    Amazing! Best dj and mc ever!

    Jeff from RTR was AMAZING!! Literally the best DJ ever and a huge part of making our wedding such a success! He kept the party going all night and we had so many compliments from family and friends for him!! The dance floor was full the entire night and it was such a blast! Jeff was so great to work with leading up to the wedding as well. He was so organized and helpful in planning the timeline for our reception. I cannot say enough good things about him and RTR in general and would totally recommend them!! We also got our photo booth from RTR and it was such a hit and we absolutely love our memory book with all of the pics from our guests!!

    Book them now

    Stop your search now and BOOK THEM! While they may be a little higher priced than some other entertainment companies, they are the perfect example of getting what you pay for. We met with several companies to hire for our wedding, and from the first conversation regarding what we were looking for and the details of what RTR offered, we knew they were the route we wanted to go. I don’t say this lightly when I say that Zach and his team are legitimately made for this industry. They are professional, charismatic, and really just a lot of fun! Zach and his team got the party started and it never stopped. Every time the dance floor started dwindling down (we got married on the most beautiful summer day and people were going outside to enjoy the seriously perfect weather), RTR was able to get people back on the dance floor and keep everyone enjoying their time. Zach did a great job from the beginning of planning, through checking in with us throughout the night to see if we needed anything or to adjust timelines as needed. I had so many guests telling me how great they were. Truly a phenomenal company that I would recommend over and over.

    Best DJ in Cleveland!

    Look no further for the BEST wedding DJs in Cleveland! Zach, Jeff, and DJ Dazl were absolutely lovely to work with! From our first planning sessions, they listened to our input and provided incredible guidance on our ceremony sound, cocktail hour music, as well as lighting and music for our rocking reception. I heard so many compliments about the music the whole evening! It made our little nerd hearts happy to hear little bits from Lord of the Rings and Star Wars throughout our celebration. In particular, Jeff Pekarcik took excellent care of us, making sure to secure our champagne for toasts and checking in with everyone for song requests. I'm sure there are other things that happened behind the scenes that Jeff smoothed out, because he is just that kind of professional and lovely person. Thank you again to the whole staff at Raise the Roof Entertainment for helping us celebrate our wedding! Anyone would be lucky to hire them for their wedding or special event!

    Absolutely amazing DJs

    Raise the Roof is truly the BEST! Jeff and Rob are incredible DJs who kept the party going all night long! The entire night they had all ages on the dance floor up until 11pm when our reception ended! The music was spot on and there wasn't one person sitting in their seat all night! Truly a phenomenal company with the BEST DJs. After our wedding ended we all went up to the rooftop to dance until 2am and Jeff and Rob came with us! Such fun people!
    If you're thinking about booking them 100% do it! You wont regret it and your guests will be so so happy!

    Words cannot even begin to express how amazingly talented Jeff and his team were and are! Beyond any expectations!! Truly. Jeff made our daughter's wedding celebration so fun and lively! He perfectly played off the amazing vibe of our crazy fun and silly friends! He knew exactly what to say and when. His timing and delivery was spot on. He was caring, sentimental, fun, articulate and silly at times. We never left the dance floor! Blew off the Roof should be you new name or What Roof? No limits!

    Best DJ in Ohio

    Zach Feist is the best DJ in Cleveland! I am a corporate event planner and work with tons of vendors, but I have never seen someone keep the dance floor going so well! I came across Zach because the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recommended to me.

    Kept the energy high all night long!

    Jeff, Alfredo, and Austin were the absolute BEST at keeping the energy high throughout our entire wedding! Our guests were on the dance floor all night long! They made planning easy with their flexible schedules, and offered helpful suggestions when needed to bring our vision to life. Can’t recommend these guys enough!

    Terrific and Professional

    We were so happy with our DJ from RTR - Rob. He did a terrific job and kept a full dance floor the whole reception. Rob was very helpful in planning, too, providing us advice on music and timing based on our goals for the reception. We've seen them at other weddings and have been impressed. Also a great MC. We used RTR for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Highly recommend!

    Amazing!

    Raise the Roof was a 10/10!!! Hands down they were our favorite vendor for our wedding. Zach knows how to match the style / energy that you ask for 100%. He read the room throughout the whole night, knows how to get people on the dance floor, and really helps you coordinate the whole night by being the MC. We had a few last minute meetings with him before our event, he was incredibly detail oriented and never made us feel like we were a bother or over the top. We also used raise the roof for their photo booth which was a HUGE HIT at our wedding. Especially if you have some young kids coming to your wedding, it’s a great way to entertain lots of people throughout the night. We couldn’t recommend RTR (and Zach!!!) more!

    Highly recommend

    Zach was such an amazing emcee and DJ for our wedding. He did such a great job checking on us throughout the night and keeping us updated on timing and what was occurring. The touchpoints leading up to the wedding were super helpful to lay out our plan. The dance floor was packed the whole night and we got so many compliments on the music. Thanks again for such a great night.

    The Best DJ in Cleveland

    Zach and the rest of the team at Raise the Roof helped make our wedding absolutely perfect. Zach was so easy to work with and brought an excitement to coordinating the night's festivities that rivaled our own. We had so much fun just talking to Zach and planning our day in the year leading up to the wedding, so we had no worries that he was going to be amazing. Zach got to know us and really personalized our experience, and he met every one of our requests. We also appreciated the attention to detail, including making sure he had the pronunciation right for the names of all of our family and wedding party.

    The difference between a true DJ and someone just playing a playlist is that the dancefloor mood was at perfect levels throughout the night. The music was seamless and culminated in the most epic finale of all time.

    Additionally, the lighting Raise the Roof provided looked amazing and the photo booth was a huge hit!

    Zach Exceeded Expectations in Every Way!

    Zach and his team did an exceptional job. They provided the pre-ceremony music for the guests, the music for the ceremony, music for the cocktail hour held outside, dinner music and then kept the party moving throughout the reception - all done with flawless music selections and timing. Zach was professional in every interaction, always responded quickly to any requests and did a wonderful job with everything. I highly recommend Zach and team.

    Zach was incredible!

    Zach was incredible! He and Reggie were the perfect MCs for the night. Zach not only had the dance floor going the whole night but listened intently to our wishes for the evening and seamlessly helped transition them. Notably when our balloon drop still had a few balloons stuck in the net Zach was prepared and had a solution right there to pop the remaining balloons out to help our guests get the full effect. He communicated perfectly with my husband and I throughout the night to make sure we were happy and on board with each stage of the evening. Cannot recommend Zach highly enough!

    All star team

    Zach & his team did an amazing job from start to finish with our recent wedding! Zach was so helpful and responded quickly when we had questions which is so important in normal times but doubly so during covid times. They were able to find every random song we requested from the Oktoberfest toast song to Kpop classics. Song transitions were so smooth. Everything was beautiful and the night flowed perfectly. Our guests had a great time and the dance floor stayed full. We absolutely loved the lighting and name projection on the wall. We would 100% recommend them for your wedding or party. I don't think we could have planned the day without them! Thank you so much for everything!!

    Fantastic service, great communication and amazing night!

    The team at Raise the Roof is outstanding, there are many vendors out there to meet with, but after we meet with Zach, Rob, and Jeff we felt assured they had all facets handled. RTR are true professionals with modern equipment, great client communication, and come our wedding day they exceeded our expectations. We recommended that you stop searching and cross your fingers that they have your date available! Thank you, RTR team!

    Amazing team -- above and beyond to make it a very special evening

    Zach and RIchard created an incredible wedding entertainment experience for us and our guests. Not only did they keep everyone up and dancing, they found small ways to make the event special in ways only we'd notice -- like finding out some of our favorite non-party songs and playing them in the background throughout the night. Or making a Carrie & David light sign that only showed up after dark at the venue. Or seeing us the next day at Public Square, remembering our first dance song and playing it for us! Above and beyond!

    Raise The Roof Entertainment was Incredible to work with!

    Rob, Todd & Aaron with Raise the Roof were awesome to work with! They made our wedding night incredibly special, kept the party going, but also added an intimate & romantic touch at just the right time throughout the evening. Photo Booth was awesome, we used it as our guest book and the picture quality is unreal! I highly recommend these guys for your wedding or special event!

    Fun Guys with Seamless Service

    We booked Raise the Roof entertainment for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception. We worked with Zach on all the big and small details and he was always responsive and fun to talk to! On the big day, we had both Zach and Jeff there to care of the Ceremony music and sound and then transitioned to the Reception seamlessly. We did not have any sound or technical issues the entire time. My Husband and I provided Zach a couple playlists of music that we wanted to hear throughout the night and Zach and Jeff made sure they pulled from that list but also were savvy enough to read the crowd and play songs they thought would keep the party going! They use a mixer, so the songs just keep going all night, there is never a pause or break in the music. Beyond managing the sound and music of the entire event, Zach and Jeff also made sure to learn what my preferred drink was and kept the drinks full throughout the night! We highly recommend Raise the Roof for any event!

    Flexible and Customer-Oriented, Excellent Service

    Our experience with RTR began with meeting Zach for our planning session and initial consultation for our wedding reception. We received a warm greeting with a beverage and a relaxed atmosphere. Zach is such a genuinely nice person and took the time to answer all of our questions and gave us a complete overview of how the night would go - down to the minute! This greatly alleviated some stress from an already stressed-out engaged couple; not having to worry about any of the music, timing, etc. We were in touch with RTR/Zach many times via email/phone leading up to the big day, and we were able to change our music plan as needed via Google Doc (great feature!). Zach and Jeff did a phenomenal job at our wedding reception and we have received countless compliments on their job well-done. Zach even made sure that we had drinks in our hand if we wanted them! The dance floor was packed the WHOLE night, and this is due to their strong work. If you're in need of a DJ, these are your people! 15/10 would recommend.

    Best we’ve ever had!

    Raise the Roof Entertainment DJ’ed for our wedding reception. From our first meeting to the wedding night, it was a seamless and fun process working with their team. Our entertainment was one of the most important things to us for our wedding day, as our main priority was for our guests to have a great time. For being the most important, it was the least of our worries. We were able to trust Rob and his team based on their detailed and organized process for ensuring your event goes as planned and is exactly what you want. Rob and his team kept our wedding on time, helped us stayed relaxed, and made what could be a stressful process fun and enjoyable.

    Post wedding, we received so many compliments on our music and the entertainment. Many of our guests said our wedding was one of the most fun weddings they have ever been to. RTR kept the energy up and the dance floor full ALL night. Thanks to RTR, our guests had a great time (goal achieved), and we had the best wedding ever.

    I highly recommend RTR for any event. They are professional, they listen to your needs, and they are enjoyable to work with.

    Love these guys!!!

    These guys were my favorite vendor for our wedding day. We had Zach and Rob take care of us and they made sure we had a great time. They were super thorough during the run through meeting, very reachable if we had any questions, and just fun guys to be around. They played great music and made sure everyone was sticking to their schedule as well as taking care of us as the bride and groom so we were able to relax and enjoy our day. Definitely recommend these guys and if we ever need their services again we will definitely contact them!

    RTR entertainment is everything you could ask for!

    Rob took a ton of stress off us by having great suggestions, taking our ideas and seamlessly intertwining the two. Perfect sound during the ceremony and a dance floor that was energized all night. Our guests were raving weeks after about how much fun our wedding was. RTR was definitely a major reason for that. They also have a ton of equipment and great staff to make every last detail perfect!

    Great service from Zach and Jeff at RTR

    My husband and I originally planned to not have dancing at our wedding. Then we changed our minds--about five weeks before the event. We're very happy we ended up engaging Raise the Roof (RTR), specifically Zach and Jeff. They were super easy to work with, did a great job, and were just really nice guys! Our guests danced nonstop for more than two hours.

    Rob and the RTR team were one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding. Rob was patient, kind, accommodating, compassionate and had our complete best interest at heart. We used not only his DJ'ing services but booked the photo booth and 4 string quartet. Absolute top notch service. There was an issue that we had in the evening with a separate vendor and Rob was our best advocate and reassured us to just let the behavior go and enjoy our special day. If you book RTR Entertainment you will not be sorry.

    Raise the Roof Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Autumn! Thank you for the kind note. Working with you and Kevin to bring your vision to life was such a pleasure for our team! I think the unique touches that you thought of made for a very special experience for the two of you as well as your guests! Best wishes to the two of you :) -Rob
