I’ve worked with Erik for years—back when he was part of a multi-op company and now as the owner of Euphoric Entertainment, where he brings his signature mix of warmth, flexibility, and dang good music to every event.

This episode was such a fun one to record, not just because Erik’s voice was made for radio (he literally has a broadcasting degree), but because everything he shared is so practical, honest, and helpful for couples trying to figure out: What actually matters when hiring a DJ?

From ceremony audio to dance floor magic, we unpack it all. And if you’ve never thought about what would happen if the mic didn’t work or the music cut out before your first dance? Don’t worry—Erik has. That’s why we trust him.
