It’s always best to book your DJ as early as possible, especially for weddings and special events. Many of the most sought-after vendors, including top DJs, are booked a year or more in advance. The sooner you reserve your date, the better chance you have of securing your ideal DJ and avoiding disappointment. We recommend reaching out as soon as you confirm your event date to ensure we’re available to make your celebration unforgettable!
When it comes to music selection for events, choosing the right tunes is crucial for setting the perfect atmosphere. I provide clients with online planning tools that allow them to create customized playlists, including must-play, play-if-possible, and do-not-play lists. I want to make sure I play the music YOU want to hear and create a memorable experience for you and your guests!

“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.
Robert was wonderful! Our entire party had the best time dancing. He was very professional and courteous. Would recommend him to everyone!!
WOW! We had the greatest wedding day and we owe much success to Robert J Nicpon Productions! From the moment we connected, Robert was friendly, professional, responsive and completely flexible. We wrote our entire ceremony, selected the songs we wanted throughout cocktail and dinner hour and Robert filled the dance floor ALL night long!
