    I don't know much about DJing but I think Rob did a great job.

    Rob not only got the dance floor going he kept it going through out the night. It was a nice change of pace to hear how he would mix and cross-fade (I think those are the terms) different songs into the others making them completely new sounding. Watching him work and actually spin and scratch the records and do it live while seamlessly adjusting for who was on the dance floor at the time (The older crowd and the younger crowd that was dancing at different times at this wedding you could tell he's the kind of guy that really honed his craft and technique.

    I couldn't have asked for a better company. During the planning robert was attentive in getting back to me with all my questions. He was professional and made me feel relaxed when everything about a wedding planning was driving me crazy. Robert made it so special and preformed everything so smoothly. Amazing job thank you so much. My guests were on the dance floor all night long!

    Robert played a great selection of music throughout the night and anticipated the crowd and their mood.
    His gear is top notch, amazing quality and very "with it" sound! I loved working with him!

    Awesome DJ!! I am a professional wedding photographer, and having photographed hundreds of weddings, the fact that DJ Playground, Rob, actually mixes from song to song is amazing. He kept EVERYONE on the dance floor all night. Most "wedding" DJs do NOT have this ability - and if they do, they don't do it as well as Rob. His enthusiasm, professionalism and skill set are unparalleled. I very much look forward to working with him again and again.

    It was a pleasure working with Rob. He had the guest dancing the entire time! As the wedding coordinator, it is always a pleasure to have someone who works with you to make sure the wedding couple has the day of their dreams.

    Robert was awesome. Everyone keeps thanking us for having such great music. We had a blast. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a fun (and professional) atmosphere at their wedding.

    Planning a wedding is difficult as you have to deal with multiple vendors. Some are more personable than others. DJ Playground made everything easy from the very beginning. From listening to our requests to performing every detail of our plan on the big day. But what tops it off? A heck of a good time - my friends and family had a blast! We couldn't be happier. We definitely will recommend him to others!

    DJ Playground was a truly incredible DJ. He was great about getting back to me before the wedding and helped me plan what we should play. He was very professional and easy to work with. Then, at our wedding, he created one of the best dance parties I've ever attended. He responded very well to the mood of the party and kept the party going. I recommend him highly!

    If you want to have a wedding that people can't stop talking about hire Rob !! Our dance floor was packed the entire time. We started with country music (first dances) and ended w/ hip hop. Rob will play whatever you ask but I'd say to let him know what you like and then let him do his thing - he is unreal. No complaints & highly recommended. I'm trying to come up w/ a reason to have another party just to hire him.

    Playground productions was amazing. Rob sat down with us months before our event and made sure he had all the music that we liked before he made his playlist. To us, that was the most important thing. I've been to other weddings where the DJ just plays whatever and the crowd either loves it or hates it. To us, it was truly about what we like and Rob was more then accommodating. Rob was extremely professional and we would recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a great DJ and ENTERTAINER! Thanks again Rob!

    Professionally speaking, I am the harshest critic of all because a big part of my job is managing and executing weddings for other people. With that being understood, I deal with dozens of DJ's a year so I have very high standards that I demand at work and the fact that Rob was the DJ I chose to do my wedding should speak volumes. I have no problem recommending Rob as your wedding DJ because I have the unique perspective of being on both sides of dealing with "The DJ": As a paying client and as a professional that has had to work hand-in-hand with DJ's to make sure the event goes off smoothly. The three most important factors at a wedding are; the venue, the food and the music. Those are three very big factors. If you have Rob as your DJ you have already eliminated 1/3 of your concerns.

    The musical tastes of both my wife and I are eclectic at best. When you factor in the wide-ranging age of the guests at our wedding and the fact that I am an American and my wife is Brasilian, it would seem like a nightmare scenario for a DJ.

    Rob (DJ Playground) never batted an eye. He seamlessly transitioned from one set to another and kept all of our guests on the dance floor all night long. He was even willing (for a more-than-worth-it fee) to stay after our agreed upon timeframe and catered to the crowd that was "still standing" at that point in the night. He seemed to always have the pulse of the crowd and both my wife and I got many comments that "that was the best music we have ever heard at a wedding".

    Our wedding planner told me that Rob was "a dream to work with" and always professional. He worked around the intricate timing of the execution of our wedding and adapted on the fly to make sure everything went off without a hitch.



    If you can book Rob for your wedding I would highly recommend it. He is the best of the best.

    We used Playground Productions for our June Canfield Casino Wedding. The reason we chose to use to use Playground Productions was because a friend used them at there wedding where we never left the dance floor! From start to finish they were professional and accommodating. I've been to several weddings in the last few years all over the northeast and very few DJ can keep a dance floor going all night long like Rob did! We received complements from guest of all ages about how great he was!!! We highly recommend him!

    We hired DJ Playground to provide entertainment for the Slider Slam, part of the Wine & Dine for the Arts food festival at the Hotel Albany. He had the dance floor packed all night long and we have already booked him for the same event this coming year.
