Rick was the best. He was always available to answer our questions, and met with us several times even though were were several hours away! His personal attention to detail and genuine interest in making our day run smoothly put our minds to ease.
And, he is innovative and very very tech savvy. He was able to project our live Trio/String outside wirelessy!! He even had a cool speaker outside that swiveled (one direction for the ceremony, and the other direction for the cocktail area). He also put together a slideshow (with soundtrack) that we played for everyone at dinner. His editing was great, and it was one of the highlights.
For our reception, Rick even played the same music videos as the songs that were playing on his 46" plasma TVs. How cool is that??
Finally, the music was great. We had a wide variety of different people with different tastes and different favorite genres (husband fifteen years older than wife; different ethnic backgrounds; kids, parents, and grandparents; the works). Somehow, Rick pleased everyone and the dance floor was going the whole night. By the time we reached the finale ("Sweet Caroline"), it was mayhem and it was awesome.

I must say that Rick at Bass is Loaded made our wedding a fun, enjoyable, and memorable experience for everyone.
We were not blessed with nice weather that day, it was rainy and very cold. Rick kept the guests entertained and even though it was cold, they stuck around and enjoyed every minute of it.
Many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the music he played and how professional he was. They also loved the synergy media slideshow that Rick and Richard Roman Photography (also very highly recommended,) put together by the end of our reception. I have no idea how they found the time to do this, but it was absolutely wonderful!
We could not have asked for a better DJ, for better music, or for a better experience. He also did many things for us prior to the wedding to make our day even more special. Rick at Bass is Loaded is definitely worth every penny!

Absolutely worth the price!
In a word Rick is amazing! He integrated all of our favorite music into the ceremony and reception and worked tirelessly before the wedding to find instrumental or wedding acceptable versions of all of our favorite artists and songs (even the obscure ones). Rick was always on time, professional,and had top of the line equipment. He offered great advice on how to get the reception we wanted, but was very flexible and willing to do whatever needed in order to get the wedding of our dreams. Rick will really take the time to get to know you before your event, which combined with his experience will keep your guests on the dance floor all night.
Rick also does an amazing Synergy presentation with photographer Richard Roman (also highly recommended) if you book them together. Near the end of the reception your guests will be able to see some of your wedding photos, and Rick will set the slide show to music and recordings from the ceremony. He also pulled my husband and I aside before the wedding and allowed us to record little clips on things like how we met, and when I knew he was the one which he blended into the ceremony- which was an amazing touch. My guest are still talking about the presentation!
Bottom line: an absolute dream to work with- goes the extra mile and takes the stress off the bride and groom. I could not recommend Rick more highly to any bride and groom- you will not be disappointed!

Rick was great! By far the best DJ, MC I have ever seen at a wedding. He made our wedding so much fun and added that special touch that was very personable for everyone. I would highly recommend Rick with Bass Is Loaded to anyone for any event!

We loved Rick! Even more important to us, our guests loved him as well. They continue to comment on how awesome our DJ was at our wedding.
From the day we met him, Rick was always attentive, incredibly responsive, helpful, and worked with us on every request. He had great ideas for those indecisive moments (we had quite a few) and was always patient. You always feel like first priority when you meet with him.
During our wedding weekend, Rick was able to attend the rehersal, where he played our ceremony music and helped guide our officiant and wedding party to the music cues. I wasn't expecting this, so I thought it was great for him to participate.
Our wedding was also fabulous. Rick moved everything along, the ceremony, the grand entrance into our reception, the game we played, first dance, cake cutting, etc. It's so easy to lose track of time during your wedding, so it was great that he was on the ball during the event. I didn't have to worry about the schedule at all.
This is a guy who truly loves his job and takes every bit seriously (while being relaxed and entertaining). So, thanks Rick for everything, we are 1000% satisfied.

Working with Rick was a wonderful experience for us. There was nothing about the wedding or ceremony that was particularly important to my husband, except for the music. He has incredible music tastes and knew exactly what he wanted, as well as what he didn't want. And he is now convinced that Rick walks on water. :)
Every step of the way, Rick was amazing to work with - always friendly, helpful, accommodating, and fun. We knew that the DJ was someone that would set the tone for the party and we had very specific ideas about what we wanted. Rick remembered little things we mentioned along the way and incorporated them - long after Mark and I had forgotten them.
Our wedding reception was absolutely perfect - and we had people on the dance floor ranging in age from 2 to 80 - and a fairly large population of 13-year olds. Rick was masterful at making sure the music worked for everyone, all the while managing my husband's "do not play" list - which could have often been at odds with the requests of the teenagers. :)
He went above and beyond every step of the way. We think the world of Rick and the job that he did for us and can't imagine anyone out there who would do a better job - at any event.

Rick is an amazing man and all I can do is praise the work that he did and how wonderful he made our wedding. He's a such a professional at what he does. He met with us when ever we could find a time to meet and answered my emails quicker than anyone else I've worked with for our wedding. The day of our wedding went as smoothly as possibly with him at the brains of the music and announcing everything. He even through in a bit of us that we didn't expect to be in the wedding *cough*Piratesofthecaribbean*cough* If you tell him that if he feels the wedding needs a little nudge and to do what he thinks would be acceptable he will do it and it'll add his special touch to your very special day. He know's what he's doing so even if you don't really know what you want or what you need as long as you have a vauge idea he'll show you the right path and you can either choose to walk down it or dance. Thanks Rick you're Wonderful!

Rick was fabulous from the time he met with us. He was very understanding and went with the flow of what we wanted. He seemed to fit in with the night like he was part of the family. When you hire Rick, you get Rick! You don't get some dude that sits in the corner and plays random tunes, you get what ever you ask for. If you want him to bubbly and fun, thats what you get. He is very professional and personable. I would not have wanted any other DJ to be there on our special day!
Thanks Rick!

Rick was great to work with. We were planning a wedding out of state and he was very organized, willing to meet in person when we were in town and otherwise easy to get a hold of on the phone or e-mail. My favorite part is that he does everything himself and so we were not worried about things being missed or some random person showing up for the event. Highly recommended!

This is one great DJ! I was a little nervous about planning the "activities" during our reception, and Rick helped us plan everything out, We had a sweet grand entrance! I used to do a lot of mobile DJ'ing and live sound gigs, and i was very impressed with the quality of equipment and the skills that our DJ had. You know a good sound system when you go to use the restroom, and the toilet seats are rattling! He put on a great light show too.
But hands down, we had a blast! I have heard nothing but positive comments about out wedding party.
Just remember, if you want a kickin party, hire a good DJ.
Worth EVERY penny!!

We were extremely happy with Bass is Loaded. Rick was a great help and the music selection was amazing. I heard so many individuals comment about how great the play list was. I really appreciated Rick's flexibility and the way in which he kept the reception flowing. We have a 3 month old son, and there were times when we would have to disappear to change or feed him. Rick always checked with us, letting us know when our dances would be, and providing a structure that we greatly needed. We were very happy with his professionalism and how he took charge so we didn't have to worry about it. We were also unsure of how we should organize things, and asked Rick to provide some advice. He did a great job with everything and we would recommend him for anyone's reception.
Rick asked us how we would describe what we wanted a week before. We said "fun" and "casual." We didn't give him much to work with, but he hit the nail on the head. The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted and everyone had a great time. The physical "set-up" at the reception also posed some challenges, but Rick handled them flawlessly. We were very happy with his service!

My wife and I had a destination wedding (Maui) and then had a reception back home 2 weeks later after the honeymoon. Given that our guests weren't going to be with us at our wedding, it was very important to us to have a spectacular reception. To us, having the right DJ was equally important to great food and table service. The right DJ will absolutely make or break your event, as they control the timeline and flow of the entire event.
Rick exceeded our expectations on every level. We were absolutely blow away with what a success our reception was. It was everything we had hoped it would be, and more. Much more actually.
Rick took the time to get to know us, learn our personalities, our likes and dislikes, and to learn as much as possible about the type of event we wanted. He is very, VERY good at what he does.
We paid the extra dough for his upgraded light and video setup and it was worth every penny. It completely transformed the event. Guests felt very engaged to what was going on and loved every minute. Everything, from start to finish, went off without a hitch. It was absolutely perfect.
I would not hesitate to recommend Rick for any event needing a DJ. He does exceptional work and it a true professional at what he does. He makes significant investments in his equipment (top of the line) which directly reflects on your party.
Don't take any chances in hiring a DJ for your event.
Call Rick and book him early.

Rick was an amazing ally in our wedding planning. He was very supportive and encouraged our very non-traditional wedding music. Rick helped us choose some great music for our ceremony and slowed down a song for us to better fit the mood. His incorporation of our vows into our first dance song was great! It surprised and wowed our guests!!!
I would hire him again in a second and highly recommend him to other couples. We really appreciated his willingness to meet in between the hire date and the wedding date. Numerous emails and a few phone calls also helped allay any worries we had...
We felt comfortable with Rick and felt like he really was part of the wedding rather than an observer whom was leading our reception. He chose great music for our reception and didn't think it odd we didn't want light jazz playing before we did our grand entrance.
We had only one complaint... Not enough 70s music was played. Meet with Rick! Talk with him and tell him what you want instead of having someone tell you how it should be done! Hopefully you will see all that we did!

Of the four DJ's we contacted Rick was the only one to follow up every step of the way. He was not the cheapest, but after our first meeting I decided that was not an issue, and am I glad I did. Every guest we have talked to has commented on how GREAT the music was. Rick made our wedding a dream come true. I would recommend Bass is Loaded for any event. Absolutely the Best!
