    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

    The perfect addition to our wedding

    From the very beginning, Eric was so easy to work with. He was everything you could ask for when planning a wedding - responsive, professional, organized, and detail-oriented. He has a personalized app that made music selection easy and met with us multiple times to get everything sorted out. He also kept the dance floor full and active the entire time which was super important to us! I cannot recommend him more.

    The Best DJ Out There!

    Eric was amazing to work with from start to finish! He shared his expertise, ensured we felt comfortable during the process and at the wedding, and provided the best DJ services. He exceeded our expectations by far! The "Love Story" he creates is unreal. It is such a unique and personal touch that we'll cherish forever. We're so glad we chose Eric as our DJ and you will be too!!!

    Personalized DJ Magic

    Working with Eric was as easy as you could hope for. He was transparent and made sure to make our day just as we imagined it. He personalizes everything you could want and we had so many comments about how his personalizations made our guest feel like they were part of something special.

    Working with Eric was amazing

    I was stoked to work with him as our DJ after our first meeting with him. So glad my bride found him. He made this easy which was a huge stress reduction. He made things fun with the bridal party introductions to the love story. I definitely recommend working with Eric, he is more than worth it.

    Fun, memorable evening!

    Working with Eric was easy as he saw our vision and improved on it. We have friends that have a band but we also wanted other specific music played and he and the band intermingled nicely. Eric added humor, flow and energy to the event. Our guests are still talking about our reception! Would 100% recommend to anyone!

    Eric was great to work with!

    Eric really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and make your day special. We got so many compliments on the personalized touches he added to our wedding reception. He kept the reception flowing and even got out on the dance floor and showed guests how to do the cupid shuffle. I would definitely recommend hiring him as your wedding DJ!

    There is no better than Eric!

    Seriously, Eric will make your wedding! He is so much more than a DJ, Eric will take your wedding to the next level and will leave your guest saying that your wedding was one of the best they’ve ever been to. Clayton is an incredible MC and will keep the flow going flawlessly, no awkward pauses. He does an awesome job putting personal touches on the whole event and does an awesome job telling your love story. My wife and I cannot recommend Eric more highly, hire him! It will be the best decision you make for your wedding.

    Eric is better than anyone else you're considering

    Eric literally took a rude silly joke I made - that had no place at a wedding - and made it work for me. I can't even explain the level of professionalism it takes to pull off what he did to inject my sense of humor into a formal event like a wedding. If he can do that for me, he can literally do anything you want for you to make the experience exactly what you're looking for. 10/10 Don't even think about using anyone else.

    Highly Recommended Wedding Entertainment Director

    Eric seriously knows how to make your wedding day special. He exceeded our expectations by adding so many personal touches of love and laughter. We had an awesome time talking to him during every planning session and could tell he cared about helping to make our wedding amazing. He went above and beyond to layout our timeline; provide resources for music selection and speeches, etc.; learn about our family, wedding party, and guests; and learn about what makes us the couple we are. His music selection kept the guests entertained and dancing and we all had a great time. We never imagined our DJ putting in so much effort before the wedding and can't imagine there is anyone else in the business that does all that he does. We would definitely recommend Eric to any and all of our friends!

    Eric was wonderful! He made every guest feel involved and like they were a part of our special day! We have received so many compliments from our guests about the music selection and all the special personal touches Eric works with you to help create. He is truly way more than your average DJ, and he helped create a night that we and our guests will never forget!

    Love Story for the Win!

    The Love Story is a unique addition to include in your day that I've never heard of before. It was a pleasure to work with Eric throughout the entire process. We even had multiple guests tell us how much they loved hearing our love story as well.

    Historic Jasmine Wedding

    Eric was phenomenal! He worked with me around my hectic military schedule and helped make my wedding the best and most fun day of my life. He’s full of energy and passion about what he does and he does not disappoint. I still have guests telling me about how fun he made the night and how well thought out he was. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have the best wedding entertainment for their special day!

    One of a Kind

    Eric was such a unique DJ: the best part of his services
    is the Love Story; Eric individually interviewed my husband
    and I about how we met, when we fell in love, and why
    we are meant to be together- he created a mash up and played it during the reception, and up until that moment we had not heard each other's responses. It was special for
    our guests and very emotional for us hearing each others answers to the questions he asked. It was so romantic! I do not know any DJ who takes the time to get to know a couple with such intentionality and create such a masterpiece! I highly recommend Eric if you are looking for a unique and fun wedding!

    Wedding went smoothly due to Eric and Sergio

    This is an incredible company. Eric planned our entire event in the meetings we had prior to the day, including a meeting with the vendor. I was able to easily add the songs I wanted through their website. Eric was also very responsive to our questions, even prior to being hired.

    Eric and Sergio were on top of the music during the ceremony, and added a sophisticated touch throughout the entire event, including the toasts when they announced the speakers. They juggled the music very well as we had a combination on Indian, American, and Jewish music. They also handled the transitions between events well (for example, from the toasts to the performance, and so on). They were very professional and friendly, and worked with guests and other vendors. I can't recommend them enough!
