Elation Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (36 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,799
  • Serves Middletown, CT

Elation is defined as extreme, exhilarating joy, and the emotion of great happiness. I chose the name to reflect the high level of service provided and the satisfaction our clients experience. Music has been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the last 20 years, I've performed at hundreds of weddings and private celebrations, held residencies at local bars and clubs, and livestreamed mixshows online. Every one of those experiences shapes how I show up for your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From our first conversation with Elation Entertainment, John was responsive and easy to work with, which made the planning process stress-free. He showed real attention to detail when we asked him to cut our first dance songs to fit our timeline, and he nailed the transitions throughout the night. During the reception, John struck the perfect balance between keeping things formal for introductions and toasts, then switching gears once the dancing started to keep the energy high and our guests on the dance floor. His mixing was seamless and he had an instinct for reading the room, playing exactly what people wanted to hear. We were impressed by how professional yet fun he was the entire evening. We highly recommend John and Elation Entertainment for any couple looking for a DJ who actually cares about making their day special.”

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Middletown, CT
  • Offer

After 14 plus years DJing weddings across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, I know the fear is not just bad music. It is awkward MC moments, dead air, generic playlists, and a dance floor that never connects. My style combines real wedding experience with NYC nightlife instincts: live mixing, clean announcements, calm planning, and room reading that keeps every generation included without making the night feel forced.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Finding a DJ and putting your trust in them can be stressful because you truly don’t know what to expect until the day of, but DJ Dan absolutely exceeded our expectations! Dan is not your typical wedding DJ who plays the same cheesy, cliché wedding songs. He understood our vibe and kept everyone dancing the entire night. We had so many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and how much fun they had. Dan was so great to work with. He was organized, always kept in touch, and truly cares about making your day perfect. He puts a lot of time and effort into preparing beforehand, and it really shows. We are so grateful we chose him!”

“We worked with Paul for our January wedding. Originally, I was going to just create a playlist (I was having little to no formalities) until I saw he commented on a Connecticut Bride Facebook Group. Figured a DJ will give me one less thing to worry about, so I inquired and he immediately responded, provided a quick quote, and we set up our first meeting. He just made everything so easy! We had two one-hour long meetings to clearly identify our vision. My father passed a few years ago and we did many things to honor him at the party- signature cocktail, my sister spoke about him in her speech, his two best friends gave a combined toast on his behalf, but what made me really feel my dad was celebrated and “there in spirit” was when Paul intentionally played my dad’s favorite song prior to the first speech. It almost felt like that was my dad’s speech/toast to us. Family and friends picked up on Paul’s placement of my dad’s favorite song and commented that they were moved by it too. It was the only point of the night I got emotional. Paul really cares about his work and the people he works with. I’ve been to a handful of weddings where DJs play the couple’s Do Not playlist and just treats every wedding the same. I seriously can’t recommend Paul more.”

“The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!”

We take the time to understand each couple, their vision, and their guests, then read the room to keep the energy flowing naturally.

“First of all, they were the first vendors we booked and can see why they come so highly recommended!!Jeremy was excellent in coordinating all things leading up to the wedding including the wedding day timeline, and he set us up with the absolute best group of people for our wedding day. The day of we had Nick as our DJ and Mike as our MC, they checked in with us a few days before to see if we had any questions or concerns and were so attentive throughout our entire wedding. They brought so much heart, energy, and fun to our day and I seriously can’t imagine having our wedding without them. People are still talking about the amazing music selection, the dancing, the crowd surfing, and the fact that they were the best DJs they’ve ever seen at a wedding. At one point, the smoke detectors went off due to someone smoking in the bathroom, causing the entire wedding to evacuate outside. As you could imagine this situation would normally be stressful, or cause low morale when entering back in after 15-20 mins of being outside waiting for the fire department, but I can’t emphasize enough how Mike and Nick absolutely KILLED it and immediately brought back the energy and dancing as if nothing happened. They played “we didn’t start the fire” and I swear I’m still smiling about how iconic that was. I can’t recommend this group enough, ESPECIALLY Mike and Nick. Thank you for making our night absolutely epic and unforgettable!”

“DJ Ore Santana was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, his communication was top-notch - he was always quick to respond to my countless questions and ideas, and was so kind and patient throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, he truly listened to what we wanted and was able to create the perfect vibe all night long. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and he seamlessly went with the flow of the evening, pivoting when necessary to keep the energy high. Our wedding night was absolutely perfect, and we have DJ Ore Santana to thank for that. We cannot recommend him highly enough!”

“We knew Cover Story was the perfect choice for our wedding from our very first call with Chris. Chris and Elena made the entire planning process clear and easy from start to finish. They brought their expertise and guidance exactly when we needed it, while still giving us plenty of room for creative input. The whole collaboration felt natural and seamless. They made us feel totally safe asking all of our questions and took care of everything, working with our venue effortlessly. The performers on the day were phenomenal, and our guests are still talking about it! Their talent was incredible, and they were kind, fun, and professional to work with. Our ceremony guitarist learned our entrance songs and performed them beautifully. Our special dances were played from mp3 and were timed perfectly. Even though we honestly didn't give them much direction for timing, they just nailed it! And then the party! Our family and friends love to dance, and the band kept the energy high all night long. They even learned a couple of extra songs for us that sounded amazing. Their talent is honestly unreal. They definitely were supposed to take more breaks than they did, but they just kept playing, and even gave us an encore. After the wedding, we got to chat with some of the band members, and they were all so kind and genuinely cool people. The entertainment really shapes the overall atmosphere of a wedding, and because of Cover Story, our wedding day was perfect. We'd recommend Cover Story for any event, hands down!”

“One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing vendors who are great people with passion, care, and great energy. DJ Kevin is all of the above - the vibes were immaculate. My husband is a musician so music was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for him and DJ Kevin met his high standards. Leading up to the wedding, Kevin was informative, communicative, and has the type of personality that helps melt the stress away (and I couldn't have appreciated that more in the last week before the wedding!). He was also adaptable without judgement which is sometimes in short supply in the wedding industry but goes a long, long way in my book. For the wedding, we created playlists for the different sections of the wedding, and Kevin knew just how to make our vision come to life --playing the right songs at just the right time and helping the wedding flow seamlessly. He also helped curate the perfect mood for dancing with his light design, and his new Photo Booth add on gave our guests an endless source of enjoyment when they needed to catch their breath off the dance floor. (And even more enjoyment for us when we got to see all the pictures and gifs people took after the wedding!). And if all that wasn't enough already, he even volunteered to take pictures during our sparkler exit and captured one of my favorite pictures of the whole day! If I ever needed to plan a big event again in the future, the choice for DJ is already made.”
