There are truly no words that can even begin to describe the job Mike did and the experience he created, but I will try my best :)
My husband and I were originally supposed to get married in January, but moved our wedding up to October. Not only did we move it three months earlier, but we wound up getting married in a completely different location, 3 hours away from NJ. We knew that we wanted Mike to still officiate and be the DJ for our wedding. After explaining the situation to Mike, he graciously and excitedly said that he would still be happy to do it (how lucky for us?!).
Mike sent my husband and me a questionnaire to fill out so that he could better understand our relationship and begin to create a story to tell as he officiated our wedding. LET ME TELL YOU...the story he created from these few questions was exactly our story and the way he told it during the ceremony had our guests equally laughing, and crying. Mike, we could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony.
I can’t really describe what happened between the ceremony and the beginning of cocktail hour as we were taking pictures. All I know is that our guests were already on the dance floor immediately as cocktail hour began and the dance floor never emptied from that point on. SERIOUSLY, NEVER. We had requested only two songs to play even though we had a laundry list of songs we meant to request but never got around to it. However, it was like Mike had ESP and not only seamlessly included our requested songs but played every song we THOUGHT of requesting. His transitions between different genres and music was amazing. Every single one of our guests raved about how incredible Mike was. If you are looking for a DJ and officiant for your wedding, or any event for that matter, I could not recommend him and his company enough!

Incredible team
We loved every second of working with Elite Entertainment. Even through MULTIPLE postponements, Elite was constantly accommodating and understanding. When I first saw them at a bridal show, I was blown away by their professionalism, style and ENERGY. Tommy brought all of that and more to our special day. All of our requests were met and then some. I'm already looking for any excuse to book with them again in the future. Look no further - ELITE ENTERTAINMENT is your team!!!!

Above and Beyond What We Could Have Imagined
MIke and his crew went so far above and beyond what my wife and I ever could have imagined for our wedding. The whole process from start to finish was professional, engaging, and FUN! The event planner is awesome and allows you so much time and flexibility in planning your event. Mike is truly a one of a kind professional and helped us plan every detail to the T. At the event itself, he kept to his promise of engaging our entire audience and getting everyone to dance and have a great time. I would absolutely recommend Mike and Elite Entertainment to anyone looking for a great DJ/Entertainment experience!
Thanks Mike and EE for helping make our dream Xmas wedding come true!

Elite Entertainment
Elite entertainment was absolutely amazing! I got married on April 27, 2019 and had Dan as our DJ. Dan was so much fun and was even dancing with us at one point! He made the planning process so easy, and was so flexible with things we wanted to change up until the big day. He played the perfect mix of music to keep everyone on the dance floor all night! We received so many compliments about the entertainment- we highly recommend using them as your DJ company! We also used Elite for video and photography and they were equally as amazing. GREAT and very reliable company!

Mike is the man!!!
We had the privilege of having Mike officiate and DJ our daughter’s wedding in October 2020.
Along with his assistant, Matt, Mike was nothing short of perfect. He used the results of the
couple’s survey to create a very personal and moving ceremony, creating the perfect balance of
emotion and appropriate lightheartedness in his story. The fall ceremony was outdoors and the
reception inside a tent. Mike pays attention; he made sure the generator we needed to supply
the power to his equipment was far enough away, as to not have the noise interfere with the
ceremony, had the lighter for the unity candle at the ready, and graciously moved out of
camera range for photos. His transition from officiant to DJ was smooth and went off without a
hitch. Mike is personable, caring, and genuinely fun to be around. It is obvious that he loves
what he does, and he is a master at it. He had a full dance floor the ENTIRE night. As if by
psychic powers, he managed to play music that fit everyone’s style without a predetermined
list of songs. I couldn’t believe it when I saw my 85-year young uncle dancing among the crowd!
Our guests continue to comment on Mike’s easy-going personality, professionalism, and ability
to mix songs that work…Every. Single. Time. We had more fun than we ever imagined, and we
CANNOT thank Mike enough for making the night truly magical for all.

Mike/Elite: Simply AMAZING!
I cannot say enough good things about Elite. Mike was our MC and he was simply fantastic. He made a couple of jokes, he was entertaining, he wasn't cheesy- he did a phenomenal job. He listened to everything we asked from having certain family members and friends make toasts, to making sure our guest book got signed, to reminding me to come up and speak at the end - something I had asked him to do! If there was ever a lull in the music/dance floor, which maybe there was one or two, the music was quickly changed. Even during dinner songs some of my guests were up and dancing. My guests chanted "one more song" and Mike delivered with not one, but two more songs after I thanked everyone for coming. I cannot recommend Elite and Mike enough! In fact, some of my guests have even asked me for his contact info which I happily passed along. If you choose Mike/Elite, you will NOT be disappointed.

Beyond happy with the experience, they kept the dance floor packed all night!
We are so happy we went with Elite Entertainment for our DJ! Chris Monaco was fantastic from beginning to end. He made the planning process so easy, and was able to accommodate our busy schedules to have a FaceTime meeting to go over final logistics.
From beginning to end, the service level provided by Elite Entertainment exceeded all of our expectations! Their online planning tool made browsing and communicating song selections so easy.
Most importantly, our dance floor was PACKED all night! Chris really knew how to get the crowd moving and keep them dancing and having a blast all night! We had such a great time at our wedding, and it was thanks in large part to the talented and gracious crew at Elite Entertainment! I would recommend them to anyone!

Outstanding service from Elite & Jay!
Elite Entertainment was our favorite wedding vendor that we used! Jay was amazing; he spent over two hours with us before our wedding going through each detail with such finesse. We have never met someone more attentive, energetic and personable. He makes you feel like your wedding is the most important of his year. We highly recommend Elite Entertainment and Jay for your wedding!

Best Night!
I'm so happy we hired Elite for our wedding! The online planner was easy to use and we were able to put all of our song requests in there. Dominic did a great job working with us, and everyone had a great time at the wedding. We also got the mirror photobooth and everyone had the best time using it (especially our grandparents). We got a book with all of the photos printed at the end of the night that our guests had signed and left sweet notes in. It was honestly better than the guest book we had for everyone to sign. We looked through it that night, and were so happy to have pictures of all of our guests. I would definitely recommend Dominic and Elite!

I loved the client portal where you can select songs to play. It has clips of the songs so even if you don't know title or artist, it makes easier selections. Mike played the songs at the right times and kept the energy up even with COVID precautions. Highly recommend his services!

Best Decision Ever!
I don't have enough words to compliment or thank Elite Entertainment enough. Everybody says music can either make or break a wedding, and Dominic COMPELTELY made our wedding! From our first meeting with him in person, to multiple e-mails, to changes of venues and set-up, the answer Dominic gave us every time was "Absolutely!" or "Of course!" or "You got it!" He totally understood the "feel" we wanted our guests to have and went above and beyond to personalize the day for us. Planning a wedding during a pandemic with no dance floors allowed can be a challenge-but somehow, all ages were up and dancing (safely and outside) throughout the entire night. The feedback we received was incredible-our friends and relatives said they have never had so much fun at a wedding, and the energy Dominic brought was amazing. So easy to work with, so professional, and so fun at the same time. One of the best decisions we made was choosing Dominic to DJ/MC our wedding! Thank you!

Awesome DJ!
I have been to a few weddings that used Elite Entertainment so I knew as soon as I was engaged that I would also use them! Our DJ for our Halloween wedding was Mike, the owner of Elite Entertainment. He was wonderful to work with, attentive to what we were looking for, professional, and highly responsive. In fact, I emailed about a venue change and Mike called me within two minutes of hitting send. I told Mike we wanted music that would get people out in the dance floor and he sure delivered, our guests raved about the music selection. Given the current situation going on in the world, it was so nice to have a wonderful vendor to work with, I felt at ease through out our planning process and like I was in great hands. Thank you Mike and Elite Entertainment for being such a big part of our Hallowedding!!

Absolutely amazing!
Obviously I’m biased when I say that I had the most amazing wedding ever because of Mike! We had a small ceremony, due to covid, and had people watch along on a live stream. Mike was so responsive and answered my questions at any point! He made our ceremony all about us, he told our story, and made it so personal. My family was so impressed, wondering how Mike knew us! He was outstanding, can not say enough good things about this company!

Mike at Elite was amazing and professional! As a DJ, he was fun and energetic and made our wedding experience seamless. As a businessman, he was extremely professional, honoring all our requests and communicating regularly, even quickly responding to our last minute updates. We also used their photographer, Cyndi, and she was also very professional and amazingly thorough! We highly recommend Elite!

DJ Danner!
We booked DJ Danner through Elite Entertainment and we couldn’t be happier! We put our faith in Dan and he did not disappoint. He took the time to get to know me and my fiancé as a couple, and by the end of our wedding, we thought of him as a friend rather than a vendor. His music choice was diverse and reached the broad range of ages of our guests. Even with the crazy Covid guidelines that we had to adhere to, Dan made sure everyone was having fun. I can’t recommend him enough!

#1 best dj company in new jersey by far!!!!
Our wedding event would not have turned out as fun and vibrant and entertaining if it wasn’t for elite entertainment. Very professional, very accommodating and every single request was done immediately. We were so happy everyone had a great time and everyone complemented our DJ.

DJ Dan Fumosa was absolutely awesome! We were very lucky to have booked him for our wedding. When my wife and I met with him for our song selection, he was very attentive and gave suggestions according to our taste and wasn’t pushy at all. Very professional, but we also felt very comfortable when speaking with him and we knew we made the right choice. He played all the songs we wanted and really had the right energy throughout the whole night. He had our family/friends out on the dance floor and so was he! Everyone loved our day and we will recommend Dan to whoever needs a great DJ for their special day. Thanks Dan!

Would highly recommend!
Dominic did such an amazing job at our wedding! We gave him a select few songs that we wanted played, but I trusted that he would feel the vibe of the wedding and play what he thought would get people up on the dance floor having fun. He did just that. His energy was great and everyone raved about the song selections. I am so happy with how everything turned out!
