Rasmus & Christina Nielsen - 2.21.09

Hi Roberto - 

As Rasmus and I return from our honeymoon, we want you to know what a
wonderful job you did the evening of February 21st. So many of our
guests enjoyed themselves thanks to the soundtrack you provided. I'd
never been to a more musically enjoyable wedding - and neither had they!
You had guests of all ages out on the dance floor, and that's a hard
thing to do. Your intuition, preparation and experience really showed
though and we are grateful to you for brining those qualities to our
wedding.

Many thanks again - keep doing what you're doing! We hope to work with
you again some day soon.

Best,
Christina and Rasmus Nielsen

Toyama Wedding, San Francisco, CA - 7.29.07


Roberto,

Thank you THANK YOU so much for making the extra effort
to be at our wedding.  We know that you had a busy schedule that weekend, but flying out the morning of our reception was much appreciated. 

My mother was thrilled that you were there.  Our guests commented
several times--people have asked for your name, our playlist, etc.
One of my dad's good friends said he never dances but was out on the floor having a great time!

We loved having the music interspersed with the courses.
And Jesse and I were very much at peace knowing that the
reception was in your hands.

Thank you for coming out, and for working through some of the
difficulties.  Just wanted you to know that we know you went beyond the call of duty, and we're tremendously grateful.

I hope your journey back was smooth.

Thank you,

Nikki Toyama-Szeto

"Roberto,

We wanted to thank you so much for helping our day go so wonderful.  The music was great and we have received so many compliments on how fun our wedding was. 
According to my mom, the Hyatt (Oakbrook) had to 'sweep' everyone off the dancefloor at 12am!  I could only wish all weddings we went to had you as our DJ..."

Love,

Katie & Mike White

Jordan & Marlene Ho - 9.27.08

Hi Roberto!

Just wanted to say thank you for making our special day really "special" <- Cheesy, I know; but so true!
The wedding was perfect and couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks for making the whole music portion at the reception so easy. Thank you for all your help with moving chairs around and equipment and not pressuring me into singing to Jordan, rather nudging me to sing to Jordan (smile).

I know that you have heard so many compliments from all of your clients... But just know that I really mean it when I say "I could not have done it without you"

Don't be a stranger :)

Smiles,
Marlene

Hi Roberto!

Our guests are still talking about our wedding!  They thought it was so fun and it was great to see people dancing all night.  We just went to a wedding last night, and no one was dancing for about 5 songs in a row...it made us realize just how appreciative we are of how you did our wedding.  You rock!  And we will definitely recommend you to anyone we can!  Thanks again...

"Dear Roberto,

Our wedding ceremony & reception would not have been as fun, easy, or successful without your behind-the-scenes work.  You went above & beyond in helping us pull off the wedding and thank you from the very bottom of our hearts.  We plan on telling as many people as possible about you :)

Thanks again,

"Roberto,

Thank you so much for making the trip from Chicago for our wedding (in Madison WI).  The reception (at the Overture Center) was outstanding thanks in part to you! The music, commentary, and direction you provided were perfect.  We were thrilled with how much fun everyone hd and how many compliments we had about you & the music.  From our 1st planning meeting throught the last song of the night, you did a wonderful job.  Thanks again!"

Roberto –

 

Thank you so much for making our wedding memorable AND for staying the extra hour (even though I don’t remember much of it). I am glad that Nicole and I didn’t have to worry about the dance floor being full because you would make sure that it was. I received many compliments (even from my father, who doesn’t dance) about the job you did. It was a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to planning more weddings with you as a part of them.

 

Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

 

Regards,

Dru

Lodi & Schorsch Wedding - 6.20.09

Roberto (Monastero) is simply awesome! He is so upbeat & friendly; it definitely shows that he loves what he does. Everyone at our wedding had a wonderful time & they were all dancing the ENTIRE night due to the mere fact that Roberto knows how to rock the party. He played all of the top requested songs on my song list, stayed away from all of my black-list & mixed in some other good tunes as well. We all had a ball & we just love Roberto! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

Hyun & Marte Wedding - 6.13.09

Words cannot express how much we loved Roberto Monastero. He is the absolute best DJ in the Chicagoland area. He knows his music and can read a crowd. He can get everyone to dance and he's just so lovable! I had seen him at my friends' weddings and I changed our wedding date just so we can book him. He is booked a year or more in advance, so don't procrastinate! Thank you Roberto for our awesome wedding!

"Joe (Delfin),

Thank you so much for doing an outstanding job at our wedding.  Kurt and I had a wonderful time and so did our guests.  The goal was accomplished - leave the guests wanting more - and that is definitely what happened.  Thank you for working with us and making our day special..."


"Roberto,

Kurt and I would like to thank you so much for assisting us with the music arrangements for our wedding.  Everything went great and we really appreciate all of your effort & time."

Sincerely,

Dibbin/Holland Wedding - 7.25.09

Roberto:
 
Thank you so much for being such a great DJ at the wedding!!!  We had a blast!!  John told me (and sorry I didn't notice at the wedding) that you actually sang some of the songs during the reception -- so awesome!!! Everyone loved you -- I hope you had a good time, too!!!

Throckmorton Wedding - 7.18.09

We booked with Monestero Entertainment based on a recommendation from a friend and found Roberto to be fantastic! He was very down to earth, organized and understood exactly what we were looking for. They don't present themselves as a "cheesy" DJ, they are normal and will put on a professional show. The DJ that performed our wedding was Joe Delfin - he was high energy but on a good level, not obnoxious. He kept the dance floor packed and played the right type of songs for our guests. He stayed true to the list we asked him to play and more importantly not play.

I felt that they were extremely fair on their price and offered flexibility with changes right up until the day of the wedding.

Walsh & Gardiner Wedding - 1.3.09

Roberto,
Thank you so much for the excellent job you did at the reception!!  The music was great, and the dance floor was packed all night!  That was honestly the one thing that I wanted for the wedding.So many people came up to me that night and since then telling me how great the dj was.  And it was very helpful that you kept on eye out for everything.  My mom even told me she told you to turn down the heat and you took care of it.  (she didn't know you were the dj.)  Seriously though,you did such a great job, and out of everything for the wedding, you would be the only person I would recommend to anyone. 

So I'll recommend you for any weddings or parties that come up.  My younger sister will be getting married in the next few years, so hopefully we can see you then!

Thanks again for everything!
