Eric is an absolute professional in getting the dance floor rugs cut. One of the great things about the experience was the pre-wedding check-ins: making sure he understands what type of music you want played, but also allows for you to let him run the show. This is great for people either want to stick to a certain theme, or are fluid to letting him curate the selection. He has all the ceremony/reception/speeches/first dances portion down and necessary equipment to make it run smoothly. Then comes the party and boy does he bring it! We only had a few song requests and general genres we wanted played and Eric delivered in spades. All our friends were dancing until the venue lights came on. I would highly recommend booking Eric for your party! -

DJ Aquaman was incredible. Tired of hearing Pitbull and Ke$ha and all the meh wedding music? We were too so we turned to Eric who listened to us, crafted excellent cocktail + reception music, and read the vibe extremely well. He has great equipment that filled the whole room, fun lights, and even a wind-resistant mic which was crucial during the windy ceremony. Cannot say enough nice things about Eric and his team. -

We couldn’t have better things to say about Eric and are so glad he DJ’d our wedding! He and his assistant, Jen, were so helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. Leading up to the day, they made sure every detail was thought of to help the wedding day go as smoothly as possible. We met up with him beforehand to talk through the music and he was incredibly easy to work with. He reflected our tastes and requests beautifully, and he read the crowd to ensure everyone got up a danced. 100% recommend Eric!! -

Our dream wedding DJ!
Eric absolutely crushed it as the DJ for our wedding. My husband and I really wanted to have vinyl at our wedding, so when we found Eric (and stopped by the Goodfoot for an epic Friday night set) we knew it would be the perfect fit. Eric is super intuitive and can read a crowd like no other, so we had full faith in his ability to get people on (and stay on) the dance floor - and he did NOT disappoint. Truly everyone at our wedding danced the night away, and many commented on how it was the best dance floor they’d experienced. He brought his style and expertise, but also kept our thoughts/requests at the forefront. Outside of that, his setup is so dialed in and professional, so we had a seamless and crystal clear sounding outdoor ceremony. Highly recommend! -

We were huge fans of Eric from Soul Stew, and knew as soon as we got engaged that we wanted him for our DJ. His booking manager (Jen) was incredibly responsive and helpful in the months leading up to our wedding, and Eric met with us personally before the big day to make sure all the details were in order. He does an incredible job of reading the room and keeping the party going - everyone was on the dance floor all night to a fantastically curated blend of music. We can't recommend Eric highly enough! -

DJ Aquaman 100% took our wedding to the next level. The day would have not been as effortless, polished and FUN without his expertise behind the spin table. Eric worked with us to understand our hopes for the day and then perfectly delivered every moment - from our walk down the aisle, to toasts, to the late night grooves. Our friends are still raving about our wedding dance party.
If you haven’t experienced DJ Aquaman yet, I highly recommend a Friday night visit to the Good Foot! His fínese and impecable jams are off the charts!! -

Dance All Night to this DJ
Eric/DJ Aquaman was fantastic for our wedding! One of the most important elements to any fun party is the music and Eric nailed it for our wedding. Many guests commented that they LOVED the music and our dance party. We had multiple generations on the dance floor all night thanks to the great vibes and tunes. Eric takes time and care in understanding your tastes and preferences so he can create a customized musical experience to your taste. We are very grateful to him for helping us create a magical wedding experience for all. -

The BEST dance party!
You must get DJ Aquaman for your wedding! We had previously attended a wedding where Eric was DJing and it was one of the best dance parties we had been to. We just knew we had to have DJ Aquaman for our own wedding! Leading up to our wedding, we worked with Eric's assistance, Jen, to help coordinate timelines and payment. She was excellent with communication and organization and worked with our venue to make sure everything was set. We also met with Eric before the wedding to get to know him, go over music preferences, and hammer out a timeline for the wedding day. We used DJ Aquaman for both our ceremony and reception music. He also helped us mic up our officiants at the ceremony and our toast givers at the reception. He is extremely friendly and down to earth and asked a lot of probing questions to make sure our day would go smoothly and that we would have a blast. Eric showed up at the venue many hours in advance of our ceremony to get everything set up - he had to set up in two separate locations for the ceremony and reception. He was very professional and if there were any logistical issues, he certainly did not bother us with them to ensure our day remained stress free. Eric spins real records and knows how to get the dance party going! We had a BLAST dancing the night away at our wedding and rarely left the dance floor all night. Our friends and family loved DJ Aquaman, too. We are so glad that Eric was our wedding DJ and would absolutely recommend him!Eric Hedford (DJ Aquaman)'s reply:
thank YOU Megan! Your guys' wedding was the first post-Covid lock-down party for me, and I'm guessing a lot of your guests, too. It had such a big emotional impact to see people in love and having fun (safely outside lol) and to play music again, plus your friends rocked!! I won't forget it. -

Eric did out backyard COVID wedding and truly made it a night to remember. Prior to the event he sat down with us to get to know us as a couple, our preferences, and asked about songs that were special to us and our loved ones. The night of the event he took our "must play songs" but built off of them. such a fun variety of music that got guests of all ages moving. He truly had the whole wedding out on the dance floor. I still have guests talk to me about the most fun wedding dance party they've even been part of. Highly recommend having Eric, DJ Aquaman, as part of your wedding day or any party! -

One of the many highlights of our wedding was DJ Aquaman spinning real records that got our dance floor MOVIN. You can tell he loves what he does, he is dancing and vibing to the music right a long with everyone else. It is funny how many friends have mentioned how epic the DJ was. They loved him. Eric is also a joy to work with before the wedding, he knows so much about music that we were able to trust his music choice and not have to worry about curating our own playlist. Couldn't recommend him enough. -

Eric was the most incredible DJ we could have asked for. He was so sweet and smart, he met us for coffee a few weeks before our wedding and talked through the entire ceremony with us. The sound during the ceremony was excellent and everyone could hear great even in the back of the room. Once on the dance floor, he killed it again. Every single song was a hit and the party could have gone on for hours longer. We highly recommend Eric. -

Lisa Sent on 10/28/2018Glowing accolades for a DJ who keeps the dance floor hopping!
For one of our first dates, my husband and I went to Eric's Soul Stew night at The Good Foot. When we found out that he DJed weddings, we were beyond thrilled and knew immediately we wanted to hire him. Eric was our dream DJ – calm, fun and professional from the ceremony preludes to the closing song of the night (Bill Withers' "Lean on Me"). He beautifully captured important songs to us and our families while blending in a variety of party crowd pleasers, keeping the dance floor hopping from start to finish with guests of all ages. The cherry on top was seeing everyone decked out in glow sticks and light-up shoes as they danced the night away. There was even a visit from our friend T-Shreds, the inflatable T-Rex! We've already had multiple guests inquire about our wedding DJ and are happy to give Eric a glowing review. (I will add photos to this review once we receive them from our photographer). -

Chris Sent on 01/08/2019Excellent Service, Great Vibes!
Our wedding coordinator initially recommended DJ Aquaman as a fan favorite for weddings. After reading a few reviews we were intrigued. My wife truly loves music and wanted a like-minded DJ who could create a unique and memorable experience. We met DJ Aquaman for coffee and were impressed by his knowledge and his true passion for music. He skillfully integrated songs and styles that we love with his own ideas and generated a fun and unique vibe for our outdoor venue. During the wedding, his ability to assess and work the crowd was fantastic. Even with a small to medium crowd in a forested venue, he engaged our audience and totally rocked it. After the wedding, many of our friends and family went out of their way to tell us how great the DJ experience and dance party was, and we agree! DJ Aquaman truly surpassed expectations. His DJ skill and passion for music was evident throughout. Thank you DJ Aquaman, we hope to catch one of your DJ sets sometime soon!Eric Hedford (DJ Aquaman)'s reply:
Hey Chris! Thanks for the kind words, that was a super fun party and you guys were a pleasure to work with, cheers to you and Kylie!
