Wedding: 10/16/11
As a professional musician I had a lot of high expectations when it came to the musical entertainment for our wedding reception. Forever Productions was able to meet all of those and even went a step further to provide valuable connections to additional services.Our party on Sunday, October 16th, 2011 was a success. The dance floor stayed busy and the party flowed thanks to D.J. Rob's experience and flexibility. He was very polite, and listened carefully to every request made prior to and during the event.

Our September 24th wedding was an absolute blast, and I give much of that credit to our DJ, Rob Jones of Forever Productions. He certainly made our event fun and kept people dancing. There were family members out on the dance floor that I thought I'd never see out there! He created such a fun atmosphere and his song selections were dead on! The only complaint I have is that he was late arriving to the ceremony and hadn't called to let us know. Finally, 15 minutes before our ceremony, my wedding coordinator came to find me and get his number. He said he had forgotten his pass to get on base and had to turn around to get it. This is understandable, but he did have many contact numbers that I had provided on the online form. He could have called me, my groom, my planner, or the manager to the event site. Then we could have just sponsored him to get on bass without a pass. But that aside, once Rob did get there, he had everything set up in no time. Many of my guests didn't even notice he was late. All my songs for my ceremony were just like I had requested, and the reception was perfect. Thanks for such a great time! Awesome job Rob! You made a world of difference and I'm so happy that you were our DJ! Very satisfied!

Rob did an awesome job at our wedding! From the first time we contacted him he was responsive and professional. We decided to skip the DJ and just use an i-pod but as the day approached I got nervous about it. A few months later when I got an email from Rob asking if we had chosen anyone, I jumped at it, and I am so glad I did. I was worried that we weren't going to have the kind of crowd that would dance a lot, but I was wrong. Rob really read our guest and played the music that got everyone up and dancing. It was such a fun night and Forever Productions was exactly the right choice! Thank you SO MUCH!!!

I very much enjoyed working with Rob. Everything was great the only thing I could criticize actually worked out well. That was that I had asked him to not play the YMCA but as he explained to me so many of the guests (who had a bit to drink) had requested it. I now have great pictures I would not have had otherwise, specifically a picture of my brother in-law forcing me to do the YMCA which is totally out of his character. Rob was able to find a favorite song of mine from a unfortunately not YET well known band to play. Overall I would definitely recommend Rob as a DJ to anyone, except a Bridezilla but that is for his sake not theirs. :)

I should have known when Rob showed up late to our first meeting, but he seemed like a nice guy- promised a lot, and I ended up choosing him for our wedding. On July 23, 2011 I walked into my reception and was pulled aside by the DJ's assistant who whispered in my ear "we do not have any of your songs." I had spent hours customizing his online form specifing who our wedding party was, what songs to play when they walked in, my first dance song w/ my husband, with my dad, etc. All of that was gone! You would have thought DJ Rob would have called me anytime leading up to the wedding to say he didn't receive it, but no...they told me at my reception! This is the DJ's only job, to play the right songs. I do not recommed DJ rob.- Morgan

Rob at Forever Productions did an amazing job at my wedding! Everyone danced the night away! He stayed an extra hour because people were having such a blast on the dance floor! It was great being able to select the music you want to hear at your event online! He was very professional and I couldn't have asked for a better day! He was more than a DJ- He made sure EVERYTHING went smoothly at the reception. Can't thank him and the company enough!!

This DJ was all hype, and little substance. They screwed up our wedding night by not paying attention to the details. After talking with the owner after he told me he would refund us some money; he has since stopped returning calls. Be wary of hiring this company. My fiancee and I met with Rob, the owner of the business, four days before our wedding. He talked his business up and got us excited for a fun night, but also spent much of the time bad mouthing our wedding planners- the same ones that had sent us to him. We went through everything that we expected from the DJ and filled out all his forms for request songs, people to be introduced etc. He told us he would be at our wedding for the first hour or so and then his assistant would stay the remainder of the time after he "got things started." When we arrived at the reception, the DJ held us in the foyer for nearly 20 minutes writing down all the names to introduce and making sure he understood who was going in what order. The wife and I just looked and each other and commented, "Didn't we already give all this to your boss?" Rob never even bothered to come to our reception like he promised us, and clearly did not give all the required information to his employee. The night went on and the DJ to his credit played all the requested songs we asked for and the music was fine. The DJ was not social however; he did not get on the microphone very much and talk to crowd and act as an emcee like expected. Essentially, he was a playlist in a tuxedo. The big problem came at the end of the night. The DJ stopped playing 40 minutes before the end of our contract and announced we were leaving for our send off to the guests. My wife and I were left standing around confused. The confusion turned to embarrassment 5 minutes later when we realized it was not even 10:30 and the DJ had stopped playing. My wife went up to talk with him and the DJ informed her that our reception ends at 10:30. My wife angrily corrected him and said that it ended at 11:00. He spent the next 5 minutes trying to get his boss on the phone. At this point, guests are starting to put their coats on and make their way for the door. It was 10:45 before he got his equipment set up again and by that time he had already killed the party. The next week I contacted Rob to explain all that had gone wrong. I told him there was nothing that could change what happened but that we did not get a $1000 DJ and he should refund us some of our money to make things right. He said he would make it right and that he needed to follow up with his DJ one more time and then he would call back and we would discuss the refund. He has refused to return my calls or answer his business phone for 6 weeks now. And, despite what his website will tell you, he is not affiliated with the Better Business Bureau, and will not respond to them either.

I was really worried that it would be hard to get people to dance but they had people dancing non stop the whole time. They were so nice and easy to work with. We had really wanted a band but since our space was limited we got a DJ. Even if we ever have room for a band for other parties, we will be going back to the DJ at forever productions. They can play every song that you want and can gauge the crowds mood to get them moving. Everyone told us what a great DJ he was and everyone had a blast.

Rob was everything and more that we could have asked for in a DJ. He did an excellent job of keeping the night moving along even when our day of coordinator let things fall a little behind.His website is very self explanatory and he is more than willing to help you out (on Mondays or Tuesdays as he's busy with events on the weekends) if you want to talk with him. He will also contact you a few days in advanced to go over name pronunciations, timelines and any last details so don't stress in the months prior if you don't speak with him. Rob's MC skills were top notch and he ensured that our guests had a great time. Thanks for helping to make our special day perfect!Kaitlin & Dan

Rob was awesome! We loved being able to sit down and meet with him to discuss the wedding early on. We also loved the online access to his music and the ability to request songs the we really wanted to hear, along with block ones that we did not want played at the wedding! He had a wonderful sense humor and dealt with our crazy wedding party and family like a true professional. I would highly recommend Forever Productions!

Rob and Brian were professional, friendly, and upbeat. Brian worked our wedding and did an excellent job; he was entertaining and played great music. He always has a smile on his face. I would definitely recommend these guys!

although rob was a little tough to get in touch with sometimes, our reception turned out fantastically. i loved the planning worksheets we filled out online because they helped me make sure i had all my "ducks in a row", but as a musician, rob really knew how to read the crowd and keep things moving, too! he did a GREAT job!

I had a great time at my wedding and overall Rob did a good job. But he didn't play hardly any of the songs on our must play list. Also, we live in Charlotte. One weekend we drove down to Wilmington for an appointment with Rob; which he forgot. He apologized and apologized and said he would offer some extras, like lighted backgrounds because of this, but we never received anything extra. It would have been nice to hear the music we requested. Also, we said ABSOLUTELY no country and he played a couple of country songs. I am sure people may have requested them, but still- our wedding is for us, not our guests. Overall though, I think he did a pretty good job. He felt out the crowd and what they liked, he didn't plug his own services (we have been to many a wedding like this), he dressed professionally and he is a nice guy.

While DJ Rob was eager to provide cost cutting deals and provided am impressive internet questionaire system, in the end his performance was dissapointing and product not at all what we asked for. After recieving a deposit from us, DJ Rob asked us to fill out several pages of detailed forms concerning the scheduling of the reception and our music selections for each category. After submitting the selections several weeks in advance AND attempting to contact him to confirm these selections, the music he actually played at the reception had no relationship to anything we had actually selected. Instead of southern blues music, Rob played easy listening and instead of the 80's dance music we requested he played the cha cha/macarena group dance songs. In fact at one point he asked my brother if we were hispanic and when he recieved a yes-proceeded to play salsa music.

We met with Rob, the owner of Forever DJ productions. We booked because we felt comfortable with him and what he offered. Rob told us we would not have him as the DJ as he had a prior event but assured us that the DJ we would get was qualified and would do a good job (we also got another recommendation from the same DJ). Forever DJ productions has a website so that you can input song requests and do a schedule of events. My husband spend several hours working on this, however, the day of the wedding, I do not think the DJ had even reviewed it or had it printed. He did not follow the schedule of events and kept asking us through the night when we wanted to do things. Since I didnt have it printed with me, I felt like we had no real schedule during the evening. Also, he only played a handful of the requested songs and was very difficult to understand. Overall, I would recommend forever DJ productions. But be sure you meet with the actual DJ and that you confirm with them ahead of time that they printed the schedule. Everyone at the wedding had fun, I dont think anyone else even noticed the DJ, but since we were paying for him and we had spent so many hours on the forms online, we were slightly dissapointed. But still had a great time.
