Check out our latest reviews on Wedding Wire.

When looking for a DJ for our wedding event we looked all around western and central NY for the best prices, and the most experience we could find. Our searches landed us on Rob Linton who runs Special FX. His prices were very reasonable and he has an excellent amount of experience in a large variety of events. The ease of working with him getting every little detail perfect for our special day was a relief in the bustle of wedding planning. On the event day he was ready with plenty of time to spare. Knowing that we would be spending most of our time walking around and greeting everyone, it was a great feeling to know that everyone was having a blast, and that was because of the great quality provided to us by Special FX.

I have nothing but great things to say about Rob and everything he did to make our wedding day so special. All the music was on point and he did an amazing job of creating the environment we wanted through his song choice and timing. We provided him with lots of artists and some specific songs we wanted and he played every single thing we wanted to hear without fail. He also totally rolled with it when we changed the schedule of events up on him multiple times! Having someone with Rob’s experience and attention to detail was the best decision we made for our wedding. We had so many people compliment us on the DJ and on the music played, all ages included! We will definitely be recommending Rob to all of our friends and family and we truly thank him for making our wedding perfect.

Rob is kind, fun, professional and super talented! He made sure he had everything we wanted and was very organized and precise. The night couldn’t have been more perfect, thanks to Rob. He had our guests on the dance floor from beginning to end. We got tons of comments about the music, lighting and energy from the DJ Booth. Thank you Rob for being so incredible and keeping the party alive! You’re the best 🙂

Working with Rob was a dream. He helped us through the entire process until we felt comfortable with all of our music choices and decisions. He was extremely reasonably priced and his services were well worth it. I would recommend him to anyone with the need for a DJ.

Rob was laid back and really easy to work with. His musical choices for our wedding were perfectly on point and people were dancing all night. 5 stars, 10/10, one of the best choices we made for our wedding.

Rob was not only our dj, he was also our officiant! He was extremely knowledgeable about music, but also super personable. We found Rob on the wedding wire. He did an amazing job with getting the vibe right for our reception. Even though there was only formal dancing he still helped make the night very memorable. We would recommend Rob for any event and if you need an officiant as well!

I selected Rob as our wedding DJ after attending my brother’s wedding. He did an excellent job of balancing professionalism and fun, so we had high expectations for him. However, we did not know that Rob would be very easy to work with long distance from our Florida home. He catered to our unique needs for an outdoor reception in Canandaigua, NY and he also drew on his vast experience to help us plan the flow of the reception when we asked for guidance. Having rob as our DJ has been a great experience; you can be sure it’s one less thing to worry about when planning any big event.

Rob was professional and was very easy going. We had a lot of special requests for our reception that involved a lot of focus and quick transitions. Rob handled these requests with ease and seemed so excited about DJing our wedding. We were still making changes the week of the wedding and Rob was so helpful and quick to respond to our changes and requests. Highly recommended!

Kim – Kendall, NY

Rob was the perfect addition to our 40th class reunion! He played all our “oldie but goldie” favorites, transporting us back to the spring prom of 1974, only without the acne.  Without him and his music, Dullsville, man!  Thanks again, Rob for invigorating the “scene!”

Jason and Alissa – Farmington, NY

Rob did an amazing job making our day absolutely perfect! I don’t know what we would of done without his great advice and support throughout the whole process. He was so professional going over every detail of our wedding to make sure it was perfect for us!  He helped make our entire day run smoothly from our ceremony to keeping everyone dancing all night long! Everyone at the wedding raved about the great mix of music that was played and the smooth transitions from song to song! We would recommend Rob to all of our friends and family for any of there special events!

When planning my daughter’s 16th birthday party, a friend recommended Special FX DJ Service. We couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to hire them. DJ Rob Linton worked with us before the event to ensure he had all the music my daughter and her friends liked and kept the party going with a great mix of music, night club-style lighting and friendly competitions. The kids had a blast. We have since recommended Special FX DJ Service to friends.

Laurel – Webster, NY

Rob Linton – you are an amazing DJ. You did a wonderful job! Everyone was dancing most of the night. Thanks again!

Cindy – Hilton, NY

We shared our special day with our DJ Mr. Rob Linton on July 21, 2012. He was amazing! He was everything we were hoping for. He had almost every single person out on the dance floor and played everything we wanted him to. He was early when we met with him before the wedding, and the day of the wedding. He is nice as can be. Everybody enjoyed him at the wedding. He announced everything, like our dances, cake cutting, and made it very fun with the bridal bouquet toss and garter toss and made our special day even more special. Rob’s prices are very reasonable for the amount of time we had him. He is one amazing DJ! If you need a DJ go with Rob Linton, he will NOT let you down. Thanks again Rob!

Adam and Jennifer – Hilton, NY

Rob Linton was a wonderful DJ for my daughter’s epic Sweet 16! I pride my self on throwing the kinds of parties that are different from the norm, and the fun that Rob added was a perfect compliment to the style I was going for! He was so easy to work with, from choosing the date right through to adapting to the environment we had chosen for the party. He has all the current music the kids want as well as the old dance music everyone loves! He really got the party rocknig with his initiation of games and dances, and made the birthday girls feel special! I would love to call Rob again for future parties! Thanks, Rob!
