A Great Job Reading The Crowd
Eric did a wonderful job with everything. Before the event I emailed him multiple times updating and changing songs and even services that Eric was providing. I added services about a week or two out to what Eric was already providing and he was willing to work with me and made all the changes that I requested.
Eric played guitar for the seating of guests at the ceremony, played recorded music for the ceremony, provided a sound recording of the ceremony, provided uplights at the reception, played music on separate speakers during the cocktail hour, and most importantly Eric got guests out on the dance floor and kept them out there. I have been told over and over by guests how wonderful of a job Eric did with the music. I left all the music up to Eric during the dancing at the reception and he did a great job reading the crowd.
Eric was great
Eric was great. We planned our wedding on our own from out of town and played a lot of things by ear the day of the wedding. Eric is very kind and calming while still being able to get things done in a moment’s notice and take charge when required. He was great playing tunes on the guitar during our ‘cocktail hour’ before going in to DJ mode and making sure everyone had fun. Great stuff, thanks again Eric.
A Wonderful Time
Eric was a wonderful DJ for our event; he was flexible with our event requests and made sure our guests had a wonderful time!
Eric Made My Night a Whole Lot Less Stressful
Thank you for the great job you did at our wedding! Eric made my night a whole lot less stressful and of course so much fun! It was a night to remember. He did an amazing job! He was on time, set up quickly, and was very nice and professional through the whole wedding.
Even with being professional he was fun and made the mood for the crowd. I got so many comments about how great you were from the guests. He fed off of the vibe of the group and played all the right songs at the right time. He was great with any changes I made last minute. The music was perfect and everyone had a blast. He did a wonderful job!!!
Not only Special, but Spectacular!
We are so thankful for Eric’s talent and expertise as both a DJ, and master of ceremonies! He met and exceeded our expectations as he shared his talent with us for both cocktail hour and the reception. There was never a lull in the dancing, as he kept the repertoire of songs in perfect order……without a pause. His professional demeanor and ability to provide even more that we expected is tremendously appreciated!
Thanks so much for all you did to make our evening not only special, but spectacular! We thought everything was perfect, and I so appreciate all your expertise at making it so! Thanks also for working with Maddie and bringing about that solo! (song on guitar) We felt like you truly “made” the reception a huge hit! And GREAT photos…..we so appreciate you sending them!
The Girls Went Nuts!
Eric was amazing! He played a whole list of songs my husband and I had put together but worked some other nice songs in as well to help our music list flow. Our group of friends is very silly and Eric did a great job just playing along with our wackiness (he picked really funny songs for the bouquet and garter toss and he even played along with the guys when they decided to kick the girls off the dance floor so they could dance to “girls just wanna have fun”).
He did a really good job of reading our group to decide which songs he should play (like when he busted out some Backstreet Boys and the girls went nuts!) We were originally planning to not have a DJ but changed our minds at the last minute and Eric was very accommodating and responsive even though we were already down to the wire when we hired him. He really helped to make the night a blast and we have had so many friends mention that they’ve never had more fun at a wedding before. We couldn’t have been happier!
Eric Took the Lead in Really Listening To The Crowd
Eric was a great DJ for our wedding this year! Having not been to many weddings in the past, I wasn’t sure of what kind of music to play. With Eric’s help he allowed me to choose songs I like as well as incorporate requests from guests.
Eric took the lead in really listening to the crowd’s wants and everyone came back to me saying what great entertainment we had! He was so helpful in the planning process as well, with suggestions about first dances, entrances, and timing. Overall the reception would not have been nearly as fun without entertainment from Eric!
There Was No Other DJ for Us
Eric was our DJ for our VERY laid back & whimsical wedding. We had our ceremony + reception in the backyard of a house we rented. The hustle & bustle preceding the ceremony would have made some vendors want to run in fear, as there was so much to be done, so much that was last minute, so much that had to have room for last minute changes, and Eric immersed himself in it all with a smile.
By the time I finally saw Eric, I was walking down the aisle toward my groom, and Eric was accompanying my best friend with “Harvest Moon” on the guitar. I couldn’t have envisioned a more perfect moment to kick our day off. Having Eric be a part of that launched an immediate connection & he continued to entertain us & our guests ALL night with funky tunes radiating in those mountains.
There was no other DJ for us. I HIGHLY recommend Eric for your event. He is very easy to work with, and brings his own personality & happiness to your day that you will always cherish.
A Fantastic Musician and DJ!
Eric Everett is a fantastic musician and DJ! From the very beginning, he was great to communicate with! He always responded to my emails in a timely manner. His acoustic guitar playing was very beautiful and he was able to accommodate my request for a song that wasn’t on his list. He also did a fabulous job at our reception as DJ! Our venue owner was very impressed with his professionalism, his communication, and his knowledge of the flow of a typical wedding reception.
My guests had a blast and almost all were out on the dance floor at some point! He did an excellent job of incorporating the songs we requested and reading the crowd! Many people commented it was the most fun they had had at a wedding. If you choose him to be your DJ and/or your wedding musician, you will not be disappointed!
Always Available to Talk To
Eric was such a wonderful DJ. He worked so well with us, and was incredibly flexible. We had to reserve pretty last minute, the timing of the event was a bit of a mess, but he worked with me on everything.
He was always available to talk to, fulfilled all our requests, and knew how to play the best type of music. My guests all had such a wonderful time, I would definitely work with him again.
