Highly recommend Eric for DJing weddings!
During the quoting process, we worked with his booking agent, Tracy, who provided several flexible options for how the event could be handled, which helped us find the right fit for our needs and budget.
Eric also offered to meet us at a coffee shop to walk through the entire event, which we really appreciated. We discussed our music tastes, must‑have songs, songs to avoid, and the logistics of the venue—including how many DJ tables we’d need. Our venue was a historic home with no traditional stage or designated dance area, but Eric came prepared with creative ideas to make it work.
On wedding day, everything was set up and ready to go well before the event started. Eric set up two DJ tables and created a dance floor with lighting that completely transformed the space. He played all of our must‑have songs and did an excellent job building playlists between key moments based on our music tastes and favorite artists. His MCing kept the day running smoothly and helped everything feel seamless.
We highly recommend Eric for weddings or any large event—his attention to detail really made a difference on our big day!
Everything was perfect!
