We used Monastero Entertainment for our wedding and had DJ Mike! He played bangers all night long! Everyone kept saying "this DJ is amazing!!!" The dance floor was packed! Mike was so on top of everything and kept us in the loop all night long. We can't thank Mike enough for making our wedding such a fun party! Leading up to the event, Rob was also super helpful with the planning process! He mixed and cut songs for us and they sounded amazing! We highly recommend Dj Mike and Monastero Entertainment! read more

Monastero Entertainment provided music and DJ services for my brother's wedding. Mike was great to work with. I was giving a speech and he took the time to show the other speakers and I how use the microphone and adjust the microphone stand. His announcing and music during the night added to the festive atmosphere. The music was on point and led to a lot of great dancing. Monastero Entertainment did a lot to make my brother's wedding a night to remember and I'm sure they can help with your next event as well. I highly recommend Monastero Entertainment! read more

Hello Pete, We would like to thank you for making our wedding celebration just spectacular. Monastero Entertainment met us in person and Roberto and Pete are great guys to work with. Not only did Monastero Entertainment meet our needs and played great music but they kept everyone on the dance floor. The music was a hit! I loved that we all danced the night away. The announcer was also great-everything turned exactly how I hoped for. We will keep you in mind for another celebration. Thank you for keeping us up on our feet and moving. Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Kinzel read more

We attended a wedding, last year, that had the best DJ! The dance floor was packed all night, and it was very memorable. A few months later, we got engaged. The first thing I did after setting the date, was hire the same company, Monastero, to do our wedding. Music is very important in our lives, and I wanted to make sure that our reception was non-stop dancing! Rob Monastero is the principal, and he held my hand through the whole process. He introduced us to Mike, who would be our DJ. We talked about the order of events, the guests, the overall feeling we were trying to achieve, and special requests we would need. Leading up to the big day, I gave them our lists of songs, timing of speeches, etc. (Monastero has a website that makes it super easy to add songs, notes, etc). Day of, Mike was there early to set up. After some modifications to the space layout, he perfected the positioning of his impressive booth, complete with lighting. Once we were through the intros, and the speeches and the dinner music, he got that party started! And, OMG, did we dance. He kept that floor going. Two weeks later and I'm still getting compliments about the music. Mike and Rob, thank you for making our wedding something special. We are so grateful. If you need DJ services for any type of party, don't hesitate to give Monastero a call. They will take great care to ensure your event music is perfect. read more

Rob is awesome! He was really attentive to our requests and really easy to work with for our wedding. Everyone was on the dance floor all night having a blast. He was great about incorporating all of our cultures into the music selections. The only critique was that the music was a little loud, but no one else minded lol. He was also very professional and responsible, no delays or hitches at all. Great experience all around! I can't recommend him enough. Thank you!! read more

We had a fantastic time with DJ Pete! He kept the dance floor packed at our wedding. He did a great job following our requests, and the whole team was great to work with. read more

I can't recommend Mike and Rob with Monastero Entertainment enough. My family has worked with Rob and his DJs for several weddings and being in the event industry myself, expectations were HIGH. Not only did Mike keep the dance floor alive all night, he exceeded all expectations we could have imagined. I have never been more sore in my life with the hours of dancing I did thanks to his phenomenal work. From blending of the songs to choosing the best tracks that fit our group, I couldn't thank Mike enough. I've already had someone reach out asking who our DJ was for their wedding just 2 days after our wedding and another who wished they booked him for their wedding in 2 weeks. Don't hesitate to lock him down. 10/10, gold stars, Oscar winning performance! read more

Stop scrolling + book them immediately...and I mean IMMEDIATELY, assuming you are lucky enough that they are available on your date of interest. STAT. PRONTO. NOW. CHOP CHOP. From communication responsiveness from day dot to day-of, it truly does not get any better than this outfit. Rob and Mike go so far out of their way to make sure you are happy, comfortable and confident moving forward with them before ANY event. By "showtime" you will have learned thrice-over why these guys are in such high demand. By the end of the night they'll feel like family. Monastero Entertainment is a group of class act professionals that know how to "read the room" on any stage, at any point, with any crowd, for any vibe. The power of a good word is not one to be trifled with; I cannot scream their praises loud enough. **DISCLAIMER: This review brought to you by a classic Grade-A Overthinker, if that tells you anything about how incredible these guys are at what they do. I hereby triple-dog-dare you to experience their talent and professionalism with your own firsthand account...and you know the rules of triple-dog-dares. read more

We were referred to Rob from friend who hired him as their wedding DJ. We attended the wedding and danced the WHOLE night. The dance floor was always busy, which is what we wanted for our wedding. Rob delivered that and then some! He helped me with a surprise for my husband, helped make the perfect timeline and gave excellent advice. Also, great communication! On top of that, the most common post-wedding feedback I got was "We had such a great time, your DJ was amazing!" Hire Rob, you won't be disappointed. read more

Joe was absolutely incredible! We hired him for our wedding and he did not disappoint! played the best music and kept everyone up and dancing. People love him and he's great at what he does!! Really made it a night to remember! 11/10 for sure! read more

I cannot recommend Rob and his amazing staff enough! Our first meeting I knew immediately Rob and Pete were the PERFECT addition to our day. Rob was super responsive and made the entire planning process seamless. Rob made personal edits to my songs in order to make them perfect, make our timeline absolutely perfect AND he even helped with a surprise Maid of Honor song/speech. Rob and his team were unbelievably flexible, responsive, accommodating and so much more. I made last minute changes and the team made it work so perfectly that no one knew but me and them. I cannot say enough good things about Rob and his company. He was knowledgable our day would not have gone as smoothly without Rob and Pete's expertise. I will definitely be recommending Monastero Entertainment to my friends and family in the future. Thanks again Rob and Pete! You made our day amazing. read more

2020 has been one for the books. After postponing our wedding from May to October, we ultimately ended up having to down-size our guest list (abandoning our plans for a large venue and a live band). At the LAST MINUTE, we decided to hire an MC at our venue manager's recommendation. She suggested we book Rob at Monastero Entertainment, and boy are we glad we did! Rob was awesome - an excellent communicator (super responsive) and was happy to work closely with us on our song selections (even slowing down an upbeat Beatles tune that I wanted to dance with my dad to). Although we were unable to have a dancefloor, Rob MC'd wonderfully and really kept the evening moving from special dances to speeches to our cake cutting. 5 out of 5 stars for me - I would book Rob again! read more

Rob and Joe were incredible from the preparation all they way to our wedding day. Rob was our point person and helped with all of the coordination, must play songs, lighting, photo booth, and the mixing for our first dance song! Joe was ultimately our DJ and he did an unbelievable job keeping the dance floor going all night, while also accommodating a fairly complicated request from our maid of honor and best man for their speeches. Peter, who manned the photo booth, did an amazing job capturing memories of all our guests and putting them in our photo book. I would not hesitate to recommend either of them and we are already looking for other excuses to work with them again! Thank you to the whole Monastero team! Conan and Erica read more

Rob was our DJ for our wedding a couple weeks ago, and I am still having guests tell me what a great job he did! He was one of our favorite vendors. He had the dance floor packed the entire time! Also, he did a great job of taking our input on the kind of music we wanted to hear throughout the day for pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. He played all of our "must plays" during the reception, and added some songs that went well with the vibe we wanted. Another thing we loved was that he mixes songs together (if you want him to) which none of the other DJs we spoke with offered to do. Thank you Rob for helping make our day so perfect and making sure our guests had a great time on the dance floor! Highly recommend booking Rob! read more

We used Monastero Entertainment for our wedding ceremony and reception in June of 2022. Rob, our representative, helped us plan our day with ease. We planned our wedding from out of town and he made sure all our needs were met. Prior to the event, Rob fielded several phone calls from us and was always happy to help. We appreciated Rob's expertise and online form to provide our DJ with all the necessary information. We were able to provide a playlist of must play, do not play, and play if you can. Unfortunately, the weather during our event was unfavorable and forced us to change the ceremony plans. Our DJ, Joe, adapted well and had everything ready for the rain location. The music for our ceremony was tasteful and exactly what we were looking for. During cocktail hour, Joe kept the music going and never made it a distraction to our guests. Joe introduced our wedding party and got our guests well excited. His energy could be felt and made our guests really enjoy their time. Joe was right on time with our special dances. We requested our special dance songs be edited for time and it was well done. Joe had microphones for the ceremony and reception ready to go with no interruption. During the reception, Joe expertly read the room and played the right music at the right time. He made sure to keep our guests engaged and enjoying themselves. At the request of a family member, a song from our "do not play" list was played. We were happy the family member enjoyed their song, but we wish we had been asked before playing the song. We booked the package which provided simple lighting, ceremony music, cocktail hour music, dinner music, and ample time for reception. Rob told us several times he would not nickel and dime us if we needed an extra half hour of music and kept his promise. We greatly enjoyed our services and highly recommend Rob's team! read more

I'll make this short... Rob was OUTSTANDING TO WORK WITH!!! Our son got married during Covid and my husband and I had a celebration for them and invited around 100 guests. Rob made me feel very comfortable during the planning process and let me know it was our event and he would do what we wanted. He was everything we hoped for and then some!! Just a really, really nice guy wanting to help make a celebration memorable! read more

I don't know where to start on how wonderful Rob was to us! We are actually wedding photographers and he was one of the best and kindest DJ I know! He even helped us with a surprise for the bride and groom! (I was missing something on my laptop) He was super helpful didn't get upset once to help us! And kept the dance floor rocking all night!!! I look forward to working with them again! read more

STOP your search here. Berto is absolutely amazing. He has a killer team, he knows how to get a great crew together. HOWEVER if you can swing it and he's available, he's an amazing guy all around. You will be blown away with his professionalism, flexibility, energy, and TALENT. Guys I'm telling you this is important and something you may not think about...but he just GETS it. Trust me. I am a professional wedding photographer since 2008 and he's top dog. Serious. I trust Berto big time no questions. Hit me if you have any more questions about my personal experience. Or working experience. He's amazing on both sides of the fence. I can go on forever but I want people to actually read this and take it serious. Thank you so much Berto. Everyone loved you.

DJ Rob was the BEST DJ for our wedding. He read the room/dance floor so it was constantly crowed to get our guests involved. He was able to mash songs up which was such a huge hit!! He worked with us to make a custom first dance song and dad/daughter dance. During speeches he even used sound effects to get the crowd to laugh at specific parts. He was able to announce the wedding party in an exciting manner. He is honestly the best DJ and would recommend him to anyone!!! read more

Wow, I seriously do not have enough words to express my gratitude for Rob and his amazing talents as a DJ. He was one of the most helpful and thoughtful vendors I had at my wedding, he edited songs for my recessional to make them exactly how I wanted it, helped me nail down timelines, plan for things I didn't even think of, allowed me to sing bad karaoke, he even offered to get me drinks and carry things if I needed help. Even with all of that, he also incorporated all of the songs on my crazy playlists, made special announcements throughout the night honoring my parents and my friends, and played the best damn music I've ever heard at a wedding (not just my playlists haha). He always kept the party going and I dont think the dance floor was empty one time! Thank you so much for making our dream wedding a reality Rob!! We are eternally grateful for you read more

I was referred to Monastero Entertainment from a friend who said he attended a wedding and they rocked it. I've been in the DJ/entertainment industry prior to my career now and my expectations were very high for my own wedding. We met with Rob (owner) and Pete Garcia and immediately felt comfortable. They were very creative in the process to cater it to our vision but also very organized. After our wedding, I had several people say that was one of the best DJs they've heard at a wedding, ever. Would hands down recommend these guys to anyone. read more

Joe was our wedding dj last week. I couldn't be more thankful for the service he provided. Joe doesn't just play music he provides guidance and professionalism to keep your wedding plans at bay. With all the drunk people running around Joe gathered everyone important promptly and worked with the photographers and wedding staff to keep everything running smooth. His equipment was spot on without a single hiccup. He is a professional and the real deal so if you need a wedding dj at a good price this is your man. read more

Well as you can see already Roberto is the man. After going to a wedding and loving the music my wife asked who the DJ was and we were introduced to Roberto. He was great in working with us since we did some different things at our wedding (remixed first dance, etc.). He also did a great job coordinating with both our photographers and videographers. However, the most important part is the music. After having gone to at least 20 weddings in the last 3 years, I'm of the mindset that music either makes or breaks the wedding. He plays music that gets people out of their chairs and on the dance floor while mixing the end of one track into the beginning of the next so that people just keep on going. Our wedding was supposed to end at 12 but he stayed and played with us until around 2 in the morning. I would recommend him to anyone who likes to party. Thanks again Roberto, you helped make our wedding day unforgettable. read more

Let's start from the beginning, shall we? We had our wedding on November 7 and booked Monastero Entertainment in February. Roberto and his team all went out of their way to accommodate our crazy schedules so that we could be comfortable with who would be working our wedding. We ended up having John C. as our DJ for the ceremony and reception and he was the perfect fit. On to the day-of. John arrived with all of his own equipment and immediately knew who to ask questions to -- not the bride (me). He went straight to our coordinator and he was ready to go. He set up his own equipment and took the initiative to make sure our keyboardist and officiant were set up comfortably. We also used their uplighting for our venue and it was perfect - I also must add that it is some quality equipment... I don't know how many people accidentally ran into those lights as the evening went on.... There were no glitches (that I knew of!) and everyone had an amazing time with John as the DJ. He even came out and sang our last song of the evening, "Take Me Home, Country Roads," with us. Overall, Monastero Entertainment is INCREDIBLY professional and really handled their own shit (excuse my language, but it's true) - we never once had to remind them who we were or the date of our event... We met with them, checked in a couple times to make sure we were on track, and they showed up on time. I will definitely refer them to anyone who needs DJ services. read more

Roberto was an excellent DJ! He played a great mix of music that kept all our guests dancing all night long. We received many compliments on the DJ and said it was the most fun reception they'd been to! During the planning process Roberto was available to help out and provide suggestions. We also liked the online event manager program that allowed us to select songs that we liked and guided us with reception organization. We would recommend Monastero Entertainment again and again! Thank you Roberto! read more

Roberto!!!!!!!!! You kicked major A$$ saturday night. Our guest can't stop talking about how well you mixed the songs together. You kept that dance floor moving all night! Marjie and I spent more time dancing then going around to our guests! lol I know the guests didn't mind it. You played the perfect songs at the right time for the right amount of time to keep the guests into it. We are so glad we picked you for our wedding and allowed you to do exactly what you needed to do. We told Roberto to do what he does with little input from us. He is the best in the industry, if you do not pick Roberto, then your making a mistake!!! read more

Roberto DJ'd our wedding at the end of August. Pretty much echoing the sentiments of Amy A's review (read that one, it's better written). Saw him perform at a friend's wedding a couple of years ago, and it was perfect. He's a really great singer with the old rat-pack-y type songs (that's all I've heard him sing, but it is great). I'd encourage him to sing a couple if you can, it adds a little bit of a live act to the vibe. Dancing - Awesome. I'm not a dancer in any way, so I had nothing in mind. He did a phenomenal job of keeping an eye on people and seeing what they were and weren't dancing to, mixing things up and keeping everyone entertained. He's great to work with in every aspect of the process. Couldn't recommend a better DJ. read more

I can't stress enough how awesome Roberto is. He was such an amazing part of my wedding. You wouldn't believe how many people have told us that it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to! I know it's because I had phenomenal vendors and I have no doubt that Roberto played a singular role there - everyone - and I mean EVERYONE including my uncle with his arm in that sling - was on the dance floor!!! After just one meeting he totally got the blend of genres and styles that we love and that would get everyone else up and dancing! Roberto also did uplighting for our reception (seems like such a simple little addition but had such a STUNNING effect on the room!!!) When I first met Roberto, my groom and I brought him this idea -- we are musicians and wanted to have Roberto DJ for most of the night, but we wanted to throw in a little live music just for fun. Not only was Roberto game for our band idea, he brought even more to the table - he suggested having the groom play a drum solo with the DJ music. We actually ended up having both one of his close friends and the groom do a drum solo! It was awesome! A totally fun and unexpected transition from the DJ to the Live section of the night. The night was so much fun - dancing was almost my favorite part (it has to go right after marrying my wonderful husband...) :) I will forever have fond memories of the dance floor and Roberto who made it all possible. I will leave with one final note: Roberto was so helpful and so dedicated - he was literally one of the last people there, carrying gear and boxes that weren't even his out to load them in the cars! Would recommend a thousand times over and over. read more

Mike S from the company was available for our wedding since Rob Monastero was booked that day. I was honestly a little nervous because the music is one of the biggest factors to a fun wedding and there weren't a ton of reviews for Mike specifically. I SERIOUSLY COULD HAVE NOT ASKED FOR A BETTER DJ!!! They are reasonably priced, the dance floor was always packed (We had a wide range of age groups at our wedding), did not talk a whole lot, was very prepared and easy to work with. We also worked with Rob while planning and they are both just amazing. I will forever recommend Rob and Mike to anyone and everyone! You won't be disappointed!!!!!! read more

Roberto was amazing! He made selecting songs very easy. People still come up to us saying our DJ was the best(got married in January). Finally, working with Roberto was extremely easy and smooth. Everything we needed on the big day. read more

I just attended the American Cancer Society's Taste of Hope event at Morgan Mfg. The DJ kept the party on a great vibe all night long. A mix of chill cocktail music that morphed into dusty old and fresh new hits and Latin dance, the works! My wife and I were chatting that we liked the music selection earlier in the evening then when we later walked past the DJ booth we realized, "hey, that's 'Berto!". I met Roberto through friends over 10 years ago but this is the first time I actually heard him spin and see him work.We stopped and chatted and took some pics, he didn't miss a mix beat. What a fun, easy-going and entertaining personality! Great work Roberto. read more

Words cannot express how Rob rocked it at our wedding. He won the kids and adults hearts. Everyone keeps talking about how great he was. The lights, the photo booth and especially the ceremony and reception. The mixes were unbelievable. My son is totally into music and he and all his brothers were like, "Mom that DJ......he was awesome!!! Where did you get him?" Need I say more. Putting 50 year olds and 20 year olds together - what a combination. I am just so happy. We made the right choice. He is very personable and will ask you if it is ok to play a song if requested by a kid, with inappropriate lyrics. He is respectful, polite, and creative. Weddings are hectic as we all know, he is the type of person, that you DONT HAVE TO BABYSIT and does his job PERFECTLY, just a the type of person you want and can trust to do the job RIGHT! Well done! Your parents did a great job raising you! Robb and Lynnea read more

I wish I could plan another wedding just so we could have Roberto as our DJ again. Our reception was amazing-the up lighting was beautiful, the dance floor was never empty, and the photo booth was so much fun for guests of all ages. So many guests commented on how great Roberto was. He helped coordinate last minute events and guided us with ease through dances, speeches, etc. Thank you so much for helping make our wedding so memorable, and we cannot wait to see you again at our family and friends events! read more

Roberto can't be beat - our wedding reception wouldn't have been as AWESOME as it was if it wasn't for him. He was a joy to work with from start to finish, and we're beyond thrilled that he helped us celebrate our wedding day. Everyone kept commenting about how great he was (and we agree!). When my husband and I first met with him, we could tell we already liked him, and our cousins who recommended him had nothing but amazing things to say (we now see why). He listened to what we had to say, got to know us, and made suggestions for our program and music. He was super responsive to all my emails - and there were a LOT - and was so patient with us, especially when we weren't sure about what we wanted or thought of changing things. Fast forward to our wedding reception... words can't even describe how happy we are with Rob and his work. The whole reception flowed smoothly, people were on the dancefloor the whole time, everyone was enjoying the music, his voice is wonderful (he did something really special for me for my father-daughter dance)... Take me back to our wedding!!! Thanks so much for everything, Rob!!! You were amazeballs. If anyone needs a DJ/MC for their event, you HAVE to get Rob! read more

Rob DJ'd our wedding on September 9th. I've been to about 10 weddings, maybe more, over the last few years. He's the only DJ that made the music so memorable that I knew I had to hire him. He was very responsive, easy to work with, and did a great job. Everyone at our wedding told us how great the music was. In fact my sister said he was too good and that she felt guilty for sitting down. If you hire him you will be so glad you did. The music definitely sets the tone for the whole night. read more

Its been two weeks since our reception and I'm still getting texts from people letting us know how awesome our DJ was! Roberto is a master of his craft. He reads the crowd perfectly. Not only did he make sure our dance floor was packed the entire night, but he was incredibly gracious to our guests as well. He collaborated with my husband to sing our first dance song, which was a wonderful surprise. He took the time to find some great versions of songs that are sentimental to my family. And, he hooked us up with a three-piece jazz band for our cocktail hour. Those personal touches made all the difference. read more

Roberto is absolutely incredible to work with. My wedding was this past Saturday 2/18 and I'm not sure why I was so uneasy that my guests wouldn't be on the dance floor all night. (Ok maybe I was a bit of an anxious bride) Rob assured me he'd have everyone dancing all night and boy did he live up to his promise! Not only did everyone have their booties on the dance floor until the minute the party stopped, but I had more than 10 people ask me during the reception who he was and that they needed his info for their own event! Roberto has an easy to follow event planning form to keep you organized and help you plan each special song which is also great. He is an old school vendor who asks for nothing and gives it all- I would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing and upbeat DJ. If we ever have the need we will definitely go back to him. Thanks so much Roberto!!! read more

Roberto Monastero just DJ'ed and MC'ed for us at our September 1, 2013 wedding. We saw him DJ'ing at a friend's wedding a couple years ago, and knew we had to book him right away when we got engaged. He was the first vendor we booked - he is that good! He is BY FAR the best DJ I have ever encountered, and I have been to MANY weddings. He was very thorough and covered all the basics before the wedding. Then at the wedding, dinner music was spot on, and then he kept everyone dancing on the dance floor through the night...there not a single moment when the dance floor was empty. Song transitions were seamless while keeping in mind the audience on the dance floor. He played songs for the older crowd, younger crowd, and everyone in between. People were complimenting us all night on how fabulous he was, and how much fun they were having. As a surprise to us, he even sang a couple songs himself! That was amazing! He was so good, we thought it was part of a track! We would recommend Roberto to anyone looking for a DJ. He's awesome! read more

Roberto and his staff were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. We had them do a wedding for us a few weeks ago and everyone loved the music and had a great time. They mixed songs together and had a wide variety of music, from Sinatra to EDM to hiphop to Korean folk music. They were very laid back and flexible throughout the planning process and I always felt comfortable communicating with them. Even if you don't know exactly what you want, they will provide you with everything that you need. As Roberto said to me, all I had to do is show up and he was right! read more

Went to a wedding last night and our table pretty much agreed that the DJ was really really good. Kept the dancing going with no dead time and was overall a really nice guy. If I could re-do my wedding, I would hire Roberto. read more
