Allowed my bride and me to enjoy our affair and not worry about the music or flow of the evening. Knew when to play the right songs to either slow it down or get it moving. Worked out all the details ahead of time and went with the flow when changes occurred. Also, ceremony got moved inside due to weather, Rob made the ceremony look totally different from the reception which was held in the same room through the use of the uplights. Extra cost, but worth every dollar. Would use them again for other parties as only plan on being married once.

We chose Rob Alberti after seeing him DJ a friend's wedding. We could not have been happier with his services. Not only was he accommodating and responsive (meeting us at a coffee shop local to us), he was also extremely helpful in the planning process. During the wedding itself, Rob was a calm presence, letting me know when we needed to move things along and keeping things on track. The guests raved about the flow of the event and the dance floor was never empty. I will recommend him over and over again in the future.

Amazing what these guys did to a simple room. The decorations coupled with the lighting gave our room a feel of sophistication and elegance. The lighting changed with the activities and created a magic atmosphere. Loved every minute of it. Thanks to Brian and Rob.

This DJ service was great. Brian went out of his way to meet with us extra times.

Rob listened to our requests. When I felt like my guests were enjoying a certain song I'd ask for him to pump it up a bit and put something that will get the guests back on their feet and he did it right away. My guests said it was one of the best weddings they have been too. Music was great for all ages.

Rob Alberti provided the custom lighting for our event. We were wed and had our reception at the Society Room of Hartford. He discussed in detail with us the layout of the venue and recommended lighting custom tailored to the Society Room.

His expertise in lighting did not disappoint and our guests (and even the venue) would amazed at how his lighting TRANSFORMED the venue throughout the evening. For our ceremony, Rob Alberti provided a white wash uplight of the venue which made the Society Room glow a slight gold color. It was INCREDIBLE.

For our wedding we went with a "winter wonderland" theme. Therefore, for cocktail hour and dinner, Rob Alberti provided an ice blue uplight wash with snowflakes on the ceiling. The colors and feel were incredible.

After dinner later into the evening Rob rotated the uplighting colors giving a great atmosphere for us to dance the night away.

Rob was incredible and I would recommend anyone looking for custom uplighting for their venue to seriously consider Mr. Alberti.

Simply the best. Everything was perfect. Not one bad song. Love, love, LOVED Rob Alberti! What a great company. Nice touches all around. Couldn't have been happier with our choice.

There were many interruptions at my daughters wedding with ambulances and fire trucks and delays in guests arriving because of shuttle problems. Mr. Foley's professionalism and flexibility were greatly appreciated. He went about and beyond the call of duty.

Thank you.

My husband and I could not be any happier with our DJ, Brian, from Rob Alberti's Event Services (After Hours DJ's). We initially considered After Hours DJ because of their affordable price. We contacted Rob to let him know we were interested and he quickly set up a time to meet. We met Rob at a local Barnes and Noble, so it was very convenient for us. When we met with Rob, he showed us our different options and did not push the most expensive packages on us. (Another thing we liked is that the meeting was very tailored to us - we had met with another photography vendor who kept talking for 2 hours!) He was very friendly and gave us all the information we needed in order to make a decision (everything he gave us was also online, so if we needed to reference it later and didn't have the paper with us, it was easily accessible).

After deciding that we wanted to book with After Hours, we notified Rob and he quickly assigned a DJ to us. We learned that our DJ would be Brian, and had access to his contact information. I can't remember if we contacted Brian first or if Brian contacted us, but I guess that doesn't really matter. We booked with After Hours with plenty of time before our wedding, but we wanted to meet Brian and he quickly agreed to meet at a time and place that was convenient for us. We immediately liked Brian. He was very friendly, gave us a background of his experience, answered our questions, and offered advice when we asked his personal/professional opinion. We had told Brian how important we felt the DJ was for a wedding, that they could make it or break it. We also told him that we were looking for a DJ who would listen to what we wanted and would also use his professional judgement during the reception. He definitely did this.

Something else I should mention is that my husband and I wanted to do something different for our reception. We had made three slideshow music videos- 1 to play before the wedding party was introduced, 1 during the father/daughter dance, and 1 during mother/son dance. We knew that this would have to be done through our DJ so asked for another meeting with him. When we brought it up to Brian he told us that it was different and that he hadn't done that before (because we had made the slideshows with music on our computers already) but he had done music videos with other functions before and would find a way to make it work out. He made sure that he had all of the videos and that they all worked through his computer with the projector he had - obviously this is something that my husband and I were nervous about because we wanted it all to work out...and it all did! Brian went to our reception site a couple of hours early to make sure everything worked out, did a few trial runs, and everything went off without a hitch!

We had mentioned to Brian that we wanted as much time dancing as possible. There was a time during the dinner when the next course wasn't expected for another 10-15 minutes so Brian came and asked us if we wanted to do the parental dances during that time, so we did, and that allowed for more time dancing! He was so professional the entire time and came to us without intruding or leaving the other guests hanging to let us know of what we would be doing within the next few minutes (cake cutting, bouquet toss, garter toss), so we were never caught off guard.

This is probably more information than I probably needed to put, but I just want to express how pleased we are with Brian and After Hours. I would definitely recommend them for anyone! They absolutely catered to what we wanted - no funny gimicks or "surprises."

Their motto is "If you remember the music, you'll never forget the times." This is absolutely true. My husband and I will never forget how much fun we or our guests had. We received many compliments of how much fun everyone had at the wedding and we truly believe a large part of that is because of Brian.

Brian Birrell was the DJ for our wedding, and he was very helpful and always made himself available to us when we had questions or problems before the wedding. On the big day, he was able to transform our vague suggestions for the types of music we wanted to hear during the reception into exactly what we wanted. He had what seemed like the entire room up and dancing all night! For our first dance at the reception we had requested he play a slower, acoustic version of a song for our first dance that he didn't have, and he was able to slow down the version he did have for our dance on very short notice (it was INCREDIBLE). I can't say enough good things about Brian, and about the service he provided us and our families at our reception. From setting up the sound equipment for the ceremony to DJ'ing our reception Brian was very knowledgeable, patient, courteous and professional, and made our wedding better than I ever could have imagined. Our families are still talking about it!

Rob was a DJ for my husbands sisters wedding. We liked him so much we booked him for our wedding. Rob is very organized. He did everything we expected him to do. Everyone was dancing all night and was having a great time on the dance floor. He followed our "do not play" and "please play" lists very well. I would refer him to anyone!

Amazing DJ!! Rob did an awesome job at our wedding, we thoroughly enjoyed working with him from the very first meeting to the day of. He was there to answer any questions we had from beginning to end, gave advice and did a great job playing everything we were interested in. Our guests had a great time and danced the night away thanks to him!!! Would highly recommend.

So glad we went with this company. Everything went so smoothly and Tony played exactly the music we request and then added in his own songs as well, which everyone loved.

Angus and Dave were great and added just the simple elegance & relaxed feel we were hoping for for our wedding. Thanks again!!

Rob was great. Would recommend for to anyone for any occasion but great for weddings! Everyone had a great time and he provides great service.

They were so professional, organized and experienced. It was a pleasure working with them. This was a vendor I knew I didn't need to worry about at all. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone.
