Bass is Loaded! Mobile DJ, LLC

We used the DJ as the MC for the night as well as to provide music as our guests were arriving, through dinner, and first dances. We had a live band, and the DJ provided music during their breaks so the dancing NEVER stopped! The DJ provided all the sound equip. which was very high quality, and video equipment which was used for the synergy production her produced with our photographer. It was outstanding, more than we expected! The DJ helped us to clarify a simple timeline for the night and fit in all the pieces we wanted like toasts, cake cutting, garter toss, bouquet toss etc. He took the lead in coordinating the evening with the band and make it all happen very smoothly. He was very good about comminication with us (the parents) so we were all clear about how things would happen the day of the wedding.

Rick was wonderful to work with. He was super professional, friendly, and knew what he was doing. He gave great advice on what he has seen done at other weddings and gave his recommendations on what we could do, but also allowed for the bride and groom to have full control over final decisions made. His recommendations and knowledge gave me great comfort when I had NO idea what to do or how things were usually done! He also put a lot of time into our first dance song revisions and he also kept the party going at the reception for the few of us left dancing up a storm. We had a great time.

he was great really pro great sound and great sound durring the wedding great mic setup and speakers

Oh my gosh i love bass is loaded! best dj ever! really great for weddings!

Rick is awesome! He took our words to heart and made our wedding the best day of our lives. He was so helpful and was an amazing guide through the process. we had a great party and will remember that day for the rest of our lives. He was our time keeper and kept the party going smooth! there was never a dull moment and we truly believe that the dj makes the party. lame dj= lame party. if you want lame go get it! if you want honest, hardworking, funny, energetic, and someone who will make the day about you... then choose rick and bass is loaded

my friends recommended him, so we gave him a call and he was really nice and cool, so we talked then booked him and when it came to wedding day he made everything sound so nice and good, and when it came to dance time he really got us dancing!

Rick did a very nice job and i plan on using him for future party's and was very flexible throughout the whole process. All my guest really enjoyed him. Make sure to look into noise permits because his sound is great, and he did a good job with the mics!!! great DJ

after talking to people who has used him and all said he was great, we picked base is loaded and we were not dis pointed he is a great dj and takes his job really serious. A+

Working with Rick was so easy and fun. He was very enthusiastic and had great ideas to fit our theme and customize the music just for us. During the event he was flexible and made instant modifications to make sure everything fit into our time schedule. His equipment was all top-of-the-line and his set-up was very professional. I couldn't believe he was operating 3 different computers at the same time and made everything flow seamlessly. Don't skimp when choosing a DJ, if you want your event to be fabulous you need to hire the best!

Rick always responded to our emails and calls in a timely manner, and was able to incorporate all the suggestions we made. We relied on his expertise a lot, and he came through in every way. The party was fantastic. Everyone raved. Rick helped the party go smoothly, flawlessly, and provided atmosphere, energy, and exactly the right mood. He was able to act as an mc, and coordinate things we needed him to do, even when they were spontaneous requests. He took requests from guests and was able to be spontaneous and at the same time, he provided exactly the kind of mood we had asked him to help us achieve. I'd say that's a great value. Rick is personable, professional, and able to take charge where needed, but without drawing too much attention to himself. He supports the mood and doesn't overwhelm it. That's exactly what we were looking for.

I can't say enough about how they changed our wedding for the better. They really knew how to get a party going, the night was just amazing. Never had more fun in my life dancing with my husband and all my friends. The staff was really smooth and chill to work with, and it's a great way to entertain your guests.

after searching around i found bass is loaded, i saw there youtube page watches some videos and see that he is really into djing and i knew he would be great! and turns out he was great and will use him for other events!! A+++++++++

Rick went above and beyond anything we could ever expect!! From the very beginning of our professional relationship, he was completely on top of everything, from answering our emails/questions almost immediately, to soothing any nerves we had regarding our wedding day. His confidence absolutely held up on our wedding night. We got comments like "this is the most organized wedding i've ever been to! Everything went so smoothly!" Because of Rick and his guidance, no one had any idea that our ceremony rehearsal took all of 10 minutes. From the moment our guests arrived, to the toasting, to the cake cutting, Rick held our audience captive, made sure everyone knew what was going on, and got them moving on the dance floor! He played only the music we requested (60's, 70's, a little bit of 80's) in addition to "must play songs," and he played them EXACTLY when they needed to be played. His timing was spot on, and the music was totally rockin'! The lighting and equipment was top notch, and our karaoke was a huge party hit. Our favorite part of the evening (not to mention the part that had the bride bawling!) was when Rick surprised us with our vows mixed in to our last dance. It was the final touch on our magical night that made everything so, so perfect. We would recommend Rick 100% to ANYONE who needs the best wedding entertainment at a value that is so beyond what they pay. Rick, Thank You again, so much! You were the best!

Our wedding reception was SO much fun that many people said it was the best party they had been to. Some specific things that Rick did for us: Emcee'd and guided the event, provided a custom voice over song for our parent dance with our kids, provided reception music that exactly met our music tastes and kept the party hopping all evening long, provided great ideas for music cues and transitions during the ceremony and reception, and was professional and fun without being a "HUGE PERSONALITY" during the night. We are very glad to have taken the advice of other couples and hired a better DJ for our wedding, it was so worth the extra money.

Rick was wonderful to work with and was dedicated to making our special day everything we wanted it to be. Although the rain changed our plans he was quick to adjust things so we could still start our ceremony on time and it almost seemed like we had planned to have it indoors the whole time based on how smoothly things went. I would choose Rick again in a heartbeat if we ever needed a DJ again.

Rick did a very nice job and was very flexible throughout the whole process. All my guest really enjoyed him. Make sure to look into noise permits because his sound is great!!!

We want to start off by saying that choosing Rick as our MC was by far the best decision we made in the whole wedding planning. We considered putting together one great playlist from iTunes and hitting play for the entire ceremony and reception. That sounded very economical, but would have been a horrible decision! We are so happy that we did not do it this way. Rick really made the whole show run, and run smoother than we ever thought that it could.We just want to give a couple real life ratings of why Rick deserved a 5.0 rating on everything.Quality of Service: Rick really was a MC. I remember at one point in the Reception, I (The Groom) went up to Rick to say that we planned on eating first and then moving on from there to the list of stuff that we wanted to get done (First dance and such). I think that he could see that I was a little rattled, which I was, big day and all. He looked at me and said; �Scott, sit down and relax, enjoy your day, I will take care of all of this!� Being the Type A spazz that I am I responded, �Do you want me to tell the servers when to serve the champagne?!?!?� With out a blink of an eye he just laughed and said, �Have and beer and go mingle with your beautiful bride, I�ll take care of the rest.� This was the best thing that he could have said. I took him up his offer, grabbed a beer and went on to not worry about a thing for the rest of the night. Responsiveness: During the Maid of Honor speech there was a comment made about watching the movie �Night at the Roxbury� during high school. At that point my Best Man and I started doing the Doug and Steve Butabi side head nod, which created a stir with the younger attendees. After that reference the Best Man gave his speech. Rick then remembered that comment and to start the dance floor said �Heard the Maid of Honor loved Night at The Roxbury, so this one is for her!� At that point the chosen softer music faded into �What is Love� by Haddaway. The crowd yelled, the dance floor filled, and remained full for the entire night! Professionalism: Funny story but pissed me off at the time. Outdoor wedding in Oregon, in September is a bold move. Mother Nature scared us enough to rent tents two days before the ceremony. The tent company (Not to Be Named) decided to get there very large truck stuck in the mud no more than 20 feet from isle we were walking down in 2 hours. Rick had to laugh as he told me, and then said �I�ll pull him out.� Then proceeded to unhook his trailer and pull out the stuck truck. Then he hooked his trailer back up and politely showed the drivers how to properly back something up without destroying a flower bed.Value for Cost: Admittedly there was a little bit of a sticker shock going from an iTunes playlist (free) to a professional MC. Rick was very flexible and has packages for every budget. I knew that it was money well spent when I stuck my head out to see how many people were there and I heard a string version of Stairway to Heaven. It was awesome. One piece of advice; Fill out his survey on what you listen too and take it serious and at the ceremony/reception just sit back and enjoy. I promise that you will hear more songs you love and forgot about than you have never heard or do not like.Flexibility: Back to being Type A, and a slight perfectionist, I decided to make the isle that we were walking down twice as long 1 hour before the ceremony. Rick not only moved the speakers, but proceeded to loop the chosen song for the bridal party to walk down to back into itself for a seamless transition when the song ended a bit prematurely.I could honestly sit here and write about this all night. It is sort fun reminiscing on what was a crazy, emotional, beautiful, amazing and stressful day it was. Instead of rambling on I will offer this: I gave Rick permission to give potential clients my personal cell phone number. If you are on the fence call me and I will give you 100 more reason�s why Rick and Bass is Loaded is the right decision for you and your ceremony.Thanks Rick, it was a night that we will never forget.Scott and Lovena Weaver

We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience with Rick, he was A-mazing! He really went out of his way to make our wedding extra special and memorable, something you just don't see very often. Very dedicated, true to his word, and just caring. He went far and beyond our every expectation and I wouldn't recommend anyone else but Rick- he was worth every penny.

Rick did a great job accomodating all our needs. We wanted our day to be special, and after doing a lot of researching of DJ's I felt confident Rick would be the one.I would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking to get married in the Oregon area.

I can't even begin to explain how pleased I was with the DJ services provided by Rick Whitehead at Bass is Loaded. When asked how we wanted our wedding to be, my fiance and I told him fun, memorable, and sparkly. WOW!!! Rick made our wedding the MOST fun, the MOST memorable, and the MOST sparkly. I had several people tell me that it was the best wedding they had ever been too. Others are still telling me what a great DJ we had. I left everything in the hands of Rick, and he really came through. There was energy non-stop throughout the night. The perfect music was played for every part of the night. The music was enjoyed by people of all ages and music preferences. I would recommend him to anyone that wants to have an amazing time at their wedding/reception. Rick was professional at all times and always seemed to be flexible when we had to keep rescheduling our meetings. He's a nice guy that really knows what he's doing. I definitely think our music was the best I've ever seen at any wedding.
