Ricardo Barraza Music

Ricardo was incredibly fun and awesome to work with in performing the acoustic music for the ceremony and cocktail hour for our October 2018 wedding.. He is professional, organized and easy going. His music taste perfectly matched with our own and made our wedding feel so unique. We received so many compliments on the music from our guests. For my walk down the aisle, Ricardo beautifully performed “ Overwhelmed” by Tim McMorris and it really made the moment so special. I will never forget it. Ricardo was the perfect compliment to our wedding day and he really made it more special. Ricardo has an wide range of different styles of songs and can accommodate almost any request. I cannot recommend Ricardo more highly.

Ricardo was a joy to work with, and without a doubt the most popular vendor we had at our August wedding! Ricardo can play hundreds of songs as a solo act, and is more than happy to learn any custom songs that the couple would like to include as part of their day. We had a number of odd song requests for our ceremony music, and Ricardo was happy to take care of them. He truly personalized our ceremony and really set the mood for the entire evening. We received so many compliments on his acoustic abilities throughout the evening, and requests for his set list! As a last minute request, Ricardo also offered to provide a wireless microphone for our Justice of the Peace as our venue did not have one to provide - such a lifesaver! He's truly focused on ensuring that the couple have the most stress-free wedding day, and we really felt that throughout the booking process. We can't wait to work with Ricardo again!

We chose Ricardo based on his sound - he is without a doubt a super talented musician, but he is also incredibly professional, organized, flexible and easy to work with. Planning a wedding from overseas, I can’t say more about how streamlined and easy to understand his pre-event process is, with one template to gather all of your event details, music choices and preferences together, it is one less thing to worry about organizing. The flexibility to choose specific songs where we wanted to (processional, recessional, first dance etc.) and just give him a genre to work from for the cocktail hour, took a huge weight off our shoulders and the result was beyond perfect. Guests came up to us throughout the night and well after complimenting the music and they were shocked to find out that we hadn’t handpicked each song. He also sings beautifully in Spanish! He learned new songs for us, provided a microphone for our officiant, was always accessible and ready with suggestions where we needed them – and beyond the logistics, his sound is just incredible and I’ll never forget the tone it set for our wedding day. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Ricardo surpassed all expectations and was the perfect addition to our 9/23/17 wedding. He played at both the ceremony at Union Mission Chapel in Scituate and the reception at Scarlet Oak Tavern in Hingham. Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed listening to the wide variety of music he performed throughout the night. Ricardo was professional and easy to work with through the entire process, even learning the specific song we wanted for our first dance. We could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him!
