Los Angeles Wedding DJs Elegant Event Entertainment elevate the term "Wedding DJ" to a whole new level.

What is your vision for the party?

We're good listeners and we like hearing about your plans. We're also good at reading the audience, getting people out on the dance floor, helping our clients attain their vision for an event, and keeping things organized so that you don't have to worry about what comes next on your special day.

We're in it until the very last song.

Actually, we're in it a lot further than that. Your music, your guests, and your special moments are all items that we have trained for and based our careers around. We love finding the perfect song that keeps the crowd dancing and smiling. Our work combines excellent music selection from the moment the event begins to the very end, and DJing with digital turntables to make smooth and creative transitions between songs. Our Professional MC's provide refined/fun/and upbeat (NOT CHEESY!!) emceeing of key moments, and a sharp eye for the little details that can make your party great.

What Type of DJ/MC are you looking for?

We Help you determine who might be the best fit for your event by allowing you to consult/meet with the DJ/MC we feel would best match the style of your event and your personality. Your DJ will be named on your contract and you will work with him on all of the music, timeline, details, announcements, etc...throughout the process of planning your wedding. Builidng a relationship which will enhance the overall feel of your event. Knowing who your DJ/MC is from the day you book them is Very important...many companies asign your DJ to you a few weeks before your event, or worse, sometimes you don't meet them until the Day of your event...we don't do that and we strongly urge you not to work with a company who opperates that way. Your DJ/MC is a priceless addition to your event and you should meet them, get to know them, like them, and trust them to follow your wishes for your event.

Exceeded expectations

We had dj Josh and he did such an amazing job. Great communication through the entire year between booking and wedding date. He helped plan the entire schedule of the night and made sure to keep on track the day of the wedding, to where I didn’t have to think about it or worry. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and that we and our guests enjoyed ourselves. Played every song I requested and played other songs that fit the vibe, everyone in my family was dancing. At the end of it all, he took photos of the wedding and sent them to me. I couldn’t be happier with this company and our service. 10/10

100/10 The Best Night Ever

Josh Smeaton was the DJ for our wedding and we got so many compliments on the music for the whole day! The dance floor was full for the entire night!!! The whole process from start to finish was seamless, we felt assured that we were in great hands through all of our planning. Josh went as far as sending photos he took with his personal phone a couple days after our wedding. If you want fun vibes, high energy, and your dance floor packed all night, Elegant Event Entertainment is absolutely the way to go! Thank you Josh for the most perfect day.

Amazing and so fun!

We got married June 2025 and Chris was absolutely amazing! He got everyone on the dance floor and we had so much fun! The music choices and transitions were fantastic and he honored our requests. We got so many compliments from our guests on the DJ and music! The light bars were fun and everyone loved the photobooth. We can’t wait to see those pictures.

Elegant Events also went above and beyond, sending us reminder emails regularly of wedding planning tasks we should be focusing on. Their online planning forms were very helpful and made it easy to keep everything organized.
Chris was extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful, and our trust in him helped make the planning process less stressful.

Thank you Chris for making our wedding so fun and memorable!

Best Wedding DJ I've ever experienced/worked with!

Chris and Josh did a fantastic job at our wedding, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Chris was very helpful over the months before the wedding, meeting with us several times virtually and onsite of the venue to communicate our vision to him. We thought we might've been asking too much from him to execute all of our ideas, but he understood the assignment and definitely pulled through on our wedding day. All of the songs we wanted were played, even at their specific timepoints. He was even able to play videos that we had with his projector and projector screen. Overall a great guy to work with, with many years of experience. You can't go wrong with hiring this team for your wedding!

Best Wedding DJ Ever!

Josh was our DJ for our 10/18/24 wedding at Maravilla Gardens. He was super friendly and truly understood the assignment. We are a couple that loves to dance at weddings and ours was no different. We were very intentional with our playlist and Josh delivered! Our dance floor was packed the whole night and we didn't want the night to end. We had several of our guests come up to us afterwards complimenting Josh's music and how they have never danced so hard at a wedding. Hiring EEE and Josh for our wedding was the easiest decision and I highly recommend them! Ask for Josh! :)

Awesome DJ for Weddings !

Can't say enough about Josh and the experience we had with him as our DJ. He was incredibly responsive, set up meetings and made himself available when we needed to touch base, kept us posted on all deadlines, walked us through how to use his portal (which was very easy to use), put his own creative touch on the songs we selected (transitions, etc.), filled in music that fit the theme we were going for wherever we had holes, and to be honest I didn't even notice he was there until he came to confirm pronunciations of all of our wedding party. He is a consummate professional, and would recommend him 1000% for any event. He was a major part of our wedding being the day we had dreamed about and more.

Memorable. Flawless. Professional. Experienced. Advanced.

My husband and I got married to one another on August 27, 2023 at Eden Gardens.
My goodness, a huge factor in how smooth and wonderful our whole wedding day went goes with a huge shoutout to our DJ/MC Josh Smeaton!!!!! I can only speak words of greatness and appreciation for Josh, truly. Thank you Josh!! The website and profile that's provided upon booking made the whole process so much more visually easier to plan the music choices for the days timeline. It's very organized, user friendly, and we found it very advanced as you can link in your own Spotify account and playlist to make song choice input an easier task. The website and it's layout gave us a place to visually see that our specific song choices would be the correct song version with the appropriate start/stop cue's. Communication was always a breeze with Josh. We felt guided and also heard by Josh.

Our wedding day went flawlessly with him as our DJ/MC and we truly appreciate his warm, attentive and enthusiastic energy. Josh took care of our pre-ceremony music which was a great help off our shoulders. We had requested specific songs and even some songs with a different version and he PERFECTLY played the correct songs all flawlessly down to even requested specific start/stop times. THANK YOU JOSH!! Our specific songs included a choice for our processional, my bride processional, our recessional, reception grand entrance of our wedding party and then ourselves as the bride and groom, our first dance, a run around for a photo with every reception table for a duration of one song only, cake cutting, bouquet toss, garter removal, last group dance, and a last dance alone to embrace the ending of our grand day.
IT WAS PERFECT, and we are so grateful we chose Elegant Event Entertainment and were paired with Josh as our DJ/MC. Our wedding guest looked and shared with us how much they loved dancing at our wedding. The reception dance energy was definitely everything we desired...energetic, upbeat, fun, silly, flowy, versatile of genres, and all around good vibes. We saw family and friends dancing out on the floor that night like never before, so full of life and happy and it was such a pleasure to see :)

In addition, I can't say that he can or will be able to do this for others but our DJ was the sweetest and even went the extra mile and took personal photos and videos of the day and loaded them on a google link so that we could have a preview of our special day to hold us over till our professionals would be sent over. WOW. Truly thoughtful Josh *hand claps*. We enjoyed reviewing them whole heartedly. Another fun aspect that we loved was that we were also sent a link that had a collection of all the photos our guest took when they used the photo booth we selected as part of our package with this company. Oh my goodness we had so many great laughs previewing those. I loved that we were able to customize the words and background/backdrop to the photo booth photo layout for our special day. Such a great aspect and treat to adding on the photo booth with this vendor.

A million times, THANK YOU for such a memorable day! We will be more than happy to always offer our recommendations of Elegant Event Entertainment/DJ Josh. Be well

Experienced DJ tailored to you

We hired Josh through Elegant event entertainment's 6h Silver lake package for a wedding. We appreciated the online portal, which simplified payments and communication with detailed forms.

Josh was a pleasure to work with. He respected our playlists, managed the transitions, and supplemented his own song choices to fit the music genres. He gracefully managed the crowd and helped us with announcements throughout the entire night. Working with Josh easy, which is exactly what we were looking for in a DJ!

One reason we chose Josh is because we wanted a DJ that would respect our pronouns and use gender-inclusive language. We explicitly asked to be referred to as "the couple" or "the newlyweds" rather than "Mr. and Mrs.", and Josh was great about it. Thanks Josh for helping us throw an awesome wedding.

Best DJ Ever

Josh is hands down the world's greatest DJ. It was hit after hit—I have truly never had so much fun on a dance floor--it was MAJOR.

From start to finish, everything about working with Elegant Entertainment was easy. Most importantly, we felt included in the process. There were a lot of songs that I wanted to hear on the dance floor, which I was able to easily request in advance through their portal, and Josh was fantastic about playing those requests and keeping the dance floor packed with songs that fit the vibe. He was warm, easy to work with, the communication was great....he was just the best. I want to throw another party just to hire him again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
