Armed with nearly 175 thousand streams across 15 separate platforms, he’s the proud host of the region's number one wedding podcast, where advice flows freely—sometimes for couples, sometimes for vendors, and always delivered with the subtlety of a confetti cannon.

With 30+ years in the biz, over 3,500 events rocked, 1,000 glowing reviews, and a résumé so sparkly it could double as a disco ball, this guy doesn’t just sugarcoat reality—he skips the sugar altogether. Millennials and Gen Z? He sees you. He knows your flea-sized attention spans. That’s why his micro tips are short, snappy, and unfiltered, served with a heaping side of "you're welcome."
The accolades? Oh, they’re endless. Seven-time "International Mobile Entertainer of the Year" finalist. Multi-time "Best Of" winner in Philadelphia, San Diego, AND Bucks County. The nation’s loudest, proudest LGBTQ wedding advocate, and the first to hoist the Pride flags at the International DJ Expo like the hero weddings never knew they needed. Oh, and did we mention he’s officiated over 200 weddings? Including 50+ same-sex unions? Or that he had the honor of MCing THE Jason Kelce wedding with his buddy Bob on the decks? Yeah. #GoBirds indeed.
So, buckle up for DJ ESG's wedding wisdom—raw, real, and straight from the heart. Peace, Love, and God Above!

Speaker 0:This past weekend I had a bride and groom that just said Eric, do what you do. No song list, no, nothing, you do what you do. And I'll tell you this, it worked. From the moment dinner was over till the last song was played Checker flag shake and was over, and it was incredible not a single person off that dance floor. Well, I mean, there was people on off dance floor, but the dance floor was honestly got packed the entire time. They let me just do what I do and I did what I did. People did ask for songs. I got them in there, but they weren't shit songs. They were songs that worked and made sense. And I'll tell you this man, it was a party from the cover to the cover, and and I mean open the book, close the book Every page inside was something happening. Not only that, but I want to piggyback off something that one of my other colleagues up in Southern East Central North Jersey party is, nick Spinelli, said something in the lines of glow wands.
Speaker 0:I talk about this all the time. Yes, people do not understand sometimes how to dance with their hands. They're either smoking a cigarette, playing with their remote control, but if you give them something to hold they're called glow wands and you give it to them as soon as dinner's over, they have something to put in their hands. They're not uncomfortable, they can shake them around, almost like this microphone. You know they're shaking, they I got stuff in this hand poker chips and you're moving around like left and right and you're able to you know, do something with your hands instead of just going like that with my hands.
