Bob was fantastic! Everyone at our wedding commented on how nice he was, how professional, how great the song selection was and how much they enjoyed the music! Thank you electric blue for making our wedding wonderful! Kelly & Bob
Bob was the best! He really knows how to get the party started! Highly recommend!
Bob was very easy to work with and very responsive during our communications. We threw him a few curveballs with some traffic because of the st Patrick’s day parade and he had to hoof it up a very narrow stairwell to get to the dj booth but took it all in stride and was great.
Any questions?
Electric blue provided services for my wedding. We used bob as our DJ. Bob was very responsive, answered all of our questions and provided us with a long list of song suggestions that gets the guests dancing. Our guests were on the dance floor from start to finish.
DJ Justin came to our wedding and did a fantastic job! We provided a small list of requests and gave an idea of the music we love to hear and he hit the nail on the head. Everyone said to us how awesome the DJ was after the wedding. To take a complete chance on a DJ that we didn’t know, we were more than impressed by how he adapted to our small family wedding and had everyone on the dance floor! Thank you so much! Anthony and Grace
They were so professional and flexible. They helped run our reception and provided audio for the ceremony.
So helpful and did a great job with all the details.
Our originally booked DJ, Justin, bailed on us a couple months before the wedding so he was replaced with Mark also from Electric Blue. We had spoken to mark prior, provided a timeline of events, a list of songs that guests had requested along with songs we’d like to hear well in advance just for him to play almost none of them.
The cocktail hour was a mess, we couldn’t hear any of the music with his tiny speaker and when we made our speech, and re read our vows the microphone he provided didn’t even work and couldn’t turn up the sound. We had to yell instead. So embarrassing.
There were huge pauses between everything and the listing of first dance and parent dances had the amount of time listed to play it just for my husband and I to awkwardly stand in front of everyone waiting for our first dance song to start. He then called parents dances incorrectly just for my mother and I to again, awkwardly stand there for multiple minutes waiting for the song to start just to tell me the song “wasn’t downloaded” and called me to his table to tell me this. Then when it did start to play, the timing was all wrong and I kept having to tell him to stop a song or yell to him.
The only guest requested songs (from the rsvp) that were played were ones guests had to go up again and ask for. He also announced to “make sure the bride liked the song” before requesting which makes me look like the bad guy. I literally provided a list of do not play and truly made it as simple as possible just to be ignored.
It was so unprofessional and made me so sad that my husband and I got to finally celebrate our wedding after 3 postponements due to COVID just for us to get a second rate DJ who was incredibly unprofessional and couldn’t even do the simple task of playing songs we had asked for well in advance including guest requests.
We used Electric Blue DJ Service for our wedding and would highly recommend them! Bob was so easy to work with, did a fantastic job and kept the dance floor going the entire night as requested. Our guests are still raving about how great he was. He was always very quick to respond to our emails and very flexible. We truly had the time of our lives and are so thankful!
We hired Electric Blue DJ & Bob the day we met with him. We met with no other DJs and felt no need to. Throughout this crazy 2020 year, Bob remained hopeful with us and allowed us to have an amazing wedding while still being safe. He was always prompt to answer any questions we had, made adjustments for us on the fly, played any songs we wanted to, reassured us when needed and created an atmosphere of fun and joy for us. We will be recommending Electric Blue to anyone and everyone we possibly can! Thank you so much!!
Bob was amazing! He was attentive and friendly from the beginning through the whole event. He played all our listed songs and was great at selecting options for the flow of the evening. We were able to dance and enjoy the night away. He took care to keep us on the timeline and to ask if certain things could be approved (I did not want some artists but guests did). Bob was great and will make your wedding one to remember! So much fun!
Great dj, has done multiple family functions. Even with the no dancing restrictions at my wedding played great music all night long. Playing the shoe game is a must!!!!!!
Electric blue DJ did an amazing job at my wedding this September! Having a wedding during Covid was hard enough but Bob was all prepared and made everything run smoothly! He had plastic wraps for the microphones, which was perfect because my father, aunt, brother and I all sang at the wedding. He worked great with all of us. He also had guests text him for requests to help with social distancing. I would definitely recommend them.
Disappointed with this company, we put a deposit down for our October wedding but unfortunately had to cancel given the pandemic we’re in. We never asked for a refund but reached out multiple times to make sure they knew we weren’t moving forward with October and maybe could move our deposit to a future date. Contacted them via email and here with no reason and it’s been well over a month. Very unfortunate
Electric Blue DJ, DJ’d our wedding this past September! They were wonderful to work with and truly captured the party essence we wanted! The music selection was awesome and they kept the party going from start to finish! We can’t thank them enough for the role they played in making out wedding reception a night to remember! We can’t wait to dance the night away with them again at future events!

Shane & Stephen,
I'm so glad you enjoyed eBlueDJ. We always have a blast entertaining couples & their guests. Thank you for having us be a part of your Big Day!
Cheers,
Electric Blue is who everyone needs to book for their event! He does a really good job keeping the floor moving. He recommends songs before the wedding for each little part of the wedding that we didn't even really think about! He has good attention to detail, he's easy to get along with, really nice, and he works to make sure the couple is happy with their event. He sticks really close to the "do not play" list too so you don't have to worry about any songs you don't want played coming up. We would highly recommend him!
I would recommend Electric Blue DJ Service for any of your entertainment needs. Bob was very professional and easy to work with. The dance floor was hopping all night long.
Bob and Mark were great to work with. Mark did an amazing job dj’ing our wedding. Played every song we asked for and got people on the dance floor. Our families are low energy, so it was a bit of a challenge to begin with, but Mark made it happen. Would highly recommend hiring them for any event.
Electric Blue was very professional and provided a wonderful evening of music at our daughter’s wedding. Bob’s upbeat attitude set the tone for making the evening perfect. The dance floor was never empty, and everyone had a great time. The music flowed seamlessly from the time we arrived to when the last guest left. Will definitely recommend Bob and Electric Blue. You will not be disappointed!
Bob Hawley at Electric Blue DJ Service threw us a great party for our wedding! The dance floor was constantly full of people and everyone had a blast. He played a variety of fun and upbeat music throughout the night. He also catered to all of our specific request for the ceremony music. Electric Blue supplies lighting and fun effects. I highly recommend this team of DJ's.
I love Electric Blue DJ Service so much that the date of my wedding was planned around their availability. The DJ played all the right music and helped to make song choices for the big event. I would highly recommend them and excited my brother is also using them for his wedding.
The best

I have been DJing for over 30 years; I was the DJ at the Skate Factory, a roller skating rink, the day it opened for 10 years located just outside of Hudson, NY. I’ve owned and operated Electric Blue DJ Service since 1997. Electric Blue DJ Service has been providing music for weddings, parties, school dances, corporate events and many other events and venues with professional and very affordable services. With thousands of satisfied customers, Electric Blue DJ Service knows how to read the crowd and provide all types of music for all ages.
I got into DJing years ago because I love music and I mean all music; Rock, Classical, Jazz, Country, Rap, Hip-Hop; you name it, I enjoy it all. Remember 45’s and LP’s? I used to buy tons, shortly I had a massive collection and thought more than just myself should enjoy this music as I love seeing how people react to music it’s almost electric and so began a journey to where I am now.
I started playing music for family and friends at parties with Technics turntables and my home stereo equipment for nothing. Although I say “nothing” meaning no pay, what I did get, was a priceless amount of experience. I have paved my way finding out what does and doesn’t work to keep people entertained, dancing and having a great time.
Now I have expanded, I still buy a ton of music in CD format and very rarely from the internet, I like the album art and something tangible that shows I actually own the music. I also subscribe to professional DJ music services only available to DJ’s and radio stations and get my music just as fast as the radio stations do. I usually own the music before it’s popular. I am now teaching other DJ’s my passion and skills for the love of music and how to make a great event ELECTRIC. Hope you get a chance to PLUG US IN…!!!
