Elite Sound is a preferred vendor at our venue, the Park Chateau. We chose them because they had wonderful reviews and we felt as if we were receiving a great deal as compared to competing vendors. Nicole Banki from client services was absolute...ly PHENOMENAL when booking and throughout the entire planning process. She worked with me to add on a surprise element for my husband, as well as the string trio for our ceremony. She is incredibly organized, and was also sending us updates and reminders to fill out our online planner (which was super user friendly!)
We were SUPER excited about Raul and Mike, we requested them 6+ months out as they both had stellar reviews. And they did not disappoint! They were SO sweet, super encouraging, and had INCREDIBLE “rock star” energy the whole night! They said to us multiple times “our goal is to make sure you guys have the best night ever!” My husband and I had a BLAST, as did our family and friends! There were people on the dance floor all night, and they played a great mix of music from oldies to 90s rock, classics to popular dance hits, and of course our Penn State favorites. My best friend got ahold of the mic a few times throughout the night, so of course we had some sing alongs, it was seriously SO MUCH FUN! We wanted a party and they gave it to us! We had such an unforgettable night!
I booked Art Chrichlow, a live saxophone player, through Elite Sound as a surprise for my husband. I booked him for the full 4 hours of our reception. HOLY COW, HE WAS FREAKING AWESOME! He was one of THE BEST parts of our wedding. He added such a fun and interactive element to our dance floor and was SO TALENTED! He literally could play along to any song! Our guests are STILL talking about how incredible he was. If you are even slightly considering adding a live musician to your reception, DO IT!!! We had a blast!
We booked the string trio through Elite Sound as well. They played for 30 minutes as guests were arriving, and for our full 30 minute ceremony. Dave was wonderful, such a sweetheart! I sent him an email asking if I had to choose from a set list of songs, and he assured me that as long as there is sheet music for the song, they will make it happen, as this is our day and he wants to make it special for us. The day of the wedding they were amazing. They added such a special and romantic element to our ceremony, and were able to play every song my husband and I required!
Lastly, we booked our open air photo booth through Elite Sound. I provided the backdrop, as I wanted a flower wall. It was a huge hit! The photo both attendant was so friendly and very professional!
