Unforgettable Night, Thanks to DJ D-Smooth!
We hired Derrick and his assistant Kevin for our wedding on May 23, 2026, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish.
From the moment we submitted an inquiry through his website, Derrick was professional, responsive, and organized. He quickly set up an initial meeting to discuss our vision, followed by a detailed questionnaire closer to the wedding date and a final meeting to review everything. Every interaction was personable and efficient. Derrick clearly has a lot of experience and knows exactly what questions to ask to understand a couple's vision. He took the time to get to know us, learn our preferences, and then used his expertise to bring everything together.
What impressed me most was how he managed our very different musical tastes. I love DJ remixing, R&B, reggaeton, and high-energy party music. My fiancé (now husband) prefers smoother transitions, punk rock, and classic hits. On top of that, my family is Latina and his family is Filipino. Derrick had quite the challenge in front of him, but he absolutely nailed it.
During dinner, he curated elegant music that perfectly matched the atmosphere of our venue, something he instinctively knew to do without us even mentioning it. He even slipped in some classy cover songs that I loved, which was a wonderful surprise. He understood exactly how to elevate the experience while maintaining the sophisticated atmosphere we wanted.
Then, when it was time to party, Derrick and Kevin truly delivered. They built the energy throughout the evening until the dance floor was packed. Derrick blended great beats with some creative remixing for me and switching to smooth transitions that my husband appreciated. He found the perfect balance. He also incorporated punk rock, cultural music for the Titas and Titos, and songs that brought guests of all ages onto the dance floor.
Derrick also MC'd throughout the evening, handling announcements and transitions with clarity and charisma. Everything flowed naturally and kept the night moving smoothly.
Another thing we appreciated was that there was absolutely no pressure when discussing additional rentals and services. We chose to rent four 360 lights and his digital photo booth, and both were fantastic additions. The lighting elevated the party atmosphere, and the photo booth was a huge hit with our guests. Derrick even provided us with copies of all the photos and videos afterward, which has become a wonderful keepsake from our wedding day.
The best compliment we can give is that our guests are still talking about the music. So many people came up to us during and after the reception to tell us how amazing our DJs were and that this was one of the best weddings they had ever attended.
Derrick and Kevin were a huge part of making our reception unforgettable. They read the crowd perfectly, kept the energy high, and created an experience that truly reflected us as a couple. We are incredibly grateful for everything they did and would hire them again without hesitation.
Thank you, Derrick and Kevin. You helped create memories that will last a lifetime, and you've earned loyal customers for life.
