Best Wedding DJ EVER!

Please look no further for a DJ! Rob was the absolute best DJ we could have asked for. He made sure to fully understand our requests and plan things out well before the wedding with us. Our wedding day went so smoothly all because of Rob! He also officiates weddings which is perfect if you don’t want to also have to find an officiant! You will not be disappointed!

Really enjoyed working with Rob!

We hired Special FX DJ Service for our wedding and reception. Rob was absolutely great to work with. He took the time to ask us questions in advance, to not only get a sense of what songs we liked but also to help develop the timeline for the evening. The average age at our wedding was probably 50, but Rob had *everybody* out on the dance floor — even my 86-year-old dad! He made sure everyone had fun and really brought the party! We HIGHLY recommend him for your next event!

Highly Recommend!!

Rob was the best DJ we could have asked for! He was very straightforward with what we needed to do and was helpful when we needed someone else's advice! He picked a lot of great music within the genres we requested, was super responsive to last-minute song requests, and everyone had a blast! I would highly recommend him for any event!

If you’re looking for a DJ that is detail oriented and fun and can get the party started… look no further!
Rob from our first interaction was exceptional and professional. He was attentive to detail and made our ceremony and reception memorable.
It was our honor and pleasure to have Rob and if such thing as a 10/5 review was allowed… he would receive it! :)

Katie & Matt’s Wedding

Rob was very personable and professional from start to finish. He communicated throughout the entire planning process and made everything flow smoothly. His response time was unmatchable. He helped with coordinating technical additions (ie. video, slideshow) to our special day. He played all our requested songs/genres and kept the party dancing most of the night. He was extremely reasonable and came with lots of experience. All around, we had a great experience with Rob and would recommend him to a friend. Thanks, Rob!

Diligent, Professional and Easy going

We had Rob DJ our wedding. Rob is a thorough professional. He will make sure the process of getting information from you as less complex as possible.
We had a mixed cultural wedding with tunes from around the world. Rob made sure the DJ transitions in between these tunes are seamless. Definitely recommend Rob for any event.

Married on 10/08/2023!

Rob is kind, fun, professional and super talented! He made sure he had everything we wanted and was very organized and precise. The night couldn't have been more perfect, thanks to Rob. He had our guests on the dance floor from beginning to end. We got tons of comments about the music, lighting and energy from the DJ Booth. Thank you Rob for being so incredible and keeping the party alive! You're the best :)
