You knew this discount rate from day one, I do see every change you made, you hinted at less, but as I told you, it is for the night. Future If you dont like a rate dont book it, Or there are callers who would not have given you an extra hour free at the event, and sadly you are still hinting at cheaper- NEXT Time hire a 100 dollar caller and see why I charge what I do, Your guests had a blast and 2 are starting the booking process, probably should skip that one.

Rick was such a great addition to our event this past Sunday night! He was even recovering from a terrible cold and still showed up and did an amazing job!! He and his wife were very kind and we had great communication before he arrived. I highly recommend him for your next event- so much fun and very clear instructions that made it easy for everyone to understand and have a blast! Thank you Rick!!

September 24, 2022Rick was perfect for our event!
Rick was responsive and communicative prior to the event ensuring he had an understanding of our event and preferences. He let me know when he was headed to the event and showed up on time with everything he needed to set up promptly and get the party started. He was welcoming to guests and took requests for songs. He played to the crowd and was a pleasure to work with!

We had our caller for an hour and everyone enjoyed it- however some people wished that it was more complex and fast paced so that we couldn’t have gotten much more out of our 1 hour long time. 1 hour wasn’t enough we were having too much fun!
