We've created over 1,200 personalized, unforgettable wedding receptions since 1996, and are favored by numerous banquet halls, photographers, and other wedding vendors. It's safe to say that weddings are our specialty! We know what it will take to give you the magical day you've always dreamed about!
We like to meet all of our brides and grooms in person so we can discover what their specific needs are. Then, about two weeks prior to the wedding, we will either meet with again or call the bride and groom to make any changes and finalize all of the details, to ensure that everything is absolutely perfect for them!
As you arrive to your reception, your DJ will be waiting for you outside. He will then introduce you and your bridal party as you make your grand entrance to be greeted by your loved ones. He will also maintain the proper flow of events throughout the entire evening, and will interact with the crowd as much or as little as you want him to! He'll work as a team with your photographer, videographer, caterer, and hall manager to ensure that EVERYTHING rolls along according to plan!

Hi Brian!
You were excellent! You had terrific interaction with our guests. I was originally concerned that people wouldn’t dance but you kept the energy level high and everyone on the floor all night! The way you mixed certain songs together was really nice too. I was also a little worried about the timing of our First Dance because we had certain starting and stopping points in the song, but you did it just the way we wanted it!
You gave us great service at a great price, and we feel like we got more than we paid for. You were everything we were looking for in a DJ, and I would recommend you to anyone! Thanks again for helping to make our wedding great! -Alexia & Brady Coffman, wedding ceremony & reception at Nazareth Hall, 2/20/10
Brian,
Thank you so much for the incredible job you did at our wedding reception! Our families LOVED the music! Your interaction with our guests was wonderful and you played every song we requested! We also loved how you came up to us throughout the night and let us know what was going to be happening event-wise.
Working with you was worry-free and your pricing is excellent for all that you did for us! We couldn’t have been happier with you and your company! We will refer others to you and tell them to DEFINITELY request Brian as their DJ! Thanks again for everything! It was our perfect day and you helped make it happen! -Emily & Trevor Montgomery, wedding reception at Sunrise Park & Banquet Center, 12/19/09 Brian,
Steve did an amazing job! We couldn't ask for better performance from a DJ! He did a great job of communicating with us about the timeline and what was going to happen next. That really put us at ease and let us enjoy the night. We also appreciated that Steve didn't bring a huge sign or banner with him, or constantly “plug” your company like so many other DJs we had seen. He just had some business cards up at his table, which was fine with us.
He also kept people on the dance floor all night. We think he read our crowd very well and was great at mixing up the songs in a way to keep people moving. The train that ended with a dance-off circle was a ton of fun and will be a lasting memory for all of us!
Our meeting with you when we discussed everything went really really well and left us feeling good about Ultimate Nights from the start. The online planner and request list was really helpful and easy to use. The list of recommended “formal event” songs was great to have, and it was very comforting to be able to set up a list of songs to play. We actually liked only picking a few “must play” songs and letting Steve pick the rest either from our “play if possible” list or similar songs which he felt were appropriate.
We also really appreciated the upgraded sound system that you gave us but didn't charge us for. The music really filled up the room without ever feeling overpowering. Overall, our experience with Ultimate Nights was great from start to finish, and we would heartily recommend your company (and especially Steve) to anyone!
Thank you again Brian and Steve for being such an important part of our wedding. You played a huge part in our day going so well and everyone having such a good time. We really can't thank you enough! Best regards! -Brad & Alexis Fischer, wedding reception at Holland Gardens, 10/17/09
Hi Brian,
Our reception was excellent thanks to you! You had just the right amount of interaction with our guests. Plus, you played all of our “must play” songs and everyone enjoyed all the different styles of music you played! Even the dinner music was the perfect mix! We also really appreciated that you got to know who our special family members were and how you invited them out by name onto the center of the dance floor! I can’t believe you got my dad to dance!
Also, when my mother-in-law wanted you to play a few special songs, you handled it well and were accommodating to her. We absolutely got way more than we paid for with you, and would tell anyone looking for a professional wedding entertainer to book you immediately and not wait! Thank you so much for being a part of our big day! -Nichole & Jeff Zimmer, wedding reception at Belmont Country Club, 10/10/09
Hi Brian,
Joel did a very good job for us. He played the songs we asked him to and he did great at communicating with us about upcoming activities throughout the event. He even asked if we needed drinks a few times as well. It was nice to receive the CD at the end of the night of our important songs too. The client web page was very helpful in planning our reception and Joel followed the schedule perfectly. Also, throughout our planning, whenever we had a question for you it was answered very quickly and we appreciated it! Thanks! -Joe & Janelle Lubomirski, wedding reception at Ramada Hotel Westgate, 9/26/09
Brian,
You did a fantastic job! You were very organized and your experience with weddings really showed at our reception. In fact, you were THE MOST reliable of ALL our vendors we worked with. You were very flexible and kept the night moving, despite a few “on the fly” changes in the schedule. You were ready for anything and quick-witted enough to make things happen seamlessly. We also appreciated the fact that you checked in with us before doing a special event (mostly because we are control freaks, LOL).
We definitely feel like we got more than we paid for with you. In fact, hopefully, you will receive some calls from our relatives for future events, as we’ve had them asking us for your contact information since the wedding! It was excellent! Thank you for everything Brian! -Jason & Brittany Chowdhary, wedding reception at The Pinnacle, 9/25/09
Hi Brian,
Joel was a very good DJ. He was energetic and had a good sense of humor. Plus, he kept me in the loop about when certain things were going to happen like the cake cutting and special dances. He also played all the songs that we had requested. Your price was very fair and going with your company was very worth while to us. Thank you very much! -Amy & Troy Berente, wedding reception at Hilton Garden Inn (Levis Commons), 9/18/09
Brian,
Thank you very much for being our DJ for our wedding! You were awesome! We really liked your online planner and how you called us a week in advance to go over the schedule and to check on how to pronounce names. You were very professional.
Everything went very smoothly and all of the guests commented on the great songs you played and your ability to keep the dance floor full. I also liked how you asked us if we were ready for certain events and the suggestions you made to us throughout the night. We really appreciated you taking time on a busy holiday weekend to help us with the wedding and that you were also willing to provide sound for our ceremony at the last minute! I would highly, HIGHLY recommend you and Ultimate Nights. Thanks so much! -Erin & Noah Pinegar, wedding ceremony & reception at Maumee Bay State Park Lodge, 9/6/09
Hi Brian,
Marcus was a very good DJ. I was worried that he wouldn’t pronounce our last name right because it’s kind of tricky, but he said it perfectly! Plus, his interaction level with our crowd was just right (not too much and not too little). He was really good at getting everyone involved and I liked how he asked us if we were ready to move on to the next special event during the night. Thanks to Marcus for making our day go very well, and thank YOU for all the work you did as well! I have several friends getting married soon so I am giving out your cards to all of them! -Krissy & Alex Kisov, wedding reception at Tamaron Country Club, 9/5/09
Brian,
First off I just wanted to say our reception was perfect and a big part of that was because of Steve. He was amazing! As you know I was concerned with the pace of the evening - I wanted to stick to a schedule and I was scared that it wasn't going to move along as smoothly as I wanted it to, but Steve stuck to our plan and kept things moving just as we imagined! I was also worried about the DJ being annoying, or too loud and pushy (like so many I had seen before), but Steve was perfect! He was very professional throughout the whole evening!
Steve also stuck with my request list pretty much dead-on and mixed in some other songs to help keep the dance floor full. It was exceptional and we feel as if we received way more than we paid for with your services. Thank you for everything, and I will be recommending you! -Jennifer & Brad Nietz, wedding reception at Brandywine Country Club, 8/29/09
