Randy did an excellent job as MC and DJ for my friends' wedding reception. He came with a full…read moresound system set up, dance party lighting, wireless mic, and was able to hunt down all the odd, random songs that we needed for the event. To start, Randy played the elegant entrance music during the ceremony. He also put a lapel mic on both the groom and the officiant. This was wonderful detail that most facilities overlook. All of our guests were able to hear the couple's vows, even the folks in the very back. Our dinner was buffet style, and each table came outfitted with a name card of a television show. Guests listened for their theme song and could go up for food when the song was played. Not only was this a fun idea, but Randy was able to find my friends' eccentric shows, like Golden Girls, Reading Rainbow, and the theme song to Oprah. In all, about 30 television songs were queued. He even let the catchy themes play out, like Friends and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Months prior to the wedding, when the invitations were sent out, guests were encouraged to log on to the Everlasting Sounds website to request songs. After the list was compiled, the bride and groom reviewed the music and discarded the songs they didn't like. Most of what was on the request list made it to the celebration. It was exciting to hear your song played, plus it made for a fun variety of music. We danced to everything: The Killers, Cupid Shuffle, Elvis Presley, Apple Bottom Jeans, N'SYNC, the Pocahontas theme, and my favorite, Time Warp from Rocky Horror. During the festivities, like cake cutting and garter toss, Randy went along with the groom's shenanigans and got everyone excited and laughing through his announcing. If you're looking for a DJ north of Cincinnati, Everlasting Sounds can't be beat!

We worked, better words, teamed up with this crew and they made our event amazing. We had…read moreJennifer & Sean and there are no words to describe how sweet they were. They made sure we had drinks, the music was exactly what we wanted, they kept the party going coordinating every moment, and they were so professional. Worth every penny, which is totally reasonable. Love this team -- so much more than a DJ service! Thank you for making our day perfect!

Our experience with Party Pleasers was a bit of a journey, but ultimately, they delivered where it…read moremattered most. To be completely honest, we had a rough start. I initially worked with Jeff Heidelberg, and unfortunately, communication was very frustrating. Multiple calls and emails went unanswered, and with the wedding getting closer--about a month out--it definitely added unnecessary stress. Thankfully, everything turned around at the right time. During a meeting at Manor House, I found out Party Pleasers was onsite and had the opportunity to connect with Tasha. She was wonderful from the moment we spoke--responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in understanding our vision. She followed through on everything she said she would do and took the time to meet with me to ensure we were aligned. The results reflected that care. The atrium looked exactly like the vision we had provided--it was beautifully executed. The head table was also done very nicely and fit the overall look perfectly. While I don't believe the uplighting was fully in place as expected, what was done still looked good and added to the ambiance. The photo settee wasn't quite what we originally envisioned, but it still worked well in the space. The large repurposed floral pieces from Robin Wood Flowers really helped bring that area together and created a beautiful effect. Overall, while the beginning was stressful, Tasha truly turned the experience around and made sure the final outcome was something we could be happy with.

Don't hesitate! Book PartyPleasers now! We didn't realize how integral a DJ would be for the…read moresuccess of our day, and in retrospect we are so glad we went with PartyPleasers! They were by far the most professional and personable in the initial meetings, and although they were a little pricier than we were hoping to spend it ended up being worth every penny. Once signing the contract we were immediately given access to an app called Vibo which was our one stop planning shop! In the app we answered somewhere around 100 questions about our wedding day. I know it sounds excessive, but it really helped us in our planning to think about things that wouldn't have come up naturally and also ensured we could give a complete and total picture of the day to our DJ. We were also able to input song choices for all the special moments in the app, as well as share a link to enable guests to add their requests which was fun! We were assigned Alex Eveslage as our DJ and he was AMAZING! We met about a week prior to the wedding and discussed the details from A to Z including timeline and outline for the night. Alex ensured that the whole evening flowed smoothly and perfectly matched the vibe of our crowd. Our dance floor was packed the entire time open dancing was going on and our guests couldn't stop raving about how much fun our wedding was! Alex continued to check in with us throughout the night to ensure everything was going well, and he even indulged a ridiculous special request from me. Can't recommend PartyPleasers enough - make sure to ask for Alex when you book!

I cannot emphasize this enough, BOOK DJ L-TRAIN!!! I heard Nemar playing at e+o a few years before…read moremy husband and I got engaged and we were impressed with his set all night. I went up to him that night to get his information knowing that if I ever got married, I had to book this man. The most overwhelming comment about my wedding was how amazing the music was. We heard, "by far the best wedding music," "that DJ is incredible," and so much more. Music is the most important thing to get a party going -- which is what a wedding is! The biggest party you'll ever throw. Nemar works well with you to understand exactly the vibe you're looking for and exceeds all of your expectations. He is the most talented, genuine, fun DJ I've ever encountered and he ABSOLUTELY knows how to get the party going. He's all around, just an incredible person to have at your day and throughout the planning process. We also rented our lighting through Maize Music and it was exceptional-- it set the tone of the evening and made the space feel full, exciting, intimate, and lively. If you want your dream wedding, BOOK DJ L-TRAIN! The absolute best of the best, we LOVE him!

DO NOT BOOK MAIZE MUSIC. Untrustworthy. They showed up over 2 hours late to our wedding reception…read morewhich caused the entire evening to be altered as it started late, they were not present for the bridal party entrance, we had to have a friend introduce us and play music from Spotify until they arrived, etc. It was my worst nightmare as a bride for something like this to happen the night of our wedding. We were promised, in writing over a text message that I have proof of and verbally on the phone, a full refund minus the uplighting that we added to our package. We got married in 2021 and still have not seen a single penny. Nemar has refused to return phone calls, text messages, emails and has completely ghosted us. I would not recommend Maize Music because of the unreliability, untrustworthiness and lies they have told. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM.

Working with Toad Productions, especially DJ Phil, was an absolute highlight. I've always loved…read moreworking with this team, and experiencing it as a bride only confirmed how incredible they are. They make the entire process fun and effortless, and the day itself feels completely seamless. I had endless messages from guests about how amazing the music and overall vibes were. My dance floor was PACKED all night, and that is 100% because of Phil's energy, talent, and ability to read a crowd. They are professional, communicative, and truly know how to elevate an event. Even without knowing I'm in the industry, they made the day feel so special - and I would recommend them to any of my clients in a heartbeat.

I highly highly recommend booking him as your DJ.

Our experience with William and The Music Concierge was grossly unprofessional and disappointing…read morefrom the beginning to the end. We booked The Music Concierge in October of 2022 (and paid in full) for our wedding in April 2023. We were assigned a DJ named Matt, and were excited because of all the services offered, along with "unlimited phone consultations". We waited for some time to hear from Matt, and didn't think much of it because we had so much time. However, a couple months before our event, we started reaching out to our DJ Matt and never heard anything back - multiple emails and phone calls went unanswered. We finally managed to reach out to William, the owner of the company, who was apparently as mystified as we were and had no idea Matt had not been communicating with us (great oversight!) and informed me that this particular DJ is a singer in a band that was on tour... cool story. William said all the right words and apologies, but we got the feeling that he really couldn't care less. He halfheartedly suggested a competitor and tried to connect us with them, but this suggested person has done 3 weddings in the past (according to the guy's Facebook), so suffice it to say we didn't trust The Music Concierge, William, or anyone he recommended (especially someone so new). This was a WEEK before our wedding date. A. WEEK. OUT. We ended up reaching out to some friends and our wedding coordinator, who managed to find us a very reputable replacement for only a couple bucks more. We booked, had the contract, and paid in the space of 24 hours (and on a Saturday!). The best part of the interaction with William and The Music Concierge was how fast he issued our full refund. I know good companies can make mistakes like this, but we were completely let down by these folks, and didn't feel they really wanted to make it right. Will never use or recommend this company ever again, and if you are in the market for a DJ, I would give some serious second thoughts before booking with The Music Concierge. They put us in a really bad position, and there are many other reputable companies out there.

I called the owner to discuss the situation - he referred to me as a "girl" with unrealistic expectations when I asked if the DJ even read the schedule/timeline/details we sent over. I was then a mean girl because I was trying to figure out who was responsible for a lost hour of the night, "a mean girl who was trying to extort money" even though I hadn't asked for a refund, I was just trying to figure out if the DJ or Venue was responsible. Mark McFadden, screamed and yelled on the phone because I had the audacity to suggest his DJ did a bad job. Literally the most unprofessional experience I have ever had, and honestly misogynistic and weird, I would not recommend to brides.

We had McFadden music DJ our wedding in March 2019. We got married at the Newport Syndicate, where…read moreMcFadden's has a special partnership to use a high-quality sound system that they have installed there. During the prep phase, Mark did a great job setting our expectations for how the reception was going to go, incorporating the things we wanted, and giving us some honest feedback about some of our song choices. I had a song I had written which I wanted to sing and play on the guitar as a surprise for my wife. Mark went out of his way to find a time that we could meet at the venue without her knowing, to figure out how I could plug in to the sound system and do a sound check. On our wedding day, Mark was very present, making sure we were in sync on what was happening during the ceremony. He got everybody's name right during the entrances (surprising how many DJ's I've seen get that wrong!), and the performance of my song went off without a hitch. He kept the energy high throughout the reception, and kept people on the dance floor right up until the end. The sound system sounded amazing. Overall, we had a great time, and would highly recommend McFadden, especially if you're getting married at the Syndicate.

I highly recommend Old School Entertainment. The depth and breadth of Phil Tucker's knowledge of…read moremusic across all genres is simply impressive. I traveled pretty far to have my wedding in the Cincinnati area, and I can definitively say after the fact that having Phil be a part of it was essential. We explained to him how we wanted our wedding and brunch reception to look and 'feel'--which was pretty abstract--and Phil NAILED it! Not only with the music, but also by reading the crowd and anticipating the day's events with precision. No easy feat given that we built in contingencies and asked him to look for our cues. Just as important, leading up to our big day Phil always availed himself for our questions/requests - and was real asset in our ceremony and reception planning. A true professional and a master of his craft!
