DJ Eric Smith

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!

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!

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

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!!

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.

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).

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 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!

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!!

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!!!!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

Eric made sure everything was smooth and played the right music to get everyone dancing!!

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!
