Riptide Entertainment – Mobile DJ & Lighting

Hands down the best D.J. and lighting services you will ever find in NorCal! The minute you contact Derik and his wife Rebecca, you will feel like you’ve known them for decades. They are truly the dynamic duo who get things done. I met Derik at an event I was at for work and could’ve have watched him D.J. or talk to him all day long. It was at this event I knew I wanted to have him as our wedding D.J. Derik comes with loads of experience in the industry and just loves what he does.
Our wedding at Boeger winery was flawless. Derik even rolled with the punches when my husband wanted to surprise me with a slide show movie and he wanted to do the money dance (things I didn’t have in the wedding timeline). Derik changes, fixes and masters technology. He also has the wedding and event experience to keep the momentum going. Riptide Entertainment will by far exceed your expectations.
Hiring Derik for your event will be one of the best decisions you could ever make. Derik and Rebecca are in constant communication with you from start to finish and they guarantee to keep your party going!

Derik and Rebecca are awesome! From day one, communication with them was extremely easy and comfortable. They respond to e-​mails, phone calls, and texts very promptly! We even presented them with a new situation in which we needed microphones during our ceremony on a golf course and there was no power source. Derik solved the problem, got us a small quiet generator, and had everything under control every step of the way.
On the day of our wedding, everything went very smoothly! Derik is great at keeping everything on schedule, announcing things such as the bridal party entering or when it was time to cut the cake, and he plays great music too! We wanted lots of «oldies» and music that would please everyone across generations, and he delivered! We had lots of people out on the dance floor.
Derik and Rebecca add a personal touch that you wouldn’t expect to get from your DJ. When I first saw them on my wedding day, they both greeted me with hugs and hellos. When they left the room, one of the bridesmaids asked who they were and thought they were family. She was shocked to learn that it was our entertainment company! They go above and beyond and there are no more words to describe how great they are!

Derik and Rebecca with Riptide Entertainment are awesome! Riptide DJ’d our daughter’s wedding recently. Derik has music from every genre and if you want a specific obscure song he will go get for you. At this point in my life, I have been to numerous events with DJs and this was hands down the best! Let’s put it this way — ¾ of our guests stayed until the very end and there were three generations of family and friends out there dancing together — what better testament is there than that!
If you have a private or company event please, please consider using these folks! I truly cannot say enough good things about them. They gave us a perfect evening and memories that will last forever!

My daughter recently got married and we wanted a DJ that would appeal to all generations and crowd types to make sure that everyone at the wedding was having a great time. Our expectations were exceeded by leaps and bounds. Derik did an outstanding job of keeping the energy up and playing just the right music for the moment. He was also great at interacting with the party, but not overdoing it either. All in all, I recommend Derik and Riptide for any party or celebration, you will not be disappointed.

Derik MC’d/DJ’d our wedding and was absolutely fantastic! He did an awesome job moving thru the evening’s lineup of wedding events and keeping everyone entertained at the same time. His attention to detail and engaging personality was the perfect accompaniment to our perfect day. I would use him again in a heartbeat!

Aside from being an Colorado Avalanche fan, Derik is a pretty cool guy.
I work for a Vehicle Wraps, Inc. and Derik brought his Riptide Equipment trailer through for a wrap. While I may not be able to attest to Derik’s DJ skills in this review, I cam attest to his vast musical knowledge and his business ettiquette.
Derik and I spent a lot of time doing business together and I have to say that when Derik says he’s going to do something, he does it. If you’re looking for a DJ who is going to deliver when he says he is going to deliver, Derik is your guy.
