Colorblind Productions

DJ and Gobo
Rob and his assistant played a really good mix of Portuguese, Arabic, and American music. He only made the announcements I had asked, no annoying singing or clapping or whatever on the dance floor. He played music during the cocktail hour for no extra cost. The gobo they did matched the design used on all my paper products, it was perfect. Their prices are also great.
In the beginning they were a major pain in the butt to get in touch with, I almost went with someone else because of that. The other thing I didn’t like was the giveaways, the plastic junk, hats, glow in the dark necklaces, leis, etc. I did not ask for them or pay extra, and they still made an appearance. It totally did not go with the vibe of the wedding, but people seemed to enjoy them.

Video
Video was not important to me, I wanted to have it, but I didn’t want to spend a ton of money for special montages, or other crazy effects. Rob showed me some samples of their videos, they were well taped and edited, perfect for me! The day of the wedding the videographers showed up at my mom’s house, and at D’s house on time, they taped everything, they were always in the background at the ceremony and reception taping. Once I receive my video I will give a full review.

* * Dianne, she is Rob’s wife and co-owner, she is amazing, the day of the wedding she was more like a DOC than videographer. She had everything, a pin, a band-aid, she re-sprayed my hair at the reception, kept asking if I needed something, always telling me to relax, letting me know how everything was going etc. It’s worth hiring her husband just to have her at your wedding. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did.* *

In one word OUTSTANDING… They don’t get that much publicity, but they are excellent. Rob is so pleasant and Dianne is a sweetheart… They did an excellent job balancing the music of my three different cultures. Sometime during the night Dianne came over to me and told me that someone was asking for the mic and I told her not to allow anyone to use the mic….she handled it in such a professional manner and of course never said that it was me who didn’t want to allow the usage of the mic. They are really great vendors to deal with and so under priced!!!

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

Photography, DJ, Videography, Wedding Planning

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!!!!

They are, by far, my favorite vendors so far. Dianne is really on top of everything and easy to talk to. She gave me so many ideas and made sure everything I want is on track. Rob has DJ'd so many of my friend/family parties that I had NO worry whatsoever when it came to the music. It was a perfect blend of our style of house and club, eckectic indie and punk favorites for my husband and plenty of portuguese music to keep the family going. I'm using them for video, plasma screens and the slide show with a same day video edit of the ceremony.

DJ: Rob Velez at Colorblind Productions. Another fantastic vendor. Rob played all the songs we wanted to hear and his mixes were perfect. He stayed away from any cheesy, dorky wedding music (no “We are Family” or “Celebrate Good Times”) and his assistant worked closely with our photographer and us to keep all the special reception moments on time so we could focus on hanging out with everyone. His DJ packages were also very affordable. We were really lucky to find him!

Colorblind Productions is more than what we expected, we used almost all of the services: DJ, Video, Photography (free lancers), Plasma TVs, Video Montage, Thank You DVDs (Rob put together an amazing piece that we sent out to all our guests, which they all loved) and Wedding planning with Dianne.

I think the following answers to the questions below will explain more of how i feel about Colorblind Productions...

What were things you liked? the way they had everything covered (how can I say it... pretty much they knew when, where, how things were done and how to get things done.) the music was wonderful, they hit on everything we wanted. Rob even did this intro to coming into the reception with a collaboration of music that my husband wanted since we couldn't decide on one song and the way he set it up was more than we excepted. And they have a wide range of music that also was convenant.

What were things you did not like? there really wasn't anything we didn't like. Like I said, they had everything under control.
Would you use their services again? Most definitely and my whole family used them.

Would you recommend them? Definitely and I recommended them to a friend just last week and will continue to recommend them to everyone.

Is there anything else you feel we should know before signing a contract with them? We were very comfortable with them and still are. In every situation you are faced with, especially preparing for a wedding, you need to feel comfortable to work with vendors and we most certainly did with Rob and Dianne. You will not regret signing with them.

Rob, Diane & Colorblind Productions were exactly what we wanted to make our wedding as special as it was. Rob was such a great dj & mc.. he had all the guests up and dancing the entire time.. the dance floor was always full! Diane led the videographers and captured every important moment beautifully! We are so overly satisfied with the outcome of hiring ColorBlind Productions that we have recommended them to all of our friends. They will definitely be the choice for all future party needs!

I can't tell you how satisfied I am with Colorblind Productions and the outstanding work they performed at my wedding back in 2005. They were hired to provide my videography & DJ needs and they exceeded all my expectations. They captured every moment on video from all angles. The music kept everyone on the dance floor, including me, throughout the evening and into the night. Our wedding music consisted of all genres' including Spanish & Arabic and they did an excellent job incorporating our cultures into the beats they played. We highly recommend them for any occasion, and they are the only ones on our list to use for future festivities.

We used Dianne as our planner (making sure the day went smoothly) and Rob as our DJ, and they both did a wonderful job. They came recommended from friends who loved using them and they were great about coming to meet with us at our apartment and at our venue in the weeks leading up to the big day. We had a pretty specific music list and Rob did a great job executing it. We passed on their names to some other friends getting married last spring and Rob did a great job at that wedding as well. Friendly and helpful; not much more you could ask for.

HIRE COLORBLIND!

Words cannot describe how perfect Colorblind Productions is and how perfect they made my wedding. My husband is Dominican and I am Egyptian and I searched high and low for someone who'd be able to mix Spanish and Arabic music seamlessly. I've been to several weddings where the DJs simply switched music and it felt forced. Rob took both our cultures and created music that had people on their feet all night long. The only time people were sitting was when they had to eat!

Dianne, as the wedding coordinator for the night, was like an angel sent by God. I did not have a planner for my wedding and thought the day was going to be chaotic since we got married at a site that had no event coordinator. Dianne swooped in and with the grace of a maestro leading her orchestra she made magic happen. I did not have to worry about one single thing the whole evening, not even a loose hair which Dianne quickly put back into place with the aid of her handy wedding kit.

Colorblind surpassed any and all of my expectations and I would hire them again for any event. I'd give them more than five stars if I could.

We hired Colorblind Productions for our May wedding and couldn't have been happier with the results. We had a very multicultural wedding -- my side is Irish and my husband's is Indian -- and Rob managed to mix both types of music seamlessly. We gave a few songs on CD to Rob beforehand but he already had a big library of all kinds of ethnic music, which I thought was fantastic. He really knows his stuff! Great music aside, you should hire Colorblind because they're not just awesome DJs; they were an amazing team. Dianne, Rob's wife, was incredible on the day of. In addition to making sure we were all lined up properly for the grand entrance and things like that, she fixed my bustle, handed me glasses of wine, lit candles that went out and even gave me lipgloss. Seriously, they are amazing. And affordable!

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!

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.


I will put a review about my whole wedding soon but I wanted to post this first. If anyone has any questions or would like the other reviews I compiled you can email me at Leesa1010@comcast.net

Dianne and her assistant were a godsend the day of my wedding! Not only did Dianne help me stay calm enjoy my wedding, she guided me every step of the way with her "binder" of forms to make sure that everything was in place and no detail left overlooked. She went over and beyond her role as my coordinator, she became my go to for ideas and a source of calm the day of my wedding. She actually drove my parents when they were left behind at the church to my inlaws house AND she drove me to my hotel after the wedding! (It was across the street but the gesture was memorable.) I cannot give enough accolades to Dianne and her services. I will definetely use her services again for another major family event and I can't wait! Thank you Dianne and Colorblind Productions for making my wedding the best that it could be!!!!

hired Colorblind Productions for dj'ing and wedding coordination services. Rob handled the dj'ing and Dianne handled the wedding coordination piece with an assistant. The services they provided were excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning an event. They were very thoughtful before the event in our meetings to run through everything that needed to be addressed regarding the music and the vibe that we wanted for our event. Rob was great with the music and kept the dance floor full all night. Diane was a phenomenal wedding coordinator. Without her help the day would not have run so smoothly. She was on top of all the details so that I would be able to enjoy the day. She also is great with kids and was a tremendous help with the ring bearer. In addition, she created a wedding day itinerary for the bridal party which was really helpful!

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.

Dianne was a true pleasure to work with. Dianne was a referral from one of Kelli's friends and that is probably one of the best referrals we have ever had.

First of all, Dianne was a true professional, extremely thorough in the planning process, and flexible enough to adapt to any situation that was thrown her way. My favorite part is that she made sure people were in the right place and things happened exactly as there were supposed so Kelli didn't have to worry or stress about a thing. And from the groom's point of view that was extremely helpful.

My wife and I just had our third wedding anniversary on August 26th and we will always remember how incredible that day was, and Dianne's efforts and input were a major reason the day was success.

We found Colorblind almost by accident close to 7 years ago, and since then, they've done more than a half dozen of my friends weddings, and are my go-to people for any major event we have. The attention to detail and service are superb. They are total profesionals. They are great at mixing the tastes of the bride and groom, their respective guests, and keeping the fun lasting without resorting to cheezy Wedding DJ schitck. They anticipate the needs of the couple and can truly be the backbone of a great wedding. They are worth A LOT more than their price tag. A true value by any measurement.

Colorlind Productions were amazing on my wedding day! We hired them for coordination and video services and they pulled everything off flawlessly. Dianne managed to keep everything on schedule and handled all of the different events with ease. We also really appreciated how they blended in with the guests and weren't obtrusive at all. For the amount of services we used their price is also amazing! You won't regret hiring Colorblind!

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 deions 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.

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 dance floor 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 fixing 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 with 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 addition 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.

Thank you so much for the outstanding job you did at our wedding! The dance floor was non-stop! You played exactly what we wanted. It was perfect. Thanks also to you Dianne for your coordination & very professional presentation. We have & will continue to highly recommend your services.

We can't thank you enough for all the great work you guys did for our wedding. The music at the reception was simply awesome. Mixing Arabic, Indian & English songs worked out great. All of our guests were impressed!

Diane, thank you for cleaning out my dress from the red wine stain. You did a wonderful job that you couldn't see it afterward. In all we're very thankful for your great work and would highly recommend you

Dearest Rob & Dianne
You have done so many parties for us we thing you're just part of the family. Thank you so much for your patience, for driving all the way to Far Rockaway and taking all our requests, for making our party intimate & eloquent but yet "Bringing Down The House." We honestly had the best time, you both did a perfect job. We're telling everyone you cal do a "West Indian Wedding"

One of the best out there. Great music, beautiful video, and awesome relationship with clients. Highly recommended.
