Italian-American Wedding DJ in Connecticut
From the tarantella to the last-song singalong, we know how to throw an Italian-American wedding. Award-winning DJ & MC, Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame, featured on NBC, 100+ five-star reviews — and a preferred vendor at Connecticut's finest banquet halls.
An Italian wedding isn't just a party --
it's family, tradition & food that never stops.
A great Italian-American wedding has a rhythm all its own — the grand entrance, the toasts that run long, the nonna who wants Sinatra and the cousins who want the Top 40, and a dance floor that doesn't sit down until the lights come up. For over 20 years, RICO Entertainment has been the DJ and MC that Connecticut's Italian-American families trust to get every one of those moments right.
We're not just pressing play on a playlist. We know the traditions, we read the room across three generations, and we host the night with the warmth and energy an Italian celebration deserves — so your family feels at home and your guests never leave the floor.
We speak Italian wedding
The traditions, done right
The grand entrance, the tarantella circle, the toast, the money dance, the family dedications — we know how each moment should feel and exactly when to call it, so the customs land and the momentum never drops.
Three generations, one dance floor
Grandparents, parents, kids — an Italian wedding is a whole family affair. We read all of them at once and mix so nonna and the college crew are dancing to the same night.
From the crooners to right now
Dean Martin, Sinatra, Bocelli and the tarantella flow into today's Top 40, hip-hop and throwbacks — old world and new, blended seamlessly instead of played in separate blocks.
One team, the whole production
Pro RCF & Pioneer sound, intelligent lighting, full-room uplighting, Magic Mirror photobooths and Dancing on the Cloud — every element handled in-house, perfectly in sync, by one trusted company.
Old world meets the dance floor
The songs an Italian-American family expects, woven right into a modern reception — so every generation hears their music without the night ever clearing the floor.
Not just Italian — every CT wedding
Italian-American, Latin & bilingual, or a classic American reception — we host them all with the same craft. Planning a blended or bicultural wedding? See how we bring two worlds together on one dance floor.
The DJ your banquet hall already knows
A preferred vendor and a familiar face at many of Connecticut's premier wedding & event venues — the classic Italian banquet halls included — we know these rooms, their timelines and their coordinators, so your night runs seamlessly:
We're one of the very few entertainment companies in the state trusted as a preferred vendor — and proven on the dance floor — across this many of Connecticut's finest venues. When the best venues keep recommending the same DJ, that tells you everything.

Italian wedding DJ — answered
Yes — it's one of our specialties. We've performed hundreds of Italian-American receptions across Connecticut and know the traditions, the family dynamics and the music inside out, from the tarantella and the crooners to modern Italian favorites and today's Top 40.
We blend the songs an Italian-American family expects — the tarantella, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and the crooners, Andrea Bocelli, Louis Prima and modern Italian pop — with today's Top 40, hip-hop and classic party hits, so grandparents and grandkids share the same dance floor all night.
Absolutely. Our MCs know how to run the traditional moments — the grand entrance, the tarantella circle, the toast, the money dance and the family dedications — with the right timing and energy, so the customs feel authentic and the celebration never loses momentum.
