Bobby did a phenomenal job at our wedding! His transitions between songs and reception events made everything flow so smooth. Great communication through out the entire process from booking to day of the wedding. I could not have asked for a better DJ, he kept the crowd engaged and the reception lively. I would 100% recommend Bobby to anyone!!!

Bobby did a great job keeping the schedule on time and the dance floor hopping! He is very professional and also reasonably priced for the area. I’m so glad we chose him to DJ our daughter’s wedding.

If you're looking for the kind of DJ who doesn’t just play music but creates an experience — look no further than Bobby- DJ MakeEmDance!! From the very first beat, it was clear we ...
were in for something special. His set was a masterclass in energy, flow, and crowd connection.
Whether it was throwing down high-octane tracks that had everyone jumping or seamlessly transitioning into smooth, soulful grooves that made the entire room sway, he knew exactly how to read the crowd and elevate the vibe.
The sound was flawless, the transitions were tight, and the song choices? Spot-on. He chose music that fit us perfectly. You could tell every track was chosen with intention — nothing felt random.
People didn’t want to leave the dance floor — and honestly, neither did we. He helped turn our wedding night into a memory we’ll be talking about for a long time.
Bottom line: Book DJ MakeEmDance. Thank us later!

, and he cranked it up to an eleven. He was so professional, timely, and gave the party exactly what they wanted!! Ethan and I both came from working in the wedding industry, so we have seen a dance floor or two in our days, but man this one was better than anything we have ever seen. He made our entrances specatacular, helped with coordinating when needed, and his equipment was top notch. We couldn't have been any happier with our choice. If you want to have a blast at your wedding or any event, book DJ Bobby!

He was super easy to communicate with and always got back to me within 24 hours, and also made sure to schedule a phone call to go over details a few weeks before the wedding. When we gave him general vibes for the music we wanted him to play during ceremony and reception down time, he picked the perfect music for it all. I would highly recommend him for any and all of your DJ and MC needs--he helped us make our wedding a night we will never forget. Thank you Bobby!!!

We had a WONDERFUL time at our wedding with Bobby! He is a true professional and took so much off my plate to worry about in terms of timing, announcements, ect. He allowed us the ...
option of selecting reception music but we turned that over to him to select with a vague “we want everyone to dance” and “think 2016 house party.” He did NOT disappoint!!! Everyone from our younger nieces and nephews to my 80 year old grandfather danced the night away!! He read the crowd and how they were responding to music and made changes on the fly to keep our guests energetic, happy, and on the dance floor! We opted to add on his photo booth & LOVE getting access to all of our loved ones goofy photos! I cannot recommend him enough for your special day!!!!

Not only did he work with us with our out of the norm set up; we had 3 different areas for our wedding day which meant he had to have 3 different set ups in each area, we were worried about this but there was no need to worry because it went so perfectly!! It was such a seamless process as he already has a packet you fill out for the important songs and also your must play or do not play song lists. And he has super fun extras you can add onto your package, we added the photo booth and it was such a huge hit!!! So glad we hired Bobby for our wedding, he is awesome!!!!
