    Best party!

    Ryan is the best DJ! He did such a great job from start to finish. I initially saw him at my best friends wedding and when I got engaged I knew I wanted to hire him for my wedding. He is professional, responsive, and did a perfect job extrapolating from the songs I provided him for a great party. He is also excellent at MC'ing the evening and getting people where they need to be. I highly recommend Ryan!

    Really great DJ!

    Ryan was really great to work with! We were able to send him our playlists for each portion of the wedding and he took it from there. He had a very easy going vibe that made working with him very smooth. He also kept all the music to a normal volume, which we appreciated since we've been to wedding where the music is so loud you can't talk to anyone, but the volume was perfect. We would definitely recommend Ryan!

    Throws a heck of a party!

    After our wedding Ryan told us, "I had a fantastic time, you throw a heck of a party," but the reality is that he is the one that kept the party going all night long. We cannot say enough good things about Ryan. He was so collaborative leading up to the wedding and very go with the flow, and willing to listen to our crazy ideas. We had a few last minute changes that he adjusted to with ease. An outstanding example of his professionalism, was his offer to edit my dad and I's father daughter dance song for me. My dad and I tap danced together, and I wanted to shorten the song. I was going to edit the song myself, and he graciously offered to do the cut himself. Ryan was outstanding in so many ways, and our guests said the same thing. We wish we could relive the night over and over again.

    We loved DJ Ryan!

    Ryan was a pleasure to work with. When we hired him he gave us all the information we needed, and was happy to let us create our own wedding playlist. He made sure everything was in order, even on the wedding day. Ryan was very nice and very professional, and the wedding couldn't have been better!

    Fantastic experience

    DJ Ryan is a fantastic DJ, and a genuinely great person to have at your reception. He was incredibly flexible, which I am extremely grateful for, and made our wedding during the time of COVID feel joyful and light. I can't recommend him highly enough.

    Amazing DJ

    We loved Ryan as the DJ for our wedding. I can't count the number of guests that came up to us during the event or after and told us what an excellent DJ he was. We told him during our consult that we wanted "a really fun party with friends and family where we happen to get married" and wow, did he help us deliver. We had the dance floor open for hours and it was FULL the entire time with every age guest. His pre-wedding questionairre is wonderfully detailed and makes sure you've thought about all of the song aspects of the day (there were so many I had forgotten about). He used that information we gave to create the most "us" reception music for the dinner I could ever conceive. He was wonderful to work with and I can't wait to attend a wedding he DJs again!

    Ryan was the best!!! He had every one (even my grandmother!) dancing with his great dj skills and was the perfect emcee to keep the night running smoothly. So so thankful he stuck with us through Covid date changes. Thank you Ryan!!

    Exceeded All Expectations

    Ryan assumed our DJ/MC services in the waning hours of planning our wedding - our initial DJ dropped out just 3 weeks prior to the big day. I contacted Ryan, who took over with such high levels of professionalism, engagement, and detail-orientedness that put all of my worries (generated from our initial DJ's dropout) to rest.

    Ryan conducted our planning, wedding ceremony, and reception beautifully. My wife and I provided him with a simple and very general list of music styles that we were expecting to be played at our reception - Ryan used his expertise and experience, read the crowd, and played such a fun and engaging medley of music. We could not have asked for a better experience than the one he provided. This is also not to mention that Ryan conducts himself with autonomy and class - he communicated with us and our wedding coordinator early enough (despite the short time frame) that we were able to spend the day on us and not have to worry about details pertaining to organization and setup.

    We wholeheartedly would recommend Ryan for any event, especially any wedding.

    If we could rank Ryan higher than the maximum allowed in these reviews, we would!

    Dream Wedding DJ

    My husband and I recently got married in February 2021, and were so thoroughly impressed with the experience we had with Ryan! We originally learned about Ryan through friends who had invited him to DJ their wedding. We were guests at this event, and remember the reception being a total blast thanks to the outstanding music selection and energy that DJ Ryan exhibited. From our initial consultation with Ryan, we knew he would be an irreplaceable fit for our vendor team. It was evident that he truly enjoyed his work and the unique impact he could make on how each wedding would be remembered. He takes a very individualized approach to designing the perfect plan for each wedding, and is very gifted and comfortable in curating a music selection based on your wedding theme or general tastes as a couple. Since we did not have specific lists for song selections (except for parts of the ceremony), we discussed our ideal wedding vibe and gave Ryan the creative freedom to make our vision come to life. Due to COVID, we decided to have a dancing-free reception with our very intimate group of guests, and instead hosted a barcade reception where family groups could play vintage nintendo games on projectors, cornhole, classic tabletops games, etc. DJ Ryan created the PERFECT mix for our cocktail hour, dinner service, and reception. He incorporated some of our favorite music genres with lo-fi renditions of songs from our most loved games, and our friends were all blown away when they recognized some of their favorite themes in the playlist. Our wedding had such a magical feel thanks to Ryan, all while promoting a safe and distanced atmosphere to best follow COVID protocols. We would recommend his expertise with total confidence to any bride and groom!

    The Absolute BEST!!

    We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding - Ryan is seriously the BEST!! He was amazing to work with from his organization to communication to flexibility. He is extremely knowledgable and offered fantastic song suggestions, but was willing to play any and all song requests (even down to specific versions!). His personality is the perfect mix of professional meets positive and energetic to get (and keep!) the party going. He gave us the dance party of our dreams and all of our guests were raving! I honestly can't recommend DJ Ryan the DJ enough!

    Blew Us Away

    We were able to work with DJ Ryan the DJ off of our venue's recommendation and it is incredibly obvious why he came with such accolades.

    The dance floor was the most essential part of my wedding for me and DJ Ryan the DJ helped keep it packed and the energy high. He plays the BEST parts of every song and is able to blend songs from one to the next so that the party stays rolling without interruption.

    He is well educated and was able to make suggestions based on guidelines for our ceremony. He is professional - he made sure he could pronounce all the names in our wedding party and worked closely with our wedding planner when I called an audible in the middle of the reception to make a change to be able to open the dance floor sooner.

    Stop searching for your DJ and hire DJ Ryan the DJ. Hands down the vendor we got the most compliments on and one we will talk about for years to come.

    Amazing to work with!

    As a wedding photographer, I love working with Ryan!
    I know he is going to keep the party going and get everyone on the dance floor! Not only is he great at his job, but he's also super kind and easy to work with!
    If you want your night to be a blast and run smooth, hire Ryan!

    Best DJ out there

    I cannot say enough great things about Ryan. He was very professional and knowledgeable about his profession. Throughout the whole planning process he answered all my questions in a timely manner and was so organized. I really appreciated his planning packet that he provided. It helped us pick out all the songs for the ceremony and reception events as well as giving us an extensive music list to help with reception music. Many of our guests have made a point to reach out to me and tell me how much they enjoyed DJ Ryan the DJ and that he really knew how to keep the party going! I would highly recommend Ryan for your event!

    Thank you Ryan!

    Planning a wedding during Covid was tricky to say the least, but Ryan was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. He was so patient with our complicated Jewish music requests and our ever-changing timeline. On the day of, he was great at energizing the crowd and dealing with any last-minute changes and issues that came up. He really helped make it a wonderful event and it wouldn't have been nearly as fun and memorable without his help!

    Easiest decision we made

    DJ RYAN THE DJ!!!!! Everyone talks about their “easiest choice” for their wedding vendors. Let me tell you -- It. Is. Choosing. Ryan! Stop what you’re doing and hire him!

    He is so professional, responsive, and organized AND has a top-notch, energetic personality! Ryan went out of his way at every step of the process to keep us informed and happy. He made me feel like I was the most important person on his list from the moment we hired him. Whether you already know every song you want played or you have no idea where to start, he is your guy!

    He made our reception the ultimate party! We received so many compliments. Multiple people told us he was the best DJ they’ve ever seen! You will not regret having him in your life.

    Look no further for the best DJ in town!

    If you are looking for an incredible DJ for your wedding, look no further. DJ Ryan was great to work with from start to finish. My husband and I gave him a very particular music list to work with because we are such music buffs and Ryan executed the music perfectly. He and my day of coordinator said guests were coming up to him all night complimenting him on the music. When it came time to dance, he played every song we requested and the music flowed with perfection. We could not have had the night we had without Ryan. HIRE HIM!

    Best DJ around!!

    First Ryan is such a pleasure to work with! He made our reception dreams come true and really listened to what we wanted! I was able to give him a playlist of a lot of the songs I wanted to have played and it was so easy to work with him! He has a really fun and great attitude and made the night so wonderful! I don't think I left the dance floor for more than three songs! He also did a wonderful job on the ceremony music and I think his pricing is very good for the quality of service he provides. Thanks again Ryan :)

    Amazing Reception

    Ryan helped make our reception the best celebration. His mixing of songs and transitions kept people dancing, he allowed for requests and special moments between friends and family. With Ryan, he can recommend great music or let you build a playlist all your own. Can't recommend him enough for any wedding.

    DJ Ryan the DJ was AMAZING! If we could give him more than 5 stars we would. He was extremely responsive prior to wedding, friendly and kept the party going all night long. He was so great at introducing the whole party and keeping the transitions smooth. All our guests loved him as well. We couldn't recommend him more!

    Personalized Playlist

    DJ Ryan recently did a phenomenal job catering the evenings entertainment to fit the needs of me, my husband, and our wedding guests from ceremony to reception! He was very professional in his communication and whenever I had a special request or question during the planning stages, he was prompt in his responses and followed through. He was flexible when I wasn't sure what I would really need in the beginning of the booking stages for the day of and there was never a glitch. DJ Ryan made everything sound great, flow smoothly, transition well, and all who attended young and old had the chance to boogie the night away to a favorite tune thanks to him. We have received so much positive feedback regarding how great the music was and how much fun everyone had. Thank you!

    We love DJ Ryan the DJ

    We loved the fun atmosphere that DJ Ryan created at our wedding reception. DJ Ryan was the dj for my brother's wedding in May of 2019 as well as my wedding in December of 2020. I am still receiving compliments on the music selections and fun dancing that is due all to DJ Ryan. Ryan is quick to respond and always professional. Ryan helped us create the loving and fun reception that we had hoped for. He also ensured that our ceremony went smoothly by working with musicians, pastor, and live stream videographer. I would recommend DJ Ryan to anyone getting married in Raleigh in the surrounding areas (we got married at Highgrove Estate in Fuquay-Varina). I wish I could relive dancing all night at our wedding- thanks DJ Ryan!

    Amazing Music with a Personal Touch

    Ryan is just such an amazing DJ! The way he seamlessly blended music from different eras, and genres kept the party rolling throughout the night. It is clear he puts a lot of passion and effort into what he does to ensure that the celebration is even better than you could have hoped for.

    On top of that, he was extremely attentive to our ceremony. Throughout the night, he found ways to incorporate moments from our vows (which had some music lyrics) into what he played. That thoughtfulness alone would earn him high praise.

    We highly recommend him for any event, wedding related or otherwise.

    Best DJ There Is!

    My husband and I could not have been happier with hiring DJ Ryan the DJ for our wedding! Due to Covid, we went from having a large wedding to a very small micro wedding, and I was concerned that with such few guests, they wouldn't have as much fun - that was certainly not the case! Ryan played all the jams and everyone danced and had a blast. He was so helpful in accommodating all of our requests, including several song mash-ups and last-minute changes to our reception introduction. Not only is Ryan extremely talented, but he is also just an all-around great guy. Do yourself a favor and hire him for your wedding!

    Best DJ you could ever hire

    DJ Ryan is the absolute best. Even though we were navigating a delayed wedding through a pandemic he was always incredibly responsive and attentive. Always willing to meet with us or answer questions by email. He was the perfect balance of asking us tons of questions to make sure we were happy with how things turned out, but also super laid back and offered great suggestions for things we didn't care as much about helping to shape. Perfect for if you want to be super hands on, or super hands off, or somewhere in the middle. He helped us throw the best party ever! Everything went so smoothly thanks to him and the dance party was AMAZING! Everyone has been complimenting us on how great the DJ was and how fun it was overall!
