Wedding DJ

I decided a little over a month before my wedding that I wanted a DJ. Less than 20 minutes after my vendor request Fred called me to get all the details. 10 minutes after that he sent me the invoice and assigned me Andrew. Andrew was AMAZING. All I gave him on our phone call was vibes and he NAILED IT. He routinely checked in on my throughout the wedding and even went with the flow when things ran behind or were added. Andrew and Fred were perfect and the pricing was PERFECT!!!

5/31/25 Wedding

DJ Butlers helped make our wedding reception perfect! Ryan was extremely easy to work with and was a blast at the reception itself. He understood our requests and the vibe we wanted while still using his professional discretion to keep the dance floor lively all night long. Ryan exceeded all of our expectations for a wedding DJ and we would recommend him to absolutely anyone!

Would reccomend!

We had the best time at our wedding. Music was very important to us, and our DJ Andrew listened to us to help us get a little bit of everything that we wanted. It all turned out so well. Thank you!

Fun, professional DJ

Andrew was a wonderful DJ! He provided us a packet ahead of time to help us plan our evening. A few weeks out from our wedding, he took an hour or so to walk through the packet and ask us questions we hadn’t thought of, ensuring we had everything squared away. The music was a solid blend, and he did a great job queuing us throughout the night. Thank you, Andrew!

Awesome Dj and company

We worked with Lewis Connell for our wedding and he did an amazing job! He was incredibly easy to work with, personable, and easy to talk to. He listened to everything we wanted, was very detailed, and gave me good ideas for portions of the night where I wasnt sure what music should play. He made me feel good about the whole flow of the night, which he executed perfectly! 10/10 !

Bailey Brammer

We used DJ Butlers for our wedding earlier this month, and loved every second of working with Greg! From start to finish, he was friendly, professional, and extremely detailed. Greg is exactly the kind of person you want to be part of your big day. I booked him about a year out from our wedding, so make sure to plan ahead when you’re booking with DJ Butlers! We had a timeline run-through meeting about a month out from the big day, where we also discussed what songs we liked/didn’t like for different parts of the reception. My husband is a very big music guy - and Greg really impressed him with some of his recommendations and industry knowledge. We had a live band playing during the ceremony and cocktail hour, but Greg still made sure to arrive a few hours before the ceremony to ensure everything was set up and ready to go — and even to provide a microphone for our minister. During the reception, not only was Greg rocking it with the tunes — but he also made sure to check in with my husband and me periodically to see if we needed another drink, or anything else. Greg also really knows how to work a crowd — with a careful balance between staying on schedule and making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. We truly believe Greg was a perfect addition to our team of vendors - and he really was so much more than a DJ. We cannot recommend him enough — and can’t thank him enough for all of the hard work and attention to detail he put into our special day.

DJ Lewis was the life of the party!

We had such a great time with our DJ, Lewis, at our wedding! He was very attentive to the type of music we wanted at our dinner and reception. He even played the Pokemon theme song and helped us uniquely rick roll our guests, it was great! He had such a great attention to detail throughout the planning process and was very communicative. Highly recommend!

Absolutely exceptional!

Our experience working with Ryan and DJ Butlers for our October wedding was absolutely fantastic. We really felt that Ryan went above and beyond for us to make our special day perfect. My groom and I had zero anxieties the day of our wedding, because Ryan's expert planning and attention to detail put us at ease. He was always professional, honest, upbeat, helpful, and considerate. His planning and execution of all the events of our reception made the night flow effortlessly, and the music was exactly the style we wanted. Our guests had such a great time, and I feel I have Ryan to thank for that. We recommend him completely. Thank you so much, Ryan!

We would hire Lewis again in a heartbeat!

Lewis Connell was our DJ for our July 2021 wedding and we can't imagine anyone better. He was a helpful guide throughout the planning process and helped to keep the evening running smoothly. The dance floor was packed from beginning to end with friends and family of all ages. He did a great job of balancing the music we love with songs he knew would keep people on their feet. We would hire Lewis again in a heartbeat!

Lewis Connell is AMAZING!!!

Throughout my entire wedding planning process, my biggest concern for wedding day was that we get to the open dancing portion as quickly as possible and that the dance floor remained packed with dancers the entire night. And guess what, my wish came true! Lewis did a phenomenal job putting together the most amazing playlist and read the crowd perfectly. The dance floor stayed packed the entire night and I only left the dance floor twice myself. I had so many compliments from friends and family on the music choices. All my husband I did was put together a Spotify playlist of the music we liked and Lewis worked his magic. He made the entire process so easy, did exactly as we requested, and provided great feedback when we weren't sure on certain choices. I can't recommend him enough to anyone planning a wedding in the near future. You will most certainly not be disappointed!

Lewis Connell was AMAZING!

So, I honestly can't remember how I found DJ Butlers but I am so happy I did!!! Lewis was so nice and worked really well with us. He went above and beyond to the point where it made our wedding even more memorable!
One example of this was that during our ceremony, we had a sand ceremony instead of a unity candle. Prior to us pouring the sand, my brother (who officiated) had talked a lot about the movie the Princess Bride (it's my favorite movie) and alluded to it multiple times. We had not thought to have music playing during our sand ceremony and my brother didn't talk the whole time. So it was quiet for a minute and all of a sudden the main song from the Princess Bride started playing!!! It made that moment so much more special and brought me to tears. I thought that my brother had asked Lewis to play that song. Turns out that Lewis had queued up that song on his own and when he noticed that we were still going with the sand but it was quiet, HE PLAYED THAT SONG FOR US! I was absolutely blown away and so incredibly grateful for that!!! And that's just one instance!
During our phone call before the wedding, I mentioned that I loved 70s and 80s rock but we wanted a mix of current and past music. Boy did he deliver! Every single song brought people to the dance floor, young and older :) We had so much fun with him that we added an extra hour! - speaking of, that was so easy!!! We were able to add time NIGHT OF! Which was so helpful and convenient!
He truly helped us have the time of our lives and I can not recommend him enough!

Wedding Day went great!

Our DJ through DJ Butlers was Lewis Connell, and he did a great job! We had a great meeting before the wedding mapping out the nights events and Lewis helped guide us on what we wanted the night to be like for everyone! He got exactly what music we wanted and really helped fill in where we didn't know what we wanted. The evening of, he showed up on time and was ready to go! He helped guide the night through our whole schedule! Having a wedding during this pandemic was stressful but I couldn't have asked for better vendors who showed up and made the night the total opposite. I highly recommend using this company and Lewis for any event you may be needing them for!

Lewis Connell was amazing! He helped us plan and structure the night of our reception. His experience lead to him suggest we rework the schedule a bit so that the dance floor would be uninterrupted and it worked out so well. He kept our music tastes in mind but knew what music to play so that everyone at the wedding was having a good time. I would recommend him to anyone who asks!

Ryan Riesenbeck is an awesome DJ!

I’m normally not the type of person to really write reviews, but this is an exception! Ryan Riesenbeck was our DJ at our wedding last night & he was beyond amazing!! Before the big day, Ryan really helped us get the time line of our day down & brought up things that we hadn’t even thought about! He made things run so smoothly from the ceremony music, to every aspect of our reception! He was constantly checking on us & our guests throughout the night and even made sure we all had drinks in our hands! If you truly want to have someone at your event that is a TON of fun, super reliable, & just an overall great person, I highly recommend Ryan Riesenbeck for your DJ! He did an amazing job at making our day perfect!

We had Aaron Smith as our DJ for our wedding and did an amazing job! He was professional, organized and kept the dance floor going all night! He was also constantly checking in with us and making sure everything was going as we planned. He even helped make announcements to wrangle family member that had wondered off before family pictures! DJ Butlers is an amazing company and I definitely recommend them!

Absolutely amazing

Ryan was our DJ. He was a blast. Our first meeting with him got me so excited about our wedding. He had us on a schedule for cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc and made sure we didn't miss anything. He played during our ceremony and our reception. His light show was great and he was a blast to work with!! He played all of the songs we asked him to, and then at the end of the night played a song for me and my new husband to rap to, gave us microphones and everything. It was a great party thanks to this guy keeping the party going! Highly recommend!!

Great experience with DJ Butlers!

I will always recommend DJ Butlers to anyone looking for a DJ! I have been to plenty of events where DJs are "cheesy" or play lame music...so I was a little nervous about booking a DJ. However, after meeting with our DJ (Lewis Connell) my worries disappeared! Everyone was on the dance floor all night and his music selection was so perfect! We gave him little guidance as to what kind of music we wanted him to play, and we were so happy that he was able to read the crowd and get people dancing! Besides playing music, Lewis was an awesome MC for the night! He was very organized and helped facilitate all the speeches, first dances, cake cutting so that everything went smoothly. DJ Butlers is a very professional service and I would HIGHLY recommend!

Recommend!

Lewis Connell with "Music by Request" DJ'd our wedding at the Cincinnati Art Musuem. He did a fantastic job and I'd recommend to others without reservation. He was professional and easy to communicate with throughout the process. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and his calm and professional demeanor made the process a breeze. His sense of timing and ability to read the room made sure the night flowed smoothly. When it came time for the celebration - he kept the dance floor full all night! I would absolutely hire Lewis and 'Music by Request" again!

Lewis Connell for my FANTASTIC wedding day

I met Lewis Connell at Cincinnati's Bridalrama in 2018. He works for the DJ company "DJ Butlers" and I was immediately drawn to his infectious personality and laid back attitude. We wanted to choose a DJ that wasn't trying to "sell us" himself nor a bunch of fancy equipment (you guys know what I'm referring to regarding some of these bridal show booths!) Lewis made my husband and I feel so comfortable and excited about our wedding day. The company provides you with an extremely organized packet that you would fill out according to your wedding timeline (what songs you want played and when to play them, names of important bridal party members/family etc.) I LOVED how Lewis met with us a week before our wedding and took the time and effort to go through this packet with us. He gave me his honest opinions when I needed them and he didn't make us feel silly at all about some of the un-traditional wedding details we didn't incorporate. On the day of our wedding he made sure our officiant had a microphone check so that our guests would be able to hear him speak. Lewis took charge of situations when nobody else would listen to me (frustrating for a bride!) and we are so thankful that he was a HUGE part of our wedding. He is also so much fun and played some BOMB A** tunes ;) the timing of the songs we chose was played out flawlessly and Lewis genuinely loves what he does so please book him for your event ahead of time so that you can experience his greatness! If you're an OCD bride like I was and you want someone who you feel comfortable making very specific requests to then Lewis would be a perfect DJ for you big day. Thanks again Lewis and DJ Butlers for allowing him to be present at our wedding! (I'm writing this review 2 days after our wedding so that everything is still fresh in my mind, LOL)

Best dj ever!

Ryan Riesenbeck with DJ Butlers made our wedding so special. He made us feel like his top priority through the entire wedding planning process. I do wedding coordination so I have worked with many DJ's, but Ryan was by far the most professional and entertaining and I cant wait to work with him more in the future! He kept our dance floor packed all night!

We booked Lewis for our wedding, and I can’t show enough gratitude for how wonderful he was. He satisfied everyone’s music tastes. Kept the energy high. Worked with us through any requests/desires. Responded immediately to our questions. You all, book him. You will never regret it. He treated us so well and truly cared about us and making our day so special. Our guests were so pleased with his work they literally got his number at the end of the night. Our wedding night was absolutely flawless and we owe a lot of that to Lewis!

Fred Caldwell with DJ Butlers was the "secret sauce" to our wedding. I could not have imagined our reception being any better and he helped to make our night absolutely unforgettable. To kick-off the vendor process once we had a contract, we had a planning meeting with Fred about two weeks before the wedding to outline flow, music preferences and announcements. He gave tremendous help along the way and eased any nerves in the process through his humor and simply understanding of how a wedding should go based off his extensive experience DJ'ing. The night of the wedding the script was executed flawlessly. Parents loved the introduction, all bridal party members had their name correct (even the hard ones!) and the dinner's captain call went as smooth as can be. Post dinner, Fred checked in with Brian and I about 30 minutes into dinner and kept us on track to do a quick loop around the reception hall to say hi to guests. This was a really nice touch that many complimented us on afterward thanks to DJ Butlers' advice. After dinner the PARTY WAS ON! Once we entered the shared room that hosted the bar, sweets and dance floor we did not leave... as well as most of our guests took this route, too. We gave a handful of songs to Fred to play during the planning meeting, but trusted him to run the music as he saw fit. I'd say about half of our songs he played and then the rest went ad-hoc. The ultimate complement we received were from guests that live in Las Vegas (the entertainment capital of the U.S.) and all raved this was one of the best weddings or "parties" in their terms they've ever attended. We had other wonderful vendors, but we truly believe Fred's charismatic personality, energy, professionalism and experience emceeing the festivities and playing music took our reception from awesome to epic. Thank you DJ Butlers! We'd recommend you to anyone.

All I can say is WOW! We had Fred DJ our wedding at the Hilton Netherland and he brought down the house! From the beginning of the reception, he personalized everything from the entrances to the way he announced the person giving a toast. Any time anything happened like the cake cutting, he made sure to announce it so that every guest knew what was going on.

Fred made every guest I had feel included and apart of our wedding. My mom gave a welcome speech and later said to me, "I wasn't expecting that I'd have to pause during my speech so much for people to clap when I was introducing certain guests. But, I think that Fred helped us prepare an evening where guests felt just so included in what was going on that they literally felt apart of everything.”

As soon as the dance floor opened, it was immediately packed and stayed that way until the reception was over! I heard so many times that my guests were sore the next day from dancing so much- even the ones who work out regularly!

I am a wedding photographer myself and I had a lot of out of town guests coming in for my wedding, so my choice in entertainment was very carefully thought of. I did extensive research and selected Fred after reading all of his rave reviews and meeting him in person. From the beginning of my planning process and until the end, he helped me plan my wedding reception from start to finish to make sure that we had a rockin' party.

The way Fred went over everything and helped me plan made the evening run so smoothly at our reception. He’s been doing this for 25 or 30 years…well you can really tell! He is very experienced and treated me as a client as if I were a million dollar client. I have already been recommending him and will always continue to because of all the weddings I’ve photographed and been at as a guest, he just blows everyone out of the water! Book Fred- he will make your wedding guests say, “That was the best wedding I’ve ever been to!”

Lewis Connell was the DJ for our wedding and he was nothing short of fantastic. From the planning process to the end of the reception he made everything simple, smooth, and fun. We were a little worried that not many people would dance at our reception due to a lot of older family members making up a large chunk of our guest list but Lewis was able to play music that every generation could enjoy and kept the energy level high the whole night. He did a wonderful job and we would recommend him in a heart beat to other couples.

Ryan Riesenbeck was the DJ provided to us by DJ Butlers and I am incredibly happy we were lucky enough to get him.
He kept things organized and moving...I didn't have to think about a thing during the reception (for once in this wedding process). He was lively, but not too talkative. Ryan understood the vibe of our reception and kept the party going. He even went above and beyond to move his equipment from the cocktail hour area to the reception area to ensure we had the perfect entrance.

We had the pleasure of having Lewis Connell DJ our wedding reception at Reception’s in Erlanger, KY. Lewis was absolutely fabulous! He met with us and my parents before the event and quickly picked up on the music vibe and type of atmosphere we were looking for. The night of, our party bus arrived at the reception late, but Lewis was right there at the door as we were getting off the bus all ready to go. Between the toasts, one of my aunts had a major fall and had to be taken to the hospital via ambulance. While this did interrupt the reception for a bit, Lewis kept the night flowing so perfectly. He paused between the toasts, but kept a perfect background music level that encouraged guests to continue eating and conversing (rather than become suspicious of what was going on with my aunt's table etc.) He was perfect! He accommodated all of our requests including a last-minute song request as a surprise for my husband. He was so professional and very easy to communicate with. We couldn’t have asked for a better night or a better DJ. Thank you DJ Butlers and Lewis for such a memorable night!

We hired DJ Butlers for our July outdoor wedding. Our DJ worked with us ahead of time to customize the playlist and incorporate music that we liked. He knew exactly what questions to ask, had access to ALL kinds of music for everyone's taste, and allowed us to submit requests close to the day of. On the wedding day his professionalism made sure that we could relax because we didn't have to worry about anything. He did a great job keeping us on a schedule and making sure we we were on time for all of the wedding festivities and dancing that we planned. His selection of songs showed that he knew what he was doing because the dance floor was never empty! We're so happy that we chose DJ Butlers!

We got married at The Grand Ballroom and Lewis Connell was our DJ. He was amazing! It didn't take long for Lewis to understand our personalities and what kind of vibe we wanted for our special day. He was considerate and helpful with my last minute music surprise for my husband to be and overall really wonderful to work with. Lewis delivered exactly what we wanted-a memorable, fun and non-stop dancing evening!

Ryan Riesenbeck did a fantastic job at our wedding. He was professional yet high energy and fun. He was very prepared and played all the songs we requested. I truly believe the music/DJ is a huge part of the reception and I couldn't imagine ours being any better. We highly recommend Ryan!

We had the privilege to work with Aaron on our big day and he was fantastic! We were able to meet with him before the wedding day to go over exactly what we wanted and didn't want played at the reception. At the reception Aaron did a great job keeping the activities moving along (dances, cake cutting, speeches, etc.) limiting a lot of the dead time you sometimes see at receptions. I would 100% recommend DJ Butler's to anyone getting married, and I would definitely recommend working with Aaron! My husband and I were extremely happy with their services.

Lewis Connell was our DJ. He was extremely professional and did everything we asked. The wedding and reception were super smooth and he made a fantastic master of ceremonies. He transitioned from song to song very well and played GREAT music that had all 250 of us dancing all night long!

Adam Miller was a fantastic DJ! He really knows how to mix up the music so the guests would come dance! He played all of our requested songs and there wasn't a song he played that we didn't like. He even took a request from my dad to play a song for him and my grandmother!

Brian Benton is THE BEST. We hired him for our wedding reception this past August at the Contemporary Arts Center. He really is fantastic - super professional and the best DJ. He kept the dance party going all night long and everyone was beyond impressed with him. Not only is he the best DJ, he is also the nicest guy. He helped us with things that weren't even in his job description at all! He kept the whole evening organized, on time, and most importantly super fun! He really took into account our likes and dislikes for music and definitely knows how to please a crowd!

Our DJ, Adam Miller, was awesome!!! I am so happy with his service. The owner, Fred is very nice and informative. Our DJ met up with us close to where we live so that we didn't have to drive far. We went over every song that we wanted/didn't want for the wedding. On the wedding day he arrived early and set up on time. The songs that we requested were all correctly played, at the right time. I am just so happy that we hired DJ Butlers! Thank you Fred and Adam!

I have nothing but awesome things to say about DJ Butlers, and particularly about my reception DJ, Aaron Smith. From the beginning of my wedding-planning process, Fred (the manager) was willing to work with me on my budget that I had planned for my reception and I ended up getting an awesome deal for my DJ. Fred was always willing to return my phone calls/ emails and I was never worried about my communication with him.

Aaron Smith was everything that I could have asked for in a DJ. In our pre-wedding meeting, Aaron was attentive to the details that I wanted for my reception and made them all happen exactly how I had asked. Aaron was very patient with my [out of control] wedding party and kept the evening flowing smoothly. People of all ages were dancing all night and my guests have not stopped telling me about how much fun they had - which I believe I owe to Aaron.

There was ONE issue with DJ Butlers, but I still gave them 5 stars for the way

We had Louis for our wedding 12/12/14. He was great!! He kept everyone going until we got there ( we ran a little over at the church because of pictures). He helped the night flow very smoothly, had everyone on the floor, and even though I had not picked a final song, when I came up to him that night with a request for a final song (Piano Man) - he said "No Problem" and made it happen!

Thanks Louis!!!

Fred Caldwell was the DJ for my daughters wedding. All I can say is that he was fabulous.
Made the night such a wonderful event. He was able to keep things flowing. We had a couple of delays that were our fault due to some things that were taking place with the family. He was flexible and able to compensate when necessary. This was my only daughter but if I had another wedding to plan I would hire Fred Caldwell at DJ Butlers.
Would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone !

DJ Butlers was amazing. I got a call the very next day after submitting a request for more information. They were quick to respond to questions or concerns and the DJ assigned to us, Brent Massie, was amazing. He was flexible in meeting with us, as my husband and I live over an hour away, and was very helpful in helping us with our reception music selection. I received many compliments on how great the music was during dinner and the dance floor stayed full through most of the night. Brent also did a great job in moving the reception along, fulfilling song requests, and giving out announcements on the fly. Our reception was awesome and we couldn't have done it without Brent Massie and DJ Butlers.

We had Fred DJ our wedding and he was awesome! DJ Butlers was very responsive with any questions we had and our 1+ hour meeting with Fred before the wedding was very organized in how everything was going to take place during the reception. Fred was very understanding of everything and offered some excellent ideas that really made our reception stand out.

He was excellent at the reception too keeping everything on schedule and keeping the dance floor full. Many of our guests told us that he was one of the better DJs they've seen. The DJ, in my opinion, is one of the most important wedding vendors. A bad one can absolutely ruin a wedding whereas a good one will keep everybody talking about the reception for years to come. I can't recommend Fred highly enough!

Hiring Brian Benton as our wedding DJ was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding day this past Saturday 8/30/14. My Husband and were pretty picky about the music we wanted playing at our wedding, we live in California so we have found a ton of new music that we wanted to share with our guests. Brian absolutely nailed it! There was nothing stiff or old about our music whatsoever. Brian kept people on the dance floor all night long. Even the people sitting down said the music was fantastic! Not only is he a musical genius, but he is so polite, professional, helpful, and well organized. Brian made sure we had zero stress during all of the transitions throughout the night. he worked with the caterer, and photographer to make sure everything was flowing smoothly; my Husband and I did not have to lift a finger. I would highly recommend Brian Benton to anyone and everyone. He is simply the best! Thank you Brian for making our big day so epic.

No words can adequately describe one of the most unique individuals I’ve ever come across. How do I describe our experience with Freddie? Well, if you get the chance to meet with him, you’ll find out! Like watching a gifted artist painting his latest masterpiece, Freddie composes a flow, a detailed outline for what will undoubtedly be one of the most important evenings of your life. By the end of your meeting you’ll be handed a copy of his scribbling, circling, and time-stamped blueprint for the big day! I knew Freddie was perfection when I told him, “Absolutely no YMCA or electric slide!” Without missing a beat (haha, get it? J) he writes in enormous letters . . . CONEY, NO CHEESE! I fell in love right then. And as far as the rest of the love story between The Atkins and Freddie Caldwell . . . let’s just say it ends with a bang! The footage from our handycam proves it!! Non-stop, floor-shaking, fist-pumping fun. Absolutely the best! To our boi Freddie “DJ” Caldwell –Thank you for being a musical genius and creating the mix for “Crispy Cutz 2014” featuring reggae, jazz, and NAKED MUSIC at the Taft Museum of Art!!!

Lewis Connell was our DJ for my wedding back in August. He was by far the best DJ i have ever had the pleasure of working with! Not only was his music amazing he was extremely helpful in the planning process. I was a very stressed bride and my mind was EVERYWHERE he kept me on schedule and made sure i was not overwhelmed. My wedding went a little faster than planned and Lewis came to our rescue starting the reception music earlier than he anticipated which i am sure was extremely stressful for him but he was very calm and professional! I would absolutely rebook with Lewis Connell and recommend him to any of my friends or family!!

Fred Caldwell was our DJ and we LOVED him! The party went all night and there was always a crowd on the dance floor! He was so wonderful to work with. He met with us the week before the wedding to get to know us and ensure he was going to meet our needs/requests for music--and he did! It was fabulous! Everyone was asking us who we used for a DJ!

My daughter, her grandmother and I attended our first bridal show shortly after her boyfriend proposed. We were a bit overwhelmed by the many vendors passing out their business cards. Just as I, however, wouldn't choose a caterer without first testing the cuisine, I wouldn't choose a DJ without seeing him first in action. The only DJ in the room displaying his talents was Fred of DJ Butlers. I looked over and he was teaching moms, daughters and grandmothers his "patented" moves. After a lengthy discussion, we were sold by Fred's services and contracted with him the next day. Almost a year later, last Saturday night we experienced Fred in action, only this time for our daughter's wedding reception. He did not disappoint and we are so very grateful the evening went so well. It was truly magical! Thank you, Fred, for an awesome job!!

I've got to say that having Fred Caldwell from "Music By Request" DJ Butlers be our DJ for our wedding reception at the Great American Ballpark was probably the best decision my husband and I made during the whole planning process. He did a great job entertaining our guests during the cocktail hour, and he kept the party moving along so we could spend more time dancing at the end. They are great when it comes to customizing your day. The only thing I was worried about during the planning process was not hearing back from our DJ until about 10 days out from our wedding day... BUT there was no need to worry! They had everything under control. Another tip: take advice from the DJ when given.. they know what they are talking about! :) Oh, and our photographer had to leave early, and we noticed that Fred pulled out his iPhone and took video and pics for us throughout the rest of the night (when he saw that nobody else was taking pictures). It was great to see he had our backs!

DJ Butlers was awesome! Our DJ, Rhett, made sure the whole night ran smoothly. The music was awesome, the sound was perfect! Rhett met with us ahead of time to iron out kinks, offered to help in any way needed, and made sure that everyone was ready to go when we walked in to be introduced. He definitely kept the party moving and everyone had a good time! We had people on the dance floor until the end of the night, and I attribute that to the awesome DJ! Thank you for your services, and we will be recommending you in the future! :)

Phenomenal! Adam was our DJ and he was great! Really took the time to understand what kind of music we wanted. I had a whole list and lost it!…but he played everything we wanted to hear and kept the dance floor packed all night. We made the whole evening go so smoothly. He has a great personality and even got out on the dance floor and taught a dance! He looked very professional but was a blast to have at the wedding!

He really listened to what we wanted and did an even better job than I could have imagined! The music selection was great and many of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to! He even accommodated a surprise guest flash-mob and had everyone on the dance floor from a 1 year old guest to my 92 year old grandma! I would highly recommend Brent and DJ Butlers!

My husband and I were living in Grand Rapids, Michigan and planning our wedding in Cincinnati, Ohio – anyone who has planned a wedding from afar knows the challenges that come with a 6 hour drive. Each visit to Cincinnati needed to be time well spent and our meeting with DJ Butlers did not disappoint!

We found DJ Butlers from theKnot.com and were immediately impressed! They were incredibly responsive to us, returning emails or phone calls promptly. They also were flexible with meeting times – we always felt as though we were their best and most important clients!

We worked with Fred Caldwell – he was our DJ for our reception. During our planning appointment, Fred took us step by step of how the evening would proceed. He took detailed notes, capturing everything from how to introduce our families - to including special notations about us (my husband and I each have an Irish Twin, who happened to be our best man and maid of honor).

Fred wrote words that described our vision: elegant, sophisticated, evening with friends and family, romantic and timeless. He did this to ensure he put together an event that was reflective of what Eugene and I wanted for our reception. Fred took our input and made terrific suggestions. Honestly, after the hour planning appointment, I had no worries.

The evening went flawlessly – just as Fred had promised. All of our guests raved about what a wonderful job our DJ did, truly set the mood for the entire evening!

We highly recommend DJ Butlers for any occasion you are planning – they will truly deliver on the vision you have!

Julie (Richey) and Eugene Talbot, Wedding October 1st, 2011.

The Pros:
Responsiveness – promptly returned emails and voicemails.
1 hour planning appointment – very thorough.
Creating a CD Mix – I thought this was silly at first, but now my husband and I listen to special songs of our reception (first dance, father/mother dances, songs we wanted included) and reminisce of that evening. WE LOVE THIS!
Presentation – Fred came in a fine tuxedo and equipment was top notch!
THEY LISTEN – it was OUR event, never felt like Fred had his own agenda. He was there to compliment the evening.
Fairly Priced – for a perfect evening of music and dancing, price was very fair!
Cooperative – Fred communicated throughout the evening with the restaurant’s manager – they worked together, adjusting scheduling, etc to ensure everything went flawlessly.

The Cons:
Absolutely NONE!!!

I used "Music By Request" DJ Butlers for my 9/9/11 wedding. Our DJ was Fred Caldwell. Fred did a great job, and I highly recommend him. We could tell from the first time we met him that he takes his job very seriously and really enjoys it. Prior to our wedding, he spent an entire evening with us going through every little detail of our wedding. He made a lot of suggestions that we hadn't even thought of. (For example: 1 - He suggested that we use nicknames when we introduce the wedding party. It helped make the wedding more fun and memorable. 2 - He helped suggest specific songs for parts of the wedding where we weren't sure what song to use. 3 - He suggested that we take a rose out to each of our mothers during the ceremony and present it to them. This was a nice touch, and our moms both enjoyed it.) Fred also made sure that the music he played was what we wanted. He did a great job of getting the crowd involved, without making anyone feel uncomfortable. He also did a great job of making sure everything stayed on track.

Fred made sure our wedding went exactly how we wanted. We were able to relax and enjoy the night since he had everything under control. Fred is very passionate about his job, and it shows. We received a lot of compliments about him. Great job, Fred!

Our DJ was Ryan Schwartz and he came highly recommended from a friend. He kept all of our guests entertained and made sure the dance floor was full all night. Our wedding party was always taken care of and Ryan made sure everyone's glass was full. I have seen DJs butcher the names of those in the wedding party when announcing, but the DJ Butlers write everything out phonetically and they make sure not to mispronounce a guests name. Remarkable service and I will recommend them to everyone I know.

Fred was the DJ at my wedding in Oxford, Ohio, and he did a fantastic job. I went outside to have a cigar about 2 hours into the reception and I got a compliment from all four other guys outside about our DJ. Throughout all of the meetings before the wedding, Fred was always very open to ideas, and he was also very good about letting us know what would work, what might work, and what probably wouldn't work, but he was never forceful about his opinion. It was always our day. He would say he wanted to see our "fantastic face", meaning if we weren't excited about an idea then it was no longer an idea. He was also able to change in the middle of the event, because we changed our mind about one aspect and we told him, and that part was done. I would 100% recommend him and his company to anyone looking for a DJ in the area.

Fred Caldwell was the DJ for our daughter's wedding on 9/24/2011 and he was fabulous. From our first meeting to the meeting he held the day before the wedding he delivered everything he promised. He was on time, kept everything on schedule and played the music we requested. He balanced keeping the reception on schedule and was a lot of fun. I received a number of complements from our guests. I would definitely recommend DJ Butlers for your wedding. If Fred is available, take him. Thanks again for making our daughter's wedding nothing but perfect.

I used Brian Benton from DJ Butlers, and he was the best DJ! He played everything that I wanted, when I wanted, and played requests from my friends. It was fun and classy - just how I wanted. I would recommend DJ Butlers, but especially Brian Benton. Thanks, Brian!

Aaron Burkhardt was our Master of service. Aaron has been a friend of the family for YEARS!! I was a little hesitant on having him DJ my wedding because I didn't want him to slack off since I have known him for a long time. He was way more professional than I could have dreamed. He worked very hard, played the best music, and all of the guests were raving about how much fun they had. He made the wedding reception perfect and memorable. He checked with us to make sure everything was going good and if we wanted a few more minutes to do something, that was fine. He would play music until we were ready. If everyone in his company is half as good as he is, then WOW, they sure hit the jackpot!!! Thanks DJ Butlers and Aaron!!! I would highly reccommend them!!

Brian was our DJ at our wedding and he rocks!!! My husband and I really liked his skills as an emcee and DJ as well as his personality. Before we signed the contract, he came to us and met us to discuss things we were concerned about. We had a great feeling right at that meeting and we were right. He gave us ideas and talked about his role, flow of things, etc. We picked out music over the next couple of months to prepare and when the wedding got closer, he called us first. We met with him and he was very thorough in the pronunciation of my family’s names (Filipino) along with going over the music. He stuck to the list of songs we gave him for our reception, etc.(and added a few ones which jibed with the mood we wanted for our wedding). He did not play things from our Do-Not-Play list, kept everything flowing right at schedule and worked the crowd well keeping the dance floor packed. He also served us drinks before our entrance, joined the crowd at one point leading the line dancing while still mindful of his duties as a DJ, etc. He really was great, professional, kind and polite. He also gave us cd’s of the music at our reception as souvenir, which was a great keepsake. During, immediately after, and now even months after our wedding, many of our guests have said our DJ and the music was great, and how they wish he was their DJ at the wedding. The music/DJ makes or break a reception, and a lot of our guests told us repeatedly they enjoyed our wedding immensely. Brian is one of our favorite vendors and is highly recommended by us!!

We hired Brennan Scanlon form DJ Butlers. He was everything we asked for. We knew when we met that our personalities were similar so we simply told him to do what he would have wanted for his own wedding. Worked like a charm. Not cheesy at all, yet was very engaging. had the crowd on the dance floor in no time! Everything was timed perfectly and Brennan was extremely professional and efficient.

Our DJ was okay I mean nothing that he did wasn't something that couldn't be fixed, he played a few songs that were wrong but all he did was turn off the wrong song and put the right song on. Other than that he was great he got guest on the floor dancing and everyone had a great time.

We used Brennan from DJ Butlers and he was phenomenal. He is 100% a class act-my favorite thing about him is that he doens't use cheesey effects, or try to take over the event...he played all of the music that we requested, kept the event on track and most importantly he really knew how to read the dance floor and keep the party going.

He did my sister's wedding 5 years back and he was equally amazing. Highly recommended!

For the music, I had Aaron Burkhardt from DJ Butlers - he was AWESOME, an absolute professional, i went many other weddings this year and he was by far the best i've seen - he did not have a set play list like most dj's - he played to how the guests were moving...which I totally loved - he also sits down with you a week before to get your dos/donts of what to play!

We hired Andrew Massie of DJ Butlers to be the DJ at our wedding. He was recommended to us by a family friend after they attended a fun wedding reception, and we are so glad we listened. Andrew was willing to follow all of our requests and checked in with us throughout the evening to make sure we were pleased with everything. The reception was a huge success thanks to him. Our guests danced the entire night and said they had a lot of fun. Andrew was very easy to contact before the wedding, by both email and phone. He kept the music at a reasonable volume, and didn't try to steal the show like so many DJ's I have experienced. The price set by DJ Butlers seemed to be very comparable to surrounding DJ companies, but the service was outstanding.

My husband and I met Tony Frambes at the bridal convention in Cincinnati two summers before our wedding day... and we booked him almost immediately! His knowledge of wedding receptions, fun music selections, musicality in general, as well as technical stereo equipment and his outgoing personality made us feel so comfortable and confident in his abilities that we didn't even research another dj service! He sent us some awesome reception music choices to plan out all the details and create the "music mood" for the night, and when we met with him a month before the big day, he was so knowledgeable about timing and planning all the events for the evening. He took all of our requests for "Must Plays" and "Do Not Plays" and even made some fun suggestions! We had a blast dancing with our friends and family on our wedding night, and the party was such a blast! The timing of events went so smoothly, and he was an excellent master of ceremonies. We continue to hear that the music choices were "awesome" and that the party was an excellent mix of Top 40 hits and fun classic dance songs. I highly suggest any bride to book Tony for an awesome wedding reception - it truly was the time of our lives!

By having a wedding on a Friday, we saved nearly $500. They were extremely professional and catered to exactly what I wanted, down to 15 minute increments of the night. Our DJ made sure that everyone in the wedding was at the right place at the right time and even went so far as to make sure that we were comfortable.

We used DJ Butlers for our entertainment at our reception I would highly recommend them. Matt Woods was our DJ and he did exceptional work. From start to finish the company held a high level of professionalism. Matt was very detailed down to the minute in planning out our reception entertainment and really cared about what we wanted for our day.

Our DJ was GREAT! From the first visit we made to the company, to the planning day with our DJ to the actual wedding reception, we were treated so well and had everything that we requested. Our DJ new how to read the crowd and made sure that we were okay with all the decision he made. Way to go DJ Butlers!

Our DJ was very nice, professional, appropriate, and did what we wanted! He actually went out and bought several of the more obscure songs that we requested, and let us give him a CD with some that we already had. He did our ceremony and reception music, and there was not a single hitch with the timing, order, or any part of it! I would recommend them to anyone!

I was so thrilled to be able to book Brian Benton with the DJ Butlers for my wedding! I met him at a bridal show and he really sold me with his personality. He was very professional and energetic which got the guests excited about participating in the reception. He not only acted as DJ, but MC for the night-taking care of all the little details so I didn't have to worry about them. He definitely went above and beyond what I expected a DJ to do and he was a lot of fun to work with!

We LOVED using Aaron Smith with Music By Request. Our wedding had about 200 people, ranging from babies, grandparents, people in their twenties, and families. Aaron asked us to choose songs for all of the formal events, and we made sure that we all understood the timeline for the evening. For the open dancing portion, Aaron asked us if we had any specific music requests. Although my groom and I had a few favorite songs, we emphasized that we wanted to leave it to Aaron to keep the fun on the dance floor. That's exactly what we got!! Aaron played our requests, and he mixed up old and new songs. I was finding all kinds of people on the dance floor that I didn't expect to see out there. There wasn't a dull moment to the evening. My parents and guests are still talking about how much fun they had, and that means the world to me! Aaron has a great DJ voice and was very professional as well. He was willing to talk about every idea that we had. Reasonably priced. We loved our wedding and Aaron played a huge part in making that happen! I have heard that all of the DJs at Music By Request are just as good, but I can vouch personally for Aaron!

My now husband was very worried about hiring a DJ. We are almost 40, and he was worried we would end up with someone who was in their early 20s who would be super cheesey and play a bunch of current stuff that none of our guests would know.

And then we found Fred and DJ Butlers. He was just perfect! He was more of a master of ceremonies of the reception than a DJ. I had never thought about that approach, but it really worked for us. He respected our wishes and kept things classy and understated.

Plus, he did a great job of mixing up the music. I was amazed at how many people told me after the wedding how much they enjoyed the music and the dancing. He kept people on the dance floor for hours. I saw people dance at our wedding that I have never seen dance before.

Lewis Connell

Lewis Connell with DJ Butlers was amazing. We were getting married on Black Friday and our previous DJ cancelled on us a month before our big day. Luckily we found Lewis and he was available. I was shocked and so happy we found someone, I was desperate!
He was very easy to correspond via email. We set up a meeting and helped walk me through every step. We went over music taste and what we didn't want at all! He had suggestions when I was stuck and unsure.
During the wedding he was amazing and kept everyone on track! I wanted things to go at a quicker pace as to get to the dancing and he made sure of that! His personality was very well suited for a celebration. So fun and professional at the same time!
I had several friends and family say how they enjoyed him and the music selection. My cousin even wants to book him for her up coming wedding!
Overall you can't go wrong with Lewis!

Our DJ Aaron was really awesome! We couldn't meet in person, but he was fine doing a phone call before the big day. He had never done music for a ceremony at our location, but it went very well! He never had any dead spots during the reception, and people were out dancing all night! I wish he had played some of the songs I requested while I was in the room, and played some more jazz music during dinner (it sounded a lot like 80's ballad/some odd stuff I wouldn't have picked), but I think he was trying to play for our older crowd. But, the reception music was really good! He was really nice and professional, and took requests!

Lewis was our DJ from DJ Butlers and he was great. I gave him a list of songs (mostly indie rock) to play at the cocktail hour and dinner and he found them all and played them. After worrying that I would have to provide something, because they were somewhat atypical, I was relieved to learn he had got them all. He did a great job getting people on the dance floor and made sure to ask us when we wanted to do something. Wedding Receptions can be really busy, even with a small wedding. Lewis made sure to ask us when we were ready to do cake, our first dance, etc. during the reception before we had to ask him. More than a few guests commented saying he was an awesome DJ. Highly Recommended.

Aarond Burkhardt was the DJ for our wedding. He is great. We planned the wedding from Chicago and we actually did our pre-wedding meeting via Skype! He is so organized and really helped us with our music selection. And he can totally read the crowd. The first couple of songs NO ONE was sitting down. It was so much fun!
