Absolutely amazing- hire Ryan!

We decided to hire Ryan for our wedding and 100% worth it! He played the whole time while all our guests showed up for the ceremony! He also learned three different songs that my husband and I chose that were special for us- they played when the bridal party walked out, when my father and I walked out and after my husband and I finally tied the knot! He went completely up and beyond for my husband and I! The fact that he was open to learning all new songs to make sure our wedding and time with our closest friends and family was perfect meant so much!
He was super responsive and easy to work with. Along with that, he also showed up to the rehearsal to go through the timeline, which was amazing! He got SO many compliments from guests throughout the whole night! I highly recommend working with Ryan for your special day!

Tapestry House Wedding

Ryan was excellent. Although we could only hear him while we were taking our photos, we could tell he was a professional. His guitar playing skills are impressive and it really brought our cocktail hour to life.

Extremely talented musician

We asked Ryan to turn an EDM song into an acoustic ballad to walk down the aisle to and have our first dance. The song came out better than I could’ve imagined. Ryan is very professional and prompt and made out wedding day vision a reality.

Absolutely recommend

I cannot say enough good things about Ryan. My wife and I got married in Lyons, CO last summer, and decided to hire Ryan after hearing his samples. 100% the right decision. His guitar playing was gorgeous, and he had great range and versatility in terms of what styles and songs he was able to play. Both his cover arrangements and his own personal compositions were fantastic. We even gave him two rather last minute song requests, and he not only learned them, but wrote his own arrangements, which were superb. On top of this, he was professional, warm, classy, and his rates were reasonable. We had multiple guests come up to us afterward and compliment Ryan. If you're looking for an acoustic guitarist for your wedding, I'd 10/10 recommend him.

Wonderful mountain chic ambience!

Ryan was an INCREDIBLE addition to our welcome party! He was so easy to work with and provided wonderful ambience. He was punctual, professional, and flexible. He assisted us with sound for speeches mid-event as well and made sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone commented on what a nice addition his sound was to our special day. I would highly recommend him for your event!

Wedding ceremony music

We had Ryan play when guests arrived and during the ceremony. He did a great job and has a huge selection of music to choose from. He also worked with us on price.

Glad we found him!

We had an adventure elopement in Colorado. This unconventional approach meant that we needed a musician who could meet us at an Airbnb in the middle of nowhere, then drive 30 minutes with us to the mountains to take some pictures, and then drive another 30 minutes and hike with us to the location where we would read our vows.
Ryan was willing to take on that challenge. His music was an important part of our special day.

Ryan is one of the most talented guitarist we’ve ever met. He added a special touch to our wedding. His flexibility and professionalism was beyond compare. Ryan even learned our favorite song to play just for us! His music elevated our ceremony to a higher level.

Amazing guitarist & easy to work with!

We hired Ryan to play acoustic guitar as guests arrived to our ceremony and as I walked down the aisle. Leading up to the wedding, Ryan was super communicative and easy to work with. He had to learn the song I walked down the aisle to. Once he learned it, he sent me a video and it was even better than I expected! On the wedding day everything went super smooth and he sounded great! I highly recommend Ryan as a wedding musician.
