We used DLE for our wedding and I cannot say this loud enough--they were unreal. From day one, Daniel was hands-down the best partner to work with. Over the year leading up to the wedding, we had so many conversations with him about everything: timeline, music taste, overall vibe, even specific songs I wanted before and after certain speeches. He never made anything feel like a burden. He listened, he got it, and he even suggested ideas we didn't think of--but ended up loving. And then the actual wedding day... DLE somehow topped our expectations. The energy was insane in the best way. The musicians were literally on the dance floor all night, the vibe was perfect for every age, and I'm not exaggerating when I say every single guest was dancing. People kept asking us who the band was. We also added the sax and guitarist for cocktail hour, and it set the tone for the entire night--cool, elevated, fun, and effortless. Bottom line: DLE made our wedding. If you want a packed dance floor and a team that cares as much as you do, book them. I'd do it again 10/10. read more

Cannot recommend Daniel and his team enough. For months leading up to our day, Daniel poured so much care, intention, thought, effort and understanding into our vision for our wedding day. He is incredibly thoughtful in the process of putting together a curated guide and flow of our entire day. Come wedding day -- we were blown away with the hybrid band (as were all of our guests). The vibes and energy were top notch, Daniel was so attentive to me and my husband making sure it was everything we had wanted, but ultimately, our guests were having the time of their lives. Book DLE Event Group, you will not regret it!!!! read more

My wife and I had to source a DJ for our wedding last minute, so I reached out to Daniel and the DLE team about one week before the event. Daniel quickly set up a call with me and my wife to discuss the event and exactly what we were looking for. The moment I got on the phone with Daniel I felt at ease, and I knew we had made the right choice. Even given the very short notice Daniel was able to source an amazing DJ, integrate our music requests, coordinate timing, make sure the equipment was all set to go, etc. The DJ was amazing, and was super responsible regarding setup/soundcheck--I didn't need to do nor worry about anything besides showing up to my own event. I never once felt stressed or concerned. On top of that, Daniel is extremely responsive (much more so than other companies I looked into), and his pricing is extremely competitive. I would 100% recommend Daniel and DLE to anyone who needs a DJ for their event! read more

Daniel and everyone at DLE Group helped make our wedding the best party ever. Seriously, people were coming up to us saying it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to! The process with DLE Group was painless and organized to the T! Not only do you talk on the phone with them, so they can get a sense of your vision of the day, but you also fill out a whole questionnaire that includes your "must play" songs, your "don't play songs", what genres you do and don't like, etc. We did a string quartet for our cocktail hour and the musicians perfectly nailed the "Bridgerton" vibe I was looking for. We did a hybrid DJ and band for the reception and would a thousand percent recommend. Everyone had a blast dancing with the musicians on the dance floor. The drummer was even nice enough to let our priest played the bongos for a bit, which was hit! I had also made a mashup of some of our favorite quotes from our favorite TV shows to play before our first dance and Daniel worked with me to make sure I had the audio downloaded correctly so it sounded amazing over the speakers. If you're looking for a professional, organized and attentive team, DLE Group are your people! read more

DLE Entertainment was a major highlight of our wedding day. After numerous virtual meetings to discuss the genre and flow of music we were hoping to have for our reception, DJ Daniel really delivered an incredibly fun evening. His biggest talent was the ability to read the room and keep the party going. Our guests raved all night and are still giving us compliments about his performance 2 months later. We feel so lucky to have had him as a vendor and highly recommend him based on his incredible organization, thoroughly detailed planning, fun personality and pure talent in his craft! read more

Daniel and the DLE team are the absolute BEST! Setting the right vibe with music was a top priority for us during our recent wedding reception and the DLE team 100% delivered. Daniel was extremely detailed and helpful in organizing the timeline for the night and ensuring we had all the music we wanted planned for and worked in so naturally throughout the event. From cocktail hour through the end of the night, the team kept our guests entertained and dancing the night away. Our guests were RAVING about all the amazing song choices and how much they loved DJ Laz. Highly recommend combining the DJ with live musicians - they kept the party going the whole night!! read more

DLE without question played a major role in making our wedding amazing. A friend recommended Daniel in the early stages of our planning and after one phone call with him we were sold. The basecamp feature makes the stress of planning simple and fun. Prior to the wedding we had a 2 hour phone call with Daniel where we went over everything on our custom basecamp website. I cannot stress enough how helpful this program was. The day of was exactly what we're hoping. There was not one song played that didn't fit our wedding. The dance floor was never empty and Daniel read the crowd perfectly when it came time to change up the music. When it came time to improvise on some things that weren't part of the original plan Daniel was excellent and accommodating. And to top it all off he came all the way to Montauk for our special day. Absolutely no complaints. DLE was exactly what we wanted in a DJ! read more

If you want me your wedding guests to have an absolute blast and dance the night away, Daniel Linares is your guy! Amazing from start to finish. He and his team are organized, responsive and were incredibly considerate throughout our multiple reschedules due to COVID. The night of the wedding itself was an unforgettable party, Daniel played an awesome mix of songs and many of our guests asks if they could get our playlist! Whether you want to pick out individual songs or want to leave it entirely up to Daniel, he is happy to work with you and fit your style. read more

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding!! Daniel was attentive, professional and responsive. He really took his time to understand our music interests and made the planning process as smooth/organized as possible. Daniel was also super respectful! He took the time to really get to know the pronunciation of Korean names. We truly want to thank Daniel for his time and dedication. He even sang us a song during our wedding reception!! Our guests loved the DJ experience at our wedding and had nothing but praise/compliments to share with us! We would most definitely love to hire DLE again in the future!! read more

DLE has our thanks for streamlining our wedding reception. We didn't hire a wedding planner, so their online Bandcamp planning system became really helpful. There, I was able to upload photos / videos that were shown during the wedding, edit the order of events and order of / type of music played. DLE had all the services we wanted; we booked jazz musicians, a photobooth, and a zapshot photographer, and all of them did not disappoint! We also had requests like having a video montage from our destination ceremony played, a Cantonese MC / translator, and Kermit the Frog to introduce our parents' dance; Daniel and his crew nailed everything. Couldn't be happier! read more

DLE was absolutely amazing! They were great with everything from their website, (zoom) meeting, their attention to detail and most importantly reading the room and keeping the night flowing. Our guest had a blast and we received many compliments for the DJ and MC (Daniel). I could not recommend DLE more - absolutely great! read more

Daniel and his team are phenomenal! I cannot recommend him enough. He was prompt, well organized and most importantly, well spoken. He gave a beautiful opening speech about our love story opening our wedding and informed our guests each step of the way. He played our music exactly as we requested, went with the crowd and threw an amazing party! Our step and repeat was designed perfectly (he has excellent taste). We could go on and on! We can't wait until our next event because we now have our preferred event company!!!!! read more

DLE was the best choice I made for my wedding. From beginning to end, it was first-class service all the way. They were more than accommodating during the entire process, and gave great insight and advice on how to make our wedding a success. My wife and I received compliments on the music all day! Can't recommend DLE and Daniel enough, they really made sure all our needs and expectations were met. The dancefloor was never empty, and we have Daniel and DLE to thank for that. Even a few weeks later, our guests keep saying how it was one of the better weddings they have been to. read more

Wow! Where do I start?! These guys are seriously at the top of their game. If you want a fun, professional, exciting team of people to host your wedding, these guys are a must! My closest friend got married at The Pierre in Midtown. I was in charge of entertainment as I'm a huge music person myself (but talk about pressure!). Luckily, I was recommended to DLE Event Group from a friend who hired them for her wedding in 2015 at The Plaza on Fifth Avenue. When we set up a meeting we met with the founder Daniel Linares. BOY - does he have experience blending cultures & BOY was he charismatic & easy on the eyes ;) Anyways, long story short my friends and I loved him and they decided to book his team on the spot. On the big day we had MC Daniel and DJ Jase. They REALLY knew how to command the room!! Music was right in line with everything that we discussed and beyond! Including - Top 40, Pop, House, Hip-Hop (Old school and New), Oldies, Latin (Salsa, Merengue), and the traditional Jewish traditions were done with class. Yes the couple is mixed, Latin/ Jewish. One of the more important things we were looking for was making sure the talent representing the bride and groom did it with grace and natural ease. Daniel had a very warm and smooth style and definitely was the best I've ever seen!! WAIT FOR IT...He even sang during dinner which was INCREDIBLE!!! Not only did these guys kill it, everyone was raving over what an excellent job we had done in finding the perfect upscale entertainment, I couldn't have been more relieved and happy! All in all everything was positive and all the guests were blown away by the music selection and blending of cultures. Check out the videos on here, they are exactly as fun as they look! Seriously, thank you Daniel, Jase, & the entire team for making the wedding even better than we could ever imagined!! I can't wait to find an opportunity to hire you guys again just to get to relieve the experience all over again! - Your favorite Maid of Honor with all of those last minute requests - Melissa ;) read more

I cannot recommend DLE and Daniel in particular highly enough. Yesterday he DJ'd our wedding. On our introductory call and on our second call to go over the schedule and the music we wanted, Daniel was thoughtful and helpful, listening to our preferences and making suggestions based on his extensive experience. In person at the party, he was professional, pleasant and polite (with a great smile, I might add). The result was a truly fun and joyous affair. The crowd was tiny, under 35 people, but the event felt like a much bigger party because of the musical vibe. Daniel played a great mix of songs and read the room perfectly. Everyone had a wonderful time, even my husband, who hadn't wanted dancing to start with. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Daniel and I almost wish I could have another wedding just to have another party with him. read more

DLE REVIEW I am so happy we chose DLE Entertainment for our wedding! I was immediately impressed with Daniel after our phone consultation. He was very professional and answered all of my questions. Shortly after we booked with DLE, we unexpectedly had to change our wedding venue and date. I reached out to Daniel to let him know and and confirm his availability for potential new dates. Daniel was so accommodating during this stressful time and even recommended some venues for us to look into. Planning everything was very easy with Daniel and his team. He uses a database where you can keep all of the song choices for each entrance and special dance. His website also has a ton of suggestions for special dances and bridal party entrances. We had a meeting with Daniel about two weeks before our wedding to make sure everything was good to go. We enjoy all types of music and wanted to make sure we could incorporate all of the genres we wanted throughout the night. We discussed the best time to play the more non traditional wedding songs we wanted to be played as well as cultural songs for my husband's side of the family. After meeting Daniel in person, we really knew we were in great hands! On our wedding day, Daniel showed up early to set up and quickly went over the timeline with the venue staff to make sure everyone was on the same page. Daniel played our must play songs from our list and really understood the crowd for the rest of the songs he played. He really kept the party going the entire time! Our guests never left the dance floor! We got so many compliments on the music and atmosphere Daniel and his team created. I am so happy we chose DLE for our wedding! read more

My wife and I had met with a few DJ's before meeting Daniel from DLE Event Group, but one meeting was all it took because we instantly connected with Daniel and hired his team on the spot that day for our New Years Eve wedding. DLE Event Group understands weddings and they take care of everything. Daniel and his team put the work in before the event to ensure that they understand you as a couple, as well as your expectations for your special day. Communication is fluid and professionalism is always present. They bring everything to the table (lighting, DJ, MC, live performances, band/DJ hybrid, you name it........) with passion for wanting to perform at the highest level to ensure you and your guests have the best experience. Lastly, Daniel and the team understand flow. They read the crowd and adjust as necessary, instead of sticking to a preset formula. Everyone commented on the flow of the evening and how much they enjoyed it. We really can't thank Daniel and his team enough for all they did for us to ensure we had the best wedding night ever. If you're looking for the best entertainment company in the City for your special event, don't make a decision until you've met with Daniel. You'll rest easy knowing you have this crew in your corner! read more

Daniel did an amazing job for our wedding on 7/13 at the Queens County Farm Museum. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process and everyone came away from the wedding having a great time. There are two important aspects to a wedding, the music and the food. We were very fortunate to have Daniel on our side as the DJ, and anyone looking for a true professional should look no further. read more

Look no further. The search for YOUR perfect wedding entertainment experience ends here. Daniel Linares and his team are THE full wedding entertainment experience. I'd argue that he is a personal concierge and entertainment behemoth rolled into one. It's been almost 2 months since our wedding and people are still obsessing over what Daniel and his team brought to our wedding. He kept the party going, and according to our friends, they literally could not believe our wedding was over when the last song played. I don't ever remember feeling that way at any other wedding, but keep in mind my bias. Daniel's professionalism, charisma and needs-based approach to wedding hosting is all about you, and what you and your spouse-to-be want out of your wedding's entertainment experience, and believe us, we always felt like our priorities were number one. His collaborative approach kept my and my wife's nerves at bay, so that come time for the wedding we were just able to sit back and take it all in / dance our behinds off. Daniel was extremely flexible when it came to scheduling our check-in meetings with him, and he added structure to what could easily have been an overwhelming planning experience. Outside of his amazing selection of dance music and other entertaining activities, he was our concierge for the night. During the wedding our location wedding coordinator was all over the place, but Daniel was with us every step of the way. He would check in with us about every 15-20 minutes to see how we were doing, if we needed anything, if we needed him to find somebody for us. Having Daniel there was truly a 5-star, Ritz-Carlton-like experience. We have already recommended three couples to him. I say with the utmost conviction that it would not be a waste of your time to give Daniel a call yourself, and see what he has to offer. read more

It's tough writing a review about a DJ because to really understand the review the right way, you need to experience the DJ first hand. And this is EXACTLY what you need to do for your next party! It also starts when you meet up with Daniel to discuss the details of your party. He is very professional and doesn't make it feel like a business ordeal. His personality makes you feel comfortable right away. Then comes the party. We used Daniel for our Engagement Party. We gave him a list of songs and genres that we'd like to hear, and he delivered in every way. His flow was perfect, and nothing ever seemed to be out of place. That's what everyone looks for in a DJ and Daniel fits the bill very well! I can't really say much more other than this: do not pass up the opportunity to have Daniel be your party's DJ. He is great from start to finish and will make your event worthwhile!!! read more

Daniel was actually our second DJ. Our first DJ was so absolutely horrendous and never responded to anything we sent him, that we finally gave up and were going to suck it up and use an ipod for our wedding reception. Luckily, friends and family came to the rescue and found us Daniel! Within a day, Daniel had contacted us and invited us to a shared Basecamp website where he made sure we had lists of requested songs, songs for the important dances, introductions, and even songs not to play! He even managed to sneak in some musical theater numbers for me during our dinner! Definitely worth it - great set up, super easy to get in contact with him, amenable to all types of music, and very on top of his game! I would recommend to anyone! read more

AMAZING ENTERTAINMENT SERVICE! Daniel and his team are professional and kept everyone on the dance floor the ENTIRE time!!!

Daniel was AMAZING. If you are an OCD bride like I was, book him NOW. From the day we met to the day of our wedding (1.5 years span), Daniel and his team answered any and all of our questions, keeping us in the loop at all times. On top of their extreme professionalism, DLE was also technologically advanced compared to its competitors. I was able to share my music selections with the team through a program called Basecamp and even my personal Spotify playlists. This was vital as, like I said earlier, I was an OCD bride, who clearly selected my entire wedding playlist on my own before meeting with DLE. Despite learning that was a bad idea, I really appreciate Daniel making me feel heard and telling me he will consider my selections so long as it fits the crowd. And figure the crowd out he did! Besides playing every "must play" song I gave him (some of which were youtube exclusives), Daniel even figured out what kind of music the crowd likes all on his own. I was shocked to hear music compliments from not just my own age group but even older generations. On top of that, he even managed to turn a daytime wedding into a fun dance party. If you've ever been to a daytime wedding, you know how hard that is! So kudos to Daniel and his team. Thank you for being a part of what made our wedding day so perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. read more

I don't have a words to say how grateful we are for having Daniel and his friends on our wedding day ! They not only prepare every minute of our ceremony and reception but they dance with us so my guests got mad crazy exited !!! I found Daniel thanks to Yelp and if anyone will look at that review - please at least meet Daniel and talk to him !! Not only sweet guy but very professional !! By the way - we decide to do this cloud on the floor and that was a Winner!!! My guests couldn't close their mouths!!! Worth it every spend penny!! Daniel we own you memories for the rest of our life!!! read more

You can't ask for a more professional, down to earth and overall lovely company to work with for your wedding. Every time I hung up the phone with Daniel, I felt a sense of relief that he and DLE were going to make my day as seamless and stress-free as possible. They did a fantastic job helping me set a schedule for the day, and they really know how to read a room which is so important. So many guests came up to me during the wedding saying how amazing the DJ was, and that the music was on point throughout the entire night. Daniel and team have a convenient, user-friendly platform to keep track of your schedule, musical preferences and names of the bridal party/parents which was also a huge help to keep myself organized during planning. They've really been around the block when it comes to weddings and were even able to give me advice and recommendations on things non-music related! And most importantly to me, I felt really heard when I told Daniel that my husband and I didn't love being in the spotlight - he tailored our intros, dances and everything else in a way that was more low key and so perfect for us and our personalities. Couldn't recommend them more, I am SO incredibly thankful that DLE was part of my big day! read more

Daniel is great to work with as I was planning my wedding. He is very professional and organized, and even introduced me to Basecamp in organizing the songs and details to my wedding. He threw a great program during our wedding and our guests were non-stop dancing. Definitely recommendable! read more

Daniel is an amazing Dj! We recently hired him for a Sweet 16 this past April 1st. He was full of energy and kept the crowd going all night! My friends loved him and how great the party went. He really helped me have a successful party. He added things onto my party such as uplighting and even a photobooth! All my guests were raving (and still are) about how awesome my party was! I can't stop thanking Daniel for making it an amazing night. read more

Daniel and company were great to work with. We hired him for a Sweet 16 and felt comfortable throughout the whole process. He uses an online system that makes it very easy for everyone to input the kind of music they like and don't like, outline your event, music to play during dinner, etc. he also has added elements like lights, video collage that can make your night even more special. During the event he was high energy and made sure the crowd was having a great time. Everyone danced the whole night. Couldn't have asked for a better company. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. They did a horrible job for my students 5th grade graduation video. Daniel Linares and Judy Bitara stopped answering our phone calls and emails. I'm so disgusted and disappointed. Students photos left out the video, incorrect song, and the list goes on and our graduation is tomorrow. Don't use this company! How could you disappoint children and their families? read more

Daniel and his crew were playing at our wedding this past Monday and they were the bomb!! We had an intimate wedding with less than 50 people, but it worked out perfectly. Daniel came to the dance floor several times and knew how to work the crowd!! He played awesome music, besides the songs I requested, and was such a great entertainer. We honestly couldnt have asked for a better DJ. So professional and super nice, in addition! Daniel made our wedding an unforgettable event! Our guests were also highly impressed with him and his team's work! Many thanks to all!! read more

Rest assured, hire him! He made our wedding shine and everyone had a blast. Thanks, DLE! read more

Daniel did such an amazing job as our MC and our DJ kept our guests on their feet. They did exactly what we requested from the beginning to the end!! We met with Daniel and signed the same day and even recommended him to one of my husband's close friends who is also getting married (and they too signed!). Trust us, you will not be disappointed. He was such a pleasure to work with. He made things easy and answered all of our questions and concerns. Our guests are still talking about the wedding and how good the music flow was!! The best part is that he made suggestions without being too pushy.... his suggestions did suit our needs so he definitely listened. Thank you Daniel and your event group for an amazing night!! Especially at those times where I worried before the big day, you were able to sooth my worries that you will handle it all and you truly, truly did!! read more

The best ever!! We hired Daniel and his team for our wedding - we got so many compliments after that it was the most fun people had at a wedding. He was very professional and so helpful throughout the planning process. He gave us tips along the way that we hadn't thought of ourselves. Highly highly recommend!! read more

When I attended another wedding Daniel was their DJ and from that day forward I said I wanted him as my DJ at my wedding! So I did! Daniel was truly Amazing! The dance floor was packed the entire time! He was very well organized, played everything we wanted, and was on top of everything! Everyone spoke how good the DJ was weeks after the wedding! Thanks again DLE Event group you guys are the BEST! read more

Daniel was the DJ for our wedding a couple of weeks ago. He was recommended to us by a bride on a wedding blog. When he met with us a couple of months before our day, we noticed right away how professional and understanding he was. When our big day arrived, he helped organize our wedding and all of our guests had a great time. I highly recommend Daniel. read more

Daniel did a great job at our wedding at The Surf Club on 10-8-16. Daniel kept everyone on the dance floor the whole time. He spent time before the wedding finding out what type of music we would like and offered some suggestions. We are a gay couple and felt very comfortable working with Daniel. Daniel is also easy on the eyes, so all of our guests LOVED him. Thanks again Daniel! read more

Daniel did a fantastic job dj'ing my (Polish and Belizean) wedding on 4/26/2013 at the (lovely) Grand Prospect Hall. He was very professional and welcoming every time we met with him. After every meeting, we walked away feeling very at ease - knowing that Daniel would take care of us on our special day. And that he did. Our wedding went without a hitch thanks to Daniel. Numerous guests complemented us on the DJ and every time we looked over at the DJ booth, Daniel looked so comfortable - in his element. His music choice was great and his ability to read the crowd and adapt was impressive. I've never before seen someone do the Macarena and look so smooth in the process. Thanks for everything, Daniel. Keep up the great work. read more

Daniel and his team were great entertainers at my wedding. They listened to all my requests for my wedding. The team showed up on time and were very professional. Their set up is aesthetically up to par and modern. read more

I was the best man for my best friend Frank and his now husband John's Wedding. I hired Daniel and he was AMAZING. His professionalism was soothing and the Dj was one less thing to worry about. He was cute so all the other single gays at the reception could oogle over him. I will definitely be using him for my wedding whenever that may be. read more

I'm usually not one to write reviews. However, the job that Daniel and his team provided was top notch and better than we could have ever imagined. My husband and I had our wedding at the Central Park Boathouse in late May and it definitely wouldn't have been the same without Daniel. We have very type A personalities and wanted things to look, sound, and feel a certain way. Every ask was met and Daniel made sure that if we didn't like something, he would change it until we were happy. He's also extremely flexible which we appreciated especially up until the last days before the wedding. This was a gay wedding and Daniel never made us feel uncomfortable. He was very accommodating and only wanted the best for us. Our guests haven't stopped raving about how great the music was. And his emceeing skills are probably the best that I've seen at a wedding. He is fun and makes sure that the guests are entertained throughout the reception. And I'd like to add that he is not bad on the eyes. All the girls were fawning over him and (since it was a gay wedding), all the gay guys were fawning as well. We HIGHLY recommend Daniel Linares and his team to perform and your event/wedding. We also recommend choosing the uplighting as part of your package. It definitely transformed the entire room. You will not be disappointed. He is the best as what he does. EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING about the job that they did deserves five stars. read more
