Jose was professional and his prices were competitive. I was looking for a basic DJ and MC but he was way more than I expected. He had an awesome light show that he offered...lets just say my husband was drooling after that presentation and I had no choice but to say ok. We put the deposit down right away!!! We met a few days before the wedding to finalize the list of music and of course I was overprepared with 5 pages of music haha. But it was so comforting to know that he was familiar with a majority of the music. We were very worried that we wouldnt be able to find a DJ that could properly mix American, Carribbean and Spanish music. They did that and more. My wedding has been over 2 months ago and I still get calls about the DJ. They truly made the wedding and set the tone. The floor was literally jumping towards the end of the night!!! If only I could go back to that day!!! Jose even helped with non-DJ responsibilities...even just asking how everything was going!! Elegancia was magnificent and I will be calling for any major event that I have...You should too!!

I'll just put it out there - Elegancia Entertainment was a mixed-bag for us. Our collaboration with…read morethem started out well, but by the time our wedding was over, we were... underwhelmed. We met with them on a recommendation from my cousin.They did a great job at for him, and at the party I saw them DJ late last year. We met with the owner, Jose, and were impressed enough to book without seeing any other DJs. He innately has the elegance for which his company strives. He's a well organized, intelligent professional. We were sold on him, and his self-made photo booth. Things went a bit wonky months later when we later met the Emcee/DJ he assigned to us. You see, we had asked if he would be our Emcee, or emcee and DJ both. He said he could emcee, but there would be someone else DJing. We never confirmed with him that he was emceeing, and who we got was one of his contractors. After meeting this contractor, we saw he wasn't a great fit, but I knew I could pull together and supply enough music and provide all the cues he'd need. So we rolled with it. Our mistake. Another issue was that we thought we were hiring a 2-man team, but were told they need an extra hand, a lighting assistant. That's an extra vendor meal and extra tip, and we found out a month before the wedding. On the wedding day he missed the bride's entrance cue. I had listed out (and supplied) four different pieces of music, one each for the parents, the groomsmen, the bridesmaids and the bride. He didn't switch to the bridesmaid music when they walked out, so he thought their music was the bride's music. She wouldn't come out until our Maitre 'D rushed over to tell him to switch the music. As to the reception, things went well until the dancing started. He started our first (choreographed) dance without a cue - we rushed to be in position to start. The music during the reception was tepid - the consensus amongst the guests was that his set skewed older. He didn't read the crowd very well, and didn't really get what I was trying to convey during our meeting. There were a couple of other small matters, but the gist is that this guy didn't listen well - he suggested and defaulted to the things he had done before. He wasn't a good match for us, whereas we feel Jose would have been. Bottom line is this: We might recommend Elegancia in the future, but with these caveats. 1. Try to get Jose to emcee, or truly vet his contractors for fit. 2. Be sure to voice your concerns as soon as you have them. 3. Be very specific about your needs and wants. Maybe even micro-manage the music flow.

I was nervous at first because they didn't have any reviews yet but Bladimir and Denise told me they were doing event management on the side for a few years and they did so well that they needed to register with the state! They brought a bouncy house, face painters, DJ, MC, Photobooth and a private chef to BBQ my sons 4th birthday. I can assure it's a day that he will never forget!

But Daniel, see Daniel takes pride in creating a vision. His goal is not to meet but to exceed your expectations. At least this is how I perceived him. Based on my experience with Daniel I can say with confidence He aims for that WOW factor and that's what sets him apart from the rest. There are plenty of party venues out there these days but none give you everything you want on the same tab. Daniel Perez steps up and shows out! And I mean that with the utmost respect. My experience with him was superb, even when I was pushy or doubtful Daniel remained patient, and continued to assure me that I could/should trust him, even though I didn't want to I had no choice to. The day of my sons first birthday party I was overwhelmed with what I saw... I think I almost cried! I wanted a very authentic and detailed Yo Gabba Gabba themed birthday party. My requests were met and then some. Daniel literally turned the Ridgewood Room into Gabba Land and an exclusive DJ lance appeared to entertain the kids. My sons first birthday was spectacular my guests as well as myself were in awe with how well everything turned out and til this day people STILL remind me of what a great party that day was. That party was in 2013 so this review is long overdue, I have returned to Daniel Perez for a second 1st bday party for my new baby girl who is turning one in May and I am excited to see how Mr Daniel Perez will execute my vision this time around. This review is based on another party Perez events hosted. and Just when I thought it couldn't get any better Danny and his staff blow me away once again. My daughters first birthday party was nothing short of breathtaking!!!! It literally brought me to tears. No seriously, I walked in and my stomach was filled with butterflies I was so happy, no no I was so OVERJOYED that I cried and I immediately called Danny on the spot to thank him. I remember my words were "I am going to slap you" he of course jumped to defense and I stopped him and I said "you literally have me crying right now I am SO HAPPY thank you So much Danny I LOVE IT"... Danny and his team delivered beyond my expectations!! I wanted a Parisian Garden themed party and I got a notch up. It was a Royal Parisian Garden. The stage emulated royalty fit for a princess. YES! My princess indeed! He even had Parisian music playing while my guests entered. It was perfectly executed and I loved every single detail. Daniel and his team have a passion for what they do and it gleams through their deliverance every time. Here are a few photos of my daughters Royal Parisian Garden 1st birthday party but truth be told the photos do not fully represent what it looked like in person.

For those that are beginning the wedding planning process, having the best vendors that are effortless to work with make all the difference!!! We spoke to about 6 or 7 lighting vendors and narrowed it down to NYC Wedding Lighting. Benji answered all of my questions, from walking through the pricing to really trying to understand what atmosphere me and my spouse were seeking. What I really loved about Benji and his team is that they give you ideas on what is possible, while my wife and I wanted to a simple, but classy look, we really appreciate the ideas that Benji brought to the table. As you know, Benji has done events for Fashion Week - so you can 100% trust his ability to execute!!! On the day of my wedding (best day of my life), Benji surprised us with several extra lighting elements that we didn't even anticipate having. He really went above and beyond and really treated our wedding as if it was his own. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, his lighting really sets the mood for the evening and I am so grateful that he made not only the day of so wonderful, but the whole process was so effortless! You can 100% trust Benji and his team to deliver. I would stop your search for a Lighting Vendor now and just go with Benji!!!

I also received the gobo lighting carve-out as a souvenir which is actually quite delicate!

I swear he must've been waiting at the door and rang the bell as the clock turned. He was very professional and courteous. He asked many good questions to get to know more about us, our likes and dislikes. He even provided us with a timeline, like a wedding planner! His rates were reasonable. We met with him again prior to the event to sample music and confirm our selections. He was very easy to get along with and made us feel confident. We were a little worried since the guests on my husbands side were very different from my side. On my side, we have Puertoricans, Dominicans and South Americans mostly. On my husbands side, Irish, Italian, Jewish. We wanted to include everyone and encourage as much dancing as possible. This was quite a delicate balance but Enrique managed to pull it off. His side of the family was on the dance floor as much as mine, even his mother and grandma had the time of their lives. People are still talking about it. They've never danced so much in their lives. Awesome music!

A month before the wedding, we had a meeting with her and the restaurant owner for a tasting and to discuss the setup details. We were so happy she was there because she helped me understand the table setup logistics and she helped us choose the food we had served. Since I was on a budget, I purchased all of the decorations and set up the sample guest tables and welcome table on my dining room table at home, took pictures, and emailed them to her the week before the wedding. The morning of the reception, she arrived at the restaurant, received my decorations and floral arrangements from the messenger service and styled the room to perfection! It was amazing how calm I felt that morning because I knew Ara had the decorating covered. Ara is extremely talented, professional, and warm. She was there to greet me when I arrived at the restaurant and even put the boutonniere on my husband's suit jacket. She is definitely a great person to work with and I recommend her to anyone that needs any kind of event styling. She offers different event styling packages to suit different budgets. My wedding was a success thanks to Ara! Can't wait to work with her again!! Maybe for my anniversary party!
