I would 100% recommend the Cleveland Keys to anyone! They went above and beyond for our special day, and made our reception a blast. Everyone danced all night long, and Greg and the band even learned special songs for us. We had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid, and the Cleveland Keys happily worked with us to reschedule. Greg and his team are extremely professional and SO NICE. They made everything super easy -- from our initial intro phone call to the day of -- we did not have to lift a finger, and everything was perfect. I was so happy we had them perform at our wedding. I truly had the best night of my life thanks to them.

DJ Sunset

  • DJ
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Rocky River, OH

I have loved music since a kid. I grew up listening to old Motown, Michael Jackson, Prince, OutKast, Wu-Tang Clan, Jimi Hendrix and Hall & Oates. I watched Video Soul on BET and of course I was a MTV kid like any good 80's baby. I became the resident DJ for 78th Street Studios "Third Friday Art Walk", courtesy of Northcoast Promotions in 2022. 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.

It was a beautiful gesture that made her feel so special and included in the celebration. We truly appreciate the thoughtfulness and compassion shown by Scott and John.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tyson and Sam at Skinny Boy Media were one of my favorite vendors at my wedding. It is so so hard to choose a DJ because you've been to other weddings and had trauma from terrible DJ's that play the same old songs that are awful. Or they don't announce things at the right time or just don't communicate. This was my fear. I was recommended Skinny Boy Media from my photographer in Cincy. Then I noticed he was in Cleveland and I am located in South Central Ohio (where there are no good DJ's). I was so nervous that I was going to have a massive upcharge due to travelling 4.5 hours. I reached out and got a quote from him and discussed the type of wedding I wanted with the music and flow of things. He communicated amazing right from the start and was transparent in pricing and had no problem whatsoever travelling to Southern Ohio/Northern KY. Whew! Then I dragged my feet because this is a large decision. The website of DJ's are hard to tell what they are like. It's not like you can go to a wedding they are at and see if you like it, haha! But then as I looked on a Facebook group of Ohio Bride's to Be I noticed his name kept getting referenced. Which was a good hint. Then I talked to him further about uplighting and Photobooth services for the night. I kept delaying again... Then he reached out to me again telling me someone else wanted my date (July 8) if I didn't want it. That sealed the deal and I paid the deposit online. My husband and I completed a detailed form he provided on Google Docs to say what songs we wanted during what time. And what songs we did not want! We had a video chat with him describing ourselves, the vibe we wanted for our wedding, etc. We are 28yrs and wanted a middle school dance party vibe. I also didn't want songs switched every other minute, but transitioned nicely with reading the crowd. I also asked for some Disney songs during dinner. Man did he deliver!!! It was a party!! And he politely communicated with me during the night, asking if I was ready to begin the dances, the speeches, let dinner tables go to the buffet, etc. We also added a game from 4H camp called Bring-Me and he had it organized on his iPad, let my sister run the game on the mic, etc. The photo booth also sent photos to each person and I got a google drive link to all of them. I chose the Ivy wall with props. I did not choose to have a glow light in the photo background, but that is an option. The 30 uplights literally pulled everything together in the long room! (70ft x 30ft). He was on time, stayed till the end as expected. He also helped create a super special memory for my husband and I that I didn't even plan for! At the end (11:30pm) he had everyone go outside or towards the end of the building and he played "At Last" with just my husband and I. It was so perfect to end the night. If you made it this far...I hope I've convinced you to HIRE SKINNY BOY MEDIA!!! He will communicate like you want, provide a clear contract, provide uplights & a photo booth, travel to your venue without complications, keep things running smooth and does a great job!!

We saw Follow the Sun at a friend's wedding in Cleveland and had SO much fun on the dance floor that we hired FTS for our own out-of-state wedding! They easily navigating planning with us- even for an out of town wedding- and even provided valuable insights on the flow of the day. Their acoustic trio played beautifully for our ceremony and the band rocked it for the reception. They are extremely talented singers and musicians and play a variety of songs- EVERY SONG IS SO GOOD- they will keep you and your guests on the dance floor all night long! They have fun and are flexible to last minute changes. They are organized- sound and lighting were ideal- and know how to make your special day extra fun.
