This review was something I have contemplated writing for a few weeks now. But I feel it is something I have to do to keep other brides informed. My husband and I used Richard after seeing his rave reviews and speaking with him on the phone. He was upfront about cost which was fantastic and was willing to work with us as we did not need his services for the full time the price allowed for. Two months before the wedding I reached out to him with a bit more information about what we were hoping for and a question I had. One of the things we specifically asked for was that we wanted guests to be invited

You cant go wrong with their DJ and entertainment services! I run a lot of events for the school, and I never worry about them. They make sure they keep the kids entertained, the music is always appropriate, and they are so professional with their schedules and set up. I highly recommend them.

We found DJ Rich while researching for a corporate event. He was accommodating, super professional, and always quick to reply - even stepped out of an event for a minute to speak to me because he knew we were on a tight timeline! Our go to DJ from here on out.
