This day was one of the best days of my life. Not only did I marry my best friend, but also the event itself was a huge success and I have Ryan to thank for that. I was not your typical bride. I did not have a "perfect wedding day" dream, a theme in mind, or even a color scheme. "Rustic and natural" is what I gave Ryan to work with. I wanted the day to be simple yet elegant, and I wanted it to represent who Paul and I were as a couple. And boy did Ryan deliver.

Our wedding venue, which took place on a farm, was the perfect canvas for Ryan. He turned my vision into a reality in the most profound way. To begin, in the middle of the field where our ceremony took place, stood free standing, double doors adorned with handmade wreaths that served as an entranceway for our guests. Fall leaves lined the aisle, which led to an arbor covered in fabric and flowers. Inside the cottage where our cocktail hour took place, guests could find a vintage suitcase that housed our wedding gifts, a handmade escort card display, and our twine-wrapped initials hanging for all to see. Leading up to the tent where our reception took place were dozens of mason jars lit with candles that glowed in the twilight. Inside the tent, staggered tree stumps, lanterns, flowers, and candlelight decorated the tables. Tent posts were transformed into fall trees using the branches Ryan had collected and leaves he had glued onto each branch just days before our wedding. Truly, Ryan's artistic talent was seen throughout the venue and his eye for precise detail did not go unnoticed.

Behind the scenes, Ryan designed and assembled our wedding invitations, program, labels for wedding favors, and dinner menu. He was always available, always open to new ideas, always willing to change a plan or design, and always 100% invested. He went above and beyond before, during, and after my wedding and I will forever be thankful for what he did to make this experience the best one of my life!

My husband and I recently got married in August 2014 at Pomme in Radnor, PA, and I can't thank Ryan @ Parties by Ryan enough for creating a beautiful wedding we will never forget. My husband and I were living apart for the year up until our wedding, and I didn't have much time to devote to planning the decor for our wedding. I knew I wanted our theme to be contemporary rustic given our venue. I was overwhelmed by the plethora of options on pinterest, and it was by chance and through a dear friend that I was able to meet Ryan! Ryan was so easy to work with and he was able to create something beautiful, contemporary and tasteful on our tight budget. I was able to collaborate with him on many of the ideas and he remained so patient as I inundated his mailbox with all of my emails :) Ryan created our ceremony and reception decor, including our our delicious party favors - chocolate covered pretzels in assorted flavors! Our guests absolutely loved them. His execution was perfect and we were so impressed by the final outcome. The wedding wouldn't have been the same without Ryan and we can't wait to work with him on our next event!

Ryan truly made our wedding experience one to remember. The beach themed bridal shower was just the start of the process that revealed his attention to detail. The ongoing communications via phone, e-mail and text helped to keep me calm throughout the entire wedding planning process. His support during planning meetings with various vendors helped keep me on track and asking important questions I may have missed. Parties by Ryan was able to make my wedding visions become a reality at a price that was better than I ever had imagined. My flowers were absolutely gorgeous! Ryan created a beautiful aisle that was breathtaking to any bride, groom or guest. The bouquets complemented the bridesmaids and the boutonnieres added the perfect touch to the groomsmen. The various centerpieces were just amazing thanks to Ryan's suggestions. The favors combined fans, thank yous and programs into one in such a unique way that had all of my guests impressed. The personalized bathroom signs, photo booth and guest book were the little extras that showed he cared so much about making our dreams come true. He even captured some amazing photos that he shared with us the next day. Thank you so very much for allowing us to enjoy the wedding bliss while making our dreams come true at the right price! We will be forever grateful as we recommend and use Parties By Ryan for years to come!
