Thank you so much for all that you did to help make our wedding so festive and magical. The music was fantastic, and you came across as hip and fun, while also being a calm and unobtrusive presence. It was just what we were looking for in a DJ. And even though I had originally told you I didn't need you to do any announcing, you gracefully stepped in when I looked to you for help before cutting the cake. You were professional, but relaxed and confident. Many of our guests complimented us on our choice of DJ. You were perfect addition to the day.
Thanks again for being such an integral part of our celebration,
Julie & Ned

DJ Bob Cronin: A+
Bob was excellent. Absolutely no cheese, just simple great music. Steve and I are diehard music fans and do not tolerate cheesy songs...our cocktail and dinner music was awesome, everything we asked for. The dance music was also great. The dance floor was full the entire night...from my 11 year old cousin to my 83 year old grandma. Perfect!
-Kristen and Steve DeGrandis, August 2004

Bob, The feedback about Saturday was great. The kids have told me that it was as much fun as the prom and you were the reason. I will definitely recommend you to others. As far as I'm concerned, working with you was terrific. You were responsible, responsive, fun and a fabulous DJ, with something for everyone.
Thanks again,

Bob Cronin DJ'd the main Saturday Night Dinner and Dancing event at our 20th Harvard Reunion and we literally danced the night away! Every interaction was a pleasure; not only is Bob a fabulous DJ, with an extensive and diverse play list, a sense of how to keep the party going and read the crowd, a willingess to take requests, and a "go with the flow" attitude (it poured on our event, which meant constantly changing logistics and scheduling) but he's a supreme professional, handling every aspect of his business with courtesy and care.
I'd hire him for any event.

This year more than ever the Bureaucrat's Ball success/failure hinged on the DJ (that is a lot of pressure to put on one man) and for the second year in a row Bob stepped up to the plate and hit one out with his performance. It is a drastic understatement to say that the Kennedy School crowd is an extremely diverse and very difficult group to play for and to please. However, Bob found a way to get everyone dancing the whole night. We even begged for an encore, but were shutdown by the hotel staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Bob for any occasion!

I would definitely recommend Bob Cronin to anybody looking for a DJ for their party. He played a great mix of music, kept the dancing going, and was extremely receptive to all kinds of requests, which is so key for a successful dance party.

-Beth Hochman, Harvard Hillel

DJ BC offers a versatile collection of hits, which he spins with great skill, creating a lively and pumping atmosphere for any party. His ecclectic tastes and offerings allow for a wide range of music - if you're a Britney follower, or a die-hard '80's fan, or a disco queen, DJ BC can cater to anyone's musical whims. Even the holdovers from the grunge era of the early '90s. He responds to all kinds of requests and environments and will turn any venue into a kicking fiesta!

-Charlotte Houghteling, Crimson Key Society

Thanks again for doing such a great job DJ'ing for our party last weekend. We were all so happy that we were able to get you on such short notice! The music that you played was perfect for both the occasion and for our mixed crowd...you really helped to create a "festive" atmosphere. (And, we were especially impressed that you not only played all of our requests, but even came equipped with SALSA music!)
I'll definitely recommend you to anyone who may be looking for a DJ, and if we need one ourselves in the future, I hope that you'll come.

-Nancy Iida

Bob Cronin did a fantastic job with our event. The music was great, and he happily accommodated song requests from the guests. Overall, Bob handled the party in a very professional manner. We look forward to using DJ BC in the future, and we would definitely recommend that others hire him for their events.

-The Officers of the Hasty Pudding Club

I worked with Bob Cronin at a party with over 500 people. I believe a critical part of its success was Bob as DJ. The selection was perfect. People today are still commenting on what a fun time they had and what a great time they had dancing. In terms of working with Bob, he was dependable, even showing up early; he was responsive to my music suggestions both before and during the event; and finally, he was able to make his own recommendations to make the event a great success. I would highly recommend Bob Cronin for any function.

Thanks Bob- you're the best!! I really had a great time dancing to your music on Friday. You are a terrific DJ and I'll do my best to spread the word.

-Rachel Hitch, JFK School of Government

Bob: I thought you did a great job. As a professional sales person I liked your style of coming in and listening to me beforehand to understand what my needs were. You executed my wishes in a large part because you did this. You were helped, obviously, by your wide selection of music and your own skill set. So, all in all, you did a great job at playing the perfect music for that kind of scene.

The feedback from my guests has been all positive as well. I think our idea of building up the music in which we moved from R&B; to Funk and then to Dance/House was a great idea. I would recommend you to anyone and I am interested in hiring you again for a December party. We can talk about that later.

Thanks again. Stay in touch.

-Dave Boyle

You know we think you are great, which is why we want you back again next year! Your choice of music was absolutely appropriate to the occasion, just as it was last year. Your tunes created just the right sort of celebratory mood.
I like that you include lesser known music, as most dj's tend to stick with a certain type of trendy genre as opposed to the creativity of your selection. We definitely need to slate you in for next year.

-Lourdes Gomez, Harvard College Admissions

Recommendation for Bob Cronin, Super DJ :)

As a social chair for my sorority finding a DJ for our winter formal was a huge deal. Our formal is the main event of the semester, and the closer to perfection we get, the happier we are, which is why we don't take choosing a DJ lightly!

We found Bob Cronin through word-of-mouth, and I contacted him immediately. Within a few hours, we were already negotiating. Right away, he seemed enthused, helpful, and understanding. Not only was he available on short notice, but he was able to meet with me before the formal to work out any kinks. He seemed to be as devoted as the sorority was to make the formal terrific.

At the formal itself, girls raved about the music; some said that it was the best yet. He had a terrific mix, and seemed to know when was the right time to play that popular 80's song or change to a slow song. When our formal had to wind down early, he still kept his good spirits about him.

All in all, I've never been more pleased with a DJ. When the music is perfect and the DJ is affordable, the formal is just bound to be a success. I would recommend him to anyone.

Sincerely,

Oh, What a Night!
Mark your calendars upperclass students because the 1999 President's Ball is only one year away.
Upperclassmen, graduate students and even visitors from Yale joined the class of 2001 at the annual administration-hosted gala event on Saturday, March 14.
The music drew an enthusiastic crowd...The music was great and the dancing was fast, a very un-Harvard party.

-Barbara E. Martinez

If you're throwing a party where you think that it would be great if everyone was standing around, holding warm drinks, eating all the chex mix, and saying things like "So, what did you think of the Seinfeld Final Show ?" and "Wow ! 11:15 I didn't know that it was so late !" then I do NOT think hiring DJ BC would be a good idea. In fact, it would be terrible.

However, if you want people dancing like freaks and having a great old time, then he's the man. When he spun for a house party I threw in Somerville, people wanted to stay til dawn and talked about how much fun they had for weeks. He'll play all the songs that you want to hear, plus all the ones that are twice as hoppin' that you forgot about. Have Fun !

-Justin Blumenstiel

Dear Bob,
Joyce and I want to thank you for your splendid service! With our extended and involved families, you always made sure we were in the loop with the music flow. Even with multiple family members making unusual requests! Your music selection and timing was impeccable throughout the event, and your announcing style was warm, friendly and professional. Your DJ'ing style allowed you to be involved with the dancers but not overwhelming with unnecessary talk.
Any future couples who book you will be please with your relaxed, knowledgeable and flexible style. We are tremendously pleased that you were involved in our special day.
Good luck with the DJ'ing business!!

-Matt and Joyce DeGreeff

Dear Bob,
I'm still dancing!! I just wanted to take the time to thank you for participating in the Jack and Jill shower for my cousin Stacey in July. Not only were your selections to our request for disco music right on the money, but watching you "bust up the dance floor" with us was great. I have recommended you to everyone I know planning a party and can't wait for the next one.

-Kathleen Bray

Once again, you did a fantastic job with our party downtown at the Prudential Center - the selection of music you had was superb - I really enjoyed the more mellow stuff at the beginning before the rush. We appreciated your flexibility with the short notice as well as with the interruptions during the party.
Last spring when you did our end of the year party, again, the music was great and everyone had just a terrific time - we heard about you from the Admissions office who also felt that you did a great job with Freshman week last year. I actually prefer using student vs. outside DJs because I just feel like you relate to us and have a better understanding of what we like (which you clearly do!)
I would be more than happy to recommend you to other student groups on campus - please tell any of your clients to feel free to call or e-mail me. In fact, if anyone asks me about a DJ, your name will be the first one I mention!

Sincerely,
Jessica Wu

Hey Bob, Now that the prefrosh have headed home I wanted to take a moment to thank you for DJ-ing the Ice Cream Bash. Everyone who attended the program in past years felt the music was a tremendous addition to the event. Your selection was terrific! We would love you to do it again next year. Thanks so much for your help!
Cheers,

The other night I had this girl over and she tried to pin me down by asking me what kind of music I listened to. I tried to explain my stance of passionate eclecticism towards music, suggesting that I like anything as long as its good. She was shocked by skimpy music collection and simply couldn't understand. So I played her a mixed tape of yours and said something like: you wanna know what I like? This is what I like. I realize that I depend on you for my musical fix. You are one of the few DJs (that i have easy access to) that understands. I think that should be your motto: DJBC---he understands. Please send a new mixed tape ASAP. I can send you a blank tape if you are short on cash.
