Our happily ever after party couldn't have gone as smooth as it did, if we didn't have Ritchie as our MC and DJ. He helped us stay on track and ease our stress by meeting with us on a few occasions to ensure we had all of our bases covered. You can tell he has done many weddings, I think he could have been my planner with all of his tips and advice ?? He showed everyone a fantastic party and kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. I wish I could go back to our wedding night and have as much fun as all my guests had ??(We were to busy greeting and thanking) You won't be sorry if you choose Big and Ritch for your event.

I had an amazing experience with DJ Ritchie Rich! I couldn't have asked for a better night and he just topped it off. Whenever we needed something or had to shuffle some stuff around that was off schedule, he had no issue with that. He got the party started and kept the party going.
He was awesome!!! Any other future party, he's definitely my go to DJ!

Ritchie was very helpful in the planning of our wedding! He had great suggestions and always valued our ideas! At our wedding reception he played a Love Story video that is so special to us and then he got the party started with balloons! It was so much fun seeing all our guests on the dance floor waving them in the air! We could go on and on about Ritchie and how great he is, but all in all we would recommend him to any other couple looking to make their wedding the most amazing day of their lives!

Ricthie listened to us and created a good mix of francophone and anglophone music, just like we wanted. People danced until 2:30 am.

Ritchy from Big & Rich DJ Services was seriously one of THE best decision we made in regards to our wedding! we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! He was our DJ, as well as our MC; we needed a french MC, since 90% of the guests were french, and he did an awesome job on that as well. It was easy working with him, he asked us all the questions required for the DJ and MC portion, therefore I didn't even have to think of anything on my own, he always had everything covered. I would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone looking for a great DJ.

Ritchie is a wonderful DJ. He is very quick to answer questions and make suggestions to make your day absolutely wonderful. We also had Ritchie emcee our wedding and he did a great job with that as well.

We had some very specific requests about the entrance music at my wedding and Ritchie did an absolutely wonderful job with the music to make sure that it was everything we had wanted right down to the proper bars playing as we entered.

Ritchie was amazing! We has so many of our guests say they had so much fun and the music was great. We had couples on the dance floor that had not danced in years. One couple it had been 25 years. Ritchie is very professional and yet so much fun. Thank you for making our wedding so awesome.
