We LOVED hiring Derrick. Absolutely LOVED. We hired him for my husbands 40th birthday party which was Oktoberfest theme. I chatted with Derrick on the phone and immediately knew he was my guy. I explained I wanted Oktoberfest / Polka music for the first hour and then 80s / hits for the remaining 2 hrs. Derrick was extremely confident that he could do it. From the minute he arrived he was friendly, kind, professional, and had such a wonderful energy. Derrick DELIVERED!!!! We ended up paying for Derrick to stay longer because he was such a huge hit at our party. He played fantastic music, took recommendations, was approachable, and brought his Saxophone (which I asked for!) . Derrick blew us away and will be the only person I hire moving forward! We loved having him and he did amazing!

Derek did an excellent job playing during our wedding ceremony. Before we started he entertained our guests with some nice classics. Then the ceremony. It was beautiful. Thanks Derek!
Dylan’s band played wonderful jazz music for our wedding reception. Guests were in love with it. Also punctual and very professional.
I hired Derrick’s team for my wife’s bday party. The folks he sent were on point with respect to the music that we agreed on, they performed very well and all my guests were very impressed. Highly recommend his services!
Derrick and his friend Varad arrived at the venue promptly and mesmerized the crowd with Bollywood tunes they had prepared specially for my brothers wedding. Everyone was so impressed by their performance that we ended up extending it for an additional hour. Derrick is very talented and i recommend everyone to give him an opportunity at their special occasions
This group made our small birthday party into an amazing celebration. All three musicians were Talented and had such a lovely set list. I will definitely be using their services again.
DERRICK WAS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT AND GAVE A SHOW STOPPING PERFORMANCE. We were so thrilled with his music selection, responsiveness and punctuality, and just overall demeanor. I would absolutely hire Derrick again for my event.
Derrick and crew were the life and soul of our party! They came on time, set up efficiently, and read the rhythm of the party perfectly. The first set established a chilled vibe and by the second set, the band picked up the pace and really got the party going. I was initially reluctant to include a vocalist, but she was absolutely fabulous, with lush, lively vocals. Many of my guests got dancing, and everyone commented on how much fun the band was!
