**We first couldn't decide DJ or Band. We went to a showcase and fell in love with the Band - The Elite Club band. They were AWESOME! Everyone raved about the band, they hardly took a break. The dance floor was packed all the time. Marcus read my crowd really well. Overall, we were very happy with our decision having a band over a DJ. Thanks to Elite Music!

We just had our wedding this past Sunday , November 6th, and we are still in heaven since we had the very best PARTY in our entire life! We are still getting rave reviews from our guests about our party and mostly about our band. We have to Thank Anna and our band, The Elite Club! :) Marcus sang every request along with the female vocalist, and they were the very best! I highly recommend them to everyone. We depart for our honeymoon to Bora Bora this weekend.- Can't wait! BYE!

We booked a great band for our wedding on October 23, 2011 at the North Ritz Club with Anna. The band exceeded our expectations in every way! My parents who attended the showcase, booked them and I was so happy with the bands performance. I only met with Anna the week before our wedding since I lived out of state. She and her staff were very nice, professional and very helpful. We highly recommend Elite Music and Entertainment to everyone.

We booked DJ Steve Copa and MC with Elite Music Inc. and I have to say they made our wedding perfect! We wanted a classy party with an upbeat to it. Every request we made I believe they played them.They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. Our October 21t was a great success becuase of their thoughtfulness and care that went into our wedding! Thank you again Elite Music and special thanks to Anna.Sincerely,Kristin and Justin

My wedding was absolutely spectacular and I owe it all to Elite Music! While the champagne flowed and the flowers were amazing, not to mention the best food ever. The entertainment was priceless and unforgetable. My husband and I danced all night long to everything from contemporary to motown to rock and roll. The band was awesome and we could not have made a better choice. They played everything we wanted and then some. Thank you Anna for making our special day one we won't forget. Your expertise was invaluable and your band talented beyond words!

My husband and I contracted the Elite Club Band for our October 14, 2011 wedding at the Bourne Mansion. Although they are a very talented group, they are FAR from professional. First, Anna Petrel lied to us on numerous items:LIE#1: “Yes, the band has played at the venue many times before.” – A few days prior to our wedding we met with the general manager of the Bourne Mansion who confirmed they NEVER played there. It was obvious they never had when the technician could not get the amplification to properly work in the high ceiling ballroom. During our toasts you would hear constant screeching and feedback from the speakers. We (our maître d’, wedding coordinator, and ourselves) had to request him to lower the volume FIVE TIMES before he actually did it. One time when I approached him, he blew me off, went up to my maître d’ and asked, “Is that the bride?” I guess my white wedding gown and sitting at the dais was not enough of an indication to him. LIE#2: “You don’t have to pay for vendor meals (dinners) for the band – they are there to perform; not to eat.” – The band did not have any dinners at our wedding because they ate more at the cocktail hour than our guests did. It became a running joke because some of them at more food in an hour than most people consume in a day. I watched my maître d’ have to pry them off the food because the reception was beginning and they were late getting into the room for their final set up. LIE#3: “The band members are extremely professional” – We were due to be announced into our reception at 7:00pm. At 7:10pm we were told by our planner that there was a slight delay. I decided, since we were waiting, to use the ladies room where I found the female lead vocal of the group getting dressed in the bathroom. She looked like a mess with her dress half zipped up and clothing all over the bathroom floor. When I told her that she is suppose to be in the ballroom, she told me not to worry where she proceeded to pull a blow dryer out of her bag and blow dry her hair. LIE#4: “The band does rock-n-roll, but didn’t perform any at tonight’s showcase because the guitarist has a sore throat.” – We put several rock-n-roll songs on our request list (along with several other genres of music) but they were never performed. The band performed the same songs at our wedding that they perform on the website and at their showcases – the ones they know. They are not comfortable with playing genres outside of their comfort zone (which is largely disco and modern pop). This also applies to learning new songs. They had to learn two new songs for our first dance and the father/daughter dance – both songs were not performed well. “Butterfly Kisses” was the father/daughter song we choose – most guests did not recognize it. Throughout the night the band did redeem themselves by performing the songs they did know very well. The dance floor was constantly packed (we were a very lively group) and some people commented to us on how great they sounded. It’s unfortunate that their total lack of unprofessionalism over shadows their performance skills. Many bands out there can perform just as well AND not cause so many problems (there were a few more, but we just listed the major problems). My husband and I wish we went with another band.

Had the Elite Club Band at my wedding. We had a 5 piece band. I was a bit worried the sound would not be great due to a smaller group but it sounded like a 10 piece band. We were originally going to go for a DJ but fell in love with the band instead. Due to our budget we picked the 5 piece band and am now glad we did.Our guests were dancing all night!

The Elite Club was absolutely amazing! I just got married about two weeks ago, and my guests are still raving about how great the band was. From the moment the reception started to the very end, all my guests were dancing and having the time of their lives. It was such an amazing night, and I feel like it wouldn't have been the same without the Elite Club. Thank you Elite for making it a night my husband and I will never forget!

The band was AMAZING! After viewing one other company, we knew what we wanted..... The Elite Club was it. Also, they provided an elegant string quartet for our ceremony in our Church and they were perfect! As well as the DJ Steve for the after hour party was Awesome ! All of our guests are still talking about our wedding. We truely recommend you visit Elite Music for everything. They made everything easy for us.
