hour and dinner music were exactly what we wanted and he really read the room for dancing, picking songs he knew would get the crowd moving. also thanks for playing WAP after every single bridesmaid requested it lol.

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Thanks for your kind review Alissa. Evan is one of the best! Thanks for using CLE Music Group & DJ Evan Foltz. We hope to see you again at a friends wedding in the future! Congrats.

CLE Music Group!

We used DJ Eric (i.e. The Bearded DJ) from Cleveland Music Group for our November wedding, and we were extremely pleased with our choice. All of our interactions with Eric and everyone at Cleveland Music Group were prompt, professional and helpful. We loved being able to (virtually) “meet” all of the DJ options before selecting one, in order to determine each person’s personality and style. Eric made everything about the music at our wedding easy. We had an extensive “DO NOT PLAY” list, and every one of our “bans” was respected during the wedding without issue. On the flip side, we had a fairly vague (but pointed) idea about the different styles of music that we actually wanted played during the different portions of our Reception. Yet, armed with only our relatively vague input, Eric crafted the perfect playlist for each portion of the evening, ranging from instrumental acoustic covers of popular songs, alternative music, some oldies, upbeat dance songs, and Top 40s. Eric was also great at controlling the flow of the evening without being overbearing. He cut in with ease, and then cut out when the pertinent information was conveyed. The dance floor was full the entire evening, up until the last song. We highly recommend DJ Eric and Cleveland Music Group!

Outstanding band, dance floor was packed all night!!

We hired The Orchestra via the Cleveland Music Group and they were outstanding!!!! I work in the music industry so was a little nervous about hiring a band but they exceeded my expectations. Dwayne (band leader) was easy to work with and checked in with me before key moments so I could ensure my photographer and key wedding party members were in place which was a nice touch. The band were terrific, lead vocals and horns were amazing, and the dance floor was packed the entire night - even during the breaks when they had the ipod on. I can't express enough how great they were.
The Cleveland Music Group was also very easy to work with and I was able to book my ceremony, cocktail, and reception music through them as well as the up-lighting for the reception so it made planning very easy.

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Missy - Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with everyone on Wedding Wire. It was a pleasure working with you. I'll pass along your praises to our Sonata Strings & The Orchestra. Best Wishes and Cheers to an amazing 2020! - Scott

DJ Evan gets the party movin'!

DJ Evan and CLE Music Group were so great to work with! Evan was not only an amazing DJ, but also a great MC. He helped the party flow easily, and you can tell he really has a passion for music. He was able to cater to the different vibes we wanted for the different parts of our wedding, and also make adjustments when needed. He was very professional and easy to work with, from the planning to the wedding day. We highly recommend him for your big day or big event!

Five stars for dj dc!

When we were searching for wedding DJs, all we wanted was someone who would keep the party going all night. DJ DC (Dan Cormier) did exactly that!! He was absolutely amazing. Even before the wedding, he met with us and gave us a worksheet ahead of time to get a sense of the music we were hoping would be played. At our reception, the dance floor was always packed (all the way up to midnight!) and we had an absolute blast. We had numerous guests telling us in the days after our wedding that it was the most fun wedding and the most they had ever danced at a wedding. Thank you, DJ DC, for the best wedding reception we could have imagined!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

YAY! So glad to see your review this morning of DJ DC! Thanks for the 5 Stars. DJ DC and the rest of our team here at CLE Music Group can't thank you enough for trusting in our talents to keep your dance floor full! Best Wishes & Congrats! - Scott

Highly Recommend Cleveland Music Group and DJ Chris Wallace

Cleveland Music Group was great to work with! Everyone on their staff is so friendly. We hired DJ Chris Wallace for our wedding. He did a great job throughout our entire wedding day and leading up to the event. My now husband and I have opposite work schedules that can be hard to work around, but Chris made it work and met with us late one evening to review our wedding day details and song expectations. On the day of the wedding he kept us well organized as well as all the events of the day flowing nicely. Our dance floor was filled from the moment music played and continued until the very end of the night. All of my family and friends kept commenting on how they loved his music selection too. It was such a fun day for everyone thanks to him. I highly recommend Chris!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Hi Carli! Thanks for your amazing review of our services. I'll make sure to pass along your kind words to DJ Chris Wallace as well. Best Wishes & Congrats!

These guys are amazing!

CLE Music Group as an organization is terrific, we really enjoyed working with them from start to finish. But more importantly, we ended up booking The Orchestra through them and they were AMAZING! We paid a little extra to have them play nonstop from first dances after dinner to the end of the night, worth every penny. Our dance floor was PACKED nonstop all night long. They're ability to read the room and play accordingly was amazing. It seemed like every guest came up to us to tell us this was the best band they had ever heard. We could not be happier with the decision we made, they were a huge part of what made our night perfect!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Anthony, Thanks for your kind words! You just made my day! I'll share your experience and thoughts with the band leader (Dwayne). Best Wishes & Congrats!

Professional, fun and personable

My husband and I are so happy to have chosen the Cleveland Music Group as our DJ for our wedding night. We worked with DJ Scott E. Jones and he was so easy to work with. He was flexible when changes need to be made last minute and mingled with our friends and family so well as if he has known us forever. His assistant, Kyle, was so nice and relayed anything we needed that night to Scott and vice versa. Our family and friends LOVE to dance and they kept us dancing all night! If we weren’t dancing on the dance floor, we were dancing back by the cupcake table! It was truly a great experience!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Thanks for your killer review Cailin. Kyle and I had so much fun with you and your families. Cheers to you and Chris. We wish you all the best! - Scott

An amazing band for an acoustically challenging venue!

Erin Rossi of the Element (and Tony Howard and Scott Jones of CMG) was so incredible to work with throughout wedding planning as well as on wedding day. Erin quickly answered my every email or call and was always a pleasure to talk to. Not only is Erin EXTREMELY talented, she is an amazing business person, emcee, and overall human being. She was so on top of everything. I felt so much less stressed knowing Erin was helping to lead the way on wedding day. I was very worried about the sound in the Old Courthouse, as I was warned it was bad due to it being a cavernous and marble-filled venue, but I thought the sound was amazing! It was way better than expected at the Courthouse, especially for the speeches. Thank you SO much. The wedding was an absolute blast thanks to The Element and CMG! And the lighting CMG set up also looked great!

The Bearded DJ is worth every penny!

DJ Eric Smith is a total pro and did a fantastic job with our wedding. He handled the music for both the ceremony and reception, and kept everything organized and on track-- we didn't have to worry about a thing. He did an amazing job of reading the room and adjusting music accordingly, fitting in many different genres of music and accommodating different audiences without any awkward transitions. We received so many compliments from our guests on the great variety of music he played. We had a blast and we are so grateful for his hard work making the night so memorable.

Thanks for your awesome review of CLE Music Group & DJ Eric Smith. I'll pass along these kind words to him this morning. You just made my day! - Best Wishes & Congrats - Scott (President, CLE Music Group)

Photobooth was great!

Cleveland Music Group was great with replying to emails and providing information. A week before the wedding, Angel sent us a questionnaire for details on the photobooth and designed our picture layout. Katrina was the person who set up and ran the photobooth at our wedding. She was professional and helped guests take their pictures.

There were a lot of props for the photobooth and the HALO photobooth system was very easy to use. It texted people their pictures so they could easily be posted online, which a lot of guest did after the wedding.

Cleveland Music Group did a great job!

Dancing the night away!

CMG was great to work with! We hired Sonata Strings for the ceremony music and the Element for the reception music. Both were outstanding and even learned new requested songs from the bride and groom. Everyone was out on the dance floor until the end and Erin of the Element was a terrific emcee! I would highly recommend them!

Can’t go wrong with CLE Music Group!

It goes without saying that music is a huge part of our lives. As a music therapist, it is especially important! Not once was our dance floor empty and two-three weeks later, we are still getting showered with compliments about our DJ and music choices!! DJ Evan Foltz went above and beyond in helping make our night meaningful. He helped create a part instrumental, part original recording version of “I See the Light” (from Disney’s ‘Tangled’) for the first dance so that I, the bride, could sing part of it.

They are quick to respond to any questions in emails and the professionalism was outstanding! A++++!

Dj Smoov or no one !!!

We hired Dj Smoov through cle music group and he was an absolute blast!!! We met with him twice before our wedding and he was very professional, organized and catered to our every need! I had a wide variety of age groups and we got literally EVERY person on the dance floor. He played all my younger generation music as well as 70s and 80s with remixes thrown in!! All my guests were raving about him. We made our night absolutely perfect!!!!

We hired the Sly Band through the Cleveland Music Group. They are the best wedding band you can hire. They are so talented and kept our dance floor packed the entire night with a mix of songs for all generations. They did not take a single break during the entire night. We highly recommend the Sly Band.

We just used Cleveland Music Group to book both our string trio for the ceremony and band for the reception. They were so easy to work with.

We love love LOVE DJ Judi Chevrolet

We could not have been more happy with our wedding DJ! Judi Chevrolet went above and beyond with every detail of our reception! My husband and I had planned our wedding in just 4 months, so we were a bit pressed to get everything together in time for the wedding, and Judi was incredibly helpful in offering suggestions for songs and being flexible with meeting times and phone calls. She was so much fun, playing a song for the kids (something we had wanted) and engaging all ages! We had a full dance floor ALL NIGHT! Of all the compliments my husband and I received after our reception, the one that was most prevalent was how amazing our DJ was! So great to work with and such a great addition to our team of professionals that day! 10/10 would recommend DJ Judi Chevrolet!

Duane was Phenomenal!

Duane played the bagpipes for my wedding ceremony and he was absolutely AMAZING! He was the perfect addition to our wedding day. Duane took the time to listen to my vision for the ceremony music and offered suggestions based on my description and everything was perfect! He played "Here Comes the Bride" for my walk down the aisle and it was breathtaking. My husband and I received so many comments on how amazing Duane and his traditional garb were at the ceremony and we even got to snag a picture with him, which was so special to us. Erin, the representative I worked with to secure Duane was kind and extremely helpful! She always responded to my questions in a timely manner and was always happy to help.

We absolutely loved our experience with Cleveland Music Group. We booked our up-lighting, ceremony music, and our DJ through Cleveland Music Group. The Sonata Strings were easy to coordinate with and provided beautiful music for our ceremony exactly how we imagined it. DJ Chris Wallace was easy to work with and kept the party going throughout the entire night! The value of the services provided by Cleveland Music Group was appropriate, and we would highly recommend their services to others planning their wedding day.

We loved working with the bearded DJ - Eric Smith and the whole Cleveland Music Group team! Eric was easy to communicate with, prompt, prepared, and kept the dance floor alive. He played the perfect mix of music to keep all the generations of wedding guests entertained. He looked over our reception order of events and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. I didn't leave the dance floor all night - and thats not an exaggeration.

Dancing all night!

Working with the Cleveland Music Group and The Sensations was one of the best decisions for our wedding. We were looking for a live band to play Motown hits, and they were exactly what we hoped for. Both the Cleveland Music Group and the Sensations were very easy to work with. The band leader was in touch with us frequently and took note of our requests. The Sensations are a great band, and they brought our guests out to the dance floor for hours. I highly recommend them.

Dave Eubanks for the win!

We hired Dave Eubanks to DJ our wedding reception. He was professional, classing, and all around great to work with. We do not like a lot of Top 40 songs and wanted everyone to feel comfortable on the dance floor. He was able to understand our preferences and provide great music. The dance floor was full all night and we had so much fun. So grateful to have hired him!

Highly Recommend DJ Gaz!

We hired DJ Gaz for our wedding through Cleveland Music Group. He was fantastic! Cleveland Music Group has a short video about each of their DJs. This is how we found DJ Gaz. We really liked how his voice sounded, when listening to the video. He has a voice made for radio, and we wanted to be announced in that voice at our reception.

DJ Gaz was all about making our event what we wanted. He made it abundantly clear that he didn't care if we had traditional wedding elements or not. He had a questionnaire that we filled out leading up to the wedding for which songs we wanted for everything. He thought of situations we would need songs for that we hadn't even thought of! One of the things that really made me want to hire him is that his questionnaire didn't assume I wanted to be addressed as "Mrs.". As someone who prefers to be addressed as "Ms.", this openness and lack of assumptions was very important to me.

Our wedding day, DJ Gaz played wonderful music. Many of our guests thought our wedding was larger than it was, because of all the people on the dance floor! He played a great selection of music, and he did exactly what he said he would! We highly recommend DJ Gaz with Cleveland Music Group!

If I could give MORE than 5 stars...I would!

Music is huge. In fact, I would say it is the single most important part of a wedding/reception. For our big day, we used Scott from CLE Music Group. Scott is more than a DJ. Imagine having a very talented friend who is able to lead, guide, and instruct every aspect of your day... that is Scott. He is organized and quick with responses during the entire planning process. On wedding day he kept the bridal party organized and ensured that we (bride/groom) knew exactly what to expect. He would say things like, "once you finish eating, if you want to mingle for a little bit with your guests, I will have you come back up for [...] in ten minutes." It took all of the day's stress off our shoulders and allowed us to have fun! Oh my goodness did we have fun! The dance floor was filled for 6 straight hours. It has been almost a week since our wedding day and still we receive daily compliments on how great the music was, how sore our guests were from dancing all night long, and how kind/energetic/fun our DJ was. I cannot extend enough gratitude or say enough to truly capture the magic that Scott helped us create. It was perfect. Thank you Scott. Thank you CLE Music Group. ~Ryan and Rachel

The CLE music group and the Avenue were the absolute best! The professionalism and guidance were wonderful, and working with Tiffany made everything very easy! The band was the best part of our reception and really made the evening magical! Our guests never left the dance floor! We recommend the CLE music group and the Avenue for any party!

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Thanks for your kind words! All of us here at CLE Music Group appreciate your review and recommendation of The Avenue. Best wishes in 2019 and beyond!

A Fantastic, Stress-Free Night

It all started with a great chat with Ben Howard at CMG, who paid great attention to our needs and provided us with a range of DJ and band options that could work within our venue size and budget. Then we found DJ Judi Chevrolet, who was exactly who we were looking for. She was incredibly accommodating to last-minute changes, open to taking the lead with managing the flow of the reception, and was an expert at reading the room and choosing music that would fit with the crowd occupying the dance floor. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Cleveland Music Group's reply:

Thanks for your wonderful review of our services Matt. Best wishes & Congrats! Cheers to a great 2019!

DJ Eric Smith was AMAZING to work with! We planned our wedding from afar and Eric was extremely accommodating of our schedules (and time zone difference!) when scheduling calls to discuss our timeline and playlist. His calm, relaxed energy was MUCH appreciated during the stressful planning process. Eric and our wedding planner kept the night moving along at just the right pace and easily accommodated a small hiccup that delayed our first dance. He played all of the (many, many) songs we requested, arranged them perfectly, and filled in the rest of the evening with just the right music. Our friends and family had the best time on the dance floor. DJ Eric helped make our wedding a perfect day!

DJ Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with. He met us at our venue walkthrough to help determine an ideal setup for everything, got us set up with additional lighting and a photobooth, and facilitated any questions we had leading up to our wedding day. He played a TON of our requests (both on our list and guest requests at the event) and avoided any Do Not Play songs we had requested. He emceed the event spot-on, then had the dance floor packed for hours. I could not have a higher recommendation for a DJ! Eric made our wedding night one to remember

We used Virginia Dickson as our harpist for our ceremony. She was amazing! Before the wedding she went over every song with me and was very accommodating to what I wanted! She played beautifully and so many people complimented how amazing she was all night! I would highly recommend her!

DJ Eric Smith was amazing!! He is so professional, organized, and just really fun to work with. He took the time to make sure he knew exactly what my husband and I wanted at our wedding reception. He did a great job keeping things on schedule with the toasts, dances, etc. and worked really well with our photographer. We had a couple of last-minute changes, which he handled for us no problem. We got so many compliments on the music and the dance floor - our family and friends had an absolutely BLAST which was so important to us! Everyone was dancing - from our 8 year old cousins to our 80 year old grandparents! Eric did a phenomenal job with the music selection, and every single song he chose we loved. On top of that he played all the songs we asked for (including some that we thought might be hard to find), and also played our guest's requests which was something we really wanted! My brother recently got engaged, and he and his fiance immediately booked Eric after seeing him in action at our wedding reception. We would highly recommend DJ Eric Smith and the Cleveland Music Group!

Cleveland Music Group was awesome! They made finding a DJ/photobooth for our wedding so easy. They are super quick to respond which made it so easy/stress free.

We had DJ Eric Smith "Bearded DJ" and he was fantastic!! He kept the dance floor packed all night- all of our guests raved about how good the music was. Highly recommend! If you are looking for photobooth-they do that too! We had the open air one and it was great- our guests loved it!

We found Eric Smith (The Bearded DJ) through CMG and would happily recommend them both. Eric was absolutely brilliant to work with. During the run up to the event he was very easy to get in touch with via both phone and email and it was obvious he wanted our day to run smoothly and be the best it could be. At the reception he did a brilliant job introducing the speeches - he never went over the top on the mic or wanted the attention to be on himself - and moved the evening on at the right pace. He listened to our music preferences and incorporated them into the night as well as taking into account what the room was liking. The fact there were so many people (even the shy ones!) on the dance floor is testament to his skills. Would absolutely recommend!!

Absolutely could not imagine a more professional, more energetic, more fun, or more talented group. Radiate Live (from the Cleveland Music Group) are just a fantastic bunch of musicians and performers. Hire them.

I was very apprehensive hiring a live band for my WNY wedding. A band can really make or break the party, and it took a lot of thinking and searching and listening before I settled on Radiate Live. Even after I’d contracted the band, I was super nervous.

I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Before the day Ashley and Sean were very communicative, low stress, and responsive to my questions. They happily took on song requests, and helped put together an acoustic arrangement for my sister in law. But when they started playing after dinner - they BROUGHT the party. Everyone was on the dance floor. My guests loved them, and the band loved my guests. The music was just incredible. I received so many compliments about the band, and if I should ever need live music again for any reason, I’ll know where to turn.

Thank you, guys! You kicked ass!

The Element was amazing! Our dance floor was packed the whole night and people kept saying, “this band is awesome!” Our guests didn’t want to take a break from dancing because the next song was better than the last! Such a great party and the band really interacts with your guests! There is so much that you can’t control on your wedding day - make sure you do control having the best band ever!! Thank you, Cleveland Music Group! Oh, and the photobooth was AwEsOmE, too!

We had the pleasure of booking Christian Dela Vega for our wedding reception. He was personable, professional, and above all else an excellent MC and DJ. His communication throughout the planning process was timely and friendly. Throughout the reception, Christian played all of the songs my wife and I had chosen and of course the rest of the selections he chose were great. We had guests on the floor all night long and we had compliments from many about how good Christian was doing. I would definitely reccommend him to anyone looking for a DJ, our reception hall even asked for his info so they could begin reccommending him to their future couples. It was a great experience and we really enjoyed the night, thanks, in part, to Christian's performance.

The Avenue put on the best show of any wedding band I have ever seen. There wasn't a single time the dance floor was empty, and this was for older crowd, too! The vocals were great, loved the set list, sound was perfect for the venue. Not the cheapest, but well worth it for a night everyone will remember.
