Feedback
- exactly what i wanted for my 60th birthday a true rock and roll event and he did it
do not miss his singing unreal!!!!! -- Barbara S, mountain lakes, NJ, 5/4/2012
- Prior to the party, Derek responded promptly to all emails and accepted our song list in advance so he could be sure he had everything we wanted. He set up in plenty of time so he was ready to go when the guests arrived. He opened the dance floor right away, invited people to dance without being aggressive about it. He introduced songs from time to time, and even made a weird announcement about the cake for me! (A silly way to let people know it was time for cake.) He was willing to have us make speeches, but everyone was having such a good time with the music and dancing that we all forgot about speeches.
I would definitely hire him again. -- Marilyn C, Rockaway, NJ, 6/17/2011
- Derek did a great job, he is a wonderful performer and a talented singer which was a bonus. I would recommend him to anyone. -- Cindy R, Warren, NJ, 4/23/2011
- Derek was very professional and we loved that he dealt with us personally. He kept everyone at our company holiday party on the dance floor and moving! We hired him at the last minute when our previous DJ cancelled on us and he put everything together very quickly - the event was a huge success! Can't thank you enough Derek! -- Courtney R, Blairstown, NJ, 12/18/2010
- We couldn't have been more pleased with Derek's performance at our daughter's Sweet Sixteen Party! Derek arrived early and was well prepared. He played all of the songs our daughter requested in advance as well as those of her guests during the evening.
It is a difficult task to get 16 year old boys up on the dance floor but, in no time at all, Derek managed to do so and the feedback my daughter has received from her friends over the past few days has been wonderful.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Derek Evan to my friends for their future events. He was professional, charismatic and very, very entertaining! -- Kathy C, Netcong, NJ, 12/4/2010
- Derek Evan was an asset to our 40th high school reunion celebration. We had an agenda, and he graciously and patiently accepted our requests for usage of the microphone, song requests, and announcements that we asked him to make. He even held the microphone for one of classmates while she sang a rather lengthy song. He is a true professional, and I would definately recommend him to friends, as well as retain his services for future events that we may have. Thank you, Derek for helping make our reunion a huge success! - Susan Sangenario -- Susan S, Boonton, NJ, 11/6/2010
- Derek was the perfect DJ FOR US. HE WAS FAST AT GETTING BACK TO ME THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE Planning process. THe night of the wedding he was there early and was prepared and ready to go ahead of time. He was great during the reception playing everything we ask for. -- Angela A, Vernon, NJ, 7/15/2010
- Yes, he performed very nicely even though 78% of our guests are Korean.
He handle whole program very smooth and professionaly.
I like his music display for whole time and I will recommend to other person who looking for DJ & MC.
He done very nicely.
Thank you Mr. Evan!!!
Eunice Park from mother of bride -- Eunice P, Garfield, NJ, 11/7/2009
- Prompt responses to all email.
Very good communication.
Professional and accommodating.
Well prepared for the party and venue.
Came early for set-up and stayed late when the guests where still having
such an enjoyable time. DJ Derk Evan was instrumental in the overall success of this very important event.
With appreciation and high recommendations.
-- Doug S, Budd Lake, NJ, 8/15/2009
- Wonderful performer and Dj! Made my day special. :-) -- Nicole L, Bedminster, NJ, 4/25/2009
- Derek was very accomodating and my daughter loved all the music he had with him! Great selection. . .She wished he had more lighting and the sound was good but did not go loud enough...The room we had party in was quite large and has high ceiling, so that might have had something to do with it. The kids asked him to turn up some of the songs, but he was already at max volume. It was fine for us older folks, but you know how the kids like it? Overall, we were very happy with him, the party was a success and they danced all night long! Thank You Derek and Thank You Gigmasters. We will spread the word! Vicki and Deanna Romano -- Vicki R, Newton, NJ, 3/2/2012
