Would hire again in a heartbeat!

Ryan was the best! Working with him was a dream. He made the planning process so easy and he even helped us create the timeline for our reception. He's a very talented musician and he made our cocktail hour feel extra special. Our guests loved him! He also knew how to get the party started! When the dance floor opened, he knew exactly which songs would get everyone dancing. We would hire him again in a heartbeat! He's the best in the business

Wonderful musician and dj!

Our experience with Ryan was nothing short of incredible. Ryan was so easy to work with and was flexible/accommodating in helping us achieve the vision for music on our day. Without hesitation, Ryan learned and performed a new song that I had my heart set on for my ceremony and it sounded amazing. Ryan was organized and great at communicating so that our day ran smoothly. Our guests raved about Ryan and his fellow musicians and were on the dance floor the whole night!

Great music all afternoon at outdoor wedding

Ryan provided the music for our son's outdoor wedding in the Poconos in May. It was a hot day. We put up a little tent canopy and platform for him. His sound system was excellent, as was his performance, and he was a pleasure to deal with. The Guests were very happy!

Ryan Cook made our wedding day so special!

We loved having Ryan be apart of our special day and so did our guests! Working with him was easy and fun. He is well organized and provided a detail spread sheet for us to fill out and then we met to go over the final details. The day of the wedding was a breeze because of this and there were no surprises! Ryan went above and beyond and learned Razor Love by Neil Young for our processional which meant the world to us! He wowed everyone with his amazing live music at cocktail hour and then seamlessly transitioned into DJ for our reception. Ryan was perfect in every way! We cannot recommend Ryan enough. Thanks for making our wedding day so special, Ryan! -Nicole & Kenny

Ryan was perfect for our wedding!

We are so happy we went with Ryan for our wedding reception music. He played live music during cocktail hour with his partner Liam - we got so many compliments from our guests and got to enjoy the music ourselves. Then he transitioned effortlessly to DJing our reception. He was so responsive and accommodating all night long, and even beforehand leading up to the day when we had last minute questions/requests. Overall, such a friendly and chill guy - we highly recommend to those looking for a mix of live and DJ music :)

Authentic Vibe for Rustic Elegant Barn Wedding

Music was the hardest decision for us when approaching vendor selection for our wedding. We wanted a chill vibe for our "rustic elegant" barn wedding, and music that would work for a relaxed family style dinner, dance floor for those who wanted to dance, and chilling by the fire pits with s'mores later. Ryan completely understood our vibe and delivered! His live music during dinner was amazing - we had heard his YouTube videos and they don't do justice to his live performance! Later Ryan switched from live music to DJing and he masterfully balanced the energy for all of our wedding guests. Guests could enjoy conversations at the table while still hearing each other, the dance floor was hoppin from little nieces and nephews up to grandparents and the fireside ambiance outside was on point. As an added bonus, his dance floor lights looked magical on the barn beams. This guy is the real deal, and is unique in the industry with both live and DJ music all in one! We would definitely hire him for any gig!

Incredible Musician and DJ

We are so thrilled that we decided to hire Ryan for our wedding! He was extremely professional, flexible, and generally very helpful throughout the planning process. On top of that, he is an extremely talented performer! Ryan played acoustic guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and DJ'd for dinner and dancing. We loved having the option of hiring one person to do ALL of that, and he did not disappoint! He checked in with us throughout the night and problem-solved last minute changes seamlessly. I highly recommend Ryan for any wedding or event!

A true gem!

Ryan is comfortable to work with and completely understood our “vibe” for the wedding. He truly nailed it- acoustics, DJing, all of it! We got many compliments on his performances. He made a point to chat with us during the wedding, asked for feedback throughout, and vibed with the crowd the entire time. I could not recommend him enough. A true gem!
