DJ Liza was by far one of the best wedding DJs, and I’m so grateful that we were able to book her for our big day!! Coming the night before to our rehearsal dinner was by far one of the most helpful things she contributed to our big day— she gave so many helpful tips, and ensured that our day went as smoothly as possible. Liza went out of her way during the day of to make sure that my husband and I had a good time!! She was able to pull my playlists from Spotify, made sure we had drinks for every toast, and adjust last minute when we needed to change something. She was affordable, fun, and genuinely cared about our guests and us! We got so many compliments on the music and dancefloor. DJ Liza is the best!!

By Request Mobile Dj Service

  • Starts at $990
  • Serves Kent, OH

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!

Tyson was AMAZING for our wedding. He created awesome playlists to match our taste for dinner and cocktail hour, he queued up all of our music for our big moments like the recessional and our dances perfectly, and he went out of his way to make a specific mix for my husband and his mom's first dance. He also managed the acoustics of The Arcade beautifully. Our dance floor was packed all night, and guests complimented us the next morning on how great Tyson's transitions were. Since the first day we booked with Tyson, all the way up to our last song, we had zero doubts in choosing him. :)

We LOVED the music Matt played at our wedding party. He was seamless is transitioning genres from when the party first started to end of the night. I had SO many friends at the party come up and say they were loving the music. Best part was he didn't play a single one of those classic wedding anthem songs that everyone has heard a million times (which was our worry). He nailed it, couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our special night.

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. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.
