We had the "Time of our Lives" with Rick

I had the absolute pleasure of having Rick Pruett DJ at our wedding, and I can't speak highly enough of his talent and professionalism. Not only did he possess an incredible knack for reading the room and keeping the energy flowing, but his timing was spot on, ensuring every moment just right. Rick was incredibly flexible and so easy to work with. His talent extends beyond just music; his uplighting transformed the venue, adding to the ambiance. Some of our guests described it as a "storybook." Rick was there for the rehearsal and ensured everything ran smoothly on the big day. Ten years ago, Rick made our Dirty Dancing weekend at Mountain Lake Lodge unforgettable, and it was a no-brainer to have him DJ our wedding. We are grateful for Rick making our special day truly memorable.

Rick is the best!

My wife and I got married in August at Mtn Lake Lodge and it was perfect. One of the highlights was working with Rick Pruett. He was so kind, communicative, and professional. I'd recommend Rick to anyone. He really brought it to the ceremony and the reception and made our wedding a great time for everyone! If you're looking for someone who's affordable, communicative, and easy to work with, look no further. Thanks again Rick!

The perfect match

DJ Rick Pruett was a pleasure. Responsive in the planning stages; and accommodating with all of our needs and requests. During the event it was a perfect mix, and once the dancing began, the floor was never empty until the event was over. He did an amazing job keeping our guests entertained and engaged. Highly recommended.

Rick is an awesome DJ! He kept our party going until the very last minute, was extremely accommodating with requests, and picked the perfect music for our ceremony! We were very laid back, and did not have many details regarding song choices. We left it in his hands, and he came through. I would HIGHLY recommend Rick for any DJing needs!!

Rick was great and easy going to work with! He helped us select music that fit our style for the wedding ceremony and reception. He has been DJing for almost 20 years. He was great at reading the room and knowing when to play slow vs. contemporary vs. oldies. He also provided lighting and microphones!

Rick and his team were very easy to work with. Rick did an excellent job communicating and was responsive. I felt like the cost for his services were reasonable as well.

At the wedding reception, Josh had the dance floor packed and took requests from guests while also playing songs on our "must play" list. He did a good job of filtering inappropriate requests. He was also very friendly and personable.

Rick was totally awesome. Of all my vendors, he was by far the easiest to deal with. He knew exactly what he was doing, and was incredibly helpful. He blended into the background at the reception, as opposed to a lot of DJ's who like to be the center of attention. The music was perfect and very appropriate. I'm a tough audience, and I have only good things to say about him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
