Derek was a great DJ for our wedding events!

We worked with Derek on 2 events- our Sangeet and wedding reception. Prior to the events he met with us, made sure he had all the needed playlists and even gave him own input and ideas on recommendations for when we would need certain songs and things. I found it very easy to communicate with him. He was also so genuine and really seems to enjoy working as a DJ. I would definitely recommend Derek for any events!

Incredible!

Here’s your review translated into natural, polished English:

Dj Derek is simply the best at everything he does—music, lighting, and creating an amazing dance floor atmosphere. He completely exceeded our expectations. He played every song we requested and kept our guests dancing all night long.

His charisma and energy won everyone over at our wedding. Without a doubt, hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our event. Don’t hesitate to book him—it will be the best money you ever spend.

If we ever host another event, we would hire him again without a second thought.

Ramos Wedding (Dj Derek)

Derek was absolutely phenomenal. Our day was a crazy one with rain messing up our original plans of having our wedding outside but truly what saved it all was how amazing our DJ and MC were. Derek made the party so much fun and in the end that’s what everyone remembers that it was a party for the ages. My wife and I truly wanted a party where everyone danced all night and Derek delivered that for us. I highly recommend using him if you can!

Perfect Dj for our wedding!

We could not have had a better experience. We had a set playlist for each portion of the night and he not only did that flawlessly, he blended the music. He also brought an amazing energy to the evening. 10 out of 10.

Our Reception Turned Into a RAVE!!! and I love it!

DJ Derek literally nailed every single details on my timelines and music requests ( jazz for dinner, announcing and coordinating for our sister to sing for our first dance, EDM: trap and dubsteps for the party). After my first dance, my reception turned into a rave for 2 hours …even our parents and aunties danced all night long, we also had a couple people crashed our wedding which I didn’t mind at all. Everyone was having a good time.

An Unforgettable DJ Experience in Cancun!

We had Derek as our DJ for our wedding in Cancun this past January, and he was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, Derek was fun, enthusiastic, and so easy to work with. He played almost every song from our playlist, but what really impressed us was how he went above and beyond to find Sri Lankan music on his own, something that meant a lot to us and made the night even more special. Derek has an amazing ability to read the crowd and keep the energy alive. He mixed in everything from house music to 90s throwbacks, and our guests never stopped dancing. His friendly personality, professionalism, and passion for music really shone through. If you’re looking for a DJ who will not only deliver but exceed your expectations, Derek is the one. We couldn’t recommend him enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
