I booked DJ Unkle Eli for my daughter's Sweet 16. He asked me if she had a list of songs she would love to hear and allowed me to share her playlist with him and gave me the option for "clean-teen friendly" version. The kids had a great time and the adults did too!!!!! 10/10 will book again!
DJ Unkle Eli did his thing at my 40th birthday party! The energy was right, the music had everyone moving, and the vibe stayed lit throughout the night. He was professional, easy to work with, and knew how to read the room to keep the party going. We had a great time celebrating my big milestone, and it was definitely a night to remember. I'd absolutely recommend him for birthdays and special events.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Our DJ was phenomenal. From start to finish, he kept the energy high and the vibes unmatched. The dance floor was packed all night long — literally nobody wanted to sit down! His music selection was on point, with a perfect mix of genres and eras that had every guest dancing, from start to finish. He read the crowd perfectly, transitioned songs seamlessly, and truly created the best atmosphere for our wedding celebration. Everyone kept saying how amazing the music was. Thank you for bringing the party to life and making our night unforgettable! Highly recommend to any couple who wants a DJ that knows how to set the tone and keep it going all night long!
He is an excellent DJ that pays attention to detail and sequences for the audience.
