“He captured EXACTLY what we were hoping for.”

“We loved seeing a packed dance floor throughout the whole evening! We heard from so many guests how amazing the music was and how much fun they had. Huge thanks to Robert for helping us throw the biggest and best party of our lives!!!” – Erin

Hands down, Robert is the best. He was the DJ at my wedding reception and he knows how to start the party and more important, keep it going. We had around 200 guests at the reception, ranging from age 5-95; and he had all ages up and dancing the whole reception. From my 5 year old nephew to my 90 year old grandma.
