Dj ryan the goat

DJ Ryan was incredible! Easy to work with and communicate/plan with ahead of the schedule. We even threw some changes at him last second and he was accommodating with no issues. Dance floor was popping the entire evening and Ryan did a fantastic job of incorporating our "wedding playlists" into his music selection. Guests are still texting us about our DJ! Highly Recommend.

The best best best!

Ryan was phenomenal! We hit it off with Ryan immediately during our first meeting with him and knew we wanted him to be the DJ bringing the energy on our big day. And he did not disappoint! We had a number of specific surprises for the day and he executed each one seamlessly and was very helpful during the process. The night was a hit and nobody left the dance floor! Big thanks to DJ Ryan!!

Great experience!

DJ Ryan did a wonderful job at our wedding! We really enjoyed working with him throughout the planning process. He was responsive and collaborative and helped us troubleshoot a few logistics ahead of time to make the wedding day seamless. We were shocked by the energy on the dance floor and it was full until the very end of the night!

Best party!

Ryan is the best DJ! He did such a great job from start to finish. I initially saw him at my best friends wedding and when I got engaged I knew I wanted to hire him for my wedding. He is professional, responsive, and did a perfect job extrapolating from the songs I provided him for a great party. He is also excellent at MC'ing the evening and getting people where they need to be. I highly recommend Ryan!

Really great DJ!

Ryan was really great to work with! We were able to send him our playlists for each portion of the wedding and he took it from there. He had a very easy going vibe that made working with him very smooth. He also kept all the music to a normal volume, which we appreciated since we've been to wedding where the music is so loud you can't talk to anyone, but the volume was perfect. We would definitely recommend Ryan!

Throws a heck of a party!

After our wedding Ryan told us, "I had a fantastic time, you throw a heck of a party," but the reality is that he is the one that kept the party going all night long. We cannot say enough good things about Ryan. He was so collaborative leading up to the wedding and very go with the flow, and willing to listen to our crazy ideas. We had a few last minute changes that he adjusted to with ease. An outstanding example of his professionalism, was his offer to edit my dad and I's father daughter dance song for me. My dad and I tap danced together, and I wanted to shorten the song. I was going to edit the song myself, and he graciously offered to do the cut himself. Ryan was outstanding in so many ways, and our guests said the same thing. We wish we could relive the night over and over again.

We loved DJ Ryan!

Ryan was a pleasure to work with. When we hired him he gave us all the information we needed, and was happy to let us create our own wedding playlist. He made sure everything was in order, even on the wedding day. Ryan was very nice and very professional, and the wedding couldn't have been better!

Amazing DJ

We loved Ryan as the DJ for our wedding. I can't count the number of guests that came up to us during the event or after and told us what an excellent DJ he was. We told him during our consult that we wanted "a really fun party with friends and family where we happen to get married" and wow, did he help us deliver. We had the dance floor open for hours and it was FULL the entire time with every age guest. His pre-wedding questionairre is wonderfully detailed and makes sure you've thought about all of the song aspects of the day (there were so many I had forgotten about). He used that information we gave to create the most "us" reception music for the dinner I could ever conceive. He was wonderful to work with and I can't wait to attend a wedding he DJs again!

Amazing fun!!

Ryan was the best!!! He had every one (even my grandmother!) dancing with his great dj skills and was the perfect emcee to keep the night running smoothly. So so thankful he stuck with us through Covid date changes. Thank you Ryan!!

Ryan is a fun DJ, and a great team member! He always arrives on time (usually early), and after his set up he wants to know how he can help with anything else. Ryan puts a lot of thought into customizing the playlist for the couple, and they really appreciate the work he puts in pre-wedding day.

JD Silverthorne JD Silverthorne Wedding DJs

DJ Ryan is an INCREDIBLE DJ and Host that I've had the honor of working with over the course of my career! He's not your typical DJ/Host, he's at your event hours early, helping all of the staff and other vendors be sure your event is everything you want it to be! Highly recommend him as a DJ and guy that you'll just want to have around while planning your wedding!
