Selective Sound Events: Live Entertainment that Sets Your Wedding Apart

Selective Sound Events is the premier entertainment company in Northeast Ohio. With experience, preparation, personalization, and execution at the heart of what they do, Selective Sound delivers an unforgettable experience. Their goal is simple: you enjoy your wedding day while they take care of the details behind the scenes. 

Hybrid Live Entertainment: Saxophonists, Drummers, and Electric Violinists

Do you picture a DJ lighting up the dance floor after toasts and dinner has ended? Do you envision elegant live violinists as guests are taking their seats and as you are walking down the aisle? Do you want a saxophonist during cocktail hour? Why choose between a DJ and live performers when you can have both? Selective Sound Events offers hybrid live entertainment so your wedding day can come to life just as you imagined! Their repertoire includes contemporary music alongside classical favorites, adding a personal touch to your day. You can also have a saxophonist or electric violinist perform during your ceremony, dinner, and even your reception as they will be interacting with your guests and blending live instrumentals with the DJ’s music for an unexpected twist.

Add-Ons Couples Love

Everything SSE offers is cutting-edge and top service. Add-ons couples love are the ones that create experiences guests can enjoy and memories they can take home. They offer nine different photo novelty experiences, from digital-only kiosks to booths with physical prints guests can take home. Did you know that their photo booths offer unlimited time and photos? This means your guests can keep capturing memories throughout the event without worrying about time limits or the number of photos they take. There is a digital gallery that you receive after your wedding and guests can even leave a personal message in a scrapbook. 

Dynamic Feature Lighting

Lighting can completely transform a room! Whether you want something romantic, elegant, or more vibrant, the right lighting can enhance your venue and create the atmosphere you’re looking for. It can even help draw attention away from less appealing details, like flooring or ceilings.

“We offer a variety of lighting options, including uplighting, feature lighting, club lighting, spotlights, pin spotting, bistro and Edison lighting, chandeliers, and monograms, to complement your venue, highlight key details, and bring your vision to life. Our team can help you find the right combination for your space, colors, and overall style.”

Videography

Your day will be filled with love, laughter, and emotional moments, some of which you may miss during the excitement of the day. Videographers capture these moments discreetly, allowing you to enjoy your wedding while they preserve the memories. SSE has a personalized approach to creating your wedding video that you will look back on for years to come. “Each video we create is unique and reflects the personalities and story of each couple. We’ll meet with you before your wedding to go over the specifics of your big day and gather the details needed to capture the special moments that matter most to you.”

Ceremony Sound Support

It’s so important that your guests can hear you say “I do,” especially when you’re sharing your own personal vows. They use discreet wireless lapel microphones, along with an additional microphone on a stand for readings, so everyone can hear those meaningful moments.

What Is the Experience Like for Couples Working With Selective Sound Events?

From the moment a couple reaches out, we make it a priority to respond quickly and get to know them. We like to schedule a quick meeting to understand their vision, what they’re looking for, and the experience they want to create for their guests.

Every wedding and venue is different, so we offer personalized recommendations rather than a one-size-fits-all package. We help couples think through their entertainment, music, atmosphere, and additional services based on what works best for their day.

Once booked, couples receive access to our wedding DJ planning app, which helps keep everything organized and makes planning easier.

Through the app, couples can:

• Meet their assigned DJ and get to know the person who will be part of their wedding day.
• Upload important wedding details and planning information.
• Choose music for the ceremony, entrances, special dances, and reception.
• Import their own playlists from Spotify or Apple Music, or build their playlists directly in the app.
• Add services with just a few clicks.
• Create their own detailed timeline.
• Mark their Must Plays, Play If Possible, and Do Not Plays.

Whether you want to choose every song or leave most of the music decisions to your DJ, you can be as involved as you’d like.

All our couples also meet one-on-one with their MC/DJ months before the wedding, followed by a final meeting closer to the big day to review the details and make sure everyone is on the same page.

And while we have tools and systems to make planning easier, we know that wedding planning can still feel overwhelming. That’s why our team is always willing to step in, answer questions, offer ideas, and help couples figure things out when they aren’t sure where to start.

Our goal isn’t just to provide music and entertainment. It’s to make planning easier, get to know what makes each couple unique, and create an experience that feels like your wedding.

A great DJ does more than play a playlist. They understand the flow of the entire event, listen to the couple’s preferences, and work to meet or exceed their expectations. Our DJs prepare for every important moment, from introductions and first dances to dinner, speeches, photography, and transitions throughout the reception.

They’re always paying attention to the timeline, the energy of the guests, and what’s happening around them. And when something doesn’t go exactly as planned (because weddings don’t always go according to plan!), they know how to adapt and jump into action without adding stress to the couple’s big day.

From interactive experiences like photo booths to expert DJ services, live wedding entertainment, lighting, and videography, Selective Sound Events offers everything you need to bring your wedding vision to life. With a commitment to exceptional service, attention to detail, and top-notch professionalism, their team is dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience for you and your guests from beginning to end.
