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

Roberto was definitely our favorite vendor for our wedding. He is completely professional, approachable, and accommodating. He was totally attentive to all our requests and those of our guests. It was evident that everyone had a blast at our wedding and I have to credit Roberto to that. We got married in May and our family and friends are still talking about it!
I think it's your DJ that runs the show. I wish we could get married again so that Roberto could be our DJ. One of my friends who was at the wedding asked me who our DJ was and said that if he ever gets married, he'd want Roberto to DJ. My friend doesn't even live in the state of Illinois!
I hope this reference helps you make your decision for a DJ. I promise you will be very happy with Roberto and RSM Productions. Good luck!

Roberto –

It was nothing short of a pleasure having you DJ our event in Skokie this past weekend.  You pulled it off seamlessly and professionally.  You kept the crowd energized and moving, providing us with a great lifetime memory.   I’m sure you have many already, but let me know if you ever need a great reference, especially from an out-of-state ‘very happy’ customer. 

Thanks Roberto!

Lenz Wedding - 6.22.08

Hi Roberto,
 
I wanted to send you a note to say thank you for the AMAZING job you did at our reception!  EVERYONE raved about the music! We were so pleased!!  You are a true professional and master of your craft!  Our professional photos were posted today and as I looked through them I could not believe how crowded the dance floor was... everyone from my 70 year old aunts and uncles to our 1 year old niece were dancing to the music!  You had a song to suit everyone! 
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful job you did! 
 
Should you ever need a reference, please feel free to call on us!
 
Kind Regards,
Ann Lenz

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

Casey & I just wanted to say thank you so much!  You were amazing; everyone loved the music and no one sat down for the rest of the night which is exactly what I loved!  I've gotten so many compliments on the music and I just wanted to tell you...
Thanks also for being organized; you were the only vendor who gave us zero hassle or trouble and we'll recommend you to anyone we know getting married!  We can't thank you enough; I think you have a following in Canada now :)

All the best,

Joanna & Casey Hayes
PS - If you eer need us to be a reference or anything, just let us know - we are more than happy to help!

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...

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,

Wow! Roberto truely did take our wedding to another level.  We have had 
repeated praises from our guests. Our dance floor was never empty - except to
cut the cake. So far we have had 3 guests ask for Roberto's contact info. You
were a huge part of making our night amazing - we can not put into writing how
wonderful everything went - What a party to say the least.

Thanks,

Thank you so much for a wonderful night of music and emceeing at our wedding last month!  We had a great time and we know that our guests did as well!  We really appreciate the talent you brought to our reception and are now enjoying the hilarious clips of our friends and family dancing on the videos and DVD's that have been shared with us :) 

It was a whirlwind of a time, but wonderful! 
 
Thank you!!!

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

Grelecki Wedding - 5.31.08

Dear Roberto

(Our wedding day) was the best day of my life, and it's not even close.  I guess that's how it's supposed to be, right?  The whole day went as smooth as can be and it was nice to see all the effort and planning we put it was well worth it.  Ervin was awesome!  The lighting was a sweet touch as well.  It really tied the whole thing together.  My thanks to you both for the entire process.  From the very beginning it was nice to have our agreement/arrangement/friendship in my pocket, knowing that once we talked that was the last I needed to concern myself with the music for the wedding.  I was supremely confident it would be taken care of perfectly.  Just as I though it was just terrific - the whole thing.  Thanks so much.  You guys truly rock!

Have no fear anytime I need anything with musical accompaniment you will be the first person I contact.

Kevin (and Nicole) Grelecki

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.

Saturday June 2009 06:00 PM

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!

"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."

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!

Roberto,

Now that the wedding is over, we just wanted to send a quick thank you to you for all of your hard and dedicated work.  Thank you so much for making our wedding so special and perfect for us.  As soon as we first  met with you, we knew that you would do an exceptional job, and we were right.  Your overall selection of music and knowledge of reading the crowd were great - we have been recommending your services most highly!  Next time we are in town, we are going to try to stop by (Monastero's) to say hello!

Sincerely,

Jessica & Brian Fish

Dear Ervin & Roberto


It was an amazing night and great party.

Everything was wonderful. Thanks for working with us and believe me, if we need a DJ or a band, we are coming right back to you guys.

I’ll be recommending you as well to a few of my girlfriends who are planning weddings!

Everyone has been raving about what a great DJ you were! Thank you so much for all that you did for us. Many guests commented that this was the first wedding that they've been to where the dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone (from kids to grandparents) was enjoying themselves out there!
By the way...we're one of the first few couples of our friends group to get married, so expect to receive several calls in the next few years as more of them get engaged.
We can't thank you enough for making our wedding so much fun!  You're the best.
