Our Dance Floor Was Full The Whole Night

Erik was possibly the most integral part of our party without being overbearing or drawing too much attention to himself, which is a delicate balance but he nailed it. We were looking for a DJ who would be able to start and keep the party going for our multi-generational guest list, but who would also bring a chill vibe behind the booth. Erik was professional and respectful while also slaying his set list and keeping our friends and family on their feet for over 2 hours. We sent him some slow songs in case of a lull during dessert but he didn't even have to play them because the music was too good and there was never a lull on the dance floor. We have had multiple friends and family members comment on how great the music and the DJ were, which I think speaks for itself. Highly, highly recommend Erik!

Awesome DJ!

We hired DJ Erik for our a few different events this past school year, and he completely exceeded our expectations! From the very beginning, communication was smooth and professional. He took the time to understand our music preferences, schedule, and age ranges of our students. For our Dance-a-Thon, DJ Erik played three back to back sessions for three different age groups in grades PreK through 8th grade, and did a great job playing music that was appropriate for the different grade bands. He brought very high energy that kept our students dancing the entire time! Overall, DJ Erik is extremely professional, punctual, engaging, and super friendly. We highly recommend him for any event and will definitely work with him again in the future.

Absolutely Amazing!!!!

Erik made it his mission to make sure our special day was nothing short of memorable. He was always available to respond to any and every text or email that I sent, which I’ll admit can be a lot for some. The day of he filled the room with the love of our favorite songs and had everyone including my mom on the dance floor, which never happens 😄. Some family members got so lost in the songs their shoes were off, and they were completely barefoot. Safe to say our reception is still the highlight of family get togethers, and at the center of it all is our forever DJ, Erik. If you are looking for someone amazing, who gets the spirit of love, and can make it the most musically festive event then look to Erik. He’s the absolute best!

He made the grumpiest little old lady at our wedding get up and start shaking her butt. That's an A+🤙🏼

He was wonderful. We didn't have to communicate much. A couple of times when we were first booking Erik and then the week or so before their wedding . Once I created my playlists on Spotify. I was able to add songs and take songs out which made it easy for the both of us. I had three playlists, one for the cocktail hour , the reception and our bass house dance party at the end of the night. All on Spotify, I labeled the times for him to transition in the title of the playlists. I gave Erik 10 hours of music for 5 hours of partying.
Just trust him and let cook. Let your guests request songs too. They got a kick out of that and they said Erik was easy and made them feel comfortable when they requested the a song.
We did his disco lights for the dance floor which came with the package we got. They added to the fun.
He made the stiffest and grumpiest little old lady at our wedding get up and start shaking her butt. That's an A+🤙🏼

Thank you DJ Erik.
