Erik de Klerk
I have been a radio and mobile DJ for 20+ years, I am very eclectic, versatile and able to read any type of crowd. Being eclectic is my strong point. Since I provide services for all types of events ranging in ages I know what all age groups like.

Reading a crowd is like an art and this is what I do best. Anyone can play songs or come up with a play-list but the art is knowing what songs to play, when to play them and how to mix them all together. This helps people feel a certain way and encourages them to express it on the dance floor. The same could be said for visual artists. Everyone has access to colors, brushes and canvasses but only people with a trained eye can take those tools to create a work of art.

I take what I do seriously but know how to party. In other words, I take partying seriously! :-) I can take your ideas and match them with my skills to turn your vision into a reality. If you need help to create a great party I'll be more than happy to assist.

Unlike a majority of DJ's I don't have another job and do this on the side, this is ALL I do. I am liability insured, I have back-up equipment and in the very unlikely case of a serious illness I also have a back-up DJ on standby as well. In addition to providing DJ services I also offer karaoke and many lighting solutions for your event. If you want skill and knowledge and just want things done right, I'm your DJ.

Everyone at our Family Reunion enjoyed DJ Erik in comparison to another DJ we used the day after Erik!

Name: Phillips Family Reunion

---------------------------------------------------------------

I could not have asked for a better DJ and MC than Erik. He was an 11/10. For our wedding he made the whole evening run so smoothly. It was obvious that this was not his first rodeo. He was very professional and personable. His humor and quick wittedness made the night even more enjoyable than it was already! His rates are some of the most reasonable in the business. Especially compared to some of the djs like, my coworkers wedding, that is 2,000 minimum. Anyways, I could not say enough good things about Erik. If you have a wedding or party that you want to run smoothly and be an absolute blast, Erik’s your guy.

Erik is amazing and a consummate professional! I would love to work with him again! My only suggestion would be to set up a standardized file share system, i uploaded my custom songs to google drive, but i bet if the system was all worked out on your end (maybe a web based FTP system) it would be a lot easier on the DJ.

Erik was awesome from the beginning to the end of this process. He called me unsolicited after I obtained an e-mail quote. Without that call, I likely would not have followed up with this company. Then Erik answered all of my questions and got us well prepared for the event. The on-line tools were also very helpful. Erik obtained music that we wanted but he did not have. That saved me from having to remember to bring CD's to the venue. He dressed in the proper attire and even wore our colors. He was prompt to the event, continually checked in with me to keep running things smoothly, played all of our request and made all of our announcements. He gets a 10 out of 10 from me.

Enjoyed EVERYTHING about this whole deal, from the booking, email contact, the actual event. The event was just wonderful. I'll be sure to give a great recommendation to anyone who might need mobile DJ service!

Erik did an outstanding job getting our students excited about the games and he worked with the pool owner making necessary announcements. We appreciated his professionalism and flexibility at our event. I would recommend Erik and Great Rate DJs to everyone! Thank you for a wonderfully music filled event Eric!

Nothing! Erik is a top of the line DJ, Ultimate professional, awesome personality, fun and engaging and very easy on the eyes! Truly, everyone enjoyed his services and we will use him in the future for all corporate and personal events.

Additional comments or suggestions?

Can't say enough. Arrived on time and was set up as requested by 12:00pm ready to go! I feel very fortunate to have found him as I interviewed several people who responded to my needs for a DJ on that date and he was by far the most friendly on the phone and very affordable rates. This was a low key event and if he could make this one so fun....just wait for our KICK BUTT ones...oh yes.. Erik is our choice.

We hired a DJ for our daughter's wedding. I have to say this was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. DJ Erik was absolutely fabulous! He was prompt, professional while staying behind the scenes of all the wedding reception. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, this is the place to book. You won't be disappointed and their rates are very reasonable. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Nothing needed improvement. It was all perfect.

Erik went above and beyond to help with some technical difficulties with the facilities equipment. This wasn't even his job but he took the time to help and was very knowledgeable and capable and everything worked out in the end. Erik was patient, flexible and calm and there were a few things that were a challenge (that were out of his control and not his responsibility) but he found good workarounds and ensured that our event came together perfectly, despite some snafu's from the facility. He made our event fun with the right amount of respect and discretion for a wedding reception. He was perfect.
