Beach Boyz Entertainment — Local services in Cuyahoga Falls

I have been thinking for awhile now on how I planned to go about this review. We originally booked the Beach Boyz due to their agreement for a discounted rate with our original venue. It seemed like a no brainer to just go with them as it was a very cost effective option and they came recommended to us. However, we ultimately for various reasons changed venues 6 months out from our wedding date but decided to go on ahead and stick with the Beach Boyz since our wedding date was quickly approaching and they seemed like a good company to work with. We met with Rich a few weeks out from our wedding to go over everything from the ceremony to bridal entrances to reception music. I came very prepared with a detailed list of the music I wanted to play for each portion of our ceremony as well for bridal entrances, grand entrance, first dance, etc. and even had a list of songs we like as inspiration for the music to play at the reception to give an idea of what we liked. He assured us that with such a prepared list things would be easy and smooth. We left that meeting feeling confident that we were in good hands with them. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we emailed them a cocktail hour song suggestion list as well to be even further prepared and within this email we let them know that we wanted to change the song for our grand entrance. We received an email reply saying this change was made to our file. Flash forward to our wedding day. All went well with the music for the ceremony. However, when we got to the reception, that’s when some issues came about. It turned out our grand entrance song had never been changed despite what we had been told but in that moment we just had to go with it which we weren’t thrilled about but if that had been the worst thing, we would’ve let it go. However, when we got to our first dance, that’s what really has us upset. Our DJ, Isaac, only allowed our first dance to be about a minute long before he faded out the music-something we had not discussed at all. Our father/daughter dance and mother/son dances both ended up being much longer than our own first dance. As any bride and groom knows, your wedding day already feels like it goes by in the blink of an eye so to have a moment like that cut short without us asking for that, it was very upsetting. The night went on and we got to our bridal party’s speeches. The DJ provided them with a microphone that began cutting out during our best man’s speech. Our groomsmen who went after him was basically unheard by the crowd because the microphone kept cutting out. I still cannot understand why he did not try and stop them in their speeches and take an opportunity to swap out their microphones. There were no other major issues as the night went on, we just would have liked to have seen the DJ have a bit more personality and be more engaging to get the crowd going. All in all, my advice to future brides, even if you feel like you’re going into your wedding day over prepared with information provided to this DJ, you may want to prepare yourself for some disappointment. While they were nice to work with, it makes my heart sad that some of those once in a lifetime moments were impacted by our DJ’s decision to cut our first dance short and a...

We chose beach boyz to Dj our 9/19/20 wedding after seeing them do a great job at our friends wedding. Rich was initially great to work with. We came to find out that typically, you never get to meet or speak with the person DJing your wedding until the day of. We weren’t very comfortable with this, and Rich allowed us to touch base with our DJ before our big day which I appreciated. I was able to review things with him and go over important details. Our pre-wedding meeting was with Rob who was great as well, but not present on our big day. Dalton was our DJ for the day. Because we didn’t use the DJ for our ceremony, Rich said our only option was to have him set up in the middle of our cocktail hour (while our live musician was performing) unless we were willing to pay more money. My wedding coordinator discussed with him if the dj could just drop the equipment off early and show up as scheduled and Rich said no unless we paid more. We requested 80s love ballads for our dinner, which he played maybe 1 of. It was a bizarre hodgepodge of frank sinatra and Mumford and sons? He completely ruined our anniversary dance by playing the wrong song and not making the appropriate announcements, even after both my husband and I tried to help him. My brother and I had a special dance which he also played the wrong song for and he called my brother by the wrong name. Our DJ never checked in with us and it was just a lot of added stress a couple doesn’t need on their wedding night. The rest of the night wasn’t terrible, but it honestly seemed like he just put on a Spotify play list while chilling out in the corner which I could’ve done myself. There was no real hype or “emcee” vibe. It was the total opposite from what I witnessed at my friends wedding. I was so upset that I called Rich the next morning and after discussion, I was promised a partial refund which I have yet to receive. My heart really is broken because I was initially so confident in this vendor. Just know if you choose them, it’s all dependent on who you get in their 20+ DJs and you won’t know who that will be until the day of....unless you want to pay extra to pick a particular DJ. It really seems they’re about the money here...

A few people in the wedding industry recommended Beach Boyz Entertainment to us for our wedding. We even paid extra for a specific experienced DJ (Rich). After our first virtual meeting we were comfortable and excited to work with this company. The company is ran by a manager (Bill) who you speak with for scheduling purposes. On our two week meeting, we drove 45 minutes and our DJ did not show up. Bill held the meeting with us and was very rude. First he addressed us by the wrong name and with the wrong wedding file, then he rushed us through the meeting and left us wanting to find a different DJ vender. We reached out personally to our specific DJ and made other arrangements to meet him in person. Rich made us feel comfortable enough to proceed and seemed like a trustworthy, experienced DJ so we had nothing to worry about. He asked me to send all of our special songs to Bill and he would receive them from him. A day before our wedding, I reached out to Rich to ensure he received all of our special songs (songs from my grandfathers band) he hadn't received any of them. On our wedding day, the wrong songs were played during our ceremony, our entrance song was not cut the way we asked it to be, and the wrong songs were played for our first dance and the father and brides first dance. During cocktail hour he "accidently" played all of our first dance songs. Rich was apologetic, however, when you are a reputable company and people pay extra for an experienced DJ this is not the experience you expect to have. We did not feel like this company put any effort into making our wedding day special. It was unorganized, in personable, rushed, and disappointing. It almost felt like we were a disservice to them. I wish we would have went with our gut feeling after the 2 weeks out meeting and switched...
