I have wanted to perfect my skills as a dancer for over a year now. I found out about Elegance…read morewhile strolling through Stonebriar Mall and decided now is the time. When I first walked in I was greeted by the receptionist we chatted briefly about the upcoming dance lesson and then she gave me a form to fill out. She also offer me a glass of wine or a bottle of water which was nice. The ballroom has a large dance floor with a seating area off to the side. There is a short red carpet leading up to a portion of the seating area as well. In the corner there is a stage complete with curtain string lights. There is also a larger lounge seating area on the other side of the dance floor, however you must be on the dance floor to see it or you can access it from the outside via the first entrance; the second entrance is where the receptionist is located and is where I entered for my dance lesson. After completing the form a gentleman came over and followed up with me about my responses to the questions on the form and explained more about what to expect during and after my lesson. He also informed me that my instructor would be Fred, who is owner of the studio and who also has years of dancing experience. After a few minutes, Fred came over and introduced himself to me. During the lesson he explained everything clearly and gave me background information on the dances we were doing. He was patient and upbeat which made me feel less nervous about stepping on his feet. The time flew by, the lesson was fun and I look forward to returning for my next lesson! Currently, they are offering an introductory package that includes 3 half hour private lessons, one group lesson and one dance party for $45 per person/couple.

Paul DJ'd my daughters wedding on May 26th. He is an incredible person and made the evening…read moreunforgettable. He was early to the venue to ensure everything ran smoothly, he played a great list of music to include my last minute request (Bodies by Drowning Pool). My daughter and her husband had such a great time dancing as well as all of our wedding guests. Two of our guests who will be married in October also booked Paul after seeing him in action. Thank you Paul. We had a great time. Highly recommend you book him for your wedding or any event!!

In searching for a DJ for my daughter's wedding, I quickly realized that the Big DJ companies don't…read moreeven know who will be leading your event until the day before. That means, you cannot speak with the person who will be the Master of Ceremonies for one of the most important events in your life. I found Paul Viola through a recommendation from another DJ! Now, that's a great compliment. From the 1st phone call, we knew he was a great fit for us. When we met face to face Paul took the time to explain the whole process and how to select all our own music through his online system - very cool. One of my biggest pet peeves is not being able to understand someone on a microphone. I told Paul I was hard of hearing, and all night long he spoke clearly. I was so impressed that he cared. He listened to the Bride and Groom's heart and really cared about their wishes from the opening of the ceremony to the last dance. Everything went smoothly and Paul didn't make the night "all about him" as I have witnessed some DJs do. Paul even provided the microphone and speakers for my husband when he played guitar and sang for our daughter, the bride. Paul was amazing, professional, detail oriented and FUN (he has an infectious smile!). We recommend Paul Viola 100%! Thanks, Paul!

The owner of our venue loved the lighting so much she was asking us how much they might charge her to keep all of the equipment lol! Will update with photos once I have some from the photographer.

Highest of Fives for Carol Marks Music! We used Carol Marks Music & Entertainment for a conference…read morewe had in Dallas. All the musicians were phenomenal - they were so professional, on time, and very talented. We had a pipe and drum group cancel on us a week before the conference and Carol and Melissa were able to put together a group of stand alone performers to make up what we needed. In the end it looked like they were a cohesive group. They certainly pulled off a miracle for us and were so great to work with. I highly recommend.

I was incredibly disappointed in the service I was given over this past weekend. Our wedding was…read moreJune 4th, and unfortunately our special day was not a top priority for DJ Mike. When I communicated a certain genre to DJ Mike, he would laugh at me and say, "I get it, I get it. You like country". Yes, we are country music fans. I had numerous conversations via phone calls and emails about what I had expected for my wedding. I communicated everything very clearly, with timelines, song times, certain songs, ect. I even typed up the songs with times of when to start them. I had a certain song I wanted played right after we said "I do", and Mike was fully aware of what was expected before, during and after my ceremony. We were absolutely humiliated when after we said "I do", our song did not play so we had to awkwardly walk down the isle to no music. DJ Mike sprinted outside the doors after we had already made it down the isle. We were so embarrassed, that I went into my bridal suite and cried. I had also communicated what was expected during the reception. I told him requests were allowed. I had multiple friend and family members request songs that he would not play. I had also requested prior to the day, certain songs to be played, that he did not play. He played several songs multiple times, including an annoying Miley Cyrus song that people were sick of hearing. We heard that specific song 3 times that night. You only get married once (for some anyways), and you want that special night to be perfect and go a specific way, especially when you've been planning and creating that evening for years. I wouldn't wish the humiliation that I felt yesterday on anybody. For as long as we're alive, we will never forget the embarrassment we felt up there at that altar. DJ Mike took our special moment from us and we will never get it back. It was completely ruined because of him.
