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.

He’s played at the most notable lounges, bars and dance clubs in NYC nightlife history, from Wall Street to 125th, from Brooklyn to the Bronx, not-to-mention guest spots across the globe, in cities like Tokyo, Venice and London. He works with a growing list of high-profile clients (Samsung, Porsche, Live Nation, Sony/ATV, etc.), event-production teams (Creative Edge Parties, Glow, Frost Audio, etc.) and world-renown artists (Snoop Dogg, Diplo, Benny Blanco, Boyz II Men, John Legend, Mark Ronson, Blondie…), and continues to spin some of the most celebrated annual events in NYC (like the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball and Brooklyn Botanic Spring Gala). He’s also created the most legendary old-school dance party in world history, Herbert Holler’s Freedom Party®, voted “Best Party” by Papermag, Village Voice and URB (now in its 20th year of parties, with over 1000 events to date, touching dance floors on a regular basis in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia), and My House™, a highly sought-after dancers’ destination for deep house music.
