Rico and Jeff were simply amazing! Our company definitely needs some coaxing to get them out of their shells and Rico was so energetic and fun that we had so many people on the dance floor, there wasn't room for anyone else. I got so many compliments on them that I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and everyone planning on having a DJ at their event.

If you're looking for an MC/DJ for your wedding, look no further than Rick at Special Occasion Events. We hired Rick after he was the MC/DJ for 2 different weddings in our friend group. He goes above and beyond every step of the way and is an excellent communicator with the bride and groom and also the other vendors. We loved that he hyped up the wedding party before making the entrance to the reception and continued to hype up the room for speeches, dances, and all of the other important moments. He keeps the dancing energy high by reading the crowd and making sure that the right songs are being played at the right time to fit the vibe. He even leads dances for those who don't know them and makes people feel comfortable joining in. At other weddings we went to with different DJs, it was sometimes unclear what was happening or what would come next throughout the night, but with Rick, the guests always knew what was going on. We got so many compliments from our guests about Rick's talent and personality as an MC. He is truly gifted at this. Thank you for everything Rick - you made our event so special and stress-free. You're the best!

We had an absolutely amazing time at our wedding. Rico was professional, family oriented and brought great energy the entire evening. The guests were really impressed and got to engage in many events throughout the night. We would highly recommend.

Rico was suave (smooth operator). Ha! He is super professional and has the gift to hype up a crowd as an Mcee. He is a super positive person and knows what he is doing in front of a crowd. He also helped us with the choreography for our 1st dance at our wedding. Look no further you have found your man!
