A BIT ABOUT JACK!
Thank you for choosing to explore something unique. I'm Jack Helbig, and when it comes to DJing, I embrace authenticity from the start. No gimmicky or cheesy DJ name here—just my real name and a passion for delivering an unforgettable experience.
Let me share with you just how distinct my approach is compared to the run-of-the-mill DJs or DJ services you might have encountered:
-
Radio Veteran: If my name rings a bell, it's because you've likely tuned in to my voice every weekday morning. As an accomplished on-air radio personality and producer, and currently Manager of Radio Operations, I've lent my talents to various radio stations over the past two decades. From Top 40 hits to Classic Hits, Adult Top 40, and the world of News/Talk, I've navigated them all. But I'm not just a voice; I bring programming experience into the mix.
-
Real DJ & MC: Beyond the airwaves, I'm a genuine DJ and Master of Ceremonies, having honed my craft in nightclubs, public engagements, and private events. DJing isn't a sideline gig for me; it's a lifelong passion and profession.
-
Unmatched Industry Experience: My career in the DJ industry is unparalleled in this region. Unlike many DJs in Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Pittsburgh, and beyond, this has always been my full-time pursuit, not just a part-time hobby. You'd be hard-pressed to find another DJ in the area with such a unique and deep-rooted background.
My Three Guiding Principles: Be Different, be consistent & be one of the best!
I have a simple yet unwavering mission: to stand out, maintain a level of unmatched consistency, and strive to be among the very best. I believe that actions speak louder than words, so I'll let my reviews, along with my prestigious industry awards from The Knot and Wedding Wire, attest to my commitment.
When you choose me, you're selecting a DJ who doesn't just play music but crafts unforgettable experiences. Let's create lasting memories together that will leave you and your guests raving
I pride myself in offering a distinctive brand & signature style that really separates me from the majority of Cleveland DJs, Akron DJs, Canton DJs & Pittsburgh DJs/DJ services around.
What I do NOT do is just as vital as what I do do. You'll also realize how authentic I am and how dedicated I am to what I do and my high expectations I personally place upon myself.
LOCATION
I am based in Northeast Ohio, but I offer my services throughout Ohio along with the Pittsburgh & Erie PA markets and Wheeling WV markets. You can easily follow me on Instagram to see where I am every weekend (@nocheesedjjack). Plus, I love to travel!

AN APPROACH & PHILOSOPHY UNLIKE ANY OTHER DJ & DJ SERVICE IN NORTHEAST OHIO & PITTSBURGH
Let's get real.
When it comes to event and wedding DJs in Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Youngstown and Pittsburgh, the scene has seen its share
of the cringe-worthy and the outrageous.
Picture this: A DJ taking over your special day, seizing the spotlight with endless chatter on the mic, telling outdated jokes (though they're no comedians), lugging around tacky props, coercing guests into forced games, and even instructing impromptu dance lessons smack in the middle of the dance floor. All while spinning the same overplayed tracks.
Or, to quote Ludacris: "Act a Fool."
I've always found this approach tacky & obnoxious. It's also borderline insulting to your guests, implying they aren't able to have a good time on their own. Your wedding isn't a kids party that needs a DJ making themselves the center of attention.
I've attended industry conferences and workshops where "industry leaders" still champion these outdated methods. Unfortunately, the era of obnoxious and cringe-worthy DJ performances persists among a significant number of
Akron DJs, Cleveland DJs and Pittsburgh DJs.
My commitment to redefining DJ entertainment was born out of this exasperation and the desire to offer an experience where your guests
can have fun while feeling relaxed and included. This is where my distinctive philosophy comes into play. I don't subscribe to the cringe. I've built our brand on an exclusive "Non-Cheesy, Non-Obnoxious" branding that emcompasses my philosophy, approach and attitude towards DJ entertainment (especially weddings).
My mission is simple: We want you and your guests to have an incredible time, doing exactly what they feel like doing.
I believe in letting events flow naturally.
No rushing, no intrusive interruptions, and certainly no props, line dances, cheesy gimmicks or endless chatter.
I'm a professional Masters of Ceremonies who know how to keep things on track without stealing the spotlight. You'll never hear my commanding guests to hit the dance floor, put their hands in the air, or "make some noise."
The weddings I DJ/MC are relaxed, inclusive, organic and fun. It's about creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable, regardless of how they choose to enjoy your event.
So, if you're seeking a wedding DJ in Cleveland, Akron/Canton, or Pittsburgh (or anywhere as I do travel) who prioritizes your experience and celebrates your individuality, look no further.
I'm here to make your event memorable for all the right reasons.
