My new husband literally ripped his pants!!!

Robert was so fun and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. He respected our budget, and was flexible when it rained all day on our wedding. He was very organized on wedding day and coordinated with our planner, but more importantly, he was a HUGE hit with our guests! The song progression and transitions between songs through the reception were so fun that my new husband literally ripped his pants... Rob had a breakdance moment of his own (no ripped pants), which was also a fun surprise! I made a special note to him to surprise them and play my parents' first dance, which he did, and it was one of my favorite moments of the night.

Thank you!

DJ PRIME hosted my best friend's wedding last weekend, and he did not disappoint! Throughout the entire process, he was professional, responsive, flexible, and very accommodating! He brought a lapel for the bishop to use during the ceremony, and even brought additional mics just in case someone else needed one. During the reception, he kept it classy by playing appropriate music for the guests and had us jamming to the CHA CHA SLIDE and other tunes! He even collaborated with the LIVE singer without notice, and made adjustments to last minute changes to the timeline seamlessly! THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!! I look forward to working with you again!

Brought the Party

Robert was so much fun to work with for our wedding. He was super responsive in emails and texts and he really came out to bring the party. He really got our vibe from the song selections we sent him. The songs he picked were FIRE. We had loads of compliments and it really felt like there was something played for everyone. To top it off he came out from behind the DJ booth to breakdance with the wedding guests.

Wedding Ceremony/ Reception

We hired Robert for our wedding during COVID, when it was very difficult to meet people, so finding somebody I knew would be great was essential. I found videos of Robert’s work online and was impressed right away. His work at our wedding did not disappoint in the slightest!

Robert was by far our best vendor of the night, and many comments from family and friends indicate that I’m not alone in that opinion. Right from the get-go, Robert was responsive, punctual, and precise. He is a straight-shooter and does what he says he’ll do.

My wife and I are both music teachers and I work as a freelance musician too. So naturally, the music was extremely important to us both. Robert’s smooth ability to take any precise instruction and run with it was absolutely awesome! Any cue, musical entrance, announcements…. he nailed every one! He also paced the flow of the music and song choices remarkably well; nobody felt that the energy was off the entire night. Simply put, Rob can read a room and respond perfectly.

The best part of all, though, was that I wanted myself and about a dozen friends to perform the music for my ceremony live. Robert was willing to go double-duty and serve as the sound guy for this performance. Again, he absolutely hit it out of the park!

Aside from the professionalism and musical skill, Robert was just genuinely great to work with. A fun, charismatic, and great guy; he’s the total package. I give Robert my highest recommendation, and would advise anybody to hire him for your function! I even talked to him about involving him with other musical work of mine in the future!

Excellent DJ

DJ Prime made the whole process so easy. He responded quickly every time I texted him. He had a phone call with my daughter to find out what kind of music she liked and had her send him a playlist of requested songs. He was at my event in plenty of time to set up his great light system and other equipment. The music was great and he also breakdanced which was a huge hit with the guests. I’m very glad I hired him and I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ!

Professional, and awesome DJ and MC

Robert did an amazing job getting the timing of our music right for our ceremony and reception songs. He was responsive, which I really appreciate and he was especially fun when he interacted with our guests and broke down into a breakdance. I loved how he had mentioned that he likes to treat every wedding as if it was his own. I trust Robert to do an excellent job and will recommend him to anyone that needs a DJ and MC for any event.
