Endorsements
"I have only had the pleasure of working with Bass is Loaded one time, but hope to be able to work with him again. He was professional and fun without being cheesy. I have and will continue to recommend him to brides I work with. "
"There is not enough space on this website to fit all of the positive things I'd like to say about Rick and his company Bass is Loaded. I love the concept of his company name because it really means two things. One, Rick has an amazing sound system with huge bass bins, so all the events he does are loaded with bass! But most importantly it means that no matter which service package you choose all of your bases are covered by Rick. His equipment is state of the art, and he has back ups for his back ups! He is genuine, friendly & his level of professionalism is exceptional! He puts his clients at ease and works closely with them to build a fun and dynamic agenda. He absolutely loves what he does, it really shows! So take him seriously when he says "From this point forward, change the way you think about how a Wedding DJ company looks, sounds, and leaves you feeling. Your special day deserves to be like no other." "
"Are you looking for an incredible Entertainer and Disc Jockey? Then look no further! Rick has established himself as a leader in our industry. He is constantly working to create new and unique ideas that well help make your Wedding or Event UNIQUE! He is an Emcee, Director and Disc Jockey and will give your event great Pacing and Style. Rick uses equipment that is 2nd to none and he always brings his very best. Rick networks with other talented Professionals which keeps him ahead of the latest trends. He takes the time to get to know you personally. Rick will help you create an unforgettable evening that will have your guests saying "That was the Best DJ Ever!" Give Rick a call, but don't wait too long because demand for this talented Entertainer has him booking Weddings and Events up to 1 year in advance."
"We've seen a lot of DJ 'set-ups' - but none quite like Rick's at Bass is Loaded. Wow. He does a great job of keeping the flow of the reception, without 'taking over the show.' We highly recommend Rick and Bass is Loaded!"
"I've never met a more professional DJ. More importantly, I've never met a better DJ! Rick is a great guy that puts his knowledge and energy into his events. He knows his music, and tailors what you want perfectly. I have found that so many couples are happy when using him, he is the only DJ I recommend. There are many others out there, but Rick can turn the party out! "

Our wedding was an absolute success! My husband and I could not have been more pleased with Rick from Bass is Loaded! Rick walked us through every step of the process concerning his services and helped us to make our reception a fabulous party and definitely a night to remember. Rick is so easy to work with and has an amazing library of music. Our last meeting with him before the wedding was fun and stress-free as we laughed and talked about all the aspects of our reception. I would hire Rick again in a heartbeat. To all future brides to be, Rick with Bass is Loaded! is the way to go.

The service we got from Rick was more then we could have asked for. Rick was quick to respond to any and all e-mails I sent, I even sent him an e-mail with a random question on Christams Eve and got an answer back within 2 hours. He was able to pick up on who we were really quick and was great with his suggestions. We wanted to have a fun classy wedding and I don't think we would have got that if we would have went with a different DJ. Our guests LOVED him and we got so many compliments on how great he did. We heard over and over again about how fun and professional he was. He was well worth the money and we wouldn't change a thing about the service he provided! Hands down the best out there.

Excellent wedding vendor. Highly recommended! We had a hard wedding because it was a small guest list with mostly family and few close friends. We were concerned that it could be hard to find a way to please everyone because of the diverse ages and lack of people that would be dancing. Rick handled everything perfectly and we had no reason to worry!

Rick did a wonderful job working with us on our wedding . He helped us lay an outline of how the day was going to go since we didn't have a wedding planner. He has an extensive collection of music, and had lots of good ideas about different songs we might like to use during our reception and was very flexible about changing last minute details. Rick was very nice and easy to work with he spent a lot of time with us making sure everything came together.
Our wedding and reception was absolutely wonderful. Many of our guests made comments on how much they liked the DJ, the music was great, and Rick was able to think on his feet well and flawlessly adapt to the on going changes in the plans throughout the evening.
We enjoyed working with Rick very much. My husband and I had the best day of our lives that day and to us it was a perfect wedding. We thank Bass Is Loaded (Rick) for helping us have an experience to remember.
We would gladly hire Bass Is Loaded for any other special event in the future.

Thanks Rick!

Rick was everything we expected and more. He has any and all the equipment that is needed for any wedding. He had all the music that we asked for and more, there was one song that he didn't have but he bought it . If you want someone that acutually cares about perfection and making sure your special day turns out just the way you want it, Rick is the guy for you. He definetly went the extra mile for us. Thanks again Rick.

Rick from Bass is Loaded was simply awesome. He really made everything work out great and did everything we wanted and more. He met with us multiple times ahead of time to make sure everything was just right and put up with mine and my families many many emails, and responded to every one! Very professional, really knows what he is doing. Rick created a unique song for us that incorporated the vows we had just spoken a few minutes after we spoke them, truly memorable. Everything looked and sounded great, could not have asked for more. The only problem we had was that it rained! However, Rick handled it and set up a back up plan with out a hitch. Would use him again for anything in a heartbeat!

My husband and I were blown away by "Bass is Loaded" and Rick's talent at our August wedding. Our wedding was inside/outside and "Bass is Loaded" was able to accomodate for this. He worked one on one with us in hand choosing songs, timing the entrances, keeping guests entertained, and provided the quality of music above what we hoped for. "Bass is Loaded" provided us with all of the extras without all of the extra costs. It was a package deal with no hidden fees or add ons. I was impressed with Rick's attitude, flexibility, and overall professionalism. He was easy to work with and kept us clam throughout the entire evening. We would book them again for another event!

We couldn't have asked for a better job than what Bass is Loaded! did. Everything Rick was involved in was pure excellence. My wife and I loved the fact that he met us a couple of times to pick songs and coordinate the evening. There's so much that goes into planning a wedding and reception, it's nice to deal with such a professional. Upon getting to the reception and seeing everything set up we knew it was going to be the best party. It's been almost a month since the party and people are still coming up to us and saying how much they enjoyed the party and especially the music. Everyone loved the broad range of music Rick played. Every couple, young and old said that was the most they had danced in years, and I had the sore feet the next day to prove it. Keep playing that funky music white boy!

Rick Whitehead/Bass Is Loaded provided the music that created the wedding of our dreams! We had been researching whether to hire a live band or a DJ, our photographer Richard Roman suggested we call Rick--we're so glad we did! Rick had several meetings with us/photographer/wedding planner at our venues, and it was hugely important to me that the DJ at our wedding would be who we'd been meeting with. Rick understood the atmosphere we wished to create, supported our outrageous and non-traditional requests, and offered fantastic suggestions...playing "Hot for Teacher" when the groom is a teacher? We (and our guests) loved it!!! Rick created a special version of the groom's processional song and found a clear recording of an obscure 1940s love song--fantastic! He worked so hard to be in three places at once: our ceremony, reception and dancing venues were all different, but Rick never complained that three set-ups was too challenging, he just "made it work", beautifully. Rick made periodic announcements during dinner and mingling to let guests know what was coming up, what the favors were, what other activities were available, etc. The Synergy presentation that Bass Is Loaded and Richard Roman Photography created brought tears to my eyes--it was amazing to see photos from our ceremony just a couple of hours later, and hear the vows that Rick recorded for us...we still don't know how they did it, but our guests were blown away. As for value, I tried to keep in mind that our vendors were dedicating their time to giving us the best experience possible. Rick met with us several times and responded to our e-mails within 24 hours, created a song (how long would that take me to do? forever, because I don't have the tools), attended our rehearsal, came early to the ceremony to play while guests were seated, and closed out the reception--most professional service providers I know charge $50 to $100/hour, so the cost was reasonable. The true value in using Bass Is Loaded is the peace of mind that bride/groom have that their guests will have a once-in-a-lifetime experience at their wedding! Bass Is Loaded has our highest recommendation if you are looking for a professional, responsive and creative DJ and MC--with Rick's involvement, our wedding was ya-hoo! and not ho-hum.

even though rick was located more than 50 miles away he was always willing to meet with us whenever we felt we needed to talk to him. the selection of music was outstanding. I have been to alot of weddings where the dj ends up making the wedding revolve around them which we did not want but also didnt want someone just standing there playing music. rick was the perfect balance of being involved and and still making our day not his. i would highly recommend rick with bass is loaded you will not be dissappointed! thanks rick

Rick from Bass is Loaded was absolutely fabulous! On top of being an excellent sound guy for the ceremony and cuing all of the music flawlessly, he also kept the ceremony and reception flowing seamlessly. He always gave us a heads up about what should be coming next and announced all of the different events (first dance, cake cutting, bouquet toss) perfectly and with class. There was absolutely no "Emcee" or "Cheesy DJ" feel at all! He was 100% professional and fit right in with the vibe and feel of the whole wedding and reception. When we discovered that someone complained about a noise violation (not Rick's fault!) He quickly reset up the whole dance floor and moved with party inside seamlessly. He even poked fun at the old man who was complaining to make light of the whole situation and keep the party going. He also did an excellent job of adapting to the direction of the reception and kept the music going.

Rick also made a personalized copy of a remixed song with sections of the ceremony recorded over it. It was absolutely wonderful and everyone at the reception loved it.

I would highly recommend Rick and Bass is Loaded to anyone having a wedding in Oregon. It isn't often you can find a DJ who is both light hearted and professional!

Bass is Loaded is one of the best vendors that I have ever worked with - by far!! We chose Rick to help us with my parents anniversary party and I am now a loyal fan and wouldn't consider using anyone else for future parties. He was so helpful and professional in every possible way. From the initial call to the follow-up after the event, Rick is so client-focused and will do anything to make sure your event is absolutely perfect. He is very personable and all of the guests loved him. All of his equipment is top-notch, as well!

Rick came all the way up to Vancouver, WA area for the party - even though he is based in Eugene, OR. He arrived very early and would have stayed all night,if asked! Regardless of where the party is, he makes it work. Even if you are out-of-state, I would still ABSOLUTELY recommend going with Bass is Loaded. He is so organized, it is seamless to you.

The best decision we made was to go with Bass is Loaded. Whether its for a wedding reception, great party, or even a corporate event, Rick is so flexible he would make your event exactly what you want. Bass is Loaded is the way to go (especially the unlimited package!!). Thanks again Rick! You're the best!
