Ryan made a wonderful difference!

Because we are classical music lovers, we were delighted to discover a fine cellist to play at our Santa Fe wedding. Ryan is not only talented but also flexible and creative. He gave our ceremony the perfect personal touch. We highly recommend him!

Simply the Best!

Having Ryan provide cello music for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour was absolutely the perfect choice. He was willing to learn a song for our special ceremony moment (the Schitt’s Creek version of Simply the Best), and the variety of music he is able to play is incredible. We had songs ranging from the Avengers theme song, and Beauty and the Beast, to timeless classics like Canon in D. We had a couple slow dancing to his music during the cocktail hour, and even my ring bearer was breaking it down on the dance floor at only 1.5 years old! HIGHLY recommend Ryan to play any event - we are so looking forward to working with him again.

Ryan Smith is thee most talented cellist!

Ryan smith is thee most talented musician we have encountered. We met Ryan 3 yrs ago at a wedding expo in Dillards and followed him on Instagram. We instantly fell in love with his style and music. He was very accommodating through covid and helpful with choosing songs to create a list for our ceremony. He was very delightful to work with. He made communication simple and stress free. 10/10 would recommend him for any and all events!

He was also prompt and worked seamlessly with our officiant to que music etc. Relying on him for day of music took all the hassle and worry out of the wedding planning! The picture below were made even more magical with his music. Seriously choose him!

The best vendor we hired!

Ryan was by far the best choice we could have made for our ceremony musician. He was so helpful, easy to work with, responsive and talented! I can’t speak enough to how much of a pleasure it was working with him. He got me so excited about our wedding each time we spoke and the gift songs he compiled made the experience that much more memorable. Thank you!

Simply Wonderful

Ryan was amazing. Easy to work with, even from a state away. The music was so perfect, well composed and well played. He learned songs for us and really made it special. He was worth every penny we spent and then some. I'll never forget walking down the aisle to the perfect song played live by this lovely artist.

Our experience with Ryan was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly professional and did a fantastic job playing during the ceremony (April 2018 in Albuquerque NM). We really appreciate his willingness to work with us and play a lot of music that isn't typical for weddings including preparing and playing a song he had never heard before our initial request. His services helped make for a beautiful ceremony.

Ryan was the cellist for my Denver wedding in September of 2015. The wedding was held at a museum on an outdoor terrace and it was a beautiful early fall day. Ryan's presence sealed the deal and made the wedding feel so elegant and enchanting--his music entertained and delighted antsy guests before the ceremony. :) Not only was Ryan extremely talented but he was very reliable and personable. The wedding was a magical day and Ryan's presence was part of that special energy. Highly recommend Ryan for future weddings!

Ryan played beautifully at our wedding in Denver. He was on time, courteous, and worked with us on pieces for our wedding ceremony. I would recommend him for any occasion!
