Highly Recommend!!

Danny was incredible! We had a group of guests that are not big dancers, but Danny was able to keep EVERYONE on the dance floor ALL night. So fun! He was great to plan with too!

Excellent DJ

We hired Danny's Elite Docs Jockeys for our wedding at a private residence in March. Danny was very personable and professional and promptly responded to any questions or needs that we had. Our DJ, Ramiro, was excellent as well. He played a great set that kept our dance floor packed the whole night. We would absolutely recommend Danny's Elite Disc Jockeys to anyone in need of a DJ. They are exceptional!

Friendly, accommodating, and not pushy at all!

After a misunderstanding with our vendor team, we realized less than two weeks out that we needed to rent A/V equipment for our wedding to play the playlist we created and allow for speeches. Our wedding was more of a casual affair, so we knew we weren't necessarily interested in a DJ, and Danny understood that—he wasn't pushy at all and was so prompt and courteous when responding even though this was so last-minute. My planner, my partner, and I had a handful of questions and Danny was quick and patient when getting back to us about them too. The rental fee was reasonable (especially compared to other folks in town) and making payments was incredibly convenient, as they accept so many different forms. On the day of our wedding, it was clear that Danny had done a great job not just setting up the equipment but training our planner on how to use it, as we didn't have a single technical hiccup all day.

We Had a Blast with Danny!

Danny did a fabulous job as DJ/MC of our wedding weekend! I am not ashamed to admit that music was the part of my wedding I was most particular (ahem, Bridezilla) about, and Danny was able to roll with it and bring to life the perfect “soundtrack” that I had imagined. We had three days of events during which Danny set up equipment all over the large private estate that was our venue. Between mics, speakers, silent disco, and a video projector; Danny made it all happen seamlessly. His energy is upbeat and friendly, but also very calming. He was also flexible as our plans changed and evolved throughout the planning process due to COVID. I’d highly recommend hiring him for your wedding or party. He’ll make sure you have a blast!

Amazing Wedding DJ !

Danny / Elite was a perfect DJ choice for our wedding! We looked at a few options here in Santa Barbara, and were confident and excited with working with Danny after our first call. He helped make the whole process easy and stress-free, and more importantly brought great music to our event - we had all our guests dancing the entire night! I was also able to give music, genre, and even specific song recommendations prior, and was obviously thrilled to hear those throughout our big day. We both would definitely recommend enlisting Danny or Elite for any of your DJ needs!

Great Experience!

My husband and I got married in Solvang in September and it was the perfect day! Ramiro was extremely professional and kept the hits coming! He was respectful of our list and was totally in tune with the energy in the room! Working with Danny and Ramiro was incredible and I highly recommend them!

Danny is the best!

Danny DJ'd and Mc'd my wedding this past weekend. It was great!! All of my guests and myself were on the dance floor to the very end. Danny was very attentive to all my requests and need. My wedding was my best day ever thanks in part to the great music Danny provided us.

Thank you Danny!

Danny DJ'd and MC'd our wedding this past weekend. It went so smoothly, the music was great, the mic's were always in place on time, and we had multiple people comment to us on how great the music was and how well he read the room in knowing what to play next. Danny set up a 30 minute call the week prior to the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page as far as the timeline went, and to make sure he knew if there were any particular important things to us that he could assist with. I would absolutely recommend him for other weddings and events!
Should also mention that his online planning tool is very helpful and easy to use. He has a massive database of songs to include that you can easily pick for different parts of the wedding or mark that no music should be associated with (processional, bouqet toss, first dance, dinner, cake cutting, etc.). I had an obscure song that wasn't included in his initial database but he said it was no problem to download and was able to play it which I very much appreciated.

Perfect DJ! You will not regret!

We worked with Danny for our event and he was awesome! They have an online planning form where you put what music you want to play for each thing like first dance, father/daughter dance, cake cutting, etc. You can also say which songs you for sure want played and which ones you don’t. So we filled that out a couple weeks before the wedding. Then the week of the wedding, Danny called us to go over the forms. We discussed the kind of music to play at dinner and during the dance portion of the evening. We also wanted a rather long song for our first dance but didn’t want to dance the whole time, so Danny sent us over a few different cuts of the song to make it shorter. He also remixed a slower song we wanted for our grand entrance. The songs he played at the dance portion were perfect. He was easily able to tell which songs people were enjoying dancing to and played those for longer. My husband, the guests, and I had a ball dancing all night long. Could not recommend him enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
