Where luxury meets energy. Ello Entertainment creates elevated, high-energy weddings across Long Island, New York City, and the tri-state area. We are open-format DJs, which means we read the room in real time and move between genres and generations without forcing it: clean mixing, seamless transitions, and edits and mashups that keep the floor full while staying familiar. Top 40, hip-hop, EDM, classics, Latin, whatever your crowd responds to. Before the day, we plan your set with you in detail so the music is exactly what you and your guests want. We are also full-service, so your DJ, MC, lighting, FX, live musicians, photo, and video are handled by one coordinated team. That keeps the pacing tight from your ceremony to the last song of the night.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Ello Entertainment and their incredible team — Joe (DJ), Eddie (MC), and Henry (Saxophonist)! They were absolutely phenomenal at our weddi...

ng on 8.22.26. From the very beginning, they understood exactly the energy and atmosphere we wanted and completely brought it to life. The energy they brought all night was SO much fun and exactly what we dreamed of. The lighting enhancements in the room also made such a huge difference and really elevated the entire atmosphere. The ceremony music was beautiful, and Joe did an amazing job creating our reception playlist based on all the songs and playlists I gave him. He truly listened to everything I wanted and somehow made it even better. Our guests were never sitting down — they were on the dance floor all night! The music, MCing, saxophone, and overall energy made the night unforgettable. It was truly everything we ever could have dreamed of for our wedding. If you are planning a wedding, party, or any event, we highly recommend Ello Entertainment. They are the complete package and absolutely worth it! 10/10 — we would choose them again in a heartbeat!

I'm big on creating a party atmosphere for my wedding. I love to break it down on the dance floor, so I knew I needed someone who could bring a club-like feel all night. And I was ...

so happy because DJ Ello Entertainment did just that. It was absolutely magical. I heard literal gasps of excitement when the party robot entered the room, and everyone was ignited with awe! And then I danced on a cloud with my husband, and that felt like an absolute dream. And Joseph, as our DJ, really knew how to work the crowd considering there were so many diverse people with different tastes, which is never easy to do! But he nailed it. And his emcee, Eddie, was an absolute beast all night, keeping everyone up on their feet. And he did such an amazing job with the wedding games, too! All of this came together thanks to Joseph's incredible in-depth planning throughout the whole process. If I could give him a 100/10, I would!!!

Riley S

DJ Ello and MC Moe are AMAZING!!! We had them for our wedding and they had everyone dancing all night. Joe spent a lot of time with us prior to our wedding day to learn our tastes ...

and curated the perfect playlist. We had so many people asking for his information and saying they never danced so much at a wedding! If you're looking for a high energy crew I 100% recommend Ello Entertainment!!

My sister decided to elope and have a dinner with her close friends to celebrate. Originally she didn't want to have a DJ but I convinced her to get one last minute. We used Ello E...

ntertainment and they literally made the party! Everyone keeps raving about how much fun they had at her wedding and how GREAT the DJ was. He really knew how to bring the party and adopt to what got the guests on the dance floor. 100/10 would recommend using them for a wedding, party or block party.

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Joe! He is absolutely amazing and so, so professional. He recently DJ’ed my engagement party and my fiancé and I (and all of our gue...

sts) loved him so much that we immediately hired him for our wedding next year. He is super easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and really brought our dreams to life. We cannot wait to continue working with him - not just for our wedding, but for all our future events!!! If you’re thinking about booking with Ello; DO IT!! You will not regret it! Here's my update post-wedding (spoiler alert... nothing changed): Ello Entertainment absolutely made our wedding. From the second the guests arrived to the last song of the after party, the energy was PERFECT! The emcee kept everything flowing seamlessly without ever feeling overbearing (which was a big thing for my husband and me), the DJ read the room flawlessly, and the dance floor was PACKED the entire night - like, not one single lull. And the cocktail hour sax player? AMAZING! It set such a cool, elevated vibe, and our guests loved it all. I truly cannot recommend Joe and his team enough. They brought the exact vibe we wanted, kept everyone engaged, and made the whole night feel electric.

dnt get off the dance floor, tables & speakers. Joey & his MC checked in throughout the entire nignt while also working to make sure the vibe was exactly what me wnd my fiance wanted. I told joey I wanted to rage all night & thats exactly what he did for me. Ello entertainment is knowledgeable, skilled, kind & overall amazing. I wish I could do it all over again, just to dance the night away again. Thank you for EVERYTHING!!!! You were the best part of our wedding! YOURE THE BEST!!!!!!

rt of that was because of how Joe and his team showed up. Even during the booking process. Joe went above and beyond to to make sure no detail was missed and so helpful planning our music set lists. The after-movie they made for us was absolutely stunning! All in all, I highly recommend Joe and Ello entertainment.
