We hired Rick for our outdoor wedding and indoor reception. He arrived with plenty of time to setup. We gave him a timeline with our song lists and he provided us with everything we asked for. He was able to get everyone involved during the reception and played a great mix of music for everyone. I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Rick and would be more than happy to recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ with a great attitude. Thanks Rick

When I set out to find a DJ for our May 2019 wedding in Dripping Springs, I thought the task would be easy. I set up nearly a dozen calls with local vendors in Central Texas to see if they would be the right fit. Many of these big name vendors were a bit of a let down and left me wanting more. But, that’s when I came across Upbeat Music run by Rick Giles. During our consultation call, I was left reassured and confident that Rick was the man for the job, and, I couldn’t have been more right. Not only did he bring a secondary station to manage the music during the ceremony, but he even included free uplighting during our reception. From the moment he arrived, he was kind, thoughtful and determined to make our event successful. And, he did that and more. Not only was his music selection exactly what we were looking for, but having him emcee our event kept our event on pace and kept our guests engaged and excited throughout the night. Throughout the night, our guests came up to us several times to comment on his performance and how pleased they were. From our younger guests to our older guests, nearly everyone spent time on the dance floor. If you are planning a wedding or event in the Central Texas region, I HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Rick. You will not be disappointed. My wife and I both can still not stop talking about how pleased we were with his services and his thoughtfulness throughout our wedding. He made it memorable for all those who attended, and for that we are forever grateful!

Thank you Andrew for your very kind review! I enjoyed being a part of your wonderful celebration! You and Adriana are such positive and loving people! It was a pleasure to be around such nice folks and I really enjoyed meeting Mary as she has the spirit of a young woman! She even pushed her walker aside and danced to 'Love me tender'! I hope to be blessed to find more wonderful people and events like yours to be a part of! May you, Adriana and Tucker have a beautiful life together! Cheers, Rick

Rick was absolutely the best DJ we could have chosen for our wedding day. He listened to what we wanted and played a wide variety of music that EVERYONE could dance to. He quickly adapted when the crowd on the dance floor got smaller, and he even joined in on a dance with one of my guest. I also loved how he brought everyone around us to stand in a circle as we did our first dance. My guest were in awe of Rick and the energy he brought the day of our wedding. It definitely helped create a memorable day for us. We truly enjoyed having Rick be a part of our wedding day!

Thank you Vanessa and Kyle for letting me be a part of your wonderful celebration! The views of the Texas hill country were amazing! I feel very fortunate indeed to have been your choice for a DJ, as the BBQ and people were what makes Texas so wonderful to live in! We are truly blessed! Hope to be a part of your future family parties again! Cheers, Rick

We had our Christmas Party on 12/11/2015 & Rick did a fantastic job as our DJ. He played from the list of requests we sent him, plus some fun others. He was punctual, courteous, and fun with our crowd. Would definitely use him again when the need arises. Having his microphone handy allowed us to call out Door Prize Winners and other announcements.
