Hot Wedding Trends For Your Cleveland Wedding in 2019!

We've been extremely busy all year not only producing and performing weddings in 2018 but helping couples plan their 2019-2020 receptions. Surprisingly, some trends are re-emerging or still popular while others have run their course and new ideas have surfaced! Here's what we find most couples are levitating towards for their soiree. These are the top lucky number 7. Want to learn more? Make an appointment to visit our new showroom. We are here to help :)


1. Shades of Purple
This is something that's been popular in lighting for quite some time. The most requested colors are purple, champagne, and blush pink. What we are seeing is floral designs using purples from violet to periwinkle.

2.  Greener Tablescapes
The idea of adding foliage to a floral centerpiece has now been replaced with lots of greenery  replacing the flowers. Green foliage predominates!

3. Tech Savvy
Making your event unique by hiring entertainment that can provide the latest technologies in event production and entertainment is a must. Couple are wanting to make their event different or at the very least up to date. Why have just a photo booth when you can have a Mirror Photo Experience or the one of a kind, Robo-Photo Experience (Robotic Photo Booth! Have your DJ spinning on a large (witness the mix) Touch Screen that even displays music videos! Popular for 2019-2020 is our Instagram Feed Slideshow with your very own personal # hashtag. see whats new in event enhancements.

4.  Drones
look up in the air. It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a drone taking a birds eye view of ceremonies and outdoor formalities and events. This has been around for a couple of years but has increased for 2019 capturing a different perspective as the wedding day unfolds. The technology of drone video has gotten better and the resulting videos are clear and steady.

5.  Unplugged Ceremonies
Sign have been posted. In the effort to have a uninterrupted lifetime moment couples are subtly asking guests to power down.  A ringtone or a flash from a smart phone at a lifetime moment is not something you want to be guilty of. So let's switch off or mute until the ceremony is over.

6. Video Mapping
Video Mapping will become more accessible to couples in 2019. We we the first to provide this service and now with the advances of software we can create more exciting mapping presentations. Having a wedding cake with stars cascading down the layers or perhaps full motion background of scenery fitted to a wall or object. Google "video mapping weddings" to see what it is and has what it has become. It's a popular add-on to wow your guests for 2019-2020 receptions.

7. Food Stations
One trend that we have seen getting more popular is the opting for "food stations" rather than a formal sit down meal. As wedding become more about the party and less about formality we see more of this style emerging as well as late nite snack stations prior to the end of the wedding reception. Smaller gourmet plates with more choices for dinner time and everything from tacos, pizza, of breakfast an hour before the last song.
Ask you caterer for ideas.

Cleveland Wedding DJ Mixes Formality With Fun

Being asked to DJ some elaborate Cleveland weddings has been the norm for the last several years. but every once in awhile we come across a couple that wants their wedding reception to be both formal and fun. Such is the case with Maria and Justin at The Cleveland Akron Hilton in Fairlawn. We were excited to work with Wedding Coordinator and friend Eileen Benson, Photographer Carrie Nelson and the wonderful staff at The Hilton Akron Fairlawn

A well planned wedding reception starts with decor. The right lighting and decor, floral, and even furniture can transform the well laid out room into a masterpiece. You'll want to complement your well appointed and decorated ballroom with excellent catering and service.

However, after they ooh and awwh over the centerpieces and enjoy a great meal, it's all about the fun you can create. Everyone's idea of fun is different, but a talented and experienced disc jockey can get the maximum out of your guests, keep the event flowing, and the dance floor packed.

Take a look and the pictures of this beautiful wedding and the fun video of this party. This was the perfect mix of formality and fun for this couple and their guests, Don't take our word for it, we'll provide you with contact information for them and any of our recent clients.

We want to thank Maria and Justin for making us part of their big day. We hope to see them on a dance floor somewhere again soon!

Cleveland Wedding DJs Rock The House of Blues

Being a high energy Cleveland wedding DJ we receive requests to create fun and exciting theme weddings. This time our couple had a vision of a Rock Concert Theme. From the venue they chose The House Of Blues Cleveland to the nusic for the grand entrance "Helion and Electric Eye - Judas Priest" to the last song of the evening "For Those About To Rock - AC/DC" this wedding rocked! The tables names were represented by rock album covers of the 70's which I thought to be really creative. Our bride Janeen's son's band called The Outer Waves performed songs of The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin to name a few. We enjoyed the opportunity to help make this vision come to life threw music and preparation with the venue, photographer, and our guests of honor. There was plenty of dancing and a high energy feel in the room as we ended the show with everyone crowded in front of the stage for the send off of the bride and groom. Pictures of the event can be seen below and on our Facebook page. The following week we did a Halloween themed wedding and right after that party we received a call to perform at a Harry Potter themed wedding, we'll let you know all the fun things we whip up for that one next summer. So themed wedding are in and creativity can make for a welcome change from the traditional themes for you and your guests.

Cleveland Wedding DJ's at Troy Entertainment give you the Top 5 Wedding Trends of 2015

So as another Cleveland wedding season approaches our Cleveland wedding dj's take a look at the top wedding trends of 2015. Below is what we found. Are any of these making their way to your wedding plans?

1.) Wild West or Barn Weddings
Leather accents, cowhide rugs, and wildflower bouquets. A relaxed atmosphere. We recently did a bridal event at The Mohicans Grand Barn. What a unique venue it is. Couples can have their ceremony overlooking the Mohican forest then proceed to celebrating their nuptials in the Grand Barn. The property even boasts it's own Tree House Brewery and the bride and grooms spend their wedding night in a private Tree House!

2.) Macrame
A relaxed atmosphere. Your BOHO wedding. Backyard or open field settings with picnic style seating. Keep the colors bright and festive, yet earthy. Mismatched bridesmaids gowns and hand drawn maps with your invites.

3.) Drone Wedding Photos and GoPro Videos
Want to see your wedding from every angle, even from above? Then try this trend. Google Drone Wedding Video and see this trend in action. Our friends at Mystic Image Photography & Video are equiped for the task.

4.) There's an App for that!
lots of couples are enlisting wedding planning help through apps like TaskRabbit for the small things, TouristEye to plan the honeymoon. All of the major registries make it easy to buy gifts straight from your phone, and Uber and Lyft ensure guests find a ride at the end of the night.

5.) Creative Food Presentations
hanging salad stations, doughnut dessert walls that double as escort cards and beer-garden-inspired stations, complete with beer steins made of ice. Ask your Caterer about creating a unique idea just for you. We recommend A Taste Of Excellence for your Cleveland Wedding Reception.

Cleveland Wedding DJ Review: Galleria Wedding

Often when we meet with brides and grooms they have a vision. A desire to create the event of their dreams. Being entrusted with a lifetime event such as a wedding is a big responsibility. It's all about going the extra mile to make it happen. And in the end the rewards are awesome. Just read this comment from a recent wedding at The Galleria at Erieview in Cleveland.

Bravo from a bride about her Cleveland County Courthouse wedding

John & Courtney Bevilacqua

Courtney Bevilacqua says:

Pete exceeded my expectations as the DJ for our wedding downtown at the Cleveland Courthouse. He did the most amazing job all night long. Though I was nervous about how the acoustics would sound in the Courthouse, Pete’s sound system allowed for the music to project, not echo, and let everyone here the speeches clearly. The music selection was perfect. Slow songs when people needed a break, and young music most of my friends like to dance to. EVERYONE was still there wanting more by the time the reception was over. Troy Entertainment will keep everyone going and excited to be at your party al night long! Thanks again Pete!
