Party Time on a School Night, I hear you ask - hell yeah!

Had an absolutely awesome night, last night helping Phil and Anne (from The Foresters, Farnham Common ) who hosted a Halloween Party at their home for their son Spencer and his friends.

Complete with a fabulous Stilt Walker who did an amazing Fire Show, followed by a stunning firework display. Even the low fog machine got into the spooky mood and decided it wasn’t going to stop until we couldn’t see anything 😊😂😂

An incredible night and fun for everyone ( including me)

Now this has been borrowed from a fellow DJs page and in terms of almost every event - it’s very much to the point!

Avoid These DJ Disasters! DJ Justin’s Ultimate Tips for a Legendary Wedding Dance Floor!

Hey there, future Mr. and Mrs.! Justin here, your resident DJ from Rob Lawes Entertainments. I’m here to spill the tea on how to turn your wedding reception into an epic night that’ll have everyone talking (and nursing sore feet) for days. So let’s dive right into the must-dos and the absolute don’ts to make sure your big day ends on a high note, pun totally intended.

Do: Give Your DJ a Vibe, Not a Bible

We get it, you’ve got music taste! But remember, handing me a 100-song playlist is like handing me a musical prison sentence. You hired a DJ to make your life easier and your party better, so trust us to keep the night jumping. Tell me the kind of vibe you want: “We’re thinking ‘90s throwbacks” or “A mix of pop and classic rock that’ll get Aunt Edna and my college friends on the same dance floor.” Then, sit back and let me work the magic.

Don’t: Book a Cathedral for 40 People

Imagine this: your DJ’s cranking out Mr Brightside, but there are only 40 people scattered across a venue that could host the Olympics. Sound weird? That’s because it is weird. Huge venues swallow sound, and even the best DJ in the world can’t create a lively atmosphere if there’s enough space for a football game between the dance floor and the bar. A cozy venue, on the other hand, makes the energy electric!

Do: Don’t Skimp on the Pros, Hire That Photographer and Videographer!

Sure, Uncle Bob has a “nice camera,” but believe me, you’ll thank yourself later if you go for the pros. A professional photographer and videographer know how to capture every amazing moment, from your friends tearing it up on the dance floor to that impromptu conga line led by Grandma. These are the memories you’ll want to relive in crystal-clear detail, not as blurry blobs on someone’s phone! And trust me, once the night’s over, you’ll regret not having those incredible photos and videos to look back on.

Do: Allow for Some Surprises

Yes, you’ve chosen your song for the first dance, the father-daughter song, and maybe even a party starter or two, but give your DJ some room to read the crowd! You’ll be surprised how much a well-timed throwback hit can make even the grumpiest guest forget they’re holding a drink and just go for it. That’s the beauty of a pro DJ we know when to drop that guilty-pleasure tune that’ll get everyone moving.

Don’t: Turn Your DJ Booth into a Free-For-All Jukebox

Sure, your guests mean well when they keep suggesting “Play Sweet Caroline!” (spoiler: we will play it eventually). But too many requests turn your DJ into a musical order-taker, not the master of ceremony you hired us to be! If you want to encourage song requests, go ahead, but set a few boundaries, or you’ll end up hearing every “unique” song suggestion from here to Tuesday.

Do: Light Up the Party – Literally!

Adding light-up batons, glow sticks, or fun props like party shades can crank the atmosphere up by a mile! These small touches are absolute game-changers on the dance floor. Imagine your guests waving colorful glow batons during I Gotta Feeling, it turns a good party into a legendary one. And who doesn’t look fabulous in oversized shades? Plus, these props loosen up even the most shy guests, so before you know it, everyone’s letting loose and lighting up the night!

Don’t: Kill the Lights Too Soon

Mood lighting is your friend, and while those chandeliers may be dreamy, a little low lighting goes a long way. When people can see everyone else on the dance floor, they’ll feel shy about letting loose. But dim the lights just right, and bam they’re much more likely to go wild. Plus, I look even cooler with my DJ lights flashing in the dark.

Do: Be Open to a Little Cheese (Trust Me)

Look, there’s a reason why songs like YMCA and Don’t Stop Believin’ are crowd-pleasers. They bring people together, young and old. Even if it’s not your vibe, your grandma will light up when she hears a bit of ABBA, and before you know it, she’s showing your cousin’s date how to properly twirl to Dancing Queen. Trust me, a sprinkle of cheese is like salt it makes everything tastier.

The Serious Party Pooper: Drunk Guest Drama

Alright, here’s a serious tip: Don’t let your party be hijacked by that one drunk guest. You know the type, maybe it’s your cousin, maybe it’s your college buddy, or maybe it’s a complete wild card. They start out requesting a song or two, but before long, they’re giving me cut-throat gestures from the middle of the dance floor, demanding I stop the song they don’t like. It’s awkward, it’s distracting, and, yep, sometimes it can even get a little…threatening!

Look, I’m all for the energy and enthusiasm, but if this guest becomes too much, I’ll have no choice but to pause the party until they’re escorted out my booth area. I’m here to make sure everyone has a good time, and that means I can’t have one person spoiling the mood. Let’s keep the fun rolling and leave the drama for the soap operas!

Bonus Pro-Tip: Offer your DJ a trip to your buffet or a soft drink (Hey, we’re Human too)

This may sound trivial, but a fed DJ is a happy DJ. If I’m well-fed, I’m more likely to stay energized and throw my all into those last few hours. Plus, a hungry or thirsty DJ isn’t exactly the life of the party. So toss a little love my way, and I’ll make sure every second is unforgettable.

In summary: Trust your DJ, embrace a little spontaneity, keep things cozy, add some fun props, handle that one guest, and whatever you do don’t hand me a list longer than my arm or give me a dance floor in a different postcode from the bar. Follow these tips, and we’ll be lighting up that dance floor!!

Zoe & Connor celebrated their Wedding Day in style at a lovely little hidden gem in Blackmoor, yesterday, with family and friends travelling far and wide to be there with them.

I was privileged to provide their entertainment - packed with the cheesiest party anthems that packed the dancefloor from start to finish and saw smiling faces on everyone. We also added a cheeky surprise for their 1st dance, that only Connors Dad and I knew about - The Sparkular Spectacular! and the Ooo’s, Aaah’s and Gasps when I first fired them made it worthwhile.

Huge thanks to Micky for entrusting me to entertain you all and especially to
my ‘right hand’ man Karl Curtis who spent most of the evening sorting our van out - after we had to abandon it with a blow out on the way to the event, but he sorted it so we could pack away and load out on time.

Congratulations to the Happy Couple and hope to see you all again soon

I had the distinct pleasure of being alongside the fabulous 19Eighties band to help celebrate the wedding of Chris & Helen at the wonderful New Place Hotel, Hampshire - managed by Legacy Hotels & Resorts, last night, and WoW…..What a night!

As usual Marcos, Johanna and Lenin (the 19Eighties) were on top form - bringing those 80’s party vibes and getting the dancefloor rockin and setting the scene for the best party anthem session from yours truly to bring the evening to a close. The newlyweds and their family & friends, jumped, bounced and could have brought the roof down with their singing and antics towards the end 😊👍🏻🪩🕺💃

A massive thank you to the amazing attentive and supportive staff at the venue for looking after us and to Marcos and the band for always entrusting stevierobb.com to support you.

Congratulations to the happy couple - wishing you both many years of happiness ahead

We had the absolute pleasure in helping Debs celebrate her birthday in style at the fabulous Harleyford Golf Club alongside the amazing 19Eighties band and, from TV’s Stars In Their Eyes, Tony as that wonderful Welsh crooner - Tom Jones.

A great night was had by all and I’m sure there will be some very sore feet tomorrow

Huge Thanks goes out to Marcos, Johanna and Lenin (who are THE 19Eighties band) for everything, to the fantastic staff at the venue and to Debs and her husband John for your generous hospitality.

Happy Birthday Deb 😊🥳🍾🥂💃

This is Karl, my right hand man at stevierobb.com and his ‘roomie’ decided a surprise party was in order - so yes, it had to be done ! 😊😊 “ SURPRISE “ …… the look on his face when he was coerced to the pub was 💯 - don’t worry buddy, you’re forgiven for not being there for the load in and set up 😂😂😂😂

An absolutely fantastic night with friends, former colleagues from Cosentino and regulars at his local- full of mayhem and mischief with Santa and his naughty Gnome… and a defrosting Mariah 😂😂

Thanks to Kenneth and Ally for arranging and coercing and to Sarah and everyone at the Oak in Oakridge for making me welcome - Happy Birthday Karl 😊👍🏻🪩🕺🎉🥳🎂🍺🍻🍺

WoW! I can officially announce that without a shadow of doubt, we had the privilege of entertaining at THE best Wedding, in the middle of a field, in the middle of The South Downs, with the finest 1980’s band ever - 19Eighties, with the best guests you could ever wish for!

We had the best time ever helping Sophie & Scott celebrate their big day - and what a day. Starting of with their celebrant then moving into the marquee for the Wedding Breakfast, courtesy of a mobile Egyptian Street Food Kitchen, followed by the Speeches and the obligatory Ice Cream van and the mobile specialty Coffee crafting van… and then that first dance - and the party started! …. Before to mobile wood fired Pizza Truck turned up …. I’ve never EVER seen so many Pizzas made 😱😊😂.

The amazing 19eighties ( Marcos, Johanna and Lenin) absolutely ‘knocked it out of the park’ and the guests loved every second of their sets and when we went on to the finale with your truly, the guests we definitely in party mode 😊😂🎉🪩. It was one of those gigs you simply didn’t want to end … so we didn’t 😂😂😂 well, not on time 😊😉😉😉

Congratulations Sophie & Scott, thank you for your generous hospitality and for looking after us, may you have decades of happiness ahead and a huge thanks to Marcos and the 19Eighties for your constant support
