We hired Eric to play at our retail store Grand Opening and he was exactly what I was looking for. His play list was perfect and provided the exact energy we wanted. Will definitely hire him again for future events.

Bash Beats were perfect for our NYE Party at our restaurant. Communication was solid before, during and after. Gave information promptly so we could be set up for him. Customers loved the music and the party was a great success.

My husband and I had a great experience with Eric. He was so responsive from the beginning and extremely flexible and easy to work with. He really cared about and focused on understanding our music preferences and putting together sets of exactly what we wanted to hear at our wedding. He did one set of acoustic guitar and singing, which he sounded amazing. The rest of the night was a DJ set and our floor was full of dancing guests. I would definitely recommend Eric for a wedding or any other party. Thanks, Eric!

Thanks Katie! Your family and friends were so welcoming, I truly appreciate the opportunity to work with such an amazing group. If there is ever anything I can do for you and yours please let me know! Cheers.
Our Chicago office loved having him at their Year End Celebration! Thanks so much!

Amazing experience with Eric from Bash Beats at our tiny wedding reception! We only had about 30 people but Eric most definitely made the party. He was super communicative, nice, friendly, and so talented at his job. Every single person I spoke to about the party commented on how awesome the music was. He accommodated all our requests and followed all our rules for "don't play" and "must play" songs. I wish I could hire him to DJ my life. Or every other event ever. Hire him!

Bash Beats knocked it out of the park for our 2019 prom! Eric Smith is a true professional and clearly and expert at his craft. He takes the time to communicate and work with you to make sure that your experience is one to remember. My students absolutely loved him and his energy! He was able to put together a mix of current music that kept the students on the dance floor from the first song that was played to the last. I would highly recommend Bash Beats for any event! Thank you, Eric!
Prom DJ
Excellent. Professional. Played exactly what I asked him to. Great about taking requests. Would highly recommend.
Mobile DJ
Eric was great with the kids and everyone had a fun time. Even the parents were dancing!
He was on time (we were not) and flexible with all the music requests.
If we have another party, we're hiring Bash Beats!

We had an all-around Great experience with Eric from the beginning. We decided on hiring a DJ a few months out from our wedding date, so we were scrambling a bit. Eric was very quick to reply to our request. He is a true professional and very easy to do business with – his personality is very kind and patient. I have never planned a wedding (or any large event) so I was extremely nervous and flustered – Eric took the time to ask the right questions and get to know my now husband and I, and in doing so, he was able to point us in the right direction of the options that worked best for us! It was nice to have peace about this part of my wedding, because Eric not only helped us through the planning process, he was very involved the day of our wedding and helped us keep our timeline on track and was very flexible as we changed things throughout the day. We loved how friendly and engaged he was with the kids at our wedding. The music was on point and really captured our personalities and accommodated our guests. Thank you so much, Eric!

Response from Bash Beats:
Thank you so much! Your family definitely has some young rock stars in the making! All the best to you and yours.
Eric was wonderful to work with and truly did cater to our needs of the party. We had several children for our Halloween party and he brought bubble machines and kid/adult music. We will for sure use him again for our next event!
DJ
You have to hire him. He was fantastic. Played great music. Showed up on time. BOOK HIM! We will be booking him for future parties. :)

I personally choose Bash Beats after reading the reviews, Bash Beats seemed to be instinctive . I hosted a "Decades Party" for my residents at a apartment community. Eric arrived, set up quickly and was ready to go for the start time of the party. I had discussed the Playlist and what I was expecting but I made it clear that overall I just want my residents to have a good time. During the event I spent most of the time running around making sure everything was going well. When I stopped to look around Eric had switched things up a little and the dance floor was filled! I am so happy Bash Beats was able to fit us in his busy schedule and I am thankful for his gift. I cant wait to book him again for our future events!
DJ
Eric was very communicative throughout the process, showed up on time, and did exactly what he said he would do. The music was awesome with excellent sound quality, and he did a great job blending our needs (disco) with modern music and keeping the dance floor full. Everyone at the party complimented us for selecting him. Highly recommended.
DJ
We could not have had a better experience. We knew we had a lame crowd but Eric played all the right music and was SO easy to deal with. Responded before our event within minutes. I would HIGHLY recommend him and we plan on using him for another event really soon!!!
DJ
Although it wasn't as long as we would've liked, due to budget constraints, we enjoyed having Eric as this year's Sales Kickoff DJ. We'll call on you again, assuming we're back in Chicago next January. Thanks!
DJ
Eric did an amazing job for my 40th birthday party. He was incredibly easy to work with, very prompt and professional and played super fun music for the party. I gave him some requests and he was very intuitive and used those songs to find other great songs- it was like he was seeing into my brain. Would definitely recommend him for any party.
Mobile DJ
Guests really enjoyed the DJ! Thank you!

Eric was awesome. He was very responsive throughout the entire process and did a great job at the wedding, he was always available for any questions we had and had a great playlist for our wedding day. I would highly recommend bash beats for any party you're having!

Eric kept the dance floor full at my wedding and was accommodating of our musical requests. Highly recommend!
Wedding DJ
He was the consummate professional. He arrived early, set up, and played the songs we requested. Everyone who danced loved it, and the observers loved the music as well. I would highly recommend his services!
Wedding DJ
My husband and I can not be more happy and more thankful that Bash Beats was available for our wedding (Sept 2016). We know he was the DJ we wanted as soon as we met him for an interview. Not only was he responsive, and perfect at the ceremony, but he also went above and beyond by mixing two songs together for our first dance.
My fiance and I had both found songs we loved that were about how wonderful we think the other person is. Since we had trouble choosing which song to dance to we asked our DJ if there was a way he could incorporate both of them into one song. Sort of a pleasant mashup. He did an incredible job and even adjusted the song a few times per our notes so it it was perfect. I can not emphasize how happy we are enough.
Wonderful DJ!
Wedding DJ
Eric did exactly what we wanted and more! Our guests ranged form 14-80 and the dance floor was packed until they kicked us out of the venue becuase he knows what he is doing.
Wedding DJ
Professional and prompt. Found the groove to get my guests moving.

Eric is the most professional DJ I have ever hired. With hiring DJs for weddings, charity events and parties, Eric was the best in preparing me for a successful event. His communication is exceptional with his prompt responsiveness, good questions, and honesty. He arrived on time, like he said he would, and played continually (over 4 hours)! I would highly recommend hiring Eric! I will hire him again. He made the party a success!

We only have great things to say about Eric (E Tha DJ)!!!
From the very beginning he was friendly, professional and open to our requests (we asked for some Mexican and Mariachi music, and he totally delivered!). He was great with the kids we had at our party, and he never once complained about being outside in the cold with us (outdoor birthday party)..always had a smile!! Everyone loved him, and again, we thank him so much for DJ-ing for us!! I would recommend him again and again, and would hire again for future events!!!

Response from Bash Beats:
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the kind words and the opportunity to play for you guys. Your family was so friendly and accommodating, I'd love to work with you again! If you ever need anything you know where to find me!
I was looking for a DJ at the (semi) last minute and Eric offered a competitive quote and flexible scheduling. He was communicative throughout the entire process and accommodating towards every request.
During the event, Eric was kind, professional, and extremely enthusiastic. He really set the mood and our registrants (and sponsors, more importantly) had a great time mingling and dancing to the music he provided. He seemed to be such a fun loving guy, and we really enjoyed having him there! Thanks for being awesome, Eric!

Response from Bash Beats:
It was a pleasure working with you Madaline! I had a great time. I'd be happy to DJ for your company again, Chicago or California!
Eric loves what he does and it shows. He's friendly, works hard and very professional. Working with him took a lot of stress out of our planning. We hired him for our wedding reception (which was outside and extremely hot) but despite the heat he had no problem keeping our guests on the dance floor, in good spirits and entertained! I do not hesitate to recommend him!

Response from Bash Beats:
Yes, it was hot! I had a great time working with you and getting to know you and your family. Thanks for your business! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
Not only a great DJ, but he is also very professional. He will always be the first person I think of when looking to book or recommend a DJ! I was very impressed by his ability to capture the exact theme we discussed, and thankful for his willingness to adjust to our many requests! He is quick to respond to emails and happy to help brainstorm and work through the planning process. Very happy overall.

Thanks Ashlee! You were a pleasure to work with. Let me know if there is anything else I can do! Cheers.
"My wife and I chose Eric (E Tha DJ) as the DJ for our wedding. Honestly not only did he respect our vision, but he took it and made it more than we ever could. He took our wedding as seriously (if not more than me) as one could. We selected specific songs that were a MUST for me and my wife to hear, and collaborated with us to make a template so he understood the vibe of the party. Everything he did was spot on and on point! From the second we were introduced as Mr. & Mrs. The reception was all the way live until the last song! He made our night more memorable than we could’ve ever imagined! "
