Chad Ricardo: DC's Bar & Bat Mitzvah MC. Your Master of Ceremonies.
For nearly 20 years, Chad Ricardo has been the MC families across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia trust to run the best party of their lives. He has hosted more than 1,000 bar and bat mitzvahs, and he brings the same energy to every one: polished, warm, and always reading the room.
Chad gets teens and grown-ups on the dance floor together, and he keeps them there all night. His ear for music, his dance skills, and his easy charisma turn a celebration into an experience your guests will talk about for years. He is more than an emcee. He is your event’s conductor, and he handles the details so your family can enjoy every moment.
You’ve probably seen him on TV, too. Chad is a sports and entertainment reporter and anchor at FOX 5 DC. He hosts Game Time, the Washington Commanders pre-game show. He is also the founder of The Ricardo Report, which spotlights DMV high school athletes. A James Madison University grad, Chad uses the same mission on stage and on screen: lift up his community and make people feel like the main event.
