DJ Holtie - Holtie Productions

DJ Holtie was everything we could have asked for and more. Not only was he easy to communicate with and very responsive, he went above and beyond to make a special request “mash up” I wanted for my first dance with my dad. Everyone was on the dance floor all night and raved about his music. Highly recommend!

DJ Holtie was INCREDIBLE, both on the wedding day and throughout the process. He responded to my emails / calls / texts quickly !! From the first discussions on, he listened to all our points to make sure he understood exactly what we wanted in terms of atmosphere and type of music, and he incorporated it perfectly on the day, so that barely anyone left the dance floor!! He remembered and included all our special request songs, and timed them to perfection (which both we and our guests loved). We cannot recommend him enough!!!! Everyone is still talking about how fun our wedding was.

DJ Holtie was the glue that held together so many moving theatrical and musical parts of our wedding. He did more than was expected in so many ways. His ability to read the room and gauge the vibe of the crowd was impeccable. He ensured to confirm many playlists and versions of songs to be exact. I cannot recommend him enough.

DJ Holtie was incredible! Was great with communication, especially calls leading up to the big day. Was super flexible with our day as we caught the remnants of Hurricane Ian for an outdoor wedding. Played awesome music keeping the dance floor active all night. Even the caterers, who were a pretty experienced crew, said he played the best setlist they have ever heard. Didn't play the gimicky music you hear at other weddings. Had a great experience with DJ Holtie. Would highly recommend.

Derek was simply fabulous! He provided services for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was so helpful in making sure we had the right music at the right times and provided lots of guidance and suggestions. For the reception, EVERYONE was dancing and LOVED the music. After our wedding, we have heard from so many of our guests how DJ Holtie was one of the best DJs they've seen at a wedding and how badly their feet hurt from dancing the night away. Everyone was up out of their seats for the majority of the night having an absolute blast. Derek was really able to capture and execute on the vibe we were hoping for at our wedding. Oh, he also has uplighting that was perfect for our tented wedding and was not too bulky or distracting. It really added the right touch. Highly recommend DJ Holtie!

Derek was UNBELIEVABLE and exceeded all of our expectations! All of our guests (and even the other vendors) said they had never seen a wedding dance floor so full for so long. Our wedding was perfect, and Derek was a huge part of that!

If you are looking for a wedding DJ in Massachusetts - look no further! I first encountered DJ Holtie as the Best Man in my cousin's wedding in the South Coast of Massachusetts a year ago. I was very impressed by how sharp his timeline was, and how loyal he was to the bride and groom's music requests. Performance aside, he was just a cool dude! We hired him to DJ our wedding a few weeks ago and we are still getting compliments about the music played and how it was the one of the biggest reasons for it being our guests' favorite wedding. My wife and I have worked in the wedding industry for 20+ combined, so we were just tired of the "same old wedding songs" every weekend. DJ Holtie blew us away with his playlist, timing, and ability to emcee. Thank you so much Derek for the soundtrack to our big day, you killed it!

DJ Holtie was great!

DJ Holtie was amazing for our outdoor wedding ceremony and indoor reception. He made sure everything was exactly how we expected it to be. Also, the photo booth was so much fun!!!! Highly recommended and will definitely be hiring him again for future events! Thanks again guys!!

Derek was incredible! He was exactly what we were hoping for - he was so nice and easy to work with, he played fantastic music, and he was laid back. He also did a great job choosing the playlist based on just a few artists and songs we liked and didn’t like. Everyone loved the music. Finally, I chose a very long first dance song and he edited down to the perfect length seamlessly - you couldn’t tell it had been shortened at all. We cannot recommend working with him enough!!

We had our wedding at the Lighthouse Inn on Cape Cod and hired DJ Holtie for our event. He was an absolute pleasure to work with leading up to the event and he had the dance floor packed all night long!!! Prior to the event he asked us for some playlists and styles of music we would like to hear. We had a meeting a month out to go over this and finalize the remaining details. We requested a tropical house style of music for the cocktail hour and all of the songs were spot on! The music for the rest of the night was truly amazing. You can definitely tell DJ Holtie is a professional by the way he accepted song requests and was able to transition to them flawlessly into his set. We both could not have been happier with the music all night and we highly recommend DJ Holtie for your event!

I'd recommend Derek without hesitation to anyone planning a wedding - would give him 7 stars if I could. Derek is a great DJ. He took our recommendations but added his own flavor. Throughout the day, he read the crowd really well, mirrored the energy, and ultimately crescendoed the event into the perfect end-of-night dance party. Beyond that, Derek showed all the professionalism of someone who has done this before. He coordinated perfectly with our planners and was very detail oriented. We had a bunch of hard-to-pronounce names in our wedding party, and he phonetically wrote all of them out to get them all perfectly right. He rolled with lots of changes (e.g., a groomsmen who decided not to give a speech and 4 other friends jumping in in his place). None of the chaos of the day-of wedding threw him even for a second. All of this was after two complete reschedules in light of COVID. We felt like Derek was with us through all of this, and when the big day came, our high expectations were exceeded. If you've read this far, contact DJ Holtie now (before he books up!) - he's the guy you want setting the soundtrack for your wedding!

THE EASY CHOICE! Derek knows what he is doing. The whole night, the dance floor was full and every song flowed together perfectly. He took our music list and catered it to everyone, young and old too. His equipment produced high quality sound, his photobooth created incredible photos and the lights that he bring create the perfect lighted atmosphere for a wedding. Derek really made my wedding perfect for my wife and I. I would highly recommend Derek.

DJ Holtie completely nailed it for our wedding. We requested that he play "through the decades" to keep all ages entertained. He came up with a perfect balance of faster and slower music that kept the party dancing throughout the night. I highly recommend him for any occasion.

Derek was such a blast to work with. He was incredibly flexible with our changing timeline, went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly and got a multi-generational crowd out having a great time on the dance floor for hours. His process prior to the wedding was very organized and helped us get our thoughts together for what songs we wanted and when, including any special requests. He spent over an hour talking us through what to expect before to the wedding day and was always available for questions. We also selected the uplights and photo booth as and add on. The pictures from the photo booth were very high quality and the props were perfect. Derek even offered to provide a generator if needed to meet electrical requirements. I would absolutely recommend Derek to everyone getting married and looking for the best team of vendors. He was a true professional and helped to make our day so memorable.

DJ Holtie gave us an absolutely epic after party for our wedding. We gave him a rough idea of music choices and he absolutely slayed. People are still talking about how much fun it was. 10/10 recommend!!

Derek was just sensational. Right from the get go, he was professional, easy to chat with and helpful. He helped us tremendously with our timeline and he listened intently to what we were looking. He took our vision and executed it all perfectly! He even adjusted his schedule to accommodate us with super short notice. He was simply amazing to work with. We would recommend Derek time and time again!

DJ Holtie was nothing short of INCREDIBLE, if you haven’t hired him already you better now before he is taken! DJ Holtie made our wedding the wedding of our dreams and everyone from our wedding has raved about him. He kept the party going, he listened to what songs I asked him to play and played them at the perfect time to get people on the dance floor. He also was very responsive through the whole planning process. I had a backyard wedding and the police were called because of noise and he was very respectful to them but still didn’t let it ruin the party for us! He was nothing short of amazing. Please if you hire him, invite me to the wedding too!!!

Derek was amazing! My wedding was on Martha's Vineyard so I was nervous about timing and set up but I didn't have to think of it once! Derek was professional, on time, and had such a great mix of music for all generations, even with the traveling hurdle. Everything turned out perfect and he didn't miss a beat with any of the reception events that were happening. I had so many of the guests come up to me after the wedding and tell me how great he was. Highly recommend!

DJ Holtie was great! We had a very tough crowd of guests at our wedding, a lot of nervous guests clinging to their tables, and there was a huge generational gap with a lot of guests averaging 55 years old in age and the other section of guests in their 30s. BUT he somehow managed to keep the party and dance floor going, perfecting a mix of songs that would draw all age groups out throughout the night. Derek also was great in directing the events of the night and helping everything to run on schedule. His assistant at the photo booth was great and it was such a fun add on that our guests enjoyed. Book DJ Holtie now!

Derek (DJ Holtie) was great! Not only was everything perfectly timed throughout the ceremony and formalities, but he kept the party going all night... EVERYONE was on the dance floor! He also went above and beyond, helping us with sound, mics, and audio recordings, etc. - we are so grateful. Highly recommend! Thank you, Derek!

Derek was very professional and kept the party going strong all night! He was awesome and I would recommend him for any wedding! Thanks again!

Derek is a hot ticket! He is very professional and keeps the crowd moving on the dance floor! The bridal parties are always so anxious before introductions and he spoke to each and everyone getting the organized for the big moment. Being the day of coordinator, Soirées by Sonya, you always want to make sure the DJ isn't too loud or not keeping the dance floor full all night. NO WORRIES WITH DJ HOLTIE! Perfect level and full floor!

DJ Holtie was absolutely amazing!!!! He is so easy to work with and communicate with!!! Just got married on Saturday and everything was perfect!!!! He is able to read the crowd and keeps everyone on the dance floor! Highly recommend!!!!!

Derek was wonderful to work with! He is very talented and sure can read a crowd! He nailed all of my requests and the evening was spot on! My dance floor was packed and everyone had a great time! I highly recommend utilizing his photo booth and uplighting too! It made my reception that much better. If you're looking for a great DJ that is personable, organized, professional and gets the crowd excited I'd recommend Derek 100%!

DJ Holtie is by far the best DJ out there!! Derek DJed our wedding, our guests raved about how amazing he was at reading the crowd and playing music that appealed to everyone. Derek is amazing at what he does. He made our wedding day so special and amazing. Thank you Derek!!! -Lara and Josh

Derek was AMAZING - the dance floor was a blast and people couldn't stop raving about how much fun the night was :) He was the perfect entertainment for our wedding on Nantucket at the Westmoor Club.

Derek DJ’d our wedding last month and it was such a blast!!!! Leading up he was always communicating and extremely professional. He was the perfect balance for our wedding as he kept the party moving all night. I was so thankful for his expertise with all the equipment that we were able to use for the ceremony and the reception!!! Thanks again, Derek!!!!

DJ holtie was amazing! Everyone that was a guest says they have never dance so much at a wedding ever! He was so fun & accommodated each song we asked for & then some he made each introduction; bouquet toss & garter toss a blast! The photobooth we added through him was a huge hit & everyone enjoyed!

Absolutely amazing. He did an incredible job at my wedding. Went above and beyond tailoring to myself or my husbands needs. What an outstanding job

DJ Holtie was amazing! Literally no one was sitting down at my reception! He kept the dance floor moving all night. He was very easy to work with and extremely professional. You’d be smart to hire him for your next big event!

DJ holtie was the DJ for our reception in June. He was so easy to work with and very professional. I had a lot of nontraditional requests and he made sure to follow every one of them! He kept the party going and the photo booth was awesome! He made us a personal monogram for the dance floor that added such a personal touch. I loved looking through all the pictures that were in my email the next day! You will regret choosing him!

DJ Holtie was recommended to us by a friend who had him DJ a few corporate events. DJ Holtie did not disappoint and lived up to every expectation we were given. He was very easy to communicate with, always available if we needed to chat or had questions, and even mixed a custom song for my dad and I to dance to for our first dance. We were a little unsure of how the exact flow should go for the reception but DJ Holtie walked us through everything and gave recommendations based on what he had seen in the past and our night was flawless. We could not have asked for an easier vendor to deal with and our guests would not get off the dance floor!

DJ Holtie is great! He took note of everything we wanted (even the last minute changes I sent him) and was wonderful the day of! Our guests loved the photo booth he provided!

Derek was great! He kept our guests dancing the whole night long. Even the guests that don’t generally dance were out on the dance floor. He worked flawlessly with the wedding coordinator and kept us on track for time frame. He was nice and pleasant to work with. He’s very experienced in the business and knows what he’s doing. He kept a nice flow of music going from one song to the next. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as fun if we didn’t hire Derek.

Derek was great! He was easy to work with during the planning stages and super personable. All of our requests and suggestions were fulfilled day of and Derek successfully kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Thanks DJ Holtie!

Derek was amazing! He was super professional and we completely trusted him to create the perfect playlist for us. In our prep phone call, he was really organized and did a great job asking us a ton of questions and making sure he knew us and what we wanted out of our big day. On the day of, he was incredibly flexible and knew exactly what to play to get everyone on the dance floor, and knew what calls to make to ensure everyone had a blast. The uplighting we added/he brought added an amazing touch to the dance floor and we were so happy we decided to add it. Derek was great to work with and we got compliments from all our guests on how great the music was. Would recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust to pick the perfect music for a couple and for an epic dance party!

DJ Holtie was amazing! He did my ceremony and reception. Everything was flawless and perfect. The music was completely on cue. He was even able to get everyone up on the dance floor which is not an easy task with my family. He DJ’d my brother’s wedding about 9 years ago and was the first DJ I thought of and I am so glad I did! Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Highly recommend!!!

My husband and I debated a lot between three and four stars here because three feels a bit low, but at the same time two big things went wrong. First, DJ Holtie paused before playing our music after breaking the glass at the end of our ceremony. Luckily, our Rabbi said "cue music" after a second or two of silence and people laughed, but that wasn't the best. The other, bigger issue is that he swapped the music we provided for the father/daughter and mother/son dances. My husband had triple confirmed the songs with him. The worst part there is that my dad doesn't dance (didn't even dance at his own wedding) and I knew I was only going to have him up there for a couple of seconds. Some of those seconds were to the wrong song. Plus, my husband's song was supposed to be a surprise for his mom. DJ Holtie didn't realize the mistake right away and my husband rushed up and told him to turn the song off and switch it. One other small thing is that several of our "must play" songs were played while one or both of us were out of the reception hall to change or go to the bathroom. I don't know if this is something most DJs look for, but it does seem like a reasonable thing at a smaller wedding. Or, I wish he had confirmed with us whether we cared about being in the room for the "must play" songs. The tricky thing is that people were raving about our music, but a lot of it was selected by my husband and me ahead of time. We spent several hours picking songs and at least 80% of the songs played came from our list. We loved that, because we know us and our friends/family best, but it also made the parts that didn't go well feel even worse. DJ Holtie did a good job filling in gaps between songs we selected, but I feel like we did a lot of the work choosing songs and then the few times we really needed him to come through he didn't. I had selected a different DJ originally who was less expensive. When I told DJ Holtie this, he said that he would bring his price down some and that he was absolutely the better choice and that he had all rave reviews. We went with him because I figured it would all but eliminate chances of things going wrong. I very much appreciate him bringing down his price, but I still paid him more than I would have paid the other DJ, and I think he was off his game for our wedding.

DJ Holtie was amazing and we would highly recommend him to others! He was extremely well-organized and professional, quickly eliminating any stress on our end. He was able to setup multiple sound systems so that it was a very quick and seamless transition from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour and then to the reception. His music selection was amazing and the dance floor was crowded for hours! Thank you DJ Holtie for making our wedding truly perfect!

DJ Holtie was great! We gave him a smallish list of songs we liked and wanted, and he filled in the blanks, he played exactly the kind of music we were looking for and the dancefloor was full from the moment he kicked off the music, couldn't ask for better!

Was absolute fantastic. Super professional and handled the ceremony and reception perfectly. His mix of music was spot on. Mixed it up got everyone out on the dance floor. I would 100% recommend DJ Holtie.

As soon as I got engaged I knew who to call for my wedding DJ. I met DJ Holite at a friends wedding and when it came time for mine I made sure to book him right away. Working with him was great, he certainly knows the business and can be trusted to make the experience fun and worry free. As far as the actual service he was polite, professional, funny, and again worry free. His MC skills are 100% on point. Everyone had a blast and he's good at reading the crowd. My only regret is my venue wouldn't let us stay an extra hour.. Thanks again Derek! -Joe

DJ Holtie was great! Not only was he the DJ for our wedding but he did the uplighting and photo booth as well. He played a great variety of music and knew when to change it up. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last, the entire wedding did not atop dancing all night. If there was ever a time a guest was not dancing it was because they were having a blast in the photo booth, which had great props and customizable photo strips. The uplighting was perfect as well! Derek had it match our wedding colors which made the venue that much more perfect. We had some last minute changes to our entrances and he accommodated everything without any issues. We were very happy with DJ Holtie and will use him again in the future!

DJ Holtie is a pleasure to work with. On our day Derek was phenomenal from cocktail hour, processional to last dance, which happened many times because we didn't want the party to stop. We received many compliments on how great he did and some of our guests asked for his contact info for their upcoming events.

Derek literally brought the fun and the party. He was so on top of ensuring all of the power (it was an old estate) didn't knock the music out and he did everything he could to ensure the day ran smoothly. He was super personable, kind and helpful the entire day and the moment he turned on the music, no one stopped dancing. Also -- he really knows his audience!! We're a crowd of 80s & 90s kids so Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys and the like were obviously necessary. He killed the game and he brought down the house, in the most awesome way!

Can’t say enough great things about Derek! From the start he was very responsive and helped us plan out the music for our wedding, to the T. We had a couple of unique, special requests and Derek was able to pull them off flawlessly. He helped us throw the most epic dance party, exactly how we envisioned it and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic, professional wedding DJ!

Derek shipped out of Boston and all the way down to DC for a family wedding, and had the whole family on the dance floor all night. Up lighting looked great, and everyone has a blast! Everyone spent their night on the dance floor and left with a smile. I highly recommend Derek for any wedding anywhere!

DJ Holtie was on point our entire wedding. He kept the party going from the moment the reception started until the second it was over. His photo booth is a must have, it was a huge hit. He helped the maid of honor in an amazing maid of honor rap. We highly recommend DJ Goldie productions.

DJ Holtie was awesome! He was able to cater the whole vibe to fit our unique personalities and preferences. Careful thought was put into mixing our first dance mashup song and he made sure to get the pronunciation of our wedding party and parents' names right. Such a pro! He is good at going with the flow and knows how to get people on the dance floor. No one wanted to leave at the end!

Our wedding was a Halloween themed wedding with a pretty abstract selection of songs. We chose to hire DJ Holtie. He did an excellent job compiling the tracks we needed and playing tunes that suited the mood of the room. His mixing and timing was smooth and well placed, the music was played at a perfect volume to fill the room, yet not overbearing. From attending previous events, I knew that on our special day, DJ Holtie was the disk jockey I wanted to do my wedding.

Derek did an amazing job from start to finish with our wedding. It was a dream come true. He kept us on track with time and kept everything moving along and the day ran smoothly. He knew exactly when to pump up the music and when to slow it down with a great variety of music. Thank you Derek for helping us create our dream wedding!

Dj holtie is absolutely incredible. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception everything was perfect! Kept the party going and people on the dance floor all night! The wife and I couldn't have asked for more! 100% recommend dj holtie for any and all types of parties or celebrations.

My Husband and I booked Derek for our Wedding in September and he did not disappoint. We were very picky with what we wanted played and gave him a list of songs that must be played between dinner and dancing. He nailed all of our song requests along with what was left up to him. In addition, I had last minute changes day of for introduction songs and he replied within minutes that it was no problem. I have no complaints on DJ Holtie and I know my guests did not either. You will be in great hands with Derek!!!!!! I strongly recommend!!! Thanks again Derek!

DJ Holtie made our wedding the ultimate party! Our guests said it was the funnest wedding they have ever been too and we have Derek to thank for that! He was on point the entire night from the beginning of the ceremony to end of the reception. I was very particular about the songs I wanted played throughout the wedding and he made sure he played them all. We met a few weeks prior to the wedding, he was very professional, enthusiastic and easy to work with. I had a special request for our wedding song to be remixed, he custom made the song for us and it was perfect! I can't thank DJ Holtie enough for making our wedding unforgettable!!!

Derek was the absolute BEST!! My guests were dancing all night! All this week I have received compliments on how great Derek was and how they want his info for the future. He's very easy to work with and I could not recommend him enough.

We absolutely loved Derek, he kept everyone dancing all night at our wedding! Even with last minute requests Holtie was great with accommodating us and we would definitely work with him again. The guests LOVED the photo booth :)

Incredible. After our wedding we got countless texts from everyone saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to because of Holtie. He reads the crowd perfectly; everyone from the 8 year old to my 58 year old dad was on the dance floor all night long. His mixes are on point! It's just enough so that you can sing and dance to your favorites, but the way he makes every song flow into each other was amazing. Hands down, you need him for your wedding/event.

5 stars is an understatement! DJ Holtie was amazing. The reception from start to finish was flawless. He knew exactly when to pick up, and exactly when to keep it light. We told him right before it started all the information for speeches and traditions and he executed them without a blink perfectly. Dance floor was bumping! His photo booth was so awesome. I was getting great comments from everyone on how much fun they had with the photo booth and I even received a digital copy of every single photo on the booth taken that night. DJ Holtie even came through last minute for us when the venue told us they didn't have a PA or microphone for the top of the wedding ceremony. Holtie had it covered when he wasn't even supposed to be there for that! Seriously, thanks DJ Holtie. Hire this guy!!

Derek is an amazing DJ! He is professional, knowledgeable and really knows how to read the crowd and choose songs that keep everyone on the dance floor. The photo booth was a huge hit too, our guests loved it! He even traveled to Maine for our wedding, and was so great to work with throughout the entire planning process. I strongly recommend him as your DJ. Thank you so much Derek!

Derek is a fantastic DJ! He is very knowledgeable, professional and extremely attentive to detail. We received so many compliments about him from our wedding guests! The photo booth was a great hit too! Thank you so much!

I was so impressed by Derek's DJ skills at our wedding. The dance floor was full ALL NIGHT. The mixes he puts together are great. He knows how to read a crowd and chooses songs that keep everyone partying all night. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding to go through song choices and other details and I was very impressed by how much thought he puts into his work. This is what you'd need from your wedding DJ! Thank you Derek!

Derek was exceptionally professional, and was willing to follow our wishes to the letter when we had a specific request, and also offer excellent suggestions when we weren't sure what we wanted. He traveled to Maine (Bar Harbor) for our wedding and on the way had car trouble, but thankfully as a true professional he was well prepared and level headed. Within 30 minutes he had arranged for alternate transportation, still got to the venue early enough to be fully setup, and never conveyed an ounce of stress or frustration (important when it's such a stressful day already!). We had some musical requests which he was happy to honor (even some unusual songs), and his song selection for all of the other songs was great. His background as a skilled club DJ was apparent, but he was never over the top. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a professional, easy to work with and flexible DJ. Thanks Derek!
