Michael was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We had it at Mount Palomar, so there were three different levels he needed to appear at; and he was there seamlessly. As you can imagine, we had a lot of last minute requests. Michael took them no problem, including downloading a large proposal video we sent him the day of the wedding. He fit it in. The music was perfect choices, he really knew how to get the feel of the room and get people dancing. One of the best things to come from our wedding, as well, was the photo booth guestbook they provide. If you hire him, you have to do the photo booth and get the guestbook. As your guests get their own memory, a card is printed out for a guestbook where they can leave a message with their silly poses. It is so funny and great to see your family get silly and still leave such a warm-hearted message. Our wedding was everything we envisioned it to be, and a lot of it is thanks to Michael and elite party dj. Thank you so much for the best memories!!

Fantastic DJ!
Michael was a fantastic DJ! He showed up very early to make sure everything was set up on time. He was professional and played exactly what we asked for. We had to change up the time line multiple times and he was very quick to adjust everything for us. He kept me updated on what would be happening all through the night and communicated will all of my vendors. The photo booth was such a hit! Everyone loved it! The photo booth attendant was great he kept the party going in the photo booth for my guests. Michael even snapped a couple of candid photos for us. I cannot recommend Elite Party DJ enough. Thank you for the amazing time!

Amazing would recommend 10/10
Elite Party DJ was amazing! He had our wedding guests on the dance floor all night playing great song after great song. We also hired them to do the photobooth. During the engagement process, we were in communication. They were so attentive, quick to respond and easy to communicate with. I would recommend them 10/10!

Absolutely amazing!
I can’t say enough about Michael at Elite Party DJ. He absolutely exceeded our expectations. He puts so much effort into every little detail and you can tell he really cares. He has great communication, very easy to work with and was a lot of fun! His setup is great with great equipment. He uses a flat screen that runs a slideshow of pictures which was a great addition for our wedding guest to enjoy. We had a little mixup with the timeline that our events coordinator gave us and Michael was able to take charge and make the rest of the night run very smoothly. He knows exactly what songs draw in the most dancing. I’m pretty sure we had a full dance floor almost all night.
The photo booth was a hit with our guests! It was well worth the extra money and he puts all the pictures in a photo book for you. The quality of the book was better than we could’ve imagined. Plus you get all the pictures in a drop box folder as well to enjoy.
If you are thinking of hiring him for your event DO IT! You will not be disappointed. Thank you again for all your hard work Michael, it was a night we won’t ever forget!

Professional and flexible
We had Michael DJ our New Years Eve wedding and he did a great job. We gave him playlists that we loved and he also MC'd the evening and reworked his audio setup when our backyard wedding venue was too small for his normal setup. He was prompt, flexible and didn't add any extraneous or surprise fees. If you're having a wedding in the IE or Southern California I'd recommend him 👍

Amazing Photo Booth!
Let me start by saying I have used a number of photo booth vendors for various events I have hosted, but the services offered here are top tier. I haven't had an experience like this anywhere and their prices were better than many competitors! (I cannot speak on behalf of the DJ services only because I had a good friend of mine who we had scheduled to DJ for us well in advance.)
They were great about confirming booking even with the short time frame we gave them and have great offerings for weddings. They were very professional in every aspect of setting up, during the event, and clean up afterwards. The coolest part was the fact that they included a customized album containing all of the photos and notes written by the guests throughout the night. A great token to memorialize the event.
Mike told me that we would have the digital files within a week of the event, and we had them the next day. All of the props and other decorations were of very high quality and the photos we selected came out great!
I will definitely be keeping these guys on my short list for vendors for photo booth.

Fantastic DJ! We couldn't be happier!
Elite Party DJ was the DJ at our wedding on 10/30/21.. Michael was FANTASTIC. I mean I can't praise him enough! Our wedding was fantastic due to his wonderful music, professionalism, and helpfulness! My wedding was alternative with dark colors and gothic decor. Myself, my husband and our wedding party are heavily tattooed metalheads, and Michael all on his own without any instruction was able to watch and observe what kind of music we were enjoying and began to play more heavy rock which was AWESOME and had the dance floor packed with everyone screaming along to rock anthems! We had over 3 hours of dance time at our wedding and the dance floor was FILLED until the venue closed. The owner of our venue, who lives on the property came outside her home to frickin dance with us because his music choice was so good! She came out and gave me and my husband a hug, WHICH SHE TOLD US HAS NEVER DONE even though they hold 3 weddings a week at their property! Even the security guards at our venue approached me and my husband to say this was the best music they've heard played there! The owner of the venue told me she has never heard a better DJ and asked who he was so she can recommend him to people! That's how great Michael was! His DJ booth setup was amazing, his lighting was so cool, his photobooth was super cool and his audio was loud and crystal clear! Just amazing amazing amazing!!!

The Elite DJ
Michael Gagnier really is the ELITE PARTY DJ! He made everything so easy when it came to planning. His packages provided everything we were looking for with a photobooth and album keepsake included. When we had to change our wedding date due to covid he was flexible and worked with us. We never had to worry about Michael and he did a fantastic job making our wedding day special. We gave him our important songs list just days before and he played them all. Don't think twice about hiring Michael, he will make sure you have the wedding of your dreams.

You can't go wrong with Elite Party DJ
Where do I start but to say, hiring Michael Gagnier at Elite Party DJ was the best decision I made next to marrying my bride! Michael started our evening by providing on cue music for our ceremony which coincided precisely with our the bridal party walk up the aisle and my bride's entrance. Later he expertly navigated musical choices for our reception, dinner, and marriage celebration. We chose the full package including the photo booth, which was a true hit with our guests, and "the walk on the clouds" which was an absolutely amazing effect. Michael is a true professional, musical connoisseur, and a great guy overall, The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I strongly recommend you choose Elite Party DJ for your wedding celebration. Thank you Michael!!!!

DJ'd our Indian wedding!
Michael did an amazing job DJing our Indian wedding and reception! Our South Indian ceremony was interactive and intricate. We gave Michael a playlist of Indian instrumental music with precise cue points to play during the ceremony, and he was spot on! We also shared a playlist of Indian music, representing 3 different Indian languages, to mix with English songs for the reception. I knew it was a tall order, but Michael blew us away. Without knowing the languages, he managed to pick the best, most popular songs from the list. He also took song requests in real-time, and seamlessly integrated them throughout the night. He kept the momentum and energy up till the very end! Our guests had so much fun! Our reception timeline changed last minute, and Michael was so understanding and flexible about it. He's adaptable, intuitive, punctual and a true expert of his craft. I STRONGLY recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!

Great experience!
My father-in-law actually booked Michael for our wedding and I'm glad he did. Michael did the music for both our ceremony and reception and he was great. He was very available and responsive prior to the wedding. We took a little longer than we should have getting him pictures and our song list and he was still able to work with us with no problems. I loved his setup with the screen showing pictures of us and then later in the night it was showing videos to go with the music. He had a fog machine for our first dance which was amazing! He also had a photo booth set up as well and our guests loved it. We got a photo book that went with the booth, which i wasn't expecting initially but am so glad to have as it makes an excellent keepsake to look back on. Couldn't have been happier with Michael and his service.

Guests loved him!
He was on time, and very professional. He had an extensive list of music, and offered great suggestions for the activities music. He really helped keep the guests engaged at the reception and helped keep things moving along. He had a photo booth that everybody loved to play with and used the photos as part of our guest sign-in book. It was so creative, and now we have a great album that we love to pull out and look at often. He and my husband plotted to surprise me with the smoke machine during our first dance, and it was like dancing on clouds! It was truly a memorable events.
