Amazing DJ and made everyone dance their pants off!

DJ Rick knows how to cook in his kitchen and make beats like no other! He was the best vendor of our wedding! We are so incredibly grateful for him for making our wedding day so memorable and fun. ALL of our guests were raving about him, asking me for his playlists throughout the day and after our wedding! He gave it his all throughout the day, from the ceremony to cocktail hour to of course, the reception until the very end! We greatly appreciated him and all that he does to make our wedding day so easy and involving everyone. It really helped ease my stress and gave me one less thing to worry about. We had full confidence and trusted Rick throughout the process. I would advise couples to just trust him and let him do what he is best known for! We strictly wanted to do just traditional dances and stuff, no gimmicky games. We wanted EVERYONE, from young to older, to participate on the dancefloor, and he delivered, getting everyone involved!
It was also so easy working with him throughout the process, which consisted of emails, phone calls, and texts. He was professional and patient with us, even for any last min changes. There were so many moments on our wedding day that he helped us achieve, including our grand exit where he announced everyone to line up with their glow sticks and make a tunnel for us to exit through. He made it so easy for us and was a GENIUS playing Daft Punk's One More Time and getting everyone to celebrate with us one last time! Thank you Rick! AMAZING!
Lastly, I wanted to thank him for cooking up the best, nostalgic mashup: my father-daughter dance song consisting of 2 Lion King songs I grew up watching with my Dad. I requested him to make a mashup of these important songs in under 2 min and man, he delivered and I cried at least 2x listening to the mashup for the first time. Finally, on our wedding day, when my Dad and I danced to this mashup, everyone, including DJ Rick and the bartenders, teared up. It was an incredible moment and a memory I will forever cherish with my Dad. I will always be grateful for DJ Rick for helping us with something so small, yet so powerful. He cares and takes the time to help you. That's important. And of course, my Dad had a blast vibing with DJ Rick. Everyone did!
Please do yourselves a favor and book the man, the chef! Book the biggest package you can because it will be worth the money. We know we're all on a budget, but the DJ is such an important aspect you want to invest in. DJ Rick knows how to cook!

Excellent DJ

Rick was an absolute standout as our wedding DJ, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative and easy to work with, always responsive and clear in making sure every detail was handled. He brought a level of professionalism and respect that really put us at ease throughout the entire process.

What really set Rick apart was his flexibility. We had a drag show during our reception, and he went above and beyond to support it seamlessly. He coordinated everything perfectly, adapted on the fly when needed, and made sure the performances went off without a hitch. It truly elevated the energy of the night and made that part of our wedding unforgettable.

Overall, Rick delivered exactly what we hoped for and more... great music, smooth execution, and genuine support for our vision. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who’s not only talented, but also reliable and easy to work with.

Highly Recommend!

From the first introductory call, Richard was a pleasure to work with ahead of the wedding and really got to know our styles. He seamlessly blended a couple niche inside-joke songs with crowd favorites, keeping the energy high the entire night. 6 months later and all our friends and family still talk about how it was the best dance floor they've ever experienced!

Superstar dj

We hired Freshtracks for our 2025 wedding in Mammoth and could not have had a better experience with him. From the planning sessions to the execution day of, we were in phenomenal hands!!! When I say he was the LIFE OF THE PARTY at our wedding, I truly mean it!! He knew exactly what each moment of the night needed. From the intros, the speeches, to the opening song on the dance floor, he brought the ENERGY and perfect touches. He had everyone hyped all night. Could not recommend Rick more!!! Our wedding guests could not stop talking about him for weeks. You will not regret having him at your wedding!

Newlyweds awesome experience

FreshTracks DJ Richard was awesome! This had to be the most important decision we had to make for our big day. Richard was super professional and took the time to get to know us. He even had us fill out this awesome questionnaire to help him really understand what we were looking for in our big day. The music was extremely important to us as it can make or break your wedding. He even took the time to study what that music our culture listens to and how to blend it in with modern day tracks. Our guests had an amazing time and I have to say it was thanks to him. He was able to keep the young crowd engaged while the elderly crowd pleased. We never stopped dancing and the night just flowed perfectly. They say you get what you pay for, I think he exceeded our expectations tremendously. Thank you FreshTracks! Can’t wait to find another party to throw and dance night away with you.

June Lake Jam with the Fabulous Fresh Tracks

Wowzers in our collective trousers, a gotdamn TIME was had. Rick was our musical mystic, our shaman of song, our gala guru. The vibes? Immaculate. The music? Transcendent. The man himself? Legendary. From the moment we began corresponding with Rick, every interaction was fun. He was genuine and caring, taking the time to dig into what (insane) musical stylings we wanted at our wedding. He made a music map to help us visualize and understand how he was creating a flow from the ceremony to cocktail hour, from first dance to last call. And my god did the man execute on the vision. There were multiple times throughout the night when we looked up from getting down to see LITERALLY every single one of our guests (octogenarians included) SWEATING on the dance floor. Aunts and uncles boogie-ing to Boosie, grandparents grinding to Gucci Mane, cousins going crazy to Cauthen. It was mayhem in the best way possible, a party of preposterous proportions, all orchestrated by FreshTracks himself.

Rick killed it!

Rick was so awesome at our first wedding. He killed it on the songs and sound effects during the speeches. He really helped make the event shine. Our friends were chanting his name by the end of the night!

Wildest dance party of our lives

Rick was a breeze to work with, making everything during the planning process so easy. The dance floor literally took on a life of its own and could not be stopped. The dance floor was so lit our photographer said he took 13,000 photos - the most he has ever taken in a single night. Our guests almost felt the need to run to the bar to get refills because they didn't want to miss a second of the dancefloor. I even got to go up behind the DJ booth - could not recommend Rick enough.

The BEST DJ in the Sierras!

Richard made our wedding day the absolute best! We could not have done it without him. He started planning with us over a year in advance and kept everything running smooth and stress free. He was so involved in curating the perfect vibe and worked closely with all of our other vendors to help in every way he could. Everything from the ceremony to cocktail hour to speeches and reception went perfectly with his help. His live mixing and ability to read the vibes of our guests kept everyone on the dance floor all night. I can't recommend him enough! He is by far the best DJ you can hire in the Eastern Sierras and I would hire him for any event I do in the future.

Best wedding dj!

I will be honest, at first there was a sticker shock as it goes for shopping for Wedding vendors. Gotta say though... Rick was one vendor who was WORTH IT to spend the extra dollars!! The wedding energy can die so quickly at other weddings if the DJ is not bringing the fun and energy! Rick went above and beyond keeping the music vibes we had previously discussed as well as his cool lighting for the room and pictures! Rick was AMAZING with his song transitions, song selections, and maintaining the fun on the dance floor! HIGHLY recommend, and I truly had so many guests coming to me after the fact commenting on how great our wedding DJ was!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
