Working with Kenny as our MC and DJ for our wedding was a great experience. Kenny is a true professional who clearly takes pride in his work. He patiently worked with us to come up with a playlist and song selection that represented us and our tastes and vision for our wedding. Planning and leading up to our wedding, Kenny was great to work with, but it was truly the day of our wedding that he shone. He kept our day organized with his MCing and ensured we were on the same page for music cues; he was responsive to requests, and he was outstanding with the choice of music and mixing from track to track. Though we had a small wedding, the dance floor was always full. I highly recommend hiring Kenny for his professionalism, artistic talent, and upbeat personality. I also recommend getting the up lighting for an immersive effect. Thank you again, Kenny, for helping to make our dream wedding a reality!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Elite Entertainment came highly recommended and we understand why. From the initial zoom call to the wedding, DJ Mondo made the planning process so easy and seamless. He was incredibly professional from start to finish. He assisted us through the process patiently, gave us recommendations when we needed them, and was very accommodating when it came to making changes or being unsure of certain things. He took the time to understand our preferences and made sure the music matched the vibe of every moment. From the ceremony to the reception, he kept everything flowing smoothly and kept us on schedule. He even researched our Chinese Tea Ceremony playlist which was amazing because we had no idea what to play. The uplighting is 1000 percent a must have! Highly recommended!!

My husband and I used Elite Entertainment for our wedding this past September and we could not be happier about choosing them for entertainment. DJ Mondo was absolutely incredible. His attention to detail and coordination with other vendors on our wedding day assisted in ensuring timelines ran smoothly and on time. We were able to meet with DJ Mondo before our wedding day to discuss our vision, preferred music, music we didn’t want played, etc. We were able to get his insight and recommendations as well which made us feel at ease going into our wedding day knowing there was meticulous organization on their end. DJ Mondo’s set and energy kept our dance floor packed the entire night. My husband and I didn’t leave the dance floor once and ours guests had so much fun. They still talk about how great the music was. It truly is everything we wanted and more! We even have a friend planning a wedding next year that has already reached out to Elite to use them for their wedding after seeing them at ours. If you are looking for a team who is going to be responsive, organized, and ensure an entertaining night Kenny and Mondo are the people to reach out too!

We couldn’t have been happier with DJ Kenny for our wedding! From the very first introduction call (even before we officially booked him) to our wedding day and beyond, Kenny was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly responsive, emails were answered so quickly and you could truly tell how much he loves what he does and cares about his couples.
DJ Kenny was highly recommended and was at the top of every vendor list we saw, so we knew we needed to go with him — and he absolutely lived up to the hype! On our wedding day, he set the perfect tone, reading the crowd and keeping the energy up all night. Every detail, from the cocktail hour music to the reception and the uplighting, was seamless and exactly what we hoped for. So many of our guests commented on how great the music was!
Kenny’s passion, professionalism, and genuine kindness made him an absolute joy to work with. If you’re looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable, Kenny is the one!

Kenny, we cannot thank you enough for making our special day absolutely perfect! From start to finish, you were amazing and wonderful to work with. We knew we had nothing to worry about and we were in the best hands. You made the whole process seamless. Your professionalism, knowledge, dedication, talent, and upbeat personality are second to none. You are extremely accommodating and everything we wanted you made possible for our dream wedding. Kenny was always only a phone call away. We loved using the music app which made selecting the songs and our playlist easy, especially with the song recommendations included within the app. The uplighting, monogram, and cold sparks are a 10/10 and a must have! Kenny kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! We have received so many compliments from our family and friends that our DJ was the best ever. He made our wedding an unforgettable night! We strongly recommend Elite Entertainment for any occasion. Their service is 5 STAR.

We had DJ Kenny for our wedding in October 2024. He was the most professional, reliable, knowledgeable and FUN DJ. Music is such a major component of a wedding and DJ Kenny made sure all of our guests were up and dancing all night long. We could not recommend Elite Entertainment more!!!!!

DJ Kenny and DJ Mondo were amazing to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process! From our first inquiry and call, all the way through wedding day, they were both communicative and professional.
DJ Mondo took the time to walk us through our entire wedding day timeline in advance so we knew exactly how the music would flow from the ceremony to cocktail and reception. He took our recommendations for songs through their easy to use app but also really gauged our guests on wedding day and played songs he knew everyone would love. He was awesome to have as a part of our big day and really kept the energy up during our reception! He even got out on the dance floor with us at one point and our guests loved it.
We booked the social media booth service with them as well and our guests loved it. We also had so many photos to look at the day after our wedding because of this as well!
We can’t recommend Elite Entertainment enough for anyone’s wedding or special event! You will get truly top notch service.

If I could give 10 stars I would. DJ Kenny and DJ Joe absolutely killed it. All I wanted was for the night to be a big party and they exceeded all expectations. We had them do our ceremony, cocktail hour, and our reception music, uplighting, and the selfie station (which our guests LOVED). DJ Kenny kept it an absolute dance party all night long and was AMAZING to work with. He made you feel like you had been friends for years, so relaxed during planning and so amped and infectious the night of. There’s no question here- Elite Entertainment lives up to its name and then some!!!

Kenny was our DJ for our August 2024 wedding in Newport and we couldn’t be happier with his work! Working with Kenny was such a great experience. He was professional, responsive, and helped make our day run so smoothly. He was mindful in making sure our vision was heard and incorporated throughout our entire day. His skill for working a crowd and keeping the energy up made our wedding simply one to remember. Our guests still talk about how awesome our DJ was. We highly recommend working with Kenny and his team! You won’t be dissapointed.

"So, my feet finally stopped being sore today!" - actual text received from a bridesmaid one week after our wedding!
We worked with Kenny for logistics and Mondo for planning and day-of entertainment for our Newport, RI wedding! And WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!! From the get-go, both Kenny and Mondo had such an incredible energy and enthusiasm about working with us, that their excitement quickly became ours, and that's when we knew these men not only care about their craft but are experts at what they do. Elite Entertainment also came recommended to us by other vendors we had already built out contracts with - which signaled to my husband and I that they have good relationships with others in the industry. It was really important to us that we chose vendors who were kind and clear, and made us feel good and like our wants would be heard!
DJ Mondo "lit it up" (as my husband keeps saying!) and perfectly captured the cool, jazzy, vibey music mood we were going for during dinner, and then read the room like a book that kept people on the dance floor for the rest of the night! Going into this part of planning, I was really concerned about the emcee experience, since that's the part that as a guest at other weddings, seems to get overlooked. Mondo was so clear and commanding of the room, and perfectly pronounced both of our fairly difficult last names! We also had hired a saxophonist unrelated to Elite Entertainment, and DJ Mondo seemed to easily include and accommodate his song requests so he could have his moments of performing throughout the night!
If you're thinking about going the DJ route for your event, we highly recommend Elite Entertainment! The entire experience from start to finish really was elite!

Elite Entertainment blew our expectations out of the water for our wedding!
Kenny worked with us during contracting and we had DJ Mondo for our wedding. They were both extremely responsive and professional. They both have such passion for what they do and it shows in their work.
They use an app where you put all your formalities and songs. It made it super easy for both my husband and I to add items and work on it - separately and together. Mondo had a call with us and reviewed all of the items. It was incredibly easy and kept us all on the same page. Even in just our review call, you could hear how great of an MC he was going to be.
The day of the wedding, we didn’t have a single worry. He worked with our venue and they reviewed the timeline. Our ceremony went off without a hitch. People don’t realize that the DJ just isn’t a DJ, they are an MC and make so many key announcements and also keep the whole event on time. And Mondo killed it.
After dinner, it was a non-stop party. We picked songs and Mondo filled in with his expertise and it all flowed perfectly. He kept it high energy and fun the entire night. Everyone has so much fun and none of us wanted to stop dancing.
They also provided our Photo Booth. We used it as our guestbook and it was also so much fun. The attendant made sure everyone wrote something and helped us customize the backdrop and logo for on the photos. When we get the photos at the end, they made some gifs of the photos which was such a cool touch.
At the end of the day, pick Elite Entertainment! You will be so happy you did!

DJ Kenny was the best! A complete and total professional from beginning to end. He did all our music, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception. He always responded lightning fast to our various questions, and was nice enough to meet with us in person before our wedding when we visited our destination. He also really knows how to pace the night and we got multiple compliments throughout the night. Our dancefloor was busy all night and the last 20 min of our party were pure fire, exactly the vibe we were hoping for to end the night! We also did uplighting and dance lighting with him and the colors and lights were so fun and made for awesome photos later in the night. Would HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you DJ Kenny for making our day and night so special!!

My wife and I decided to work with Elite Entertainment after seeing them DJ a friend of ours wedding a few years ago. DJ Mondo was excellent to work with and really made the whole process a stress free one. I did not expect a huge dancing crowd but he had the guests on their feet and having fun the entire time. From the ceremony to the reception, he just plain nailed it. I would recommend elite to anyone looking for DJ services for any wedding or large event.

On behalf of Mark and myself, our families, and our guests we cannot thank you and Mondo enough! What an EPIC night!
When I first started researching vendors Elite Entertainment immediately caught my eye! The energy I felt through social media posts and the connection many before us wrote about in reviews stood out against the rest in your industry. From the very first call with Mondo, we knew he was the man for the job. He was organized, supportive, energetic, and reassuring.
When our venue informed us that our original day of coordinator had left and that we were receiving someone new, our anxiety kicked up a notch. Learning we would have to share a coordinator with another wedding had me furiously looking to hire one on our own. Then I remembered seeing Mondo post that he sometimes travels with additional staff to cater to individuals needs. When I reached out to Mondo explaining the situation, he immediately called me (not an email, but a call) to reassure me this is what signing with Elite means. He setup two additional meetings to help us with cues, timelines and logistics outside of the ceremonial and reception music.
Mondo, became my guiding light! The planning process was effortless! We had a bit more complex ceremony, with four processional songs alone, and Mondo complimented the idea, used the exact versions we wanted and made sure he had every detail I had planned correctly!
The week of the wedding, Mondo reached out to share that he was able to accommodate a request of ours. Mark’s older brother Scott has non-verbal severe autism, preventing him from being able to participate in our day. Mark’s mom chose the song “Thought You Should Know” by Morgan Wallen for their mother and son dance. There’s a line in the song that states “only damn son” and knowing it was probably impossible she asked me to ask Mondo if there was any way possible to remove that line. When Mondo informed me that he could and DID create “Lisa’s version” of the song we were all moved to tears. The littlest detail that no one would have noticed meant the world to us. That in and of itself is worth a 5 star review.
Then comes our wedding day- Mondo was confident and reassuring. He reviewed the cues, checked for any changes and kept us apprised of timing and made sure we were ready to go. Our ceremony was beautiful and perfect in every way! Upon entering our reception space, we had some interference issues due to the other wedding refusing to change frequencies. Mondo was transparent, solution oriented and communicated everything with us to make sure we were okay with his choices. We had full confidence, and Mondo delivered! Not sure what magic he worked but everything was flawless! Our guests are still raving about the music played and the energy he created on our dance floor! Mark and I had the night of our lives and that genuinely would not have been possible if it was not for Mondo and Elite Entertainment.
Thank you for being a major part of the best day of our lives! Please let us know where we can share reviews or how else we can get your company out there because if couples are not booking with Elite Entertainment then they’re doing it wrong!

Mondo DJed our 8/10/24 wedding and we cannot recommend him enough! The dance floor was packed all night - many guests have told us we had the best DJ they have ever heard at a wedding. Mondo knew exactly what songs to play to keep the crowd going, and was an excellent MC for the evening as well. Elite Entertainment was wonderful to work with - timely, professional, and able to offer suggestions and recommendations. We loved using the Vibo app which made planning song choices for the evening a breeze. Thank you Elite, Kenny & Mondo!!

DJ Kenny went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was absolutely perfect. His dedication to creating an incredible atmosphere for us and our guests was truly exceptional.
Not only did DJ Kenny deliver outstanding music and keep the energy high throughout the night, but he also made our photo booth experience everything we dreamed it would be. Our guests couldn't stop raving about him, and we received countless compliments on how he was the best wedding DJ they had ever seen.
Many of our friends and family have even reached out asking for a copy of our wedding playlist, which speaks volumes about the impact he had on everyone. We would not hesitate to hire DJ Kenny again for any future events. He is not only a fantastic DJ but also a genuinely great person who excels in his craft.

Kenny and Mondo are the GOATs of wedding DJs! Kenny was responsive from the very beginning of planning to following up the day after the wedding. The Vibo app they utilize to upload songs was incredibly helpful and the guests loved the music. Mondo scheduled a Zoom meeting a few weeks before so we could review everything. He was really the "master of ceremonies" so that everything ran smoothly and on schedule. He handled every detail and is so incredibly talented. Mondo edited several songs for me and responded quickly to all my questions and concerns. Our guests are still talking about the great music and lighting. The DJ sets the vibe for the celebration and I cannot say enough about the team at Elite. Thank you Mondo and Kenny!!

DJ Kenny is the secret to a stress free, flawless and FUN wedding weekend! He did our pre wedding sangeet celebration with speeches, singing and dancing performances and other cultural elements that he was super familiar with. He worked closely with us to understand what we needed and then executed on it flawlessly. He made both nights of our wedding weekend so fun! He perfectly understood the vibe we were looking for and made it a reality. The ceremony was smooth. The up lighting was such a perfect addition that made the whole space look elegant during the day and cool for dancing at night! Overall 10/10. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Everybody thinks that "Pauly D" is the DJ from Rhode Island....
here's what they DON'T know, Armando is the REAL GOAT
I couldn't be happier with the best decision that I was actually allowed to make in my recent life decision. Armando is INCREDIBLE. If you don''t choose him you are making a mistake.
Mondo is the GOAT......
Written by a new husband who loved working with Elite Entertainment<3 We were so appreciative and impressed with the level of care given to our wedding months before the day. Our dance floor was packed the WHOLE night! It's been three weeks since that night and people are commenting on the dj as one of their favorite elements. Our wedding was SO much fun and it was in big part to Armando from Elite!!

Having a good DJ was very important to us when searching for wedding vendors. Elite Entertainment had come very highly recommended, so we decided to check them out. We also noticed that they also offer Photo Booth services, so that was another reason we contacted them. The owner, Ken, is extremely professional and responsive over email and was overall a pleasure to work with. He made sure all of our questions were answered quickly and was also very friendly. We ended up going with DJ Mondo for our wedding. Mondo was amazing! Throughout the planning process, we touched base multiple times to set up our timeline and work out the details. Mondo was very professional, personable, and easy to work with. When the wedding day came, we had some last minute changes with rain and he made everything work seamlessly regardless. We even had multiple guests compliment him after the wedding. We cannot recommend DJ Mondo and Elite Entertainment enough!

My husband and I had Mondo as our DJ for our wedding reception at The Wharf and he was amazing! From the moment we got there he guided us on what we were going to do and how to do everything, like a wedding planner/DJ. The music was perfect! Once the dance floor opened up everyone I mean everyone was up dancing all night. Our guests said it was the best wedding they have been to! And that was because the music kept everyone happy and dancing. It was perfect vibes 👌 I will definitely use him in the future and refer him to anyone looking. Thank you so very much for making our day fabulous!

We are so happy we went with Elite Entertainment for our wedding on 4/6/24! From the start Kenny and Mondo were great with answering all of our questions and providing us with information. DJ Mondo was extremely professional and was great at communicating with us. He met with us a few times to make sure that he knew exactly what we wanted and on the day of the wedding he continually checked in with us to make sure everything was going as planned. He offered us great recommendations and had a lot of knowledge to help with planning. He was very organized and worked together with other vendors to make our day perfect! He did a great job playing all of the songs we wanted played and created a great vibe for all of our guests. We got lots of compliments from our guests stating they had a blast dancing and that the music was great. If you are looking for a reliable DJ who you can trust to make your wedding great then definitely go with Elite Entertainment and you won't be disappointed!!

We are beyond grateful with the incredible job DJ Mondo did at our wedding! From start to finish, the Elite Entertainment team was an absolute pleasure to work with and played a crucial role in curating the vibes and making our day unforgettable. Mondo was a part of the backbone of the absolute perfection of our wedding day!
We booked with Elite for our ceremony and 6 hours + uplighting for our reception and truly couldn’t be happier. During the planning process, Mondo was attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in understanding our musical preferences and vision for each part of the day considering music was one of our top priorities. He set us up on an app that helped layout every part of the wedding day from pre-ceremony to reception. When we had gotten closer to the wedding day, Mondo met with us and reviewed everything with us to make sure we were always on the same page. He even helped us realize we had no music selected for dinner! Thankfully he has a great, thorough process that makes sure we didn't miss anything else (which is so appreciated during the overwhelming wedding planning process).
Mondo was also super helpful and talented when we were selecting songs, even helping to edit and cut specific parts of songs for our first dance, ceremony build up, and our wedding party introductions. He genuinely cared about our experience and went above and beyond to make sure our wishes were being looked after. For example, there were times that he made the effort to find us and check in when guests were requesting potential do not play songs, to make unexpected speeches, etc. Everyone adored Mondo and we still get compliments about how immaculate the music and vibes were - he even started up a spontaneous conga line and set up an iconic and super special last song moment for us. Truly some of the highlights of the entire day!
We would recommend DJ Mondo at Elite Entertainment every time!

We used Elite Entertainment for our wedding in November 2023. Right from the start, Mondo and Kenny made sure we were super comfortable and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We had several video calls with Mondo throughout our planning process and he was so helpful as we were a little anxious about the type of music we wanted played at our wedding. On the actual day of the wedding, Mondo and his assistant were on time, professional, and super involved in our day. We were beyond happy with the service they provided and were blown away with the music and uplighting. Definitely use their uplighting since it transformed our space and blew our guests away. A month later, people are still talking about the music at our wedding and we couldn't be more grateful for the Elite Entertainment team. Book them for your event, you won't be disappointed!

Elite Entertainment was one of the most incredible decisions we made for our wedding. Ken is truly spectacular at what he does and had the vibes on point for the entire evening. The music, set up, and professionalism were all top notch. Our guests were raving about the song selection and atmosphere both during the wedding and after to this day! We even had friends saying we want to hire Ken for their future weddings. We cannot thank Elite enough for helping make our day so special. It's all in the name with them...ELITE!!!

Armando from Elite Entertainment went above and beyond, surpassing all my expectations. Hiring them you for my wedding was the ultimate game-changer. With an incredible ability to get every age group on the dance floor, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was the highlight of my event, and I'm beyond pleased. Choosing the right DJ is pivotal for a memorable wedding. I'll wholeheartedly recommend this crew for any event—my guests are still raving about the 'epic' wedding created by this amazing DJ.

Kenny is the best of the best. He took complete control and lead the reception, so all our moments were organized and ran smoothly. He kept everyone on the dance floor, and was so attentive to us and the bridal party. Could not have done the day without him. The prep leading up to the day was well thought out, and easy to plan with his app. Not to mention we had the coolest monogram displayed for all our guests, which just elevated the space even more. Couldn’t be more thrilled to have worked with him.

DJ Kenny was amazing at our September 2023 wedding! We hired Elite Entertainment for our ceremony, cocktail, and reception music and my husband and I were blown away by how seamless the music transition was. Kenny got everyone up and dancing the entire night. Our guests raved about how the music fit so many generations. Elite Entertainment also provided uplighting for our venue at Newport Vineyards and it made the room shine! Not only did he provide exceptional music but prior to the wedding, Kenny’s planning checklist and phone call helped make sure the night was everything we wanted. 10/10 recommend.

I can not say more amazing things about Kenny!! He is truly amazing not only at what he does but as a person! Kenny did our wedding October 2023 and we could not have chosen anyone better. He is so professional and personable with everything that he does. We still have people taking about how amazing of a DJ he is. He gets back to you right away when you need him to and he helped us threw the process. He had the dance floor going on all night and knew how to read the crowd! I can not thank him enough for what he did and made our day so special! Kenny and Matt and I thank you so much!

Kenny KILLED it at our October 2023 wedding!! After a few inquiry phone calls with multiple DJ’s, we had absolutely no doubt that Kenny would, by far, be the best pick. Being first generation Americans, we wanted to honor both of our Italian and Syrian cultures. Kenny worked with us to come up with the BEST reception entrance by mixing both Arabic and Italian music. Kirkbrae’s giant dance floor was packed all night long (no exaggeration!!) Kenny mixed so many different music genres and decades seamlessly. I can’t even count how many of our guests that have called us and our parents saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. The planning process also couldn’t have been more simple. We had access to an app that listed all planning questions and allowed us to add music from multiple music platforms. It’s also worth noting that Kenny was definitely the quickest with responding to emails out of all of my vendors. We will recommend Kenny to everyone in need of a DJ!! Absolutely book him!!

Elite entertainment should be your choice of DJ for your wedding. From the pre-planning calls and planning through the music app to the day of Kenny and Armondo were amazing supporters and always helpful in the suggestions offered.
We had Armondo as our DJ who was absolutely amazing and paced the event perfectly from transition to transition. Everyone mentioned how amazing he was in getting everyone on the dance floor and keeping people there. The song choices were spot on and the DJ set up was extremely professional.
We are so grateful to Armondo for making the evening so beautiful and giving our guests something to talk about!

Elite Entertainment was probably the first vendor I booked after booking our venue. Their presence on social media, their vibe is what spoke to me. Kenny and team have so much experience and knowledge in the industry. From booking to the event, communication was easy and effortless which you can’t say about vendors often. Kenny was extremely responsive and helped us get a sense of the vibe we wanted for music at our wedding. We had an intimate wedding if about 60-65 guests and he rocked it. I never wanted to leave the dance floor! My friends whom are all of wedding going age all complimented how it was the best wedding they’d been to ever and Kenny was a “legit” DJ who knew how to transition and mix. The sound for ceremony and reception was phenomenal. He also sets you up with an app which you can add music to throughout the time your booked with him rather than filling out a piece of paper that you can’t adjust as needed. The up lighting was so fun. Kenny was so personable and I hope we keep in touch from here on out. I wish we could do the wedding all over again just to have Kenny be our DJ. Thank you again Elite!!!

If you're looking for an amazing DJ who is professional, organized, and wants to make sure everything runs smoothly for your wedding/event, DJ Kenny is your guy! He was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I had full trust in him that he would do whatever it took to make our wedding day the best day ever. He met with us a few weeks before our wedding to run everything through, made sure our questions were answered and most importantly that we felt comfortable. He does a great job at reading the room to make sure the dance floor is filled and everyone is having a blast. You will not be disappointed with DJ Kenny/Elite Entertainment!

We had such a great experience working with Elite Entertainment for our Newport RI wedding last weekend! DJ Mondo was awesome and we received so many compliments throughout the night from guests saying it was one of the best DJs they’ve heard at weddings! Both Kenny and Mondo were a pleasure to work with and their response times were always within minutes. We also used the photobooth through Elite and it was a huge hit! I couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re planning your wedding in the Rhode Island area.

Ken was the DJ at our Newport wedding that we hosted at Castle Hill Inn, and he exceeded our wildest expectations. He truly made this day a dream come true. Music was one of my husband and I top priority. Our family and friends love to party and dance and we wanted everyone to enjoy the music all night long. Ken did not disappoint. From day 1 he was organized, thoughtful, and attentive to everything we were looking for. He was easy to work with, and extremely responsive. The platform he uses to organize music also made everything super easy for us. He understood and listened to our the mood and vibe we wanted and delivered on every front. He was also very organized with our bridal party and helped manage timeline and entrances perfectly. He was engaging with our guests and presented in a sharp, professional manner. We’re still receiving Compliments! We would recommend Ken any day of the week, he’s simply the best!

Kenny was the DJ for our wedding in September 2023. He was absolutely incredible, he made the transition from our wedding playlist to the special day so easy. He was extremely organized and professional. He was prompt with responses and communicated us through every step from the day we chose him as a vendor to the day of the wedding. He even created a special song mash-up with my mother behind the scenes and surprised me on the day of the wedding. This meant so much to me and my family. Thank you Kenny again I can't speak more highly of you as a person and DJ!

It’s really no surprise that Ken wins Best of Rhode Island year after year! As a couple, we knew that not all of our guests had the same musical taste as us. Ken worked with us to curate a playlist that met our needs while making sure that our guests never left the dance floor. Throughout the night, I could tell that Ken was constantly checking in on us from across the room to ensure that George and I were having fun. Needless to say, we had the absolute best night of our lives. There is so much that goes into planning a wedding, and many decisions are hard to make. If you’re looking for entertainment for your event, this is a no-brainer! Ken and his team love what they do. Their talent and attention to detail are unmatched. Thank you, Ken, for bringing our vision to life and for playing such an integral role in the best day of our lives. - Stephanie and George

My husband and I are so happy we selected Elite Entertainment for our wedding! DJ Mondo met with us two times before our event and carefully listened to the vision we had in mind. He was also extremely responsive to any additional concerns or questions we had throughout the planning process. At our wedding, he kept the crowd dancing all night. We received so much positive feedback from our guests about the services DJ Mondo provided following our event. We are so satisfied with our choice to have Elite Entertainment at our wedding!

We would like to sincerely thank DJ Ken at Elite Entertainment for such an amazing job at our wedding. Ken made us both feel so at ease for the entire day. We got to sit down a month in advance to review everything one on one with him- he took very detailed notes to make sure he understood what we were envisioning for the day. We found the app he uses to organize our requests so easy and helpful to use. DJ Ken listened to our requests and delivered more than we could have imagined! Once the dance floor opened, DJ Ken kept the crowd out on the dance floor all night long (even with the extra hour we added)! I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you for everything!!!

Mondo at Elite Entertainment was a pleasure to work with. We had several calls with him before the wedding to pinpoint our preferences and how we wanted everything to pan out. He was patient, understanding and gave good feedback based on his experience. He checked in with me before and during the wedding to ensure I was feeling confident and happy with everything. We really wanted our wedding to have music that was very true to us. So many of our wedding guests came up to us and said the music reminded them of us. It was very special and we couldn’t have done it without Mondo.
We Wwould recommend him and Elite to anyone planning a wedding.

We can't say enough good things about Elite Entertainment & DJ Kenny! We got married at OceanCliff in Newport, RI on 7/8/23 and since our wedding we have had SO many friends and family members reaching out to tell us how much fun they had at our wedding and how great our DJ was. We've been to a ton of weddings and choosing the right entertainment was a decision my husband and I really stressed about. We wanted a DJ that would get our guests excited during the reception but still match the right tone during cocktail hour and dinner - DJ Kenny was that person! He was so personable and fun to work with. I even sent him a TikTok of an exit song for our ceremony that I had seen and wanted to copy and he executed it flawlessly. I'm an admitted control-freak but with our music I was really able to trust Elite Entertainment. DJ Kenny seriously nailed every portion of our wedding - from the ceremony exit, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing at the reception everything was executed flawlessly. Our guests continue to tell us how great our DJ was and how much fun they had which is seriously the best feeling in the world. You need to hire Elite Entertainment - they will exceed all of your expectations!!

We were so impressed by the entertainment. DJ Mondo was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. We were blown away by how seamlessly he coordinated with our saxophone player. This was the best wedding DJ experience we have ever seen. Thank you so much for your professionalism and thoughtfulness.

We used Elite for our backyard wedding and Mondo was our DJ. Not only did he go WAY above and beyond to prepare ahead of time but he let me give him a list of my favorite songs and actually played them! His attention to detail and desire to make our day amazing will have me forever grateful we had him work our wedding. I find myself wishing I had more events to organize just so Mondo could DJ them. He was a great MC for keeping the wedding moving smoothly throughout the night.
I will not stop recommending him and Elite Entertainment forever!
