Masterclass in Spinning

Eric is an absolute professional in getting the dance floor rugs cut. One of the great things about the experience was the pre-wedding check-ins: making sure he understands what type of music you want played, but also allows for you to let him run the show. This is great for people either want to stick to a certain theme, or are fluid to letting him curate the selection. He has all the ceremony/reception/speeches/first dances portion down and necessary equipment to make it run smoothly. Then comes the party and boy does he bring it! We only had a few song requests and general genres we wanted played and Eric delivered in spades. All our friends were dancing until the venue lights came on. I would highly recommend booking Eric for your party!

Couldn't have had a better experience

Working with Eric was one of the easiest and best decisions we could have made for our wedding. It was really important to us to have a full dance floor and we got exactly that! Eric really took the time to get to get to know us before the big day and did an outstanding job reading the room in the moment. We got so many compliments on his DJ skills, not to mention the vinyl turntables. 10/10 experience all around.

Best DJ in PDX!

We hired Eric (DJ Aquaman) for our wedding in Oct. 2024. The communication prior to the wedding was top notch. He helped us build our music lists, and made suggestion that really made us think of songs from childhood that we wouldn't have included otherwise! We are so happy with our choice, and highly recommend him for any wedding! Thanks Eric!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
