Simply the BEST!

Derek was recommended to us by a family friend for our wedding on 5/28/2023. Derek is an extremely kind, patient, and accommodating individual. He went above and beyond to make sure that planning our event went smoothly (inviting us to see his warehouse to pick out particular up-lighting colors, showing us his photobooth and how it worked, and keeping everything organized/documented). Derek kept an open line of communication and was always willing to answer any questions we had.
On the Monday before our wedding, we were notified that our original venue had a fire and that we needed to find a new location before our Sunday wedding. Not only did Derek reach out to us to see how we were doing, but he was so incredibly helpful and flexible with our change of venue.
When our wedding day arrived (in its new location), Derek showed up early to ensure that everything was set up according to our plan. He worked seamlessly with our other vendors, triple checking everyone's names were correct, sound checking, and making sure everything was ready for the evening.
Our music throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and our reception was absolutely perfect. Derek perfectly timed our processional and recessional songs as well as our intros into the reception. During our reception, Derek kept everyone up and dancing, playing the perfect mix of songs that we had discussed. Our wedding guests could not stop commenting on how amazing the night was and how much fun they had because of Derek! Thank you Derek, for your extreme professionalism and talent! You really made our wedding unforgettable!!

The Perfect DJ

Derek was phenomenal!!! He made the process so easy every step of the way. He did our ceremony music as well as our reception. We gave him a few song ideas and he was able to put together the perfect playlist. He was extremely professional and courteous. His services offer a photo booth which was so much fun for us and our guests! Highly recommend Derek!

The easy choice

THE EASY CHOICE!

Derek knows what he is doing. The whole night, the dance floor was full and every song flowed together perfectly. He took our music list and catered it to everyone, young and old too.

His equipment produced high quality sound, his photobooth created incredible photos and the lights that he bring create the perfect lighted atmosphere for a wedding.

Derek really made my wedding perfect for my wife and I. I would highly recommend Derek.
