  3. Perfect DJ Match System — Elevate Entertainment's proprietary 5-step matching process pairs clients with entertainment professionals whose personalities, styles, and strengths align with their specific vision.

  5. Custom-Tailored Experiences — Rejecting the one-size-fits-all approach common in the industry, Elevate Entertainment meticulously customizes each event through detailed consultations and continuous refinement to ensure the entertainment perfectly aligns with the client's unique vision.

Amazing, sensational, best decision you will ever make!

First, let me start by saying that we used Elevate for our daughter's wedding June of 2020 (specifically Broc and Noah) and they were fabulous! SENATIONAL! Our guests still talk about their wedding and reception as being one of the best they have ever been to! Since then, I have coordinated both of my daughter's best friend's weddings and used Elevate again, specifically Noah at both. I absolutely love Broc and Noah and will continue to use them for all my future events. They are both so professional, energetic, full of life and fun! They definitely know how to engage their audience and make sure everyone is having the best time! They talk with everyone and get everyone in engaged in the games, contests, dancing, and singing. I will ONLY hire Elevate from here on out regardless of the event!! Not only have I developed a professional relationship with them but also a friendship. They are the best!! Your guests will have the best time and will talk about your event for years after!

BEST DJ ever! DJ Renzo w/ Elevate.

Elevate was a great and professional service. Our DJ Renzo was THE BEST possible person to host our event. Our meeting was thorough and helped us nail down the timeline, get the things we wanted scheduled and helped us add things we didn’t even know we wanted. We’re glad he did! After talking with us Renzo recommended a few games. We started with a game called survivor and it really helped set the tone for the night. The music was great, vibes were high. Renzo exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Thank you 1,000x !!!

It doesn’t get better than Elevate Entertainment!

Elevate Entertainment is the best of the very best. We met with Broc months before the wedding when we originally decided to have an elite DJ. After just a few touch points with him, we knew we needed him as part of our celebration. He made us feel more in love and excited about our wedding every time we spoke. Broc is an absolute dynamo with acute attention to detail and a golden heart. He was always two steps ahead of our wedding coordinator, making sure we were hydrated and without a need in the world. He even built my dinner plate!! He facilitated core memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Superior communication and professionalism. We cannot recommend him or the Elevate fam enough!

More than 5 stars!!

We highly recommend Broc as your wedding DJ. From the first time we met him he was very professional, attentive and completely in tune with the vibe we wanted for our wedding day. Every song was perfectly curated to match the energy of our guests. Broc’s seamless transitions kept the dance floor packed all night long. Broc truly went above and beyond, even incorporating special requests. The lighting and sound setup were flawless, creating an atmosphere that felt both intimate and electric. So many of our wedding guests told us it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Thanks to Broc for playing a huge part in that. If you are looking for a DJ and entertainment that will make your wedding unforgettable look no further. Broc thank you so much for making our wedding and absolute dream. You deserve more than 5 stars.

Literal lifesaver

Our original DJ canceled on the day of our event, which could have turned into an incredibly stressful situation. However, thanks to Elevate, it wasn't. They quickly arranged for a replacement, and we were fortunate enough to have Kalani. He went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. When rain forced a last-minute venue change just 30 minutes before the ceremony, Kalani adapted effortlessly and without a single complaint. To top it all off, he literally became a lifesaver, stepping in to perform the Heimlich maneuver when a guest was choking. Kalani truly made our day unforgettable, and we are beyond grateful for his dedication and care.

Thankful for Elevate and Ian Lee!

We absolutely loved our experience with Elevate Entertainment, especially with our DJ Ian Lee! We knew we hit the jackpot with him when he met us for lunch a couple weeks before the wedding to talk details, and by the end of lunch he was teaching my husband a dance move out on the patio.
Fast forward to wedding day, and he met us at the ceremony venue with a hug and immediately asked if there was anything he could do to help - we could tell he genuinely cared about our wedding day. His energy at the reception was incredible - he kept the dance floor full all night long! Several of our guests came up to us after the wedding to compliment how awesome our DJ was - and we 100% agree!

Best DJs available!!

These guys rock. Ian was our DJ and he met with us in person and we were able to share our playlists with him and discuss every song we wanted for all occasions and got his recommendations as well. We met for 2 hours because it just became really fun to get to know him. At the wedding it was like he was part of our friend groups and got an invite himself. Everyone loved him and talked about how awesome he was. We had lots of activities and he made sure there was no downtime for anybody!!!

Broc saved the day!!

Broc and Elevate Entertainment stepped up to save the day when our DJ cancelled one month before our wedding. Our DJ, John Langley was truly amazing!!. We had a small intimate wedding/ reception with family and a few friends. The music and timing were perfect and exactly what we asked for. John was a total professional, interacting with the guests while keeping everything upbeat and moving smoothly. It was truly an event we will never forget. Highly recommend Elevate Entertainment and John for anyone wanting a memorable experience.

Elevate Entertainment helps create an amazing event and are very talented at doing it!!

We used Elevate Entertainment for our wedding ceremony and reception and were so impressed!! We had Braden as our DJ and he was amazing!! He was great to work with during the planning process and the day of. There were some areas where we didn't really know what songs/music we were wanting and Braden was very helpful and made great suggestions in helping us figure out what we were going for. During the reception he was a great host engaging with our guests, knew how to feel the crowd out, and was always checking in with us to let us know what was next/seeing how we were doing. He truly wants to help make your event special and is talented at what he does. We highly recommend using Braden as your DJ, he made the entire process stress free, run smoothly and so much fun!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
