Awesome Party DJ!!

DJ Derik DJed our wedding and absolutely crushed it! The dancing music was a mix of songs we provided plus some and we were able to time the portions of songs we wanted for our first dance, father/bride dance and mother/groom dance, etc. He absolutely nailed it, his speaker and DJ setup is top notch and he made the day that much more special and seamless and worry-free! I would recommend DJ Derik to anyone hosting a wedding or party. Hands down

Ralls wedding June 20th, 2026

DJ Derik was absolutely incredible. From the start, he felt like family- genuine, kind, and fully invested in making our day perfect. He was flexible with every detail and kept communication seamless. We had zero worries, knowing he had everything covered. We cannot recommend DJ Derik enough and will definitely hire him again for any future event. He’s truly part of our celebration family now! We love ya! -The Ralls, the Minors, the Noders, and the Graves.

Best Wedding DJ Experience Possible

Linking up with Derik was the best decision we could have made for our wedding DJ. He was very open to meeting multiple times before our special day, and truly making sure an excited and anxious couple felt perfect about the plan going in. Derik provided us insight on our timeline and overall gameplan and his expertise was very much appreciated. Appreciate you listening to our concerns and executing a flawless night!!

Very professional and fun!

DJ Derik was referred to us by a friend for our daughter’s wedding. From the very first communication he was friendly and high energy! He is organized and even kept an eye on the timeline for us with announcements and coordination with the caterer to make sure things ran smoothly. He made the music choices easy by providing online forms to truly customize our experience. He was great at reading the room too! The music was fun and kept people moving.
We would hire him again!

Great Wedding DJ and Photobooth

DJ Derik was a breath of fresh air when we were looking for a dj for our wedding. He was kind, quick, professional, and above all a very reasonable price! If I had to have a criticism, is that we didn't get all of our requested songs played, but DJ Derik explained well in advanced why that might be the case. Overall a great experience!

DJ Derik is the best!!

We hired DJ Derik for our wedding and he was phenomenal. Not only with his professional set up, punctuality, and ability to get the crowd going but also by being a great person to work with! He really wants to make your day the best it can be. As a musician/performer myself, I had very high expectations and Derik blew them all away!

A true class act and you’d be lucky to have him for any event! Thanks Derik!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
