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!

DJ Holtie was an excellent choice for our wedding reception DJ!!! Throughout the process of planning our wedding music, Derek was responsive, easy to work with, and helpful with suggestions for our entrance to the reception, first dance, father-daughter dance, etc. He also proved to be a charismatic MC for our toasts and for getting our guests on the dance floor. Speaking of the dance floor…Derek kept it full all night with smart transitions and a great mix of old and new songs– some of which we had requested and some of which he added in himself to complement our choices. And, Derek seamlessly managed all of this despite having to work with an awkward room layout.  We have no regrets about going with Derek for our wedding reception, and give him our highest recommendation for yours!  Thanks DJ Holtie!

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!

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!
