Adam was a huge part of making our wedding one of the best nights of our lives, and I feel many in the room would wholeheartedly agree. We could not have asked for a better performer, musician, DJ, and all else that Adam does so well! Adam is completely independent, and perfection is just part of the package he offers. We needed 3 separate locations covered as we migrated from ceremony on the beach, to cocktail hour in the courtyard, to an all night dance party DJ inside, and Adam seemed to always be one step ahead waiting for us to arrive to the show. THANK YOU for being so very professional, talented, accommodating, and overall everything we needed and more.

Adam was great. He was on time sounded awesome! Everyone at the event enjoyed him. The only complaint I’ve Been hearing from everyone is he didn’t interact with the crowd. They pretty much all thought he didn’t have much of a personality, crowd wise too business like.

Adam Rice was absolutely fantastic. Adam showed up to our event and played for the full 3 hours. He understood the type of event and played exactly what was expected. People at the party stated that having Adam was a perfect compliment to our event. His play list was perfect and was executed with just as much perfection. His singing and playing ability was top notch

Adam did a great job! He played for a 30th birthday party of about 20 people in a house. Would hire again!
We booked Adam for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We could not have been happier with our decision. Firstly Adam is very flexible and easy to work with, the booking process was all done via email and he is very quick to respond to any questions or requests. Adam traveled several hours to our wedding and their was no astronomical extra fee for his travel. His prices are more then reasonable! He is an incredibly talented artist and we got so many compliments on his performance! The only thing I regret is not booking him for longer, I think my guest would have enjoyed him playing during dinner. Look no further and book with Adam , we will not let you down!

Adam Rice provided background music (guitar and singing) for our nonprofit event and did a fantastic job. He was on time (early acutally), well prepared, and professional. He played for over 2 hours without taking a break and had great energy. His song choices were perfect for what we needed and he has a beautiful singing voice-he even took requests! If you are ever looking for a wide variety of music, great guitar playing and a smooth versatile voice; Adam is your guy. We couldn't be more satisfied!

Adam performed for our organization's 25th Anniversary Celebration. He was the highlight of the party and sounded fantastic. I was thoroughly impressed with his sound, promptness, and professionalism. I would hire him again without reservation.
