Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know before you book — pricing, availability, our style and more. When dealing with RICO Entertainment, you're dealing with a professional, experienced and trusted team.
No two events are the same — so if your question isn't here, reach out. We're happy to walk you through everything and tailor the perfect package for your celebration.
Check Availability →The majority of our wedding entertainment packages range from $2,499 to $3,499, depending on your date, hours and the experiences you add. Photography and videography are offered separately.
No two events are the same — so rather than list one-size-fits-all rates, we build each package around what you actually want: DJ & MC, intelligent lighting, full-room uplighting, photobooths, the Magic Mirror, Dancing on the Cloud and more, all available à la carte.
To get an exact quote tailored to your date, venue and vision, we recommend a quick consultation with our team.

Click here to schedule a meeting →Our style is best described as a unique blend of high energy, yet classy, modern and elegant. All of our DJs are trained with years of experience and seamlessly mix and remix music to keep the dance floor packed all night.
Our MCs are charismatic and engaging without ever being overbearing — striking the perfect balance between keeping the energy up and maintaining a refined, elegant atmosphere. We avoid DJ clichés and dated gimmicks, focusing instead on curating a playlist and a vibe that naturally pulls your guests onto the dance floor.
We don't just play music — we produce unforgettable nights.
¡Hablamos Español!
We proudly offer bilingual DJ + MC services. Our team is not only fluent in both Spanish and English but also has a deep knowledge of Latin music and traditions. Our DJs are well-versed in curating playlists that span a wide range of genres — from tropical hits like reggaeton, merengue, salsa and bachata to regional favorites such as cumbia and banda, and so much more.
With years of experience hosting both Latin and American weddings, Quinceañeras and Sweet 15s, we specialize in crafting a unique blend of both worlds to match your exact preferences. We're here to make your special day a harmonious fusion of cultures, music and celebration.
