Elegancia Entertainment, Inc.

Learned about Elegancia from a few friends who had hired them for their own weddings and was told that they were excellent. The DJ I met with was honestly a nice and professional guy. So I happily and confidently booked with them. I had even attended a friend’s wedding in Long Island and was pleased with the selection of music and skill of getting a party going while maintaining elegance and formality. For our wedding they did do some things correctly. 1) They edited our introduction music perfectly to fit the timing of our bridal party entrance. 2) They chose great music to get the party going. And 3) the DJ was never cheesy or chatty which I really, really liked. He kept it simple and elegant but still kept the party going.

However, I regretfully gave them a rating of 2 stars based on a few mishaps but one of them being pretty major. The first mistake was our first dance song. Elegancia has the skill and technical resources to edit music because they did a wonderful job with editing the introduction music, so we were disappointed that they didn’t edit our first dance song. We had asked the DJ to fade out our song at a certain point because our choreographed dance ended with a dip at that point. Unfortunately, after we dipped the song continued rather than fade out. I know for sure our videographer captured my perturbed husband giving the DJ the “cut-the-music” signal with his hand. Hopefully, the videographer will fade that part out.

Second, we are also not sure that they played the one line dance song that we allowed, Todo Todo. My Filipino family is crazy about line dancing like the Electric Slide and the Macarena but we banned them. Instead, we allowed only for Todo Todo as the one acceptable assisted dance song but according to a few of my older guests, it was never played and they were disappointed. This didn’t make sense because we did write this out on their very own music form.

The more MAJOR mistake was the mother-son dance. Weeks prior to the wedding day, we had met with our DJ and gave him a typed up list and CD with our important songs such as cake cutting and mother-son dance songs. When the moment arrived, they announced that the groom will now dance with his mother. However, the DJ did not have the song on his list and after five minutes, he had to walk over to the sweetheart table to ask me what the song was while DH and MIL stood still on the dance floor waiting for the music to come up. I told him it was “In My Life” by the Beatles. After what seemed like another five minutes (eternity for poor DH), the music comes up but it was the wrong Beatles song. It was a very awkward moment for DH and needless to say, he was very upset. I wished they had not announced at all the mother-son dance if they were not prepared because DH and MIL were obviously embarrassed. Afterwards, I looked at the list that we had given him and sure enough, the correct song was listed on the sheet so I cannot explain why he didn’t have the song on the day of.

I will not deny that we still had a great time with music and dancing after the mishaps. Then again, it’s your day as a bride so you shouldn’t let these things bother you. But there are no reasons for these to mishaps which would only add needless stress to your day. Therefore, I do not recommend Elegancia Entertainment.
