Sondra-December 2023

Thanks so much, Todd for your great work on Quinten’s Bar Mitzvah.We had a great time and much of that was because you helped the event move smoothly.  Everyone loved the magic and gambling. It all went by so fast!  Can’t wait to see the photos!

Alissa– Skin Laundry Co Holiday Party Dec. 2023-  Thank you so much for everything.  Your Casino was a big HIT and we loved your magic, DJ, & Photo Booth.  It was great to work with you.

“Hi Todd,

Thank you for all your help and work making my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah so incredibly special and memorable:

      👍 THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 😊
It was everything we’d hoped for, really, and more in unexpected ways, too, especially the photography.  You had the dining/dancing space set up so nicely, and the disco lights and music made the room awesome to walk into. (They complimented the amazing work my family did with the twinkling crystal centerpieces). Also, thank you for filling in the very few gaps and snaffoos with the music transfer, so seamlessly, on the fly, when I mistakenly sent the files to your landline!  I panicked but your experience and calm during that time, and throughout the party, made it all okay for me.  Thank you for being so proactive and getting her the armchair to lift her safely in the air!  I’m, also, so glad you helped pace me during the party and reminded me to take photos in the Photo Booth, so I didn’t miss that opportunity on that day!
Your experience helped us so much because you were right; it was so nice to do a father-daughter dance, which I hadn’t thought we needed in advance!  Throughout the planning ahead of time you were quick to respond to all my concerns, too.  You created a great party that my family will remember always.
Sincerely and with thanks,  Anne, A Grateful Mom”
Lisa Woomer- Both Son’s Bar Mitzvahs and School Graduation Dance Sept. 2015, Oct 2022 & June 2023- Todd is extremely detail oriented, professional, and great with the teenagers. Everyone always has the best time!
I have been using Todd Elliot Entertainment for all of my events for many years including both of my son’s Bar Mitzvahs. He is reliable, attentive, professional and has the best prices. He really did an amazing job at my son’s recent Bar Mitzvah. We had a very large and rowdy group of 13 year olds and he managed to keep them entertained and under control. I highly recommend him for any type of event you are having.

I cannot recommend him enough! Todd came to my son’s 5th birthday party and absolutely blew us away. From the moment he arrived, he had all the kids completely mesmerized. He was very patient with them, taking the time to explain each trick and make sure everyone was included, even the adults.

Not only was he a fantastic magician, but he was also a wonderful entertainer. He had the kids giggling and laughing the entire time, everyone was completely engrossed in his performance. It was amazing to watch how he was able to capture the attention of such a young audience and keep them engaged and focus while performing.

What I appreciated most about Todd was his genuine kindness and warmth. He went out of his way to make sure my son felt special on his big day, he wore a Dr Strange costume we provided to fit with the Avenger’s theme of the party. It’s clear that he truly loves what he does and wants to make sure everyone has a great time.

Overall, I would highly recommend this magician to anyone looking for a fun, engaging, and truly magical experience. He exceeded all of our expectations and helped make my son’s birthday a truly unforgettable event. Thank you so much for everything.  Mael

Thanks for everything Todd as your band Bob’s yer Uncle were great.

I hired Todd and his partner for Salsa Instruction for one of our large, repeat clients this past June and I could not have been happier as well as our client.

I would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you,

Our event turned out nice Todd. We were very pleased with your great band, you and your partner for the dancing and interacting with our guests.  A sincere thank you.  Cliff Claycomb April 2013

Dear Todd, From our entire family, I want to thank you whole heartedly for helping to facilitate and make our family event and festivities so wonderful. From the beginnings -the early planning stage the venue location – to the ceremony, the experience working with you was a delight. I can comfortably speak for our family, friends, acquaintances and business associates we all had a blast! Thanks to you and your culinary knowledge we couldn’t have been happier with the food selection and warm catering staff.  We also really enjoyed Todd Elliots mcing, helping with the games, dancing as well as the onsite coordination.  As is evident from our event video the dance floor was jammed packed from beginning to end – kudos to DJ Jon and the rest of your team. I can imagine its not easy balancing between the shifting generational music tastes but I witnessed the most senior folks boogying just as hard as the teen crowd – I’m not certain how you pulled that one off but you did -And it was a blast!!!

We are looking forward to many more festive events and sure hope that Todd Elliot Entertainment will be ready to set the stage once again.
Thank you Todd – our event was awesome  Eduard M   March 2013
 

Todd Elliot Entertainment is absolutely my -go to- company when it comes to the variety of events I plan each year for my clients.  Todd is not only exceptional to work with as he is witty, fun and very detail oriented but his crew follows his lead beautifully. I always know that I am getting the quality service-performance for my client and it gives me peace of mind to be able to count on Todd for my one stop shop when it comes to all aspects of party planning and entertainment.  Not-to-mention the amazing advantage of having Todd teach the swing dancing as it takes the events to an entirely different level of FUNomenal. Thank you Todd for all that you are and all that you do and making my job easier and my clients happier  Lisa Charnes Owner C. C. et al A division of B.P. Productions   January 2013

Good morning Todd,  I was presented the photo cd and I reviewed it last night.  The photos came out great from your onsite photography staff and once again the music from your great band Bob’s yer Uncle was a big hit.

We would recommend both Todd and his band to anyone.  Derrick and Kirsten  –  December Wedding Bel Air Bay Club 2012

 

We recently celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary, and since we did not have a formal wedding -got married 50 years ago at City Hall, Los Angeles, we decided to have a big bash with 100+ of our friends !
We have been attending company parties -about for 10 yrs. that Todd Elliot Entertainment has worked at.  He has had his band Bobs yer Uncle perform among his other great services and we loved them all…so it was an easy decision for us to hire his full service company. We also hired his onsite coordination while he did strolling magic.  Other vendors we hired from him was his photographer, who did a great job while printing out photos onsite that night and videographer who captured the full reception. He and his wife performed dancing together and  with our guests to complete a ‘magical’ night to remember!
He is very professional,  and what was very important to us, is that he went above and beyond helping me.
So, if you want that special day to be perfect,  Todd Elliot is the person you want to hire!

Hi Todd, The Jumpin J band even did a fantastic job on my son’s song. Several people commented that this was the best music of any event they had ever attended -one is the principal of a religious school, which means she has attended probably 40 Bar mitzvah parties a year for the last 10 years…so that’s quite a tribute. Great music, excellent communication throughout.
Thanks for all your great work.

Todd, you helped us through our first dance. I’m glad we paid for some lessons. I was a bit of a perfectionist, but with the note you gave me to “have a little fun with it” we had a blast and it warmed everybody up towards the dance floor. The music at our wedding was perfect. Your band was very thorough with our plans and our playlist. Everything was well organized. They hit all the milestones in our timeline and had the dance floor packed. We received so many comments from the guests.
Thanks for everything and I will be referring you in the future.

Planning a wedding can be a very stressful time, especially the last month. I felt so comfortable knowing that you were always there to answer any questions and were always so quick to respond. The quality service you provided us with is far beyond what I expected and I deeply appreciate it. It is obvious that you take pride in what you do, and it shows. The Guitarist, Videographer, and DJ/MC were all so wonderful and we received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day so perfect. We will definetly be recommending you to family and friends.

Dear Todd,
Thank you again for your wonderful dance performances these past couple of months.  For starters, you and Kelly really made the party happen for our birthday client!  She couldn’t have been happier with your ballroom/swing dance performance and instruction.  You gave her exactly what she wanted – a dance party!  Thanks for making me a star planner for recommending that she have you there.  Certainly a win-win all the way around.
Secondly, I must also thank you for your fabulous showcase at the ISES event.  Your band was wonderful, upbeat and delivered great music.  The dance routines that you and Kelly demoed were energetic and fun; you certainly got everyone in the mood.  We thank you for your support and for showcasing and for making the evening such a success.
Looking forward to working with you again, and to making many more happy parties. April 2009

Hi Todd, Just got back this morning from our honeymoon on Maui and Kauai….awwwe
Todd, the wedding was PERFECT.  It was a real pleasure meeting You.  The TN Band and Bill your photographer were Incredible.  Thank you so much for ALL of your assistance. You really helped everything go smoothly, and we really, really appreciate it!
We have received so many compliments.   My parents have told me that they
have received numerous calls and emails stating how wonderful, elegant and fun the wedding was.  The band was ROCKIN everybody loved them!  And, Bill, he did a Fantastic job, and we really appreciate his patience and extra care!!!  He made sure he got all of the important shots, plus he through in his personal creative twist..
We were all very impressed with all of your services.  Nancy at Verandas even came up to me during the evening to let me know how great she thought you were.

Hi Todd, I wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed your band Bob’s yer Uncle.  What pros.  They were so NOT the typical wedding band. Throughout the reception people came up to me and asked “where did you find them?”
First off, they should up on time.  Two of them did cocktail music.  Later when the full band was assembled they read the crowd very well.  Dinner music with a little kick and then slowly built as people got up to dance.  I was glad we had worked out a time line before because when the band announced stuff like father daughter dance,  cutting the cake.  I was across the room and in the moment.  It would have all passed without them.  But they never inserted themselves into the party.  No goofy comments.
The musicians were top notch and the singers.  The guy sounded just like Barry White in one song.  The gal was perfect.  And they played a nice range of music which was important to me.  Motown, swing, etc. Just as you suggested when I saw that we had 30 more minutes in us.  I went to the side of the stage and quickly told George.  Who yelled to the band  30 minutes more.  Which was the perfect amount of time. All of the band members were polite, gracious and enthusiastic.  And I was not the only one who noticed that.  Many of my guests said so. As I told you before Todd, you have been a pleasure to work with.  Very professional and helpful.
Thank you so Much.

Katie Wiseley-Palmer
We absolutely loved the band and your services.  Bobbys Latin Band was better than I expected and I appreciated your help throughout the night.  Thank you so much for everything and making my wedding a complete success.

Liza Osbun
Hey Todd.
Thanks for the congrats sentiments.   Bill and his assistant did an awesome job at our wedding….we couldn’t have asked for anything better.  We zipped through the pre and post-ceremony shots and got to our cocktail party, which was important to us.  I think Bill was able to get some really good photos too despite the windy weather!  He even got my husbands bitterly divorced parents to take a photo together quite an accomplishment considering they don’t speak!  Thanks for all of your help in making our day great with the planning, timeline and your services.

Karen Kettering– Surprise party for her husband Todd
I was literally just sitting down to email you.Thank you , Thank you! The band was great and MADE the party! They stopped playing when I got the call he was approaching. He came in the backyard, we yelled Surprise, and for a moment he was speechless. Then as he tried to thank everyone for coming, he got all choked up so I cued the band to start playing -he didn’t even know they were here at that point and he looked up with a huge smile on his face like where’s this beautiful music coming from. He just loved it.
Everyone commented on how good they were, they sounded just like the band on the cruise they went on, etc, etc, So thank you , thank you. They were very professional and everyone danced!
Many thanks again from a very happy customer.

Hi Todd, You were super easy and extremely helpful to work with in my wedding planning. Your String group was wonderful. The ceremony music was perfect. And Bobs Yer Uncle was just awesome! The crowd didn’t stop dancing the entire night! From the wedding party and friends to all the parents, I got nothing but rave reviews on the band and told they were the most fun they’ve heard at any wedding. I knew they would be great, but they exceeded even my own expectations. I’ve never seen my dad dance like that! It was just awesome. Thanks again for everything.

Wow Todd, your full service company blew us away. Your DJ/MC/Lighting services, professional dance performance and interaction with guests were fantastic. The dance instruction beforehand for us really helped us for our first dance. The character acting and onsite coordination was top-notch.  We will be calling you again for future events as you kept the party rolling and everyone had a blast dancing.

Chris Toomey – President for Catholic Charities Organization and Other Local Benefit Events
Todd’s Live Music Bands are great. I’ve used them since 2001 with events of 200-250 guests that I chaired and been a guest another time at a party of 250 where I found them on the Millineum New Years Eve Party. I’d give ’em an A on all the points including Todd doing an excellent job planning the event & scheduling., etc. His bands really get the room rocking! They play a great variety of dinner music to upbeat dance stuff. He also does a great job interacting and making sure everyone is having a great time while coordinating onsite. He has also enhanced our events by performing/instructing Ballroom and Swing Dancing with a partner in that past which was fabulous.

Teri Ghaemmaghami -Regional Marketing Manager -MORRISON, FOERSTER LLP Lawfirm  12/08
“I was concerned about using a new DJ for my law firm’s holiday party. I had just taken over responsibility for it and needed to ensure that the first one I did was a great success. I decided to hire two dance couples to do an exhibit during dinner alla Dancing with the Stars and then provide dance lessons, a dance contest and use a DJ. I also wanted dance lessons leading up to the party. Todd was extremely dependable.
And, the dance couples, one of which was Todd, did a great job. Todd was responsive when handling the pre-party dance lessons and was just great at the actual show. I also got many compliments on his DJ, who also did a great job. He took requests before the party and that evening so everyone was happy.
