Perfect Wedding, thanks to Elite Entertainment!

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 night!

We had Mike as our DJ and MC for our wedding at The Palace at Somerset Park this July. All I can say is wow! Mike was not only the most amazing MC but such an incredible DJ. Throughout the entire planning process he took so much time meeting with us and truly curated our perfect music selection. Mike was easily the highlight of our wedding. As the MC he kept the night flowing and worked so well with our Maitre D' and as the DJ... he blew our expectations away. Our dance floor was absolutely packed the entire night from start to finish. He kept the vibes high the entire time and mixed in our requests from the 50's to recent hits. We have heard only amazing things from all of our guests and how impressed they were with Mike and Elite Entertainment, I can not recommend him enough.

Barry B was the BEST!

We decided on Elite Entertainment pretty quickly after doing some research and reading reviews. The level of service you receive for the $$ is truly unbeatable. From the first inquiry right down to the wedding day, communication was easy & efficient. We had Barry as our DJ and I cannot recommend him enough. We had 2 meetings with him ahead of our wedding day and he was thorough with making sure he knew what we did and did not want. He played all of the songs we asked for and did a really great job of reading the crowd to play songs that kept everyone on the dance floor. At the end of the night, the venue staff were talking to my husband and I about how fun it was to watch all of our guests dance the. entire. night. It was such a blast and everything we could have wanted. Book Elite & ask for Barry!
