Team Member of The Month – Ernie Scales

/in /by

Rock The House Entertainment is rolling out a formal Team Member of The Month program coming out of our 2012 All Staff Meeting this April. That meant that management was faced with setting a precedent and prototype for this honor. What a relief it was for us to have just the person…Ernie Scales.

Head of Human Resources at Rock The House, Ryan Konikoff said:

“Selecting Ernie was an easy choice. So far, he holds the lead for the most requests in 2012 by clients. Every MC always asks to have him on their events, and he lives the idea of leading by example. Ernie takes dance classes in his free time to learn all different types of dance that may help him as a RTH dancer, he always has a smile on his face, and you can tell he just really love the job”

In the year and a half that Ernie has been with us, he has shown an eagerness to learn, consistency, drive, and character. This isn’t even mentioning his amazing skills! Don’t just take our word for it! He made it farther than hundreds of other competitive dancers at the 2012 “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 9 tryouts in Los Angeles. You can read more about that fascinating experience here.

Ernie says it best:

“What makes me a unique dancer is my passion. I use dancing to describe who I am and how I feel. I basically use dance to let people see my true personality. I live for dance and I dance to live. What makes a dancer unique is not about their moves it’s about heart.”

When we told Ernie he was selected to be the Team Member of the month he was grateful. He then told us he didn’t feel like he was a member of a team, however. To him, he’s a member of a family. We couldn’t agree more!

L’Nique’s Fete 2012 Open House Event

/in , /by

No one knows how to party like party makers, That said, no one is more critical of events they attend, either. Knowing about that double-edged sword L’Nique was able to put on a perfect event for those with the most discriminating tastes. March 22nd, 2012 was the annual open house for the event linen company, L’Nique. One of the secrets to the success of this event is – collaboration. A number of the best creative event designers were asked to take part in creating this unique and very looked forward to the annual event. Everyone had their own area to design and make their own but it all still fit within the overall feeling of the event.

Check out this video wrap-up of the event:

L’Nique’ 2012 Fete Open House Event from RTH Multimedia on Vimeo.

Rock The House had the pre and post event tent space to design. Our lighting set the mood for two distinctly different vibes. The pre-event time was one of networking, hors d’oeuvres, and signature cocktails. What really told people they were at something special was the live performance by one of the region’s most sought after live bands, Run Avril Run.

The next stage of the event was located in L’Nique’s warehouse. Every once in a while you would see something that would remind you that this was in a working warehouse. Most of the time, however, guests were almost overwhelmed with all the inspiration. Different designers brought their A-Game in a collaborative and healthy competition. It’s what drives true stars in our industry to create memorable and original works of art.

Following the innovative design-scapes of the warehouse, guests let their hair down and hit the dance floor in a transformed tent area and dance floor. Rock The House provided a club-like atmosphere for a group ready to ROCK on the dance floor. The bar has been raised once again for this event and we are happy to have been asked to be a part of this special event.

Rock The House Entertainment event specialists are ready to hear what your unique event goals are and will make them a reality.

2012 Pink The Rink Wrap-Up Video

/in , /by

Rock The House enjoys a great partnership with The Lake Erie Monsters and the annual Pink The Rink event is a yearly highlight of that relationship. Each year, The Lake Erie Monsters Hockey team raises awareness as well as money for cancer research. Quicken Loans Arena was awash in pink-clad hockey fans ready for a great time and we are proud to have helped.

Here’s our wrap-up video from the event:

Rock The House dancers had a great time with many of the kids attending the game. Our Rock The House stage on The Q concourse had dozens of kids of all ages dancing, singing, and having a great time between periods of the game. Our DJs, MCs, and dancers were able to both have fun and show off their skills.

Another reason everyone at Rock The House looks forward to Pink The Rink is that the entire team is welcome to attend the event with their families. We had over 100 tickets and that’s one big group!  One of our sections was even on the Q-Tube Score Board.

Rock The House also was retweeted on the Q-Tube with this tweet:

@igotrocked: @tweetqtube The best hockey fight is when The Monsters fight cancer! #PinkTheRink

This event is for such a great cause and we are really excited to have been asked to help. If your next event is looking for that something special to bring it to the next level, give us a call.

Benjamin Got ROCKED! Cleveland Mitzvah DJs at The Temple Tifereth Israel

/in , , /by

Benjamin got ROCKED at the The Temple Tifereth Israel, in Beachwood, Ohio on March 17, 2012.

Cleveland, Ohio Bar and Bat Mitzvah DJs, Rock The House entertained hundreds of guests at a truly remarkable Bar Mizvah. Known throughout the Northeast Ohio region as the premier event entertainers with their DJ / MC division. Rock The House Entertainment Group is far more than entertainers, however. This event is a great example of all the divisions working together on a memorable party.

The lighting division took center stage for this Simcha with uplights, gobo monograms, pin spotting, dance floor lighting, and more all coordinated by our on-site lighting designer. This helped create a club-like setting for this basketball-themed event.

Check Out This Video From Benjamin’s Bar Mitzvah

Extra entertainment like tattoos and novelties meant that the attendees had attractions to keep them entertained at all times. Our Photo Booth division provided the event with our Green Screen Photo Magic for not only an activity but also a custom favor for all guests.

These divisions and our videography division are what make Rock The House unique in our region and in the country as one of the most sought after companies for memorable events.

Rock The House Auditions 2012

/in /by

With another year of growth we face another year of expanding our staff. This year, we took a cue from some of the more popular reality shows for our auditions!

Hosted at Cleveland’s House of Blues, hopeful MCs, DJs, and Dancers went through the first stage of our tryouts with full-time managers, dance captains, and support teams watching, testing, and asking many questions.

We were VERY pleased with the turnout and excited to see that there are many in Cleveland very interested in working for Rock The House clients on events in the future. This was only the first stage, however. Those that made the fist cut were asked to come to the Rock The House headquarters to learn more about the company and meet more of our team. This session was more hands-on and targeted qualities like teamwork,  passion, and customer service skills.

We have some great new talent this year who will be working hand in hand with our senior MCs, DJs, and Dancers. Let us know what type of event entertainment you need for your upcoming Wedding, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Corporate Event or Fundraiser!

Rock Your Prom 2012 – Cleveland’s Best DJ / MC Team

/in /by

Our first Rock Your Prom campaign has been a big success. We couldn’t be happier with the result of attention this has received due, in large part, to our partner 96.5 KISS FM Cleveland. KISS FM was the best type of partner we could ask for and we are excited to expand our already great relationship. We would also like to thank American Commodore Tuxedos for sponsoring this promotion. They had the insight to get on board for the first year of this and we’re hoping students take advantage of their services.

The winner will be announced Wednesday, March 14. We would like to thank everyone who voted and organized other voters.

We will be posting the big announcement very soon!
