TESTIMONIALS
WEDDINGS
“Thank you… for being in our lives and being part of our special day. Thanks for all you did to make our wedding so beautiful. You were the best! The music was fantastic and the way you helped pull everything together… from the initial planning until the last dance of our wedding day was wonderful.”

“Elon was absolutely amazing. Everything about him was very professional and my husband and I felt at ease from the very beginning. I had numerous phone calls with him prior to the wedding to discuss the playlist and order of events for our reception. When we got to the hotel during the cocktail hour, DJ Elon was already set up and allowed my husband and I to practice our first dance on the dance floor before everyone came in. We were both a little nervous but Elon did an excellent job of making us feel relaxed. His song selections were perfect. We were very impressed with his ability to keep just about every single guest (about 140) on the dance floor the entire night. One of the most memorable moments was at the very beginning of the reception; During the Maid of Honor’s speech, she quoted a line from a Jason Mraz song. Elon noticed this and when we sat down for dinner that was the first song he played. My sister, the Maid of Honor, was thrilled to hear it and very impressed that he even noticed. His attention to detail was immaculate. I would definitely recommend DJ Elon to anyone getting married that has not yet selected a DJ.”

“I just wanted to send an email to thank you for such a wonderful job you did at our wedding on Saturday! We really had a blast and you did an amazing job to keep everyone on the dance floor! Even though I couldn’t be on it as much I had liked, every time I looked it was always packed! I have gotten so many compliments from guest about the music and what an awesome time every one had. Thank you again!”

“Dear Elon, Every time someone asks me about my wedding, I always bring up the fact that we had the best DJ in the business. It was an honor to work with you! You made Brian and I feel extremely comfortable from our first conversations throughout the entire wedding planning process. It was clear to both of us that you were on top of all the details as well as your love for music. Right away I felt as if I was with an old friend as we discussed our wedding ideas. You are a joy to work with! Everyone at the wedding told us how blessed we were to have booked such a experience talent. You made sure that everything ran like clockwork and you kept everyone on the dancefloor. I have and will continue to recommend you to family and friends. :)”

Dear Elon,
Chet and I just wanted to send a quick note to say how EXTRAORDINARY you were at the wedding. After all our conversations, I had no doubt that you would play a part in making our day extra-special, but you exceeded expectations. It felt like every song that came on I screamed, “I love this song!” It was the perfect music for the setting and group of people- you were not lying when you said you could read a crowd.
When I sent you the list of music I meant to ask for Jason Mraz’s “I won’t give up” as the the last dance song but completely forgot. I was stunned…literally…when I realized that it was the song you chose for us!
You had people out, dancing, and having fun which is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you a million times over for the part you played in making our day so perfect.
Love,
Devon and Chet Ripley (Bride & Groom)

“Dear Elon, Thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day. It was everything we’d hoped for. You played a big part in ensuring everything went smoothly. From the prelude before the ceremony until the last dance at the end of the evening, you managed to orchestrate it all flawlessly. We really appreciate the time you spent with us in the months leading up to our wedding. Your taking the extra time to learn what our vision was for the ceremony and reception meant a lot to us. n addition, you always responded promptly to our emails and numerous phone calls whenever we had questions or needed to make changes to the wedding details. Everything went as planned thanks to the time you spent working with us before the event. It was a pleasure working with you!!”

Dear Elon, Sally and I want to thank you for the fabulous DJ job you did for Lindsay and Doug’s wedding. Your great personality and professionalism helped make the evening a wonderful success. When we first met you several months ago, we immediately realized that you understood the type of party we wanted to have and the atmosphere that would help us create our vision. You mentioned that you could “get them up and keep them up.” That you did!! You picked the right songs for the right moments and everyone had a great time dancing. It was amazing how you took control of the party from the beginning and orchestrated the entire wedding celebration from the speeches to the cutting of the cake to the “last dance.” My personal highlight of the evening was when you got everyone celebrating and dancing to “Hava Nagila”… “let us rejoice” with all the family up on chairs. Most of the people doing the celebrating were not Jewish and had never heard of the traditional song and dance……but they loved it. If we ever have another big celebration, we would be honored if you were to participate. Please feel free to give our names as a reference at any time. Thanks again.

Dear Elon, I wanted to take a minute to thank you for the wonderful job you did for Mike and Tara’s wedding. We had a rough start with the ceremony and you saved the day with your expert assistance getting the PA system working for the last-minute stand-in minister. In spite of some bumps in the road during the ceremony, your professionalism handling the reception was great! From the people on the dance floor having a great time to the look in my son’s eyes as he danced with Missy, it was clear that you helped turn their wedding into everything they dreamed of. You were gracious, accommodating and went way beyond the call of duty; I will always be grateful for this. I hope to have the opportunity to use your services again.

Hi Elon, I am trying to catch up with all my thank-yous, so sorry for the delay. Marc said you were the best, and he was right. I have never attended any function with a better DJ / Emcee, ever. Many guests commented on how great you were, and my 82 year old aunt even noticed you didn’t take a break! Everyone was out on the floor dancing and having a great time. Everyone danced! I have the pictures to prove it. People danced until they were ready to drop. The little kids were mad they had to go home before midnight, and the 20-30 year old crowd loved your style right to the end. Cathy and Matt were delighted with your attention to them as well. There is no question in my mind that having YOU for our daughter’s wedding was waaaaaay better than any band. I do not know what else to say except thank you. If anyone needs a recommendation from me, please let me know. I would be happy to provide it. Simply put… you are a total pro, and my (long) day was much easier with your help. Thanks again!

I am so delighted that we had DJ Al to handle our wedding reception. Knowing that he probably was accustomed to doing much bigger functions, I really wanted something smaller and intimate without losing the “big party” fun! We had about seventy people in our home for the reception and many of the guests danced the entire time. Everything was great… from the first dance to my special dance with my father. Al was able to adapt flawlessy to this somewhat unconventional environment; in doing so, he make our special day extra special. Thank you Al!

We could never thank you enough for the outstanding job you did at our wedding. The dance floor was packed with people the entire night. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. It meant a great deal to us that you took the time to learn the song, “The Giftâ€, to perform for us. You sang it beautifully and it added a very special touch to our first dance. We will be sure to recommend you to all our friends and family. You are amazing!!!

As I’m sure most brides say, “My wedding was the best day of my life.” You played a huge part in it. We couldn’t have been more pleased with how well you ran the reception; we honestly didn’t have to think about anything because from beginning to end you were completely on top of everything. Thank you. It felt great to know that you cared enough about “our day” to help make our first dance perfect. (We worked very hard on the first dance 🙂 Now that we’ve returned from our honeymoon, we’re been receiving much praise from our family and friends about how much fun our wedding reception was. This was mainly because you’re a master of your profession. Every song seemed to fit perfectly and was played at just the right time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sincerely,
Janell B. (Bride)

Dear Elon, What a wonderful celebration! You orchestrated a fun-filled delightful evening flawlessly. The music and energy were palpable. We could not be more pleased. What better way for Katie and Tom to start their new life together. Thank you for making their special day so memorable. Gratefully,

Hi Elon, We just wanted to thank you for the fabulous job you did and the fabulous music you played during our wedding reception. With more than 450 guests who came from all over the world it was a challenge to keep everyone dancing through the night but you did it! We enjoyed how wonderfully you incorporated Bhangra with so many different genres of music. Only yesterday one of my uncles said he had never heard such a great mix of music at a wedding! Our favorite part of the wedding was how you got down on the dance floor towards the end of the night and had a blast with us. Please look us up when you’re ever in San Francisco. Warmest Regards,

“Dear Elon, All I can tell you is, EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE had an absolutely amazing time – because of you and your SiZZLE dancers. My younger son had a meltdown at the end of the night because the adults took over the dance floor, but he said earlier that night and again yesterday he wants YOU as his DJ (so you better stay in business for four more years 🙂 ). You and your team were absolutely phenomenal. As I originally said, I had to drop 20 people from my list to afford you, and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY. YOU made the party!!! Thank you!!!!”

Oh Elon, How do I even begin to tell you how grateful we are for ALL that you and the guys brought to Alayna’s Big Day! I am still floating from the pure magic of the night. As you well know, we were looking for a pretty low key situation with our DJ. Alayna really didn’t want that showy type of party, where the DJ and the dancers take over. As well, we wanted to give the kids dance time on their own while we ate and then integrate all into the party. I kept repeating my requests and you kept trying to convince me that you heard me and you were on top of it. Trust me, you said. Were you ever right! From the moment the party started till the moment we all took our tired feet home, you were on top of it and I mean all of it. You coordinated with the caterer and the photographer so beautifully that I finally realized my only job was to have fun with Alayna and all of our guests and boy did we! It was like magic the way that you and your guys walked in, got the vibe we were going for and seamlessly created our “low key†wishes. Your music choices were perfect. Your guys knew just how to blend and yet ignited big fun. None of us will ever forget when the guys taught Richard how to “Dougieâ€. We will always recommend you to anyone looking for a great DJ.Thanks so much and we can’t wait to see you at the next event!

Dear Elon, You promised that DJ/MC Gee and the SiZZLE dancers would be great. They were!! In fact, they were perfect! Thank you so much for helping us at the last minute to make my daughter’s Mitzvah celebration such a success. Her Torah reading was flawless, much to the delight of the Rabbis. And thus it was equally as wonderful that her party was flawless too thanks to you and the Double-E team. Thank you!

Dear Elon, Thanks to Gee and the SiZZLE team the party was a great success! After only a few moments it seemed that Reuben and all his friends got into the groove and EVERYONE had a awesome time. Cheers!

We hired DJ Elon & his SiZZLE Dancers for my son’s bar mitzvah party after hearing them at another party. At the end of the night, when I asked my son if his party was everything he had hope for he said, “YES!â€. Elon a.k.a. DJ Double-E and his “crew of dancers†kept 60+ 13 year old kids engaged for 3 ½ hours with music, line dances, games and loads of fun. Even those who didn’t like to dance were engaged in what was happening on the dance floor. Double-E Mobile Music is reasonably priced and an excellent value for your next event. We would definitely hire them again. As an added bonus, Elon even stands in as a substitute party planner giving advice on what works with the crowd, what to buy, where to get it, how to organize the timing of the event. It’s really is a one stop shop. Thanks again for helping to make our son’s Simcha a successful and memorable event.

DJ Elon and his SiZZLE team made the party! They helped to ensure that all our guests felt comfortable—from the kids to older guests and relatives. When everyone from the aunts and uncles to the three-year-old cousins have fun, you know you have the right DJ and dancers. They listened to our needs and requests and made the song selection personal and fun. The kids all had an awesome time!

Dear Elon & SiZZLE Dance, What can I say but, WOW! Stephanie’s Bat Mitzvah was amazing. Everyone had a great time. The party started out with mostly kids dancing, but by the end of the night everyone was out on the dance floor having a great time. I was a bit skeptical about having SiZZLE at the party, but with your encouragement, I decided to go with it. SiZZLE Dance made a huge difference. There is no question, they made the party more fun and exciting. Stephanie felt extra special and her friends raved to her about how great the party was. Having the pre meeting before the Bat Mitzvah really helped Stephanie feel so comfortable with the music that you were planning on playing and also the games and interaction you would incorporate. It also made her feel special that you made up games just for her. Your Bat Mitzvah should be one of the most memorable, amazing experiences in your life. It is a major accomplishment and an experience like no other. You guys made it just that – an amazing, once in a lifetime experience – Thank you!

Dear Elon, I had so much fun at my Bat Mitzavh. SiZZLE Dance made the party great! They Rock!!! Many of my friends were saying that it was the best party they had ever been to. When the party began, not alot of people were dancing but after the first few minutes the dancers got everyone up and onto the dance floor. The lighting was AMAZING and it made the party so much more lively! I also loved the creative ideas that you gave to me and my mom, like the airbrushed t-shirts. I am sooooo glad I picked SiZZLE Dance to be my Bat-Mitzvah entertainment!!!!! You’re the best!!! Sincerely,
Stephanie Chill (Bat-Mitzvah)
Dear Elon, I wanted to take a moment to thank you, DJ Mike and the whole Double-E team for a wonderful evening! You guys were very easy to work with, extremely flexible, polite, courteous, very experienced, talented and excellent at pleasing a very particular and detail oriented client – ME. I had a very specific idea of what I expected from the DJ at my daughter’s simcha and wanted a group that could entertain 50 thirteen year-olds with games, popular music and leadership. I also wanted the audience of adults ranging in age from 45 to 70 to dance and enjoy the event without being overwhelmed with outrageously loud music and quirky dance floor gimmicks. I also had a responsibility to entertain family members with special needs who wanted to be part of the crowd but didn’t want to be singled out. You were the perfect answer to our lovely evening. Here are a few specifics from our event:1. My daughter was delighted when you lead games that she chose, and added some of your own.2. One of our special needs children needed the music turned down and you promptly complied.3. I was frantic when we realized that we were missing the script for our candle lighting ceremony and then you produced a copy- saving that highlight of the party from becoming a flop.4. You single handedly organized the entire night working with the caterer to choose appropriate dinner music and dance time.5. You focused the kids on various events so that everyone complied with the structure of the night and no one got rowdy.6. You brought attention to the scrapbook table in the lobby for our guests to complete and are thrilled that about two thirds of our guests completed a page.7. You played the entire night without skipping a beat and with no dead air between song changes.8. You took requests with a smile and had all of the music that was requested.In addition to paying great attention to the details of the actual event, I am thrilled to say that you showed up on time, had high tech working audio equipment that was appropriate for the location, and brought lights to enhance the atmosphere. You brought the props you promised for the games we requested (and some additional ones that were a big hit). Another critical detail of your superb service is your excellent organization skill. You provided us with a planning worksheet in advance of the simcha. You allowed us to choose the timing of the entire evening (if we wanted), select specific songs, choose games, and so on. You also followed up with us a week before the event, a few days before the event, and the day before the event to confirm any last minute changes or requests that we wanted. In summary, before our simcha I knew that I didn’t need to worry about the music or organization of our party. I was correct. We left the music planning and flow of the evening to you and were greatly convinced that the night went well because of your attention to detail and experience. Pleased offer any of your future clients my name and number so that I can provide you with an excellent reference. Thank you again for being the highlight of our party! Fondly,
Lisa & Brad Stern (Mitzvah Parents)

Elon, You ARE a top notch DJ and entertainer. You effortlessly managed to keep our group of 95 teenagers happily dancing and enjoying themselves for 4 hours… not an easy feat. We thank you so very much and we are certainly going to refer our friends to you for future parties. Sincerely,

Thanks so much for your service last week. You were a fabulous addition to Laura’s Sweet 16 Birthday Party!! In fact, I think you were the party – you were awesome!! Laura had an amazing time dancing and the feed back from the kids who attended was equally enthusiastic. They all thought you were a fantastic DJ!! David and I especially loved how you were able to read the kids and keep them on the dance floor. I don’t think anyone sat down for more than the time it took to either eat or drink something and then they were out on the dance floor again. You really made the party a success. We’ll be keeping you in mind for other events and will be sure to tell everyone how great you were with the kids and us older folks as well! It was nice to have someone so current!! Thanks again, and if we don’t see you before we hope you have a great summer!! Sincerely,

CORPORATE
DJ Elon provided the entertainment for us during a corporate holiday function. He was extremely professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Elon worked with us in advance to ensure that the selections played were appropriate for a corporate event. On the day of the event he kept the party moving blending a mix of music, karaoke and pre planned activities.
Jennifer Williamson,
SENIOR DIRECTOR HUMAN RESOURCES, SODEXHO
Elon is one of the best, if not the best, Deejays I’ve ever worked with. He enthusiastic and personable, extremely versitile, organized and very easy to work with. He also seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to reading the crowd as he know exactly what to play at just the right time. Elon is wonderful when it comes to facilitating games for kids AND adults and always knows how to break the ice at any gathering. Whether it’s a corporate picnic or elegant holiday party, Elon is the perfect choice for your music entertainment. I won’t work with anyone else!

During our recent Sock Hop Gala, with over 500 guest, Elon did a superior job mathcing the music to our theme. Choosing appropriate background and dance music, Elon kept the party “hopping” with energy, and essentially set the tone from beginning to end. He managed to capture our intent with quality-enthusiam and simply carried the evening. He’s the best and I would recommend him to anyone planning an event.

Our firm has been using the services of DJ Elon for many many years. In fact, he’s been with us for so long performing at our many holdiay parites and attorney dinner get togethers, it’s like he’s a member of our little Stein Sperling family. He has always managed to make our events more fun and enjoyable and has always been reliable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for professional music entertainment for their company event.

PRIVATE PARTIES
On February 22nd, 2014, I was turning 50 and wanted to celebrate, and a friend of mine recommended that I use DJ/KJ Elon for the entertainment. She said he will make the party and get everyone dancing. I called and set everything up and it was the best decision I could have made. It was clear to see that Elon had years of experience at creating the right atmosphere and reading a crowd. We held the party at Mt. Vernon Country Club in Alexandria. There were about 100 guests and we rocked the house for hours. Elon knew the right music to play at the right time. His lively personality and energy gave the party it’s “spark.” I was amazed at his extensive selection of karaoke songs too. We had my 16 year old daughter along with a bunch of her friends and he was able to please them as well as everyone else. How often can you say that? If you want to have a GREAT party, make arrangements to have DJ Elon as your entertainment.. We had a BLAST!!!!! Now if my mind holds out, it will be one of my most favorite and fun memories.

I just wanted to thank you, once again, for another successful annual Community Pool Party! As always, you were so accommodating and gracious as there were many changes in our scheduling this year. If only the weather were more like you. 🙂 It’s a pleasure to work with you as you consistently bring your unique energy and enthusiasm to our parties. I’m always amazed that with such a diverse crowd as we have, you manage to select just the right blend of music and interaction to please everyone! Both the kids and adults had a terrific time dancing and playing games as well. You always, without a doubt, provide us with the best DJs. I understand that many of our quests have booked DJs for their own private parties as well. I’ll be in touch. Warmest regards,
