Has anyone ever heard or used DJ Bob? I can’t find any reviews on him except on his website. He is inexpensive which works well for our budget. Below is a clip from his website. If anyone knows anything please pass the info along..

“DJ BOB has over 10 years of experience in the entertainment business. This gives him the upper hand to most DJ's. Preparing for each event on an individualized basis makes your event like no other.”

Thanks!!!!

Hey Guys! Just an update! I ended up going with DJBob!! I am pretty excited after talking to him. I don’t think he has fireworks or anything like that. But my wedding is very small so it works for us. He has good sound equipment and has a great personality, at least from what I can tell. I can check that off my list!!! I will let you guys know how it goes!!!

A review of DJ Bob from a reference he gave me:

Yes, we used DJ Bob for our tiny wedding in Akumal. He was awesome!! Definitely got everyone dancing the entire night (all 17 of us) and even the parents were rocking out too. He is a hilarious, old school partier from the East who now lives in Mexico and is the local dj. He is totally open to playing as much of "your" music as you request. Definitely has a little cheesy wedding dj in him but it made it super fun too.
For the resources that are available down there, he is great!
With all of that said I don't know your musical taste. If you want a real dj who spins electronic/techno music this is NOT your guy. I'm assuming not but just had to say that.

Does anyone have an updated review from DJ Bob or has anyone recently booked him for a wedding? Thanks!

[julielynn]

I have booked DJ Bob for my wedding this weekend. I will let you know. So far he has been very flexible with my schedule and easy to contact. He even visited my resort for me! I will keep you posted!

I have booked him for my wedding as well! We have 39 booked so far & I am execting about 50 or so! Not small, but I really didnt want to shell out $900 that DJ Mannia quoted me & I don't need fireworks. Just great music.

I was trying to decided between an iPod or a DJ & when I spoke with DJ Bob & he quoted me less almost half of DJ Mannia.... I decided to go with a DJ.

I spoke with him on the phone for about 45 min. Him & his wife moved from Jersey to Playa Del Carmen about 8 years ago..... so he speaks perfect english, has a cell phone you can contact him on & is currently doing Kareoke at 2 bars in Cancun 2x's a week & weddings on the weekend!

He will download any music you want to be played or you can let him choose. I am going for a site visit of our resort & he is going to meet us down there just to say hi.

He has also gone to visit the resort & already met with the WC's there to see where he can set up & to get any rules they might have.... & we're not getting married until May!

I was very impressed with him so far!

Do you have his contact information? I want to get a quote from him....I thought my quote from DJ Mannia was a litte high as well considering my reception is only 4 hours.

And this may be a stupid question, but are we supposed to tip the DJ on top of their fee? I'm not sure how that works in Mexico. Do you know what you were planning on doing?
Thanks!!!
