As a semi-retired DJ myself with over 45 years experience spinning in clubs and doing private gigs like weddings, reunions, corporate affairs, etc...I think I know a good professional DJ from an amateur. Brandon Stray is among the top tier in northeast Ohio and beyond! What makes him and his company stand out is their ability to custom tailor the entertainment package to YOU, just as the company name implies. The staff includes DJs who each have their own niche and will be matched to the style of your event from soft cocktail to classic disco to hard-rockin' to country-western to karaoke as well! Be careful of DJs who bring home speakers and inadequate sound gear and try to fill a room with clean audio. If something doesn't break, the distorted audio will leave you with a headache. AAYE uses only professional gear from companies like RCF, Electro-Voice, JBL, and others. And it goes beyond just music. To complete the atmosphere, Brandon has one of the largest light shows around, rivaling that of some major national acts. Or he can create an intimate mood just as easily from his huge inventory of lighting fixtures and effects. So if you don't want to worry about this critical aspect of your next event and really impress your guests, you need to talk to Brandon. He takes personal pride and attention no matter how large or small your need and will create not just an event but an experience! Take it from me because he does it just the...

For example, I had someone requesting that I do the worm on the dance floor, and James caught on and played "She's a lady" by Tom Jones as I was forming a circle of guests in preparation to do the worm. When I requested a song, he played it immediately--talk about instant gratification! He even came up to me with 1 hour left and asked if he missed any songs that I wanted to hear. He was so kind and professional! I had so many guests coming up to me the next few days after the wedding, asking who our DJ was and how...
Read moreI cannot say enough good things about All About You! We chose to use them for our DJ and the floor was packed all night long! Picking a DJ was huge for us. We love music and rarely leave the dance floor at weddings, but we also wanted to customize what music was played. We chose to work with DJ GQ (Gabriel), and he was amazing! He was patient with us during a couple phone calls we had requested leading up to the wedding day. I love how they have an option for customizing your playlist from their online library. Any songs they did have Gabriel was able to find (cue the Polish music we had requested) this got everyone up to the dance floor!
We had also chosen to add on the up lighting and a customized monogram which both looked amazing.
The communication with Jeff during the initial planning process was smooth...
