    Amazing!! Wonderful experience.

    Josh was our DJ and he did an awesome job! Super responsive, professional, and easy to work with. He was expecting his wife to go into labor a couple days after our wedding and we appreciated him letting us know, getting a back up in place, and still being fully present for us (thankfully everything worked out). Highly recommend. And congrats to Josh on his growing family!

    5.13.23 wedding

    We had people on the dance floor all night. Our venue messed up and thanks to DJ Josh and Chris the guests had NO idea. They helped with microphones and everyone could actually hear us perfectly. I would hire again in a heartbeat. I've been to 25 weddings where the DJ service was lackluster to say the least. NO LACKLUSTER HERE!!! :)

    A Great Day with A great DJ!

    We hired Josh Smeaton from Elegant Event Entertainment and we are SO happy we did! We had an absolutely terrific wedding day with him as our DJ. Their site to build your music library was so helpful and the guides and forms were easy to fill out. Josh played all of our favorite music we requested and he was very attentive and thoughtful. We had a BLAST at our wedding!

    Highly Reccomend EEE

    Highly recommend Elegant Event Entertainment for DJ services. The website the company provides is easy to organize all the important songs we wanted for the wedding. Josh made it work with songs we wanted at certain intervals and brought the house down with surprises we had put in place like a flower brother song and mother bride dance song. Many of my guests raved about the music which can be a hit or miss when not followed correctly. We are so thankful he listened to our requests and made the night amazing with our eclectic playlist. Thank you so much for the amazing MC skills and music that uplifted the entire day!

    Elegant event entertainment review

    Josh Smeaton was the Dj we worked with for our wedding. While for some, many aspects of their wedding are important. For us, it was the music. When I met with Josh I explained the type of music we like which is not your traditional wedding music. Josh was so professional and personable which was key. Our party consisted of people who simply love to dance and did Josh deliver. The portal EEE uses is easy and intuitive. We were able to pick songs we wanted for the cocktail hour and reception. Josh had everyone on the dance floor having the best time! Hands down the best DJ and would recommend to anyone!

    Best DJ ever!!

    For my wedding, the DJ and music were one of the most important things to me. I’m so glad I picked EEE and DJ Josh! He was so friendly and great to work with. He even followed us to a new date and venue when we had to change! They keep you updated on the whole process and make it all super easy! The music was FIRE and I absolutely loved every second! I never wanted to leave the dance floor and everyone had fun! Even with the shoe game we played Josh kept it appropriate but was also super fun! And he was a fun DJ the whole night! And would always check in with us if we needed anything or had any requests. I was very impressed and happy! Hire Josh and EEE Entertainment!

    Josh was the best wedding DJ!

    Josh did such an amazing job at our wedding. He truly made our night everything and more! Our guests are still complimenting us on how much fun they had at the wedding and how great DJ Josh was. His music cues were on point and he was able to gauge the crowd and get the party started for the reception and dancing portion of our wedding. He also did a great job sending us routine correspondence and timelines leading up to the wedding. From weddings we have attended, the DJ really makes or breaks the night and hiring a professional DJ is so important for and makes all the difference. We highly recommend Josh for your wedding night. He will not disappoint!

    Top Notch DJ

    Planning our wedding was a ton of work, as I think anyone can relate to, but when it came to lining up our DJ, the process was as straightforward as it could have been. DJ Josh was transparent and communicative throughout, and patiently talked us through all the little things we needed to decide on. When our big day finally arrived, Josh was awesome. The music was just right, his announcements were clear, and when we asked for a microphone to talk to our guests, which we hadn't planned beforehand, he improvised right with us without missing a beat. My wife and I both highly recommend Elegant Entertainment and DJ Josh.

    DJ Josh is great!

    Wedding planning is beyond overwhelming, so when we reached out to EEE and set up our meeting with Josh, he made us feel right at ease. He guided us as best he could even before we booked his services. He helped us understand the whole process with such simplicity that we knew we had to work with him! During the wedding planning process he was just so great and helpful and kept reminding us that he is there to help with whatever he could. Wedding day arrives and it was all amazing. The music was GREAT and all are guest raved and danced the night away. I would 100/100 recommend DJ Josh!

    Josh was amazing in every way! He played all the music we requested, and kept me dancing the whole night. Our family had a blast!
    He's communication during wedding planning is also amazing!

    Josh was incredable

    Josh and EE where amazing, the photo booth was great fun for all, Josh was extremely professional and made the dance floor pop all night long. He had a skill to play the right songs at the right time.

    If i could do the whole thing again I would not change a thing.

    The detailed list of songs to play definitely helped Josh set up his mix.

    DJ Josh was amazing and made our wedding day unforgettable

    We hired Elegant Event Entertainment for our wedding and were matched with DJ Josh. We could not have imagined a better DJ and experience for our special day. Josh is all about catering to the musical tastes of the bride and groom, while also taking the reigns for finding similar sounding music. EEE has an online portal where you can designate the songs you want for each section of the day so it makes planning a breeze. Josh also had the added task of trading off the musical baton between a live band that we hired and his tunes, and he pulled it off smoother than the icing on our wedding cake. Not only that, but Josh did a superb job of MC'ing the event and helping guide the evening for our guests. I've been to so many weddings where the DJ does not react to the crowd vibe and does their own thing and it can be a real party downer. Josh kept up with the crowd's vibe and kept the party going all day and all night.

    Some other aspects worth mentioning:
    -Elegant Event Entertainment was stellar in handling our wedding delays due to the pandemic; we had to delay our wedding a full year and they could not have been more accommodating.

    -Josh set up really awesome dance floor lighting, as well as some colorful uplighting that matched our wedding colors that highlighted the Venue's beautiful trees in their Walnut Grove.

    -Josh shot some photos and video during the event and sent them to us right after our wedding which was so awesome, especially since it takes wedding photographers a very long time to process and finalize all the pro shots. These were lovely to look back on our day and appreciate. The video he snagged of our Hora dance is priceless since everyone was able to participate and therefore no one else was able to capture it (we didn't hire a videographer).

    And Josh, if you are reading thing, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You made our day so special and we are so thankful for your amazing skills and kindness throughout the planning and the day of. You really made our day so positively memorable.

    Much appreciation
    Mike and Vicki

    Elegant Event Entertainment provided the DJ services for our daughter's wedding, and Jason Jones was fantastic! He truly kept the party going all night, and the dance floor was always full! He was a pleasure to work with, was very professional, and we received many compliments on him from our guests!

    Awesome DJ!

    We used Elegant Entertainment for our wedding last November.

    It was a great choice! Josh was our DJ and he was incredible! We had to work against a tight time line and he took it in stride!

    He told us that it was his main priority that we just enjoy our day and we did just that.

    He was able to play the songs we wanted and improvised with songs that fit our needs perfectly.

    Thank you Josh and crew! Don’t hesitate to hire them!

    Josh is amazing

    We just got married and Josh was our DJ. I cannot put into words how much we appreciated and loved him. Every single person that was at our wedding has complimented him.
    We had a few last minute adjustments and he was SO flexible. No matter what happened, he was prepared and was able to corral everyone.
    He had our guests cracking up the whole time but was completely sincere and serious when he needed to be.
    I’m the worst planner and he took the reigns when needed. I told him what songs we wanted for certain dances/events and he knew exactly how to transition them to make everything seamless. If you’re looking for a DJ book EEEDJ’s and request Josh!

    Excellent DJ Chris

    Our wedding was on 8/17/19 and our DJ was Chris. He was outstanding from prior to the wedding helping me set up to the wedding day. We could not have been happier or have picked better! The dance floor was never empty! The song list and announcements were well planned and could tell Chris had experience at what he did. Thanks Much Chris!! We all had a wonderful time dancing!

    We had DJ Josh at our wedding and I couldn't stop dancing! As soon as I talked to Chris, I knew Elegant was the right DJ for us. There planning system is really easy and it was fun to be able to pick all the songs we wanted to hear, as well as make special requests. We had a Skype meeting with Josh a few weeks before the wedding to get to know each other and to talk about the vibe we were going for. He was really accommodating when it come to some special request we had — I wanted to do a special Irish dance and he waited until me and my dad were ready before playing it. He also put together a super fun Beyonce mix to play instead of a bouquet toss! Josh was really fun and kept the party going until the very last song. I danced SO MUCH! Great guy, great company, and a super great value!

    Our wedding was an absolute blast and it was all because of our fantastic DJ. Chris was always two steps ahead of us and knew exactly what we wanted. From our incessant set-up requests, to multiple life performances, to the exact playlist we wanted, he knew what he was doing the entire time. They made our wedding incredible and people danced the ENTIRE night!!!

    Elegant events is seriously amazing! We were so happy that we selected Elegant Event to be our wedding DJ. They returned all our calls and answered all our questions in both a timely and professional manner. We had met with 2 other companies prior to Elegant that weren't a good fit. Daryl was seriously amazing. A DJ can really make or break an event. Darryl played most of the songs that we had picked, all at the appropriate times. He had the exact right level of involvement as an MC. We got so many compliments on his service. I cannot say enough about how great of a job he did.

    Loved Chris with Elegant Event Entertainment! We chose EEE to DJ at our wedding, and they were easy to work with, quick to respond, had a great online portal for us to chose songs, and sat down with me before the wedding to go over any last minute details! We had a string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour, but EEE provided mics so we could make sure everyone could hear it. Then when it was their turn to DJ at dinner, they played our favorite songs from rom-coms like Sleepless in Seattle, My Best Friend's Wedding, While You Were Sleeping, and then played a mix of old and new dance music for the reception. Everyone had a great time on the dance floor, and they didn't play any of my "Do not play" songs (like the Cha Cha Slide). Super happy with them! Would definitely recommend.

    My husband and I got married on June 26th, 2016. We came across Elegant Events Entertainment (“EEE”) as they were recommended to us by our coordinators at our venue. Daryl was our DJ for our big day and we could not have asked for a better experience or better DJ. Throughout the process, Daryl kept in touch with us and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted out of our big day. The portal that you set up for your big day through the EEE was so helpful in getting ideas for all of the main songs for the whole day. My husband and I are extremely indecisive, and just wanted everyone to get out on the dance floor and enjoy the party and Daryl provided the perfect atmosphere for just that. The DJ completely sets the tone for your entire wedding and our guests are still complementing us on how amazing our whole day was. Daryl ensured everything ran smoothly, and there was not a single thing that went wrong. The sound system was perfect for the ceremony and reception. We could not consider ourselves more fortunate that we chose EEE for our big day and that we had Daryl with us every step of the way.

    You won't be disappointed if you book with EEE. Our DJ, Daryl hosted our daughters' wedding at Walnut Grove in Moorpark and did a phenomenal job. The dance floor was packed the whole night! He went above and beyond to make sure our event was the best it could be. He and the company are so easy to work with - what's most important to them is that your event is the best. We got their name from the preferred vendor list from our venue.

    Chris is a wonderfully professional, highly talented DJ. His online planning system made preparing our wedding day a breeze! He made the dance floor epic - literally had every one of our guests on the dance floor for an epic last dance and for most of the other songs leading up to it! Thanks, Chris!
