DJ Prime did such an amazing job. My wedding was on 9/21 and guests are still talking about how great my wedding was and how good the music was the entire night. He allowed for me ...
to make a playlist of some of the songs I wanted him to play and added on to that list. He really had the party going. Everyone has been raving about how good the music was. I truly feel like the music is what makes or breaks a wedding and he did not fail me. We had guests from 3 years old to 80 years old and they were all on the dance floor having a great time. He also provided me with the dancing on clouds effect and a 360 camera. So it was a one stop shop with him. If you’re lucky he might even jump out on the dance floor and do a little break dance. If you’re looking for a great time DJ prime is your guy.
Robert was amazing and did everything perfectly! I would recommend him to everyone getting married!
Robert was so fun and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. He respected our budget, and was flexible when it rained all day on our wedding. He was very organized on wed...
ding day and coordinated with our planner, but more importantly, he was a HUGE hit with our guests! The song progression and transitions between songs through the reception were so fun that my new husband literally ripped his pants... Rob had a breakdance moment of his own (no ripped pants), which was also a fun surprise! I also made a special note to him to surprise them and play my parents' first dance, which he did, and it was one of my favorite moments of the night.
He was phenomenal!! Prompt, kind, fun, great communication, I can go on and on! Our guests have already said they’ll be hiring him for future events! He got on the dance floor and ...
danced his heart out with us! He made everyone smile and cheer him on with his moves!! I also rented the photobooth from him and it was a HUGE hit as well! The attendant was awesome and made sure everyone put their photos in our guest book! Robert also did our uplighting and ceremony and it all went perfectly! He was open to requests and the moment we asked he delivered. I’d pick Robert ward a million times over!! 10/10!!
DJ PRIME hosted my best friend's wedding last weekend, and he did not disappoint! Throughout the entire process, he was professional, responsive, flexible, and very accommodating! ...
He brought a lapel for the bishop to use during the ceremony, and even brought additional mics just in case someone else needed one. During the reception, he kept it classy by playing the appropriate music for the guests and had us jamming to the CHA CHA SLIDE and other tunes! He even collaborated with the LIVE singer without notice, and made adjustments to last minute changes to the timeline seamlessly! THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!! I look forward to working with you again!
Robert was so much fun to work with for our wedding. He was super responsive in emails and texts and he really came out to bring the party. He really got our vibe from the song sel...
ections we sent him. The songs he picked were FIRE. We had loads of compliments and it really felt like there was something played for everyone. To top it off he came out from behind the DJ booth to breakdance with the wedding guests.
Great DJ all around with good communication and had everyone on the dance floor. My only negative is that I sent a full playlist of everything....and the day of he said he didn't k...
now how to really mix the Korean songs I selected. I would have liked them to be listened to beforehand, so he had an idea. Other than that it was a nice day
Robert was amazing during our wedding. His timing and transitions during the ceremony were flawless and even with an unexpected situation he was able to quickly adapt and go with t...
he flow. His equipment were top-notch and he provided wireless mics so that we wouldn't have to deal with any cables. He even joined us once to bust out his dance moves (actually so good). Even before the wedding, Robert was always very quick to respond to emails and he made a 3 hour drive to attend our vendor walk-through of the venue. He was also very generous and willing to work with our budget. We have no complaints and would definitely recommend him!
Robert is THE MAN! Great communication from Day 1, was willing to help us find a photographer and videographer and to top it off, he is an AMAZING DJ! He even got out there on the ...
floor and danced with us all during our ceremony. Extremely professional, great DJ, and flat out awesome guy. Thanks Robert for making our special day that much more special. Would recommend Prime 1 Productions to everyone!!!
Look no further for a DJ! Robert is the best DJ you will ever use! He was friendly, great with communication and had the party dancing all night. He even started breakdancing as a ...
fun treat! Thank you for being part of my big day and being such a professional
We loved working with Robert for our wedding on 8/17/2019. He helped make our wedding absolutely perfect by keeping the party alive throughout the entire event (reading the crowd a...
nd mixing up the music as needed). I especially appreciated his quick responses to emails/texts and thoughtfulness throughout our big day, double checking that we were on time and following the outlined timetable of events. He even worked with me on a list of some of our favorite and suggested song preferences. He engaged with our guests, wowing them with some break dancing and also took some nice videos! He’s also very reasonable with his pricing. We highly recommend working with Robert at your next event!
Our DJ Robert was terrific! Punctual, respectful, and above all, great music. He was able to blend Indian and American music perfectly, which was very important to us. All in all, ...
we couldn't have asked for a better experience. People were on the dance floor all night and did not want to stop when the venue finally kicked us out!
DJ Rob is the real deal! Me and my wife have been married for 10 days now and we still feel that one of the best aspects of our beautiful wedding was the DJ. We interviewed a handf...
ul of potential DJs last year and once we got to DJ Rob, we got rid of the previous ones. This brother is on point folks. He is very accessible! He always made time to talk to me and my wife over the course of our wedding planning. He was very respectful and professional. We loved the fact that he formed a great bond with us both and wanted to make sure that both of our wants and needs for music and entertainment was fulfilled. We were so impressed with him that we even asked that he MC our wedding and reception. He did an amazing job. We felt that having him makes our weddings one of the best in 2019 hands down. He reads the crowds very well; he knows when to give a break; the transitions are on-point (that was a big deal for us) and the man come out and did some break dancing (YES - he came from behind his booth and was break dancing). And when we put together our processional and music list, he was open to walking through it and hearing what we wanted. He was on time and he made sure everything went smoothly. Great guy; great DJ; great man. We will definitely recommend you book him for your wedding, birthday party, bar mitzvah, etc. Even for corporate events he would fit in nice. And he is worth every penny - we did not feel his services were over priced. He’s on our favorite vendor list moving forward if we ever need a DJ. After you read this, don’t go looking at other DJ’s - hit up prime productions.
DJ Prime1 made my big day as special as ever! He is very professional, punctual, and personable. We had several conversations before the wedding date. I mentioned to him the songs ...
I wanted during my ceremony and he found each of them. The ceremony was flawless. I had an outdoor wedding. The quality of the sound that he provided was very crisp and clean. He turned up the night with providing a hot set during my reception. We were on the dance floor all night! He brings lights with him so it feels like a club atmosphere. I highly recommend DJ Prime 1. I will definitely be booking him for future events and recommending him to friends and family. DJ Prime 1 thank you so much for making my big day awesome. Good luck at your next events.
My wife and I initially did not intend to have a DJ at our wedding, as it was a small, intimate event. While looking for a Karaoke machine rental, I came across DJ Prime. After tel...
ling him about the event, and my concerns that a DJ may not be necessary for us, he reassured me that he was adaptable, and could entertain almost any crowd. I am SO glad that I came around and decided to book DJ Prime for my wedding. He gave me the EXACT service that a wedding like ours needed- he entertained the crowd during dinner, helped us play the shoe game, and facilitated karaoke later in the night to great success. He was timely professional, and courteous. Furthermore, Prime helped us decide on a package that met our needs and price range. I cannot stress how thankful I am that DJ Prime reached out to us and aided in making our wedding a memorable, wonderful experience. Many of the guests would tell me later "The DJ at the Wedding was so good!" I would recommend him in an instant to anyone seeking entertainment for a wedding or other event that requires musical entertainment, and if I were to re-do anything I would start by booking DJ Prime from the beginning!
Robert was extremely responsive to our needs and patient with my indecisiveness. He's a lovely young man and really helped make our reception a true celebration!
Excellent service
Prime 1 Productions was wonderful in our wedding ceremony and reception. Very professional and a wonderful DJ! Robert has a hype person that took everyone to the ...

Robert (DJ Optimus Prime) was so wonderful. We found him through the Internet, and are so glad we did! From the first phone call, our personalities clicked. He understood exactly t...
he kind of party we wanted, and he delivered. He was easy to communicate with via email, text and phone, and had a clear timeline for us to deliver our list of songs. At the wedding, he brought the party and even breakdanced!!! He was such a good DJ -- made us feel comfortable and was clearly so talented. Definitely not just a guy who hits play and stands there. So dynamic and perfect for any wedding. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
Robert was our DJ, and the best ever. He worked with me every step of the way. Very entertaining and personable.
Amazing ! Kept everyone on the dance floor
Robert arrived promptly the day of the event and nailed every part of his job. Leading up to the event any question I had he would answer within minutes through email. He was the e...
asiest vendor I hired to correspond with! Robert did every single thing I asked for! All any of my guests were talking about was Dj Prime! At one point of the evening I was at the bar and I heard my wedding guests going wild. He was break dancing and killing it!!!!!! Weddings are stressful but he made it a complete party. The dance floor was never empty !!! If I ever had any other type of party he’s the only man for the job..ever! I cannot say enough about this dj, he’s polite and super friendly. My Husband let me pick the dj and the day of the event he turned to me with a huge smile and said “ He was worth every single penny!” Robert was also very reasonably priced. He stayed within my wedding budget and was so easy to work with. Robert provided uplighting which was insanely awesome !!!! He kindly did the music for my ceremony too, which he did perfectly ! When the doors opened for my arrival, the song was at the most explosive perfect point. He knows his music and he knows how to appease to a large group of people, young and old. My guests did not stop dancing and my feet hurt in the best way the next day. You will not regret hiring him!
DJ prime was amazing! He seamlessly followed our wedding timeline and played every song that we requested. The guests had a great time and danced the night away. Throughout the who...

Thanks a million

nute song change requests), very responsive, and prompt as well. I had guests who were very impressed with my choice of DJ and some of my guests who recently got engaged even asked for his information so he can do their weddings too. You won't regret hiring DJ Prime!
DJ Prime one did an excellent job on our wedding in October. We gave him and overall music vibe we wanted to have and he more than handled the challenge. With me being from Califor...
nia and my husband from Maryland, there were two different musical themes we wanted to capture and DJ Prime did not let us down. He kept the party going until the very end!!
He also hooked us up with a fantastic photographer Andrea. She was so professional and was able to get all of the shots that we wanted in the time that we needed. She provided experience and expertise within every pose and shot. She was creative and got shots we were not even thinking of. For post production she gave us pictures that were rich in color and clarity. We really appreciated both being a part of our special day. We will never forget it.
We had the pleasure to work an event with Robert and we were blown away. He was kind, fun, and super great to work with. Hi courtesy is one-of-a-kind and we would be honored to wor...

I used Robert for my wedding on 11/11/2018. He was amazing, his level of professionalism is unmatched. He was very quick to answer any of my question no matter what time of day or ...
night. He kept the party going by any means necessary, even if that meant him getting out on the floor himself and break dancing lol. I would definitely recommend him!
Robert was great! He played everything we asked for, brought an extra speaker and microphone for the ceremony and arrived about an hour and a half early to set up. He always respon...
ded quickly and made sure to have the specific live version of our first dance song that we requested. He also showed off his dance moves at one point during the night, which our guests loved. We highly recommend him!
We were in a tight spot and Robert saved the day! Called him hours before the wedding as the original DJ canceled on us. He was there earlier than needed, was set up, and literally...
rocked the wedding and reception with no delay.
It was a blessing that our orginial DJ canceled as Robert was named the wedding’s MVP by the wedding party. Best part...bride and Groom were none the wiser.
Everything about Bob is awesome, he communicates well and was great with being flexible to last-minute changes on the day of. And the kids at our wedding LOVED him. He was so frien...
dly and danced with them all which blew their minds, and he played music that everyone felt they could dance to.
He was great and entertaining! The guest loved him!!
DJ Prime was great. Kept the music spinning all night with new hits and classic oldies. He catered to both my wife and my music preferences (she likes Latin music- salsa, merengue,...
bachata, and I like hip-hop, old school, funk, soul). He even came out and danced with us during an old school set. If my wife or I wanted to here a specific song or genre, he instantly catered to our requests. I would highly recommend DJ Prime for your event.
There’s so much to worry about when planning a wedding so the last thing you want to worry about is your vendors. Robert was so attentive to all of our needs. He kept in constant c...
ommunication with us making sure he clearly understood and delivered our vision which, as a bride, makes you feel as though you are in good hands. On the actual day of, it was raining and I was pretty sad since we were planning an outdoor wedding but Robert checked up on us to ensure we were ok and to reassure us that everything would work out. And boy oh boy was he right. The wedding was perfect. Robert arrived early to set up and go over last minute details and rain changes and then he rocked the house all night long. Everyone danced all night and we even got a special break dancing set from the dj himself which my guest loved. It was a Sunday wedding but from the way Robert had my guest partying you would never had known Monday was the next day. It’s not often you find a vendor that delivers a personal touch to his work and makes you feel like they truly care about making your big day special. Robert did just that. Hire him. You won’t regret it. Thanks for everything Robert!!

DJ Prime was the perfect choice for our wedding. He knew just what to play to keep everyone dancing and even danced a little himself. He was very professional and coordinated with ...
the caterer and photographer to keep the reception running smoothly. I highly recommend him for anyone's wedding, no matter the vibe.
This DJ is fabulous! So many good things to say I have to put them in order: 1) Our daughter & her fiance were in charge of finding a DJ. Out of everyone she talked to Robert was t...
he most professional, courteous & prompt with responses when she was trying to book. She enjoyed talking with him and instantly liked him. 2) Booking him, signing contract & making deposit was effortless 3) He kept in touch after signing and obtained a list of songs she especially liked & an order of reception 4) Day of he showed up promptly, set up quickly. Very personable & genuine; made an effort to meet our whole family. Bride's sisters really liked talking to him & he made them feel comfortable on a day that had been somewhat stressful. 5) In spite of some "backstage" snafus, Robert took over, handled the reception with aplomb. Guests never knew I didn't necessarily have it all together; he had everything running smoothly. 6) He coordinated with caterer very well; they had a most positive experience with him making sure guests knew when cocktail hour was over, dinner served, cake being cut, etc. 7) Everybody had fun! We had an odd mix of frat boys & us old folks ; ) He kept the party going, mixed it up with the playlist. Everyone that wanted to dance had an opportunity to as he skillfully interwove music from different genres & eras to supplement the basic playlist our daughter had given him. 8) Robert is a talented dancer as well; he danced a couple of times but was conscious of not taking the spotlight away from the couple. The guests really enjoyed it and I personally would have encouraged him to dance even more, but then again all of our daughters have been involved in dance and I could watch someone perform all day!
We have other daughters and when they get married I will definitely call Robert first to see if he is available; would re-book him in a heartbeat. He stays very busy and his fees are reasonable; don't wait to book Prime 1 Productions- you won't be disappointed!
I hired Robert for my wedding on July 27th. He was extremely patient and understanding with my wife and I during the process knowing how stressed we were with all other things. Whe...
n we arrived at our reception his set up was very clean and classy. Sound was at perfect volume all microphones worked great. The uplighting was ridiculously amazing and placed perfectly at the venue. I strongly recommend Robert to all who read, friends and family getting married.
Robert (DJ Prime) was so personable and friendly. He kept open communication the whole year prior to my wedding and dealt with my million specific requests and updated song lists! ...
Very professional. He did a great job at my wedding just yesterday 7-13-18. Everyone loved the music and the dance floor was one big dance party! Thank you for the great service :)
