My now-wife and I booked Elite Wedding Co. to handle our wedding; to provide DJ, photobooth and photography services. As experiences go, working with Elite was absolutely fantastic, and they completely lived up to their stated goal of making a stressful day seem like nothing at all. We ran into some speed bumps along the way, entirely of our own making. Telling some of our guests one start time but telling others a different one somehow, could have thrown a wrench into the day, but DJ Jon and Dimitri and the Elite team were able to roll with us without issue. Dimitri handled photography duties professionally and with courtesy. He worked through his shot list efficiently and under the time afforded. We have yet to see proofs or photos, but as we deferred to his expertise and experience shooting at our venue, we are expecting to see good things! The photobooth team was particularly popular at our wedding, and I was surprised to see an album prepared for us at the end of the night! It's a great touch that, especially since we don't have photos yet, are a wonderful reminder of our experience. Of the available DJs for the evening, we selected DJ Kool-Aid because we thought he had a fun name, but upon meeting, he introduced himself as DJ Jon and I think it'd be doing a disservice to use the Kool-Aid name as something so impersonal. Jon went above and beyond and out of his way to make sure that my bride and I had everything we needed, when we needed it. The venue staff did their thing admirably, and they had an on-site coordinator for most of the evening's events; but it was really Jon who moved the night along and ensured that the festivities happened as they should, when they should. It was Jon who was checking in with us throughout the night, often just to see if we needed anything, even just a refreshed drink. It was Jon who kept the party to the (updated!) timeline, making sure everything got to happen as planned, without making anything feel rushed or short-shrifted. And it was Jon (along with my wife's several aunts) who kept it live on the dance floor all night long, even when some folks had begun filtering out and heading for home. And his musical picks were absolutely on point all night, our initial meeting and suggestions/requests we sent over made sure he had our number. (Those same aunts also wanted us to make sure we passed on the word they felt he was The Best DJ they'd had the pleasure of dancing to. One quote: "He's killing us out there! He's playing all the best songs and we can't not dance to them!") I would say, we DID request very specifically that 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke not get played; and it did - we assume somebody requested it - but that is such a nitpicky little point on what was a wonderful evening, facilitated in large part by Jon and the Elite team. In all, it is clear that the Elite team are pros at what they do, this is illustrated most for me by my wife's and my first dance. Jon made a point of learning our song and picking the most artful time to fire off the Sparkulars; it wowed the crowd and even took us a little by surprise. It was one of the sublime moments of my life. Thanks, Jon. Had we contracted no other service than DJing, having Jon on our side would have made working with Elite absolutely worth every cent. Elite was super easy to work with, a great value for the money spent, and they made the day go as smoothly as was within their power to do and probably then some. We'd recommend the company to anyone who'll listen.
