We heard from multiple people – guests young and old – that this was the most fun that they had in well over two years. We absolutely loved it, and so did our guests. Then, he started playing “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” and everyone went wild. 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. My husband and I forgot to eat our own wedding cake because we were having so much fun dancing. We appreciated that he mixed the songs, so we were able to pack in a lot of hits and keep the guests interested. 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. That’s exactly what we got from DJ Eric Smith. 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. If you want a vendor that is a wedding expert and will give you peace of mind, and a band that will blow your guests away with a diverse set list and sheer talent, look no further than CMG, Erin Rossi and The Element. We also used Cleveland Music Group for ceremony audio and a photo booth, both of which were handled flawlessly. On top of that, she was an awesome emcee that set the tone of the night from the first moment she spoke. She’s a great communicator, took time to listen and understand our goals, and build a set list that matched our vibe perfectly. The vocals were incredible, the horns were a great added touch, and the setlist was AWESOME! Erin Rossi, who coordinated with us, was incredible to work with. Many commented that it was the best wedding they had ever been to and the band was a huge contributing factor. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests raved about how incredible the music was. I strongly believe that music is what really makes a wedding (or any party for that matter) and The Element delivered in every way possible. I would recommend The Orchestra without any reservation! Our guests commented all night about the “great band” and especially our out-of -town guests were thrilled to learn it was a local band. When they took breaks they had great music ready to go so there was never a quiet moment on the floor (except for slower songs requested by the bride and groom). They knew exactly how to get everyone moving and dancing, and were great about anticipating the bride and groom (and scary but true, the parents) being lifted in chairs while everyone circled around. The Orchestra nailed it and our dancing went on for a long and celebratory time. Our wedding was a Jewish one and so the traditional circle dance, the Hora, is really important. Someone started a long conga line and it was a riot. Especially fun is the surprise (for the guests) when the horn players come out onto the dance floor amid the guests. Every song had people on the dance floor and the energy was super high. The Orchestra played for our reception and the band was outstanding. They played as people arrived, during the processional and recessional – everything was beautiful. Easy to walk down the aisle to and also very recognizable.
