DJ Ello was absolutely amazing at my granddaughter’s Sweet 16! He had all 40 sixteen-year-olds up and dancing all night long, and even Grandma loved the music! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He made the night so much fun and truly helped make her Sweet 16 unforgettable. Highly recommend DJ Ello!

Best DJ I have seen at a party in a long time. Both the DJ and the MC were amazing and got everyone on the dance floor. Joe was a pleasure to work with prior to the party, helping me get everything organized. I seriously wish I had another party coming up so I could use them again. I highly recommend!!

Joe has been fantastic to work with, and has been an angel sent from above for my wedding. He's thorough, running through my entire wedding timeline, asking poignant questions, making sure that he'll make your day special. I told him this before, but there's something nostalgic about him that feels like home. Maybe…

He created such a fantastic vibe, and the high-tech lighting took the whole party to another level! What really stood out was how much he cared about making it a great experience. Even at the end of the night, we never felt rushed—he gave us the time to enjoy every last moment. We couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to work a crowd and make your party unforgettable, I cannot recommend him enough!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Ello Entertainment and their incredible team — Joe (DJ), Eddie (MC), and Henry (Saxophonist)! They were absolutely phenomenal at our wedding on 8.22.26. From the very beginning, they understood exactly the energy and atmosphere we wanted and completely brought it to life. The energy they brought all night was SO much fun and exactly what we dreamed of. The lighting enhancements in the room also made such a huge difference and really elevated the entire atmosphere. The ceremony music was beautiful, and Joe did an amazing job creating our reception playlist based on all the songs and playlists I gave him. He truly listened to everything I wanted and somehow made it even better. Our guests were never sitting down — they were on the dance floor all night! The music, MCing, saxophone, and overall energy made the night unforgettable. It was truly everything we ever could have dreamed of for our wedding. If you are planning a wedding, party, or any event, we HIGHLY recommend Ello Entertainment. They are the complete package and absolutely worth it! 10/10 — we would choose them again in a heartbeat!

Joe has been fantastic to work with, and has been an angel sent from above for my wedding. He's thorough, running through my entire wedding timeline, asking poignant questions, making sure that he'll make your day special. I told him this before, but there's something nostalgic about him that feels like home. Maybe it's because we're both Millennials! I also appreciate him being able to work within my budget. I'd recommend him to anybody and everybody! He's such an amazing DJ!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding DJ! We were originally introduced to Ello Entertainment during our friend’s wedding last summer and were so impressed by the energy the team brought that we knew we had to book them for our upcoming wedding celebration. From the very beginning, Joseph was incredibly communicative and open to feedback, taking the time to have multiple calls with us to understand exactly what we were looking for in music styles, structure of our event and vibes we wanted to create throughout the night. During the celebration itself, the entertainment team read the room perfectly and built an atmosphere that couldn’t keep people away from the dance floor. The team kept energy high, involved the crowd in all the right ways, and made the entire evening flow seamlessly. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows how to get the party going while also seamlessly transitioning in and out of moments of formalities while making the entire planning process easy and enjoyable, we can’t recommend highly enough!

Ello Entertainment provided DJ and photography services at my graduation party and I couldn’t recommend them more! Joe was consistently friendly and inquisitive when it came to planning party songs; you can tell that he really cares about fulfilling his clients’ vision. Through his announcements, he kept everything running on schedule and created an environment for the guests to have a really fun time. He also did a great job of reading the room and what types of music people wanted throughout the night, and put together some really fun song transitions / mixing. Our photographer, Anthony, made an effort to take all different types of pictures, from shots of me posed with friends and family, to everyone jumping around on the dance floor. Anthony delivered the final images back to us in a timely manner, but more importantly, captured some great pictures I’ll cherish always. Both Joe and Anthony were extremely friendly and encouraging, and put together a wonderful night I’ll never forget- I couldn’t recommend working with them more!

We cannot speak more highly about our experience with Joe and his whole entire team! First let me say Joe truly has a gift, he is so talented and an amazing human being. He met with us prior to our wedding and spent so much time and energy to make things perfect for us. He is so passionate about what he does and it shows on your big day! He is also family oriented which makes him great with making sure your whole family has a good time! Our MC Mo was absolutely amazing! He had the crowd going! There wasn’t a single person that was not on the dance floor! We received so many compliments about the music and Joes team after our wedding! His videographer Ryan is so awesome along with his photographers they were so fun! I can’t wait to see the pictures a videos. He also has so many other adds on you can add to your package which makes it so easy to book everything through one company!
