I can't recommend Ivan and Synapse Entertainment enough. Ivan read the room perfectly, knew what songs to cut short and what to play out, and was the perfect blend of mixing and cutting and just playing the hits. We got compliments all night about how good the DJ was and how packed the dance floor was. These guys will make your wedding better.

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.

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 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.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire.
