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.

Gary was our music performer and director for our wedding this year. He provided a string quartet for the ceremony, a jazz trio for the cocktail hour and a 7-piece band with a DJ/MC plus lighting for the reception. Gary was hands on every aspect of the music and agenda. Our wedding was incredible our guest raved about how great the music was! Our wedding was on a weekend of a rainstorm, which caused a lot of stress and worry. After speaking with Gary, he was able to give us reassurance and confidence that all the entertainment and equipment will be just fine and that should be the least of our worries. The day of the wedding everything worked out even better as imagined and Gary handled the entertainment outstandingly despite the weather. We would like to thank Gary as the Band leader, DJ/MC and musician and his band for their professionalism!

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!!
