Move DJ Reviews
Chris & Lainey
“We hired DJ Derick Castillo, and he was incredible! Derick ran the entire night seamlessly — everyone was raving about how great the music was. He nailed every announcement, played all of our must-have songs, and perfectly read the vibe of the room. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!”
Meisha & Scott
“Derick was everything and more! He kept our smaller wedding dancing all night, right up until the very last song. He was incredibly responsive and helped us make key decisions throughout the planning process. I can’t say enough good things about Derick!”.”
Rachel & Evan
“We’ve been to so many weddings where the DJ felt like an afterthought, but Move was on a completely different level. Every detail was handled with care, the dance floor stayed packed, and we never once worried about how the night was going. Truly an incredible experience.”
