August 10, 2025Talented Musician; Great Sound & Easy to Work With
I can’t say enough great things about Ricky. From our initial contact to the end of our pre-wedding event, he was easy to work with, responsive and flexible. He is a wonderfully talented musician who played to the room and guests. I received so many compliments on his singing and song selection. He was the perfect entertainer for our event. Ricky was also incredibly flexible during the event as we kept changing things around. He never was phased by the changes and just kept playing! He would be a great addition to any event. Thanks Ricky!!

August 12, 2021Awesome Wedding Night!
We had a small wedding (25 people) on a Thursday night, and Ricky got everyone out of their seats dancing! My (now) husband and I knew we wanted live music, and were so excited to find Ricky's profile and listen to some of his samples. He checked all of our boxes with his range of genres, he took requests from everyone during the night, and did a fantastic job not only with the music but also as a personality bringing life ot the party. Ricky was also very responsive, willing to work with our budget, and stayed on top of planning directly with the venue, which was super helpful. We'll definitely be reaching out again for our next event!

Ricky somehow turned my quiet unassuming family into a wild nonstop dance party that lasted until closing time! This man's fingers dance like spiders on a hotcake and his voice is nothing short of incredible, he can read the room like a pro and feed energy right to the crowd through his music. Hands down the most fun I've had all year. I'm already trying to come up with reasons to throw a party just to have him around again.
Throughout the planning process for my wedding Ricky was nothing but flexible, generous and easygoing. I can't recommend him enough, for all the stressed out brides out there, this is your guy. BOOK HIM NOW.
