RICO is hands down the best DJ you could ever have for your event! He works so well with you through out the whole planning process and truly makes your event the best! All of the music we wanted was played perfectly and he does such a great job reading the room and keeps the party going! I highly reccomend the dance cloud, it is STUNNING. Our guests loved the Photo Booth and we loved our personal monnogram on the wall! Rico hyped the whole room up and everyone danced ALL NIGHT! Our wedding was the best night of our lives and we couldn’t imagine anyone else but RICO! From the ceremony music, to dinner, parent dances, our dance and the party music, everything was so wonderful, I want to relive it everyday! Do yourself a favor and get RICO and his team, you will not regret it!

RICO Entertainment Events was an incredible choice for our wedding entertainment, photographer, videographer and Photo Booth. From the start, Rico was exceptional - he responded to our emails and texts very quickly, which was so helpful during the busy wedding planning process and trust me, I sent a lot of messages. On the day of, their attention to detail and high standards were evident in every aspect of their performance. They made sure to capture our special day in great detail, ensuring we have wonderful memories to look back on. The music they played kept our dance floor packed all night long, and their professionalism shone through in how smoothly everything went. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ company to be part of our wedding celebration. Highly recommend RICO Entertainment Events!

Rico and his team exceeded our expectations! We used them for our wedding and everything was seamless. Communication leading up was flawless, whenever I have a question he responded on a timely manner. The wedding itself was amazing, from the ceremony, to the reception, everything was organized, the dance floor was full all night, played all my music I wanted and I am still getting rave reviews! Rico was amazing and made our wedding even more perfect!

We are SO happy we chose RICO Events for our wedding! Everyone had the best time on the dance floor! We had a multicultural American/Colombian wedding and Rico did a great job playing a mix of music. The whole process of choosing music was seamless with his online form. He was wonderful to work with! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Our wedding day was the best day of our life and DJ Rico played a huge part of it! I recommend anyone looking to have the best time to get his package with the robots. Rico had everyone on the dance floor the whole night and our “hora loca” with the robot team was awesome. My wife and I also got to play the drums which was so much fun. When we were planning our wedding we both collectively thought our DJ would be the most important vendor, and boy are we happy we picked Rico!

We recently had the pleasure of working with DJ Rico for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our choice!
From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of spectacular, he offers a range of unique options from a dry ice smoke cloud for our first dance, to a monogram, montage, and Photo Booth!
We highly recommend DJ Rico for any event. His talent and professionalism, made our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you for creating an incredible atmosphere and making our special day one to remember!!

It was a crazy but super fun night… we experienced a tornado during the beginning of my outdoor event under tents that was effectively transitioned indoors with vendors collaborating to make the day happen for us. All guests helped to make the day special and all had a fantastic night. Ending with Rico’s special guests for my husband, Darth Vader and Storm troopers bringing the party to life in so many ways. It was unprecedented! Memories never to be forgotten! Thank you so much Rico and your crew! Amazing.

Rico was amazing! We are so happy we went with Rico as our DJ for our wedding. We got married on 07/05/24 at Saint Clement's castle. Rico kept everyone on the dance floor the entire time, which was really important to me. So many of our guests said they have never been to a wedding with so many people on the dance floor for that long. He is a terrific MC and kept us on schedule during the reception. I highly recommend him to anyone. We also got the ceremony package which I highly recommend. Rico was so organized, and we loved working with him. I was so stressed the final weeks leading to the wedding and our final meeting with Rico put me at ease. We are so happy Rico, and his team were part of our special day. You cannot go wrong and wont regret going with Rico!

We recently had the pleasure of hiring RICO Entertainment Events for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final dance, Rico demonstrated an incredible ability to understand and incorporate the diverse musical tastes of both our families for our Italian/Ecuadorian wedding. The package we chose included ceremony/cocktail/reception music and photobooth. The dance floor was packed all night long, from the moment the dance flor opened. What truly set RICO apart was his genuine enthusiasm for our vision. The online planning tool provided made our music selections stress-free and easy! Guests loved the photobooth that included printed strips and an online link for viewing! Overall, our RICO Entertainment & Events’ talent and professionalism ensured that our wedding was an unforgettable celebration from start to finish.

We hired Rico as our wedding DJ. He made the entire process straightforward and seamless. He coordinated the audio for our ceremony and of course emceed/DJed for our reception.
We had a multicultural wedding representing Peru, Puerto Rico and of course USA, and he did an amazing job mixing all kinds of music styles, allowing us to proudly represent all parts of our cultures.
Many of our guests commented on what a great job he and his team did! Some even took selfies with him LOL.
Many thanks to Rico and his team, would 100% recommend!!!

Rico was super helpful in our wedding planning. Attentive to the small details we pushed on. A great overall DJ/MC! Everything went flawless. We used photography & Photo Booth through him. I wish we could have communicated with our photographers beforehand, because I feel like we missed candid shots we wanted but failed to mention them on the wedding day due to the high stress and just overall ongoingness of the day. The photo booth was a highlight and everyone loved it! More than anything, our phone guestbook which gave such a special touch to the day.

We had Rico Events for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing! From the start when we originally reached out, to asking us questions to get to know us better, to showing us how to use his portal page that helped us pick our playlist! Rico reached out to us a couple days before our event to help us finalize everything. Rico was so profesional, He played all our songs on our playlist & kept the party going all night long. The photo booth was definitely a crowd pleaser and so fun! THANK YOU Rico for creating a one of a kind party that myself and my husband will remember for the rest of our marriage! BEST DJ EVER!

We had Rico Events for our wedding, and we couldn't have been more pleased with this decision. During the lead up of the planning process, Rico made sure to be available via phone call, text, email, or Zoom whenever we had any questions. He offers an extremely efficient playlist portal that made our song choices very easy to implement, and he made sure to play everything we we put on the playlist. On the day of the wedding, he was very accommodating and professional, he made it a very comfortable experience. Our dance floor was packed from start to finish during the reception, everyone had an amazing time! Would 100% recommend Rico Events for any wedding, work event, or big party you may be hosting!

Rico was amazing from start to finish! He has excellent communication and was responsive to any of our questions. His information portal/website where you input all of your information and wedding logistics makes the night of your wedding run smoothly. If anyone makes any special requests to give speeches or change anything the day of the wedding he was sure to check with us as the bride and groom to make sure we approved.
He has a team of professionals, we used him as a DJ, Photographer, Videographer, and the Mirror Photo Booth kept guests entertained all night. He’s an excellent Emcee who was entertaining but captured our most special moments.
We highly recommend him to anyone who’s planning a wedding and wants professional, perfect, service!

Rico was the first and only DJ that we spoke with before hiring him for our wedding in April 2023. We knew immediately when we got off the zoom that we would hire him! He was incredibly professional and had experience with multicultural weddings which was important for us. Since we had hired Rico the music was the one area that I worried about the least- I knew we were in goods with Rico and that we were. We highly recommend Rico! Thank you Rico!

I got married June 24th 2023 and used Rico as our DJ & rented the magic mirror, I cannot say enough good things about this company! Rico was personable and attentive to my needs and million questions, he answered every question emailed in a timely manor. The portal he uses for music selection is a breeze to use and made picking music way less stressful. Our final meeting we went over everything which eased my mind. The day of wedding Rico did a good job organizing our entrances and working with our venue coordinator. We also rented the magic mirror which the guest loved and raved about so I highly recommend it I also got an online gallery to look at all my guest photos. Overall I highly recommend RICO ENTERTAINMENT for any DJ needs, he will not disappoint

From the very beginning we felt very comfortable with Rico. He communicated well and was extremely organized. On the day of our wedding he was amazing. Words cannot describe how perfect he was not only would he play songs that everyone enjoyed but he would really play songs that people on the dance floor really connected with. He knew we wanted early 2000’s music and that is exactly what he played. We all danced until the night was over and every single song was perfect.

Rico was a pleasure to work with from the beginning all the way to the end. He set up some time with us to walk through what we envisioned for our wedding and even brought up points we hadn't thought of previously. He was also super flexible about making changes later on in the process.
I was nervous about having a multi-cultural wedding and having the music cater to both crowds. Rico quickly put that rest and had the dance party going all night long. I would 100% recommend RICO!

Recommend 1000%. Rico and his team did an amazing job. He payed attention to the guests at our wedding and what music they were enjoying. He even helped us with decision making outside of just music. The Photo Booth was also a HUGE hit. And over all he was great to work with. We had guests coming up to us the following days letting us know they now want to throw an event just to have Rico DJ.

We had an unforgettable wedding night, Rico and his team provided the best DJ experience we’ve ever seen at a wedding and we’re so grateful it was ours. Not only does he have experience at basically every venue in CT, his experience shows with his expertise to flawlessly MC, DJ and keep the dance floor packed at all times. From the moment we reached out, his communication throughout was excellent, he was always quick to respond, provided feedback and he made planning easier using his own website with planners/layouts that were extremely helpful. We can’t recommend Rico enough, we hope to see him at more events in the future!

My husband and I are so happy we made the decision to hire Rico and his team for our wedding! We hired Rico for DJ and Photo Booth services. From beginning to end, Rico was awesome! As soon as my husband and I met him, we pretty much had our minds made up that we would go with Rico Entertainment for our DJ and Phot Booth needs. Everything worked out perfectly! He outdid himself as the DJ. We didn’t even have a song list! We shared with him our demographic and the types of music we enjoyed listening to and his set list was perfect! There were people on the dance floor all night. It was great. The Photo Booth was amazing and the attendant was super nice. The props were perfect and everyone loved it! Overall, couldn’t be happier with our decision. Highly recommend!!
Thank you Rico and team! You guys crushed it ❤️

Rico absolutely enhanced our wedding. He worked with us and made sure he did what he could to make us have the best wedding ever. The Photo Booth was a hit and everyone loved the music! If there’s anything I take away from weddings, it’s food and the DJ and Rico did NOT disappoint. I can’t recommend him enough! If there are ever any other events I’ll be throwing and needing a DJ, he is the only guy on my list. I loved working with him as he is incredibly professional, passionate and skilled at what he does. Thank you to Rico for making our wedding the best experience!

Rico and his team are the absolute best! From the initial consult to all of the final products Rico was just awesome. He is timely, professional and tended to every need. We utilized Rico and his team as our DJ, photographer and videographer. One stop shopping at its best! Rico was likely one of the most critical aspects of our successful wedding. The photos, video, wedding trailer and wedding album way more than we could have imagined. The drone coverage made it way over the top! Our guests were so impressed!

Rico was the DJ for our wedding over Labor Day weekend and it was phenomenal! He was the DJ at a family member’s wedding and came highly recommended. From the day we chatted with Rico via zoom we knew he was the DJ for our special day. Rico was easy to work with, incredible responsive and very professional.
He provided ceremony music, music at cocktail hour and a special private dance before the reception. He let us customize the type of music we wanted played all night long and many guests mentioned how great his music selection was. Rico did a great job announcing the bridal party and setting up for toasts. One thing we really loved was his wireless set up during the ceremony, both the officiant and the groom had wireless microphones which was great. If you’re looking for top-notch entertainment you definitely want to book Rico!!

Rico did a great job incorporating our ‘must play’ list and our vision of the reception with some additional tracks that kept the energy going with the right vibes all night. Rico was very attentive and responsive to our requests during the wedding. When we had some updates to one of the songs for the grand entrance he found the time to cut mix and play it exactly how we wanted. Idk where he found the time but he was BRILLIANT and our big reveal went on without a hitch, just like we envisioned it. As Hispanic Americans with some family and friends who only speak Spanish and others who only speak English, Rico really made both groups feel welcomed and entertained.
He spoke well over the music and didn’t interrupt too often like some DJs do. He only spoke when necessary to keep the energy going and the micro events organized.
He was responsive during the planning stages and his software was user friendly and kept us on track. The Magic Mirror was also a huge hit! Can’t wait to see all the photobooth pics our guests took on the website. Rico also referred our officiant to us. Thank you Rico! Having moved to CT from NYC, we didn’t think we could find a DJ like you here. You exceeded our expectations.

I can’t even begin to explain how great Rico and his team are. We immediately picked Rico in our heads (about 5 minutes into our Zoom call) because of his personality - he loves his job and it shows! His portal made it so easy to plan out the most important wedding details, even ones I didn’t think of, and you can scroll through song categories for every important moment during your wedding. Rico went above and beyond for me, adding on things at the end like a TV and video montage for my Mom, and he made everything perfect. We also added the dancing on a cloud, magic mirror, and SNOW! During the wedding, Rico literally nailed everything. Everything he did was flawless. I cannot recommend him enough - he was seriously the best part of our wedding!

RICO Entertainment Events made it so easy for us to focus on other things and not worry too much on our song choices or entertainment. He had it all covered! By providing an application online we were able to make our order of events and song selections at our own paste. His responsiveness to our emails and phone calls were almost immediate! We knew we had his full engagement for our event. He made sure that the event was planned our way without missing the important details of our special day, details that we might not have thought off or had forgotten. This was huge for us. And throughout our day, even though we had confirmed our order of events prior the day off, RICO was always doing quick check ins to make sure everything was going as expected and adjust if there was any changes. After giving him the instructions he took his leadership skills and took care of the rest engaging my bridal party and guests. Hands down a very professional and well experienced entertainment vendor!!!

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 last 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 minute 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!

Rico and his team made the music and photo booth portion of our wedding 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.

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 losing 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 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!
Respectfully,
The Brito’s Family

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 approval” 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.

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 entertainment 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, his 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 example 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!
