"Joshua is the real deal! Not only is his voice incredible, but our first dance song wasn't the usual and he was happy to learn it for us. I've been a professional wedding photographer for 12 years, and he is by far the best musician I have ever seen. I had numerous guests comment, 'where did you find this guy...he is incredible!'"
"Josh has not only been an absolute pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process, he was also AMAZING as both a DJ, MC, and live performer! Dozens of our guests told us how impressed they were with his talent."
"Hire him now before he gets famous and not affordable anymore. A lot of songs to choose from and even learned a few songs for my event. Don't waste your time and money elsewhere."

Everything you need to know about booking Josh for your event.
I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance for wedding dates, especially for peak season (May-October). Popular dates like Saturdays in summer can book up a year or more ahead. That said, I sometimes have last-minute availability, so it never hurts to reach out even for closer dates.
I'm based in Cleveland, Ohio but travel nationwide for weddings and events. I've performed everywhere from the beaches of North Carolina to the vineyards of Michigan. Travel fees may apply for events outside the Cleveland metro area—just ask when you check availability.
Simply fill out the contact form on this page or call me directly at (440) 413-7361. I'll get back to you within 24 hours to confirm availability and discuss your event details.
After you reach out, we'll schedule a call or meet up for drinks to discuss your vision. Once we're on the same page, I'll send over a contract and require a deposit to secure your date. The remaining balance is due closer to the event. I really enjoy getting to know couples before their wedding!
Yes, a deposit is required to secure your date. This is typically 25-50% of the total package price. The deposit is non-refundable but does go toward your total balance. Final payment is due 2 weeks before your event.
I'm your one-stop shop for wedding entertainment. I offer live acoustic music for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and dinner. I also provide DJ services for receptions, and I can MC your event. You can book me for just one part of your day or for the entire wedding from ceremony to last dance.
Absolutely! This is one of the cool things about booking with me. I can play live acoustic for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and first dances—then switch to DJ for the reception dance party. Or you can choose live music all night. You have the option of either one!
A typical ceremony package includes prelude music as guests arrive (15-20 minutes), processional music for the wedding party and bride, any music during the ceremony if desired, and recessional music. I can also play during unity ceremonies or other special moments.
Cocktail hour is typically a 1-hour set of live acoustic music. I'll play a mix of songs based on your preferences—whatever vibe you want, from upbeat and fun to mellow and romantic. You can request specific songs or let me read the room and create the perfect atmosphere.
Reception packages include professional DJ services, MC announcements for introductions, first dances, toasts, cake cutting, bouquet toss, and any other special moments. I bring professional sound equipment and can keep the dance floor packed all night. I can also play live music during dinner if you prefer.
Yes! My full-day package covers everything from ceremony to the very end of the reception. This is the best value and ensures seamless entertainment throughout your entire wedding. Book with me and you have music from start to finish—no coordinating multiple vendors.
I play everything! Country, pop, doo-wop, blues, rock, R&B, indie, oldies, wedding classics—you name it. No matter what song you want, I can make it my own with that singer-songwriter acoustic vibe. That's the beauty of what I do.
Absolutely! I have a bank of songs that I've learned over the years, and it's constantly growing. Couples can pick from that bank or ask me to learn whatever song they want. I love learning new songs, especially meaningful ones for first dances or ceremony moments.
There's no strict limit! For ceremony and special moments (first dance, father-daughter, mother-son), you can choose exactly what you want. For cocktail hour and dinner, you can give me a list of must-plays, a general vibe, or let me read the room. For reception DJ sets, I'll work with your playlist preferences.
Yes! I have a song bank that I share with couples after booking. It includes hundreds of songs across all genres. But don't feel limited by the list—if there's a song you want that's not on there, just let me know and I'll learn it for you.
Yes! For any custom song requests, especially first dance or ceremony songs, I can send you a recording before the wedding so you know exactly what to expect. No surprises on your big day!
Of course! I totally understand that some songs just aren't your thing. Give me your "do not play" list and I'll make sure those songs stay off the playlist. Your wedding, your rules.
I bring everything needed for a professional performance. For live music, that includes my acoustic guitar, professional PA system, microphones, and all cables. For DJ services, I bring professional DJ equipment, speakers, subwoofers, and lighting if needed. You don't need to provide anything except a power outlet.
For live acoustic performance, I need about a 6x6 foot area. For DJ setup, I typically need about 8x4 feet for the table and equipment. I'm flexible and can work with different venue layouts—just let me know your space and we'll figure it out.
Yes! I love outdoor ceremonies and events. I have battery-powered equipment for locations without power access. Just let me know the setup and I'll make sure I have everything needed. I do recommend having a backup plan in case of weather.
Yes! My setup includes wireless microphones for toasts, speeches, and announcements. I'll coordinate with your MC or handle announcements myself if you book my MC services.
I typically arrive 60-90 minutes before performance time to allow for setup, sound check, and any coordination with venue staff or wedding planners. For larger events or multiple setups, I may arrive earlier.
Pricing varies depending on the services you need, event length, and location. I offer packages for ceremony only, cocktail hour, reception DJ, or full-day coverage. The best way to get accurate pricing is to fill out the contact form or call me at (440) 413-7361 with your event details.
Events within the Cleveland metro area typically don't have additional travel fees. For events outside the area, travel fees may apply depending on distance. For destination weddings, we'll discuss travel, accommodations, and any additional costs upfront so there are no surprises.
I accept checks, credit cards, Venmo, Zelle, and cash. Whatever is most convenient for you! Payment plans can be arranged for larger packages.
The deposit is non-refundable as it secures your date and compensates for turning away other potential bookings. If you need to reschedule, I'm happy to work with you to find a new date if my calendar allows. Full details are in the contract.
I dress professionally and appropriately for your event. For weddings, that's typically a suit or dress shirt and slacks. If you have a specific dress code or color scheme, just let me know and I'll coordinate. I want to look like I belong at your event!
For live music, I typically take short breaks between sets (5-10 minutes per hour). During breaks, I can play background music through the PA. For DJ services, music plays continuously. I coordinate breaks with your event timeline so there's never an awkward silent moment.
A vendor meal is appreciated for events longer than 4 hours but not required. If provided, I'll eat during a natural break in the event (like during dinner service). Don't worry about anything fancy—I'm easy to please!
Absolutely! I'm happy to coordinate with your photographer, videographer, wedding planner, and venue staff to ensure everything runs smoothly. Communication is key to a successful event, and I've worked with many vendors over the years.
In my years of performing, I've never missed an event. However, I have a network of trusted musician friends who could step in for a true emergency. This is outlined in the contract. Rest assured, I take my commitments seriously and your wedding is a priority.
Yes! While weddings are my specialty, I also perform for corporate events, private parties, anniversaries, proposals, rehearsal dinners, bar shows, and more. If you have an event that needs live music or DJ services, let's talk!
Yes! I do regular live shows at bars and restaurants around Cleveland. Follow me on social media to see where I'm playing next, or reach out if you're a venue owner looking for live entertainment.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Reach out anytime!
