Great Wedding DJ and Photobooth
DJ Derik was a breath of fresh air when we were looking for a dj for our wedding. He was kind, quick, professional, and above all a very reasonable price! If I had to have a criticism, is that we didn't get all of our requested songs played, but DJ Derik explained well in advanced why that might be the case. Overall a great experience!DJ Derik was a breath of fresh air when we were looking for a dj for our wedding. He was kind, quick, professional, and above all a very reasonable price!

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.

Kept the day/night going smoothly!
Derik was great at keeping us on schedule and was flexible during Covid and rescheduling. He also had a song ready to go for an impromptu garter toss (my husband just needed some liquid courage). Anyways, he was great! Super casual to talk to and overall did a great job.

My husband and I definitely made the right choice by choosing Derik with Riptide Entertainment. He comes highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He was excellent at transitioning from event to event and throughout the night he was able to keep the dance floor moving.My husband and I definitely made the right choice by choosing Derik with Riptide Entertainment.

Wedding DJ
If you are looking for a DJ, look no further! DJ Derek was more than just a DJ. From the moment I spoke to him on the phone the first time I felt extremely comfortable with him. He was very upbeat and positive, just wanting us to have the best experience for our wedding. The music we wanted him to play for us was quite eclectic, and he rose to the challenge! He exceeded our best expectations! The audience loved him. He even tied my son’s tie for prom that night. He’s the best! More than a DJ!❤️If you are looking for a DJ, look no further!

Rip Tide entertainment service is beyond anything i have experienced before. They were referred to me by one of their past clients who said there was no one better. I needed their service for a school fundraiser, a Father Daughter dance for our elementary school. I met with Derik and laid out our needs and concerns. We were especially concerned because of the age of the girls and we wanted appropriate music for the age group. We were also concerned with the possibility that the fathers might not be comfortable dancing to their daughters music choices, or dancing at all.

I needed their service for a school fundraiser, a Father Daughter dance for our elementary school. I met with Derik and laid out our needs and concerns. We were especially concerned because of the age of the girls and we wanted appropriate music for the age group. We were also concerned with the possibility that the fathers might not be comfortable dancing to their daughters music choices, or dancing at all. In meeting with Derik and Rebecca, i was immediately impressed with their professionalism. They shared with us their many years of experience, over 20 years. After talking through the details, I new they were the ones for us. I booked the event and we began our planning. We had several calls to discuss the logistics of the event. Derik described his equipment, and the list was endless. When he asked us what we wanted or needed, i honestly couldn't answer him. I didn't really know what we needed, since we hadn't planned such an event before. Derik said not to worry, and asked if he could schedule a time to come look at the venue so he could make a proper suggestion. Much to my amazement, Derik drove 90 minutes each way, to come look for himself and didn't even attempt to charge us for the trip. Our event day was upon us. Derik and Rebecca showed up at the committed time and immediately got to work. Between the unbelievable sound and the amazing light show they created, everyone was just amazed. The night could not have been any better. The girls danced constantly and even the dads!! Derik stepped away from his stage and even gave lessons to the dads on how to line dance. The girls just loved it. We cant thank Rip Tide entertainment enough. Derik and Rebecca were just amazing. When many of the girls gave them hugs and several dads gave handshakes, i knew we made the right choice. Thank you! -

Derek was AMAZING!!! He was very professional and courteous and never once made us feel pressured to do anything. He kept the wedding moving and inspired the guests to join in on the fun and make sure they were part of our big day. I will definitely be using Derek in the future and recommending him to anyone having a wedding, party or any special event you want a good DJ. I would say that Derek felt more like family on our Wedding day rather than just a DJ.Derek was AMAZING!!! He was very professional and courteous and never once made us feel pressured to do anything.

Very professional and fun!
DJ Derik was referred to us by a friend for our daughter’s wedding. From the very first communication he was friendly and high energy! He is organized and even kept an eye on the timeline for us with announcements and coordination with the caterer to make sure things ran smoothly. He made the music choices easy by providing online forms to truly customize our experience. He was great at reading the room too! The music was fun and kept people moving.

DJ Derik is the best!!
We hired DJ Derik for our wedding and he was phenomenal. Not only with his professional set up, punctuality, and ability to get the crowd going but also by being a great person to work with! He really wants to make your day the best it can be. As a musician/performer myself, I had very high expectations and Derik blew them all away!
A true class act and you’d be lucky to have him for any event! Thanks Derik!!!We hired DJ Derik for our wedding and he was phenomenal.

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.

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.
