    Would choose/recommend Rick again and again

    Being part of the wedding world myself I see a lot of vendors. When it came time to choosing vendors for my own big day I only had one DJ in mind, and that was Rick and Your Elite Celebration. Rick has always be a great DJ to work with, with his awesome personality, and his ability to connect with people and read the room, all the while showing professionalism and being just the right amount of entertainment. When booking with Your Elite Celebration you know exactly who your going to get, it’s Rick and only Rick. So if you want a five star DJ that’s also affordable you should definitely go with Rick and Your Elite Celebration ...I have no regrets and had the best night of my life! Thanks Rick!

    Your Elite Celebration's reply:

    Bri, you're awesome. Thank you so much for this. I'm going to say you now are officially the most chill bride I have met up to this point. I'm thinking your wedding photography experience has a lot to do with it as did your vision. It really was a great night.

    Great personality and great room awareness!

    My wife and I had DJ Rick for our wedding and I have nothing but good things to say about him. First off we had originally booked him for a date in June that needed to be moved as our son was born at the end of April. DJ Rick was very accommodating of our need to move the date. When it came time to have our phone conference to iron out the final details, DJ Rick was prepared with the list we filled out on the website and even let us change a couple songs that we wanted. When the day came, DJ Rick was at our venue and set up before we had arrived. We had one last talk about the plan for the evening and things got started. When the reception started, DJ Rick’s timing with all of our planned music was perfect. He made sure everyone was settled and kept our “pre-dancing events” moving along smoothly. Once the dance floor was open, he played a good variety that could appeal to everyone in attendance. He also got through all of our special request songs that we wanted to hear. If there came a point that there was a lull in the dancing, DJ Rick smoothly transitioned into a different song and got more people back on the dance floor. Personally I feel the DJ is the most important part of a wedding reception and can either make the night perfect and fun, or make it dull and boring. DJ Rick have is the perfect fun night we wanted and we wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

    Your Elite Celebration's reply:

    What a great review Zach, thank you I don't know what to say. I really do appreciate all the kind words. I'll always put my best performance forward for my brides and grooms.

    Absolutely phenomenal

    5 stars doesn’t justify the professionalism and experience. Rick made sure to have everything the way we wanted. Used our list we gave him and was able to read the room brilliantly. No one ever stopped dancing.

    Your Elite Celebration's reply:

    Kailey and JJ, you guys had such a fun group. Everyone was excited and you could just feel the energy in the room. Thanks for the great review and congrats!

    Absolute perfection

    Rick and Your Elite Celebration was the glue that made our wedding run so smoothly. From the very beginning, Rick was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. Rick ran the show. I felt as if I could enjoy every second of my wedding night without worrying about a thing because I knew Rick had it under control. I couldn’t have asked for anything more from him. Honestly could not recommend Your Elite Celebrstion enough. Exceptional experience with this business.

    Your Elite Celebration's reply:

    Thank you so much Kailey, omg you're embarrassing me with such a great review. I particularly noticed you smiling and dancing and I knew I was doing something right. Congrats!

    Excellent Recommendation!

    We recently used Rick Howell, Your Elite Celebration for an 8th grade Halloween Dance. The students never left the dance floor, and our DJ was excellent. I would recommend them highly!

    Your Elite Celebration's reply:

    Awesome Sharon, thank you! I look forward to it every year! What an amazing group of kids. They are all so respectful and well behaved.

    Rick and Mike were exceptional!! Our DJ fell through 6 days prior to the event, I reached out to Rick and he was extremely responsive and accommodating to meet our needs and be available for our event. Mike was the DJ for our Corporate event and he had people on the dance floor all night long - could not have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be reaching out to them for future events.

    Your Elite Celebration's reply:

    Erin thank you so much! I'm so happy we were able to get in there and be a part of your event. We look forward to working with you in the future.

    Rick was so easy to work with, helpful, and very professional! He did a great job keeping the music going and really understood the right kind of music guests would enjoy and dance to! He was also very helpful in helping me pick ceremony music (which I really had no clue on what to use). Sound system and lights were high quality. He did a great job to help the day go smoothly. We had so much fun!! Thank you so much Rick!!!

    Your Elite Celebration's reply:

    Thank you Sarah, for sure you had a group that knew how to have fun. It was an awesome wedding!
