I've worked alongside Paul at many events, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about him,…read moreand what he brings to the table via his business, Elmwood Village Entertainment. First off, he's a true renaissance man; an individual of many talents, creative abilities, and a genuine humility that makes you think it's all just second nature to him. Second, his level of professionalism is unequaled. Always punctual, always prepared, always ready to provide the highest levels of service. Third - just have a conversation with him. Again, he exudes confidence, energy, and humility. A genuinely good guy! When he's spinning tracks, the entertainment doesn't break. Dance floors are filled, and the event is bumpin'! His musical selections are almost instinctive for the gathering, and the songs flow from one, to the next. Yeah, he's that good. I know a lot of good DJ's. I know a few great ones. Elmwood Village Entertainment doesn't have to be your first call, but do not hire a DJ in Buffalo without talking to Paul first!

I used Yelp's Request a Quote feature to find Paul from Elmwood Village Entertainment about a month…read morebefore my event. Paul was incredibly professional and accommodating and a true professional at his job. I would not hesitate to have Paul (DJ Rock) / Elmwood Village Entertainment to host your wedding, event, etc. Where to start? 1) He arrived incredibly early to setup, loaded a lot of equipment and tested the sound. 2) He ran with the script we gave him and acted as a great MC throughout the night. 3) He was kind, professional and on top of it all. I wouldn't hesitate to have Paul host any future events and I'm glad I found him! Highly recommended if you're looking for a DJ or MC!

I force myself to round up to a Star after the poor service and scolding I just had with the female…read moreclerk at Alder Creek. This isn't the first time I've left there wondering what has happened in her life to make her so miserable? I took a rental in to be looked at because one of a key's wasn't closing. As I was inquiring about the issue I started to sense an attitude from the female clerk. Maybe I as a customer gave up those rights of inquiry when i signed the rental agreement (?). So, I with a little annoyed inflection in return inquired about her unnecessary attitude. Her loud and scolding retort informed me it was because she was out at the counter while 'he' (the owner) was in the back eating dinner and that this was the second instrument that I've brought back for repairs due to dropped damage! And that I was given a big break on the last repair! So my loud and excited reply was to apologize for stopping in during normal business (and apparently) dinner hours. I also apologized because I didn't realize and show my appreciation for the "big break" I got on the last repair! I also apologized and was very sorry that I rented many instruments from them over the course of years for our daughter and son... and that I would be sure to inform others of my unpleasant experience. Customer service - and honestly human decency - is just severely lacking. Our son won't even go in there to purchase reeds or other supplies anymore because this lady has been so miserable when we've stopped in the past. Perhaps this damage was our fault - perhaps not, however, does understanding the depth of the repair and the cost seem an unreasonable request? We've spent so much money there through the years, it's unreal how we've been treated when we came in for a repair request. The owner did come out to address the situation and although we've found him to be decent in the past, he didn't apologize for the terrible treatment by his female clerk...and that is failing at Customer Service 101.

Bought two guitars at the shop and had an older guitar repaired. Awesome selection and service!…read moreGreat guitar lessons too! Strongly recommend!

Awesome service. Great products…read more I have taken lessons from the owner, Vince, for years. I could not rate this place any higher. It has that old-school store vibe, but all the latest and greatest in everything. So much better than buying from a corporation and not seeing where your money goes. Prices are always as low as Musician's Friend or any online retailer. Great selection of used gear in the back room. Service is great because all the employees are actual musicians and not college kids looking for part time jobs like the competition has. Keep the locally owned dream alive! You will love the service and the products. It seems like just a matter of time before Vince sells a guitar to some kid that goes off and puts Buffalo back on the musical map!
