Rob’s Story

Rob Hines has been creating moments of joy since his early teens. At just 13, he began entertaining at children’s parties, and by high school he was performing at Sweet 16s and weddings. It was during those early years that he developed a natural ability to read a room, connect with guests, and keep a dance floor fully engaged. Private events quickly became the space where music, personality, and performance came together best.

While many young DJs gravitated toward the club scene, Rob had a different vision. In 2008, he launched Rob Hines Entertainment with a simple belief that every celebration deserves more than music. It deserves intention, attention to detail, and a style that reflects the people being celebrated. As the company grew, Rob became known for producing high end weddings and corporate events throughout the New York Tri State Area, earning a reputation for professionalism, creativity, and consistency.

Over the years, Rob has worked with respected brands including Delta Air Lines, American Express, and Equinox, along with private events for notable clients such as Odell Beckham Jr., Martha Stewart, Ray Romano, and Kathie Lee Gifford. Performances at many of the region’s most prestigious venues helped shape his understanding of how exceptional events should flow from start to finish.

At a pivotal point in his career, Rob faced an unexpected personal challenge. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor, resulting in significant hearing loss and other health complications. During recovery, he was faced with two options. Shut the company down after being told he could no longer DJ, or evolve. Rob chose to pivot, entrusting performances to the team he had built while stepping into a more hands on ownership role focused on planning, consultation, booking, and event day execution.

That decision became a turning point. With Rob now personally involved in every client relationship, clients gained direct access to his experience and guidance throughout the planning process. The result was an even stronger client experience and continued company growth.

Beyond events, Rob is committed to giving back. He actively supports the Eye and Ear Foundation, a cause deeply personal to him given his medical journey. More information, including direct donation opportunities, can be found on the About Us page.

Outside of the company, Rob enjoys spending time with his wife and son.
