An Unforgettable Wedding DJ
We recently hired Derreck with Royal Elegance Entertainment for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier. From start to finish, Derreck was a consummat...
e professional, attentive to our preferences and providing valuable suggestions. They created an enchanting ambiance with their impeccable sound system, lighting, and effects.
The music selection was flawless, blending various genres and pleasing guests of all ages. Derrick's ability to read the crowd and keep the wedding quests entertained was remarkable. They also served as an excellent emcee, effortlessly guiding the evening's events.
We must commend Derreck for their professionalism, enthusiasm, and infectious energy. They went above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable. If you want a wedding DJ who will exceed your expectations, we wholeheartedly recommend Royal Elegance Entertainment. Thank you for making our day magical!
Derrick was so amazing as the DJ at our wedding in September 2023. He is so kind and charismatic. He was great as an MC and DJ, and got people pumped up!
We were bummed that the 3...
60 photo booth didn’t work out, but Derrick offered to do an audio guest book in its place. Working with him and his team was so easy and they did a fantastic job at our wedding!
Thank you so much for DJing our wedding, Derrek! He was absolutely amazing!! He was so kind and very accommodating of our budget. He was also very responsive and kept us on track a...
s we approached our wedding date! I knew Derrek was a very experienced DJ, so we didn’t make too many requests before hand, but he made sure that all of our special moments had songs that we would want. We let him do his craft, and he was absolutely wonderful throughout the night, while still taking requests from all of our guests! He made our reception a party, and we had the most amazing time! Thank you for making the entertainment completely stress free for us, DJ Royal!!! We love you!!!
The only draw back was an add on service that DJ Royal contracts out through another vender. We paid for a print out photobooth and it ended up only being digital. Not ideal but our guests still really enjoyed the photobooth.
Best value for your buck. Was extremely flexible, punctual, and responsive with us. Kept the energy high all night even though we didnt have many guests at the wedding. Was very pr...
ofessional and was able to work around all of our changes.

ted prior to our wedding while also reading the room on the day of. The dance floor was never empty and all of our friends and family had a blast! Oh and Derrek handled ALL of our audio even for the ceremony. All of which was completely seamless. Royal Elegance exceeded our expectations and I would HIGHLY recommend!! Thank you, Derrek!
Derrek, the DJ for Royal Elegance Entertainment, provided one of the best DJ services I've ever had in my life, especially & most importantly, for my wedding! He made my wedding ex...
tra magical! His set up is beautiful and makes his services even better! He is very responsive and easy to get ahold of! I have a big family + big wedding = BIG REQUESTS! He made sure my wedding ran smoothly with all of the different events and time frames that happened, including announcements! His application he uses to plan the wedding helped me to even plan my wedding, like what events occur during the reception (walk in introductions, first dances, garter toss/bouquet toss, etc.) and how to make a timeline! I also wanted music to introduce the best man/maid of honor prior to their speeches and he made it happen! I also wanted a mixed-personalized song for my first dance with my mom and he made it extra special! Phenomenal! With all of the little blips that are bound to occur, he made sure that all events went with times as I needed and was on it with asking me/my mom what we wanted if something unplanned happened. I didn't feel stressed at all, he helped, like I said, to make everything very smooth and perfect! I HIGHLY recommend. I will be using him again in the future for any/all events I need a DJ for. Very detail oriented and professional, yet was so easy to converse and plan with!
Derrek was fantastic! Very detailed, professional, and you could see that he cared. Our families never left the dance floor!
Thanks for helping make our wedding fun!

Derrek was not only a wizard in the booth, he was responsive and attentive to all our needs leading up to the wedding. He used the Vibo app so we could easily select all our songs ...
for important moments and add them to the general dancing playlist at any time, and we covered the timeline of events very thoroughly. The dancing started at around 7 and literally didn't stop till past midnight. We really couldn't have asked for a better DJ to highlight all our special moments and to keep the dance floor popping. Thanks Derrek!
