Ric was a great DJ! Great energy and played all the music we were looking for.
I reached out to LNFE after seeing DJ Rapid Ric at a couple events I attended. I was planning my son's 16th birthday bash and knew we needed a fun and energetic DJ for the party. The booking process with Senaida was so easy and Ric was available for any additional questions that popped up. Night of the party, he got set up and was ready to go even when my family and I arrived a little early. Ric was awesome and played all types of music for us, and even took any requests that came his way. The party truly would not have been the same without DJ Rapid Ric!
Ric was the DJ at our daughters recent wedding. We couldn't have asked for more. He and Senaida were easy to work with. Communication was great, from Google Meets to email. The music was phenomenal. We wanted our guests dancing and Rick kept them on the dance floor. It was such a fun night. We added a Gobo to our package which was an awesome image on an empty wall. Highly recommend getting one. We would highly recommend LNFE for an event.
Any questions?
Absolutely NOTHING bad to say about LNFE! The communication was outstanding, everything moved along just as I’d asked, and the dance floor was everything I’d imagined it would be! We also utilized the coordination services and Mayra was an absolute savior. She was so kind, helpful, communicative and went above and beyond to make sure my day went as smoothly as possible. I wish we could do it all over again because they really made my wedding something special!
We really couldn't have asked for anything more from DJ Ric.
Outstanding communication beforehand (including zoom chat), very friendly before and during the event, flexible and helpful when things didn't go according to schedule, and the music selection was exactly what we asked for (even though we had rough "90's dance or country like ___").
We ran a simple Wedding Reception without a lot of the bells and whistles, and hiring DJ Ric through LNFE was absolutely worth it. The entire event was 100% better thanks to him.
Do you want a big party at your wedding? Well this DJ kept 130 guests on the dance floor all night with great song transitions and feeling the vibes on the floor! DJ Ric had a really thorough questionnaire, and he set up everything perfectly. I got so many compliments on the "Party" and the DJ, and my husband and I agree that choosing LNFE was one of the best vendor decisions we made.

Thank you so much! WE loved working with you.
I typically don’t do reviews or feedback but felt it was necessary. My wedding was on 05/21/23 and sadly I was not happy with my dj. There were some major things that we had talked about that he messed up or just didn’t do and I’ll list them below
1- we talked about the entrance of the wedding party into the reception and him saying all of their names, which I wrote down on the questionnaire. He never said names and introduced them as a group.
2- when the bridesmaids were announced as a group I specifically wanted a part of a song played and he did not play that part which was also talked about on the questionnaire.
3- the father of the bride and bride dance song…. He legitimately played the wrong song. The entirely wrong song. When my father and I started dancing I told him I’ve never heard this song in my life. We didn’t stop because I had no idea what to do and I didn’t want to make a scene. We laughed it off but I was furious and quite frankly ruined the moment for me. Something that was supposed to be such a special moment taken away.
4- I specifically requested only 1 Taylor swift song to be played and gave him the one song to play… a think a total of over 5 were played.
5- on the questionnaire I filled out it asked for a last dance of the night song…. He didn’t even play it.
6- I wrote out who was giving speeches which was maid of honor, best man and my father. After the maid of honor and best man he tried to move into the next event and I had to interrupt and say “ummm my father would like to speak”.
I had multiple conversations with the dj Ric and he assured me all would be good. Well it wasn’t and quite frankly it was the worst part about my wedding to me and my husband. We still had an amazing time because at the end of the day we were married and surrounded by our loved ones but I can honestly say I will not recommend LNFE.
Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2023
Good afternoon,
Thank you for this feedback Casey!
We will address this at our next team meeting.
I will follow up with an email after I meet with the team.
Talk to you soon,
Senaida
We absolutely loved working with LNFE! Very communicative and accommodating every step of the way. If you want the best, LNFE is the best. We came across them at a friend's wedding the year before and knew right away. Ric's ability to seemlessly blend genres and keep the floor alive was amazing. We had a full dance floor for the entire reception. Everyone was overly complimentary of how well LNFE did for weeks after the wedding. We had a bit of everything for everyone and needed little guidance. He heard us out for how we envisioned the night and he was able to play the perfect mix without little guidance. Trust him to get the job done! One of the best decisions for our wedding. Thank you LNFE!!
We are so happy that Ric was the DJ at our wedding reception! We had great interactions with him leading into our big day. His wife Senaida manages everything behind-the-scenes; she was super nice and responsive throughout the process. They have a detailed questionnaire that allows you to provide them with all of the things you may want to inform them about heading into the event.
Ric was super professional during our wedding. He didn't miss a step during any part of our reception (first dance, speeches, etc.), and guests loved the music he played when it was time to dance.
We will always be grateful to have worked with Ric and Senaida and can't thank them enough for making our wedding day even more special! We highly recommend anyone seeking a DJ for a wedding or other major event to give them a call.
There is a reason this place is called "Look No Further". They gave us everything we asked for and were very accommodating to our needs. DJ Ric played at our wedding, and we had an amazing dance party to close out the event. We got lots of comments from our guests about how great the DJ was. LNFE is very communicative and thorough in order to ensure that they offer what they advertise, and we were not disappointed.
Look No Further Entertainment was very friendly throughout the experience and Ric was very friendly and informative when we met several months before the wedding and the week before. Their online form was easy to use and it was great that I could provide a Spotify playlist with my music. The reason I am giving 2 starts, however, is that despite providing direct links to the songs on Spotify and links to a playlist with the songs in the order we desired there were two times throughout the night when the incorrect song was played. The procession song for the wedding party was initially incorrect, not even the same artist, but with the mother-of -the-bride’s help we were able to quickly adjust and have the correct song playing. The other song was our entrance after photos into the reception. This song wasn’t on Spotify, but I had talked to Ric about it two days before and sent a link to the song on YouTube, but the song that my husband wanted for that entrance wasn’t played. Neither was the end of the world, but the one he played instead was okay. Thankfully, my bridesmaid checked the rest of the setlist for the night and corrected that our private dance song was also not included on the list because it was very important since we were doing a private last dance instead of a first dance. Overall, my experience with Look No Further Entertainment and Ric was nice, but I wished that he had used the links to the playlist and songs we discussed so that those mistakes wouldn’t have happened.

Thank you for your review. I would like to extend the invitation to schedule a time to chat with us regarding your experience (calendly.com/lnfe). Thank you, Senaida
Rich is hands down the best DJ. From the first meeting to the wedding - he was so personable and made us feel so comfortable. He listened and communicated and truly seemed enthusiastic about our event. He and Senaida made everything so easy - payments to planning. We are truly grateful for them. Thank you for making our big day magical!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/21/2022
Thank you so much for this review. We love to know that we made a great impact on your day. Congrats again and wish you many many years
Senaida & Ric
I really enjoyed working with LNFE! I am a wedding planner and did a wedding with them this past weekend. They are responsive, happy, did a killer party! Just an overall joy to work with! Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 07/21/2022
Thank you so much for this review. We love throwing big parties!!!
Senaida & Ric
LNFE was the DJ for our wedding and we were very happy with the service! He provided all of the ceremony and reception music and had our guests dancing all night! Highly recommend this DJ!
We've hired Ric twice...for two Bat Mitzvah parties. He and Senaida are fantastic, easy to work with, and just deliver the vibes! He will get you and your guests moving, shaking, and smiling on the dance floor. The second time we hired him was Nov 2021. It was the first party many of our 150 guests had been to since the start of COVID. Ric had the dance floor hopping for almost 4 hours. It was pure magic.
Ric stepped in as our DJ a few weeks before our wedding after the DJ we had been working with went on to another career. Even though we only contracted LNFE to do the coffee hour and reception music, Ric worked with our ceremony musician to supply a lapel mic for our officiant. He did a great job keeping the vibe we wanted at the reception and the dance floor was never empty like we wanted!
Response from the Vendor on 07/21/2022
Thank you so much for this review. We work really hard for our clients and it is great to see your appreciation for that. Senaida & Ric
LNFE and DJ Ric were the best!
Covid may have made our wedding small, but DJ Ric made our night so much more fun! The song choices were exactly what we had in mind and we danced all night.
So friendly and easy to work with! We appreciate you all so much!
Amazing! Ross was great to work with! I had certain songs I wanted to walk down the aisle to with certain portions of the song and after one short meeting...he NAILED it! So great! Guests raved about the music! Highly recommend! Ross is great!
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2020
Thank you Paige!!! I had a blast at your wedding and it brings me great joy to hear how much fun you had. Congratulations!!!
Look No Further indeed!!
Ross is truly the best DJ we could've asked for our wedding. My wife and I are huge into many different genres and styles of music, so we wanted someone who was serious about helping us realize our vision for the reception while also bringing some expertise and advice of their own to make sure everyone was having the time of their life. From the first meeting, we connected immediately, effortlessly bouncing off of each other's ideas to start creating our ideal mix. He even whipped up a quick sample for us on his own equipment!
Ross handled sound for our ceremony (secretly recording it for safekeeping :) ), our cocktail hour, dinner, and reception (w/ gorgeous uplighting as well), and literally all of it was everything we could've hoped for. Seamlessly mixing Bruno Mars into Tame Impala, Beyoncé into Toto, Daft Punk into M83, Anderson .Paak into Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson into Kaskade, Queen into Chris Stapleton, Whitney Houston into LMFAO, and Earth, Wind, and Fire into Empire of the Sun into The Gorillaz(!), Ross provided the most diverse, custom-fit, and best wedding mix I've ever heard! His emceeing was very tasteful, making sure everything moved along without a hitch while refraining from needlessly inserting himself into the action with ad libs, etc. And he shared the entire mix with us after the fact so we can keep it forever!
We couldn't have asked for a more friendly, helpful, and experienced DJ to share this once-in-a-lifetime moment with us. And with prices that are almost criminally low for the quality of service, you will not find a better valued DJ service for your wedding, party, or whatever other function you need livened up. Ross and LNFE are truly the gold standard!
Ross was so great to work with, so professional and fun. He really kept the party rolling with no lulls in the entertainment. He helped us pick what types of music would play best that still fitted our style/vibe. I love to dance/party at weddings and was so happy to have such a competent DJ to keep things going so I didn't have to think twice about the music. He helped us have the most beautiful wedding ceremony with our unique song choices and added the prettiest uplighting around the room to really set the party mood. I would recommend Ross over and over and will be doing so.
Our DJ was one of the most important vendor decisions to us -- dancing/partying was a huge piece of our wedding so this hire was critical. I can tell you that without a doubt, Ross and the LNFE team were absolutely perfect. There was not a second of our wedding that the dance floor was not packed. We continue to hear how epic the dance party was and our guests were dancing HARD. Everything ran so smoothly, Ross was such a great MC, and we will remember the party forever. Thank you so much to the entire LNFE team, specifically Ross for making our special day so memorable!
We worked with DJ Ross for a local wedding. The groom and I were very worried about our music since we have different tastes. DJ Ross made it easy for us to trust him immediately. He was able to mix mix in music based on our Spotify playlists and easily handled improvisation when my cousins began requesting songs more popular in Mexico. The event flowed happily thanks to the top quality MCing. Speakers and mics were working at a professional grade. Lighting we rented through LNFE was set up perfectly. We had extremely high expectations for a DJ, and Ross exceeded them. Highly recommend services from LNFE.
We used LFNE and were so lucky to have Ric Almeda as our DJ for our wedding! Ric and his team made the planning process completely effortless and were always available to help with any questions I had. They always responded promptly and did their best to ensure we had a wonderful wedding! Our original wedding venue flooded and we were forced to relocate our entire wedding to a new venue at the last second! Ric and his team were also very accommodating with the last minute rescheduling and were not phased at all by the scramble of moving everything to a new location. Through all that they still managed to show up early and had everything set up beautifully and had everyone partying! The dance floor was packed and we loved every second of it! Ric definitely brought the party and made our wedding a huge success despite the initial flooding catastrophe. I can’t say enough about how wonderful, professional, kind and helpful Ric and his team were throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend Ric for your DJ and LFNE for your next event!
LNFE was great!! We had Ric as our DJ. I had so many people say they've never seen that many people out on the dance floor, and stay on the dance floor all night! He really kept the party going!! This was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for us. We wanted our guests to have FUN!
LNFE has a very streamlined process, which I definitely appreciated. We just filled in our information, timeline, and music requests in their online client portal and Ric took it from there!
Both Ric and Ross are very experienced. We talked to some other DJ companies where you had to pay a premium to get a more experienced DJ. That was not the case at LNFE! They were very reasonably priced compared to the others that we looked into.
Don't hesitate to book LNFE for your wedding!! They will do a great job.
Saw reviews of LNFE and were really excited about their service since we got a consultation with the owner. However, after submitting the deposit, bait and switch! The “other” DJ, Ric was assigned to our wedding. We did get a consultation with him and discussed our song preferences and what the crowd was going to be like. However, the night of our wedding, it was like we were in the twilight zone of line dancing and corny music. Don’t get me wrong, some people like dancing to YMCA but that’s specifically what we said we DID NOT want. Then, to make it worse, the contract proposal was changed the day of the wedding where we were charged for an extra hour that wasn’t used or asked for. Honestly, I would think twice and only use this company as a last resort, unless you want to have to repeatedly ask the DJ to stop playing certain types of music on your wedding night.
DJ Rapid Ric
Ric tore it down! It truly was the best day ever for my husband and I, and the reception had to have a soundtrack of course. We all danced the night away and even had very cool vibes during the dinner portion and entrance pieces of the program. Ric and his company are the people to go to for wedding bliss!
Ross was the DJ at our wedding at Pecan Springs Ranch. He threw a great party. Working with him since we booked was extremely easy. He responded to emails quickly and helped us with our vision for our day. He used some playlists that we provided then played his reception music which was a hit! He did a great job with the mics during our ceremony. Everyone could hear our vows and the officiant. We were so happy we hired him and can't thank him enough for making our wedding a blast.
AWESOME, AMAZING, BRILLIANT, MAGNIFICENT
I can't even come up with enough adjectives to describe LNFE! Comments I received from our daughter's wedding guests say it all, "The most fun wedding we've ever been to!" I attribute it all to Ross at LNFE. From the first moment I contacted him I knew he was the best DJ around. From his consultation with my daughter and her fiancé to detailed, and I mean detailed timelines, no aspect of the wedding or reception was overlooked. Ross was not only the DJ, but the emcee for the evening. The events for the evening were at three different locations at the venue and Ross ensured each event went off seamlessly. His professional, attention to detail and ability to perfectly guide you through the process of choosing music for cocktail hour, ceremony, reception to dancing was SPOT ON as seen by our guests, from teens to those in their 80's, dancing and singing the night away. Many asked me if they could get a copy of the music played from the cocktail hour, ceremony and reception. I can't tell you how much I heard "What great songs!" "I can't even take a break for a drink because another great dance song keeps coming on!" or "I LOVE this song!" All testaments of an awesome, amazing, brilliant, magnificent DJ - Ross at LNFE!
Truly LOOK NO FURTHER because you found the best!
Response from the Vendor on 07/10/2018
Thank you so much for the kind review Tammie! I had a wonderful time at your event, and I can't thank you enough for the opportunity.
We had a great experience working with the LNFE team. Senaida was very responsive when we were getting everything set up before the event and Ross was a great DJ for the reception itself - we had a great time with all of our guests! LNFE offered a couple of different options to craft the playlist and Ross did a great job incorporating our suggested songs and then adding others from there. They provided uplights for the dance floor too which were great. We would definitely recommend them for another wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2018
Thank you for the really thoughtful review Daly. I'm so glad that all of your guests had fun, and my whole team appreciates the feedback. Congratulations again sir!
Ross was THE BEST DJ! I was nervous about selecting a DJ because music is so important to me. Well let me tell you, we could not have had a better experience! He was very thoughtful in our meetings before-hand and helped us choose the perfect music and styles of music for each part of our wedding. He was ON TOP OF IT and the music flowed so well with all of our transitions throughout the night. We got SO many compliments about the music - ceremony, during dinner, and reception! Everyone (including me) danced the ENTIRE reception because the music was so good! We were even ahead of schedule, but that didn't stop people from dancing for 4 hours straight! When it was sadly time for him to leave, our guests were chanting "Ross, Ross, Ross!" because we all loved him so much! Thank you so much for helping to make our day so perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2018
Wow, thanks for the awesome review!!! We really appreciate your business and for helping to share the word about us. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you guys in the future!!!
I think for the price, the service was worth it. But I was slightly disappointed in how a few things went down the day-of our wedding. There was also a mix up about which DJ was going to do our actual wedding day, so they juggled us around just 2 months before the wedding—which was a little stressful. I hear if you get lucky enough to have the owner (Ross), then you'll be super happy.
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2018
I’m terribly sorry for any stress or undelivered expectations. My team and I are normally known for our exceptional attention to detail, and I regret that we missed the mark. Please contact me directly at ross@looknofurtherentertainment.com if ...
you would like to discuss the matter directly. Thank you for your business, your candor, and for taking the time to write about your experience.
Ross, the owner of LNFE, was our DJ and he was such a pleasure to work with. Super smart and knowledgeable and fit our overall vibe. He was respectful of our choices, but used his knowledge and experience to ask the right questions to get down to the bottom of what music would work best for our vibe.
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2018
I am so happy to hear that you guys had a great time, I had a pleasure working with you guys as well!! Thank you again for the opportunity and best wishes for the future.
LNFE was suggested to us as a DJ service from our wedding planner at Pearl Events and they were the best! Senaida, who coordinates all of the operations before, was amazing and super responsive -- it was impressive! Ric was our DJ and we gave him a Spotify playlist of songs we loved, and we had the best time. We also rented uplights through LNFE which made it super easy and seamless. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2018
Thank you so much for your kind words. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us—and we agree, Ric is truly a talent to have on our team! We count ourselves lucky for customers like you.
Owner, Ross Phillips was our DJ. Very knowledgeable about music. Great at listening & communicating. Extremely detail oriented. Exceptional MC. No mess ups on the microphone & no awkward silences. He kept everyone on the dance floor without going off script from the music we had talked about beforehand. We had him control the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, & reception - setting up speakers & microphones in 3 separate spaces, 2 of these being outside while it was raining off & on. He handled it no problem. We also really liked the software he provided to help us plan out & search for songs. It was a completely custom experience. I couldn't recommend Ross Phillips & LNFE more.
Response from the Vendor on 04/01/2018
Myself and the LNFE truly appreciate your kind words.
Thank you for everything.
Senaida & the LNFE Team
I don't even know where to start explaining how amazing it was to have LFNE dj our wedding. Ross is the best. My husband Shawn and I met Ross a few weeks before the wedding so he could do a preview and get to know us a bit better in person. He was very personable, professional, and has so much experience. Ross also has a lot of similar preferences to our taste in music so we really hit it off. He's very thorough in his organization of the set list and knows exactly how to excite the crowd and get people dancing. We booked LNFE for ceremony music / mics, and the reception music with uplighting. He not only recorded the audio for all of the ceremony and toasts, but also gave us a playlist of our reception music. Worth every cent.
Our wedding went so smoothly and beautifully. The music for the ceremony was just the right volume and crystal clear. The reception dinner music was perfect and fluid. Ross made it so anyone using a microphone just had to start talking, while he controlled it's volume and on / off switch. You don't know how helpful that is until you are giving a reading or a best man speech. Then came the party on the reception dance floor. Ross nailed it right from the start. We had a long wedding day too, starting at 3:30pm and ending at 11pm. Our guests danced the entire night and every song lit them up. He played the perfect blend of music that all the guests, even my little grandmothers, danced to. I could not have been more impressed or grateful. Ross you made our wedding SO much fun and it would not have been the same without LNFE.
If you are looking for a DJ who knows how to hook all of your wedding guests with a song and keep them dancing the whole night, Ross is it. My friends are all in the age range where a lot are getting married and all of them who attended have said they wish they had booked LNFE. Need I say more?
Thanks again, so much Ross. Love, Em + Shawn

Wow! Thank you so much!
The LNFE team appreciates your nice words.
We had a great time working with you both.

We met with DJ Ross Phillips (owner of LNFE) and after chatting a bit about the type of music we wanted for our wedding day, Ross did a live demo for us on the spot in his home studio. He was the first and only DJ we met with, and we were blown away! We decided right then and there we wanted Ross to DJ our wedding, and what a perfect decision it was. We had an eclectic, fun blend of dance hits, latin remixes, 90s hip hop, and classics. We had some specific songs we wanted, but left Ross mostly in control to do his thing. We'll never forget, he started the dance party off with the song "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede. This was a total surprise, and a moment we'll never forget. It's sort of become our unofficial "song" now, and most weekends you can find us in our apartment, dancing around with the dog and singing that song at the top of our lungs with it playing in the background. Ross was an amazing DJ, and the whole LNFE team were so professional and a joy to work with. Transitions were seamless, and we hardly even left the dance floor to get a drink, because every single song was such a blast to dance to. Thank you Ross for pulling together the perfect reception/dance party! I would recommend Ross & the whole LNFE team to anyone in a heartbeat.
Ross was so amazing, he played every song we asked for and added some more to keep the party going. He was so much fun to work with and really only wanted the best for my husband and I. From the very moment we booked with Look No Further Entertainment we were put at ease by how friendly and welcoming Ross was. He is so professional and I even received the audio of the reception as well as the speeches, and that just means so much to me to be able to play the night over again whenever I want to experience our BEST DAY EVER. Look No Further is amazing and I will refer this company to anyone of my friends and family.
Ross performed perfectly. He aptly read the vibes from the guests and used all our requests. His announcements were very professional and well timed. We are extremely happy with his work.
Ross was the DJ at our wedding a few weeks ago and he really got the party going!!! I would highly recommend using Ross as your DJ. We met with him a few times and he took all of our musical requests into account during our dinner and dancing portion of the night. He was also super organized and you can tell he has natural talent. Everyone was raving about our DJ throughout the night!
Ric was AMAZING!!!! Everything was perfect, and we could NOT have asked for a better DJ or team behind him. It was a great evening, and I still have people asking for his information, because he kept the party going with the best song selections!
We booked LNFE for our wedding this past September and was so happy with their services! Ric was our DJ for the night. Like many brides, I'm sure, I came out the wedding planning gate anticipating to create the most amazing playlist for the reception that would really get people dancing. My worst fear was to have an empty dance floor. Then, the week before the wedding came and went... and I still had no music picked. Even the ceremony music had been put on the back burner! With that said, Ric had full control of our reception music. IT TURNED OUT AMAZING!! Everyone was on the dance floor ALL night. Even my husband's 85 year old grandfather was out there in his wheel chair dancing around. Ric did a fantastic job! I would definitely recommend LNFE for any event.
Response from the Vendor on 11/14/2017
Ric mentioned this wedding being AMAZING. Thanks for being great clients.
Thank you,
LNFE
Ross was absolutely incredible at our wedding in May! He took the time beforehand to really understand what our goal for the wedding was - which in our case was having a packed dance floor! He certainly delivered, with hours of non-stop dancing and a great array of music from disco to appease the parents to today's music for us. All of the music flowed seamlessly and kept everybody engaged. Our wedding was truly one of the best nights of our lives and Ross certainly played a role in it.
Look no further, seriously. Ross and his team did an amazing job of helping us create a beautiful ceremony followed by dinner and a lively dance party for our wedding ceremony+reception at the South Congress Hotel. Working with Ross was totally stress free and he did a really good job of painting the venue with the desired vibe/ambiance through the music. Everything was seamless and when it was time to dance and party the whole crowd was up it was like a dancing lightswitch went off (even the older / shy relatives I didn't expect to dance were dancing). He also did a really good job of taking requests from the bride & groom (us) and from the guests, and filling out the party with creative choices that kept the party going. In every category he met and exceeded our best expectations (very organized, creative musical choices, matched the music to theme and desired vibe, easy to work with and communicate with, great package with uplighting included etc. etc.). I'd love to go to another wedding or party that he DJs.

Thank you again for your nice words. Clients like you make our job fun!
Ross & LNFE
Ric was so great! Our only goal of the night was to have a great dance party, and we did! We had a great pre-consultation where we were able to let Ric know what we wanted.
Ross was an amazing DJ! The entire process from start to finish was so easy and professional. Ross and I had a couple of phone calls during the planning process - he took the time to understand my musical style and my likes and dislikes. The ceremony went off without any hesitations or glitches, and the reception was a BLAST! I had given Ross minimal guidance for the reception, and he was able to read the crowd and play the perfect music to get everyone involved. I would absolutely recommend LNFE for any event!
Look No Further Entertainment did an excellent and satisfying job at my wedding almost two weekends ago July 1st. They were very organized keeping in frequent touch with my husband and I and arranging specific songs and dances we requested months before. On the wedding these all got done right on time with all the correct music. The staff is wonderful as well, patiently addressing several requests. I highly recommend their service for your wedding or any formal event!
The best! Just book them now as others have advised! They met with the bride and groom beforehand to get a plan, they played the best music, their announcements were just right...Ross is a pro, really!
Ric Almeida was so good! He DJ'd our wedding in Austin in March and he brought his talent! He is really good at what he does. He listens. He wanted to bring our vision forward. Our guests were dancing and enjoyed all the music he played. We really appreciate the time he took to get to know us. We live in NYC, so there was a lot of nervous feelings of making the right choice, but he is very good! thank you.
Ric worked hard all evening for us, running the sound for the ceremony, background music for the cocktail hour, dinner music, and obviously the reception. This is not a budget DJ service and it showed with excellent equipment, sound quality and lighting. Their online system makes it really easy to periodically add/remove songs and play with the timeline of your evening throughout the wedding planning process. We definitely would recommend LNFE.
Ross is AMAZING! He is super talented, and is willing to show his talent right on the spot! We had a meeting with him at his home, and he actually wanted to know our style and music that fit our personalities. He mixed music in front of us, and wanted to make sure that was what we were looking for. No other DJ we tried to meet would do this for us. There is no question here, book him now if it's not too late!
Ric was the best DJ we could have picked to make our event the best it could be. Ric was very nice, easy to work with and his talent can not be described in words. I gave hime about 50 Indian(Bollywood) Songs with no directions except youtube links. He managed to learn and listen and use all the songs at the right time. It meant a lot to us that he took the time to make our event special and went above and beyond the call of duty. We had friends and parents telling us our music was and entertainment was amazing and could not have been done without the skills of Ric. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM

Thank you for your kind words!!! We love mixing up different genres of music, and we really enjoy customizing the party to your needs. Ric and the whole LNFE team are grateful for the opportunity. Congratulations again, and thanks for sharing ...
your experience!!!
I was referred to Look No Further from one of my friends who had booked them for her wedding. We initially met Ross in his home and knew that we wanted to hire LNFE for our wedding as well. Ross was not available on our date, so he referred us to Keith. Keith was kind enough to come to our home to meet us a couple of days later and we ended up chatting for an hour and a half. We was so nice, so fun, and had so much knowledge and passion for what he does. Keith was not just our wedding DJ, but someone I leaned on for advice regarding other aspects of our wedding a couple of times throughout the process. Keith was so helpful and went above and beyond to take time out of his day to provide advice for me even thought this is not at all something he was required to do. The only way I can describe Keith in regards to the amazing party he threw is that he is a wedding party scientist. He did such an amazing job of feeling out the activity of the dance floor to keep the flow of the party going. If guests were into the song, the song kept going. If they weren't as into a song, he would change it and everyone would just magically gravitate back onto the dance floor. We have him to thank for the best party of our life! We received so many compliments about how awesome our DJ was! I knew that we would receive our ceremony and speeches in full, but I was so excited to receive the audio to hear that EVERYTHING was recorded! It is so fun to be able to listen to the whole experience over again and hear every song that was playing at our wedding. I cannot recommend this company and Keith enough.
So impressed with Ross and his team. LNFE is extremely professional, communicates effectively, flexible, and works to understand the vision a couple has for their wedding music. Highly recommended!

Ross did a wonderful job DJ-ing for our wedding. He is extremely professional and attentive to your particular taste and wants. You will not regret booking him. Highly recommended.
Sorry for this long story, but I feel its important to start at the beginning. This review is specifically for Ross, who was dj at our wedding, but I'm sure anyone would be 5 stars from Look No Further Entertainment! Anyways my story starts so long ago at one of the many bridal expos I visited. After a long day of mostly annoying and loud young men who think they can DJ had been yelling at me to book their services, a miracle happened, and I ran into Ross. I could tell Ross was immediately different than most of the DJ services I had talked to all day. He was professional and calm, and seemed more honest than a typical wedding vendor. Ross let us come to his studio so he could show off his DJ skills and talk one on one with my (now) husband and I, it was a nice personal touch in an age of "go online to hear my work". We hired him because it was clear he is passionate about his work. Ross is up for any challenge as well, because the music my husband and I listen to isn't what you would typically hear at a wedding. We gave him the strangest requests for our wedding music, like "make the ceremony sound like what is on obscure college radio" or "the reception dance music should sound similar to my homecoming dance circa 2008" . And I gotta tell you he hit the nail exactly on the head. The music he played for our wedding was everything we had dreamed about, almost like he was in our heads. Also you get a mp3 of all the music from that day, which is a nice memory to look back on. If you love music, please don't hire a generic DJ, Look No Further Entertainment is worth every penny for a perfect musical experience.
Ross is amazing! First and foremost, when we were in the process of reaching out to DJs for our wedding, he was by far the most responsive and made himself very available for a consultation. We hired him based on his wonderful reviews, and they were 100% correct! Planning a Texas wedding in New York City was stressful at times, but never when it came to Ross and LNFE! He was a Skype or phone call away, and his online music selection tools are awesome. He is very perceptive of the general feel you're wanting for your music! On the day of the wedding, he had everything set up and ready to go in no time (he also set up the sound system for our outdoor ceremony, and everything was perfect!), and the reception playlist was everything we were hoping for! Aside from, of course, playing our requests, he filled in the extra time with perfect picks that matched our tastes and also kept guests of all ages out on the dance floor - everyone had a great night, and we can't thank Ross enough for making our wedding night so much more fun and special! This is the guy to trust with your music needs - he is everything pleasant and professional!
Response from the Vendor on 11/15/2016
Thank you for the feedback. You all are so awesome! Working with you both was amazing. LNFE appreciates your review and appreciates that you allowed us be part of your wedding day.
Thank you SO much!
At our initially meeting with Ross, we were so blown away by their professionalism and passion for music. For our wedding we booked with Keith. He had everything set up before guests arrived and blew us away! Not only did he keep the party going with great music selections, he also helped us keep with our timeline! At one point during our reception he even pointed out to our photographer the gorgeous sunset that was going on so we could get a great photo. We love LNFE, so glad we spent the extra money to make such a memorable night. Thanks Ross and thanks Keith!!
LNFE MADE OUR WEDDING A BLAST!!!!!
We couldn't afford to go with our plan A which was a live band, so we decided to look into a DJ and I'll tell you right now it was more fun than I could have had with any band ! Keith was our DJ, but both him & Ross were amazing and easy going when I spoke with them over the phone during the planning! They want to do what YOU want to do! Keith also gave me great suggestions based on experience -which were so helpful for me! When unexpected rain/delay happened, he was so fast to start playing some music and ease the guests into good vibes- he was so quick to act fast so that there was not one second of awkwardness which was so important to me! He didn't just play a playlist or play a whole song through unless the crowd was feeling it.. he kept EVERYONE OF ALL AGES on the dance floor and based his actions strictly off of the vibes of the crowd. He also announced all of the big things / special requests and handled the entire day and timeline better than some wedding planners could! I would recommend them 100% and would book them again no doubt!
Book them now!! We met with Ross initially and was blown away with their DJ packages, the advanced technology, and his energy and excitement for our wedding day. It turned out he was not available for our wedding, but we were able to book Ric and cannot say enough great things about him! He was very responsive and made sure our wedding music was truly a reflection of me & my husband. Every guest I've seen after the wedding has raved about how incredible our DJ was!
Response from the Vendor on 09/13/2016
Thank you so much for this. We loved working with you and your family and friends. Thanks for appreciating our love for music. We had a great time glad to hear you all enjoyed it just as much as we did.
Look No Further Entertainment is amazing! Their online music portal makes creating your personalized playlist super easy. The dance floor was hopping all night. Our guests are still raving about how great the music was. My husband and I highly recommend Look No Further Entertainment for your wedding!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/13/2016
Thank you for this review. Its always awesome to hear things like this.
Ross did an amazing job of executing on our vision for the big day! We met with Ross a couple times before the event to communicate our layout and feel for the day and Ross immediately put us at ease with how quickly he connected with our vision. Ross did our ceremony and reception music and his recommendations for the ceremony music were perfect! We gave him a couple of song recommendations for the reception music, but we mostly trusted Ross to set the tone. His music selections were on point! I've really enjoyed reliving the day through the musical recordings Ross put together for both the ceremony and reception!
Response from the Vendor on 09/10/2016
Thanks for the wonderful review! I'm so happy that everybody had fun and we could bring your vision to life. Congratulations again!
We hired Ross for our wedding and he was truly perfect. I was planning the wedding from out of town and that can already lead to some stress but Ross made everything seamless and lots of fun. Our phone meetings were always very productive and we could tell Ross had a great idea of what we expected for our wedding. He would also provide suggestions on how to keep things running smoothly. During our planning we had mentioned a band that we liked that isnt main stream and asked Ross to incorporate it into our dinner songs and on the day of the wedding we heard the band right as we sat down for dinner. It meant a lot to us that he really listens and does everything he can to make the client happy. Ross was very professional on the day of the wedding and such a great guy to work with. He kept the night moving and really knows how to read a crowd. He also provided us with beautiful up-lighting that really made the room stand out. We would absolutely recommended him to anyone and would love to be able to hire him again someday!
These guys are awesome!! We first met Ross at the Bridal extravaganza and gave him a call to get quotes. After meeting with him we immediately knew we wanted his company to DJ our wedding. He brought in Ric to DJ our wedding specifically (he was from Houston, as is my new husband, so they immediately hit it off). We loved getting to meet with him, and getting to know him on a personal level prior to the wedding. We felt like they truly tried to get an understanding of the feel we wanted, and the atmosphere we wanted them to create... and they definitely delivered! They set up multiple in person, and phone meetings to go over everything with us, and double and triple check all my crazy demands/wants. But not only were they super accommodating prior to the wedding, but even at the wedding they were amazing too! They mic'd everyone for us, they MC'd, they did the anniversary dance, garter toss and everything perfectly! We didn't have to worry about anything, they orchestrated it all behind the scenes and worked amazingly well with our coordinator too! They even set up the up-lights for us.. which were BEAUTIFUL and I HIGHLY recommend getting!! They completely set the tone and make everything look a million times better!! Ross was extremely accommodating with letting us have as many up-lights as we wanted, and adding more as we got closer to the wedding. ON TOP OF ALL THIS.... they gave us a recording of the entire reception as well... it was awesome! We loved working with them and would recommend Ross and Ric to any one interested in having DJ entertainment at their wedding!!
Ross is amazing!!!!!!!! We had the best dance party at our March wedding because of him. He was very professional and super easy to work with. Book him, you won't regret it!!! <3 Mr & Mrs. Atkins
Ross was the first vendor at the bridal extravaganza I met. He immediately sold my mother and I with his amazing confidence of making my day special. We had several conversations about what we wanted played and the day of the wedding every song came on at the right time. Every song was awesome and he knew how to keep everyone dancing.
Ross was awesome, everything at our wedding seemed to go like clockwork and it had a lot to do with our DJ announcing what was happening. Our DJ provided us with our sound at our outdoor ceremony so guests could hear everything and provided a microphone for our harpist as well. At the reception the music was exactly want we were looking for, we gave Ross a short list of songs we liked and he went off of that! I had always imagined having a wedding were guests were up dancing and having fun and Ross helped make this happen. Ross is very confident in his skills and it made us very comfortable when working with him because we felt like there was nothing to worry about!
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2016
Thank you for the wonderful feedback!!! I'm so happy to hear that I could help bring your vision to life. Congratulations to you again.
What can I say about Ross and LNFE? Simply the best around. He came early, set up, and provided great service. My family and I are more into country music....not exactly party music. Ross was able to respond to requests, while still keeping in some upbeat music to keep the energy up. Couples have a tendency to downplay the need of a good DJ. The DJ sets the tone of the evening, and can make or break a good reception. I would highly recommend Ross and LNFE for anyone planning a wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2016
Wow, thanks for sharing guys. I love being able to adapt to different clients needs and nothing makes me happier than hearing that we did a good job. I can't thank you enough for the opportunity!
Ric was our wedding DJ and it was GREAT!! He setup his equipment and lighting promptly and kept the party going all night long. I highly recommend using his for your wedding or any special event. You will not be disappointed :)
I could not have asked for a better DJ. Both Sammy and Louis were amazing. Played all the right songs and kept the party going. Louis worked with husband to make sure all things moved seamlessly. I cannot recommend them enough. Music was amazing and you get an MP3 of all the music played.
Ross was great and truly helped make our day amazing with his DJ skills. We even threw some last minute requests at him and he handled it like the pro he is. His online tools make planning your music for both the ceremony and reception incredibly easy. I would highly recommend him. Thanks again Ross!
Ross was recommended highly by a friend of mine who is in the wedding industry. He did a very impressive job of playing songs we love and filling in the rest while keeping everyone on the dance floor. I think this is the first time I’ve ever been able to say “Wow, that was a really great wedding DJ!” He was very responsive to questions during the planning process and I know he put a lot of care and effort into the music. Ross is a genuinely fantastic person and a fantastic DJ, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to make him my DJ for my wedding day!
After reading what felt like hundreds of reviews for different DJs for our Austin wedding, we contacted a handful to get quotes and information on their services. I'm very much about first impressions and timeliness of communication, especially when planning our event from out of town. Ross from Look No Further Entertainment responded to my information request very quickly, and provided the information I asked for.
After communicating back and forth with Ross about the vision we had for our wedding, and reading up on his background and experience, he made us feel completely at ease that he would deliver exactly what we were looking for.
We hired Look No Further Entertainment to provide music and uplighting for our reception only. Ross quickly provided us with online tools to plan our day, select music we wanted played and even music we didn't want played. The online tools were very straight forward and easy to use, but if I did have a question Ross responded to my emails within 24-48 hours. I wish all our vendors provided the level of service that Look No Further Entertainment did!
Ross also explained to us that he liked to meet his clients in person so that he could get a better feel for them and their vision for their big day. Being from out of town, it was difficult for us to travel to Austin, but Ross arranged his schedule to meet with us when we would already be down there for our tasting.
After meeting Ross in person, and hearing a live sample of his mixing ability, we knew we had made the right choice in DJs. On our wedding day, Ross was set up and ready to go well ahead of time (unlike some of our other vendors). He made our reception everything we had envisioned it to be. If I could give Look No Further Entertainment 10 stars, I would!
100% professional, builds your day around you and nobody else, delivers 110% of what he promises. Thank you Ross for making our big day so memorable!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/18/2016
You are so welcome!!! - I can't tell you how much I appreciate the opportunity and the feedback. Planning from out of town can be especially tough - especially when trying to choose a dj. I've strived to make that process easier and more fun fo...
r everybody and it sounds like I'm succeeding. Thank you for letting me participate in your special day and congratulations again!
There truly are no words that can explain how amazing Ross made our wedding. We chose him because he was able to mix up music and feel the crowd to see what was working and what wasn't. All of our wedding guests were up dancing the entire time and loved every minute of it! He even let my brother in law and uncle do a freestyle rap!! I wish we could rewind time and go back to that night!!
Every wedding DJ should be like Ross. He was truly interested in our musical interests, and he helped fill in the gaps to create the perfect wedding for us. He even sent us a recording of the entire reception the day after the wedding!
Planning a wedding long distance presents certain challenges, but Ross at Look No Further Entertainment alleviated all of those concerns. From the get-go, he was accessible, professional, and just an all-around pleasant person.
Having searched the internet for the best of the best, we found Ross and set up a Skype interview to talk through his style and process. We were blown away by the amount of prep he's done for his craft. He had great insight into not only how music affects a party, but also what makes a great environment, how people react to certain elements, etc. This guy knew his stuff and it was evident right away.
He then was able to provide contracts, wedding music prep tools, etc online which made it incredibly easy to plan for.
Throughout the process he worked with us to craft a plan for how we were going to incorporate all the different genres we wanted represented - from jazz, country, tejano - to new wave, pop, rap - Ross never broke a sweat.
For the big day, Ross and his associate came early, evaluated the space, made adjustments, and knew what to do without coordination, which was less stress on me as the bride. He set up lights too which completely transformed my venue.
The music was PERFECT for both ceremony and reception! The crowd was dancing non-stop. We even had Ross play videos throughout the ceremony which were executed flawlessly. He was able to read the crowd to ensure everyone was having a good time.
On a personal note, my wedding coordinator turned out to be a dud so I really relied a lot on Ross for helping me keep on the timeline. He proved to be more valuable than my actual planner in terms of making sure we were on track. I seriously couldn't have done it without his professionalism.
And then we got the best treat - a recording of the ceremony and reception so we could relieve the day!
I can't speak highly enough of him, and I am a picky person. Do not hesitate to book this DJ especially if you're looking for no-hassles and every assurance that things are going to turn out spectacularly.

Thanks Amanda. Your wedding was a blast & I feel so lucky to have participated. Congratulations again to you & Justin!
BEST. NIGHT. EVER. We started researching our DJ options really early on in planning as it was the most important detail for us. We ended up choosing Look No Further and were blown away by Ross's talent. We didn't really give Ross much direction at all and he absolutely nailed it. I had sent an email to him saying "I like 60s, 70s, my husband likes 80s and we grew up in the 90s" and he ended up playing the absolute best combination of songs. People who we never thought would be dancing were crowding the dance floor. I want to have another party just so that I can hire Ross again. Hands down the best!
Ross did a terrific job as our wedding DJ. There were three main things we really liked about him:
First, he will provide an mp3 recording of the reception, including any toasts, etc., that might be given. If he's using a sound rig to amplify your ceremony, you'll also get a really high-quality recording of that. We are really happy that we're going to have those recordings, especially a couple of songs that members of our families performed during the ceremony
Second, he was great at perceiving what we wanted and didn't want, and knew when to use a light touch in selecting the music. Prior to the event, we gave him a playlist we wanted him to play during dinner, and then a looser set of suggestions for the dancing portion of the reception. During the dancing portion, he did a terrific job of "filling in the blanks" for us -- the music was high-energy, but not cheesy at all. During dinner, he played the set of songs we asked for, only he came up with a great order in which to play the songs. This list even included some pretty specific covers/live versions of songs, which he was more than willing to track down.
Third, Ross was incredibly flexible. The terrible Hill Country floods occured the previous weekend, and we had to make a number of last-minute adjustments. Ross actually arrived about an hour early to set up, and was really responsive to what we needed.
We strongly recommend Ross for your wedding, or any event for that matter.
Ross and Keith were super helpful and accommodating. Keith was our DJ for our wedding and he was great! He played all the music we requested specifically (we were kinda picky), and filled in the rest to make our reception an awesome party. Our timeline was, not unexpectedly, off considerably from what we had planned, but Keith helped us keep everything rolling wonderfully. He really helped to manage the event very well, and was a pleasure to work with. We are very glad to have worked with Ross, Keith, and Look No Further, and would certainly recommend them for any event.
Working with Ross and Look No Further Entertainment was easy and fun! His DJ-ing definitely took our wedding to the next level and created the perfect mood. He knew exactly which songs to play at the right time to keep the flow of the evening moving perfectly! During the planning process, Ross was available to answer any questions we had. He met with us to learn our musical tastes, and helped us put together the perfect songs for an unforgettable ceremony and reception. Ross is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and cool! I would recommend him and Look No Further Entertainment to any of my friends!
I was really glad that I chose Look No Further to be the DJ at my wedding. Keith Jones was our DJ and he killed it. Very friendly, laid back, easy to get along with, worked really well with me and the wedding coordinator. I was specifically looking for someone who would just spin good records and NOT be on the mic. Keith worked really, really well with my huge "Must Play" and "Play If Possible" lists and played as much as possible. He has really good timing and read the crowd really well. Keith had awesome gear, impressive sound system and lighting. A legit DJ (not just hitting play from a laptop) great mixing. Had a minor glitch when the sound dropped out during the ceremony, but he had to setup 80ft. away and run his cable across a stream for our specific venue, wasn't a big deal.
Would highly recommend Keith.
Keith was great! We were so busy with the other details of the wedding that we really didn't get to make our own playlist, which was a tool available to us. We just emailed a couple of songs we liked to him, and he extrapolated from there. We loved all the songs.
Thanks, Keith!
Ross was an unbelievable DJ and worked so well with our eclectic music choices. He kept things steady during the cocktail hour, got the dance floor moving with some of our parents favorite music genres from the 60's/70's and some Latin sway. Finally at the end of the night he mixed our love and need of EDM flawlessly.
What we loved most about Ross and his crew is the background as a real club DJ so he understands how to transition which is always important to us. We absolutely loved that he sent us the MP3 for the night so we can still listen to it and send it to our friends and family.
Look No Further Entertainment is definitely the only choice you should look at for any DJ needs in the Austin region.
