We seriously don't have the words to describe how absolutely INCREDIBLE Derek was for our wedding. We are a New York based couple who struggled to find the right vibe for our wedding - we got married at a museum so we wanted the night to feel sophisticated and classy, but fun and not stuffy! So many of the bands/DJs we spoke to felt cheesy, but as soon as we met with Derek we knew he was the right fit. Derek knew EXACTLY how to create the right flow of the evening… Every single one of our guests told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and I truly believe it's because of the party Derek created…. It was the exact vibe we wanted. Everything from start to finish was seamless, classy, sophisticated, fun and just electric. Working with Derek was truly the best decision we made for our wedding and I would do it again 100x!!
"EVERYTHING WAS SEAMLESS, CLASSY, SOPHISTICATED, FUN,
& JUST ELECTRIC!"
We hired Derek as the DJ for our wedding and I literally don’t have words to express how amazing he was!!! Derek did the music for ceremony, cocktail, and reception and we were so happy with how he made the night flow perfectly. He was a huge help with selection of our key songs, always very responsive, and extremely organized while planning the whole event timeline. Music was one of the most important things for us to make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted, and he definitely delivered! Derek totally was in tune with the crowd, kept the party going, played all our requests, and added so many personal touches throughout the night. I still have friends reaching out to me telling me how much they loved our DJ!! Forever grateful for making our night so much fun!
"Totally IN TUNE WITH THE CROWD, KEPT THE PARTY GOING, PLAYED ALL OUR REQUESTS"
Where to even begin. The dance party on Friday was so epic, everyone kept saying it felt like the wedding night in and of itself. You are such a legend, so talented. We loved every second of it. The after party was without a doubt the best party of my entire life- you ROCKED so hard. It was so special to have someone we trust in this very important role! Thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts.
"WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST PARTY OF MY LIFE"
