We were pleased beyond words! Our expectations were not just met, but most definitely exceeded. Rico was professional, his music was elegant and we could not have asked for a more fitting musical evening. Rico, thanks you so much for making my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary so memorable.

Rico was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony and reception. The pre-ceremony music fit beautifully with the setting, and established a perfect tone for the entire afternoon. He played exactly what we asked of him during the ceremony, transitioning flawlessly between songs. During the cocktail hour, his musical apaniment kept the guests entertained, but wasn't at all over bearing for those family and friends who wished to catch up with one another. The music was beautiful and did exactly what it was supposed to do, underscore our most special day. As great as the music was, the thing that impressed me the most about Rico was his true politeness and professionalism not only in dealing with myself and my wife, but our coordinator and guests. He provided above and beyond service, was never demanding, and most importantly, played truly beautiful music. It was a pleasure working with him, and I hope to hear him play again very soon.
--Steven Pritchard, Sylmar Ca,

My wife and I hired Rico and a percussionist to play during our wedding ceremony and the ensuing cocktail hour this Summer (July 2010). Rico was a big hit with our wedding guests and I received numerouspliments about the music and how it helped to set a great tone for the event. Rico was extremely professional throughout the wedding planning process and he worked well with our planner to ensure that everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. I would highly rmend Rico for any couples considering similar music for their wedding and I would absolutely be willing to use Rico again for other parties.
-- Eric Witt, Pacific Palisades, Ca
Rico Espinoza, was a True pleasure. He arrived early to set up before our guest arrived. He was extremely professional and talented. We cannot wait to work with him again.
-- Angela D, Westlake Village, CA,
We absolutely loved Rico. He and his percussionist played for our reception and they were without a doubt the icing on the cake. He is a talented musician and in my book one of the best expenditures of our entire wedding budget. So glad we found him and we appreciated his professionalism and his graciousness. If you love guitar do not hesitate in contacting Rico. You can listen to samples of his playing on his website and see him play. Thank you Rico for setting a romantic and fun mood and for taking all the requests
-- Gina W. Redondo Beach, Ca
Rico and his crew were great, Guitar playing perfect, Percussionist of the hook and Rico as the DJ choose the perfect music. The only thing my wife and I regret is not being able to enjoy the guitar playing more (had to hear from everyone else how great the music was). Total professionals and would definitely rmend Rico and his crew anytime.
Thanks again guys!!
