Rodney had the house rocking!

Rodney absolutely killed it for my Wife and Is wedding! We knew he would because he did an awesome job a year before at my best man’s wedding! He kept the show on the road throughout the entire dinner and then had the dance floor packed for 3 straight hours! Professional, timely, well prepared, and has a great feel for a crowd. Everything you need in a DJ to ensure your perfect day goes smoothly and everyone has a blast. Ive gotten to attend several weddings the past couple of years and i can say without a doubt the DJ is one of the most important parts of the night! If you book Rodney, you are halfway there to having an incredible wedding! The other parts are up to you (dont get to drunk, and make sure you say “I do”!)
Thanks again Rodney!

Stellar Sounds & An Awesome Guy!

As a wedding planner, I have had the privilege of collaborating with numerous DJs, but very little of them have left me as impressed and delighted as Astro Events. DJ Rodney’s performance at our recent wedding was nothing short of exceptional, creating an electrifying atmosphere that had everyone on their feet, dancing the night away.

Astro Events demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism, expertise, and passion from the very first interaction. Their attention to detail and commitment to understanding the couple's musical preferences, as well as the overall ambiance of the wedding, was truly commendable.

The execution of the set by DJ Rodney was flawless. The transitions between songs were seamless, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed throughout the entire evening. His ability to read the crowd and adapt the music accordingly was remarkable, catering to our couples diverse tastes and creating an inclusive and lively atmosphere. Whether it was the couple's favorite romantic song or a high-energy dance anthem, Astro Events had an innate sense of timing and selection, ensuring that every moment felt tailor-made for the occasion.

DJ Rodney’s ability to curate a playlist tailored to our couple's preferences, their flawless execution, and their dedication to creating an immersive experience were unparalleled. As a wedding planner, I highly recommend Astro Events to any couple seeking a DJ who can bring their wedding celebration to life!

Rodney Charles was hands down the best DJ I have ever seen. He was a consummate professional the whole time, and did absolutely everything to accommodate my wife and I at our wedding reception. Rodney was incredibly talented, and incredibly humble at the same time, which is so very rare. He called my wife and I prior to the wedding, completely understood everything we wanted him to do, and gave us much needed peace of mind. There was never a dull or stagnant moment throughout the whole reception, and he is 100% responsible for that. This is someone we will absolutely use again for future events, and give him our highest recommendation to anyone looking for an outstanding DJ!

From the moment we got engaged, we knew we would be using Astro for our DJ - their whole team is amazing!!! Even knowing that though, could not have prepared me for the INCREDIBLE job that Rodney did. My new husband and I were truly blown away - the dance floor was packed from BEFORE the main food went out, and never stopped all night. My 86 year old great aunt was breaking it down, and our friends that aren't typically big dancers, were on the dance floor THE WHOLE NIGHT - it was a true testament to Rodney's skills. He is most definitely in the right profession. Not only that, but Rodney is fun and easy to work with. He made the whole process stress-free, and while we had a few requests that he played, we left the rest up to him...AND. HE. NAILED. IT. He was totally flexible with a last-minute change in the order of events, and was also a great emcee - got everyone pumped up and he made clear, professional announcements, without sounding the least bit cheesy (as some wedding DJs can). Rodney was such a huge part of making our reception the best night of our lives, and we could not have been happier with our decision to hire him. Thanks again, Rodney!!!

Rodney created the PERFECT night! Before we get to that, it should be known that Rodney was there every step of the way! We knew from working/attending other functions that Rodney DJed for that when we got engaged that we HAD to have him at our wedding. He was one of the very first vendors that we booked to make sure we secured him! Rodney helped us figure out how the flow of the night would go, gave us ideas for songs, and shortened/edited songs so that they would fit perfect with our day. He was super responsive to every question we had.

So the day of the wedding...Rodney went above and beyond for hooking up extra equipment for us. One of my favorites...he showed up in a bow tie in the colors of our wedding! It's the little things :) He kept the dance floor rocking the whole night! He played all of the must haves that my bridal party suggested. He was professional, fun, and a crowd pleaser!

Thanks for giving us the private dance moment at the end :) It is a memory we will cherish forever!

Rodney really knows how to entertain a crowd. We gave him our musical tastes, and let him pick all the songs. He even took requests and everything turned out perfect!
