Stunning!!!!

All I can say is WOW. We are so ecstatic that we hired Ryan for our wedding day entertainment. Not only is he incredibly, incredibly gifted, but he’s also an awesome person to work with. Ryan set up a consultation right away and asked us to prepare a list of songs/artists/genres that we wanted at our event… and boy, did he deliver. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. Ryan was flexible, accommodating, and always quick in communication.

If you’re looking for the perfect addition to take your event over the top and blow away your guests, look no further. He’s the real deal.

Highly recommend!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ryan was excellent to work with! He brought his own equipment and was set up well before the ceremony. He played acoustic music through our ceremony and also sang during the cocktail hour. I had a few song options I was between for the ceremony and after I sent them to him, he sent me back a recording of him playing the songs a few different ways so I could make the best choice. For the cocktail hour he asked about our favorite music and the type of vibe we wanted so he could mirror that. We got so many compliments from guests and loved working with him from beginning to end. Thank you for helping make our day so special Ryan!

Ryan was Awesome!

Ryan played my sister's wedding and he absolutely killed it! I was really nervous about hiring the right kind of music having never done it before, but Ryan went above and beyond to make sure he was a good fit and he made it really easy for me! I also gave him a few genres that would go over well with the guests and he delivered flawlessly. Ryan was worth every penny spent!
P.s. the Bridesmaids thought he was a handsome devil and won't shut up about him!

I fell in love with the guitar over 20 years ago and ever since have found my passion in entertaining others. I've played every type of wedding I could think of, and love to curate a custom feel to each event I play. In my free time, you'll probably find me writing, recording, or playing music anyways! When I'm not doing that, I love to travel! My favorite place I've ever been is Vietnam, a place where I was able to also enjoy my passion for the outdoors, food, and exploring different cultures.
