Creating The Vibe

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!!

DJ Derek Holt was phenomenal to work with – he listened to our ideas and provided insightful suggestions based on our needs. He was so easy to work with and responsive. Day of he rocked the house nailing all the little details we’d asked him to mention, getting the party started and rocking everything through the night. Our guests told us it was the first wedding they went to where everyone was on the dance floor the whole night! I also need to mention that our wedding happened while the blizzard was approaching / hitting Boston. DJ Derek kept right at it not once showing concern about the mounds of snow building or saying we need to pull / leave. The team stayed true to their contract and for that I am extremely grateful – A+++++++ experience!

We give DJ Holtie 5 Stars!! DJ Holtie had the whole wedding amped up from the beginning to the very last second. He played the hottest new music while mixing it up with some old classics that everyone loves. If you want an amazing unforgettable wedding with dancing and partying all night long DJ Holtie is definitely the man for the job.

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.

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!
