Thanks to the evolution of the internet and our video testimonials, I had the pleasure of handling the reception of our newlyweds Mark & Lauren Kretzer. As entertainers we have been accustomed to meeting with our clients ahead of time to learn what kind of entertainment and music they will want for their wedding. What makes this stituation very unique? I never met with Lauren and Mark until there wedding day! A few momnths ago, Lauren sent an inquiry for our services on the ESE website. After a 45 minute phone call Lauren felt very confident that I would be the right DJ for her reception after reading all of our rave reviews on WeddingWire & TheKnot

Needless to say, the wedding rocked! I checked in with both Lauren and Mark a few times throughout the event to make sure everything was ok and there response was “You are just phenomenal!”. That to me is one of the most rewarding feelings an entertainer can ask for!

These are just one of the many reasons we do what we love and love what we do :-)

A new CD for all my past, current, and future bride & grooms!! I have created a live mix showcasing almost every genre of music (starting from the 50s and leading into today’s current hits).

Please keep in mind that every wedding is completely different so I always customize my song selection based on the bride & groom’s input along with the crowd’s response to various songs and genres. Also, you will notice that I mix out of the songs much quicker then I would at an actual wedding; my goal was to fit as many songs in the mix as possible to fit onto one CD. Please use the download link below. Hope you enjoy it!

From when Jess & Lou came into my office, they knew it was going to be a really fun wedding. They knew their crowd, they knew they were dancers, and they knew RIGHT! It was important to them for me to play a good mix of newer and older music all night long for all of their guests. For the beginning of the night, we started out with a nice slow song. We call it the “good luck dance.” A slow song dedicated for all of the couples to join Jess & Lou on the dance floor. Right from there we hit ‘em with the 50′s, and made our way into 60′s, 70′s, and up to today’s newest songs. Their crowd went CRAZY to old school hip-hop, so I knew we had to save that for the last hour of the night, when they were going to be going crazy!

Saturday, March 26, I had the pleasure of DJ’in Elizabeth & Michael’s wedding. Elizabeth is Latin, and she wanted a lot of Latin music. Although I know tons of Latin music, it was best that I brought my Latin DJ along with me – DJ Kenny Fiesta. He worked as bi-lingual MC as well as spin the Latin music that was needed for the evening. Right from the intro’s, I knew we were in for a 4 hour, non-stop party! Earlier in the night, I mixed a variety of 80′s, 90′s, top 40 and dance. Kenny went on later with his perfect mix of merengue, salsa and bachata. Austin worked out premium lighting and up lighting that changed from fuscia to dark blue during the evening. Although all of our video camera’s were being used at our other weddings that night, we were able to get some footage with our IPhone. Check out this party for yourself!

Friday, March 11, 2011, Lorraine & Orson’s #1 concern was the music for their wedding.  They required a mix of Top 40, House, Bachata, Salsa, Merengue and Punta music from Honduras.  We were equipped with the “Latin Sensation” Kenny Fiesta along with Mikey B for the American Top 40 Music.  To add some spice to the mix, they added our live percussionist John to add an element of Live Music.  The wedding was at the Westmount Country Club (I’ve been there 5 times in the last 4 weeks) and the crowd’s energy picked up right where Amro and Marie’s wedding from last week left off.  Check out the video of Kenny FIesta in the middle of a Latin Set.

Some Brides have done their homework, and seen the HORRIBLE youtube videos (we love them too.) And it got a couple question sparking…. Here’s some answers to the things that have been on the back-burner of questions.

Do you provide a written contract?
Absolutely. It’s very important to have your date and event confirmed in writing.

How much do you charge?
This depends on you and what type of services you are looking for. Elite Sound Entertainment provides an abundance of services; therefore it’s impossible to give prices without knowing what you are looking for. We do promise to work within your budget. To give you an idea, our prices start at $1295.

What time do you arrive?
We arrive usually 1&½ hours before the event. This allows us to setup our equipment, provide sound checks and interact with the catering hall personnel to coordinate the evening. For larger packages with plasmas, photo booth,  large lights, uplights, etc… we may come earlier to ensure having enough time to set-up.

We’re going to have a very diverse crowd that is going to want to hear so many different styles of music, how will you keep everyone happy?
One word: VARIETY. We have an extensive musical library ranging from 1940’s to today’s current tracks. We custom create the musical format of your event during our consultations with you. We know what to play, and when to play it to assure music genres for all age groups that attend your event.

How much experience do your DJ’s have??
Our staff has been entertaining wedding receptions, celebration parties, bar/bat mitzvahs and corporate events for 10 years. Our entertainers have the experience and professionalism of a veteran; along with the personality, enthusiasm and knowledge of what’s happening today.

What happens if your equipment fails?
Our equipment is state of art and is updated and serviced once a year, therefore equipment failure has never been an issue for Elite Sound Entertainment. However, professional entertainers must prepare for the worst case scenario. We have backup equipment that can be up and running in less than 2 minutes. Most competitors have backup equipment in the parking lot in their truck that can take up to a half hour to set up.
