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!

FreshTracks, Fresh Vibes, Great Times

FreshTracks on a bluebird powder day does not even come close to how incredible of a day FreshTracks Entertainment will make your wedding. With hands down the best name for a mountain-town DJ, Rick backs up his name by laying down an impeccably handcrafted setlist for the wedding.

His passion shone through in every email and conversation we had with him. With our wide-ranging tastes in music and interesting song requests that we wanted to squeeze into the evening, we were not sure how our spectrum of favorite genres would blend. That worry faded away instantly as Rick seamlessly delivered what many guests described as the most epic setlist they’ve ever experienced at a wedding. Setting just the atmosphere we wanted at each phase of our wedding, while creating some of the most nuanced and fantastic transitions for the dancefloor, Rick kept the party going until the very end.

Working with Rick was effortless and a blast. He was constantly looking for ways to make our day great, and a highlight was debuting his newest feature, an epic disco ball! With everything needed to plan for a wedding, planning your playlist might seem easy and fun, but it can get surprisingly overwhelming. Not with Rick and his music mapping journey. Rick helped us break it down, perfectly capturing the vibe of our relationship, while honoring the individuality of both my wife’s and my eclectic tastes. Rick is very professional, but always brings that upbeat energy you want from your wedding entertainer. You can’t go wrong selecting FreshTracks Entertainment for your wedding, but you CAN go wrong if you don’t.
