DJ Elwood

ossible issues, all of which paid off because the wedding could not have been more smooth or more fun. Total win; highly recommend!

y responsive to all my emails, and we are so glad we picked him! I highly recommend him for your wedding!!

nts on time (first dance, parent dances, cake cutting, speeches, etc.) That was a HUGE help having him there to guide us along! It is obvious that he has a lot of experience in the industry, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a wedding DJ!

for my own wedding I am SO glad that Sean was available!

s own personal taste in music to fill in between times was precisely what we wanted and seemingly flawless. He was punctual and respectful; we received many compliments from guests on the music and professionalism of the DJ. Plus Sean is just incredibly nice and is an all around great guy from what I can see! A pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend.

ages, enjoyed. He also did our ceremony music, and it was perfect. It was everything I had wanted, and made things truly special for me.

Great select of music with a wide variety of genre and style. He knows how to set the mood and quickly had a crowd on the dance floor-everyone had a good time!

and a lot of it was thanks to Sean. I don't recall a part of the night when the dace floor wasn't full of people dancing their butts off. He knows how to please a crowd and makes sure everyone has fun. Not only is he a talented DJ, he was super easy to work with and catered to all my requests. If you want a bumping dance floor for your wedding, then definitely get DJ Elwood for your big day!

e dancing and having a great time! I highly recommend DJ Elwood. You will not regret it!

accommodating and wanting to know what it was that we wanted and needed from him. He sent us a starter playlist based upon the feedback we gave him and added items we requested. The night of our event he nailed the delicate balance of helping to orchestrate events (even a couple surprises) and keeping the party going. The only downside we had in hiring Sean was that the party had to end at some point and when it did the entire dance floor was still packed. Check this item off your list and get him reserved for you event.

sure he got everyone's name right. During the reception he helped to keep us on track and offered suggestions to help the night go smoothly. After the dance floor opened his music choices kept people out there until the very end. My husband and I were pretty hands off with the music and just asked DJ Elwood to handle the selections and I'm so glad we did because he definitely knows what he is doing. Hiring DJ Elwood was one of the best decisions we made. Thanks, Sean! You helped make our day great!

they we had to kick everyone out. People commented to us that they'd never seen a dance floor fill up so fast and basically stay full all night long. We had a pretty diverse group of guests so that says a lot. We really wanted someone that could get a feel for our music tastes and trust to make it work and Sean couldn't have done a better job. He was very easy to work with, and very professional. Well worth the money and wouldn't hesitate to have him DJ another event.

multi-course meal and some dancing in between and he kept it all moving very nicely!

h in our first meeting getting to know as much as he could about our musical taste as well as getting a feel for what our guests might like. He took very detailed notes, especially considering we had not even decided to book him at this point. We didn't feel a need to interview anyone else and decided to book him a few days later. From there, he offered us a very large general playlist, which we were able to go through and select what songs we loved, hated, didn't care about, etc. We were also able to add additional music or write additional notes for him. I was not sure what to expect from him on the day of, but he was fantastic. Almost ninja like in a way with his professional approach and calm demeanor, yet he was exactly where he needed to be when he needed to be there and made sure to find us at exactly the right moments to get confirmation from us regarding toasts, first dance songs, etc. He also made sure during the reception that we did not change our minds about anything in the last moment. For example, we cut out a mother/son dance and a bouquet toss and even though he knew this, he was still nice enough to check with us and make sure we didn't decide we wanted those things after all in the final moments. I have to reintegrate his professionalism. We did not want an in your face super loud, get the party pumpin' DJ. He was energetic when he needed to be and when it counted, but when it came to how he treated guests and how he approached us for questions, he was extremely professional and really easy-going. It was a great relief to have someone with his demeanor helping us on that night. Also, most importantly, people loved his music selections. I will be honest, when it came down to it, the whole day was a blur and I don't remember more than 5 songs that were played, because we were so distracted with everything else, but we had guest after guest compliment us on the music, which was more confirmation for us that we made a great decision in choosing Sean. Our guests consisted mainly of an older crown, so we mixed in a lot of our style which is pretty Alternative with some classic Oldies and then a mix of some Pop, Country, Jazz and Blues to have something for everyone and people thought it was absolutely great. I think the only 4 people who were less than impressed were my brother-in-law's step kids and boyfriend, ages 16-21 who were probably hoping for a steady list straight from a teen beats meets pop country CD (no offense to them). I also don't think they're very schooled on music in general, because the Oldies we were playing were badass, so too bad for them for having typical teen attitudes, but you can't win em' all I guess. I encourage you to give Sean a chance. At the very least, give him an interview. He is clearly passionate about music and gets to know his audience really well.

t the music was. Thanks again, Sean!

ing smile: he was positive he found the right person to DJ our very unique wedding. I knew from our first Skype chat (we live out of town) that Sean was perfect. We actually have a lot in common with him, and we met up with him when he DJ'd a set in Chicago about a month out from our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, I was so grateful that he was unfazed by our scatterbrains. (Sorry about that, Sean!) And, the music was perfect the day of the wedding. He made our blend of cultures/music styles come together into a cohesive mix that made sense. If you have the chance to book DJ Elwood, don't hesitate! He was fantastic and a pleasure to work with!

reception stayed on track and once the scheduled events were done he kept the party going. I do not remember a time where the dance floor was empty. People of all ages were out dancing. He did such a great job reading the crowd and playing the right music to keep everyone dancing! We only met with him twice in person and from those short meetings he was able to gather info on the type of music we like and how we wanted the reception to go. I sincerely would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. He was professional, experienced, and fun. I do not have a single complaint or any negative feedback to give. I couldn't have imagined our reception going any better and it was because of DJ Elwood's skills!

point!! He kept everyone dancing and the party going. We continue to get compliments on our DJ and the music selection. Out of all our wedding vendors, Sean was by far our favorite to work with.

fe and I booked him well in advance. In between that year and change Sean would check in with us every few months to make sure we are working on a playlist and all that fun stuff. Sean was able to see our playlist via Spotify so we could share all the songs we had in mind for him to browse through and get an idea of genres we favored. When the big day came he was punctual, well dressed, and very professional whilst keeping the fun atmosphere going. Anything you need from him on your big day he will certainly do his best. For instance, if your mother/son song (picked by your mom) was a five minute song.....he would make it a tad shorter to keep things flowing :)!! We let him do his thing all night and loved every song that he played. It's the small details that go far with us and he nailed it!! He kept the floor moving all night until the quick and unfortunate ending of the reception. This wedding wouldn't have been as fun without the man!! Do yourself a favor and book this guy if he is available.

ared to stop. Above all else, his demeanor, professionalism, and ability to spin turned our reception into an unforgettable evening! I would recommend him to anyone that I know without question! Thanks Sean!

the crowd and knew how to keep the party going. We had over 300 guests at our reception, and I think everyone there was on the dance floor, and still today are raving about our reception. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Sean was great to work with, nice, and laid back. I'm so glad we found him and used him for our wedding reception. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any event you are looking to have and want the dance party to ROCK.

specifics: - We wanted the post-dinner reception to be lively, fun, and lots of dancing. Sean kept the dance floor going until it was time to shut down the venue. It was so much fun we wished we could have had a few more hours of only dancing. Based on the song list he asked us to review (& provide feedback on in terms of do not play, must play, etc.) I'm confident he could do this for any couple's music preferences. - We'd gone to weddings where you couldn't hear 90% of the ceremony and were concerned about acoustics. Sean made sure everything was set up properly for the somewhat challenging space and everyone could hear the ceremony, even at the back. This was even after a venue change the day of the wedding. - Sean did a great job cuing & managing the typical reception events of announcing the couple, dances, etc. He worked with our coordinator to make sure everything flowed seamlessly. - Two weeks or so before the wedding, we had a call to walk through the timeline of the day, including our specific song selections for each part of the ceremony, reception, dances, etc. I'm sure that at our first meeting he told us this would happen, but I had forgotten, and it was a huge relief to go through and know the music was set and someone else was handling it minute by minute. - Sean did a great job of interpreting our tastes and providing appropriate background music for the time before the ceremony as guests are arriving, the cocktail hour, dinner, etc. I'm very appreciative of this because he had asked for feedback on music for these times and it was one of those things that fell through the cracks on planning. We asked to him to play what he thought was best based on our other song selections, and we are happy we simply left it to him. - His demeanor and attitude made him incredibly easy to work with and had a calming effect in a stressful time. He was always quickly accessible by email for comments or suggestions (our preferred method given busy work schedules). - We learned a few days before the wedding that the best man would not be able to make it to the wedding due to illness. Sean executed everything necessary for the recorded speech to be played seamlessly at the reception between the maid of honor & father of the bride's speeches. - Lastly, because weddings can be so expensive, I feel the need to note that in terms of cost, DJ Elwood's wedding pricing is a hell of a deal for the quality of service provided. I hope it is obvious by now that we highly, highly recommend DJ Elwood for a wedding. A friend who attended our wedding has already booked him for hers based on her experience at our wedding & our personal review of working with him. Thanks, Sean!

ceremony and reception and again were truly impressed by his professional approach to working with us. DJ Elwood arrived early and helped our officiant get mic'd up, provided a microphone for our reader, as well as set up for the reception. He was very receptive to our list of suggested music but made some great selections we hadn't thought of based on the list we provided. He was flexible throughout the evening as our timing for certain activities changed and was a very calming presence throughout the reception. Our reception was more formal and his style (emcee approach, music selections) matched exactly what we were going for. Overall we have absolutely no reservations about recommending DJ Elwood and we'd absolutely use him again for other events.
