Ron did an amazing job playing for my husband's celebration of life. He did a lovely version of Amazing Grace for the memorial ceremony portion. He brough excellent sound equipment to the venue and shared it with a friend who also sang for the ceremony portion. He then sang through out the entire dinner exhibiting professionalism, work ethic, and versatility. He did an amazing job. Worth every penny! Thanks Ron for helping us honor our loved one in such a special way!

Ron played for my daughter’s outside backyard graduation party and was an absolute hit! Very professional with quality set up and equipment and played the crowd well. Guests were able to enjoy dinner and an outdoor experience with live background music. Everyone raved how wonderful he was. Thank you for making a memorable evening! Will absolutely hire again.

We hired Ron to perform at our anniversary party and he really elevated the experience. Our friends were dancing and singing along to his playing - he knows so many great songs and mashes them up together. We loved Ron!

We were so glad we chose Ron for our live entertainment on our big day! From the booking process to the day-of we had full confidence in his abilities and boy did he come through! Our guests could not stop saying how much they loved his sound and song selections. I'd highly recommend Ron to any engaged couple planning their big day.

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.
