Derek was, without a doubt, the heart and soul of our wedding! Music was one of the most important aspects of our day, and Derek delivered beyond our wildest dreams. From the ceremony to cocktail hour and then the best reception we could have ever imagined, Derek ensured every moment was soundtracked perfectly. His mixes were fresh, creative, and powerful, taking everyone on a musical journey that had us practically ascending to another plane on the dance floor! We even had friends who’ve been to 15-20 weddings say ours was the best they’d ever attended, and they couldn’t stop talking about how incredible the music and atmosphere were.

Not only did he keep the dance floor packed all night, but Derek was an outstanding MC. He engaged our guests, kept the energy high, and added a personal touch that made everyone feel like they were part of something truly special. He seamlessly bridged generational gaps, making our entire crowd feel united. And when he played the Subtronics remix of "Runaway (U&I)" and mixed in tracks like “7 Nation Army” with “Where You Are,” it felt like we were at a once-in-a-lifetime festival. At my request he even included Spooky Scary Skeletons, Thriller, Ghostbusters, and more in an unforgettable spooky mix that was AWESOME. The final hour was pure magic!

Derek didn’t just show up to DJ — he went above and beyond as a true partner in bringing our vision to life. He was our coordinator, our support system, and, honestly, our friend. His passion and dedication were evident every step of the way, and his encouragement kept us going on what was a busy day. Planning a wedding is stressful - it's likely the first and last time you plan an event on this scale, but Derek made it easy, and his experience was indispensable.

We now consider Derek our personal bard, and if you’re lucky enough to hire him, please take good care of him! Derek transformed our wedding into an unforgettable experience, and we’d go to battle for him any day. Thank you, Derek, for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever!

We could not have asked for a better MC and DJ at our wedding. Derek stops at nothing to ensure you and your guests have a great experience. Leading up to our wedding, Derek was excited to work together to build an amazing playlist not only for dancing, but our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. We had a blast. We didn't feel passionate about much at our wedding, but music was one of them. We heard, A LOT, that our guests loved the playlist.

He doesn't just feel like the guy that's playing music at your wedding, but someone who genuinely wants to contribute to the whole event. He did everything he could to make sure the day was smooth, fun and filled with love. We don't need DJ's for much, but if we do again, we'll be working with him no doubt. Thank you so much, Derek!!!

Can't say enough for how amazing the night was with Derek and his music getting the party started and keeping it up all night long. Started the night off with some Disney music, getting our crowd of ~15 children on the dance floor and getting their energy way up. Worked from a small list of preferred music, blended in requests from me instantly and seamlessly. We had compliments for Derek coming in all night from all ranges of friends and family. Couldn't have asked for anything more!
