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 Rich was DJ/MC and Pianist at our wedding on 1/22/17. I could go on and on about every bit of the experience leading up to and during wedding that was absolutely awesome AND EASY because of Gary, or you could just read the other 5 star reviews! I think more valuable than my opinion is that of our photographer. We used a GREAT photographer, and her comment to us was that Gary was the best DJ / Pianist she has seen at a wedding!
If you can, use Gary or anyone at About Music Pro, they will give you a great party, but more importantly, it will be EASY. For you grooms out there, easy means less stress for your bride!
Gary and the party he made was one of the best parts of our wedding.
Thank you Gary

Our wedding day was awesome thanks to About Music Pro!. There were a few things that I wanted to make sure we didn't skimp on and that was our wedding DJ and musicians. I wanted to make sure that our music was unique and special to us. From the ceremony through the reception, and I'd be able to connect with my DJ and musicians on musical taste. After looking into About Music Pro, I had good feeling about Gary the owner. He was so responsive and helpful through the entire process, any question I had he would answer in a heartbeat. We talked briefly about what kind of music I liked and he suggested Guitar and violin for the ceremony and cocktail hour and DJ for the reception. That worked incredibly.
We talked with Gary about one month before, he understood right away what we wanted and was so easy to work with. This whole process was so easy and our wedding day was a blast. The music was spot on and the dance crowd was happening all night. You know you have a good DJ when he got our conservative German parents onto the dance floor (never expected that). Haha, I wouldn't change my decision on this for the world and I recommend them fully for anyone’s wedding needs. Thanks you About music pro team!
