    My Fellow DJ (Erick) is absolutely incredible!

    We recently had the pleasure of having My Fellow DJ (Erick) as the maestro of melodies at our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled to share our experience! From start to finish, he crafted an atmosphere that was nothing short of magical.
    First and foremost, he demonstrated an unparalleled professionalism throughout the entire process. From our initial consultation to the big day itself, he was attentive to our preferences, responsive to our requests, and truly dedicated to making our wedding dreams come true. Erick’s passion for music and commitment to creating the perfect ambiance were evident in every interaction.

    When it came to the actual event, Erick took our wedding to the next level with an incredible playlist that had everyone on their feet. From the ceremony to the reception, the transitions between songs were seamless, and the energy on the dance floor was electric. It was evident that he had a deep understanding of how to read the crowd and keep the party going. Our guests were raving about the music selection long after the last dance! He also went above and beyond to make our wedding uniquely ours. He skillfully incorporated our favorite songs, respected our do-not-play list, and even surprised us with a few special touches that added an extra layer of joy to the celebration.

    My Fellow DJ is not just a DJ; He is a true artist who understands the power of music to elevate moments and create lasting memories and we’re forever grateful to him for such an instrumental role in making our wedding day the magical experience we had always envisioned.

    Erick was one of our best choices!

    Erick was absolutely fantastic at our wedding back in September. He was super easy to work with, has great taste in music, and did a great job at keeping the party going all night long. I can't recommend him enough!

    Hire erick

    Thanks to Erick/My Fellow DJ, I was able to live out my dance floor wedding dreams. We provided him with a playlist of some songs we were thinking and he BLEW US AWAY. Not only was the music outstandingly lit, he was extremely professional, helpful, and had the best vibes all weekend. Couldn't recommend using Erick for your wedding enough - best night of my life thanks to him.

    The best to ever do it

    Erick could not be easier to work with. Not only easy to work with but someone you want at ALL weddings because he is that good of a time. When it comes to the music, MC, and all other aspects, he absolutely crushes it. We put trust in him and let him do his thing, and had the best wedding ever. Erick Copon for life.

    Best ever!

    I know Eric personally and would highly recommend his services! He is kind and professional, yet laid back in the best way. He gives you full control of the process, but if you’re like me he will also make a playlist based on your taste. All of my guests said that outside of how great the bride and groomed looked, the DJ was their favorite part!

    Best Night Ever!

    Erick was amazing! I’ve been to a lot of weddings and he is definitely the best I’ve experienced. Everything went perfectly, from our ceremony music to our intros and reception. Many of our guests even made a point to compliment the background music during cocktail hour and dinner. When it was time to start the party Erick really got it going! It was a non stop party with no lulls! Our wedding had a wide range of personalities and ages and every single person got on the dance floor. We can’t thank Dj El Capone enough!

    Exactly the DJ I was looking for!

    Erick was professional, flexible, energetic - everything you would want in a DJ and emcee! From the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, he brought all the good vibes. I have seen Erick DJ at other events before and I was so happy he was available for our wedding. I wanted party music that flowed seamlessly and kept people on the dance floor and he did perfectly! Also, we opted for the lighting package and it was definitely worth it!
    Many, many people have asked who our DJ was and praised him highly because the night was so fun. I will refer him to anyone who asks.

    Best DJ in VA!

    Eric happens to also be my husband's barber, which is how we initially found him. We loved his easy going demeanor and cool style. For such a stressful process, Eric really helps keep you comfortable. He also has a ton of experience working weddings, local events, and DJ's at bars all over Richmond+Va Beach most every weekend.

    Eric makes the process very easy and fun, by allowing you to provide him a a playlist of music you generally like. He is not your standard DJ, and keeps the party going continuously by mixing tracks back-to-back. Multiple people who attended our wedding told us this was by far the most fun they'd had partying at a wedding. I had to take a couple breathers myself from constant dancing...All in all, we are so happy we chose Eric, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

    Worth the wait!

    I've been waiting since 2017 to have Erick as the DJ for my wedding. (Note: I was super single and didn't find my dude until 2019). The moment I got engaged, I made sure to book him ASAP. I mean I was competing to get my vendors before the rescheduled 2020 weddings booked him. I wasn't gonna let him slip through my fingers. He was super easy to work with at the wedding and even during the preparations. Need a DJ? Hit My Fellow DJ, Erick, up. Trust me, he will not fail you.

    Dance floor was a party all night!

    I had the pleasure of working with Erick as a part of the vendor team for a March 2022 couple! Erick's communication throughout the planning process was informative and timely. Our couple expressed wanting to throw a big party for their guests and Erick's DJ services helped bring that vision to life! Would highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again soon!

    Amazing dj

    Erick is such a friendly and easy to work with person. He came recommended by several of our friends who also hired him to DJ their weddings. He really listens to what you want the wedding vibe to be like and delivers! His music chooses are great and he knows how to keep the party on their feet and dancing through the night.

    The absolute BEST decision!

    Despite having a relatively small wedding, we knew that we wanted a DJ and hiring Erick was hands down the best decision! Erick not only made our reception a better party than we could've imagined, he helped us have the perfect music for our ceremony and did not even bat an eye when I had very specific timing requests for all of our songs. He was the easiest vendor to work with in the entire planning process, which was such a relief when trying to juggle so many different aspects of planning!

    We didn’t think our reception would be that much of a party but Erick had every guest out of their seats dancing. He’s an absolute pro and if you are even considering hiring a dj for your wedding or event, you will not regret him. Our only regret is not having a longer reception because we truly did not want the party to end. Such an all around great guy and we will recommend him to everyone we know!

    10/10 recommend

    Erick was super responsive and flexible working with us. A friend had recommended him after attending a couple of weddings he was DJing at. So fortunate to have him emcee and DJ at my wedding. Good vibes and music all through the night. My guests kept telling me how much they enjoyed the DJ & I couldn't agree more! He also was helpful working with us on the uplighting at our venue. 10/10 recommend!

    Highly recommended!

    Erick did an awesome job with the music for our ceremony and for our reception! He listened to the types of music we love to listen to and curated the playlist according to our requested style. We were jamming all night long due to his song picks. Do not hesitate to book with Erick, he is friendly, professional, and is fantastic at what he does! Thank you again for being a part of our big day!!

    Best DJ at the Beach

    My fiance wanted to find a DJ that will bring the best music on our big day. Of course, we thought of Erick. We have been to other events and weddings where Erick DJ'ed. At all events, the guests were up and dancing all night. When we reached out to Erick, he was very responsive. We spoke via phone to discuss his services and our options. He had us come up with a playlist on Spotify to help him better determine our music style. That process with my fiance was a great bonding experience. Unfortunately, Covid happened and our 200 + people wedding had to be changed to a small dinner with our family only. We decided to cancel his service, which was a real bummer, and he was very understanding. He even returned our deposit! What a stand up guy! We highly recommend him for any event where you would need good music and host of a party!

    Imparato Wedding—Amazing!

    10/10 would recommend! Erik Capon has been a local DJ legend for years in the VB area. We were so excited to have him DJ our covid “elopement” ceremony. He accommodated us and made a playlist that def set the vibe for the night, don’t hesitate to book him!

    So easy to work with!

    We had spent a lot of time looking for the right DJ and finding the right fit for us! We wanted someone personable and laid back, but also one who could keep everyone hype throughout the night. Erick did just that! He is experienced and knowledgeable and did a superb job during the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was flexible and was able to adapt to the changes in timeline during the night, even when I provided him with the wrong draft of speeches and bridal party names. We sent him some of our favorite songs on Spotify a week before the wedding and he was able to read our likes and dislikes and what kind of party we wanted for the reception. He kept everyone on the dance floor and ended the night with “Dreams and Nightmares.” Seriously, the best night ever that everyone’s still talking about. Our only wish from our wedding day was that our reception and dancing lasted a bit longer – which wasn’t Erick’s fault because I know if it was up to him he would have kept the night going as well!

    Amazing DJ

    Erick was amazing throughout the whole process of planning a wedding. At the beginning he was responsive, answered all our questions, and was very clear of the services that he would provide. As the day of the wedding arrived, Erick arrived early to set up for music for the ceremony and transitioned into the reception hall without any qualms. The music was fantastic and the variety he played appealed to the whole wedding. It has to say something when all our friend who were engaged who were at our wedding asked where they can get his information. Highly recommended DJ, thanks Erick!!

    Erick is the best!!

    Erick seriously made my wedding SO much fun!! Music is a very important thing to both myself and my wife, so we naturally had so many concerns when it came to hiring a dj. We worried about our dj not getting our vibe (we both have very specific music tastes and hate the popular songs that are played at weddings, especially the structured group dances) and we also wanted to strike a balance where the music represented our tastes but also were songs that everyone could enjoy. Erick was very good about communicating his style and also gave us many opportunities to let him know what we were going for. From the initial consult to us meeting for a beer to go over details, I felt like Erick really listened and wanted to tailor the night’s soundtrack to our interests. He asked for a playlist from us to get a general sense of what we wanted (this helped tremendously because we both love creating playlists) and he was able to play a lot of songs from the list but also incorporate popular songs people enjoyed that also fit the same mood/feeling! Everything he played flowed together really nicely and he even graciously took requests from folks on the spot. Erick was also great at making announcements, hyping people up, but also was able to feed off of the crowd’s energy. Another thing that stood out to me was that Erick noticed my 10 year old nephew taking an interest in his dj set up and allowed him to co-dj for a bit!! That was really cute and meant a lot to me :)! Do not hesitate to hire Erick- he is a great communicator and knows how to help you deliver a party that everyone will remember!

    Suavemente!

    It has been a week since we got married and had Erick as our DJ and I can hands down say that the music is on the top of mine and my husband’s list of what we loved about our reception. We booked Erick a year in advance, and then had to do major changes due to COVID. He was kind, understanding, and extremely flexible. We changed dates and he was still available to accommodate. Combined, my husband gave him a few lists of songs, while I just gave him a general description of the mood and vibe we were going for. Boy, did he deliver! He knows how to read a room and ply what is right for the moment. All of our guests had so many good things to say about the music that evening. To top it all, we extending our time at the venue an hour and he accommodated to play! So good! Will recommend to all my friends and book again!

    Fun, flexible, and reliable. Erick is truly an expert.

    Erick, the owner and DJ for My Fellow DJ, went above and beyond to make the music and atmosphere at our wedding perfect and match our personalities. He has fantastic taste in music-- both what he listens to personally and what he plays at events. He also has the exact personality you’d want from a DJ-- fun, energetic, happy but also cool under pressure and professional. We had some really specific requests, which Erick was happily able to do. We also had very vague requests and didn’t know what we wanted for some things and Erick knew exactly what we needed in those cases. Our setup was really unique and required Erick to move locations a few times and bring multiple PA systems. He moved with ease and there were no interruptions to our event. When we told other DJ’s about relocating throughout the event they were very hesitant or told us it wasn’t possible. Erick accepted the challenge and knocked it out of the park.
    Most importantly, everyone had a phenomenal time. We've heard from several guests that they loved the music and had so much fun dancing. I've even received a few "best wedding ever" compliments, which are all attributed to Erick.
    Erick was timely, flexible, professional, and just plain fun. He knew how to get every guest on the dance floor -- from 3 years old to 90 years old, Erick played music that made it fun for all ages. I recommend Erick to anyone and everyone!
    This fella is the Indiana Jones of DJ’s. Cool guy. Great taste in music. Would absolutely dance to his music again.

    Best DJ in Richmond

    Erick knows what he's doing and he's the only DJ I'd trust to do my wedding. You can give him a song-for-song playlist, or what we chose for our wedding, which was to give him a list to get a feel for what kind of music we wanted played throughout the course of the night. This saved us tons of time in our planning process, and he did not disappoint with his filler music! He touches base with you over the course of your planning period, and has a sit down with you a month or so before the event to make sure everything is ready to roll. His sound system for our ceremony and reception were good quality.

    Awesome DJ!!

    Erick is an awesome DJ; my husband and I were so happy to have him! He was very flexible with our schedules and made sure that he understood exactly what we wanted for the big day. He played the songs that we wanted + chose more songs to satisfy my guests! He did a great job reading the crowd. We were so pleased with his service and friendliness!!

    Everyone RAVED about the music!

    Erick was great to work with! I'd heard him play at gigs around rva and knew he'd crush it at our wedding, and he exceeded our expectations. We told him we wanted to have a dance-heavy reception for our friends and family, and he definitely delivered. Everyone was raving about the music, and he easily incorporated the songs I had requested for the night. We had one minor mic issue, but because he had a backup handheld mic, crisis was averted. He somehow moved between three different locations at our venue (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) at the speed of light which made the flow of music super smooth. I highly recommend My Fellow DJ!
