Exceptional and Terrific Experience

we just got married in June 7, 2025 and we had the pleasure to have Hot Wax like vendor for our wedding. I contact Elliott the owner an year ago and since I started chatting with him he always replied to me right away even in vacation. He is a professional and sweet man. Like Dj we got Ward, who was very professional and he accomodated all our requests, he was always making sure that everthing was good. I like him a lot It seems the perfect DJ for us. LIke photobooth we go Keith a wonderful man who was so sweet and friendly with our guests. Ward and Keith went above and beyond my aspectations. Hot wax is a great vendor and I will choose them again. Strongly raccomend them. Thank you so so much

Highly recommend!

Elliott was super quick to respond and we were able to work out everything needed in very short time for a very reasonable price in my opinion. Any questions that came up were addressed in minutes. DJ Mike was an absolute Joy, keeping the energy levels up the whole night and working in the (very) eclectic request list. They were very professional the entire time, set up and tore down to schedule, worked really well with our day-of coordinator, and I would highly recommend their services.

Extremely Satisfied - DJ James rocked!

Elliott responded to our request right away and DJ James was amazing. Kept the dance floor packed the entire night and we couldn't be happier with choosing Hot Wax Entertainment for our wedding. We had multiple guests ask us where we found the DJ and would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their upcoming wedding/event.

Fantastic!

We are so happy we chose Hot Wax for our wedding! The entire process was so organized and smooth and the whole team was just a pleasure to work with. We had so much fun and danced the night away!

Our DJ, DJ Paul was FANTASTIC! What an excellent choice! He truly made our night memorable. We had many guests mention how great the music and the DJ were, and there were many people (including myself and my husband!) dancing till the very end. Many thanks to DJ Paul, to Elliott and the whole Hot Wax team for your outstanding work!

Thank you Elliot, Mike, and Keith!

The Gig Bar and Photobooth were a huge hit at our wedding. Mike did an exceptional job DJ'ing, and Keith was a huge help manning the photobooth. The music selection was 10/10, setup/take down were fast, and we received many compliments from our guests towards them both.

Thank you Elliot for responding to our inquiries so quickly and making our wedding awesome!

Could not have asked for anything more! Elliott was responsive from the start. Always answering emails in a timely manner and was quick to be flexible with any unique ideas or changes we had. Our DJ, Paul, was amazing! He read the room so well. He was great at announcements and checked in on us throughout the night. They were so easy going and everything was seamless.

Wedding DJ July 2024

We had a blast listening to the dinner music and dancing to Mike’s set all night! Everyone had a great time on the dance floor. It was a pleasure working with Elliot and Mike. Quick and easy to communicate with, very professional, and they were open to song requests. We will definitely recommend Hot Wax Entertainment to our friends and family!

Great service from both the DJ and the owner

We couldn't be happier with the service we got from Hot Wax. Elliott was more than happy to talk with us over the phone multiple times to explain the entire process to us, as well as give us advice for the decisions we were less confident about. He as also very quick to respond via email for every little question we had. Our DJ Paul was very efficient and accommodating, even helping the bride and her friends put on a special a cappella performance during the reception. I'd highly recommend Hot Wax to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
