- Lauren GilbertDarryl is absolutely awesome! He definitely has the experience to make your event go super smooth and ease any stress you might have. We scheduled a call the week before our wedding and went over every detail so we knew what to expect and he definitely delivered! So easy to work with and would definitely recommend him!12/28/2022
- Stacy ApprovatoI cannot thank Darryl enough for taking on our last minute DJ request. My husband and I are from NJ and decided on a destination wedding in New Orleans! We originally decided on not getting a DJ, but after second thought, we decided to search the month of our wedding. Darryl was quick to get back to us, and worked with us on music types and styles for our big day. My husband and I can be a little picky when it comes to music, but Darryl went above and beyond to help us pick out our playlist. We highly recommend D2 Entertainment for all your music needs!11/14/2022
- Corbin BreaultThe best decision we ever made for our wedding was hiring Darryl. He was a referral from our wedding planner and after our first conversation, we didn't even shop around for other DJs – we knew he was the right fit. Starting with music selection – Darryl's software was super easy to use and it was helpful to sort our priorities for those "must play" songs, and even more so share our "do not play" list. The week before our wedding we hopped on a call together to go over the "vibes" of our wedding and Darryl got it right away as I told him my crowd also wanted a mix of some nostalgia emo tunes. Throughout the whole planning process Darryl was responsive and professional – not to mention fun to chat with! The wedding night the dance floor almost caved in we had it so packed – the night started off with tunes for all, but Darryl knew the right time to flip the switch. My one wish for the wedding was to have a dance floor that felt like a house party and it surely did! From 2000's rap, to our favorite middle school rap songs, to the songs that just make you want to go crazy – people were literally chanting DARRYL by the end of the night because every song was banger after banger. Seriously – this is your guy if you're looking for a lit dance floor. THANK YOU Darryl – you are the best!10/19/2022
- Ciara JonkersMy fiancé and I had one goal for our wedding, for everyone to have a blast. It has been a little over 2 weeks now and people are still telling us our wedding was the most fun they’ve had in a long time/ the best wedding they’ve been to. I definitely thank Mr. Daryl for that. He kept the dance floor full and read the crowd perfectly with song choices. We had a mix of older and young crowd and everyone had songs they felt comfortable dancing to. Mr. Daryl was actually a fill in when our original DJ got sick, but he kept me feeling confident the whole time with how professional and together he had everything. I cannot recommend him enough!! A good DJ can make all the difference and this one was so perfect for our wedding!10/03/2022
- Caitlin KirkwoodAbsolutely perfect! He kept people on the dance floor all night long with his great selection in music. I highly recommend the photo booth it was so fun! Our guests loved taking pictures with the variety of props provided. I would definitely recommend D2 entertainment if your looking for a fun night filled with endless dancing6/21/2021
- Lyndsey MerckleDJs in my opinion can make or break a wedding. I have been to plenty weddings were the music just killed the vibe so I was very concerned about finding the right one. Darryls reviews were great and after sitting down with him to see if he would be the right fit, every worry went away. Our wedding music was perfect and he kept the crowd going, lots of fun!6/08/2021
- Brandy BourgeoisI am so glad that Darryl was a part of my wedding. Wedding planning for me was a bit stressful but Darryl made this part of it so laid back and easy. He was very professional but fun and made creating the playlists easy with his platform as well. I was also reassured with just how prepared he was and he made me feel like no matter what he could manage any situation that came up. Music wise he did phenomenal for everyone was dancing the entire time. He was great and I highly recommend him!5/15/2021

- Chelsea Chifici DeriseWhen I say that I can go on and on and on about Darryl, I’m not being dramatic.11/30/2020
I’m a wedding photographer, so I see a lot of dj’s. When I got engaged, I knew a particular DJ stuck out to me - D2. His weddings are ALWAYS the most fun, most organic and most hype receptions.
Being that we are both in the wedding industry,
I knew it put a lot of pressure on him. But, he excelled. Everyone is raving about how it was the most fun reception they’ve ever been to.
I’ve had 6 people (in 1 day) tell me their knees hurt from dancing too much 😂! It was the best day ever and I owe a lot of it to D2. Thank you, thank you! - Katie FoyHe personally reached out to me after hurricane Laura letting me know that I didn’t have to worry about my bill for him! He came to my wedding after just getting electricity back on at my venue! As soon as we met in person he felt like a long last friend! He played amazing music! He was a blast to have! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone because he truly cares about his customers and he knows how to get people dancing!10/14/2020
- Gabrielle HymelI would highly recommend Darryl. He did an amazing job at our wedding reception with the music, lights, and photo booth. The music was a perfect flow, and Darryl played the songs from our playlist while doing a great job as MC. My husband and I are big LSU fans, and D2 projected a tiger eye on the wall when playing LSU Pregame. All of our guests had a fun time using the props in the photo booth, and we enjoyed seeing the pictures online. D2 Entertainment will not only meet but exceed your DJ expectations.8/12/2019

- Carolyn SuttonDarryl with D2 Entertainment DJ'ed our Company Holiday Party and did an amazing job. He was very responsive from the initial contact to the event date and even followed up after the event. He arrived almost 2 hours prior to the event to set up. Had a very professional set-up complete with lights. He kept the party going all night and played a variety of music to appeal to all age groups. We plan to use him again for next year's party. I highly recommend Darryl!12/31/2022

I highly recommend him he has a great personality and is so kind and caring ! Definitely is the best at what he does!!11/20/2020
- MaeganSo happy we decided on D2 entertainment for our wedding day. Darryl was very responsive, prompt and professional. He did a great job incorporating music from our playlist and keeping people on the dance floor. The night went by seamlessly. Can’t recommend him or D2 entertainment enough!2/23/2020
- JulieI would honestly leave more stars if I could.10/31/2018
The only complaint I had from guests were "we didn't get to eat that much at the reception because the DJ was so good, I just kept dancing!".
Darryl has been an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding reception. We were a destination couple (which had it's own challenges with selecting vendors) from Connecticut and he has been so flexible and continuously made himself available for any question we had. He was also open to online video-chats since we could not meet in person which definitely made the process a lot smoother and in kind made us feel more comfortable.
His online portal was very user-friendly and had an extensive music library; on top of being open to any special song request that he did not have beforehand. My husband and I had quite the variety of music genres on our music request and he nailed it.
He also was very interactive with our guests and timed all events perfectly. We were continuously saying "we're not doing the traditional wedding" which he replied that there is no "traditional" anymore and every couple/wedding is different. The fact that he is able to maneuver around various requests and still put on a great performance with the bride, groom and their guests in mind speaks volumes. I would highly recommend Darryl and D2 Entertainment for your wedding reception!
P.S.- WHO DAT! - MacWhat can I say Darryl is a class act. From beginning to end this guy went above and beyond with both his DJ skills and simply caring about our wedding day. The day of went smooth and he kept things moving throughout the reception. Aside from the actual wedding day he was very responsive with the planning process as well. I’m not planning on getting married again but if I was I’d choose his guy every time. Thanks again Darryl!6/25/2018
- KenWe contacted many DJs in the greater New Orleans area, and one that immediately stood out to us was Darryl at D2 Entertainment. He was quick to respond to our calls and texts, had great knowledge of the industry, and seemed like a fun person.4/24/2018
Once we put our deposit down Darryl set us up with an easy to use client portal where we were able to list the songs we wanted to be played throughout the ceremony and reception portions of our wedding. We were able to add songs to a “must play” list he had and we were able to add songs to a “definitely do not play” list. The portal made things incredibly easy for us, and ensured we would have a good time during the reception.
From the time we retained Darryl’s services, he was basically available whenever we needed to discuss things. Honestly, he would respond to text messages within a few minutes no matter the time of day. He even came out to the French Quarter to meet us a year before our wedding date when we were in town to meet some other vendors. It’s always a pleasure to work with someone as responsive as Darryl. A few days before our wedding he setup a conference call with us to go over the specifics of the wedding one more time to make sure he had everything in order.
Once the day came Darryl was awesome. He was at our venue a few hours before the ceremony setting things up. He coordinated everything with the venue himself, so he didn’t need to bother us with anything - which allowed my wife and I to focus on the things we needed to focus on.
Darryl had the right music going during the ceremony and kicked us off to the reception in style. Once we got into the reception room he had his setup room he had his setup ready to go and he got the party started. Darryl played us all the hits we requested and there never seemed to be a dull moment during the reception. He was great at reading the crowed to see what people wanted played and he gave the people what they wanted - a great time! - CatyWe are so lucky we found Darryl/D2 Entertainment. He came highly recommended by our photographer and we were not disappointed. He was very responsive and reliable from the very beginning. He offered up a lot of help since we were an out of state couple - he even set up a video meeting with us! He came to the rehearsal to double check everything and arrived early the day of the wedding. We threw him a curve ball asking for a Grand March, but he handled it great and it went really well! Such a fun night!3/21/2018
