As I'm sure you can tell by the rest of these reviews, Derek is the DJ that you want for your wedding. He was extremely easy to work with and he is VERY good at what he does. He was also very professional and on top of things.

In addition to being our DJ, he also helped my wife and I prepare for our first dance with a dancing lesson, which was GREAT, because I'm terrible at dancing. He then took the time to custom-mix the wedding party introduction song for our reception, and it was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to do.

Derek, thank you!

We recently had Derek DJ our ceremony and wedding and he was absolutely perfect. I was a little nervous at first without experiencing him on the job before and meeting for the first time at our wedding but as soon as he started playing the first song, I turned to my friend and said "this guy is good!". He was very professional, played every song that we requested and he really had a feel for the group and what songs to play and when. I couldn't be happier with using him as our DJ. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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!
