Patrick Ross

es), but felt that a band would be a bit much and often only have limited song catalogs. Patrick was the perfect solution. Like any DJ he played a great mix of our favorite songs, but then on many of them overlaid his own guitar and fiddle on top (“takeovers” as he calls it). Some of our favorite moments were just him jamming along as everyone danced. The drums added even more energy throughout. The dance floor was going the whole night and in the time since our wedding, so many guests told us the music was their favorite part.  For our reception, he learned our requests for processional and recessional and played a creative eclectic mix of acoustic music during our cocktail hour. Plus, he was so thoughtful, patient, kind, and helpful during the weeks and months coming up to the wedding. He brings all his own sound equipment and was so patient and receptive even with our neurotic consideration of microphone placement during the ceremony. When we first talked to him, his told us how meaningful weddings are to him and how he truly loves performing at weddings — it could not be any more clear. All-in-all, could not recommend Patrick more! 

ts all evening! He was organized, thoughtful, and listened to all our requests and played only songs we loved. His band did “takeovers” of some of our favorite songs, and it was the perfect mix of live music and DJ- best of both worlds ! A band member even surprised us with a saxophone set! Guests were vibing with their energy and they really made the night. 10/10 recommend!

fter receiving a recommendation for Patrick, we felt he was exactly what we needed after our very first conversation. Throughout the wedding day, he played many instruments, which brought a great sense of entertainment and uniqueness for our guests to enjoy. Dancing to our favorite songs while he played on the guitar, violin, banjo etc. was an absolute blast and set the perfect atmosphere! Patrick was not only professional but also very approachable and great person to talk with. He’s very flexible when it comes to your selection of music for the day. We were able to to create our own playlists which was amazing as he seamlessly played along with ALL the songs we chose! Patrick was truly the heart of our wedding day. He provided structure, awesome vibes, and an SOO MUCH fun! We can’t thank him enough and highly recommend!

understand our vision and preferences. The quality of their work was top-tier and the live music he provided was beautiful, professional, and caring. Patrick learned our wedding song and performed it exceptionally, blending seamlessly into the background of our ceremony and reception. He played multiple instruments beautifully and was so kind and thoughtful, going with the flow even when our wedding was not as organized as a usual wedding. Having Patrick there truly made our wedding day one to remember, and we feel so lucky to have had him be a part of our special day. We can't imagine our wedding without him, and anyone would be fortunate to have Patrick Ross Music/Rock Farmer Records at their own wedding.

e adds such a cool mood and vibe to my images as a wedding and elopement photographer. I'm sure his couples would say the same! Can't recommend him enough!

him for a late night fireside sing a long!). 1,000% recommend.

lay Strays, and honestly, their rendition was even better than the original! They accommodated every request we made and were always open to learning new songs or trying something different. This definitely won’t be the last time we hire Patrick – we want him to be part of all our future celebrations! Thank you, Patrick, for everything you've done for us. – M&Z

d family saying how awesome it was, it was one of their favorite parts of the wedding. Having the ability to hear your favorite tracks with live instruments going along or in between songs was incredible! We had never been to a wedding with this style before and I don't think we can ever go back, ours set a new bar! If you're considering hiring Patrick and his band for your big day, don't hesitate - just do it!

ay until the last call for the busses to leave. Patrick was really fun to work with and super helpful in all stages of planning/on the day of the wedding. I'm so grateful he was able to be there with us. My wife and I were on the dance floor almost the whole night! :)

n with us many times leading up to the event and while my husband and I are quite disorganized, Pat really helped us pull it all together. He played with two other fellas who were equally as talented and wonderful. He even stayed for a bit after to jam by the fire with our friends. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to have great music and friendly faces at their event. You will not regret it!!! In fact- they’ll exceed your expectations.

During dinner and dancing he curated great music for the vibe of the event. We were looking forward to the dance section with friends and family and gave him a sense of the type of music we were looking for. He picked up our tastes just right with the list and added so much with his accompaniment from fiddle to guitar. There were always people on the floor dancing and Patrick balanced our taste with a perfect read of the room. After the formal wedding was over, our dads picked up their guitars for a late night jam session with the guests. Patrick was packing up but impromptu joined in with his fiddle. It was great to watch him get excited about the music and jam it up with them! During the planning stage of the event, Patrick was very clear with his needs and was open and enthusiastic about our musical requests. Hire Patrick, you wont regret it!

and DJ the reception. After asking us for a bit of guidance, Patrick understood exactly what we wanted. He was very thorough in his communication leading up to the wedding, which made the day of the wedding very easy. One highlight was when he played live fiddle along to "Wagon Wheel" during the reception. Patrick also was very helpful coordinating the toasts and sound system and made sure everything ran smoothly.

He is incredibly talented (and super humble). Patrick played our ceremony, including playing my requested song, his rendition of "Rise" by Eddie Vedder on violin as I walked down the aisle, and fiddled everyone down the hill to cocktail hour. We also hired a guitar player, a friend of Patrick's, to play with him for our cocktail hour and then Patrick DJ'd the night away for the reception. It was incredible, but especially when he fiddled along with the music. Our guests on the dance floor were in awe and stopped to watch him in the balcony. Guests came in from the bar to hear him play. It was so magical. Everyone has not stopped talking about how amazing that was. Patrick was one of the most easy going vendors we worked with for our wedding, a true professional and master of the fiddle for sure! Patrick was flexible, and when I had to make the call to have the ceremony outside when it was pouring rain, he was willing to still play outside with an umbrella. We are so happy we selected him and that he was able to work with us. I would highly recommend him!

y came out (at my request like a day beforehand, eek!) and Canon in D for the procession. I NEVER thought I wanted a musician at the wedding (thought it was too formal), but it was so perfect for our small, laid back outdoor wedding. He is a musician first-and-foremost, and we basically told him to play whatever he felt like as people were sitting down and as the recessional and during the cocktail hour. People were raving about him. He set up to DJ the wedding and serve as the emcee, which he did well at. Our wedding was super small and all older and family members, and after the first dance the dance floor was abandoned to everyone talking to each other and catching up. He quickly adapted and started a background performance by combining DJ'd music with cleverly-played fiddle "overplaying" accompaniment which was really amazing. It fit the mood perfectly. He then surprised me by meeting us all at the impromptu bonfire and playing as people toasted marshmallows before heading to bed. I couldn't believe how flexible and seamless he made it. I love that he is a musician who uses this to support himself while pursuing his other musical pursuits, and felt good about supporting a small local business. I was not disappointed, and he made some of the most memorable moments of the night.
