About

On WeddingWire since 2023

Based in Sunnyvale, serving Northern California. Since 2021, I've worked with dozens of couples to make their special day SPECIAL to them - customizing playlists for cocktails, entrances, dinner, and dancing; doing some custom song edits for first dances; even helping one couple to Rick Roll their guests! You want your wedding to be as unique as you and your partner are, so don't settle for someone just going through the motions. I make sure to schedule a call or sit down with every client to go over the details and find out what's important to them.

I'm a wedding DJ, not a club DJ, so event services are part of my DNA. I can do any amount of emceeing you're looking for, facilitate transitions and entrances, and keep the reception transitions flowing as well as the music. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I look forward to being of service to you.

Our wedding would not have been the same without Rob

Summary:  If you're looking for a great DJ that is dependable, creative, easy to work with, and goes the extra mile, Rob (Northern Lights) is the DJ for you. He was one of 6 vendors for our 60 person wedding and certainly the most memorable with the most impact for the best of reasons.

Planning with Rob:
Rob was super responsive and always made sure he was available. He took the time to understand the timeline of the day and even had his own template to make sure specific music and announcements are made at the right time. As a couple that was new to the wedding scene, this was extremely helpful for us. It was the first time we were forced to really think of the details about our special day and when it all started to come together. We changed our schedule the week of the wedding and he was super flexible and responsive to our changes. He also made sure he pronounced our bridal party and parents' names correctly which we greatly appreciated.

Experience During the Wedding:
Our wedding was different in that we did not have a day of coordinator and we were leaning on Rob to help us keep the flow going and not let us fall to far behind. On the day of, he definitely helped keep us organized and would go look for us to make sure we were ready to proceed to the next part of the wedding. He had all the equipment to set up for two spaces at our outdoor venue: 1) ceremony and 2) dinner/reception area. He made all of the announcements to let our guests know what was going on and when they needed to move to other areas of the venue. We ended up having to deviate from the original plan quite a bit because of slow catering and the photographers insisting on a different time to shoot our pictures than we had originally planned. Rob just kept it rolling without an issue.

Music: The sound quality was great; It felt like a concert. The transitions were so smooth and perfect. There were several segments we worked with Rob in advance to blend and trim. Each time we'd let him know what our vision was and he'd send over 2 or 3 options for us to choose from and was still open to additional feedback (although he understood our vision every time so it was usually as easy as selecting our favorite version of it). He also let us customize the set for different parts of the wedding, e.g. guests arrival, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance.

A wedding we'll never forget!

Rob was super helpful throughout the entire process of planning our entertainment. His experience was invaluable when meeting with us to review and double check the details for the big event. Everything went off without a hitch and he faithfully followed the schedule of events we had created with our planner. We didn't have to worry about anything but being a new couple! Many of our friends commented they had been to recent weddings, but ours was the stand out. Thanks so much Rob, we'll definitely recommend you!
