Working with Ron was truly incredible. We hired him to play at our wedding and be MC for part of it as well. He is very professional and possesses great talent. Extremely responsive and accommodating to our needs, requests and busy schedules when we were trying to meet to go over all the details. He truly went above and beyond to make our wedding so special. Ron has a great voice and curated such a wonderful atmosphere for all of guests. Everyone loved him! Will definitely be hiring him again for next events.

We booked Ron for my sisters 40th birthday party. Ron was amazing from start to finish. He responded to my inquiry quickly and we booked right away. Just going off of reviews online can be scary, but Ron exceeded our expectations. He provided us a list of his music ahead of time and we chose songs and gave him an idea of what we liked. Our guests danced and sang along all night. We even ended up having him stay longer because he was so good and we were having so much fun. Ron is so personable and felt like he was part of our family and friends. We thank you Ron for such a great time and hope you have a hype man like our dad at all your events.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My minimum rate starts at $500. Typically I can perform solo for up to 3 hours(local travel) for that price. Rates & hours may vary based on location and accommodations (travel distance, hotel, extra equipment needed etc.) Because every project is different, I'm happy to provide custom price for your event
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically the customer will contact me to start the conversation. We'll then have a quick chat to go over specifics. From there, I will issue a contract and accept a 50% deposit to hold the date. Any questions and follow up calls are welcomed once the date is confirmed. The remaining balance is due a week before the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been performing professionally for over a decade, and I play hundreds of shows every year.
