Fantastic DJ with plenty of options! We booked Nathan for our Wedding at Hart Meadows Ranch on Johns Island and he brought the party! The best part were the included cold sparklers during the reception, they were fun to dance around. We highly recommend Elite Events with Nathan as your DJ!
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
I really appreciate the review, thank you!
Nathan was a great DJ. He was accommodating with our music requests, Nathan navigated the dance floor and used his MC skills to the test. He used Nathan for 4+ hours and everyone came away sweaty and without their shoes, which in my mind is the proper way to judge a DJ. My parent's friends were talking about the DJ and the "vibe" he was able to produce. We had a great time using Nathan as our DJ. There were a few times when we had to go up to him and request a slow song to give people a dance break but that is the only "negative" I would say. Nathan sent us a long spreadsheet with all of our information on it weeks before that actually helped us plan out how we wanted the night to go. I loved the "do not play" section, any song that my husband put on it was not touched with a 10-foot pole. Our guests loved the up-lighting he had and I think it made the dance floor look like a proper dance floor.

Thank you so much!
Nathan was a delight to work with. We had an issue with our coordinator not showing up and he handled it perfectly. Nathan rolled with the chaos and made sure we had a smooth reception. Also, I'm very picky when it comes to music and he was super accommodating of that and played exactly what we wanted hear. I couldn't recommend Nathan/Elite Events Charleston more.
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
I really appreciate the review and congratulations!
Any questions?
We had a great experience at Dunes West hiring Elite Events to do our wedding! The dance floor was PACKED, there was no room to move! The kids really enjoyed the light show, and Nathan was very helpful in moving things along in a timely manner. When we asked Nathan for microphones for the ceremony and for singers, he was able to hook them up quickly before the ceremony started. We took all the photos from the photobooth and made a pretty cool album. Thanks again and will recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
Thank you for the 5 star review!
Elite Events brought the whole show! Nathan installed the Photobooth, lighting, and sound system the day of our event, and it went great. Thank goodness I was able to hire him before he got booked. I'm not sure what we would have done since we needed someone last minute and Nathan delivered!
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
Thank you so much for hiring me for your event!
Nathan was amazing!! He was super nice and very easy to work with! He kept things flowing all throughout my wedding! He was able to keep up with our very ahead of schedule time and handled song requests great! I had children at my wedding and all of the songs he chose were very appropriate and upbeat! I have referred him to several of my friends and their weddings! If anyone is looking for a DJ, Nathan is the one! :)
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
Thank you Alexis, what a fun night!
Our wedding was at Dunes West, and we needed music upstairs and downstairs, and photobooth and uplighting as well. Nathan was very accommodating and made sure that everyone had a good time. I would hire him again for any event, his system is brand new! Best DJ in Charleston Hands Down
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
I really appreciate the review!
Awesome DJ! Highly Recommended to perform at your wedding or any event, the music choices were great and the pricing was right on point. Thank you Nathan, we will be referring you for our cousins wedding in Charleston next year! The guests and bridal party are still raving about the dance party :-)
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
Wonderful! Thank you for you review.
The guests loved the included Photobooth! Fantastic DJ Service and local in Charleston, Nathan made planning and booking easy by reaching out to us several times and working closely with the wedding planner. If you are looking for a Wedding DJ, make sure to get Nathan before he gets booked! We found Nathan at the Wedding Festival and were able to get a good discount for the event.
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
Thank you so much!
5 star review for this DJ Service and entertainment company! If you are looking for a DJ, I would recommend Nathan's DJ Service, he was great and the included Photobooth and Uplighting was a nice touch, one of the more affordable packages from the DJ's we talked to and the booking process was easy. The kids really enjoyed the light show and fog
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
I can't thank you enough for hiring me. Thanks for the review and congrats!
Thank you for coming out for our special day, and for being flexible and bringing awesome music with you! Everyone keeps talking about how great the DJ was at our reception, kudos for getting everyone up out of their seats and on the dance floor!
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
Flexibility is key! Happy to be part of such an amazing event.
Nathan's DJ Service was amazing! We were running behind for the ceremony but he was flexible and made sure the bride and groom were at ease, the reception was a dance party with lots of lights and fun, photobooth, etc. We will never forget it!
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024
I can't thank you enough for the hire, and we made it happen! You are married! Congrats!
5 stars for Nathan as our Wedding dj! He was very easy to work with and SUPER responsive. We got a package deal which included music, uplighting, dance floor lighting, and this really cool photobooth which allowed guests to take home their own photos after the event. Check him out if you are looking for a dj
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2024

Thank you so much! What a fun night!
Nathan was amazing! His services were great and everyone enjoyed the music he played. Super easy to work with and helped create a great flow for the evening! Highly recommend!

Danielle I have nothing but good things to say, everyone was great and had a good time, it was all in all a perfect day and I really enjoyed entertaining your guests. What a sunset too over the Ashley River.
Nathan was easy to speak with, budget friendly, and quick to respond to emails. We were disappointed by the playlist the night of our wedding. Unfortunately, most of the songs we listed were not played and replaced by his preset wedding playlist.
Response from the Vendor on 05/14/2022
It was a pleasure to work with you on your special day! It's important to me to stay within bride and grooms budgets, and I also offer quick and professional communication with couples that I work with. I look forward to helping you with any ...
DJ needs in the future. Congratulations on your marriage! I'm glad we could keep the dance floor full all night and everyone had great things to say, it truly was a beautiful day.
Nathan was an amazing DJ for our wedding!! We're very glad we ended up hiring him.
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Thanks Carrissa, it was great to meet you and to be part of such a beautiful day. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the music, dance floor lighting, and uplighting that I brought along. Keep in touch.
Nathan did a fantastic job as our wedding DJ! He was on time and had a great set up (especially with a crowd favorite fog machine). I'd highly recommend Nathan if you are looking for a DJ.
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
The Fog Machine is always a hit! It really adds that extra element to the dance floor late at night. This was a great event and an even better couple to work with, cheers!
Nathan was an awesome DJ for the reception. It was a great party. He was organized before the event and understood what we were looking to be played and when. He was very easy to work with both before and during the event. I would use Nathan's DJ Service again.
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Thanks John for the 5 star review, I strive to provide excellent service for every single couple that I work with, and I'm happy to see that you would use me again for a future event. You know where to find me!
We really enjoyed hiring Nathan for our event! He was friendly and got along great with all of the guests, and spent some time on the microphone keeping everything in order for us. We didn't have a planner, so it was nice using the Info Sheet that was provided. The free lighting was a bonus! He was able to stay a bit later for us as some people didn't want to stop dancing
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Hi Simeon, it's always important to me to make announcements on the microphone to keep things running smoothly. And you are correct, when you hire me, you don't need a wedding planner! I help to keep things in line and move the night along so...
that everyone can enjoy a seamless event
Thanks for working with us on the event last minute! We had an end of year party and were in a bit of a bind trying to find someone that had lighting and music AND could run the event with our announcements, Nathan was willing to be flexible with our NUMEROUS requests (lol) and he did not skip a beat. He handled song requests later in the evening on the spot, and was on time and professional.
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Thanks for bringing me on board Kelly, I really enjoyed being a big part of your event
Nathan was really great, we would give his name to anyone looking for a DJ, thanks for coming out and keeping us on track with the songs and flow of the event. The vendors all gave great feedback, we will be reaching out again soon for next year A+++
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Thanks for the 5 star review Alyssa, I appreciate you and we had such a beautiful day, I'll never forget it. See you around!
I wish I could give 10 stars! Nathan gave us the party we wanted, and was very affordable. We had a lot of crazy requests, and Nathan handled them with ease. Good music selection, karaoke, fog machine, and lighting was great. I will be hiring him again for events in the Future, Recommended A++++
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Hi Nancy, Thank you for the good review, and I'm glad we could keep all guests happy and I'm glad you enjoyed the music selection as well. This was a busy event and we got through it together with great success!
Had an awesome time, we were looking for a DJ that was affordable and he really helped us every step of the way to make sure our wedding was memorable and within our budget. Would recommend for any event, kept the guests happy and even played song requests on the spot. The lights were really cool. Thanks again
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
I try very hard to keep things in your budget! I'm a one man show, so I can negotiate if needed on pricing. Thanks Thomas for the 5 star review and I hope to see you around town
Nathan's DJ Service has performed at our holiday parties year over year, and we love having him come out. He brings all the lighting, music, microphones, you name it, he brought it! He arrived early for our last event and did a meet and greet for people just arriving, which was awesome, and he handled most of our announcements. We look forward to having him again later this year!
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Thanks Tomika, glad to be party of the annual holiday party again. See you next year!
We booked Nathan through TheKnot and are very happy we found him! Nathan went above and beyond to make our day special! I really appreciated the quick replies to my emails and texts, and his professionalism. The price wasn't too bad compared to other quotes we received, and he made sure everyone had a blast, the kids really enjoyed the light show
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Thank you Amanda for the 5 star review, I'm finally getting around to responding and was very happy to read these and happy that you enjoyed your big day!
We hired Nathan's DJ Service for our corporate event at the Francis Marion Hotel on 08/10/2019. We needed PA setup and audio for our powerpoint slides, and Nathan brought everything we needed! He met with the A/V guys at the hotel before the event to make sure everything would work, and was early to the event and played music as people were arriving. We couldn't have asked for more. We even had a dance party after the event and everyone wants to have him back next year.
We were married on December 14th, 2019 at the Charleston Yacht Club, and we hired Nathan's DJ Service to perform at our wedding. We had a rowdy group of about 100+ people and Nathan had no problem making sure everyone had a great time at the wedding. He played music for everyone while we were away getting photos, and even did a grand introduction into the reception hall when we returned. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, thanks Nathan for making our day special. Super easy to work with and Professional.
Best in class service and we all had a blast! Nathan had the dance floor full all night and everything ran smoothly. Thanks again Nathan for working with us in our tight budget, and for being flexible with the last minute changes. I'll recommend to our friends
Nathan's DJ Service is exactly what we needed. We got married on Folly Beach, and needed music on the beach and in the house for the reception. Nathan brought everything that was needed and didn't hesitate to help in moving chairs and making sure the guests were happy. The kids really liked his lighting and he took song requests throughout the day. All in all a beautiful wedding and great music thanks again. With the Pandemic we were happy to be able to still have our wedding outdoors
Response from the Vendor on 05/18/2022
Thanks Ryan! I was a pleasure and I really enjoyed the wedding as well! You got a great group of friends and family around you!
DJ Nathan had great response time, fair prices, professional appearance and stellar performance. We were thrilled to discover a wonderful DJ and he helped make our day very special. Highly recommended!
