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 extra 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 the perfect DJ for our wedding day. His setup was so professional and the lighting really added to the ambiance. He took the time to understand what type of music we wanted 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 “DJ Royal” Padilla

Owner

I have been DJing since 1996 since I was 13 years old. Since middle school I have had a love for all things hip hop. Dancing, Rapping, and eventually falling in love with DJing. as DJ Royal I have had the pleasure of DJing for the likes of Boy Dirrt, J Cole, 2-Chainz, DJ Unk, and French Montana just to name a few. I believe my love to entertain brings an electric vibe to each and every event I performs at. I hope you’ll give me the opportunity to share in and help make your special day one you will never forget.
