Introduction: People, like you have been choosing The Elite DJ Service to make the magic happen since 2000. For Us, our Events are all about 3 things: Packed dance floors, Wall to wall smiles & Making Memories. How do we do it? Personalization and Customization of every detail possible. We want to ensure your unique visions are brought to life. We understand how important your celebration is and want to keep your entertainment experience stress free. From Intimate weddings to night life inspired parties we keep you in the spotlight without using cheesy outdated DJ techniques. The thing I like most about my job is simple. When I am at a wedding and play an older slow song the coolest thing happens. You get to see an older (like OLDER) couple come out to the dance floor and slow dance. They dont walk well but they make their way you to the floor and hold each other tight like they are just young kids again. I know in that moment that it may have been years since they were able to slow dance like that. And I have seen couples that I almost knew that this would be the last chance they had to experience a slow dance together. To be able to do that is amazing! To be able to give that experience to a couple by far exceeds anything else I like about my job.

We hired Jeremy from Elite DJ Service to provide DJ and karaoke services for our wedding reception. We set up music preferences and the reception agenda with Dave (the owner) a few days before the event, and first met Jeremy at the reception hall. From the start, Jeremy was remarkably unprofessionalchanging his shirt in front of us, long absences during the reception, forgetting the cake cutting, etc. He didnt seem to know our names or anything about the toasts. He needed assistance getting the video started. During dancing & karaoke, thing got worse. He refused to play the grooms requests and had serious problems operating the karaoke equipment. He did not bring a karaoke list, and did not seem to notice (much less respond to) the crowd. In short, Jeremy seemed confused and disinterested most of the evening. I would NOT recommend Elite DJ Service use an iPod and rent PA system instead.

My husband and I could not have been happier with Dave Isaacs We hired Dave for our October 6th wedding. Dave was awesome to work with. He was professional, reliable, and a good sport about everything. He answered every email in a timely fashion, gave us lots of suggestions, and completely understood the style we were looking for. My husband is a big music lover and wanted our wedding to be upbeat and danceable...and Dave made it happen! From the start to the end of our reception, Dave knew how to read the crowd. It was perfect. The mixing was awesome! We received only positive comments from our guests about Dave...one of our guests even thought he was reading her mind (lol), with some of the music choices! Thank you Dave for making our wedding such a hit!! If I have another party, you'll be the first person I call!

I used Dave Isaacs for my wedding and he was OUTSTANDING! Dave helped me plan the timeline for the reception of the wedding and designed the lighting that made the venue look stunning. Dave was a pleasure to work with. I received compliment after compliment from my guests who raved about his ability to get the crowd in the mood to dance and have a good time at the party. He picked the right music to make everyone happy. The company website allows you to plan which songs you absolutely want played at your event or ones that you do not want played. Every suggestion Dave made was spot on and every choice he made as a professional on the night of my event was complete perfection.

We had a disappointing experience w Dave. He was quite friendly until we sent the oayment in full As the wedding date got closer he would not respond to messages. He was extremely rude w the groom who was a musician trying to find out what kind of equipment he needed to bring because he was singing at the reception Very very unprofessional. Did not make any of the announcements that I had requested. Was not going to allow me to make a toast because I didn't do it at the same time as the wedding party. Appeared to have control and anger issues. Was sitting at a table eating dinner which was fine except the late guests did not have a seat because he was in theirs and he took a long time to move. Was often gone from his DJ Table nowhere to be found. Came across very arrogant and rude. We had no problems w any other vendors and thought at first he was having a bad day, except every encounter after paying in full was very short and rude. He did not send us the papers to fill out for the order if the evening until the night before the wedding and we had requested it for weeks! Maybe he just needs a vacation! I would not recommend him so sorry to say!

Elite DJ Service's reply

I am sorry that your experience was not all it could have been. Let me address a few things. 1st. I had a great conversation with the groom. He is knowledge able about sound as he is a musician. I could have supplied everything he needed. However, you took it upon yourselves to rent sub par equipment from another company for him to use. Instead of state of the art equipment you rented a sound system from 1983. 2nd. I had no problem with you making a toast. We had a set toast schedule. You were not on the list and wanted to make one. My only question I asked of you was, why you didn't tell me sooner. I would have preferred that you had been able to do them with everyone else. Not for my sake, but yours. You would have had everyone's attention. This would have made it a better experience for you, your daughter and her new groom. 3rd. The photographer and I did sit to eat. We were invited by the lone guest at that table to join him as you did not make preparations for us and left us standing in a corner during dinner. Though supplying dinner is not in my contract, I have not (until I met you) been screamed at for eating dinner. Yes, guest did arrive to eat, 2 and a half hours late. I and the photographer immediately got up in the middle of dinner (in shock of your behavior) so those guest could sit. 4th. You would constantly have people call me saying you could not reach me. My phone worked for them but you seemed to have a problem calling me directly. You refused to have a final meeting with me to discuss the timeline of the day. You basically wanted no part of my knowledge to help make this day great. I sent you the papers you needed immediately when you booked. I sent them to you on the following days: 4/16/14, 8/4/14 & again on 10/7/14. So please do not lie and say I did not send it to you until 10/10/14. 5th. Yes, I needed a vacation after your daughters wedding. In 15 years, I have never been treated as rudely by anyone as I was by you. I have great relationships with my Bride & Grooms. I work hard to make their day great. I got nothing from you but disrespect and rudeness. I still remember you God filled wedding toast you gave after screaming at me. It was beyond hypocritical. I truly love what I do and it was disappointing that you did everything in your power to control your daughter's wedding and keep me from making it great. You emotionally tore me down. If I had known how you would treat me, I would have never even booked your daughter's wedding. I booked your wedding in April of 2014 via a phone call from you. You are the single reason why I will never book another event without first meeting the client. I will never put myself in the situation to be treated so badly again.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I would not say I have a "complicated" pricing system. I do however offer different packages with different sized systems. I do this to be able to offer you the best experience at your event. I also want you to have a choice in what your music sounds like and what your dance floor looks like.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Look for someone with Experience, Experience and More Experience. All DJ's got their start somewhere. It was usually along side someone who had experience. Make sure the professional DJ you are hiring is not someone who just went out and bought some DJ equipment and a computer and now calls themself a DJ. The art of being a Wedding DJ is passed down from one DJ to another. All of us that have been around for 10 years or more could probably tell you who took us under their wing and taught us the craft. Those of us who have been doing it this long also know its a craft, we love to create a great wedding reception. So make sure you are not booking some fly by night "dj".
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I wish customers understood that we put in way more time than just the hours we are at your event. We spend a lot of time preparing for your event. Usually weeks before we arrive at your event. I also wish people understood that when it comes to booking a DJ you trully get what you pay for. It always amazes me when someone calls around to get prices and goes with the cheapest guy they could find. There is a reason he is DJing for half or less of the price of every other DJ in town. It is because that is the only way that he can get business. So please do NOT shop DJ's on price alone. Take time to find the guy who is going to work hard to make sure your event is perfect (like me!). Then you will be able to see and understand what you are paying for.
