    Absolutely above and beyond DJ experience!

    We were connected to Erikson (DJ Wordless) and his father Renell through DJ Backspin, and could not be happier with the overall experience. From day one, communication from all involved parties and the handoff itself was seamless and thorough. We came in with some concerns (not having a clear idea of what music to play during the reception, being awkward on the dance floor, wanting very specific edits to our dance songs, etc.) but we were quickly reassured that we'd be in great hands.

    We had multiple calls with Erikson and Renell leading up to the wedding where we reviewed timeline, song choices, and requested song edits. Erikson even gave us multiple edited versions of the father-daughter dance so I could choose my preference! This did SO much to relieve some of the anxiety that comes with wedding planning, and also allowed us to get to know the father-son duo better (Renell's dad jokes are 10/10).

    On the day of, absolutely everything went perfectly - ceremony music, song transitions, cues and introductions from Renell - we couldn't be happier. If you need proof of how good Erikson is at reading a room and keeping the party going, just know that my husband and I are very awkward people who do not dance at ALL and we were jumping up and down on the dance floor screaming along to the songs at the top of our lungs!

    Overall we are so pleased that we had DJs that we could trust entirely. Our friends and family were coming up to us all night complimenting Erikson and Renell, and even asking whether they were using a playlist we had made because it seemed to suit us so perfectly. It was great to be able to say "nope, this is 100% all them!" and know our loved ones were having an amazing time.

    I don't know if we personally will need DJs again in the near future but Erikson will be the first person I think of; in the meantime I cannot recommend DJ Backspin / Erikson and Renell enough.

    Freddy is outstanding!

    Freddy was a joy to work with—professional and creative and dynamic and kind. He provided thoughtful guidance and supportive structure from the beginning of the process through to the end. We wish we could throw a million more weddings, so we could keep collaborating with Freddy!

    Dee jay backspin

    Shout out to Freddy (DJ backspin). He was a great DJ / MC of my wedding. He kept everyone engaged throughout the reception and kept people dancing all night. He was the ultimate professional throughout our wedding process and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding. He knew how to read the room and play music that all of the guests to enjoy. Helped make me and my wife’s night memorable!

    Highly Recommend!!

    Freddy was incredible! He was helpful in the planning and execution of all the details of our special day. He was not only a great DJ but also a very helpful MC! He turned into the defacto event coordinator of the day and took this in stride. We are so grateful for his positive energy, flexibility, and genuine interest in making our day (and the dancing) perfect!

    Great for Multicultural Weddings

    Freddy cares deeply about his clients, and is a true professional in his field. Our experience with wedding planning was really rocky - but working with Freddy was smooth and enjoyable. He took the time to truly understand not only our musical preferences, but the cultures that would be represented at our wedding, and explored with us how to curate a playlist that made everyone happy. On the day of, Freddy MC’d with enthusiasm, and seamlessly, thoughtfully and respectfully guided us through a moment of family turbulence… our guests didn’t even notice. Folks from both of our families wanted DJ Backspin’s contact information by the end of the night! Affordable without sacrificing quality. We can’t recommend him highly enough, and are so grateful for the memories he helped us to create.

    The Best Wedding Destination DJ!

    Freddy aka “DJBackspin” was an amazing DJ for our destination wedding in San Juan, Puerto Rico! From the start, he was able to help us coordinate and bring our special day to life. very detailed and organized to understand your bridal party, family and expectations of music and overall enjoyment, Freddy knew exactly how to execute this task from start to finish. His professionalism, awesome attitude and understanding of clients wants and needs were impeccable and i am so thankful we were able to have him Dj our wedding!

    10/10 would definitely work with DJ Backspin again!

    I remember reaching out to him earlier this year and being nervous that he was not available for our date, because when we saw his Instagram and his feature for Boston Weddings, we just KNEW he was the DJ we wanted/needed for our reception. Luckily for us though, he was available! For the better part of 2022, Freddy has been amazingly communicative, and super organized which when planning a wedding, are both key factors in making sure your big day goes as smoothly as possible. We did two planning meetings with Freddy and he just immediately understood exactly what we were looking for right off the bat, and when the time came for our reception, he BROUGHT THE PARTY! Besides that, all throughout the night he was frequently checking in with me and my husband, making sure that everything was alright and that we didn’t need anything else from him. It was so great to have such an attentive DJ who listens and just knows exactly what to do, and can expertly read the room. Our guests cannot stop raving about how great he was! If you are lucky enough to be able to book Freddy for your event, you definitely will not regret it.

    Dj Backspin Entertainment's reply:

    Wow thank you for such an amazing review. That really means a lot. It was a pleasure to be apart of your special day. Everything was perfect and you both were awesome to work with! I wish you the absolute best with your future! Thanks for believing in me to be your wedding DJ! Peace & blessings!

    If you want a good dancefloor, work with Freddy

    An exceptional DJ is responsive, organized, creative, and intuitive - that's Freddy. We hired Freddy based on the amazing reviews but also because he truly knows how to work with a diverse set of crowds - not only does he do more personal events like weddings, but he also can create the perfect ambience at an outdoor bar (which we got to experience) or a fun club - just checkout his Instagram! While yes, we were at my wedding, I felt like our dancefloor could have been at a bar - and that's what I wanted. Moreover, Freddy is detail-oriented - he made sure we had the right Greek music ready-to-go and checked in with us on what we were feeling at the time; he made sure he knew our first dance to perfectly time the music fading out. Our friends couldn't stop saying how much they loved our DJ with one person saying "he's not just playing a song...he was mixing!" Thank you, thank you, Freddy. You made our dreams come true and I cannot express how much I appreciate your talent.

    Set a great mood

    DJ Backspin Entertainment is a fantastic choice for a wedding DJ. We worked with DJ Renzo, and he was absolutely fabulous. He walked us through the whole process, making sure that no detail was left out. He was so fun, and helped set a great mood at our wedding. A super extensive catalogue of music. Highly recommend!

    DJ Backspin: Amazing! Best wedding DJ! So easy to work with!

    DJ Backspin was so easy to work with! He was always very kind and professional in our correspondences. He was incredibly responsive to emails and very thorough when we discussed details over the phone. When the day of our wedding arrived, I wasn't nervous at all about the music or sound system for speeches! I just knew based on all of our interactions with DJ Backspin that it would all be great. His online portal made everything so easy and smooth. His attention to detail was amazing. All of my friends and family complimented the music throughout the wedding!!! People were having such a great time on the dance floor. I was SO happy we got to work with DJ Backspin.

    Dj Backspin Entertainment's reply:

    Susan I want to Thank you and Andrew for trusting in my services for your special day. I had an amazing time providing the soundtrack for your friends and family. The day was perfect, and I am so happy for you both. Best wishes with everything!

    DJ Backspin blew us away! From the professionalism and attention to detail leading up to the celebration to the showmanship the day of, we couldn’t have had the kind of wedding we wanted without him. He really helped us have a PARTY, with the exact music we dreamed of. I would recommend him for a wedding or any special event!

    Wedding by the Ocean

    I stated to work with DJ Freddy for our weeding in June 2022. He recommended us one of his partners DJ Renzo. What a pleasure working with him. We meet prior to the the date, went over all the details of the night and a list of songs we wanted to play. He kept the party going the day of the wedding. The night was a full of energy, our guest never stopped dancing until the end. Could have not asked for a better person. You will not be disappointed with this company and services.

    Dj Backspin Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much for booking with us. I am happy to hear your wedding day was amazing. Renzo is an true professional, and great to work with. We wish you all the best!

    Hands down best

    My friends and family still talk about how absolutely great DJ Backspin is. He was one of the best parts about our wedding and made it so fun. We're so happy he was a part of our day and made the whole process super clear, fun and easy. He's incredibly talented, kind and all around awesome to work with. He was really helpful with suggestions when we needed them and catered the day exactly around what we wanted. We didn't feel any pressure to do anything that didn't feel like us and he kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. We're so grateful that he was available and would absolutely recommended him to anyone!

    Crowd Favorite

    I knew I had to book him because he was originally my sister’s Wedding DJ in 2019 and he had us all dancing the night away. It was such a blast. Fast forward to my own wedding 2/22/22 he delivered yet again!! Turned my normally shy groom/husband into a dancing machine. All the guests had nothing but great things to say about the music. Do yourself a favor and book with the best!

    Micro Wedding with Big Wedding Vibes

    We never envisioned having a micro wedding. Our families were just too big and too close knit! We also wanted to bring both cultures together for a wonderful Cape Verdean/Indian wedding. But Covid made it nearly impossible to plan a safe big wedding. So we compromised on the guest list (from 200 plus to 8 guests).

    We didn't want to compromised on the vibes. We needed big wedding vibes in an intimate space! Dj Backspin proved to be 100% the Dj for the challenge. From helping us thinking through announcements, timing of first dance, ceremony music, etc, he made sure we felt like all the details were ironed out and everything was well thought out like a big wedding.

    We requested a mix of cultures for the playlist, Cape Verdean, Indian, and American music. We first took a shot at coming up with how that would play out ourselves but this wasn't an easy task. Thanks to DJ Backspin, we just handed over our favorite songs and he took complete care of it. We only had 8 guests (with our household: 13 people in total) but someone was always on the dance floor. Folks couldn't stop dancing to the music! I was actually in shock. Thank you DJ Backspin for helping making us feel like we were in the biggest venue, on the biggest dance floor, with the biggest spotlight on us!

    Best dj experience!

    Wanna have the BEST DJ experience for your wedding? Hire Freddy! He was responsive throughout the entire planning process, and even kept his cool when I wanted to change things last minute! He knows how to keep the party on the dance floor ALL night long. We pretty much gave him free reign on party songs, and did NOT disappoint. What I loved most was how he would check in with me and my husband throughout the night to make sure everything was going as planned, and kept us posted on what was to come next, ie: cake cutting, special dances. He has an amazing personality and takes time to get to know you as a person as well to ensure your day is perfect. 10/10 recommend!!

    Dj Backspin Entertainment's reply:

    Heather! Thanks for the great review. I had a fun time planning and spinning your wedding day. I am glad everyone had an amazing time. You friends and family had the dance floor rocking all night. Congratulations, wishing you and the hubby all the best!

    Didn’t leave the dance floor

    Freddy was awesome! We had an incredible time and he made it an awesome experience. As the bride, I can tell you I did not leave the dance floor. He read the crowd effortlessly and was able to bring his personality to the party as well. Freddy hyped us up all night and created an amazing experience for all the guests. I would hire him again for any future events!

    Thank you so much for the perfect review. I am glad we made history for you and your guests. I appreciate you booking with me and allowing me to showcase my talents to create memories on the dance floor. I truly wish you all the best! Congrats!

    An Excellent Hire

    Can’t say enough about the professionalism of Backspin Entertainment and our specific DJ, DJ Select/Renzo. Right away Freddy from Backspin Entertainment was responsive, easy to work with, and kind. DJ Select had a well thought out and elaborate online chart which allowed us to go on and add songs, names for announcements, the order of the night, and anything else as we worked through it all a few months leading up to the event. He called us a few times to go over any questions and his process. The day of he did everything perfectly and had almost all our guests getting down on the dancefloor! Despite us only giving him a couple songs as a hint to what we wanted for the various events throughout our wedding, he was able to please guests from their 20s to their 70s! Several people approached us during and after to comment how impressed they were with DJ select and his song choices. Thanks Freddy and DJ Select for making our wedding an unforgettable party!

    Dj Backspin Entertainment's reply:

    Renee! Thank you so much for the awesome write up! I am glad to hear the wedding went well! We appreciate you booking with DJ Backspin Entertainment! I am glad DJ Select made your wedding day unforgettable! Congratulations!
