“We could not be happier with our choice to have Ivan as our DJ. He was cordial, organized, friendly, and fun. He met with us beforehand to go over logistics and preferences but was totally flexible when things shifted on the actual day (as they always do). His music taste is fantastic and was perfectly suited to our recommendations for the reception (and we are both very particular about music). During our meeting before the wedding, we were very specific in our requests, both of songs to play and to avoid— he understood the themes and picked a great set list to dance the night away. Our guests packed out the dance floor and still talk about how fun the dancing was at our wedding, thanks to Ivan. I can’t speak highly enough of DJ Ivan!”

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.

From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our wedding reception truly unforgettable. Right from our initial conversation, it was evident that Scott was not just a talented DJ but also genuinely passionate about his company and cared about his clients needs. Scott and John took the time to understand our musical preferences, reception timeline, and special requests, ensuring that every detail was accounted for. On the day of our wedding, Scott and John's professionalism and expertise were on full display. The reception flowed seamlessly, thanks to their skillful emceeing and perfectly timed song choices. Their ability to read the crowd and keep the dance floor alive was nothing short of remarkable, and our guests were raving about the incredible atmosphere they created. The photobooth provided by Sound Precision Entertainment was an absolute hit! Our guests had a blast taking fun and memorable pictures throughout the night. It added an extra layer of excitement to the celebration and gave everyone a keepsake to cherish. One of the most touching moments of the evening was when Scott gave a heartfelt shout-out to my grandmother, who was gracefully tearing up the dance floor in her wheelchair (that one of our groomsmen decked out with lights). 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. Working with Sound Precision Entertainment was an absolute pleasure. They were responsive, accommodating, and open to our ideas, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their dedication to providing exceptional service and exceeding our expectations was evident in every aspect of their work. The impact of their talent and enthusiasm cannot be overstated. Our wedding reception was filled with laughter, joy, and unforgettable memories, thanks to Scott and John's incredible entertainment. If you are in search of DJs who will not only keep the dance floor packed but also go the extra mile to make your wedding day truly special, Sound Precision Entertainment is the perfect choice. Their commitment to making your celebration one-of-a-kind is unparalleled. Thank you, Scott and John, for making our wedding reception an absolute blast and for going above and beyond to ensure it was everything we had hoped for and more. You played an integral role in creating a day filled with love and happiness, and we are forever grateful for your outstanding service.”

I've had over 18 years of experience in DJ/Mc work and Radio broadcasting. In that time, I've come to the conclusion that DJing Weddings is my favorite thing to do.

I'm a modest family man, with commitments too, two boys and a fiance. I know personally the importance of a wedding day! I'm compassionate and empathetic, and in the same time a silly, outspoken extrovert. Being very transparent, feel free to reach out and ask more!

“My wife and I have nothing but praise for Josh and the DJ Topedo team! From the initial inquiry all the way through our wedding day, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Josh is incredibly kind, professional, understanding, responsive, and organized, which made for a seamless planning process and provided a sense of comfortability throughout. He took the time and effort to get to know us as a couple and it showed on wedding day as he incorporated everything that we had envisioned. The music planning app streamlines the process from pre-ceremony all the way through reception. He created an incredible mix that spanned multiple genres and decades which brought all the nostalgia with it. We also purchased the photobooth and sparkler send-off as add-ons. Our attendant, Eric, was awesome and his outgoing personality brought even more fun to the booth! Josh provided the sparklers for the send-off and coordinated with our photographer to ensure a smooth exit. Josh and the team are forever family, and we’ll recommend them to anyone and everyone 1,000 times over!”

“We had Terrell as our DJ for our wedding and could not be more happy with him! It was a little nerve racking having a meeting so close to the big day but Terrell and Derek both made us feel comfortable that everything would go smoothly. On the day of the wedding Terrell was at a venue he has never worked at before but set up and communication was seamless. He kept the party going and had the dance floor packed all night (one of the most important things for us that night). We didn't give him a playlist; just more like some guidelines and he did an amazing job. He came up to me and my husband to ensure we were happy (and even fed!). He communicated with me and the photographer to ensure all the big moments were captured before the photographer had to leave which was so nice because the thought to do that had not even occurred to me. We can not wait to recommend them more to anyone getting married or throwing an event. Thank you so much Terrell and Derek!!!!”

Devin Arrington, Virtuoso Violinist

5.0

Solo performer
Starts at $450
Serves North Canton, OH for additional fees

Pittsburgh's Premier Solo Wedding Violinist! I'm a professional, award-winning violinist and composer with tons of wedding experience. Whether you wish for elegant classical music, toe-tapping fiddle tunes, or a favorite popular song, I can help you find that perfect sound! I offer high-end wedding sound at an affordable price. The instrument on which I perform is a gorgeous sounding violin made by MacArthur "genius" grant winner, Joseph Curtin. For outdoor weddings I use a Fishman SA330X Performance Audio System which provides terrific amplification without sacrificing the purity of acoustic violin.

“Devin was the perfect touch for our outdoor ceremony. There are not adequate words to describe his musicianship and talent. He went out of his way to make sure that he played exactly what we wanted. Devin also played at our reception and asked our guests if they wanted to hear something specific. My Austrian side of the family asked him to play "Edelweiss," which he promptly began to play. I can not rate this musician high enough. He also played the music for our first dance, which he learned, recorded at different speeds, added bars to the recording, and again, went out of his way to deliver the greatest day of our lives. I highly recommend Devin, and if I ever need a violinist/fiddler again, Devin is the only person I am going to call. As far as professionalism goes, Devin arrived early, and had everything that he needed. He also gave us options for what effects we wanted to come from the speaker. He was quick to respond to emails and we never had any problems getting in touch with him. This musician is a real professional.”
