Liza was truly amazing!! She was so patient with us, she unstood us as a couple. She knew I was so stressed picking out the music for the day. She was more than willing to sit and try to match songs up with what we already had picked out. She had found the best places for us to walk out to them . Liza even made a wedding day timeline for us! She had so many great suggestions for our day (ballroom blitz, her drone to take a photo, certain dance with people, a pho exit for photos, the list could go on and on.) Before you even meet with Liza she sends a huge list of wedding day tips which was a life saver for me. Lastly which was so unexpected, Liza was there making sure I was okay, and drinking water! What DJ does that?!? And then after the ceremony she greated me with a tequila sunrise. I have so many amazing things to say about Liza. Thank you so much for making our day flow and keeping the party alive.

By Request Mobile Dj Service

Akron, OH
  • DJ
  • Starts at $990

We understand you want your event to be fun, yet elegant and classy – but most of all stress-free. We’re dedicated to putting on a fun, yet elegant show for you and your guests. We don’t make unbecoming jokes, perform cheesy acts or display tasteless advertisements.

Streamcle is a preferred partner of By Request. We provide Livestreaming, event photography and custom production at many of their weddings and events. One of the best things about By Request is that their Djs are in constant contact with all vendors throughout the day, and they keep the guests informed too so no one misses a moment. By Request is small enough to provide a one of a kind experience but large enough to be able to staff and furnish equipment to multiple locations and large events on any given day. Couples and hosts are treated to custom service so no two events are alike. Their inventory is modern, clean, well maintained and frequently upgraded. We look forward to future events together!

I cannot even put in to words how thankful I am that we had Tyson as our DJ at our wedding!! Our day was absolutely perfect and a large part of that was due to Tyson’s organization, creativity and fun spirit. We have not stopped receiving messages asking who our DJ was and for his contact information because he was just THAT GOOD!!! The dance floor was so crowded and not a single guest left early because Tyson curated the most perfect party through music. He kindly listened to all of our silly requests for song choices and also was able to gauge the crowd for what music they enjoyed. There was not a single song played that the whole room wasn’t dancing to and I was afraid to leave the dance floor to get dessert or a drink for fear of missing out on whatever the next song was about to be. If you are even thinking about using Tyson to DJ your event, do not hesitate. It was the best decision we made!!

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They were at our wedding on 9/2 at Swan Lake Event Center and they made it the best, most amazing party of my entire life. Our dance floor was packed all night! They were playing guitar on the pianos, did great crowd work, they also provided music for our ceremony. Greg had a few conversations with us leading up to the big day and was so easy to talk to about what we wanted. I have continued to get compliments about how awesome they were and my cousin has booked them for his wedding after seeing them perform at mine. I would go to a concert just to see them play again.

I infuse sets that varies in genre, style & eras. I strive to provide a set that is enjoyable for all ages. I want to bring you a set that you won't regret and most importantly I want you to have the time of your life.

We hired DJ Sunset for Great Lakes Brewing Co's Halloween Bash in 2024, and it as by far the best decision we made. He not only went above and beyond by coming in costume and providing lighting, he tore the house down! Knows how to read the crowd, know how to keep the dance floor going and the people sweating. 10 out of 10 would recommend and plan to utilize his services again this year.
