What's the only bad thing about owning a DJ company?
It's that so many Brides and Grooms think you don't do weddings
anymore!
Trust us, Mike hasn't hung up his microphone just yet. In
fact he tells us, "Entertaining and DJing is still my
passion. I mean all the other stuff that comes along with
owning a company is cool too, but I got into this business
years ago to interact with people and to perform!"
A graduate of the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, Mike has
used his smooth emceeing style and outgoing personality to
forge a career as one of the nations top emcee/entertainers.
He is a featured spokesperson at many of the area's top Bridal
Shows and has emceed at events including concerts, beauty
pageants and fashion shows. He is also a guest speaker at
various DJ Expos across the country, sharing his knowledge
and experience with other DJs in hopes of raising the industry
to new heights of respect and professionalism. Along those
lines Mike is also a contributing writer to a number of DJ
Industry Publications, including Disc Jockey News
and Mobile Beat - The Mobile Entertainer's Magazine.
As owner of Elite Entertainment, Mike has guided the company
for over a dozen years. Having bought out Eric Taylor in 1997,
he has had a singular vision for how Elite would be run. "Our
aim is to provide THE BEST customer service. I mean, even
if a client doesn't book with us, for whatever reason, we
want them to walk away saying, 'Wow Elite Entertainment is
made up of great people.' That's our ultimate goal."
Mike's influence is seen best in the talent at Elite. He has personally
trained every emcee on staff. And though everyone takes on
their own style eventually, it's the core knowledge of the
DJ business that Mike imparts to them that gets everyone started.
The fringe benefit of all that training? Mike tells us: "I
had read once that 'to teach is to learn twice.' And I can
tell you flat out that that is true. From the very first Emcees
I trained to the current students I am working with now, every
training class teaches ME something about the business. It's
amazing!"
So when you think about what you want in the entertainer for
your big day, ask yourself if these traits are important:
* An impeccable track record for providing excellent entertainment
* Over 15 years of experience
* A wealth of knowledge
* Someone who will work closely with you to bring the vision
that you have for your big day to reality.
If the answer is "Yes!" then look no further then the
owner of Elite Entertainment, Mike Walter...just don't ask
him if he still does weddings!
