Hired on Thumbtack
Wonderful! Gary came to our rescue when our ukulele player dropped out the week of our wedding. It was so last minute, I thought we'd have to give-up on live music for our ceremony, but sure enough, Gary responded to our Thumbtack post with beautiful examples that were just what we were looking for. With only a few days to prepare, Gary was on time, played beautifully, and really gave our ceremony that extra something to make it perfect.
Thank you so much Gary!

Gary was great. He was extremely responsive to our requests. Our party turned out great and dancing continued because of his choice of music. We have hired DJs in the past who wouldn't play our choices this was a refreshing change for us. I highly recommend him.

We met with several DJ's prior to choosing Gary Rich to be our musician and DJ for our wedding. From the first meeting with him, we knew he was our guy. He was professional and seemed dedicated to helping us having the best wedding we could have. While my husband and I knew we wanted great music, we had no idea how to structure the music for a wedding. He explained about a wedding should have four musical themes, ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dancing. We gave him four theme ideas and Gary took our recommendations and ran with them. Gary has an amazing ability to cater his music to a wide variety of people and kept everyone on the dance floor, young and old until late in the evening. He went above and beyond for us, even willing to do overtime so that he could keep the party going. Two months later, we are still getting compliments on the music. In the craziness of planning a wedding, Gary made everything easy. We feel so fortunate to have found him. Hire this guy, he's amazing!!

We booked About Music Pro for our wedding music in January and couldn't have been happier!! Gary and his team are awesome! We had guitar and violin for the ceremony they did every songs we requested were played flawlessly, it was so beautiful. I had tears in my eyes as I walked down the isle. Gary was our DJ/MC for the night and he rocked it! The reception was like we were at a club in the city- but better! Gary took our requests and also mixed his own songs based on the very eclectic mix of songs we had. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night! Our only regret? The night had to end. You must go with this crew - you won't be disappointed!
Thank you Gary!!

Gary did an amazing job at our wedding. He was so easy to work with, very positive and re-arranged his schedule to accommodate our needs. From the moment we first made contact with him months before the wedding date he was professional, easy to communicate with, very upbeat and was hands on during the planning process. He checked in often the weeks leading up to our wedding and totally got what we were telling him we wanted. He got it perfect! During the wedding several guests said to us both how they really liked the music choices and the vibe of the night. That was all Gary. We basically just told him the genres we like and he took it from there. We highly recommend About Music Pro to anyone! They will certainly do a great job!
