DJ Nick Z rules

Was so personal and professional on our wedding day and in the months leading up. He listened to all our requests, was very kind and had the party going till the night was over. He did a great job coordinating the announcements, pronouncing some pretty tough Italian last names and played bangers all night. DJ Nick Z made our wedding so memorable and it wouldn’t of been the same without him.

Rocked the House!

I first heard Nick at an event in NYC and the his music was so good, our group ended up closing down the venue. We decided to fly him out to spin for us for NYE and he didn't disappoint! Nick had the whole house dancing and and I received scores of compliments as to how good the music was. He was fantastic and we plan to work with him again soon. Highly recommended...it'll be the best decision you make for your event.

Holiday Party Success!

Hey all. Thought I’d pop in to share my experience with Mr. Nick Z. I am not what most of my clientele or coworkers would consider “hip”. So when they asked me to help find the entertainment for our corporate Holiday Party I was slightly intimidated. I was also not given very much notice, so I was getting quite worried. In my office, choosing the party entertainment is like drawing the shortest straw. Let’s just say that we have had some,…”interesting” experiences with entertainment at work functions. (Think John Lovett in the wedding singer). So! After much research, I arrived at what seemed to be a wedding website which offered an array of entertainment. Amongst them, Nick Z! It is nice to still be receiving compliments and kind words about how great the party was. Nick really played for everyone. This was not the kind of party that had people scattered in their chairs throughout the room. In fact, most chairs were empty. So much laughing, dancing and fun. I’ve been told by my team that I will be in charge of entertainment again next year so long as its Nick Z again. So dibs on Nick Z December 18 2020! Thanks for rocking this party Nick, I can’t thank you enough. You really came through. Oh and,…thanks for helping with Danny (the HR guy). Haha his ankle is doing much better. He almost danced his feet off cause of you!

-All The Best & Happy Hollidays

5 stars!!!!!

Nick is awesome to work with! Originally was introduced through a venue and have hired Nick multiple times after that for our corporate events. He is flexible, reliable and knows how to keep the party going! Will continue to use Nick for our events moving forward as our preferred DJ.

Incredible DJ

We recently had our engagement party and Nick was the DJ we chose to play at our party. He is beyond amazing! My fiancé and I found him on WeddingWire and we immediately sent him a message requesting further details about his availability and pricing. We had a response within 24 hours and we spoke back and forth and we booked Nick. He even met with us to discuss our event assuring us that he will take care of all the music and lighting. He was right and he took control and we had an amazing party. Nick is there for you all the way, so if you want a reliable, responsible and straight up super cool friend and DJ, definitely hire Nick. If we have another party, we will have 1000% book Nick.

Worth Every Penny

Oh man, book with E.L.C. Events. We had the time of our lives working with Nick. It was my biggest wedding fear to have a lackluster DJ. Half of the guests at our wedding are dancers by profession, and so I knew a poor DJ would bring our dance floor to a grinding halt. Nick was INCREDIBLE. Our guests were raving about him and tearing up the dance floor. He had us use an app to add our music/song preferences, and it allowed us to have our friends input their requests or "like" songs that were already on our lists. It was easy to use and gave me such peace of mind- it felt like we knew what we were walking into. Kiss your DJ worries goodbye and hire Nick! I'm so so glad we did.

Incredible

Nick was absolutely amazing. The audio solution we had set up for our wedding fell through and Nick was able to rescue us last minute (within a week of our wedding). We wish we had found Nick at the very beginning as he Seemed much more on top of it than anyone else we had spoken with. He was extremely professional and accommodating. We got on a phone call with him to explain our vision and needs which he was able to fully grasp and bring to life. He had a really cool app that allowed our guests to request and vote for songs to be played on the dance floor (kindof like Instagram for music recommendations). This was super convenient and easy to use and ensured that we had a playlist that everyone would be excited about. I will be sure to recommend Nick to all of my friends who need a professional, dependable, easy-to-work-with DJ. His services are worth every penny and I am confident that anyone else who hires E.L.C. Events for their wedding will feel exactly the same way.

Amazing!!! Strongly Recommended!

Nick is super nice and responsive. He completely got my idea and helped me build a perfect DIY playlist. What's more, he provided me an app to build up the entire music list, which saved me lots of time and made my list organized. On my wedding day, I got every music I wanna play in right timing, Kudos to you, Nick!

Excellent, Responsive and Down to Earth DJ - Highly Recommend

My husband and I recently hired Nick to DJ at our wedding and the whole process was extremely easy from start to finish. It was a lot more difficult than we thought to accurately describe the kind of music we wanted at our wedding, but after talking to Nick about what we didn't want and providing him with two short sample playlists for the kind of music we'd like during the cocktail hour/dinner and then reception, Nick understood our taste completely. We didn't want to have to make the full playlist ourselves, so the fact that Nick could take it from there gave us one less thing to worry about. On the day all of the song choices were exactly what we were looking for and he moved between songs seamlessly. I also loved how well he accommodated guests' requests, playing the songs they had asked for really quickly and even going out of his way to find certain versions in some cases. When it came to any announcements he was also extremely professional and clear. Overall, I'd recommend Nick to anyone looking for a reasonably-priced, responsive, and down-to-earth DJ who will take the stress out of planning the music for your event. You won't be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
