From the very first meeting Rico demonstrated his professionalism and an awesome personality, we knew right away that is who we wanted to be our DJ/MC. DJ Rico was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Even through Covid, as we were l...
osing our minds replanning many times, he was patient and very flexible as well as guided us through our next steps which we cannot express enough gratitude for. When the wedding day finally arrived, everything was seamless, he was able to mix my Portuguese culture with my wife’s Greek culture and had everyone up and moving all night long! We received SOO many compliments on DJ Rico and his team. He does an awesome job hyping up the all the guests and truly creates a fun party atmosphere! Another benefit of using Rico Entertainment is they also have many options for many different photo booths. It was that was a huge hit as well, our friends and family enjoyed all the fun pictures they took. They set up and break it down so seamlessly and bring props to make the pictures fun! We also choose to add the dancing cloud, which is during your first dance as bride and groom. It feels like it is just you two dancing on a cloud in the sky! All of our guests’ jaws dropped during our first dance, to say the least it was well worth it! Also, Rico has a website that makes music planning so easy and makes you feel organized! The whole process of song selection was smooth from what song you want walking down the aisle to what song you want to enter your venue to what songs you don’t want to hear that night. Two weeks before the wedding we had a final meeting and we went over all the details and did a step by step of the ceremony and reception. He took care of all our needs and didn’t have to worry about anything. We felt like we were in trusted hands during the entire wedding planning process, he truly is the best!! I would definitely recommend Rico and his team for any wedding or party, we had a blast dancing the entire night! Thank you so much and best of luck moving forward Rico. Hopefully we cross paths soon in the future.
Rico, Jennifer, and Team,
Victor and I want to thank you for the beautiful photographs you took at our wedding. We will treasure our wedding album as well as photo booth pictures. We were so pleased you were part of the wedding down to every la...
st detail. I appreciate your timing, and when I asked to fix something, you had no hesitation and completed it promptly. We love our two videos of the wedding highlighting our daughter and son's speeches. The LED Robot show we're the best, and guests are still talking about the music and robots to this day. It was a blast, and a day we will never forget. Go with Rico Entertainment and the team- we did the complete package - Engagement Photos, Wedding Photography, Uplighting and Decor, custom monograms, Videos ( video trailer was a tear-jerker ), Magic Mirror Photobooth, and, of course, DJ Rico kept the guests on the dance floor. It was the best decision to go with the complete package, everyone communicates, and timing is everything at the wedding. Rico gave suggestions and made the day go smooth.
A few weeks before, he goes over the day and names, etc. They offer an online portal for music and scheduling. Super friendly, easy to work with, very accommodating, always there to answer questions, and I had a lot of questions. 😊 Their energy was amazing. Jennifer did our photos and a lot of team members as well. They all did a great job. She was super sweet. They did a great job with my bridal party, Grooms, and family to ensure we had pictures. My only suggestion is to write down all the images you want to take and the Places you Want to Take them Because I missed a few places; I wish I had Remembered taking pictures in particular parts of St Clements Castle. It was a beautiful day. I Will never forget it. The wedding photo book is so beautiful, spend the money because you won't regret it. We are glad we spent the money. Ask them to see their photobook samples...they are beautifully done. We have so many Complements on the video, on the photos, and especially on Our photo book. It's been 7 months, And we Watch videos every day And look at our wedding photo album. Highly recommend Rico and the team. I'm sure I forgot a lot of details. ....they did an excellent, best time, unforgettable time...you won't regret your decision.
Not only was Rico very accommodating with having to reschedule our reception due to Covid-19, he was also very professional! He kept me in the loop throughout the night on how things were going. Followed the time line, and easily made last minu...
te changes as I asked. He even helped keep the LED Tall man I added to the package a secret from my husband for a Party Starter Surprise! And let me tell you, my husband AND the crowd loved it! Their Dancing cloud is also one of a kind! If you are on the fence and not sure if you want it, DO IT!
We could not recommend RICO Entertainment enough! We decided to go with Rico as our wedding DJ after he was the DJ at my sister's wedding and everyone raved about the music. Rico and his team made the music and photo booth portion of our weddin...
g day so perfect. We were able to have a variety of music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing portion of the reception. In addition to being an awesome DJ team, RICO Entertainment was extremely professional. They made the planning portion of our wedding so easy and were so easy to work with on the day of our wedding. We were so impressed and were so happy!
They made my party be the most memorable day of our life! They were amazing and made sure to play what would make our party amazing !

RICO Entertainment was truly amazing on our Wedding date 11/12/2021. From the cloud experience, lights, and music; the customer service and accommodation from RICO’s team was lovely. I highly recommend RICO Entertainment for any event you have ...
coming up. You will love it. Thank you, RICO once again for an unforgettable night. We are truly thankful!

My biggest regret of the day was having Rico. After explaining a family tradition of a chant that would be happening at the reception he said “good thing you told me because I wouldn’t let it happen otherwise, nothing will happen without your a...
pproval” so we felt good because we said absolutely no surprises. But he let our friends bring in a minor league baseball mascot and played ‘take me out to the ball park’ as it walked in. Needless to say we were furious that he let this happen after having that conversation at our pre meeting. He reluctantly gave us our tip back but I do not think that was enough. We just got our wedding video back and we realized he must not have been paying attention to the end of the ceremony because it was a very awkward amount of time after the kids from the time he finally played the processional song. At the reception when he announced us he did not play the song from where we discussed and instead played from the start instead of the chorus. I am extremely unhappy with the service provided and the way he handled the situation.
Response from the Vendor on 11/05/2021
Unfortunately this bride had a great wedding, all of the guests were non-stop dancing all night however she needed to find any reason to point the finger at someone for a surprise gone bad that her OWN guests (that had nothing to do with our en...
tertainment company) decided to bring for them the day of the wedding on the day of the wedding. An entire table of her friends decided to surprise them during the dancing portion of the wedding with the mascot from the yardgoats supposedly because they all loved baseball and had all just recently attended a game and they thought it would be cool to surprise them the day of the wedding. We had nothing to do with this surprise as the mascot just showed up and the bride's friends requested that we play "bring me out to the ballpark theme" for brief period, the mascot was in the room for 3- 5 minutes but this bride instead of getting upset and pissed off at her own guests and her own friends she instead decided to talk trash about our services. Unfortunately this is a case of bridezilla which we wish we had not been part of their wedding because they did not appreciate nor deserve our team and that we made their wedding great! To her point in the review, in our final meeting prior to the wedding, we did tell her that we don't let anyone grab the microphone unless they are on the schedule which we followed to the "T" with her family tradition chant. One more thing, the bride's sisters had a surprised toast with a song that they sang which we had to spend 30 minutes downloading a song from Hamilton that they wanted to sing during the toasts, this was a surprise for the couple however we assisted the maids of honors to pull this off to surprise the bride, imagine if we hadn't allowed and assisted with this special moment, the bride's sisters would have been upset and not been able to do their toasts how they wanted...and guests what - the bride cringed while we started playing their skit and then she was all smiles when it was something that was a surprise by her sisters. In regards to the timing of the ceremony music, we take direction from the maitre d or the wedding venues day of planner, we play tracks when we are directed especially if there is over 100 feet of walking down the ceremony isle and in addition we don't have control of what external videographers put into the final video as they could not use the correct audio files or exact timing as it happens on the day of the wedding for video editing purposes. Needless to say, we take responsibility for when something goes wrong, however in this case the bride needed to find someone to blame for something that her friends / guests that she invited to her own wedding planned for her and her husband. We have the pictures and video to show how clean this wedding was, no thanks to this bride for making it so unenjoyable experience for our team. Regards, RICO
Rico and his team were the best. Rico guided my husband and I through everything for the wedding and we can never thank him enough. As crazy as it seems, the moment we met him we knew that we could not have anyone else as our DJ. In addition, h...
is photographers and videographers were amazing as well as the magic mirror and his team there. Having the drone was also pretty exciting well! Rico made everything easy and having our DJ, photographer, and videographer in one made everything stress free. We would HIGHLY suggest Rico for any event!!
We just hired Rico and his crew for our wedding this past weekend, 9/19/21 at Villa Barone Hilltop Manor. Everything from our first meeting to wedding day was amazing! Rico has a website that makes music planning so easy! He has prepopulated ex...
ample songs and the option for any song you find on YouTube. The way his website is configured it leaves no room for questions or missing pieces! The whole process of song selection was smooth from what song you want walking down the aisle to what song you want to enter your venue to.
Now on to Rico himself.... he is everything you want in a DJ/ vendor. He walks you through from beginning to end, leaves no questions unanswered and legit makes you feel like the most important person on your big day. He hypes up the crowd hypes up the bride and groom and creates a party atmosphere! Another perk of using Rico Entertainment is they also have options for many different photo booths. One stop shop! They set up and break it down in the blink of an eye and bring props to make the pictures fun! We also opted for something called the dancing cloud. Which is during your first dance as bride and groom. It feels like it is just you two dancing on a fluffy cloud. From beginning to end him and his team did exactly what they said they were going to. They are amazing and did not disappoint. The vibe is unmatched and the energy is amazing. Book him and you won't regret! Rico thank you for the amazing time it was priceless!
Rico and his team are amazing! We used them for DJ and their magic mirror photo booth. All of our guests could not stop talking about how great the music was and the great variety of music that was played. The magic mirror photo booth was also ...
a big hit! Every time my husband and I walked Into the lobby there were a ton of people taking photos.
Rico and his team were so easy to work with and very communicative. We highly recommend Rico Entertainment Events to everyone!
Rico was absolutely amazing! He is professional, kind, fun, and an all around a great human.
During our wedding once the music started playing guests did not leave the dance floor the whole night and raved about the music the entire next day! ...
He kept the party going and the energy up! We love Rico and would recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible DJ! He is the BEST!
Rico was amazing! Since we had to postpone our wedding for an entire year due to COVID, I feel like we've been working with Rico forever. We originally met Rico and his team at a bridal show and knew we had to have him as our DJ. Throughout the...
entire process, Rico was organized, easy to communicate with, and has a great personality. Prior to the wedding, Rico provided us with an easy online system to submit must plays, do not plays, schedule of events, etc. and reviewed this with us the week of the wedding. At the wedding, Rico played a mix of genres that got all of our guests up and dancing. He really created a fun, wedding party atmosphere! We also appreciate that Rico let us add a few special touches to our day...My dad used to DJ (back in the day) and wanted to play a small set at our wedding. Rico graciously gave him the microphone and let him play a few songs. It was definitely one of the highlights of my dad's day and so much fun for our family! I would definitely recommend Rico for organization, ease of communication, and creating a perfect wedding party atmosphere. We had a blast dancing and singing the entire night! Thank you so much!
Rico went above and beyond for our wedding! We could not have asked for a better DJ! Prior to our wedding, he gave us a super easy to use portal where we could put all our wedding information in one place and include all our song requests! Prio...
r to the wedding we had a meeting to run over all the information! The night of the wedding he played music to keep everyone on the dance floor and really got the party started! Working with Rico made our wedding so much fun! People always remember the music at a wedding and everyone keeps telling us how much fun the dance floor was!

Thanks for this awesome review! We had an awesome time at your wedding event! Congrats and best wishes with all your future plans!!! Rico
From the jump Rico was awesome. From the beginning, even to the last day leading up to wedding he was always an email or text away. Never once did we have any questions left unanswered. When the big day came for us we were not nervous at all wi...
th how the entertainment was going be. From start to finish everyone was on the dance floor having a great time. We've been hearing nothing but great feedback from all of our guests. Everyone loved the music, the lighting, the way Rico hyped up the crowd. Rico and his staff were amazing, we definitely will recommend Rico Entertainment Events to anyone who would need any of the services they offer. Rico thank you again from the bottom of our hearts, you made that day extremely special, fun and stress free.
When we first met Rico Entertainment Events at a Bridal show in Hartford, We knew that Rico needed to be our DJ for the wedding. Rico Entertainment offers a variety of packages and extra amenities to make your wedding exciting. Meeting with Ric...
o was not a stressful experience at all. He made sure all our needs were taken care of and made it easy to hire a DJ and Photographers in one. Two weeks before the wedding we had a final meeting and we went over all the details and did a step by step of the reception. He took care of all our needs and didn’t have to worry about anything. It was so good we added a couple of additional things like a photo booth and a Giant Robot for crazy hour. When the wedding day arrived, Rico’s Photographers were on time and we were able to get all the photos we wanted. At the church they took amazing photos with us and our families. When we got to the Reception at St. Clements Castle they took amazing pictures of us in the garden and outside the castle. DJ Rico had our guest enjoy the music he was playing from cocktail hour til the end. Let’s just say our guest are still bragging about Rico and how much fun they had. He got our guest excited and hyped for the introductions. Rico did a great job for our first wedding dance. We surprised our guest with a karaoke song that we sing all the time. After Dinner we played song slow dance songs but when it was time to party, my wife changed her dress and Rico had us walk back into the ballroom with a Giant robot for crazy hour. The ballroom was lit up with all of his amazing lighting and we got glow sticks for us and our guests. The dance floor was full for the rest of the night and Rico kept the party going. DJ Rico was the best investment for our wedding. I don’t regret a single purchase we made with Rico. I wish we could of had Rico for hours even at our after party!! We have guest at our wedding that want to use him for their wedding day. I am so grateful that Rico could be there for our wedding and made it the best night to remember.

Amazing time
DJ Rico was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the beginning he demonstrated his professionalism and experience in DJing events. Even through Covid, as I was losing it, he was patient and guided my husband and I through our next ...
steps which I cannot express enough gratitude for. During the big event, everything was seamless, he was able to mix my Latin culture with my husbands Italian culture and everyone had the most amazing time. The amount of compliments we received on DJ Rico and how awesome the music was (along with all the sore bodies the next day) was all testament to DJ Rico’s skill and performance and how great the music he put on was. Along with his DJ services, we also got the magic mirror and let me just say, that was a huge hit as well, our friends and family enjoyed all the fun pictures they took.
Rico did an amazing job! He helped walk my husband and I through all the steps to make a playlist for our wedding. We definitely had a unique vibe and Rico worked with us through everything to make sure we had the night of our dreams. 10/10 rec...

Thanks for having us at your wedding event! Thanks for the awesome review! We loved your vision and the Halloween theme! It was dope!

Rico
I can’t say enough positive things about Rico and his amazing A team! We met Rico at a Bridal Expo and was enamored by his energy, professionalism and knowledge on all things wedding entertainment. We scheduled an appointment and booked him imm...
ediately.
From the very beginning Rico was consistently organized, helpful and excited for our special day. Even through a pandemic, Rico responded to all of our questions and was super flexible. I love that they offer an online portal for music and scheduling. It made everything so easy.
The day of the wedding Rico and his team did not disappoint. The ceremony music was perfect and our ceremony was streamed for our guests at home to see. This was super important to us, especially since we had to cut our guest list significantly due to the pandemic. Our guests loved the photo booth and the pictures were amazing! Rico had our guests on the dance floor the entire night! He completely manifested our vision and captured our diverse Jamaican/Chilean/American audience. Rico was the one to make sure we were running on schedule and all things happened as we discussed. I want to highlight his immense knowledge on weddings because even though my wedding coordinator was MIA during the entire reception; Rico was the one to make sure things were still moving along like our dances, toasts, cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss, sparkler send off and so much more.
I can go on and on, but just know that you are in GREAT hands with Rico and his team!
Thank you Rico from Tonesha & Sean!
Rico entertainment was the heartbeat of our wedding reception. Super professional through the ceremony and throughout the night. Nothing but complements from our guests as well as our venue. Rico will be our recommended for anyone who asks

sh-speaking family and English-speaking friends, and Rico did not disappoint! He was very professional and prompt with all correspondence. Rico was also very animated and helped move along our wedding day timeline perfectly. He played a variety of Top 40 hits as well as older classics that kept our dance floor packed ALL NIGHT! Our guests have said that our reception was the most fun event they have attended and I am certain that it is in large part due to Rico’s talent as a DJ/MC.
Rico and his team did a fantastic job everybody in my wedding luv him he was worth every penny definitely would recommend him me and my wife luv it words can’t describe how great and perfect it was from the cloud to the music to the photo booth...

d let me tell you we are still getting complements from the wedding from everyone on what a good party it was! Our dance floor was packed and everyone had a blast ! My husband and I highly recommend!
I found Rico and his team through a Google search because I was specifically looking for a DJ that was experienced with multi-cultured music and events. I was really worried that my side of the family who are largely Spanish speaking wouldn't ...
enjoy our wedding if there wasn't an appropriate mix of music to get them dancing... Most DJs stick to playing a small selection of Spanish songs, usually being Marc Antony, Elvis Crespo, Don Omar, or "Despacito"..... We gave Rico a small list of about 20 or 30 songs to give him an idea of the music we liked, and a few bachata/merengue songs that my parents had requested, let me tell you; he COMPLETELY went above and beyond our expectations! With the exception of a few elderly guests, everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. It's been three weeks since our wedding day, and no one has been able to stop talking about how much fun they had or how amazing our DJ was.
I honestly can not recommend Rico and his team enough! I think I originally messaged him on Facebook, he got back to me immediately and met with us the next day or so to go over what we were looking for... From the very first meeting to the day of our wedding, Rico always made us feel like we were his #1 priority - I would text him with random questions and he would get back right away with an answer. It's a no brainer why Rico and his team have so many 5-star reviews, he is literally THE BEST...
We also booked our photobooth with Rico as well- highly recommend! He has many different options, including the new Magic Mirror. We went with a traditional phootbooth - we walked in to our reception to see a giant igloo style photobooth! It was hilarious and a huge hit!! They had all the props to go with it and make it an unforgettable experience... My husband and I were so busy the entire night so we didn't get a chance to go inside but all our guests said they loved it.
If you are looking for an amazing, professional, and highly experienced DJ/event company that can transform your wedding into the party of a lifetime - literally stop your search here because Rico is your guy.
Rico and his team were fabulous the entire process of planning our wedding. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable in the field and provides expert service. He is extremely engaged throughout the wedding and makes sure that he accommoda...
tes the couple as well as he can. He also has a great personality and we instantly clicked with him which made us even more happy to have selected him. I highly recommend him and his team.
Where do I start? My daughter and I met with Rico about a year before the wedding. My daughter comes from Italian/Polish/Irish while her husband’s family is Spanish. My daughter told Rico what she wanted and I piped in and said that’s fine but ...
there will be all ages at wedding not just young adults. Rico looked at me and said don’t worry about that...I will make sure there is something for everybody. Boy he was not kidding. From the minute Rico got there he never stopped making sure all was perfect. Everything from the introduction to the very last dance was beyond perfect. The dance floor was never empty...we had guests from Ecuador and everything in between! He handled everything. Everybody raved about this awesome DJ. My only complaint? That we didn’t book the wedding another hour so we could enjoy more of this incredible man! Rico you have been such a support from day 1..answering any question I had or Erika. You are the BEST!
Rico Events are the best! 100% would recommend to anyone and everyone! If you are looking for a great DJ who actually cares and loves their job, Rico events is where it is at! We saw them at a bridal show and instantly caught our eye. Rico is v...
ery personable and makes sure that they take care of everything for you. They are very affordable and worked within our budget. Surprising for the price we paid, it feels like we got so much more! They have an organized way of doing things and it was one less headache I had to worry about. Rico ensured that we were taken care of from day one. Thats the hospitality I am talking about! They meet with so many people and do so many events thats its good to know that he remembers you even after meeting you only once. The day of the wedding, they set up quickly and cleaned up quickly too! They were out and packed up within 15 minutes of the wedding being over. Total professionals. The attendants at the photo booth were amazing as they were hyping up the guests as they were taking pictures. Rico is a total hype man and kept the party going and going and going! There was not a time that there was no one on the dance floor. He played all the right music at all the right times and made sure that we were on schedule with cake cutting and bouquet throwing. There are so many options that Rico has to offer from photography, dj, videography, different photo booths, etc. There is a reason why they are ahead of the wedding/ event industry. Would totally recommend to anyone! I would give 10 stars if I could. Thanks Rico for sharing my special day with me and making it even more special. Would definitely use for anymore upcoming events. Best DJ in CT!!! 1000x thank you for everything!
Rico was amazing! Best DJ around!
Rico did an amazing job at our wedding. He kept everyone on the dance floor and made sure to include our song requests. Highly recommended!
Needless to say, a wedding DJ is a focal point of a full FUN dance floor.. RICO Entertainment Events was the best!!!! Our DJ was amazing! He was on time, he was ready to go, very profesional, full of energy and made our reception a BLAST!
He...
played the perfect songs at the right times so the dance floor was never empty..We absolutely recommend RICO entertainment to anyone. Respond promptly to emails, calls, and text. They had great lighting and sound thanks to Luz and Edwin.. the investment was worth every single dime. The payment plan was super helpful and made it very affordable. We truly had the best night at out wedding and received lots of complements from our guest about our awesome DJ Javier. He knew this event was the biggest night of our life to celebrate with our friends and family. The flow of the night was phenomenal, he appreciate and understood every genre of music for all our guest.
Dance floor was on fire! Everybody was happy...we were super lucky to find them and have DJ Javier ......He made it just PERFECT! Thank you so much to make our night so much fun..AWESOME!
We had a multicultural wedding- American/Polish/Ecuadorian. Rico did such a fantastic job making everyone feel including. People didn’t stop dancing all night. Rico was extremely responsive and did all he could to make our night perfect (and it...
was). The photo booth was a huge hit as well for both the kids and older guests alike! Everyone complimented the mix of music we had, there was something for everybody. Rico will always be highly recommended by not just me, but our entire family.
Rico Entertainment has done 2 of my cousins’ weddings and recently mine. DJ Rico was receptive to everything we wanted and payed attention to all of the details. The dance floor was filled until the very last second! We didn’t want it to end!
Rico and his team are the true "MVP" of our once in a lifetime wedding day event/moment. Rico was the third and final DJ we had formally met with and we could not have been more impressed and pleased with our decision. Not once did we ever feel...
rushed or just another client as we explained every little detail we wanted and had envisioned with our day. Based on our initial first consultation, he knew exactly what we wanted and how we wanted it. Planning a wedding can get very time consuming/stressful and we greatly appreciated his promptness to answer any and all questions we had, even if we had any doubts, we rest assured knowing we were in good hands with Rico. We can now look back at our wedding day with everlasting countless memories, all thanks to the professional services we received from the beginning to the very end. Rico made sure to take time before our ceremony and during our reception to see if we were good and had any questions or concerns, which once again, gave us that assurance that we were in good hands. We STILL have wedding guest talking about how beautiful our wedding was and how everything flowed without a hitch from photography, magic mirror photo booth, videography to our very first dance on the dancing cloud and of course Rico himself, as DJ.
P.S. Rico's voice (wedding party) introduction was EVERYTHING!!! He took control and knew exactly what to say and at what moments to say it. He had family, friends and coworkers on their feet dancing all night long. We can't thank him and his team enough for their expertise, knowledge and professionalism they displayed on our wedding day.
Rico was an amazing DJ! Every time we met before the wedding, he was always so cool, calm, and collected about everything. He was so patient with us about everything and his website where we came up with our playlists was so easy to maneuver! W...
e got the dancing cloud upgrade and it was so worth it, our pictures of our first dance came out amazing!! He also is one of Aria’s preferred vendors. Aria’s rooms are so beautiful but they’re . And inexperienced DJ will not know how to handle the echo or acoustics of either room. There was no echo at all and the music played was everything that my husband and I requested. If you’re looking for a professional, experienced, and all around great DJ, Rico is definitely your guy!
Rico was great! We arrived very early and he was already there setting up ! He was also very organized and flexible . He’s perfect for Latin weddings !
Rico was nothing short of AMAZING! From the first meeting we had up until our wedding day he was so easy to communicate with. He also put together an awesome mash up from songs for my dad and I to do one of those funny father-daughter dances. G...
o with Rico you will not be let down!!
Thanks again Rico!!

Rico is the absolute best!! Our guests can’t stop talking about our wedding and it’s in large part due to the amazing work of Rico and his team. Everything was absolutely flawless — from the tech needed for our ceremony, to the DJ, photo booths...
, monogram, TVs, dancing cloud and more during the reception...we could not have asked for a better team to work with! Rico brought the party and his amazing personality the whole evening and we can’t wait to work with him again! He was there every step of the way during the planning process with any questions we had, again...THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
Rico was fantastic! We were happy to have the option to create our own playlist to add our must-play songs and to also mark off the "do not play" songs as well. During our initial planning meeting, Rico took the time to listen to what was most...
important to us, which we greatly appreciated. He kept everyone dancing the entire night and would hire him again in a second!
Rico and his team were superb!!! I had met Rico from a previous wedding that I had attended and knew that I had to speak to him for my own wedding. He made the whole experience easy and comfortable. We had meetings prior to the wedding were h...
e organized everything, made suggestions and had ideas that I had not even thought of. His team is the "A" Team they work well together and they are so easy to talk to. The music at the wedding was awesome, everyone enjoyed the photo booth and they can't stop talking about our entrance and how unique it was that everyone had their own song for their introductions. This team made my night!
Rico was friendly and easy to work with. He was organized and provided everything we asked for- even accommodating our more quirky song requests. We couldn’t be happier with the service he provided.
Rico and his team did a phenomenal job DJing and MCing our wedding on August 18, 2018. His professionalism and experience were evident throughout. He is well organized and with his online platform (which he provides as part of his services) mad...
e it super easy to provided our huge bridal parties song intros, our first dance, and parents dances. He listened to our requests and put together a killer playlist that had everyone on the dance floor the entire time. He cared about the subtle details and showed that he wanted to make our experience unique and matching to our guests and our culture. We got tremendous amount of compliments on the music and his team overall, and Rico really set the stage for our wedding. We DEFINITELY recommend him to others and if there were a 6 stars rating, we wouldn’t hesitate to provide to him, as it is well deserved. Thank you for making our special day truly amazing and so memorable. Best wishes always from Mr. and Mrs. Perez!

RICO Entertainment was professional, courteous, and catered to all of our needs. We highly recommend Rico and his staff to all couples seeking a first-class photographer, DJ, and or videographer for their big day.
Rico entertainment was our entertainment on September 30th 2018. Rico and his team are absolutely amazing, they did everything me and my husband wished for and more. He got the music perfect and the photo booth was a hit! He made it so everyone...

Lol thank you so much Rico and team

We have had a lot of different parties and celebrations where we have needed a photographer, videographer, and DJ. Our con-celebration was in April and by January we had no photographer, videographer, or DJ. One of the first things that attract...
ed us to RICO Entertainment Events was that we could get all three services all from the same vendor, keeping it less stressful for us. Additionally, the energy and passion that Rico exudes made our decision very easy. RICO Entertainment Events was able to put together all services in time for our event in April and from start to finish, we were nothing but impressed. First, the process to provide the DJ details about wedding party, introductions, songs, etc, was extremely easy through the online portal. Second, the photographer and videographer were prompt to our house and were so caring and attentive to us in trying to capture our most precious moments before our ceremony. At our reception, Rico immediately got the party started. We have never had such a positive experience with a DJ before as we have had with Rico. Lastly, the photo album process was extremely accessible and easy to make changes. We are so beyond pleased with the quality of photo album and video we received. If you are looking for a beyond professional, energetic, passionate, and caring company, RICO Entertainment Events is by far the best of the best. We are forever grateful for Rico and the amazing team at RICO Entertainment Events!
Could not imagine choosing another DJ for our wedding. I got so many compliments on booth the photo booth and the music. RICO was professional, fun and catered to our every wish! It was incredible and multiple brides-to-be asked me for this con...

Rico was the dj at our wedding on Friday September 21st. The next day people were asking who he was because he did such an amazing job. My husband and I met with him before the wedding and told him what kind of music we wanted to hear. Rico exc...
eeded our expectations!!!! There was not one moment when our dance floor was not packed.
Not only did Rico do an amazing job that night but he was wonderful to deal with. He answered every one of my questions and answered emails in a very timely fashion (most of the time within the hour!!!). If you are looking for a DJ you would be foolish to not hire Rico!
Great energy and skills. He was very knowledgeable and was able to play all the songs we wanted (even the ones that were not mainstream). He was able to adapt to our biracial wedding party. Awesome professional. Highly Recommend.
Rico and his team went above and beyond with their service. Our wedding day was a magical one! They made sure every step of the way went smoothly. Our guests were on the dance floor all night long! We love your work ethic Rico! A heart felt tha...

I were both out of state. But, when we met Rico and his team at a bridal shower, we were impressed! They worked with us throughout the entire process and were a huge support. They captured beautiful moments and with very high quality images. They are definitely one of a kind. I highly recommend their services. You will not regret working with Rico Entertainment. They will make sure you have an unforgettable event. Thank you for Everything Rico!
DJ Rico and his team did a spectacular job at our wedding on October 28, 2017. My husband Jeremy and I couldn't have been more pleased! He stuck to our playlist but also did a great job reading the room and playing the right song for the moment...

When planning my wedding, I wasn't sure where to start when choosing many of the vendors, but I knew that I wanted to have Rico as our DJ. Rico was the DJ at my brother's wedding three years ago and he did an awesome job. His energy and profe...
ssionalism were fantastic and he helped the night run smoothly and the music was great. Rico was so easy to work with and extremely helpful. I was a very indecisive bride and Rico was able to talk me through all of our options and help us make all of our music and lighting choices so easily. I felt confident that our wedding would run smoothly based on our conversations prior to our day and he exceeded my expectations. So many of our guests commented on how much fun they had at our wedding and I truly believe Rico was a major part of that. He knew the right songs to play to keep people on the dance floor all night. My brother has consistently recommended Rico as a wedding DJ and I will continue to do so as well. We could not have had a better experience and would encourage all couples looking for a DJ for their wedding to go with Rico!
I would recommend Rico Entertainment to anyone. He is an excellent photographer as well as dj. He met all of our needs and more. He was always in communication with us and listened and answered any questions we had. Rico and his staff were very...
personable and accommodating. I enjoyed the convenience of only needing to talk to one vendor for photography, dj, and photo booth. He also has other services to offer like videography and different graphics. Everyone made our wedding so special and we are truely grateful.
Everyone knows planning a wedding is extremely stressful. Hiring RICO Entertainment Events was one of the best decision we made. At first meeting, he listened to our concerns, ideas, and thoughts & put us right at ease. Everything that was ...
offered from drone video to photography to the cloud effects, to camera booth, to lighting made our decision quite easy and affordable. RICO Entertainment Event was hired on the spot!! We did not need to worry about a thing. Right after the ceremony & right before the reception was to begin, my daughter and new husband made some very last minute changes. RICO did not flinched, listened to their request, and accommodated their desires. The reception had an emotional aspect we never expected. It was all due to Rico!! From the moment the music started, everyone was on the dance floor - and I mean, EVERYONE!! I want to plan another event just to have RICO Entertainment Event host the evening. Thank You Rico for helping make my daughter's dream, a reality. Hire RICO Entertainment Event!!!! You won't regret it!!! :-)

Where do we even begin? The second we met with Rico and saw his setup with all of the photos, videos and samples we knew we had to book him instantly. For starters, you have a personal portal to go in and fill out all of the songs you would lik...
e to have played, the songs you wouldn’t like to have played and even several suggestions for each individual dance and most popular. You can plan everything out on the site and don’t need to fill out paper forms. Rico is incredibly responsive for any questions and gets back to you almost instantly. He was an amazing DJ and got and kept the party going. Our guests were on the dance floor literally the entire time and Rico really played the appropriate music for our group and kept everyone having an amazing time. Our videography through Rico Entertainment showed up early and captured all of our big moments, and our photobooth was a huge hit! We also did the dancing cloud and to our surprise, actually brought all of our guests to tears. The second the cloud started everyone was completely overcome with emotion on how beautifully and well timed it was. We will book Rico for any party we ever have and we think everyone else should too. So easy to group on several packages and options, you can even customize them. Thank you so much Rico Entertainment for helping make our Wedding day the absolutely best day of our lives and what our friends and family are calling the party of the year!
From the first time we encountered Rico at a friend's wedding we knew we wanted him for when our time came. At our first appointment we were very excited to have him due to his professionalism, enthusiasm and all his company had to offer. We ...
contracted him for DJ, Photography, Photo Booth, Videography, Monogram and Dancing on a Cloud. Most importantly on the "Big Day" the punctuality and attentiveness was awesome. Until this day people keep saying how they loved the music that was played at our wedding... lots of variety to make all of our guests get on the dance floor. People had a blast! Even after the event Rico continues to be amazing! Rico, you and your team are "Top Notch!!!" Continue to make couple's special day that much more memorable. We HIGHLY recommend Rico Entertainment!!! Miguel and I are sincerely grateful =) Thank you for all that you do!
Right from the moment we met with Rico Entertainment at a vendor expo, we knew he was the man for our wedding day entertainment!! Rico was very down to earth and listened to all of our wants and needs! He was very accommodating and understandin...
g! She truly made sure everything went as planned! My husband and I came up with an idea the very day of our wedding to improvise a dance with our bridal party after our introduction and Rico had no hesitation in going with it!! I recommend Rico Entertainment and their services and will guarantee you, you will have a full dance floor throughout your night at your event!! THANK YOU RICO!! You guys rocked it!
I can’t thank Rico and his Crew for a flawless wedding!! Being a all inclusive entertainment company was so convienent... we used them for not only Dj service but videography and photo booth and his staff was amazing and our guest had the times...
of their lives, he was great at reading our crowd and helping the party continue. I’m so glad we found him and his crew to share our day with !!
Rico was beyond amazing! My husband and I decided to go with the entire package deal and we do not regret it. The entire team at Rico Entertainment blew us away. The compassion they have for what they do is amazing. We had an entire team dedica...
ted to us for the entire day of our wedding start to finish. They worked with us on every request we had and made everything possible. The entertainment was phenomenal and our guests had a wonderful time. "Dancing on a cloud" made our first dance that much more memorable. The prices were reasonable and affordable for any type of budget. With families coming from two different ethnic backgrounds, Rico made sure to include both and make our wedding enjoyable for both of our families. Although we had the coldest and windiest day in September, our photographers worked with us and took some awesome shots and we can't wait to see the final product. Without a doubt, 100% recommend Rico Entertainment!!!
I was very skeptical when I first viewed Rico's Entertainment Website. I thought to myself how can someone have 5 stars. I even mentioned this to Rico on our first meeting. Believe me they deserve 10 stars. From start to finish Rico was calm ...
and patient with me. Rico was an email, text or phone call away. We had no idea how to set up a wedding the flow or how things should fall into place and Rico was great at assisting us with that. We used Rico Entertainment for Videographer, DJ, Photobooth and Photography. All his staff were very professional and helpful. I did not feel stressed at all. I felt that they had it all covered. Rico was great at hyping up our family and friends and making sure everyone was having a good time. Believe me the DJ and music can make an event and he had it all covered. The uplighting and monogram and dancing on the cloud made the night breathtaking. Rico even helped my children with the music for a dance and music for my father daughter dance with my dad. I can go and on Rico Entertainment was spectacular and I would definitely use them again.
Thank you so much for making our day special day spectacular.
Love Mr. & Mrs. Patterson
Wedding day June 25,2017
At Anthony's Ocean View New Haven CT
I truly wish there was a way to give Rico and his team a 6 star review. My husband and I got married on September 2, 2017 and I can honestly say that Rico blew all of our expectations out of the water. They were incredible! I truly felt like Ri...
co listened to all of our wants and desires for this big day and he made it all happen, PLUS some! I highly recommend you look no further in your search for an incredible DJ, videographer, photographer, entertainment, lighting services.
WOW! Just WOW! Rico Entertainment truly exceeded all of our expectations! My husband and I searched for weeks to find a DJ that would mix music that would cater to both of our cultures (Italian and Dominican). We are so happy we chose Rico Ente...
rtainment. Working with Rico was a very smooth and stress free process. We met with Rico before our day to discuss details and truly felt like all of our requests were met. The day of our wedding, Rico was very professional and his organized manner helped keep our wedding on schedule. The energy in the room was constantly high, as we requested, and that was all because of the music Rico played as well as his MC skills. Rico had everyone on the dance floor the entire night! Many of our guests are still raving about the music and how much fun they had. The staff at our venue even commented on how well he was able to get our guests out of their seats. We love looking back at our wedding video and seeing all of our guests' faces and how much fun they were having.
Rico thank you again! You rocked!
Stefanie & Orlando
I've had the pleasure of knowing Rico on both a personal and professional for the past 8 or 9 years. I say that in the interest of transparency, so please don't let this invalidate my review.
My wife Lindsay and I chose Rico Entertainment for...
our wedding and we couldn't have been happier. He was extremely professional during every meeting leading up to, and including the wedding. He thoroughly explained how the night usually goes in terms of event timing, (i.e. cocktail hour, parents' dances, cake cutting, etc.) while giving us the freedom to tweak things exactly how we wanted them. He provided music suggestions in meetings when we were unsure of which direction to go. He had an easy payment plan available so we didn't have to pay everything up front. And he was available basically anytime we had a question or two for him.
Fast forward to wedding day. Rico and his assistant arrived an hour early for set up and to check in with Linds and I to see if we had any last minute changes or requests. He provided the music for our actual outdoor wedding ceremony and it went off without a hitch. He had already set up his equipment inside so after the ceremony, he was able get right in the venue and get cocktail hour started for our guests. After we finished family/wedding party pictures outside, it was time for introductions which Rico absolutely nailed. The music timing was perfect and our guests appeared to be super into it.
The rest of the night went just as smoothly. Rico did a fantastic job of emceeing and keeping the flow moving so we were able to maximize our dancing/party time which we appreciated. If we could do it all over, we would choose Rico Entertainment again without hesitation. They say for your guests to enjoy your wedding, you truly only need 2 things and they are good food and good music. Rico definitely held up his end of the bargain!
Rico and his staff was beyond my wedding was at arias and they took care of everything they made us feel like royalty and my wife felt so special thanks Rico see you at the club thanks again!
Rico Entertainment was the Entertainment Company for our wedding at Anthony's Ocean View on June 30, 2017. Rico provided DJ, Photography and Photo Booth. They are fantastic, professional and very service oriented. The photographers are spect...
acular. They go beyond their scope of work to assist the bride and groom. Top notch equipment and staff. They had my guests on the dance floor partying until the end of the wedding.
Rico and his team did an AMAZING job at our wedding! Rico was great to work with and very responsive when I emailed with last minute changes to songs etc.
You have to get a photo booth, it’s great with lots of props.
Rico does a great job hy...
ping the crowd up and keeping my friends and family on the dance floor!! The next time we need a DJ we will call Rico to re-book.
Thanks again!!!
RICO Entertainment truly made my wedding day complete. We used this vendor for our DJ and Photography and I wouldn't go back and change my mind one bit! The owner Rico was wonderful and very helpful throughout the my whole planning process, and...
his photography team was amazing!!!! The photographers made sure that all the photos that I wanted to be taken were taken and not even one was missed, the work they did came out beautiful and I cant wait to admire the photos for years to come. Thank you so much to your wonderful team RICO Entertainment!!!
