"Joe was everything we could have hoped for for our wedding reception. Before, during, and after. His uplighting saved us a ton of money on regular bland decorations that would have to be put up and taken down after it all. Thank you for making ours a night to remember. Even our guests mentioned how great everything was."

Kristopher Scott Ward, Magnolia OH

"We are so happy that we used Joe Russell for our wedding reception! He has an awesome personality. The night went so smoothly and everything transitioned really well. I was surprised how many people were on the dance floor! We also used the video taping service and we love our footage from the weddinng and reception. Our guests tell us all the time still how much they liked our DJ!! Thanks so much!

Emily and Chris"

Emily Jones, Painesville OH

"Working with Joe was practically the most stress-free part of planning our wedding. We used RSL's services for our DJ, videography, and slideshow with our photos. Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and many requests were played. He even worked with my now-husband on a surprise mother-son dance! We had over 300 guests, and they all were impressed with the quality of sound in the hall and the timing of the traditional dances. The videographer was always right there during the key moments. I can't wait to see the footage! Thank you for everything!"

Stephanie Stuck, Massillon OH
