Bob worked with us every step of the way. The music he played at our wedding was great. He made changes thru out the night for all age groups we had at our wedding. He was very professional and dedicated to his work. Highly recommend him!
Bob was wonderful! Not only did he take our music wishes into account, but he made suggestions that fit our hopes and needs. Guests commented on how great the music was!! We HIGHLY recommend Bob for anyone looking for the perfect evening.
Bob did a spectacular job suppling great music for our wedding. He kept our guests entertained and they danced all night. We also had last minute adjustments that Bob helped with and the whole night went smoothly.
Bob was amazing to have at our wedding. He was very fun and easy to communicate with! He made sure we knew what was going on and worked with us on some mix ups the venue had with the order of business! He made our wedding so much fun with his music choices. Highly recommend him!!
Bob was great and very communicative with us from the beginning. From the ceremony to the reception Bob did great! Accommodated last minute changes and requests without any issues. We had a fabulous night, so glad we went with him!
Bob was a true professional. His choice in music kept the mood high and the dance floor full. He seamlessly transitioned from our outdoor ceremony to the reception indoors. His attention to detail helped us map out and plan our wedding day. We couldn't have asked for better service. Bob is highly recommended.
Extremely accommodating, knew how to read the crowd, and played a wonderful mix of music. It was clear to us that Bob wanted us to have a good time, and he far exceeded that. Could not have asked for a more perfect night.
Bob Raina was a fabulous DJ for our wedding. He was incredibly easy to communicate with and he kept the party going all night. We had a nice mix of music to get the entire crowd up and moving on the dance floor. Bob recommended we end the night with a closing song of our choice. His recommendation was a big hit, everyone was talking about ending the night on a great song from our college years. Bob did the music for our ceremony and did a fantastic job. Everything went so smoothly and we are so glad we hired him!
Bob is professional and amazing to work with! He made our wedding night truly memorable. We didn't leave the dance floor the entire night! I still have multiple guests reaching out to tell me how much fun they had. I would hire Bob again the next time I get an opportunity!
Bob was a true professional as our wedding DJ. Between the planning process and communication the day of, everything went as seamlessly as possible. He played a good mix of old vs new music, and kept the dance floor going the whole night. Super friendly, would definitely recommend him for any event
Bob did such a wonderful job at our wedding this past weekend! Throughout the entire process he was super friendly, professional, and was easy to work with. At the wedding, the music selection was incredible and really got all of our guests up dancing on the dance floor. Bob also kept the bridal party and family organized and on track throughout the night, which was very helpful! Bob was tons of fun, and we would recommend him for any wedding/event!
We hired Bob to DJ our wedding. I could not have been happier with the services he provided throughout the entire process of planning our wedding, as well as the night of. He was so great with communicating with us, but at the same time allowed us to be flexible with things my wife and I wanted to do throughout the night, but always kept us on a very organized schedule. He had the entire wedding dancing from the second the dance floor opened up, all the way up until the end of our wedding. Amazing music. Tons of people came up to us talking about how great the music selection was. I highly recommend Bob for any DJ service you need.
I can't imagine selecting another DJ. Bob is exactly what you would find as a picture in the dictionary next to the word professional. My wife and I had a number of obscure requests for our wedding, and Bob not only met these requests, he exceeded what we could have even imagined. An incredible playlist from the ceremony to the happy hour to the reception. Kept the dance floor happy and active and people are still talking about how great Bob was! There is truly no need to look anywhere else if you need a DJ for any kind of event. I do not believe there is a better option out there.
Bob was great to work with! We hired him to DJ our wedding in 2020, which then got pushed back to 2021. Every phone call, email, and interaction was very professional, and he made sure that everything went smoothly. Bob talked us through everything he was going to say and do the day of the wedding and kept us in the loop if there were any changes at all. We left the music choice during the reception up to him and he read the room! Everyone had a great time dancing and loved his music selections! He also took some of our interests and played music that was unique to us! I highly recommend him for any of your DJ needs.
We really enjoyed working with Bob from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend him for you wedding or any other event. He puts a lot of care into making your day special and I really appreciate him being part of our wedding.
Bob is the ultimate professional! He was extremely flexible in accommodating our needs for a half indoor and half outdoor event. He valued our opinion and also provided his professional guidance. We could not have asked any more from Bob. Our guests, my wife, and I had an awesome time and we were so sad when the music came to an end. Bob did an awesome job!
Bob was just incredible at our wedding on Saturday! After switching venues to a small backyard wedding he was so accommodating and professional! I was so very happy that he had our guests dancing and really enjoying themselves. He coordinated each event throughout the day so smoothly so we did not have to worry about one thing! He was just perfect!
100% the beat DJ. We were so happy with his service. Very professional and he really takes the time to learn everyone’s names so he’s prepared for the day. I highly highly recommend to use him! Also, all of my guests had great things to say about him as well. Made our day so perfect!
Bob Raina absolutely made our daughter's wedding a huge success. He was professional and very knowledgeable of music. He always responded promptly to emails. He met with me and my husband and my daughter and her fiancee before the wedding and listened to what we wanted and offered alternative music if he didn't feel the selected music would work.He met us at the venue and offered suggestions and advice. He stayed beyond the contracted time because everyone was still dancing. He provided the service
music - processional and recessional - as well as the music for the reception. He never took a break. I recommend him without reservation.
Bob was great! He kept my wedding on track and was extremely professional and well prepared. Everyone complimented him and had a great time. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend DJ Bob Raina highly enough! My husband and I got married on July 6 at the Hotel Northampton (also highly recommended) and Bob was fantastic throughout the entire process. He totally got our style and vibe and built a fantastic playlist based off of the must-have songs that we requested. He made excellent suggestions for the seating music and the mother-son dance when we were having trouble deciding what we wanted. He was fun, professional, and extremely helpful and patient - I sent him many, many emails and he always responded promptly. I also surprised my husband by singing a song at the reception which was a bit of a last minute decision, and again Bob was super helpful with getting me a microphone and preparing the karoake track I used. All of our family and friends had a fabulous time, and a lot of it was due to Bob keeping the party going and knowing just how to read the room for what would be the best party jams, song afte song. We wholeheartedly thank Bob for helping us have the absolute wedding of our dreams!
Our day was Incredible in part to Bob! He was so easy to talk to and plan with by answering my many questions promptly and being flexible with what we wanted. He is so professional and organized out Day flawlessly- we did not have to worry about a thing! Everything from intros, cake cutting, and dancing was organized by him and he made everything run smoothly. All of our guests had so much fun dancing that night to the variety of songs he played- which was a perfect mix of carefully selected requests and songs that went with the vibe of the night! I cannot thank him enough for the best experience!
I have to say, we cannot have been happier with Bob! My husband and I planned our Northampton wedding while living down in DC. He was willing to work with us doing long distance planning right from the beginning. Even though we gave him so little in the way of songs he "must" play, Bob did an amazing job reading the crowd and picking the perfect song selection. People danced right up until the very last song. We got numerous compliments from our guests throughout our reception and after saying what a great DJ we had selected.
I am SO GRATEFUL that Bob was the DJ at our wedding. Not only did he play the best music, he worked with us prior to and during our wedding to make sure everything went smoothly and exactly as we wanted. When we made a last minute decision to wave people onto the dance floor to dance with us during our "first dance", Bob was watching closely, understood right away and got on the microphone to invite people to dance with us. I am convinced that Bob must be the most talented and most classy DJ out there. Hire him to DJ your wedding and then invite us so that we can enjoy a party DJ'd by him all over again.
I believe a DJ can make or break a wedding, so when I got engaged my number 1 priority was to have an amazing DJ. I found that in Bob Raina! We received compliments from friends and family on his music selections all through our reception. People wanted to know who he was, and where we found him. Bob listened to our requests and made sure all of our most important songs were played, and respected our choices. He was a fantastic MC as well. Bob is professional, friendly, accommodating, and most importantly, he is the best DJ you're going to find. You will not go wrong with Bob and I would recommend him to anyone!!
My husband and I can't recommend Bob enough. He is a fantastic MC and had guests of all ages dancing the night away. We didn't have to worry about anything during the reception because Bob organized everything and made sure to go over everything with the entire wedding party.
Bob was also great during the planning process. He gave us detailed instructions, but was always there to answer any questions. We live on the other side of the state so he was always willing to hold our meetings over the phone, which was very convenient.
Bob was wonderful to work with during the wedding planning process. He was extremely organized and very helpful. Bob gave us great suggestions and listened to what we wanted. He kept the dance floor hopping all night long. When my husband and I were dancing, Bob made sure to play all of the songs that we had on our "request" list. He played such great music and had everyone dancing all night long! We highly recommend using Bob, he'll make sure you have a great wedding!
Bob was really awesome! There were some things we wanted in addition and part of our wedding and Bob not only accommodated us, but threw in some suggestions for how to do it and time everything appropriately. He knew how to read the crowd and kept the dance floor filled with our guests for almost 4 hours. Very personable and super friendly and a great DJ!!
Bob was amazing to work with. From the first meeting until the wedding, he helped us with our music decisions and ceremony every step of the way. He kept the wedding on pace and played music that everyone knew and was dancing to. We've heard from a lot of our guests saying that they really enjoyed the atmosphere that Bob provided. We can't thank him enough for the excellent job that he did, we would highly recommend him!
Bob was the best! From the beginning of the planning process he was professional and knowledgeable! He made everything easy for us, and had great recommendations on how to have the best reception! His ideas started the reception with a party atmosphere and flawlessly transitioned through dinner and all of the formal crap! He knew exactly how to cater to the older and younger crowds so that everyone had an enjoyable time! The dance floor was never empty and every request was played! We can’t thank Bob enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
Bob was a wonderful DJ, and was great in terms of "getting our heads in the game" beforehand and helping us think through the flow of our wedding day. We got married at a park and he suggested a scavenger hunt to ensure our guests explored and took advantage of it, which was brilliant! Everyone loved the scavenger hunt and it was a highlight of the day. He worked with us so that our music throughout the day reflected our unique personalities and taste. Highly recommend working with Bob!
We can’t say enough about the amazing job Bob did at our wedding. It was so easy to plan with him and he made sure to bring all of our ideas to life. From the ceremony music to the last song, every second was perfect. Bob is prompt, professional, and friendly and is highly recommended by us. He made sure everyone was on the dance floor through a variety of music and everyone had a blast!
Bob Raina is hands down the best DJ! We just had our wedding on June 2nd and he was awesome! He provided ceremony music,up lighting and music for the reception. The uplighting looked awesome. He felt out the crowd and played different genres of music. Which is good because my dad loves those oldies and bob definitely nailed them. Everyone had so much fun. My dad even danced the whole night which is a huge shock because my dad hates to dance haha! We received so many compliments about bob throughout the night. One of our guests said “every song that I would want to hear at a wedding your Dj played” he also made sure to go over every detail for our day and everything went so smoothly. I would recommend bob to everyone for weddings or event. I will definitely be using bob in the future and I hope everyone else does to because I’m telling you he’s one of a kind. Thank you again so much for making our wedding a night to remember!
My wife and I are so glad that we picked Bob as our wedding DJ. He was such a pro throughout the process, from the initial meeting, to the details meeting, to the wedding itself. Of all of our vendors, Bob was one of the most well-prepared and was quick to respond to our e-mails. Highly recommended!
Bob was easy-going, very professional, and a pleasure to work with. People were on the dancefloor all night, and he even played a few extras at the end to keep the party going. He helped coordinate entrances and made sure everything was on schedule. Highly recommend!
From start to finish Bob was professional and helpful. He met with us and had times after our normal work hours to meet and go over wedding/DJ details. He played all the songs we requested and we're important to us and was sure to avoid the songs on our "no go" list ( as my bridesmaid was adamant on the chicken dance and I was dead set against it ). He was so helpful with the timeline of events making sure it worked for us and our venue. The night went so smooth. He pronounced my maid of honor's polish last name perfectly (these things definitely matter). Cannot say enough good things. Affordable and you get more than your money's worth. Would absolutely recommend.
Bob is one of the best DJ’s my wife and I have ever met. Bob’s experience cannot be overstated. He is a true professional from the first day you meet him right up to the day of the wedding. It was great to have Bob who was both reliable and thorough in his preparation during the busy month leading up to the wedding. My wife and I enjoy listening to a lot of music and requested Bob play some less traditional music during our ceremony. Bob was very receptive to our requests, while providing suggestions from his experience DJ’ing hundreds of weddings in the past. The day of the wedding Bob crushed all the music. He had our unique ceremony go off without a hitch, our families loved the Italian music during dinner, and our friends danced late into the night. We will suggest Bob to anyone and everyone in the future. Thanks for being an awesome DJ Bob!!
Bob did such a great job at our wedding! He accommodated our requests and gave great suggestions when we weren't sure what to do. He also really helped us figure out the timeline for the evening and all of the little details that made me feel much more relaxed. We looked very professional at our event and was unobtrusive but got everybody partying!
Bob Raina did an amazing job at our wedding! He played all the songs we requested and played songs that went above and beyond expectation! All the guests absolutely loved him and he definitely made the reception a party to remember. I highly highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ to make their wedding day special!
Bob Raina was fantastic, he definitely knows what he is doing! We didn't have anything to worry about on our wedding day! I would highly recommend him!
Bob was fantastic, not only organized himself, but managed to organize us as well! I've never been to a wedding where the dance floor was so well-utilized. But if I had to pick a single adjective, it would be "professional" by a landslide.
Bob is a great DJ. From the initial outreach though the day of our wedding, he was very easy to get in touch with and very responsive. He took the time to help us pick out the perfect music for our ceremony and incorporated some special requests from us for our cocktail hour and dinner music. In addition, Bob was a great emcee - he helped us transition from one event to the next in such a way that we never felt rushed or worried about keeping to a schedule. Best of all, he kept our dance floor packed all night! He played the right music at the right time to keep our guests dancing. We got nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests about how much fun the dancing was. We got exactly what we hoped for in a DJ, and are really happy we chose Bob Raina.
My husband and I were skeptical about whether we even wanted a DJ at our wedding: we were all but set on renting some powerful speakers and setting up our own playlists. However, we are so glad that we went with Bob. He made the evening run more smoothly, facilitated toasts, and reacted to the crowd in a way that kept the energy high on the dance floor. Anyone who is considering whether or not to use a DJ for their wedding, I would STRONGLY encourage you to have a conversation with Bob Raina.
Bob was Absolutely Great! After witnessing some lack luster DJ's and convinced that we would never use a DJ at our own wedding, we meet Bob while taking part in a close friends wedding and were really impressed. Upon doing our own wedding planning we immediately booked Bob, and could not be happier that we did! Throughout the whole process Bob kept in constant contact making sure that all the details were in place. We meet with Bob a month before our wedding to go over specifics, from that meeting we came up with a songs list based on our personal style and reviewed the pronunciation of everyone's name so there would be no mistakes.
On the wedding day Bob got to the site early and got set up for both our ceremony and reception. He coordinated great wit the other vendors and the whole event went off without a hitch. Our ceremony was perfectly timed and the music was excellent.
Bob really took charge of reception, he meet with the wedding party to go over the order of the evening and kept the whole night flowing. Our music was the very best, our guests all commented on how great Bob was and we could not have been happier with the whole experience.
Four months later we are still getting comments on how great the music was at our wedding. We have and will continue to recommend Bob to all of our friends, families, and strangers.Bottom Line If you are looking for a great professional DJ Bob is your guy!
I emailed back and forth with a few DJs because I had no idea what I was looking for, but I knew as soon as I walked into his office that he was the DJ for us. He was professional yet friendly and honored ask of our numerous special requests, including our "no play list". I don't plan on getting married again but if I ever need a DJ Bob is the one for us. Everyone at our wedding commented on how much fun it was and how he kept everything going with the perfect choice of music to appeal to everyone. There's really nothing I can say except that Bob Raina is the best!
We got married on August 6th, and we wanted our reception to be fun, energetic and cater to the wide range of ages and personalities in attendance. Bob provided us everything we wanted! Our guests kept commenting on how entertaining and professional he was! We highly recommend Bob to DJ any event you have!
We got married on June 28 and our guests are still commenting on how fabulous our DJ Bob Raina was to this day! Even before the wedding, he was patient and diligent and really got to know us as a couple. He cared about what kind of experience we wanted and catered his music to our taste. He is a seasoned wedding DJ and knows exactly how to throw a great party - our dance floor was not empty for one song. From our introductions, to our toasts and special dances, everything flowed so perfectly and there was not one moment we would change. I was hoping for a DJ with remotely the talent of Bob and he surpassed our greatest expectations! I would recommend his services wholeheartedly.
Bob Raina is an incredible disc jockey. He took the time to meet us and get to know us, which helped him understand our vision for our special day. We met several times as we planned our event, and he was able to meet our every need. He offered his suggestions and made valuable contributions to the social hour, dinner and reception that we would not have considered otherwise. He worked in a new venue and took the time to arrive extra early to insure that all was set up properly and without complications. Our guests have continued to comment on how great the music was – and how they have never danced so much at a wedding before. He is able to read the crowd and play music to keep them on the dance floor. He also was able to take our special requests and even change things up at the last minute. He is professional, dedicated and far exceeded our expectations. I wish we had more parties that we could utilize his services for! We recommend Bob without reservations and insure that any event, any crowd – he will get them out there dancing.
My Husband Eric and I booked Bob Raina to DJ our wedding this past June and we are extremely happy with our decision! From our fist meeting with Bob to the end of our reception he proved to be very professional, knowledgeable, fun and pleasant. Bob did a fantastic job making sure our entire event went as planned which allowed for a very smooth flowing, stress free evening. Bob made sure he included all of our requested songs and was also very creative and able to "read the crowd" so there was never a dull moment! Everyone at our wedding was out on the dance floor having a great time, thanks to Bob! He was very articulate, pronounced all of our wedding party's names right, and played all the music at an appropriate volume so that you could still dance and have fun, but also be able to talk to and hear the person next to you. Bob was very flexible and always available to meet in person, via email, or over the phone. I would most definitely recommend Bob Raina to future bride and grooms and I would absolutely book him again in a heart beat!
I can't say enough about Bob Raina. He was absolutely fabulous! Every one of my guests commented on the music. Bob is extremely professional and found the perfect mix of music to keep people dancing and enjoying themselves. The introductions were upbeat and fun and Bob kept the music at the perfect loudness level to allow for conversation and dancing. I highly recommend Bob!
I can't say enough good or awesome things about Bob Raina, and it seems as though everyone else is in the same boat:)
Your DJ is so much more than your Dance Floor Director. Your DJ is the master of ceremonies-- he/she should be trusted to control the flow of your wedding reception. We rested easier knowing that Bob was our guy behind the curtain.
We found Bob Raina after almost every vendor we had met with recommended him--his professional yet fun nature and his uncanny ability to keep people on the dance floor have earned him a shining reputation in the wedding business. He put us right at ease--no gimmicks, no pressure; and it was ultimately Bob who put my busy mind to rest after walking me through the structure of the reception on our last meeting. He took a genuine interest in our journey, and he was available whenever we needed him--even to make some last minute changes to our intro song:)
As for the wedding reception, it was amazing--and largely due to Bob's fantastic work. A reception truly has a busy schedule--Bob made it feel easy, transitioning with grace and great energy from one thing to the next. We never felt a moment of confusion or hesitation. After dinner, and when most of the other 'deeds' were done, the dance floor was open for business--and believe me, Bob can read a crowd like no other. It was the best dance party ever! Thank you so much, Bob, for your time and attention, for your amazing talent, and for making our wedding reception so very memorable!
Bob Raina is a FABULOUS and professional DJ. He really helps make the wedding a spectacular event. Everyone danced the night away. He kept in touch with myself and the groom throughout the night to ensure we were having fun and enjoyed the music being played (even as most of the attendants were on the dance floor). He was easy to work with and really knows how to get the party going with little direction from us! Would totally use him again!! highly recommend him!
Bob is a wonderful DJ. He has a great sense of how to pace a wedding reception and make sure everyone enjoys the party. His introductions are professional and tasteful. He also knows how to keep the sound level at that perfect point where folks can enjoy the dance floor but those who want to talk can actually hear each other. This is the first wedding I have been to in years where I was not hoarse by the end of the night. They had to kick us out- everyone stayed dancing until the last dance. I had many compliments about our DJ after the wedding, he made the wedding a great party! I cannot recommend Bob highly enough!
Bob told me that he has Disc Jockeyed for over 1,000 weddings. He is professional, organized, and has a great ear for music. He listens to his clients BUT he is honest about what will/will not get people on the dance floor. He is respectful and communicates with the bride and groom throughout the wedding. He gets everyone on the dance floor, and is very responsive to the atmosphere of the party.
I had many people of all ages tell me how much they liked the music.
Bob Raina was a GREAT dj. I got many compliments on the day of the wedding that the music was great. He really tailors the music to your taste and assess the crowd with great acuity to discern their needs in the moment! He charged a flat rate and even stayed a little late as the party was not yet ready to be over. I can't thank him enough for that! He also stayed true to our "dont play list"! A dj can really make or break your party...bob kept the party magical all night long.
Bob did a fabulous job - he played all the songs we requested, plus mixed in a few others. He had good suggestions for our ceremony and was always responsive to e-mails and phone contact. He was a little expensive, but then the performance was perfect so I would rather pay a little more and have it be fabulous!
Very easy to work with, down to earth and professional.
He has EVERY type of music. He didn't have the song we wanted to xcoem into our recpetion too (it was a very bizarre choice) and he searched all over and found a copy it it! He was easy to work with, responsive, and aided us with our slideshow presentation by use of his sound system! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!;I can not think of one bad thing!! He was great!
We need two stytems.. one for the cermony and one for the receptions. And we also had a hard time finding a certain song. We worked until he found that song that we wanted. He also spent alot of time going over the whole day to make sure he had everytthing we wanted for the wedding
