The absolute best!

Ryan was so much fun and created the best wedding + party experience for us. He was willing to work with us on special requests and kept the dance floor full the entire evening. 100% book him now, because he was one of the best parts of our day :)

Best DJ and live music a bride could ask for

Ryan with Gorge Music was incredible. Amazing value and having live instrumentals at our wedding really added such a special touch. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend him to any of my friends. 10/10

Such a pleasant experience!

We throughly enjoyed working with Ryan. From start to finish he was so professional while also being caring and truly invested in what we told him we wanted for our day. He was able to do an excellent mix of songs we requested and songs that were later requested on the dance floor so everyone got a little something they liked. The Jazz trio was such an incredible touch to our cocktail hour. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
