Eric was wonderful! He made every guest feel involved and like they were a part of our special day! We have received so many compliments from our guests about the music selection and all the special personal touches Eric works with you to help create. He is truly way more than your average DJ, and he helped create a night that we and our guests will never forget! More...

Eric is simply phenomenal, he's very personable & does a great job of building rapport & getting to know his clients. He provides planning tools & software to help keep you organized & plan your day from ceremony to reception. My husband and I enjoyed all of our video chats with Eric, he is funny & knowledgeable of the wedding industry & seriously entertaining! Everyone at our wedding couldn't get enough of him, he kept us dancing & made sure to play my favorite songs as planned. The introductions and our Love Story were such funny & special moments I will never forget. There is simply no other DJ & Master of Ceremonies like Eric! More...

Eric seriously knows how to make your wedding day special. He exceeded our expectations by adding so many personal touches of love and laughter. We had an awesome time talking to him during every planning session and could tell he cared about helping to make our wedding amazing. He went above and beyond to layout our timeline; provide resources for music selection and speeches, etc.; learn about our family, wedding party, and guests; and learn about what makes us the couple we are. His music selection kept the guests entertained and dancing and we all had a great time. We never imagined our DJ putting in so much effort before the wedding and can't imagine there is anyone else in the business that does all that he does. We would definitely recommend Eric to any and all of our friends! More...

If you’re trying to turn your wedding reception into a dance party that no one wants to leave, with the perfect vibe, then Eric is the DJ for you! ! He breaks music down to a science, science of beats and rhythms. He cares so much about his work and is one of the most passionate and professional DJs you can have! He picks all the perfect moments to fit in the slower songs that every wedding needs but does not shy away from the really up beat fun songs. On the night of our wedding, Eric and his partner were the life of the party!

Eric's professionalism and experience was a great asset as well! On a day when there's so many moving parts and anything can go wrong, you need to surround yourself with people that are prepared for anything. There were so many small details that we couldn't have possibly thought of, but Eric had us covered 100%! With an experienced DJ, like Eric, you will definitely have nothing to worry about on your special day!

Eric literally took a rude silly joke I made - that had no place at a wedding - and made it work for me. I can't even explain the level of professionalism it takes to pull off what he did to inject my sense of humor into a formal event like a wedding. If he can do that for me, he can literally do anything you want for you to make the experience exactly what you're looking for. 10/10 Don't even think about using anyone else. More...

This is an incredible company. Eric planned our entire event in the meetings we had prior to the day, including a meeting with the vendor. I was able to easily add the songs I wanted through their website. Eric was also very responsive to our questions, even prior to being hired.

Eric and Sergio were on top of the music during the ceremony, and added a sophisticated touch throughout the entire event, including the toasts when they announced the speakers. They juggled the music very well as we had a combination on Indian, American, and Jewish music. They also handled the transitions between events well (for example, from the toasts to the performance, and so on). They were very professional and friendly, and worked with guests and other vendors. I can't recommend them enough!

Eric is a true professional. I was immeasurably impressed with his approach, structure, flexibility as well as his personal touch. We interviewed 4-5 DJ groups and Eric's approach stood out immediately. His prices are competitive, but what isn't reflected in his price is the added attention and care that he exerts to ensure 110% satisfaction in his execution on the 'day of event'. He not only provided the entertainment within the reception, but the audio for the ceremony. Every detail was cared for in his preparation and the final product. So many of our guests commented to us during and after the event that the music, the moments and the narratives were incredible.

We recommend Eric without any qualifications to do your event.

We were extremely pleased with Eric and his services on our wedding day.
He took the time to get to know my (now) husband and I through multiple interviews, and we were confident that he knew exactly what we were expecting. He was one of our favorite vendors to work with, and we would not have changed one thing about his work. Many of our guests pleasantly commented on the "Love Story", and how they admired the "extra touch" he put in to entertaining everyone.
We felt like we had a formed a special bond and friendship with Eric, that by the time of our wedding, he felt like one of our guests.
We highly recommend Eric for a unique and personable experience. You will not be disappointed. He will create something you didn't think could exist.

I met Eric at a wedding expo a year before my wedding. After our initial conversation, I knew that he had to be our DJ. He has such an upbeat and personable personality and really cares about his clients. My husband and I had multiple meetings with Eric before the event, so all music selections and details were perfect. If we had moments of being indecisive or didn't know the answer to a question, Eric was patient and helped us through. While his music selections were on point, his personal touches are what really stole the show. Some of our favorite moments from the wedding are moments that Eric had orchestrated. He had our guests laughing, dancing, and having a great time. I had multiple guests come to tell me that Eric was one of the best DJs they've encountered. My husband and I are extremely grateful for Eric and the way he helped to create our perfect day! More...

Eric gives it his all! He takes the time and puts in the work to really make your reception personal to you. At first I had my doubts about some of his ideas, but he was spot on. People are still talking about the personalized introductions and the Love Story now two months after the wedding. Those were two highlights of the reception that people remember because they aren't things you typically see at a wedding reception. Leading up to the wedding, Eric was easy to work with....probably the least stressful part of the wedding planning process. More...

There was some miscommunication on my part for the meetings with Fred (I didn't realize they were just Skype meetings, not in person, whoops!), but once we did have our meetings, it was clear that Fred was the best choice for us.

Q&As

A mixture of hits that range based on the guests at the event. If you can blend the music together as if it was a constant stream of music, then that makes it even better. Eric crafted his DJ skills on the vinyl turntables of a club, so he knows how to beatmix seamlessly, program music to cater to an audience and adapt of the fly. He has trained his staff these methodologies as well.

Upbeat, professional, and client focused. We don't play only one type of music, we cater the event to your vision and what you want guests to experience.

Eric: The exhilarating high that comes from a dance floor that doesn't stop, reacts to the mix and appreciates the talent being displayed. I also LOVE the relationships and friendships that we build with our clients. Every client becomes family.

Eric: I first became a DJ when I discovered the dance clubs. I was always into music with a music collection of over 600 CDs by the time I graduated from high school, but when I discovered that you could mix, blend, and recreate music in a way that would invigorate people, my future was determined. That was going to be me.

Our relationships with our clients are built on trust and a determination to make every event something worth talking about.
