nted at what he does as a DJ and he has a passion for his work. He brings his heart and soul into the entire process. He gets to know you as a couple and makes the process personalized to your exact tastes. Rick uses a "music mapping" document and shared playlists to absolutely nail the vibe of what you are looking for in your event from the pre-ceremony music to cocktail hour to dinner through the reception dance floor. He absolutely crushed it for us. The music was exactly what we wanted. Beyond the music, Rick brings a great energy to your big day as a master of ceremonies and makes everyone feel welcome. He knows exactly when to raise the energy levels and when to keep things low key. He's also the ultimate hype man. We struggled with postponing our original date due to COVID and Rick's positivity and vision of how the day would be laid out kept us moving forward. I PROMISE you will not regret partnering with Rick on your big day. He's the ultimate pro.

t and understands how crucial it is for a wedding. He met with us multiple times to get a feel for what we wanted and provided great equipment day of. All of our guests loved him and went out of their way to tell us so. I cannot recommend Rick enough!

positivity and good vibes. The planning process was easy, he took us through a whole music plan, got to know our style, our wedding party, etc. He did an awesome job with the shoe game, which Rick introduced us to and was a huge hit at the reception. He had the dance floor hopping all night long, and not to be overlooked, his MC skills were on point. 10 out of 5 stars.

everyone at the wedding commented about how AMAZING DJ Rick is! My husband and I can't thank him enough!

oyed themselves and had nothing but outstanding comments on Rick’s energy, awesome sound system, and his skills on the turntables! Love, Nick and Shelby

ur wedding without too much work on our end. He was adept at providing creative boundaries and didn’t hesitate to provide constructive feedback. He perfectly walked the fine line between listening to our preferences and incorporating our distinct style while also knowing exactly what works best from his endless experience. When working with Rick you quickly realize how much he genuinely loves music and knows how to use it to connect people. He intuitively knew exactly what to play and when to get everyone out on the dance floor to keep the party going. He is an artist at mixing songs and a true musical talent. Rick also brings his own energy during the whole wedding. So many times I looked over to see him bonding with our guests or dancing and enjoying the evening with the rest of us. Once the event was over I can’t remember how many people came up to me and said “your DJ was fantastic, where did you find him!?” My suggestion, hire Rick and let the man do his thing. He’s a pro.

Rick!!!

eel comfortable with all of my decisions. I met up with him before the wedding and I instantly knew he was going to completely rock my wedding- and he did! Rick is your go to guy and makes you so excited about your special day. His enthusiasm is contagious. You will not regret hiring him! He went above and beyond for my wedding and I will never forget him and will forever grateful for him. He helped recreate a song for our first dance by having his cousin personally sing the song for us, helped me create a memorable aisle entrance song for me to walk down to with a voice over for my husband, and created such fun atmosphere for my husband and guests. He knew how to keep everyone on the dance floor until 15 minutes past our allotted time. Look no further, book him!! Thank you so much Rick you are the BEST!

aii and had our destination wedding in Mammoth Lakes. We really wanted to incorporate our local music in our ceremony and reception while also including wedding appropriate songs. He really made wedding planning smooth and easy and listened to exactly what we wanted and envisioned, and recommended what he thought would work best and the whole wedding day came out better than we could have ever imagined! Richard’s suggestions also helped with our wedding ceremony and reception schedule. He even made some last minute calls that worked out for the better! His intuition and vibe for the crowd is such a gift; able to read the room and bring the energy! If we could give him more than 5 stars we would! If you are having a wedding/event and are able to get Richard for entertainment, definitely go with him! You will not be disappointed! No words will ever be enough to explain how talented he is. Thank you so much for a memorable night, Richard! Aloha, The Takahashi’s

e to ensure that we were happy with our music, we were doing well during the crazy times and was resilient when it came to switching venues. He listened to what we wanted for music and was able to blend the different genres of music. Richard helped link different songs to memories that will last a life time.

anning phases, he was super communicative and available. He (gently) prodded us months ahead of time to make sure important decisions (like how the procession would go, etc) didn't get left until the last minute. He was also very flexible. Due to powers beyond anyone's control, our venue had to shut down ten days before the wedding. Rick totally pivoted and helped us move the event to a new venue at the last minute. You wouldn't have known it on the wedding day-- everything went down exactly as planned and without a hiccup. Lastly, his energy is contagious. The guy can read a room and get your party going. From running the reception with poise, to getting people out on the dance floor, to music selection that is on point (with as much input as you want to have)-- he really made the event a fantastic party that people are still talking about months later. Thank you Rick!

n track from the very beginning as he crafts your vision of events with the perfect mood to match. On the day of, he kept everything running smoothly, accommodating any situations, and transitioning the reception with some fantastic music. We really wanted the dance floor to come alive, and Richard delivered that and more, it was popping the entire night! I really couldn't recommend him enough, he was everything we could have hoped for and Richard really made the night special through his amazing attitude, professionalism, and DJ skills, just the best.

to do last minute changes. His energy and love for his job showed throughout the whole day. I love my husband but I knew I was going to plan the whole wedding on my oh and I can’t tell you how grateful I am to not have to worry about our DJ. He handled everything beautifully. We gave him songs that we wanted during the dancing portion and he blended in his own flavor with it. It was honestly a wonderful experience and no one left the dance floor. If you want someone that is reliable, affordable, great at his job, and a ball of energy that brings the crowd together this is your guy. I wouldn’t write a review unless it was completely true. And I’m so so grateful that we hired him. Thank you so much freshtracks for making our wedding so fun and so much more memorable.

y song we wanted when we wanted in. His energy is infectious, and he kept the dance floor lit from start to finish. One of my favorite memories was looking back at him jumping up and down, rocking out behind the DJ booth. Thank you DJ Rick! You are the best and we would recommend you to anyone without hesitation!

always an email away, would check in on us, see if we needed anything at all.. he is the most supportive, professional, and fun vendor that we've had the pleasure of working with. 2 years in the making, and it was worth every second!!! Rick went above and beyond to make sure we had the BEST night of our lives!! He played all of my 'musts', took requests, read the room to perfection, and even started a conga line with all of my guests- it was hilarious and AMAZING!! I've never seen my father-in-law dance so hard in my life, it was great! Through our time working with Rick, we felt he became more of a friend than just our wedding DJ. My husband and I plan on making trips to mammoth/June Lake (T-Bar) to see Rick dj in the future. I really can't say enough great things, we love you, Rick!!!

how amazing he was. I don't even know if they remember the music played, but they remember him - which is seriously more impressive. I can guarantee you will not find a more helpful, positive, and accommodating vendor. DJs are such an important part of the day and you want the best. HE IS THE BESTT!

er like we are and I could immediately tell he had a fun attitude and took his role on wedding day seriously. I knew I had to have him DJ our wedding, so we signed a contract and started working on booking Convict Lake for our venue. Strangely, after we signed a contract with Convict Lake for our 2018 wedding, they suddenly said they were no longer holding weddings at the lake due to permitting issues! We looked at other venues in the area but could not find anything in the area we loved. Rick was a champ with all the changing plans and dates. I was stressed by the struggle but Rick was always there to offer encouragement. He promised to be there for us even if we planned our wedding out of the Mammoth area. We also postponed our wedding until 2019 so we could pick a new venue. Rick was fine with this change! We started planning for a venue in Northern California - in the foothills of the Sierra near our home. Finally we found a venue we loved, Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys. By now 2019 was pretty booked up for Rick and for our venue, so we went for June 13, 2020. Remember we signed a contract with Rick in 2017! Rick STILL agreed to travel to Murphys and DJ our wedding. And no extra travel charge. He was still honoring our contract signed back in 2017!! We had a venue and date, so finally we could start planning the fun stuff. Rick was awesome during planning- music mapping process was easy. We talked multiple times over the years to plan, Rick was super accessible throughout all the changes and very easy going. He explained everything really well, offered suggestion and his expertise, and helped me bring my vision to life. He rolled with me when I changed my mind over and over. So 2020 arrives and we are ready to go! And then COVID hit! Having to postpone again was so awful. We waited until end of April to reschedule for 2021 Abs by then the dates Rick had available and at our venue were limited. I picked our new date based on the date Rick had free- it was THAT important to me to have him there on our day. Rick once again was accommodating to our having to make another change. When we booked it, we also didn’t realize it was Father’s Day! So Rick came and deejayed our wedding on Father’s Day weekend. After 4 years of planning and changes! Amazing! Well the wedding day did not disappoint! Rick got the guests into the perfect mood for our day. He set the stage for a perfect day with not only the music but with his great attitude and energy. What I didn’t want was a generic thoughtless DJ, I wanted someone different and talented that understood what we were about. The day and night was awesome with Rick’s help. He read the crowd and Played the music we liked and created a sentimental, fun, upbeat atmosphere the whole time. And later the the dance floor was hopping! The staff at Ironstone said Rick was the best DJ they have ever had- I believe it, he was incredible! Worth every penny paid and more. DJ FreshTracks is the best!!!

ion flow that was unique to us, and he kept the energy high throughout the evening.

ick wasn't able to attend because he had a wedding to do of course but we ran into him at that wedding venue and briefly got his card in passing. While at the gala a photographer that I spoke with gave me great advice and told me that they first vendor I needed to book was Rick, and man was he right! Rick was there for us through the pandemic. We we're supposed to get married in July 2020 but ended up getting married in July 2021. He was our biggest cheerleader being the uncertain times of postponement. I leaned on Rick to get a feel our how Mono county was handling the restrictions. Rick had a positive attitude the whole time but gave me realistic info about how things were looking up there. After we decided to postpone for a year, I made sure that Rick was available on our new date, I'm dead serious that if he wasn't I would have changed the date. Rick has become a true homie of ours we are so grateful that he was a part of our day. I didn't want to leave the dance floor; all his song choices were great. He has so many great suggestions and playlists for everything; recessional, processional, cocktail hour, grand entrances, first dance, parent dances, dinner music, cake cutting, etc. and he makes it all customized per couple. He's very responsive, organized, friendly, professional, hard worker, the list goes on and on. Thank you so much Rick! We had the best party ever and it's all because of you!

me of a lot of wedding stress and got me exactly what i wanted for my wedding. Highly to recommend.

tor who always brings a ton of positivity to our conversations. He’ll help you easily keep everything organized with a google doc and his own Spotify playlists for you to explore. We kept in touch for over two years through Covid and highly recommend Rick to anyone getting married in the Mammoth area.

g them an option to back out, but Rick was so supportive and so excited to be part of our wedding. He was patient and enthusiastic which is exactly what we needed, especially when people were telling us to cancel. Rick was on top of everything!. We had a couple of zoom calls to give him an idea of who we were and what we were into. It was so easy , we laughed and joked. he made us feel relaxed and our nerves calm. Rick was also very adjustable / adaptable on so many accounts ! First we changed our venue to a house that was at 9,000 elevation and had no service. He put himself where we wanted and made everything work. Our ceremony was in brush and he walked his speakers and set them next to rock and brush and dirt so it would sound right. Rick also had to deal with my specifics when making my father daughter “fun “ dance. There were dozens of back and forth emails “ take this out “ “faster faster .” He was so patient with me and made our dance so incredibly memorable. We got the package where Rick also MC’d the wedding. He is a vibrant and vivacious MC. His music mixes were so on point that we even had a cocktail hour dance party !!! We were on the dance floor the entire time. It was a blast. I always thought I wanted a wedding band but Rick was way better than any band I could have hired. When dreaming of the music at my wedding , all I asked for was “ to keep people on the dance floor” and he did just that. Ugh take me back!!!! Thank you Rick !!!

re process. We truly couldn't have asked for more from a DJ.
