We are so glad we hired Matt for our wedding! He was the perfect mix of professional and personable, and he made our entire reception completely stress-free.
Weeks before the wedding, Matt proactively reached out to map out our timeline, and he nailed every single announcement, speech introduction, and special dance perfectly. He also took the time to understand our exact music tastes and tailored the soundtrack of the night beautifully to our preferences.
As a live mixing DJ, his skills are top-tier. His transitions were incredibly smooth, and he read the vibe of the dance floor perfectly. The party was lively from start to finish, with absolutely no dead moments or drops in energy. We highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a highly skilled, professional, and talented DJ!

Hari was literally the best DJ for mine and my husband’s wedding earlier this month! From taking song requests from my flower girl to keeping the dance floor buzzing, he made our wedding an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!

lect info on how we wanted the proceedings to go not only built our confidence that there wouldn't be any misunderstandings, but it also was a very helpful tool for our own planning process in building up our itinerary. We didn't have a grand vision for our music, but with the limited information and few songs that we did give Matt, he did an excellent job of crafting the cocktail hour, dinner, and dance party moods all throughout the night that really fit the atmosphere we were dreaming of. He was even so gracious as to help us mic our Maid of Honor and her acoustic guitar to play our First Dance song live. We received consistent compliments throughout the night and following weeks on the music and DJ work, and would highly recommend Elite Beats to anyone!

even in the midst of chaos! I’d consider myself very Type-A when it comes to music, and Tony took the probably four thousand playlists I sent him and just made it all work out so GOOD.

They were so professional, yet so fun and approachable—seriously felt like having a good friend behind the booth who just knew exactly what we needed at every moment. The music choices were flawless, the transitions smooth, and the way they read the room? Unreal. Every guest, young and old, had the best time and kept raving about the music! All of our guests at our wedding are still raving about the dj!
Thank you for making the night magical and full of joy. You didn’t just play music you created memories. Can’t wait to book you again!

tions when we were unsure. The dance floor was packed all night—from 7 PM to midnight—which is something I’ve never seen at a wedding before, and it's all thanks to Matt!
One of the highlights was his live mixing. The energy never dropped, and the music was an incredible mix of crowd favorites along with tracks that were special to my husband and me. I lost count of how many times wedding guests came up to me saying, “Oh my gosh, I didn’t even know I needed this remix in my life!” or “Who is this DJ?!”. It was clear everyone was having an amazing time.
For weeks after the wedding, we’ve had friends and family asking who our DJ was, and we’re so proud to say it was Matt! He truly made our wedding unforgettable, and I cannot recommend him or Elite Beats enough. If you want your wedding to be an epic party from start to finish, Matt is your guy!
