Erik was fantastic! My wife and I were married back in February and Erik was extremely flexible and played great music that got our guests on the dance floor. I am in the entertainment industry, weddings specifically, and Erik is such a Pro that he allowed me to simply enjoy my evening. I have hosted eight New Year's Eve parties in the last ten years and Erik was the most cooperative DJ I have worked with.
He captured our ethnic songs and blended it with new hip hop and dance music to perfection. I recommend him without any reservations.

We hired Erik for our wedding, and it was the best choice we could have made! We set up a meeting with him ahead of time just to talk about things, and we immediately knew that he was going to be great! He was very communicative, and was very receptive to my song choices/ideas. At the wedding, we got multiple compliments about his music selections. He was great at reading the room to cater to what our guests were responding to. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their event!

Erik made our wedding planning so easy. He understands how important a DJ is for such a special day and rose to the occasion. What we appreciated about him the most was the time he took to get to know us on a personal level. It meant a lot to us and made us feel confident in our decision to hire him. He was very professional and had the dance floor full all night! We couldn't have been happier

Erik (DJ Richterscale) was phenomenal for our wedding in October in Santa Monica. He was extremely responsive, coordinated seamlessly with our wedding coordinator and brought professionalism and kindness to the day! He went above and beyond to ensure our pianist/ friend was able to play at the ceremony even though we weren't sure about her hookup system.
Erik also kept the group dancing and people had an amazing time. Erik helped us achieve exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend him.

We hired Erik to DJ for our wedding out at Pechanga in Temecula and he did not disappoint! He's very professional, the lighting he supplies is ambient and perfect, and his taste in music was so similar to ours that everything he played that night was perfect. He had our guests up and dancing all night as well! There's a good reason he is on the preferred vendors list for Pechanga. I just want to thank him again for setting such a fun mood on the most important day of our lives and for being such a wonderful DJ. We highly recommended him for any of your events!

I hired Erik as a DJ for a school mother/daughter Luau. he was AMAZING!!!!!!! From the first time we spoke, he was super responsive to emails and phone call, super flexible and easy to work with. The kids had A BALL!!! He played all the music young kids like these days and they were all singing along with the songs. He is so professional, was earlier than he was suppose to be for set-up. I mean start to finish the experience of working with him was an absolute pleasure. I will DEFINITELY use him in the future!!!!

I couldn't have been happier with my decision to book with him. I was an overwhelmed DIY bride and I bit off way more than I could chew. We were very tight on budget and I was at first hesitant to book a dj because I didn't see it as "necessary" after talking with Erik on the phone he really put me at ease and let me tell you...... out of all of my wedding expenses, booking with Erik was the best decision I made for the entire wedding. He has the perfect MC voice and helped the wedding move smoothly and efficiently. He was professional and fun all at the same time. Everyone

We choose Erik for our wedding DJ and completely satisfied with our choice to have him, he kept in contact with us for 6 months and helped us with our music timing and was very easy to work with. The day of our wedding he played every song at every perfect moment and played the perfect song for each time slot of our wedding. During our reception the dance floor was packed and no one ever stopped dancing, everyone enjoy all the music choices he played and had the time of our life at our wedding. Erik is a real genuine person and is very knowledgeable at his music choices and am so thankful we chose

We just had Erik do our wedding at Gold Mountain Manor this past weekend and he was amazing! He kept the music upbeat during the dancing, was on point with the ceremony and the dinner and even added little things into the speeches. He listened to everything my husband and I wanted and kept everyone happy! I will definitely use him for any other party or events. Thank you Erik!

We chose Erik as the DJ for our wedding in Big Bear, Ca on September 16, 2017. We couldn't be happier with our choice! In the months leading up to the wedding, Erik was very attentive and answered all of our questions. He also took the time to ask questions of his own in order to get to know us individually and as a couple. My husband and I have somewhat different tastes in music, and Erik did a wonderful job of melding our tastes at the wedding. Erik also had several good suggestions when we had trouble choosing a song for this or that part of the wedding. Besides his amazing DJ skills,

We hired DJ richterscale to DJ our wedding we had October 07 in Big Bear and Erik was great. I am a bit of a music snob and wanted specific music played and Erik was great! Everyone mentioned how much fun they had and how friendly an great the DJ was. The dance floor was packed! Before the wedding... he was great to work with, professional and easy to communicate with, which is MUCH appreciated when you are having to follow up with several vendors at a time. I would highly recommend!!

I first found out about DJ Richterscale (Erik) on Thumbtack. It was about 2 months before our wedding and the DJ we originally hired was no longer able to DJ for us. I went on thumbtack and received a bunch of responses to my post but DJ Richterscale stood out to us. We contacted him immediately and he was quick to respond and able to meet with us within a few days. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting him we knew it was only for the best that our first DJ didn't work out. We met with him for about an hour and he already had a good idea of what kind of music we liked and didn't like

I can't say enough good things about Erik and his DJ skills!! He made our wedding SO fun and listened to all of our requests. He really knows how to read a room and get the party moving, guests won't stop telling me what an amazing time they had dancing at our wedding. He's also great during the planning process and made the day of our wedding SO easy!! I definitely recommend Erik for all of your DJ needs :)

Erik DJ'd our wedding and it was incredible. We are two musicians in the San Diego Symphony, and as you can imagine, our ceremony choice of music was not the norm. He sat down with us over skype for about 2 hours and we just chatted about music. We went through everything from the ceremony to RSVP song requests, dislike lists, dinner music, Dance music, and went through the schedule minute by minute...from the order of the ceremony to the end of the evening. Erik basically was our coordinator once the ceremony started. He even made sure we had dinner. He read the room beautifully throughout

Well, what can I say... Erik made our wedding this last Thursday 10/6, so much fun! without a doubt one of if not the best DJ I have ever experienced. He was on top of everything for us, from the wedding to the reception! He went over and beyond to listen to you a head of your day not only to know your music choices but to know you too! He just knew when to do and play every song at the right time never had to ask or remind him about anything! I would highly recommend using him for any of your party or wedding needs he will do the very best for you, we were very impressed and he made our day

Erik DJ'd our wedding in June of this year. First of all he was incredibly professional. From what I could perceive, his main concern was our satisfaction. He was prompt, full of energy, and very polite. So, as a businessman he is top notch! Secondly, as a DJ, he is incredible! He's a lover of music, and I greatly appreciate that! He read our crowd very well. I don't think there was a time where the dance floor wasn't full of people. I highly recommend his services. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Erik!

We've never hired a DJ before and by nature are a bit skeptical.We were in need of a DJ for our wedding and Erik came highly recommended by a friend so, we decided to have a conversation with him and see if he was the right fit for our special day. We quickly learned that a wedding DJ runs the event and is essential to keeping things on track. Erik is professional, has great energy, and helped guide us through the ins and outs of our wedding ceremony and reception. There is a ton to think about when it comes to what song or songs to choose and when to play them. With his guidance we were able

As an event planner, it's important to work with people you can reply on. I recently had the pleasure of working with Erik aka DJ Richterscale at a wedding. It was nice to have a friendly, trustworthy DJ to count on. He arrived early, prepared, and well dressed. Erik timed the music for the wedding ceremony PERFECTLY. The guests could all hear the Officiant clearly, as well as the bride and groom. Erik was always very flexible with the Order of Events and accommodating to guests' song requests. He was an absolute joy to work with. He's lighthearted, cheerful, and positive. Plus
