They made the planning so easy and stress free, which was very important at such a busy time. On top of that, the DJ was perfect at the wedding, not only because of the music he played and the way he made the event flow perfectly, but also because of his fun and upbeat attitude, which really kept everyone excited to be there. it was absolutely perfect!

Rick was an absolute pleasure to work with as our wedding reception DJ. For our reception, we had a fairly specific idea of what type of music we wanted at certain stages of the evening, and Rick came through with all of our suggestions. A significant portion of our song requests were from somewhat obscure artists, but Rick went the extra mile and found all the tracks without complaint. He was a total pro.

Further, Rick accommodated all of our preferences regarding how "hands-on" he would be during the reception. Rick was more than willing to take an active role (and judging by our conversations he would have been a hoot), but we preferred a DJ who would just play music and MC the intros, toasts, and a few other reception events. I've been to several weddings where the DJ thinks he is the center of attention--Rick is not that type of guy. He took requests, honored our preferences, and made sure that none of the tracks on our "do not play list" hit the speakers.

Between our planning with Rick prior to the wedding, and his performance at the reception, Rick made everything easy. A poor DJ can ruin a wedding. Fortunately for us, Rick was an excellent choice. Whether you want a DJ to entertain your group, or just a DJ to work with you to come up with a solid playlist and then let the music do the entertaining, you would be hard pressed to find a better DJ than Rick Haggard.

The perfect DJ ! He was prompt and kept us on our toes. Appropriate when we needed a bit laid back for dinner, led the way through all the usual wedding events ie cake, bouquet toss etc. I was really impressed and the price was very reasonable. Many guests commented on the music selection . I loved being able to personalize the whole thing. Awesome!

We had a long list of songs we hoped to have included during the reception and Rick incorporated as many as could fit as well as making sure he played others to get everyone up and dancing. He also helped us augment live music for the ceremony.

Fees are reasonable and competitive. He brings a length of experience and broad knowledge of music across tastes and over time that is exceptional which make shaping it to your particular needs easy. Highly recommend him.

Rick Haggard is awesome! We were so lucky to get him. Everyone had a blast and the music was perfect for our group! He is highly responsive and very supportive - especially for a bridezilla like me! :)

Rick was great!!! He came highly recommended by other DJ's when we were looking for a DJ to play at our wedding in October! He was really great and we didn't have to worry about anything he is a total pro!! We couldn't have been happier with his services and his price is totally reasonable!! We wanted something different than most wedding receptions. We didn't want any of the regular reception type of thing -- just party. And Rick was great when we wanted our guest to pick out the reception music. Each guest picked 3 songs to have played at our reception. Rick had no problem with this. We gave him a list and decided the mix and when to play the song, and filled in dance songs where we needed them! It was great!! Our guest loved hearing the songs they picked during the evening! All the guest danced the night away and thought Rick was wonderful!! He was a hit and made our party one too! And he took request from some of our guest! Rick is professional, accomadating and he wants you to have what you want and how you want it!! I would recommend him to anyone!! Thanks Rick for a evening we will never forget!

DJ Rick added such memorable touches to our wedding reception - we received numerous compliments on the wonderful musical selections, from the cocktail hour, to the dinner, to the dancing! He made the bridal party entrance super entertaining, and the couples' anniversary dance was a special touch as well!! All of the planning was handled smoothly and professionally, and Rick really went out of the way to make sure our special day was exactly what we wanted - for both the Virginians, and the Texans ;) Thanks for everything Rick, you did an amazing job, and we have such wonderful memories of our special day, much in part to your musical and entertainment talents. :)

Rick completely exceeded all our (and our guests) expectations! He was amazing. We stated off with our love story and first dance, which was great. He did such an amazing job on the love story, I got sooooo many compliments, and our guests appreciated us sharing with them how we got together. Just make sure you have somone to move the chairs after the story before you start dancing - my new husband had to do it and it sorta threw the timing off on our first dance, but that was not really Ricks fault. He kept the evening running very smooth and really went with the flow. He was also very personable, not dry like a lot of current DJs, Rick has a great personality and it shows when he is hosting. Kudos!

His own quotes are "Cool, class, elegance and, above all, FUN! " This is an accurate deion! He is fun to work and loves music just as much as we did. He took everything we wanted and melded it together into something with class and elegance for the elderly guests and something fun for the younger crowd.
My maid of honor and her brother said that it felt like he knew us for a long time when he was introducing us and when he did the Love Story-which I would recommend doing. Many of my guests said he did such a good job and was very funny.
He also definitely stuck to our list of music and changed it up based on the crowd. He also consulted with us which I appreciated when it became evident that we might run out of time with some of our events.
I would definitely recommend him for any event.

DJ Rick was one of our best vendor choices for our recent wedding reception at Prince Michel Vineyard in Culpeper, VA. He is a very personable man and treated us as individuals, not just customers. Rick orchestrated an amazing party at our wedding reception this past August. Not only did he go above and beyond to accomodate our requests, he had our crowd dancing for hours. We had a 4 hour dance party... just what we wanted! People young and old all felt moved to the dance floor and it was magical. We chose a DJ and we got a friend who gave it his all at our wedding reception. Rick, thank you sincerely for putting your heart into what you do!

Sam Ranson and Rick Haggard of Rick Haggard Entertainment provided exemplary service from our first planning conversations to truly professional execution on the day of our wedding. Sam provided the equipment and ran the soundboard for our ceremony and maintained levels perfectly for both our live musicians and speakers. Sam really went the extra mile during the reception and frequently ran around to check with us to make sure everything from the intros to song selection ran smoothly. We wound up with a little bit less dancing time than we expected and Sam made just the right choices to keep the party uptempo and lively. I would definitely recommend Rick Haggard Entertainment and Sam Ranson to anyone looking for a truly professional and unobtrusive DJ experience.

Rick was amazing he worked with us on everything we wanted. we told him our vision and he made it come to life better then it ever looked in out heads. he kept us dancing all night with songs that he knew our guests would like as well as what we had requested! we are so pleased to have had him there on our day and would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that is fun open and listens to your ideas for what you want and your visions~

Rick was a wonderful DJ. When we wanted something specific, he would let us get as detailed as we wanted, and when we wanted him to take over something, he'd do it and do it masterfully. He was a great MC, as well as a great DJ, alerting the crowd to important events, and getting the crowd into the more complicated elements of our wedding. He also read the crowd perfectly, always seeming to play the right music at the right time. We used him for both the ceremony and the reception, and he was masterful at both. Also, as we were preparing for the wedding, I drove the car into a ditch, and he helped us get the car out. Rick, who's prices are extremely reasonable, is worth every penny and more.

We're so glad we chose Rick as our wedding DJ! He did a great job at our wedding...his upbeat attitude and excellent music selections helped to keep us and the guests in a high-energy mood all night long, just like we wanted. We also appreciated Rick working with us for special requests such as unique dinner songs and editing two songs into one for our father/daughter dance. I would definitely recommend Rick's DJ services!

Rick had the perfect personality for my guests. He made the night by watching the actions of my guests and then beginning our next activity. My guests enjoyed his services as well as my family, including my in-laws. He was here to help me and Nick to make sure that our day was the best that it could be and it was! Thank You Rick for EVERYTHING you did! Everyone should have you as their DJ at their wedding!

Rick was awesome! Since I don't live in the area I wasn't sure how difficult planning would be but his knowledge and experience made it very easy! His website was also great for choosing songs and knowing what I would need to make decisions about. He kept us moving through the reception events like cake cutting, speeches, etc, in a way that we didn't have to worry about anything. We had a great time and so did our guests!
