Played at my husband's 40th birthday party

Ryan played for my husband's 40th birthday party and he made the party SO much fun! Not only is he a very talented musician, he is also funny and has fun with the room, is able to read the crowd and see what music seems fitting, he also plays to the crowd. We sang with him, danced with him and everyone had a blast! I would recommend Ryan to anyone.

Ryan is the man! He showed up almost two hours early to our rehearsal to setup and make sure we could focus on what we needed to get done without any added stress. Very professional, responsive to our requests and possibly the funniest guy I've ever worked with :-). We gave him a budget to work with and he made magic happen. Highly recommended; I'd leave six stars if Wedding Wire could get on top of that. Thank you, Ryan- we will be working together again!!!
