Our wedding was in August 2025, and it was an unforgettable night thanks to the Elite Sound Entertainment team! I highly recommend them. DJ Raúl was one of the DJs who helped us. He was very kind, professional, and easy to work with. He was also a great help to us because our families have a mix of European, Latin, and American musical styles, and he managed to blend them all so everyone had a fantastic night. I've been to weddings where they only played current hits or really old songs, and people just sat there the whole time. I understand it's difficult to please a diverse audience with different musical tastes, but it was very important to me that my parents, their friends, and everyone else could join us on the dance floor. Raúl played songs from every decade and from all our cultures. Everyone I spoke to that night told me how much fun they were having. It was the best night of my life, and Raúl had a lot to do with that.

Elite Sound did a great job at our wedding! Raul made everything leading up to the day very easy. We filled out an online form for any specifics that was very easy to use. On the wedding day, he did a great job reading the room and played a variety of music for everyone to enjoy. The dance floor was full all night. I definitely recommend!

From the minute the doors opened for entrances to the last song of the night Rual and Mike had all of our guests on the dance floor! They didn't want it to end. So many compliments from our friends and family. I would highly recommend this duo anytime! Thank you for making our special night one to remember.

ESE was a preferred vendor with our wedding venue. It was so easy to work with them - they had a super responsive team via email and phone. Their flexible menu of services allowed for us to book them for the photo booth only. The photo booth tech was modern/up to date; we opted for immediate printouts for our guests. I loved that we were able to use our own digital template we purchased online to keep our font theme consistent. Their props were also cute not cringe or over the top. Would recommend!

We hired Elite Sound Entertainment for our wedding, and the team completely exceeded every expectation! From the very first conversation with the awesome Raul, the whole Elite Sound Entertainment team was professional, organized, and genuinely excited to make our day perfect.
DJ Johnny Budz & emcee Danny Gee kept the energy going all night — the dance floor was packed from start to finish! The music selection was spot-on and flowed perfectly throughout the night. They really listened to what we wanted, created the classic Jersey Shore party, and read the crowd effortlessly- my feet hurt for days from the nonstop dancing!
Our Photo Booth was such a hit with all of our guests! The quality of the photos was amazing, and the props and flower wall backdrop were so fun. We also added a few extras like uplighting, intelligent lighting, cold sparks, and dancing on the clouds, and everything looked absolutely incredible and enhanced our venue’s gorgeous ballroom spectacularly.
We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out — Elite Sound Entertainment helped make our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares about your experience and brings the best energy, look no further! - Alexis & Antonio Russo

We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, Raul from Elite Sound was absolutely amazing—professional, energetic, and such a joy to work with. He made everything so easy for us during the planning process and truly went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable.
On the day of, he brought the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. He read the room effortlessly, kept the dance floor packed all night, and created an incredible atmosphere that our guests are still talking about. His positive energy was contagious, and it felt like he was celebrating right alongside us.
If you’re looking for a DJ who will not only deliver amazing music but also bring the best vibes and ensure everyone has an incredible time, look no further. We couldn’t recommend him more highly—he made our wedding an unforgettable celebration! Even better that we realized he was also the dj that rocked the house for one of my husbands best friend!!! 1000/10 reccomend

We had our wedding on 8/31, and to this day our guests still cannot stop talking about our DJ! Danny Gee went above and beyond. He followed all our requests, helped us curate the perfect playlist for every moment of the day, and kept the energy high from start to finish. The dance floor was never empty! On top of being an incredible DJ, he was the ultimate hype man, making sure everyone was having the best time. If you’re looking for someone who will truly elevate your wedding or event, Danny Gee is your guy.

I cannot recommend DJ Raul and the rest of the team at Elite Sound Entertainment enough! Raul was kind, professional, and so easy to work with. My only request to Raul was to make sure the dance floor stayed full, and he delivered all night long. I’ve been to weddings where only hits from the 2000s were played and the older crowd sat the entire time. I can understand it being difficult to appease a crowd of different generations with different tastes in music, but it was really important to me that my parents, their friends, aunts, uncles, etc. joined us on the dance floor. Raul played songs from all different decades and every single person I spoke to that night kept saying how much fun they were having. It was the best night of my life and Raul played such a big part in that.

I cannot recommend DJ Raul and the entire Elite Sound team enough! Raul had the dance floor packed all night and everyone complimented what a fun wedding we had. Raul was professional, kind, and so easy to work with.
We had been to 2 other weddings that Raul DJed at and he went above and beyond for us, even including a photo montage of our engagement pictures which made us feel so special!
We had the saxophone player through Elite and it was such a big hit and kept the crowd going all night. We can’t thank Raul and the whole team for making our wedding day one to remember. We would recommend Raul and Elite Sound a hundred times over!

Perfection is the best way to describe DJ DannyGee. He absolutely NAILED the music at our wedding, kept the floor full all night and everything flowed so well. Never a dull moment and he really took the time and listened to what my husband and I wanted. Could not have asked for better!

DJ Raul from Elite Sound Entertainment brought our party to LIFE and absolutely KILLED it!! From the first song to the last dance, he had us and our guests on our feet the entire night. We seriously couldn’t leave the dance floor if we tried.
Choosing a DJ was one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning for us – we wanted someone who would understand the energy we were going for, keep things flowing, and avoid any awkward transitions or off-vibe song choices. Raul understood the assignment perfectly. He took all of our suggestions and ran with them, reading the room like a total pro and creating the exact vibe we had dreamed of. His transitions were flawless, his energy was contagious, and he kept the momentum going nonstop. We’ve had so many guests tell us it was one of the best dance floors they’ve ever been on and we couldn’t agree more. Choosing DJ Raul was one of the best decisions we made, and we’re so grateful he made our night truly unforgettable! Thank you for everything, Raul!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Elite Sound Entertainment. Everything was so perfect and they really worked with us to ensure our day was exactly as we wanted. They also provide so many little extras that just made our day perfect - the LOVE marquee, the sparklers on the dance floor, the flower wall, our photo booth and of course our wonderful DJ Sam and emcee JP!
Sam and JP were an absolute dream team. They kept the evening flowing, fit in our song requests, and absolutely made our night better than we could have imagined. We loved seeing everyone have SUCH a great time on the dance floor. I appreciated Sam’s patience as my daughter had several requests throughout the night.
If you are looking for a company that can encompass everything for your wedding - this is the crew to hire!

We hired DannyGee as our DJ for our wedding on June 21st, 2025!! My husband and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out! From our first meeting, he was professional, organized, and really listened to what we wanted. A week leading up to the wedding we had a "pre-wedding meeting" to go over all the final details, which made us feel totally at ease going into the big day.
DannyGee did a fantastic job with our ceremony music. Everything was timed perfectly and sounded beautiful. He made the whole experience seamless from start to finish.
During the reception, he kept the energy high and the dancefloor packed all night long, with music that appealed to every age group. The lighting setup added a vibrant atmosphere, the photobooth was a huge hit, and the live sax player was an incredible touch that took things to the next level.
We’re so grateful to DannyGee and his team for helping make our day absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding DJ!

Had a great experience! Danny was a blast at the wedding and they had a great crew with them. Any thing I needed or asked for they had ready on hand for me. They waited for me and made sure I was around before doing anything important and he made sure that I had my special dance moment with my friends, which was greatly appreciated!

Raul and Jorge did an excellent job at The Legacy Castle! Raul, as the master of ceremonies/DJ and Jorge, as another DJ followed everything according to plan. The music was amazing, but what was even better was the string trio that they hired. The light show made the night phenomenal and the guests continue to talk about how amazing everything was. Thank you Raul and Jorge!

Barry was BEYOND amazing from start to finish! In the month leading up to the wedding, he was so thoughtful about checking in, reviewing timelines, confirming name pronunciations, and asking important questions—many of which we didn’t even know to think about. His attention to detail gave us time to think through everything and feel fully prepared.
We had a wide range of ages and music tastes among our guests, and Barry absolutely nailed it! We had asked for a DJais-style power hour, and he delivered one that was just as good, if not better, than the real thing. Our friends who love that music style had the BEST time—and even our parents and more conservative guests were out on the dance floor jamming along!
Music was one of the few things I was nervous about because it makes or breaks a wedding—and Barry made sure it was unforgettable. The energy never dipped - even during the touching moments and slow songs. In fact, the ONLY complaint from guests was that hardly anyone ate cake because they couldn’t get off the dance floor!
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ experience. 10/5 ⭐️ !

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Raul from Elite Sound Entertainment! He kept the dance floor packed all night, and our guests haven’t stopped talking about how much fun they had. Raul went above and beyond, creating a special mix for the Father/Daughter dance and another mix that brought me and my friends right back to our D’Jais days in Belmar. He completely understood our vibe and made sure every moment was perfect.
Elite Sound Entertainment also provided a photobooth and a violinist during our cocktail hour, which added such a special touch to the night. The photobooth was a huge hit with our guests, and the violinist set the perfect ambiance to kick off the evening.
We had an absolute blast at our wedding, and we can’t recommend Raul and Elite Sound Entertainment enough!

Elite Sound truly did not Disappoint. From the ceremony music, to Doug on MC, the saxophone, drummer, photo booth, to Danny playing fan favorites all night long, it was truly a party and a day/night we will never forget. My husband and I did not leave our dancefloor ONE time so not sure if many brides and grooms can truthfully say that. We were having such a dance party our venue did not even pull us aside to cut our cake.
They made the wedding process so easy and loved working with them all!! 10/10 !!!

Prior to our wedding, Anthony R. reviewed with us all the specific songs we wanted for the special moments (e.g., ceremony, first dance, father daughter dance, cake cutting, etc), as well as the list of songs we provided to get a sense of the vibe we were going for, and he absolutely nailed it! The dance floor was packed the entire night and, the day after the wedding, I received so many compliments about how amazing the DJ and music were! He played a wide range of hits to cater to all ages. When I think back to our wedding, one of the first things I think is just how much FUN it was, and Anthony's work was a huge part of that.

Our wedding on December 14th was the best day of our lives thanks to the amazing team at Elite Sound Entertainment! Through working together for almost two years of planning, anyone we spoke with from Elite Sound Entertainment was super helpful, friendly, and responsive. They had us feeling so hyped for our wedding from the start and that energy was brought to our wedding day x10000! Raul was our MC and we are so appreciative of the effort he put into making sure our vision was executed perfectly from the beautiful live ceremony musicians to the crowd favorite photo booth and everything in between. He even took the time to clean-up a poor quality version of our first dance song because he knew how special it was to us. Raul’s awesome energy had our guests feeling welcomed on the dance floor all night. Raul and our DJ Mikey Gee worked perfectly in-sync to ensure our crowd had an unforgettable time dancing and letting loose! It was awesome to see family and friends of different ages coming together to share in the joy of the music and you could feel the love on the dance floor. Even our 3 year old nephew spent most of the time tearing it up in front of the DJ booth! We love that Mikey Gee played all of our favorites while also feeling the pulse of the crowd. We never knew what was coming next and loved every minute of it! Elite Sound Entertainment made us feel like we could trust them from the start and are so grateful for how seamless they made this aspect of wedding planning for us. It has only been two days since our wedding and we have had so many guests rave at how great the music was. Ricky and I barely left the dance floor the whole day! You know it’s a great wedding when we are still without voices. Thank you to DJ Mikey Gee, Raul, the live musicians, photo booth attendant, and the incredible staff at Elite Sound Entertainment. We will forever be grateful for the role you played in the best day ever!!

We booked Elite Entertainment for our wedding DJ and Photobooth, and we think that they did a nice job overall. The photobooth was a big hit with our guests, and that paired with our photobooth guest book, made for some lasting fun memories. We had a DJ, MC, and photobooth attendant for our event (Raul, Daran, and Mariela). They did a great job keeping the energy up in our guests for the night. They also had the option to have live music for our ceremony, which we had a violinist and it was absolutely beautiful. They have a comprehensive music and information form that you work on filling out prior to your event and then review in the week leading up to your event. The one thing I would recommend they improve upon is if there is a set list of toasts that the bride and groom want to be done, the DJ should really stick to that without deviation or if they do want to deviate, they should run it by the bride or groom first. I say this since at ours, they allowed two extra speeches to be made without our permission, which is kind of not what you want on your wedding day, but it is what it is.

We understand how important it is to stick to the agreed-upon schedule, and we want to clarify that Raul initially declined the request for extra speeches because he wanted to check with the you and Justin first. However, Justin’s sister confirmed that she had already checked with the him , and it was okay to proceed. We always strive to follow your wishes, and we appreciate your understanding. Thanks again for choosing Elite Sound Entertainment!

Raul was the best DJ! He knows how to get the crowd on the dance floor and get the party started. While my husband and I had the best time, hearing the guests say that "the music at the wedding great" and "I have not danced so much at a wedding" speaks for itself!
Raul took the time to meet with us, plan the timeline of events, and catered to our music preferences. We enjoyed working with him and would recommend to others for their wedding and events!

Raul and Elite Sound Entertainment was AMAZING!! I originally booked him for my Oct 2023 wedding, however when we had to postpone it for a year due to our child’s medical health, Raul was more than accommodating. He made sure he was still there. One year later, to help us celebrate our big day! Everything ran so smoothly, from the ceremony music, to cocktail hour! The reception… FORGET ABOUT IT! Our guests were on the dance floor THE ENTIRE NIGHT! My family is half Dominican so they raves about the bilingual music and various generes! They have multiple add ons and packages and we chose the photo booth as part of our package and our guests loved it!! Overall 10/10. DJ’s make or break weddings so if you’re still looking, just stop and book with Raul and Elite SoundEntertainment!

We booked Elite Sound Entertainment more than a year in advance (event: August 2024) and had zero hiccups whatsoever. We first met with DJ Raul while exploring options and knew right away we wanted to book the team. We had a package including fog machines, lights, and sparklers, but the most memorable service was the La Hora Loca - it truly made a unique and memorable event for all our guests, one the distinguished our event from any other event. Furthermore, DJ Raul had created the perfect playlist for a wedding that blended two cultures and it felt like home to both sides of the family. To keep it short and simple: book Elite Sound Entertainment ASAP and continue on with the rest of your event planning with peace of mind - this was an easy choice; you will not have any regrets.

We hired Elite Sound for our wedding on 10/20, and they were fantastic! Doug and Anthony kept our dance floor packed the entire evening, which is exactly what we were hoping for. They did a great job of playing the music genres that we requested while also keeping the crowd engaged, and were quick to change songs if they noticed that me and my wife were not vibing with something. Planning with them was a breeze as well - they have a nice website where you can enter all of your song requests and music preferences beforehand, which we found very helpful and easy to use. I would highly recommend them for any event!!

I could not have asked for a better DJ! I was so nervous when booking a DJ because between them and your food it can make or break your wedding. They Made it! They went above and beyond from making a slide show for my dad as I did a mother and bride dance. To LED sticks for all of guest to dance with. My husband and I love a Photo Booth and they were more than reasonable with a variety of backgrounds, print outs and to help guest they have an operator. We added on the digital seating chart last minute and let me tell you I would 100% recommend it!! Save yourself the headache and stress of putting your own chart together or any last minute changes ruining your chart this digital chart is so easy to manage and looks absolutely incredible. Don't look any further you've found the one!

The dance floor was packed all night and I’ve been getting nothing but compliments on the music.

DJ Mikey Gee and MC Jon Paul are absolute masters of their craft! In our meeting, I told JP I wanted the party to kick off right after dinner and never slow down—and they delivered that to perfection. The energy was unreal, and the vibes were immaculate all night long. I’ve had so many guests tell me it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and it’s all thanks to them. Their ability to cater to everyone’s musical tastes with seamless mixes was incredible—I didn’t have to request a single song, and they nailed it from start to finish!
But it wasn’t just about the party. The cocktail hour had the perfect ambiance, and the violinist they provided was nothing short of magical. They even ensured every speech and the entire ceremony could be heard clearly by all our guests. From beginning to end, they made our wedding unforgettable, and I couldn’t recommend them more!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about DJ Raul and Elite Sound Entertainment! From the moment we began planning our wedding, Raul was attentive, professional, and genuinely excited about making our big day unforgettable. He took the time to understand our musical preferences and created a custom playlist that perfectly captured the vibe we wanted.
On the night of our wedding, Raul absolutely delivered! He had everyone on the dance floor from the first song to the last, blending genres seamlessly and keeping the energy high. It was incredible to see our guests—of all ages—having the time of their lives, and we have Raul to thank for that.
The sound quality was top-notch, and the lighting added an extra touch of magic to the evening. Raul even took requests, making sure everyone felt included. His ability to read the crowd was impressive; he knew just when to slow it down and when to pump up the energy again.
We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the music was, and it truly made our wedding a night to remember. If you’re looking for a DJ who will go above and beyond to make your event spectacular, look no further than Raul and Elite Sound Entertainment. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Raul, for making our wedding day so special!

DJ Raul C was AMAZING! We’re so glad we hired him for our wedding, it was an absolute blast having him give the musical vibes for our day! We got sooo many compliments on our DJ by the end of the night, and honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people on the dance floor at once! I knew I had the right guy when it felt like my high party energy was reciprocated by his perfect music match—shoot, I even crowd surfed at one point! Highly recommend my guy DJ Raul C!

Elite Sound Entertainment swept us off of our feet! Working with Mikey, Doug, Raul, and the team was seamless, professional, and prompt. We had many customizations that we provided and they had no problem executing them perfectly. They were all very flexible and accommodating when we needed to modify our contract to add in additional services to our special day.
The reception was everything we could have asked for. Our guests were always on the dancefloor, and Mikey accommodated to all of our guests. We definitely could tell he took time to review our curated playlist, and the music felt like us all the way through. Doug was the perfect MC and had high energy the whole night through! He hyped up our guests and got them on the dance floor, and was prompt in making sure our first dance, parent dances, cake cutting, and speeches all happened at the designated times. They both also had loads of fun executing our special Filipino tradition - the money dance - and making sure all the guests joined in. We also added a saxaphone player to our night, and he made sure to add extra emphasis to all songs!
The lighting and atmosphere really set the tone: elegant and classy during dinner and speeches, and fun and vibrant during the dancing! Our guests constantly complemented the Elite team and the entire vibe of the night.
The photobooth was such a fun addition for us and our guests! I told the Elite time that I wasn't too fond of props, so they made sure to only bring a few select props. It really shows that they listen to exactly what their clients want.
We had constant compliments the entire night, and truly appreciate everything Elite Sound Entertainment has done for us! We rarely left the dance floor the entire night which is a true compliment to how much fun we were having! We thank them from the bottom of our hearts and give them the highest amount of praise! Book them for a perfect evening!! You will not regret it.

I had originally booked Raul C because he was the DJ for one of my best friend’s weddings and absolutely crushed it - my parents, her parents and all of our friends were on the dance floor all night long.
And I truly am beyond happy that I did —Raul C from Elite Sound Entertainment is a LEGEND! My wedding guests of all ages and backgrounds have been calling me to say how great our DJ was. We all danced all night - even my friends who don’t tend to dance were on the dance floor! He even coordinated setting up my dad’s band to play a few songs at the end of the night, which was beyond special for us :)
Raul C isn’t just an amazing DJ but an amazing person too - I had a major medical emergency that left me in the hospital up until the day before my wedding. My now husband and I barely had any of our music info prepared as we were going to finalize it in those weeks before the wedding, but that did not work out lol.
We felt so stressed on top of dealing with my healing. I knew Raul was kind and easy going from our previous conversations, and I knew I could count on him - so I simply called him to tell him what happened.
Raul was immediately a lifesaver - his main concern was for me and how he could make this easier for me and my now husband during this stressful time. We shared a few songs with him only two nights before our wedding, and he promised he would make it work. And he DID, beyond anything we expected! He turned that little bit of info into the most epic playlists - songs that totally matched the vibe we wanted all along, but couldn’t really articulate ourselves. He played such gems across genres and time periods - it really was so cool to see people of all ages and parts of our life getting down and LOVING the music!
The stress Raul C took off of our plate directly contributed to my quick healing in the hospital. We were in a panic thinking “how are we going to get this done?”, but Raul C truly took care of it for us and it worked out incredibly.
He’s such a relaxed, easy going and CARING person. You never know what you will deal with on your wedding day or the week leading up to it - and having someone as flexible as Raul C as your DJ is extremely important.
We love Raul C and Elite Sound Entertainment!! Thank you again for your kindness and your talent - we are so lucky that you were available to DJ on our wedding day!!! We are so grateful for Raul C.

Elite sound did an amazing job for our wedding day. They made the perfect playlist for us and the energy from the team was great. We also got a percussionist and a saxophone player through them as well. Those two were amazing. The team was really professional and organized. We didn’t have to stress about them at all. Hire them for your big day if you can!

Elite Sound Entertainment was THE ABSOLUTE BEST! From the very beginning, they were super knowledgeable and responsive to all my questions! Johnny Budz was our DJ and he was incredible - I genuinely can't say enough good things about him and his team! We hired live musicians from ETE as well, who were all amazing, professional, and talented and a nice addition to our party. We also got our 360 photobooth from ETE, which added a "WOW" factor and something different for our guests.
Our guests are still talking about the entertainment and Johnny Budz because the music at our wedding ROCKED!! He listened to our vision and went above and beyond to exceed our expectations! Johnny Budz definitely understood the assignment. At the end of the night, our guests were chanting "ONE MORE SONG!"
If you need a DJ, do not hesitate to book Johnny and his team for your big day! They made wedding planning easy and knocked our wedding out of the park with how incredible they were! Thank you for making our wedding a day we'll never forget <3

We had the absolute best experience with our wedding DJ, Danny, and MC, Doug, along with their team—Raul, Frankie, and Mariela. They played a major role in making our wedding at Legacy Castle an unforgettable celebration. From the moment the music started, the energy in the room was electric! Danny had a perfect read on the crowd and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Doug, as the MC, was phenomenal, keeping the energy high and making sure every moment was filled with excitement and fun.
Not only was the music incredible, but the entire team’s professionalism and attention to detail stood out. Raul, Frankie, and Mariela worked seamlessly with the rest of our vendors to ensure everything flowed perfectly, and they were always one step ahead in creating the right mood for each part of the event. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how the music and entertainment truly made the night.
We couldn’t be happier with the atmosphere Danny and his team helped create, and we are so grateful for their role in making our wedding a night we’ll never forget. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier DJ, MC, and crew who know how to make a wedding truly come alive!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! Elite did an amazing job at our wedding! They made everything easy from our first meeting with Doug (our MC) to our final meeting with Danny (our DJ). The string trio at the ceremony was fantastic and set the perfect mood. The sparklers and smoke made our first dance magical! We loved the high energy that Danny, Doug and the live saxophone and drummer brought to the crowd! They kept everyone on the dance floor! The photobooth was also a big hit with our guests. Thank you again for a truly stellar night! You are the BEST!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, the music was spot on, perfectly matching the mood and keeping the energy up throughout the night. The DJ truly understood our taste and mixed in all our favorite songs, along with crowd-pleasers that had everyone on the dance floor. Not only was the music fantastic, but the DJ was also incredibly professional and easy to work with. They paid attention to all our requests and made sure everything flowed seamlessly, from the first dance to the last song of the night. The evening was so unforgettable and it was a night that we will cherish. And the DJ played a huge part in making it so special. Thank you for being such an important part of our big day. We highly recommend your services, Elite Sound Entertainment to anyone looking for an amazing DJ who knows how to keep the party going!

We recently had a wedding for my son at Park Savoy and we hired Elite Entertainment with DJ Raul. He was very accommodating during the negotiation and pleasant to talk to when it comes to your request of song selections. He may suggests what's better to enhance the show. He know to mix music to fit into the crowd especially we had two cultures wedding. It was fantastic. Awesome Raul, you made us happy! Thank you for a job well done.
