Typically, I expect a DJ to "run the show" and "entertain", which in reviewing your web site I saw you are a professional at that. But you are also a true professional because yesterday you delivered exactly what we asked for and wanted in providing ambiance and the perfect tone for our father's celebration of life at Paradise Point. Thank you! That's what I sent him in an email. He was great. read more

Eric DJ'd our wedding last weekend and he did a phenomenal job. We booked with Eric about over a year ago and he was always responsive whether it was via email, text, or call. He always made it a point to ask questions about us (the couple), our families and friends and what the crowd would be like so that he could make all the guests feel included and most importantly, to have fun. Honestly, our wedding playlist was great and Eric knew which songs to play first to last and he did such an amazing job mashing the songs together. Eric is also so organized which was important to us and he is also very kind. Overall, Eric knew our vision and he did a great job executing it. We were thrilled and our guests were happy. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone and everyone that we know! read more

Eric was amazing! He dj'd for my parents' wedding vow renewals last October. Super helpful in organizing and making sure that the event went off without a hitch! He came prepared with his own equipment; mics, speakers, av cable, and aux. Very easy to work with, and had great energy. His website made it easier for us to organize a timeline (even though we were running late on some things), and also ensured that we were able to cue up some specific songs for the night. Highly recommend that you get into contact with him about your next upcoming event! read more

Eric was the DJ for my wedding and I would recommend him for any wedding events. He was easy to work with and the mic he uses during the ceremony picked up sound perfectly. We were seaside and none of the wind noises got picked up. He also MC'ed and executed our dinner reception game flawlessly, it was a huge hit with our crowd. Music was also great, he played all the songs so wanted as well! read more

We had Eric DJ our wedding on 11/15/2024! He had great costumer service from the beginning. He played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception.

Eric was the DJ at our wedding in a beautiful California beachfront resort this past weekend. We had high, detailed expectations of all our vendors and he did a phenomenal job! He was very professional from the time we first met him through to the very end and even sent us a sweet message post-wedding. He really cares about his clients and their events! His song selection platform is really easy (and was fun) for us to use. His announcements were done exactly as we planned... I have only good things to say and would 100% recommend him! Great person and fun DJ! read more

ERIC STARR SAVED OUR WEDDING!! No joke, guys. Eric Starr is THE BEST in the business!! Why is that? Saddle up, kids. It's story time. So our wedding was last Saturday we were slated to have a really fun live band play at the wedding. Things were moving along until the day before the wedding, we get a call from the band leader. Bad news - the band had come down with COVID and couldn't play at the wedding. Cue absolute PANIC! My bride-to-be and I absolutely scrambled to find a band to fill in, but nobody was within our price range and, even harder, was available to play a wedding the next day! We were freaking out. That is, until our wedding coordinators contacted us and said that their go-to DJ, Mr. Eric Starr, had an opening on Saturday and was down to last-minute DJ our wedding. Our sighs of relief could be heard miles away. Now, we'd had our hearts set on not using a DJ and instead doing the live band experience, but after a conversation with Eric over the phone, we knew that Eric was the MAN for the job! He clued into all of our favorite musical stylings immediately, knew exactly what kind of genres we wanted to dance to, and offered some incredible suggestions to mimic the vibe of a live band and ensure that everyone would spend the whole night on that dance floor. AND BOY WAS HE RIGHT! The day of the wedding, Eric showed up HOURS before the wedding was scheduled to begin, just to make sure that all his equipment and everything was PERFECT and the sound would be exactly what we needed. If that doesn't scream "professional" to you, I don't know what will. The wedding kicked off and he MC'd the whole night as though he'd been preparing for our wedding for a year - when in reality he'd only had 1 DAY TO PREPARE FOR THIS THING!!! AND HE BLEW THE ROOF OFF OUR VENUE! People were dancing, drinking, and partying for hours thanks to Eric!! He was so on top of every aspect of the wedding and was in complete control every moment of the night. I was dumbstruck at how unbelievable this guy was! How he managed to get everything together and executed so perfectly in ONE DAY was completely astounding. And after the wedding, all of our guests wouldn't stop talking about how amazing the DJ was!! I heard it from so many people I started to finish their sentences for them - "Kevin your DJ was-" "Amazing. The best. Rocked it all night. Oh yes. I know!" And to top it all off, Eric threw in some freebies for our wedding that just ABSOLUTELY ELEVATED the entire venue!! Just because he's a cool guy and thought our wedding aesthetic would be kicked up a notch with his gift. And IT SURE AS HELL WAS! Book Eric Starr for your wedding, people. Trust me. There is no DJ out there in the greater San Diego area, much less the world that is better than my man Eric!! Incredible service, incredible professionalism, incredible talent, incredible prices. He's a one-man package and will take your event to new heights!! read more

Eric was such an amazing DJ. From when I first contacted him to the day of the wedding he had such great communication. His website portal is fantastic and easy to use which makes planning so easy. There are so many things I wouldn't have even thought about and due to the easy to fill out forms it made the day perfect. We had our ceremony at a park and our reception at Tower Beach Club. Eric was so accommodating and kind. He set up a portable system at the park equipped for music and speakers. He had shown up earlier in the day to set up the reception site so music was playing when people arrived. We are so happy we chose Eric to DJ our wedding. He was entertaining, had great music choices and had everyone dancing all night long! If you're looking for a great DJ that will have your guests dancing and make planning easy and stress free, then Eric is your guy! read more

Eric was phenomenal!!!! His online portal allowed me to be incredibly detailed for what song I wanted when, and the timeline of the night, down to exact announcements I wanted him to make. He showed up hours before the ceremony started - he even beat me! He had mics for my officiant, and a stand alone mic for a blessing from my dad. It was flawless and perfect and exactly the way I wanted it. At the reception, he brought the energy on the dance floor! Shortly after the music started my new husband and I were whisked away to take sunset romantic shots. As heartbroken as we were to leave the party we could hear the music & party noises from half a mile away, and the crowd was just loving it! The music was bumpin, the lights were flashing, the crowd was dancing - it was so much fun! read more

The process of researching and selecting a DJ for our wedding was incredibly overwhelming. There are so many to choose from - how can you figure out which one is the right one for you? We reached out to a few DJs that had been recommended to us but they weren't available on our date. We then got connected with Eric Starr and immediately felt comfortable with him. We initially reached out via text message and within 30 minutes received a response from Eric. We hopped on the phone and talked through all the services offered to determine what would work best for us. Since securing Eric for our wedding date, we had follow-up phone calls and emails with him to ensure all details were covered. His website has a member portal that is very user-friendly and captures a lot of very detailed information. Eric was personable and engaging with our guests. He didn't dominate the reception but kept the party going with no awkward pauses. Note: We were a same-sex wedding (2 grooms) and we felt very comfortable having Eric as our DJ. One of the reviews we read before securing Eric stated the same thing, which is why we felt very comfortable having him as our DJ. We would definitely recommend Eric and his DJ services! read more

We had Eric for our wedding on March 2nd, 2019 and he was fantastic! His prices are competitive, he offered many helpful tips and advice, and the wedding went on smoothly despite all my multiple questions leading up to the wedding. Eric has a website that helps you pick your songs and organize them according to your timeline. Also, Eric met with us and called us several days before to finalize the final details. Eric kept the wedding lively and fun and was an excellent MC! Hire Eric! He was a great addition to our vendor team read more

Awesome service! We hired DJ Estarr for our wedding in October. Eric was a pleasure to work with. Very friendly and went the extra mile to make sure our wedding went smoothly and was fun for our guests. He exceeded our expectations. He has a very careful and detail-oriented way of doing things - ensuring he executes his cues perfectly, avoids technical difficulties by preparing well in advance, and even accommodated our last minute program changes without complaints. I would definitely recommend Eric for any occasion. read more

Eric was amazing. If you are looking for a great DJ, look no further. He is extremely easy to work with, is organized and well prepared, and is easy to get in contact with. My wife and I did not have a wedding planner, so we were figuring things out as we went. Eric was able to help us set up our event timeline, resulting in an overall smooth evening. He arrived early, set up quickly, was ready to go, and was extremely personable to us and our guests. Hire this man! read more

Eric is AMAZING I cannot recommend him enough!! We hired him as our wedding DJ and he was absolutely amazing start to finish. He showed up early, set up everything perfectly for both our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, was clear and prompt with his communication ahead of time, and perfectly followed all of my music and audio requests. His equipment sounded great and his rates are very reasonable as well!! Seriously, easiest wedding decision we made was hiring him, you won't be disappointed! read more

We were recommended by our friend who recently got married to inquire about Dj service from Eric. We messages a Eric on yelp and got a response right away. Eric was accommodating to our business schedule. We meet other Dj's prior to meeting Eric, but Eric's professionalism stood out the most for us. He was the only one to show us a presentation of his services on a tablet. He showed us his equipment and samples of weddings he has down. The presentation was very interactive and gave us a sense of trust with his skills. Eric is very detail oriented. He gave us a website with clear instructions for adding the wedding party timeline, the songs we choose and introductions. He made sure to meet us to go over pronunciations if everyone's names. He was dress appropriately and was very cordial to those that requested songs and talked to him. During the ceremony everything went smoothly on his part. We had some planned live performances to do, surprises performances as well. He was able to accommodate those as well as keep the timing of activities almost to the timeline we planned. This was one less thing to worry about at the wedding. We couldn't of asked for better. We will be recommending his services to our family and friends. If and when we have future events that need a Dj we will be going to him for his awesome service. Thank you again Eric for making our wedding that much better. We appreciate everything you have done for us. read more

We selected Eric to provide our audio and music entertainment for our wedding after seeing his work at a friend's 10 year anniversary celebration. We loved his work at our friends event and he certainly didn't disappoint at our wedding. Not only did he help us execute without a glitch, but he was so incredibly easy to work with leading up to our day. He did a great job in helping us prepare and execute a two location event with a beach ceremony and banquet room reception. He's professional, organized and a great communicator making our experience with him stress free and truly enjoyable. I would highly recommend Eric for your special events. Friends and family have told us our wedding was the funnest wedding they've ever been to and that was in large part due to Eric's stellar job. Thank you Eric for making our wedding day truly a memorable experience! read more

Our wedding was this past Saturday (5/7/2022) and we're so glad we hired DJ Eric!! I would highly recommend DJ Eric for future weddings due to his positive attitude, professionalism, and charisma. DJ Eric was prompt in responding to all of my emails, calls, and messages. I did a lot of research on different DJ services in the San Diego area and I made the right choice picking DJ Eric because our wedding went incredibly smooth! DJ Eric wasn't just on time to our wedding; in fact, he showed up several hours early to ensure all of the equipment was working properly and he was very cheerful! Thank again DJ Eric, we appreciate you!! read more

Eric was so wonderful at our wedding! It was super easy to request the songs we wanted to play and he made sure he got it all right at the perfect times! I would highly recommend Eric for any of your DJ needs!! Thanks Eric :) read more

We hired Eric to be our DJ at our wedding several weeks ago. Eric did an excellent job! He helped us in our song selection and organization ahead of time. He prompted conversation and good questions to ensure proper flow of the event. He showed up hours before the ceremony to make sure the setup was done promptly and well ahead of schedule. And he played the music we requested. He was even able to get a tentative and tough crowd (yes, some of us have two left feet) to dance, be engaged, be involved, and relax into the moment! He also played exactly the music we asked for ahead of time. Overall, Eric did a great job and I would recommend him in the future! read more

Eric did a phenomenal job for our wedding. He did a through meeting right before the big day and I completely trusted him with his expertise. During the wedding day, he followed the timeline seamlessly and was even flexible with sone minor last minute changes we requested. Overall, we cannot thank Eric enough for his services. Highly recommend! read more

E Starr Entertainment - Had such a great time!! Beautiful up-lights as well! - DJs Near Me

Eric was terrific. He was very professional and accommodating and created a great vibe at our party. I would highly recommend him!

Eric was the dj at my daughter's wedding last week at the Bali Hai. He ran the whole show: wedding music, microphones, reception announcements; plus playing our requested music throughout the evening. He is easy to work with and is very organized. He can read the room and play music to keep guests on the dance floor. We talked with him a few times before the wedding to go over the order of events and our music list. So by the time the wedding started I was able to relax and just enjoy the "show". Thank you Eric for helping to make my daughter's day memorable. I would recommend your services to anyone who is looking for a stress free event coordinated by a down to earth DJ. read more

Booking Eric was the best decision as our DJ/MC for our wedding at Sacred Mountain in Julian. From start to finish, he was amazing to communicate and coordinate with. He had an online system where we entered each song we wanted to play and when, in addition to other songs we wanted to play during the evening. During our Ceremony, we had a pianist and guitarist and he was more than willing to work with them on sound/mics/etc. He was prompt and organized, setting up three different areas with sound and mics for us. Our dance floor did not stop all night. He had lights and a monitor that played the videos of the songs we were dancing to. When there wasn't a video available, he setup a slideshow of some of our favorite photos together. His cues and transitions were seamless. It was an overall delight to have him as our DJ/MC on our big day :) read more

E Starr Entertainment did such a fantastic job of playing all the greatest music, keeping everything flowing smoothly and on time and making sure our guests had the best time! We will never use anyone else!! read more

Wonderful time with Eric during my wedding time. Very nice person!!! Professional DJ skills!! From KD read more

Eric DJ'd our 07/17/2015 wedding at the Martin Johnson House in La Jolla. We met with him in March, and knew immediately that we wanted him for our day! We were really focused on picking out our own music for most of the day, wanting more indie and rock earlier during cocktail and dinner, and then modern party music with songs for the older generations mixed in for the dancing part of the evening. He listened to all of our requests, and thenput together seamless selectrions of music that incorporated what we wanted, but also kept the whole day moving! We even had some silly requests (an uncle of mine and his sons did a little skit, we had some friends do a choreographed dance later in the evening), and he handled them all with tact and made sure everyone felt included. I even requested if Eric could play "Timber" by Kesha a second time later in the night (it's my favorite party song), and he told me "I'll play anything you want, you're the bride!" Eric is also very tech savvy, which made our lives so much easier among all our wedding vendors. He accepts credit card payment, and you complete your timeline, song requests, etc through his secure website. After an initial face to face meeting, we had one phone meeting shortly before our wedding. Otherwise we completed everything online at our own pace, which was really helpful! Thank you Eric for keeping our party going on a high note and working with all of our special requests. I would recommend Eric to anyone! read more

E Starr Entertainment - Eric had all of our guests on the dance floor the whole night! - DJs Near Me

See all

Eric, thank you for the amazing work you did for our wedding! We have no complaints, only compliments to the quality of your work. We hired Eric to be the DJ (and emcee) for our wedding. He was very easy to work with. His extensive experience with weddings and calm demeanor was very helpful in relieving some of the burden on an already stressful wedding planning. He is really easy to reach for any questions you might have. He was very chill and relaxed. Even with some last minute changes, he was still able to deliver! During the wedding, he was basically on autopilot. He knew what to do and when to do it. Our guests loved him! He tailored the music to his audience (we had both young and old guests) -- a good mix of slow and fast, old and new songs. He even did an impromptu karaoke with the monitor he brought with him, which I think was very impressive. He also provided uplighting, which is not too much or too little -- just perfect! With Eric, you would really get the bang for your buck! He's a DJ, emcee, and even a wedding coordinator (he was coordinating with our caterer, photographer, and videographer at the reception) all in one. You can't ask for a more suitable person for your wedding. He is such a great person and you will be very lucky to have him at your event. read more

My husband and I got married about two years ago. You can read his review under Evan Y. We interviewed quite a few DJs and we like Eric immediately. He was very easy to work with and very personable. We had our wedding held at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park, San Diego. Our guests were spread out throughout the garden. You can hear the music playing real good. During our ceremony, you can heard us clearly. We highly recommends him to be part of your special day, especially if you have an outdoor event. Thanks a bunch, Eric! read more

E Starr Entertainment - Eric at work. - DJs Near Me

WOW WOW WOW! I hired Eric to be the DJ for my wedding this past November and I can't praise him enough for all his help and superb skills as a DJ. First off, I hired Eric about 3 weeks before my wedding as we had an issue with our original DJ. With all the things still needing to be done, I found Eric on here and quickly contacted him hoping he is still available for my wedding. To my luck, we met up and was so professional with how he delivered himself and his business that I hired him right on the spot. His song layout was very detailed and quite organized that I know I didn't have to worry about anything during my reception. He was also very helpful with things that he wasn't even contracted to do. Overall, he was honestly the BEST DJ I've ever seen in any weddings I've been to. The crowd of over 200 people were all pumped up on the dance floor and heck, my grandparents were dancing the night away as if it was the 1950s! That's how you know you picked the right and most perfect DJ for a wedding. Thank you Eric for all your help! read more

Eric was a great DJ! He was so easy to work with and organized. His website made the planning process super easy. He responds in a very timely matter. At the wedding he was fully prepared and arrived on time. He had a nice set up and played all the music I wanted. Overall he was great and helped make planning less stressful. read more

Our wedding would not have been as fantastically memorable as it was, if it were not for Eric's DJ services! Eric treats his clients with the greatest attention, and is so easily accessible in terms of communication. His thoughtfulness and suggestions in helping us plan out our big day allowed us to really craft the tone and flow of our reception. Up until the night before our event, Eric was receptive to our last minute changes, reassuring us of his flexibility and professionalism. We are so thankful that our venue, The Thursday Club, had a preexisting relationship with Eric, as we would have not had such a seamless time finding the perfect DJ! As an emcee, Eric was engaging, organized, and fun - everyone had such a great time! Eric's services truly contributed to making our evening one of the most special and best nights of our lives! We will definitely be referring Eric to friends and family for their DJ needs, and we look forward to working with him throughout our married life, together. He earns our highest recommendations!!! Also, make sure to check out his tiny house airbnb in San Diego! It's amazing. read more

I can't explain how fantastic Eric was to my wife and I on our big day. We got married in March and there was a lot of uncertainty in the world but Eric went above and beyond to help us have an amazing day. He's so attentive and knowledgeable and personable. He was a breeze to work with. On top of all that, he is insanely affordable and our day wouldn't have been as special as it was if it hadn't been for him. read more

Eric was our DJ July 2017. He was recommended to us from a DJ who was recommended from our coordinator. I felt that we got really lucky meeting Eric! We were in contact with a couple of DJs before but there was never much connection. When we met Eric, we knew he was to be our DJ! Eric was really prepared for our meeting and really impressed us with everything he has to offer. His website to fill out songs made the process so much simpler. We were a very picky couple with our songs. My husband had specific song choices and Eric really accommodated that allowing us to choose our songs on Spotify and sending him a playlist. He also did our slideshow setup for us! Day of wedding, everything went so smoothly. Eric really understands music and was able to play to the wedding. He faded music in perfectly for our ceremony, listened to all our requests for dinner and really got the floor moving for the dancing! I have never seen a wedding dance floor so crowded. I come from a social dance background so I am very familiar with what makes a great DJ. Eric really was able to read the floor and play songs to match his audience's needs. On top of that, he was a great MC. It felt like Eric was part of our family :). Thank you Eric for keeping our wedding on it's feet. You get a five out of five from us! read more
