You won't be sorry!

Eric is simply phenomenal, he's very personable & does a great job of building rapport & getting to know his clients. He provides planning tools & software to help keep you organized & plan your day from ceremony to reception. My husband and I enjoyed all of our video chats with Eric, he is funny & knowledgeable of the wedding industry & seriously entertaining! Everyone at our wedding couldn't get enough of him, he kept us dancing & made sure to play my favorite songs as planned. The introductions and our Love Story were such funny & special moments I will never forget. There is simply no other DJ & Master of Ceremonies like Eric!

The Best Day

Eric made our special day the party we wanted and more! The preparation and time he took into making our wedding the best day was unlike any DJ I've met before. I was fortunate enough to experience Eric's DJ style at a family members wedding, and five years later I knew he should be my first call to book entertainment for our big day. When booking with Eric my number one requirement was I wanted a wedding where everyone was out on the dance floor until the end of the night, and he delivered. He was a great decision for our wedding, and I know he will equally pass his skills to the next happy couple.

The Best DJ Award Goes To...

ERIC HEROD!

Eric is just fantastic, and everyone in need of a DJ should hire him. We knew immediately during our first video call with him that he was our guy!

The care and attention to detail Eric provides to curate a spectacular event is unmatched. Finding a DJ is not just about playing the music, it’s about somebody that can entertain your guests throughout the entire day, seamlessly transitioning from one moment to the next and ensuring the guests are properly entertained and moved with emotions. Eric provided all of these things and more for us and we are so grateful.

Our Wedding Day ran so smoothly, largely in part to Eric being on top of it the whole day! You’ll see reviews about his signature Love Story Recording he does for couples, and let me tell you…that was amazing. Eric is fun to work with, easy to laugh with, and I can’t even begin to explain how many of our guests keep telling us how wonderful he was. One of my bridesmaids attended seven weddings throughout the past year, and she said he was HANDS DOWN the best DJ she’d ever seen. We’ll recommend him to everyone we know and hope one day to work with him again. Trust me, you need Eric!!

Eric was absolutely wonderful. He came to the table bringing a bunch of ideas to help create a memorable and unique wedding experience. He was also about to accommodate various requests and ideas. He was incredibly professional and overall very warm so it was super easy to work with him. I highly recommend him for any event you may have.

Everyone was on the dance floor!

Eric was such an amazing DJ! We got so many questions and compliments about the music at our wedding. The music was amazing, from one song to the next, we never wanted to get off the dance floor, and neither did our guests! Eric even did the Wobble with us! Eric adding our Love Story into our day was the perfect touch. It really helped share our story with our friends and family in such a special way, and it left little surprises for us throughout the night. It was such a unique way to personalize the experience and share our story.

Friendly, dependable, fun vibe DJ

With planning an out of state wedding, we wanted to hire a person that could provide ceremony sound and music throughout our entire reception to simplify the process for us. Eric's personality quickly stood out to us and we reached out for a consultation. From the consultation to the last song of our reception, we knew we were in great hands. He dialed into all virtual planning meeting ready with an agenda to make the calls productive and stress-free. Fast forward to our wedding day, ceremony sound went perfectly (only the songs we requested) and reception playlists were what we were looking for. Eric followed our timeline but also was adaptable if something changed. He was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Eric if you are looking for someone who will listen to your music requests (actually play them) but also put his own personal twist on the reception to make your wedding unique. We look forward to listening to our open dancing playlist for years to come to remember such a wonderful, fun evening celebrating our wedding day!

Best DJ Ever!!

I had Eric as a 6th grade teacher where I also became friends with my best man so it just made perfect sense to book him as our wedding DJ. He kept the guests on the dance floor all night and he pretty much doubles as a wedding planner since he plans details down to the minute. He has a cool twist called the love story where he has both the bride and groom record a session without each other about how the two of you fell in love and came to be, never seen anything like it at a wedding before. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ
