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.

OMG!!! If you are wondering what DJ/MC to book for your wedding, look no further. BOOK RICO NO SUAVE & DJ NUMO DAN!!!! I am 100% a Type A, Perfectionist Bride, and was very transparent with all my vendors about this up front. Not only did Rico No Suave put my mind at ease after our very first conversation, but he was extremely responsive throughout my entire planning process (1 year) AND he made sure to work with ALL my vendors to make sure the day ran ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! From Ceremony to Reception, Rico made sure my vision of what I wanted came out exactly as I had planned. Not only were the "Dynamic Duo" (Rico & DJ Numo Dan) keeping the excitement up throughout my entire reception, they were engaging with all my guests which made it that more special. All of my guests (who are 30's and older) who have been to many wedding, have said it was by far THE BEST WEDDING THEY HAVE EVER BEEN TOO!! And have all said they want Rico & DJ Numo Dan's numbers for future events. If you are looking to have an absolutely PERFECT wedding experience for your guests, BOOK THEM!!!

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!

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.
