Victoria and Markus Steinberger

As I stood in the back of the church waiting to walk down the aisle, I couldn't see inside, but I could hear my dreams coming true. Rick's repertoire included songs I have loved my whole life and wanted to share with my guests on my wedding day! Rick was easy to work with, genuine and his passion for music could be heard when he played. He was the perfect accompaniment to our special day! Thank you!

Nina Lockard

Thank you again for providing the music for our wedding. As a fellow musician, I was most impressed by your professionalism, preparation, and the quality of your playing. From the well-known melodies of popular favorites played during dinner to the gentle tones expertly placed underneath our ceremony and readings, your warm sound and elegant song repertoire contributed greatly in achieving the mood we wanted to capture at our ceremony.

The Cleveland Women's Journal celebrated its 5th anniversary with clients, vendors, family and friends. To complement the food, wine and conversation, Rick Iacoboni provided acoustical guitar background music. It was the perfect blend of music from several eras. The music was loud enough to recognize but soft enough so that it didn't interfere with the conversations. Rick chose the right kind of music for our specific occasion. We would highly recommend him for your next celebration.

Thank you for creating ambiance at my sister's bridal shower! Your musical talents were a wonderful added touch. We received many compliments on what a wonderful job you did. You really are very talented and I will continue to pass your cards on.

Jennifer Henneman

Rick Iacoboni was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He went above and beyond our expectations and really added such an amazing touch to our wedding ceremony. He was very professional every time we interacted, as well as on our day. He showed up early, dressed in a full tux for our outdoor summer ceremony and cocktail hour, and played every song we requested beautifully. We have received so much positive feedback from our wedding guests about Rick, and I am so glad we chose to include him in our celebration.

Michelle and Doug Harper

Thank you so much for your performance at our annual company holiday party at the Glidden House. Our guests enjoyed your selection of music and many commented on how sensitive you were to the level of conversation in a given area so nobody had to shout to be heard. We appreciated that you took requests for various songs. Your ability to move to different rooms to follow the party ensured that we always had music around us. That was a real treat. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and professionalism.

Rick played at my husband's 40th birthday party. Rick was very professional and flexible. I was impressed by the diversity of his playlist. I asked him to play a variety of songs. He played all genres fabulously. The party was a big hit and Rick was a big part of the reason why. He really helped to create the perfect ambiance for the party. I highly recommend him for any event!

Just a note to say thank you for your performance at my daughter's wedding ceremony. We were so pleased with your playing. You were dressed so nicely and professional too, which added a touch of elegance to the wedding stage! I was also very satisfied with your easy-to-work-with attitude. You were part of our wedding day that went exactly as planned! I will be sure to recommend you to any friends or family looking for a musician for their wedding or other special event.

Thanks so much for performing our wedding ceremony. It was beautiful, perfect - everything I could have imagined and more. You were so professional, the music was perfect and gently echoed throughout the church perfectly. It really made our day special!! Thank you so much. Really, we couldn't have dreamed of anything better. Thanks again.

Melissa and Tom

Rick is my first choice for creating ambiance for our events at the Akron Art Museum. Very professional and nice!

Sue Parker, Akron Art Museum

I have a retail jewelry store and hired Rick to perform for our holiday client party. He selected just the right kind of music. He set the mood perfectly and only took one very short break. The event took on a classier tone with his beautiful music. I will certainly be looking to hire him again for our upcoming events.

Theresia, Peter & Company Jewelers

A true professional and very talented. Always a hit and very reliable.

Ned Welc, Mayfield Country Club

Rick recently performed his guitar magic at the grand opening for our branch in Fairlawn. He is very talented and his music adds to the atmosphere of the event and is "below the conversation level". I would highly recommend having Rick perform at one of your events.

Mark Seward, Seward Wealth Management

I have had the pleasure of working with Rick on more than one occasion, and he delivers beautifully every time! I have received the highest of compliments from guests and clients at the events he has performed at for me. I will continue to recommend Rick to my clients and colleagues, and I hope to do more work together soon!

We have had Rick perform at several Chamber events. We found that his music adds to the overall ambiance, attractiveness and excitement of the event. Many attendees comment that the music was very delightful and a nice touch!

Wayne Lawrence, Executive Director of the
Beachwood Chamber of Commerce

I just wanted to say thank you for providing such a pleasant backdrop to our Women, Wheels & Wine event. It's always a bit of a challenge to turn an auto repair facility into an event facility. Your background music was a warm greeting as the ladies arrived for our evening and a nice gentle backdrop throughout the rest of the night. Thanks again for making our event a tremendous success!

Leigh Anne Best, Mighty Auto Pro

Rick is as instrumental in his networking with others, as he is with his guitar for his business. When talking with Rick, you hear his music coming thru in the way he describes his passion for creating ambiance for corporate events, weddings and more. He is successful in creating an atmosphere that will make your event memorable. I recommend Rick Iacoboni to anyone looking for this valuable service.

Laura Schrader, Pro Vision Painting

I hired Rick to play guitar at my office opening. He was terrific. He was on time, dressed professionally and provided excellent entertainment. I would hire him again, in fact I keep trying to schedule another party in order to have him come back. He is versatile and can perform in most any situation.

Rachel Kabb-Effron, The Kaab Law Firm

I hired Rick to provide background music at the annual Right to Life of Summit County Dinner and Auction and he did a fantastic job. The selections he chose to play and the volume of his performance were perfect for "dinner music". It made such a nice difference having live entertainment at our event and he did a beautiful job for us. Thanks again, Rick!

Karen Becker, Becker Signs

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding ceremony. Your talent was admired by all who attended! From the beginning to end you were so personable and a joy to talk to. Your concern for making sure everything was just how we wanted it was so appreciated. You made our day so extra special, and the musical touch you added will be something that I will remember forever!

Jessica and Joe Veselenik

Rick performed at my outdoor June wedding and I was impressed immediately. Being a bride and all, I was understandably nervous and preoccupied, but Rick's playing at the prelude to our ceremony was beautiful and I couldn't believe how clear and beautiful he sounded. Rick was very polite and professional and was very eager and willing to work with my fiancée and myself. He offered ideas for songs to be played at certain parts in the ceremony when I had no clue what song to choose. We were very satisfied with the music and Rick's professionalism, I would recommend him to anyone planning an elegant event.

Katie Lukesic

It was an absolute pleasure having Rick play at our wedding. After listening to a few audio track samples on his website, we knew acoustic guitar was the sound that we were after. We were intrigued by Rick's vast song list -- especially the fact that he didn't only play classical music, but a mix of 50's, 60's and 70's all the way up to the current music of today. Knowing we didn't want traditional music for our wedding, we were able to personalize every aspect of the ceremony with music that was special to us. We received many compliments on the live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Rick was a big hit with our guests! Thanks again for making our day so special, Rick!

Carrie Parkhill Wallace

Colleen and I can't thank you enough for the tremendous job in providing the music for both our wedding ceremony and reception. Your beautiful music was the perfect backdrop for our very special day. Your variety of music made our wedding just that much better. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed your music. We recommend you to anyone looking to provide background music for a special event. Thanks again for helping make our wedding day just a little more special.

Larry and Colleen Varnick

Your musical performance was very wonderful for our parish Christmas dinner. You certainly are a very talented individual and it is no wonder that you are invited to play for so many activities. It was the perfect background music. You provided musical ambiance at a volume that allowed gentle strains of reflection for conversation. Most certainly I will keep you in mind for the future.
