DJ Holtie was excellent! He kept everyone on the dance floor and honored all of our requests. He did the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception and it all worked out perfectly. Highly recommend!

Derek Holt was our DJ for the event. We really had one requirement for the wedding, and that was that it be as wild a party as possible. While we were given the opportunity to have input regarding music selection, I would say in retrospect just leaving it up to Derek was the best thing we could have done. We felt like he had our best interest in mind the entire evening. Even when some guests with hearing aids gave Derek heat for the music volume, he didn’t budge because he knew it would put a damper on the party. (And he told us that he would take the blame, because we certainly didn’t want the music turned down!!) Absolutely epic time and wouldn’t have been the same without him. You’d be a fool not to hire this guy. He was everything we could have asked for and more!!

Derek did an awesome job. Our reception went off without a hitch and it was the party of our lives!! He was very receptive to special requests we had and made sure he would pronounce everyone’s names correctly. Very professional, thorough, fun! Entertainment Specialists in general was wonderful. They made it easy to book Derek and communicate through email. Thank you for keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long!

My wife and I hired Derek Holt to be our DJ for our wedding in September and we could not have been happier! We are extremely picky when it comes to music, DJs, etc. and Derek absolutely nailed it. Derek met with us to review everything that we wanted to hear as well as our vision on what we wanted for the wedding, he took that information and had our wedding guests dancing all night. We would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!

We hired DJ Derek Holt for our Newport wedding and were impressed from our very first point of contact! Derek was quick to respond to emails and texts and was very professional. Most importantly, Derek was very perceptive and understood the exact vibe we envisioned for our wedding reception. He had our wedding guests on their feet from the moment the dance floor opened until he played the final song. Guests were commenting throughout the night about how well he mixed up the music and kept people of all ages dancing. We would give him more stars if we could and recommend him without reservation! In addition to DJ Derek Holt, we had Keith Andrews do our uplighting. We only met him the day of the wedding, but he was incredibly personable and fun! He did a beautiful job with the uplighting throughout the evening, setting the tone for each part of the night from dinner to dancing, and making Belle Mer look even more spectacular!
