Rico has a fun personality and is a great MC. He provided helpful tips for our wedding day and as a bride, I really appreciated that! Would recommend Special Events Inc

Rico is super talented and keeps the floor moving, the DJ really knows how to read a room and transition. Honestly an awesome duo! Thanks for an amazing night Rico! You guys really knocked it out of the park for us. We'll be seeing you again for sure

Rico and Jeff were simply amazing! Our company definitely needs some coaxing to get them out of their shells and Rico was so energetic and fun that we had so many people on the dance floor, there wasn't room for anyone else. I got so many compliments on them that I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and everyone planning on having a DJ at their event.

Loved loved loved Rick and his team! He literally did everything with the biggest smile on his face, made sure we were always having a great time, and literally made the party with his outgoing personality! I especially loved how he joined in on the dancing...he's got some moves :) He was amazing with all our guest to the point where 8 had several people ask where I found him so they can use him in the future Some guest even requested his business card personally! I would definitely recommend Special Occasion Events to anyone who is looking for a team who will go above and beyond! Our reception was perfect!

They took time with me and walked me through the entire experience. They called when they said they would and kept every promise. That strong work ethic gave me trust and peace in my choice. Very reliable!

Brittney H.May 2017

We hired Special Occasion Events for our wedding on Sunday. We were exceptionally impressed with Rick- His flexibility, energy, and presence were exceptional and exceeded our expectations! He and his DJ, kept our guests having a blast! Compared to so many quotes we received- we felt the value of the service we purchased was amazing! I would hire his company over and over agin! He even let me Karaoke at the end of the wedding! Nothing like a bride rapping Gangsta's Paradise to close out a celebration! Rick- THANK YOU! for helping to make our day amazing! We couldn't have asked for more!

Thumbtack customerOct 2016

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Rick and his team of pros who helped make my daughters wedding perfect. I found Rick here on Thumbtack, stuck up a dialogue on what our needs were. He then came out to our house to continue the conversation and we found him energetic, knowledgeable on all current and older music, gentlemannly and was obviously a pro in all respects. We ended up hiring him not only as our DJ (he brought a second DJ pro along) but also hired a photo booth (what a blast with tons of props) from him and 2 lovely ladies for party help from him! Rick and his colleague DJ not only kept the dance floor packed but also got down on the floor to lead the line dancing, revved up the guests for the out of the box introductions (think Star Wars theme music and a light saber tunnel) and delivered more than we could even begin to ask for. 0n a scale of 1 to 10 we give Rick and his crew a 20!
