I moved to NYC from Atlantic City in 1994. Since stepping off the bus, I've been knee-deep in nightlife fun and music. I've programmed, promoted, produced and played some of the biggest parties this city has ever known, including my now-legendary, 19-years-and-running old-school dance party, the Freedom Party® NYC. Weddings are some of my favorite gigs. I get to participate in the biggest celebration of love, and be instrumental in creating everlasting memories with beautiful families. ("Family" is everything, really--I'm a husband/father of three.) Playing your wedding is truly an honor.

For context, we were celebrating our anniversary with the biggest priority being wanting a party of nonstop dancing so our DJ expectations were quite high. After finding Herbert online, reading all the positive reviews, and doing due diligence of the ongoing sets he plays in NYC and Philly we felt fairly confident he would deliver… and deliver he did! We strategically gave him a few songs we wanted to hear (as an ode to our wedding day, which he followed up on in specific detail to make sure he got just right), but mostly sent him ideas of the genres we were looking for and were depending on him to execute based on the crowd vibe. Results speak for themselves. Multiple guests commented on how great he was and that he was the best part of the day, the service crew I caught on multiple occasions dancing during their duties (and mentioned they’ve never seen a party like that thrown at their venue), and I missed the food service because I was too caught up in the dancing! Simply put, if you want a seasoned DJ with a repertoire of multiple genres over multiple decades who can read the room and set the tone all while not having to expend any precious mental capacity toward the details of the music Herbert is your guy. End the search here and worry about the hundred other details of your event because he’ll have the music covered.

Herbert was amazing. After attending 10 weddings in the year leading up to our own we feel well equipped to name him the best DJ of any wedding we went to. We love to dance and he took that seriously, working in songs that we love but taking the vibe in his hands and keeping the energy high. The moms loved him, the friends loved him - by the end of the night the party was chanting “HERBERT, HERBERT!” Cannot recommend highly enough. Trust him to get the vibe right and you’ll be dancing all night!

DJ Herbert Holler was the absolute best DJ for our wedding in March 2023. He was able to seamlessly blend multiple genres, cultures, and styles to keep everyone happy and dancing the entire reception. He was professional, collaborative, amenable, responded quickly to any and all messages, and most of all, he had the party GOING OFF the whole night!
Some of the messages we’ve received from our guests:
- “I’ve never danced that much at a wedding”
- “This is the best DJ I’ve ever heard”
- “His transitions are so smooth that you don’t even know that a song is fading in or out until you’re already dancing to the next one”
- “This DJ is the GOAT”
We cannot recommend DJ Herbert Holler enough for any and all weddings!

If there’s one thing you should take away from this review, it is this - You should DEFINITELY hire Herbert Holler to DJ your wedding!
From the very first phone call, it was obvious that he is someone who loves his job. He has an extensive knowledge and love of music means no matter what you want the soundtrack of your wedding or event to be, he’s got you and your guests of ALL ages covered.
He was communicative, easy to work with, clearly invested in making sure we had a great time at our wedding, and that everything ran as smoothly as possible.
In fact, at one point, he noticed from behind the booth that we were one man short for lifting someone up in the chair during our extensive Hora. So what did he do? He put his headphones down, ran onto the dance floor, and kept the party going!
As a musician and music lover myself, it was hard to trust someone else with the evening’s setlist, but we are so glad we did. He was super keyed into the dance floor, and read the crowd like an expert, always knowing exactly what song to serve up.
We danced our asses off and could not have had a better evening. We even rented one of his lighting packages, which he set up to perfection.
Herbert, thank you for helping us with our live performances, and for giving us such an incredibly memorable night!!

It’s been three weeks since our wedding, and our guests keep telling us they had a blast on the dance floor. I found that there were so many beautiful parts to my wedding. But when all is said and done, knowing the dance floor was packed the entire night reigns as the most fulfilling part of the night. Herbert kept the energy high … and then higher … and it only kept escalating. He’s talented, and he cared about us and our guests. You can trust that he will be there for you and for your people to have the time of your life.

As a bride you are always worried your reception won't be fun. Not a chance with Herbert Holler as your DJ!!! He knew just what to play at every moment.

I am so happy he had our date open because this man delivered!!! Professional, so much fun to work with, and his experience shows!! Guests were raving for weeks about how much fun plus classy our wedding was. THANK YOUUUU!!!

Herbert Holler was great in every way — a total pro who has excellent taste in music but is also responsive to the crowd. We had multiple generations at our event — kids, adults, grandparents — and he got *everyone* dancing just through the music alone (ie he didn’t even have to resort to a ton of emceeing, but I know he’d be great at that too). He was also so pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!

Everything about your wedding was unforgettable, Harley. The location (Handsome Hollow!), ...
the ceremony (whoa...that view), the cocktail hour (the food!), the party in the barn, and the fact that I was completely WRONG about people being able to dance 3 hours and 15 minutes straight!* (And shirtless. LOL.) Thank you! Holler anytime!
*For anyone reading this, I politely suggested that Harley not expect her guests to dance from 7:45pm - 11pm, and instead adjust the itinerary and sprinkle other moments in between, but we kept it as is. And lo and behold, from 7:45pm - 11pm, the dance floor was full. And I ate my hat.

From the ceremony til the last song, DJ Herbert kept the night flowing and lively. Our eclectic group of guests were all out on the dance floor at some point because he read the room so well and incorporated something for everyone. He was incredibly easy to work with and we weren't stressed about the music at all, which was such a relief! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome DJ for their wedding!

I've known DJ Herbert for over two decades, as a co-worker, a friend, a writer, and a DJ—and in 20 years he's always shown the same consistency and professionalism, grace, good humor throughout. We hired him to be our wedding DJ because we were confident he would know how to balance the night's logistics, interfacing with venue and vendors, special requests from a range of guests and all ages, and bring high energy revelry to create an inclusive and celebratory evening. He spoke with us at length weeks before the event to learn more about our tastes and preferences, and was particularly interested in what we *didn't* want to hear. On the night of the event, our guests danced for nearly four hours straight thanks to DJ Herbert attentiveness to the crowd's vibe. We highly recommend Herbert for events that call for a dance party vibe that is scalable and cost-efficient. He's worth it, and you will be very happy with the result!
response 09/03/2022
Damn. Has it been that long? (Lol.) YOUR WIFE'S PLAYLIST DID THE WORK. (I just...You know...

We had plenty of great vendors for our wedding but my wife and I agreed HH was our favorite. Incredibly flexible and easy to work with--you can tell he can put together a great reception with as much or as little guidance as you want to give him. He did for us.
Great ability to read the room and keep people moving. Also just "gets it" in terms of how to support the big day for the bride and groom and keep 'em stress free and feeling celebrated.
On top of that, just a funny, nice guy. Transparent throughout. Fun to talk music with on the planning calls. Really deep, eclectic knowledge of everything. You won't stump him, and he likely knows just when to play whatever song you throw at him.
Lot of comments from our guests saying how much he killed it.
Can't go wrong with HH.

Herbert is a class-act and was key in setting the right tone for our wedding reception. We did not have dancing at our reception and needed a careful EmCee to guide the evening along. He wove together all of our song choices into a lovely mix and kept the event moving. It could not have been a more perfect evening.
Herbert was also eager to zoom with us to plan and calm any concerns we had. I would recommend Herbert 100% for any event. Hope we get to work together on something down the road.

DJ HERBERT HOLLER IS THE BEST!
Working with Herbert was an absolute dream. We booked him for our wedding after having a phone chat - when we heard he's been DJing dance parties in NYC for the past 20 years, we knew we were in good hands. After our phone chat, we sent him a Spotify playlist to give him an idea of our tastes and that was it. We trusted him completely and it paid off.
During the wedding, he nailed our sound cues and then went right into cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. The music was always perfect for the mood - and when it was time for dancing, the dance floor was PACKED all night. He was amazing at reading the crowd's energy and keeping it going all night - and was happy to take requests from our guests.
Herbert also came to the venue with his own sound gear and an audio technician, so everything sounded wonderful. We had no sound issues during our ceremony, and the rest of the night the music was loud but you didn't have to scream to be heard.
Overall, he was an incredibly chill and lovely person to work with, and we absolutely would love to work with him again soon!

No...YOU'RE THE BEST! Lol. Seriously, though, your wedding made me feel good about my work...

Herbert Holler really nailed it. We told him songs that were important to us, songs that we'd like to hear, and some songs we really didn't want to hear. He did an incredible job at keeping the party alive while mixing in the songs we wanted to hear. As an MC, he also kept the wedding moving. He was incredibly professional and we could not have asked for more. He's a proper DJ! Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!

Thanks very much, Chris. I really loved the mix of hip-hop, EDM and rock at your wedding. ...

Herbert Holler is the DJ you want for your wedding. Herbert was wonderful to work with, he's extremely professional and most importantly is going to make sure every single person has a good time at your party. Putting on a wedding during COVID (or any time) can certainly be stressful but Herbert is one of vendors you can count on to make sure everything goes smoothly. He also has a wonderful knowledge of music and entertainment and puts all of that on display to make sure guests are engaged and having the most fun possible. When both millennials and boomers are on the dance floor together having a good time, you know the DJ has done a great job.

He was the highlight of our wedding. We have an eclectic group that can be shy and he made sure everybody was dancing and everyone just loved him. He really cared about making us happy and that we loved our wedding. I think he was the star of our wedding!!!! People still talk about that night and say the DJ was EPIC! He is so nice and genuinely cared for us. We already want him for our daughter's Bat Mitvzah. Thanks so much for everything!!!!

The only detail about my wedding reception that I actually had an opinion on was the music. I’ve been to so many affairs that've had amazing food or held at some ridiculous venue and had the makings for a truly memorable occasion, but the DJ was just lame and couldn’t read a crowd or made poor song selections; which ultimately has your guests like “that is a real snoozer”.
If you hire Herbert Holler to take care of your music entertainment, everyone will leave saying “that was the greatest time ever”. You could even serve a deli tray and it wouldn’t matter because there would only be time to dance.

Herbert was an AMAZING DJ. So many of our guests commented on what a great job he did and we couldn't agree more. We're so lucky we found him. The music choices were spot on and his timing throughout the night was perfect. Behind the scenes and during the event Herbert was nothing but kind and professional. He knows what he's doing. It was really a pleasure working with him!

It's been a week since our wedding and I am still reliving how awesome it all turned out. The music was on point from the minute he started playing during the cocktail hour. The vibe he created allowed the spirit of the night to flourish and most importantly for people to get on the dance floor. People are still reaching out to me to ask who our DJ was and how they can hire him. What Herbert does is beyond throwing on the most popular song and hoping people dance. He feels out the crowd and makes folks groove. I can't thank him enough for such a spectacular night.

There's a reason he has nothing but 5 star reviews. If you don't believe me, go to a Freedom Party and you'll see for yourself.
He was the DJ for both our wedding ceremony and reception, killed it with both. Full dance floor from the first song to the last. Everybody dancing. We gave him a little direction on the music we like, but for the most part we just let him do his thing. If you're looking for a DJ that you can trust 100% to keep the party going all night, you gotta go with Herbert Holler.
response 09/29/2021
Thanks, Charles. You take care of Carmelle, now. (OR WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!!! Hahhaha. ...
Kidding. You're a great guy, and it's not only evident through how cool you've been during the planning process, but also through the people surrounding you. Your friends and family have so much love to give and such amazing energy. A DJ is only as good as the people on his/her dance floor--y'all were amazing! Truly a blessing to have been a part of it all.) PEACE AND LOVE!!!

Wow- What a fantastic DJ. I was looking for a non conventional DJ that didn't do the traditional wedding DJ schtick. I needed a professional music maker who knew how to read a crowd and get this party going. Herbert Holler is it. And what a pleasant working experience. From the moment of our first consult he was a calm and flexible partner. He listened to what we wanted and then went off and created the party of a lifetime. EVERYONE at the party loved the music, from 16 years old to 60. It was a finely crafted seamless music experience. Simply put- You need to hire this guy!

Wow is all I can say. If you want a smart and sophisticated event where ALL of the guests find themselves motivated to get up and dance or just groove and have a ball Herbert Holler is your man. From the first consultation to the live event everything was handled with the best of care and the highest standards. Oh, and did i mention that EVERYONE at the party cam up to me and said, where did you find this DJ? And that was from the 16 year olds and the 74 year olds. And the reason is Herbert Holler's depth of understanding about music, rhythm and the psychology
of party. You have to hire this guy!

DJ Herbert Holler -- To say he was wonderful is an understatement. A rare find is a DJ who is both receptive (and patient) to many wish lists of song requests - spanning 4 cultural backgrounds - while finding a way to seamlessly mix these in throughout the night so the dance floor was always full. Beyond the exceptional music, Herbert was incredibly responsive and helped us logistically map out the evening. He asked a lot of questions in advance and was available to answer anything we needed (…and I sent a lot of emails...). We had compliments all night about the music. Could not recommend more highly!
response 09/08/2021

It was a real treat, being a part of the Armenian festivities--there's such incredible beauty in those traditional dances, in getting closer to other cultures through music. And then hitting them with 90s KTU dance classics? Amazing. THANK YOU!

Herbert came recommended through a friend of a friend. His process in selecting music was efficient, relaxed, open-minded, and we never felt lost. He took song suggestions and helped us pinpoint which genres would work best based on our tastes. During the wedding itself, Herbert and his AV guy were independent and required no supervision. He adapted well to last minute changes.

As music lovers, we spent hours painstakingly researching DJs at different price points and setting up calls with multiple DJs to feel out the best match for us. What qualities should we look for? How much should we spend? How do we make a decision? In short, we are so happy our search led us to Herbert Holler. We had high expectations, from his reputation, and he still exceeded them! You should hire DJ Herbert Holler for his focus on quality, professionalism, positive vibes, and client-first mentality. He was an invaluable addition to our wedding “A-Team” and we’ll take this review to explain why Herbert Holler is a top-shelf choice to enhance your wedding day!
First, we wanted to plan our wedding on relatively short notice, and it was important to feel that our DJ would make the process easy and fun. Herbert is both super professional and also enjoyable to work with. The process wasn’t transactional, but rather, it felt like a collaboration. Your wedding planning process is stressful enough- you should have fun with this. Herbert communicates well. He really takes the time to understand your vision, your tastes, and your family and guests - and will make sure he pronounces every name correctly. He’ll give you honest feedback during the planning on how each choice could impact the vibe. Whether you are a music nerd (like us) or you’re someone who could care less - Herbert will tailor the music experience to you and your wedding, and he will make sure your ceremony and reception go off without a hitch or an awkward glance.
Second, we wanted a DJ who would focus on the music without stealing the show. Any time he interacted with our guests, he brought his personality and humor without showboating or stealing the show. We really enjoyed his presence and his good vibes. ‘Nuff said!
Third - musically, Herbert is at the top of his game. He loves his craft, and it shows! He does a great job reading the room’s energy to make the best music choices to enhance the moment. He knows when to turn up and when to chill out, without any cheesy showboating. We happened to give Herbert a ton of music feedback for our Jewish x Haitian wedding, and he absolutely nailed it. We went on a musical journey from the Horah to hip hop to reggae to Haitian zouk to wedding classics to karaoke. Name your style, and he’ll do his research and deliver. The best outcome is when people gravitate to the dance floor without thinking “Huh? That was a weird transition.” On the contrary, Herbert’s set was smooth, flowed organically, and his transitions between songs were technically on point 100% of the time.
In conclusion, please put your wedding in Herbert’s capable hands! He really took the time to understand what we were going for, and he exceeded our expectations 1000%. Our guests (who are biased) loved what DJ Herbert Holler brought to our wedding day. On a side note, we did our research and other competing DJs even recommended him too :) … thank you DJ Herbert Holler for an unforgettable experience!

Herbert was known to us because of his history at LPR in NYC. I knew he’d come out and bring a great party. So, we hired him to make our wedding the best ever.
Then COVID hit and we had to scale down everything. We brought down the guest list and what we saw our wedding to be. However, we couldn’t have been more wrong. Herbert still brought a great party and he brought it all together for an unforgettable party.
Herbert was great to work with along the way as well. Herbert was willing to go above and beyond to help make the ceremony and reception happen. He’s reliable, dependable, and flexible. He was willing to play whichever songs we wanted and he has an ear for context. The whole night was a constant build and afterwards guests were commenting on how great the music was for the reception.
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for the night.

One goal for our wedding reception was an awesome dance party. We were familiar with DJ Herbert Holler from a few events and knew we could trust him with our big day, so as soon as we got engaged we reached out. Thank goodness he was available as he created the dance party we dreamed of. Guests young and old were commenting and complimenting the music and he kept it going all night! He was super easy to work with, responsive and helped us with our schedule, song list and emceed. He is phenomenal at reading the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor.Unlike big entertainment companies, it was also really nice to work directly with Herbert throughout. We can't recommend him enough!
