    Richie Hart was a great DJ. to use!!!

    This is our second time using Richie Hart. He really listened to what we wanted and made some suggestions. I needed to change the time on that day and it wasn’t a problem, Richie is so easy to work with. We decided to add a percussionist and a sax player and they only added to the great experience. Everyone was so professional but yet fun.

    What a great experience!

    Richie Hart and his staff were wonderful! Richie is warm and friendly and very attentive (and genuine!) We were so lucky to find them. The MC at our wedding with Chris "CoCo"; he was exceptional! More than willing to work with us on our music choices, to help make our wedding everything we imagined! DJ Kool held it down! A complete honor to work with everyone there! We have received nothing but positive feedback from our guests!

    The BEST entertainment company to hire!

    We chose a DJ, MC, a flutist and violinist ( for our ceremony) along with a saxophonist and a percussionist for the reception. Richie and Jill could not have been any nicer in helping to organize our wedding day. They were an incredible team to work with. We wanted much of a Disco/ Motown feel because that’s the music we love! Till this day, a month later people are talking about how incredible the music was. We gave the DJ most of our choices for music and he filtered in the rest. Geronimo was our MC and he was phenomenal. Everyone loved him. The whole team made our night full of energy. They were just incredible. I would highly recommend them for your next party.

    Outstanding!

    Rich and his team are true professionals and easy to work with. Eddie was outstanding! He read the room perfectly and always dropped the right track at the perfect moment. The team at Richard hart entertainment surpassed our and our guests expectation and truly made it a day to remember.

    Incredible experience with Richie Hart & team!

    I got married at the Garden City Hotel last year. I hired Richie's wife, Debbie, to be my wedding planner/day-of coordinator, as she came highly recommended by the venue. I then chose to hire Richie Hart Events for my music as he was highly regarded and known as a reputable vendor. (It is worth noting that Debbie did *not* make me feel pressured at all to hire Richie. She was incredibly supportive of any choice I made). I couldn't be happier with my experience with both Debbie and Richie. My wedding was the most perfect night of my life. Richie provided us with a lovely violinist and keyboardist for the ceremony and the most wonderful DJ/band hybrid and MC for the evening that kept the party going all night long. I am still getting compliments on my wedding music over a year later! Richie was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout the wedding planning process and recommended wonderful music choices for both my ceremony and reception. Richie was so kind and flexible during the planning process. He provided me with many options to enhance my wedding reception but never made me feel pressured into adding anything I didn't need. I whole-heartedly recommend Richie Hart Events (and Debbie Hart!) to anyone planning an event. If I could have my wedding all over again, I would choose them again and again.

    My Guests are still raving about the entertainment

    I have known Richie for many years ❤ I have worked for him as a dancer for events and knew how amazing he and his team are. Needless to say, his team made our wedding the PARTY that we wanted. We did a DJ hybrid with a MC, Saxophone, and Percussionist. They were AMAZING. My guests are still raving about how the entertainment was the best they have ever seen and our wedding was the most fun party they have ever been to. The music was amazing and each entertainer blew us out of the water. My friend Brian (aka TwoNice) MCed the wedding and my friend now wants to hire him for her wedding - I always knew how incredible he is but I loved hearing it first hand from my guests. In addition, my friend John Ward was the percussionist, and he is unbelievable. He killed it! And so many friends and family members have videos of playing the drums with him. The dance floor was packed the entire night - a handful of guests didn’t even eat because they had so much fun partying and dancing. We also had a photobooth through Richie Hart, and all the guests loved it! We had the black and white photos that looked like the Kardashian photo booth pictures - we received all copies via email B&W and colored. If anyone is on the fence about getting a photobooth, if it is within your budget, GET IT. I didn’t get the chance to take many photos with guests except the photo booth. In addition, so many family members forgot to take pictures, but have a ton of photo booth pictures. It is totally worth the investment. Everyone was dancing the whole night, but people loved the idea of grabbing a drink and running over to the photobooth and taking some pictures.

    Non-Stop Party

    Richie Hart and his team DELIVERED! We did a hybrid setup for our wedding, including an MC, singer, percussionist, and saxophone player…and, just, wow! The party was non-stop!!! I wish I could recall the names of everyone who worked our wedding because they were top notch!!! Working with Richie was stress free and easy, I never his doubted his talents and therefore, trusted his team would not disappoint. I never left the dance floor on my wedding day and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Richie!

    Amazing experience

    We came across Richie Hart services through a recommendation from somebody else. I am a Latina and my husband is American, so we needed our wedding music to have a good mix of both our cultures. I explained this to Richie on our initial phone call and he said he had the perfect guy who completely understood my culture. He was right! He put us in contact with DJ Eddie! We also decided to have a percussionist for the reception. He put us in contact with John Ward. Best decision my husband and I made. They were both sooo amazing! They had everybody at our wedding dancing ALL NIGHT LONG! And I mean all night long, from all backgrounds and all ages, everybody was dancing. Eddie and John made our wedding so special and fun, everybody was playing with John (who, by the way, is an amazing salsa dancer). Eddie kept the beat going the whole time with minimal announcements, which is what we wanted. It did not feel like they were working, they were a part of it all and were having as much fun as everybody else on the party, which was a nice feeling for us. It was just perfect, Richie made sure to check in with us and made sure everything went well and all things considered we thought the pricing of it all was very fair. The next day, my husband and I said the music services was probably the best money we spent on the wedding preparations. A day I will never forget and Eddie and John are a big part of that. Thanks Richie for such excellent service!

    April Weddinf

    We hired Richie Hart and DJ Loyal for our micro wedding in April 2021. To say that Richie Hart Events is amazing is a major understatement. We had to change our original wedding plans to accommodate the NY State guidelines and we were worried about being able to find a DJ at the last minute. We called Richie and he was unbelievably kind and helpful. He reassured us immediately and was able to schedule DJ Loyal to work at our wedding. DJ Loyal kept the party going the entire time and kept everyone on the dance floor! We will be working with Richie Hart Events for our larger October reception as well and I am so excited to plan the event because he was so easy to work with. Thank you, Richie for helping us celebrate!

    Engagment Party

    Hired the Harts (Richie and Debbie) after I already planned my daughter's engagement party but needed their help in decorating and setting up the venue. They had great suggestions and did an outstanding job. The room was transformed from blah to a high energy party setting. My daughter wanted a club atmosphere and it was delivered! From the lighted stage, bar and hight top tables to the taple settings and flowers, the room was they flush with club and high energy ambience. I would definetley recommend as they listen to what you envision and they deliver!

    A highly professional and easy-to-work-with team!

    It was wonderful to work with Richie Hart and his team. From the very beginning, we knew what we wanted sound and light-wise and Richie did an amazing job bringing our vision to life! We went over everything in detail several times with him, as well as with the awesome DJ that Richie referred us to. Organizing a wedding is always a difficult and stressful process, but with Richie's help, it all came together beautifully and the process, as well as the results were exciting and simply perfect!! The sound, the equipment, the lighting and the team that worked our wedding were all great! You can rely on them and know that they'll do their best to make your dreams come true!!

    My Wedding Entertainment Services

    I came across Richie Hart Events when I was desperately looking for my upcoming wedding entertainment. After I watched their videos, I knew exactly Richie Hart Events would not disappoint me. Richie Hart is one of the nicest person I worked with. Richie Hart Events had an amazing DJ, MC and a saxophonist who performed so well at my wedding I was getting a lot of compliments from my guests. I'm so grateful I had a pleasure working with the team and would highly recommend for an amazing entertaining experience. Thank you so much again to Richie Hart Events for making my day so special.

    Our Wedding Reception - Everyone LOVED the music!

    Our DJ, Russell, played the exact songs we wanted and kept our afternoon party alive the whole time! Our family and friends had an amazing day and are still talking about it 2 weeks later. We also had Danny play the sax and sing, and everyone said what a beautiful and special touch that was! I would definitely recommend him! We are very happy with Richie Hart and his team.
    Thank you to all for a job well done and for making our wedding reception extra special! :)

    Exceptional company!

    Richie Hart Events was a preferred vendor of our wedding venue. We decided to hire them as our entertainment, after having researched several other companies. After our initial in-person meeting with Richie Hart, we felt extremely confident that he and his team would bring our vision to life. In speaking with several friends who are DJs themselves or frequently work with entertaining companies, we felt very relieved when everyone's response to our hiring Richie Hart Events was, "Wow, you made the best choice!" We were an enthusiastic and excited party group who wished to see the dance floor occupied all night. The team brought it!!! We hired a DJ, MC and two live musicians (saxophonist and percussionist) and they were PHENOMENAL! Our guests were on the dance floor from start to end, and the compliments that we received regarding Richie Hart Events were innumerable. Prior to the wedding, Richie Hart Events sends out a wedding formalities document, to be completed with special song requests and other differing reception requests - They met all of ours!!! We are an Italian, Irish, Australian family and had requested some songs specific to our backgrounds, and Richie Hart delivered! You will NOT be disappointed with this team! They are true entertainers and genuinely wanted us to have the best night of our lives. I cannot speak any more highly of their professionalism and execution! They've been a successful business in the industry for many years and it is no surprise why they are so reputable! Thank you for playing a huge part in our special day!!!!

    Amazing! FUN! Experience !

    We used Richie Hart Events. And extremely glad we did. Our Mc was Brian Miller. In all honesty, Brian is hands down the BEST MC on the planet. No joke, with how many wedding we have been too and now ours... Brian made our night so much fun. Everyone loved him and wanted to take pictures with him lol. Brian and I ( the bride) even got to have a salsa dance moment and it was EPIC. Seriously i can not recommend Brian enough as the MC. The dj alone was great, we did ask for certain music that wasn’t all played. But! I will not at all complain cause he played BETTER music. He seriously pulled out the best jams. The dance floor never ended! We put our trust in that team to keep that floor going and I am so glad we did. They knew what to do and what not to do! Highly recommend.

    Best Entertainment Company!

    The Richie Hart team was amazing! From start to finish they listened to everything we wanted. My fiance wanted an acoustic guitarist for the cocktail hour and he had a long list of songs that he wanted to be played. He played every song perfectly and I heard many compliments from my guests. The MC, Too Nice, was absolutely amazing! He kept the party going and got everyone out of their seats. He definitely made my wedding fun and memorable. I highly recommend having live musicians. Richie provided a drummer and saxophone players. All my guests loved interacting with them and banging on the drums. If you want an expert in the industry for your event, see Richie Hart and his team!

    Best DJ, band, and entertainment company in the industry

    We want to thank Richie Hart from the bottom of our hearts. One of the memorable things my husband loved most about Richie is that immediately after the ceremony, Richie was right there to congratulate us with such enthusiasm. His energy is simply unmatched. I have never seen him without a huge smile on his face and you can just tell how unbelievably passionate he is about what he does. We knew that his band and DJ would be amazing, but they exceeded our expectations and absolutely blew us away. Their band is the best I have ever seen in my life. Their singers and musicians are so incredibly talented and are able to engage the crowd. The dance floor was packed all night. If I had to describe this company in one word, it would be charismatic. They are all so cool and down to earth and have a charm and energy that made the wedding so much fun. Their string quartet played so beautifully and their drummer was just having the time of his life!!! We are in awe at the delivery of their performance and we are just so grateful we found and chose Richie Hart. From Day 1 we felt like we were hanging out with friends instead of doing a business transaction, and that was a big part of what made the process so easy and effortless. We love you guys so much and if I could give you 10 million stars, I would, because you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dear Richie,
    Fabulous. Exquisite. Outstanding. Crowd Pleasing Wedding Event, Musicians par excellence.

    David and I cannot express our pleasure, admiration, accolades and gratitude enough for the wonderful musical team you and Jill put together for us! Each musician’s performance was outstanding and perfect in their performance and presentation at our wedding event in November at the Guggenheim Mansion at the Village Club of Sands Point, Long Island.

    The Violinist Michael, and Pianist Marty, were a fantastic duo and I thank them for playing my selections for the Hospitality and Ceremony events. Everyone commented and appreciated their appropriate selections and expressed their favorable reactions to us.
    For the cocktail hour and reception, Danny as Sax and Vocalist was outstanding. The audience raved about his many talents, and the mood he created throughout was sensational. The music selections were perfect and the audience loved his foreground and background presence.

    Anthony as DJ followed our playlist perfectly and knew how to change up the music to both energize and entrance the guests. Guests of every age enjoyed hearing their favorite selections. All the entertainers were just wonderful.

    Geronimo the Motivator was the star... he skillfully engaged the guests, created enthusiasm and energy for the dances, and encouraged participation and spirited dancing for everyone. David commented that three women arrived with canes but Geronimo had all three up dancing on the dance floor before the event was over!!! That’s one for the record books!!!!

    Richie, we can’t thank you and Jill enough for your ability to understand our vision, and for your professional acumen to make it happen for us. We are extremely grateful and appreciative of your professional services. It was just perfect.

    And Richie, we are very grateful that you came and managed the
    Opening events at The Hospitality Hour and the Ceremony. That was very thoughtful and professional, and your personal attention calmed my nerves which set the tone for thoroughly enjoying my wedding day and for which I will be forever grateful. Everything was perfect and is very much appreciated.

    We also used Metro Florist you recommended in Great Neck and we were very pleased. The centerpieces were elegant and moderately priced. The bakery was St Honore in Port Washington, and the cake was delicious and beautiful.

    In closing, bravo to you both for an outstanding musical event.

    A heartfelt thank you to you and to all involved.

    Best,
    Cynthia and David.

    Excellent DJ/Insteumental combo

    Richie Hart’s team is worth it. They kept the energy up at my wedding the whole time, and accommodated a large age range of people with their choice in music. I didn’t worry about a thing!

    WOW! Where do we begin? Richie Hart Events was everything we had hoped for and more with our DJ and MC needs. It’s clear why these guys are the best in the industry. From start to finish, they really pulled out all the stops to make the night enjoyable and memorable for all our guests. The dance floor was never empty. Richie was a big help, creatively, to make sure our wedding would be perfect, and it was. They understood what we wanted and fulfilled all our expectations. We recommend them to everyone we know for all occasions! A big THANK YOU to Richie Hart Events for helping us achieve the wedding of our dreams!

    We got married at the Garden City Hotel and are so happy that we chose Richie Hart to provide our music and entertainment. We combined a DJ with an MC and live percussionist and saxophone player (this combo worked great) and our guests still rave about how incredible they were. We wanted our wedding to have a party vibe with people spending more time on the dance floor than at their tables. After just one conversation with Richie, we were convinced that he would be the perfect guy to keep our guests partying all night. He was both professional and genuinely excited about being a part of our wedding. As promised, Richie and his musicians were fun, energetic, and interactive with our guests, keeping everyone on the dance floor the entire night (bringing out bongos for people to play was a big hit). If you’re looking for a fun party vibe, we strongly recommend using Richie Hart.
