The Toasted Brew is the way to go!!

You will be nothing but happy when you pick The Toasted Brew to be your photographer, Dj or both!

Myself and my now husband have nothing but great things to say about Robert!
From the first email I made with Robert I knew The Toasted Brew was going to be the right choice for my wedding.
Robert is absolutely amazing of what he does. He always made sure myself and my husband were comfortable with choices being made.
When we had our wedding meeting Robert made sure to answer our questions and took his time with us and went through steps and timing of the wedding with us.

First, as Photography he made sure we were comfortable, made great decisions and made it fun. Robert takes amazing shots and we got our photo gallery within the week after the wedding and they were BEAUTIFUL!
Second, as Dj and Emcee Robert made sure the wedding went smoothly and made sure everyone was happy and having fun!

From our wedding in August I kept getting compliments of how great the music was, the Dj was fantastic and from the wedding party they loved the process of the photography

Thank you Robert for being part of our wedding and making sure it was nothing but the most perfect and memorable day for us !

Perfect Addition to Your Event!

We used The Toasted Brew for reception music, announcements and photo booth services. Robert fit in with the wedding party like they’d been friends forever. He worked in collaboration extremely well with the rest of our vendors to give our wedding all of the personal touches we want, keep it classic, and keep it light and funny too!

Hey friends my name is Robert, over the last 15+ years I have worked hard to make it more than hiring a DJ or Photographer, it’s about the relationships and the experience while still receiving the absolute best quality of service. I don’t believe in doing a lot of things ok, I believe in doing a few things at the very highest level. To say my work is my passion is an understatement, I found what I love to do very early on in life and everyday I strive to be better at it then I was the day before. Now for a little about me as a person. Modern Hipster with an old school flare is about the best way to describe me. I love a good cup of coffee, 90’s music is my jam (Counting Crows is my favorite), Big Bang Theory, band tees, driving caps, I don’t eat red meat and one could say I’m heavily tattooed. I enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures, foods and taking in the sites. I’m a sucker for broadway plays, art museums and just about anything steampunk in nature. I genuinely look forward to meeting you and until that can happen we can message on social media, converse through email like it’s the year 2000 or, my favorite, talk on the phone like its 1995.

Cheers

Robert Deschesne
