    Went above and beyond.

    I could not recommend The Music Place more. Not only was music amazing, but our DJ went above and beyond helping my husband navigate the day while I was under the weather. He modified the timeline and events as needed for me to be able to participate. I couldn’t be more thankful for choosing The Music Place and having Jeff as our DJ.

    September Celebration Jordan Year!

    There aren't enough adjectives to describe the incredible job Blake does. Not only did we have a Sunday wedding but we didn't have a ton of guests and you would have thought you were at the party of the year thanks to DJ Sticky Boots. He controlled the vibe and played all the hit songs to get the people going. We appreciated our pre-wedding meetings with Blake and all we told him was that we trust him on what he plays. Blake didn't let us down whatsoever. He played off the speeches well, was fun, energetic, funny, and so kind to everyone who went up to him requesting songs throughout the night. DJ Sticky Boots is the absolute best and we are so grateful of all he did to prep for our wedding; it truly was a dream!!

    Amazing DJ!

    Blake (AKA Sticky Boots) was amazing! He kept the wedding bumping all night! I don't think the dance floor was less than full capacity for more than a second. Blake did a great job of following all of my requests as the bride and was SO fun to work with. To make sure the dance floor is amazing at your wedding- go with sticky boots!

    Amazing Experience

    Blake was an amazing DJ/Host on our wedding day. His communication throughout the process leading up to the wedding was helpful and if we had questions he responded quickly. Our day was so magical from the ceremony music to the reception with music and announcing things. The dance floor was full our entire night and we got so many compliments from people about how much they loved the DJ and playlist! Would highly recommend Blake for any event!

    Amazing Service

    Blake was amazing. He kept our party going strong while we took photos. He was super flexible offered great suggestions and made every effort to provide the music we requested even if he didn't have it already. Having a DJ to help time the ceremony and reception was so helpful! I highly recommend. Great price for great service!

    Organized and amazing

    DJ sticky boots went above and beyond for our wedding. He had three different locations throughout the night that he had to play music at and never missed a beat on playing the music and being very organized. With so many elements to plan for a wedding, I never had to worry about the music and it was such a relief. 10/10!!

    Amazing DJ, Highly recommend

    Professional and organized during our planning ahead of our wedding. His structure helped us to plan effectively while still making our wedding unique. The day of our wedding we had some change ups and he was agile at getting adjustments made. He was great at reading the guests and playing an amazing set of music which kept our guests on the dance floor. It was an absolute pleasure having him as part of our day.

    This is the DJ to choose!

    DJ Sticky Boots was awesome! He worked with us to craft a fantastic playlist throughout the reception and come up with great introductions for us and our wedding party. He helped us with a few special requests for music and recognizing one of our friend’s birthdays, and our final dance was amazing. If you want a top flight DJ for your event look no further.

    Intentional & heartfelt

    I can’t say enough good things about Blake! From start to finish my wedding was absolutely beautiful and the music really made the day. The ceremony music was absolutely beautiful and my parents couldn’t stop talking about how easy everything flowed between songs as people were sitting, to bridal party music, to me walking down the aisle, and to my husband and I making our exit! Our reception was AMAZING! Blake made our entrances SO MUCH FUN! A member of our bridal party was a bit more shy than others and it was so much to hear that he was actually dancing while entering the reception hall. Likewise, Blake made sure that our walk in music was full of life and every second was intentional. For our parent dances, Blake cut the songs down so the most meaningful parts of the songs were present and we were able to complete all 3 dances in a reasonable amount of time. My family loves to dance and they kept Blake busy all night long! My uncle raves about Blake when he found out he had a 90’s Chicago rap song on vinyl instead of the computer. My whole family enjoyed the entire mix that Blake had put together for our wedding and needless to say we tore up the dance floor! I cannot recommend Blake & The Music Place enough. They catered to our every need and made sure our day was exactly what we wanted and more. From multiple meetings and phone calls to the kindest emails, The Music Place, and Blake especially, are the most professional and kindhearted individuals who are passionate about their field. Thank you Blake for making our day so so wonderful!

    SO amazing!

    I cannot recommend Blake (DJ Sticky Boots) from The Music Place enough!! From the moment he started playing music at our wedding, our dance floor was absolutely packed. He was so attentive to what genre's the crowd was responding well to and kept the party going all night...literally. At the end of the night all 300 people at my wedding were chanting "One more song!" because we didn't want the dancing to end! He also made the night so smooth with all of his announcements and kept everyone up to date on what was happening. Run, don't walk, to hire Blake if you're looking for an amazing night of music and dancing at any event!

    On the hunt for a DJ that will make sure your day goes as perfect as you want it to be? These are your guys! They’re were AMAZING! They very consistent with checking in & sending us things/ideas to help with not just the music details but others things for the wedding as well. They even helped us plan out the night! The dance floor was FULL & everyone loved the playlist that they let YOU help create! Along with checking in personally throughout your special night, to make sure everything is going how you want! I couldn’t have asked for more easy-going, kind, & fun gentlemen to help make our day perfect. I promise, THESE ARE YOUR GUYS!!

    The Music Place's reply:

    Wow, thanks a million Hannah! Having amazing couples that are organized, open to ideas, and most of all ready to have FUN makes our job easy. You and Seth 100% fit that description and more! DJ Iceberg (Jeff) raved about working with you two and your musical vision, and we both thoroughly enjoyed helping you to plan in the months leading up to the big day. Jeff also knew you and your guests wanted to DANCE, and he had a blast making that happen when the big day finally came! We really appreciate you choosing us as your DJ company and wish you and Seth all.the.things. in the future! - Blake

    Best Wedding DJ

    Blake is the perfect wedding vendor, he goes above and beyond to support his clients while involving them in the process and making it FUN! We are so grateful for all the amazing work he put into our special day!

    The Music Place's reply:

    My final wedding of the season, and you and your crew knocked it out of the park, Lexi! You all crushed FOUR whole hours of dancing, and with all that big energy, I bet you could've gone two more, haha. Thank you so much for your kind words and for making us part of your super-talented vendor team! It was awesome to see your vision come to life and to share in the excitement of you and Adam's celebration. Have an amazing holiday season, and all my best in 2022 and way beyond! - Blake

    Exactly what we wanted!

    Blake did a phenomenal job. Almoar a week after the wedding and I'm still getting compliments about how good our DJ was. He was helpful and met every expectation, then exceeded them.
    It was the exact evening we wanted and The Music Place was a huge part of that success.

    Wedding DJ

    I had DJ Sticky Boots perform DJ services for my wedding a week and a half ago. Blake was very organized and showed true professionalism and made sure our evening went smoothly. I highly recommended DJ Sticky Boots or another DJ for The Music Place.

    The Music Place's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Nick! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and Evelyn, and everything about your event was so well thought out from the ceremony through the entire reception. I loved how you guys rocked out 'til the very end -- and on a Sunday no less! It was an honor to be a part of your awesome day! - Blake

    Best DJ For the Job!!

    Blake (DJ StickyBoots) and The Music Place team are hands down the best wedding DJ's in the area! They do not overbear you with planning, but more guide you through the process.

    We did not want your typical wedding DJ and Music and Blake knew that, and planned accordingly. We had countless people at the wedding come up to us and compliment his professionalism and the way he adapted to the temperature in the room (which with our crowd was 90% all out party!). In the end, it was an all out party when we wanted it to be and a nice contemporary evening early on when we wanted it to be as well.

    There is no better value or quality you will find than this place! Thank you so much again!!

    The Music Place's reply:

    "All-out party" is right, my friend! I loved you and Maddi's attention to detail in your planning process and the passion of everyone you assembled on your vendor team. I knew from the moment the cheering started as I began your Grand Entrance that this crowd was special, and that crazy energy did not dip one time the rest of the night! You have an incredible group of family and friends who clearly support you 100%, and I'm just so grateful I could share in your celebration on this night. I hope you and Maddi continue to experience that much joy the rest of your lives! Please keep in touch, because I want to hang out at your next party, lol! - Blake

    The Music Place is Awesome

    We hired The Music Place to DJ our wedding, and Blake did an amazing job! He was super helpful throughout the planning process in the months leading up to our wedding, especially when we needed to change venues due to Covid. At our reception, he kept the night moving along smoothly, and even helped our family surprise us with a flash mob and a live performance by my sister. The dance floor was packed all night, and the music was great. So many of our guests have reached out to us since the wedding to say how awesome our DJ was. We highly recommend The Music Place. Blake was a huge part of making our wedding an unforgettable experience.

    The Music Place's reply:

    Mike, it was such a pleasure working with you and Emily, and I sincerely appreciate this thoughtful review! You and your outstanding group of friends and family of all ages were seriously the the most fun I've seen in years, and no matter what was thrown at you (venue changes, sweltering temps, mosquitos, and even a severe thunderstorm, not to mention Covid), you guys never let it kill your vibe or dampen your energy all the way to the picture-perfect sparkler send-off. Simply amazing! Thank you for asking me to be a part of it! You're an incredible couple, and I know the party is never going to stop for you and Emily. Congratulations! -Blake

    Incredibly talented, super flexible

    Blake was one of the best wedding DJs I had ever heard. He took the songs and genres we asked for and seamlessly interweaved them with one another. He was also incredibly flexible both with rescheduling our reception due to the pandemic and the unique needs of the toasts from our people of honor. We would 100% reach out to him first if we needed another DJ in the South Bend area!

    The Music Place's reply:

    Thank you Kevin! This party was a long time coming with the Covid 12-month postponement, and it was completely worth the wait! I loved all the unique touches you and Megan included from the podcast-style bridesmaid speech, to the super-fun parent dance selections, to the absolutely amazing Broadway-inspired musical toast. In over 25 years of DJ'ing weddings, I've never seen anything like that 🤩 There's no doubt your friends and family are something special, and so are the two of you! Thanks for trusting us with your special day! -Blake

    Most amazing DJ, perfect night!

    Blake was amazing! Super flexible and the night was perfect. Everyone raved of the music and kept dancing all night long. Last minute we moved ceremony to inside due to rain and Blake came early to do the ceremony. Super appreciative and easy going!

    The Music Place's reply:

    Thank you so much, Nicole! I'm so glad I was able to assist with your ceremony as well! It's also rare that I get the opportunity to celebrate a wedding on a Thursday, and even more rare when it's a group that's ready to have just as much fun as other people do on a weekend. Your friends and family are a great example that it's the people that make the party, not the day of the week! I loved every minute of it ... Cheers to you and Ben! -Blake

    Look No Further for Your Wedding DJ

    The Music Place provided DJ services for our recent wedding and we cannot recommend their brand enough. We worked with the incredible Blake Eckelbarger (DJ Sticky Boots) who made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Communications were always easy and quick. It is clear that Blake runs a well-established business that knows how to work with clients and take the pressure off of wedding couples. We described genres of music we liked and then left the creativity up to Blake for the wedding day. He did not disappoint!! Every single song transitioned perfectly to the next without pause...which kept our dance floor PACKED all evening. Our guests (both older and younger) have not stopped complimenting us on what an amazing DJ we had. I attribute all that praise to Blake and The Music Place. They can read a room so well and you will not regret hiring them!

    The Music Place's reply:

    OMG Emily, thank you so much for your amazing recommendation and kind words! I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and Adam to make your reception memorable and most of all FUN. And I'm not exaggerating when I say your group had the most energy and passion I've seen in years! From the high-energy grand entrance and elegant first dance, to the hilarious and touching speeches, to you guys absolutely destroying the dance floor with music I even personally love, your event was as perfect as I can imagine, and I was so grateful to be a part of it! You guys set the new benchmark for future couples that want want to have a PARTY, and I don't think it will be easily topped. Cheers to you and Adam, and please keep me posted on how you guys are doing in the future! - Blake

    The best DJ ever!

    We knew from the get go that we wanted DJ Stickyboots! We were so excited that he was able to DJ my daughter's wedding. What a great MC as well. He's professional, current, and knows how to get a party started and keep it going. A+++ in our books! We will definitely be a repeat customer!

    Best dj ever!

    We can not recommend Blake @ The Music Place enough! From our initial meeting with him we knew that he would be the perfect DJ for our wedding on 9/5. The day of we never felt like we had to question or verify anything, he had it all under control! He is very talented when it comes to reading the dance floor and seeing what people are responding to. He is very professional, friendly and just over all amazing to work with! Hands down hiring Blake was one of the best wedding decisions we made! We will definitely be using him for future events. Thank so much Blake for making our special day so great!
