I found Evolving Events through diligent research on Instagram and my husband and I were so glad we went with Eric and his team for our wedding day! From our first phone call, we i...
nstantly vibed with Eric as he knew what we were looking for and we felt like we could really depend on him from the start. He is super responsive and willing to go above and beyond to make sure we were happy. And we were definitely happy prior to and day of the wedding! One thing that stood out on our wedding was the fact that there were 2 dance sessions!! Once after our first dance (which wasn’t planned) and 2nd after speeches/dinner. Eric and his team just went off the guests’ energies and the guests LOVED it. They really know how to read the crowd. No one was sitting at the tables because they were all on the dance floor almost the entire night! Thank you Eric and team for creating such a perfect night where we could dance our butts off. We truly had the best time!
Eric of Evolving Events NYC is truly amazing to work with. I went to a wedding years and years ago and he was the Dj and i knew that one day if i ever got married he would be who i...
used. He had everyone dancing all night to hit after hit. Not only did he go above and beyond to figure out our style and the type of Music we wanted at our wedding but he also made custom mixes of metal/ dance songs for my husband to incorporate his rocker side without interrupting the upbeat vibes of the wedding. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night at our wedding too. He does whatever he can for his clients. Even after the wedding one of our guest wanted his mix/mash up of a certain song he made/played and he sent it to them instantly. Communication was easy, he answered almost immediately always and if he didn’t right away he got back in a reasonable time frame. The day of the wedding he was calm through all the hiccups we had (because of our venue) and professional. He helped with the timeline for the wedding day, rolled with any of our requests like traditional Georgian dancers and Russian/Armenian music, to handing out tambourines, to creating a poll for us-so our friends and family could vote on our first dance, to playing dancehall, to disco, to metal, to pitbull and everything in between. His staff was so cooperative, friendly and fun. Pricing was extremely reasonable with many options and add ones. We added a photo booth, cloud dancing, cold sparklers and more. He arrived early and stayed late. I strongly would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Evolving Entertainment was incredible. If you’re looking for a Dj that is nice, easy to communicate with, fair priced, will go above and beyond for you, will play any genre of music, will keep your guests on the dance floor all night- look no further. We hired Eric as a vendor and ended the night with a friend.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Eric as our wedding DJ, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, his communication was outstanding—...
always responsive, professional, and genuinely interested in understanding our vision for the day.
On the day of the wedding, we had to make a last-minute change of plans due to unexpected rain. Eric handled it all with total grace and flexibility. He moved locations without missing a beat and helped keep the atmosphere light and joyful, making sure our guests stayed focused on the celebration, not the weather.
The music was everything we hoped for and more. Eric’s ability to seamlessly mix songs kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night. He read the room perfectly and played something for everyone—whether it was a throwback for the older crowd or current hits that had everyone singing along. The flow was flawless, and the vibe never dipped.
And we can’t forget the photo booth! It was such a hit with our guests and gave us so many fun, candid memories to look back on. The photos captured genuine moments of joy, laughter, and celebration—and we’re so grateful to have them.
Eric’s talent, professionalism, and calm presence truly set him apart. He played such a big role in making our day stress-free, fun, and unforgettable. We honestly can’t recommend him highly enough!
Hands down the BEST DJ in the tri-state area!
Our biggest worry was having a dead dance floor, especially with a mix of younger and older guests. But DJ Eric absolutely crushed it ...
from start to finish! The music was incredible, everyone was on the dance floor all night long. He blended music from both my family’s and my wife’s cultures seamlessly, making sure everyone felt included and celebrated. DJ Eric truly went above and beyond, and we feel so lucky to have had him at our wedding. We’re already looking forward to booking him for future events. If you want a packed dance floor and unforgettable vibes, Evolving Events NYC is the only way to go!
Thank you, Eric, for making our wedding so special! Every song and moment felt perfect, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how incredible you were. You gave us a night we’...

he online client portal is convenient and organized. The day-of went without a hitch. Everything showed up on-time and sounded crisp. They even worked with us to incorporate some home-baked musical elements into our reception. We can't recommend EENYC highly enough, they are a joy to work with and truly made our special day extra magical!
I couldn’t have asked for a better entertainment group. Eric and Evolving Events NYC are truly the best of the best and they had our reception running smoothly all night. Before th...
e reception even happened Eric and Jumpin Jay were able to make the whole process simple by helping us break it down and figure out what song should go where and how the whole night should be played out. From the start of the reception they were able to help get everyone excited from introductions to even the last song. Eric was truly able to make everyone happy and energetic all night and helped make sure there was never a low light in the night.
The Music selection was perfect, it was everything we asked for and more. Jumpin Jay made sure to somehow fit in all our requested tracks with seamless transitions into all the music which was super impressive. Eric and Jay were the nicest guys and made sure all night to keep checking in with my wife and I to make sure we were having a great time and to make sure our families were having a great time as well. At the end of the night everyone couldn’t stop telling us how great of a time they had and how they didn’t want to get off the dance floor all night. I would highly recommend Evolving Events NYC!
Wow, wow, wowww!! We are sooo happy we hired Evolving Events NYC for our wedding. They were extremely professional, they went above and beyond, and they were sooo much fun. The BES...
T MC & DJ, I highly recommend to everyone. They did an amazing job entertaining our big family (Dominicans & Puerto Ricans), who were all asking for their information after. If you are debating between mc/djs for your wedding or party, just hire evolving events nyc, thank me later!

list kept our guests on the dance floor all night, and we received so many compliments about the playlist. One guest even told us it was the best wedding dance floor they had ever seen! We gave him a lengthy 'must play' and 'consider to play' list and he hit on almost everything, adding in his own mixes to keep the energy up. Would highly recommend Eric and Evolving Events!
As soon as we found Eric and his team at Evolving Events NYC, we knew we had to book them for our wedding on 6/3/23! Eric is extremely professional, personable, and made the entire...
planning process so easy. Eric picked a phenomenal selection of music and he kept everyone dancing the entire time. So many of my guests (and other vendors) told me that Eric was the best DJ they had ever heard! My wedding was two weeks ago and my guests cannot stop raving about Eric and his team. Evolving Events NYC, thank you for making my wedding so memorable and fun. I could not recommend Evolving Events NYC enough!
When my husband and I decided on a DJ for our wedding we knew it would be Eric and his team. They did my dad's 90th birthday and both of my nieces weddings over the past few years....
No matter what you are celebrating, Evolving Events is the way to go. Everyone told us how awesome the music was and we danced all night. Thanks you guys for helping to make our night so magical!

our budget. Evolving Events did not disappoint! Eric was professional, friendly and on point. He assured us from our initial phone call that he could meet are needs and he sure did. He met all our requests and made the evening flow incredibly. I was pretty much on the dance floor the entire night along with our friends and family. We even got compliments from our guest about the music. Thank you so much Eric & Evolving Events.

h the night and entertaining our guests. As for the Photo Booth I had accidentally swapped out our markers for our photo book but the team came through and was able to get the correct ones. The attendant even made a round to the guests and got some messages in the book. We are just so thankful for them! Don’t pass up on these guys!
Evolving Events is the complete package! Their photobooth backdrops, props, and attendant are like no other. Eric is a great hype man who can get the crowd on the dance floor witho...
ut being cheesy, and also can tactfully guide people from the ceremony, cocktail hour, to the reception, The DJ was also amazing and had our guests dancing all night long. They hit every song I wanted to hear and ran with a general list of genres I was hoping to hear. When something went awry (as it does in every wedding), Eric and his team quickly stepped up to smooth things over and keep the show going, Our guests raved about what a great playlist, MC, and photobooth we had. Eric is also thoughtful in giving advice about other wedding planning tips. We'd recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

ils that we had missed (week of helped us get pipe and drape in our ceremony space!). Eric kept the night moving on schedule, the energy was incredible and the music was absolutely perfect for our mixed generational crowd.

My only wish is we could do it all over- Evolving Events would be there. Thank you!

checked in often, and was very mindful of giving individuals a heads up before their roles came up and keeping them calm (for example, reminding our speech givers a few minutes before their speeches so that they would be ready). Eric was also very grounding on a day that could have been otherwise very stressful!

ization holds holiday parties annually with about 400+ in attendance every year and we always know that Eric and Evolving Events would have everyone on the dance floor having the times of their lives. Anyone that has a wedding, sweet sixteen, or any type of party, I refer them over to Eric without a blink of an eye. They really are the best at what they do. Thanks Evolving Events! 🙏

To Eric and his wife Zully I can't thank you enough for such an extraordinary experience!

Everyone enjoyed the music. Eric's crew did a great job in following our music requests and listening to our suggestions. It brought a lot of people out on the dancefloor.
