Heather Sent on 10/21/2018Eric saved the day!
DJ Eric saved the day for our wedding on August 25, 2018. After working with him on events several times in the past (I'm in catering), Eric was my first choice when the band we had originally hired didn't work out 2 weeks before our wedding. As my first call, I was elated to find out that Eric actually had our date available, so we booked him right away! He stepped in and quickly spoke with me about the flow of the event, and how we wanted everything to go. He sent great planning documents that allowed us to pick any music we specifically wanted, any announcements he could make, and tons of other details. It was so helpful and reassuring to have such a professional working on this for us. He let us send mp3 files of our special songs, and even provided a way for my brother to plug into his equipment to play and sing our first dance. It was so incredibly special. We couldn't have been more pleased with Eric's professionalism and talent. He kept our guests entertained all night, and did an incredible job of reading the crowd. My sister even commented that she was gonna make some requests, but he had already played all the songs she wanted to hear! Eric did a wonderful job interacting with the crowd, and was great in helping us keep the day moving along according to plan. We are so grateful for how perfect our day was. And so grateful to Eric for stepping in at the last minute, and making it feel like he'd been there since day one of planning. He is a true professional and an expert at his craft. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a great time and easy planning for their wedding music. Thank you for everything Eric! You rock! -

Everyone was dancing all night! I loved that we could send him some key songs and then just let him do the rest. He was very professional and very friendly, easy to work with. Great DJ! -
User1177688 Sent on 05/28/2013Did a great job reading the audience, just as I was thinking he should transition into something else, he did so before I could ask. One guest was begging him for the electric slide but he made sure to clear it with me first because I specifically said nothing cheesy! Electric slide was a huge hit so the next song he came out on the dance floor and did a dance. Everyone loved it, highly highly highly recommend!!! -
User1186607 Sent on 06/04/2013Eric was by far the best decision that I made for the entire wedding. My husband and I had originally planned to simply have an ipod and sound system to save some money. We had been to two weddings in the previous months with DJs that never stood up and seemed to be dazed off half the time. We thought people could choose their own music. Halfway through the planning process, we realized that this just wasn't realistic. We searched through dozens of DJs before finding Eric. He immediately asked to have a phone meeting. We spoke for about 20 minutes to just get the feel of each other. My then-fiance' and I knew that he would be perfect. He came with all of his own equipment minus the rented table. He also supplied lighting for the dance floor in the cost and offered to include customized monograms or symbols for a small fee. His interactive website was amazing to work with. You could request must plays, play if time, or do not play songs. He gave a worksheet to choose songs for each part of the reception, including introductions, cake cutting, etc. This worksheet was available on the website throughout the entire planning process, so you can make changes as needed. Eric also said that he would be able to download any song that guests requested through a wifi hotspot. He responded through phone call or email very quickly with any questions or comments. On the day of the wedding, he showed up very early to set up. He arranged his stuff orderly before the guests arrived. He also spoke with the bridal party before introductions to ensure that pronunications were correct and we all knew what to do. He kept the crowd invigorated and chose music that suited the moment. At one point, he even taught guests how to do the "Wobble." Everyone has raved about him, and we could not have made a better decision.

Michelle Sent on 10/30/2012Eric Anthony was great to work with. Although I didn't have too much planning with Eric, the weeks leading up to the wedding, he was very flexible in the music that I requested. Our wedding reception had some of the best music and my guests couldn't stop talking about how great the music was and they couldn't stop dancing (a good thing of course). I highly recommend Eric!

User1238850 Sent on 07/12/2013I contacted Eric several months ago about DJing my wedding. He was professional and clearly good at "making the sale." We negotiated terms and planned to get back in touch closer to the wedding to work out details.
Long story short, Eric wound up outsourcing my contract to another company without my knowledge. He neglected to tell me that my assigned DJ would no longer be working my event, and before I knew I wound up getting passed around to two other DJs (who had no idea Eric had arranged for them to work with me) before I was finally placed with someone who was actively able and willing to perform at my wedding.
Eric dropped the ball on having up-to-date liability forms, which my venue required. My venue tried to contact him multiple times but never received any response other than outdated forms. Fortunately, the DJ who took over my wedding was able to resolve the issue.
I had several questions for Eric over the course of our interactions. He was quick to reply, but his answers generally only extended to the first of a list of three or so questions I sent every time. He seemed disorganized and called me a few days before the wedding, confused about the terms and payment we had agreed to.
Last, while the DJ who performed at my wedding was very professional and responsive, he was double booked that day and wound up putting me with a disaster of a DJ-in-training to work my ceremony - the officiant's mic only worked half the time, he played the wrong song a time or two, and my husband and I walked down the aisle at the end of the ceremony to dead silence. It was not an acceptable job.
I'm sure Eric is a good DJ if you're willing to get the fully-loaded package, but I paid what I thought was a fair amount for a middle-of-the-road package and had a lot of headaches as a result. Proceed with caution.Eric Anthony Productions's reply:
Please know that I do not outsource and I consider myself the opposite of an agency. I feel compelled to express my sincere apology to and disappointment any of my clients have. What needs to be highlighted though is how my team and I handle double booking, technical problems and service quality.
I do not push my clients to sign right away but stress that if they want me as their DJ, urgency is suggested. This goes for myself and any of my other independent DJs.
I am always available to call or even text. Balancing life and work it is difficult to only respond to email. I always answer or call back with lightning speed.
Technical difficulties can happen. We also have and use technicians who can work out these problems. There are no "DJ's in training" set to do anything by themselves for DJ services. Even the most skilled entertainer can have issues with even tested and sound checked equipment. It is how we handle ourselves in those time is what sets the professionals a part. Again I personally apologize for that.
This review was posted and I still have yet to hear from you. I know this is not personal however this is my name. I stand behind my service 100% and am and will always be approachable.
