    The Best Time

    We had the best time with DJ Derik! He was extremely responsive and was attentive to what we wanted. He made sure to keep the party going and played a great variety of music. Our guests have just raved about how great Derik was. Thank you Derik for helping create the best reception!

    Great DJ! Highly recommend

    Dj Derik was so great! He made everything flow so nicely for our wedding. We didn’t have to worry about anything. He worked well with the vendors/coordinator and did such a great job with the playlist 10/10.

    So many compliments on our wedding music

    DJ Derik did a phenomenal job DJing our wedding. In our initial meetings, he immediately made us feel confident in his abilities and it showed through to the wedding when we got numerous compliments on the music. He is a true professional who came in with a lot of great ideas and suggestions. He really knows the ins and outs of DJing a wedding and he made it very easy for us on our wedding day. All the songs he chose got people out on the dance floor which was really important to me. He also was great at making announcements for food, toasts, etc. I highly recommend hiring Derik if you want a smooth wedding with an experienced professional.

    Best DJ Ever

    I was so overwhelmed with all my vendors I ended up giving Derik very little information. He made sure everything when off without a hitch. He played excellent music just based off his crowd assessment. He provided great props and a photo booth that had no technical difficulties. We even got our photo booth photos within days. Derik also helped work with my videographer to make sure the lighting was perfect for dancing and filming.

    Riptide Entertainment- DJ DERIK's reply:

    Thank you so much! I was so proud to be there for your big day! It was truly my honor!
    All the love to you guys!

    Amazing wedding entertainment

    Derik and Elizabeth were both incredible throughout the entire wedding process! Derik was easy to get a hold of the entire time leading up to the wedding and extremely accommodating. On the day of he was an excellent host for the reception festivities and had the dance floor going all night! All of the guests had a great time and loved his music selection. The photo booth was a huge hit and Elizabeth did an amazing job helping our guests take photos all night long. We are so great full that they were a part of our special night and would highly recommend them because they’re the life of the party!

    Fun, professional and always there when needed

    During a hectic time, Derik was always there to help us plan our wedding. We started off by meeting him one morning at a coffee shop and almost immediately we knew that we wanted him to DJ our wedding. He took time to get to know us, our vision for our wedding and what he could do to help us accomplish that. During the process (over a year long) he continued to check in, sometimes just to see how we are doing. And, on the big day, it felt like like we had a friend as our DJ.

    But Derik is more than just a DJ. He had a big responsibility to keep the flow of the wedding the entire day. He exceeded the expectations and gave us nothing to worry about.

    Thank you Derik!

    We ❤️ DJ Derik

    Thank you so much to DJ Derik and Riptide Entertainment for doing an amazing job at our wedding! We highly recommend Riptide and we look forward to working with them again the next time we need DJ services. The advance coordination with Derik, the split system for the ceremony/reception, and the option of clip-on mics for the ceremony was everything we could have hoped for. And the light-up DJ booth was a great addition to the reception. Such a great value! We ❤ DJ Derik!!

    Derik is a life saver!

    Derik is a life saver. After being referred to another DJ that screwed us over, we found Derik and Riptide Entertainment! It was a blessing in disguise that we had a problem with the prior DJ. If anyone is on the fence about who to hire, I'm telling you, you are done looking when you choose Riptide! The man goes above and beyond, and works with you every step of the way and makes the experience special for who he is working for. He started off as a DJ we hired.......he's now a friend that we will continue to be in contact with. A++++

    Absolutely amazing experience

    When it came time to select a DJ for our wedding there was no question in my mind that it'd be anyone other than Derik. I've known Derik as a DJ in excess of 20 years now so he was already familiar with my musical taste, but not my husbands. He spent time with us to learn more about our combined taste and what we envisioned for our big day. When that day came Derik most definitely delivered. He played songs that brought us and our guests back to "the good ol days" with many memories. He played songs that allowed us and our guests to honor a fallen friend. He even squeezed in a couple of special requests. Everyone had such a great time dancing, especially me! Our day was truly amazing and Derik was a huge part of making that happen. Thank you!!

    Riptide Entertainment- DJ DERIK's reply:

    THANK YOU so much..... you guys are special. I'm so glad to have been there for both of you. Just seeing you glow on your wedding day meant the world to me. Your friends and family are so great, as was the memorial for your friend....that was very touching.

    Quality DJ for a Quality Price

    Dj Derik did not disappoint. My wife and I come from very different lifestyles, so music is a factor when it comes to our communities. Dj Derik executed the blending of the two BEAUTIFULLY.

    If there is anyone you need or want to host your wedding, baby shower, or even your baby girl's baptism - HIRE THIS DJ. Dj Derik did not disappoint and I promise you, he will not disappoint you!

    Riptide Entertainment- DJ DERIK's reply:

    Heidi....THANK YOU so much for the kind words. I'm so glad you both are so happy! I loved see the smiles on your faces, as well as your families. Have an awesome honeymoon and soak up the time together as you start your new life as husband and wife.

    Best in the biz!

    Derik was such a pleasure to work with! I left the task of fining a DJ up to my fiancé and Derik stood out to him because he was professional and explained everything in a easy to understand way. He was a breeze to communicate with and he captured both of our music tastes perfectly!

    Riptide Entertainment- DJ DERIK's reply:

    THANK YOU so very much Brianna! I'm so glad you both enjoyed your wedding day. It was my pleasure to be part of your wedding team.

    Simply perfect!

    DJ Riptide was amazing! He kept everyone on the dance floor with amazing hits perfect for our group of people we had at our wedding. DJ Riptide had us fill out a form with all the songs we wanted for transitions and parts of the evening I had not even thought of. He also gave great recommendations regarding songs for certain transition times through the night. Highly recommend!!

    Riptide Entertainment- DJ DERIK's reply:

    Thanks so much Lindsay! It really was an honor to be part of your day….and meet the entire family!!! I just loved seeing you both smile non-stop. And walking down with Uncle Don even got me a little teary! Xo Derik

    Added so much fun and magic to our big day!

    Derik - DJ Riptide, from the very first conversation was such a pleasure to work with. He was so quick to respond, took every idea I had to heart and was positive and upbeat. Derik was so helpful with song selection. He was even able to customize our first dance song! Every song he played at our wedding hit the mark and fit our personalities exactly. All of our guests had such a fun time! Derik was great at making everyone feel a part of the celebration. We highly recommend DJ Riptide for your event and wedding day!

    Best DJ around hands down!

    If your looking for a DJ, DERIK is the man! He went above and beyond with everything and is all around a great guy, he really wanted our day to be the best and made that happen. Having music and songs played at the wedding is a big deal and really makes the wedding so it really matters who you choose! Can’t thank Derik enough for all he did!
