Rock N Robin was absolutely phenominal! Let's just say, we spent thousands and thousands of dollars on our wedding, and Brian from Rock N Robin was by far the best money we spent (well, besides the honeymoon :)). First of all Robin, the owner, spent over an hour with us on the phone asking questions and getting to know us (since we couldn't meet in person because we lived so far away). He gave us some GREAT advice and helped us create an agenda for our reception that really took a load off of me as the bride. Robin assured us that Brian, the DJ, would be great and would really get the party going. And I just can't say enough good things about Brian. From the moment we pulled up to our reception, Brian was there, telling us where to go and what to do (in a good way). He coordinated the whole thing. And not to mention he played amazing fun music and really was the life of the party. He acted as if he were our best friend. Always there, making sure we were ok. I just loved him!!! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend these guys! WAY worth the money.

We had Robin DJ for our reception, and he is amazing! So easy to work with--if there is any song you'd like him to play, or really don't want, it's no problem. The selection of music for our day was perfect for our fun and diverse crowd, and everybody was having a blast on the dance floor! We won't hesitate to recommend him to all our friends. Great guy, great music!

WooHoo!! What a DJ!! Our daughter's wedding reception was spectacular! Robin dj'd for us and even helped us pull off a surprise on the bride when her father/daughter dance ended, her dad walked her to the side of the dance floor to be handed off to her stepdad for his father/daughter dance, but they decided to surprise her by dancing the Twist together instead!!! Robin timed it perfectly and the crowd roared!!! She was so surprised! He played the song list to perfection and the dance floor stayed packed all night!! We love you
Robin!! We would HIGHLY recommend Rock N Robin to EVERYONE that wants a great DJ! Best of all is his website!! Check it out at: http://www.rocknrobin.com/ Click enter site then click on the music tab and go to the bottom of the page to search for your choice of songs! Robin makes it incredibly easy to choose and save or edit your specialized play list! We personally chose to open Robin's website and YouTube in another window. If we needed to hear a particular song, we typed it into YouTube and decided if we liked it or not. Super easy process! Thank you so very much Robin for helping to make our daughter's wedding perfect! Tons of compliments from the 200+ guests about the music!! Robin Rocked the Reception for us!!

Rock n Robin DJ Services was recommended to us by the management of the club where we held our wedding reception. We interviewed two other DJ Services but we are so glad that we chose this DJ Service. Owner Robin Janson of Rock n Robin has an office in the Houston Heights area so it was convenient for planning the wedding music with him. He always returned my phone calls and met personally with us several times during our planning stage. He has a great web site with every song imagineable from which to choose the music playlist. Even if a song is newly recorded, he can get access to it and include it in the playlist. What was especially nice was that we could also select songs that we did not want to be played at our wedding reception. He has many DJs working with his company but we hired the owner, Robin to work our wedding reception. He met with us again as our wedding was approaching to work on the timetable of events so he would be sure that the planned events of the evening including the toasts, first dance, dancing, bouquet and garter toss were scheduled in the order we wanted them and the reception would stay within our time frame. Our DJ arrived early in the day and had his equipment set up and ready. He followed our schedule exactly. He was smooth in keeping the evening flowing and was not loud or pushy. He did not bring a bunch of equipment we did not want like gigantic speakers, black curtains or flashing lights. The sound of the music was high quality, and just the right volume for a large reception. I would highly recommend using Rock n Robin DJ Services at your wedding reception. You will be enjoy working with such a professional service.

GREAT DJ! We used Rock N Robin for our reception and were very pleased with their services. We had John as our DJ who was very fun and helpful. He called me a few days before the wedding to go over everyones names for introductions, the itinerary for the night, as well as our lengthy list of "PLAY" and "DO NOT PLAY" songs. The evening flowed so smoothly. If he started to play a song and noticed that it was clearing the dance floor he quickly faded it out and played another song to keep the party going.
Our dance floor was packed the entire night, we had a blast! I would definitely recommend them!

Robin was our DJ. Being the owner, he charges a premium, but it was well worth it! He was wonderful to work with, both during the planning process and on the day-of. He was very professional and accomodating. He provided some great suggestions we would have never thought of ourselves. We couldn't have asked for any better! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Side note: If you plan on using a photo album of your engagement pictures as a guest sign-in book, PROVIDE SHARPIES OR BALL POINT PENS for your guests to sign with!! Fountain pens are prettier, yes, but they will smudge!! I include this in this review because this is something we learned from Robin.
THANK YOU, ROBIN!!!

We were really happy that we chose Rock'n Robin. The DJ we worked with was great. We were able to chat with him briefly before the reception started. He asked us a few questions about our musical preferences. We also used the online service to request songs. He played all the songs that we requested, and he was also great at reading the crowd to keep the party going. He didn't try to be cutesy or funny; he just played the songs we wanted and made the announcements we asked, which was just what we wanted. He also seemed like a really cool guy!

Great DJ for our reception! Bryan kept things moving & there were constantly people on the dance floor -- exactly what we were hoping for, even though we had a day wedding.... and sometimes those are hard to get people dancing! They have a website where you can customize your "play" and "do not play" lists, as well as designate your special dances. We loved them and would definitely recommend their services.

My fiance and I met with Robin and liked him immediately. We decided to pay a little extra (not a lot at all) to have Robin himself DJ at our wedding. We ran into a problem 4 months out and had to reschedule the wedding. Robin did this for us without a issue. We were so thrilled with his work! He was a complete master of ceremonies. He was able to read the crowd really well and kept an eye on both my husband and i as we walked around greeting our guest so he could continue with the program when we were done. He did a great job of play my "must plays" and "do not plays", although we decided to leave our "must plays" to a short list because we trusted Robin's experience. We knew he would know weddings better than we would since he's been a DJ for so long. We got TONS and TONS of compliments on him after the wedding. I definitely recommend trying to get Robin himself to do your wedding.

We contacted Robin in response to a referral from a good friend. After meeting with him once, we knew we wanted to work with him. He laid out a detailed plan for the reception. My (now) husband and I had a Rat Pack themed wedding so the music was really the key factor in setting the tone for the evening. Robin was amazing! He was very professional and even dressed the part, donning a fedora for the night (only because we mentioned that it was part of the theme).
In response to some of the other reviews, as Robin will tell you, if you want to hire him, you must specify that and there is a small increase in the fee that he charges. We decided to pay the extra and we were not disappointed. I never realized how big of a role the DJ played in running a reception. Robin made sure things ran smoothly, even making sure we had time to eat and had a drink in our hand whenever we needed one.
To sum it up, I can't say enough about the professionalism and enthusiasm that Robin showed during the entire planning process. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who asked.

The DJ provided all of the music as planned. Robin made all of his appointments on time and the DJ at the wedding was courteous, kept the event moving without taking over, and provided extra services to the bride and groom (serving them drinks and getting water to them when they were hot from dancing).

Robin was great. He met with me, answered my crazy emails (I tend to send a lot because I have a lot of questions), and dealt with my obsessiveness. He also made the night run so smoothly. It's like he knew the type of night I wanted and just made it happen. At the last minute I started panicking about guests getting bored (we're not really dancers) and he did an anniversary dance and a dedication dance perfectly to get them dancing. He cool, calm, and knowledgeable. In fact, he told me everything I needed to know about what happens at a reception so that I was completely prepared. And he worked with my budget. He was awesome.

Robin was awesome. We knew how a DJ can make or break the reception and he made it. So many of our guests commented on how much fun they had. His MCing was great and he was very professional. I highly recommend him!
