The best dj

From start to finish, working with Derek was an absolute pleasure! He is hands down the best DJ I have ever worked with. Derek really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for, and more importantly, he respected what we didn't want, which was a huge relief. The dance floor was packed all night long—guests were so into the music that we didn’t even need the fire pit or s'more bar we had set up as a backup! It was clear that Derek knew exactly how to keep the party going. If you're looking for a DJ who listens, knows how to read the room, and makes sure everyone has the time of their lives, Derek is the one!

DJ Perfection

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Derek! From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive and kind, taking the time to really listen to what we wanted for both our ceremony and the evening reception. His attention to detail and ability to read the room made everything flow seamlessly, creating the exact atmosphere we were hoping for. If you want a DJ who listens, cares, and delivers the perfect vibe, we highly recommend him!

Entertainment should always be top of your priority list when planning a wedding. The music helps the overall atmosphere, which makes weddings wow! Derek definitely delivers. He's got you covered music wise, playing your hand-selected favorites, but also can help you coordinate your dances being an instructor himself. He's truly got it all and a great attitude to make the process easy along the way. DJ Tobler is a wedding day must have!
