Working with DJ Rob Velez was a pleasure. Although we had a set playlist that we had gone over with him prior to our wedding, he was able to feel out the crowd, switch some things up in order to keep everyone dancing and having a wonderful time all night long. Rob is a skilled DJ who knows what people want and how to keep the flow of the party going. He was extremely professional to work with and I would definitely recommend him.

Rob was a great DJ who listened to what we wanted, sprinkled some of the latest songs, and make the wedding a memorable experience. Cannot say enough about how professional the team was, from setting up to making the experience run smoothly, but thank you for everything - could not have asked for a better DJ and have been to 10+ wedding before my own!

Rob, it is so difficult to write reviews, but even more difficult when you want to leave the best review ever! Our wedding was everything we ever wanted and more and much of that is due to our amazing vendors who each were an integral part of it all. Our photo slideshow was perfect and your music choices were exactly right! You catered to our extremely diverse friends and famly and we was so pleased with that.The dance floor was always full of people having a blast--dancing like crazy! I have been with Matt for almost 7 years and I -- wait, no one has ever seen him dance like that! It was the highlight of the night. Thank you for your professionalism, enthusiasm, patience and for your overall commitment to our special event. We really appreciate it and it will be almost impossible to ever thank you enough. P.s. Matt, the groom, might have transformed into a mega dancer! Thanks Colorblind! I will forever highly recommend you. :)

Rob and Colorblind did a great job at our wedding! I would highly recommend them. People had a great time, dancing all night and we were even asked for their info for people who were getting married or wanted to pass it on to friends looking for a wedding DJ. Rob was very nice, easy to get in touch with and easy to work with from the start. Everything went perfectly with the dances and requests, it was great! If I had to do it over, I would use them again!

Colorblind Productions offers a fantastic service where they will DJ with your music. We opted for this and it was an excellent value. We expected hands off treatment b/c we'd picked this service but Rob was very helpful and involved. Rob has his own company and you really feel like you are dealing with a person not just a generic DJ. He listens to your music ahead of time to help understand your taste, gauges the action on the dancefloor and picks music that everyone loves. We were surprised by the amount of dancing at the wedding and even though it was music we picked we attribute it to Rob's skillful reading of the crowd. Rob is also an incredibly nice guy and very understanding about how stressed out and disorganized couples are. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob to anyone whether they need just the basics or full DJ services.

Rob was wonderful, I couldn't be any happier about the music! He really knows what to play to keep the party moving, and he really feeds off of the crowd. Everyone had such a wonderful time, and all of my family and friends kept talking about how great the music was. I saw people dancing that never ever dance; I'm really very satisfied. I highly recommend Colorblind!

I cannot speak more highly of anyone than I do for these guys. They are AWESOME! To the very last detail, they were there for me. The photos, video and music was exactly what we were looking for. Dianne and her little bag of tricks saved me more than once that day. They photographers were terrific. They accommodated me and made sure that I got everything I needed that day. The Dj and music was great also. We had guests there from all walks of life and Rob was able to make them all have a great time by making sure everyone's musical tastes were satisfied. Rob really worked with us to make sure that we had everything we needed. He even worked with me husband to bring in extra DJ equipement for him to use that day. My hubby DJ's also and Rob was able to set equipement up (just in case) he wanted to play. What DJ does that? It was perfect! He was more than great, he worked with us on every detail. I highly reccommend them to any couple looking to their wedding run smoothly and have everything be perfect. These guys will make sure that it is! Vanina and Junior:)

In the early stages of my wedding planning, I posted on many forums my search for a caterer that specialized in Spanish food. I never found my "Spanish Food" caterer but someone recommended Colorblind Productions and we booked them even before we had a venue!!! We used their whole company... photography, videography, DJ and event coordinating... and words cannot even describe what they did for us on our wedding day. If you want to have that personal attention and feel like a movie star... they are the ones to go with!!! Dianne and her assistant never missed a beat and took care of everything... literally! Dianne even drove me and my husband home after the reception after we failed to plan that part and no one else was able to take us! The photographers and videographers made us feel like moviestars! Rob had the dance floor packed the ENTIRE length of the reception.... our dance floor was never empty!!! Our guests still ask us what company we used as their quality of service was so apparent!!! There prices are the best in the business and there service is without a doubt THE BEST!!!!! We highly, highly, highly, highly recommend them and look forward to using them for future events!!!!

This is an awesome couple- and they do an awesome job at what they do! They provided us with DJ service as well as a "Day Of" Wedding Coordinator. They specialize in multicultural weddings and are bi-lingual (spanish/english) This was very important to us since we would have a lot of guests who only speak spanish. I cannot tell you how much easier Diane (the wedding coordinator) made my life. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her. She was always on top of everything (from making sure the bridesmaids had fans while they were standing at the altar during our outside ceremony, to bustling my dress and touching up my hair and makeup, to lining the bridal party up, to sowing up my dress when I ripped it up in like 3 places!) She's really amazing and I cannot rave about her enough. And that's not even the service that they openly advertise for!... DJ Rob was awesome- he was just what we wanted: a non obtrusive, non-tacky DJ that played music we liked, and we got just that. He played a lot of the songs on the "must play list". But he was able to get from that list the kind of music that we like, and played awesome music the whole time. I would recommend them to anybody. And their rates are amazing (especially if you account for a wedding day coordinator being in the package!). Whenver I have another party, I'll be sure to call them

Rob and Dianne were great. The dance floor was packed all night!! I was sore for two days from dancing all night. Many guests complimented the music selection. Dianne was very helpful all night long, making sure the bride and groom were happy : ) I think every guest at the wedding would use Colorblind Productions for their next event.

We highly recommend this company for your wedding. Me and my wife found out about Colorblind Productions through a friend. It was easy to set up an appointment, and they were clear about all of the services they provided. They made us feel comfortable throughout the process and answered every question we had. If it wasn't for them, our wedding wouldn't have been as fun as it was. EVERYONE was feeling the music and enjoying the party (they also offer photography and video services which look amazing, so check them out). If you are stressed out about wedding planning, you won't be stressed about the entertainment if you choose this company. All we did was give Rob (owner and our DJ) a few requests and he took care of the rest. He knows how to read the crowd and keep the party pumping. Rob helped make our night memorable in our hearts as well as those who shared that special day with us. The price was excellent, and the night was spectacular!

Colorblind Productions was outstanding on my wedding day! They were a dream to work with and managed to keep everything on schedule. I used them for coordination and video and they were probably the best decision I made for the day! Dianne was wonderful in allaying any anxieties I had during the day and keeping everyone happy. They were also such incredible value for their price. They were also very unobtrusive and blended in well with the guests. We were incredibly happy with their services and would recommend them to anyone.

> I thoroughly enjoyed making sure your day was everything you wanted to be. And it is now my claim to fame that I managed to get a Indian wedding to start ON TIME!

Choosing Colorblind Productions was one of the best decisions during our wedding planning. They did an Incredible job for our Photography, and had several people running around taking pictures from every angle, and our 2000 pictures came out amazing. Their DJ'ing was perfect...they listened to our preferences, and gave us exactly what we asked for. People still complement us on how much fun they had dancing at our wedding. We're waiting until our anniversary to watch the video, but again, they had people running around all day taking video, and the footage is over four hours long. And they went above and beyond what they had to do. Our favorite example of this is when Dianne came early when the girls were getting dressed. Instead of just waiting to take pictures, she was steaming dresses and helping the girls with their hair. On top of all this, Rob and Dianne are SUPER nice, and very cool to work with. Overall, I can't believe what a great job they did, and I recommend them to anyone who needs Photography, Videography and/or DJ.

Amazing! I hope my words can even begin to explain how wonderful this company is. We hired Colorblind productions for DJ, Video and Photography based on reviews I received from the knot. The company is owned by husband and wife Rob & Dianne Velez. Dianne handled my wedding along with 5 others. Dianne and 2 others showed at my house 1 hour early to set up and that was a big help. Not only did they get great shots of us getting ready they helped the entire time. Getting ready has never been so much fun!! They thought of every possible photo and video shot at my house and had everything under control. When my flowers came and my mother’s corsage was too big and poofy they helped to rearrange it beautifully. While at my house another photographer was at the church with the guys. The videographers split the time between both. After our ceremony we headed to Mindowaskin park which Rob recommended in our first meeting. I wanted a nice close place to take pictures and this was perfect. They knew all of the perfect shots and again it was so much fun! Oscar our DJ along with his assistant Flaco were amazing! He knew exactly what vibe we wanted set. He played music for everyone to enjoy (from oldies, pop, rock, rap, R&B, house, Spanish – you name it and it was played) and he mixed it wonderfully. My husband and I have been together since I was 16 (14 years!) and he mixed in a lot of music from the 90’s which was great. He even fit in (and not in a cheesy way) New Kids on the Block (I was a big fan back in the day and went to AC to see them for my bachelorette party) There was not one moment that the dance floor was empty and Flaco even got my husband to dance which he never does. Another highlight was when my husband danced with his sister as his mother and grandmother both passed away. They did not think of a song as it was last minute and told Dianne to just pick an old song from Puerto Rico – low and behold she picked the song my husbands grandmother used to sing to them (she had no idea) this brought my husband to tears – he was so happy and it was such an emotional and wonderful part of the night. The people at Colorblind did not feel like vendors at all. They were like family. They truly made our day special. They went above and beyond my wildest expectations from, making sure we both ate, scooping us away at the right times (I swear it was like Dianne read my mind lol), stopping the bartenders from serving the wedding crashers, going to 7-11 to get my husband coke (they only had pepsi at he venue and he pretty much only drinks coke and so much more. Everyone is raving about them from my wedding. I cannot stress how wonderful they are. Please do yourself a favor and check them out. You will not be disappointed. Their prices are unbelievable!!! I had friends and family who paid just for 1 service what I paid for all 3 who told me they wished they knew about colorblind when they planned their wedding.

To say that Dianne Velez is amazing is an understatement. We hired her husband to be a DJ and she comes along to give him a hand MCing. We then hired her to coordinate our ceremony and she did a fantabulous job! If not for her, the wedding would have not been as amazing or gone as smoothly. The fact that she is bilingual just made her even more wonderful—we had family visiting from Colombia and she was so helpful in terms of communicating with them. She comes armed with a fanny pack full of goodies and was able to repair my bustle twice (thanks for stepping on it, Mom…heehee) and set everything up for us. She made our bridal party feel comfortable and our two readers said they felt so much better thanks to her. Our friends asked for their contact information so they can book them in the future. Communication with them was wonderful and seamless. Rob was able to mix pop music for us and our friends with Spanish music for my Colombian family and friends. He mixed our entrance song with our first dance song perfectly. If you are looking for a non-cheesy, but entertaining DJ, Rob is your guy. AND, they are so affordable. Seriously, go book them. Now.

Hi. We rate Colorblind Production 5 stars. The staff was professional and very knowledgeable and put me at ease when it came time to finalize the details. We wanted our wedding to be a modern day "musical" and it was perfectly executed. We couldn't ask for more.

Colorblind was wonderful. They gave me everything I asked for and then some. I LOVED my slideshow at the reception and they even incorporated Christmas music into the reception because I got married near Christmas. They were never hard to get a hold of and really listened to my every wish. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

If I can give the more than 5 stars I would. They were my star vendor. GREAT JOB. Wouldn't think twice about booking them. Dianne and Rob did an amazing job with my many many cultures. Rob had the dancefloor packed the entire night and at the end of the night, the crowd was chanting, "One more song, one more song". My family raves about them. Dianne....she's wonderful, as soon I bustled my dress, someone stepped on it on it and ripped the bustle, so I was there like ok what do i do, I was about to tuck my train in my waist to keep it off the floor and here she comes with a tackle box full of stuff to fix things. So she fixed my bustle and throughout the night as I felt it fall, she was right there fixign it as I was dancing, didn't even know she was doing it. I also took my veil off and my hair got messed up, so in two seconds, she was back wtih bobby pins to fix it. They gave me a video that they took and they photo montage that was created. They did an amazing job and you would be crazy not to book them. In addiiton to my wedding, I have used them for many other occasions for my family and will continue to use them for all my events. Highly highly recommended.

Rob & Dianne did a fantastic job at my wedding. All of my guests talked about the music for weeks after my wedding and how much fun they had. I refer Colorblind Productions to all of my friends, co-workers, & family. I highly recommend them to anyone. They are practically part of my family and I will continue to use them for all future events.

Rob & Diane went far above and beyond just providing music at our wedding. They coordinated with everyone in our wedding party to make sure that our day was kept very special. We have used (and will continue to use) Colorblind Productions for many other special events in our lives.

I should point out that I chose the ipod DJ package where I supplied them with all of the wedding music and they DJ'ed with it. It was great because it provided me with the flexibility that I wanted for my wedding. I had a backyard wedding with about 60-70 guests. The issue with a traditional DJ is that our wedding was a long day and it would cost a fortune. We had a pre-ceremony cocktail hour at 1pm and the music didn't stop until 8pm. I set up different folders for pre-ceremony, ceremony, dinner and dance music and our DJ, Pete, did a great job with it. He was really pleasant and easy to work with. He came with a microphone and even set it up on a stand so that our officiant could use it. Pete was great with all of our guests. I noticed a lot of people (especially the groom) going over to request favorites. The best part was getting to hear songs you don't traditionally hear at weddings. The music was a total reflection of my husband and my music tastes, especially for the pre-ceremony and dinner music (we're into classic rock, indie and some folk). Once the dance party started, everyone was up dancing. This option is definitely a lot of work up front (downloading, making playlists, etc.) and not a HUGE savings (albeit a big savings) but it's a really great way to truly make the wedding your own. I wouldn't recommend just using an ipod on your own, but the Colorblind package provides the soundsystem and DJ'ing skills (fading, volume control, pace of dancing). Altogether, great job Pete and Colorblind!

Rob was awesome the day of the wedding. We had seen Rob in action at 3 other family events, so when we started planning the wedding we decided to give them a chance. We met up with them and clicked. My husband and I loved the fact that this was a married couple doing what they loved. When we sat with Rob a week before the wedding we were so happy to see that he had the music we wanted, and was on the same page as we were on the vibe we wanted for our big day. The day of the wedding Rob was fantastic. He was not only our DJ but stood in as our second videographer. He kept the vibe we wanted the whole night as well as kept the crowd on the dance floor. He stuck to the do not play list, and if anything came up he asked if he could play it before doing so. I would recommend them to others. The only small issue we had with them was they were sometimes slow to get back to emails, but responded very quickly to phone calls.

We had initially thought that we could do our wedding without a "day of" planner. We were very lucky that we changed our minds, and even more lucky that we went with Dianne. We met with Dianne a couple times before the event and immediately realized that she has a very hands on approach to the whole event. She listened to the ideas we had come up with and gave us some advice, without trying to put down what we had already done. In our case, we are both architects, so we had tried to work everything out ahead of time, as far as the space planning, table / lighting design went. Her suggestions helped us to round out all of the things we hadn't thought of and to know what the conventions are for schedule, design, etc. Closer to the event, Dianne was extremely helpful in arranging delivery of various things that we were renting and buying. On the day of the event, it is hard for us to describe how important she was to the set-up and execution of the whole day. Our event space was only open for us to set up at 1:00pm (for a 6:00 reception) and it was delivered with no decoration whatsoever. When I left the space at 3:00 (to get ready and go to the church), the rental company had screwed up and none of the tables were there. We left Dianne and her assistant Maggie with all of our descriptions of how the space should be. By the time we got there at 6:00 after the service, it was perfect. I don't know how they did it, but everything was exactly how we had planned it in our heads. I think that the best indication of how well she did her job is that Vivian and I were never even aware of the "behind the scenes". Dianne kept us blissfully unaware of all the various troubles that had arisen with the vendors, time of drop-off etc. Basically we glided through our wedding, with a full drink in hand, having a wonderful time with the people that are most important to us in the world. And for that we'll always be grateful. I think in our case the "day of" arrangement was perfect because of all the work we were willing to do ourselves. But if we were too busy to do it ourselves, I would trust Dianne's taste and design sense to do a "total wedding planner" arrangement.

> I loved your wedding! LOVED. You guys were so beyond adorable and in love and everything was so individually selected to reflect you both. I blogged about you!

simply amazing! they had everybody dancing all night long. the MC was very energetic... loved them!!!! The only bad thing is that it was hard to get in touch with the DJ. However, he made up for it with his amazing music! great prices too.

My husband and I were impressed with Colorblind Productions upon our first meeting. My family is African American and Cuban and my husband is English, so needless to say we had a big challenge in selecting music for the reception. The DJ was very patient and showed us many videos of different kinds of weddings to help us discover the "feel" of our wedding. He also let us pick and choose what services we need and customized the pricing to fit our needs. I was so busy before the wedding day that I didn't fully complete our "Play" and "Do Not Play" list. I was very worried b/c I'm very picky about music. I was worried for NOTHING. Everything was perfect during dinner and dancing. We didn't use the DJ for cocktail hour since the reception venue had music. Dianne was great, she came fully equipped with a bridal kit of necessities and was able to bustle my dress! My wedding was amazing and mostly because of DJ Rob and Dianne. All of my guests and family of ALL ages wanted to keep the party going! I highly recommend them!

We got married May, 2012. We came across colorblind Productions while looking for a DJ that could handle a diverse crowd. My family is from Jamaica, and England my husband is from the Dominican Republic. We had family members that did not speak English at the wedding. We both have a very diverse group of friends, from growing up in Brooklyn, NY and friends we made away in college years. And now we live in NJ. There were also our co-workers and clients. Many of my husband’s clients are Jewish. We are also Christians so we wanted good music but also clean. Considering everyone would be traveling to NJ for our wedding we really wanted to make sure everyone had a good time. We came across Rob’s website with Colorblind and met with him in his home. We were not 100% sure he was the right DJ after that meeting, but after the wedding we were 125% sure we picked the best DJ. They did a wonderful job working with Crystal Plaza and our minister at the ceremony. At the reception from the beginning they had everyone on the floor. I saw people dancing to music they have never danced to. Everyone just jumped in together and had a great time. This was also a day wedding but you would not believe it from the amount of fun we had. This is months later and people are still telling me this was the best wedding they have ever been too. They had so much fun. He played the best mix of dance, hip hop, reggae, R&B, bachatha, merengue, salsa, and Tipico. They only thing I would have liked to have been added was Calypso, but that did not change things. We have the time or our lives. We were so happy that we selected Colorblind for the most important day of our lives.

We used the iPod DJ package that Colorblind offers, which is such a smart thing to offer! We were set on picking the music ourselves, but were scared of the logistics. Then we found Colorblind, and for only a little more than what we would have paid to rent the sound system ourselves, they provided the equipment and someone to set it up, run it, mix the music, and tear it down at the end of the night. It was a great situation for us, and they were a real pleasure to deal with. As some other reviewers have said, it sometimes took a little while to get a response, but that's because they are small and busy, and for good reason.

I thought Dianne and Rob were great people, but there were some bumps along the way. They are both very busy people which often made them hard to get a hold of leading up to the wedding. I really appreciate people who respond to me somewhat quickly. On the wedding day there were a couple issues. Mostly minor, but still issues. I’d been assured there would be no problem with the microphone on the beach for the ceremony. Lo and behold, during the ceremony, the microphone was constantly breaking up - making it hard for most of our audience to understand. Dianne is meant to act more as a day of coordinator, and in many ways she did - but in some ways she did not. I had warned her that many people would not understand the tradition of the Jewish Hora. At the wedding, when the Hora was played I found that I actually ended up having to try to teach people to dance in a circle. I had to tell the men lifting me that they had to put me down (they thought they had to keep me up on the chair the entire song!) I also needed to find the parents to get them on the chair. At this point the chair was already put away and Dianne was nowhere in site helping me with this task. Rob, as a DJ, was trying to appeal to the entire crowd. So for example, at one point he began a row of oldies songs. After the 2nd song, when absolutely no one was dancing – he probably should have tried to switch it up a bit. Instead he played about 5 oldies songs in a row, of which, not many if any people danced. At the end of the night, when many of the older people left –he finally began playing current music from about 11pm – midnight. I kind of wished the whole night had been like this one hour. Also, Colorblind had to deal with the fact that the Ocean Place kept cutting them off at awkward moments. Totally not their fault. On the positive sides – our package included a candid photographer who shot pictures for the screen. He did an excellent job! He was not in our way at all and the pictures looked great (hopefully I can get those pictures?) Also, they made us a gobo and used different color lights all night that made it really feel like a party. Rob acted as a DJ and not someone who yelled at people to get on the dance floor – this was a good and bad thing. Good because he wasn’t annoying like I find many other DJs to be. Bad, because instead I was the one asking friends/family to get on the dance floor. As a whole, I am still really glad I picked Colorblind. The DJ was the hardest thing for us. I think we saw about 15 DJs before picking Colorblind. I think we made the right choice, but there was room for improvement. With Colorblind it is really an amazing VALUE you are getting.

While their responsiveness was delayed, probably due to the amount of clientelle they are working with, the service is great and they are extremely flexible and absolutely easy to work with.

I am really disappointed with this business. He let me and my husband down and my bridal party down as well. He made a lot of mistakes during the reception and during cocktail hour as well. I gave him a list Of music we wanted played during cocktail hour and he didn't play any music at all. They are unprofessional and I wouldnt recommend him to anyone at all. He doesn't mix his music smoothly and is choppy with it.

> We take feedback very seriously and always solicit commentary to improve our service. Although we are disappointed by this review, we have looked into our performance for this wedding and have had the opportunity to discuss the event in person with the bride and groom and further understand their specific issues. Though we felt we delivered on our promise of a great music experience, ultimately our responsibility was to the couple and we are deeply sorry for their initial disappointment. We are grateful to see that the review was made in the heat of the moment and before our clients understood the limitations we faced that we could not control and why we chose not to bring them up on such an important date. Ultimately the wedding was an amazing success and the video and photos showcase that. We are happy to have seen this same couple since at other family events that have used our services since their wedding.
