The perfect touches

Thank you for bringing our daughter’s wedding vision to life with all the special touches. Your gorgeous lighting and decor transformed the clear white tent and the outdoor spaces, overlooking the water into an elegant venue, more beautiful than we could ever imagine. We are so thankful for your team and their services.

Perfect wedding lighting

Ryan Designs helped us with lighting for an outdoor tent wedding and some bistro lighting over a patio. They were super helpful in discussing what options might work out the best to create the beach vibe with emphasis on the dance floor through the rattan lighting features and spacing of the tent lighting. Great advice and execution at the event. Strong communication. Would highly recommend.

Great reputation! Easy to work with

Ryan Designs was easy to communicate and work with, they added a beautiful touch to our wedding day which included lighting and draping at the Spring House. Their team seamlessly traveled to and from Block island to compete their work making life easy on us planning the big day. They are dependable and professional, I’d recommend them to anyone!

Amazing experience with Ryan Designs!

Working with Ryan Designs was an absolute dream from the very first day I reached out to the day of our wedding! Their professionalism, excellent communication, and stunning portfolio were all key factors in my decision to hire them for our Newport wedding. They completely transformed a beautiful ballroom into an even more breathtaking space. The lighting truly brought our vision to life, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a vendor who listens to your needs and exceeds expectations, we highly recommend Ryan Designs. They made our big day even more magical!

Easy and Beautiful Design!

Ryan Designs did the lighting for our Cape Cod wedding in September! We worked with the couple getting married the night before to keep the same lights as they planned so we didn't do too much in-depth correspondence with Ryan Designs, but the conversations we did have were prompt, easy, and very pleasant. The lights looked beautiful and were a major focal point of the design. Would definitely recommend!

wonderful custom work for us!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience hiring Ryan Designs for our wedding - they provided lighting, custom rigging for floral installations, draping, and a custom bar with a monogram logo from our invitation suite. They were so easy to work with (shout out Lisa!) and the set up crew that came was super nice and did such a great job. Everything looked beautiful!

Amazing experience!

We booked ryan designs for our big day at sweet berry farm. The team was recommended by our venue and I can see why! I reached out over email and they were super responsive. It was seamless to book and they coordinated directly with the venue on the dropoff/pickoff time. The lights looked absolutely amazing and gave us the energy we were looking for during the reception!

Perfection!

Truly a pleasure to work with. RD is so responsive and listened carefully to my ideas of how I wanted our rattan lanterns and bistro lights to hang. The venue looked so stunning with their lights, and they communicated with our venue, so I didn’t have to be in the middle! I would highly recommend them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
