Best night of my life!!

My wedding was the best night of my life. A huge part of what made it so amazing and memorable was from the first conversation with Mike I knew just from his enthusiasm, to his very easy going manner and just how he was able to take the basics of what I wanted and turned it into something so magical. Elite Entertainment definitely is a fitting name for this company because everything from personalizing our ceremony in the most amazing way and really got what we wanted and made it very fitting for us. All of our guest could not stop raving about how beautiful the ceremony was. To the reception, we wanted it to be a big party celebration and that is exactly what we got. Great with helping with song recommendations and variety of song, Mike made this whole process so much easier because I knew I could give him the information he needed and he ran with it and it was hands down the best night of our lives so far. I have nothing negative to say. To wrap this up Elite Entertainement especially Mike who was our officiant, our dj, the man who brought the excitement and I have to say the Elite boys really brought the fun and energy to the reception. Not one guest had a complaint. Everyone loved the ceremony, the reception, the music, the vibe, all of it. No one was on their phones, everyone was dancing and socializing, and I was told by many people it was one of the best weddings they have been to. I would definitely recommend Mike to be an officiant and Dj his professionalism is out of this world and he is so captivating. You can not go wrong with these guys. Also there photo booth was a huge hit with my guests and the whole wedding party.

Nor'easter Wedding!

We had the greatest pleasure of working with Dave as DJ, Cyndi and Chris as photographers. We could not have asked for anything more. Their attention to detail, their timeliness of everything, absolutely not one complaint would highly recommend them and the fact that they had to show up in the middle of a northeaster, kudos to them, no problem. They are a very reasonable company to deal with monetarily. The process is very easy. There was not one thing that we had to think about, they took care of everything.I would highly highly recommend them for your celebration!! outstanding!

Best Night Ever!!!

There are simply not enough words to describe just how awesome the Elite team is. Dominic was our DJ and he was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He was super communicative and made sure everything was perfect leading up to the reception. He made sure to run through everything with me right before entrances just to make sure it was perfect. The dance floor was packed all night long and I received so many compliments. I simply cannot recommend Elite, especially Dominic, more!

Best DJ ever!

Mike was the absolute best. When we met with him before our wedding, we felt so confident that he was a perfect fit. And we were absolutely right! He kept the dance floor packed the entire night. All of my family and friends haven’t stopped talking about how amazing the music was all night. Song after song, Mike didn’t miss. We can’t thank Mike and Elite enough! Seriously the best.

DJ Bobby was the BEST DJ we could’ve asked for, for our wedding

DJ Bobby was truly one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding! We cannot say enough amazing things about him. From the very beginning, he was so kind, professional, fun, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. He checked in with us multiple times leading up to the wedding and took the time to have such an in-depth phone call with us beforehand to go over everything we wanted. He made us feel completely reassured and confident that we were in good hands.

And he absolutely DELIVERED! He was spot-on with every single song throughout our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We gave him a few songs that we loved as a starting point for the reception, and he somehow took those songs and completely matched the vibe we were going for with every other song he played. The music was PERFECT, and our dance floor was packed all night!

But what made DJ Bobby really stand out was his personality. He had the BEST attitude and energy and was so much fun to have there. He didn’t just stand behind the DJ booth all night—he actually got out on the dance floor and danced with us and our guests! And when I tell you this man has MOVES… his Michael Jackson-style dance moves had everyone laughing, dancing, and having the best time.

He truly seems like such a genuinely good person, and it was so clear that he wanted us and our guests to have the absolute best time. He went above and beyond in every way, and we are SO grateful that he was part of our wedding day.

Honestly, we want to have another party solely so we can book DJ Bobby again! If you are looking for a DJ who is talented, fun, attentive, professional, and genuinely cares about your experience, BOOK DJ BOBBY. You will not regret it!

BEST DJ Experience

From the beginning to the end, the entire process with Elite Entertainment was so smooth. Each meeting we had with them, they made us feel so confident that we were going to be taken care of. We honestly had no worries going into our wedding day.

We had the pleasure of having Tommy as our DJ and he was absolutely amazing! One of our biggest request was that we wanted people on the dance floor, and he definitely delivered. Before salads were even out, he already had the dance floor packed! The vibes and music were great all night. We've heard nothing but great things from our guests about the music and how much fun they had.

We also booked the photobooth and a saxophone player through Elite, and both were a huge hit. Dan the Sax man absolutely crushed it and brought the energy to the dance floor with our guests. It was such a fun addition to the night.

The photobooth was also a favorite, and we loved getting an album at the end of the night filled with all the pictures and messages from our guests. It was such a nice keepsake to have from the wedding.

Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Dom, DJ Tommy, Dan, and the entire Elite Team helped make our wedding exactly what we wanted. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ and entertainment for their wedding!

Mike was great!

We used Mike's services for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Everything went very smoothly. We had a lot of song requests but Mike was totally flexible and played a bunch of our favorites! He's a great MC too, very funny!

Mike was organized, helpful, easy to work with and just all around outstanding! We also used Elite Entertainment for our photo booth and videographer. They made everything easy and we didn’t have to worry about any details they took care of everything. Everybody was up dancing and again, Mike was phenomenal. I would highly recommend Elite Entertainment, they are truly the best!

We added a saxophone player from Elite as he was great! Mike met via zoom and really provided everything asked of him and he created a timeline and made everything so easy and wonderful!

The real deal!

Tommy Monaco is the real deal. Truly, what a talent! Music was a really important part of our wedding as I work in the industry, specifically the EDM/dance music world, so our expectations were super high! Tommy is just unreal. Beyond being a super kind and professional person, his transitions and selections completely tied all of our requests together and turned the night into something unforgettable. We met with him a month before the wedding to nail everything down and he was so easy to work with. He even offered his phone number to our violinist who flew in from out of state so they could coordinate before the big day. His energy and music completely captivated people. He played alongside a drummer and saxophonist seamlessly!!. Our entire guest list was on the dance floor and people of all ages did not stop dancing the entire tonight. It was truly surreal. We cannot recommend him enough, one of the major highlights of our big day, he is just fantastic. BOOK HIM!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have worked with Elite for years. Mike Walter and his staff are true professionals that can read a room and play music that assures the success of the reception. They are extremely cooperative using our house systems, very neat and a group of great guys to work with.
