    Awesome DJ for Weddings !

    Can't say enough about Josh and the experience we had with him as our DJ. He was incredibly responsive, set up meetings and made himself available when we needed to touch base, kept us posted on all deadlines, walked us through how to use his portal (which was very easy to use), put his own creative touch on the songs we selected (transitions, etc.), filled in music that fit the theme we were going for wherever we had holes, and to be honest I didn't even notice he was there until he came to confirm pronunciations of all of our wedding party. He is a consummate professional, and would recommend him 1000% for any event. He was a major part of our wedding being the day we had dreamed about and more.

    Experienced DJ tailored to you

    We hired Josh through Elegant event entertainment's 6h Silver lake package for a wedding. We appreciated the online portal, which simplified payments and communication with detailed forms.

    Josh was a pleasure to work with. He respected our playlists, managed the transitions, and supplemented his own song choices to fit the music genres. He gracefully managed the crowd and helped us with announcements throughout the entire night. Working with Josh easy, which is exactly what we were looking for in a DJ!

    One reason we chose Josh is because we wanted a DJ that would respect our pronouns and use gender-inclusive language. We explicitly asked to be referred to as "the couple" or "the newlyweds" rather than "Mr. and Mrs.", and Josh was great about it. Thanks Josh for helping us throw an awesome wedding.

    Memorable. Flawless. Professional. Experienced. Advanced.

    My husband and I got married to one another on August 27, 2023 at Eden Gardens.
    My goodness, a huge factor in how smooth and wonderful our whole wedding day went goes with a huge shoutout to our DJ/MC Josh Smeaton!!!!! I can only speak words of greatness and appreciation for Josh, truly. Thank you Josh!! The website and profile that's provided upon booking made the whole process so much more visually easier to plan the music choices for the days timeline. It's very organized, user friendly, and we found it very advanced as you can link in your own Spotify account and playlist to make song choice input an easier task. The website and it's layout gave us a place to visually see that our specific song choices would be the correct song version with the appropriate start/stop cue's. Communication was always a breeze with Josh. We felt guided and also heard by Josh.

    Our wedding day went flawlessly with him as our DJ/MC and we truly appreciate his warm, attentive and enthusiastic energy. Josh took care of our pre-ceremony music which was a great help off our shoulders. We had requested specific songs and even some songs with a different version and he PERFECTLY played the correct songs all flawlessly down to even requested specific start/stop times. THANK YOU JOSH!! Our specific songs included a choice for our processional, my bride processional, our recessional, reception grand entrance of our wedding party and then ourselves as the bride and groom, our first dance, a run around for a photo with every reception table for a duration of one song only, cake cutting, bouquet toss, garter removal, last group dance, and a last dance alone to embrace the ending of our grand day.
    IT WAS PERFECT, and we are so grateful we chose Elegant Event Entertainment and were paired with Josh as our DJ/MC. Our wedding guest looked and shared with us how much they loved dancing at our wedding. The reception dance energy was definitely everything we desired...energetic, upbeat, fun, silly, flowy, versatile of genres, and all around good vibes. We saw family and friends dancing out on the floor that night like never before, so full of life and happy and it was such a pleasure to see :)

    In addition, I can't say that he can or will be able to do this for others but our DJ was the sweetest and even went the extra mile and took personal photos and videos of the day and loaded them on a google link so that we could have a preview of our special day to hold us over till our professionals would be sent over. WOW. Truly thoughtful Josh *hand claps*. We enjoyed reviewing them whole heartedly. Another fun aspect that we loved was that we were also sent a link that had a collection of all the photos our guest took when they used the photo booth we selected as part of our package with this company. Oh my goodness we had so many great laughs previewing those. I loved that we were able to customize the words and background/backdrop to the photo booth photo layout for our special day. Such a great aspect and treat to adding on the photo booth with this vendor.

    A million times, THANK YOU for such a memorable day! We will be more than happy to always offer our recommendations of Elegant Event Entertainment/DJ Josh. Be well

    Best DJ Ever

    Josh is hands down the world's greatest DJ. It was hit after hit—I have truly never had so much fun on a dance floor--it was MAJOR.

    From start to finish, everything about working with Elegant Entertainment was easy. Most importantly, we felt included in the process. There were a lot of songs that I wanted to hear on the dance floor, which I was able to easily request in advance through their portal, and Josh was fantastic about playing those requests and keeping the dance floor packed with songs that fit the vibe. He was warm, easy to work with, the communication was great....he was just the best. I want to throw another party just to hire him again!

    Amazing!! Wonderful experience.

    Josh was our DJ and he did an awesome job! Super responsive, professional, and easy to work with. He was expecting his wife to go into labor a couple days after our wedding and we appreciated him letting us know, getting a back up in place, and still being fully present for us (thankfully everything worked out). Highly recommend. And congrats to Josh on his growing family!

    5.13.23 wedding

    We had people on the dance floor all night. Our venue messed up and thanks to DJ Josh and Chris the guests had NO idea. They helped with microphones and everyone could actually hear us perfectly. I would hire again in a heartbeat. I've been to 25 weddings where the DJ service was lackluster to say the least. NO LACKLUSTER HERE!!! :)

    A Great Day with A great DJ!

    We hired Josh Smeaton from Elegant Event Entertainment and we are SO happy we did! We had an absolutely terrific wedding day with him as our DJ. Their site to build your music library was so helpful and the guides and forms were easy to fill out. Josh played all of our favorite music we requested and he was very attentive and thoughtful. We had a BLAST at our wedding!

    Highly Reccomend EEE

    Highly recommend Elegant Event Entertainment for DJ services. The website the company provides is easy to organize all the important songs we wanted for the wedding. Josh made it work with songs we wanted at certain intervals and brought the house down with surprises we had put in place like a flower brother song and mother bride dance song. Many of my guests raved about the music which can be a hit or miss when not followed correctly. We are so thankful he listened to our requests and made the night amazing with our eclectic playlist. Thank you so much for the amazing MC skills and music that uplifted the entire day!

    Elegant event entertainment review

    Josh Smeaton was the Dj we worked with for our wedding. While for some, many aspects of their wedding are important. For us, it was the music. When I met with Josh I explained the type of music we like which is not your traditional wedding music. Josh was so professional and personable which was key. Our party consisted of people who simply love to dance and did Josh deliver. The portal EEE uses is easy and intuitive. We were able to pick songs we wanted for the cocktail hour and reception. Josh had everyone on the dance floor having the best time! Hands down the best DJ and would recommend to anyone!

    Best DJ ever!!

    For my wedding, the DJ and music were one of the most important things to me. I’m so glad I picked EEE and DJ Josh! He was so friendly and great to work with. He even followed us to a new date and venue when we had to change! They keep you updated on the whole process and make it all super easy! The music was FIRE and I absolutely loved every second! I never wanted to leave the dance floor and everyone had fun! Even with the shoe game we played Josh kept it appropriate but was also super fun! And he was a fun DJ the whole night! And would always check in with us if we needed anything or had any requests. I was very impressed and happy! Hire Josh and EEE Entertainment!

    Josh was the best wedding DJ!

    Josh did such an amazing job at our wedding. He truly made our night everything and more! Our guests are still complimenting us on how much fun they had at the wedding and how great DJ Josh was. His music cues were on point and he was able to gauge the crowd and get the party started for the reception and dancing portion of our wedding. He also did a great job sending us routine correspondence and timelines leading up to the wedding. From weddings we have attended, the DJ really makes or breaks the night and hiring a professional DJ is so important for and makes all the difference. We highly recommend Josh for your wedding night. He will not disappoint!

    Top Notch DJ

    Planning our wedding was a ton of work, as I think anyone can relate to, but when it came to lining up our DJ, the process was as straightforward as it could have been. DJ Josh was transparent and communicative throughout, and patiently talked us through all the little things we needed to decide on. When our big day finally arrived, Josh was awesome. The music was just right, his announcements were clear, and when we asked for a microphone to talk to our guests, which we hadn't planned beforehand, he improvised right with us without missing a beat. My wife and I both highly recommend Elegant Entertainment and DJ Josh.

    DJ Josh is great!

    Wedding planning is beyond overwhelming, so when we reached out to EEE and set up our meeting with Josh, he made us feel right at ease. He guided us as best he could even before we booked his services. He helped us understand the whole process with such simplicity that we knew we had to work with him! During the wedding planning process he was just so great and helpful and kept reminding us that he is there to help with whatever he could. Wedding day arrives and it was all amazing. The music was GREAT and all are guest raved and danced the night away. I would 100/100 recommend DJ Josh!

    Josh was incredable

    Josh and EE where amazing, the photo booth was great fun for all, Josh was extremely professional and made the dance floor pop all night long. He had a skill to play the right songs at the right time.

    If i could do the whole thing again I would not change a thing.

    The detailed list of songs to play definitely helped Josh set up his mix.

    DJ Josh was amazing and made our wedding day unforgettable

    We hired Elegant Event Entertainment for our wedding and were matched with DJ Josh. We could not have imagined a better DJ and experience for our special day. Josh is all about catering to the musical tastes of the bride and groom, while also taking the reigns for finding similar sounding music. EEE has an online portal where you can designate the songs you want for each section of the day so it makes planning a breeze. Josh also had the added task of trading off the musical baton between a live band that we hired and his tunes, and he pulled it off smoother than the icing on our wedding cake. Not only that, but Josh did a superb job of MC'ing the event and helping guide the evening for our guests. I've been to so many weddings where the DJ does not react to the crowd vibe and does their own thing and it can be a real party downer. Josh kept up with the crowd's vibe and kept the party going all day and all night.

    Some other aspects worth mentioning:
    -Elegant Event Entertainment was stellar in handling our wedding delays due to the pandemic; we had to delay our wedding a full year and they could not have been more accommodating.

    -Josh set up really awesome dance floor lighting, as well as some colorful uplighting that matched our wedding colors that highlighted the Venue's beautiful trees in their Walnut Grove.

    -Josh shot some photos and video during the event and sent them to us right after our wedding which was so awesome, especially since it takes wedding photographers a very long time to process and finalize all the pro shots. These were lovely to look back on our day and appreciate. The video he snagged of our Hora dance is priceless since everyone was able to participate and therefore no one else was able to capture it (we didn't hire a videographer).

    And Josh, if you are reading thing, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You made our day so special and we are so thankful for your amazing skills and kindness throughout the planning and the day of. You really made our day so positively memorable.

    Much appreciation
    Mike and Vicki

    Elegant Event Entertainment provided the DJ services for our daughter's wedding, and Jason Jones was fantastic! He truly kept the party going all night, and the dance floor was always full!

    Awesome DJ!

    We used Elegant Entertainment for our wedding last November.

    It was a great choice! Josh was our DJ and he was incredible! We had to work against a tight time line and he took it in stride!

    He told us that it was his main priority that we just enjoy our day and we did just that.

    He was able to play the songs we wanted and improvised with songs that fit our needs perfectly.

    Thank you Josh and crew! Don’t hesitate to hire them!

    Josh is amazing

    We just got married and Josh was our DJ. I cannot put into words how much we appreciated and loved him. Every single person that was at our wedding has complimented him.
    We had a few last minute adjustments and he was SO flexible. No matter what happened, he was prepared and was able to corral everyone.
    He had our guests cracking up the whole time but was completely sincere and serious when he needed to be.
    I’m the worst planner and he took the reigns when needed. I told him what songs we wanted for certain dances/events and he knew exactly how to transition them to make everything seamless. If you’re looking for a DJ book EEEDJ’s and request Josh!

    Excellent DJ Chris

    Our wedding was on 8/17/19 and our DJ was Chris. He was outstanding from prior to the wedding helping me set up to the wedding day. We could not have been happier or have picked better! The dance floor was never empty! The song list and announcements were well planned and could tell Chris had experience at what he did. Thanks Much Chris!! We all had a wonderful time dancing!

    We had DJ Josh at our wedding and I couldn't stop dancing! As soon as I talked to Chris, I knew Elegant was the right DJ for us. There planning system is really easy and it was fun to be able to pick all the songs we wanted to hear, as well as make special requests. We had a Skype meeting with Josh a few weeks before the wedding to get to know each other and to talk about the vibe we were going for. He was really accommodating when it come to some special request we had — I wanted to do a special Irish dance and he waited until me and my dad were ready before playing it. He also put together a super fun Beyonce mix to play instead of a bouquet toss! Josh was really fun and kept the party going until the very last song. I danced SO MUCH! Great guy, great company, and a super great value!

    Our wedding was an absolute blast and it was all because of our fantastic DJ. Chris was always two steps ahead of us and knew exactly what we wanted. From our incessant set-up requests, to multiple life performances, to the exact playlist we wanted, he knew what he was doing the entire time. They made our wedding incredible and people danced the ENTIRE night!!!

    Elegant events is seriously amazing! We were so happy that we selected Elegant Event to be our wedding DJ. They returned all our calls and answered all our questions in both a timely and professional manner. We had met with 2 other companies prior to Elegant that weren't a good fit. Daryl was seriously amazing. A DJ can really make or break an event. Darryl played most of the songs that we had picked, all at the appropriate times. He had the exact right level of involvement as an MC. We got so many compliments on his service. I cannot say enough about how great of a job he did.
