April 27th, 2012 – “We absolutely loved Eric. We were a little worried about how our reception would go because our families aren’t big fans of dancing… but you would never have known that if you were at our reception! We didn’t give him much guidance on music, and he knew just what to play to get the dance floor going and keep it crowded. Our bridal party and guests had an amazing time and we are still hearing compliments about how much they loved our dj! He was very attentive to us and and our guests the whole evening.” Stacy
April 23rd, 2012 - “Michael did an outstanding job as the DJ for our wedding!! From the first of several meetings, Michael was extremely personal and professional. No detail was missed as we created the agenda for our wedding night, and he was very thorough to ensure everything was covered. The speaker and light setup was great with crystal clear audio and perfect volume level. There is so much more to being a great DJ besides the music that’s played, and I can’t reiterate enough how professional and thorough Michael was. We had a large amount of song requests for our reception, and Michael used our tastes to fill in the rest. He did an awesome job of getting the young and old onto the dance floor and keeping them there for the entire night! There were many people who wanted to know how we chose him as our DJ and said that he was great. While we were eating dinner, he came to our table and asked if there was anything he could get us or do for us. That kind of consideration is not often found! Our reception was flawless, with much thanks to Michael, and I highly recommend him to anyone!” Rob
Apr 10, 2012 – “Eric was awesome. We received a suggestion about Eric and allaroundraleighdj from one of our wedding vendors. My fiance (now wife) and I met with him and were so impressed with his organization, flexibility and demeanor, we signed up on the spot. He made the planning process seamless and simple. He DJ’d all parts of our wedding and we could not have been happier with his work. Eric was SPOT ON with the music. He was so helpful throughout the evening and exceeded every expectation we had. We would recommend Eric to anyone and for any occasion. A DJ can make or break an event, and he definitely made our night.” Matt
Nov 3, 2011 – “Michael did a fantastic job at our wedding on October 15th! He was so easy to work with and did everything he could to ensure that the music at the reception was exactly what we wanted. He worked with the people at the reception venue to make sure that he got the best sound. Michael even went the extra mile and visited the venue the weekend before the wedding to check it out and see what worked best. We always felt comfortable talking to him and letting him know exactly what we wanted. He was even understanding of our busy schedules and was able to meet whenever it worked best for us. Michael was willing to get and play any music we requested including a large amount of Taylor Swift and the very popular Party in the USA. He worked with our list and played songs that got our guests out on the dance floor, which got the party going and kept it going for the rest of the night. Michael helped to make our wedding reception fun and memorable. We most definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a fabulous DJ!” – Brittany
September 23, 2011 – Eric is without a doubt the best DJ I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! He had our dance floor packed (with every age group!) from the beginning to the end! The planning process was a breeze with his wonderful online tool, and he really took the time to listen and get to know our musical taste. The ceremony was handled perfectly, and dinner music was fun and set the mood for the evening! I have had some many complements on how great the music was. You cannot go wrong with Eric as your DJ! – Faith Wilson
August 12, 2011 – We highly recommend Eric Hodgden of All Around Raleigh DJ– he did our wedding last weekend and it was a BLAST! He is so easy to work with and knows how to feel a room and play the perfect song for the moment. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and it was FLAWLESS. Our guests loved him. Highly recommend!!! Thanks Eric!

Jun 24, 2011 – Eric DJ’d my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah recently…It was amazing….He does all the right things at all the right times….musically….as an MC, etc. He really knows how to keep a party going. We were more than satisfied; it was a day to remember for the rest of our lives! Thanks Eric! – Rusty
Jun 5, 2011 - Michael did a phenomenal job as a DJ at our wedding. My husband and I met with him twice prior to the wedding to plan the music. He was always prompt, professional and very helpful, bringing along his laptop to show us playlists and let us listen to music. He even burned a CD for us to play as background music at our cocktail hour (which was in a different location than the reception). During the wedding, he played exactly the kind of music we had requested and made announcements at all the right times to help the wedding to run smoothly. After the wedding, we received many compliments on our DJ from our wedding guests. Overall, we thought Michael did an amazing job and would recommend him to anyone! – Shelby
May 17, 2011 - Michael was the DJ for our wedding. He was extremely helpful and accommodating and we really enjoyed meeting with him during the planning phases. He was also very professional during the reception and everyone had a great time! – Chelsea
April 13, 2011 – AWESOME! Eric was great. He DJ’d my wedding and did an amazing job. A few days before the wedding we met with him and spent an hour going through songs and setting the music set up for the wedding. Not only was he amazing helpful with his suggestion sheet, he was willing and able to accommodate us with any songs we wanted that he might not have had. He was amazingly professional and added that special touch we needed for the wedding. My husband and I are still getting compliments on how great the music was and how the DJ did such a great job. I highly recommend him, and if I ever need a DJ again, he will definitely be my first and only choice! – Alijean
Super Fun! I’ve had the chance to attend a couple events DJ’d by Eric. He took the time to make sure everything was just right for the client and party-goers. He even took the time to let my son help him fade the tunes. Everyone had a blast and it was super fun!!
Great Price and Awesome Service! Eric DJ’d at our surprise wedding ceremony and reception. Not only did he offer the best price in town, but he played the kind of music we requested, had good ideas and suggestions, and was very reliable. We all had a blast! We have high regards for his services and highly recommend others to use his services.
