Jenna the dj kept the party hopping all night! She literally was so great in ensuring the guests were kept in the loop the entire night. The couple loved x files and she was made aware and went out of her way to play the x files theme song as a surprise for them. Also, there was an inside joke with a cardboard cutout of Danny Devito. When they did a couples dance she even joked about how if someone didn’t have a partner they could dance with Danny. She was very personable and even helped clear plates in her free time. In addition, there was an issue where the hired officiant didn’t show up on time. I called Live Events as a back up and the owner Dennis told me he was an hour and a half away at another wedding but would come immediately. He rushed to our aid even when I told him the other officiant finally showed up. He showed up ready to help in any way he could. This company is top notch in all they do. Professional, polite, friendly, fun and ready to exceed your expectations. The only mistake you could make on your wedding day would be not hiring them.

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Elite Beats

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Carthage, MO

Elite Beats is an award-winning collective of entertainers that specialize in the art of DJing. As professional DJ's, we are well versed in a wide array of genres and have vast experience in rocking every type of event imaginable. We come equipped with real DJ skills and extensive musical knowledge gained from decades of working in nightclubs, dance parties, radio and weddings.

Elite Beats did an outstanding job DJ'ing for our wedding! They were very easy to communicate with and were happy to work with our requests and needs. The form that they use to collect info on how we wanted the proceedings to go not only built our confidence that there wouldn't be any misunderstandings, but it also was a very helpful tool for our own planning process in building up our itinerary. We didn't have a grand vision for our music, but with the limited information and few songs that we did give Matt, he did an excellent job of crafting the cocktail hour, dinner, and dance party moods all throughout the night that really fit the atmosphere we were dreaming of. He was even so gracious as to help us mic our Maid of Honor and her acoustic guitar to play our First Dance song live. We received consistent compliments throughout the night and following weeks on the music and DJ work, and would highly recommend Elite Beats to anyone!

My most notable performances are my solo performance in SoNA's 2022 winter concert, my honorary solo performance for the Walton Arts Center annual fundraising ball, and numerous professional-level performances at the Eastern Music Festival.

We hired Rivers to play cello at our wedding and we were so pleased with the results. His playing and tone created a romantic atmosphere that we’ll never forget.

I play Classy Jazz, Pop, Soul, House & more. Book Me For: - Solo sax w/ pro backing tracks - Sax w/ a DJ - Sax WHILE DJing - Sax + sing - Sax w/ 2-4 person band For most venues, I bring my own soundsystem. I deliver a flawless performance - AND flexibility and clear communication throughout the booking process. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or private party, I'll help you and your guests have a memorable, awesome time!

When planning our reception we knew we wanted to add something a little special and Taylor with his Sax was the perfect addition! First of all, he was incredibly communicative and easy to work with, super professional. We had also hired a separate DJ and had a quick chat a week before the wedding to discuss a few of our ‘must play’ songs. Taylor was excited and even willing to learn one that he hadn’t known before hand. We hired him to play some soft jazz and pop during our cocktail hour and then for our reception with our DJ. He absolutely killed it. During the reception he was right there on the dance floor with everyone and our guests were having the best time. Even at our goodbye brunch the day after, multiple guests kept complimenting on what an amazing job he did. Needless to say I highly recommend Taylor for your wedding!!
