About Elite Productions & Our DJ's
Elite Productions is a local DJ company owned by Joel & Ashlee Swartzlander. Joel handles all of the DJ aspects of the company while Ashlee handles the Wedding and Event Planning portion of the company. Read all about Ashlee and Wedding/Event Planning Details HERE.
We have been in business for over 5 years now and Joel has DJ'd well over 100 weddings across Montana, Idaho & Nevada and Ashlee has planned numerous events and weddings.
I
(Joel) have been DJ'ing since I was 14 or so, starting out at the "Roller
Kingdom" in Reno, NV. I learned quite a bit about the psychology of music
there, learning a lot from the owner who was a DJ himself. Eventually
I "graduated" into radio DJ'ing and did that for a few years in Reno, NV and
started DJ'ing school dances and other various events around the city.
Working with Brad (the roller rink owner) I began DJ'ing weddings
alongside him, learning the "ins and outs" of being a successful and
professional DJ. I then moved to Missoula, MT and became friends with someone
who was also very passionate about music and I decided I was going to become a
full time DJ. We built a very good, well known DJ business there, DJ'ing everything
from weddings to holiday parties and everything in-between. I then met
Ashlee who was in Missoula for a work project, fell in love, and got
married. I then moved with her to Meridian, ID. She supported me and my
business ideas and suggested I follow my dream to become the largest DJ
"empire" in Idaho.. haha..
Which brings me to now.. I have successfully gained a partnership with
David's Bridal, expanded my business into Event Planning with my wife, and
hired/trained new DJ's to work under me. Thank you all for taking the
time to read this. I hope I can someday DJ your event and who knows.. maybe
my dream to become a DJ "Empire" will come true... until then.. all I can do
is try..

Fast forward many years into the future and here I am
back to being a DJ with Joel, the most creative and knowledgeable DJ I have
heard in a long time (shameless plug for you Joel on my BIO). My music
interest range from old/new school hip hop to Miles Davis, I also listen to
classical and country, even an opera once and a while. SO let ELITE
PRODUCTIONS be your choice for music on your special day.
