  • Rudy and the Professionals are a high-energy, fabulous group of entertainers that appeal to all age groups. They are so easy to work with and very accommodating. They added a very special touch to our wedding reception, keeping our guests on the dance floor all night long. This is the entertainment group you want to have at your next party, reception, or corporate event. -- Cathy A, Columbus, OH, 5/28/2011
  • Rudy And The Professionals are a very professional, organized and accomadating group. They can play a wide variety of music and work hard at getting the groups involvement. One of the unique events was when they did a dance off and rewarded the winners with T-shirts. We will be looking to book them again next year. -- Gavin O, Mason, OH, 12/10/2010

  • Last evening with Rudy and the Professionals was magical. Everyone, all ages, commented on how much they enjoyed the music AND the muscians. Rudy made it more than just music. You have to hear this band and their amazing talent. We asked for four special numbers that were not on their playlist. They were able to do three at least as good as the original. We can't wait for more family events where we can dance to their beat. -- Ed S, Hartville, OH, 11/29/2008

  • This band was the best! We had an Island Theme Graduation Party and from the moment Rudy took the mike, he had everyone dancing. The best part was "The Limbo". What a professional group. If you want an interactive band, this is the one. Rudy works the crowd till everyone gets on the floor. Thanks to this band, my daughter had a graduation party she'll always remember. Thanks Gigmasters! -- Da'rell P, Worthington, PA, 6/20/2009

  • Rudy and the professionals were phenomenal. Everybody commented on how good the band was and the whole night was incredible much to their credit. The MC did the intros exactly how we wanted them and was overall very professional and engaging. Rudy was exactly the entertainer we were looking for. Some family members started playing their bongos and they just rolled with it. I would highly recommend to trust your most special night with these guys. -- Adam N, Akron, OH, 7/17/2010
