Here is a note from DJ Erik on what it is like to work with him:

I like to keep things easy.

We’ll talk ahead of time—email, call, text, whatever works. I’ll ask the right questions and then I’ll take it from there. I’ll show up early. I’ll coordinate with whoever’s running the show that day and make sure we’re good and prepared for anything.

If the timeline changes, no stress—I adapt fast and keep things good vibes all the time.

I liked being able to say: "Yes, we can do that." Or: "Let me make it better for you." On your special day, you will feel like I am 100% focused on you and your needs, making the party not just fun but also hopefully stress-free!

You choice in DJ is so important, it brings all of what you value together into one special night for you and your friends and family. It is my privilege and utmost regard to provide musical entertainment for your upcoming special occasion. I hope to chat soon, and look forward to hearing about your plans for your big day!

Audience reviews from 2025:

"I would like to say Thumbtack should allow the option to select ALL 5 areas of what we loved about Erik. He was amazing. I have absolutely no complainants or suggestions for improvement. He captured the culture of my family through our music and brought back a flood of memories for my husband and his family through a beautiful selection of songs played at our wedding. Erik has such a calming peaceful energy, and it was a blessing to work with him. He made our wedding night something to remember. He even got my mom to get up and get on the dance floor. His prices are fair and his personality is A1. If you are looking for a DJ he’s the guy that you want for any occasion. HE BRINGS THE SPIRIT that any wedding could possibly need."

"From the very start, he was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with."
