Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 9, 2014•From Woodbury, NJ

Many guest gave me "excellent" compliments on Derek. Some people said at times they were not sure if it was him actually singing or was it a record. Outstanding entertainer!

Excellent Entertainer! He arrived early, set up without issue, did several great sets, took requests, his vocals are tremendous, and he had the whole restaurant rocking! People were up dancing, and we have several folks asking us to be sure to book Derek again - which we will! Highly recommended. Bob Bender Borghis Restaurant

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 26, 2012•From Wayne, NJ

Derek Evan was very nice and helpful in his selection of songs for our party He had a lot of people dancing which made our party a big success. Our 70 th birthday party consisted of different age groups His mixture of songs everyone of all ages enjoyed. I had many people ask me for his card for future reference. He was very friendly and he sang along with many of the songs. I selected Derek because of his songs on his site and was not disappointed in my selection. His performance, professionalism, and overall friendliness made me and everyone else very comfortable. I will definitely use Derek Evan for any future parties.

Derek was great. He did a wonderful job. It was very hot and we were outside so there was not much dancing, but everyone enjoyed his singing and he had the right mix of music for the group. Would definitely use him again and/or recommend him to friends.

Derek was exactly what I was looking for. He not only played, and sang 50's music with alacrity, but he was able to accomodate requests for music of any genre and era. I was very pleased with his courtesy, professionalism, talent, and price.

Derek was a hit at our adult birthday party the other night. He obviously enjoys what he does and so did we. Each song was sung beautifully and brought back fond memories for everyone. Derek seems to have perfect pitch, a smooth melodic voice and a range that will leave you begging for more!

Derek sang amazing. Not only did Derek brought back many fond memories from that era, he sang the songs flawless. Everyone at the party truly enjoyed his performance.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 22, 2010•From Totowa, NJ

Derek was the DJ for our 50th Doo Wop Birhday Party and the party was a great success. He had a large selection of 50's - 60's music and his singing was great. We recieved a lot of possitive comments regarding the party,entertainment and requests for Derek's contact information from friends who would like to contact him for their future parties.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 9, 2010•From Chalfont, PA

Derek did a super job at our Annual Christmas Party. Unfortunately, some of his time was taken up by our drawn out gift giving. The weather also played a factor in that it was a nasty night and people just needed to get home. I would not hesitate to recommend Derek for gigs in the future.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 27, 2008•From Eatontown, NJ

Derek was excellent!!!! We threw a 70th surprise party for my mother in law at the Sheraton Eatontown in Eatontown, NJ in Monmouth County. The hotel did a phenomenal job at decorating in the 50's theme and coming up with a creative and delicious 50's menu. The staff catered to our every need. It got even better once Derek belted out his first song. His talent made for a super successful event. Everyone is raving about the party from the hotel to Derek's singing. Derek is extremely talented and a true professional. Everyone at the party of every age group danced all night to Derek's entertainment. We had a blast! I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you!!!

Derek was very responsive during the planning stage. He confirmed prior to the event and was extremly flexible. He choose great music, sang beautifully and took requests. All the guests had a AWESOME time!! I know our event (50th wedding anniversary) would not have been nearly as much fun if Derek wasn't there. Truly! I would highly recommend him to any event!!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 15, 2007•From Hopatcong, NJ

Derek provided a wonderful experience for my father-in-law's surprise 70th birthday party. He provided exactly what we were looking for as well as accomodated requests from the guests. He was professional, prompt, and added just the right touch to our party. His singing was exceptional, he willingly stayed overtime as the guests were having such a good time, and got rave reviews from our guests. I would, without a doubt, hire Derek again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ/singer.

Derek was quite a hit with my guests. I frequently have entertainers from the NJ casinos here, have paid much more, and have not topped his professionalism. He will be iited back.

Derek was very sick the night of my party, but managed to make it through the entire party. Although he was unable to sing too much, he did impress my guests and the party was a success. I will definately hire him again in the future as he is obviously extremely talented and very professional!
