I have nothing but positive things to say about Robert! He was absolutely incredible.
My husband and I got married on June 13th, 2025. Robert was a great communicator throughout ...
the entire process. He was hands on and great at collaborating with us to ensure we were happy with everything. He created an outline for our wedding day, as well, which was super helpful. We ended up not having a wedding coordinator but honestly, we didn't need one because we had Robert!
We had a great time giving him creative freedom with our music, and let me tell you, he CRUSHED it! We made a small playlist for him to get a feel for our vibes, and he did an amazing job mixing a little bit of everything we liked. I cannot tell you the number of guests at our wedding who came up to us and said how awesome the music was. The dance floor was packed the entire night!
There is no doubt in my mind that Robert is the BEST DJ to hire for your wedding :)

w/meet in person ahead of time (thanks, COVID), but Rob's openness and genuine sincerity made us both feel incredibly at ease. We really wanted a laid back wedding, and Rob was very willing to work with us on that. Very easy to talk to, very professional, and overall just a joy to work with. Would very strongly recommend Rob to anyone in search of a wedding DJ (or any DJ, for that matter). You won't be disappointed at all.

he made the day for us. Rob excelled in making every moment feel beyond special. His attention to what our guests were enjoying and his ability to keep on track of everything was wonderful. I got to enjoy the evening with ease and comfort knowing everyone was happy, and I cannot thank Rob enough for what he did for us. I have recommended him to anyone and everyone and will continue to do so, and will most definitely hire again for any party or event in the future!

for heading up large events with retail partners, Lasting Moments was an integral part of my success. They were professional and adapted to every situation. They were familiar with a broad genre of music and if there was something they did not know they quickly researched and included. The were a favorite with all of the stores and were often requested. I highly recommend them for your event!
