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.Dj Derik was so great! He made everything flow so nicely for our wedding.

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.DJ Derik did a phenomenal job DJing our wedding.

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.I was so overwhelmed with all my vendors I ended up giving Derik very little information.

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!Derik and Elizabeth were both incredible throughout the entire wedding process!

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.

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!!Thank you so much to DJ Derik and Riptide Entertainment for doing an amazing job at our wedding!

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++++Derik is a life saver.

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.

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!!DJ Riptide was amazing!
