great choice, you will not regret

We couldn't have been happier with Ryan as our wedding DJ! From start to finish, he brought incredible energy and professionalism that truly made our day unforgettable. He read the crowd perfectly, seamlessly blending a mix of classics and modern hits that kept everyone—from our grandparents to our friends—on the dance floor all night.

Ryan was incredibly attentive to our music preferences and even managed to incorporate a few last-minute requests without missing a beat. His transitions were flawless, and he really knew how to build the excitement throughout the evening. Beyond just spinning tracks, he created a fun and lively atmosphere that had everyone smiling, laughing, and dancing.

Ryan was also a pleasure to work with in the planning stages. He was responsive, organized, and went out of his way to make sure our timeline ran smoothly. He even coordinated with our other vendors to ensure everything was perfectly timed.

If you're looking for a DJ who is talented, professional, and will bring the party to life, Ryan is your guy. We can’t thank him enough for being such an integral part of our special day. Highly, highly recommend!

Okay, this is serious! Ryan Hiller, with SoCal Wedding Music is amazing! Not your typical run of the mill version of amazing but the, wait, stop the press, you will be blown away, amazing. As a wedding planner I work with tons of DJs and musicians and Ryan is something special. How so much talent can be wrapped into one person is beyond me, but we absolutely love working with him. It takes a special kind of person to be a wedding DJ, because you have to be able to read the crowd, make changes at the client's whim, and leave your ego out. Ryan is fantastic at this, as well as building rapport clients. In addition, he is phenomenal musician! He is a beautiful singer/songwriter, but can also wonderfully cover almost any song. With hundreds of songs already in his repertoire,he is happy to learn new ones for you as an addition to your package. You can check out his skills online or at a live show before you book; which is a great bonus. If you are looking for a musician, a wedding DJ, or both; You can stop looking, you have found the one and only Ryan Hiller and SoCal Wedding Music!!
