Hired on Thumbtack
For our celebration of life, Rick was a great choice. His professionalism, punctuality and thoughtful musical choices were just right. He arrived with all his equipment, set up and played ambient music as background for our event. He was able to accommodate a song or two off his vast song list to open & close our short ecumenical service, too. He was quick and easy to communicate with by email and phone and responded promptly. We would recommend Rick for his wonderful instrumental guitar playing for almost any event you could think of. He was a super choice!

We had the pleasure of having Acoustical Guitar by Rick Iacoboni provide the music presentation for our Music and Memories program, and the experience was excellent.
Rick arrived on time, was professional, and provided music for the entire agreed-upon time. He shared engaging, reminiscent stories and played a wonderful selection of songs that were familiar and meaningful to our audience. His performance encouraged participation and sparked many positive memories and conversations among attendees.
Rick was also very accommodating, allowing us to use his microphone for announcements throughout the event. In addition, his wife generously donated a lovely gift basket for our fundraiser, which was greatly appreciated.
The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly favorable, and many commented on how much they enjoyed the music and atmosphere Rick created. We would gladly recommend Acoustical Guitar by Rick Iacoboni to any organization looking for quality entertainment, professionalism, and a performer who genuinely connects with his audience.
