    Fun, Professional, and Easygoing

    Bob was incredible to work with and he knew exactly how to make our day run smoothly. He also took our wacky song requests while still managing to keep everyone on the dance floor. We even had an actual cheesy congo line break out with old and young guests alike - it was amazing. It was truly the best day of my life and I danced the whole night to the best soundtrack!

    Awesome music and great MCing

    DJ Artman set up lighting that made out ceremony and reception area look classy. He was detailed in everything we wanted during planning and ensured the crowd enjoyed themselves.

    Best dj ever

    I literally cannot recommend Artman DJ enough. I had no idea what I was doing when I was wedding planning and he was recommended to me. He TURNED THE PARTY. I think the best weddings are a packed dance floor and he killed it! The best songs and had great ideas for what songs to play when. He emceed and kept the guests laughing and dancing. You cannot go wrong with him! 5 stars and two thumbs for real you will not be disappointed.

    Bob was amazing! Very professional, and easily read the crowd when playing songs. At one point, I thought people had started leaving already and then realized that everyone was on the dance floor! It was that way most of the night! I highly recommend Bob...he does not disappoint!!!

    After being in 5 weddings that Bob hosted over the years, I had the opportunity to hire him for my own! His ability to read the crowd and take charge helps take all the worry away. Our guests danced the night away and and the up lighting added a nice touch to our event!

    Bob was recommended to us by our wedding venue (City Club of Washington), but we had also interviewed a few other DJs before choosing him -- a decision that we were very happy with in the end. He was the most humble and down-to-earth, as well as the most reasonably priced, DJ we met. He's very friendly, professional, reliable, and straightforward. He drafts a schedule with you when you first meet, makes changes as needed, and then follows it on the wedding day to make everything run smoothly. He did a good job emceeing our wedding, made fantastic music selections that kept people dancing all night, accommodated all of our requests, and joined us on the floor for a line dance. One guest commented it was one of the most fun weddings he's been to. We would highly recommend booking Bob as your wedding DJ!

    Bob was amazing! He provided DJ services for our wedding which was located at the Sheraton in Old Town Alexandria and we couldn't have been more happy. Bob was professional throughout the entire reception and did an excellent job at selecting music that kept the dance floor hoppin'. He was also extremely flexible when it came to last minute changes. I would highly recommend using Bob Artman as your DJ. Thanks Bob!

    Bob Artman made my daughter's reception special with his flexibility and the fun party atmosphere he created with his music and special lighting. He was able to add requested songs in an instant and everyone enjoyed his music by dancing the night away. I highly recommend ArtmanDJs.

    My wedding would not have been the same if it hadn't been for Bob. My husband and I have very different tastes in music and Bob was able to suit us both perfectly. He did the music for our ceremony, our cocktail hour and our reception. During the reception there wasn't a time that there were't people on the dance floor. The music was very important to me and I couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Bob. We were able to trust him completely; he made sure to account for every possibility. He takes a list of songs that you don't want played, and under no account are they played (someone at my wedding tried very hard, but he honored our wishes). I am SO glad that Bob was part of our wedding celebration, he truly made it a celebration.

    Bob Artman was an outstanding DJ for our wedding on August 10. I can't say enough good things about him. My guests are still talking about how wonderful our DJ was!! He knew exactly what type of music to play to get our guests on the dance floor. We gave him a play and do not play list and he stuck to it! I would recommend him a million times over.

    Do yourself a favor and book Bob Artman for your wedding. I never expected to receive so many compliments on the Deejay and the music he played at our reception. Our guests really enjoyed that he played everything from oldies to current hits.

    Bob was great, very professional and seemed to understand the mood of the crowd. When we first met with him, he helped us create a timeline for our reception, which I was then able to use with our other vendors. He was more affordable than the larger companies and we got to meet with him directly, rather than a booking agent. This stayed true throughout our engagement and he was one of the easiest vendors to work with on our wedding day.

    Bob Artman was our DJ. He was great. I met with him, and he was very organized. He led me through creating my agenda for the reception, and was very easy to talk to. He listened to me, and didn't play any of the songs on our do not play list. He did a good job at picking music that wasn't too offensive for my older guests, and also managed to keep people dancing all night long. He was great at keeping things on schedule, but was flexible when we needed him to wait a few minutes. I was very happy with the service he provided. I would definitely recommend him to my friends.

    Bob Artman was superb for us! I had only one requirement for our wedding, besides getting hitched- I wanted to be on the dance floor, and if anyone wanted me, they needed to be out there dancing with me. Bob made that happen! People of all ages were dancing the whole night. He accommodated some of our more bizarre song choices with no worries, and worked in the "nondancable" stuff at times when they were just fine. My husband didn't want too much cheesiness, and Bob delivered just enough of the shmaltz for me, and not too much for him. I was super pleased to hear a string of my favorite indie tunes during the dinner hour, and even more pleased that the songs he played the rest of the night really got people dancing and kept them on the floor. We had no regrets with Bob, and I would highly recommend him. He's well-versed in the usual Jewish music (useful for me!) and did a great job emcee-ing as well.

    Our goal was to have people dancing all night -- Bob made that happen! He was fantastic! He kept rolling with any changes we made, and never missed a beat -- we got him highly recommended and would pass his name along to anyone!

    DJ Bob Artman did a fantastic job! He was very professional and willing to be as involved in the night as we desired. We wanted to add Indian music to the evening, and he simply asked that we provided him with a CD that night and he would work it in. He was able to read the crowd very well and kept everyone dancing and having fun when appropriate. We did not have a wedding planner, so Bob stepped right in with organizing introductions and making sure the night ran smoothly. He made us aware of upcoming events in the evening and listened to our requests or slight changes throughout the night. Bob also provided lights and had back-up equipment just in case. We would highly recommend him as a DJ!

    Bob was easy to work with, professional, and offered just the slightest hint of cheese as requested. He played every song on our must play list, took requests, and managed to get everyone up dancing. I think I left the dance floor to go to the bathroom once, but that was about it. When I saw my 81 year old grandfather dancing, I knew he was good. Bob was also half the price of other DJs we considered.

    We spoke to several DJs before making our choice, and all of them were the cheesy or overly-opinionated kind of guy we were afraid of. Bob, on the other hand, was professional, organized, and had a great demeanor. He made sure to lay out the schedule and played everything we asked for (as far as I could hear through all the chaos of the day!) :) Our venue (Carnegie Institute) was a little difficult for setup because our ceremony took place on the eventual dance floor, but however he did it - it worked. I didnt even notice him until the ceremony was over. He directed the events of the night very smoothly and I never felt like his direction was cheesy or overbearing in any way. Plus, after talking to several DJs, Bob was easily the best price if you want a smaller more personal company. Excellent - I'd strongly recommend!

    Bob was great. I am not an easy to direct person (kind of flighty...don't really know what to do with myself as a bride), but he had us on a schedule and moving in the right direction all night. That said, he wasn't pushy and open to our suggestions for how things should go. He also provided sound for the ceremony and timed everything perfectly. It was like a movie soundtrack. I just loved it.

    During the reception, he did cut my father/daughter dance in half, but I think that was better for the crowd anyway. And he had everyone in a fairly reticent family dancing. Just a great night.

    Bob really knows how to rock the house! He is a great MC AND DJ, if you need both, definitely go with him. He really has a fun time with the music and knows how to get people out there on the dance floor. He knows his stuff, so feel free to bring anything up to him. He's pretty organized, but a little forgetful. HOWEVER if you give him a list of what you want, he will pretty much play everything that you want. He's a really friendly guy and we definitely did not regret going with him for our wedding.

    Bob was the DJ at our wedding, and I was very satisfied with how things turned out.

    I interviewed two DJs that my wedding planner recommended, and I chose Bob over the other guy because he seemed very relatable, cool, organized, and like he really cared about my event. And it turns out I read him right: he was all of those things!

    He's such a pro that even though I booked him about six months in advance, he didn't really need to know many details until about one or two weeks before the wedding. I gave him information about our wedding - timeline, playlists, audio needs, etc. - and he just made it all work!

    He also emceed the night and I loved how he was very low-key about it. He informed people about what was going on, provided smooth transitions between events and did exactly what we wanted him to do.

    As far as responsiveness goes, I found that Bob communicates best with phone calls as opposed to e-mails.

    I highly recommend Bob because he was reliable, competent, professional, cool and also offered his services at a very very reasonable price - a lot lower than the DJs I found on theknot.com or other wedding websites.

    We used Bob Artman for both our ceremony music and reception music and we were extremely happy with both. We didn't send him our music requests until about a week before the wedding, but he had everything we requested at the wedding. He was also great about checking with me when he received requests for the Electric Slide just to make sure I would be okay with it (I was). He played the right amount of older and newer songs, and a good mix of dance and slow songs. If you are like us and music is not one of your top priorities, Bob is a professional, no-hassle choice for a DJ.

    Bob A did a great job accommodating my and my husband's almost opposite musical tastes! He fit in college fight songs, the Partridge Family, GaGa, and a first dance. He played to the party and made sure it all flowed together. For five hours he was pricey, but I didn't have to worry about a thing in the end.

    We worked with Bob from Artman DJ's for our wedding. When we first met with Bob, he impressed us by how organized we was with his approach to the wedding. We hadn't considered that the DJ would also serve as the Emcee for the event, and are glad Bob put us on the right path. During a quick 30 minute meeting, we were able to map out the timeline of the entire wedding as well as agree upon some songs for different parts of the evening. Between that initial meeting and the wedding, we exchanged emails about song selections and changes to the event (including the decision to use Bob for the wedding ceremony music). Although it sometime took longer than expected to receive a response from Bob, we eventually received confirmation of all of our changes and were ready for the event. During the wedding, Bob was fantastic - a real professional. He did a great job emceeing the event, including moving things along our agreed upon timeline and keeping my wife and I abreast of all upcoming events (toasts, first dance, etc.). His music selections were solid and he was able to get the whole room dancing for much of the night. Overall, a job well done!
