Overview

For more than 25 years, I've been creating unforgettable events—from weddings and corporate functions to luxury-brand activations, mitzvahs, private parties and legendary, New-York dance events. I don't just play music—I read the room, shape the energy and create moments that bring people together. Whether you need an elegant soundtrack, a packed dance floor or an experienced MC to guide the event, I make sure everything flows naturally from start to finish. I'm professional, easy to work with and trusted by clients who expect a great experience.

No More Doubt

My husband doubted me when I admitted that I had chosen the DJ our daughter had recommended for his important corporate event. He dismissed Herbert Holler as someone suited only for young people. But I stood firm in my decision, confident in the research I had done. I had spoken with Herbert personally, received a glowing referral from an older fan, and felt assured that he was the perfect fit for the occasion.

During our conversation, I outlined exactly what I envisioned for the event. Herbert listened carefully and explained how he could bring that vision to life. When an unexpected technical issue arose in the planning process, he handled it with such efficiency and professionalism that I knew we were in good hands.
The night of the event, as I watched him setting up and getting into the zone, I felt a surge of confidence. He had an energy that filled the room even before the music started, and I just knew the evening was going to be extraordinary. And it was. The atmosphere he created was nothing short of magical. Guests of all ages were raving about him throughout the night. Even my husband, who had been so skeptical, turned to me and said with a smile, “He’s really good!”
Herbert didn’t just meet our expectations—he exceeded them. I’m already looking forward to working with him again and witnessing his ability to transform yet another event into something truly unforgettable.

Highly Recommend!

Herbert DJ'd our recent corporate event and he was amazing! Played great music that energized the group and boosted the overall atmosphere. Herbert also served as a great MC and was able to engage the group with announcements throughout the day. Would definitely work with him again for our upcoming events, as he was very communicative, professional and easy to work with! Thank you again for a wonderful event - we received nothing but positive feedback from our guests about the music and all agreed you were a nice addition to our corporate event!

Our Bar Mitzvah was amazing--thanks to Herbert Holler!

Herbert Holler is an amazing DJ! We wanted our son's bar mitzvah to be a great dance party--and HH ensured that it was! He played fantastic music, was able to read the room, keep all the guests' energy up, and he found us the perfect MC. When the night began with a slight snafu (bc of the space, not him), he worked it out himself, making sure there'd be no stress coming our way. We highly recommend him for your party. He's a total professional, and he knows how to bring the party.

Thanks, Lisa! You and your family are beautiful, and full of love, and it was awesome to witness! And Joseph Papp's Library was SUCH a cool room for a party! I'm so happy you were pleased. Mazel tov, all the best, l'chaiim!

What to expect

When you hire me, you're getting much more than someone who plays music.

For more than 25 years, I've helped create weddings, corporate events, mitzvahs, galas, private parties, brand activations and celebrations where the music doesn't just fill the room—it shapes the entire experience.

Every event is different. Some call for an elegant, understated soundtrack. Others need a packed dance floor from the first song to the last. My job is to read the room, understand your guests and create the right energy at the right moment.

I work closely with every client before the event to understand your vision, your timeline and the music that matters most to you. On event day, I arrive prepared, professionally dressed and focused on making everything run smoothly. Whether I'm providing DJ services, serving as MC or coordinating with your venue and vendors, my goal is for you to relax and enjoy the celebration while I handle the details.

You'll never get a cookie-cutter playlist. Every event is mixed live and tailored to the crowd, drawing from both your suggestions along with decades of musical knowledge spanning Motown, disco, funk, soul, classic rock, hip-hop, R&B, reggae, Latin, house, dance, pop and today's hits.

Above all, I believe the best events bring people together. My job is to create moments your guests will remember long after the last song ends.
