We had a wonderful experience with Derek. He was well prepared for our event, and was able to make changes on the fly when we threw him a curve ball or two on the day of (added some introductions). We were not into having a lot of announcements or DJ interaction (hyping) and pretty much just asked Derek to do introductions and play good music, and he absolutely delivered. From dinner on there were constant people on the dance floor and he met all of our request and expectations. We gave Derek a lot of freedom to select music based on a bunch of song/genres we liked and I can’t say I could have asked for anything better.  Overall I would feel confident that Derek can deliver what you want, especially if you are looking for a good dance party. He caters to what YOU want and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to do another event if I needed him.

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 Holt from Entertainment Specialists recently DJ’d our wedding last month in Hingham, MA and did an amazing job! I’m so glad we chose him. He was easy to work, really responsive ahead of the big day and more importantly played a great mix of music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night. The music was definitely the highlight of the evening. He was professional, friendly, and well worth the cost. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ in the Boston area.

On May 15 this year we had our big day. It was perfect in every way and a large part of that was because of DJ Holtie. That guy is amazing. He nailed every aspect of our formal songs and introductions, and did so with an awesome energy. Then it was on to the party… The second he started spinning, the dance floor was flooded! It stayed that way until the very last second! We never wanted him to stop! Most people had a hard time stepping outside to cool off or go to the bar for a drink because the music was that good! Nobody wanted to leave. We’ve been hearing about how amazing he was from everyone who attended, regardless of age. Quite a few of our guests have weddings coming up and he is officially their guy. One couple even cancelled their already hired DJ because he swept them off their feet. DJ Holtie will forever be massive part of what we remember about our day. He brought the party to a whole other level. Thanks Holtie!!!

DJ Holtie was AWESOME. He rocked our wedding (June 6, 2015) and was everything we wanted in a DJ and more.. and he was affordable! We first met DJ Holtie at an Entertainment Specialists wedding exposition in Boston at the Harvard Club. We immediately liked him, he was laid back and seemed very comfortable talking with us and seemed like he was going to be very accommodating to all of our music needs. We could tell he wouldn’t be the overbearing (i.e. getting on the mic and yelling etc etc). Leading up to our event DJ Holtie helped keep us organized and was very attentive to our ceremony and reception personalization. During the wedding itself he rocked it. Other than a few “must plays” and a few “definitely do not play” we pretty much gave him free reign to feel out the crowd and keep people dancing… and he did an incredible job. The dance floor was packed from as soon as it opened until the end of the night. In addition to being a great DJ, Derek was a really nice guy! We were even lucky enough to see him at another wedding later in the summer and he did an equally great job. Thank you DJ Holtie, keep rocking it.
