Like many couples we were faced with a number of hiccups in our wedding plans due to COVID-19. Everyone at BobHawkins.com made the whole process easier. After two postponements we finally had our special day in mid November and their DJ did an amazing job. Thank you to Robert and everyone at BobHawkins.com for helping make our special day great.

Bobs services were included in our venues wedding package. As part of the package he was a good value. However, there were a few hiccups throughout the night - the song for the father-daughter dance restarted part way through, the song for the mother-groom dance ended early as well as not feeling the vibe of the night and just letting the dance floor die off. He was very nice to deal with and was very responsive in emails throughout the whole process. He also has an extensive catalog of songs to be able to pick and choose from.

We hired Bob Hawkins for our wedding at the Madison Greenhouse Event Venue. We would not be more grateful for this team as they were extremely easy to work with - highly professional, responsive and kind. Robert was flexible with our changing plans and made sure to accommodate our needs. Our DJ was phenomenal and really brought everyone together. His energy and positivity were well received by our guests throughout the entire night. We could not be happier with this team and would definitely recommend them for your next event!

I am so happy I went with this company for our wedding! The DJ was a big part of our night with excellent music and song mixing, he really played to the crowd and kept us dancing all night long! He was super friendly and listed the the bride & groom with their wishes throughout the night.
Bob Hawkins is very easy to communicate with via email - Rob replies very quickly and insures that you can book an appointment if you feel necessary prior to your event. The DJ had the papers with him from the our questionnaire, and he followed it perfectly. I was even able to email Bob Hawkins songs from U

Not a good experience on our wedding day with this business at all. We booked about 3 months out, I was assured we had lots of time to work with them and I trusted them seeing how they were a legit company not just a freelancer or hobbyist (although now I regret not hiring someone local and small scale). The DJ sent on our wedding day arrived 10 minutes prior to the ceremony, asked the bride where to set up, and delayed the ceremony by 10 extra minutes. Didn't follow the specific song request and was delayed on playing our departure song - we were at the end of the aisle and already past our guests

We had a fantastic experience using BobHawkins DJ service for our wedding. Robert was our DJ and from the time our guests arrived until the party ended, he kept the guests entertained and the dance floor fun! Many people came up to me and said, congratulations on your wedding, also, this DJ is amazing!. Leading up to the event, we received quick responses via email, and timely reminders for payments and paperwork due dates. The detailed questionnaire made it easy to ensure the right music would be played at the right time and choose which genres we wanted played throughout the evening. On
