    The Best NorCal DJ

    Eli Freshmode was everything we had hoped for in a wedding DJ. He made everything go very smoothly for our event and was able to accommodate a long list of requests and tailored his playlists to our style. He added meaningful input during our meetings and took what we had in mind and made everything better. Thank you Eli!

    You want DJ Eli Freshmode!!!!!

    For starters, Eli is SO nice, easygoing, and had hands down the least stressful contract to understand out of all our vendors. He was so easy to work with, listened to and respected all of our requests, made great suggestions where necessary, and most importantly delivered on making our reception an awesome dance party!!! He was the perfect emcee for the night and also provided audio equipment for the ceremony, and great lights for the dance floor! We had a little apprehension pre-wedding day with regards to our live music vendor, but Eli assured us he would be ready to go with music if there were any issues. We felt totally at ease knowing Eli was there to take care of any hiccups. Eli delivered on all his promises and helped to give us the wedding night of our dreams! The dance floor was so fun we did not want the night to end!!!

    You want a fantastic night - this guy will make it happen!

    We hired Eli for our wedding and I am so glad we did!!
    Our guests had so much fun on the dance floor - they still talk about it up to this day lol. Transitioning is so smooth and he KNOWS how to read the crowd.
    I also had special requests like my bestfriend FaceTiming in for her speech, and I had friends who did live music for us and he made all these happen without me stressing about it.

    We had so much fun throughout the whole process as well. Can’t wait to hire him again for our next events!

    An incredible Wedding DJ

    Look no further! Eli is the DJ you need to hire for your upcoming special event! From our first meeting, Eli made us feel at ease and heard. During our first meeting we talked for almost two hours about music and he instantly felt like a close friend. Leading up to our wedding he met with us virtually a few more times to make sure he understood our vision and desires for music. The day of the wedding there were several times throughout the day I turned to my husband and said, "do you hear what's playing?!" followed by a "how'd he know?!", well he knew because he listened to every small comment we made. I'm also convinced he can slightly read minds, he's that good! The day of he did an incredible job with our unique bridal party grand entrance announcements. He is very personable and articulate on the mic. He also talked our best man into doing a unique entrance with music to his toast and it was epic and super memorable. We got a TON of compliments on the DJ and music throughout the evening. Eli was open and willing to try new games, entrance themes, and to make our event truly unique. We'd love to have Eli join us for any upcoming music need!

    I highly recommend DJ Freshmode!

    We are so glad we hired Dj Freshmode for our wedding! Eli did a great job from start to finish. He met with us twice before the big day and really made an effort to get to know us and our musical tastes. The music he planned for us was truly curated and specific to us which made the big day all the more special. He also did a great job as MC and kept the flow of the wedding going through the entire event. He’s friendly, easy to communicate with generally a great person to work with. He has a great equipment set up and helped us with all of our sound needs. I highly recommend DJ Freshmode!

    This DJ brings the party - Hire Him!

    Hire Him - Two simple words that sum up our experience with Eli at our wedding. If you want more info, please feel free to continue reading on, however, don't take too long because he books up fast.

    My wife and I had the pleasure of planning a wedding in 2020 with COVID causing us to make changes every month. Eli was one of the few constants. Throughout the planning process his enthusiasm, creativity, and excitement helped calm our nerves.Eli even went the extra mile by helping us come up with a plan to live stream the wedding via Zoom. Without him it would not have been possible.

    At the event he was the definition of professional. He was on time. He nailed the timing on all of our songs (not easy todo since we had so many) and absolutely crushed the dance party. I look forward to working with Eli again on our next event. Thank you again!

    Amazingly talented and goes above and beyond!

    Eli was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ! Everyone had a blast and Eli listened to everything my husband and I wanted for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing portion. I could not imagine it being more perfect. He is great at reading the crowd and knowing when to turn it up or slow it down. He also went above and beyond for us and was able to move all of his equipment inside and restart the dancing party portion of our wedding after it unexpectedly started pouring rain outside. It only took him a few minutes to move all of this equipment into the barn at our venue to continue the party and he had a smile on his face the whole time! Eli was extremely easy to work with, responsive to emails, and made my wedding a literal dream. He is also a great MC, kept everything very professional and simple when it needed to be. Everything I had imagined for my wedding day and more! I 120% recommend Eli for any DJ needs.

    Dj eli freshmode is incredible!

    DJ Eli Freshmode is THE BEST! We had the most epic dance floor at our wedding thanks to him. As soon as we learned that he plays vinyl records, we knew he was our DJ. He is so down-to-earth and easy to work with. He helped make awesome recommendations for ceremony songs. He has a vast knowledge of music that made the evening so much fun for all of our guests! Everyone from our flower girl to our grandparents were on the dance floor. He started off our reception with great energy by introducing the wedding party and their chosen intro songs. He is awesome and secretly worked with my sisters who incorporated music into their MOH speech. One of the highlights of our wedding was a flash mob to Blanco Brown’s Git Up coordinated by our wedding party and DJ Eli Freshmode. We were so surprised and still can’t believe it. We stayed on the dance floor the whole night because every song was perfect and so much fun. He read the vibe of the crowd and kept our dance floor bumpin’! We had requested Aerosmith “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” as our final song and the night ended with all our friends and family in a big circle together around us singing the words. We still have our guests reaching out to us to compliment DJ Eli Freshmode. Even our photographer and videographer were expressing how much fun our dance floor was to us afterwards. We cannot over-enthuse how incredible DJ Eli Freshmode is and thank him enough for truly making our wedding so memorable and epic.

    The best dj ever!

    Eli was simply the best DJ we could have ever hired for our wedding! We not only had two setup locations, we had three. He executed it all perfectly and his energy was infectious! We had people of all ages at our wedding and were specific about some things and other things we asked him to take the wheel on, such as the music for the older guests and when I say we were all dancing ALL night, everyone was dancing all night long. It was the best choice we could have made hiring Eli! He was responsive, professional and so much fun to have be a part of our day. If you're looking for a DJ, look not further...Eli is your guy! I would recommend him for any event and hire him again in a heartbeat.

    The most epic dance party!

    Eli was absolutely amazing!! It was our dream to have an epic dance party in the woods and Eli went above and beyond to make it happen. From the moment we met and talked about our vision and our music choices I felt confident that Eli would would be a great DJ for our wedding, but we were blown away the day of the wedding. We loved that he was able to execute a diverse playlist throughout the night that kept the party going till the end when no one wanted to stop dancing. Plus he was a terrific emcee! We also got so many compliments from our guests about how great the DJ was. Eli is very professional, accommodating, and just a really great guy who's clearly passionate about music and cares about his clients. I can't say enough about Eli, we highly highly recommend him!

    Authentic, Eclectic and So Fun!

    From our very first correspondence with Eli, we knew it was a match made in heaven. As two music enthusiasts, we wanted to make sure the DJ we hired for our wedding was passionate and well versed in the array of music we love. We could not imagine Bruno Mars or Beyoncé playing at our wedding so finding someone who loved Arcade Fire and ELO as much as we did was a huge relief. From the get go, Eli understood our vision and worked closely with us to make sure everything we wanted came to life. We were very involved with choosing all of the music and appreciate him being so receptive to our input. With all of the details of a wedding, we never worried about anything that Eli was in charge. On the day of our wedding, Eli nailed our playlist and made the day feel authentic to us. He was so great at keeping everything moving and was always there for a last minute change. He captured the exact feeling we wanted on our wedding day. The music he played was spot on and we received so many compliments on it – especially once the reception started. From 70s Disco to Hot Chip, it was a dance party to remember. Thank you for making our wedding a day that we will never forget. We wish we could do it all over again. Luckily we can relive the magic when we hear all of the amazing songs you played. XO The Kuzniars

    DJ Eli was an absolute blast!

    From beginning to end, Eli was there for us! We had a themed wedding, based around the video game that my wife and I bonded over, so we only had so much to give him in the way of specific music, but he came through and filled in the gaps. As an MC, he read the room incredibly well, knew when to play what type of song, and we told him to make judgement calls on guest requests based on our style, and he did that with tact and professionalism. The party went on the entire night, the dance floor was always full, and everything went on a great pace. The cherry on top, and this was HUGE for me. We had a little scare with our officiate being a little late, and when I went to tell him, before I could tell him that it would only be a couple of minutes he said "If she can send me her draft of the ceremony, I'm ordained, I'll figure it out, and everything will be fine". He answered any and all of our questions no matter how small, big, or plain odd. We could not recommend him enough!

    Excellent DJ

    You will not regret booking Eli as your DJ. He was so easy to work with from consultation to payment to handling everything on the day of. We met with him about a year before our wedding and he gave us a worksheet to start working on with our song preferences and advised me to think about creating some Spotify playlists so he would have an idea of what kind of music my husband and I are into and what our crowd would like. About 2 weeks before the wedding, he checked in with us. This is when I sent him over our worksheet and the links to our playlists. He also allowed me to pay him in advance via Venmo which was such a relief as I was nervous about trying to keep track of all that cash on the wedding day.

    Day of- I was obviously oblivious to when he arrived and set up as I was busy getting ready. What I do know is that everything from the ceremony, cocktail hour and all the reception events went off without a hitch. He kept the reception events (toasts, cake cutting, dances etc.) on time and kept everyone dancing and having a fantastic time all night. He managed to fit in all of the guest song requests as well as multiple plays of our favorite songs. I highly recommend him for weddings. He made the whole process so seamless and stress free!

    Eli is our fav DJ ever!!!! He's so good at what he does, his passion shines through his music! He knows how to gage the crowd and play the right music for his audience. He's super friendly and easy going-- I would highly recommend him to anyone getting married looking for a DJ. We actually found Eli from Yelp thanks to all the positive reviews and I can't express enough how happy we are to have found him! Our wedding was PERFECT!

    DJ Eli freshmode: should be DJ Eli fresh-est-mode! His music pace and choice kept the dance floor hoping until the very end, and his cocktail hour flow lent such a fun vibe to the mingling! His commentary was great and lively. I can’t imagine a better DJ could have existed for our wedding! He was also so easy to work with! He listened to us very closely and asked us tons of questions. We were a little concerned since he had not done a wedding at our venue before, but he was incredibly proactive, visiting the venue before our wedding and then he executed absolutely perfectly. 10/10 would DJ again!

    For me choosing a DJ was the most difficult vendor to decide upon! I spoke to several, but it wasn't until my husband and I spoke to Eli that we instantly knew he was what we had been searching for! Eli is a blast to work with! He is professional, entertaining and he is truly there for the bride and groom. We could not be happier that Eli was our DJ he did an incredible job. All we wanted was for an epic dance party and Eli delivered. Our guests loved him! I highly recommend using Eli as your wedding DJ or any other DJ needs. He is truly passionate about what he does! I would hire Eli over and over again and will forever recommend him! Thanks Eli a memorable wedding!

    I would highly recommend DJ Eli FreshMode to anyone! From the initial first meeting to the end of the wedding, everything was great. He really kept the party going all night long at our wedding.

    The wedding was one week ago and guests are still raving about our DJ...I mean, how often does that happen?! The dance floor was literally poppin' the whole time. That just shows how great he was.

    Not only did he keep the party going all night, but he also helped a ton with making sure the overall wedding went smoothly (announcing bridal party, speeches, cake cutting and so much more).

    Thank you Eli for contributing in making our wedding day perfect and unforgettable! :)

    Eli was hands down one of the best wedding DJ's we've seen. He has an awesome personality and really knows how to keep people on the dance floor. He was extremely easy to work with, organized, and worked with us on our budget and allowed for flexible payments. He was a HUGE help in keeping with our timeline for the reception and had no issue with taking on additional tasks that we asked of him since we didn't have an actual wedding planner. He played the right music at the right time to keep everyone dancing and was great at reading the crowed. He has an awesome taste in music. 6 out of 5 stars!

    Hey everyone if your looking for the perfect D.J. for your special occasion, you can stop looking. Eli FreshMode is off the charts. My only daughter got married in Lake Tahoe last weekend and Eli made a very special occasion even more special. He was so kind, friendly and professional. He had an exceptional range of music. If someone had a request it was up and playing. He was a master of knowing the vib or feeling of the crowd. We danced for 3 1/2 hours non stop. People that hadn't danced in years were dancing. As a father I was very nervous about my toast. As if he knew me (we just met this day) all my life he gave some calming advice and encouraged me. Thank you Eli for making a special day even more special. Your the are the BEST!!!! A true Artist!!!!
