Owner/DJ: Mick Scrivener
"I am the owner of Elite British DJ. Music is my passion, and I consider myself the luckiest man alive to be able to work in an industry that I love. After growing up near London and serving 6 years in the Royal Navy (in which I began DJ'ing in 1988), I relocated to America in 1993.
While living in Tampa, I began working for a DJ company, and learned the ways of American weddings (which are very different than those in England!). In 1996, I moved to New York, where I worked primarily in the brokerage business. Unfortunately, the often cheesy style of New York DJs did not fit well with me, and I began declining more DJ bookings. Instead, I chose to concentrate on the Brokerage side of my career, where I became a Corporate Vice President in the firm.
In 2000, I moved to San Diego to manage a department for an acquired firm, and in 2001 married my beautiful wife Julie (who is also a wedding planner!). Unfortunately, our DJ was not able to deliver on many of his promises, and I decided then that I was going to get back in the business full time! In 2005, I quit my job in the brokerage world to begin a new career as a full time DJ, averaging about 90 weddings a year since. I have performed close to 1500 events since I started, and still love what I do as much as I did when I first began.
My goal is to help make your wedding day the most memorable day of your life, meaning that every client and event are treated with careful thought. Customer service is very important to me, and I want to feel like part of your wedding instead of just hired help. The biggest testimonial I can share is that 75% of our business is referral-based! At one of our weddings last year, 5 couples out of 40 had been past clients of Julie and me! I look forward to speaking with you about your event soon!"

"I was born in London, England and started my DJ career in 1990. The first three years of my career was spent playing music in clubs and pubs in the London area. I then left England to explore the world and play music at various venues throughout Spain, Germany and France. About 7 years ago, I found my way across the oceans to the most beautiful city of San Diego. San Diego is a wonderful place and I feel truly lucky to be here.
In the past 20 years, I have performed in well over 1200 weddings and special events. I love my job as a wedding DJ so much because I get to share the experience with the brides and grooms and enjoy the most special day of their lives.
I am very well-rounded, intuitive and experienced which is crucial for a highly organized and smooth running wedding. The fun begins when I meet the bride and groom in the initial meeting to discuss the flow of the wedding and their musical selection. I am happy to customize each wedding to the couples needs. My brides and grooms have become my friends and have given me many referrals over time. In fact, over 50% of weddings I book are through a referral basis. My clients understand that the package includes a completely professional service that exceeds your expectations. Some brides and grooms also trust me in musical choices throughout the wedding with such experience I can feel and see exactly what the crowd needs and ensure that the dance floor is always full. My favorite thing about weddings is seeing the diversity, colorful and creative ideas put into action, visiting different venues, seeing all kinds of menus, dresses, flowers, etc. It's not just a job for me- this is about seeing people in their happiest moment."
