    He was amazing! Played music according to the mood of the crowd! He was also very good with our hectic time schedule that was pushed back a little bit. Definitely recommending him to my friends!

    Thank You Marc, for doing such a great job at Carla and Adams wedding on May 24, 2014, at the Monterey Hill venue.
    You did everything you promised and more! You kept the party rocking, you helped me in all my communication needs with the venue, and made it such a special day for all of us!
    We loved the Photo booth, and the Candy Bar that you provided in your services, both were such a huge hit!
    I would recommend you any time!!

    Marc at Elegant Proposals Entertainment was our DJ for our wedding on 5/24/14 and he was awesome! I don't think the day would have gone nearly as well without him there! in addition to the very easy to use website tools he has for picking out music, I was able to call and talk to him when I had a question or talk through email, and he always responded very quickly. At the wedding he provided music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception; he arrived early in the day to set up his equipment and to ask me and my mom if there was anything we needed, right away he told us he was more than happy to be our go to man, which was awesome because the venue people fell short in that area. In addition to bringing all the music stuff he also brought a candy bar (which people loved way more than I thought they would, seriously what a huge hit that was!) and a Photo Booth (also a huge hit!) a BOGO light with our names in our colors (very pretty! and added an extra layer to the customized feel in the room) and uplighting also in our colors. He even brought an extra attendant to run the photo booth so that was great! throughout the evening he would stop over with me or my mom or my MOH and see if everything was going well, if there was something he could help get done... So when the venue failed to have to patio cleaned and welcoming for guests to use after the ceremony, Marc was able to talk to the event captain and get them on that! within a few minutes chairs were being reset up as promised!
    Throughout the evening and after the wedding I have gotten nothing but complements on what an awesome wedding we had and how great the DJ was! Marc really is everything a bride could ask for!

    Marc at Elegant Proposals did an excellent job keeping our reception going. He made adjustments through the evening that made everything flow perfectly and kept everyone entertained. All the guests commented that the music and flow of the reception were perfect. Everyone was out on the dance floor and had a great time. We were just sad when it was all over...wished it could have gone on longer!

    DJ marc is just everything a bride could ever ask for. he is the WHOLE package in ONE super nice cool dude. we had our wedding in november of 2012 and up to this point, whenever my wedding would come up in conversations with our friends, dj marc from elegant proposals always come up. i will never forget how he stepped up like nobody else that day.
    before all these, the communication for the planning we had with dj marc was easy, fast and clear. he returned my calls and emails promptly and assured me the whole time that everything will be ok... he had amazing ideas and suggestions and was very helpful in answering my unending questions.
    on our wedding day, he kept checking back with us to see if everything he had set up was up to our standards, he would periodically ask us if he could get us anything, what he can do and constantly remind us that if there is anything we need, to let him know. he kept all of our guests entertained with the music, i also love his voice when he makes those announcments, he is just full of fun and energy!
    during our event, we encountered a little problem with one of our vendors, for some unacceptable reason, our event space/caterer ran out of ice. yes they did, i know! and for another stupid unacceptable reason, they were not able to provide anymore and told me that they were about to close down my open bar. as i was about to freak out, i turn and see dj marc and immediately asked me if everything was ok, i told him what was going on and he just answered me with "do not worry, i will take care of it." and next thing i know, he was driving to the nearest gas station and came back within 10 minutes with bags and bags of ice. he saved my open bar... he saved my night and he saved our wedding and it was not even in his job description to do so.

    for me that just says a lot about him and how he loves what he does,,. and that's helping out brides like me to make her wedding as perfect and memorable as it can be

    Marc was great! He took the time to understand our personalities and preferences. My ceremony music was prefect, and he had and played every song I requested. The photo booth was a big hit. I received the disc with all the photos the same night, they are so fun and a wonderful addition to our wedding memories. Months later I am still hearing how much everyone enjoyed my wedding.

    Marc was one of the most professional people I have ever met. He was in constant contact with me and my wife throughout the wedding planning and was always there to help us during the actual wedding day. He helped answer any of the small and stupid questions to suggestions on what would also help make our wedding a memorable one. He was very people oriented and made sure that our guest were having a great time, he also took the time to find and play some of the songs that he didn't have on his song list and played them during the night. His prices were very reasonable and he will customize his packages to help suit you and your budget. He is a very easy person to talk to and very efficient with setting up his equipment and tearing down. One of the best around! Thank you Marc!

    Dear Mark Smith of Elegant Proposals,
    I personally want to thank you in making Lisa and Pete’s wedding of April 20, 2012 aboard the Queen Mary of Long Beach a true hit! Our guests felt welcomed and fully enjoyed being part of the wedding experience. The music was fun to dance to and everyone was continually, entertained the whole night. Even people I had never seen dance before got up on the dance floor! The Candy Bar was unique and a big hit; as well as the Photo Booth. The pictures taken at the photo booth were good quality and it looked like everyone had a great time posing in them. I’m only sorry I didn’t make it up to the photo booth myself!
    I will definitely do my best to advertise your liveliness and professionalism. If you could send me some business cards, I’d be happy to hand them out to people I know who are looking for a Master of Ceremonies/DJ. We definitely picked the right DJ!
    Helenne Asebez, Mother of the Bride
    Asebez/Linneman Wedding, April 20, 2012, aboard the RMS Queen Mary of Long Beach

    This was by far the funnest DJ we have ever had the pleasure of using. Marc Smith was fantastic! He stayed away from all of the music that we told him we disliked. He is very organized and has a tool on his webite that allows you to build your music list, rate your songs (likes and dislikes) and put together a time frame for him to go off of. You can tell that he does this for fun and not for the money. He is very reasonably priced but I would have easily paid more for him. Not only does he do the music, he does uplighting as well. You can see testimonials on YOUTUBE as well! My husband and I were happy to submit one on his behalf!

    My fiance and I hired Marc Smith, aka Elegant Proposals Entertainment, as the DJ for our wedding reception.

    Marc read our crowd, kept everyone happy and got a diverse group on the dance floor. We gave him little guidance, and he did far better than we could have done in choosing the music that we and our guests wanted. His announcements were professional and clear, and he was proactive in making sure that the reception flowed smoothly and that we were satisfied throughout, unobtrusively checking in with us often. He is very good and we recommend him highly.

    Mark was recommended to me by a friend and was an absolute pleasure to work with! When I lost the CD with custom music that was not in his song library for my father/daughter, mother/son, and first dance, Mark was on the ball with alternative song suggestions, during my reception, for all three of those dances. During the planning of my wedding, he recommended several vendors, and even went to meet a florist with me. He did a wonderful job with keeping my reception running smoothly!

    Marc S. was a wonderful DJ and we couldn't have asked for more. He services are a really good deal considering you get uplighting, a gobo, photo booth, candy buffet, and slideshow in addition to DJ services. His website is user friendly where you can request all the music you would like and there is a template where you plug in the songs you want that correspond to the regular order of events (first dance, cake cutting, parent dances, etc). This helped me stay organized! Everyone kept saying what a wonderful time they had, and my only regret is that we ran out of time to play the dance music since my venue had a noise curfew outdoors. Even so, people said they liked the change of pace that it was mainly quiet and classy, but Marc will tailor your reception to whatever music you would like. Thanks so much for a wonderful event!

    I thought he was an alright DJ. I was very unorganized bride and doing last minute thing. So part of it is my fault.
    He was there on time. He took last minute request from me. (3-4 days prior to my wedding) I didnt even have a time line ready for anyone or for Mark. He was very responsive on the phone telling me not to worry and that everything will be perfect the way I wanted to be.
    He told me DJ, Photobooth, Candy table, and uplighting was all including in my package.
    He was going to put lights under my cake table, and alllll around the reception room.... THAT DIDNT HAPPEN! His excuse was that there was no outlets around the room. That was FALSE! The room next door had a wedding as well and it was all lit up. Few days prior to my wedding there was a christmas tree in the room and there were lights!!!! LIGHTS & OUTLETS!!! So zero lightnings for me. I was so sad and disappointed! I had a small list of music selected but none of that was played. But the ones he chose on his own wasnt bad. When i first walked into the reception for my Grand Entrance... the music was so lowww! GRAND ENTRANCE SUPPOSED TO BE LOUD AND POPPIN! even when i sat at my table I had to tell him to turn it up! His jokes was NOT funny at all!
    When anyone made a speech.. i expect low music to play in the background but it was dead quite and boring. gah i just wanted to scream! no one really danced at all because of the choice of music was being played.
    As for the candy table.... i was not too sure about it since i did not check it out. My guest says it was good. when i saw the goodies it was not color coordinated with my wedding as i asked for.
    Photobooth! OMFG REALLY?? quality was not good when it was printed out! Props? You call these props? The video he has posted of himself had better props than what I have received at my wedding. I got these cardboard paper heads that i do not know who they are. Crappy big glasses! thats all i got!
    You Get what you pay for.

    I am so very dissapointed with them. Not only did Mark not show up at the reception, sending an awful person who might as well been an iPod, there were no bags for the candy table and we did not receive any pictures from the photo booth as promised. There is little to no communication on his part and we are still trying to get in touch to get our pictures. It has been almost two months with different stories as to where our pictures are and finally no answer when we call or email. Please please do not book them. Maybe our event was a fluke but this is your one and only wedding, don't let it be ruined by possible inferior service.

    Worse DJ ever! I wish i can take back the day when I decided to hire him! Then I wont be wishing that I can take my wedding day back which they ruined! Do NOT even think of hiring them if you want to have a good wedding. He called on the day of the wedding to tell me that he cant come and will send someone else. The guy was horrible! I should have asked someone to play their Ipod instead. HE forgot to give us the microphone for the ceremony. So no one heard anything, even my videographer couldnt get a decent sound on our vows. During the reception, there was no flow at all. He stops literally every time the music stops. Like a minute pause after every song! He was so unprepared. The photobooth was not manned at all. My guests (including me) kept reaching over the laptop so we can take the picture ourselves since he seems so occupied! 3 weeks after the wedding.. my guests still comes up to me to go.. "pretty wedding... but DJ sucks!" if my 56 year old uncle can tell that the DJ does not know what he's doing.. something's really wrong. STAY AWAY.. i will post this review on every wedding website i can get my hands on.

    Brides...Don't let him ruin your big day because you can't ever get that day back, services are Horrible!!

    He is really great at communicating over the phone and such, but when it comes to the actual day of not good at all, very UNPROFESSIONAL!...Arrived ten minutes before start time, rude to guests, was in a foul mood, got upset with guests when they would do music requests, very rude to guests, smokes/drinks liquor/takes personal phone calls while on the job, does not provide all services promised, poor malfunctioning equipment, won't play genres of music he doesn't like, skips all over with music genres (no consistency besides pop music)

    Honestly you are better off just putting an Ipod to shuffle than hiring this guy just speaking from experience. Thought he would be great because all the reviews I had found on wedding wire, yelp, google...etc were great, but I wished somebody would have warned us

    Horrible!!!!! I won this dj at a bridal show, he seemed so nice at first and I was so excited to have won him, he called within a few days and was great at setting everything up but since then I haven't heard from him once! I've sent several emails, text and phone calls, not one reply. I wouldn't trust him! As a bride it was extremely stressful to have this put on me last minute

    This vendor cancelled on my wedding one week before stating that he had been in an accident and was in a great deal of pain, yet the same exact day of the email (11/2/14) he was at another wedding, as the DJ. You can search his company name on any site and see the reviews. I paid for the "expo" special at half price, which I am suspicious he ended up cancelling because he was able to find a higher paying gig. His lack of communication, his elusiveness and his lack of professionalism should make any potential client disgusted and wary.

    My advice to you: Tread lightly with this wolf in sheep’s clothing and NEVER trust a man sporting a ponytail after 1990. Ya know what, just never trust a man with a ponytail.

    I met this DJ and his company at a bridal show in Orange County. After watching a fashion show that he emceed, I ended up winning a package from him. I was all signed up and ready to go for my wedding, however, my date changed. He did not respond to me once the date changed, and he left me high and dry. I was so disappointed!
