Where do I start with Special Occasion Events INC? I know where to start, Simply Amazing! Rick and his crew provided an experience like no other. All of the guest were blown away with how unique and entertaining the DJ was. It was much more than just music. They were able to fully immerse all of the guest in this celebration. We felt like celebrities and it was out of this world. I can't thank Special Occasion Events INC enough for doing such a fantastic job. They are truly one of a kind.

Rick was fantastic! His team gave us five star service from the moment we met to after the wedding. Rick is organized and knows his stuff. People mentioned they have never seen so many people on the dance floor the ENTIRE night! He made sure the night was about us and not about him and his staff listened when I wanted certain music played. So many people have continued to ask me where I got Rick. You better snatch him up fast because I have feeling he will soon be hard to book! Thank you Rick! Our night was perfect.
