    The Best DJ, 10/10 Experience!

    We cannot recommend Rocko/RD Entertainment enough! We booked him for our recent wedding and were beyond thrilled with his services -- he brought such fantastic energy to our wedding. The dance floor stayed packed, and people did not stop raving about the music!
    The entire experience was seamless -- Rocko was prompt, professional, and so very kind. Do not hesitate to book RD Entertainment!!

    RD Entertainment's reply:

    Amanda, Thank you for sharing your experience. It was a great night and I was happy to be involved! My best to you both.

    Kept the party going all night!

    We had David and Ken for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We filled out an extensive wedding planner prior to the wedding and they followed it exactly to a T. From the ceremony to introductions and the reception it was perfect! Not only did we enjoy them, all of our guests complimented them and the staff working our event said they were the best of the season!

    RD Entertainment's reply:

    Caitlin, thanks for the review. I am pleased you, your guests and the staff enjoyed the evening! My best to you both,

    --Rocko

    Amazing DJ!

    Rocko was amazing throughout the whole process of planning and having our wedding! Rocko worked seamlessly with the other vendors and guided the day starting with music and audio for the ceremony, live music (performed by Rocko) for the cocktail hour, and music and MCing the reception. Rocko even worked with us to set up audio for my husband’s band to play! The uplighting was well worth it. Rocko transitioned from beautiful warm candlelit lighting during the dinner hour, to fun party lights during dancing. We couldn’t be happier or more grateful to Rocko; he truly made it a perfect day!

    RD Entertainment's reply:

    Hey Emilie,
    I appreciate the kind words. Your reception was a lot of fun! I was thrilled to be involved. Best to you both!

    RD Entertainment is a preferred vendor for a reason

    We got married last Saturday and people could not stop talking about what a great time they had. This was in large part due to Eric's DJing. He hit all the right notes and interspersed our preferred musics with similar classics. Essentially, he was a human Spotify Discovery Playlist. Everyone was on the dancefloor late into the night. I have had a few friends with bad DJ experiences (wrong cue, audio issues), but I didn't have to worry a bit about that. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking in the greater Syracuse area.

    Helpful at all points of the planning process, and we received so many compliments!

    Rocko from RD Entertainment was awesome; he was super communicative from the start, answering any questions we had and offering us different options for services (we ended up using uplighting that changed colors and matched in time with the music -super fun and highly recommend).

    One big thing we noticed right away was the inclusive language that he used in our planning form... With our slightly confusing family dynamics and mixed-gendered wedding parties it was really nice to not need to correct anything regarding terms like 'bridesmaids' or 'best man.'

    The wedding day itself ran incredibly smoothly and Rocko hit perfectly on everything we had discussed in our planning call, including all the must-plays and vibes we were going for throughout the day. We received a ton of compliments from friends and family members night of and following the wedding saying they loved the DJ and all the song choices and we definitely couldn't have had the party we did without him!

    Professional, knowledgeable, and kind

    We had to cancel our wedding celebration due to COVID19, but still feel the need to let everyone know what an excellent person Rocko has been to work with. He and his team are incredibly knowledgeable about the wedding industry and are professional in everything that they do. We had put a lot of work into planning our reception event, but it wasn't until bringing Rocko on board that we felt confident that things were all in place and ready to go - his experience and advice are definitely worth it! Hands down recommend Rocko and RD Entertainment!

    Completely Fantastic!

    RD Entertianment worked through our COVID Weddings flawlessly. They were easy to work with and quickly helped with all our questions. Our DJ and his assistant were AMAZING! They kept the party going and people on the dance floor all night long! I would not hesitate to recommend hiring RD Entertainment! You will not be sorry!

    RD Entertainment's reply:

    Leigh,
    Thank you for the review. We were happy to be a part of your special day! Happy Holidays to you both.

    Book RD Entertainment for your wedding!

    Rocko was THE BEST! Our photographer recommended him to us and the second we spoke with him on the phone we knew we wanted him at our wedding. He is the most down to earth person ever - so easy-going, personable, knowledgeable, professional, etc. Throughout the whole planning process we asked him a million questions based off of his experience and every time he responded with a thoughtful and helpful answer. At the reception he did such a great job at picking up on what the crowd wanted - he even got 94 year old grandma up on the dancefloor! I can't say enough good things about him. You will not be disappointed with his services.

    RD Entertainment's reply:

    Michelle, It was my pleasure to work with you guys! Thank you so much for the kind words. My best to you both!

    Rocko is great!

    We hired Rocko for our wedding at Emerson Park Pavilion, and he was awesome! He was familiar with the venue, so he provided the perfect uplighting and even back lit our twinkle lights on our pipe and drape to make them perfect! He talked on the phone with me for a while and really listened to what I wanted but also gave me his professional opinion. The dance floor never slowed down all night and my guests had a wonderful time!

    So happy with our choice!

    We were very happy with RD Entertainment DJ Services for our wedding! DJ Collie was great to work with. Very personable and was able to work in all of the songs we wanted while mixing in some other similar artists. Everyone was on the dance floor! I’d definitely recommend booking with this company for your wedding! You won’t be disappointed!

    Informative and professional!

    Rocko and Matt were amazing! Our wedding was Oct 3, 2020. Rocko was one of our only vendors that helped us through planning our Covid safe wedding. He was up to date with guidelines than our venue was. Rocko and Matt orchestrated our ceremony and reception flawlessly. We would recommend 10 out of 10 your wedding would be in safe hands if you went with RD Entertainment!

    Rocko is the best

    Rocko provided the absolute best DJ service I have ever seen. All of his music choices through our reception were perfect.

    Professional and Experienced DJ

    My wedding was on the smaller side (60 guests) and one of the things I was nervous about was that there would not be much dancing. Rocko assured me that the size wouldn't matter, that this for sure! My guests did not stop dancing all night, even my husbands grandfather started dancing, which never happens :) We also had some indie requests for the songs we picks and that was not an issue at all. I also told Rocko they types of music we like and the overall vibe we wanted, and he took it from there, and it could not have been a more perfect night. Rocko was very flexible and easy going while being extremely professional and organized. I had him make a few last minute announcements as well, like a speech I wasn't sure would be made or not and when the bar was closing. He was more than happy to accommodate. Also the price was extremely reasonable as well for the service provided. You will not go wrong hiring Rocko.

    Emily,
    Thank you for the kind words. I am so happy you enjoyed everything about the service! I wish you both the best in your new life together! Happy Holidays

    If I could give 10 stars I would!

    From our first meeting with Rocko he was professional, knowledgeable, and put us at ease. We described the overall vibe we were going for, the type of music we like and the type our guests like, and let him know we just wanted people to keep dancing. And dance we did! We are still talking about how perfect our night went -- Rocko was the perfect emcee, moving the night along well with sincere energy and excitement. There were no awkward pauses in the flow of the event and there was not one song that our guests left the dance floor. The variety of music was perfect for the age range of our guests that we had in attendance and shifted as the vibe of the night shifted from dinner to party as well. Rocko went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect.

    RD Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for the wonderful, thoughtful words! I am pleased you both had such a fun night. It was a pleasure to be a part of your important day. Cheers

    The key to the best night ever!

    We were excited to work with Rocko after our very first phone call! He was very helpful with any questions we had and wanted to make sure that we had the best day possible (and the best experience possible during all the planning!) The music at our wedding was the most important thing to us and Rocko definitely delivered!!! The uplighting was the icing on the cake of the beautiful ballroom- and the photobooth was a huge hit. His attention to detail did not go unnoticed and we couldn’t be happier with his services!

    Rocko was amazing! He answered all of our questions and did exactly what we asked! He kept the party going all night long! We’ve had so many people compliment our music and how much fun they had dancing! Thanks again Rocko!

    Awesome DJ

    RD Entertainment did an amazing job at our wedding! Chris was really easy to work with and encouraged people to make song requests. He did a great job of blending songs we requested with current songs and oldies so we had everyone dancing all night long! We even had dancing after we did our sparkler sendoff to kick off the fire pit after party! Would highly recommend RD entertainment- they are very professional and will do the perfect blend of music at your event! Thanks Chris for helping making our wedding so perfect!

    Rocko was absolutely amazing! He was truly the best man for the job, he managed the whole night and there was endless dancing. We had a meeting before the wedding and felt so comfortable with him and he did a great job! I would recommend booking him right away!

    Excellent experience! Very accomodating and professional.

    We loved working with RD for our wedding. They were so professional, helpful, and accommodating to all of our requests. Eric did an awesome job keeping people on the dance floor and making sure all guests had a great time. The photo booth was such a huge hit as well. We would definitely hire them again.

    Excellent experience, top to bottom.

    We had the pleasure of hiring David for our wedding and couldn't have been more pleased. The planning was super detailed, and yet very easy. Both Rocko and David were very responsive and professional throughout the process and the event went flawlessly. Several guests specifically mentioned how smoothly everything went at our reception and how great the music was. We would strongly recommend RD Entertainment to anyone seeking DJ services.

    OH MY GRAVY, choose no one else BUT Rocko with RD Entertainment. Rocko is professional, kind, caring, dedicated, flexible, and HE MADE our ENTIRE RECEPTION a smashing success!! Choose no one but him!!!! We were originally going to just have a computer hooked up to a speaker, thank goodness we finally came to our senses. Additionally, my sister is a high end florist, who has been to over 1,500 wedding. Both my sister and her best friend (who was our wedding photographer, who has also been to thousands of wedding over the years), both said how amazing and awesome our DJ was! That is saying a lot. When two wedding professionals who have traveled the country doing weddings for the past 15 years remark on how amazing and fantastic OUR DJ was-- that is saying a lot. Finally, what matter most to my wife and I was the amount of care and kindness Rocko gave us on our wedding day. He was kind, responsive, caring, understanding, and really took care of us the entire night. His compassion and kindness is what make him so special in my book. Don't just hook up a computer to a speaker; and please, go with Rocko. He will take extra special care of you.n Trust me, we know. We are forever grateful and thankful for him.
