Wonderful Band

The Element was wonderful to work with for our November wedding. Erin was so eager to hear our thoughts and make sure that she helped make the night exactly what we wanted. We were so appreciative of how thorough she was. We added horns at the last minute and are so glad we did! We had so many guests contact us after the wedding to tell us how great the band was!

Amazing music

DJ Eric was so great! He was able to perfectly capture our music vibe and we were so impressed!! Every song was great and was able to keep everyone dancing all night! I feel like sometimes wedding DJs play lots of overplayed songs and just the same thing but we feel like his set list perfect, and tailored to exactly what we wanted!!! Thank you so so much for making our night so perfect!!!!

The Element is the BEST!!!!

The Element absolutely knocked our wedding out of the park. I have never seen a dance floor as crowded! Having fun upbeat music that our whole wedding of 200+ people could enjoy was important to us and The Element chose every song intentionally and it was incredible! We are so grateful that The Element were available to perform for us and help us throw a party that we will never forget. Erin was absolutely amazing to work with, made us feel so comfortable and calm, and answered every question so quickly! We were a little worried about the sound in our venue at The Old Courthouse but The Element made sure the sound was perfect from our cocktail hour music, speeches and toasts, to every song that they played live. Chris and I can never express enough gratitude for our perfect night and we are so thankful for all the memories created because of The Element!

BOOK DJ PJ!

DJ PJ absolutely killed it! We were so happy with how the evening played out and it was in large part due to the vibe that DJ PJ created. PJ was so easy to work with throughout the planning process. We trusted his music choices for the reception and he did not disappoint! He really understood the crowd and kept people on the dance floor ALL NIGHT.

We all had so much fun dancing. The Avenue played great songs and the dance floor was never empty. This is the 4th time we have had this band. They are very professional and talented.

Scott Jones = THE BEST

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. DJ 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. Thank you, Scott and the entire Cleveland Music Group team!! We look forward to welcoming you back for future events!

Wedding Processional Dream Come True!

We were so incredibly impressed with Carey Viton and his performance at our wedding ceremony. We had a custom wedding processional request list with multiple songs and a range of classical music and tv show theme songs. Carey learned them all in a week and played each song expertly and so beautifully! We were truly amazed and so thrilled that he was able to bring our vision to life. He was also so flexible when we had to adjust our ceremony timeline unexpectedly. We are infinitely grateful to Carey and the CMG for making our wedding day so special!

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.

BEST BAND EVER!!

We cannot say enough about how unbelievably amazing The Orchestra was at our daughter and son-in-laws NYE wedding! Starting with the easy and efficient scheduling and planning with Scott, Dwayne and Rick before the wedding to the incredible music for the ceremony and reception EVERYTHING WAS PURE PERFECTION! We are all so so so pleased with the night and are continuing to get compliments from our guests! THANK YOU ALL for helping us have the best wedding and NYE!! This night will be hard to top.

The Avenue brought it!

The Avenue Band was very easy to work with on the evening’s schedule and played their heart out all night long! They were happy to accommodate our selections on their playlist. It is quite expansive!

An exceptional evening led by DJ Dan Cormier

DJ 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 in planning the JD/MC and timeline aspects of the event. 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 venue, wedding coordinator and other vendors was top notch. We would absolutely book Dan again and recommend him for any event and every crowd.

So much fun!

The Orchestra was the perfect band for our wedding! It was so easy to work with Scott at CMG to find the right band. Closer to the wedding, we loved working with Dwayne to finalize every detail. He was incredibly detail oriented and ensure that he had every moment of the timeline and announcements perfected as the emcee. From the moment the band started playing during dinner to the final song, they set the tone for the entire evening and every guest had a blast. Could not have asked for a better band on our day!

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!

We could not have chosen a more fun and talented band than Radiate Live to perform at our wedding. They made our wedding more amazing, fun, memorable, and special than we had ever hoped for.

Highly Recommend

DJ Dan Cormier and lighting services were great! They followed our requests and everything was perfect!

Best DJs Ever!

I’m so happy I “lucked” into Difrent Vibez ! They did the perfect job for our wedding. I wanted something a little different for our wedding (not the typical wedding DJ or band), and they were the absolute best. Their vibe, style, and performance were on point. All of the guests commented on how much fun they were and people didn’t stop dancing. Tommie was great to communicate with and worked well with Mike & I. Highly recommend them for a wedding or any type of event! Thank you!

Highlight of our wedding reception

We hired the Sonata Strings for our cocktail hour and they were fantastic! It was important to us to create a special environment that welcomed our guests into our cocktail hour and they did exactly that. In fact, they exceeded our expectations!

The Element played during our reception and I truly cannot say enough good things about them! From the very beginning, countless people told us how lucky we were to have them as our band and now I truly understand why! They are incredibly talented, kind, and professional. And were hands down, the highlight of our reception! Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had.

Thank you Sonata Strings and The Element for helping to make our wedding day so special!

The Wedding DJ Who Keeps Your Party Rocking, Sets the Perfect Atmosphere, and Supports You Every Step of the Way

We can’t say enough about our DJ, Eric Smith ! He was an absolute rockstar at our wedding, and his contributions were a key element in making our special day truly unforgettable.

From the moment the dance floor opened, Eric had everyone on their feet and kept the party going strong all night. His music selection was nothing short of amazing. He seemed to have an uncanny ability to read the crowd and play the perfect songs at just the right moments. The energy in the room was electric, and it was all thanks to Eric’s fantastic music choices and mixing skills.

What truly sets Eric apart, though, is his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. As the bride, I was juggling so many things throughout the day, and Eric was not just a DJ but a calming presence who helped me with the timeline. He made sure that everything flowed smoothly, from our ceremony to our grand entrance to our first dance and all the way to the last song of the night. His support allowed me to fully enjoy every moment without stress.

In summary, Eric Smith is not just a wedding DJ; he’s a wedding magician. He has the incredible ability to keep the party alive, set the perfect atmosphere, and support the bride and groom in ways that go beyond his DJ duties. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we have Eric to thank for that. If you’re looking for a DJ who will turn your special day into an unforgettable celebration, look no further than Eric Smith. He’s a true professional and a genuinely great person to work with. We can’t recommend him and CLE Music Group highly enough!

DJ Edward G was so amazing! He was so great during the pre-wedding planning and made himself available for all questions and concerns that I had, especially since our venue has multiple rooms. My husband and I loved his energy and our guests did too!

Excellent Choice

We hired the Cleveland Keys for my daughter’s wedding after seeing them perform at our country club several months ago. They were even more impressive than I remembered. They all are excellent musicians and engage well with the audience. Easy to work with, friendly and fun. I would highly recommend them for any occasion. They will not disappoint.

best DJ ever!!!

DJ London Bridges made our wedding a whole EVENT. He hyped us up, kept the energy going and our guests had a blast! He was so kind and open to everything. Would highly recommend him for ANY event.

Stellar DJ and Great Guy

DJ DC was a wonderful guy who was patient, conscientious, and professional throughout our entire planning process and event. My wife and I were incredibly happy about how he did, and how well he packed a dance floor. Guests are still raving about how much fun they had at our wedding weeks later!

Fun and Adaptable

We loved the energy DJ Cri$pE brought to the wedding. Lots of compliments on the music. When changes came up that weren’t planned he was very adaptable. He was awesome to work with the entire process!! Even with Lindsay and I getting a list to him last minute!!

An Amazing and Masterful DJ!

Michelle ( DJ Cadence ) was awesome! Her music choices were phenomenal and she was able to read the room and make adjustments all night. We had multiple people comment on how well she managed the venue and the playlist. 10/10 would recommend!

Best Night Ever!

DJ James Fruits was AMAZING! From the very beginning, he was a pleasure to work with and he really understood our vision for the night. Even with some maybe more complicated requests we made, he nailed it! Our guests are still raving about his live performance during cocktail hour. He always made sure everything was happening according to the timeline and he always kept the energy going in the room. We could have not asked for a better night. Thank you so much for everything!

DJ Evan understood our needs and went above and beyond! He was the absolute perfect match for us and hit it out of the park. He truly listened to us and was so experienced in the type of music that we we’re going for. We received SO many compliments after (and during) the wedding. It was a blast. Evan can throw a party! Best wedding ever. Would HIGHLY recommend! We wouldn’t have changed a thing!

Perfect Wedding DJ

Evan did an exceptional job as the DJ for our wedding ! 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!

Best DJ Ever

It was fantastic! DJ Jordan was literally perfect he knew how to keep the vibes perfectly. Everyone was on the dance floor the ENTIRE time! We really would recommend him to anyone and everyone who would listen. Give him a big raise because he is the best DJ ever! We have no complaints!!

We absolutely loved DJ Judi ! We could not have asked for or wanted a better DJ for our wedding. She is extremely professional and easy to work with. Her library of music was great for bringing everyone to the dance floor.

Best DJ, HIRE HIM!

Ernie was an amazing DJ ! I can’t say enough positive things about Ernie and his assistants. My guests can’t stop talking about how we had the best DJ of any wedding they’ve been to. The dance floor was constantly packed and everyone of all ages had a blast. He kept the energy so high and made everything so fun. We had a few issues on timing and some vendors running late (not him) he kept me and my now husband informed and got us back on schedule. We had quite a few hiccups early on but but Ernie seriously made all issues fade and we had a blast because of it. You’d be doing yourself a disservice by not hiring him. If I ever have any other event he’d be my first call.

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!

The Best DJ in all of CLE – PJ

I would like to start this testimonial off by thanking DJ PJ for being so thoughtful, kind, caring, and enthusiastic! From the beginning of the planning process to the actual wedding day, PJ showed his experience, how much he cared and how much he wanted to make our day exactly how we wanted it. We met with him in person and he got to know our story, our taste in music, and discussed ways that would set out day a part from those he’s seen in the past. On the wedding day, PJ absolutely killed it! From the ceremony readings, to the many announcements, to our first dance and to the music that literally kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. I will go as far to say that PJ made our day with the music he played. If you plan on hiring a DJ for your wedding, you truly cannot go wrong with PJ. Thanks again PJ!

Element Review

Everyone loved The Element !! They kept the dance floor full and fun until we got kicked out of our venue because our time was up at 11:30. Erin was amazing, a pleasure to work with and made everything run super smoothly. 10/10 would recommend the element to everyone. They were so good at reading the room and playing what people wanted to hear. Cannot speak highly enough of them!!

AMAZING experience!

We had the BEST time interacting with DJ Jordan pre- and post-wedding and he did such an incredible job throughout our wedding day as well. Many of our guests mentioned what a great DJ we had and how he really kept the party going. Our venue’s outdoor space was a very comfortable hang out for most of our guests but Jordan was able to keep people on the dance floor inside all night long. Not only was the party great but his check-ins on timing with Jerome and I were an absolute blessing. He’s an all around great guy to work with and we will certainly be recommending him to all friends/family in the future.

Brought the energy!

We wanted to book live music for both our ceremony and reception and CMG was able to perfectly match a string quartet for our ceremony and Radiate Live for the reception. We got SO many compliments from guests and everyone was so impressed.

Literally the Perfect Choice!

Our guests were blown away by The Perfect Choice Band ! They were outstanding! All of the musicians were talented and energetic. Our wedding planner told us after the event that she had never had a reception with a dance floor that packed. We received numerous compliments about the band and many guests told us that they were the best wedding band ever. Eric with The Perfect Choice Band was super friendly and helpful. He MC’d our introductions and dances flawlessly. He was very engaged prior to our event and made himself available to join our planning meetings. The song list was full of fun tunes that our crowd loved. I was particularly impressed by the range of songs they were able to perform. The singers were incredible… we all know pulling off a Beyonce song isn’t easy. I would choose the Perfect Choice Band over and over again. Booking the band via The Cleveland Music Group was super easy. Terms and pricing were very reasonable. 10/10 would recommend!

DJ DC had our guests dancing all night!

DJ DC was a hit at our wedding! His outgoing personality and experience made it easy for us throughout the planning process. He was very prepared and confirmed all the details with us just before the wedding. DJ DC created great playlists for our ceremony and cocktail hour that matched the vibes we wanted. Our guests can’t stop talking about our DJ! Our dance floor was packed for the entire night thanks to him and he was sure to play all the requests from us and our bridal party! He was even inquired about doing a wedding for a friend of mine after his performance at our wedding. 100% recommend, you won’t regret it!

Amazing band

Kyle and K-Street created a most memorable evening for our son’s wedding. We wanted a fun party with dancing and a lot of energy! This is exactly what this band delivered! Kyle coming down onto the dance floor engaging the guests in singing and dancing was absolutely phenomenal! Everyone had a dance-fantastic time!

DJ Cadence did a great job for us for the second year in a row!

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!

Fantastic Band!

Stan is the man! We had an amazing experience planning the wedding day with him, and he was kind and helpful all the way through. The Bottom Line band sounded fantastic on our wedding night, and Stan ran the show smoothly. He kept it very low-stress for us. The dance floor was packed, and we had lots of friends and family commenting that they loved the band and the music.

AMAZING HIGH ENERGY CREW!!!!

We loved Radiate Live !!! Our guests loved the energy!!!!!!!!

DJ Cadence was a great wedding DJ

We got multiple good reviews at the end of our reception from guests saying that two things were great: the food and the DJ!

DJ Cadence did a thorough job and met with me 2 times before the wedding to make sure we were a good fit and on the same page for the day of. She made the ceremony music flow well, and did a great job getting our small party to dance!

So fun and energetic!

Michelle was an amazing DJ for our wedding ! She had so much energy and played the perfect music for our event! Everyone said how much fun they had and how they just couldn’t leave the dance floor, the songs were too good!! She was also so helpful with making sure the event stayed on track and we stuck as close as possible to our day of timeline. I would definitely recommend anyone to book Michelle for their wedding.

Unbelievable

Eric and the Perfect Choice band are the best. Top to bottom, great sound, great people and perfect night. Eric was so willing to work with us, I just can’t get over how nice they made our event. Beyond impressed with these pro’s. Thanks guys, you killed it.

Everyone needs PJ as part of their wedding

DJ PJ is a master of his craft. He is easy to get along with, endlessly adaptable, and has a great attention to detail. We found ourselves saying “we would definitely be friends with this guy” after our first meeting. We warned PJ there may be limited dancers in our crew, but on the night of the wedding, PJ kept the dance floor packed all night. It takes a special kind of person to be able to transition from traditional Greek dances to pop punk jams (both of these were our requests btw— he didn’t go rogue!), and somehow keep everyone interested in between, and PJ absolutely crushed it. We had guests coming up to us all night raving about how great our DJ was, and we couldn’t agree with them more!

Fantastic DJ for 50th Class Reunion

Our reunion committee and classmates thought Daniel Cormier was the perfect DJ for our event. He was prepared, personable and very receptive to requests. He matched the music (and volume) to our three phases – cocktails, dinner and dancing – perfectly. A huge thank you to Daniel and Cleveland Music Group for helping to make our 50th reunion perfect!

The service was great and I’m so happy I chose Jordan to be our DJ

DJ Jordan ensured that things were set!!! He made sure to inform us on what’s about to take place. Jordan was great with music selections!!

Worth Every Penny: Party of a Lifetime

If you’re trying to show up and show out, if you’re trying to GET DOWN and GET AROUND on that floor… this band is for you. If floor stomping, booty rockin’ tunes isn’t your thing, then you should just pass this review up, you don’t need these guys. They’re too cool, too professional, too effective as entertainers… unless you’re trying to take it to the limit.

Remember Liam Neeson’s character in ‘Taken’? His unique set of skills that make him very effective? That’s THE ELEMENT, except instead of torturing Albanian human traffickers, their business is PARTYING and business is booming. These guys are like the John Wick or Seal Team 6 of wedding bands without all the dead dogs and helicopter crashes. Skilled operators.

The Element Band , not AN element, THE element. These guys are the Carbon, or Hydrogen for your party, the building blocks of it’s LIFE. Invigorate your party and hire them.

Also spring for the brass and woodwind instruments. Erin Rossi was like an event manager once she showed up SUPER helpful and kept the timeline of the event moving along. Awesome band, the guests all complimented me on them.

Best DJ ever

DJ PJ was the highlight of our wedding ! From start to finish he was professional and personable, he made us all comfortable and helped calm our nerves. The reception music was some of the best we have ever heard!! I am still getting messages from guests saying that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We got compliments all night on how good the music was and how much fun everyone was having. Our venue told us it was the most people they had seen on the dance floor in weeks! PJ was the absolute best choice for our wedding and I would highly recommend him!!

Amazing DJ Experience!

DJ Chris Wallace was the perfect DJ for our wedding day . Our dance floor was packed all night long! He did a wonderful job of getting to know our music tastes, while also providing a wonderful guest experience by reading the crowd. During the initial planning process, he offered excellent tips for planning a seamless wedding reception. He was kind, friendly, and professional to work with. We have received so many compliments from our guests on how much fun our reception was. We attribute a lot of this to the amazing work of DJ Chris Wallace. We can’t recommend him enough to couples looking for a fantastic wedding DJ!

Great Party

Jordan was an awesome DJ ! He knew how to pull people on the dance floor and let me tell you he had the party going! He kept the dance floor packed the whole night! Was super open to all the ideas we had and also have some wonderful recommendations!! Could not recommend Jordan more! Made our day so special!

Best choice ever!

We absolutely could not be happier that we chose The Element for our wedding. They are all such talented musicians and curated the perfect setlist for our friends and family to have an absolute blast on the dance floor. It was truly the ultimate party we will never forget & we’ve gotten countless comments from guests saying it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. Erin was awesome with communication leading up to the wedding, and was also an excellent emcee who made everything run smoothly night-of. Cannot recommend The Element highly enough.

We have never heard SO many compliments about a wedding DJ before. We were thrilled with our guests love for Eric’s skills. He knew how to get the party started and kept the dance floor PACKED the entire night. He was the definition of a crowd pleaser. Days after the wedding we are still receiving compliments on how great the DJ was and that’s a testiment to Eric’s ability to appeal to any and every crowd. He hit all genres of music seamlessly. One of our biggest wishes was for a full dance floor and to keep up with our guests and night and Eric exceeded that. We would highly recommend Eric for any events – as his abilities to mend to all types of crowds was perfection.

Nate did a fantastic job performing [guitar and vocals] at our wedding reception. His music selection was spot on. He was professional, courteous, and even stayed a bit later because everyone loved it so much. We will remember this for the rest of our lives!

DJ Jaime was the best! She orchestrated the entire evening, kept everything moving, read the crowd, and was totally into the event and what she was doing, like she was a member of the family. I will recommend her and CLE Music group to anyone looking for a DJ. She truly did produce the energy. The staff at CLE are friendly and very knowledgeable, the best in the business.

AMAZING 10 PIECE BAND

Music City Sound was phenomenal! Their performance was amazing from the vocals, instruments, dancers and song choices. Our guests cannot stop texting and commenting on how it’s the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. My family is trying to think of an excuse to throw another event just to have them come back! We absolutely loved them and they were also great to work / plan with for our wedding. Cannot say how much we’d recommend!

Exceptional! You will be lucky if they are available!

Catherine and Jason were the vocalists for both our daughters’ weddings and simply put their talent is exceptional. They have a lot of experience working with music directors especially those of Catholic churches and they went above and beyond to meet and talk with us personally to help plan the wedding program. Catherine’s Ave Maria was not only moving, it was angelic, and Jason’s rendition of All Good Gifts Around Us from Godspell was probably better than the original. Catherine coming in for the harmony in this song was so notably beautiful. I wish every song they sang this weekend could be on their website because they all deserve 5 star “reviews.” Thank you to the Kluebers from bringing such devotional beauty to both our daughters’ ceremonies. We will be forever grateful.

A special ~Element~ to our wedding day

My husband and I are so glad we choose The Element for our wedding day! They added such a special element to our wedding day! We loved the live music and the band was amazing!! They brought so much positive energy and beautiful music to our day. Our guests have been raving about them!! The lead singer Erin was also wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding. The band also allowed my dad and I to use their set-up and instruments to perform our own song. The band incorporated our requested songs beautifully in their set list and kept the party going! We are so glad we chose The Element and recommend it to anyone looking for a band!!

We LOVE DJ Ernie !! He is like family to us now because of how special he made our day.

Every single detail was perfect, he was so fun, kept everyone on the dance floor and went out of his way to check in on us and make sure everything was perfect. We put our full trust in him and he overdelivered. Every single one of our guests has RAVED about how incredible our DJ was.

From the bottom of our hearts. THANK YOU for making our evening better than we could have ever dreamed.

Oldies but Goodies

Dj Judi was absolutely fabulous! She performed at my mom and aunt’s surprise 70th birthday. We asked Judi to play great dance music from the 70s, 80s and 90s. She did not fail to impress. There was line dancing, a Congo line and even a polka at the end! We all had so much fun, it’s been weeks now and people are still telling me how much fun they had. Judi was very easy to work with and super accommodating. She made time to setup a call before the party to make sure everything was in place and she knew exactly what I was looking for. Judi even joined in with our animal print party theme. I would definitely recommend her for your next event.

Thanks so much for everything Judi, you really made the day an event to remember!

The DJs were energetic, fun and super friendly. Great to work with. Kept the crowd engaged and just all around fantastic. Really enjoyed having them in my home! Thank you!

Kind and Wonderful

I very much enjoyed having The Element be a part of our day. Erin was amazing to work with before the wedding and made such an effort to get people involved in the wedding activities day of. They also learned our first dance song for us and did an amazing job with it. They are truly such a kind bunch of people and helped to make our day meaningful for us.

Great performer for our garden venue

Guests loved Will’s ability to cover a broad range of music.

The Best Night of Our Lives

DJ London Bridges-Brandon – went above and beyond our expectations!

We’ve been to many weddings over the last few years and this was one of the only weddings where the dance floor was packed and it didn’t seem like it was forced for people to dance. The dance floor was filled all night with all age groups. Multiple people came up to us that evening, and the following days, telling us how great of a DJ we had. Some even mentioned they had more fun at our wedding than their own because of him.

If we could get married again, we would 100% choose him and not change one thing.

We highly recommend to book him for your wedding or next event!

DJ Jordan was on time, professional, full of energy and made our night one we will never forget. We didn’t give him much of a playlist, but every song he played was better than the last, the dance floor was never empty! We still get comments on the dinner music. We would absolutely recommend DJ Jordan to anyone!

Fun, Crowd-pleasing Wedding DJ

We absolutely loved DJ Chris . He did an excellent job at keeping our dance floor busy all night. Chris made sure he had songs for all age groups too. He even did a great job at incorporating some music suggestions we had. He helped make our wedding so much fun!

An absolute blast!

We had such an incredible wedding night and The Orchestra was a huge part of that. They had such a great energy and an amazing song list. I had people coming up to me all night and messaging me the next day about how much they loved the band. We couldn’t have asked for more!

The BEST night!

When I looked into a DJ I knew Cleveland music group had awesome DJ’s but I was completely blown away with DJ DC ! He made it so easy to send him and pick my music, he created the most incredible playlist from our families favorites and our favorites and kept the dance floor dancing all night!! So many people have come up to me telling me what an awesome DJ he was!! The night truly wouldn’t have been the same with anyone else. I cannot recommend DJ DC enough to anyone looking into booking a DJ. You will be blown away with his kindness, ease, and great DJing skills!! Perfect fit for our wedding!

DJ Brian kept it rolling all night. He’s very good at reading the room! It was a younger crowd on the dance floor.

The best DJ inCleveland

The Bearded DJ, Eric Smith , was the best DJ at any wedding I have ever been to. From his help with the timeline before the wedding, to helping ensure everything ran smoothly the day of, he was a tremendous help! The music selection he played was great and there never was a moment that the dance floor was empty. We have had had least 50 guests compliment our DJ and tell us how great he was and what great music he played. I could not recommend him more highly!

Best Band in Cleveland

Hiring The Avenue was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! Tiffany was so organized and helpful on the calls/emails leading up to the wedding, which really put us at ease. When it came to the reception, the band’s energy was so contagious and the vocal/musical talent was incredible! Our guests complimented the band all night and in the days following the wedding. The Avenue truly made our wedding an incredible celebration!

Our night was made even more special and fun because of The Avenue ! We got so many compliments about their energy and talent. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for live music at their wedding reception!

DJ Ernie and the entire crew with him were energetic and personable from the beginning. While planning a lot of people made comments such as, “a band or DJ can make or break a wedding!” They truly made ours so special. They interacted with the crowd, played all of the songs we requested and in general just put on a great show.

We absolutely loved our music selections from Cleveland Music Group ( DJ Chris Wallace and Sonata Strings )! I felt that both took the time to have a detail call prior to our wedding with my coordinator to go over details and timeline so that we were all on the same page. Our guests are still raving about the music for both the ceremony and reception, I would choose them both again if I had to do the day over!

The perfect DJ for our wedding!

From start to finish, DJ Eric was the perfect fit! He found ways to incorporate all our song requests (no matter how unique and eclectic)!

Music was the most important part of the wedding to us and he exceeded all our hope and expectations! We had a very wide range of genres from country to pop to rock to alternative, even the Hora, and Eric made them all blend seamlessly and kept the dance floor packed!

Finally, he stayed late for us to have our perfect private last dance.

Amazing setting and music

Our guest loved the string quartet ! They were amazing, I have had them at both of my children’s weddings and the never disappoint. The process is so easy to hire, plan, coordinate this string quartet! Thank you so much!

He was fantastic

DJ Bill Bowen did a fantastic job for our wedding reception! He played everything to our exact specifications and he also used his experience and expertise to entertain everyone the rest of the time leaving us free to enjoy our special day. Thank you all again, it was a real pleasure working with you, the whole process was professional, easy and efficient!

Professional and fun!

Matt (DJ Gaz) did an awesome job with our wedding reception. He balanced our song requests with crowd pleasers and the results speak for themselves – we and our guests enjoyed dancing all night! He also did a great job of catering both to the young crowd and our older relatives. I would definitely recommend hiring DJ Gaz for your event!

DJ Gaz exceeded our expectations!

DJ Gaz was absolutely phenomenal. He was a class act that knew how to interact with the crowd and he kept our dance floor packed all night! The music/DJ choice can make or break your wedding reception and we are so glad we went with DJ Gaz from Cleveland Music Group.

Our guests were extremely impressed with The Avenue . They had people on the dance floor ALL NIGHT long. It was apparent that when the band took a break, guests needed a break too! What an incredibly talented group!

DJ Chris Wallace was the best DJ we could have ever booked! He made the planning process so easy. Our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour had perfect audio with no issues at all. Chris stayed on schedule with clear communication with us throughout the night. Chris played all of our song requests and even added in songs that matched our vibe as the night went on. No one left the dance floor until it was time to leave. 10/10- amazing DJ.

Best Day Ever!

They were easy to work with for both our photobooth and DJ! We used DJ PJ and he was awesome! We didn’t leave the dance floor all night. PJ even checked in with us after the ceremony to see if we needed any food or drinks. He made the effort to meet us before the wedding to go over music preferences and choices. The playlist was better than I could have imagined. Our friends and family had so much fun. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Amazing Party!

We had The Element play our wedding and they were FABULOUS! They kept the party going all night and the dance floor was full! They have such a fun variety of music they play which made it fun to switch up the genres. I would highly recommend The Element for any wedding.

Incredible experience with James Fruits at our wedding!!

We utilized DJ 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 aid in music selections 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.

Highly recommend

DJ Evan Foltz and Cleveland Music Group had great, quick communication and made the planning for our wedding reception so simple! Thank you!

We loved The Element ! They took care of everything and had the dance floor packed for the entire night. I couldn’t say better things about the whole experience. Thank you!

Doesn’t get better than that!

Working with The Orchestra was a world class professional and personal experience from the very start. Dwayne did an incredible job as the MC and makes sure he gets every little detail right. He was accommodating of our own needs and we were slightly picky.

The band is lights out, out of this world talented! It made for such a dance party from beginning until the end. I cannot say enough good things about The Orchestra. It is clear why they are considered the top-of-the-line wedding band in Cleveland. Don’t think twice on booking them, you will not regret it!

Great Success

DJ DC did a fantastic job! He kept our guests dancing and they seemed to enjoy the evening. Dan was very easy to work with and was prepared. The ceiling lights were also a very nice addition!

The highlight of our party!

Dennis played accordion for our daughters 2nd birthday party – an Italian themed event! He was reliable, personable, professional and a wonderful performer! He was the highlight of the show and thoroughly entertained our guests! He even sang happy birthday in English and Italian to our birthday girl! THANK YOU!!

The most fun band in Cleveland

You don’t need to read this entire review. If you are considering hiring a band for your wedding, hire The Element.

We had the opportunity to see a handful of different bands to decide which one to go with. While all of them were musically talented, there is not another band in Cleveland that can match the level of fun that The Element provides. They not only played our first dance and parents’ dances to perfection. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say the three hours of music and dancing at the end of the reception were the most fun 3 hours my wife and I have had in our lives.

The lead singer, Erin, was also the music coordinator we worked with. In addition to being professional, she is the friendliest, most upbeat person we worked with in the entire wedding planning process. We met in person for the first time right before the reception, and it felt like seeing a friend. We knew from working with her and seeing the band in person they would be fantastic, but they were better than anything we could have imagined. Having Erin and Tony both as singers gives them the ability to do both male and female vocals seamlessly.

If you are going to have a band at your wedding, let me make the decision for you. Your band is The Element.

Fantastic Music

The 2 musical groups selected exceeded our expectations. The string trio was the perfect accompaniment for the ceremony. They played some traditional songs as well as a more contemporary piece and it was all beautiful. We had several comments from guests on how much they enjoyed the ceremony music. For the reception, we had The Element and they were outstanding. Erin did a great job as MC, and the music kept everyone on the dance floor all evening. Both young and old had a blast. If I could give one piece of advice to someone planning a wedding, it would be to have a live band. It truly makes all the difference. Many of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended. Thank you for making this such a special celebration. It was just great!

We have not stopped hearing from our guests that The Bottom Line was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard – and we agree!! Amazing, amazing band. Stan the lead singer was so kind and helpful throughout the whole evening.

Every person we have talked to has said how great the band was and how much fun they had dancing to their songs! Thanks so much Sunrise Jones , we can’t wait to come to more of your shows!

Iconic night!

DJ DC followed our requests and even went out of his way to play some specific song requests that were special to our family. The dance floor was never empty and everyone had a blast thanks to him!

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. 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 to hire them to come play! They made us feel so special and made our wedding even better!

The absolute best!!!

The Cleveland Keys were phenomenal. Everyone danced and sang all night. The Musicians were incredibly talented and so personable. We’d hirer them again in a second!❤️❤️❤️

Highlight of our wedding

We booked The Avenue of the Cleveland Music Group for our wedding band – I literally cannot stress enough how INCREDIBLE they were. The entire dance floor was FULL for 3.5 hours. The band had amazing energy, voices, and range – they were without a doubt one of the highlights of our wedding and all our guests could talk about. They also sent us a long song list a few weeks in advance and gave us the opportunity to pick our favorites and set the vibe for the night – we definitely prefer oldies/classics over more modern tunes and they took that and ran with it. 10/10 would recommend and book again!

Amazing night!

We had Evan Foltz through CMG for our wedding DJ . He was fantastic, listened to our requests and kept the group engaged. He knew how to control the dance floor and it was a blast. Many compliments on his DJ services throughout the night! We would definitely recommend him and CMG.

Fantastic DJ!

DJ Cadence was fun and kept people on the dance floor.

Blown away!

Cleveland Music Group was a pleasure to work with during our wedding planning process. We decided to book The Music City Sound from Nashville, and they completely exceeded our expectations. We have not stopped hearing feedback from our families and guests about how incredible the band was at our wedding. And we even had a few friends who are engaged ask us for their information! They made our wedding so special and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. We are huge music people, and our band was one of the most important parts of our wedding. CT and the whole band couldn’t have been kinder, more professional, or more talented!

DJ Evan did such a great job at our party. Usually, our group is very reserved and he was able to get my employees out on that dance floor dancing! Excellent service from start to finish!

AMAZING BAND!

We had so much fun with The Avenue ! They had great communication prior to the event to narrow down our desired songs, they learned a couple new songs for first dances, and even played a song with my husband singing and my dad on the drums! Thank you to Tiffany & the incredible band for keeping our dance floor full all night (-: We are so happy that you were able to play at our wedding!

Great working with CMG!!

Everyone gave positive reviews of the music at our wedding. The DJ, Eric , did a great job leading us through the evening. He listened to what we had requested and made it all run smoothly. It was so much fun!

The Element played at our daughter’s wedding and they were AMAZING! We met in advance because Erin, lead singer/MC, wanted to know about the couple and our family. She really cared and wanted to be sure of every detail to pronouncing each name correctly, songs we wanted and songs we didn’t want. There was dancing non-stop and our guests agreed that they made the night awesome! Super talented group of musicians!

The life of the party

The Orchestra was instrumental (pun intended) in making our wedding the best night of our lives. From the moment the band started playing, our guests were loving every second of what they were playing. At one point in time a few band members came onto the dance floor to dance and play at the same time, which was a highlight of the night and so much fun for our guests. Thank you so much for helping the wedding of our dreams come true!

Match City did an amazing job at our wedding. Not only did they play outstanding music that kept the crowd on the dance floor (til 1am), but they also did a great job MCing our event. They excelled our expectations and I can’t wait to come see them perform again. On top of all that, they’re also great guys.

High Energy

Guests loved the band! The dance floor was never empty. Jeff was so organized, worked with the bride and groom (and the mom) to ensure a terrific mix of songs. Great job emceeing the speeches, first dances, etc. If we had to host another wedding (thank goodne$$ thi$ wa$ our la$t), I would not hesitate to use The Players Club again.

Fantastic client service from CMG and great talent from our artists!

CMG – Erin in the office was phenomenal to work with! She was available to answer any and all of our questions in a timely manner. She made selecting and finalizing our music and lighting needs for our big day seamless and easy.

Nate – Nate was a PHENOMENAL performer! He set the scene for our summer evening outdoor ceremony at the Botanical Garden with his beautiful guitar playing. He also sang/played guitar during our cocktail hour where he had raving reviews from all our guests. He was very professional and easy to work with in the planning process. He helped us select songs for processional/recessional and the cocktail hour and performed the beautiful. He arrived early to set up and run the mic for our officiant as well as his own set up. Nate is a very talented performer and provided the perfect backdrop to our celebration!

Jul – DJ Jul was great to work with through the planning process and made us comfortable going into the ceremony. His intake form was easy to fill out and helped us structure our evening and song selections. His setup allowed our guests to text in song requests which was an awesome feature. He did a great job reading the vibe of the party and tailoring the playlist to what our guests were interested in dancing to. We had a slight issue with the mic during the Father of the Bride speech but he was able to make adjustments and fixed the issue for the following two speeches. Overall, he did an awesome job!

BOOK DJ London Bridges!!

We loved DJ London Bridges . He was extremely attentive to our requests and kept the environment fun and exciting. He’s very personable and great to talk to. Would highly recommend for any event you are considering him for.

DJ Ed was great!!

DJ Ed was the perfect addition and vendor for our wedding! He was easy to work with, good with communication, and let us personalize our playlist. Plus, he really brought the energy — our guests loved him!

DJ Eric really made our day magical! It was everything that I imagined and more! Eric really took the time to see what we wanted and make it come to life! I have no complaints. I will forever recommend DJ Eric and Cleveland Music Group!!

Thank you for making our day amazing!

Erin and The Element Band was absolutely amazing! Several people who I’ve never seen dance before were out on the dance floor dancing the night away! We received several comments that this was the best wedding ever, and the band was a huge part of making it so fantastic! They played my ceremony music, a mic for us and our officiant during the ceremony, a playlist for cocktail hour, and then provided dinner and reception live music. Basically, they do it ALL! Erin was a perfect emcee and provided the energy and fun we wanted.

Often when I’ve heard live music at weddings the sound can be overwhelming, however, that was never an issue because they had a sound tech at our event all night making sure it sounded great. I seriously could not recommend them enough, they were absolutely perfect!!!

DJ James Fruits was a fantastic DJ!!! Prior to the wedding, James was well organized, great at communicating and made the DJ planning really fun! The day of our wedding he really kept the dance floor moving! He did an absolute great job reading the crowd, I had many people come up to me and tell me how great he was. My husband’s family is Romanian and he played a few Romanian songs which our guests loved!! It really brought everyone together. James also performed live during dinner service and he was fantastic! Our guests were very impressed. He really kept the night moving and I cannot recommend him enough for any wedding!!

Beautiful singer and pianist!!

Angelina and Carey performed at our Catholic wedding ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. They were both very well versed in Catholic ceremonies and knew when music was needed for each part of the ceremony and had great suggestions. Angelina and I had one phone call and a few email correspondence and the rest she coordinated with the church! Working with both of them was super easy and they both did a fantastic job!

Thank you so much!

DJ Eric did a great job! We got multiple compliments during and after the wedding of how great he was!

Everything we wanted and more!

DJ Eric was beyond amazing to work with and completely exceeded our expectations on our wedding day! He helped us thoughtfully curate playlists for each part of the night and was unbelievably attentive to the crowd as we danced the night away. He played the perfect mix and kept the dance floor packed all night! We received so many compliments on how amazing he was and would recommend him to anyone getting married who wants a DJ that will meet their music tastes while also keeping their guests happy and having a good time!

Phenomenal Wedding Music

We booked the Sonata Strings quartet and Carey Viton (piano) to play the music for our wedding ceremony. They both were very nice, easy to communicate with and did an amazing job at the wedding! So many people complimented the music. I highly recommend them!

A must-book duo

Wes and Teresa from the Travelin’ Johnsons were the perfect addition to our rehearsal dinner. Not only are they super talented musicians, their professional presence and kindness left a permanent impression on every guest. They crafted the ideal acoustic setlist for the event – like Wes said they would – they read the room, felt the vibe, and took care of the rest! So many incredible memories from the night. One to share was when we all finished eating and Wes and Teresa started to play Danny’s Song by Kenny Loggins. Suddenly, every table was unexpectedly singing along, holding hands, enjoying the moment. Sounds simple, but was so pure and beautiful. And all thanks to the Travelin’ Johnsons. We will absolutely be booking them for another event as soon as we can. Thank you again, Wes, Teresa, & the Cleveland Music Group!

Great Experience!

We had Chris Wallace DJ our wedding and it went great! He followed all of our instructions and kept the dance floor moving all night. I would recommend to any couple!

A Homecoming to Remember!!

CLE Music Group did it again!! I’ve been using this company for my high school’s Prom for several years now, and this year we decided to get them involved in our Homecoming. I gave them our budget and said what we wanted, and they put it together! We had video games, Just Dance, enough lighting to turn the Gym into a club, and a fantastic and a responsive DJ ! CLE Music group truly is a one-stop shop for entertainment needs, and I plan to continue using them in the future!

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!

Erin and the Element band were just incredible to our family. The planning was so smooth and she really listened to what Lauren and Elliott wanted. The played virtually all night. The breaks were so seamless with their music choices that it just seemed as though Erin wasn’t singing. Our entire family and all the guests were on the dance floor all night long. It was exactly what we dreamed the evening would be. Are family cannot possibly say enough good things about working with CLE music group and The Element. Rush to you phone and book a CLE Music Group to play at your event NOW!

DJ Marc was an excellent emcee and music DJ

DJ Marc was great to work with from start to finish. He listened to what we were looking for in our celebration and made it easy to choose music that would we and our guests would enjoy. Since our ceremony and reception were at the same venue, DJ Marc emceed the entire event, from when guests arrived, through our ceremony, dinner and dancing. DJ Marc’s music selections were an excellent mix of songs that allowed all of our guests to find something they enjoyed dancing to. He also demonstrated line dances that got many of our guests involved and included a few interactive elements that got people laughing. Lastly, DJ Marc’s lighting was tasteful during dinner and later created a wonderful party atmosphere for dancing. We could not have asked for more and would highly recommend DJ Marc for others.

Did an amazing job. Excellent to work with

DJ Fruits was amazing! Had the dance floor going all night and was super kind and easy to work with. Would highly recommend working with Cleveland Music Group.

DJ Cadence did a perfect job for our corporate event! She was friendly and listened to what the crowd wanted. She helped make it a memorable evening for all!

Simply the Best

From beginning to end the music exceeded our greatest expectations! Not a single guest left without raving about the musical talent and days later I’m still getting compliments and enquirers. I gladly recommend CLE Music Group! As soon as my daughter got engaged, I reached out to Scott with my vision. He listened and made suggestions. Honestly it is a leap of faith when you hire your musical talent sight unseen! He did not disappoint. Pete Cavano, talented guitarist , gave our ceremony and cocktail hour the class and joy we were looking for🥰. Then came The Sly Band . Wow! What a performance they gave! My feet still hurt from dancing but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you Scott for pointing me in the perfect direction and bringing my vision to life🤗. You Rock!

PJ is the PERFECT Wedding DJ!

PJ was everything we wanted for our wedding DJ and more ! He was the life of the party, the crowd loved him (our guests even chanted his name!) and he made sure our dance floor was filled all night long. It was a pleasure working with him and he went above and beyond to make us feel cared for and to ensure we had a blast with our family and friends. PJ is by far the best DJ at a wedding we’ve ever seen, and we’re incredibly lucky to have had him for ours!

Short notice wedding services

We originally had a destination wedding planned at Fort Myers Beach. Eight days before the event, the venue was destroyed by a hurricane. We had to scramble to create an Ohio wedding very quickly. We reached out to CLE Music Group and was contacted by Scott Jones. He immediately found us a fabulous DJ, Jordan , who followed our daughter and Tony’s wishes to a tea.

The wedding was so much fun-all the quests commented how great Jordan did. He was so accommodating and personable, the entire evening was perfect! Thank you for making this impromptu event an outstanding, memorable night.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Danced all night long. The Element was excellent!!!!!

Jul Green is the real deal.

DJ Jul was amazing! His energy just illuminated the dance floor from start to finish! His music choices were spot on! His read on the guests and their music requests never stopped. I highly recommend Jul for your next event. His personality and professionalism was greatly appreciated. I am grateful he was our DJ. He truly made our event one we will remember always. TY JUL!

Kept the night moving!

We really appreciated DJ Judi and her experience with running the evening. She had great playlists queued up for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and worked with us on our and our guests’ requests. She did just the right amount of announcements that helped our big day flow smoothly

Fantastic band!!

The Orchestra was absolutely phenomenal! Dwayne was our master of ceremonies and he was the best. We couldn’t have been happier with the music, the flow of the evening and everyone danced the night away.

Amazing wedding band

We had The Orchestra for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. Everyone was dancing the whole night and we only wish we could have had them stay longer! Dwayne was so easy to work with and led the events of the evening with ease. The band is energetic, fun and beyond talented across the group. We loved having the full horn section too – they came down onto the dance floor and all the guests loved it. Thank you for making our wedding as special as it was, we had the best time!

AMAZING TRIO!

Michelle Romary’s trio was amazing playing eclectic music from all eras during our dinner and cocktail hour. Never took a break for 2 1/2 hours and were as strong at the end as they were in the beginning. Beyond a classy evening. Guests clapped after each song and they even learned a song we wanted to dance to in a short period of time and it beyond met expectations!

Did a great job

I appreciate that Harry called before the event. He showed up on time, and performed wonderfully!

Parish Appreciation Dinner

We have had The Raybans a few other times – they are well liked by the folks at the parish which is why we had them again. And the band enjoys our venue and crowd and also expressed interest in coming again.

Craig is familiar with our setting and group and called in advance to confirm time and set up area.

There were a few comments that the selection of music had changed and some of the newer music wasn’t as well liked – but the dance floor was always active.

Amazing wedding band!!

The Element had the dance floor packed all night long at the reception. I had several guests say to me in the weeks following the event what a great band it was and how they made the night. Erin is great to work with and you cannot go wrong with hiring the Element. PS, adding the horns was a great last minute decision!

Awesome DJ for our wedding

Multiple guests complimented us on our DJ Dave . His music selection was perfect for our event. He read the crowd and played the appropriate music to get our guests on the dance floor.

So Much Fun

We loved Jul Big Green ! He kept our dance floor packed the ENTIRE night, and all our guests raved about our entertainment. We special requested the shout song to be transitioned into the Buffalo Bills shout song (which isn’t a standard CLE song) and he executed it flawlessly. It was our favorite dance floor moment of the night. So glad we had Jul Big Green and we’d recommend him again and again!

The dance floor was alive all night!

DJ Larry picked perfect music for cocktail hour and dinner and helped us stay on track with our timeline. He picked the perfect songs to keep the dance floor packed all night long!! He was very receptive to notes about our music taste and family traditions, and made sure our reception was a good time from start to finish!

DJ Tyson was the best

DJ Tyson Stiles was the best DJ for our wedding . He took requests, within reason, and made sure to put our preferences above everyone else. We didn’t give him a large list to play but he expanded off that and had a great blend of music throughout the whole evening!

Fantastic Vendors!

The Bearded DJ and the photo booth coordinator kept the night so fun! The DJ organized multiple meetings to go over the wedding itinerary, timing of various events, and song suggestions. He tailored the music to what we requested!

The photo booth coordinator was so fun and lively – everyone had a blast with her!!

An Excellent Hype Man and DJ!

DJ Edward G was amazing at our wedding! He was able to get all our guests on the dance floor and keep the party going. We are so glad we chose to have a member of CMG at our wedding. DJ Edward G was nice to work with, talk to, and listened to our special requests very well. We are so pleased with how our wedding entertainment turned out!

A Great DJ and Performer!

DJ Chris Hatton went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted. He communicated with us ahead of time to talk about our music preferences and made sure the dance floor was bopping the whole night. He also did a good job with handling requests from our guests and checking with us on what we wanted to hear. Chris also performed during our ceremony and impressed both us and our guests with his musical talent. All our guests had great things to say about the music at our event!

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!!

Mo was outstanding. He created the mood and background vibe that we were hope for.

Our guests thoroughly enjoyed Mo’s music . Not only is he an accomplished musician with a great repertoir of songs, but he’s also very personable and interacted wonderfully with our guests in a very low key, accommodating way.

Great music!!

The Avenue was incredible! They played the perfect variety of songs that kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. They could have kept playing an additional hour and the dance floor still would have been full. The singers were amazing and the entire band was upbeat and really fun! We would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

Mo Andrews played at my daughter’s ceremony and cocktail hour. His singing and playing acoustic guitar was a great change of pace from the typical string quartet. His voice is beautiful and our guests really enjoyed him!

Fantastic Band

The Edge band is fantastic. Played the best songs for our corporate event. We received the best feedback and will be hiring them back in the future. 10/10!

Crowd Favorite!!

The Firelands Jazz Trio was exactly what we were looking for our event!! The music was fantastic, the band was great to work with, and our guests had the best time. Booking and scheduling was super easy and the CMG team was so helpful. We were so pleased with how everything went and we will definitely be working with CMG in the future!!

The Orchestra is a great band! Excellent variety of music, professional sound, excellent vocalists! Especially enjoyed the horns briefly joining the dancing guests.

More than we ever could have dreamed of for a band

We and our guests NEVER left the dance floor including the breaks. I really appreciated Tiffany taking the time to meet with us and truly listened to what songs we wanted. She played our exact playlist during The Avenue’s breaks and it was so much appreciated.

We danced all night!

The Radiate Live band played a mix of music that kept everyone dancing and having fun all night. People are still talking about it weeks later. We were very happy with the choice we made!

Fantastic DJ, Fantastic Night

I am a lover of music and had a very particular idea of the playlist and musical style I wanted. After a few bad interviews with DJs, I was about ready to just play music off my phone for my wedding, which would’ve been insane! I’m so glad I found DJ Judi because she took ALL of my requests into consideration and had great suggestions on how to make the flow of the music even better. She had amazing energy the entire time. She was also so classy and cute. I would use her for other events. So worth every penny! I can’t recommend enough!

My husband and I love The Sunrise Jones band ! We have watched them perform many times in the past and they did not disappoint when it came to performing at our wedding. We highly recommend booking this band and we thank the Cleveland Music Group for making it happen!

We had The Element perform at our wedding. We had so much fun communicating with Erin prior to the big day and planning our reception. She is easy to work with and organized. I love that the band has a wide variety of songs they can play. The performance by the Element was exceptional! We had so many people on the dance floor and hardly anyone left the event early. We had multiple guests ask for the name of the band for future events- we received so many compliments. The band exceeded our expectations, and we cannot express how appreciative we are. We would love to hire them again in the future if we have an event.

Excellent music!

Carr and Custy were perfect for my parents 50th Anniversary party! I had listened to some of the samples on the Cleveland Music Group website which gave me an idea of their music. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was exactly what I wanted to compliment the party. But when they were live at the party – SO MUCH BETTER! I was SO happy and it was such a nice addition to the party. My parents loved it, as it was a surprise addition to the party they did not know about. They were great!! I was so happy I booked them.

DJ London Bridges rocked the house!

DJ London Bridges made it fun by building up some anticipation for our “grand” entrance. We had a great time dancing the night away!

Cleveland music group put together a fabulous trio of musicians for our recent engagement party. The Element Trio was fabulous and everyone thought it was amazing. The choice of music and balance of old and new was great. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you

They were great the dance floor was full the whole time The Element was playing. I would recommend them them to anyone. Erin was so energetic and also her band members, it was non-stop entertainment. It took us as parents to convince my daughter to go with a band instead of a DJ and she is so glad that she did. Nothing but compliments the whole night from all who attended the wedding.

Our guests loved the entertainment!

London Bridges and We are the Radio brought the energy and vibes we wanted to our wedding. Their positive energy, kind vibes and talent aligned perfectly with what we wanted on our wedding day! We would hire them again!

Where Did You Find That Band!?

It’s a month later and our guests are still talking about “the band.” As the bride and groom, we knew what you were made of having auditioned you at one of your prior wedding gigs. On our day, The ‘A’ Band was even better! The strolling sax player during cocktail hour nailed it! He was seen and heard in all areas of the venue while respecting volume and people’s space. The band caught our vibe for musical fun interacting with our guests, jamming out on the dance floor, leading a conga line, and joining in on a line dance! The dance floor was never empty. Even non-dancers came out on the floor! Some said “I forgot how fun it was to dance!” Other shout outs: “that band is tight,” “that’s the best wedding band I’ve ever heard,” and, “where did you find that band!?”

Rooftop Wedding

DJ PJ did an incredible job for our wedding. We met a couple weeks before our wedding and shared with PJ our vision and kind of music we wanted to hear. We even wanted to do something very specific for our reception intros and he was really flexible and made it work! All night the music was great and our guests of all ages were dancing. Any questions he had he would ask us before playing the song, and any last minute requests we had he made sure to squeeze them in. Our guests also mentioned how fun the music was after the wedding! We would recommend PJ to any of our friends/family that are in need of a DJ for an event.

Great Choice

We selected Firelands Jazz Trio and Evelyn Wright as the vocalist for our wedding celebration and we couldn’t be more pleased. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and Evelyn is an outstanding vocalist. They were very accommodating and provided the perfect sound for our afternoon reception.

Amazing Wedding Band!

The Avenue did an amazing job performing at our wedding. They kept our guests dancing all night long, and the energy was great from start to finish. Tons of our guests told us how much they loved the band, and it was a true highlight of our wedding reception. Strongly recommend!

Only small issue was that some of the timings were off for the first dance and the father-daughter dance. But that wasn’t a huge deal in the grand scheme of things.

Our guests had the best party of their lives thanks to the amazing live music performed by The Avenue . Truly, all of our wedding guests were raving about the band. We had a full dance floor at all times. Would hire them again in a heart beat!! Also Tiffany was so wonderful and helpful to work with. Such a joy!

Best day Ever!!!!

WOW! The music was exceptional in every way! The string quartet was playing during guest arrival as well as for the processional and recessional! It was true magic, and exactly what my daughter had envisioned for her wedding day! Truly BEAUTIFUL!

DJ Chris was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The dance floor was literally packed the entire evening right up until the last note of the last song! We can’t thank them enough for making the wedding even better than we ever could have imagined!

The most fun you’ll have

I hired The Element for both my wedding and The Elliot’s grand opening and I am not overexaggerating when I say they make the party. The talent and energy they bring truly elevate any event. They know exactly how to keep the audience engaged by reading the room and playing what you want to hear. Erin is so easy to work with and I can’t recommend The Element enough. I can’t wait to get them back to The Elliot.

CLE Music Groups Throws a Fun Party!

DJ London Bridges brought out all the stops to make sure that guests had a great time! He was personable and energizing. Booking with Cleveland Music Group was easy, and they go the extra mile to make sure you and your guests have a fun party!

Best night ever and Music was key!

The Sonata Strings played for our daughter’s wedding ceremony and they were wonderful. She chose contemporary music (Make You Feel My Love and Can’t Help Falling in Love) and both instrumentals sounded great. Easy to walk down the aisle to and also very recognizable. Plus very emotional, of course. They played as people arrived, during the processional and recessional – everything was beautiful.

The Orchestra played for our reception and the band was outstanding. Every song had people on the dance floor and the energy was super high. Especially fun is the surprise (for the guests) when the horn players come out onto the dance floor amid the guests. Someone started a long conga line and it was a riot. Our wedding was a Jewish one and so the traditional circle dance, the Hora, is really important. The Orchestra nailed it and our dancing went on for a long and celebratory time. They knew exactly how to get everyone moving and dancing, and were great about anticipating the bride and groom (and scary but true, the parents) being lifted in chairs while everyone circled around. When they took breaks they had great music ready to go so there was never a quiet moment on the floor (except for slower songs requested by the bride and groom). Our guests commented all night about the “great band” and especially our out-of -town guests were thrilled to learn it was a local band. I would recommend The Orchestra without any reservation!

Incredible!

K Street went above and beyond our expectations! Kyle was very receptive to everything we had to say. I don’t think any of us or our guests left the dance floor for the 4 hours they played. Thank you for being such a big part in our big day!

So talented! And easy to work with.

The Sonata Trio was extremely accommodating and sounded so lovely. All of the guests would not stop talking about what a treat it was to have them with us.

Blown away!!

I strongly believe that music is what really makes a wedding (or any party for that matter) and The Element delivered in every way possible. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests raved about how incredible the music was. Many commented that it was the best wedding they had ever been to and the band was a huge contributing factor. The vocals were incredible, the horns were a great added touch, and the setlist was AWESOME! Erin Rossi, who coordinated with us, was incredible to work with. She’s a great communicator, took time to listen and understand our goals, and build a set list that matched our vibe perfectly. On top of that, she was an awesome emcee that set the tone of the night from the first moment she spoke. We also used Cleveland Music Group for ceremony audio and a photo booth, both of which were handled flawlessly. If you want a vendor that is a wedding expert and will give you peace of mind, and a band that will blow your guests away with a diverse set list and sheer talent, look no further than CMG, Erin Rossi and The Element.

The best DJ we could’ve imagined!

WOW! So Octavio and I had a different DJ booked, but 24 hours before our wedding that DJ cancelled and DJ Edward G stepped in. We were nervous because Octavio is Mexican and I am American and we needed someone who could combine the two cultures. DJ Edward G was stepping into a new situation but took it on like a champion and I don’t think there was a dull moment and the dance floor was always full! Our guests loved all the music pleasing both cultures and all generations. We could not be more happy with our experiences with him and would recommend him to anyone needing a DJ for any type of event!

DJ Cadence was awesome!!

DJ Cadence was absolutely amazing!!! She flexed to the vibe of the crowd, played exactly what we wanted at the exact perfect time and interacted with everyone as if she were a member of our family! If we ever need a DJ again, we’ll specifically request her!

Great experience!

We hired DJ Evan Foltz and absolutely loved the experience. It was easy to communicate with Cleveland Music Group and Evan. Evan was always willing to work with us and answer any questions. Evan played exactly what we were looking for and the guests had a great experience dancing the night away!

Exceptional Service

DJ Judi was one of the best decisions we made at our wedding. I had very little expectations for the dance floor because I wasn’t sure if my family or friends would dance. I was wrong, almost everyone was on the dance floor and it’s because of Judi! I got nonstop compliments about how awesome the music was from all my guests. You can’t go wrong with DJ Judi!

Very professional

DJ Jordan was enthusiastic, professional and very friendly. He did a great job!

Dave Listened & Delivered!

From the start, Dave was a pleasure to work with! He brought positive energy each time we corresponded via email, when we met to discuss music, & finally on the big day. Dave provided guidance, but never pushed. It’s clear he is a master of his craft & was able to appeal to our tastes, while also keeping everyone at the wedding happy & having a great time! Dave told us how he’d check for cues (from those dancing & sitting) as to what was happening / how the party was moving and adjust. That was a great for us & we did notice his constant attentiveness before, during, & after the ceremony. Don’t look further, pick DJ Big Dave!

DJ Chris was fantastic! The next day so many people reached out to us about how great of a DJ he was. A friend of ours suggested we use Chris for our wedding day and we are so glad they did. Chris understood the music we wanted at the wedding and played a great mix that kept everyone on the dance floor.

DJ Marc was so good about pronunciation of names and keeping on track of the evening. We also had a traditional Russian/Ukrainian event with very little time to prepare and Marc knocked it out of the park! I also really enjoyed how he taught a few dance steps to everyone. Thank you Marc!

An Amazing Band and an Amazing Night

I’ll start off by saying that Erin made the entire process of booking The Element and planning the event extremely seamless. It was an absolute pleasure working with Erin and our reception would not have been the same without The Element band.

Adam and I received endless comments from our guests on how amazing The Element was and we couldn’t agree more – their singing and music kept the party going!

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. DJ London Bridges was excellent and we definitely recommend him!

Chris was great. He played music that pretty much kept everyone moving the whole night.

Everyone had a great time. The music DJ Chris Wallace played were songs that everyone enjoyed. I don’t recall a time when there wasn’t anyone dancing.

DJ Gaz rocks!

DJ Gaz did a great job of helping orchestrate our wedding day. His music was excellent throughout the whole event, and he was very pleasant to work with. We definitely recommend him.

We Wanted a Party – We Got a Party

When my husband and I were planning our wedding, we wanted our guests to have the best night of their lives where everyone could let loose on the dance floor. That’s exactly what we got from DJ Eric Smith . He instantly got the vibe we were looking for – unexpected bops, disco funk, a little early 2000s alternative, and even “a little bit alexis” from Schitt’s Creek. We appreciated that he mixed the songs, so we were able to pack in a lot of hits and keep the guests interested. My husband and I forgot to eat our own wedding cake because we were having so much fun dancing.

The best highlight of the night was when Eric teamed up with the photographer, told everyone to gather in a circle, and put on their phone flashlights. We had no idea what was happening. Then, he started playing “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” and everyone went wild. We absolutely loved it, and so did our guests.

We heard from multiple people – guests young and old – that this was the most fun that they had in well over two years. Thank you to Eric for the night of our lives!

Packed Dance Floor all night

DJ Eric did an amazing job delivering the best music to keep the party going. We had 217 guests at our wedding and very few people were not dancing and having a good time. He played songs that all age groups knew. In addition, he did a great job as the MC for our reception. He stayed on schedule, organized the wedding party and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. I cannot thank him enough for the best night of our lives!

Amazing night of music and fun!

The Element Band and Nate Jones (guitarist) were both integral parts to making my daughter’s wedding amazing! Nate played during the ceremony and cocktail hour and he nailed it! All the songs were correct and his professionalism and playing and singing ability was so good! The Element was beyond our expectations as well. Erin and the rest of the band had the crowd on the dance floor all night long. The music, singing voices and horns were incredible. Several guests asked me for the name of the band so they could use them. The communication before and during the event with CLE Music Group and both The Element and Nate Jones was clear and consistent. We would use them all again! Perfection!

We booked DJ JT for the cocktail hour of our event. We received MANY compliments about the music during and after the event.

Our staff will definitely be keeping him in mind for future events!

Fantastic Wedding Band

I cannot say enough good things about The Avenue band ! We loved them! Our guests were raving! Every song that they played was amazing. They were so gracious to learn a song for the bride and grooms first dance that wasn’t on their set list. Every singer had a great voice and the musicians were fabulous. We are from DC, and this band can go head to head with any of the top bands from DC anytime! They really elevated the night and I am so happy we found them!

Eric was very easy to work with and amazing

We loved DJ Eric !! He played the music we wanted and was very thoughtful in his music choices. Loved him!!!!

Most Epic Dinner Tunes + Dance Party EVER

Because we live in California and were planning a Cleveland wedding during the pandemic, nailing down the perfect entertainment for our event was a challenge. We are both super passionate about music, having attended thousands of live shows together over the years, and the music was something we knew we needed to get right for our guests. I mean, having a wedding at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – spectacular entertainment was expected.

After the Rock Hall crew recommended we check out CMG artists and DJs, we immediately gravitated towards DJ Cadence . Once we had the chance to connect with Michelle, we knew she was absolutely the perfect person to curate the music for our event. Not only was working with her extraordinarily easy, getting to know her throughout the process was a pleasure as well. With only two Spotify playlists, a few phone calls and text messages, she was able to put together the perfect instrumental dinner playlist and orchestrate one of the most epic post-dinner dance parties ever. She had every single guest up and dancing, NO ONE LEFT EARLY and, even with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum open for browsing, she had everyone on the dance floor getting after it. She read the vibe of the crowd and kept serving up exactly what they were looking for without taking a single request. People were even dancing up and down the escalators on their way to the bathrooms – we have some hilarious videos that we’ll treasure forever.

Several guests have already asked for her contact details to book her for their own events and we cannot wait to work with her again in the future. Extremely talented, amazing energy, very professional – cannot recommend DJ Cadence highly enough.

Everyone at the dance had a great time. DJ Jordan was energetic and had his finger on the pulse of the crowd. Students danced for 2 hours straight, and Jordan never missed a beat.

The lights and sound system were excellent and enhanced the party.

DJ Eric of Cleveland Music Group DJd our wedding , it was fantastic, and we appreciated them doing such a great job. Easy to work with, no problems but they were ready to be resourceful, and it made our wedding planning go very smooth. Thank you.

We were happy with the photo booth service . Prompt, engaging and professional!

Great wedding DJ!

DJ Gaz made our wedding day stress-free! We had one call about a month out and he took over from there!

DJ Gaz was really accessible the day of and did a great job creating cues for the audience at our ceremony. He noticed when the age and size of the guests at our wedding reception changed and adjusted the music accordingly!

Wedding Reception

The Cleveland Music Group was wonderful to work with! My husband and I got married during covid so we were having a reception on our anniversary to celebrate with our family and friends. We were able to interview a couple DJs to see who was the best fit for us. We went with DJ PJ and he was AMAZING!! We shared a few songs so he knew our taste and told him we trusted him to just roll with it. He played so many great songs from the different genres we provided and nailed it. Our guests even loved him.

The best band in Cleveland

Our guests loved the The Orchestra and having them perform is what MADE our wedding ceremony a true party! They were beyond entertaining, professional, and a blast to work with. The musicians are the best talent in Cleveland and we could not be more thankful that they were part of our big day.

Awesome DJ! Highly recommend!

Eric was an amazing DJ ! As the mother of the bride, I got so many compliments on him and the music. He definitely played to the crowd. The dance floor was packed from when the music started, until the end of the wedding reception. Great music, great guy. Thank you Eric for making the evening so much fun!

Better than I could have imagined!!

The Bottom Line was absolutely incredible!! As a professional musician myself, I have high standards for live entertainment. This band did NOT disappoint! From their easy dinner music to keeping the dance floor packed all night, and MC-ing the whole event flawlessly, they even personalized songs for me and my now husband! It was SO MUCH FUN, the band members were so kind, and it was better than I could have possibly imagined!!

How good is The Orchestra?

We had The Orchestra at all THREE of our boys’ weddings. That is how good they are!!!! Loved them. Didn’t want to get off the dance floor.

Beautiful experience

Communication during planning was excellent, everything went just as expected. Musicians were timely, skilled, followed excellent Covid precautions. The music was perfectly presented and very well received. Would HIGHLY recommend Cleveland Music Group and Sonata Strings to anyone looking to hire musicians.

The Element was the most amazing band for our daughter/son in law wedding ! Erin and her crew were fabulous and kept the reception hopping and entertained. Dance floor was packed the entire evening. All the guests commented on how fabulous they were! They were a pleasure to work with 💕

The perfect wedding Dj!

DJ BAM was awesome! He was responsive and helpful from the start of our first meeting until the end of the wedding! He kept the dance floor full all night and made sure there were songs for everyone!

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful wedding dj!

Great time!

DJ James Fruits was awesome!! Guests loved the mix of live music during dinner time. James was very easy to work with leading up to the event, and checked in with us throughout the night to make sure everything was going well. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!

Eric is a great DJ and we highly recommend him!

DJ Eric was fantastic and delivered exactly what we wanted for the music. He handled our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and we loved all of it. We had a final talk with him a couple of weeks before the wedding about specific songs and the atmosphere we wanted during each portion of the evening. He listened, found the exact versions of songs we wanted, and gave his professional advice. For example, we were not going to do our first dance until later in the evening, but he recommended moving it to the beginning after we were announced and that was the right move! It helped us to have a big moment when everyone was attentive and felt more special. Eric has a laid back style and focuses on the music, he’s not an over-the-top MC. He did special requests and had a good sense for the flow of the music from song to song. Our dance floor was always packed! We had so much fun and so did our guests, several commented on the music specifically! Eric is a great DJ and we highly recommend him!

The best wedding band for our special day!

We hired Radiate Live through Cleveland Music Group for our wedding and they made our day SO memorable! Not only was Cleveland Music Group extremely easy to work with, they were also very thorough and professional, which made our wedding planning so much easier. Radiate Live was unbelievable & all of our guests have been raving about them ever since. Thank you so much to both Cleveland Music Group and Radiate Live for making our day so special (and seamless)!

Outstanding Reception

DJ Christian was a last-minute fill-in and he made things work fantastically. We had a wonderful celebration.

Outstanding!!!

Brandon aka DJ London Bridges was absolutely phenomenal. We had him for our New Year’s Eve wedding and he was a crucial part of making our reception flawless. He kept our guests engaged, hyped everyone up, and knew exactly what to play. We had a few last minute requests that he executed perfectly. All everyone talks about is how our wedding was the best they’ve ever been to and that our DJ was amazing. I cannot recommend him enough. If he isn’t in your budget, make it work!!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Perfect Compliment to our CLE Wedding Celebration

DJ Eric’s music selection complimented the whole night from cocktail hour, dinner & dancing the rest of the evening. The selections made a perfect background for mingling of guests as well as selections for all to get up and dance. Eric worked with our music interests and entertained our guest throughout the whole night. Very Professional! Would highly recommend.

Understood the Assignment!!!

At the end of our wedding night, we told our DJ, Evan , that he definitely UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT. When we told him we wanted to be reminded of the early 2000s while also balancing in our parents favorite music and keep the dance floor full, he made it happen. No one sat down all night and even if they tried they all said then a great song came on and they had to party. We had the Tribe Hot Dogs show up (I surprised my husband) and DJ Evan was so great at keeping the secret and getting the party started!!! He also handled our ceremony music and everything was just what I asked for! We could not recommend DJ Evan enough!

Absolutely amazing. Our wedding was a blast. Tiffany is the best.

I cannot tell you how many people came up to us at the wedding to say the The Avenue is amazing, the band is awesome. I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful everyone was and how amazing you all sound. You all made the wedding.

We loved DJ Bill ! He played the perfect music that went along with songs we sent him. He was very easy to work with and get in touch with! He was super kind and fun! Our guests loved the songs he played! He read the room perfectly and played accordingly. We would definitely recommend Bill for any event!!

So grateful for CLE Music Group and Judi Chevrolet!

Thank you to CLE Music Group and Judi Chevrolet for volunteering their time at our annual Race to Cure Sarcoma Cleveland. This event honors those living with or battling sarcoma and gives us all an opportunity to remember those we have lost to this horrible disease. Every dollar raised goes directly to sarcoma research nationally and locally through the Cleveland Clinic Sarcoma Program. CLE Music Group has donated their time at the event with tremendous DJs who help us make the event go smoothly. Judi Chevrolet has served as our DJ the last several years and she does a tremendous job. Great music and helps us move the event along smoothly! So thankful for their time and help!!

Match City made the night

Working with Cleveland Music Group was easy from start to finish. Eric was easily accessible through email and phone and was always friendly and quick to respond with questions. The Match City band members- Bobby, Daniel, Dan, and Adam- were all amazing. I sent them my timeline and they followed it exactly. Their set was fantastic- and our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was! Working with Cleveland Music group and Match City was the best decision we could make for our wedding. We can’t thank you guys enough!!!

All around amazing

DJ Chris is amazing. We first encountered him at a friends wedding in 2019 and it was a blast. I’m SO happy he was available for our wedding! He was so easy to communicate with and was so accommodating with our requests. Several guests commented on how great he was and how awesome the music was. He was extremely on point and organized and made the night so much fun. I would recommend him over and over again. Thank you for making our night so special!

Beautiful Ceremony Music

We are so glad we chose to go with live music for our wedding ceremony. It was beautiful and the Sonata String Trio was extremely helpful and were able to play a variety of different songs, which we liked. Our guests enjoyed the music as well! We highly recommend using The Cleveland Music Group!

Erin and company were terrific!!!!

Everyone thought The Element was great!!!! Lots of talent! Dance floor was packed up until last song! Thank you!

Dancing All Night Long

Dan was such an amazing DJ! He kept my husband and I updated with the plans for the evening and kept the party going all night long.

Dan worked with us before the wedding to understand our goals and the type of music we enjoyed. He did a great job incorporating a good number of songs we requested, the guests requested, and his own picks to keep the party moving.

My husband and I had such an amazing time dancing with our family and friends all night. The dance floor was so busy all night that people didn’t even come off for the late night snacks or desserts because they were having such a great time dancing!

I would 100% recommend Dan. He even did a great job incorporating some last minute updates into the evening.

DJ Brian Sulak Kept Us Dancing All Night Long!

We hired DJ Brian Sulak for our October 23 wedding in western NY. We got so many compliments on our music, which was a great mix of classic hits and more recent Top 40. We had a semi-complex audio set up between our ceremony, dinner reception, and dancing parlor and adjusting our quote and set up with Cleveland Music Group was quick and easy to do. We appreciated their flexibility! I will also say that we had a pretty long “do not play” list and I felt that it was adhered to, which I know was probably no small feat for a wedding DJ. Thanks, Brian!

Flannel Planet was awesome! Great guys, sounded great, very polite, nice guys, good mix of songs… my clients loved them and will plan on using them again.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!

We hosted our sons wedding in our backyard, 100+ people and cannot express enough what a fantastic job DJ Cadence (Michelle Dangerfield) and Cleveland Music Group did to make this a spectacular event. Michelle did a great job of keeping things organized and moving along without being obtrusive to the event. Her interactions with the guests, the playlists and announcements far exceeded our expectations. Our guests couldn’t say enough about what a great time they had. The Halo (photo) booth provided by CMG is a “MUST HAVE” for any celebration. It’s a great added piece to any party and really gets your guests involved and having fun. If you’re planning an event and looking for fun, good times and creating lasting memories…. I would HIGHLY recommend Cleveland Music Group and particularly DJ-Cadence!! Thank you so much!

A magical touch!

Sonata Strings was just the touch we didn’t know we needed to make our day truly magical. Our wedding ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without the sentimental touch of the strings, and their presence elevated the experience of our garden cocktail hour. Our guests fell in love!

And beyond their performance, they were very professional and reliable, playing every song on cue as we had discussed (processionals and recessional). They even knew just what to do when something went wrong – during our ceremony the bridal party got delayed, but they saved the day and replayed the song until the bridal party was able to catch up.

We couldn’t recommend Sonata Strings more – they’re a MUST for any wedding ceremony!

DJ Evan did an amazing job for our wedding. He was able to incorporate all types of music we wanted. He offered some good suggestions on how to fill time with music. Highly recommended.

We loved our DJ!

Eric Smith (The Bearded DJ) was fantastic as a disc jockey and as an Emcee. He played all of the songs we asked for and kept the party dancing. The wedding stop time came too fast and we all wanted to keep dancing. My now wife wanted everyone to do a fun charades game that we set up at each table. She asked Eric to make an announcement and he made a hilarious one that really got people involved. I also asked for a special song that would mean a lot to my parents and friends for a friend they recently lost. Eric gave a sincere announcement about the friend and played the song at the perfect time. It meant the world to my parents. Thank you again Eric for all of your work at our wedding!

The Element made our evening! Erin was so easy to work with, kind, professional, and talented (as was the whole band). Our guests were on the dance floor the entire time. Don’t hesitate to book this group! So glad we did!

Love and Perfection

DJ London Bridges took care of us like we were his family. He was personable and knew how to interact with the crowd with his storytelling. He kept our guests laughing and on the dance floor the whole night. We are beyond thankful of the ever-lasting memories that were made that night due such amazing entertainment from DJ London Bridges! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! #Love & #Perfection

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!

Packed dance floor!

DJ Christian Dela Vega was a huge hit at our wedding! The dance floor was packed from the first song until the last song. He played songs we wanted to hear and songs we didn’t know we wanted to hear. People commented all night and the days after how amazing our DJ was. DJ Christian kept the party going all night and made it impossible to step away from the dance floor. We have already been recommending him to all our friends and we really hope to attend another event where he is the DJ.

Amazing Wedding Band

Our guests are still talking about how amazing The Avenue was! Tiffany was so organized and gave great recommendations for the flow of our reception. The band had a great selection of all genres and had most of our guests dancing all night. I would highly recommend them for an event and it was a wonderful experience working with them. Thank you for everything !

Best Wedding Band Ever

The Bottom Line Band was the perfect choice for our wedding reception. Stan, the band’s leader, served as our emcee, and his smile and personality added to the joy of our event. Stan has an incredible singing voice, and his female vocalist was equally outstanding. In fact, when she sang an Aretha Franklin song, she sounded just like Aretha herself! The instrumentalists in the band were top-level professionals who played traditional pieces, jazz, rock, pop, motown, polka – every style one would want in a wedding band. Stan was a pleasure to work with because he was kind, considerate, flexible, and patient with our reception schedule. Many guests remarked to me afterwards about our great choice for a live band for our daughter’s wedding. Thank you to Stan and his band for an unforgettable evening of dancing fun. Since I am, myself, a career musician and music teacher, it was especially important to me that our wedding band be the best. And it was!

Danced all night!

Jul was awesome! The dance floor was full nearly the entire night! Jul was awesome at reading the crowd and mixing up the music to get everyone out on the floor. Jul was also super helpful as we were planning, taking our favorite genres and artists and creating a playlist that we loved. Having Jul take the lead on specific song choices took a lot of pressure off of us while planning the rest of the wedding. Jul also received compliments from many of our guests, about the music he was playing, his wardrobe, and awesome light up glasses. I’m so happy we chose DJ Jul Big Green !

Fantastic services!

DJ Matt Gaz was awesome! He was super easy to work with and accommodated all our requests even some last minute changes. He played hit after hit and the dance floor was jam packed entire night! We’re so thankful for him making it a night we’ll never forget!

Chris Wallace is an excellent DJ

DJ Chris was an integral part of our wedding reception and we believe he did an amazing job. He is very cool, calm, and collected, which is what you need when you have so much on your plate during the entire wedding day. Our guests were pleased with the music selections and several told us this was the best wedding they’ve ever attended! People were sad they had to leave the dance floor when our reception came to a close.

The Avenue played at 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 The Avenue for making our night so special!

Tyson was the perfect DJ for our wedding ! He is fun, classy, and matched the vibe of our wedding perfectly. I can’t recommend him enough.

We had so many people come up to us and tell us how amazing the band (RadioActive) was and how energetic the dance floor was the entire night! We didn’t sit down the entire night because we couldn’t stop dancing!

DJ Big Dave was fantastic! He really played songs that were special to us and kept the dance floor packed all night! He was so sweet and fun! Our guests loved him! We would highly recommend him for other weddings!

Thank you!!

DJ Chris Wallace came with a great referral, and exceeded all my expectations! From start to finish he kept our dance floor full, and I can honestly say we have never had more fun! Our reception music was important to me, and Chris made the whole process simple, and made sure we felt heard during the planning stage. I cannot thank him enough!

Best “Wedding Band” Ever!

We celebrated our Daughter’s wedding (Cody and Danielle Mizerik) this weekend at the St. Clair Ballroom with The Element Band . Erin, Tony and the crew were simply amazing! No one wanted to leave the dance floor all night long. Erin is a terrific MC and made our wedding so much FUN. They were able to accommodate all our special requests and we felt like they were playing for family. Highest compliment ever in my book. Erin went above and beyond to help us make this wedding perfect through all the challenges of Covid, postponement and rescheduling. I feel like I have a forever friend and hope I get to attend another wedding with them. Book The Element with 100% confidence you just picked the best wedding band in Cleveland!

Dj Gaz was a great go with the flow DJ. He knew exactly what the guest wanted!!

OUR FAVORITE!

DJ London Bridges ( Brandon ) was not only the DJ who brought the party… But an absolutely amazing person who added positivity, laughter and good energy to our big day. We are so fortunate to have someone care about us so deeply during our day after just meeting us!!!! Thank you for making our day so perfect!!

Thank you for an outstanding wedding reception performance!

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!

FANTASTIC!!!

We loved working with DJ Eric Smith . We loved that the meetings were short and to the point. We appreciated that he followed the do not play list, no requests and that he played the must play list. He kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night and really knew how to read the crowd. Would highly recommend and would chose him again!

Scott, we appreciated how responsive you were to all our requests and emails!

Keeps You Dancing

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.

Perfect from start to finish!

DJ Eric absolutely nailed the music for our wedding! From cocktail hour through dinner and of course dancing, the music was phenomenal from start to finish and he played perfectly to our tastes and requests. I care a LOT about music and was nervous about finding the right DJ, and I can say wholeheartedly that Eric will not disappoint!

Beautiful Ceremony

The Sonata Strings were incredible. We used the trio and received many compliments from our guests on the quality of their play as well as their great selection of songs. We truly felt like it elevated our event and made it feel so classy. Would highly recommend them!

The Perfect Night

The entire evening went off without a hitch. Having an experienced DJ in Evan Foltz allowed us to enjoy our reception rather than fearing the unexpected.

We could not be happier with The Element ! All the band members are so so talented! And Erin is a wonderful emcee – she really knows how to keep the crowd excited and engaged!! We got so many compliments from our guests it was incredible! The Element just made the night so special, and we are forever grateful!

We had an exceptional experience with both Eric & Nate and highly recommend both of them!!! Throughout our planning process DJ Eric Smith was organized, communicative, professional, and easy to talk to. At our reception, he did an amazing job of keeping our dancefloor going late into the night (no one wanted to leave)!!! He also seamlessly managed our reception timeline and didn’t miss anything. We really appreciated that he could manage the crowd, help direct people at important moments, but also wasn’t over-powering or too aggressive with his presence.

Eric (maybe Nate too?) set up sound for our outdoor ceremony & reception (everyone said they could hear us, even the people in the back)!! He was even ready & able to help us figure out a last minute iPad zoom streaming setup for our officiant (which fortunately we didn’t end up needing).

Nate was also phenomenal as our ceremony musician . He was so easygoing, sweet, reliable and easy to get in touch with. And he is incredibly talented!! He was able to play every single song we wanted, including several that weren’t on his list. His singing & guitar playing impressed all of our guests, and were the absolutely perfect vibe for our ceremony in the woods. Thank you for everything!

wonderful experience

DJ Eric Smith made our night so memorable, he was a consummate professional and a delight to work with! Eric did an exceptional job of reading the crowd and made sure that everyone made it to the dance floor. It was such a special experience to watch everyone we love in one room dancing and having fun! We cannot thank Eric and the CLE music group enough for the huge role they played in making our wedding such a wonderful experience!!

Bonini/Maat Wedding

The performance of The Avenue band was outstanding. The energy in the room was ignited by the musicianship and set lists lead by Tiffany. The positive feedback from our guests were too numerous to note! Erin was also incredible to work with. Erin was always respectful and pleasant! She did not miss a beat and she always responded in a timely manner. Lastly, DJ Hector was a pleasure to work with and he complimented the event very nicely. Thank you all for making the wedding as perfect as possible.

Scott Jones did an amazing job as DJ for our daughter’s wedding . The dance floor was filled all night and he did a fabulous job with introductions and announcements. He made sure the reception ran exactly like the bride and groom wanted, including providing specialty lighting and audio equipment for the ceremony. We had booked CLE Music Group in 2019 but due to COVID had to postpone the wedding. Scott was extremely responsive during the 2 years plus between booking and the event. We so very much appreciate his contribution to the Best Day Ever!

DJ Eric kept everyone on the dance floor all night! He was kind and professional and got everyone set up before the ceremony to ensure the microphones worked and were clipped on properly. He was responsive in emails and phone calls before the event. I didn’t have to worry about anything when it came to day of and that was so important.

thebeardeddj – the best ever

DJ Eric was absolutely incredible to work with. He went above and beyond – helped organize our timeline, shared feedback on our seating chart to ensure we had the best sound during toasts/dancing, and of course played killer music. No one left the dance floor once the music started. Thank you for being continuously amazing (Eric was the DJ at my cousin’s and then my older brother’s weddings).

Beyond expectations

I don’t know where to begin, The A Band was incredible and blew away our highest expectations! The dance floor was completely packed and the performances were incredible to the point where I didn’t know if I was listening to the A band or the actual recording. All of our friends and families raved about the band and the amazing job on the hora that they did. Would 1000% recommend to EVERYONE. Thank you guys so much for making our wedding so special!!!

I booked Difrent Vibez Trio and they absolutely blew me (and all of our guests) away!! They were even better than I could have imagined and their energy was amazing – people were up and dancing immediately and couldn’t even stop after the reception was supposed to end.

Their band leader Tommie was super easy to work with and listened to all of my requests, and Scott through the Cleveland Music Group was extremely helpful and found us the perfect group for our wedding!!

A perfect wedding weekend with CLE providing amazing music at every step!

DJ Scott Jones played our wedding and quarterbacked the whole day for us. Scott held our hands throughout the planning process and helped us tackle many of the finer details of our wedding day. He helped with everything from coordinating between all of our musicians, laying out our run of show, helping out with our room layout and just general tips and tricks for wedding planning. He also made himself available to chat about any of our concerns, music related or otherwise, almost any day of the week when he wasn’t playing another event. I can say with full confidence we could not have pulled off our wedding day without Scott.

We had Nate Jones on guitar for our rehearsal dinner and he played an incredible, wide range of music throughout the night and helped us set up sound for speeches. He was amazingly easy to work with and made sure to be fully set up at our venue in a tight timeline with no disruption to our event.

At our wedding, Ginni Dickson provided the most beautiful music on the harp for our ceremony and Dave Kasper played sax throughout the night, with Ginni during the ceremony and with Scott during the reception. Guests were wowed by this unique combination!

Lastly, we booked DJ London Bridges for our after party. He went above and beyond in keeping our party alive and having our guests jumping up and down into the early morning hours!

Overall, I would give CLE an 11/10! Thank you Scott & team for making our weekend so incredibly special.

Wedding Ceremony/Reception

DJ Bill Bowen and the entire CLE Music Group staff were so amazing to work with. They were incredibly helpful when it came to planning our day! Any questions I had were answered in a very timely matter! Bill was our DJ and he was on it. He kept the party going and was on schedule with everything! I could not have asked for a better DJ!

DJ Bill Bowen was amazing! The music was perfect. The dance floor was full the whole time.

He was professional and so many of our guests said how much they liked him. We didn’t have to worry about a thing.

DJ Bill did an amazing job!

We worked with DJ Bill for our wedding and he did an amazing job. He took the time to meet with us and really understand what we wanted music-wise for our wedding day. He was so patient when answering all of the questions that we had for him and we could tell that he truly cared about making our day exactly how we envisioned it. He is such a nice guy too and overall just a total joy to work with. Our guests had so many positive things to say about him too!

Great Service from CLE Music and great music by Don and his trio!

I needed entertainment at the last minute, and CLE Music was able to help, and at a reasonable price! Love that Scott is carrying on the Jerry Bruno tradition of excellence in every way!

My son’s wedding was perfect from start to finish and Matt helped to make it so! He was easy to work with, fun, engaging and helped to keep things moving. Thank you to DJ Matt Gazdak and CLE music group once again for your professional, top level service!

Amazing job – literally made the wedding!

DJ Chris did so spectacular during our wedding on 8/21. Everyone was raving about the music he played, how he read the crowd, his timely announcements, minimal direction needed, etc. He played oldies music early on for the older crowd to get on the dance floor and then progressively got more into the hits later on which was perfect. His transitions, sound systems, microphones, everything was perfect for the ceremony and reception. I can’t thank him enough for making the night such a huge success!

Absolutely perfect!

We had the Sonata Strings for the ceremony and cocktail hour and they were absolutely wonderful. We received so many positive comments about the wonderful string quartet. Julie King was lovely to work with, and captured our vision for the ceremony perfectly.

DJ Eric Smith was the MC and DJ for our wedding and did an incredible job. He kept the evening on pace, and played music for all ages in attendance. Even with a smaller wedding, the dance floor was full all night!

I would highly recommend both the Sonata Strings and DJ Eric Smith.

Wil Krebs (Panorama Steel Drums) was the hit of the party. Every attendee couldn’t get over how enjoyable his music was. It just set the tone for the tropical event. We didn’t even have to suggest pieces to play. He did a fantastic job and would not hesitate to hire him again.

Perfect DJ experience for our wedding

Everyone at Cleveland Music Group went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience. Everything from the initial sales emails and pre planning meeting with DJ Michael , to the event itself went smoothly. DJ Michael was professional and accommodated all of our requests. Highly recommend going with Cleveland Music Group!

I am the father of the bride who had her wedding last weekend. I talked to several of my guests before the wedding letting them know they had to go up and dance and encourage others to do the same. Match City is the BEST wedding band I have ever heard . The people I asked to get the dancing going were not necessary. Match City filled the dance floor from the beginning of the wedding to the end. They were absolutely filled with energy creating an amazing environment. I can not say enough about them and would recommend them to anyone! I will use them again without hesitation.

Wonderful evening!

Nate Jones  hung out with us at the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and cocktail hour. Wow! He has an incredible voice and set a wonderful mood at both venues. Exactly what I was envisioning. Thanks so much!

Epic Night!

Match City is an absolute top notch band who clearly specializes in keeping everyone on the dance floor! I had to ask the venue to move tables out of the way because there simply wasn’t enough space for everyone! Even the videographer and photographer made comments about the great atmosphere!

Would recommend them over and over again! Thanks guys!

The Key Ingredient to an Amazing Reception!

From the moment Brandon introduced himself via email, he was an amazing communicator and clearly listened and understood exactly the moods we wanted to create for our daughter’s wedding. He was incredible with quieting down the wedding guests to be sure they all heard and watched the wedding party introductions and speeches. He had great words to say, created a party atmosphere, and lit it up perfectly. The music never stopped from the moment of the surprise flash mob till the end.

And the dinner music…Frank Sinatra…one song after another. It could not have been any classier and everyone loved it.

If you want class and fun all wrapped up in one, DJ London Bridges is the man!!!

Michelle was fantastic!

Michelle was a fantastic DJ . She met our needs from the beginning till the end. Great set up, great lights, great sound. I would again hire Michelle for an occasion.

Awesome, thoughtful, professional DJ!

Evan Foltz was fabulous as our wedding DJ! We thought he was great from our first meeting with him; he was professional and thoughtful while giving guidance from his expertise about what makes a wedding party great. He was always available to us in the planning process and really flexible, taking suggestions and offering helpful feedback.

In terms of the day and night of, could not have gone smoother. He was on it with the sound system for all our vendors, and then made our wedding night dance floor so special! He has a natural flare for understanding the flow of a night, getting people on the dance floor, and transitioning the music as the night goes on. He went above and beyond our expectations, checked in with us the perfect amount throughout the night, and was just really kind, thoughtful, and awesome to work with. Talented DJ, couldn’t have been happier!

Phenomenal DJ – DJ London Bridges

DJ London Bridges put together a phenomenal set for my husband’s celebration of life. He took the information about the event and understood his part. He played the perfect music. He turned a sad occasion into one of celebration to honor my husband. He got on the floor to assist our family and friends with line dancing. We really enjoyed his service!

Amazing DJ!

We hired DJ Judi for our wedding and we couldn’t have picked a better DJ! Judi was absolutely phenomenal. She was great to work with ahead of the wedding, arrived on time, came with great lighting, decor, and speaker systems, and played music all day long. Our guests absolutely loved her. She read the crowd well and played a variety of music that appealed to everyone attending. She had a great system to take requests and kept the crowd engaged throughout our entire wedding. I really can’t say enough about how absolutely phenomenal Judi was. Highly recommend!

A crowd pleaser

Our guests were dancing all night and loved every minute of the Radiate Live band !

Sonata Strings did a wonderful performance at our daughters wedding. They were easy to work with and very accommodating. We used them 5 years ago for another daughters wedding and we were happy to have them again!

Erin and The Element were absolutely fantastic. Our guests were blown away and we were so so so so so pleased. The band brought so much energy from the start of the night to the end. They learned a unique song for our first dance which nearly brought us to tears. They played a set that ranged from classic wedding songs to 90s boy band music that kept everyone at the party from our youngest to our oldest guests glued to the dance floor. We continue to receive compliments on how amazing the band was and both of us agree that the band made the evening. Saying that we are happy customers is a profound understatement.

Best Band in Cleveland!

Our guests would not stop talking about how great The Avenue was. The band leader, Tiffany, was very organized day of and easy to communicate with beforehand. We are so happy with our experience!

High Energy Night!

DJ Evan far exceeded our expectations in keeping us and our guests on the dance floor the entire night and begging for an encore. Evan was so friendly, organized and accommodating throughout the planning process – we couldn’t be happier with our decision!

Rocked the house!

We loved DJ Cadence ! From the planning to the actual party, DJ Cadence was a true professional with a great, fun-loving personality! Our guests raved about her music selection and if a guest had a recommendation she made it work! We will definitely be recommending Michelle to everyone!

The Best Ever!

We feel so lucky that Scott Jones was available to DJ our wedding . The most frequent comment we hear about our wedding night goes something like this: “OMG who was your DJ? He was awesome! I’ve never had so much fun dancing at a wedding!” We 100% agree with our friends! Scott Jones absolutely killed it. He was also awesome to work with – very kind, funny, and professional. We’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented DJ in NEOH. Thank you so much for making our night so special and fun, Scott! We’re forever grateful to you!

Exceptional – just the right fit for the evening!

John Toula on guitar was well received by our guests, engaged nicely and took requests all night! He was warm, polite, professional all evening! Thank you John for adding that special touch to our event.

Made our day perfect!

Liliana the harpist worked with us before to plan our ceremony music. She was so prompt and professional. Her music was perfect for our outdoor setting for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We so appreciated working with her!

Wedding strings were great!

CLE Music Group was very easy to work with and the Sonata String Trio was BEAUTIFUL. We received many compliments from our guests.

High Energy, Efficient and Extremely Accommodating!

We used Cleveland Music Group for our wedding reception at Gervasi Vineyard. DJ Michael Alexander was impeccably organized and dedicated to making our reception perfect. He had high energy and an amazing ability to read the crowd in order to keep the dance floor crowded! He helped us keep time with a schedule of events and pre-planned with us to ensure the schedule.

He was also flexible when we presented to him the “Dash” which we wanted to implement in order to grab pictures with as many guests as possible in a short amount of time.

Michael communicated with us through emails and phone calls to be sure he understood what he wanted. Response time was always within 24 hours of time, which is very important for a bride!! I would highly recommend Cleveland Music Group to anyone looking for a DJ for any event!

Match City was a one-stop-shop. They made dinner, cake cutting, and dancing a breeze and a blast. They played a whole set for us, two hours through, making dancing absolutely perfect. They read the room, keeping everyone up and moving. All the members were so engaged, professional and just so fun to work with and dance with. They even played one more song at the end that I got to request! Couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding.

Awesome Band!

We truly enjoyed the music from The Avenue – the song selection was excellent and the musicianship was top-notch; they got people dancing and kept people dancing all night! Working with Cleveland Music Group has always been a wonderful experience – up front about costs, responsive, and everything was as negotiated.

Fabulous Entertainers

Tricky Dick and the Coverups exceeded all expectations for my daughter’s wedding. From the introductions of the bridal party to playing non-stop dance music throughout the night. The energy kept the dance floor filled. The play list appealed to all age groups and made for a memorable night. The light show was an added bonus especially against the clearspan tent. Tricky Dick made the wedding! Thank you.

Amazing Band

We could not have made a better choice for our band than The Element . Starting with the planning of the night, Erin was always responsive and extremely easy to work with. She never added any stress to the planning of our reception. She was helpful in providing suggestions when we asked, but also let us make our own decisions when we already had a plan in mind.

On to the performance, it is tough to imagine a band being better than The Element. They were absolutely amazing. We added on two horns to the original 5 piece band, which really added a depth to their sound and additional range of song choices. Every guest at our reception was raving about them. They played a wide array of songs, and even learned a new one just for us! They truly made the night special. We are extremely happy we chose The Element and would recommend them to anyone who wants a high quality band.

Always Professional and Entertaining

As always, CMG sends us the best DJs in the area. Our private membership and their guests enjoyed wonderful entertainment all day on July 4th. The pool party with DJ BAM was lively and fun. DJ Cadence kicked it up for the evening cookout and fireworks. Both were on time, great with our members (even taking requests), and easy to work with. CMG is always my first call for entertainment and talent. Thank you!

Oh, what a night!!!

We hired Erin Rossi and The Element to play at my daughter’s wedding on July 3, 2021. We hired them based on a very short demo clip, due to the pandemic. We had no idea what to expect, and we could not have been happier. Erin stayed in touch with the bride and groom throughout the planning process, answering all emails and phone calls in a timely fashion. From the moment the reception started, Erin was the ultimate emcee. She paced the evening along, making sure the bride and groom hit all the important memorable moments. The music was beyond our expectations! The Element was absolutely great and our guests were blown away by this band. The dance floor was packed the entire evening. There was not one thing The Element could have done differently to make the night more perfect for my daughter and son-in-law. We were pleased beyond words!!

Best decision we made!

We couldn’t be happier that we used The Element as our wedding band . Erin was so great to work with-organized, friendly, and easy to communicate with. The music was fantastic, they did an amazing job including our family and making it feel so personal! Choosing The Element is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

The Orchestra could not have preformed any better, the song selection and talent was so impressive. No one would leave the dance floor even at the end of the night when they finished playing. We were very happy with the performance.

DJ Judi was awesome!!!!! She exceeded my expectations!

The perfect touch

Our guests were impressed with the string quartet playing during the pre-ceremony function.

DJ Evan Foltz was a pleasure to work with during the planning process, as well as on the day of our wedding. He did a great job selecting appropriate ceremony music. He played everything we wanted for dinner hour/reception, but also used our list to add additional tunes to keep the crowd rocking and energized.

Exceeded Expectations

We had Tricky Dick play for my daughter’s tented wedding. They absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the introductions to wrapping up the party they exuded professionalism and high energy. Our dance floor was packed from the time they started till we shut down the party. The band attracted all age groups and was super engaged with the bridal couple and their guests. I don’t know how four guys produced such a multi-dimensional sound. The light show added a wow factor to our clear span tent. Highly recommend Tricky Dick for your event!

10/10 Service

Mike was the best DJ that we could ever ask for! He went above and beyond for us and made our day even more special than we could have ever imagined!

Wonderful Job

DJ Bill was fantastic! He catered the music to our audience. He did a custom father daughter dance for us that could not have gone better! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ!

Great set of music, very independent

I didn’t have a lot of requests, so DJ Bill was on his own to make the music list. He did an awesome job! People were dancing all night long and clearly having a great time. He also provided music for the ceremony, which was very straightforward to get what I was looking for. The company also made it very easy to book & ask questions.

June wedding

We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end! Our original wedding date had to be moved because of the pandemic. DJ Scott was so accommodating and we could not thank him enough for working with us! Complete professionals. He kept the dance floor packed all night and rolled with any request or change we made throughout the night! A class act and we would highly recommend to anyone in the future! Thanks for a great night!

The DeWitt/Bruin Wedding

The Avenue was phenomenal! They immediately took over from introductions thru the entire evening. The dance floor was packed! They truly made the evening! Cannot say enough good things about them and everyone we had contact with during the last 18 mos.

Consider yourself lucky to have them at your event!

Best Night Ever

Our DJ, Tyson , did an amazing job at our wedding. He was so easy to work with and has a great personality. He faded songs perfectly and kept the party going. I didn’t give any direction except read the room and he did just that! We had guests on the dance floor the entire night! He always asked me before playing requests by other guests. It was the best night ever.

Wonderful addition to our special day!

DJ Eric did an amazing job to enhance our big day! He is an awesome spokesperson and excellent musician. He captured our musical taste and played great songs that not we but our guests enjoyed. Eric played a huge part in making our day perfect!

2nd time booking The Avenue

This is the second time that we used The Avenue , for our daughter’s weddings. We will definitely use them for our third daughters wedding. We had four date changes and one venue change and they made every effort to work with us and accommodate our needs. Real crowd pleaser.

The Element was phenomenal! We are a family of musicians and could not have been more pleased with the Element’s performance. Our guests raved about the music. Erin’s voice is amazing and she’s a great MC. Tony Koussa Jr and the rest of the instrumentalists are fantastic! The music selection was wonderful during dinner and throughout the rest of the evening. All evening, the volume of the music was perfect, fully filling the room, yet people could still hold a conversation. The dance floor was full all night. This is a group of professional musicians and it shows! Everyone has a budget so if you have to choose between this band or extra hors d’oeuvres/fancy flowers, choose the band. They really made the reception a party!

DJ Cadence rocked the party

Michelle Dangerfield, aka DJ Cadence , was the best wedding DJ we could have ever asked for. Before our wedding, she worked closely with us and gave us tips on the music and audio plan. During the wedding, she handled every transition flawlessly, even after we had to change some plans due to weather. When it came time for the reception, DJ Cadence kept the dance floor bumping all night long. She even came out on the dance floor herself to teach us a few dances. Overall, she went above and beyond to make our wedding awesome. We recommend her to everyone.

DJ PJ Knows What’s Up!

DJ PJ was the perfect fit for our wedding! From start to finish, he understood our music taste and really created the perfect playlist. Day of our wedding, he made sure to check in with us before the ceremony to see if we needed anything. He even helped cue me, the bride, on when to walk down the aisle since we were wrapping around a building. DJ PJ paid close attention to each detail and made sure to read our last name and bridal party’s names correctly when we were announced. With the number of compliments we got from our friends and family about how the reception went too, we’ll definitely be recommending him to everyone for their future events! I could not ask for a better DJ for our wedding!

Entire Night of Fun

Everyone came up and complimented us on having The Element play, and one of Anna’s bridesmaids who is engaged even asked for the band’s information for her own wedding. We had people of all ages on the dancefloor from the time the music began until the band finally had to unplug their speakers! Erin, who is the band singer and MC, was absolutely wonderful in her own right. We felt like we had an extra coordinator when working with Erin (in a good way!), and she mentioned ideas/processes that we hadn’t even thought of. Also, the band was able to handle music of all variety, including Jewish wedding songs. Everything was truly perfect.

Excellent emceeing and music selection

DJ Scott Jones did a fantastic job in emceeing the wedding and selecting the music for all aspects of the evening. His personality and interaction style made the guests feel welcome and his ability to read the crowd and play the music they enjoyed was excellent. I would not have changed anything. Well done.

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!

Loved my DJ!

DJ Eric Smith was great! He played exactly what we asked! He really understood the vibe we were going for!

Branding Launch Event

We had DJ Christian Dela Vega for our recent re-brand and launch event. This event was well attended and everyone had a really great time! Christian had a good range of music and kept everyone involved throughout the event. We would highly recommend Christian for any event! Thanks again!

We are the Radio was amazing! DJ London Bridges was an awesome MC and set the tone of our wedding from the very beginning with an upbeat exciting vibe. The band kept all our guests of all ages on the dance floor all night and were super interactive. It was like being at a concert. I wish I could do it all over again!

The music for our wedding ceremony and reception was perfect! Sonata Strings did a beautiful job during our ceremony! DJ Evan Foltz listened to us, and made the music selection process so easy! We had so much fun dancing all night! Our guests loved the music and fun atmosphere! Thank you CLE Music Group!

Organized and friendly!

I thought Dave Eubanks was a great DJ ! He played the music that we wanted and also had great working microphones that didn’t die and fade out during the speeches. He catered to what we wanted during the night as he had the pre planning meeting to make sure any last minute changes. He was awesome!

Everyone loved the DJ

DJ Eric Smith was great! He listened to what we wanted for our wedding and everyone was on the dance floor. Multiple guest commented on how great the DJ was.

The Avenue Made our Covid Wedding the Best Day Ever!

Wow! The Avenue band 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! 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!!

Ginni the harpist helped make our wedding ceremony classy and elegant. Everyone enjoyed listening to the harp, and it was exactly what we were looking for!

Huge Thank you to Eric Smith, the Bearded DJ!

Last September we attended a wedding that Eric was the DJ for , and we knew right then that he had to be at our Wedding this year!

Even with all the crazy uncertainty of COVID, Eric kept our the party going all night long, and our guests had a blast! Huge appreciation as Eric helped make our wedding the best night ever and a memory we won’t forget!

Highly Recommend!

Due to COVID19, we had many changing plans and shifting around of vendors. Scott Jones was wonderful to work with, and he quickly helped my husband and I get connected with a new DJ after we cut the size of our wedding from 250 to 50 people. Scott connected us with Chris Wallace through the “Best Choice DJ” package.

Chris set up a time for us to connect over the phone, and answered all my questions. He had an easy form to fill out that listed our must plays/do not plays, order of events, first dance songs, special songs, etc. Chris was great to work with, and directed me to his Spotify account where I was able to listen to examples of cocktail hour/dinner music, and I was able to get a better understanding of what we would like for our wedding.

He did a phenomenal job with our wedding, all the formal events and keeping the dance floor rocking (even with such a small group!) We had a wonderful night, and can’t thank Chris/CLE Music Group enough! Thank you a million for helping to make our day so special!

Working with CLE Music Group has been great!!

A solo violinist was perfect for our event. Michael was very easy to work with and provided beautiful music for our Micro-Wedding!!!

DJ Cadence rocked it out!

So happy with the DJ that we got through Cleveland Music Group. We originally had a band, but covid 19 had other plans. Because the venue changed, a DJ was more appropriate. DJ Cadence kept the crowd engaged and the music at an appropriate level since it was a residential area. Highly recommend!!

Wedding Quartet

I booked The Sonata String Quartet as a surprise for my husband during the ceremony and cocktail hour. The quartet was fantastic! They were very professional and timely working up to the wedding. I’m so happy I booked them for the ceremony and happy hour. They really set the mood! Couldn’t have been happier.

DJ Eric Was a Hit!

Eric DJ’d for our wedding reception and the crowd loved it! The entire guest list seemed to constantly be on the dance floor. Eric rolls with the mood and plays songs as he sees fit. He pulled out some sneaky hits that the crowd loved and were surprised to hear. Eric is very responsive through calls and email during the planning process and the documents he had us fill out made everything flawless. I just wish we had more dance time!!

Wedding 10/10/20

DJ Eric Smith and Cleveland Music Group have been phenomenal during this crazy 2020 year. Our original date was April 18. When we reached out to reschedule they were kind and responsive. We rescheduled to 12/12/2020. When we rescheduled (again) to 10/10/2020. Everyone was awesome to work with!!

The actual event went extremely smoothly. We had an outdoor/indoor portion and DJ Eric brought all relevant equipment (extra mics, speakers). He gave us great suggestions with timing with regards to a first dance and sparkler send off. I would highly recommend.

GREAT DJ AND THE NIGHT WAS PERFECT!!!!

What else can I say other than the fact the Cleveland Music Group’s DJ Scott Jones was great and he put on a perfect night! This is the 2nd wedding we hired him for, and he was even better than the last. Thanks Scott for your tremendous effort to put on a great show!

Great quartet!

The string quartet was wonderful! A large selection of music to choose from, and we could add additional music for a small fee. Everyone was beautiful and professional.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

DJ Smoov was the best DJ I have ever seen!! He not only played amazing music but also made the entire experience incredible! He was very flexible and accommodating with all the changes we had to make because of covid. He was so personable and was very including of my family too! We will for sure have him DJ our future events to come!!

DJ Eric kept the guests on the dance floor all night! We appreciated his great taste in music.

Wedding 9/12/20

They were fantastic!!! Virginia on harp did a beautiful job for us for the wedding ceremony! DJ Evan was absolutely amazing!! He was so polite and perfect for our wedding! 10/10!!

Rossi and Romano

Rossi & Romano are wonderful, friendly, professional performers. The music was a great addition to the event. I know there were many compliments even though the music was set up inside, and eventually, most of the guests ended up outside on the deck.

WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. The Element band truly made my wedding dreams come true in so many ways. Their band leader, Erin Rossi, felt like a family member by the end of this experience. When rescheduling our wedding due to Covid she was extremely kind and flexible as she quickly re-arranged things so that we could still book them and always re-assured us it was all going to work out. When our wedding day was finally approaching, Erin was just as excited as we were… and her enthusiasm shined the entire night. It was incredible. I still have friends and family commenting on how phenomenal the band was. It was for sure the highlight of our night and the photos from the dance floor and the smiles on everyone’s faces prove it. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you to the entire Element band… that night you created the most energetic and exciting environment that made memories for us to last a lifetime and for that I will be forever grateful.

Perfection!

Throughout the night I had so many guests asking “who is this band!?” “Where did you find them!?” The A Band kept our guests engaged, were extremely professional and made the overall atmosphere a party! I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their event. Nate Jones also was absolutely perfect. I gave him specific songs and he nailed them. I was hiding in the back before walking down the aisle and I cried hearing one song, I didn’t even have to be in the room!

August 15, 2020

We had such a great wedding reception thanks to Eric and Katrina! Eric was the best DJ , highly recommended by many friends and family. Kept the crowd on the dance floor and managed the flow of the evening so well! Katrina handled the photobooth so well and everyone enjoyed themselves and we are so happy we have a keepsake from the evening!

Sam Romano was the perfect addition to the anniversary surprise!

My parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary and we hired Sam (guitar and vocals) as a surprise for an after-dinner treat. Sam is not only incredibly talented, but he is also kind and went above and beyond. I could not be more impressed with Sam and CLE music group for the exceptional service they provided.

Wonderful jazz guitar by Dan Bruce

Dan Bruce was the best choice for our Cleveland OH wedding! He provided absolutely beautiful jazz guitar music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and the live music was the perfect touch!

Sahutske/Hokavar Wedding

We loved DJ Mike ! He was awesome. He was so flexible with changes we wanted to make the day of. We had so much fun he was the best!

Caption the moment!

We were totally blown away with Cleveland Music Group! DJ Scott Jones was amazing and kept the dance floor going till late in the evening! Before the date of the wedding I was told by numerous people how lucky we were to have Cleveland Music Group as our DJ and that even more so to have Scott. That he is the best in the business and I agree totally after seeing him in action! Can’t wait to have him back!!!

Fantastic music and DJ

DJ Bill Bowen was amazing! He played the perfect variety of music and all of our guests enjoyed. I would highly recommend him and the Cleveland Music Group to anyone. It has been a challenging time, planning a wedding during the pandemic but DJ Bill along with the company itself were extremely responsive to us and were very flexible with getting everything planned.

Great Band, Great People

The A Band was truly a joy to have at our wedding. From our initial communication with Dwayne to us dancing away at the reception, The A Band was kind, professional, fun, accommodating and full life and energy. Once they started playing, I don’t think the dance floor was empty the entire night. Many of our guests have reached out saying how much they enjoyed the band and what a great sound they had, we couldn’t agree more. Thank you A Band for making our night so fun and special!

Had The Sly Band booked for our large reception. After more restrictions with covid, we decided to downsize to 32 ppl. We were disappointed with this BUT…. The A Band really stepped up! They were awesome and think they had as much fun as us! For 32 pp, we really rocked it!!

Exceeded expectations

DJ Eric exceeded our expectations —especially with our wedding taking place during the COVID pandemic. Everything went smoothly and Eric was very helpful and knowledgeable about suggestions and how to keep the flow of the event moving. He was very easy to work with and a true professional.

Special touch to our party

The guitarist was so kind and easy to work with! The guests really enjoyed his music and it brought a special touch to our Havana Nights birthday party! Thank you to Cleveland Music Group for always adding a unique element to our events! They have something for everyone and we highly recommend working with their outstanding staff!

You couldn’t ask for a better guitarist than Pete Cavano . We didn’t know exactly what songs we wanted him to play during our reception but the songs he picked based on our tastes were perfect.

His renditions of the songs we wanted for our ceremony were excellent. We needed a little filler music for part of it and what he came up with was great. Having Mr. Cavano play at our wedding was wonderful.

From the beginning, we knew we wanted Scott to be our DJ and MC for our wedding as we liked his style and humor throughout his work. He was nothing but professional, helpful, and accommodating through the process and we couldn’t have asked for more. We trusted his judgement. and based on the busy dance floor the entire night, he was on top of it! Scott was there for us through all of the excitement, worry, and then the party that was our Wedding Day. We truly appreciate all that he did to make our big day/night so memorable!

DJ Chris Wallace was a great master of ceremonies. He kept things on schedule and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! He was organized and prepared and played a great mix of everything we asked for!

Our guests were wowed by the guitarist Ty’s talent. He played a perfect set list with just a short conversation with us. He learned our wedding song- it was such a beautiful moment! Ty was amazing and highly recommend!!!

Most Fun DJ

DJ London Bridges was so fun the entire night!! He knew exactly how to get everyone moving all night. I think the best part was that he seemed like he was genuinely having fun with it too! It was so nice that he seemed to enjoy our guests, and our guests especially enjoyed him and his music style. His MC style was also incredible and hilarious! During the best man speech, there was a mention of Creed, and London Bridges didn’t even know, but he was able to pull up Creed so quick and play it on que.

This band has high energy

Could our reception music and vibe have been better? Emphatically NO! This is the second time we have used The Element for a wedding reception and we were not disappointed. Tony and the band listened to the bride and groom’s ideas and requests and followed them to a T! Once the guests got on the dance floor they never left and boy did we have a good time. I am so happy they were available for our party and will definitely call on them again.

We also used Kerry for music during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He was just the right sound for both and so easy to work with as well!

10/10 from the Sosnowski-Hyland brood

My guests loved that DJ Eric did two encore songs. The night was wrapping up but and our time slot was over, but our cheering guests wanted just a little longer and Eric happily obliged — so that was fantastic. His introductions were great and he always had fantastic timing. 10/10!

Me and my wife would like to say thank you for making our wedding ceremony such a beautiful event. A special thank you to Angelina for putting a amazing performance, it truly was one of a kind!

The BEST wedding band EVER

The Element from start to finish were EVERYTHING we wanted in a wedding band and more. Lead singer Erin and Cleveland Music Group was easy to work with, quick to respond, and made us feel so special from first contact. We were provided with multiple opportunities to see them live before making our decision and Erin even came over when we came to see them just to welcome and congratulate us. The band was also incredibly accommodating giving us a say in what was played and having no ego whatsoever about me (the bride) wanting to perform a few songs with them. As for the talent, it doesn’t get better than The Element. I come from a family of musicians and we are critical and particular- The Element did not disappoint. Erin’s voice is liquid gold and every musician is perfection. The band created the entire amazing vibe for our reception and people never left the dance floor. All of our guests were floored by this band, many saying “best wedding band I’ve ever seen!” I could not agree more. If you’re debating DJ or Band, trust me, hire a band, and make sure it’s The Element! It will be worth it!!

Best part of our reception!

We could not say enough great things about The Avenue ! They absolutely knocked it out of the park and kept our reception fun and full of energy! They were great about learning a special song for our first dance as husband and wife and we couldn’t thank them enough!

Scott Jones: The Most Skilled Artist in Creating Reception Success

Scott was the reception host and DJ for my daughter’s wedding and I can’t stress how highly we all recommend him and all of the amazing staff at Cleveland Music Group. Scott goes way beyond playing songs that a bride and groom may request. He is the most skilled technician in the very psychology of a reception and can instinctively feel what a particular group of guests is like and what they may need, which creates an atmosphere of fun and comfort based on a rock-solid foundation of organization and execution. From the very beginning of our event, the mood was light and comfortable and Scott went above and beyond our expectations, even noticing that guests were getting a little warm and fixed it. The dance floor was full all night long and guests stayed until the end and are still talking about what . good time they had. So much of that is thanks to Scott. With Gratitude, Geoff Short

Professional Service

DJ Eric Smith was exactly what we wanted at our wedding. He was professional. He was on time. He was kind and patient. Excellent speaking voice. He also played great music. No one left the dance floor all night. It was a great party, Eric was a huge part of that.

The dance floor was NEVER empty! Thank you Scott!

There are not enough kind words to express how thankful we are to have had Scott as our DJ . Scott was willing to help us with any questions or concerns that we had with the planning process from beginning to end. If we had to do this 100 times over we would choose Scott every single time. We let Scott have full control as to what music was played because we trusted him and of course, he delivered. He was organized, professional and kept everything right on schedule. His energy is contagious and we really cannot say enough about how much we loved having Scott there for one of the most important days of our life. We have received countless compliments from our family and friends as to how much they enjoyed being on the dance floor the entire night. Thank you Scott, thank you for helping us create such a wonderful day and being a part of a memories that we will cherish forever.

The Orchestra played a formal event for us and truly knocked it out of the park. Young, old, everyone danced until the last song. From each individual musician to each of the four vocalists not including the drummer, their range was incredible. I highly recommend this group. They are easy to work with and take pride in their music and performance!

Best DJ ever!

DJ Scott Jones and his team were amazing!! We had dancing and music for 6 hours! He kept our dance floor alive all night. He noticed we were hot and opened windows. He was attentive and kind! We had the perfect wedding. Thank you, Scott!

Meeting with DJ Gaz before the wedding, he was on time thorough and organized. He assisted with selecting music. Gaz had a game plan of how things could happen. He was open to suggestions and feedback. At the wedding, Gaz was on point. He kept things moving and stuck to the game plan from the pre-opp’ meeting. He was a pleasure to work with. Gaz even had fun with my new daughter toward the end of the night, which added to making her night.

Band exceeded my expectations, dance floor was packed all night!

Sonata Strings : The Sonata Strings did a beautiful job performing at our wedding ceremony. They were very easy to work with and listened to my ideas and gave me suggestions for song selections. My guests were very moved by the music.

The Orchestra The Orchestra had our guests on the dance floor all night long. I work in the music industry so having a great band was key. I was very nervous about choosing one but The Orchestra exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely hire them again!! Dwayne was terrific to work with and answered all of my questions, gave me suggestions for certain songs, and happily took my direction on must have/don’t play songs and helped me plan out our grand entrance and first dance. I really liked how he checked in with me throughout the night before key moments were going to take place so I could ensure our photographer and family were present and ready.

The band was energetic and fun and wow, the horn section was terrific! The horn section even came down onto the dance floor at one point which our guests are still talking about. I couldn’t have been happier and all of my friends are still talking about how much fun they had dancing. They were OUTSTANDING!!!!!

Simply amazing

Nate Jones was absolutely fantastic! We are so happy that we chose to have him play at our ceremony. Not only did he drive about 2 hours each way to get to our small farm ceremony, he was very accommodating to the fact that we didn’t have any electricity by finding a battery powered amp and microphones. I can’t say enough kind things about him. He’s so talented and the music was beautiful. It made our day even more special than it already was. I recommend him 1000%.

Terrific group

Our group really loved the Michelle Romary Trio for our Christmas Party. Talented group & really nice people. They had some competition from the Ohio State championship game on big screen, but they were fine with it (I did warn them in advance though). They made our party quite a success again this year!

We’ve used Cleveland Music Group for years now. Have always had great service from them & great entertainment. Thank You!!

Fun for All

I can’t express enough how great of a job DJ Evan Foltz did at our wedding this past Saturday. He made the event flow smoothly, communicated with me during the event discreetly, and was patient and gave us extra time when we needed it.

The music was perfect the whole night, and it was hard for us to find a moment to sit down because we didn’t want to stop dancing. Evan took our suggestions for both the cocktail hour and reception and made a spectacularly tailored playlist. We also loved that he was dancing and getting into the music behind the booth – it really shows just how passionate he is about his work. He was having a good time and made sure everyone else did too.

Most of all, we had heard from many people that our venue, Cleveland City Hall, had poor acoustics because it is a large, open space. However, we didn’t have any trouble hearing anything throughout the entire night. From the ceremony, to the toasts, to the music at the reception, everything sounded great from start to finish.

Best DJ Ever!

Scott was an amazing DJ ! From our first meeting with him to the very last song at our reception, he was wonderful! Scott was so helpful in suggesting ceremony songs and listened to our opinions for dinner and reception songs. The dance floor was full all night with guests of all ages! Everyone loved the music and had the BEST time! Thank you to Scott and Cleveland Music Group for making our wedding so special!

Perfect night!

Our ceremony could not have gone better! DJ Eric Smith had the most amazing equipment and the sound was perfect. He cued everything at the perfect time and played exactly what I wanted!!! The reception was the same, everything was completely organized how I asked and I any time I went up to him during the night and asked him to play something he made it work!

PJ was flawless! Went above and beyond.

DJ PJ did an outstanding job from the start. We met when we first hired him and again a few days before the wedding. We were a little picky and also requested songs from our invitees, so I’m sure we were a bit of a pain, but PJ was extremely accommodating and assured us it was going to work out great, and it did. He rolled with any last minute decisions, corralled the wedding party for announcements, made all the right announcements, and most importantly he kept the dance floor full all night with the perfect playlist. I would highly recommend PJ to anyone. He also made an awesome video after the fact that consisted of pictures and videos throughout the night, including shots of our setup which he did before anyone even got there. Above and beyond. And thank you to Eric Smith for pairing us with PJ!!

Rave reviews for The Orchestra!!

The Orchestra played at our wedding and they were truly awesome!! The band kept the energy up from first song through the end of the evening and our guests danced the entire night – and loved the unique song list! Having such a fun dance party really made the evening and that was in no small part due to the energy and enthusiasm of the entire band. Working with Scott and Dwayne in advance was extremely easy and we really appreciated their responsiveness and efforts to ensure that all details were taken care of. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, all around. Would highly recommend for a Cleveland wedding!

Perfectly set the mood

We have a large fundraising gala that has changed formats to be more social and energetic and move away from the seated dinner format. DJ Larry Kopniske was great at reading the room and choosing music that appropriately enhanced the environment throughout the night. From our cocktail hour, dinner hours, program, and reception everything just seemed to be right in step and create the right “feel” for the night.

Chris Wallace is the best DJ ever!!!

My husband and I hired DJ Chris Wallace after he DJed a friend’s wedding a couple of years ago. At her wedding, the dance floor was hyped the entire night. So naturally, it was a no-brainer to consider him for our own wedding. He is very professional without being very “in your face” like some DJs. He played everything we wanted to hear, read our tastes and played even more of what we liked, and appeased the masses. The dance floor was PACKED for 3 hours straight and it’s all I could have asked for. Definitely consider him if you have a crowd that loves to dance!!

DJ Evan was perfect for our wedding

DJ Evan Foltz did an amazing job at our wedding in Chippewa Lake, OH. He was professional, friendly, fun, and great at reading the room and choosing music that kept the party going. He also did a great job of keeping my now husband and I on schedule throughout the night. In preparing for the wedding, he had excellent advice on music selection and planning for reception activities like the wedding party welcome and anniversary dance. Evan was always responsive to emails, and meetings prior to the wedding were timely, efficient, and enjoyable. Evan is also just a cool person and very easy to talk to and work with. We highly recommend Cleveland Music Group and specifically DJ Evan for anyone in search of a DJ for their wedding.

Cream of the Crop!

DJ Scott was SENSATIONAL!

Three things my wife and I wanted all of our guests to enjoy at our reception; the food, the drinks, and the music. Scott nailed it with our music at our wedding reception! At no point was the dance floor empty and Scott MC’ing the night was the reason why. Scott was fun, entertaining, and took such great care of us during our reception evening. Introductions, cutting of the cake, our first dance, parent dances, anniversary dance, and on and on and on! Scott was awesome!

He was in constant communication with me and my wife the entire evening, and even in the months of preparation for our wedding Scott made himself available to us with any questions we may have had. I quite honestly cannot think of a better DJ and MC than Scott E. Jones! If you are looking for great music, entertainment, and a great PERSON… then Scott is your guy!

Ceremony Music and Wedding Band

My wife and I were thrilled with the acts from CLE Music Group. We used Angelina Fiorini during our ceremony and she was absolutely perfect. We had so many people coming up to us during the cocktail hour asking where we found her. Her voice is incredible and she cut the songs in an elegant way to preserve time but also maintained the flow of the songs.

We had The Orchestra for our wedding band and we couldn’t be more pleased. They MC’ed the reception excellently and I don’t think there is a better wedding band in Cleveland. The whole reception was rocking to their music, which was a great variety of classics and popular music. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have a good time at their wedding.

Cleveland music group was great

I was very pleased with Cleveland Music Group for my wedding. DJ Chris Wallace was very down to earth, friendly and professional. His choice of music was spot on, and the reception flowed well.

Sonata Strings was so professional and easy with identifying songs.

All around, a great group to work with!

Danced All Night

The Element is top notch. Our wedding party was a complete success! The vocalists and musicians are all very talented and professional. We wanted a band that was not a typical wedding band and we sure got it! The dance floor was hopping all night. We would highly recommend this band.

Evan gets the party moving!

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!

Amazing experience!!

RadioActive performed for my wedding and we could not have been happier that we went with them! They were WONDERFUL, all of our guests loved them and they helped us to throw a great party, but they were also so great to work with. Our wedding schedule got pushed back due to rain and us having an outdoor ceremony and they were so understanding with even skipping their own breaks to make up for lost time in our reception! I would recommend RadioActive for any event!

The Perfect Band!

The Bottom Line was the perfect band for our group, which ranged in age groups from early twenties to young eight year olds! The Bottom Line group was classy, energetic and fun when our guests were up dancing and played softly during our program. The evening was lovely! Thanks To Stan Davis and the entire Bottom Line group!

Weding ceremony music

Wonderful! I got tons of complements on the ceremony singer Raine Austen ! She was so understanding and patient with me!!

After the Wedding Reception DJ

We used DJ Brandon Bailey of the CLE Music Group for our “After the Wedding Reception,” and he was amazing! We rented out RED on E. 4th, and the music and dancing on the rooftop made the night! Our guests loved it and Brandon gave us exactly the vibe we were going for – it was a perfect night. Brandon merged our styles and put together an amazing mix that all our guests could enjoy. Brandon was professional, organized, completely put together, and overall very reliable. We had an initial meeting and after that I had complete trust that he would do a great job and we didn’t need to worry – we were in great hands. Thank you Brandon and the CLE Music Group for giving us an amazing and worry-free night!

Great musicians, easy to work with, and reasonable pricing. What more can I ask for?!

1) The sound tech Tyler was easy to work with at our women’s lunch. He was booked on short notice and was very professional.

2) The John Toula Trio set a great jazz vibe for the opening reception for our conference. Nice guys playing great music.

3) The Best Choice DJ ( DJ BAM ) for our Closing Reception got the job done and there is nothing more that I love than something easy.

4) Rossi & Romano closed out the night with us on the patio of the Rock Hall on a beautiful September night. They were wonderful and our guests loved the songs, the voice, and guitar.

I don’t have words for how thankful we are for The Element and the Cleveland Music Group. The band made our entire wedding night. I really wanted a wedding with a lot of dancing and we got that, thanks to Erin and The Element. The dance floor was full all night! Every member of the band is so talented and amazing. Choosing The Element was our second best decision (besides getting married 😊). All night long guests were mentioning how great the band was and asking us who they were. Erin is also a great emcee, keeping everyone engaged and helping us immensely in scheduling and coordinating our speeches and introduction. On top of their amazing performance the night of – Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with during the planning process. She was extremely responsive, friendly and competent in all of our communications. We researched and went to performances by other bands during the planning process, but we both knew from the beginning that we wanted The Element. Can’t recommend them more!

Also, the Sonata String Trio did an unbelievable job during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their music is absolutely beautiful and they were easy and friendly to work with!

Highly Recommend DJ Chris Wallace

DJ Chris Wallace did a great job throughout our entire wedding day. He kept us organized and kept 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. It was such a fun day for everyone thanks to him!

Absolutely Amazing

We hired Tricky Dick & the Cover Ups for our wedding and they were absolute perfection! Tony (the lead singer) was our MC and he did a fantastic job keeping everything on schedule and hyping up the guests. The set list was amazing. They started off playing the oldies to get the older crowd dancing and moved into more current stuff as the night went on. The best/most impressive thing about Tricky Dick is their transitions into new songs. You literally cannot sit down because they seamlessly transition right into the next song and all you want to do is dance. Everyone at the wedding & after kept commenting about how amazing the band was and how impressed they were by them. If you’re thinking about getting a band for your wedding I cannot recommend Tricky Dick enough. They literally take your wedding to the next level and are worth every single penny.

Nothing but the best experience!! Wish I could do my wedding all over again!

From the first conversation with Erin, who recommended DJ London Bridges everything was the best experience! Erin answered all our questions! Once we spoke with DJ London Bridges and decided to book him, he also answered all our questions soon as I asked them!

DJ London Bridges is the best! The dance floor was packed! So many people said they loved him and had the best time and at most weddings are not on the dance floor, but for ours, they were on the dance floor the whole night! DJ London Bridges kept the night on time and of course had A ton of fun!!

This is the best DJ – you will have the best time ever!

Amazing photo booth and perfect string trio

First, I don’t think I’ve ever seen our guests have more fun at a wedding, and now I have the pictures to prove it! The Open Air Photo Booth was a hit! The props were great and the open air was awesome for people to jump in and out of the pictures. I love that our guests were able to take the pictures home with them as well.

The Sonata String Trio was everything we wanted our ceremony music to be. For a couple that wanted Everlong by the Foo Fighters, followed by Canon in D, followed by Can’t Help Falling in Love, they made it sound seamless. Thank you again for helping us start our ceremony on the right foot!

From the beginning Cleveland Music Group was so easy to work with, I highly recommend them!

DJ Evan Foltz was amazing from the Skype meetings before the wedding, answering every email quickly, and on the wedding day. Our guests had so much fun and the dance floor was full the whole time. Evan was able to pick up on our taste in music as well as our guests. He’s the best.

Thank you Evan!!!! (:

Singer Angelina Fiorini was amazing at our church ceremony. Her voice literally gave our guests chills. She was awesome to work with and made our day so special! She was even willing to sing part of one of our songs in a different language!

Thank you Angelina!!!

Best day ever!

DJ PJ was hands down incredibly to work with! We met with PJ prior to our wedding and he listened to all of our needs. PJ was so down to earth and attentive the day of our wedding. The music was amazing and the dance floor was full all night! PJ went above and beyond and made our day so perfect! Highly recommend.

Sly Band was AMAZING!!

Both we and our guests absolutely loved CMG and The Sly Band ! CMG was great to work with and always available to answer our questions. The Sly Band kept the energy up all night, played an amazing set list, and managed to keep everyone on the dance floor the entire evening. We could not have asked for a better band, honestly. They are true performers and have amazing showmanship. The band made our wedding as special and fun as it was. In addition, CMG did a good job piping in music and supplying microphones for our ceremony.

Blew away high expectations!

We had The Orchestra perform for our wedding and they were incredible! We paid a little extra to have them perform without breaks from the first dances after dinner until the end of the night and it was worth every penny! The dance floor was truly packed, nonstop, for over 3 hours. The variety of music they played was terrific, they were able to read the crowd and perform accordingly all night long. It seemed like every guest at our wedding made a point to find either my wife or I to tell us that this was the best band they’ve ever heard. The Orchestra truly helped make our night perfect, we will be recommending them to anyone we can!

Great Wedding Band

We were very happy with The Element for our daughter’s wedding. They did an excellent job and we received many positive comments from our guests (“This band is great” came up many times). Thanks so much for making our reception a lot of fun. We would highly recommend The Element anytime.

Made our day seamless!

DJ Eric did a great job keeping the night flowing. He was extremely organized and very attentive to the crowd. We were organizing from afar and only had one chance to visit our venue. We were worried about acoustics in the venue but he adapted and kept us relaxed. He did a great job, kept people dancing and killed it.

Side note; as a gay couple it was a huge relief to have a DJ who knew how to work with us and was mindful of his language. Even things like introducing us as a “married couple” vs “bride and groom.” It’s an example of a small thing Eric did that showed his thoughtfulness and professionalism. Thanks, Eric!

Super traditional

Everyone enjoyed the traditional Italian accordion music by Dennis DeSapri !!!

Wedding Must Have – Great addition to our night

Everyone loved this fun and super easy to use photobooth ! Each picture was incredibly clear (unlike many photobooths) and it was so fun to be able to text the photos rather than printing them out! An attendant was on hand but stayed out of the way unless needed. The Halo Photobooth was super easy to use – all touch screen and the accessories that they brought were super fun.

Through the night there was always a long line for this and now me and my husband have many memories from all our guests. This is a wedding MUST.

Chris and I were so relieved and honored to have DJ Scott Jones and his assistant, Kyle, as a part of our wedding day. Scott did an amazing job helping us with planning and any last minute changes we may have had. Our family and friends LOVE to dance and Scott and Kyle kept us on the dance floor the entire night! If we weren’t on the dance floor dancing, we were by the cupcake table dancing and enjoying our snacks! Kyle was great in replaying messages to Scott and vice versa. They meshed with our family and friends so we’ll its like they’ve known us forever! Scott is very personable, professional and fun! We highly recommend CLE Music Group!

Perrfect band for our party.

The Element played our low-key 30th Anniversary part for our firm. Eric Smith recommended them for the vibe we wanted. Setting the mood but still being in the background so people can talk. They were awesome. They read the audience and played great music all night and I can tell if we wanted to get crazy on the dance floor they could have accommodated, but the vibe of the party didn’t want that. Would definitely use them again.

DJ Brent Schmidt made our wedding!!

We absolutely loved DJ Brent !!! We gave him a few guidelines to follow and what he came up with was exactly what we wanted! He felt out the crowd and had people dancing all night!! So many of our guests commented that night and days following how awesome he was as well! I would 100% recommend him to anyone that’s looking to have their event be a blast! Thank you so much to the nerdy DJ for making our wedding so memorable for us and all our friends and family!! 🤓

Fantastic song choices

Everyone LOVED the music. We were so impressed with DJ Mike’s song layout as well as how willing he was to help us choose the music that was right for us. He kept the wedding moving smoothly and let us have the dream wedding we had hoped for. We chose DJ Mike because of how well he did with my brother’s wedding and we would recommend him again in the future.

Amazing evening and easy planning

My husband and I are non-traditional in every aspect! Since the official wedding was overseas, we worked with DJ Zack to select music for our state-side wedding reception guests. We love Latin-inspired music, 2010s classics and the 70s boogie era. We had one meeting with Zack prior to the wedding to describe our vision and he was more than accommodating to help build the most customized, spectacular evening. He was prompt and prepared at the pre-reception meeting and at the reception itself. From the music choice to the energy and the flexibility to design the evening however we wanted, Zack was our man!

We are so incredibly happy with DJ London Bridges . We loved his work on the ceremony, which was personalized based on our music preferences, and he mixed the traditional wedding song with something more modern. He was great at getting the guests and us excited during the reception, and people danced all night! I got a lot of comments from my guests that they were very happy with the music. Thanks Brandon and CLE Music Group! So glad we found you!

The perfect band for an acoustically challenging venue!

Erin Rossi from The Element (and Scott Jones and Tony Howard of CMG) was incredible to work with both throughout planning our wedding as well as on the day of. Erin quickly answered my every email or call and was always a pleasure to talk to. Not only is she 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 the sound in the Old Courthouse would be horrible since it’s a cavernous, marble-filled venue, but the sound was amazing! It was way better than I had been warned about or expected at the Courthouse, especially for the speeches. Thank you SO much to The Element and Cleveland Music Group. The wedding was an absolute blast thanks to Erin, Tony, and Scott! And the lighting that CMG set up looked great too!

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.

That. Was. Awesome.

Everyone was amazed by how the overall experience was. Music was great, cohesive, and the DJ had a great mix of everything. Would definitely recommend DJ Mike for any future events!

Outstanding music for ceremony and reception!

We used Sonata Strings for the ceremony music and The Element for the reception. They were both excellent! Sonata Strings learned a new song: Stay with Me by Sam Smith, which the bride used for her processional. Erin was a great emcee and kept everyone dancing and engaged. It was a perfect evening from start to finish!

Thank you DJ Evan!

I am so happy we chose Cleveland Music Group for our wedding. The staff there are so friendly and professional and will help guide you to find the right DJ (or musician, etc.) that you are looking for and who fits your budget. We chose DJ Evan Foltz for our wedding and he did an outstanding job making sure our wedding day was perfect! He was able to find instrumental versions of our favorite songs to play for the ceremony, he played our handpicked songs during cocktail hour and dinner, helped all the events flow smoothly throughout the day, and did an amazing job keeping guests on the dance floor!! He went above and beyond to make us and our guests happy – he even setup an extra speaker so that we could hear our cocktail hour music while we were away taking photos. Evan played must-play songs during the reception, he avoided our do-not-play songs, and he read the crowd to play songs that would keep guests entertained. He was also very professional throughout the whole day. I would absolutely recommend that you chose DJ Evan Foltz from Cleveland Music Group!

DJ DC was AWESOME!!

We just want to say THANK YOU so much to Cleveland Music Group and DJ DC for the amazing service provided at our wedding last weekend!! We highly recommend DJ DC for any kind of event!!! DJ DC had the dance floor going all night long, played all the songs we were hoping to hear and other songs that we didn’t even think to request! We had guests requesting songs and he didn’t skip a beat! He went above and beyond from the ceremony all the way to the end of the reception! When the staff at our venue weren’t directing people over to the cocktail hour, he immediately helped by making an announcement! We truly appreciate how efficient and fun he was along with keeping in constant communication leading up to our wedding! He made our night very enjoyable!! All of our guests were raving about the music all weekend long!! Thank you so much again!!

Photobooth was great!

People really seemed to enjoy the Halo Photobooth and have posted a lot of pictures from it. The props were great and Katrina helped make the picture-taking process go smoothly.

Perfect Choice!

DJ Scott Jones was amazing. We didn’t have to worry at all about the flow of the evening or the music. We knew he would handle everything and keep us and the guests happy. Our guests were still talking about how good DJ Scott was even after the wedding!

Best Wedding Band Ever!

From the moment the moment we talked to Tricky Dick & the Coverups they were extremely kind, helpful & responsive. They went through every single detail you could ever need prior to the wedding which put our minds at ease. When we got to the reception, they handled everything for us prior to even playing. Once they started playing everyone was out on the dance floor having an amazing time. They are so incredibly talented & honestly exceeded our expectations. I can’t say enough about how glad we are to have hired them for our wedding. We are still getting compliments from our guests. We are definitely fans now & are looking forward to seeing where we can watch them perform again!

Enjoyed the planning and the party!

We connected with DJ Scott Jones right away! We had a couple out of the box concepts and a broad range of music we wanted played for our wedding. Scott put no obstacles in the way and was 100% supportive. He took initiative to make sure things flowed smoothly throughout the entire evening — which we greatly appreciated. Our guests filled the dance floor the entire night. Thanks again, Scott!

Makes the party great

DJ Evan was accommodating, easy to communicate with and played what we wanted. He was not the typical DJ that said he needed to play line dance music (which we dislike and made must not plays) which is a testament to his versatility and experience as a DJ. He was organized, timely and kept the dance floor going the whole night. Would definitely recommend.

What a Great Band!!

“ The Orchestra ” band performed at our company’s 100th Year Anniversary Party. They were absolutely incredible! The dance floor was packed all night ~ we didn’t want the night to end! Everyone had a great time.

Music made the BEST DAY EVER

Music can make or break a big event… like your wedding! Boy, did DJ Evan Foltz MAKE our wedding! The music selections were spot on and he accommodated to not only our needs and preferences, but to all guests. Not once was the dance floor empty!

As a music therapist, I wanted to make our first dance super special and chose to sing part of “I See the Light” (from Disney’s ‘Tangled.’) DJ Evan Foltz worked with me to help create a flawless track of both instrumental and original recording for it!

Cannot say it enough: CLEVELAND MUSIC GROUP ROCKS!

Great summer!!!

Cleveland Music Group did another outstanding job of providing entertainment for our Summer concert series at Shaker Square. Some of the acts included Justo Saborit and The Sensations . Great job as always!!!

Happy With Everything!

CLE Music Group was very easy and professional to work with from start to finish. Scott and his team always were there to answers any questions and provide help. Our guests enjoyed Dennis DeSapri and singing at the Rehearsal Dinner we had down in Little Italy. He was on time, professional, and very accommodating. He played the accordion and sang during the cocktail hour and the first part of dinner. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.

We used The Orchestra for my son and daughter in law’s reception at Landerhaven. Our guests were blown away and started commenting the moment they walked into the room. The band played the right music during dinner and knew the right mix to all ages on the dance floor. I can honestly say, the dance floor was never empty.

Columbia Hills Day- Great Experience

DJ Hector was such a pleasure to work with. He was very professional, and played a wide variety of music. Our event was Halloween themed and he provided us with a fun black light that really added to our atmosphere! Overall, we had a great experience, and can’t wait to work with Cleveland Music Group again.

He rocked the house!

DJ PJ is the man! I don’t think at any point during our wedding the dance floor was empty. With the being said, he played a great variety of music that got all of our guests dancing. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the DJ was.

He was super easy to work with and there for us every step of the way. He even came by on the Friday before our wedding took place to chat with us and production at the House of Blues. He went above and beyond for us. I would HIGHLY recommend DJ PJ!!

DJ Smoov was nothing short of phenomenal!!

We hired DJ Smoov through Cleveland 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!!!!

Celebration: 80th Birthday Party

Mary Beth was versatile and great as usual. Reading the audience she kept everyone’s interest and even in some sing alongs all participated. Applause was overwhelming …

Our guests at our wedding were completely amazed at the Bottom Line Band . Instead of the usual DJ performance at wedding receptions, I decided to hire a live band for my wedding. I made the right choice! Our guests did not want the evening to end! It was such a pleasure to have the members of the Bottom Line perform at our wedding!

Sly Band is the best wedding band you can book. They put on a show the entire night and with the exception of eating dinner, did not take any breaks. They dance and sing along with the guests which makes it a very personal experience. They were so professional, enthusiastic, and kept the dance floor packed the entire night.

DJ Christian and Cleveland Music Group were very easy to work with. Obviously for any wedding there are many different vendors you will work with but this part was very smooth and easy. Christian was very knowledgeable and helped us come up with great ideas for the reception. Our reception started about 30-45 min late due to our limo getting stuck in traffic but Christian held it down and kept the cocktail hour running smoothly. We would absolutely recommend them for any type of event!

100% guaranteed satisfaction

Thank you to Dwayne and the entire Orchestra band . The music exceeded our expectations and I can’t imagine a more professional group of outstanding musicians. July 20, the hottest day of the year and you’d never know it, everyone was on the dance floor till the last song. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! “Sloopy ❤️ Roll Tide in the CLE”

They made our wedding exceptional

EVERYONE is asking where we found this incredible band! ALL of our guests from their 20s to 80s had a great time being entertained by the great group of musicians in The Bottom Line . The dance floor was packed the entire night. We are pleased beyond belief! Thank you Stan and Myesha for your amazing vocals and the rest of the musicians for coming through for us and making this an event to remember.

We went with Cleveland Music Group for our wedding and loved our experience. DJ Chris Wallace was very easy to work with and played great music all night. I would recommend Cleveland Music Group to anyone who is considering them. Thanks for making our special day one to remember forever.

Perfect Cocktail Hour, Groovy Reception Dancing

We had a wonderful evening thanks in large part to Dan Bruce (guitar) and DJ Evan Foltz ! The cocktail hour music was charming and super well-executed, just as you’d expect from an artist as accomplished and creative as Dan Bruce. Later in the evening, DJ Evan handled the announcing duties well and proceeded to rock the courtyard with a spot-on parade of hits, as well as a deep cut or two. People raised in the ’60s and ’70s jammed to the ’80s sounds of Prince and the B-52s, younger folks enjoyed “Runaround Sue” just as much as all the Lizzo and OutKast, and in general everyone had only good things to say about the music.

wedding at windows

Awesome, The Element is the best band! We had a great time, need left the dance floor! Erin was a wonderful emcee and the guys were amazing to our crowd-even got to participate. Have already recommended several times since our event.

Great wedding band

We had the Sonata Strings Trio play during our daughter’s wedding ceremony and The Element played during the reception. We’ve heard The Element before and as always, they were fabulous!! Erin was very easy to work with leading up to the big day and she was great emceeing during the reception! Everyone had a great time!!

A packed dance floor at midnight chanting for one more song pretty much says it all. The Avenue is a great band with excellent song choices.

Beautiful evening at the Cleveland Botanical Garden made more magical by DJ Eric Smith of the Cleveland Music Group!

Our guests had a lot of fun and thought it was a fairy tale wedding! Cleveland Music Group is the best and DJ Eric Smith did a fantastic job! Would hire them again!

My favorite wedding vendor BY FAR!

Erin Rossi and the rest of The Element went above and beyond their duties. They were so nice and personable – it felt like my friends were helping make my day the most special it could be! Talking with Erin on the phone and working with her to get everything set was so stress-free and made me feel like my wedding was going to go off without a hitch – which was true! Nothing went wrong – everything was so great! They were so nice about adding everything we wanted for the band and the ceremony. They were all just a pleasure to work with. Thanks again!

Our dance floor was BUMPIN’!

We booked DJ DC after attending two separate weddings that he was the DJ at – we were blown away by his professionalism, personality, and ability to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long! Dan was a pleasure to work with throughout the wedding planning process and put my mind at ease when it came to figuring out the order of the reception/formalities, music selections, and making sure that the night flowed smoothly. Aside from our venue, he was the first vendor that I booked for our wedding – the DJ truly sets the tone for the evening, and Dan went above and beyond as our MC/DJ! We received endless compliments on our music and the fun that everyone had on the dance floor! I recommend him often to friends and cannot thank him enough for a PERFECT wedding night!!

Wonderful Wedding

CMG was so helpful and quick to respond every step of the way while planning the music for our wedding reception. The result was to work with two phenomenal professionals, John Toula and his Jazz Trio , who played during our cocktail hour which set the mood for the rest of the evening, and DJ PJ , who kept everyone dancing the entire night. My guests came up to me declaring “I’ve never been to a wedding where the weird people were the ones who WEREN’T dancing.” The floor was packed, the whole time, I’ve never seen anything like it, and I’m ecstatic! Thank you everyone for making our wedding such a hit!

The highlight of our wedding!

My (now) wife & I were looking for a band for our wedding and The Element was highly recommended by a common friend. We could not have made a better choice! We were impressed by their professionalism from the very first meeting. They not only took care of the music for the reception, which was absolutely incredible, but also helped us in figuring out a sound system for the ceremony. Our ceremony was outdoors without an easy access to power! They provided us with 2 mics and a sound engineer. That was such a huge relief!

Our wedding was a cross cultural Indo-American wedding and the way they weaved in the different genres of music from pop, rock, jazz and Bollywood hits was perfect. They kept the guests dancing for almost 4 hours. We still get compliments about the band 10 days later.

Eric was amazing

We thought DJ Eric Smith was awesome! He listened to our requests and felt out the crowd. He kept it rocking all night. Our guests were each about him. He was so fun! We can’t thank him enough for a spectacular dance floor all night long.

Eric is the BEST!

DJ Eric did such a great job at our Sunday wedding last week. He kept the party rolling without being pushy or overbearing. He did a great job with music selections and helped keep our guests on the dance floor all night! He is very organized, came prepared, communicated with us well, and went above and beyond. Really appreciated how low-key and chill he is as an MC and DJ. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

Awesome event – Evan nailed it!

Cleveland Music Group was awesome to work with – they were professional, responsive, and helpful. It was clear that DJ Evan spent a lot of time thinking about the vibe we were going for, and created a perfect mix of music for our event. He kept the energy high all night (as evident by the fact that there was a full dance floor even as the event space turned the lights on to end the event) and our guests had a blast. I would highly recommend CMG to anyone planning a wedding in the Cleveland area!

One of a kind Band

New York Minute was exceptional! Their voices were spectacular, they made my daughters wedding an unforgettable event. They had the dance floor filled all night long. I would absolutely hire them again!

Lovely…from communication to sound

The Sonata Strings Quartet sounded lovely and moved from ceremony to cocktail reception space smoothly.  While I cannot speak for the guest experience, as a planner, Tanis the strings leader was great to work with and organized and flexible on event day.

Music for a Company Picnic

We decided to hire a DJ for our annual company picnic this year and boy are we sure glad we did! It was the perfect addition to the day. The music selection was perfect and DJ Evan could not have been better. Thank you CLE Music Group for adding to the day!

Wow! DJ Evan Foltz was AMAZING! Talk about hustle. He showed up to the venue really early to make sure he was all set up. He communicated with us throughout the night to make sure he was meeting expectations. He handled everything with so much ease and didn’t seem stressed at all. We had multiple meetings before the wedding with him and he really took the time to understand our style, preferences and what we were looking for. Our reception was amazing thanks to DJ Evan. Our families and friends have all said this was the most fun reception they’ve ever attended. The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone had a great time! We are SO grateful to Evan for all of his hard work. I could not recommend DJ Evan more highly. He did an absolutely incredible job!

Supportive and sensational!

We were so happy about our experience working with Erin and The Element . Erin was so supportive throughout the planning process with words of encouragement and flexibility in our song choices (we picked a few songs from our first dance/ father-daughter dance not on the song list, and her team made no issue of learning it for us and performing beautifully) . Our guests danced the night through and had so much fun, and Erin also kept our reception on track by MC’ing our toasts, family blessings, and more. BIG thanks to this band.

Amazing experience

We absolutely loved our experience with Cleveland Music Group. The Sonata Strings Duo 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.

Wonderful and Accommodating Musician for our Wedding

From the initial phone conversation to the ceremony and reception music, Nate Jones was wonderful! Guests kept asking where we found such a great musician and were impressed by his ability to play music from different genres and decades in an accurate and beautiful way. We highly recommend Nate (and CMG) for any event!

Best night ever!

Amazing night and perfect in every way. We loved Stan and The Bottom Line ! Everyone danced the entire evening!

DJ DC was the BEST

We were absolutely blown away by DJ DC . Before our wedding, he was easily accessible for questions and met with us a couple weeks before the big day. Day of, he was a SUPERSTAR. He helped mic our ceremony, which went off without a hitch. Our guests were blown away by DC. He did not let the dance party stop all night, he was super accommodating with our and guest song requests, and was so easy to work with. He knocked it out of the park and we agreed that choosing DC was one of the best decisions of our whole wedding!!

Absolutely perfect mix of music

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 that’s not an exaggeration.

Worth every penny!

We were absolutely blown away with the quality of TCB and their absolute professionalism. Our guests could not stop raving about the set list, high quality sound, and wonderful attitude of the band. Michael (band leader) and Eric from CMG were both very pleasant to work with and made the process of booking and coordinating the band very seamless and rather easy. You made our day that much better. Thank you so much!!

DJ Judi was an amazing MC and kept the crowd moving and motivated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being apart of this day! My little “survivor” ran his first 5K!

DJ Scott did an absolutely amazing job. All of the music was perfectly catered to our guests and our styles. Not only did we have an AMAZING time, but our guests and parents raved about the music/DJ!! The dance floor was packed all night long. Thank you Scott for taking part in making our day absolutely perfect!

Amazing Time

DJ Brandon Bailey took our input for the style of music and type of party we were looking for. He took our input and really delivered. The dance floor was packed and going crazy all night. Every single one of our friends thought it was the best wedding they have attended. It was an absolute blast and it had everything to do with the music. Thank you so much Brandon and team.

The Element was outstanding!

We absolutely loved The Element ! They are incredibly talented and sounded outstanding at our wedding. They exceeded our expectations. Our guests were dancing all night long, including myself and I’m not much of a dancer! Erin was very easy to work with too. We feel so lucky to have had them as our wedding band. We highly recommend them!

Match City were amazing and kept the crowd dancing all night! Our guests loved them!

Wedding Review

DJ Scott did an amazing job and kept the night going strong! We had a blast at our wedding and we cant thank Scott enough for the great show he put on. Everything was perfect!

We and our guests loved The Element . I was sad when it ended!

Everything we could have ever wanted

DJ Scott Jones absolutely killed our wedding reception! He kept the energy up the whole night, managed guests who tried to make requests, and listed to everything my (now) husband and I had to say. Each time we met with Scott he was upbeat and excited to talk to us, rather than making us feel like it was just another job. I can’t recommend Scott and his services enough!

Best Wedding Band Ever!!!

The Orchestra is the best wedding band you could ever hire. We had over 200 people at our daughters wedding and for 2.5 hours almost everyone was on the dance floor the entire time. If they are available I would grab them quickly. Dwayne the leader was amazing and did everything we asked him to do. Their rendition of Call Me Al was a huge success when the brass section came on the dance floor and played while partying with the guests and started a conga line. Can’t rave enough.

Our second wonderful experience

This is the second time we used DJ Bill Bowen for a wedding. He is professional. He keeps the reception moving on schedule. He meets with you before the event to make sure he understands the couples song selections and ANY wants and don’t wants for the reception. His song selections keep the party going. Excellent.

WOW! Absolutely Phenomenal!

We thought The Orchestra was sensational! The MC services were excellent and the music was wonderful. Such a variety of music was played and the guests danced the entire evening!! The brass section, the drummer, the guitarist and the singers were the best we’ve heard at any wedding or event we’ve attended in years! We were amazed at how many guests raved about the band. The evening ended too quickly. I would not not hesitate to hire the Orchestra again. If we have another wedding in the future, we will hire The Orchestra in a heartbeat! We loved them and are so happy they were a part of our Wedding celebration! Thank you for making our evening phenomenal!

Fantastic Entertainment for Mother’s Day Brunch

The Esto Jazz Trio was absolutely perfect for our Grand Mother’s Day Brunch hosted at Landerhaven. 657 guests enjoyed the music, and thought it was just perfect for the setting. We are looking forward to having them back next year to do it again!

Surprise 50th Birthday party -Great performance

Phil Talbot did a wonderful job in his performance. Our guests enjoyed his singing and playing of the guitar. He took requests, interacted with our guests, and has a great song list. He contacted us before the party and was easily reachable and  accommodating regarding timing and set up. We are looking forward to having him at future parties!!

Definitely Our “Best Choice”

My husband and I chose the Cleveland Music Group’s best choice package for our wedding because we did not have a certain DJ we wanted, we just knew that we trusted CLE Music Group’s reputation in the community.

DJ BAM was assigned to our wedding and we loved him from our first call. He asked us what year we graduated high school and then said “I got this covered.” We wanted a packed dance floor and we certainly got it. Even our photographers commented that once open dancing started, it never stopped for a second.

DJ BAM also did a great job with announcements and toasts despite our venue’s unconventional set-up. He kept the event moving and was professional and friendly. Our guests loved him.

I loved him so much that as the bride I tried to give him an entire envelope of cash at the end of the night in addition to his tip money. OOPS.

Thanks DJ BAM and CLE Music Group!

Danced the Night Away!

DJ Eric Smith brought the energy to our wedding reception from the moment my bridal party walked in for our grand entrance until the very last songs played at the end of the night! DJ Eric was very professional and made sure my husband and I knew where to be and when and helped make sure we kept to our timeline– we never felt like we didn’t know what we were doing. We loved the music DJ Eric played,which delighted young and old, and appreciated the addition of requests. We also loved that DJ Eric agreed to do (and researched!) the “Newlywed Shoe Game”– our guests thought it was a lot of fun. The whole process working with DJ Eric and Cleveland Music Group was a breeze and definitely helped keep the stress of wedding planning down.

This band is the best we have had the privilege to experience!

Everyone, of every age and every background complimented my husband and I on the Sly Band . The band is so talented, energetic and entertaining that once the music started no one sat down, everyone was up and dancing for hours! The selection of music was amazing and fun. We continue to get wonderful input from people who celebrated the evening with our family – days after the wedding is over. Two nieces, who also happen to be engaged, want the Sly Band for their reception – sadly one of them lives in Seattle, WA and we’re not sure the band will travel quite that far… but maybe (fingers crossed)! If you are planning an event with live music than you definitely should check out The Sly Band – you will NOT be disappointed!

Our guests loved The Sensations!

The Sensations played at our wedding reception. Even though both of our families are not much for dancing, the dance floor was full all night. The variety of music was great and easily incorporated our requests. We are still getting comments from friends and family about how much fun they had.

Working with DJ Eric Smith was incredible! He was very prompt in his responses and incredibly helpful and reassuring through the entire planning process.

He did our ceremony and reception and it ran so smoothly-I didn’t worry about a thing that night. He read the crowd so well and played great songs that weren’t just all normal wedding songs! If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, or any other event, I would highly recommend Eric-you won’t regret it!

Perfect as usual!

We hired Cleveland Music Group to DJ an in-store event. DJ Jeff was on time and as professional as can be. We just wanted some fun music played for our guests and he did just that. We previously used CMG for another store event and new that they would deliver. Also- Scott was the DJ at my wedding . I won’t use anyone else!

PJ is the best!

When the DJ we had planned to book for our wedding fell through, we weren’t sure what we were going to do and didn’t have a lot of time to figure it out. We found DJ PJ and he was an absolute savior. We wanted to book a DJ who was the same age as us and was willing to work with us to play the music we wanted, and not the same generic “crowd pleasers” you hear at every wedding. PJ worked very hard to make sure we got everything right and was more than willing to fulfill very specific song requests for different parts of the night. He also was able to deal with the very difficult acoustics that come from having your wedding in a giant marble room like Ariel Pearl Center. We couldn’t recommend him enough!

The band, Cheers! Cleveland , was great, they kept everyone entertained and played a good wide variety of music!

Most amazing wedding band EVER!

This was the second wedding for which we engaged The Orchestra and they were, again, truly fantastic. Dwayne was responsive to the bride and groom’s play list requests, did an amazing hora medley, kept the momentum of the party going from start to finish. Our guests – including many from Chicago and New York, kept commenting that they had never heard a better band.

Unforgettable wedding

My daughter’s wedding and reception were held at Cleveland History Center. The ceremony in the gallery was beautiful, enhanced by uplights and the music of harpist Virginia Dickson . Cocktail hour and dinner were accompanied by DJ Eric Smith playing some great jazz. After dinner, guests danced for hours to nonstop music. There was no time during the evening when the dance floor was even close to empty. Such a great experience! Scott Jones was wonderful to work with. I’d use Cleveland Music Group again in a heartbeat.

Excellent experience with Cleveland Music Group

Cleveland Music Group was easy to work with, trustworthy, and responsible. Sonata Strings Trio for ceremony and Jonathan Hooper on piano for cocktail hour were beautiful. DJ Dan Cormier made Brian and I feel very involved in the music selection process and honored our recommendations during the wedding reception. Dan even provided us with a CD of our musical selections as a keepsake. Would definitely recommend CMG to others for their events!

A Night To Remember

Everyone was blown away by the fantastic job that The Orchestra did. After dinner every seat was empty with everyone feeling the amazing energy that the band filled throughout the venue. Dwayne made the booking process easy and fun making sure that all our questions and concerns were addressed I could not imagine having a better form of entertainment for any event.

Only the best from Scott Jones and CLE Music Group

DJ Scott Jones and Cleveland Music Group was unbelievable! The guests at our wedding were dancing the entire night and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Scott is supportive, enthusiastic, and more than willing to tailor his plans to make your day absolutely perfect. Why go anywhere else but CLE Music Group?!

Awesome band, very easy to work with, had the most people on the dance floor from our group ever!

The Match City band was great. They mixed up the music, they kept all ages dancing. They were fantastic.

Couldn’t Be Happier! Merry & Married!

DJ Chris Wallace was an absolute delight to work with. From the planning process to the day of the wedding, Chris was organized, communicative, flexible, and relaxed. Chris did a fantastic job selecting music for our reception that was both festive for the Christmas holiday and upbeat to keep guest dancing. Our dance floor was packed the entire evening! Our guests raved about how fun and festive the evening was. Thank you Chris for being an integral part of our reception! We couldn’t be happier!

An Epic Finale to our Special Day

We had a wedding that was straight out of a fairy tale. We have been planning it for over a year. Everything went perfect but the one thing that all the guest said was their favorite part was the band. The Avenue kept everyone dancing all night. Tiffany did a great job being the master of ceremonies. I had one friend contact me the day after the wedding starting “I never dance but I woke up with blisters this morning because the band was so great!” Again the band was a great finish to the best day of our life.

Surprise 70th birthday bash

I hosted a surprise 70th birthday bash for my mom and DJ Billy King was amazing! From the time we walked in until the end of the night our family and friends danced the night away. DJ Billy King was prompt, professional and courteous, the music made the night! Thank you so much.

Great band, great talents!

Don was very friendly and professional. The band arrived on time and was set up for when guests arrived. They followed the “script” and played what the client asked for without hesitation. We will be recommending Don Disantis Band and Cleveland Music Group to many more clients.

Exactly what we were looking for!

When we were planning our wedding we wanted to go with a DJ that was clearly reliable. We found CLE music group at a bridal convention in Cleveland and were impressed with all the positive reviews. Those reviews all proved to be trustworthy. We were immediately impressed with CLE Music Group’s attention to detail, timely communication and willingness to work with us. We met with a few of their DJs and the second we met with Daniel Cormier (DJ DC) we immediately knew he was the guy. He was a professional from the beginning all the way through the reception and was more than willing to meet with us directly over multiple occasions to discuss details for the reception.

Both my wife and I, as well as every guest at the reception I spoke to was amazed with the quality of our DJ and a number of our friends getting married over the next two years asked for DC DC’s information as well as CLE Music Group’s to look into booking him for their own wedding. Truly not one complaint. I am of the belief that you really should have a DJ you can trust to play solid music and get people dancing without any sort of worry or micromanaging. We gave him song requests given to us in our RSVPS (we had a spot for them to add what they would get up and dance to) and he incorporated many of those songs into the night, as well as leaving out those songs my wife and I knew should be forbidden (chicken dance). He never seemed like he was doing too much or doing too little and even got a number of family members to dance from my side… which is no small feat. We are a hang by the open bar kind of family! I am pleased, impressed, and highly recommend CLE Music Group and DJ DC to anyone considering him for their wedding.

Super band, very accommodating, exceptional professionals

Very positive in every way, exceeded expectations.

Wedding Band

Everyone had fun on the dance floor with The Orchestra !

I don’t think there are enough words to describe exactly how much we loved We Are The Radio ! Finding a great band was probably the most important item on my checklist and We Are The Radio was even better than I could have imagined. This band is simply amazing! The dance floor was PACKED the entire night! Over a month after our wedding, we’re still getting comments from friends and family about how much fun they had and how incredible We Are The Radio was. The playlist was absolutely perfect. They read the crowd so well and knew exactly what to play to keep everyone dancing all night long. Brandon is a fantastic MC and everyone is so insanely talented. The music was phenomenal! They took the few requests I had, regardless of how silly they were, which really customized the night. I couldn’t have asked for a better time! If I ever need a band for ANYTHING, I know exactly where to look. We Are The Radio has a groupie for life! Thank you all for making our wedding such a blast and absolutely unforgettable!

“Not a cookie cutter DJ company”

To all those considering Cleveland Music Group, they are THE BEST. I live in New York City and had to interview multiple companies over the phone. Every company laughed at our request – we wanted a DJ to spin old fashioned vinyl records from the 50s and 60s for our entire reception. I was assured that I would never find anyone who does this. Then, I found Cleveland Music Group who essentially employs real artists and DJs to work your wedding based on their own talents and styles. This is not a cookie cutter DJ company that only offers one thing. So, CMG sent me right over to DJ Evan , who has his masters in Trumpet, a fine taste in music and a massive vinyl collection to boot! Everyone at CMG went out of their way to accommodate us. Even was FABULOUS and the best part? His attitude. No stuck up DJs at this company. Evan was a total dear and we can’t thank him and CMG enough.

A seasoned pro

DJ Larry does a great job of understanding the nature of the event, venue, and clientele. For our charity fundraising event he added to the excitement of the evening with his song choices, and was right on cue. Larry has been a part of our event for many years, but adjusted to our new format seamlessly.

Beautiful bistro lighting

The bistro lighting over the dance floor was breathtaking and assisted with setting the mood over our dance floor.

Scott Jones is the man!!

DJ Scott Jones did an awesome job!! He knew how to get the crowd going at the wedding and really read the crowd! Everyone was up and dancing and having a blast!

It was a great day

The weather was cold and rainy and our reception was held in a 3-sided barn; that didn’t bother TCB s performance in the least. They brought non-stop, high-energy heat and kept the party going strong. I think this is the only wedding reception I’ve been to where people were dancing the whole party. Thanks to everyone at the Cleveland Music Group for working with us and for being flexible, thanks to the members of TCB for an unforgettable night.

Greatest Band Ever

Our guests were blown away by K Street . We selected them because we knew they would have our guests dancing all night long—and they definitely delivered! We would choose K Street a million times over!

Stop looking

Four hours of diverse dance music. You and your guests will never sit down. Great voices. Great musicianship. From Motown to rock to R&B. All great. Seriously stop looking and book The Element .

Best Day Ever

The dance floor was full all night at my daughter’s wedding. The musicians in The Orchestra were very talented and they performed beautifully. Dwayne was wonderful to work with and very accommodating. Thank you very much!

Definitely Recommend!!!!

We hired TCB to entertain our guests at our wedding reception. We are extremely satisfied with TCB’s performance. They kept our guests entertained all night and there was always a group of people on the dance floor. We are still receiving compliments from our guests about TCB and their performance. We will definitely be recommending TCB to all friends/family. Thank you TCB!!! 🙂

Everything we wanted and then some.

DJ Evan was easy to work with and very helpful at identifying the songs and genres we wanted. His library had everything we wanted to play and his DJ selections were right on par. Our guests loved him and the dance floor was never empty. If you want a friendly, well prepared, professional DJ who plays what you want as well as what the night needs then Evan is your guy.

SO much fun!!!

We heard nothing but good things about DJ DC and his services. We were so pleased and consider him a friend!

Highly Recommended

The whole experience with booking Cleveland Music Group for our wedding was fantastic. Tony was extremely helpful with recommending DJs that matched what we were looking for. We decided on DJ Evan Foltz and couldn’t have been happier with the results. Evan was great to work with as we chose what type of music to play for each part of our wedding. On the actual day he was great at reading the crowd and adjusting the music based on what everyone seemed to be enjoying. Our wedding was so much fun and I can’t thank Evan enough for being such an important part of making it a great night. We got tons of compliments on the music and how awesome our DJ was.

wedding/reception

DJ MIke Alexander was the best! Prior to the wedding he sat down with us for over an hour to review every detail of the day. He ensured we had every song we wanted, and gave us great recommendations. The day of was perfect. He really knew how to get the party started and keep it going! If there wasn’t a rule that the reception had to end at 11pm, I’m sure we would have kept dancing all night. At the end of the night, he gave us CDs of all of our music. We highly recommend him, definitely best party ever!

Amazing evening care of DJ Eric Smith!

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!

Smooth and envigorating

The Panorama Steel Drum music was very smooth and at the same time lively. Thoroughly enjoyable.

The best choice we made for our wedding was hiring the Element!

The Element was the perfect mix of oldies and new hits. I have been to many weddings where the band is predominately oldies and we did not want that. The Element plays the oldies flawlessly but it is the way they play the new hits that really drew our attention to them. We received the most compliments from our guests about the band. Erin was a perfect MC. She handled a couple special requests without hesitation. She made sure our wedding naturally flowed along. Erin even let one of my bridesmaids on stage to sing Proud Mary with her onstage. Everything from booking The Element all the way to the end of the wedding was perfect. We wouldn’t have changed one thing about the performance. We really cannot thank the Element enough–without them, our wedding would never have been what it turned out to be!

Great sounding perfect wedding band

All our guests enjoyed dancing to the music sung and played by The Element .

Professional, Entertaining and Engaging

Judi Chevrolet was the DJ at our wedding on 9/2/18. She as incredible. Judi has an extensive collection of music to cater to many ages of people. She was professional – engaging with the crowd, when appropriate, but not trying to be the center of attention. She was fun!! She brought percussion items to engage the group during certain songs like “Hot, Hot, Hot” which was a huge satisfier. She even got on the dance floor to teach and lead a few line dances. This was our second wedding so we wanted a certain level of maturity and experience yet fun – Judi more than exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her.

The Sonata Strings sounded wonderful and was very professional. Our guests were very impressed.

A perfect fit for our occasion!

Guests all loved Sam Romano’s music. I requested a certain genre right up front, and he adhered to this beautifully!!

What a GREAT band!

WOW! This band is the best! They play a variety of music and their band leader, Rick, made sure that he got all our music preferences/requests. They kept the party moving and their music got our guests out on the dance floor. Many commented on how much they liked this band! I would definitely recommend The Edge !

Everything was FABULOUS! DJ Scott Jones read the crowd so well and kept the party going. He communicated so well with me during the ceremony as well to be sure everything was exactly to our liking. We partied all night long and I couldn’t have asked for a better time. No other words than simply amazing!

A Perfect Band Made for a Perfect Wedding Celebration

The Element is the perfect band to help you celebrate your special day! They played at our wedding, and we are so happy they did — the dance floor was full the entire night. Everyone had too much fun dancing to their amazing music, which ranged from Frank Sinatra to today’s Top 40. This is an incredibly talented group, and they were so easy to work with, which was much appreciated. We cannot recommend them enough!

Great addition to the perfect wedding!

Having Nate Jones and DJ AK was a perfect addition to our wedding day. Nate Jones was easily able to adapt to our ceremony music requests and learned songs that were special to our relationship. DJ AK was then able to seamlessly transition from the acoustic sound of Nate Jones, through the cocktail hour, dinner, and then knew how to get the party started on the dance floor! DJ AK took the time to get to know us as a couple and make sure the day was running smoothly. THANK YOU TO THEM BOTH!

Incredible Service

Our guests LOVED our photo booth ! The Cleveland Music Group team was awesome to work with and set up seamlessly while we were in the reception. Couldn’t recommend more!

DJ Gaz worked our wedding for us. He did a fantastic job! We met with him ahead of time to discuss the flow of events and the songs. Outside of announcing and MCing the event, he said minimal things on the microphone (exactly what we wanted!), and he played a wonderful selection of music during the reception. The dance floor never died down! He also has a wonderful voice for announcing everything. Thank you, DJ Gaz!

Nonstop Fun

DJ Eric Smith took our song suggestions and perfectly executed the evening’s music, from a more classic cocktail hour to nonstop fun and dancing all night! With just a few suggestions he was able to perfectly gauge what songs to play, and there was never a lull. Our guests told us they loved how he kicked off the dancing and finished the night up. Thank you!

DJ London Bridges brought excellent energy. His music and mixes were phenomenal and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Highly recommend DJ London Bridges.

A super evening of music and entertainment

We were so impressed by Kyle Primous and the K Street band . It was probably the compliment we kept getting all evening, what a great band, how did you find them, etc. as one guest put it, “Oh, What a Night.” Their interaction with the crowd was energizing. Even for those unable to dance, they were still being entertained. We were so happy to treat our friends to such a great evening while we celebrated the newly weds recent marriage in California.

The Avenue was absolutely amazing! They played all types of songs and had the dance floor jam packed all night long! Tiffany is just awesome and so so nice! She made sure that we had absolutely nothing to worry about on our wedding night. Our guests are still raving about how great the music was! Can’t wait to see the videos of everyone on the dance floor! Thank you so much! It was perfect!

Amazing entertainment

My wife and I have attended many weddings in Miami, Boston, New York, and Washington, DC and we have never enjoyed ourselves more than our daughter’s wedding this past Saturday night in Pittsburgh. The evening was highlighted by the amazing entertainment provided by The Orchestra . The horn section came onto the dance floor to play and dance, the lead singer jumped into the crowd during several selections to bring us all together, and the lead female vocalist completely slayed an Alicia Keys song. The only complaint anyone made was the dance floor was so crowded all night, they couldn’t practice their swing moves.

Kept Everyone Dancing All Night!

DJ Eric Smith is 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 absolute 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 guests’ 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!

The Bottom Line is the BEST

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Stan and The Bottom Line !! They put on a SHOW! The dance floor was packed with people of all ages the entire night and guests are still reaching out to me to tell me how amazing they were. Throughout the planning process, Stan was so great to work with it and helped to make sure that all of our special requests were met. They even surprised my mom by learning one of her favorite songs and playing it that night- it was incredible. The Bottom Line truly went above and beyond and made our night a party that we will never forget. We cannot thank or recommend them enough- they are spectacular!!

DJ Evan went beyond his line of duties by providing a generator when the power went out. I can only imagine how he felt, while Jordyn and I didn’t fret. A bunch of kudos to Evan as he never faltered and was extremely professional.

Steel Drums were a big hit!

Panorama was wonderful, our entire group loved their music. They were on time and organized and we truly enjoyed the entire experience.

DJ Chris Wallace was incredible from start to finish! He took the time early on to set up personal phone calls and answer every question that I had. He met at a local restaurant with both of us to go over the logistics of the wedding and our Dos and Don’ts as far as music went. He acted in a very professional manner throughout the entire event. He made sure to go over the pronunciations of names again before the grand entrance and the correct order for introduction. He followed the schedule well for the evening but also allowed spontaneous fun moments to continue without pushing the schedule. Most importantly, he truly did keep a full dance floor with his choice of music and was able to incorporate our wish list of music as well. THANK YOU Cleveland Music Group for the wonderful service and for pairing us with the best DJ we could have hoped for.

The Perfect Party

Chris Wallace was the DJ at my brother’s wedding in the summer of 2017. He did such a great job that we asked him to come back for our wedding this summer. Chris communicated in a highly effective manner, paying close attention to details, and ensuring that everything went smoothly. He did a great job monitoring sound for the wedding ceremony, and was also a fantastic emcee and DJ during the wedding reception. It was easy to work with Chris during the planning stages, and he made the entire event a success. Everyone had a wonderful time!

Beautiful music for our wedding ceremony!

As the bride, I was able to hear the Sonata Strings playing as I was in a separate room before the ceremony and they sounded just wonderful! Leading up to our date, the musicians were very interactive and had no issue in expanding our time a little bit. I will encourage people to keep in mind that without the quartet, the musicians aren’t able to do many contemporary songs, which I wasn’t aware of until a few weeks before the wedding. It was no big deal because the music was still great (and the due was able to accommodate one contemporary song choice!) but other people may like to be aware of that.

Highly recommended

DJ PJ Carmack was personable but never got in the way. He played what we wanted him to play and the dance floor never stopped until midnight.

London Bridges Packed the Dance Floor!

I set out to find a DJ that was a blend of being professional and FUN at the same time! I had a large guest count of people who were resistant to dance and people who were looking forward to dancing all night! DJ London Bridges was the perfect fit for this! He was upbeat and friendly when working with the wedding party and making announcements to guests. The moment dancing started, the floor was packed and it remained full all night long. We even ended up extending the length of our night! He mainly used a blend of 90s and now, which was exactly what my friends and I wanted to dance to and I got complements about the DJ during the night and after! He also added a blend of some older songs that created the opportunity for older generation to join the dance floor, but he kept everything moving and fast paced, so it still never slowed down the night. London Bridges is talented and fun!

While planning, London Bridges was available for questions via phone, accepted my playlist ideas via email, and even met with me in person close to the wedding day to finalize plans. I had a lot of ideas about interactive things I wanted to do with the bridal party and even a prank, and London Bridges was totally on board with the things I wanted to try! One thing I planned was having a group of friends sing our favorite Karaoke song and in videos that came out after, London Bridges is singing along in the background with us! That right there shows you how fun he is and appears to love what he does! Lastly, London Bridges always spoke positively and upbeat about the day while we were planning. This lead me to feel like I wasn’t annoying (haha) which was my fear when I had so many questions and details to plan! Go with CLE Music Group!!

Great Planning Process

Tony Howard had the most efficient correspondence skills among all the vendors I worked with!! It is a hectic time of wedding planning when you are trying to visit places, select vendors, and make decisions. Dates were changing on my end as I lost a venue while still in search of which DJ I wanted. So at a time when I felt like my search was all over the place, Tony kept in contact with me, followed the date changes, and helped to match me with the DJ I was most interested in! He responds rapidly, stays on top of deadlines, and is available for questions and making other contacts. He is friendly and efficient, and a great reflection of my whole experience with working with the CLE Music Group company!

We hired Cleveland Music Group for our daughter’s wedding. I listened to the video bios on the website and chose DJ Matt Gazdak because he seemed professional, experienced and FUN! The moment I called Cleveland Music Group the process fell into place effortlessly. Matt reached out and organized playlists with the Bride and Groom. Met in person and had fun getting to know each other. Matt invited text messages as well as phone calls and email. He always responded immediately.

The wedding day finally came, and we had no worries as we knew it was time to let Matt do his thing. He was amazing! He loves his job and it shows. We had him play music starting when guests arrived for the outdoor ceremony all the way to the end of the night. Matt had the dance floor packed the whole night. He let our two year old ring bearer wear his head phones and touch the equipment…so sweet. He played songs for all age groups and styles of dancing. We smiled and danced and laughed the night away.

Thank you so much to Cleveland Music Group, and especially to Matt Gazdak for a seamless, professional process, and making our daughters wedding unforgettable!

The Bearded Hero

DJ Eric Smith 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!!

One of the best gigs in town! They will never disappoint you!

Scott took care of our Uplighting , we needed some advice and we got it, the room looked perfect!

Wonderful band

Lots of comments about how wonderful the band ( The Orchestra ) was!

AMAZING! INCREDIBLE!

We are the Radio was incredible! They truly are the radio…singing every genre of music. One of the best bands we’ve had at an event here at the club. Our guests didn’t stop dancing and raved all night about how much fun they were having.

Brandon & the group were very accommodating with the timing and the different sets of music from DJ, to the amazing acoustic to the party.

They definitely get a 10 out of 10 and I’m sure we will have them back at a future event. Thanks so much!!!

Amazing band that made our night!!!

The Sly Band exceeded our expectations and then some! Their energy, amazing performances, and song selection completely made our night and blew away all of our guests! Couldn’t recommend them enough! Dance floor was filled the ENTIRE night!

Member Guest party

Had a fantastic time. Yacht Rock Cleveland (now Böaterhead ) kept the crowd engaged all night. They fed the group’s needs, were very interactive. They also had great costume changes as well. Their flow of music was outstanding and it kept the crowd moving throughout the night. Band also was very hospitable, easy to get along with and receptive to any suggestions or changes on the fly. They were a very nice act which was very crowd pleasing. Also, the band sounded excellent as well. Great night was had by our guests.

The Best Band Ever!!!

There are a lot of things that you don’t have control over on your BIG Day! But you can have control over hiring the Best Band Ever for your reception – The Element ! The Element was outstanding!! Once we got on the dance floor our wedding turned into one of the best weddings ever. The Element had the dance floor packed all night. Our guests kept raving about the band and how one song was better than the last. They didn’t want to take a break from dancing. Erin Rossi was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. She made herself available and handled so much! We didn’t have to worry at all! Much love to the Cleveland Music Group and The Element! Thank you!

Wonderful Wedding Band!

We are so glad that we chose The Avenue as our wedding band. Since we live out of town we were a little nervous to book a band based off of online videos, but The Avenue was perfect! Tiffany (the band leader) was so easy to work with and she listened to all our requests. They definitely kept people on the dance floor the whole evening- would highly recommend!

Friendly and professional

James was a great host for the photobooth !

Best live band!

RadioActive was a HIT! I had multiple people at my wedding say they forgot a band was playing because they did every song SO WELL. Music makes or breaks the wedding and choosing a live band was one of the best decisions we made. The sound was on point, not too loud and ear piercing and the song choices were perfect. We loved every second of Radioactive! Thank you!

Wedding review

Loved the music that DJ PJ played and kept the party going. Captured our style of preferred music throughout the entire reception.

Absolutely Amazing!

DJ Scott Jones was amazing!! He kept our guests on the dance floor all night. People have said to us numerous times that he was the best DJ they’d seen at a wedding! We had so many special requests, including on the day of our wedding, and he accommodated every single one of them. He interacted with our guests and engaged them the entire night. You know it’s a good thing when people were complaining the next day that their feet hurt from dancing all night! The Open-Air Photobooth was awesome and we LOVED that we got the jump drive with all the pictures taken the same night! We all had a blast and it was because of Scott & Co. You guys are rock stars, thank you for everything! We’ll be recommending you to all of our friends and family!

Fantastic service!!!

I’m so glad we used Cleveland Music Group and DJ GAZ for our wedding. Scott was so helpful in answering all of our questions and making sure we felt comfortable throughout the whole planning process, and was always super quick to respond to anything we needed. DJ GAZ was a great choice as well – he was so nice and accommodating, and his music selection was on point! All of my guests were raving about what a great time they had – he even got a few of the non-dancers out on the dance floor! We couldn’t be happier with how everything went and would highly recommend them!

The Bottom Line had been the band at two of my best friends’ weddings, and I chose them for my wedding because of the amazing time that I had with them before. They did not disappoint!! My guests and I spent the whole night dancing! The energy and music were perfect, and I would recommend The Bottom Line to anyone!

Top Shelf Open Format DJ

We had the pleasure of booking DJ 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 recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ, our reception hall even asked for his info so they could begin recommending him to their future couples. It was a great experience and we really enjoyed the night, thanks, in part, to Christian’s performance.

Very pleased!

DJ Bill Bowen was extremely professional, keeping the focus on the bride and groom. And he kept the dance floor full all night with a great selection of music! He also took the time to meet with us before the wedding date. We highly recommend Bill!

Great music and a pleasure to work with!

The Element was a perfect addition to our young adult party! Their leader, Erin, was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. The band was collaborative and worked with us to get the perfect set list. I wholeheartedly recommend The Element for your next corporate or private function.

The Avenue was incredible, we had absolutely rave reviews! I don’t think there was a moment that someone wasn’t on the dance floor. The band was tight, the vocals were perfect, the set list was spot on for the crowd and the sound was terrific! We could not have been more pleased!!!

TCB was outstanding! Very professional from start to finish. Mike was great to work with and very accommodating. The dance floor was packed all evening. Couldn’t ask for anything better!

The two caricature artists that came to our Employee Recognition event were absolutely wonderful! Everyone loved having their caricature drawn. It truly made our event special.

Best. Ever.

DJ Scott Jones is the best in the business! He was so friendly, professional, and incredibly intuitive — you can tell he’s been doing this for many years, and that he truly loves every second of it. The dance floor at our wedding was packed the entire night, and our guests are still talking about the experience he cultivated. In our pre-wedding meetings he listened to what we wanted, gave us suggestions when we needed them, and even customized a song for my father who wanted to surprise me for our father/daughter dance. He was always available to discuss anything we wanted to talk about, and was always incredibly quick to respond to my messages. He played a wonderful variety of music and took requests, integrating them into our playlist seamlessly. I truly cannot compliment Scott and the Cleveland Music Group enough!

Very happy with our wedding entertainment!

The number one thing that can make or break a wedding is the deejay. When it came to entertainment, there are only two companies in NE Ohio that I recommend, so we started with CMG. The entire staff at CMG is amazing- Scott Jones is the best in the biz and each professional that works for him reflects the same values and professionalism. Office staff is friendly and helpful.

We planned our wedding in under 8 months, so the deejays I was familiar with were booked already. We chose our deejay off recommendation and his video- DJ Dan Cormier . We love Dan! He set up a meeting to chat about our details form and go over some of our questions. We were one of those couples who annoyingly created their own play list, but he was so awesome about it. He had a lot of ideas on how to incorporate some of our choices into the day and made sure he helped create exactly the wedding we wanted. He asked me to leave a voice mail 2 weeks prior with the pronunciation of our wedding party names which I thought was awesome.

Here’s an example of why this was a perfect choice for us: Dan knew that we wanted a packed dance floor all night. We also wanted to do a sparkler send off, but was afraid we’d lose guests too early, so we decided to invite just the wedding party and parents for the send off. Hubby and I were waiting in the hallway to go outside and I hear the Macarena playing inside. Immediately I went ‘What the hell? For SURE the Macarena wasn’t on our music list!’ It only took a second for me to realize what he was doing- DJ DC knows that the Macarena (or any other line dance) will keep people on the dance floor PLUS he avoided playing one of ‘our’ songs because he knew we’d miss it. Obviously, this is quick thinking and why you get what you pay for- a true professional!

Our dance floor was packed until they kicked us out. SO much that the dance floor was actually bouncing. DJ DC kept our party rockin and accommodated any changes we threw at him. Somehow, he managed to squeeze in most of the songs from our playlist. It was the perfect night and we couldn’t thank Dan enough for providing us with great entertainment.

That being said- I know we picked out entire playlist. But there is a HUGE difference between ‘just pay for Spotify and let it play on a laptop’ and an experienced deejay emceeing your evening. Trust your wedding to someone who knows what they’re doing.

We were extremely happy with TCB at our wedding! Mike was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and the whole band was amazing. We received so many compliments from our guests and TCB had the dance floor full the entire night! Highly recommend them!

Wonderful Dj, professional and fun

Dave Eubanks is a very likable DJ with years of experience which really was clear at our wedding. From our initial meetings with Dave to our reception, Dave was a true professional. His performance at the ceremony went off without a hitch and kept people dancing the entire night. Don’t think twice about hiring Dave; he is a really nice guy and a wonderful DJ.

DJ Mike Alexander was amazing for our wedding! He listened to our requests for how we wanted the night to go, and everything turned out perfect! Guests danced the night away and everyone had a great time. He gave us a CD of our dinner playlist to keep, which was a very nice added touch as well. We would recommend Cleveland Music Group to anyone!

We could not have asked for a better band for our wedding! Erin was awesome to work with and made everything so easy and stress free! We received multiple compliments from our guests on how great and talented the band was – people did not leave the dance floor the entire night! I can not say enough great things about The Element and would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Picture Perfect

We hired CLE Music Group for a photo booth for our final open house of the year. They did a fantastic job. We had many activities going on that night and the photo booth was a huge hit. Many people commented on how quickly the line went and what a great keepsake they got to go home with. I highly recommend them and we will look to use their service in the future!

Top Notch from Start to Finish!

We and our guests LOVED The Element ! We had several guests comment both during and after the reception about how great the band was and wanting to know how we’d found them. Before dinner was even served, my mom approached me to tell me how much she loved the band – and they were only in their dinner music set!

Erin Rossi was amazing to work with – before we’d even booked them, we expressed interest in seeing them play live, and Erin reached out by email to encourage us to see them at an upcoming show at Brothers Lounge. We did, and loved them right away. Erin was friendly and engaging and chatted with us during one of their breaks. Not only that, there were at least two other couples there who had had The Element at their wedding and came out to see them play again.

Then as the wedding date approached, we met with Erin and immediately knew our reception was in great hands. She was detail-oriented, asked a lot of great questions, and really tried to get a sense of just what kind of party we wanted to have for our wedding reception.

And then she and the band delivered! Neither my husband and I, nor many of our guests, had much of a voice the next morning, because we’d been singing along all night to the band. You know you have a great band when the dance floor stays full, even during the breaks, when the ipod sets are playing – and our dance floor never emptied! Erin gets the crowd engaged – stepping onto the dance floor herself to encourage everyone’s involvement…she even pulled our two nephews onto the stage so they could show off their dance moves!

The Element far exceeded all of our expectations, and we highly recommend them!

Amazing Experience

I was thrilled with our DJ at our reception, I had many people comment about how he was fantastic. They talked about his selection of music, how he knew just how much to talk and not talk. I could not be happier with our experience with DJ DC , he was very professional and truly made our wedding day an enjoyable experience. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is having a wedding or other function where they want their guests to have fun!

Thank you to DJ Bill and Paul- they were fantastic. Bill was easily the most professional and seasoned vendor that I worked with for my big day. He led the way through all of our toasts and dances and played exactly what our guests wanted to hear. We couldn’t have done it without him. Highly, highly recommend.

TRIO 2018 Graduation Ceremony

Virginia the harpist is always very professional. We were running a bit late and she adjusted to fit our schedule. Love her!

Best dance party of our lives!

DJ Eric Smith was great as was all of the the staff at Cleveland Music Group. Their communication was timely and thorough and everyone was very friendly. Our wedding guests loved the music! I (the bride) didn’t leave the dance floor the whole night. Eric played a great mix of music that was accessible to all of our guests. He adhered to our requests for what we did and didn’t want to hear and it was truly a blast.

The Band that keeps the Party Rolling

Had the absolute pleasure of having Rick and his crew as our wedding band. Rick was professional, helpful and extremely patient as I asked many questions out of his scope. He was very accommodating to make last minute changes for small details that I had overlooked. He had a thorough questionnaire that helped me really think through what I needed to include. The Edge was amazing. Our dance floor was full all night. The song selection was very extensive and we just chose the ones we liked the most. Our guests gushed about the band and the quality and I can say the same, the value was fabulous! I truly can’t say enough about this group. I would say that this is a band that covers ALL ages and was exactly what we wanted. Their variety of oldies, Motown, pop, was perfect.

Chris Wallace did an incredible job DJing at our wedding . We had a few last minute changes and he coordinated everything seamlessly. He also got everyone out on the dance floor the whole night. All of our guests could not stop raving about how much fun they had dancing.

Epic wedding according to our guests…

If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding in Cleveland look no further than Scott Jones with CLE Music Group . He was truly outstanding. Speaking as the mother of the bride, Scott Jones took over from the moment we ended the ceremony to the end of the AMAZING reception. Our guests NEVER stopped dancing with Scott Jones. The dance floor was enjoyed by young and old alike. He made sure everyone could hear the toasts made to the couple and to highlight the IMPORTANT events. He truly is the guy!

The Sonata Strings were outstanding, professional, and truly memorable for our daughter’s wedding. John Toula provided guitar music during our cocktail hour. I could not have been more pleased.

I am a hard to please person (not from Cleveland) and CLE Music Group made me a believer in the gifts of Cleveland. I cannot THANK this outstanding organization enough. All weddings are special, but this was EPIC with the help of CLE Music Group.

OHS was a huge success!

Thank you DJ Brian McDonald for your service. You never disappoint us and made Orange High School prom the best yet!! We look forward to working with you next year.

Awesome Job!

DJ Scott Jones did such an awesome Job! There were people on the dance floor the entire night and it was a good mix of music. We truly enjoyed having you celebrate Kelly and Mitch’s day. Thanks

Wedding Music

DJ Eric Smith was AMAZING! He kept everyone on the dance floor for the entire night-he even played an extra song after the time was over. He was extremely professional and kind. He made everyone comfortable, especially my now-husband and I. He made it an unforgettable night!

Fantastic Job!

We are so thankful to have booked The Element for our daughters wedding! First and foremost, they set up the sound perfectly for our evening at the Old Courthouse. This is a very difficult venue for acoustics. Many people had told us horror stories of not being able to understand any speeches and just having a muffled overall sound. This was not our experience at all. Whatever they did, it worked! We were able to fully hear the ceremony and speeches.

The band itself was great! They played a wide variety of music and kept the dance floor full all night! They also interacted well with the bride and groom and the guests. Thank you Erin and Tony and the rest of The Element band! You were a pleasure to work with! Thank you as well to Scott Jones for your professionalism. We definitely recommend Cleveland Music Group and The Element to anyone for any event but especially for the Old Courthouse!

Exceptional performance and professionalism

Excellent customer service, outstanding performers ( The Orchestra and Dennis DeSapri on accordion ) and just a friendly bunch all around!

Great experiece

Good preparation before the event asking for music styles, guests, must-have songs and particular tastes. DJ Taz was open to any song I wanted.

Michelle sang for my husbands funeral and her voice was beautiful! Not only did she help me on song selection but she also coordinated with the music director at church so that I did not have to worry about anything.

We can’t say enough good things about The A Band ! While my bride and I didn’t have as much time to dance as we had hoped for, we enjoyed every minute we had on the dance floor and our guests had a blast all night long! Everyone complimented us on how wonderful the band was and was blown away. Thanks for the wonderful evening!

Very good job providing cocktail hour, dinner and dance music. They exceeded our expectations

Many of our guests had positive comments on the diversity and quality of music that The A Band played. All of the band members had good voices and fit perfectly with the music.

Set the tone for the event

We hired Red Light Roxy to play during the cocktail hour and dinner portion of a black tie gala fundraiser. They were professional, easy to work with, showed up on time, and played excellently. They set the mood for the rest of the night. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a classy act!

Made our Holiday Party a Hit

What terrific entertainers. All very talented and personable and we absolutely loved them. Even though we don’t have a large number of dancers in our group, everyone really enjoyed just listening to them throughout the evening. First time in my 11 years that everyone hung around until the end of the night and didn’t skip out early.

Awesome addition to our celebration!

We had the opportunity to work with The Avenue for our Grand Unveiling in October and thought that including them for our employee anniversary celebration would be a great fit.

Having a live band elevated our event to the next level!

Thank you to everyone in the band from the seamless setup to the energy and passion that was provided. Our ladies and gentlemen loved the performance, song selection and overall entertainment that was provided.

Book this Band!

If you want to throw a real party you need to book We Are The Radio . Not only did Brandon expertly and professionally emcee the event but the band absolutely killed it. The dance floor was immediately packed and it stayed like that all night, well past midnight for our NYE wedding. The charisma of this group is off the charts. I can’t tell you how many of our guests reached out in the days following the wedding to tell us how much fun they had and that it was the best wedding they’ve been to. We owe that to Brandon and the whole band.

DJ Michael Alexander did an awesome job! He was accommodating to everything we wanted for our special day. He has a great personality and the guests really enjoyed him as well! I would definitely recommend Cleveland Music Group and DJ Michael Alexander to anyone who is getting married!

Marco and I cannot thank The Avenue enough for the wonderful time everyone had at our wedding. I can’t tell you how many times I asked Marco if the song was the band or a recording. Tiffany and the other lead voices are amazing, and it has been so nice to continue hearing the positive feedback about the wedding, with the constant mention of The Avenue. Thank you for being flexible with the timing of things along with any requests that were made; you definitely set the tone for the evening. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect fit!

We hand picked most of the songs with Dwayne and the night turned out great. All of our guests were really impressed with The Orchestra !

My Daughter’s Wedding

Everything about this experience was fantastic. The people behind the scenes who set the contract and organized the band were amazing and very efficient. Professional and polite. Great with follow up and details. The Element was rocking and Erin the lead singer made the event wonderful. Her vocals are amazing. Thank you for everything.

Everything we wanted

Best wedding ever, and we loved that DJ Brent was willing to meet with us at home to plan out the whole event. We really enjoyed working with him and his ideas. Our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever attended.

Kept the dance floor packed all night!

We had Chris Wallace DJ at our wedding last weekend. He was awesome to work with, able to make quick changes to our schedule per our request, and kept the dance floor moving the entire night. Everyone had a blast, both the younger crowd and our parents and parents’ friends. Would absolutely recommend!

DJ Scott E. Jones rocked our party!

We gave DJ Scott the age ranges of our holiday party guests and let him choose the music. What could be easier? Everyone enjoyed the music and he kept the dance floor jumping. He’s a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I’ve already booked him for next year!

Company Holiday Party

Fantastic DJ! DJ Matt took requests the entire night and it seemed to allow all of our employees to dance at some point during the night. Matt was easy to work with and I would recommend and request him for our next events.

The Bearded DJ was FANTASTIC!

DJ Eric Smith , the Bearded DJ, was fantastic! He kept us and our guests on the dance floor all night. He played a good mix of music that both our older and younger guests enjoyed. He also played some of the songs that we requested in advance of our wedding. 5 stars for DJ Eric Smith and Cleveland Music Group!!!

Our evening wedding was highlighted by a “surprise visit” from the Soul Men . The place basically erupted with laughter and fun. Their show was terrific and their fun personalities made the whole reception a great time.

Excellent Wedding Band

The band leader for Sunrise Jones reached out to us and was very accommodating to requests. Very easy to work with. On the day of the event, they were great during the early part in terms of emceeing and then when it came time to have them play, they rocked the set list. Everyone had a great time.

DJ Brent was lit!

We were amazed by DJ Brent . He was friendly, professional, and just an all around nice guy. But let’s get down to the music. I gave Brent very little direction in our meeting before the wedding of what exactly to play or not play; this is what he does for a living and he knows what works, I trusted him. We got compliments all night on our DJ, people kept coming up to us and telling us, as we were dancing, how amazing our DJ was. Not only did Brent play songs that everyone loved, but the order in which he played the songs was perfect! The whole night flowed well, and we are still having people tell us 3 weeks later how amazing the DJ was and how much fun they had. My wish for the reception was I wanted people on the dance floor the entire night, and DJ Brent definitely made it happen! I will recommend Cleveland Music Group and DJ Brent to anyone I know getting married. Hands down, best choice we could have made!

Beyond Expectations

We were extremely happy to have Eric provide our music and DJ at our wedding ! He was extremely professional and fun – truly a pleasure to work with. He made sure to play all of our requests and did a great job announcing the wedding party and special moments throughout our night. I would highly recommend him be part of your next event.

Awesome group

Rossi & Romano was the perfect addition to our company holiday party! Very professional, very personable, very talented musicians with great voices. We even had a business associate attending from Germany and he was quite impressed with the entertainment. Can’t say enough good things, they’re a great group, great fun, and really good people. Even those not dancing enjoyed just sitting back and taking in the music. End of the night, everyone had a great time.

Thanks again for making it one of our best parties ever.

Nothing but positive responses for DJ Bill Bowen;  he read the crowd well and kept people out on the dance floor all night. He kept the volume just right, not so loud you could not hear what people were saying, and could socialize, but loud enough for all on the dance floor to enjoy. Bill was very flexible with the timing of the event. Thank you for a GREAT job!

The music of Esto Jazz made the event comfortable and more fun.

Aside from the obvious joy that comes with marrying your best friend… New York Minute was the next best thing about our wedding! So unbelievably talented and just an absolute blast. They had everyone on the dance floor from the very first song. Their range was incredible, and they created a mixed set list that had everyone dancing and singing along. We had people commenting to us all night about how wonderful they were. It was particularly cold the night of our wedding, and they never missed a beat. They were true professionals and we really couldn’t have asked for anything more. Best night ever, best band ever!

Perfect DJ!

We cannot say enough great things about Cleveland Music Group and DJ Eric Smith . From the start they were organized, professional and made our wedding one to remember. DJ Eric had our guests dancing the entire time! He didn’t take over the mic but helped facilitate our wedding so that everything went smooth. He even scheduled a phone call with us before the wedding to make sure everything was just the way we wanted it. We would definitely recommend Cleveland Music Group and DJ Eric to anyone for their music needs!

They crushed it!

RadioActive did an amazing job at our wedding. They were great with not only the top 40 stuff but also the oldies. On top of the musical performance, they had a great stage presence allowing the night to flow perfectly. We got rave reviews from guests of all ages stating that RadioActive was hands down the best wedding band they had ever seen!!

RadioActive was great! They were very good about sticking to the songs requested and avoided the ones we didn’t want. We paid a little extra for continuos play during our 3 hour event and it was worth it! They got everyone out on the dance floor!

AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING

Working with Cleveland Music Group has always been a pleasure. While I am writing today as a bride, I also work with them as a coordinator at a venue. I can say with great pleasure that they are without a doubt the best in the industry on all regards. I have NEVER had a bad experience when working with anyone provided by this company. I used their DJ and Open-Air Photobooth services and both were top notch. My dance floor was full the entire time, Scott the DJ kept my bridal party in line and kept the party going the entire night. I fully trusted him with providing the playlist for the night and he did a fantastic job. I knew I was going with the right choice from day one but after all was said and done it was even better then I could have imagined.

Awesome experience

This band (The Orchestra) is the best. Kept us on the dance floor all night.

Perfect wedding!

I am so happy I went with Cleveland Music Group for our wedding. The music and running of our timeline was perfect. DJ Scott took my music taste into account and played music that we enjoyed the entire evening. He was flexible and able to keep the wedding running throughout the night without a glitch. Thank you so much!

Amazing night

We received more amazing reviews for Josh (guitar) than ever, even from other vendors. DJ Chris Wallace kept everyone out on the dance floor all night long and was very flexible with our timeline. We were very happy with all services!

Best Time Ever!

We were so lucky to have Erin, Tony and the band members of The Element at our wedding. They were unbelievable! They had everyone up and dancing from the first song until the very end of the night. Erin was fantastic to plan with and took all the stress away that night. Every song they played was perfect and kept the party going. We wouldn’t have wished for anything different and they helped the night the best night ever!!!

Incredible and Professional

Both Cleveland Music Group and the band Radiate Live made the booking and scheduling simple. They helped work within my budget and created the perfect atmosphere for my event. I could not have been more satisfied. We will be booking them again in the future.

Great Wedding DJ

Everyone loved DJ Brian . He played a variety of songs fast/slow, older/newer that kept everyone on the floor and having a blast! Several people commented that he was very good.

Fantastic entertainment for our wedding

We asked Phil Turk to perform during cocktail hour and dinner for our wedding reception and he was FANTASTIC. We unfortunately did not get to see him during cocktail hour but we heard rave reviews from our guests! DJ Christian dela Vega did an incredible job of communicating with us before the big day, from organizing our timeline to picking out the perfect playlist. We were planning our wedding from Atlanta, but Christian was incredibly flexible so we could grab a bite with him a few days before our wedding. Our main goal was to have our guests on the dance floor the entire night and boy did he deliver.

It was a pleasure working with Tony from CMG and with Phil and Christian. They all made our night unforgettable.

Truly Amazing

We hired Nate Jones to perform at our ceremony and cocktail hour and he did not disappoint! He was amazing. His voice provided the perfect background for cocktail hour and we received numerous compliments throughout the night about his playing and music selection. Our night would not have been the same had it not been for Nate. Thank you so much for providing another great memory for us to add to our wedding!

Radioactive ROCKS!!

Radioactive was absolutely incredible! They were even better than we imagined. Such a fun group! We received so many compliments on our band that night!

Made our day great!

We have been so pleased with Cleveland Music Group from our very first meeting with Tony in sales to the end of our big day! Our DJ Christian met all of our wants and needs was fun to be around! People were using the Halo photo booth and looked like they were having a good time! Cleveland Music Group was a major part of our wedding day and did a great job in every aspect! Thank you!!

Best Night of Our Lives!!

We hired We Are the Radio for our wedding reception in October. We were, at first, a little nervous only because we had not seen them perform live, only online. From the moment we started working with them, it was smooth, easy and very professional. Our wedding night was seriously “epic!!!!” This word was used multiple times by our guests and us! A BIG shout out to the whole band, especially the lead singer and MC, Brandon! He was so much fun and kept the night light and fun!! Hell, they let my husband and I karaoke a song!! EPIC!! Anyway, we loved the band and Cleveland Music Group and would recommend them to anyone, anytime, anywhere!! Best night ever!!

Great Groups

The Sonata String Quartet was a perfect addition to the ceremony. They were on time and professional and played wonderful selections. The reception band Pop Avenue was also a wonderful choice, they played all of the songs we requested and sounded amazing. I would highly recommend both of these acts if you are planning to have live music at your wedding.

Greg Coffey and the Cleveland Keys

Greg Coffey and the Cleveland Keys did an excellent job. Played non-stop from a little after 2 to 4:00-4:30. Arrived on time and set up in the morning. Very talented sax and pianist / drummer trio. Covered all eras 60s to top 40.

Hire The Cleveland Keys Trio

The groom wrote the following and I agree with all he said:

“There is really only one word to describe these guys, amazing! We would 100% hire them again (and again and again). Do yourself a favor and hire them. Let me add the caveat that we do not know the band personally so this isn’t a review from someone’s family member. We learned about them when looking at bands online. Here are some specifics. The Cleveland Keys Trio :

*Showed up several hours early to get set up to make sure there weren’t issues (helpful on stressful wedding days). *Were friendly, courteous, etc. the whole time. *Got a whole group of older guests (70+) onto the dance floor (no easy feat). *Took open requests for songs–this is pretty amazing as how many bands can play anything. *Allowed several drunken guests to attempt to sing (and helped them along with the vocals). *Gladly let a guest play guitar with them (the guest was good at guitar but still most bands would be annoyed having a guest join in).

We requested a song they didn’t know and they learned it on their break and played it after — it sounded great. We didn’t hear anything but positive comments from guests. What more can you ask for. On a scale of 1 to 10 these guys were an 11. Hire them.”

The Element is AMAZING as usual!

The group LOVED The Element.  Their musical selections, professionalism, ability to deal with the cold weather and so much more was simply fantastic.

The entire band is just incredible; I would recommend them to play any event at any time. The music is timeless and the vocals just perfection. I am partial as I love that Erin Rossi!

The entire wedding was a giant hit because of the band. They started with an acoustical set during dinner that was so good some people actually got up and danced during dinner. Then they played fantastic music that was crisp and clear and really rocked!! They never took a break and they engaged with the audience the entire evening. Afterwards we had a DJ for an additional hour and he played awesome music that everyone danced to and begged for more (3 encores). The very last thing he did was have everyone make a circle around the bride and groom and took a moving video of all the dancers while we sang along. There were no less then 100 people on the dance entire evening. Thank you “ WE ARE THE RADIO ” You Guys are the BEST!!

great night

Everything was great, guests had a blast and kept telling us how great The Orchestra was 🙂

True Professionals!

DJ Larry was great! He stayed on top of the agenda and kept the night moving (literally). He knew the perfect music to play and everyone had a blast. Thanks Larry!

Dave Eubanks was fantastic! He played a great mix of music and kept people on the dance floor all night long! Dave was personable and great to work with. He wants to make the bride and groom happy and he did! Would highly recommend.

Blew us away

The Element was exceptional. The organization, the flow of music, the singing quality, everything was amazing. I was so blown away by their professionalism in planning and their flexibility with understanding we didn’t have all the details ironed out yet. Erin was so helpful and so wonderful to work with I would recommend her and the band to any and every person I know. They play all kinds of music and know how to get all guests on their feet!

They were awesome!

We Are the Radio did a great job! Brandon reached out beforehand to make sure everything would be perfect. He did a great job emceeing. And then the band did awesome – they got everyone dancing. Great mix pod music. Multiple musician friends talked about how high quality they were, and other friends complimented the energy and song choices. Great all around!

The Party Never Stopped!

Thank you Chris and the entire CMG Team for such an amazing time at our wedding! From working with Tony in the beginning to having DJ Chris Wallace at our wedding , we enjoyed every minute and the process was so easy. Chris kept our guests on the floor and dancing the entire time! We literally had about 4 hours of open music and the dance floor was never empty. Thank you CLE Music Group for helping make our wedding a killer event!!

DJ Dave was amazing and so much fun to work with, he created a mash up for our first dance and kept our dance floor full all night! We received so any compliments for our guests, we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ on our big day. Thank you Dave!!

Outstanding

Compliments were flowing like water the night of the event and people are still talking today at work how wonderful The Orchestra was! The music was outstanding!

Awesome performance

Bottom Line is the best wedding band you can get. Stan and Ruthie are outstanding vocalists. The rest of the band right on all night. Everything was very tight.

They handled all the logistics, introductions, announcements, first dance, cake cutting very professionally and on cue. Then got the party started and kept it going.

I got tons of compliments from the guests on how great the band was.

Forget the DJ – hire Bottom Line. Well worth every penny.

Awesome Wedding Band!

My wife and I were thrilled with Radiate Live’s performance at our wedding and from what all the guests we talked to said, they loved them as well. Sean Walsh also acted as DJ for introductions and breaks for the band and did a great job. Our guests didn’t have enough good things to say about the band and they definitely exceeded our expectations. From their songs to the energy they brought, everything was great. We’d definitely recommend them to anyone else looking for a band for their reception (or another event). Thanks for helping make our special day that much better!

10/21/2017 Wedding

AMAZING!!!!!! DJ Scott Jones was the absolute best! We met Scott at my cousin’s wedding last year and we knew we needed him at our wedding when we got engaged. Scott was attentive, interactive and so much fun. I heard from multiple guests that he played the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding! Scott was able to weave in many special parts and requests we had. From mentioning my little cousin’s first birthday to playing a special polka song for my grandpa to the tarantella being played for my Uncle’s retirement…he made it all happen! Thanks for making our wedding unforgettable!

DJ Taz was OUTSTANDING

We hired DJ Taz for our wedding , and couldn’t have had a better experience. From our first phone conversation, early in the wedding planning phase, we immediately like Hector (DJ Taz). He was friendly and engaging and seemed just as excited for our wedding as we were. As we planned, we gave him our order of events and song list and he reviewed that with me over the phone, which made me feel much less stressed about the upcoming wedding. I knew the music and dance floor was covered.

During the event, he was a highlight of the wedding. The dance floor was packed, he interacted with guests, and went above and beyond to make sure we were having fun. We sincerely couldn’t have had a better DJ and would recommend Hector and Cleveland Music Group to any friend or family member.

Thanks for making our wedding memorable!

Perfect music that kept everyone on the dance floor!

DJ Eric Smith (The Bearded DJ) was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly responsive and played every single one of our suggestions, and had perfect song recommendations. He kept the music flowing, with no breaks in between songs, and played a nice variety of music that everyone loved. I would highly recommend Eric!

CLE Music is the the only choice for a wedding!

Everything about the performance of both the band and the harpist was flawless! From planning our timeline and music selection to executing an unforgettable night with tricky Courthouse acoustics, they were fantastic. The dance floor was full the entire evening and The Element absolutely crushed it! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day.

Fun, Upbeat, and Professional Service

DJ Eric Smith was great from the beginning. We had a consultation with him before our wedding to ensure we had the music we wanted but also so we were all on the same page for the flow of the big day. Eric helped us stay on time throughout the entirety of the event and when we wanted to change a few things at the last minute he was more than accommodating. We appreciated that Eric understood our style and sense of music, which was shown throughout our event. He helped keep everyone on the dance floor and even helped us cater to our Italian and Puerto Rican relatives who wanted more traditional music. Eric also did a FANTASTIC job keeping up the energy moving from cocktail hour to the reception by way of the introductions of our bridal party. He made everyone laugh AND feel special! Lastly, Eric was able to find our ceremony music and perfectly blended each song together to help make our ceremony flow nicely. We are so happy with his performance and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for any type of event. Thanks, Eric!

Our night was amazing and we have to thank DJ Scott Jones greatly for that. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone was shocked when it was time for the last song. Time flew! He played all the right kind of music that had guests of all ages enjoying every song. Our bridal party got a little out of hand at certain points before reception intros and Scott was good at getting them in check and making everything happen the way it was supposed to. We have gotten so many compliments about our wedding and the dance floor was a huge factor in that! Thank you Scott!!!

Just amazing

My wife and I are both musicians, so we were very picky about what music we wanted played and the standard of DJ we were looking for. DJ Brian McDonald did an exceptional job! He nailed all of our requests for parent dances and introductions, and did an unbelievable job live spinning and creating the club atmosphere we were after. Our one minor complaint is that he didn’t play most of our “Must play” and playlist songs, but he kept the dance floor packed all night and was otherwise so incredible that it didn’t end up making it unenjoyable by any means. We received compliments on him all night and would use him again in a heartbeat. Very professional, laid back, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone!

AMAZING BAND!!!!!

I have to say that our wedding was beautiful, but our wedding was AMAZING because of the Bottom Line . Every single person in the band was so nice and genuine! The band played such good songs that the guests were on the dance floor before their food was even served! People were on the dance floor the entire reception which was extremely important for us. They played all great songs and kept the fun going all night long. They were very interactive with the crowd and know how to entertain! We had such a blast with them and they are truly amazing, talented performers. Guests were saying this was the best band they have ever heard. We can’t wait for our next big party so that we can have the Bottom Line come back! We Love Stan and the whole band!!!

DJ London Bridges did an amazing job with our wedding. From the very start he set the tone for our wedding and had people on their feet the whole night. He was even paying attention to the speeches by our family and tailored his performance according to what was said. We were blown away by his professionalism throughout the event. Would recommend him 100%.

DJ DC for the win!

DJ DC was a fabulous DJ for our wedding! His communication with us prior to the event was great. He was punctual to our event. His playlist was amazing and he was a wonderful MC. Thank you so much for helping make our day special!

Best Band EVER

Erin Rossi is the best in the business. I have worked with her prior to my wedding in different capacities and she is a consummate professional. Erin listens and understands the ambiance your family is looking to create and personalizes the band’s offering to your wishes. Erin is fast to respond and follow-up. She perfected every aspect of the wedding and no details were missed. The Element . I cannot say enough wonderful things about this band. I have worked and heard a lot of wedding bands. This one is the BEST. Family, friends and colleagues are still talking about the band and the amount of people dancing the entire night. The dance floor was PACKED. We could not get people to leave at the end of the night. The lead singer even learned the song for my father/daughter dance. It was perfect.

Best MC we could have asked for

Weddings are a lot of work. From choosing flowers to linens, cake to food, dress to suit and DJ to Photographer, it is a lot of work and can be very frustrating trying to find the perfect fit…we found that fit with DJ Scott Jones .

Before meeting with Scott I sent out many emails to not only him but also a handful of others. Scott always immediately answered my emails and all of my questions. I asked so many questions that I was worried he may be getting annoyed but I never got that feeling based on how quickly and professionally he answered all of them. Once our interviews began we met with four different companies, Cleveland Music Group being the last.

The first three we met with we were just not very happy with and it seemed like they wanted to make our wedding something we did not want it to be. When we met with Scott he was super laid back and listened to us. He never interrupted, he never pushed his own agenda, he was truly there to make us feel comfortable, and comfortable we felt. We knew Scott was the guy for us. One thing I’ll never forget is when he told us that the music speaks for itself. What he meant by that was it is not hard to go up and play music and keep people entertained. What he stood proud of was his ability as an MC. I have been to plenty of weddings where the formalities seemed to drag on, or after cocktail hour trying to get guests sat back down can seem like an impossible feat. But not for Scott. He had total room control, and was able to get our guests’ attention and get them where they needed to be. He did everything we asked and then some. The night was perfect…except when my bride realized we did not have the garter. Scott was able to adapt. We moved things around and the sequence of events actually worked out better and I’m not so sure they would have without his help.

I would recommend Scott to anyone and I told him that after the reception. My wife and I were lucky enough to have found such wonderful people to help us with our wedding. I was able to ask Scott questions that had absolutely nothing to do with the music and he answered them with expert knowledge. I used him as my wedding planner in some aspects.

What my wife and I realized was Scott was the professional and we were rookies. We let him do his job without any interference and it was amazing. To all of the future Mr. and Mrs. out there, choose Cleveland Music Group and if he is available choose Scott. If he is not available, I’m sure everyone else would be just as good due to the fact that Scott is the president of the company and I’m sure he hires only the best. To all of the “bridezillas” out there, choose this company and rest assured that your “Zilla” can be aimed somewhere else because they will not disappoint you. Thank you again to everyone at the Cleveland Music Group and Scott for making our day so perfect.

Don’t Stop The Music

We absolutely LOVED working with DJ Eric Smith – he was professional, provided great feedback and was really organized. So many of our guests have raved about our DJ and how the dance floor was never empty. Our friends and family had an amazing time at our wedding – us included!

Eric helped to keep our day on track with cocktail hour, dinner, dancing and dessert. We absolutely would recommend working with the Bearded DJ for your wedding. Especially if you want an excellent, well-rounded mix of music that everyone will enjoy.

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how amazing The Avenue band is, and it’s hard to give them due praise without sounding cliche or corny. But if you like to dance and want your guests on the dance floor all night long having an amazing time, you HAVE to hire this band! Every time I see people who attended, the first thing they tell me is how much fun they had at our wedding and how amazing the band was. We had a wide range of guests, as most weddings do, and those that love to dance talked about how awesome it was that the dance floor was full the entire night, and those that don’t usually dance told me how great it was to let loose and that they haven’t danced that much or that much in a while. I’ve been to (and in) a lot of weddings, and while most entertainment is good to great…this band is simply exceptional. I was so impressed, and yes, I know I’m biased, but still…

We had 300+ attendees, and once the dancing started, no one went back to their seats (this was told to me by a number of people, including some of the wait staff from the evening who were shocked at how much people were dancing and how good a time everyone was having). They were so good that when I got back to work after our honeymoon, I was told we hired this band for our spring fundraiser simply because of how awesome they were at our wedding!

You simply can’t go wrong hiring this band. It’s one decision you will never regret.

This band is large, so rightfully so it’s a bit on the pricey side, and I was hesitant at first because it was more than we had planned to spend. It was worth EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY. No joke. If you love music and want it to be a focal point for your wedding, I cannot suggest this band enough.

Furthermore, Tiffany (the band leader) is as nice and professional as they come. Always responsive and reliable, she took great care to ensure the night went exactly how we envisioned, all the names were pronounced correctly during introductions (and we had some tough ones), everything was timely and seemingly effortless…she adhered to every small detail and made sure we considered things we would never have thought of in the first place.

A…ma…zing

We only got married 4 days ago and we have already had at least 20 people tell us it was the best band they’d ever seen at a wedding. My biggest wedding fear was an empty dance floor, but by the time The Orchestra got halfway through their second song, there wasn’t even enough room for all of our guests… there were people dancing next to tables!!

They were accommodating, easy to work with, and an absolute blast… they even learned an extra song for us (outside of our formal bridge/groom, father/daughter dances, and etc.)

I could go on and on and on about how many amazing things I could say, but I Think it’s important to mention that there is absolutely nothing BAD I could say about Dwayne and this entire band of incredibly talented musicians and entertainers… I will only “sing” their praises.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Outstanding group, great variety of music, professional appearance, very cooperative.

Rick and the Cutting Edge band was all we had hoped for and more. Our guests were 100% in agreement that they were a terrific band with a feel for the audience. Great variety of music, with an outstanding entertainment value. We would hire them again without hesitation.

Scott was a rockstar!!

From the checklist weeks before the wedding to the last song, DJ Scott Jones nailed it. He played everything that our guests wanted to hear and made the us as the bride and groom never want to leave the dance floor. It was an amazing night and we owe that in part to the music that set the mood! Thank you Scott, you lived up to the reviews and name that you give to yourself!

Fun Times!!!!!

DJ Christian was awesome! He really catered to guests of all ages as he stated he would. My little brothers 6 and 9 danced all night, as well as guests of all ages. Very professional and a great time. He played the songs we and our guests enjoyed the most. The DJ was very timely in his arrival and setup and gave smooth entertainment.

What a night!

DJ Brent was one of the easiest and best DJs I’ve worked with. He understood the type of wedding we wanted and executed it to perfection. Brent made our wedding night unique, special, and most of all… fun!

Can’t Say Enough Good Things!

I seriously can’t say enough good things about our experience with Cleveland Music Group. We contracted two groups – guitarist Nate Jones for our cocktail hour and DJ DC for our reception. Nate set the perfect tone for our evening. DJ DC followed and did not disappoint. The dance floor was packed the entire night, right up until the last song. In addition, DJ DC was amazing in terms of planning for the big day. We had a phone conversation where we reviewed how the big day would go. He was thorough and attentive, and he delivered! Plus, we provided CDs of the dinner and reception music. A perfect added touch. I would definitely recommend Cleveland Music Group to anyone!

Great Music

The Avenue played great music and everyone wanted to get up and dance! Tiffany did a great job as emcee for the beginning of the reception!

Wonderful Experience and Amazing Quartet

We thoroughly enjoyed working with the Appassionata String Quartet for our September 2nd wedding. Leah was easy to communicate with and helped us select some lovely and timeless classical pieces for our wedding. The quartet was flawless during the ceremony itself (e.g. changing music for different sections of the wedding party, a musical interlude prior to saying our vows) and our guests raved about the music they played during cocktail hour as well. We highly recommend them!

We Are The Radio made our reception. Brandon started off the evening with so much energy and himself and the rest of the band kept that energy flowing all night long. My husband and I had one main goal in mind for our wedding reception: enjoy it as much as possible with each other and dance all night long–We Are The Radio made that happen. All of our guests had a blast as well and we received so much positive feedback regarding We Are The Radio. Best decision to have them at our reception to make it the best day ever!!! Thank you to Brandon and the rest of the band!

Great music for a wedding reception!

TCB is a great band-our guests danced the night away! Mike, the band leader, was very easy to work with & followed through on all the timing for announcements & events.

Engagement Party ….Awesome!

John and I celebrated our engagement with family and friends. Johnathan Hooper opened the celebration at the piano and was wonderful. It was the perfect entertainment during dinner.

Then Christian Dela Vega took it from there as our DJ. He was remarkable. Very professional, fun and excellent at his ‘craft’. Everyone loved him and commented how great the DJ was all night. The music selection, lighting etc. were perfect. Christian is very personable and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him and Johnathan.

We had DJ Dan Cormier (DC) do the music at our wedding, and got compliments left and right from our guests about how great he was! Our literal worst nightmare was that nobody would want to dance, but DJ DC played the perfect songs and our dance floor was consistently packed! He was very responsive to our conversations about songs we loved and definitely didn’t want to be played. Overall, we highly recommend him, as well as Cleveland Music Group overall! Very nice people to work with.

Crowd Pleaser

There wasn’t a guest at our wedding that didn’t rave about the Sunrise Jones Band . Their stage presence is fantastic and they play music for all ages. It was a bummer when the night was over.

DJ chris rocked the house

Our expectations were exceeded with DJ Chris . We experienced everything we asked for thanks to his pre-wedding call and survey. We appreciate his respect for not playing songs that we identified to not play, and he was very accommodating for our processional music and our dinner music themes.

DJ DC did a great job! The dance floor was still full at midnight. He did a great job of balancing the music, reading the crowd and keeping the party going. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!

The Bearded DJ!

Wow! DJ Eric Smith did a fantastic job keeping the upbeat dance energy going all night!! It was more like as if he was celebrating our night with us than providing the DJ music service for us! We love his music choices and had family and friends young and old out of their seats and dancing the entire night!!!!

Party until the very end!

We are the Radio was awesome! They exceeded all expectations even with the expectations being sky high. We had friends on the dance floor that typically don’t dance during the wedding — the first thing people said was the band rocked!

DJ Bill Bowen is the best in town. Our dance floor was full the entire night. Our guests didn’t want to leave. Hire him!

We Are The Radio was absolutely amazing. We knew while looking for bands that we would be paying about double what a DJ would cost and we were a little nervous about cost. They were definitely worth it and we would do the exact same thing over again. Everyone thought the band was great! We received many compliments – guests were saying it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to, and I know We Are The Radio had a lot to do with that. Brandon does a great job interacting with the guests and keeping everyone entertained. He made the experience very personal – which is something you don’t get from DJs. One of my bridesmaids who is getting married next year tried to book them but they are, unfortunately, already booked for her date! I cannot praise them enough. It was truly an unforgettable day. They rocked it!

Booking them was also a breeze. Tony was very responsive to my emails – no matter how many questions I had. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.

Very Professional

DJ Judi was very professional, intermingled in a great way, wasn’t loud or acting as if she was the focal point of the wedding reception. We would request her again if the opportunity arose.

Perfect addition to our wedding

We had two acts for the night. We started with the Sonata Strings who played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was very easy to work with them on song choices and the timing was perfect throughout. DJ Chris was super easy to work with and had no problem following our requests for songs. He did a great job announcing the important events throughout the night without being overpowering on the mic. His music selection was so good that he kept the dance floor packed all night. We could not have asked for better music for the whole day. I would highly recommend these two acts to anyone in the future. As far as CLE Music Group in general, Erin Rossi helped us with updating contracts and any requests. She always got back to me very quickly and gave great advice when needed!

Anthony did an amazing job

Anthony did an amazing job providing classic music for cocktail hour at our wedding reception. All the guests commented on how beautiful the pianist was! While this music was beautiful, due to the amount of guests we had (~200) – the sound of the music did not carry very far and was downed out by guest conversation. This is something that should be recommended by the company during initial inquiry. Overall, the Cleveland Music Group was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend them for events looking for a pianist with a smaller crowd!

The Element band is beyond incredible. I’ve never seen a wedding crowd get so involved and have so much fun on the dance floor! Without a doubt the best part about my whole wedding was having them perform. Thank you guys for such a fun night!

Thank you for the music!

Carey Viton did a superb job. He arrived and was set up right on time. Everyone at the event enjoyed the selections. He played a variety of music that was perfect for easy listening at a Sunday morning brunch. I would request him again to play at a future event.

I booked Storyville for our club golf Invitational dinner. Typically this is a very traditional event when the guests eat, dance a little and are gone by 10pm. Not with Storyville- they had the dance floor PACKED until 1am…and not with just “young” people either. Everyone raved about this band- whether you’re in your 20s, or 70s, you’ll love this band- they play every era of music, and they play it all well. Their service was great too- Arlene reached out to me the month prior to our event, and we were in touch the week before and the week of the event. She made sure she had a clear picture of what our event was about, and our expectations. She was phenomenal, and her band was the same. I had guests coming up to me all night saying what a great band this was. Book them, you won’t be disappointed!!

Phenomenal DJ Performance

We had Eric Smith (bearded DJ) for our wedding at the downtown Hilton in Cleveland. Eric was phenomenal and did a great job. I met with him the day before to go over playlist, announcements, and anything else. He managed to work in our requests and keep a packed dance floor throughout the night. He even managed to work in the Beauty and the Beast song, which my wife loves, and that might have made her night. I don’t think we could have asked for a better DJ and I would recommend him for future weddings.

DJ Smoov was just amazing!! I had heard great things about his performances and we were not disappointed. At my reception I wanted to have great food and awesome music and after speaking with our guests it sounds as though we delivered on both counts. He was very helpful with the breakdown of events, and wanted to make sure he captured our taste in music as a couple. We’re not picky and just wanted great dancing music and something for my parents and their friends to enjoy. Even though we were not able to schedule a meeting in-person before the event, he didn’t have any problems delivering great sets with Motown to kick-off the night. He was personable, easy-going, and attentive when needed, which is just want you want when you are trying to entertain a large group of people. Thanks again for everything!!

Guests “Favorite Wedding Ever!”

Run Avril Run was exactly what we were looking for to have the most fun wedding reception. Every single guest was on the dance floor all night long! Not only is the band well-seasoned and very professional, but they could not be nicer to work with or more fun to dance and party with all night long!

The Avenue Band is nothing short of AMAZING!

The Avenue band surpassed our expectations and helped make our reception nothing short of incredible! Tiffany helped me plan the schedule for the whole reception and flawlessly made the whole thing go off without a hitch! Her calmness in moving the reception along kept both my husband and me calm the whole night and allowed us to enjoy ourselves the entire time. My Maid of Honor surprised us with a Flash Mob which included our entire 280 guests and Tiffany worked with her to make it happen and recorded the whole performance for our memories in addition to the band chiming into the recorded music.

As a whole, I just can’t say enough. If you’re planning a wedding, HURRY UP and book the AVENUE BAND! They will help make your wedding an event to remember!

Fantastic Group!

TCB provided a fantastic experience for my wedding guests. They played an excellent selection of music and were very professional to work with. I even got the chance to come up on stage an serenade my new wife in song! 100% recommend and would definitely book again for my next event.

Best. DJ. Ever.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. As soon as we met Herby we knew that we would vibe well with him. He got us. He knew our style right away, gave us helpful feedback on how to make things flow and work together cohesively and all around just clicked really well with us. Our music was flawless from beginning to end. Our dance floor was packed non-stop and everyone had an absolute blast. He knew how to cater to our guests’ wishes taking some requests, but he never lost the vibe that Ricky and I wanted to have for the night. We have heard nothing but positive feedback not only about the music but about any encounter that our guests had with him as well. He’s positive, energetic and just brought an all around good atmosphere to our night. We honestly couldn’t have had a more amazing experience. Our only regret is not having another big event to host so that we can do it all again.

Exceptional Jazz duo

Bob Esterle/Sax and Dominic Reto/Keyboard are an outstanding Jazz Duo . They embraced our Tropical theme along with their extensive repertoire. Bravo and thank you!

Great Performance!

We had The Bottom Line play out our college’s Reunion Weekend. They were an excellent choice! Guests enjoyed themselves, danced along to the music, and complimented them well after the event. Their range of music was great for an audience that varied in age and musical tastes.

BEST WEDDING BAND EVER

From the beginning, CLE Music Group and Kyle of the  K Street Band were so easy to work with. They helped with any questions or concerns we had throughout the planning process. When it came to the big day, Kyle came to us with exactly what he needed and everything could not have been more perfect. These guys are the real deal, they know how to keep the guests dancing and truly enjoying themselves! I recommend them to anyone and everyone! (Even if it’s not for a wedding!) We could not have been more happy!

My bride, guests and I were so fortunate to have RadioActive help celebrate our big day. It truly was the best entertainment for an awesome party. They were very accountable with playing what we wanted; while, still knowing the vibe of the party and playing to our guests. I was a little worried about playing music through my phone for first dance, father daughter and mother son. But they assured me they would take care of playing the songs through my phone. They completely took control of my playlist and allowed me to enjoy my wedding. It was great! The band was very welcoming and accommodating. Again. Best decision we made.

Dragon Wedding

We used Scott Jones as our wedding DJ , the Sonata Strings for our ceremony music , and Pete Cavano as our cocktail hour entertainment . We absolutely loved all of them!! Cleveland Music Group made sure all musical aspects of our wedding were on point all day long. Scott far exceeded our expectations, he is super friendly and easy to work with. He definitely gave us peace of mind knowing that he has everything under control. I really cannot say enough good things about Scott; my husband and I were just saying we need to have another event just to stay in touch! Trust me, Cleveland Music Group is by far the best choice for such a special day in your life.

(The uplighting also turned out amazing! Thank you!!)

Total Engagement

Best decision I ever made was to hire The Orchestra for my daughter’s wedding! Guests young and old were entertained & danced all night long. From the start of dinner music to the last song, guests never stopped asking where we found this terrific band! Oh, and by the way, Cleveland Music Group is a dream to work with!!!!

EPIC Wedding Dance Party

DJ London Bridges and his team made my wedding absolutely unforgettable. I truly cannot believe how well they carried out my vision and ensured that the event will be talked about for years to come. Their unrivaled talent, charisma and stage presence was magic and I feel so lucky we were able to hire them. All of my guests are asking about these guys and several want to hire them for upcoming events. They have truly mastered the art of music, MC and event management and I am so grateful. Grammy-worthy DJ and musicians and would not be surprised to see these guys at music festivals in the near future.

We have gotten nothing but great feedback about DJ Scott Jones . Scott did such a wonderful job. He was so personable and was very easy to communicate with the entire night. The guests loved the music and everything about what he did. He did a great job!!

Book this band!

If you want to throw a real party you need to book We Are The Radio . Not only did Brandon expertly and professionally emcee the event but the band absolutely killed it. The dance floor was immediately packed and the only reason people left was to grab a drink or hit up the bathroom only to immediately return. The charisma of this group is off the charts. From vocals, to music quality, to dance moves everything was top notch. I can’t tell you how many of our guests have contacted us in the following days reporting dance related injuries from the nonstop party this band provided. To sum it up – if you pass on this act, you are missing out!

We were so happy to have chosen The Element for our children’s wedding. Erin was so easy to work with; from contract to execution she didn’t miss a beat. She was proactive in contacting us to make sure we had the kind of music and vibe we wanted (both for the wedding and while on band breaks) and that all special dances were covered. Our guests are still complimenting us about the band. They made the party extra special and full of energy. I know that bands like this perform at least every weekend and they kept it fresh!

6/17 Wedding at Ariel International Center

My husband and I were lucky enough to have The Bearded DJ, Eric Smith , DJ our amazing wedding. He was such a pleasure to work with, and to be honest, one of our favorite vendors! Eric really listened to us when meeting before the wedding and was able to match the music to our wants, as well as the crowd wants on the day of! We were especially impressed when Eric ended the night with a song that my husband and I had briefly talked about that meant a lot to us! The dance floor was always completely full (people were actually dancing next to the dance floor because there was not enough room!) and Eric did a great job interacting with the crowd! We received so many compliments on how great Eric and the music was, with some friends saying it was the best “party” they had ever been to. I would highly recommend him and look forward to seeing him at our friends wedding in a few weeks! Thank you Eric! You helped me our day perfect!

Amazing Band! Had our wedding guests out on the dance floor all night! (Even before dinner!)

Tony and The Element were amazing! Tony was great to meet with and accommodated all of our song requests. They were so flexible the wedding day and our guests were having so much fun! People were out dancing even before dinner was served!

We received many compliments from guests about how fun they were and how they played such great music. I as the bride especially enjoyed them letting me come on stage for my favorite song! They also were so entertained by a few of our more “energized” guests and their dance moves. Thank you for making our wedding night celebration so much fun!

A Perfect Night!

The Orchestra was absolute perfection for our wedding. They had everyone on the dance floor all night and Dwayne made our evening run so smoothly. The music was diverse, they were engaged with our guests and we are still hearing from people that they just “loved the band!” Thank you for helping us dance the night away!

TCB was amazing! Their sound was perfect, they had an excellent mix of songs they played that kept everyone on the dance floor. Many guests came up to me telling me how amazing they were!

Chris was the perfect DJ for us! He nailed the music for the evening and went with the flow of everything even though I had the order wrong. (Sorry!!) I felt so bad. But he made me feel like it was okay! Everyone has been telling me how much they enjoyed the music and were extremely happy about the mix of old and new! I am feeling so lucky that Chris was our DJ! He was perfect!

A successful post prom event!

The photo booth fun showed on the kids faces… they had a blast with this!

DJ B provided great background music for our event… all the right songs at just the right volume to keep the energy level on a high note. Several kids made a point of saying what great job he did and that they really liked his set-up. He also did a great job on our various announcements throughout the evening (some planned, some spur of the moment). All around very friendly and accommodating.

We hired DJ Chris only 2 weeks before our wedding. He had very little time to prepare, yet did an amazing job and listened and fulfilled all our requests no matter how outlandish and international. We had a crowd of mid-30 y/o and mid-50 y/o guests, some Israeli, some Russian, and some American. He managed to keep all of us dancing the entire time with a great selection of music. He also communicated with our Rabbi as requested to coordinate the ceremony. Chris was great about answering texts and emails and was so pleasant to work with! CMG was so helpful in finding a last minute DJ with suggestions of who might work out best and a very smooth, professional experience.

DJ Dan made our wedding reception a dream come true!

DJ Dan was very professional from the beginning. He was easy to contact and answer any questions we had regarding the big day. On the day of the wedding, he made sure everything ran smoothly for the entrance, then he quickly got the party started as promised. Our guests all had a wonderful time enjoying the music and dancing, from the little kids to the grandparents. Dan was instrumental in our day being absolutely perfect. He even made us CDs of all the music played throughout the event so we can have those memories forever. Thank you so much Dan for going above and beyond!

Chris was a great DJ at our May wedding . He did the music for our ceremony perfectly and easily adapted to the two changes in our reception timeline. Guests were constantly dancing! I would highly recommend!

Awesome Band

A number of guests told us it might have been their favorite party EVER because the band and music were so great and people never left the dance floor. People kept asking where we found The Sly Band because everyone loved them.

The Orchestra played at my daughter’s wedding. They were FABULOUS! They are the perfect wedding band. They are both great musicians and entertainers and they appeal to both young and old. Everyone was up and dancing throughout the entire evening. A number of guests approached me and asked: “Where did you find this great band.” I would highly recommend them.

One of the top priorities for our wedding was having a band. We spent a lot of time searching for the perfect band and came across Cleveland Music Group online. Scott Jones was extremely helpful in the initial process and was always very responsive. We ended up choosing The Avenue and couldn’t have been more happy with the outcome! Tiffany was great to work with leading up to our wedding and she did an amazing job emceeing. We were absolutely blown away by how good the band was. They played everything from oldies, to Motown, to top 40. The dance floor was packed with guests of all ages the entire night, and we received so many comments on how great the band was! Even those who preferred not to dance said that they simply enjoyed listening to the band, they are that good! We would highly recommend The Avenue and are so thankful that we chose them for our wedding!

Kept Everyone Dancing!

DJ Eric Smith did a fantastic job of honoring our biggest request – to keep everyone dancing! Our guests had a great time and gave us many compliments about the music. Thank you DJ Eric!

Outstanding!

We hired The Avenue for our wedding and they were outstanding! They certainly made our wedding reception and kept all 300 guests on the dance floor all night long! The Avenue and Cleveland Music Group were super easy to work with during the planing phases as well. Thanks for everything!

Knocked it out of the park!

The Sly Band was fantastic!!!

The extremely talented musicians brought a ton of energy and kept the dance floor full all night. We could not have asked for a better band at our wedding!

Cleveland Vault/Rock Hall of Fame Gig

Tony Howard was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive, knowledgeable, and his selections were spot on. I gave him very little time to work and he came through in more ways than one.

My corporate client was shocked by the quality and professionalism of the two artists we hired very last minute. Laura Varcho and her guys were the perfect musical accompaniment for our speakeasy themed event and went out of their way to match the theme and genre requests.

Nate Jones braved the early May Cleveland cold to welcome our guests to the Rock N Hall of Fame. He arrived early and played beyond his contracted time because of shifting timelines. Great mix of classic and modern hits. I even caught him playing songs from OH heroes The Black Keys! Perfect combination of local flavor for such hallowed grounds.

DJ Bill Bowen did a wonderful job at our prom. Students were on the dance floor the entire night!

DJ Brent was awesome. We hired CLE Music Group to provide entertainment for our annual State of the Company meeting. Normally we don’t have entertainment, but we were also celebrating a big win for 2016 at our store and threw a party! DJ Brent was on time, had his equipment set on time and was ready to go at 8 am! We got through all of the formalities of our company meeting and then it was time to party. DJ Brent got our employees out of their seats to have an impromptu dance party/contest. What a great morning and great event. CLE Music Group never disappoints! Thank you for making our celebration a great one!

Eric is awesome!

DJ Eric Smith totally got the vibe we were going for at our wedding. So glad we picked him.

Also, we ADORED the open air photo booth and so did our guests. I love that we not only got a physical copy of each photo, but we also got a digital copy of each one on a thumb drive. A must have for any wedding.

Nothing short of amazing!

From the beginning when we first started working with Scott, we have been nothing but impressed with Cleveland Music Group. The communication was wonderful when we were planning the timeline of our wedding. Erin from The Element was terrific to work with. She was easy to communicate with, upbeat and instantly I felt at ease with our music selection. Leading up to our wedding we talked with Erin many times and she was willing to work with us and our selections. During our wedding she was great, watching the flow of the evening. The band was outstanding! We had many compliments and our guests loved the sound and selection the band played. Thank you for making our wedding truly special!

The absolute best band that will keep your guests talking!

We’ve hired The Orchestra for the past seven years to be a part of our annual fundraising gala. They are, without a doubt, the absolute best!! Each year, countless guests comment on just how amazing the band is. Not only are they amazing to work with in the planning of the event, they executive brilliantly and make our event what it is. If the band weren’t available on our desired event date – we’d change the date!!

Great Job at Jump Back Ball

DJ Eric Smith was great to work with. He had quite a busy night, DJing in multiple spaces, one right after the other. But he made it work. Eric was prompt. He set up quickly and easily. And he played just the right kind of music. He also worked well with the other entertainers at Jump Back Ball. I’d be happy to use him again.

Outstanding DJ!

Our annual holiday party was a huge success! DJ London Bridges nailed it. He played a variety of genres and also managed to play all requests! He was by far the best DJ we’ve ever had! We will definitely request his services in the future. Thank you!

DJ Kyro did an outstanding job adhering to my music playlist as well as obtaining the ethnic music we requested for my children’s baptisms. He read our guests comfort level well and played the music that was appropriate for the afternoon! I am beyond pleased with his effort and performance and would definitely use him/recommend him for any future events that I coordinate personally or for the community events that I have involvement with.

Rocked the house… all night!!!

Guests thought the wedding was awesome. DJ DC is a great entertainer who knows how to bring the energy while still making the focus of the event all about the bride and groom. Everyone I talked to had great things to say about him. They also loved the music. I really could not have been happier. Grateful for Dan and his passion to make it an awesome event for everyone.

We hired DJ London Bridges for our client’s fundraiser this past weekend. He was very fun to work with. Gave a very awesome vibe in the venue. We have received nothing but great reviews of everything. Thanks Brandon!

Very professional, personal and fun!

We had a great time planning and organizing our wedding with DJ Chris . He was personal from the get-go and we also were very thankful for how professional he was with detailed outlines of our reception layout. We thoroughly enjoyed having Chris as our DJ!

Beautiful Harp Music for our Wedding

Ginny was great! Very accommodating and professional. She played the harp for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Her music was beautiful, with a wide range of genres represented. We are so appreciative of her talents and contribution to our wedding day!

Having Tricky Dick play at our wedding was the best decision we made! They created such a fun atmosphere, the dance floor was never empty, and they took the time to hear what my husband and I wanted out of the day. We have no complaints and I would recommend them to anyone!

Beyond Thrilled!

To say that we were thrilled with Tricky Dick , would be an understatement. They were complete professionals from the moment we inquired, through the planning, and during the reception. Tony took the time to even meet with the Bride and Groom during the weeks prior to their wedding so he could get to know them as a couple. We have ridiculously large families, and had a very large reception. Somehow the band managed to keep everyone happy from the ages of 4 to 94. They even provided little light up rings and necklaces as well as blow up guitars for the children. The dance floor was never empty, which was phenomenal. I really believe that receptions need only three elements to be a success- food, beverages, and great music. The fact that so many of our guests told us that they had more fun at this wedding than others they’ve have attended is directly attributed to this great band – Tricky Dick! Thank you for everything!

The best wedding ever, our dance floor was never empty!

The Orchestra was absolutely INCREDIBLE at our wedding! The dance floor was never empty and our wedding planner and guests kept telling us that they had never been to a more fun wedding or seen a dance floor so packed ALL NIGHT. The music selection was perfect and so fun. We wish we could relive the night again!!

THANK YOU TO THE ORCHESTRA FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING SUCH AN INCREDIBLE PARTY!!!!

Perfect Night!

Everyone loved the music and raved about DJ DC . He kept people on the dance floor and was so organized. Thank you so much for helping to make our night perfect!

Once again, The Orchestra delivered. They played at our daughter’s wedding two years ago and were fantastic. So, we hired them again for Daughter #2, and we were blown away by them! I am still getting compliments on the music and the fun our guests had on the dance floor. They are an amazing group of musicians and vocalists, and are simply The Best in the Cleveland area–hands down. What a night! Thanks to CLE Music Group and Dwayne and The Orchestra for making our daughter’s wedding night absolutely a night to remember.

D.J. Eric Smith was ON POINT when it came to our Wedding Reception Music and Introductions. He was fantastic and kept the dance floor rockin’! He was extremely professional and was everything we hoped for and more. Thank you Cleveland Music Group and Eric for making the night one we will never forget. Music is so important to us and we are SO thankful we picked Eric as our D.J.! What a great guy to have on your Team there at the Cleveland Music Group! Thank you again for the memories.

Perfect Night

I truly can’t speak more highly about The Element band . We chose to use the brass (trumpet and saxophone players) and the band really nailed the night. Our dance floor was packed from start to finish; our guests were totally into the music. Erin (the lead singer) has a lovely voice! She was so great to work with; from the planning stages on. She worked with us to create a unique playlist for our wedding that we wanted. They even learned a few songs for us! (Just FYI; if you want the dance floor rocking, go for the YMCA!)

The Element band did an awesome job. We could not be happier about the performance and the energy of the night. Exactly what we were looking for!

We used DJ Scott Jones for my daughters wedding. It was amazing. He got the crowd involved and played exactly what kept people on the dance floor. I would use him again and again if I had an event

The band was amazing. Everyone was on the dance floor all evening. They were very prompt in setting up. Volume was good, guests were able to carry on a conversation. Tiffany was a great MC. The song selections were right on! Thank you to The Avenue . We would most certainly recommend them for any occasion!

Dance floor never was empty!

Best wedding band ever! Guests never stopped dancing!

Very Impressed

We used Cleveland Music Group to provide our DJ, ceremony guitarist , and uplighting for the reception area. I have to say, I have been truly impressed with all aspects of this organization from the first contact through to the last minute of our reception. My contact was extremely helpful with guiding me in choosing a DJ and guitarist, and even the website was a great tool to watch videos of the options. They also worked within our limited budget to provide the lighting which really made the ambiance of the entire venue so breathtaking.

In addition, DJ DC went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time and that Dennis and I got everything we wanted out of our special night. Multiple guests came up to me and told me how awesome the music was! Thank you for everything!

Everything we expected

Scott Jones was professional, helpful and overall excellent to work with throughout the process leading up to and including our wedding reception. He was willing to do anything asked of him and prompted our group at appropriate times when certain portions of the night were coming up so we would be prepared. We let him choose a large portion of the music selections and he didn’t disappoint. He knew how to read the crowd and I would hire him for another event if the opportunity presented itself.

Evelyn Wright brings style and class to any event.

Evelyn and her jazz band provided a wonderful atmosphere to our company event. With style and class she entertained everyone and was such a delight to have to work with. Everyone in attendance loved the music and her singing was outstanding.

We had such an amazing experience with CLE Music Group. Right off the bat Scott Jones was genuinely interested in helping us find exactly what we were looking for!! He helped us choose the perfect DJ, Chris Wallace . Chris was down to earth, fun and very patient with us!! From the meetings we had all the way through to our wedding day I had so much confidence and trust in Chris that he had our night under control. He ensured our grand entrance songs were exactly as requested and that my surprise father daughter dance went off without a hitch! We will definitely recommend CLE Music Group to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

Great Experience

We used Cleveland Music Group for our wedding, and we could not be more impressed and happy with our choice. They were so fun and easy to work with through the entire process. I was greatly impressed by the quick responses we got also. DJ Eli was awesome. He is a great MC and he kept the dance floor filled the entire night. Thank you so much CMG!

Cleveland Music Group helped make our day a HUGE success!

Scott Jones and the team at Cleveland Music Group helped in the planning of our wedding day via a DJ for the evening, audio for our ceremony, and a pianist for the cocktail hour .

Scott helped make it a very easy and smooth process, and guided us through every step in our planning.

Our DJs ( Big Dave & Wild Wes ) were incredible. They had energy, they helped walk us through all of the evenings events, and they were a huge hit with our guests. They knew how to keep the party going, and helped make sure everyone was having a good time.

I would highly recommend anyone to consider the Cleveland Music Group for your event!!

Wonderful, as always!

Our guests loved the band, and they were great to work with! As always, Kim from CMG found us the perfect group for our event. She helped us in the 11th hour looking for a replacement band at the last minute and did so with great success. Both Kim and the band were also accommodating of date/time changes, and we couldn’t be more thankful! The band called ahead to talk over music choices, asking the best way to load, how early we wanted them to arrive, etc. and were very easy going. Highly recommend Cleveland Music Group for any of your entertainment needs!

Absolutely fantastic service

Our DJ ( DJ Bill Bowen ) did a phenomenal job with the music for our wedding! People would not stop dancing and I got a ton of compliments on how fun the music selection was! DJ Bill was on time, responsive and clear- everything ran so smoothly. He even confirmed if we wanted to do a dollar dance and on the spot we changed our mind, and it was no problem the evening still flowed perfectly! One of our guests suggested a polka and once he saw how many people got up to dance to that (guests I NEVER thought would get on the dance floor), he ended up playing another one later. What a huge hit! I could not recommend CLE Music Group enough. Our entire experience with them was professional and perfect. We could not have had a better night!

Awesome job!

Mike and I used DJ Chris Wallace . Chris was on time and on point the entire ceremony, even with last minute changes our wedding day never skipped a beat. Chris listened to our music taste and everyone had a great time.

Everyone thought DJ Chris Wallace was great. There were a couple hiccups at the reception and Chris managed our time and announcements very well and no one even noticed anything had changed. The Photo Booth was a great success. All the guests loved it! People were in it all night long!

Kept Everyone Dancing

We had the pleasure of having DJ Brian McDonald at our wedding reception! He was fantastic! Everyone had a blast and the dance floor was packed all night!

Wonderful company and so accommodating!

Our guests loved this string trio . They played all of our songs beautifully. They were very accommodating and made sure we got to hear all of our special songs.

5 Star Entertainment

Duane Dickson added the Wow factor to our wedding. He is an excellent piper and all the guests were entertained.

TCB exceeded our already high expectations. Many of the guests commented on how great they sounded and that they were the best band they have heard at a wedding. TCB packed the dance floor and kept all guests entertained from the oldest to the youngest. They are truly 5 star entertainment and made our wedding amazing.

A great combo for a fabulous evening

We used John Toula for our ceremony and cocktail hour — he was so lovely to work with, nice, respectful and followed exactly what we asked for song-wise!

For our reception The Sunrise Jones was awesome — we got people up on the dance floor immediately after dinner and it was packed for 3+ hours. Everyone loved them!

TSJ is simply oustanding

The Sunrise Jones were the best part of our wedding reception. Each band member was personable and extremely helpful in organizing our wedding. They were approachable and friendly to all my family members and guests, and were all around class act gentlemen. My guests loved TSJ. I had received so many compliments about their quality, talent, and personalities. They were the highlight of the reception and everyone had a great time.

We had Eric Smith, the Bearded DJ . DJ our wedding reception and he was phenomenal. Every guest was up and dancing the whole night and had a great time. There was never a moment throughout the entire night that people we were not up and having a great time! The music Eric played was spot on and we couldn’t have asked for a better time!

Phenomenal Job!

Cleveland Music Group did a phenomenal job at our fundraising event! They provided photo booth services for us and everyone enjoyed it. Casey did a great job from beginning to end by engaging guests to utilize the photo booth.

Sonata Strings did an amazing job at our son’s wedding. The guests said it was the best sound and music they have heard at a wedding. Thanks to Scott for organizing everything. Cleveland Music Group is the best Cleveland can offer for music. We have used them several times.

These guys were amaaaaaaazing.

The Players Club defied all of our expectations and made sure our wedding was perfect. They worked with us on our set list, helped create the vibe we wanted, and listened to every request we had leading up to the wedding. They even worked with one of our singers to perform the processional with her. I was amazing by their professionalism and kindness. We would do this entire thing over again it’s to hire The Players Club. If you’re looking for a band that knows Top 40 you have all the same reservations we did: can they pull it off, will my guests dance, are they dressy enough for my event…. the answer to all of these questions is a resounding YES. Hire them and then pat yourself on the back for doing the right thing.

Strings & DJ

We used Sonata Strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The string trio was perfect. They were professional, sounded great and were even able to put together a special request song for me (the bride) to walk down the aisle to. It was a great way to add an elegant touch to the start of our wedding day and the guests were impressed! DJ Chris Wallace came in after cocktail hour and was another hit. He again accommodated our requests for a certain genre of music during dinner and moved smoothly through the unique, traditional Polish touches we had requested during the reception. He kept the party going right up until the end while playing a great blend of genres. Using Cleveland Music Group was a great decision and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking!

Great DJ Match, So Much FUN

When planning the wedding, we wanted a DJ who would play great tunes, read the crowd well, not take over the night, and incorporate our mix of cultures (my husband is from Botswana, Southern Africa). We were not opinionated on which DJ, so we selected the Best Choice DJ package and CLE Music Group matched us up with Judi . Judi was AMAZING. A joy to work with, enthusiastic about mixing music from all over the world, totally got our vibe, had great suggestions when we chatted before the event, and she just so kind and passionate about her job! We were over the moon pleased. She got our guests out onto the dance floor and kept the party going until the last minute. Thank you Judi!

We hired CMG to provide DJ services for our wedding ceremony and reception. DJ Scott Jones was prepared and attentive throughout the entire process and made our day perfect! Thank you for everything!

AMAZING!!!!

The Element Band was AMAZING for our wedding. I am so happy that we hired them! Erin (one of the lead singers) was always quick to respond to emails/phone calls when we had questions. They were well prepared for our wedding and a joy to work with. They kept all our guests moving on the dance floor until the very last song of the evening! Multiple guests came up to me to say they wanted to have The Element for their wedding. Thank you again The Element for making our wedding such a wonderful party!

Fabulous-had everyone dancing

The Avenue played from Frank Sinatra to the most up to date – with everything in between – the whole room was dancing during the Hora and during most of their music—fabulous!!

Simple Perfection

Cleveland Music Group’s Sonata Strings Duo was simple perfection for our ceremony. They provided the calm, classy backdrop to our big day! The booking process was very quick and easy and the team was very accommodating and very nice!

Outstanding, experienced and fun DJs

DJ Mike was absolutely awesome! He had a thorough strategy and his experience showed. He built up the energy, made it exciting and got everyone involved. The dance floor was packed throughout the entire reception. We’d been to other weddings where people were hesitant to participant, but Mike helped everyone feel comfortable out there. We would highly recommend him or this group to anyone looking for a very experienced and fun DJ. We couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you!

The Element was 100% amazing in every way. The band absolutely killed it at our wedding. They sounded great, the vocals were SO GOOD, and they kept the energy level high the whole time. People danced until they turned the lights on! Leading up to the event, Erin was awesome to work with. She is accommodating and well-organized and also so friendly and easy-going. We felt like she really listened to our requests and it showed at the wedding as we felt like every detail was thought of. She made great recommendations too and we felt very confident going into the event that it was going to be perfect…and it was!

Danced All Night Long

I would like to thank Tiffany and The Avenue who played at our wedding this past weekend. The band was professional to work with and sounded great! The dance floor was packed all night long!

Amazing services

I cannot thank Scott and everyone involved in our special day enough. Everyone was so easy to work with and answered questions in a very timely matter. Everybody loved the photobooth ! The uplighting added that extra special touch to the ballroom and gallery that just topped our whole vision off. Adding the harpist for our ceremony and cocktail hour brought it to a whole different level of class! DJ Eli was AMAZING!!! He kept us up to date on our timeline, kept the music going along with everyone on the dance floor and was just incredible to work with. I would recommend any of these services to any newly engaged couple with no hesitation! Thank you CLE Music Group for making our day unforgettable!

Amazing guys

It’s not often that people take the time to write a review for a service someone has provided. And sometimes when you do, it’s more like an obligation. Well, for us it’s a pleasure to say that DJ Arthur and DJ Brent were amazing. Not just the day of our wedding; they bear with us sending them tons of mails with playlists, with our changing everything multiple times. They understood exactly how we wanted things, I have no idea how, because maybe not even we knew. Thanks to the both of you from the bottom of our hearts!

A Wonderful Night

Thank you to the Cleveland Music Group for providing our family with beautiful wedding ceremony music by Anthony Fuoco , uplighting to create that special feeling when walking into the room, and an amazing band for our son and daughter-in-law’s reception.

The Avenue was the perfect band for our event. Their energy kept the dance floor full all night long. Their music crossed generations and created a fun and celebratory atmosphere. In fact, many guests are still complimenting us on our choice of bands. Overall, you helped us to create a wonderful night!

Beautiful addition to the service

The Sonata Strings Quartet added a lovely dimension to my daughter’s wedding. I was able to select musical pieces from a list.

Communication with CLE group was excellent. I tried to communicate with the quartet regarding selection of contemporary pieces but did not hear back from the spokesperson of the quartet until very close to the event. The traditional/classical pieces played were beautiful.

kept the dance floor full of people!

I have seen RadioActive perform several times prior to this event, and I have to say this was BY FAR the best time yet! The singers were perfect, engaging, and interactive and the songs were appropriate. Many of the party goers have asked specifically for their contact info, as they may want to book them in the future.

Michael and the entire TCB band were incredible. They were extremely easy to work with and made our reception a blast. We had seen them at a friends wedding a couple of years ago in Cleveland and hired them as soon as we got engaged and were not disappointed. We would highly recommend using TCB and the Cleveland Music group for your wedding or event!

Added so much to our event!

The steel drum music was phenomenal! His touch was brilliant and the room resonated with the sound of energy, fun and adventure! We will use him again.

DJ LONDON BRIDGES IS THE BEST!!

Well, the headline says it all. Hiring Brandon ( DJ London Bridges ) was one of the best decisions we made. He is not only an incredible DJ who knows how to work a party and pack a dance floor, but he is also an amazing MC who handled his duties with humor, charm and style. Everyone was so impressed. We asked him to “bring the heat” and he delivered!

I won’t give away any of his secrets but I think it is important for brides and grooms to know that Brandon goes above and beyond to create very special, very memorable moments for you. Things that you will remember forever. It’s all in the details and he’s a pro.

Thank you, B! We are so happy that you were part of our day.

Kate + Jack

The best decision you can make, other than getting married.

We booked The Avenue from CLE Music Group for our wedding. Other than getting married, this was perhaps the best decision we made. Everyone from the owner, Scott and all the staff is top notch and very responsive. This was not the case when I looked into other choices for other bands. We felt honored to have what we think is the best and most polished band in Cleveland for our wedding. The play a great set list and know how to keep the floor packed. Their sound engineering is so dialed in, you feel like you’re at house of blues. This doesn’t even begin to mention the talent of the singers and instrumentalists; they are all amazing and true professionals.

I almost majored in music, so music is very important to me and I’m very discerning and picky. I looked at all the options and it was down to the Avenue and another similarly sized band that was slightly less expensive. That other group sounded good at their showcase, but when I researched and spoke to a few of them, I realized they are not really a group. It’s merely an agent of sorts that books these independent musicians for shows. Music is about rapport and anticipation, it frightened me to think our wedding band could have been thrown together with musicians that played together a handful of times or maybe never. With the Avenue (and the entire CLE group) you know what you are getting and can rest easy.

Additionally, as I researched, I found out that there were all sort of upgrades that made the less expensive group slightly more expensive. For example, if you want good sound quality, you need to upgrade your sound package to better speakers. To me this added a lot of additional stress and things to keep track of that add to the list of things you worry about when planning your wedding. Do your research and you only have one option, the Avenue. There are so many things you need to do for your wedding, this was one thing where we were able to fully remove this stress from the planning knowing the band would deliver and did they. We had the unfortunate event of a guest having a stroke at the reception (they are ok). But the Avenue was so professional and when they came on were able to turn the mood around and ensure everyone had fun for the rest of the evening. Everyone was raving about how fantastic the band was and they’ve never heard anything like it at a wedding. Thank you so much guys, you made our reception!

Best wedding band EVER!

I had the pleasure of having The Element perform at our wedding reception. I cannot put into words how talented they all are and how easy it was to work with Erin. They made it very special by surprising me with learning a couple of songs that were especially meaningful to me! I also received a number of compliments from our guests that night on how great they were and even days afterwards. They had everyone on the dance floor until the end of the night! I would without a doubt recommend them to anyone for their wedding, or any other event for that matter. They were truly wonderful.

Couldn’t be happier!

We had an absolute blast and we’re so grateful to DJ Bill Bowen and Cleveland Music Group. He read the room perfectly and played a great setlist – the dance floor was packed the entire time! He made it all about us and was happy to help with whatever we wanted. Thank you thank you thank you!

Fantastic Performers!

We received numerous compliments from our guests as to how great the jazz quintet was for our cocktail hour. They really set the tone for the evening and got the guests into the event. The group consulted with us on our tastes and preferences and pulled together a truly unique group and set list that met all of our hopes!

The Sunrise Jones really lit up the room!

The Sunrise Jones did an amazing job playing for our wedding in August. We have gotten tons of feedback from our guests at how much they loved the band.

They were easy to work with before hand, professional and kept the dance floor rocking all night on our big day. We couldn’t be more happy with TSJ MC’ing and providing the music for our wedding!!

phenomenal music

Our string trio left us speechless . I even had my choir director comment on how professional and talented they were. I was worried at first, but Tanis and crew made lovely music.

I definitely recommend Mike Gazdak as DJ . We gave him a small amount of information and music selection to work from and he made sure that our dance floor was never empty. A great time was had by all!

Cocktail Hour

Although my new husband and I weren’t at the cocktail hour at our wedding reception, we have heard several positive comments about Jonathan Hooper’s music . It was a great additional to our very romantic, elegant wedding and we are very thankful for him and for Cleveland Music Group!

Non stop energy

Fabulous musical selections. Everyone was on the dance floor – the dance floor filled all evening!

Great fun with karaoke

Our DJ London Bridges was terrific! He was lots of fun and encouraged everyone to karaoke. Many of the guests participated — some several times — and the rest watched and sang along! Lots of laughing, clapping and dancing too. The party was still going on after the “last call!”

Sunrise Jones Absolutley Amazing Band

First I would like to say what a joy it was to work with Cleveland Music Group. From the first phone call to the last it was a wonderful process. I worked with Tony Howard and he helped me choose the band based on my budget. He would always call me back or have a staff member call me back whenever I had a question. The payment process was easy and the contracts were easy to read and detailed. There was nothing hidden.

Now to the band. I cannot tell you enough about Sunrise Jones . My daughter communicated with the band more than I did on song selection and reception details that day. She always had positive things to say about the e-mail conversations over the year. At the wedding reception I must have had 100 guests say to me the band was amazing. The dance floor was packed all night. No one wanted the wedding to end at midnight. Our sales contact at Bon Appetit (the caterer at the venue) called me a couple days later and asked where I got the band. She said she hears a lot of bands and Sunrise Jones was going on her list of bands to recommend. She said not only was the music excellent but they were very professional and nice. I know it will be a wedding to remember because of this band! Thank You Sunrise Jones!

SO MUCH FUN!!!

The Sunrise Jones was a fabulous group to work with. They communicated with us prior to the reception to get a feel for what we wanted. We had some last minutes requests (microphones for the ceremony) and they were so accommodating sharing their equipment. The band welcomed the bride as a guest singer…really got the party started! We were so sad when the evening ended. People didn’t want to leave the dance floor and chanted, “one more song” until they did. Thanks guys, we couldn’t have asked for a better band.

Best Experience Ever

We could not recommend CMG and We Are the Radio with more enthusiasm. We had originally booked with another entertainment company, but after we pointed out to them that they had double booked us, we were back to the drawing board to find a band for our wedding. Within 24 hours of us catching the mistake, we were all set with CMG. They took our needs and wants under close consideration and we were fatefully matched with WATR. We could not have had a better night – from our first dance, which WATR specially arranged just for us, to the party they kept going all night, it was the best night of our lives in huge part to them. All the songs we requested were played, and people came up to us all night with rave reviews. There were more people left on the dance floor at the end of the night than I’ve ever seen at the end of any wedding. Our goal was to throw the most fun dance party every thrown, and the goal was not only achieved, but exceeded. We could not thank you enough!

Awesome Wedding Band!!!

The AVENUE led by Tiffany performed at our Wedding in Rocky River on 8/13/16. They were a huge hit!!! Tiffany and crew rocked the party all the way till midnight. They were able to keep the group of 230 entertained, which was impressive given the age range of 18-85. Guests are still asking who the band was and how great they were…the venue even commented on how great the band and dance floor flowed all night.

Song list: they can play everything from Frank Sinatra, classic Motown and even keep it current with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, etc…

The band is very professional and managed the evening masterfully! Thank you so much for a memorable evening.

Only room for improvement would be learning a few extra songs not on their list by request.

We will send pictures once we have some. I am sure there will be some amazing pictures.

We absolutely loved Bill Bowen as a DJ for our wedding on Saturday. He was very flexible and willing to come up with a great night of music and dancing for all attending our wedding. We would recommend him to anything looking for a great DJ. Thank you, Bill!!!

Doesn’t Get Any Better Than The Element

My fiance and I knew we wanted a band and not a DJ for our wedding. From the moment we heard The Element perform at a friend’s wedding we knew there would be no better band that was as engaging, animated and musically talented as The Element. Erin Rossi was beyond helpful with planning our song selections. She made me and my fiance feel so relaxed and comfortable. I knew the band would be wonderful and that I wouldn’t have to worry about them.

I was right. The day of the wedding they were extremely professional and accommodating to add in our flower girls and ring bearer into the bridal party announcements. Erin had been in constant communication with me for the days leading up to the wedding to make sure she had the correct pronunciation of each bridal party member. She did a beautiful job as the MC and kept our guests dancing all night. We are so very happy with our choice and hope that you consider The Element when you’re exploring bands!!!

DJ Eric was wonderful to work with. He sent us a detailed survey to fill out ahead of our wedding to make sure he had all the information he needed about our music preferences throughout the wedding, and all the details he needed to MC the reception. He also took the time to meet with us to make sure we were all on the same page and to double check last-minute details. Eric played music that WE loved throughout the cocktail hour and dinner, and played a great mix of music that EVERYONE loved during the party. Because we had a Sunday night wedding, we were a little worried that the party would break up early, but Eric made sure the dance floor was going til the very end!

Best Band Ever!

The Orchestra really knows how to put on a show! They started fast and kept the energy all night! The set list kept our guests on the dance floor nonstop, and at the end of the night some of our guests were chanting for an encore! Thank you to Sam and Dwayne for getting the party started with a great acoustic set during cocktail hour, and thank you to the entire Orchestra for making our wedding such a memorable celebration!

Talent was easy to communicate with prior to event. He was on time, flexible and went above and beyond. Everyone loved him. Erin Rossi internally at CLE Music Group was also OUTSTANDING. Erin is friendly, detail oriented, responded quickly and very helpful. She is an all-star.

Rocking good time

The youth said the party and DJ Brent were awesome. Very hip, appropriate and cool. Your company is very organized. We felt secure with our contract and service the whole way through. We will use you again and again.

Valley View’s Headliner of Year

The Geez Cats Played for our residents in a beautiful pavilion in our Valley View Woods Park and even though we had the threat of rain they made everyone’s night with their fantastic tributes to the oldies but goodies. We were so blown away by how they sounded so much like the original artist them shelves. We can’t wait to have them back again next year!

wedding on 8/12/16

The music was great, The Orchestra  performed for 4 hours with 3 breaks. The breaks were each about 10 minutes. They played all kinds of different music. They went out into the dance floor to perform and they actually seemed to be enjoying themselves.

We were very impressed by the performance of The Avenue at our son’s wedding last weekend. They played every song we wanted and played them all very well. They are truly a great band and great performers. All of our guests were still talking about the band the next day. Everyone loved the band. Tiffany was amazing. She really put on a good show. I cannot thank her enough. If you want a great party band, hire The Avenue. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic!!

The band was absolutely phenomenal. The dance floor was packed all evening. We had so many comments from our guests saying just how great they were, and some specifically saying The Sensations were the best live band they have ever seen at a wedding . We knew they were going to be good, having seen them perform before we booked them, but they were way better than good! Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so special. Could not be more highly recommended.

Beautiful music. Sonata Strings provided a wonderful backdrop to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour.

Professional and Perfect

The Sonata Strings were the perfect addition to our church music. They really set the tone for an elegant wedding. They knew all of the music that we requested and made great suggestions. The trio was extremely professional and worked well with the church cantors and pianist/organist. We were very impressed and our guests raved about the music part of the ceremony. I strongly suggest adding the Sonata Strings to your wedding event. They were truly a phenomenal addition!

Hit of the party!

Dennis did a great job on accordion ! He worked with me to time things perfectly, and his performance was exactly what we were looking for! He did several songs in Italian, which made the old timers at the party so happy! Everyone loved having him there.

Shady Drive was an awesome band!

Our guests had such a fun time enjoying live tunes from Shady Drive on our patio. It was a blast and everyone was on the dance floor! Thank you to CLE Music Group for setting everything up and making it so easy!

This is the 5th family wedding that we have used The Orchestra . They do a great job & are very professional. To quote an older quest at recent wedding, “this is the best wedding band I have ever heard.” Everyone dances when they play!

Excellent pianist.

Our pianist Jonathan Hooper was very professional and easy to work with. Beautiful music!

I’ve been in the event catering/Banquet/wedding business for over 25 years. By its very nature, planning a wedding/large event can become daunting at times, knowing where to start, and trusting your vendors will get the job done etc. can prove overwhelming. Simply put: The folks over at Cleveland Music Group have something special. Their enthusiastic professionalism, and general willingness to exceed expectations has become a rare commodity in what some refer to as a “burn and turn” industry. Our paths inadvertently crossed this year, and I was blown away by not only their eagerness to please, but their passion for the industry. Tony and Thor were amazing to work with!

DJ Smoov – A Master of His Craft

DJ Smoov was hands down one of the best additions to our wedding day! When we first set out in search for a DJ, we wanted someone who would let the music do the work – DJ Smoov delivered on that promise, and then some! He was concise on the mic and masterful on the table. We never in a million years would have expected guests of all age ranges to come up to us during our wedding and comment on how great our DJ was, but that is exactly what happened. He listened to the style of music we wanted to play, then used his expertise to set the tone for the night.

For an unbiased perspective, our wedding videographer is from Dayton and travels all around the world doing weddings, he made a point to come up to us during the wedding and tell us how hard DJ Smoov was working up there mixing live – And how he had never seen a wedding DJ mix the way Smoov was non-stop all night long. He loved him! That’s saying something! Oh – And he made a SWEET video after the wedding and posted it on social media. Just another reason why Smoov is the best! Thanks again for everything you did to make our night amazing!

Amazing Band!

These guys don’t need any additional positive reviews, as I’m pretty sure they are already booked every weekend through 2019. Yes, they are that freaking good. However, I feel compelled to tell our experience with Tricky Dick & The Cover Ups . Not only do these guys completely rock it out on the stage, but they are as classy and professional as they are rockers. From the very first communication with these guys, I was nothing short of impressed with the responsiveness and guidance they provided me and my wife throughout the wedding planning process. I mean, these guys have a range that is completely unheard of. Not every day do you get to see a band that can play Boogie Shoes all the way to Shut Up and Dance. I had people high-fiving me at my wedding saying they have never had so much fun dancing and singing along at a reception. To take it a step further, Tony Howard is an absolute phenomenal MC and basically ran our entire wedding post ceremony. Oh and by the way, we were married in a vineyard and had no idea how to get sound for our officiant. At the last minute Tony figured it out for us and the ceremony went on without a hitch. Overall, these guys are just awesome and the music was fantastic. If you want your wedding to be remembered forever, you should probably hire these guys. Thank you guys again for making our wedding day so special.

Exceptional Entertainment

DJ Gaz made us feel so at ease in planning our wedding reception. He was easy to work with and we would hire him again in a heart beat. Our guests had the best time ever and loved his music choices. We couldn’t be happier!

Great DJ service

Great service. I appreciate the time DJ Mike Alexander spent preparing for our event. Guests were very happy with the music!

A Great DJ Duo!

From the moment we met with Dave and Wes before the wedding, we knew they were going to be the perfect DJs for our wedding! They were so easy to work with, kept people on the dance floor, added humor to the day, and the lighting they used made the room so beautiful! Our guests had only great things to say!

The Orchestra made our night perfect!

The Orchestra played for our daughter’s wedding this past weekend. We have never had so much fun at any other wedding! This elite group of musicians kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night! It was magical! Friends and family have been calling me over the last two days telling me that they have never heard a better band! The Orchestra is beyond exceptional and a class act! Thank you so much for a most wonderful evening!

Fantastic wedding DJ

We had fantastic service for our wedding! Our DJ (Dan Cormier) was wonderful. Service was personalized and accommodating. We couldn’t be happier for choosing DJ DC !!

Awesome guy!

I highly recommend D.J. Billy King , what a nice guy to deal with and he made our wedding reception an awesome party!

The Element was AMAZING and made our wedding!!

The Element was AMAZING!! They MADE our wedding and had everyone, from young to old, up and dancing. Not only did they perform beautifully for our ceremony and cocktail hour but they also rocked it out at the reception! Everyone, including us, were raving about their songs, singing, and the upbeat vibe they kept going all night. Their musical talents and singing abilities are on point and SO impressive. If you’re looking to make your wedding night or event truly special, then this is the band to get! Thanks again!!

Made our 4th of July Family Reunion and Graduation Party a total BLAST!

We have the highest praise for our DJ “Judi,” she really made the day so very special and fun for all who attended. Thank you for getting Judi for our event and we will have her again, as she is a Rock Star!

Wonderful God given talent!

We are so grateful for your wonderful God given talent, The Element  is just great, the song was beautiful. I felt like a shortstop at an action packed game because I was fielding so many questions about you and the band. Our neighbors want to hire you for the street party, my friends asked me to get you booked for a party. I just want you to know we thank you and appreciate you and although since I only had three daughters there better be no more weddings for them. I wish you all the best, if it was the 70s I would take you touring. At another wedding or event we will hope to meet up again with you.

Rave Reviews for DJ Eli

I received many unsolicited comments from numerous guests on how great of a job DJ Eli did at our wedding. People went out of their way to compliment both his MC and DJ performance. Jen and I also thought he did a great job and everyone including us had a great time because of it. He was great to work with and clearly went above and beyond for us. I would not only recommend the Cleveland Music Group to people but would particularly recommend Eli for anyone looking for a DJ.

Had a great time!

DJ Brent was awesome to work with, very friendly and knew just what kind of music we liked with the small amount of information we provided to him. The dance floor was full all night and everyone has been talking about how much fun our wedding was and I think that is all due to Brent doing his job well. Thank you for the great reception!!

The Orchestra for our Wedding

Everyone was very happy with the music and entertainment provided. The band was great and guests were up and dancing the entire night.

DJ Brent Rocked It!

DJ Brent was awesome for our wedding! Very fun to work with. Had a very large selection of music and had a lot of great ideas for song selections. Thank you so much!

Steel Drums are a Must Have for your Event!

I was in charge of booking seven performance/entertainment acts for a corporate event that would be hosting a thousand people. Every act was wonderful, but the steel drums were so unique and different they had every guest stopping and watching them perform. Several guests asked for business cards for Wilber and Erynn after the event and we gladly shared that information. Not only were they talented, but they were the most genuinely sweet and sincere people that I have met in a very long time. They were so easy going and wonderful to work with, I’m trying to find an excuse to have a party so I can have them perform.

We absolutely loved having The Orchestra at our wedding! From start to finish they were nothing but a class act! Our dance floor was packed the entire time and everyone can not stop talking about how amazing the band was! We highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding band to book The Orchestra! We are couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Best Music and Wonderful Lighting

DJ Brian McDonald is awesome. The guests raved about the music. They liked the continuous playing of music, no gaps at all. The coral uplighting that Scott chose for us was on point. It completed the look we were striving for. I would have never thought the lighting would make this much of a difference. I have never seen so many guests dance all night.

Phenomenal service with a smile!

We had the pleasure of working with Judi Chevrolet for Best Choice DJ services at our recent wedding. We both found working with Judy incredibly easy. Judi worked with us on our timeframe, kept things very laid back, accommodated our last minute requests, greeted guests warmly, engaged the group and met all of our expectations. I would highly recommend her services.

DJ Brent was the best DJ of all time! He gave us the party of a lifetime.

Our reception party is still being talked about as “THE best party of the year,” all in credit to the talent of DJ Brent from Cleveland Music Group. From day one the professionalism DJ Brent took with helping bring life to our vision to his expertise in choosing the perfect array of songs to keep our dance floor packed all night long, he did an amazing job start to finish. We had guests on the dance floor who haven’t danced in YEARS!!! The bars closed down and at the end of the night there were still 100 people plus left on the dance floor calling for encores! We are beyond grateful for DJ Brent and the once in a lifetime reception he provided for us and for the joy he brought to our guests. Seeing a packed dance floor and the smiles on our families and friends faces was the best wedding gift we could have ever received. Many of our guests are already asking for DJ Brent’s contact information to book him for their upcoming events and we never hesitate to forward a positive recommendation on. Thank you DJ Brent for giving us the best party we’ve ever been to!!

Absolutely Stunning

Ginni was our daughter’s wedding ceremony harpist . She was so professional and kind. Her music selections stunned our guests with her playing talents. Everyone was more than impressed and totally made our daughter’s wedding one of class. We will always remember Ginni’s class act!!

Incredibly talented band

The Orchestra killed it at our wedding!

The Orchestra was the best! Our guests were on their feet dancing before dinner was even over! Dwayne was super easy to work with and very responsive in emails and calls during the planning process. His advice was always spot on. The band kept everyone on their feet all night and we received so many compliments and inquiries on who the band was for future events. They interacted with the crowd and really kept everyone going. Could not have asked for anything more!

DJ Brian McDonald was great. He played excellent music throughout the night and went above his duties as a DJ to make us feel comfortable. Would definitely hire again.

Dennis was a huge success with his friendly and professional interaction

Dennis was hailed by all 100 guests at my sister’s 8th birthday party as a nice guy, an excellent accordionist and performer and a consummate professional. Most of our guests had never experienced the ambiance of an Italian accordionist and soloist and were fixed on his performance for his entire engagement. Not only was his performance of the perfect songs for this occasion, but the authentic emotional impact of his entertainment touched our guests with smiles, tears and hearty applause. Dennis is a treasure for all lovers of Italian music at its best. Thanks Dennis!

Wedding Reception – Wooooo

Guests of all ages had a blast.  DJ Scott E. Jones made introductions a lot of fun and did a great job keeping the dance floor packed!

The Best Band Ever

Our guests never sat down when The Orchestra was playing. Everyone said how amazing they all are.

They were both awesome!!!

Everyone was impressed with how good The Orchestra and Dave Sterner Trio  were. We had people from all over the country and people said The Orchestra was the best band they had heard!

DJ Matt Gazdak gets us moving and grooving. He is a crowd pleaser!!

I have had the pleasure of having Matt as our DJ for more that one event, and each time he has surprised me with how much fun we have. He has a great verity of music. Our guest had a wonderful time dancing to his music. We have two events each year and I will request him on the next one also. Thank you Cleveland Music Group and Matt Gazdak!

We definitely made the right choice!

Your band made the night! Thanks!!

Jerry Bruno Productions made sure we had a top quality act for the appropriate moment. Their hands-off set up allowed us to concentrate on our special event. Both acts did a great job. Sonata Strings was very flexible to our music selection and ceremony schedule. Jazz was a big Hit!!

We would be very happy to have Roger Friedman or the Jazz Trio Play for us again. We loved the music and he was most courteous & professional.

Professional, Polished, Courteous & Talented, The Roger Friedman Trio is all that and more. These gentleman are there when you need them to be. They interact with the audience if that is what you need or simply stay in the background; All the whole providing the delightful sounds of high quality traditional jazz.

The Roger Friedman Jazz Trio really made our corporate event a success!

Thank you so much for providing such good entertainment at our wedding reception. Your sound was exactly what we had wanted. You did a great job! We’d definitely recommend you to others!

The Roger Friedman Jazz Trio was fantastic! I just wish there were more people around to appreciate them. Thank you for your professionalism. It was great not to have to worry about anything.

The Trio was very professional! Very good group for our Mothers Day Brunch

This was the second year we have used Roger Friedman (Quartet) and I was very pleased both times. They add the perfect amount of class to the event. There were many compliments after the event. Next year we will need a dance floor!

The Roger Friedman Duo exceeded our expectations – very entertaining.

Roger played the perfect background music for our dinner and his style & talent made our dinner even more magical. Thank you Roger!

The most beautiful musica a bride & groom could ask for. Pefect!

Excellent service from start to finish!

The Roger Friedman Duo was the perfect entertainment for our intimate wedding. They can play a wide variety of music to satisfy the most diverse crowd. I would definitely hire them again. Jerry Bruno Productions is great to work with – pleasant and professional. Very top notch!

The Jerry Bruno Productions staff listened to our needs and made appropriate and helpful suggestions. The Roger Friedman Duet was perfect for our cocktail hour and Bottom Line kept our guests on the dance floor all night.

You have always provided a wonderful service. I can trust you to meet my needs every time I call.

Mr. Friedman was very courteous and professional. He really set the scene for our cocktail hour. Everyone was very pleased.

The Roger Friedman Trio was perfrect for our corporate event. Many attendees gave me positive comments about their music and performance. Our event was truly enhanced by their presence. It was just the right touch for the dinner – relaxed and professional as well as a nice mix of music selections.

Wonderful job! It was perfect.

I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to you and the rest of the band members for a fantastic performance at our wedding! My husband and I had a wonderful time, and we thought you did an awesome job with our first dance song: Chasing Cars. Not only that, but it was clear that the guests enjoyed dancing and listening as well. After the wedding we received so many complements on the music and we could only agree! Having NY Minute perform was one of the best decisions we made – you guys really set the mood exactly how we imagined!

We had a phenomenal time Saturday night and New York Minute was one of the primary reasons all of our guests left happy. I can’t begin to tell you how many of my guests said ‘that was the best band I’ve ever seen at a wedding or any event.’ You and the rest of the team did a great job. Many people especially liked the way members of the band came out onto the dance floor. Very cool.

Thank you so much for everything you did for Eric and me at our wedding this weekend! We had a great time! We are so thrilled with New York Minute’s performance! Thanks again for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Every facet of Jerry Bruno Productions (Cleveland Music Group) is a first class operation which is enhanced by an impressive group of talent and professionalism. I was referred to your company and I will refer others. Thank You. I hardly spent much time working with Mike Fisher and yet, everything was professional and the performance was beautiful. Also, anytime I called or e-mailed the main office, I received a quick response…very appreciated!

With all of the details in planning a wedding, Jerry Bruno Productions (Cleveland Music Group) & their performers alleviated all of the stress that could have been involved! Their music is something we will always remember as a special part of our wedding mass! The ceremony music was beautiful!!

The Mike Fisher Trio made our ceremony even more amazing than I could have imagined. They were that special added touch to an amazing day. All the Guests at the ceremony were blown away by the trumpets. Mike Fisher Trio, my organist and vocalist all blended together perfectly!!!

Mike was very courteous and let me know they were meeting early (the soloist & organist) to rehearse a little. He sounded wonderful and comes highly recommended!!

Wedding guests told me that the wedding ceremony music was Glorious. Thank you for making my wedding a truly memorable event.

Mike Fisher did a fabulous job playing during my wedding. He really added to the ceremony. Thanks for helping make our day wonderful!

Thank You! Mike was great!

Jerry Bruno Productions (Cleveland Music Group) and Mike Fisher were most professional and delightful to work with; easy to reach, flexible, and accommodating. I would certainly work with them again.

Mike Fisher topped of the ceremony with an amazing performance! I felt like royalty waling into the church.

What a super program of piano music you had for our residents here at the Lutheran Home. Great selections of songs – great talent.

Thank you so much for the beautiful music you played during dinner at our reception. Your talents are amazing, and we thank you for sharing them with us on our most special day!

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed having the Dukes of Wail play for our wedding at the Cleveland Athletic Club. Your vocalist did an excellent job of introducing us and our friends. Most importantly, the music was upbeat, expertly performed, and very much enjoyed by everyone.

Thank you very much for your fantastically fun performance for our wedding. We had such a great time and enjoyed the evening due in much part to your fun show. A great highlight for me was when you played ‘Big Mammou’ Definitely one of my favorites. Thank you for giving us such a great time.

If youre ‘wailing’ for excellent music, then call the Dukes of Wail. You will not be disappointed, youll love them! The Dukes of Wail were terrific the guests enjoyed all the music and had a wonderful time. They had a blast!

The entire band was great Overall they did an excellent job. We are very pleased!

Thanks again, everyone loved your music. We hope to see you again at one of your venues. You did a great job.

My husband and I booked Harry Bacharach to play at our early summer wedding. We were looking for someone who could both entertain without overwhelming our diverse guests. Harry was the perfect choice. He was punctual and ready to entertain when our firsts guests arrived. Harry’s live performance was an impressive touch to our wedding reception. Everyone really responded to Harry’s style and panache. My husband and I were delighted with his performance and highly recommend him to anyone looking for live entertainment.

I hired Harry Bacharach to perform at my son’s Bar Mitzvah. Harry was terrific and his music really enhanced our celebration. He was a pleasure to work with and made sure that our musical requests were accommodated. His personality and songs really enhanced our party. Both the kids and the adults enjoyed Harry’s music. I have rave reviews about Harry and recommend him for anyone who is throwing a party, big or small.

We wanted to give you a big thanks for yesterday. EVERYONE was raving about how great of music you played and how great of a job you did getting everyone involved. Thanks for helping the reception flow so smoothly and for all of your advice about all the events. I will recommend you to anyone I know.

The Straight Six Dixie made our fat Tuesday event. All of our guests had a great time.

They did a great job. Our theme was Mardi Gras and they fit right in.

We couldn’t have been happier with Walt Sanders and The Cadillac Band. Our guests will always remember New Years Eve and our wedding. They were great. The comments we received from our guests about your band were fantastic. You guys did a great job. We loved the show and so did everybody else. It could not have been better.

Had a blast!

We had a blast dancing to The Orchestra ‘s music at our wedding reception! The band really made our party fun and everyone danced the night away. Working with Dwayne to plan everything was easy and low stress. He was flexible and responsive to our requests. Best wedding band in Cleveland for sure.

Great Sound – Great Music

The Orchestra performed at our daughter’s wedding recently. They were exceptional. They played very “danceable” music and had our guests on the dance floor most of the night. We were very happy with our choice of The Orchestra for the wedding.

Coeli Ingold brought warm timbre, and a lyrical line to quiet songs by Dowland and Johnson.

Coeli Ingold’s Gretel claimed just the right touches of purity and warmth. Her lyric soprano brought silvery agility to the girl’s lines, her trill was real, and she centered pitches squarely on target.

Ingold displayed a light and agile soprano, where she matched trills, runs and birdcall imitations with the soft pastoral sound of Fink’s wooden flute.

…Blonde was perfectly played by soprano Coeli Ingold…she sounded right at home in Mozart’s coloratura arias and high-flying pitch range…She blossomed beautifully as a comic opera soubrette.

Coeli Ingold, who performs regularly in area productions, displayed a good command of the writing for Blonde.

Ingold handled elaborate embellishments with skill and she shifted easily from outcries of despair to playful moralizing, she had the sweet vocal quality to play the country maiden.

Soprano Coeli Ingold sang with sweet timbre, well-schooled technique and excellent early-music manners.

She has a light but pure-toned voice and an immaculate technique…she shaped the music with fine control, gracefully integrating the ornaments into the vocal line…none of the other singers commanded the technique that characterized the singing of Ingold.

Ingold, the Camerata’s director, sang like a baroque instrumentalist with a good French accent…producing a light and clear tone, she prolonged dissonances, negotiated embellishments with agility and reserved vibrato for expressive purposes.

…Coeli Ingold showed another side to her artistry…the soprano, who usually concentrates on early music, brought shimmering vocal qualities…including pristine trills that elude most exponents of the role…How nice to hear the part sung with such agility and tonal purity…A capacity audience appeared charmed by the production.

The qualities to be emphasized in singing airs de cour are delicatesse (refinement) nd mignardise (daintiness). Both were evident in Ms. Ingold’s singing style. Her lovely, flexible voice delighted the audience.

She sounded right at home in Mozart’s coloratura arias and high-flying pitch range.

Ingold was enchanting in conveying the perky purity of the coloratura phrases in answer to Mary Kay Fink’s virtuosically ornamented bird calls on transverse flute.

Her voice expressed fiery emotions…she eloquently expressed the music’s tragic emotions and dramatic contrasts.

Besides her engaging antics on stage, Ingold’s youthful and sparkling clear voice is undeniably well-suited for this character.

Coeli Ingold has an absolutely amazing voice – very talented!

Coeli has a beautiful voice and helped make our ceremony spectacular. Her solos were very much talked about amongst our guests.

Absolutely beautiful voice.

Colei is wonderful, she sings like an angel and helped make our wedding ceremony so beautiful. She also was readily available in helping me make the musical selections for our ceremony and was a great help!

Such a god given talent that is put to beautiful use. Coeli out did Sara Brightman in my opinion. She is beautiful and so is her voice!

Absolutely beautiful voice! Ava Maria was my favorite! Thanks again for making our wedding day perfect!

Coeli sounded unforgettable. The music was simply beautiful.

A winter wedding

We hired The Element to play at our daughters wedding reception. Right from the beginning we felt very comfortable working with Erin. Picking the right entertainment is by far the most important aspect in producing a fun evening of celebration. The band was absolutely the best. The variety of songs played were perfect. The dance floor was packed all night long. Thank you to the band The Element for accommodating our choice in music and helping make the evening a night to remember!

Beyond Fantastic – still getting compliments

We could not be more blown away by the talent that The Orchestra brought to our wedding. From the moment they started, our guests were asking where we found this incredible band, and they were asking for referrals for their own events. Even 5 days later, our guests are still raving about The Orchestra. They absolutely exceeded our expectations. The band leader, Dwayne, was incredibly accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was accessible to me in the weeks leading up to the event so that we could plan every detail, and he made every single request of ours a reality. The band was even gracious enough to accommodate a slight change in timing that we requested at the end of the night. Thank you so much to Dwayne, Scott, and The Orchestra for being the highlight of the night!

Cleveland Wedding

What an awesome band!! Organized, extremely flexible and easy to work with, and very professional. We have had so many compliments from our wedding guests on how great the band was! The band kept everyone on the dance floor the entire evening, and they were simply phenomenal! Above and beyond our expectations, and we would recommend them over and over again!! Thanks CLE music Group and The Avenue Band !

The Bottom Line is AMAZING!

We hired technology for our wedding ceremony (sound system, etc) and our wedding band ( The Bottom Line ) through CLE Music Group and couldn’t have been happier. Scott Jones was a pleasure to work with–always quick to respond and able to explain the best ways to handle our situation. The Bottom Line was AMAZING and we can’t imagine our wedding without them. The dance floor was full the ENTIRE night. They sounded wonderful–our emcee Stan was delightful and really got the crowd going. They were super willing to play our music during their breaks and really paid attention to the songs that we asked them to play. All of our interactions with them were stellar and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you to the Bottom Line; we continue to get compliments!

A Night to Remember!

Wow. My wedding reception went off without a hitch thanks to the emcee of the night, DJ Mike Alexander . He was professional, timely and really cared that our night went the way we planned it. I would use Mike and the CLE Music Group again in a heartbeat and would easily recommend them to a friend.

The Avenue was amazing

Dear future Mr and Mrs, Sarah and I would like to take a moment to rave about how wonderful The Avenue was. We both know the level of anxiety that surrounds selecting the perfect band. Rest assured, THIS IS THE BAND FOR YOU! I will digress for one moment to share how nervous Sarah was that our dance floor would be empty. She wasn’t sure if people would be up and dancing. The ONLY time that people sat was during the sit-down meals. Our party ended at 1 am and had The Avenue continued to play music, our dance floor would have continued to dance. Our guests kept shouting for one more song and after that one ended they wanted another. Every single person from young to old told us how impressed they were and how amazing the band was. Good luck to you and early congratulations from the November 21st, 2015 Bride and Groom Sarah and Jason Pillet

Kept people on the dance floor all night!

From the introductions to the final song, DJ Smoov was on point! He kept the party going all night long. Great sense of what the crowd wanted and a true professional. I would tell anybody looking for a DJ, for any event, give DJ Smoov a call.

Excellent harpist

Beautiful music selection. Ginny was timely and very responsive to our needs. Erin was amazing at setting everything up.

Our DJ ( Billy King ) was great and our staff had a wonderful evening due to his entertainment.

Thank you for another great event! This is the second year we have used The Orchestra – music is great and those in attendance “danced the night away!” Great sound – would recommend to anyone!

Judi was a terrific addition to our event

Judi of Backstreet DJs was the perfect choice for our holiday party. I had many people ask how we found her, so kudos to The Cleveland Music Group website. We would definitely use Judi again and I would love to have the budget to have the Backstreet Trio. Our group crossed an age group of 25-75 and Judi was able to actively engage the entire group. She announced our activities and speakers and drew numbers for our door prizes. Very professional, a smooth as silk voice . . . We had a fun and entertaining evening and Judi was a big part of making it all come together. Thank You again, Judi!

GE Lighting holiday party for CEO and staff

The Sunrise Jones Band was fantastic and we had many comments from our guests who said they thought the band was great.

A perfect evening & a packed dance floor

Our wedding was an absolutely blast, and DJ DC was a HUGE part of that! He kept everyone out on the dance floor until midnight and played a great mix of music genres that appealed to all our guests, no matter their age. His MC skills helped the night run smooth. My husband and I were confident after meeting with him that he was our guy. He was always responsive to questions and accommodated all our requests – before and during the wedding. I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

Great talent, energy and enthusiasm!

We received countless comments from our guests about the talent and quality of the band ( The Avenue ). They brought tremendous energy and enthusiasm to our wedding, bringing everyone out onto the dance floor, even those who normally don’t dance. Our 750 square foot dance floor was packed to capacity all night long and at 1AM for the last song. The band leader did a fantastic job with all of the planning and details and did a masterful job acting as MC.

DJ DC Rocks!

This company was by far one of the most PROFESSIONAL to work with of all the vendors we hired for our special day. From beginning to end, we truly felt like we were in good hands not only picking Cleveland Music Group , but specifically DJ DC (aka Dan Cormier) . We were VERY picky about the DJ for our event. We had been to weddings where, let’s just say you realize how important the DJ is at the end of the day.

Since we were planning our wedding from across the country, it was a challenge to find the right fit for us. We just didn’t have the time or luxury of interviewing countless DJs before our wedding day. We really appreciated that Cleveland Music Group is hip with the times—showcasing each DJ they have to offer with personalized individual webpages, complete with a highlight video for each DJ to give you an idea of their personality, style, and approach. EXTREMELY helpful. Did not find this sort of info on other DJ sites.

As soon as we met Dan in person, we were sold. His outstanding voice, laid back personality, and can-do attitude instantly put us at ease. He understood our needs without much explanation at all. He was the first DJ we met with, and we booked him immediately! The day of our wedding was amazing. He accommodated all of our requests—much more work on his end—and was easily able to adapt to any last minute changes during the course of the evening. He kept us up to speed on where the night was headed—knew exactly what to anticipate when—and adjusted things accordingly. He clearly knew what he was doing and always kept things professional. We got sooo many compliments from friends and family how great the music was. The dance floor was packed all night long. Can’t imagine our reception without DJ DC! Thank you!!

Outstanding Act

The Michelle Romary Trio was everything we expected, and more. Arrived early, performed impeccably without a break. Sang current and topical material and engaged with the audience. Michelle’s personality oozed out and she was the hit of the evening. We were delighted with her performance.

Exceeded Our Expectations!

The TCB band was great! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music, vocals, and playlist. The band was professional and stayed with our timeline for the evening. I highly recommend TCB! The lighting was professional and added to the atmosphere of the evening.

Our Wedding Music

Nate Jones and his backup singer Michelle played the most beautiful music at our wedding ceremony and reception! They added the perfect touch to the wedding and I haven’t stopped hearing compliments since! From Beatles to Calvin Harris, old, new, fast, and slow. They did it all (better than originals!) We loved the instrumental and vocals more than we could ever explain.

Two Grand Slams!

The guitar music by John Toula for the small outdoor wedding was beautiful and lent a nice quaint mood instead of recorded music. And then the Matt Horwich jazz trio under the reception tent was like we were treating our guests to a private concert!!

Great Night!

The Pianist and the band,  Rick & the Cutting Edge , really made our wedding special. The guests loved the live music and all of the songs. The dance floor was packed the whole night. Rick was very easy to work with and did a great job with announcing the wedding party.

Guests at the wedding loved the band. Mike was easy to work with and very helpful. TCB was referred to me by a friend, I am very grateful!!!

Best wedding of the year

DJ Bill Bowen did an awesome job of music selection and engaged our guests to keep them dancing all night long. Bill also did a great job of keeping us on task, which lead to a perfect evening.

Everything was fantastic! DJ Brent did a great job and played all the right music to get us and the guests dancing. We all had a great time.

Professional Service, Very Happy!

Working with CLE Music Group was first class from start to finish. We had an onsite meeting to start to learn about their offerings and it was great to work with a group that had so many options to fit our needs. We selected DJ DC as our DJ at the wedding and couldn’t be happier. He made sure all our guests were happy and filling the dance floor. I was also impressed how professional he was prior to the wedding via emails and phone conversations. He was insistent on making everything perfect – and it was! Mission accomplished!

This company is wonderful to work with. From finding the right DJ to the event, working with DJ Tom was an easy deal. The reception went smoothly, the music was what we asked for, the volume perfect. DJ Tom works his magic to give you the best event possible!

DJ Matt Was Great

DJ Gaz was great. He took requests and kept our group dancing. Great job.

We loved having Eric Smith DJ our wedding at the Cleveland Arcade! Eric was fantastic to work with – collaborative, responsive and prepared. We had so many guests compliment the music selection, and the dance floor was still packed for the last song. Thanks so much to Eric for helping to make our wedding so personal and memorable.

Bill Kurtycz was an absolutely phenomenal DJ! He was very polite and professional and had the dance floor packed for the entire reception. The music selection was perfect and several guests commented that it was the best music they had ever experienced at a wedding. Thank you so much for making our special day even better! I didn’t have to worry about the music at all.

DJ Gaz is 5 star

Fantastic experience with Matt ( DJ Gaz ). I appreciated his sharing his insight and experience on reception flow of events. You can tell he has a lot of experience. He is extremely personable and he kept the dance floor packed in between band breaks. He is a consummate professional and a terrific DJ.

Best Part of the Night!

Simply outstanding! The Orchestra blew us away at our wedding. We received so many compliments from all of our guests on how AMAZING the band was, and they truly were! The variety of songs played was perfect, and each band member was on point…especially the emcee and the lead singers. I’m pretty sure that Louis Armstrong himself returned for the night! Working with CLE Music Group (f/k/a Jerry Bruno Productions) was a breeze as well, from the initial contact all the way until the night of. We cannot say enough great things about the whole organization, but The Orchestra absolutely made the night!

Talent, Energy and Professionalism…the Trifecta!

Once the music started, everyone hit the dance floor and never stopped. The guests responded so well to The Element , the energy was palpable. I have to admit that even though I had heard the demos and thought the talent was there, I wasn’t sure if the group would be a big enough sound to carry the tent. But they are such sensational musicians and singers, they do have a “big” sound and “pulled” the crowd onto the floor…young and old alike. They were courteous and even let one of our guests onto the stage to sing a couple of songs…and they harmonized with him! I was thrilled and the bride and groom were too. The Element was a key ingredient to making it such a joyous occasion.

DJ Scott Jones made our wedding perfect! He helped make the entire evening flow perfectly and helped create an unforgettable evening for us! We cannot recommend him and the entire Cleveland Music Group enough!

Fun and classy entertainment!

DJ Bill Bowen did an excellent job of fulfilling our plan we made with him in advance plus taking all the changes and additions that came the night of the event in stride! He played everything we wanted to hear plus much more. He kept everyone on the dance floor, which is all we wanted. Highly recommend.

Packed Dance Floor -Wedding

DJ Dave Eubanks  and the uplights were amazing. The DJ kept the dance floor busy all night and we had to extend the night to keep up! We had an amazing wedding day because he was energetic and so pleasant to our guests. Great Job!!!

The RayBans….Amazing!

We hired the RayBans for our wedding and there is only one word to describe the band as well as the customer service from Scott at CLE Music Group: Amazing. Craig from The RayBans was so easy to deal with, made us feel as if this was the only wedding he did all year and was an absolute professional. To be honest, we were nervous, they weren’t one of the higher price tags on the site and they didn’t have a ton of gigs that we could go see. We did not get to see them prior to our wedding due to timing but Scott from CLE Music group put his name on the line for them and I am glad he did. The 5 piece we got was amazing, beautiful voices, and throughout the night I had to convince myself that they were a band and not just playing the music via iPod. I recommend the 5 piece highly, they truly were…amazing.

Great experience

I had a great experience with Erin Rossi. When my band canceled, she helped me to find a band so quickly as well as a ceremony/cocktail hour option. She worked after her hours and stopped everything to help me. Being in the industry, that is the customer service people look for. Although we didn’t use the full band option, we did use the cocktail hour and the music was perfect. They were great! Thanks to Erin and Scott.

Great Wedding DJ at a great Price!

Bill was great – incredibly professional, got everything set up when he needed, and provided exactly what we asked for both during the ceremony and the reception. We couldn’t have been happier with the level of service and the value for the price. We definitely recommend CLE Music Group (and specifically DJ Bill Bowen ) for your wedding or event!

Professional and Accomodating

Nothing but good things I can say about the Esto Jazz band . They were very professional and accommodating to the proper noise level for our fundraiser. Very nice to work with and they played great music! We would definitely hire them again.

Jonathan was wonderful!

Jonathan (jazz piano) was perfect for my grandmother’s birthday party. He was easy to work with, and played the songs my grandmother requested. Everyone at the party had a great time and loved the music. I would definitely recommend Jonathan!

We had Scott Jones DJ our special day and couldn’t have been happier! They kept the crowd going until the very last song and kept my husband and I on track through our itinerary! Couldn’t have been happier!!!

We booked ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music through Cleveland Music Group and every part of our day was fantastic! The Sonata Strings were a beautiful touch to our ceremony and even looked into a special song for us. Jeff Sherman on guitar was a hit at cocktail hour prompting a lot of compliments from guests. Lastly, DJ Eric Smith kept the dance floor going all night with so many fun songs. Everyone we worked with to coordinate at Cleveland Music Group was so helpful and friendly. We are glad we selected them for our wedding!

Fantastic Music!

Our budget for music was tight, but Cleveland Music Group was able to work with us to book the Dave Sterner Duo . They were absolutely perfect for our casual brunch reception. The musicians were kind and professional and I cannot compliment their talents enough. The music really set the atmosphere and our guests really enjoyed them too!

Outstanding Work and Support

DJ Art was outstanding. He took all of our requests and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. When all of our selections were made, Art did a great job of filling the reception with a wide variety of music that created the atmosphere we were looking for. A good variety of artists and even genres, all while maintaining a great flow. People were on the floor all night. Art worked closely with the venue staff, officiant, photographer, videographer and of course the bride and myself to make sure that everything went off perfectly. I would, and have, recommended him to anyone looking for a great DJ.

Phil Turk was AWESOME!!!

We booked Phil Turk to sing during our cocktail and dinner hours. He did an outstanding job. The guest loved him and thought that his voice was amazing! He added such a great touch to our reception. We highly recommend him! He does not disappoint.

Outstanding! Phenomenal!

DJ DC could not have been any better. He was the highlight of our wedding. My guests raved, we loved our music, he was phenomenal. I will recommend him for as long as he’s DJing! Great personality, so easy to work with! Forever grateful.

Fantastic…was worth every penny!!!!!

I am so pleased that I hired DJs. Judi and Rick were talented professionals who made the difference. Even though very reasonably priced, people came up to me to compliment me “putting money” into the music. The music made a difference. My 83 year old aunt even danced with all of us. What more can I say?? I wish I could have the evening repeated again and again. Judi and Rick played the music I requested and then they added to the play list to make the evening fun.

Dj Brent was fantastic!

DJ Brent Schmidt was the DJ at our wedding. My husband and I got so many compliments about how fun the music was and how professional he was throughout the night. He kept all our guests on the dance floor and kept the whole process running smoothly. We’re so happy that we went with the Cleveland Music Group! Everyone we dealt with was helpful and professional! I would recommend DJ Brent to any bride looking for a fun, professional DJ who helps make your special day so great!

A wedding to be remembered!

DJ DC did a wonderful job with our wedding reception. He listened carefully to our preferences and was very accommodating with all of our requests. He used his knowledge and flare to keep the party going all night long. We had so many guests on the dance floor – including family members we have never seen dance at a wedding before! It was a party to remember!!

This was the most amazing night of our lives. Throughout the wedding planning process we knew there were a couple of very important things we needed to focus on. The entertainment being one of the top on our list. We reached out to Cleveland Music Group just looking to get a price and it turned out to be the best/easiest decision we ever made. We chose Tommy D as our DJ. When we met with him we was very patient and listened to everything we wanted and did not want for our big day. The entire night we received so many compliments on how great the music was and the dance floor was packed all night! We cant thank him enough for making our big day so special!

wedding uplighting on short notice

I contacted your company shortly before my wedding reception to request information about uplighting. I was in a bit of a panic as I knew from early on that I wanted uplighting for my wedding reception but was not proactive in securing a vendor as my DJ (which I did secure early) provided uplighting also. Shortly before the wedding, and after my walk through at the venue with my DJ, I learned what the DJ’s pricing was for uplighting services . I was not so pleasantly surprised at the DJs pricing for uplighting or the push to sell me 3 times the lights I needed and decided to try and find a more reasonable vendor. I contacted Cleveland Music Group on short notice and was extremely pleased with the services. I received an email response back promptly after my request for information, and the price was much more reasonable. The uplighting was perfect!!! I absolutely love the ambiance it created and the effect it provided in pictures. Thank you for providing such great service on short notice and at a reasonable price. I would recommend your company highly.

Absolutely amazing!!!

I could not be happier that we chose to go with The Element for our live band. They did such an excellent job! I can’t even count how many of my guests said that our reception was the funnest they had ever been to and it was all thanks to The Element! They were even accommodating of some of our rowdier guests and allowed them to join them up on stage. They truly made it the best night ever!

Perfect Ceremony and Reception

We wouldn’t have changed a single note for our wedding day music. DJ Matt Gazdak was friendly and easy to work with. He was happy to play some of our quirkier song selections for our wedding ceremony. Everyone enjoyed his selections for cocktail hour. And the reception was such a blast! The dance floor never was less than half full the entire night, mostly it was packed. Guests told us they wished they had the nights music as a playlist to take home.

DJ Mike was awesome! He definitely kept the party going. We were very happy with how he ran the reception. It is exactly what my daughter and her new husband wanted. Thank you!!

Best DJ and guitarist in the Cleveland area!

I was planning my wedding from out of state (in DC). I found Cleveland Music Group on the knot.com. Going with DJ Eli and Flamenco Guitarist Carlos Alberto  from Cleveland Music Group was the best decision we could have made. Carlos played beautifully and we got multiple compliments. Eli was phenomenal, did a great job and made our wedding such a great experience. He was able to accommodate a broad range of age groups. We also had many people ask where they can find Eli for DJing at future events. Thumbs up for both of these guys and would look no further then using them for your event. 5 stars.

Everyone loved the band!

We hired Bottom Line Band for our wedding on August 1, and they were terrific! They learned our first dance song, and emceed the dinner. Everyone LOVED the band. We got comments on how great they were from almost the minute they started playing. Our dance floor was packed all night, even though it was a little sweaty in the barn. Even after their set breaks, once they started up everyone flocked back to the dance floor. We are so very glad we went with Bottom Line Band.

Awesome wedding dj!

So many of our guests were so excited about how great a DJ we had. DJ Eli was so energetic and real. He did a great job of playing songs for everyone and he had the dance floor packed with all age groups on the first song.

Great music!

The musicians of My Three Sons do such a great job of keeping our guests entertained. They have a wide range of music to match the mood of cocktail hour, during dinner and then keeping the dance floor filled! They play something for everyone from 60s mellow and rock, to current hits – they sound great no matter what they are playing. All our guests look forward to enjoying the music of Sam and his band at our annual party.

We danced all night!!!

From start to finish, the entire group was very professional. They energized the crowd with a well rounded play list and engaged our guests. The dance floor was full all night and everyone commented on how fabulous the band was. Dwayne did a great job of emceeing and kept everything organized. Many thought we were crazy to spend this much money but afterward it was well worth the money spent. Thank you for helping to make our daughter’s wedding such a night to remember.

AWESOME party!

DJ DC did an amazing job coordinating the music for our Wedding and Reception. He kept the evening moving along, the dance floor hopping and the bride and groom, happy! Our guests are raving about how fun the night was. The nieces and nephews danced their legs off. The music was fun, diverse, and brought in all the guests to dance at some point. We are still smiling at the success of our Wedding Event and owe a good portion of that to DJ DC!

The Orchestra was more than we could have imagined!

I am still basking in the after glow of my daughter’s wedding. To say The Orchestra was fabulous is an understatement. They made the wedding! The dance floor was packed every moment the entire night – until 12:45 AM when they stopped playing. The song selection was superb. The tempo of the songs was right on. The songs that were requested by my daughter and son in law, and were learned by The Orchestra, were perfect. The timing of the evening, orchestrated by Dwayne, went very smoothly. Being the mother of the bride, I did not have to worry about a thing! The Orchestra took control and carried the evening. The Orchestra received rave reviews all night long from our guests, and I am still hearing about how wonderful they were. My sister now wants to have a party just so she can hire The Orchestra! Comments and text messages from our friends went like this: The wedding was beautiful, food delicious, your daughter looked magnificent…AND THE BAND WAS AMAZING!!! Thank you for making our wedding the best party we could have ever imagined!!!

Amazing DJ and MC!

Judi was amazing! She supported us throughout the entire process. She answered even the most basic questions for us about the wedding reception process and order of events with grace and helpfulness. Judi was a fantastic MC and kept the evening running smoothly. We had a very international feel at our reception and asked Judi and her brother Rick to manage a very diverse playlist which they did beautifully! We could not have asked for a better wedding night and would recommend them for all events and weddings.

Fantastic Wedding Reception

The team was fantastic – professional and very fun. Everyone had a phenomenal time.

Loved the entertainment!! Thank you! Stan was terrific!!!

Processional

Beautiful music for our ceremony!

The Bottom Line was terrific. They sounded amazing and really worked to keep people on the dance floor with their selections. We loved having them.

Truly amazing performance!!!

We have heard from so many people that TCB was outstanding! My husband and I absol loved their performance. They kept the crowd dancing all night.

The guest loved the Sunrise Jones Band and the genre of music played. They were on the dance floor all night long. Guest are still complimenting the band days after and recommending that they are to be booked for the next party!

The band, The Element , made the wedding the “party of the century!” (a quote from a guest at the wedding!) It was so much fun, and the dance floor was jam packed all night! The variety of the music was awesome…and the band was fabulous! I just can’t say enough about how happy we were with the band!

DJ Tommy D did an amazing job for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! My husband and I wanted someone who could read the room and keep people on the dance floor, he did just that and kept our party going till the end! He was fun, easy-going, and and overall joy to work with!

Family and friends can’t stop talking about the DJ!

Herby (DJ Smoov) was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was professional, kind, and patient, and really helped us design the music for the wedding. My husband and I originally chose DJ Smoov because we like dance music (EDM), but we also needed his help with the ceremony, cocktail and dinner hours. That meant we got to enjoy a full range of genres throughout the evening: classical, soul, rock, oldies, EDM, hip-hop, top 40, and even some obscure French and Irish music we requested for our families! The DJ was one of our top priorities for the evening, and DJ Smoov was, as my dad said, “a home run.” He was spinning classics early and then threw the best dance party my family has ever seen. My sister was so sore from dancing that she couldn’t walk for 2 days…but she said it was definitely worth it!

Wedding Wow!

The Sonata Strings set the tone for a romantic modern wedding ceremony. The Bottom Line kept everyone on the dance floor until midnight, they were fantastic and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend both of them!

Great Acoustics!

DJ Eric performed in an excellent manner, from organizing the bridal party introductions, announcing the people giving toasts, excellent dinner music, very good family dance intros and played music that everyone enjoyed. A very good mixture of both slow and fast dances. He even got a dance train started that everyone loved. Also, I believe that he played almost every song that I (father of the Bride) requested before the event. The dance floor was always full, which is always a good indication that the DJ is performing his job very well. I’ve been to several weddings were you could not hear the DJ speak or the words to the songs. Overall great job Eric. The  uplighting was great and very nicely positioned. The photo booth was a big hit and was one of the best that I have experienced.

Wedding reception

The Orchestra was absolutely wonderful!!! Kept the whole crowd on their feet all night long!! People were saying, “who is this band?” “The band is great,” and “How did you find the band? They are fantastic!” All night I kept hearing the same comments! You truly made the evening a success! Thank you!!

Perfect for our Outdoor Service

The beauty and elegance of the music of Sonata Strings Trio added the perfect element to our outdoor wedding service. It was very easy to select the appropriate music, and it was flawlessly executed. We had a wonderful positive experience.

Fox 8 Wedding

Angela and I thought that your band was amazing. We could not be more happy with the service provided to us. The Element was such an amazing band and be advised that all of my guests have informed us how well your performed. I can honestly tell you that we could not be more pleased and thank you for making our wedding day, the day we have always dreamed of.

Cleveland Music Group was great to work with from start to finish. Scott Jones was always in touch through the planning process and prompt to respond to my calls or emails. Our DJ, Tommy Dwyer , was fantastic! He reached out to us a few weeks before our wedding to go over details. He was so friendly, fun, and as excited as we were. He made us feel very comfortable. He kept the reception on time and could totally read the crowd. I was on the dance floor more than anyone, and the music always fit the group of people who were also dancing. He played a great variety of music appealing to all ages. At the end of the night when the photographers and videographers were gone, he recorded a little of our last slow dance which was one of my favorite memories. It was so thoughtful of him to record it so I could have that memory forever. We had a blast!!!

Tommy Dwyer is the best DJ

Our wedding was a month ago. We still have friends and family talking about how great the DJ was. Tommy was great. He kept everything on schedule and more importantly, played great music and kept everything fun and exciting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tommy to anyone who is having a wedding.

The Element – Wedding

The Element was a great band for my wedding! They were so easy to work with during the planning and the wedding day. We were FLOODED with compliments from our wedding guests about the band!

Danced the night away!

Herby was a fantastic DJ. He helped orchestrate our event exactly as we had planned, and pumped up the energy of our guests. He introduced our wedding party perfectly, played songs exactly from the genres we requested, and kept the dance floor FULL all night long. Couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. Thanks, Herby!!

“A Band” Rocked the House

I had a birthday party at Landerhaven & hired The ‘A’ Band with 7 pieces. The band is the party and my event could not have been more fun. They played a variety of music, were easy to work with, professional, and kept the party going all night. Everyone commented on how fantastic they were! Thanks for making my special day a success!

Rain Didn’t Stop Our Party at Pine Lake Trout Club

Erin Rossi was so helpful in the planning process and helped us find the perfect musicians for our event, John Toula (guitar) for the ceremony and DJ Jeff Kavali for the reception. Both were amazing to work with! John and Jeff were both so flexible and helped keep our guests entertained, despite the rain and impeding flood waters’ best efforts to stop our party. We could not have been more pleased with the music at our event! Thank you all so much for making this the best day of our lives!

Starkweather Brass – elegance for my wedding

Starkweather Brass did a lovely job with my wedding. They provided music during the entire mass, including prelude and postlude, and it was the perfect touch to the day. They were easy to book, easy to work with, and everything went well. I am part of a brass quintet and my fellow quintet members were also impressed! I’d highly recommend the group.

Scott Jones was fantastic!!

I couldn’t recommend DJ Scott Jones enough – from working with him the months leading up to the wedding to the day of, he made the whole process easy and enjoyable. He was extremely attentive to all of our needs. Scott’s expertise ensured our day ran smoothly, we can’t thank him enough. Our guests can’t stop talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor. Scott is truly a professional!

A great celebration with The Element!

We saw The Element play twice before hiring them for our Wedding. We loved the band and knew that they would put on a good show….we never expected to get the kind of amazing, blow the roof performance we ended up experiencing! The only instructions we had going in was to make sure everyone was dancing and having a good time. From the dancing during dinner to the hava nagila they kept our guests on their feet! Even the one who never get on the dance floor 🙂 Nearly every song we asked to hear was played, and we both loved how the band interacted with our guests. We were especially impressed with choice saxophone and trumpet solos. Everyone we talked to had wonderful things to say about The Element. We are both so happy we found this group and wish them all the success in the future. Thank you for everything. It was a great celebration with The Element!

The Avenue was outstanding.

The Avenue was outstanding. The musical arrangements, the band and singers were exactly what we wanted and more. They kept the volume to a level where people dancing could enjoy the music, and those that wanted to talk could hear above the band. We were constantly being complemented throughout the evening on how much everyone enjoyed the music. We would hire this band again in a heartbeat, and we will definitely recommend them in the future.

Set the perfect mood!!

On our wedding day, Carey Viton played the keyboards during our cocktail hour. While I did not hear him personally (we were taking photos), our guests mentioned how perfect the song choices were for the cocktail hour. The music that was played was a good mix of oldies + new, just what was needed to please all guests. It set the perfect mood that we wanted for the hour! I didn’t get the chance to thank him personally – so I hope he reads this so that he knows how thankful we are!

Great Prom!

DJs were great! They arrived on time and played great music for the students. The students danced all night! I thank you! The DJs were very professional in their manner! I would recommend them again!

Incredible Experience

Choosing a DJ was one of the most daunting tasks for us as we were planning our wedding. We are the first of our friends and family in the Cleveland area to plan a wedding, so we did not have any recommendations to start with. We knew that a DJ could make or break a wedding, so choosing the “right one” was very important to us. From the beginning of working with Scott, we knew that he would help make our wedding day go smoothly and put all of our worries to rest. He was not only very kind and very easy to talk to, but he acted as a mini wedding planner as he helped us plan out the flow of our reception. He took a lot of time to meet with us and chat about what we wanted to night to be like, and even worked with us to choose the perfect uplight color.

We had a last minute change to speeches + a few song choices, and Scott responded instantly, reassuring that everything would work out perfectly. Scott Jones literally was the perfect addition to our wedding reception. Before the event even started, he helped adjust the uplighting in the ceremony space, even though it was another vendor who set it up. He made the space look absolutely breathtaking, without even having to ask! this is a true testament of how much Scott cares about his clients and their happiness on their wedding day. I can’t thank him enough for doing this! As for the actual reception, he helped make it flow effortlessly, and helped us move along with ease. He helped guide us on what we should be doing next (i.e. after we ate, he told us to start going around to tables, and then told us when it was time to sit back down for toasts, etc.). He choose songs that pleased ALL people at the reception that got everyone up and dancing. We couldn’t believe some of the moves that our older guests were showing off!!

Many of our guests who attended the wedding commented on how great Scott was. My dad (who is a hard man to please!), commented on how awesome Scott was and how if people were not having a good time – that is was their own fault as Scott set the tone for an incredible night. Scott is the type of person that makes you want to have another wedding all over again just so that you can have the chance to work with him and experience him in action. A huge thank you to Scott and the rest of the Cleveland Music Group for helping make our wedding absolutely perfect. We hope to work with you again in the future, and will certainly be telling all of our friends about you!!!

The Best Night of My Life!

We got so many compliments on how amazing our band was…from dinner music through the end of the night, they were phenomenal. They really directed the flow of the night and engaged the crowd – what a blast. Leading up to the wedding Michael from TCB was dream to work with – he was as enthusiastic as we were for our big day and so communicative and helpful. We wish we could have danced MORE – we were so busy running around all night! We wish I could relive it all again!

Our event was truly a GREAT event thanks to The Orchestra and their outstanding performance. They were extremely organized and professional. They were accommodating to some changes in our agenda that evening. And the result was amazing…..an awesome performance for our guests who all seemed to enjoy the songs!

Best night of our lives

The band was amazing and had everyone on the dance floor all night long!!! They played every song with perfection! The fact that they learned our first dance song just for us was extremely special! The Orchestra truly helped make this the best night of our lives!

DJ DC is amazing!

I could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding . From the first contact I had with Cleveland Music Group I was sold. Every time I spoke with someone there from choosing the DJ to then speaking with our chosen DJ it just got me more excited for the wedding! DJ DC was friendly and so energetic from the getgo. He was so easy to work with and did an amazing job keeping the party going. He played the perfect music selections for each aspect of the reception and definitely had people out on the dance floor all night long! I would HIGHLY recommend him and Cleveland Music Group.

We loved Rick and Judi!

We could not have been more pleased with Backstreet Entertainment . Rick set such an elegant tone playing jazz on the baby grand piano during cocktails. Once Judi took over with introductions and toasts during dinner, the evening just continued to soar. With a crowd ranging from 20-somethings to 80+, Judi and Rick kept us going until midnight. Plus, they are just lovely people with whom we really enjoyed sharing our special day. We would highly recommend them to family and friends without hesitation.

Packed Dance Floor all night!

DJ Scott Jones – along with DJ Tommy Dwyer – kept our dance floor packed all night long! Scott was so professional, helpful and responsive with any questions or requests we had!

Best Wedding Band in CLE

We had K-street 8 piece for our wedding on New Year’s Eve. The staff at Cleveland Music Group was professional and quick to respond to all of my questions. Kyle Primous, lead in the band, was amazing! He knew exactly what we wanted and delivered a spectacular performance for our wedding reception. The dance floor was packed the entire night. Most of our guests are saying it was the most fun wedding they have been to. I highly recommend Cleveland Music Group, or K-Street for any event!!

The Avenue Rocks!

The Avenue rocked the house at our daughter’s wedding reception. Everyone was on the dance floor. The music played was great for all ages of guests from the bride’s 93 year old aunt to the 2 year old flower girl. Tiffany was wonderful to work with. Thanks for making the evening a night to remember!!

The “A” Band more than met our expectations. Everyone from our group was happy with the music and felt that the band was great. We were a little spread out as a group at a larger venue, but the band did a great job adapting as the party went along and really made for a night of dancing and fun. Overall, we could not be happier with the choice to have The “A” Band play for our holiday party.

Exceptional and first-class Band!

The Orchestra did an exceptional job at our wedding reception. They are first-class, professional, extremely talented, and caring all at the same time. We would reserve The Orchestra for future events or recommend to family and friends without hesitation.

DJ Eric Smith did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding. He kept the music and dancing going all night, was awesome at sensing the mood and preferences of our guests, and was beyond nice to work with (even with a few last minute changes). Couldn’t recommend him more highly – really made our reception what it was!

DJ Scott Jones kept the party going!

Scott Jones=bomb.com. He kept the party going! Thank you for a great night!

Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time!

You played at my daughter’s wedding at The Tudor Arms. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time! You did a great job. Thanks so much for helping to make the evening extra special!

The Music Made Magical Memories

Erin was professional. The group did an amazing job of responding to our concerns regarding the acoustics in the venue. People were able to converse throughout dinner and beyond. There was an excellent mix of music and people of several generations enjoyed dancing, including my husband’s 97 year old mother. The Element was fantastic! Thank you!

The Orchestra was absolutely fantastic!

Nearly all of our ~150 guests were on the dance floor the entire evening, and the energy level was high all night. Everyone had a blast–the older folks, our friends, and even the young kids. We’ve received so many complements on having “the best wedding band ever” from so many guests– we whole heartedly recommend The Orchestra!

I can’t thank the band enough for their talents and professionalism. When they started the Father/Daughter dance music, the wedding guests audibly gasped at how beautiful it sounded.

Brent was fun and easy to work with, did a great job and really was everything that we wanted in a DJ.

The dance floor was never empty. Brent perfected our plan. We’re still getting compliments about how fun the wedding was.

Words cannot express my gratitude to you. Thank you to you and the rest of the band for making our wedding night so perfect. Everything was perfect – from cocktail hour to the dance party – you guys KILLED it! Everyone has been asking me, ‘Who was your band?!’ And I make sure to tell them, ‘THE ELEMENT! Use them! They are amazing to work with.’

DJ Brent did a beyond amazing job at our wedding, we could not have asked for a more perfect evening. He kept all of our guest entertained musically and the dance floor was never empty! Highly recommended, everyone said he was the best wedding DJ!! Thanks so much!!

TCB was a blast to work with and all our guests loved them. The dance floor was full the entire night!

Wow! We knew you and your band were going to be good, but you absolutely blew us away!

You and the band were better than we could have imagined. Our guests thought so too!

Tony and the other band members did such an awesome job at our wedding reception! We heard many comments from guests about how terrific they were.

Fantastic band, I should have ordered a larger dance floor!

We cant thank you enough for the amazing job you did…you guys are truly the best of the best.

The Element went above and beyond our expectations – everyone at the wedding was commenting on how great they were, even those few that weren’t on the dance floor! Erin was amazing and easy to work with before the reception and as emcee made our night flow so easily – it couldn’t have gone better. I’d recommend The Element to everyone looking for a great party at your event!

THANK YOU to everyone involved in The Orchestra’s performance Saturday night at our wedding.  We hired the band in part because of their great reputation, so we had high expectations coming in.  That said, The Orchestra completely blew us away.  My wife and I could not be happier with our choice. The dance floor was packed the entire night. I can’t count the number of people that came up to me during the night and remarked that The Orchestra was the best wedding band they have ever seen. I will recommend The Orchestra to everyone I talk with! Thank you again!!

Your band made us look good!! Seriously, you were the BEST!!!

Mike and I wanted to send a huge thank you for helping to make our day so amazing!! You are so talented at what you do and helped make the evening run smoothly by keeping everything on schedule. The music was perfect all night and you kept the dance floor going. You went above and beyond and we received numerous compliments on how amazing you were as a DJ and overall host of our reception. You were so fun and we couldn’t have found anyone more perfect for our wedding than you! Thanks again for everything!!!

Thank you for doing such a great job at our wedding. While a lot of the crowd did not dance, we received several compliments about how much our guests loved the music from their tables. We even received several where did you find such a great band? I will most definitely be recommending you to family, friends and colleagues.

DJ Eric Smith did an excellent job of not being too intrusive on the microphone, and let the music dictate the flow of the evening. I received compliments from our guests who noticed this, and were thankful we didn’t have a DJ trying to steal the attention, which can ruin the atmosphere.

For all the challenges that having a wedding at a family farm presented, Bill and his assistant worked with us to setup a great sound system that really complimented our wedding day.

I wanted to let you know that we received so many compliments on the band. My parents also received quoted a few compliments as well. You guys were awesome and helped make our reception so much fun. Thank you again for all your hard work and helping us put everything together.

Overall performance was EXCELLENT. The event went spectacularly, thank you. I loved Michelle. She has a great voice and a great song selection. It was a great fit for us. Thanks again.

The A-Band was absolutely amazing! The dance floor was packed all night. We received an unbelievable number of compliments on the band from our guests. They exceeded all of our expectations!

The music made the evening perfect from dinner music to dance. Our guest couldn’t say enough wonderful thing about the band. I would definetly use them again.

Eric made sure everything was smooth and played the right music to get everyone dancing!!

Scott Jones is the best DJ I’ve seen in years.

Eric knew exactly what we wanted from aisle music to dancing music and everything in-between. He helped us figure out songs when we were at a loss as well. He’s a great guy!

I knew we were in good hands from the beginning. We were so happy that you were part of our night. I am so proud to work for a company like JBP and got to experience the services first hand from the other side. Steph was thrilled with how everything turned out, and I know many people were thrilled with the party. People who weren’t even there have commented on how they heard we had the wedding of the year. Lots of positive feedback on the up lighting and GOBO on how it changed the venue’s appearance. You guys did an awesome job! We had all star vendors! Nice work!

Bill was excellent, so professional and personable. He really made the reception a Party!

The most entertaining band I have seen in a long time. Easy to work with and fulfilled every wish we asked. Two weeks later and everyone is still talking about them. The dance floor was packed for all four hours. Would use them again in a heart beat!!! Thanks so much for making our night very special.

Bill and his assistant were fantastic!!! I was worried about having a ‘cheesy DJ’ at my wedding but Bill put my mind at ease from the beginning of the night. The music was great, he got everyone up and dancing, old and young alike. He kept the event moving along nicely and even made a CD for us of our special songs from that evening. The icing on the cake (no pun intended) was when Bill was pouring wine for guests in their seats when the servers got backed up. I really could not have asked for a better DJ and would tell anyone who is considering him to definitely do it. You will not be disappointed.

The band did a great job on keeping the guests dancing and entertained throughout the evening.

From beginning to end, the music at our wedding was PERFECT! We were lucky enough to have  Appassionata Strings  for the ceremony and The Orchestra for the reception! Everyone had a blast and it was no doubt due to the fabulous music. Thank you!!!

From beginning to end, the music at our wedding was PERFECT! We were lucky enough to have Appassionata Strings for the ceremony, Cliff Habian for the cocktail hour, and The Orchestra for the reception! Everyone had a blast and it was no doubt due to the fabulous music. Thank you Jerry Bruno Productions!!!

They were simply outstanding and the MC did a wonderful job. We truly believe that having a live band added so much depth to Sarah and Jon’s wedding. Thank you so much for all your help.

Scott was amazing!!! He was so organized, played all of our last minute requests, was a pleasure to work with, everything was just perfect!

I wish we had started the band earlier and bought out their breaks! They were fabulous and we can’t thank them enough.

The Avenue did an outstanding job for us at our daughter’s wedding. They had everyone up dancing and we got many compliments on the band from our guests.

We’ve booked with this company on numerous occasions, and each time they have proved to be professional, dependable, thoroughly entertaining. Highly recommend for any type of event!

My husband and I are so grateful for the A Band’s service and incredible talent! We had a terrific time and everyone is still talking (and will be for awhile) about how awesome the band was. They set the mood for us and were flexible, friendly and so much fun throughout the night. I had no worries about everything and was able to enjoy every second (which is the absolute best scenario for a bride)! Also, they handled a very last minute change on the introductions, which was invaluable for me. I highly recommend the A Band to all bride and grooms, or any event. They are extremely talented, a ton of fun and worth every penny.

I can’t adequately describe the level of professionalism, follow through, kindness, friendliness, and sheer knowledge Scott demonstrated when it came to planning not only our music, but our entire reception and even parts of the ceremony. I’ve already decided that I’m going to book Scott if we ever renew our vows in 10 years. He was the perfect choice for our wedding without a doubt!!

Matthew, thanks so much for bringing the music to our cocktail hour! You’ve made our special day even more special!

This is our second round with The Avenue. We were very pleased and our guests never stop raving about the band. I highly recommend them. They added the finishing touch to our wedding.

Thanks again for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding. You have a great voice! You and Tony were great to work with! You really made our reception special. We look forward to staying in touch.

The Orchestra was absolutely fantastic! The dance floor was packed the entire night and guests raved about the band throughout the evening! I recommend them with all of my heart!!

Private Event jazz ensemble was a big hit at our corporate reception. They were prompt, professional, and provided the perfect sound for our event.

We asked you for a DJ that could turn our reception into the hottest nightclub in Cleveland and that is exactly what Herby Loftin (DJ Smoov) did! My wedding was the 8th one I have attended this year. None of the other 7 have had DJs with the same skill, class or presence Herby brought to our wedding. I can not tell you how pleased Kelley and I are with every aspect of Herby’s planning, conduct and performance. He truly went above and beyond our best expectations.

Larry was a perfect fit for our party. He did a great job and was so friendly and pleasant to work with.

The DJs were fantastic. They did a great job of getting our requests in quickly and played music that got people on the dance floor. Thanks for a great job and we will definitely keep you in mind for future events.

The Orchestra was AMAZING! Better than we could have ever imagined! Everyone had a ball! We have heard many bands at many weddings across the US and none compare to The Orchestra!

The highlight of my daughter’s wedding ceremony was the music sung by Catherine and Jason Klueber. Nearly everyone attending told me they were moved by their performances and wished they could hear more! Many asked where and how I found such wonderful singers. I’m so grateful to have had them there for this most beautiful and memorable addition to the ceremony.

The ‘A Band’ exceeded our expectations (which were very high to begin with) and made the night extremely memorable. Each of the performers are extremely talented and are leaders at what they do. Needless to say, we and our guests had an absolute blast. We would recommend the band to anyone looking to add class, elegance, and fun to their engagement.

This band was fantastic! They kept the dance floor hopping and the enthusiasm and energy level high for 4 straight hours. We couldn’t have had the magical night we did without them. Thank you!

The Rocket Men were hands down the greatest wedding act we ever could have imagined. They suited our needs perfectly. Our guests raved about them, and we were wowed by both their talent and professionalism. I can’t thank Jon Blair and the rest of the band enough for such a fantastic night. We would absolutely hire them again!

We are beyond happy to have chosen Geoff as our DJ for the biggest night of our lives. He was so great and personable to work with. He had great suggestions for the night that we would never have thought of, but made the night flow without a hitch. We have had so many guests compliment Geoff, his professionalism, and apparent love for his job. His passion showed in his work throughout the evening to make our wedding reception a night that both us as bride and groom, as well as all of our guests will never forget.

Rossi and Romano were fabulous! They sounded beautiful and they were extremely professional. They did a great job learning about us and then playing the music that best suited our event. We loved having them at our event and they made it that much more special.

If you are looking to have the perfect wedding reception include The Avenue!

The Avenue made it an amazing evening! They were everything I hoped for and more.

TCB was absolutely wonderful, they kept the guests dancing all night long!! I couldn’t have hoped for a better performance, thanks so much!!

Tony and his band were amazing! They had all of our guests on the dance floor all night long. They are truly one amazing band. I would recommend them to others. Thank you so much for everything!

The Avenue absolutely rocked out at our wedding reception from start to finish. The dance floor was packed from 8:30 until 12:30, and I can’t even count how many people commented on how great the band was in the weeks following.

The Orchestra is truly a class act! We had The Orchestra in 2011 for our daughter’s wedding and were thrilled they were available for our daughter’s wedding in 2012. Once again they had our friends and family on the dance floor the entire night! We have had so many compliments from everyone on the band. We even had the grandparents out dancing and they are all over 80 years old! I just cannot say enough about how professional this band is. It is evident that they love singing and entertaining. I hope they are still together and singing when daughter #3 gets married! As I will hire them once again!

One of the guests described the evening as magical…

The FasTrack Band was wonderful! All the members were professional, courteous, and engaged throughout the entire night. We had a diverse group of guests and everyone loved the music played! They were able to get people up and dancing throughout the evening! I would recommend this group to anyone!

People wouldn’t leave the dance floor!

Thanks to Brian for making our party unforgettable. The music was great. Everyone danced and had a great time. Guests even asked for his name for future parties. I appreciate his flexibility, as the weather changed the dance floor plans at the last minute. Thanks again!

Everyone had a wonderful time. The dance floor was packed all night long. The music made for a very memorable evening.

We just wanted to thank you for making our wedding and reception such a success!! It would not been as much fun without you!!! It’s too bad we can’t get married more often.

The Avenue was simply outstanding. Planning a wedding involves a lot of moving parts, and you hope that it all comes together at the right place and time. The Avenue was everything that we had envisioned and hoped for. Terrific group of talented musicians and singers.

This is the BEST wedding dance band we have had the pleasure to hearing. They kept the party going and people up and dancing. They had a blend of music that suited every age group at the wedding. We very highly recommend them.

The Avenue did a tremendous job at our daughter’s wedding. We received many compliments from our guests. Very professional group, we will definitely refer them. Thank you for making my daughter’s wedding so special!

The reception for my son’s wedding was the most fun and had the greatest music. Scott was very friendly and warm and mixed well with the guests. I would never hesitate to have Jerry Bruno Productions for another affair.

Nothing beats having a live band play at your wedding and Bottom Line truly exceeded my expectations. No matter what age my guests were they were out on the dance floor having the time of their life. Bottom LIne has exceptional musical talent and knows how to keep a party rocking!

Bill was great! The dance floor was full the entire night, everyone loved the music.

Carey Viton played beautifully at our wedding ceremony. He played all the music we asked for perfectly. We could not have asked for a better pianist. Thank you so much!!

Our requests included difficult, iconic pieces from the greatest composers. Sonata Strings played them impeccably. It was beautiful to hear our favorite works wafting through the church throughout the ceremony just as we had dreamed.

The Avenue were outstanding and made the wedding even more special than we thought. We saw the band at the MetroHealth benefit and the Cleveland Zoo event–In my opinion they are the best band in the Cleveland area, hands down! Thanks so much for making Andrew’s and Caitlin’s wedding a very special evening!

Absolutely outstanding from beginning to end! Such a pleasure to work with Dwayne Dickman. What a party!

We liked him the first time we met him. He listened to my daughters requests and knew exactly what type of music she wanted. He went beyond our expectations.

The dance floor was full all night. Nobody wanted the wedding to end.

The Avenue was fabulous! Music was great for all ages. The only problem was that we should have gotten a bigger dance floor because everybody danced all night!

We loved working with Scott Jones and his team! Everything about the evening was perfect and he played all of our requests. He also did an excellent job of keeping things flowing in a timely manner. He truly is the best DJ in Cleveland and we were VERY lucky to have him DJ at our wedding! THANK YOU SCOTT!

We loved the band, as did everyone at our party. The music appealed to all ages and the dance floor was packed from the beginning to the very end. I will not hesitate to recommend the band because they made our daughter’s reception the perfect night.

Geoff Short was able to get members of both sides of our families to dance, even those who we never thought would leave their chairs.

This was a black tie masquerade 70th birthday party. Dwayne and the entire Orchestra were fabulous. Our quests are still talking about the music – the music and friends made the party. Thank you!

FasTrack’s performance was sheer perfection. Each member of the band is extremely talented and together they created an exciting and upbeat atmosphere. FasTrack provided enjoyment to all the guests and was a wonderful addition to our wedding reception. It was an evening of dancing and so much fun!

Xiao Lei was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could tell she genuinely liked the requested music I sent to her and did very well to email me samples of the music well before my wedding. I highly recommend her.

DJ Mike Alexander was amazing! He kept everyone both young and old on the dance floor all night by playing a great mix of music. As the bride, I kept waiting for a bad song so I could go to the bathroom or take a break and the bad song never came. I was literally on the dance floor all night long. He played hit after hit! Also, he did a great job at pronouncing everyone’s names in the bridal party, which is always appreciated. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

The Orchestra took the worry out of our hands and put the fun on the dance floor at our wedding! The entire evening was flawless.

The Bottom Line Band was absolutely amazing to work with. Not only were they extremely talented, but they were a joy to work with: polite, professional, and very accommodating. The guests at our wedding are still talking about how amazing they were. I would highly recommend this band for anyone looking for high quality live entertainment.

Michael was outstanding!! He gave us such great advice and he supported us through the whole event!! He truly could not have been more perfect!!

FasTrack’s performance at our wedding was nothing less than spectacular! A large number of our guests made comments on how great the band sounded, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. I know we made the right decision, and we look forward to seeing them perform again!

UNBELIEVABLE! The Bottom Line Band was beyond amazing for our wedding! They were wonderful prior to the day with communication and so easy to work with. The wedding day itself was 104-degrees outside, and of course our reception was outside! They were stellar and never once slowed down, complained or even broke a sweat?! I don’t know how they did it. Professional to the core…and even a month later I’m still getting compliments from friends and family! THANK YOU to each and every band member, especially Stan who was quite possibly the best emcee I’ve ever worked with (and I’m a former radio DJ, so I’ve worked with lots!) And thank you Jerry Bruno productions, it was a pleasure to work with you.

The A-Band was amazing…. All the guests were getting out on the dance floor and having a great time. They sounded so good, people were saying that they couldn’t tell when they played DJ’d music when they were on break because they sounded so much like the original artists! Could not have asked for a more awesome band!!

Dwayne was an awesome band leader with a great personality. The A Band had a ton of energy and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! Thank you for being a special part of our wedding!

Herby was so wonderful, a lot of my out of state guests said they wished he traveled!

Collage was amazing! They rocked it out at our wedding, and played all our favorites. Friends and family continue to comment on the quality and song selection of the band. We had a fantastic night and can’t thank Collage enough for their phenomenal performance! Loved the band and would highly recommend [Cleveland Music Group] and Collage.

Pete Cavano was an amazing guitarist! He made our wedding even more special than we could have imagined!

Exceptionally well organized group who maintained a professional yet fun approach to the event. All of our guests raved about the band’s performance.

DJ Arthur Schmidt exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did he DJ and MC our reception, but he also did a wonderful job with providing the music for our ceremony. He and his assistant were able to maneuver the equipment from the ceremony site to the reception site (reception immediately following) with no problem. He was always incredibly prepared, organized, easy to work with and certainly knew his music. Our wedding day ran smoothly thanks to him. He was more than willing to hear what we wanted and when we were unsure, he had plenty of suggestions for us. Though our wedding was in the Cleveland area, we live in Cincinnati. Arthur was flexible and available to meet with us so the distance was not an issue at all. Everyone danced and had a wonderful time at our wedding… thanks again Arthur! We appreciate everything that Jerry Bruno productions has done for us!

DJ Judi Chevrolet was outstanding! Totally made this event a memory we will cherish forever! Super energy and totally could tell she loves what she does.

Judy Chevrolet was outstanding! Totally made this event a memory we will cherish forever! Super energy and totally could tell she loves what she does.

The Sapphire Duo’s violin + cello music was the perfect touch for our romantic outdoor wedding. DJ DC (Dan Cormier) did a great job hosting the reception party as both DJ and emcee. He took great care to properly pronounce everyone’s name, and with my family that is no easy task!

Mary Beth Ions is personable, energetic and talented. What a combination in an entertainer!

The Orchestra exceeded our expectations in every way! We can say without hesitation that they made our wedding reception special for everyone! We literally could not pull our guests off the dance floor at the end of the evening. We would recommend this band to anyone as they dazzled our guests of all ages! It is no wonder we have already booked them for another family wedding next summer!

Very talented group….our alumni gave us great feedback! Thank you!

From start to finish, everything was absolutely outstanding. DJ Mike Alexander and his assistant were amazing and very professional. They played basically all of the songs that my husband and I had requested prior to the wedding as well as all of the requests from guests at the wedding. They kept everything running smoothly the entire night and played a great variety of music that appealed to all ages. The dance floor was packed the whole entire night and everyone had an awesome time. I would highly recommend Jerry Bruno Productions and especially Mike Alexander to any bride or groom that wants to have a fun and exciting wedding. All of our guests raved about the DJ that we had at our wedding and informed us of how great of a night they all had. Also, the GOBO looked awesome on the dance floor! Thanks for everything DJ Mike Alexander and your assistant!

We were very pleased with Laura and the band. She is beautiful, elegant and very professional. The music was wonderful. I honestly have to say that unfortunately I had a horrible experience in working with services in just about every other aspect of planning the wedding. But working with your agency and with Laura was an absolute pleasure.

Many of our guests expressed their enjoyment of the music, which pleased those in their 80’s as well as those in their 20’s.

Definitely awesome! Especially Laura!

Laura Varcho and her band were exquisite! They helped make our event such a success. We got so many complements on the selection of music and their skills as performers and musicians. Thanks again!

From start to finish, Rick did a great job of running the reception. He kept things moving along and really made sure everyone was having a blast. The band sounded great and made sure to play all of our favorite songs. We have gotten tons of comments from our wedding guests that they loved the band and it was evident from the start, because that dance floor was packed for almost the entire night, with people of every age! Thank you so much to the band for a wonderful night! We couldn’t have imagined it being any better.

The only complaint we had from our guests was sore feet the next day….because every person was dancing all night! All music was all that we envisioned and more. Cary’s piano was the perfect complement to the glamour of the Ritz, and I can’t say enough about the Bottom Line Band! My husband and I felt a little guilty for not going table to table after dinner to visit with guests, but there was NO ONE sitting at the tables because they were all up dancing. The vocal talents and the musicianship were incomparable!

From the first phone call requesting a DJ and string quartet for our wedding to the end of our wedding night, working with Jerry Bruno Productions and our selected vendors ( DJ Michael Alexander and Appassionata Strings) was a pleasure. We planned our wedding long distance and Jerry Bruno Productions made the whole process seamless. We’ve already had requests from some of the guests for the names of our DJ and strings so they can use them in other events.

The Avenue was the life of the party and kept the dance floor packed! If anything went wrong, nobody knew it. We got all kinds of compliments on how much fun the band was. Thank you for making our day smooth, special, and a blast!

The mother of the bride said that Scott was by far her favorite attendee at the wedding! What about the bride and groom???

This band has a great mix of songs. Rick and the Cutting Edge got us on the dance floor and kept us there. Several guests said this was the best wedding band they had ever heard.

Awesome band. Music selection was fantastic and they were engaging. Everyone commented on the band and thought they were great.

Laura Varcho & Company set the perfect tone for the University Hospitals’ ‘Awakenings’ event—stylish and entertaining, led by Laura’s fine voice and classy delivery.

Arthur was extremely kind and professional. The music was fantastic and everyone from age 5 to 85 enjoyed it.

The Orchestra was such an amazing band- they are acoustically and vocally wonderful, have a great ability to read the mood of the crowd, great song selections, the band leader was extremely helpful, organized and energetic. Highly recommend them, wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to play at our wedding.

Dan was an excellent DJ and was punctual, professional, and very energetic. He did a fantastic job and I highly recommend him for your event.

Pete was accommodating and met our requests for our ceremony music. He is a fantastic musician! Our guests had nothing but wonderful compliments!

RadioActive Band was everything we hoped they would be. They were the life of the party that night and several people commented afterwards how great they were, and asked for a contact number to book them for their own events. Jon and his band members went out of their way to accommodate us. Jerry Bruno Productions was extremely professional and made the booking process easy. We can’t thank them enough!

Matt was awesome. The guests and I were on the dance floor the majority of the time. The music selection was very good and upbeat. A lot of my friends and family said that was one of the best weddings they were ever at. I thank Matt Gadzak and staff for making our wedding very special and memorable.

They were great, the sound and the choice of music kept everyone dancing all night long. They definitely added to the success of the wedding.

Geoff kept the dance floor packed all night! I could not have asked for more! I also LOVED the CD that he gave us at the end of the night. Thanks for making our wedding very memorable!

We were pleased by every aspect of The Orchestra’s performance. It was especially helpful to have had numerous conversations prior to the event to discuss the agenda for the evening. The plan and its execution were flawless.

I have had several people text me the week after the party and say it was the best party they were ever at in their entire life. People make the party; music keeps them moving. Thank you.

We would like to thank The Avenue for playing at our son and daughter in laws wedding at Westwood Country Club on New Years Eve. So many of our guests came up to us at the wedding or called the next day and said that it was the best wedding, the best New Years Eve, and the best band that they have ever heard at a wedding. Every aspect of working with the band was excellent. The band leader provided great guidance that made the flow of the evening work perfectly. The dance floor was filled from the first dance to the last dance at 1:00 am. You guys are the best and we hope you’re around for our three other kids’ weddings.

We found it impossible to describe how amazing The Orchestra was!!! We could not believe we had the good fortune to book the Orchestra for a Saturday NYE wedding. From the minute they started they completely rocked our wedding!!! Before dinner was served people were on the dance floor! Dwayne and the rest of the band were just so wonderful to work with. Words cannot describe how pleased we were to have had them on our special day!

Larry did an outstanding job, excellent music, very professional, a good time was had by all! Thank you.

DJ Larry did an outstanding job, excellent music, very professional, a good time was had by all! Thank you.

Duane’s bag piping was exceptional! I would recommend him to anyone hands down!!!

[Cleveland Music Group] made finding a band simple. They recommended five bands, which then helped me to narrow down the one that would fit best for our event. The band was amazing and everyone truly appreciated them.

Scott is very positive and upbeat- very professional and fun! We really enjoyed having him as our dj. He was helpful with coordinating when our event ran late and off task. Duane’s bag piping was exceptional! I would recommend them to anyone hands down!!!

Adam did a great job! People were not only happy with the product, but watching the drawing process as well.

Rick and the Cutting Edge was fantastic in every way! They exceeded our high expectations! Rick was fabulous to work with! He met with us beforehand to work out some details and he was accomodating on all requests. I think the best thing about him and the entire band, really, was everyone of them was OVERLY nice and sweet. I felt like the band were friends of ours.

After having a horrible DJ experience in the past I was nervous at first – but Bob and Rocco have been AWESOME. I have used them twice now and will definitely come back again!

The Avenue Band was excellent! Our guests really enjoyed the entertainment. Thanks so much for your part in making it one of our most enjoyable holiday parties ever!

The ‘Best Choice DJ Program’ was perfect for our small reception. Our DJ, Dan , was great and very professional. We would highly recommend.

One of our friends commented that he was going to ‘Get married again so that he can have this band at his wedding!’ The Jon Blair Quartet and Radioactive were professional and a pleasure to work with. The dance floor was full the entire night, which was just what we wanted!

The ‘Best Choice DJ Program’ was perfect for our small reception. Dan, our DJ, was great and very professional. We would highly recommend Jerry Bruno Productions.

The Orchestra hits every note! Professionalism, incredible talent, wonderful energy, and superb attention to their clients’ requests. You don’t need a New York band, people… you need The Orchestra! The musicians and vocalists were incredible performers! Both young and older did not leave the dance floor. The music had heart, soul and a serious groove… what more could you ask for?

Start to finish, our wedding day was fantastic. Weather, food, venue, etc were perfect. It’s hard to believe that the music could raise the level of how great this wedding was. But without RadioActive, we would not have had such an EPIC night. It was truly a highlight of an amazing day.

The Orchestra was over the top, truly rocking & working hard and our guests never sat down or stopped having a great time. The reception ended at 1 am and our guests stayed in the Lobby lounge talking about the wedding until 3 am, and repeated again at the Sunday morning brunch. Truly a lasting memory, made special by all the talented musicians in the group. Sincere thanks to all of you. Let’s do it again and again and again!

Tommy Dwyer was amazing. He went well about our expectations to make sure that all of our guest had a great time. We couldnt have asked for a better DJ. We have received so many compliments about Tommy and the music during our wedding. Thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful DJ to make our wedding so special. Everyone had a blast!

Scott was wonderful, attentive, and kept my group dancin’ the night away. Would highly recommend.

Tommy Dwyer was excellent – he knew exactly how to read our crowd and played the music accordingly. The dance floor was packed from start to finish. It was extremely important to us that our friends had great music to dance and celebrate to the entire night. He hit the nail on the head!

DJ DC did a great job! Everyone loved the music. Bravo!

Absolutely phenomenal! We booked Radio Active for our wedding with high expectations and they absolutely blew us away. We seriously could not have asked for a more perfect band for our special day. The dance floor was packed from the very first song until the very last song. We really could not be happier with the band’s performance and have them to thank for the high energy in the crowd. Guests were asking all night long where we found the band and the next day people were still talking about the amazing music from the night.

Jose was an AWESOME DJ. He played everything we wanted and listened to us. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

The bands were amazing. Our guests could not believe how talented and fun they were. The dance floor was packed all night.

The Band was fabulous! Thank you.

The Avenue was wonderful- everyone had a great time dancing and everyone complimented me on how great they were!

Music is one of the most important parts of a reception and R.A.C.E did an awesome job keeping everyone dancing. We had a great time. This band is great and sounds amazing!! Thank you for making our night perfect!

We were thrilled with TCB, they made our wedding day absolutely perfect! The most important thing for us was for everyone at the wedding to have a great time, which to us meant everyone out on the dance floor dancing to a great band. TCB made this happen and exceeded our expectations. Everyone told us, and keeps telling us how amazing they were and we will recommend them to everyone! Thank you!

From start to finish, Bill and Paul were professionals in every way. The dance floor was covered with all ages all night! Appropriate music without all the cliches and typical wedding music. Thanks for being a huge part of my daughter’s special day.

Jerry Bruno Productions helped make our wedding amazing! The band was great-helped create the mood we wanted for our cocktail hour. DJ Mike Alexander is beyond fabulous! He was our favorite person to work with during our planning process. He made the night special by playing great music, getting people on the dance floor, and keeping up with the schedule of time. Overall, I would 100% recommend Jerry Bruno Productions in the future!

We hired the 9-piece Orchestra and were beyond satisfied! The band was accommodating, letting the groom and friends play on their instruments and sticking to the requests of the bride & groom. All band members were extremely talented, professional and fun. Dwayne was an especially attentive, fun and classy emcee! The sound guy Shawn was a great DJ when the band was on breaks, playing things we put on an iPod for him, but always choosing songs that seemed to fit the mood.

You helped make our wedding amazing! The band was great-helped create the mood we wanted for our cocktail hour. DJ Mike Alexander is beyond fabulous! He was our favorite person to work with during our planning process. Overall, I would 100% recommend you in the future!

Pete & Michele (violin) were not only talented musicians, but were extremely courteous & professional. Their contribution to our owners daughter’s wedding was the perfect touch to the perfect event – I would recommend Pete & Michele to not only my brides, but my Corporate convention clients as well! Thank you for performing the most beautiful music to the a beautiful wedding!

Scott was attentive and polite and kept things on schedule. The dance floor was packed all night. Everyone had a blast. I would recommend Scott E. Jones to anyone planning their wedding reception!

The staff at the officewas so easy to work with and I can’t say enough good things about the steel drummer Wilber. Everyone at our Block Party enjoyed his music. We would love to have him back next year and would highly recommend him.

Michael Alexander helped make our wedding day perfect!! He took time to learn what kind of music we like and played exactly what we had pictured for our wedding reception! The dance floor was packed the entire night and he was willing to stay till 1am when the party was still going strong!!

Kept us dancing!

The Rockin Ravers were great! They kept people on the dance floor and played everything requested!! They interacted with the crowd and kept the dancing moving. Very professional and our guests still talk about how great the band was at our wedding.

All the guest commented on how great the music was!

The Dallas Coffey Duo played for my father’s 90th birthday party. It was low-key and hip and they played ‘My Buddy,’ a song my mother used to sing, at my request. They were professional and very cool, enjoyed by all…

From ceremony music, to the cocktail hour and reception all artists exceeded expectations and made our wedding absolutely perfect!!!

If you want your party to be great, hire the Bottom Line. Stanley and his amazing band made our wedding a smash success. They are magnificent musicians, kind people, and if you do hire them, please invite me to your party. It’s the least you can do.

Jose Cedeno was great to work with for our wedding. Jose also speaks fluent Spanish which was very helpful for our out of country guests. He was classy, fun and friendly and I would highly recommend him. Everyone had a great time.

Outstanding duo…fit right in at Severance Hall!

The Sonata Strings Trio did a fantastic job at our wedding. The guests at the ceremony raved about the music and overall experience because of the music. I would recommend this to anyone planning a wedding. Very much worth the cost. They were very patient with me taking care of the balance despite me running around doing other things. It was a blast and I must say the String Trio played a big part in that. Thanks again.

We are so happy we chose Scott as our wedding DJ. He was professional and kept things running so smoothly. So many of our guests have been letting us know what a great time they had and I believe Scott was a big reason for this. We wish we could do it all over again! Thank you so much, Scott.

Ilya was great! I would definitely book him again for future events.

We have used Phil Talbot and the Travlin’ Johnsons twice and both times they have exceeded our expectations. We love them and can’t wait till our next event.

‘If the neighbors complain about the music being too loud, I view that as a good party!’ Actually — everything was perfect!!

Scott was the best DJ we could have asked for. The night was amazing!

Both Mike Palumbo (DJ) and Virginia Dickson (Harpist) were excellent. We are so glad that we chose you for our daughter’s wedding!!

Couldn’t ask for more in our DJ. Made the night a good one, and everybody involved had a great time.

Bill Bowen was great! Prior to our wedding Bill did a tremendous job helping us plan the overall order and flow of our wedding and choosing the music to accompany the night’s events. During our wedding, Bill and his assistant coordinated everything as we planned so we were able to enjoy the night. All of our guests had a great time and the dance floor was never empty. We would absolutely recommend Bill for your wedding or event.

Everything surpassed our expectations. The attention to detail was excellent…advice was given on the order of reception events, bridal party names were pronounced correctly, all the right music was played, and our guests danced all night long! Thank you!

Thank you so much to Cleveland Music Group and The Avenue band for helping to make our wedding unforgettable! From the time we came to the office to decide what we would book, everyone was very helpful and nice. Our reception was awesome and the dance floor stayed packed the whole night…we wish we would have paid for extra 🙂 Our family and friends are still talking abuot how great everything was- band included! Thanks again!

Scott Jones rocks!! If we were to pick a DJ all over again, we’d definitely use Scott! Thanks, Jerry Bruno Productions!!

AKA set the perfect Rock and Roll atmosphere we were looking for without being a ‘dance band.’ They have an amazing breadth of songs – and the pipes on these guys – WOW. It exceeded my expectations.

A good number of our guests called the event by far the best wedding that they had ever been a part of. The band was awesome – please pass on our sincere gratitude to all of the members of Storyville. Thanks!

Matt helped to set the mood of our wedding’s cocktail hour with high quality and professional service.

You know it’s a great band when no one wants to leave the dance floor. Radioactive band is very talented and amazing. Jon Blair is fantastic and very flexible and professional. I would recommend this group to anyone who is planning a fun wedding reception!

Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did at my daughter’s wedding at the Hyatt Old Arcade. I know the size and layout of the venue provided challenges but you handled these challenges masterfully. Your number one task – keeping people on the dance floor – was quite successful as evidenced by the photos and the chants ‘One More Set, One More Set!’ which occurred after your final song. Emily and Jeff could not have been happier! Thank you for making their reception so much fun!!!

Scott Jones played all the best musc and really knew how to get the party rockin’. You’re crazy if you don’t book Scott Jones.

Matt was excellent – he was professional and friendly and our guests really enjoyed his music. Thanks for a great event!

So many guests told us that the band, their engagement with the audience, and the quality of the music made the night a terrific celebration!

From dinner to dancing Rick and the Cutting Edge provided a fantastic time for our guests. We had so many compliments, from our guests, that they brought so much fun to the evening!

I truly enjoyed having The Bottom Line be a part of my wedding day! I spoke to Norm multiple times leading up to the wedding and he was wonderful and helped with every question I had. Then I spoke to Stan who was just as wonderful right before the event. I have had great feed back from my friends and family about the band. I also have to mention, Stan’s smile and joy while performing is contagious! I just wish the night could have lasted longer! I loved having The Bottom Line play at my wedding reception…I highly recommend them!

Wilber was a great addition to our Guitars and Tiki Bars event. His music was PERFECT for our event. I would defintiely hire him again!

Jon Blair Quartet and RadioActive were both absolutely outstanding for our wedding — They kept the crowd dancing, singing, and having an all around great time for the entire evening. So many of our guests came up to us to comment on how wonderful the music was and how much fun they had! I would recommend either band for any event in a heartbeat!

Arthur did a great job DJing our wedding! He was receptive to our ideas and helped us fill in the parts we werent sure of. He did a great job with our introductions. We got to pick a song for each member of our bridal party that was played while a short introduction that wed written was read. He also did a great job of responding to the guests during the evening. He played a lot of things on our play list, while really helping to create some memorable moments with other things that he picked throughout the night. My husband and I are both music teachers and we were nervous about hiring a DJ, but Arthur did a really nice job!

DJ DC was awesome! His attention to detail and professionalism set a theme for the night. He met a perfect balance of running the show but not stealing the spotlight. The guests loved him so much; he helped us throw a phenomenal party. We can’t say enough about DC!

The Avenue is an amazing group. Their talent kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. Thank you for making our daughter’s wedding extra special. It has been a pleasure working with Cleveland Music Group. From our first meeting to the time the band packed up, everyone was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We will recommend your agency to all of our friends and family. THANK YOU!

I’m glad that we chose Jerry Bruno Productions to provide the music for my ceremony and reception. We had the String Trio for our ceremony and Mary Beth chose beautiful and appropriate music for every part of the ceremony. Our guests were commenting on how much they loved the ceremony music well into the reception. Mary Beth also contacted us before the event to make sure that we were happy with the music she had picked for our ceremony.

I’m glad that we chose Jerry Bruno Productions to provide the music for my ceremony and reception. For the reception we chose Bill Bowen as our DJ. He was great at working out details with us before the event and communicating with us the night of our wedding. He kept the music at the perfect volume and was easy-going about guests approaching with music requests.

Having a string quartet brought so much extra beauty and peace to our big day. People commented on how soothing and also happy our wedding music was. The strings truly added extra elegance to our special day.

Scott Jones is one of the best DJs in Cleveland! Our experience working with him was fantastic from start to finish! A big thanks to him for making our wedding day so memorable.

If you are looking for live music that will keep the dance floor crowded during your wedding, book The Orchestra. People never wanted to sit down! People are consistently coming up to us and talking about the fun they had and how wonderful the music was!

Scott Jones did an AMAZING job! Everything was just PERFECT!! We could not have asked for a better DJ!! It was above and beyond what we expected. Everyone remembers the music and this was a great night for everyone of all ages! We were so glad we chose Scott to be a part of our special day. He really made great memories for us for a lifetime! I would have to say this was one of my best decisions in the wedding planning process. I cannot express enough that everything went so absolutely perfect! Thank you Scott!!

This band was AMAZING at our wedding!! They kept the floor moving all night with songs that everyone could dance to. Guests are still talking about how great they were. They definitely made our wedding a great party!

The dance floor was packed all evening.

The music at our ceremony was one of my favorite parts of the day. I could not wait to receive our wedding video so that I could hear it again. We received such wonderful feedback from our guests as well.

FasTrack was the perfect fit for our corporate event. They really entertained the crowd the entire evening, and we couldn’t have asked for a more energetic, talented and fun group of artists!

Guests really enjoyed the band, appealed to the wide age range of the guests.

From the first email through the wedding ceremony itself, everyone at JBP was fantastic to work with. I had a few odd requests for wedding music, and they turned out better than I could have asked for! I received so many complements from guests. Wonderful job! Thank you!!

We would like to thank the entire staff and the band for a job well done. The entire staff made our special day that more special.

DJ Scott Jones kept the party going all night long with excellent song choices for all ages. Every guest there said the music was fantastic and that this was the best reception they had ever been to. Thank you so much for a perfect night!

The Avenue did an incredible job at our wedding. The band actually arranged and learned two new songs specifically for us, which showed an extremely high level of service and dedication to the client. Most of our guests were musicians and were very impressed with the quality of the band.

The band did a wonderful job of keeping the energy up and people on the dance floor.

The Sonata Strings exceeded my expectations. Bill was easy to work with to plan the ceremony music. It was definitely one thing I didnt have to worry about on my wedding day because I knew they had it handled. Thank you!

The Avenue was so much fun. They played great music all night long and kept everyone dancing. Thank you!

Mike Alexander was the perfect DJ. From his entertaining to the music everything was professional. He was also so accomodating and offered advice when we needed it.

Scott made our wedding everything we could have asked for! Our friends and family had more fun than ever dancing the night away to the AMAZING choices in music Scott made!

‘The Orchestra’ made our daughter’s wedding day exceptional!!! They were just phenomenal and had the dance floor full for the entire wedding reception! We had so many compliments on the band and if we ever have another event in our family-we will be booking them! Thank you again-to the company and all of the band members-you are truly a class act!

Our daughter and her fiance’ chose the Orchestra for their wedding reception. From our first meeting, everyone was professional and very accommodating. On the day of the reception, they arrived on time, started on time and were FABULOUS!!! Our guests were on the dance floor all night. We saw friends and family members dancing who never dance at weddings! The band exceeded our expectations! Jessica and Devin were thrilled with the band.

I had so many people come up to me throughout the reception saying ‘this band is fabulous!’ Everyone was on the dance floor, which was a testament to the band! Thank you so much for making my day so special!

The Backstreet DJs have been playing my family weddings for many years. Every wedding, they have done an outstanding job. I love all the music that is played and they can keep a crowd dancing. Thank You Backstreet DJs for making my wedding day extra special and perfect.

If any bride is worried about finding a great DJ, they need to book MATT GAZDAK! The music and dancing at our wedding was one thing I was worried about, but Matt handled the music selections wonderfully. He played everything we wanted to have played, and selected songs that had EVERYONE out on the dance floor. I was so pleased with how Matt and his partner handled themselves. They were polite, courteous, and very accommodating to everything we needed.

Everyone was very accommodating and took care of all our requests. The band sounded great, helping create an amazing evening. We knew our guests had a wonderful time when we saw so many people still dancing to the break-down music after the band had finished!

No fewer than 50 people came up to me – throughout the evening – and told me how much the Bottom Line Band made our wedding. Just a phenomenal band from top to bottom. Kept everyone dancing all night. Terrific.

Absolutely outstanding entertainment and made our party a total delight for all my family and guests. I will use Jerry Bruno Productions in the future — for personal and business entertaining. You are the real deal in entertainment.”

This band was fantastic! They kept up a good energy throughout the entire night, and played songs that got couples of every generation dancing. Thank you, Rick and the Cutting Edge for an amazing evening of music and fun. From one musician to another, ROCK ON!

The Avenue was AWESOME!!!! They really made the party and we could not have been happier! I highly recommend them.

We were impressed! Matt exceeded our expectations. He was able to mix and play foreign music (at our request) in a language that he is not used to and did it with excellence. I am so happy we have chosen him.

The string quartet turned our wedding ceremony into such a magical moment. They sounded beautiful! We had so many compliments on what an amazing ceremony we had, thanks to them.

DJs make or break a wedding and DJ Mike Alexander made our wedding! Mike and his assistant were amazing! They were so professional and played a great mix of music (including everything on our ‘play’ list). The dance floor was packed all night. We had people dancing that never dance at weddings! We highly recommend Mike – you won’t be disappointed!

Tony and the band were fantastic! They were flexible with the timing of events throughout the night. Tony C and his group had people of all ages out on the dance floor all night long!

The dj was excellent. Kept everyone on the dance floor. We had everyone telling us for the past week how much they enjoyed the wedding and our djs. Thank you do much for making our day special. Also for finding our first dance sing.

We continue to get compliments on our band selection. Everyone keeps raving about their quality and enthusiasm. The Orchestra is a must have for a top notch night where everyone can be found on the dance floor. Thank you!

DJ was courteous, professional and handled all requests.

The music was an important part of the wedding ceremony and was perfect; the guests at the wedding reception raved about theband.

The music [Sonata Strings Trio] was an important part of the wedding ceremony and was perfect; the guests at the wedding reception raved about the band.

Scott did more than play great music. He controlled the entire flow of the reception; better than I could have ever expected.

DJ Dan kept our middle school kids dancing all night. He used all radio friendly music that made both the teens and the parents happy!

All the musicians were WONDERFUL and really made my wedding day special! Everyone was extremely professional and easy to work with! All the guests thought Sonata Strings were very sophisticated and classy, the pianist for the cocktail hour was fabulous, Sophisticated Swing was great during dinner and after dinner a lot of the guests loved to dance to their music and the DJ was wonderful! He kept us dancing well past the time we were supposed to stop!

We could not have asked for a better DJ, Scott does an exceptional job! We felt like one of our best friends was running the show at our reception! We cannot wait to attend another wedding or event that he at because we know it’s guaranteed to have great music & entertainment!! Thank you so much Scott!

We had a great time at your dance. What an awesome, talented, classy band!! Yes, lots of dancers on the floor! Looking forward to seeing you again for the next two dances.

I just wanted you to know that we enjoyed this past Saturday night very much. It was the third time that we have heard your great group. Keep up the fine work.

We just wanted to relate how impressed we were with the band. Our first exposure was at the Geauga County Fair, and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for helping to bring back the swing era.

Thanks again for a wonderful, wholesome, FUN evening! Got lots of exercise too! You guys are great! I gotta tell you, 3 car groups, totalling about 11 people came from my house. One of the kids in our congregation who I had invited, spread the word to all his Swing Dancing friends, and about 6 or more other car groups of them arrived after we did!

I would like to thank the DJs that recently headed up the entertainment at our school’s annual Cinderella Ball. I have been a corporate customer of Jerry Bruno Productions over the years and this was my first opportunity to use his team on a social event. Thank you for the professionalism and job well done, as always!

Scott Jones went above and beyond for us as our wedding reception DJ. The dance floor was full from the moment he started until the lights came on at 2 am. Not only did he lead our reception with style and professionalism, he played all the right music at all the right times and was a joy to work with.

Bill Bowen and his assistant were super friendly and did whatever we asked. We couldn’t have had a better time!

I was so impressed with the performers at my husband’s surprise party! They helped to make our evening absolutely perfect! They sounded amazing! Loved their professionalism!

The Avenue added a magical note to my son’s Engagement/New Years Eve Party. They knocked everyone out with their talent and warmth. I couldn’t have asked for a better performance…everything was seamless and tight. They made the gig!! BRAVO!!

The Avenue is an awesome band that is always a hit for any venue.

We could not have been more pleased with the orchestra, the selection of music and their ability to provide such a wonderful night of entertainment and keep everyone on their feet the entire evening!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!! Everyone at the event kept asking, ‘Where did you find this band, they are GREAT!’ Kept the guests dancing and fulfilled all the requests! The best song they did was Hang on Sloopy, truly a crowd pleaser! Thank you!

They were once again wonderful!

The band was absolutely amazing! From the first song to the last they were professional, sounded fantastic and were by far and away the hit of the wedding. We could not be happier with the quality and variety of music, they made our wedding perfect!

Scott Jones was more than wonderful to work with. My wife and I live in California and Scott was more than helpful in setting us up for a wondering wedding night. Everyone loved the music and the dance floor was packed the whole night. We could not have asked for a better DJ for our special night.

Simply amazing. Jerry and his musicians made the event. They kept the music going all night, and had the entire wedding on the dance floor. We could not have asked for more.

John Morton & his band were exceptionally great. They were all and more that we hoped for. So many guests commented on what a great job they did. They really made our event special. Thanks!

For every day there is a reason, a time and a place, you made our day perfect. Thank you so much. We would strongly recommend you to anyone who ask!

‘The Avenue’ was excellent! My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better group to perform at our reception. From the beginning of our search for the right band to the end of our party, this group made us feel number one. Thank you so much for working with us and making our night so much fun and so memorable.

Excellent does not even begin to describe the job Scott did for our wedding reception…IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! He has so much energy and passion about his job and it showed on the dance floor. The dance floor was filled the entire evening and people are emailing us, sending us thank you cards and texting us on how awesome the DJ was. We are so grateful that we picked Scott E. Jones, it was well worth the money and time we spent picking introduction and first dance songs. Scott was great, we told him what we liked and he ran with it from there. If I had to do it all over again I would not look anywhere else, he would be my choice.

We were so pleased with TCB’s performance at our wedding. Tony was amazing to work with leading up to the wedding as well. He took of all our requests and suggestions and followed them on the evening of the wedding. The band had great energy and kept everyone dancing all night. They made the night extra special. Thanks!

Scott Jones is the best! Our wedding was a huge success thanks to him. He is wonderful to work with and caters to your requests. Our guests loved him and so did we.

Our guests enjoyed the variety / style of music provided by DJ Mike Alexander. He kept them up and dancing.

Our guests had a great time and they particularly enjoyed the music selections. We had to start dancing earlier than planned because our guests were so eager. DJ DC listened to what we said we liked. He played a lot of our favorite songs.

The band was so wonderful that no one wanted to go home! The songs were a huge mix for all ages and everyone was up and dancing…even my 90 year old Mom!

The Avenue completely exceeded our expectations and made our night a night to remember.

TCB was very accommodating to our requests, very professional, and enjoyed by all!

This is the best band in Ohio! Their music will keep your guests dancing until the very last note is played. The music is irresistible.

Beautiful – made my daughters wedding a classic.

We felt that we were in the presence of true professionals. Michael spent a great deal of time and effort in making sure our ceremony selections were beautiful and meaningful. Amphion Strings played beautifully (what we heard, anyway – we are looking forward to hearing the audio of the prelude, which we missed). We loved working with Michael Houff. Great job!

Pete Cavano was great at our wedding – friendly, professional, and an amazing guitarist!

We had both the Ray Porrello Quartet and Michael Alexander as our D.J. and M.C for the night. Ray Porrello and his bandmates were absolutely remarkable! They set the tone for the evening playing during cocktails and dinner. Everyone said it was like being at an exclusive supper/jazz club in New York City. Thank you Ray, et al.

We had both the Ray Porello Jazz Quartet and Michael Alexander as our DJ and MC for the night. Mike Alexander has to be just about the best DJ I’ve ever seen at any event. He was organized and so helpful to us getting everyone and everything in place. He kept the music fun and flowing the entire evening. We could not have been more pleased with him

Best Band we have ever listened to. Just Great.

Scott and his assistant were incredibly professional and kept the party going all night long! They were accommodating to my relatives who asked to play live polka music, they played a variety of songs that pleased our guests, and gave us many special memories! We will be (and have been) recommending Scott Jones and Jerry Bruno Productions to friends and family for their next event!

Thank you for your DJ services, our guests had such a great time at our wedding reception, the dance floor was always filled. Jeff knew exactly what to play he read our guests perfectly and fun was definitely had by all. Our guest are still talking about it weeks later.

Thank you for your excellent services at our wedding reception. We were so pleased with the music and the night. I know a lot of our crowd is not big on dancing but the variety was just right and everyone had a wonderful evening.

The Appassionata Strings quartet literally took my breath away. We were seated in front of them on the altar and when they began playing, in harmony, with the cantor I was moved to tears. The majority of my night was filled with compliments about the quartet and how beautiful they made the ceremony. I was more than satisfied. They made my ceremony a dream come true.

The Avenue was excellent!! The dance floor was packed all night!! I would recommend them to anyone!!

Mike kept the evening moving and really knew how to keep the flow of the party going. He highlighted special moments and kept the guests on the dance floor. It was clear he has a great ability to read a crowd by the packed dance floor. We can’t thank him enough!

DJ DC was the best DJ we could have asked for. He kept the evening flowing smoothly, played all our requests, and made a great master of ceremonies. Thank you so much!

Bill truly made our wedding magical. He knew exactly what to play and when something wasn’t a crowd pleaser, he quickly moved to something else. As a result, the dance floor was filled all night with a young and older crowd. It was exactly what we had wanted! We have gotten so many compliments about the entertainment and that can all be attributed to Bill!

Xiao Lei has an amazing gift! It was such a nice touch at our wedding.

We had never booked a live band and were concerned about what songs would be played that would entertain our diverse group of young and old as well as the rockers vs. the classical taste. The band felt the crowd and belted out a fantastic mix that made the event! They got even better as the night progressed as they engaged the crowd and got everyone excited.

We used 2 DJs and they were very polite, personable, professional, and current. They were very easy to work with. I would eagerly request Brian for future events!

Scott was amazing! He helped get everyone where they needed to be for the important events ie speeches, bouquet toss, etc. He kept the partying going and everyone had a great time!

They exceeded our expectations at every turn. They were perfect in every way.

Scott Jones did an amazing job at our wedding! We received compliments on the music all night long. Great time!

DJ Tom Winston was great! He was extremely courteous and played music that helped to make our wedding day so special. He kept the flow going throughout the evening and paid attention to our requests and ‘please don’t plays.’ We’d definitely recommend him to other brides and grooms!

He was fantastic. He met all of our needs and was so friendly. We had some issues with the staff of the event and he was there to help lend some encouraging words to not let it ruin our night. He was so nice and we got many compliments on how good our DJ was. Props to you, Dan and Jerry Bruno for having such a wonderful DJ! We are so glad we chose Jerry Bruno, reasonable price for a GREAT service.

Our guests never left the dance floor! Bill was fantastic and played to the crowd. He honored requests and our ‘do not play’ list. Fantastic!

Everyone commented on how great The Avenue was! They had the whole place dancing the night away. Thank you for making our wedding reception so fabulous!

The band was outstanding at our recent weekend event! Not only do they have superb musical ability and vocals, but they are experts at reading the crowd and adjusting the song selection and tempo accordingly. I plan many corporate events and it is rare to see 100% dancing participation, where our guests did not want the night to end! I would not hesitate to hire them again, they made our event spectacular!

They kept the party going all night long, I couldn’t be happier!

TBC made the reception special. They are extremely professional and talented musicians. One of the exceptional things about this band is how Tony seemed to read the audience and then tailor each set to maximize the fun. If you hire this band you can take one thing off your list to worry about.

The Orchestra was AMAZING! We can’t even count the amount of people who told us it was the ‘best band ever!’ The dance floor was packed the entire night until the very end. You exceeded our expectations in every way. Jerry- You guys are the BEST! We cannot thank you enough for making our special night even more memorable for us and all of our guests.

We received so many compliments on the band. The volume was wonderful, the song selection was perfect and it was a huge part of our magical night.

Music at a wedding reception can make or break the vibe of the evening. Rick and the Cutting Edge did a fabulous job delivering quality sound and energy throughout the night and the dance floor was always full!

I received more compliments on the quality of this band than any other aspect of the wedding! They were fun, organized, and stress-free! Guests also thought they were much more expensive than they actually were. I’m thrilled with everything about them!

Dan was great to work with throughout the entire process. He listened to everything we wanted, and made sure it all happened during the night. He was very easy to work with, contact, and made the night very smooth for the both of us. He was always willing to do what we wanted. Everyone loved the music, it made the night great!

Excellent doesn’t say enough about Matt. He played EXACTLY what we wanted with some unique and creative additions sprinkled in that were totally in line with our style. He was flexible when plans changed (rain!!), friendly with everyone, took appropriate and fun requests, listened to us and kept the dance floor packed all night. I think I was a pretty difficult bride – I wanted a DJ who would be energetic and keep the party going, but without games or too much crowd interaction. Matt aced it – the perfect balance was struck. He even managed to slip in one perfectly timed and hilarious ‘OK Elizabeth, I’m getting off the mic now’ – everyone cracked up and I loved it. People are still raving about the music. Matt is a class act – a true gentleman and artist.

Having Appassionata play for my daughter’s wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions I made for that important day! Donna was very helpful in the selection of the music and she was also very receptive to working with some of my requests. The extensive training of these musicians was obvious-every note was beautifully played.

We hired Jerry Bruno musicians and DJs for each part of our wedding day – Sonata Strings Trio for the ceremony, a pianist for the cocktail hour, andDJ Mark Guthriefor the reception. All were fantastic and made the day very special.

Even with all the last minute scramble due to weather on our wedding day, the string quartet did a great job adapting and still played very well.

Scott was an integral part of the success of our daughter’s wedding reception! The night progressed like a well-oiled machine thanks to Scott’s attention to detail and his ability to adapt to any and all situations. His music selections were perfect and kept the dance floor filled all night long! Fun, friendly and very professional are just a few words to describe Scott. Thank you Scott and Jerry Bruno Productions!

Jerry Bruno Productions were fantastic throughout the entire planning process. The office staff were very friendly and helpful, and our DJ Tom Winston was great the night of our wedding. Could not have asked for a better experience! I would recommend Jerry Bruno Productions to anyone planning a party.

I would strongly recommend them and use them again when we have another event. Rick also did a great job as mc and worked well with the wedding coordinator moving along with the schedule. Overall an excellent performance, we were very happy!

They were the highlight of our wedding and had all of our guests raving about how phenomenal they were! They kept the dance floor full all night. They played a variety of music that met the needs of all of all guests. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

They did an amazing job. We had so much fun and received nothing but complements on the music and DJs themselves! Thank you for everything!

From beginning to end, The Avenue continued to please their listeners with a very top notch performance. We have booked them for our event four years in a row and they continue to please. You simply cannot go wrong with this band!

Jerry Bruno was very easy to work with, from the first phone call throughout the end. Matt was everything and more than we expected in a professional DJ. I would recommend Matt to anyone. He was enjoyable to work with and was absolutely perfect for our wedding. He just fit right in!

Being that I am a singer myself, I am pretty particular when it comes to music. I was lucky enough to snag The Orchestra for our wedding, and there were no worries at all! Jerry and his band had my guests on the dance floor till the very end!

We recommend Tom Winston for any special occasion. He met with us twice before our wedding to write down our special requests. He offered recommendations when we asked. On the day of our wedding, he became a part of our family. He flawlessly adapted to unexpected changes in the order of events that took place at our reception. His professional presentation set the tone for an elegant reception. Our guests danced the night away. A great number of our guests danced all the way until the end of the reception. Thank you to Jerry Bruno Productions for accommodating us and referring us to the right DJ for our special day.

Hats off to you both! What an incredible party. Never, not one dull moment in the entire evening. The phone calls keep coming about the party and everyone wants to know how I found you. ‘Extremely, extremely, lucky,’ I said. I could plan it, set it up, and decorate it, but could not have pulled off the fun that you provided for us. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

The band was fantastic. They played their hearts out and made the bride smile the whole evening. Our guest are still commenting on them. You guys are amazing. Lindsay and Ryan had a perfect fairytale wedding and you helped make that possible.

We had a fantastic experience. We have seen many of their groups perform at weddings and events over the years and they always deliver! We had a String Quartet for our wedding ceremony, The Jazz Trio for our cocktail hour and The Orchestra at our wedding reception. They were all wonderful, especially the orchestra which kept the crowd going ALL NIGHT! After the band stopped, so many people were still there dancing, that we continued the party – dancing to an ipod for another hour!!

Scott was excellent! The music at our wedding was perfect. The dance floor was packed all night. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had!

You guys did a phenomenal job this weekend. Thank you again. Everybody had a great time.

I just wanted to send a quick thank you for doing such a great job last night. Everyone really enjoyed the music, was out dancing and having a great time.You were also able to adjust really quickly when the rain started, which was impressive. I don’t feel like it affected much at all, which was great. Thanks again, and we will definitely think of FasTrack in the future.

The band was great! They had everyone up dancing and really enjoying themselves. The music selection was fun and upbeat… I am really happy with our choice! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

The Avenue did a great job at our daughter’s wedding. From the wedding party introductions to the dinner music to the dance music everything was done professionally and without a hitch. After dinner was completed, they got the place rocking and the dance floor was full all night. We received many favorable comments on the band and the vocalists. Well done and thanks to The Avenue for their part in making this a memorable event.

You guys were GREAT! I received so many compliments…Cant wait till our next event…hopefully you will be available.

The quintet was outstanding! The musical pieces selected were beautiful!! Erik was a pleasure to work with and everything went as smoothly as he promised!!

He did an outstanding job. Everyone was on the dance floor, and no one wanted the evening to end. His selection of music was excellent.

The music at our wedding truly made the night! I couldn’t leave the dance floor, even to eat my own wedding cake!

Jerry Bruno Productions [Cleveland Music Group] made things extremely easy! We were able to choose a DJ that was right for us and Jeff listened to our requests and helped to make our day a special one!

Mike was Great! I enjoyed working with him, and will absolutely recommend him again! Tricia Dever of Always Eventful

I cannot say enough about the professionalism and talent of DJ Mike Alexander! He did an amazing job of keeping people of all ages from our large wedding of over 350 people on the floor all night long. We have received so many compliments from our guests about the fantastic time they had, and we owe so much of it to Mike!

We used Shades of Steel and The RayBans for a client event we held at The Tall Ships Festival and it was exactly what we were looking for! People danced and enjoyed every bit of it!

Scott did an amazing job of keeping our wedding reception flowing perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better night, the music was great, and the dance floor was packed until the end. Scott was an exceptional DJ that I would highly recommend to anyone, for any event, especially a wedding!

I lost track of the number of people who said ‘the band is terrific!’

They were amazing! I asked for a specific wedding song and the band leader did a duet with his daughter. Totally above and beyond the ‘job requirement.’ Every person in attendance loved the music and was up and dancing! A band capable of entertaining all ages!

I have had many guests tell me that the band was amazing! The dance floor was full from the beginning of the reception until the end.

Many of our guests commented that the band was a huge hit! The horn section sounded fantastic, especially when the groom played trombone 🙂

AKA was the band we used and not only did we hear over and over that our wedding was the best wedding our guests have been to but the band made the night!!

The band exceeded my expectations in their quality of entertainment! Everyone enjoyed the music and there wasn’t an empty spot on the dance floor.

We are so happy with our choice of bands! They kept the energy high and had people of all ages on the dance floor the entire night.

DJ Alexander kept the dancing going the whole night with a great mix of songs for all generations. Many of our friends said they had never seen so many people on the dance floor for such a long time at a wedding! Many thanks!

Working with everyone from Cleveland Music Group was fun, fast and easy. The Orchestra played above and beyon our expectatins!! So many of our guests were blown away by how incredible the band was, as were we – our wedding would not have been the same without them. I have never danced so much!

I was very happy with the work that Jose did for us as our wedding DJ. He put a lot of effort into making all of our guests feel welcome and included – both the Spanish speakers and English speakers. His announcements were done in English and Spanish, and he played music that both sides of the family loved. He did a great job of feeling the ‘vibe’ of the party, keeping everyone dancing the whole evening. He was very kind and professional, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing- he ran the reception wonderfully based on what we discussed at our pre-event meeting. He was also very flexible! I emailed him all sorts of changes in the final days before the wedding and he was very patient and accommodating. Many guests commented to me about how great our DJ was, and my photographer (who has seen thousands of weddings) even mentioned that he was very impressed with the work that Mr. Cedeno did at the reception. I am so very pleased with ‘DJ Big Daddy,’ and I would definitely recommend him to friends! Thank you so much for making this part of my wedding so easy and successful!

Sapphire Duo did an amazing job at our wedding. The music was fantastic and the musicians were professional.

Bill was really great. He was available for all of my questions prior to the wedding. He was not a typical ‘cheesy’ dj and he really had everyone dancing on the dance floor!! He was really on top of things as far as the schedule went and making sure things ran smoothly. He was just great!!

The Avenue was, without question, exceptional! We had a fun-loving, dancing crowd at our wedding and without the right band the reception could have flopped. Instead, The Avenue kept us going all night, and were extremely professional from start to finish. The song we requested for the mother-son dance sounded better than the original. Thank you for contributing (in a BIG way) to an amazing wedding reception!

The Dallas Coffey trio was superb! They are true jazz musicians that love the art! They made my husband’s 30th Birthday come alive with perfect notes. The evening was a blast, elegant, beautiful, and so much fun.

Everything was awesome, you all were great and very easy to work with. we were so pleased with how friendly and accommodating you were with all of our requests. You all helped make my special day amazing and we couldn’t have done it without you. thank you so much for everything!

Outstanding!!! No one else can compare, fun, engaging, total crowd pleaser!!! Love you guys!!!

Scott was a perfect DJ. He cordinated a special dance for the bride and her father that was fantastic! Highly recommended. Scott is the best!

We have heard multiple comments from nearly everyone attending that one of the biggest highlights for them was the band. Many have said it was by far the best one they’ve ever seen at a wedding. Everyone loved the diverse songs and high energy provided throughout the night. Having looked at your song list and seen the videos online I had very high expectations. You definitely exceeded anything Katie or I could’ve ever dreamed of. The emceeing was great and the songs were awesome.

Rick and the Cutting Edge were fantastic and exceeded all of our expectations. They played our requests, as well as other songs and kept the dance floor filled the entire night. Incredible night!

Rick and Judi once again did a great job making our resident graduation party very special. We know people are talking about the party because a couple of people from different departments have asked me where we found such great DJ’s.

Everyone is STILL talking about the band at our reception! I don’t remember the dance floor being anything but packed the entire evening. They always say the music choice can make or break your reception – and The Bottom Line definitely MADE ours!

You guys did an amazing job, people are still commenting about the band. Thank you once again for learning the father/daughter song. I thought it sounded great and I know they were both happy with it. Take care, we’ll be sure to use you in the future as well as recommending the band to others.

Cherry Red is a class act. Excellent musicianship & great sound. We received many compliments. For a jazz act, they should be your first choice. Nice work! Keep up the good work & excellent talent.

We just wanted to say that you did a fabulous job last Sunday morning. We really enjoyed your music and many guests asked how we found you. Please let us know how we can follow your schedule for this summer. We’d like to enjoy your music again.

The band was amazing. Everyone had such a great time, and they kept the party going all night!

They did a fantastic job maintaining a high-energy atmosphere and encouraging everyone to get up and dance!

All around fabulous job! Thank you so much for everything!

Thank you so much for everything you guys did Saturday night- you were a hit! It was the best night of our lives and you were a huge part of it!

It was a wonderful day. You guys were awesome! I dont think the dance floor was ever empty. We all loved you guys! Thank you!

Rumplestilskin went above and beyond our expectations! They were awesome! We had so many compliments on how good the band was! I would highly reccomend them!!!

Rick & the Cutting Edge was the perfect choice for our corporate gala. The band was flexible in their timing and worked around our schedule. In addition, they were able to get our guests on to the dance floor and everyone had a wonderful time!

Thank you, the band was great! There is nothing better than live music!

Bill was exceptional! The dance floor was packed throughout the whole night and he played everything we requested!

The band was PHENOMENAL! Our guests repeatedly complimented the band – they were a HUGE hit and everyone absolutely loved them. We danced all night and had the time of our lives.

Beyond spectacular!! Wish they could have played all night long, ran out of time. We received so many compliments on how great the band was. Thank you so much!

Mike did a wonderful job and helped make our reception a huge success! He was excellent at helping us incorporate traditional Indian music into the flow of the evening.

We really can’t explain it, but there’s a feeling you get when the Band is playing all the right music, everyone is dancing, I mean everyone dancing and you wish the night is never going to end. The Orchestra helped make our Wedding night, one to remember! From their music selection to their energy and sound. If your even thinking about checking around or going somewhere else, your missing out. The Orchestra will be everything you hoped for and more!

Band was top-notch – couldn’t have been better.

Absolutely wonderful. Jeff was professional and played everything we wanted and more. Would hire [him] and Jerry Bruno Productions again.

Ginny as the harpist was lovely, she even searched extra hard to find the music for my walk down the aisle. Would hire [her] and Jerry Bruno Productions again.

RadioActive was great! Everyone from the Race Officials to the participants enjoyed their music. They truly added excitement and enthusiasm to the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon finish line party. Thank you!

Rumplestiltskin was absolute perfection. The entire band brought a level of enthusiasm and energy to the wedding reception that made the entire evening that much more spectacular. Throughout the evening I had many people asking ‘Where did you find this band?’ Thanks to Chris McCants and the band for living up to and exceeding everyone’s expectations. Best of luck to the band and its very bright future!

Thank you for the performance. Greg and I had an amazing time dancing the night away! We both love music, and feel having a great band made our wedding excellent for us and the guests.

The Avenue was fabulous! My clients were very pleased with the band and felt they exceeded their expectations! Thanks again!

As my children would say, ‘They rocked!’ The Avenue was recommended to us by Amy Hissa. It was the best advice we received. Our guests all commented that the group catered to all ages…and I can tell you our large dance floor was packed all night. We couldn’t believe when Last Dance played at midnight. The night flew by. My daughter and son-in-law loved the current songs and I must admit that ‘I Need You Now by Lady Antebellum brought the house down.

Scott was professional and kept everything organized throughout the evening and had people up on the dance floor all night. It was a pleasure working with him and would recommend him to anyone planning an upcoming wedding. Thanks again Scott.

Best wedding we’ve ever been to…and it was ours!!! Scott was awesome! Couldn’t have asked for or imagined anything better.

Esto Jazz exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them. Over 600 people attended our 2010 Luxury Products Show. It was the most successful event in our company’s history and having Esto Jazz perform made the event even better.

Ilya was fantastic and played so well. His beautiful music made our rehearsal dinner a night to remember. I would highly recommend him. Thanks again for everything! It was a pleasure to work with you.

RadioActive is the perfect band for our Prom. They kept the dance floor packed all night; the students loved them. We will for sure use them again in the future!

The Avenue is extremely professional and talented – excellent singers, performers and musicians. A ‘class act.’ Thank you for helping to make our wedding celebration a lovely evening for all!

I would recommend Mike for anyone who needs a DJ for their event. We will definitely use him again in the future.

Could not have had a better evening; great band, great food, great friends and especially a great WIFE.

Thank you so much for being so wonderful at our reception! You played fantastic music, had everyone dancing and kept people entertained without being showboat-y (new word?). We appreciate everything you did to help make the night unforgettable! We’ve been to a few weddings since ours and I have to say, the DJ really makes all the difference and you were great!

Scott was an incredible DJ in every possible way! He felt the crowd’s energy perfectly and created the atmosphere we wanted at our wedding reception. From our first contact with him, he was professional and organized – he earned our trust and we had complete confidence that he would give us the party we wanted. He delivered, and the trust he earned allowed us to be completely carefree at our reception and enjoy the party. Multiple guests said they wished he’d played a bad song so they could have sat down to rest. We unabashedly recommend him!

The Soul Men were the perfect compliment to our event. They were professional and very attentive to the needs of our event. They not only helped keep things moving along, they did in a fun and entertaining way that kept the crowd involved. It was a very successful night for our organization’s fundraising efforts, much of it due to these fantastic entertainers and their willingness help.

My guests like the quality & variety of Storyville. I would highly recommend them.

Planning our wedding while residing in Orlando, Florida made things very unnerving, but Michael Alexander from Jerry Bruno Productions made the occasion perfect.

In one word – amazing! We could not have asked for a better DJ for our unique Casino Themed wedding. Our family and friends loved Scott. From start to finish, as the bride and groom he did everything to make our night enjoyable and run flawlessly. I would 110% recommend him to everyone I know and use him again in a heartbeat.

The Rockin Ravers were absolutely amazing! The music they played was fantastic. Our guests just loved them and loved all the Beatles songs – some even said they were better than the Beatles! They truly made our wedding reception unique and a night nobody will forget.

Scott was so much fun, I feel like we could be friends!

I would recommend Jerry Bruno Productions to everyone! Our DJ was simply THE BEST out there and the staff was always courteous and easy to work with. The only effort on our part was choosing the music with the DJ, which was, by far, the most fun part of planning our wedding! Thanks again!

Jon Blair and his trio were superb, they made our evening very special! Everyone was impressed with Jon, his voice, his talent, and his versitility.

I have gotten so much positive feedback from the employees and their spouses regarding your trio. I personally thought that the song selections and quality of the music exceptional and plan on requesting that your band play our holiday party in 2010. We were totally pleased with your performance.

Scott exceeded our expectations by far! He was the BEST wedding DJ we’ve ever seen. We have never been to a wedding that hasn’t had the dance floor cleared at least once, and ours was non stop fun! We are so lucky to have had Scott.

Scott did a fantastic job of setting the tone of our reception. Everyone commented on how professional he was and very nice to talk to and have included in our special day.

We had them play an additional 1/2 hour and would have had them go on longer. The dance floor was still full of people wanting to dance at 12:30. They made our daughter’s wedding an evening everyone will remember.

Thank you again for such an incredible evening. We had a blast at the wedding and feedback from the guests as been overly positive. Thanks for keeping the crowd going all night! The music was fun and lively keeping the dance floor crowded – just the way we wanted it! Thanks for all your help. The entire process working with JBP was easy and accommodating! See you next summer at a few other weddings!

You both really did a fabulous job and we received so many compliments! You guys are truly a pleasure to work with-professional, talented and just lots of fun.

Thank you so much for making our wedding such a GREAT party!! You were fantastic to work with and everyone really had so much fun!!! You made the planning process so easy and on the day of the wedding everything was seamless and perfect! You were so professional, thorough, reliable and most of all, FUN to work with!

The trio worked out great and we got a lot of compliments! I’ll certainly refer them in the future!

Arlene, Brian and Co. were absolutely outstanding. Their musical ability is show stopping. We had overflowing compliments from so many of our guests about their excellent performance, warmth and energy. Book this band!! Young and old, they will not disappoint!

You all did the best job that could have been expected. Every one was very professional and did a great job guiding us through the process.

We just wanted to thank you again for putting on an amazing wedding – everyone loved the music. The dance floor was packed and we got tons of compliments! We had a lot of people say it was the best wedding they’ve been to, and got countless compliments on the music. We loved it as well, and wanted to thank you for the great time we knew you’d give us! Thanks again for everything! You’re the best! Everything turned out perfect!

Scott Jones did a fantastic job at our wedding! He kept everything running smoothly and did a great job picking songs that had everyone on the dance floor all night. We had a great time!

Gary was wonderful. He met with us twice before the wedding to make sure he had all the details straight, and knowing how busy we were, he drove an hour to meet us near our house. He checked in many times throughout the months between booking him and the wedding to see if we had any questions & we felt he was always available. Most importantly, he kept our friends and family on the dance floor all night. At midnight when the reception ended, we had a huge group of people left asking us to extend the reception. It was the best experience we could have asked for & we will definitely recommend Gary, Scott and Jerry Bruno Productions to our friends!

Working and planning with FasTrack’s Craig Douglas was an absolute pleasure. For a very busy bride, their organization and commitment to customer service was incredibly helpful. Both FasTrack and the Latin Jazz Projectprovided us and our guests with a very special evening of great music!

The Avenue made our wedding celebration SPECTACULAR! The dance floor was packed the entire night and guests were shouting for more at the end of the evening. The band certainly knew what to do to keep the party going all night. Thanks so much to the Avenue for a fabulous performance!

The music provided was phenomenal and everyone danced the entire night. Your professionalism and reputation as being the ‘best’ exceeded our expectations. The band members were friendly and knew exactly what to play at different times during the night. Thank you again for everything but most of all, making the wedding a memorable one!

If I had another daughter we would use Scott for the DJ – I will always recommend him to anyone who may be in need of an awesome DJ.

Scott Jones was amazing! Right from the start he treated my fiance and I like we were old friends. He put our minds completely at ease and he was did a fantastic job at our wedding! He watched the dance floor and his song selection was perfect – our dance floor was never empty! He is a great entertainer and we were so happy he could be a part of our special day! We wouldn’t want anyone else!

The Orchestra is the best in Cleveland. Our wedding was spectacular!

The band was amazing. Best music they have ever heard at a wedding. The dance floor was filled all night long. There was not enough room to fit for everyone who wanted to dance. I have never been so pleased with a bands performance as I have been with TCB. Would highly recommend them and use them again.

The Avenue was a fantastic band! They kept the guests on the dance floor all night. We have had a million compliments on how much fun people had at our wedding and how fantastic the band was. We would (and have) recommended The Avenue to all of our friends and family. Thank you to all of The Avenue for helping to make our wedding a blast!

Your reputation definitely preceeded and followed you. Everyone we spoke to raved about your performance. You guys obviously kept everyone entertained and dancing until the last song.

I just wanted to thank you for providing the music at our wedding. We have been getting the nicest compliments and responses from those who attended, and everyone has been raving about the band! Seriously, so many people have said how great you all were and how much they enjoyed your music.

Excellent doesn’t do them justice. Judi and Rick were awesome. Everyone kept saying how great they were. They were awesome and I’m so so so glad they were there. From the first email to the last song, Backstreet and Jerry Bruno Productions were professional, helpful, efficient and flat out fabulous. I wouldn’t change anything about the entire process.

Pete was wonderful to work with. His music was great and I would definitely recommend him to others.

We had the best night of our life and The Avenue was key to whole plan! They kept everyone on the dance floor all night and provided amazing entertainment! The night couldn’t have been better and everyone came up to tell us that the band was amazing! Thank you so much for being creative in working with us to find a way to work within our budget and provide an exceptional band. I hope that they also had a fun night and were well taken care of by the staff at The Country Club.

The Dallas Coffey Trio provided exactly they type of music we requested for our simple, elegant, afternoon reception. We asked for music from the Great American Songbook and that’s exactly what they played. We would love to have another event just so we could enjoy their music again.

I want to thank you and your band and sound technicians for all of the your skills and courtesies. Everyone had a great time, and again for our second experience hosting a reception with you and your band, everyone had great praise for the JBO. Your musical skills are evident to all, but we really appreciate your ability to influence the mood of the event with your music, to achieve just the right atmosphere for cocktails, then dinner, then dancing. We will continue to be big promoters of you, The Orchestra, and your stable of talented acts.

Thank you Jerry Bruno Productions for providing top-notch professional musicians for our employee event! Ilya and the jazz trio were outstanding and kept everyone entertained throughout the evening! Applause to you!

Scott made our wedding reception an unforgettable experience. It seemed as though he read our minds, and the crowd; he delivered such an unbelievable experience. Due to his performance the guests have been raving about the great time they had for weeks! We are so happy that we chose Scott for our DJ; we would recommend him for ANY occasion!

You did a great job!

Thank you so much for everything. You guys were great, our wedding day was amazing.

WOW, the wedding was a huge success due the performance of THE AVENUE. Erin and Chris were dancing all night, along with their friends and family, they LOVED every moment. We have had compliments on the band since we got home. Thank you for making our childrens’ wedding a memory to cherish. Needless to say they could have danced the night away, we had to ask for more music, and when you left they still hung around. This a a great band with lots of energy and we would recommend them anytime to anyone.

Chris and I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job your whole band did at our wedding. You made the night special and the singing and dancing you provided were above and beyond. I wanted you to know that our guests are still talking about what a wonderful band ‘The Avenue’ is and how unique and special they made the night. Thank you again for everything, we had a blast.

Initially we were speechless, and now we cannot say enough about The Orchestra! By far the best musical entertainment we have ever heard, and your performance helped make this our dream Wedding! Furthermore, you were an absolute pleasure to work with – truly a class act! We can hardly put our gratitude into words!!!

The music provided by the professionals from Jerry Bruno Productions…both during the ceremony and the reception, surpassed our expectations…and we have VERY high standards!!! They really were wonderful, professional and entertaining!

Thank you guys so much for such a wonderful and fun-filled evening. You kept the dance floor packed all night long! We got tons of compliments and had a blast.

Having the perfect DJ for our wedding was one of my top priorities and Scott Jones exceeded all of my expectations! He was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process and he helped to make our day fantastic! Our dance floor stayed crowded the whole time and everyone loved the music he played. Thanks Scott – you’re the best!!!

Rick, All I can say is WOW! You guys were amazing at our wedding! Thank you so much for everything and we will be in touch soon! We’re off on the honeymoon! Please let everyone in the band know that we enjoyed everything you did so much! Take care,

Scott is a great guy and an excellent DJ. He was very professional and fun. He did a fantastic job getting everyone involved throughout the evening. We wanted the best and Scott delivered. First class all the way!

They made the reception a very enjoyable experience for all. Their selection of music was appropriate and fun for everyone. We received many, many comments from our guest about how great they were! It was certainly worth our money.

Thank you so much for celebrating our day with us. You made the event – the dance floor was packed the entire night! Our guests had a fantastic time – thank you for providing first-class entertainment. Your professionalism and partnership were valued and appreciated.

We can’t thank you enough! The music was spectacular. You kept everyone on their toes all evening, including us (the bride and groom). If we could do it again, we’d do it again with you.

We wanted to take a minute to thank you for the awesome performance at our wedding. So many people came up to us and asked us where we heard about your band. Your band was definitely the talk of the party. You made our wedding very memorable.

Best wedding band ever! We are so glad we hired you for our special day. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The music & song choices were perfect. We got so many compliments from family and friends about the band we chose for the reception. To anyone thinking about a band for your wedding or special occasion…..stop thinking. Hire Rick & the Cutting Edge. They are fun, flexible and sound great. You won’t find anything better. Thanks again for a great performance & memorable night!

Thank you for the beautiful piano music you played during the cocktail hour. It truly added that extra special touch to the wedding. The music was just what we had in mind and was very nice to listen to.

You absolutely rock! Thank you so much for such an amazing night playing at our recent wedding! When we got engaged, we kept focusing on finding the perfect band – you were it! We can’t tell you how many people commented to us what a fabulous job you did from your enthusiastic energy to your amazing work – you blew us away with your talent!

Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job at the wedding. We heard nothing but great things about the music and about how the DJ kept everyone up dancing. You were great to work with and we are glad you could be part of our special day.

There are no words to describe how grateful Jason and I are for the AMAZING performance that you and the rest of the Orchestra gave us on our wedding night. You went so far above and beyond what you needed to do, and every single person there noticed. People are still raving about the band, and in looking at the pictures from the photographer of everyone dancing, it’s plain to see why. Everyone had the best time ever, and we owe it all to you.

We would recommend Scott to anyone! He made our wedding fun for everyone!

We received so many compliments from our guests about the Jon Blair Quartet. They were excellent!

Storyville was awesome. All our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Everyone from 8 to 85 was dancing and didn’t want the night to end. They made my daughter’s wedding perfect. As she told me, ‘it was all I could have ever dreamed of’ and a big part of that was because the band was so fun!

Thank you so much for the awesome entertainment. My husband and I really enjoy live music. Have you four perform on our wedding day made it that much more special. You Rocked!

Our whole family is looking forward to Saturday! We have had so many guests from the last weddings rave about Rick and the Cutting Edge. You really helped to make the evening even more fun. Everyone is excited that you will be at Jessi and John’s wedding too. This will be number three. See all of you tomorrow. We can’t wait!

The Avenue was terrific! Our wedding guests loved having a band to dance to and all of the music was perfect for the setting. Thank you so much!

From our first meeting in your office all the way through the end of the wedding night, it was truly a pleasure working with you and your team. Thank you for being professional, fun and interactive with us and our guests.

Scott and his team were an amazing addition to our perfect day. He manages to not only be extremely professional but also charming, fun and interactive with us and our guests. It was a pleasure to work with him and we would highly recommend him.

The group was very professional and easy to work with. Their music was fantastic and fit with our theme perfectly. I would highly recommend them to others. Wilber was very courteous as were the other members of the group. Wilber had a fun, sunny attitude and was a pleasure to work with!

Tom was very accomodating and flexible. He made sure that everyone had a great time all night at our wedding.

We cannot thank Rick & the Cutting Edge enough for making our wedding unforgettable!!! The dance floor was never empty and guests are still commenting on how fabulous they were! Thank you for making our wedding the BEST night of our lives!!

Just wanted to send a quick note to share how happy we were with our reception music. Everyone loved our harp and guitar. Even the service staff commented how mellow and classy everything was. They even compared it to fine dining. Xiao Lei and Tony were great! Their music ability and professionalism surpassed my expectations. They made our night great!

I know you do this day in and day out, but I hope you comprehend just what a difference you make on a day that shapes our marriage for the rest of our lives. Your smiles, positive energy and blessings were unmatched…and your ability to translate our happiness into smooth, great sounding tunes made our night!

From the moment we met you, we knew we were in good hands. The whole evening went smoothly and it’s because of you. We had specific ideas about how we wanted things to be ordered and you really helped us create a schedule that flowed seamlessly.

Hello, Thanks so much for playing at our wedding! We had so many compliments about how wonderful your band was. …Again, thank you for everything! Your band was so awesome, it totally made our wedding perfect! Thank you,

Sonata Strings were excellent. Michael was very professional and courteous, the music was beautiful and added to the mood of the ceremony. Thank you!

EVERYONE at the wedding has emailed, texted, phoned, or told us in person how amazing the music was. Your band surpassed everything we wished for. It was such a good time, and as you could tell, most people did not want to go home. The musicians were amazing, but your voices were unbelievable. Thanks for a magical night that we will never forget.

Will and the band were a perfect choice for our event. First class guys and a first class show.

You lived up to your rep. Our wedding was great; the music, absolutely perfect. I’ve got confirmation that at least three of my buddies did not leave the dance floor once.

Michael’s choices for the music he played were outstanding. His presence at the reception was not only the icing on the cake, it was also the topper on the cake! Michael is an outstanding pianist and his talent and choices made the day a very memorable one. We would like to thank you and most importantly Michael for a job well done.

I must say we could not have made a better choice. From start to finish, it was a pleasure working with her. She is a true professional in every way…we will always have wonderful memories of our daughter’s fairy tale wedding, thanks in part (a large part) to Xiao Lei.

I had always wanted harp music for my wedding ceremony, even though I never thought that a harpist could surpass my own dreams of grandeur. But your music nearly took my breath away as I walked down the aisle. There is no doubt that you have skillfully developed your talent. Not only do you artfully pluck the cords, but it feels as though your heart travels through your fingers and sings each note. It was an absolute blessing to have you as an integral part of my wedding.

The Bottom Line Band MADE our wedding reception! The music was great and they were so easy to work with! All I am hearing about weeks after the wedding is how much fun everyone had dancing to the band.

We received many compliments during and days after our reception. Pete & I had a blast with Mike..he handled our families ‘surprise requests & timeline changes’ perfectly and kept the everyone on the dance floor (and extended dance floor) all night!

Radioactive was the best match for us and our wedding. In the weeks after the wedding the most asked question to us is, ‘What was the name of the band at your wedding?’ They were amazing and well worth the money.

Jerry Bruno’s staff was very helpful with us in planning our wedding. Karen Westgate was awesome! She played so beautifully and was also wonderful in showing her harp to the children at the reception, explaining how it worked to them in terms they could understand (2 years old). Thank you so much to all of you!

Tom’s attention to detail kept the entire evening running smoothly — everything was perfect!!

Jerry Bruno Productions was wonderful start to finish. The Sonata Strings made our outdoor ceremony extra special.

Scott was wonderful! Aside from being a fantastic DJ, he’s just a really great guy. You know you picked the right DJ when you want to hang out with him even after the wedding is over!

The band is awesome and you are in a league of your own at getting the group up and dancing and having a great time. I cannot begin to tell you how many people remarked about how special the band was! Thanks for exceeding our expectations.

Excellent band which accommodated all our needs and desires.

The Avenue’s performance and professionalism were far beyond our expectations. People were blown away by their sound, sophistication and stage presence. We have never heard a better band! We had many guests from NJ, NY and Philadelphia, and they were amazed at how great The Avenue was.

I just wanted to say that you guys did such a fabulous job at our wedding. You made our wedding so fun and special! We feel so grateful that we were able to have you.

Michael’s suggestions and advice were great. We knew a few pieces that we definitely wanted, and he recommended a few others to fill in the gaps, while still fitting in with the overall mood of our wedding. Would definitely recommend to our friends.

Thank you so much for such a great job at our wedding reception. We were very impressed and everyone had a lot of fun…You were a pleasure to work with!

The band did a great job for our wedding. We got so many compliments from guests about their music variety, energy on stage, and talent. If we got married again, we’d hire them again!

The Bottom Line is an incredible band and had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. Thanks so much guys!

Michael’s suggestions and advice were great. We knew a few pieces that we definitely wanted, and he recommended a few others to fill in the gaps, while still fitting in with the overall mood of our wedding. Would definitely recommend the string trio to our friends.

The Avenue kept the party going all night! The energy was high, the guests were dancing and the whole gala was a success! I would recommend The Avenue to anyone planning a gala, a corporate function or a wedding. They are fantastic!

Scott went out of his way to make the night perfect. It was obvious he really cared and wanted to make our wedding reception the night we had dreamed of. We continue to hear about what a great DJ he was.

Beautiful, wonderful!

Thank you for the gorgeous music you provided at the Wheeler/Rice wedding.

Rick and the band were absolutely fabulous to work with. They kept the dance floor full and played an extremely difficult venue flawlessly. We heard only positive comments from a very diverse crowd. Rick even thought of many things that we forgot about along the way that helped us out. One of our friends even said, ‘I’m not a dancer, but this is the best wedding band I’ve ever heard.’ Rick and the band had him out on the dance floor all night.

The Avenue did a fantastic job at making our big day unforgettable! We had numerous compliments and they kept the dance floor moving…always a must! I highly recommend booking them for your event.

At a wedding reception, the band either makes or breaks the party. The Orchestra MADE our reception. The dancing began with the first note and continued until the last. Jerry took control of the process and led us seemlessly through the night. What a wonderful show. You clearly know your audience!

Kelvis is great as a performer and as the start to our weekend event. He really got things rolling. He also personalized the Elvis scarves to the delight of our members. He was very accommodating, he didn’t rush out after his performance. His costume was very authentic down to the jewelry. Beta Sigma Phi Cleveland Council greatly recommends him!

We couldn’t have asked for a better run reception. I can’t tell you how many times I heard from my guests: ‘ow, this DJ is really good.’ On top of that, he made the job of myself and my bride very easy…constantly asking us if there’s anything he can do or play for us. It’s not often that you really feel as if someone genuinely cares that you’re taken care of and happy…he shows that he truly cares about the service he provides.

My wife and I had very high expectations for the band and they exceeded them.Our guests throughout the evening wanted to know who they were and how we found them.They all were really impressed by their performance.The band set the mood for our party.They were simply great!

We asked the band to learn our song and they played it better than the orginial artist! I would highly recommend them.

The Avenue was amazing and kept everyone dancing all night!

AMAZING. The band made our wedding magical. Thank you!

We received numerous compliments from our guests on how Karen Westgate’s talent & professionalism made our wedding and elegant affair. Karen’s music was beautiful & she was very professional & courteous. She drove through a snow storm & arrived & set up on time”

You guys are great. We had an amazing time, and a big part of that was your band. You got the whole party up and dancing from start to finish. Also, I can’t tell you how many complements we got about you guys; especially your new female vocalist. In addition, I really appreciate how easy it was to work with you. You were probably the easiest part of our entire wedding.

From the keyboardist during the cocktail hour to the terrific dinner music and of course the phenomenal entertainment for the remainder of the reception, our guests continue to praise ‘The Avenue.’ You kept the energy high throughout the evening and even those guests who do not dance were greatly entertained listening to the group. Very few people left the wedding early–a sure tribute to ‘The Avenue.’ After the final song, several guests were chanting ‘encore’ hoping for the evening to continue.

Our wedding was AMAZING. I needed extra help with our special guest announcer and Scott could not have been more helpful. The dance floor was packed ALL night long, and i have received nothing but complements on the music, DJ and overall fun of the night. Our sincerest thanks go out to Scott for being an absolutely amazing part of our evening and totally exceeding all of our expectations.

When it comes to a kick-a** band in the Cleveland area, there is only one phone call necessary! This certainly should be have been evident by the numbers on the dance floor right down to the stroke of midnight. Thank you! You are the greatest.

Scott is an unbelievable DJ, very professional, fun, detailed in his thoughts for the music selections throughout the evening. He was perfect, great to work with. Scott is the BEST and definetly would recommend him for any event. Scott knows how to keep the crowd moving and knows how to get a crowd to enjoy themselves. It was a pleasure working with Scott, he loves what he does, cares about his clients, and knows his music!

The band was fabulous! All the guests kept coming up to me and telling me how wonderful the music was. Music makes the party, and they certainly made our wedding day! Thank you, from the Harrisons!

The A Band performed not only in a professional manner, but had the ability to read the audience and adapt to them. We have used them twice and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

The A Band went above and beyond all of our expectations. They did a phenomenal job performing the song we chose for our first dance. We really enjoyed working with you.

Amazingly talented! Jon Blair did a fantastic job at not only arranging the music to fit the age group at the venue, but also at reading the pulse of the audience and catering to their various requests. The band performed to a level greater than our expectations! As a matter of fact, my wedding guests were so thrilled at the talent level, that one or more parties will probably retain these two groups for other personal venues.

Scott Jones is AWESOME!! He is charming, knowledgeable, professional and FUN! The music was great, the dance floor was full all night, no one wanted to leave and our guests are still talking about the wedding and the reception! Scott took care of every detail and was wonderful to work with. I will continue to recommend him to everyone. Thank you so much.

Jason and I just wanted to thank you for the great job you did at our wedding. Several of our friends and members of our family commented that you were one of the best d.j.’s they had heard and that you really made the night a lot of fun.

We cannot say enough about Cleveland Music Group, DJ Bill Bowen, or Harpist Xiao Lei Salovara . Bill Bowen was the epitome of professionalism and fun. Xiao Lei was extraordinary. It’s difficult to express our appreciation of their work without sounding cliche, but they did, in fact, help tremendously in making our wedding day the most beautiful, fun, and meaningful day of our lives. Our guests were thrilled, as were we, and we could not have asked for a more wonderful experience.

We cannot say enough about Jerry Bruno Productions, DJ Bill Bowen, or Xiao Lei Salovara. Bill Bowen was the epitome of professionalism and fun. Xiao Lei was extraordinary. It’s difficult to express our appreciation of their work without sounding cliche, but they did, in fact, help tremendously in making our wedding day the most beautiful, fun, and meaningful day of our lives. Our guests were thrilled, as were we, and we could not have asked for a more wonderful experience. Thank you so much.

The band and the guests made for a great night.

Wow! Thank you, Scott, for a GREAT evening. You kept the dance floor full all night and we couldn’t believe the people that were dancing…to EVERYTHING you played!

Everything was absolutely perfect and thank you for helping to make our event a great success!

By far, it was the best father daughter dance yet. The girls never sat down they danced the whole night. The DJ was engaging and upbeat; he kept the party going. The dads were boasting about how much fun the girls had. Can’t wait to book through you for next years party…I will never hire another DJ service. Your entertainer did a wonderful job, I didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Just wanted to say thank you for helping make our wedding so special. Everyone had a great time and the music was great. You were great to work with and you ended the evening in a great way. So once again thank you!!

The Orchestra is hands down the ONLY band to hire for a wedding reception. The professionalism exhibited and the ambiance created far exceeded our expectations. Before, during and after the wedding, Jerry was amazing to work with! After the reception, everyone raved about the music. It truly added a level of class not often found at weddings. We were thrilled to have the JBO as part of our special day…they helped to make it a very memorable event for everyone in attendance…thank you all!!

Thank you so much for your participation in our show. It was a great success. I hope we get to do it again next year! Your band was excellent.

Rick and the Cutting Edge was outstanding. They played the music we requested exceptionnaly well and it resulted in the dance floor being full the entire night. I have received rave reviews from my guests on the outstanding band. Thanks for making our wedding even more memorable.

You were friendly, attentive, and made the place rock! I think you played every single song we requested – now that’s service!

Brian and I want to let you know what a wonderful job you did at our wedding. We really appreciated your enthusiasm, friendliness, and flexibility. You are all amazing people and are extremely talented. You did a great job of keeping everybody (young and old) happy and on the dance floor. We are still hearing about how much everybody loved you and have given your name out to many people who want to use you for their own events.

Set the tone for an amazing celebration. Everyone was in awe of the music and danced all night long!! It created an image in our guest’s minds that will last forever!

Quick note of thanks for the great job at our reception. Everyone had a great time. As much as I know Scott would have done a great job as a DJ, I am very thankful we decided to hire your band. I have a number of great memories of the evening! Thanks to you and your entire band for making it such a success.

Awesome Band! Very wide variety of music! Great Time!

The Jon Blair quartet was fantastic. Everyone loved the music. Thanks for helping to make our reception such a special event.

Thanks to you and the rest of the ensemble. We received several compliments about the beautiful music. Thanks for making our wedding ceremony so special.

The Dallas Coffey Trio performance at my daughter’s wedding was extremely professional and entertaining. Our guests of all ages danced and enjoyed their music all night; everyone complimented the trio. I would highly recommend the Dallas Coffey Trio.

Fantastic Band! Rudy is so entertaining, I felt like I was in the Caribbean. And what a great variety of Music styles. I think Rudy’s better than the original performers. Everyone at our party danced the night away. Thanks for making our night so so special!!

Thank you for providing a great time at Starfest two weeks ago. Everybody had a great time and is still talking about the party.

We appreciated the variety of music FasTrack was able to play for our Holiday Party. They did a great job with the various genres.

Thank you very much. We were very pleased. Kevin is wonderful to work with.

Ginny is very talented and did an outstanding job! Please give her my best regards!

Thanks again for your service. We enjoyed the music of Ray Porrello and Fine Jazz.

We wanted you to know how much we appreciate the wonderful music you all performed at our wedding. You guys and gal were terrific! Everyone who joined us that evening said so. Our reception was great fun and your music made it that way.

They were wonderful! We enjoyed them very much and their music appeals to an audience of all ages. The Travlin’ Johnsons not only harmonize beautifully together, they are amazing musicians. They both play the guitar and at the same time, they are playing percussion instruments with their feet. It is amazing! Everyone in the Fox 8 studio was tapping their feet. I would have them back anytime.

They were excellent!

Last night was as good as it always is working with you and the orchestra. They were really good last night.

Everyone loved the band!!! We heard comments throughout the evening of how terrific the band was. Quite a few guests mentioned that they couldn’t remember the last time they danced so much at a wedding.

Just wanted to thank you for a fabulous time at my wedding. We are getting all kinds of huge compliments about you and your band. Everyone loved you! It made the wedding even more special to have everyone up an dancing and having a great time. You and your band do a fantastic job reading the audience and making sure they all had fun. Thanks! Many thanks for everything, it was a pleasure having you as part of my special day!!

Bill was fantastic in every way! He arrived early, set-up right away and ‘started the party’ with great music. We had guests at this closing conference party from 13 different countries including doctors, teachers, researchers, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and the atmosphere! If we ever need a DJ for an event again, we will definitely contact you again and will definitely ask for Bill again!

More of our guests stayed later to enjoy the music and dancing than in previous years!!

Last evening with Rudy and the Professionals was magical. Everyone, all ages, commented on how much they enjoyed the music AND the muscians. Rudy made it more than just music. You have to hear this band and their amazing talent. We asked for four special numbers that were not on their playlist. They were able to do three at least as good as the original. We can’t wait for more family events where we can dance to their beat.

Just wanted to say what a wonderful experience it has been to work with the Backstreet DJs and the Appassionata Strings. Both teams were a pleasure to work with and made a special day even more outstanding.

The Avenue played at our wedding and got the guests dancing all night long. The #1 compliment from our guests was regarding how fantastic the band is. Everyone enjoyed the night from cocktails to the reception. We had them play our first dance song and it was sung and played perfectly. The memories created by a live band are priceless. We are so happy we chose The Avenue. The band was professional, fun to watch, and the musicians not only sounded great but looked amazing.

A talented band that keeps the party jumping. Lots of great music for a diverse audience. A must for any celebration!

Rick and the Cutting Edge exceeded my expectations! They went above and beyond to accommodate my requests and did a fantastic job at executing them. Our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night!

The Bottom Line was an absolutely fantastic selection for our high-energy wedding party! Stan & the rest of the gang kept the party going until the last note they played. Music can make or break your party, and I know that the Bottom Line MADE our wedding!!!

The Sonata Strings with Trumpet perfomance at my wedding was absolutely beautiful! They made the ceremony memorable and were extremely professional to work with. I would recommend Bill Merimee & the Sonata Strings Trio to ANYONE!

We just wanted to thank you for everything you guys did for the wedding! You did a truly amazing job! We had so much fun and our first dance, ‘True Love Will Find You In the End,’ sounded just as we had imagined it would. You truly helped to make it a fun and unforgettable evening!

Thank you so much we were very pleased with the performance!!!!

Your band was the perfect compliment to all of our festivities and made the night more special than we could have ever imagined. Thanks for all of the special touches.

Mike and I watched our wedding video last night and I just wanted to jot you a quick note to thank you again for making our day so special!! You and your band were/are really stellar! Your voice and musicianship are top notch and thank you all for learning ‘In Your Eyes.’ That is something Mike and I will always remember!

Very accommodating to all of our requests. We appreciated him meeting with us prior to the event. We provided him with a list of requested songs from our classmates, and he put together a great selection for the night.

Thank you SO much! Duane was AMAZING! He really made our wedding very special and everyone absolutely loved it. It truly made the day something we (and our guests) will remember for years to come. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

The trio played beautiful arrangements for the patrons listening pleasure. They also kept the sound at a level that the guests could enjoy talking to each other, something that often is difficult at a social event. That was very appreciated by the guests and I received many comments about the great music. It was a wonderful event, and your musicians contributed to its success.

Virgina Dickson is a very talented harpist and her music was beautiful at my outdoor farm wedding!

Our guests keep telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to – and it’s the band that pushed it over the top!

Wonderful…Outstanding! Great band, and Rudy is so much fun. Very professional. Our guests thought they were fantastic. They can go from Motown to Reggae to Jimmy Buffet sounding just like the original singer. Great talent!

The dance floor was full every time I looked at it. Antonio and I had such a wonderful evening and really appreciate your help in making that happen. I’ve heard at least twice so far that ‘The DJ was great!’ And Antonio’s mother AND aunt were thrilled with the Italian music.

I don’t even know where to start!! The music at our reception was absolutely AMAZING! Your sound was exactly what we wanted and the vibe you created was perfect. I must have had 40 different people (no, I’m not exaggerating) tell me how wonderful you were and wanted to know how we found you. As a former professional musician, I understand how difficult it can be to gig and play the same material time and time again. Thank you for keeping the music interesting and fun, it really made for a great night!

The after party was an absolute hit! Everyone really had a Blast! The music selections were great. Thank you so much for all the prep work & meeting together. We definitely will be calling on you in the future.

The band was great! Thank you!

Highly energetic, smooth, professional band. Kept our wedding reception hopping.

Another job so well done. Always great to work with you and your musicians.

Your orchestra was exciting, fun, professional and had everyone at our wedding up on their feet dancing. We loved every minute of it. You were fabulous.

In the midst of much chaos, the band leader really kept the evening going in the right direction and helped us stay on schedule. We’ve had quite a few compliments from our friends and families about the band. Kudos to them for delivering such a great performance.

The night went down perfectly!

The band really set the tone for the evening, lots of energy in the room. Nothing but great comments from family and friends!

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how wonderful the Dallas Coffey Duo was at our event last night. I heard many great comments about the entertainment and how they were the perfect accent to the evening. I know I truly enjoyed their performance and I must say that after a hectic day of getting everything ready for the event, it was really nice to just sit back and listen to some really good music! They were very professional and I really appreciated the ease of working with your agency and the entertainers. Thank you so much for helping us create a great evening for our guests!

Red Line was fabulous! The dance floor was full all night! The band really made the wedding everything we hoped it would be. I would recommend them to anyone.

The trio was excellent. Personally, I had to keep glancing over at them to remind myself that they were live and not a recording. They were that good!!!

Rick and the Cutting Edge were fantastic. Our guests were dancing from the first song to the last. They were great!

Don Disantis Quintet were truly rock stars on stage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for this extraordinary 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration! It was an event to remember!

Scott I just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the Jon Blair Trio and Sonata Strings on August 2nd! Both bands were professional and very talented. We are HUGE Jon Blair fansIve never seen so many people dance at a wedding! I would recommend him to anyone.

The Bottom Line performed at our wedding, and we are still getting phone calls about the wonderful band. They had people dancing in their seats during the dinner set, and after dinner everyone flooded the dance floor! They even learned a new song for our first dance as husband & wife. Everything was perfect and we would recommend The Bottom Line to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and extremely talented band for their special day!

The music was wonderful, and Mary Beth was great to work with. After speaking with her before the wedding, we knew everything was going to be great with no problems.

Our guests can’t stop talking about how much they loved the band. They felt inspired to dance like never before. Thank you for your professionalism.

Thank you – the music was wonderful – we were so happy with the way everything went together. You do a great job of keeping the party going. We appreciate all of your organization & all the talent in your group of musicians & singers. Everyone had a great time. Thank you for an excellent job.

You were beyond our expectation! You played the one request my daughter wanted more than anything and she said you played it better than anyone! Our guests have not stopped talking about how wonderful you were! I cannot thank you enough for making Natalie’s day so special.

Thank you so much for your patience and for a nice job dealing with the chaos of us running off schedule. You were terrific and it was very much appreciated.

Bottom Line exceeded our expectations. They were professional, enthusiastic, amazing performers and above all, did an exceptional job to ensure that our guests had an amazing time dancing the night away.

We had comments from many wedding guests about how much they enjoyed the string quartet music. The bride is happy and I am pleased with their overall performance.

Michael Alexander and his assistant did a PHENOMENAL job at our wedding. Even in the planning stages, his utmost concern was for what we wanted played (not what is usually played). Our guests were astounded by the song list and kept on dancing past 1 AM. Many have called to say ‘that was the best music we ever heard at a wedding…we haven’t danced like that in years!!’

Brett and I wanted to thank you for all your hard work to make the music at our wedding so amazing. We got so many complements on the band. We had a great time dancing the night away and everyone sounded great. It was a pleasure working with you.

Best band EVER – book them immediately! The Orchestra, lead by Jerry, is a classy and talented ensemble. From start to finish, my husband and I knew we were in good hands. People are still talking about our wedding because of The Orchestra!

Your ability to keep a party going is remarkable. The party and energy of your band is by far the best I have ever heard. It was a great party!!!

The concert series was a huge success and I have gotten great reviews from the entire community. Thank you so much for helping us get it going.

Matt and I just want to take a moment to let you know how thrilled we were with your DJ service at our wedding. Our special day would not have been the same without your professional approach and willingness to cooperate with every twist and turn we threw your way. Everything was done just the way we wanted it and our guests had a great time. Your approach to our wedding reception was perfect for children and adults, and I think you managed to play something for everyone!

We received nice comments on the beautiful music at the wedding ceremony. It made the ceremony more memorable.

Bill was great! He played all of our requests in a timely fashion and the sound and lighting were great. We left a lot of the choices up to him and his selections were awesome. I was impressed how he seemed to keep every generation of guest, from young to old, very happy. I will be using Bill the next time I throw a party.

We were extremely pleased. I will definitely call you again!

Michael and his assistant did a phenomenal job! We had people coming up to us all night and the days after telling us how great of a job Michael did! We were so pleased with the planning process; we were confident that Michael was going to do a GREAT job! Thanks, Mike!

Working with Jerry Bruno Productions and Rumplestiltskin was an outstanding experience. Jerry Bruno Productions was efficient and very easy to deal with. We dealt with Chris McCants of Rumplestiltskin as we got closer to the wedding day and found him to be a very courteous and considerate person to deal with — he made our daughter’s wedding reception his wedding reception and did everything he could to make this event special. Every one of the members of Rumplestiltskin played a key role during the performance — the music tempo and cadence was perfect for each activity occuring during the reception.

Thank you so much for making our wedding exactly what we hoped that it would be…wonderful and fun. People are still talking about how much fun they had. They have commented that it was the best reception they have ever been to. The music kept people on the dance floor and that is what we wanted. Thank you so much for everything. I will definitely recommend you to my friends in Cleveland.

I just wanted to let you know we were very happy to have Judi and Rick back again at our resident graduation party on Friday night. Once again, they had everybody on the dance floor until the end of the evening. I would recommend them to anybody who needs a DJ.

Many who attended remarked that TCB was exceptional. There’s nothing like a live band at a great wedding.

You truly helped to make our wedding a tremendous experience for all who attended. I particularly wanted to thank you for the flawless job you did on both our first dance (I Only Have Eyes For You) as well as the Michigan fight song. It was truly a special night for us, made even better by you and your group.

FasTrack was great and got everyone up and dancing – they really made the night special.

The string trio played beautiful music at our wedding.

The guests enjoyed the band, comments were ‘fantastic, outstanding, very professional!’ Too bad we don’t have another child.

We can’t thank you enough!!! Everyone was on the dance floor ALL night—old and young alike. You truly helped make our wedding a memorable event. Everyone is still complimenting the ‘AWESOME’ band!!

Our evening at the Akron Art Museum was only complimented by the beautiful talent of Xiao Lei.

These DJs consistently do a grood job – which is why I use them year after year!

Storyville was over the top! Without a doubt the best band we’ve had in years of doing this annual event.

The A Band and DJ Scott Jones are a great fit for our upbeat and hip corporate clientele. They worked in tandem to create an extremely memorable Awards Event for our customers. They couldn’t say enough wonderful thintgs about the level of professionalism and overall entertainment! Thank you for making us look good!

The Orchestra and DJ Scott Jones are a great fit for our upbeat and hip corporate clientele. They worked in tandem to create an extremely memorable Awards Event for our customers. They couldn’t say enough wonderful things about the level of professionalism and overall entertainment! Thank you for making us look good!

Mark’s trumpet skills are superb, he played a difficult piece perfectly and helped make our wedding that much more magical.

Rick and Judy were excellent. They really helped us out with picking the music and we had a fun loving group, so we gave them a lot of freedom and they really went above and beyond. We loved them!

Jon did a wondereful job and was very accomodating to our needs! Considering our numbers (guests) kept growing, Jon still providing great music; next time we will even book more musicians to accompany him!!

As always you guys are awesome! Every year we look forward to having you at our February Gala. It makes all the difference to have you there. Everyone in your group is very professional and friendly. See you next year!

Thanks for a great job Mike. The professionalism of your entire company meet all our expectations and more. The recommendation from the Hyatt was 100% accurate; Your company was 1st on their list of ‘Must Calls.’ Good Luck in the future!

Jerry Bruno Productions, always a pleasure!

The Avenue was great! Their energy and talent were exactly what we wanted to make our party a SMASH!

I just wanted to let you know that we absolutely loved Wilber and Matt from Panorama. They were a huge hit at our party and the kids (and mascot) loved playing the instruments they brought. Thanks again for another great group and please pass along our gratitude to Wilber and Matt!

We wanted people to forget their troubles and the outside world and enjoy the fine feast and spirit of the season. They did that perfectly!! The transition was facilitated by the beautiful music. It is too bad they were booked back to back. We would have liked them longer.

Gary Wenner was a great addition to our holiday party! He assisted with prize drawings and his radio voice was a huge plus!

Mike’s music selection really got everyone out on the dance floor. Many people have told me how much they enjoyed the event and that they are already looking forward to next year.

Tom Winston was a great DJ! He got right into the theme of my husband’s 60th birthday party which was a toga party!

It was the perfect band for a most perfect holiday dance.

A huge hit! Everyone had a blast; they kept the party going all night!

Mike Alexander was very professional. Jerry Bruno Productions performance overall allowed our party to be the BEST its ever been. Thank you to all involved in pulling our event off so smoothly with such short notice.

I was going to book a different band at first because I heard them at 2 different weddings last year and I just wanted to book things very quickly. However, they were not available. I am SO glad they were not! Storyville is SO much better!! I heard from several guests (aged 20s to 70s) how great you all were; and they were right! Thank you again for making our wedding so wonderful!

Fantastic entertainers! Everyone had a wonderful time!

JT3 was great. The trio is exactly what we wanted as background music for our corporate reception.

The band had great energy and kept everyone out on the dance floor all night.

Everyone really enjoyed all the music selections – young, old, as us 80’s fans. Our guests say it was the best wedding they have been to.

The music Mark selected to play for our ceremony added the touch of elegance we were looking for. And he executed ‘Eight Days a Week’ by the Beatles perfectly! We have been recommending him to everyone.

Jon is just perfect! He’s a little Tony Bennet and a little Sinatra. Killer Voice! Can’t wait to have another party and use Jon again!

Our guests thought the band was the best reception band they had ever heard. Gusts danced from the beginning until the very end! We were so happy with our choice.

They were perfect! Exactly what we were hoping for with our ceremony music.

Mr. Michael Leamon far exceeded any expectation I had. He delighted the entire crowd with his elegant piano skill and sophisticated appearance and his kindness completed his charming presence. I highly recommend the company and, in particular, Michael Leamon.

Gary did a great job – both helping us prepare for our reception, and on the day itself! Everyone had a wonderful time – thank you!

Storyville was exceptional from start to finish! We loved the interaction with our guests and everyone had a great time. We’d recommend Storyville to anyone!

Wow! Rick and the Cutting Edge band were fantastic! The dance floor was consistently filled with guests having a great time. Live band music is the way to go for an enjoyable wedding!

There wasn’t an available spot on the dance floor the entire evening. The band had the crowd dancing to a great variety of music. They were outstanding!

The band members were courteous, professional and kept our attendees on the dance floor until the end of the evening. It was an important event, and the Tony Camerato Band made the evening special. Thank you for being flexible and above all, fantastic!

Tom was extremely attentive to the requests of all parties involved, especially those of the hosts. He was very proactive in his music choices and exceeded our expectations.

The jazz trio set the mood for a lovely brunch reception after our daughter’s wedding. Our guests enjoyed waiting in the brunch line as they listened to the music! They were wonderful and we hope to use them again!

Rick and the Cutting Edge did a fabulous job! The night ran smoothly and the dance floor was filled as soon as the first dance was complete…and stayed full until last call. Thank you for making our wedding celebration so fantastic!

The Sonata String Trio was superb!

Ilya worked very hard to find the music that we wanted and was a pleasure to work with.

The band was wonderful.

Kelvis was worth every penny. What a pleasant surprise. Kelvis was outstanding. He made our 50th class reunion so very special. Everyone enjoyed him. One classmate thought Kelvis’ voice was better than ‘The King.’

Storyville’s performance was beyond our expectations! They played a great mix to appeal to all of our crowd. Only regret was the night was too short. Class act!

The band made the event.

Please convey my thanks to John Toula for a great evening of guitar music for my Son’s Rehearsal Dinner… Not only was his music super, but he was quite personable. I will keep him in mind for any other affairs for which we need music. He sure is the guy!!

I am just returning from honeymoon and wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your musical talents! The Purple Rain was a hit (especially for those who knew me well) as was Lets Go Crazy. Thank you for having an open mind and making this happen. These touches really made the day ‘ours.’

Our wedding reception was the talk of the town due to the wonderful performance by Evelyn Wright and Dave Thomas. It was like having our own superstars perform for us personally. There is no better performer than Evelyn Wright.

Mike Alexander did a great job! He kept the music going and made the flow of the evening perfect. A+ job. We’d recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ! Thank you!

…set a party fun tone for the 1 1/2 hour Cocktail Hour. Multiple guests have thanked us for the special entertainment at my daughter’s wedding.

Sonata Strings did a great job adding that extra touch of elegance to our ceremony. We received so many compliments about how great they sounded.

We hired the string trio for our wedding and could not have been happier. Their performance was outstanding. Everyone raved about the music. They thought it was wonderful and we did too.

The Backstreet DJ’s were great. They kept the party jumping and everyone had a good time. The music was a hit with the guests.

I could not have asked for anything more. The Sonata Strings Quartet were amazing!

They were amazing!! We had a packed dance floor all night and people were actually stomping and screaming ‘one more song!’ by the end of the night. We could not have asked for a better band. Thank you so much, we have people asking us all the time what band we used, and we are passing around your info every chance we get!

Mike did a great job of keeping everyone on the dance floor. We were happy with his performance.

The dance floor was packed all night and people did not want the wedding to end!! Rumplestiltskin made our wedding one that people are still talking about!

The John Toula Trio served as a soft background that was essential for our customer function. They were courteous, professional, exactly what we were looking for, and the music was excellent.

Many of the guests asked if they could have a copy of all the Amphions Quartet’s music played during the ceremony. Unfortunately it was not recorded! Michael put much effort info fulfilling special requests. Wonderful work!

Kevin and the guys were absolutely awesome!! They made our reception and we will use them again…we love those guys!

You made our daughter’s wedding magical. Rick had all the guests dancing up to midnight. Rick is truly a gem to work with.

Many of the guests asked if they could have a copy of all the Sonata Quartet’s music played during the ceremony. Unfortunataely it was not recorded! Michael put much effort info fulfilling special requests. Wonderful work!

Mike was professional, courteous, and read the crowd accurately, so the dance floor was constantly packed. Many of our guests complimented the music selections, as well as the additional lighting that Mike brought, promoting a party atmosphere.

RJ was awesome! He kept people on the dance floor all night. Our guests loved the tableside majic during cocktail hour. I would recommend him to anyone!

Jeff was polite, accommodating and took charge at all the right moments.

THE AVENUE ROCKED THE HOUSE!!! I am getting rave reviews on the performance. Thanks to all.

DJ Gary Wenner helped make our wedding reception dreams a reality! He knew exactly when to liven up the crowd with a faster song and when to slow it down for a more intimate moment. Thank you Gary for a such a memorable evening!

Jeff did a great job. So many people at my reception told me that it was the best wedding that they had ever been to. I believe that it was because Jeff was able to keep the crowd on the dance floor all night long and really tailor to what we all wanted to hear.

We had AKA play at our wedding and they did a fabulous job! Music is very important to me and I am very picky, but AKA fulfilled every expectation and then some!

The Sonata String Trio are amazing! Being the sole music of our wedding ceremony, they provided our family and friends with beautiful classical melodies that left them humming throughout the night! Extremely professional, extremely courteous-overall perfection!

The Avenue was super terrific. Professional and fun! Their great sound enticed young and old, even the teens to the dance floor. We’ll want them again.

Thank you very much; it was a wonderful, memorable evening!

Tom Winston was such a great DJ! He really listened to us and made us feel at ease. He was professional, organized, and courteous. He made our wedding day very memorable.

It was such a pleasure to have Tom Winston DJ our daughter’s wedding. He was totally a professional to deal with not only at the reception but also wile preparing for it. Tom made our daughter’s wedding such a memorable event and was praised not only by our guests/family, but also by the staff at the hotel.

We could not have gotten a better DJ! Many guests were raving to us all night–and even after–that this was the best music played at a wedding. Mike was great and we’d only use him for other events. This guy is a class act.

Ashley and I couldn’t have been happier with RJ. He checked in with us throughout the night (as well as the parents), played the music we wanted, got all the songs right, and got all of the pronounciations right for the announcements. He kept the dance floor in full until close at midnight, which I have never seen before.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He kept the dance floor busy all night. He was ultra professional and did a great job!

Great job! We couldn’t have asked for a better, more put together evening of fun music!

The string quartet was the highlight of our ceremony. I can’t say enough about how beautiful they sounded.

I am very glad we booked through you; they were prompt, reliable and a pleasure to work with. The Avenue was the best I’ve heard at a wedding!

Thank you Mike. You had us all dancing at the Hyatt, Arcade – both young and old. What a great time we all had from Seattle and Cleveland.

Awesome. Very accommodating. Great entertainer with super personality.

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Sonata Strolling Violin Trio at my daughter’s wedding. They were fantastic-very professional and the music was beautiful! We had so many compliments from family and friends. My only regret is that we didn’t have them for longer!

Having trust in this vendor before and on our wedding day that they would do a professional job really paid off to make our day a memorable one! Excellent, above and beyond our expectations.

Thank you both for the absolutely fabulous performance you gave at Heather and Tony’s wedding reception. Numerous guests told me that ‘the DJ’s are perfect!’ You both do such a fabulous job with the music, mixing, singing, dancing!! I knew it would be a dancing crowd–but your great performance brought everything to a new level.

Mike was an unbelievable DJ. Even with last minute changes, he made our reception flaawless and memorable. He was a true pleasure to work with.

We received many compliments on Sonata Strings. Their presence at St. Elizabeth of Hungary was perfect. The strings filled that beautiful church with the reverence it deserves. The Ave Maria brought tears to many eyes, Catholic or not.

John was fabulous!

We loved the entertainment from Jerry Bruno Productions – it was prefectly suited to our event and made our special day even more special!

I was exceptionally pleased with Johns JT3.

The Avenue exceeded all our expectations. It has been almost two weeks since the wedding and guests are still raving about the band at our wedding. Thank you for everything. You will definitely be in our plans for future functions.

We needed to write to you about the wonderful experience at our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding. This was quite a traditional Slovenian wedding. Your song selection, including the three sets of polkas, certainly got everyone on the dance floor! We most enjoyed the fact that you tailor-made the song selections according to your observation of the crowd.

Tom was great to work with. He knew exactly what we wanted. The flow of music between the Nepali & English was perfect!

One month after our wedding and I still have people coming up to my saying, ‘best wedding ever!’ ‘Best band ever!’ ‘Where did you find them?’ Rumplestiltskin was spectacular!

I highly recommend Carey Viton for wedding ceremony music. He played flawlessly and sounded great. Very impressed.

Guests shared with us, ‘they were the best band they had ever heard – very danceable and terrific musicians.’

It was an unforgettable evening with a perfect music group – we thank you!

The music was beautiful and had people complementing it all night.

Thanks so much for your work at our wedding reception. We both thought you did a fantastic job, and we got several very nice comments about the DJ! Really professional and classy.

Such great musical talent and gifts, but just as important so customer service oriented and genuinely focused on providing a special atmosphere for family and guests. We’ll show the Avenue contact info every opportunity we get.

They played all the songs we requested perfectly, as well as many others. Our guests filled the dance floor all night!

Rick and Judy were tremendous. Their choice of music had everybody, including my boss who I have never seen on a dance floor, dancing. People were on the dance floor until the very end.

The Avenue did an excellent job at our daughter’s wedding. The dance floor was always full; played music that was fun and great for ALL guests. Very professional; very classy.

Mike Alexander did a perfect job for our wedding. He was professional and courteous and was a total class act. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding or event.

The steel drums were perfect for our cocktail hour. Definitely set the tone to an amazing party!

The band was excellent! They sounded great, and all of our guests loved them! We would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or any other event.

Thank you so much for making our wedding so special. The music just added to the overall atmosphere.

The trio was great. The group incorporated all of my requests as well as offering great suggestions that were really helpful.

We loved this band. Will use again!

The Avenue is truly an exciting, fun and talented band that I would recommend for any event. They bring a lot of energy and sophistication and they helped make our Gala Benefit the best one yet.

We had so many compliments on our DJ after the wedding from family and friends and have given out your name and info to many as well. I would recommend the Backstreet DJ’s to anyone who is looking for mature, professional DJ’s who are willing to make your event as special and wonderful as they can!

Awesome. Very professional. Devon’s voice was exceptional.

…instrumental in making Hillary and Craig’s wedding reception run smoothly and made it lots of fun for everyone. I highly recommend this band. They are wonderful.

They were absolutely amazing! They were everything I imagined and more! They made our wedding day extra perfect!

Was a blast! Everyone had such a great time! Your band made our wedding a hit. People were telling us it was the best wedding ever!

We just wanted to thank you for putting on such a great performance at our wedding. We received many compliments on the band and had lots of fun dancing!

Working with Mike Alexander and Jerry Bruno Productions was the easiest part of our wedding. They made you feel comfortable and also came up with great ideas that fit our personalities and the theme of our wedding.

I’ve never seen so many people on the dance floor continuously throughout an entire wedding reception! The crowd was chanting for more when the evening had concluded! Backstreet DJs were very professional and easy to work with every step of the way.

What a great party band! They started off strong and kept the energy going all night long.

RJ Goody was the best! He played all of our requests and mc’d our wedding reception flawlessly.

…terrific. They made the night very memorable. The group blended well together and were very professional. Great job!

Mike was one of the many reasons that my day was perfect. He professional but fun, kept events on schedule and guests on the dance floor. Perfect!

DJ Tom was great. Easy going and perfect for our event.

This group really knows what to play to get your guests on the dance floor. Every one of our guests told us how great the band was!

His piano playing actually moves the soul. All the songs were played beautifully. He made the ceremony wonderful.

Very professional – great selection of music.

Rick Iacaboni was the perfect addition to help set the mood at our event.

DJ Tom was perfect for our corporate event!

Memorable entertainment and very professional.

They were great! We want them again.

I can’t thank you enough for giving Ben and I the perfect music we wanted at our wedding…and for running such a smooth evening. My entire family had a lot of fun, which is what it was all about. And I hear your magic tricks were a big hit with the guests!

The Geez Cats were teriffic and great fun!

Terrific Entertainment!

Mike kept the party rolling, and on schedule. He was great at keeping Amy and I informed of upcoming dances, cake cuttings, etc. He made it easy for us to enjoy ourselves without worrying about the entertainment. He was courteous to us and all our guests.

Our employees enjoyed the music & DJ. RJ Goody brought life to our corporate event.

I just wanted to tell you thank you so very, very much for making our evening so wonderful. Through all the headaches that we sent you, you certainly pulled it off.The dance floor never cleared! What a sign that they were all having a wonderful time. You and your brother are so sweet, yet so professional.

The dance floor was packed from start to finish…everyone raved about the band. Our daughter’s boyfriend, who is 20, thought a band was cheesy, that DJ is the way. He now says a band is the way to go. You guys did us proud, made us look good.

Oh, you guys were great! I was told that this was the first time in 20 years that the guests stayed and danced past 9:30!!! Thank you so much, I must say that you guys made our function a success!

My Three Sons kept our group smiling. It was an upbeat, fun morning. They sounded great! People couldn’t help but sing along. I would definitely recommend and book again.

The Dave Sterner Jazz Quartet was the perfect fit for our black tie affair. They were wonderful!

The trio did a beautiful job at my wedding ceremony. They played my special requests, and helped me to select recessional music. I was very happy with them – highly recommended!

WOW we were really happy with the way things turned out…its a real testament to the fun atmosphere that you guys helped create that there were still 100 people on the dance floor at the end of the night.

Mike was a great DJ! He kept the dance floor full all night long, and still managed to fit in our special requests. Highly recommended.

Music is a big part of my life and my husband’s life, so it was important to us that the music at our reception represented us and it really did. Gary did a great job! I would recommend Gary and Jerry Bruno to anyone! Excellent!

Thanks for making my wedding beautiful!

…exceeded our expectations – helped to make our ceremony perfect!

…exceeded our expectations! – helped to make our ceremony perfect!

Duane was a great addition to our reception. I’ll never forget the enthusiasm that our guests showed when he began the recessional. It was awesome.

Weeks after the event people are still talking about how awesome the bagpiper was & what a nice touch it was.

Your band did a great job at the Paige/Kroot wedding. It surely looked like everyone was having a good time and lots of dancing!! Thanks so much. All the dancing is proof that the guests are liking it!!

I just wanted to tell you personally, we thought your band was OUTSTANDING! I cannot tell you how many people commented about what a fabulous band you all are. You absolutely made our wedding reception everything and more we could have hoped for.

Storyville was outstanding. Arlene was a tremendous help with planning the flow of our event. At times there was no one, NO one sitting – everyone was up dancing.

Virginia did a wonderful job. The music was perfect for the setting. Definately would recommend to anyone seeking a special sound to their wedding.

Thank you so much for adding a VERY special touch to our wedding day. We will definitely promote your services to other people we know.

Elvis was Awesome! Great job, lots of fun.

Rick was great! Our customers enjoyed his magic! He was a hit at the party.

Words cannot describe the enormous sound produced by these delicate strings [trio]. Absolutely breath-taking. Melodies that I will cherish for years to come still linger in my mind.

Please pass on my sincere thanks to Mike and the rest of the quartet. They were beyond amazing last night at my wedding, I can’t thank you guys enough. Thanks for making my ceremony special!

I had the quartet and they helped to make my wedding ceremony amazing. I got so many compliments on the music. They couldn’t have done a better job.

All of our guests mentioned how pleasant and beautiful the string quartet played. Michael was very helpful with his professional manner and knowledge. Our expectations were truly exceeded.

Thank you for being the very BEST band ever! You guys were amazing and everyone had a blast. So many people have commented how great you all were.

What we found amazing was that all age groups were on the dance floor enjoying themselves until the very last song. Thanks for a night to remember!

Rumplestiltskin was spectacular. Everyone at the wedding raved about them. They were a highlight of the night.

People have not stopped talking about the band that played at our wedding. From the cocktail hour right up until the last dance, the music was outstanding!

Everyone thought our harpist Virginia was great. Many thanks and prayers.

The Sonata String Trio were easy to work with and they sounded great. They added that extra special something to our ceremony.

…the perfect choice for our reunion! They played a wide range of music and we all enjoyed them.

We wanted to do something a little different when it came to our ceremony music. The office staff & Dave Sterner made my dream of having a solo sax come true!

The party lasted longer because of Rick’s music. It made us all feel stronger and yet calmer. There was never a dull moment. He was really easy to talk to and was very gracious.

The performers did a tremendous job and were certainly a highlight of the wedding. The guests are still talking about it. Very elegant.

Thank you for the beautiful performance! You helped set an elegant tone for the entire wedding and reception.

Good selection of music – enjoyed them very much!

The Joe Hunter Trio created exactly the ambiance I imagined for our special class reunion event. I admire the professionalism of this group. They are the best. Thanks Joe, Dallas and Paul!

Added an extra touch of elegance to our special day. The group kept great lines of communication with me. A great addition to your company!

Mike was fantastic! He played everything we wanted and nothing that we didn’t. It was a constant flow of all of our favorite songs! The party would have gone all night if it could have!

Evelyn Wright was fabulous! My guests called me days after the wedding saying how wonderful she was.

Las Vegas style, quality entertainment.

Far exceeded our expectations. My wife and I are both former musicians, lovers of jazz, and New Yorkers, so our expectations were high, and Ray was fantastic. As good or better than any New York group. We give them our highest recommendation.

The best. End of discussion.

The trio played beautifully at my wedding. They lived up to every expectation I had and I will definitely tell more people about your wonderful services!

People could not stop talking about how fabulous the band was! They didn’t want the night to end.

Ginny played our daughter’s wedding and her beautiful, relaxing music was everything I had hoped for and more.

Devon Gess has the most amazing voice. When she sang Ave Maria at my wedding, I got goosebumps!

Mike was amazing! Friends & family all commented on how wonderful he was. He made our wedding even more special! Everyone had so much fun because of our DJ!

Turned our great party into an amazing night.

We just wanted to say thank you to you and the rest of Storyville for your excellent performance on Saturday. You guys were terrific, and everyone had a great time dancing. Thank you for keeping the party upbeat and moving; we had a wonderful reception.

Great for our cocktail hour. Professional, and the music was great!

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect band to add to our perfect day! All of our guests are still raving!

…helpful in arranging the ceremony and helped relieve any anxiety about timing of the ceremony through their professionalism and willingness to discuss ideas.

He really makes a party fun; everyone dances and has a good time!

Storyville was the best band we could have had play at our wedding. Everyone had so much fun and the dance floor was packed!

Storyville is a class act from start to finish. If you’re looking for a band with a great sound and energy to get your party dancing…Storyville is the one!

Virginia exceeded our expectations! Our ceremony was complete because of her! Thank you for making our day even better!

John Morton was just wonderful – he gave us more than we expected! He was a joy to work with!

We wanted a flexible DJ – someone who would sculpt the music to our diverse guest list. Gary was right on! No doubt, we’ll recommend you at every chance.

Rick was very professional and always kept both families informed…I really appreciated that he checked with me and my husband and the groom’s parents several times throughout the night, to make sure everything was how we wanted it.

Energetic, fit in with atmosphere, felt like they belonged.

The music was exactly what we had planned with our DJ and made the wedding fun for everyone. Your company is great to work with.

Thank you so much. Being prompt, professional, and well-dressed added to the beauty of our special day.

Many DJs and Bands come to the Wyndham Cleveland to perform, but I know that I can always expect the most professional, highly polished, and friendly performance artists from Jerry Bruno Productions. Again, thank you so much for lending us DJ Gary Wenner for our client party. It was a huge success due to your contribution.

Gary Wenner was extremely professional and kept the night moving along smoothly, he really knew how to keep the dance floor full. Hes such a great DJ.

Very pleased with this band. Would recommend them highly.

Fantastic!!!

First class operation from beginning to end – exceeded expectations. Great addition to our special day. Thanks!

I was a little concerned when my daughter and fiance’ asked for the steel drums, but WOW! They were great. We used it for the cocktail hour outside and the people loved it!

They were perfect for our cocktail hour as we were married in The Islands on the beach with a steel drum band playing.

Devon was also helpful & professional. She has such a beautiful voice. She did wonderfully! Guests complimented her also! Thank You.

The Don Disantis Band was absolutely wonderful! They were very personable, kind, and fun and they even learned two new songs just for our wedding reception. What a macial night we had – a dream wedding reception due largely in part to the band.

I was very impressed with the Ray Porrello Trio! They are true musicians – you can tell they love playing, and that enthusiasm inspires the crowd!

Thank you for helping to make our daughter and son-in-laws wedding a memorable one. Everyone had a great time. Excellent job!

As always – Jerry, his staff, and Michael Alexander were fantastic. I never have to worry about anything when Jerry’s people have taken care of the music for my special events. We’ve used Jerry for weddings and corporate events and had a wonderful experience every time!

Thank you for Carey, he was great…absolutely fantasic. Will call next year for my grandson’s communion.

We were unsure of who to get to perform at our daughter’s wedding, but we definitely made the right choice…extremely professional.

Virginia was fantastic! She even learned a new song for our ceremony in only four weeks! She played beautifully.

We used the Sonata Strings for our wedding on May 6th and they were incredible! Everyone said it was the most elegant wedding ever and I know that the music they played really put the icing on the cake.

Don DiSantis was fantastic! He and his band set a great mood for our reception – tons of fun!

The Don DiSantis Quartet was outstanding and working with Jerry Bruno Productions was first class! Thank-You for making our daughters wedding spectacular. Your internet site and listening to the different artists was fun & informative.

Thank you to you and your ensemble for the outstanding performance at our daughters wedding at Pier W. We were so pleased with your performance and selection of music and have received so many wonderful compliments from our guests. Thank you for adding your talent to a perfect day. You were outstanding and are highly recommended by us.

Alex and I were very pleased with the overall performance of the Don Disantis Quartet. They were fun and energetic, our guests had a great time! Don was wonderful and the songs they learned for us made me cry. I thought it was the original.

We chose Don Disantis play at our wedding and he was perfect. He and the band even learned a new song that we wanted as our first dance. We really enjoyed working with him and they were terrific during the reception.

Don Disantis and his band were exceptional. Many of our guests commented on Dons wonderful voice and what a refreshing change it was from the ‘normal’ wedding music. As far as the bride & groom, we thought Don was one of the reasons our wedding was so fun and memorable. Don was professional, funny, engaging and just a delight.

The Carey Viton/Tony Camerato Trio far exceeded my expectations. I never expected such a ‘big sound’ from only three musicians.

Don was Fabulous!

From the booking until the end of our event, all details were handled in a professional manner and the musicians did an excellent job of entertaining at our event.

Storyville was fantastic, they were professional, yet fun. They put on a fabulous show to rock in our New Year’s Eve wedding.

We needed something to bring excitement to our client appreciation event and Kelvis was perfect. His imitation of Elvis was startling! He even sounds just like the king. Our group was very impressed and he brought the ‘special’ touch we were looking for.

Our guests were elated to be able to talk with each other without yelling. You also made sure everyone was introduced and cued all the toast makers for their speeches. You’re a great MC knowing when to do what. Even my Mother-In-Law, who is hard to please, said ‘wow, that guy is GOOD!’

You really kept things going! The dance floor was full the entire night! You were very professional and never once stole the spotlight. Thanks again!

You were excellent and we couldn’t believe how the dance floor was always full. Everyone was very pleased with the music and we had no complaints.

Thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding, even in the rain! Virginia is amazing and we were so happy she was a part of our day… We are going back to Geneva to celebrate our anniversary and are going to listen to her music. We are bringing her CD with us.

Stars pay tribute to Cleveland rock legend Eric Carmen: Steven Van Zandt, Paul Stanley, Slash & more

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cleveland rocker Eric Carmen died over the weekend at age 74, his wife Amy Carmen confirmed.

“It brought him great joy to know, that for decades, his music touched so many and will be his lasting legacy,” she wrote on his website .

Carmen first burst onto the national scene as the frontman of the Raspberries, whose single “Go All the Way” reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972. Following the band’s breakup three years later, Carmen became a successful solo artist on the adult contemporary charts with hits like “All By Myself,” “Never Lose Control” and, memorably, “Hungry Eyes,” off the hugely popular “Dirty Dancing” soundtrack in 1987. He also wrote songs for other artists, including “Almost Paradise,” recorded by Mike Reno and Ann Wilson for the movie “Footloose.”

News of his passing spread on social media, where some of his famous fans posted tributes to Carmen, born in Cleveland in 1949 and who grew up in Lyndhurst.

“Damn. Another friend gone. RIP Eric Carmen,” shared Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Van Zandt . “The Raspberries set a production standard we’re still trying to reach. Deepest love and condolences to Amy and the family.”

Indeed, Van Zandt’s E Street Band frontman Bruce Springsteen was a big fan of Carmen, who in a 2017 interview recalled meeting The Boss for the first time many years ago.

“Bruce looked at me and he goes, ‘You know, while I was writing ‘The River’ all I listened to was Woody Guthrie and the Raspberries’ greatest hits,” Carmen told the Observer . “I must have worn out three copies of that record.”

Carmen and the Raspberries were an early influence to many big-name rock stars, including Jon Bon Jovi and Paul Stanley of KISS.

“Awful News. Eric Carmen has died,” Stanley wrote on X . “Although known to many for writing radio hits like ‘All By Myself’ and others, Eric was a true rocker at heart. His voice had elements of (Paul) McCartney and Steve Marriott. The Raspberries did shows with us. A killer band live & I loved their records.”

“The loss of Eric Carmen really hurts,” added author Stephen King . “The Raspberries were the best power pop group ever. ‘Ecstasy’ was my favorite,”

“RIP Eric Carmen,” Shaun Cassidy posted . Carmen wrote two hits by the former teen idol: “That’s Rock & Roll” and “Hey Deanie.”

“Eric Carmen was one of the reasons #CLE is known for Rock and Roll,” Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne chimed in . “He’ll be missed but not forgotten & his music lives on. Rock in Peace.”

“Saddened to hear of Eric Carmen’s passing at the young age of 74. He gave us one of the best rock songs ever,” Fox News anchor John Roberts posted , along with a video of him and his young son jamming to “Go All The Way.”

“RIP #EricCarmen,” Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash wrote simply on Instagram.

Eric Carmen obituary

Lead singer with the Raspberries who went on to have a successful solo career, enjoying a huge 1975 hit with All By Myself

Long before the term “classical crossover” was invented, Eric Carmen, who has died aged 74, showed everybody how to do it with his 1975 single All By Myself . An international hit that reached No 2 in the US and 12 in the UK, it borrowed the melody from the second movement of Sergei Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No 2 in C minor for its verse, and for good measure included a classical-like piano interlude.

Proving that no musical idea need ever go to waste, Carmen also revisited Let’s Pretend, his 1973 Top 40 hit with his band the Raspberries , and reworked it for the chorus of All By Myself.

His first solo single, it was the biggest hit of Carmen’s career, and in 1996 the song was born again when Celine Dion recorded it, sending it soaring up charts around the world.

In 1976 Carmen followed it up with a second smash, Never Gonna Fall in Love Again , which went to 11 on the US chart. Once again, Rachmaninov was partly responsible, with Carmen quoting from the composer’s Symphony No 2. Both singles were taken from his debut solo album, Eric Carmen, the most successful of his six solo outings and which reached 21 on the US album chart.

He enjoyed another brace of Top 30 hits with She Did It (1977) and Change of Heart (1978), but it was not until 1987 that he had another massive success with Hungry Eyes. This was from the soundtrack of the movie Dirty Dancing , and though it was not one of Carmen’s own compositions, he was invited to sing by the producer Jimmy Ienner, who had worked with the Raspberries. Once again this was an international hit, and reached No 4 in the US.

Carmen had enjoyed previous film-related success in 1984, when the song Almost Paradise from the movie Footloose , which he wrote with Dean Pitchford, reached No 7 in the US, performed by Ann Wilson and Mike Reno. In 1988 another Carmen-Pitchford composition, Make Me Lose Control, gave Carmen his last big hit when it reached No 3 in the States.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, into a family of Russian-Jewish immigrants, he grew up in Lyndhurst. He displayed musical leanings from an early age, and by the age of two he was doing impersonations of Tony Bennett and Johnnie Ray for his parents, Ruth and Elmer Carmen.

At two-and-a-half he was enrolled in the Cleveland Institute of Music’s Dalcroze eurhythmics teaching programme, and by the time he was six he was being taught violin by his aunt Muriel Carmen. “My dad’s sister was a prodigy on the violin and viola,” he wrote, “and played with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra for 43 years under the great George Szell … I used to sit on stage with them while they rehearsed.”

Music was in his veins. Aged 11 he began learning piano, and was soon writing his own songs. He became infatuated with Leonard Bernstein’s musical West Side Story, but even this paled beside the impact of the Beatles and the British invasion. While attending Charles F Brush high school in Lyndhurst, he began playing with a variety of groups, and learned the guitar to go with his keyboard skills. After enrolling at John Carroll University, he became singer and frontman of the band Cyrus Erie.

A turning point came when the guitarist Wally Bryson joined, having previously been with the popular Cleveland band the Choir, who had had a big local hit with It’s Cold Outside. Carmen commented that “my ultimate ambition as a high school kid was to either become a member of the Choir, or have a group like that myself”.

Bryson and Carmen were both huge fans of the British groups the Who and the Small Faces (they played the latter’s Tin Soldier as an encore), and by late 1968 Cyrus Erie were Cleveland’s biggest band. They signed a deal with Epic Records, but were cursed with unsympathetic producers, and after Bryson’s departure the group disintegrated.

Carmen then reunited with Bryson, plus the Choir’s drummer Jim Bonfanti and bass player John Aleksic to form the Raspberries in 1970. The group achieved its classic lineup when Aleksic was replaced by Dave Smalley, and they released their debut album in 1972.

This spawned the US No 5 hit Go All the Way , a slightly odd mixture of a slashing guitar riff with a middle-of-the-road melody (as Bryson said, “after the power of the intro, the verse sounded like a Bing Crosby song”). But Carmen was pleased that he had managed to make the song sexually suggestive without triggering an airplay ban. “I wanted to write a song with an explicitly sexual lyric that the kids would instantly get, but the powers that be couldn’t pin me down for,” he said.

It was the Raspberries’ biggest hit and sold more than a million copies, though they scored two more US Top 20 entries with I Wanna Be With You (1972) and Overnight Sensation (Hit Record) in 1974.

Fresh, the second of their four albums, was the most successful, reaching 36 on the US chart. The group were proud to wear their 1960s influences on their sleeve, but this left them struggling to overcome an impression of being teenyboppers too much under the Beatles’ influence. The way Carmen saw it, the Raspberries were a reaction to rock’s increasingly grandiose pretensions. “By the end of the 60s, it was all about bands like Jethro Tull noodling on flutes, or inferior guitarists playing 10-minute solos under the delusion that they were as good as Jimi Hendrix,” he snorted.

“We reacted against that by writing melodic three-minute pop songs.” Subsequently, the Raspberries would be cited as an influence by many major artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Axl Rose of Guns N’Roses.

They played their final show in May 1975. By then Carmen had written a new batch of songs with which to launch a solo career. He signed with Arista, whose boss Clive Davis he considered “the most artist-orientated individual, as opposed to the more bureaucratic type”. In November that year he released his first solo album.

Carmen’s first two marriages, to Marcy Hill, then to Susan Brown, ended in divorce. He is survived by his third wife, Amy Murphy, a former broadcaster whom he married in 2016, and by his children, Kathryn and Clayton, from his second marriage.

• Peter Chakerian, cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Over the weekend, music lost a one-of-a-kind legend in Eric Carmen. The singer-songwriter has had a big red-letter career, filled with hits and melodies that have influenced generations of musicians and fans. We look back on some key dates in his life:

August 11, 1949

Eric Howard Carmen is born in Cleveland, Ohio. The singer-songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist was first known as the bandleader of the power-pop band the Raspberries. He scored numerous hit songs during the 1970s and 1980s with the band, as well as a solo artist.

Carmen was identified as a musical prodigy early in life and by the tender age of three (1952-1953) was enrolled in the Preparatory Division (formerly the Dalcroze Eurhythmics program) of the Cleveland Institute to study both violin and piano. By six years old, he was taking took violin lessons from his aunt Muriel Carmen, violinist in the Cleveland Orchestra.

By age 11, the Lyndhurst native was playing piano and dreaming about writing his own songs, but the splash of both The Beatles and Rolling Stones pushed him in another direction.

By the time he was enrolled at Charles F. Brush High School, he was well on his way performing in bands as he continued studies at John Carroll University in University Heights.

Somewhere in the swirling ether, 1970

Carmen was a member of a band called Cyrus Erie, which recorded several singles for Epic Records.

While that band never quite achieved notoriety, CE guitarist Wally Bryson had been jamming with friends Jim Bonfanti and Dave Smalley—both of whom were in The Choir, one of Cleveland’s most popular bands of the time. When both bands disbanded near the end of the 60s, something clicked.

Carmen, Bryson, Bonfanti and Smalley teamed up to form the Raspberries, a power-pop rock band. The quartet went on to have four Top 40 singles, including the Top 5 hit “Go All the Way,” and recorded four albums for Capitol Records. They nicked a “matching suits” aesthetic when most musical outfits were ditching that sartorial style.

Carmen & Co. saw this as a response to the bloated excess of progressive rock.

April 10, 1972

The Raspberries self-titled debut album is released. It contained two charting singles, “Don’t Want to Say Goodbye” (which reached #86) and their biggest hit, “Go All the Way,” which peaked at #5. The album would end up being their second highest-charting LP, reaching #51 on the Billboard album chart, but spent more weeks on the chart than all of their other albums combined. Both American and Australian versions of “Raspberries” carried a raspberry-scented scratch-and-sniff sticker.

November 13, 1972

Before the year was over, a new album called “Fresh” arrived. It featured the pop smash “I Wanna Be with You,” which cracked the Top 20 on the Billboard singles chart. “Fresh” was the highest-charting album of the band’s short career. Early reviews hailed the album as a masterwork. “This is the best album I’ve heard in a long time,” “Creem” writer Mike Saunders said, “and it looks like we have an important group on our hands.” Saunders was later part of the Angry Samoans and coined the phrase “heavy metal,” so we can only conclude he knows a thing or two about a thing or two.

September 10, 1973

“Side 3″ arrived in the fall of 1973 and featured three singles: “Tonight” / “Hard to Get Over a Heartbreak,” “I’m a Rocker” and “Ecstasy”—all of which are considered by critics to be among their best songs. The album stalled out at number 138 on the US albums chart.

Bonfanti and Smalley would leave the band not long after. Drummer Michael McBride (formerly of Cyrus Erie) and bassist Scott McCarl would replace the pair, but at that point, the magic was dissipating. A final album “Starting Over” in 1974 landed to mixed reviews. A greatest hits package would arrive in 1975 as “The Raspberries featuring Eric Carmen,” setting the stage for his solo career.

“Democratic foursomes don’t work in the ‘70s like they did in the ‘60s, when there were fewer musical directions,” Carmen told Rolling Stone in 1975. “We had matured into four dissimilar individuals, and it became ludicrous for us to continue.”

“Tonight” would be the leadoff track on Mötley Crüe’s debut album, “Too Fast for Love,” eight years later.

November 1, 1975

Carmen’s self-titled debut album for Arista arrives, the first of two self-titled albums (1984) which peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard album chart. The album featured two of his biggest solo hits—”All by Myself” and “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again.” The third single “Sunrise” also charted the following year.

Two years later, “Boats Against the Current” (nicked from a line in “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald) peaked at #45 on the Billboard 200, with a who’s who of guest artists supporting Carmen: Brian Wilson and Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys, Burton Cummings (The Guess Who) and Jeff Porcaro (Toto).

In 1978, Carmen’s third release “Change of Heart” arrived to pomp and circumstance here in the U.S. The title track ended up being a Top 20 hit. For the album, he remade the Four Tops’ 1964 classic, “Baby I Need Your Loving” and recorded “Hey Deanie” (which he’d penned for teen heartthrob Shaun Cassidy) for the “Change of Heart” 45 RPM single’s b-side.

Two additional solo albums would be released—1980′s “Tonight You’re Mine” and 1984′s “Eric Carmen”—before the soft rock juggernaut would be swept away in the tide of “Dirty Dancing.”

May 12, 1987

Having already scored a hit with “Almost Paradise (Love Theme from ‘Footloose’),” which was performed by Mike Reno of Loverboy and Ann Wilson of Heart, Carmen was swept up in a film project that would serve as a professional renaissance. This anthemic power ballad “Hungry Eyes,” which anchored the dance lesson sequence in the 1987 smash-hit film starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

The song, which was recorded at Beachwood Studios in Beachwood, peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Top 10 singles success repeated with “Make Me Lose Control,” which was cut from the same energetic sailcloth.

The “Dancing” film and soundtrack were ubiquitous over the next couple of years, becoming a bona fide pop culture phenomenon. A second film soundtrack “More Dirty Dancing” was launched in 1988, along with the “Dirty Dancing: Live in Concert” tour—which featured Bill Medley, Merry Clayton and The Contours alongside the former Raspberry. The tour hit 90 cities in three months.

Though Carmen had generally slowed down, a sudden full circle happened in the sixth iteration of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band, the truth-in-advertising rock and roll concert spectacle featuring legendary performers and Hall of Famers. For this summer tour, the Beatle handpicked Carmen for the band along with Jack Bruce (Cream) on bass, Dave Edmunds on guitar, Simon Kirke (Free, Bad Company) co-drumming and Mark Rivera (Billy Joel) on saxophone. The tour ran May through early July 2000.

In Cleveland , the show landed Saturday, May 27 at Burke Lakefront Airport as a part of “Tops Rib Cook-Off.” Our very own Jane Scott was at the homecoming:

“During the All-Starr’s set, Carmen not only got a standing ovation for his national chart-topper ‘All by Myself,’ but could see his 2 1/2-year-old son Clayton standing on his ninth -ow chair, singing along. Carmen played both keyboards and guitar Saturday… His tenderest song was ‘Boats Against the Currents,’ but what a big thrill to hear a former Beatle play drums on the Raspberries’ ‘Go All the Way’.”

At the press conference launching the tour, Carmen said it was a “great honor” to join Starr on tour. The drummer turned and quipped, “Tell me if you still feel that way after rehearsals!”

It was just what Carmen needed, as Bryson got the band back together without Carmen, but with Smalley and McCarl as a trio for an EP called “Raspberries Refreshed” the same year.

When the House of Blues concert club chain opened a venue in Cleveland, a Raspberries reunion concert featuring all four original members was locked up. The show was explosive and led to a whole host of much ado about redux: a 2005 mini-tour, a VH1 Classic cable TV special, and an XM Satellite Radio concert broadcast. A date from the 2005 tour in Los Angeles was recorded and released in 2007 as “Live on Sunset Strip,” for which versions contained a foreword from Bruce Springsteen, and a vintage ‘70s photo of John Lennon wearing a Raspberries’ “Starting Over” sweatshirt. More shows would be scheduled over the next year, reviving the critical acclaim from the band’s heyday all over again.

“Brand New Year” is released. It is the first new recording by Carmen in over 15 years—written and recorded in both Ohio and California. It was a “gratis download” offered by Legacy Recordings (a division of Sony Music) as a special “Christmas gift” to herald the release of a 30-track career retrospective, “The Essential Eric Carmen.” That best-of package would be delivered the following March.

Eric Carmen, Raspberries Frontman and ‘All by Myself’ Singer, Dies at 74

He sang on the power-pop pioneers’ 1972 breakout hit, “Go All the Way,” before launching a successful solo career as a soft-rock crooner.

By Ron DePasquale and Alex Williams

Eric Carmen, whose plaintive vocals soared above the crunching guitars of the 1970s power-pop pioneers the Raspberries on hits like “Go All the Way,” and whose soft-rock crooning later as a solo artist propelled anthems like “All by Myself” and “Hungry Eyes,” has died. He was 74.

His death was announced on his website by his wife, Amy Carmen. She did not give a cause or specify where he died, saying only that he died “in his sleep, over the weekend.”

The Raspberries formed in Cleveland in 1970. With the preternaturally melodic Mr. Carmen churning out hits and serving as frontman, the band represented a throwback of sorts, in terms of both sound and image.

Emerging at a time when FM radio playlists tilted toward the thundering blues-rock of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple; the orchestral pomp of progressive rock bands like Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer; and the glittery glam rock of T. Rex and David Bowie, the Raspberries recalled the intricate songcraft and lush melodies of the mid-’60s pop masters.

“I had spent my youth with my head between two stereo speakers listening to the Byrds and the Beatles and later on the Beach Boys,” Mr. Carmen said in a 1991 interview published on his personal website.

Even more retro was the band’s look: They initially wore matching suits — a concept that had seemingly gone out of fashion with Herman’s Hermits, although in their case the suits looked more like harbingers of John Travolta’s discowear from “Saturday Night Fever.”

To Mr. Carmen, the relatively square look was a cheeky way to stand out in the landscape of 1970s rock. “Almost every band had hair down to their waist and beards and ripped jeans and they looked like a bunch of hippies, and I wanted to get as far away from that as I could,” he said in a 2017 interview with The Observer.

It all worked. The band burst onto the rock scene in 1972 with its debut album, titled simply “Raspberries,” which included a raspberry-scented scratch-and-sniff sticker, a hint of the sugary pop hooks contained within.

The album’s biggest hit, “Go All the Way,” contained lyrics about an implicitly young couple moving haltingly toward intercourse, which Mr. Carmen considered riskily suggestive for the pop charts of the time. “Either it’ll get banned because it’s dirty, then maybe people will buy the album to check it out,” he recalled thinking, “or if it ever gets on the radio, I think it’ll just be a hit based on the title alone.”

The song was a hit, all right, climbing to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1972. It became “the definitive power pop song of all time,” as Dave Swanson wrote on the site Ultimate Classic Rock in a 2017 appraisal. Power pop, pioneered by the early Who and others, was an emerging style that grafted bright 1960s-era vocal harmonies onto the driving guitar riffs of the ’70s.

“‘Go All the Way’ was a perfect melding of Beach Boys, Beatles and Small Faces, all delivered with a Who-like attack,” Mr. Swanson wrote. “Right here is where power pop was born.”

One of Mr. Carmen’s idols apparently approved of the band: John Lennon was photographed around that time wearing a Raspberries shirt. The band’s influence would only grow over the years, with acts as diverse as Cheap Trick, Kiss and Nirvana citing the Raspberries as an influence.

The Raspberries’ second album, “Fresh,” also released in 1972, would be their highest-charting, reaching No. 36. It featured two Top 40 hits, “I Wanna Be With You” and “Let’s Pretend.”

The Raspberries broke up in 1975, but Mr. Carmen’s time on the charts was far from over.

Eric Howard Carmen was born on Aug. 11, 1949, in Cleveland to a family of Jewish immigrants from Russia and grew up in Lyndhurst, an eastern suburb of the city. Showing a keen interest in music early on, he was studying violin with his aunt Muriel Carmen, a member of the Cleveland Orchestra, by age 6. By 11 he was playing piano and writing his own songs.

His musical destiny changed forever with the arrival of Beatlemania when he was in his midteens. “After seeing the Beatles film ‘A Hard Day’s Night,’” he later said, “I dropped everything and immediately decided I wanted to do that!”

Within months, Mr. Carmen had taught himself to bang out chords on a guitar, and he spent the next few years bouncing from band to band. While a student at John Carroll University in suburban Cleveland, he joined a popular local band called Cyrus Erie, which included the future Raspberries guitarist Wally Bryson and opened for major acts like Who and the Byrds.

Mr. Carmen and Mr. Bryson eventually joined forces with the guitarist and bassist Dave Smalley and the drummer Jim Bonfanti, veterans of another prominent local band, the Choir, to form the Raspberries.

When that band’s run finally ended, Mr. Carmen went solo with the intent of showing off his full range as a songwriter and performer.

“Unshackled from having to write for three specific guys and myself, my brain just kind of opened up,” he told The Observer. “Also, I didn’t want to make a record that sounded just like the Raspberries, because I thought, Jesus, everybody will go, ‘Oh, here he goes again, he’s just repeating what he already did.’”

He clearly accomplished that with “All by Myself,” a lush if lachrymose ballad from his first solo album, released in 1975, that was, as he put it, “certainly as far away from ‘Go All the Way’ as you could get.” The song soared to No. 2 on the Hot 100 and was eventually hailed as a soft-rock classic.

The follow-up single, “ Never Gonna Fall in Love Again, ” with its nods to Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, made it to No. 11.

In the 1980s, two of his biggest hits came from soundtracks. For “Footloose” (1984), he wrote (with Dean Pitchford) “Almost Paradise,” which was recorded by Mike Reno of Loverboy and Ann Wilson of Heart; for “Dirty Dancing (1987), he sang “Hungry Eyes” (written by John DeNicola and Franke Previte), which became an MTV staple . Another of his songs, “Make Me Lose Control,” was a No. 3 single in 1988.

Mr. Carmen’s songs would be covered by artists as varied as Shaun Cassidy ( “That’s Rock ’n’ Roll” ), Celine Dion ( “All by Myself” ) and Mr. Travolta ( “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again” ). In 1989, he began touring with Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band.

The Raspberries reunited in 2004. A show from that tour was featured on a 28-song live album, “Raspberries Pop Art Live ,” released in 2017. The album’s liner notes were written by the filmmaker and former rock journalist Cameron Crowe, who showcased “Go All the Way” in his 2000 movie, “Almost Famous.”

Complete information about Mr. Carmen’s survivors was not immediately available.

Late in his career, Mr. Carmen was sanguine about the impact of the Raspberries.

“Rock critics got it and 16-year-old girls got it, but you know, the 18-year-old guy who liked Megadeth was never going to like the same record his sister did,” he said in the 2017 interview, before recounting the first time he met Bruce Springsteen.

“I walked in his dressing room before a show and he was writing out the set list, and we both looked at each other for a couple of minutes — I was very uncomfortable being on the fan end, so I felt a little stupid. But Bruce looked at me and he goes, ‘You know, while I was writing ‘The River,’ all I listened to was Woody Guthrie and the Raspberries’ greatest hits.’”

An earlier version of this obituary referred incorrectly to the song “Go All the Way.” It was not written from the point of view of a young woman.

An earlier version of this obituary referred incorrectly at one point to the song “All by Myself.” As noted elsewhere, it was released in 1975; it is not a “1980s anthem.”

Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this obituary misstated who wrote the song “Hungry Eyes,” which was a hit for Mr. Carmen in 1987. It was written by John DeNicola and Franke Previte, not by Mr. Carmen. The earlier version also misstated the name of the Raspberries’ debut album. It was “Raspberries,” not “The Raspberries.”
