  Made our wedding into something magical

  Ryan performed during our wedding ceremony at the Denver Botanic Gardens and I will never be able to say enough about how truly talented he is and how wonderful he was to work with! Ryan learned two new songs for our wedding day, one being a slowed-down version of You've Got a Friend in Me that he put his twist on that I walked down the aisle to as a surprise to my husband in honor of his late mother who loved the Toy Story movies and it was just the most beautiful thing that the two of us will cherish forever. On top of all the millions of other compliments I could give Ryan's talent and professionalism, I also want to say that he set the cadence for our entire wedding ceremony. We did not have a coordinator or wedding party and I walked myself down the aisle, so I was worried about timing and knowing the right cues to start the ceremony, have our ring bearer walk down the aisle, and to start walking down the aisle myself, so I emailed Ryan some of my ideas about songs and ceremony timing and he knocked it out of the park. He kicked us off on time, set the perfect tone for everything, and then even played out our pastor instrumentally during a final prayer and picked up with the vocals after we were announced husband and wife. It was absolutely perfect and magical and we couldn't have asked for anything better!
  
  We loved every little detail of our wedding day, but I really think that the music will be the way we're able to forever connect back to those memories so vividly, which we are so incredibly thankful for.

  The Best Wedding Guitarist - Highly Recommend!

  My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Ryan! He played guitar and provided vocals for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and first dance - He did an incredible job. He was great at communication and worked with us as we navigated song choice. He handled the timing and coordination of the music in our ceremony with ease! Since our wedding we have heard from many of our guests that Ryan was one of the best parts of the day. We would recommend him over and over for any big, medium or small event. Thank you Ryan!

  Thank you Lauren! I had a great time performing at your beautiful wedding. I especially enjoyed being a part of your first dance, and I now play that song all the time at shows! Best of luck in everything to you and your husband and thank you again for choosing to work with me on your wedding date.

  Talented, kind and professional!

  Ryan was so easy to work with, kind, communicative, professional and obviously extremely talented. My fiancé and I had requested songs that weren't on his cover list and he learned them, no problem. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about him! I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to add a live acoustic artist to their special day (or any event)!

  One of the best parts of our wedding day!

  We absolutely loved working with Ryan and would recommend working with him to anyone. Ryan played at our wedding ceremony in June 2022 and his music undoubtedly made the day much more meaningful and special. He is an incredibly talented artist and his music at our ceremony truly set the tone for the day. Beyond his musical talents, Ryan was simply an exceptional person to work with. He was always prompt, responsive, kind, and organized, making it a breeze to work with him. He went above and beyond to learn one of our favorite songs, Three Rounds and a Sound by Blind Pilot, for our wedding day, and him doing so led to a really lovely, impromptu moment for a first dance of sorts at our otherwise elopement style wedding. In other words, his music led to one of our favorite moments of the day that we definitely wouldn't have had otherwise and we're so grateful we chose to have him there for the day. Ryan's timing was impeccable, all of our guests raved about his music/talent, and he truly helped to set the ambiance for our ceremony. We highly recommend Ryan and can't wait to keep listening to his music in the future!

  Perfect addition to our rustic outdoor wedding!

  Ryan was wonderful to work with for our outdoor fall wedding at Camp Hale. We had an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour that we wanted acoustic music for. We wanted a rustic summer-camp feel that complemented the natural beauty of the venue and Ryan was the perfect touch to bringing this dream to life. His catalogue of songs was quite long so we felt like we had a great selection of music to choose from when planning the day. He was also willing to learn a new song that we had specially requested for the bridal processional. Ryan’s music was beautiful and set the perfect ambiance for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was super enjoyable to work with throughout the whole process. We would recommend Ryan for anyone planning an event and we are looking forward to going to his concerts in the future!

  Hey Callie,
  Thanks for the kind words! You had a beautiful wedding and it was a perfect evening at Camp Hale to close out the Summer. I'm glad you and your guests enjoyed the music, and I hope to see y'all at a show sometime!
  Thanks,
  Ryan

  Saved the day!

  We booked Ryan for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He has been awesome to work with since the beginning. He's organized and professional. We had a phone call where he got to know our style and sent us a song list to review, and then he handled the rest! His original music is so good that I used a couple of his songs in my ceremony. All my guests loved his music too. Even the venue loved him and wants to book him for future events! The day of the ceremony, our officiant's wireless mic wasn't working. Ryan stepped in and let us borrow his microphone. Saved the day! Doesn't hurt that he is attractive and well dressed too :-) I would absolutely book him again. Thank you Ryan for making our day special!

  The best wedding musician on the front range!

  Ryan was incredible to work with! I look forward to working with him again! We hired Ryan to play at our wedding, and despite having to replan our wedding multiple times due to COVID, Ryan was so communicative, planned, and accommodating the entire time! He played our song while I walked down the "aisle" in the Winter Park mountains, and it couldn't have been more perfect. We had so many of our guests ask us about his music and who he was because it was simply outstanding and created the perfect environment for our wedding and reception. Ryan, thank you so much for making our day perfect! Truly. It was everything I imagined it would be!

  Excellent Choice for Guitarist/Vocals

  Ryan was the guitarist and vocalist at our September 2019 wedding. He delivered just what I was looking for! Planning a wedding at an out of state venue can be stressful. As a middle age couple getting married we didn't want a big commotion, just peaceful background guitar and vocals to enhance the beautiful outdoor garden venue. The music totally set the mood for us. Thank you Ryan for being part of our celebration of love and family!

  Very professional, great music

  During my review, I was very impressed when I listened to his music online. Ryan Hutchens was excellent in person. Both his original music and the covers were performed wonderfully. He’s also an amazing guitarist.

  The Right Atmospher

  Anna and I looked around for a while before we heard Ryan playing in a restaurant (pre-covid). Then it was game over. His originals and covers are incredible. He accommodates specifically to what we wanted. He's able to take your breath away with his playing or be the lovely background music you need. Hands down best vendor experience and overall sound. Do yourself the favor and make your day magical with Ryan

  Couldn’t ask for more

  Ryan was hired to play at our Breckenridge elopement in October 2020. There was a wedding mishap with the start time of our ceremony, and he played 30+ minutes extra to entertain our guests that were watching via livestream while we waited. We received SO many compliments about Ryan from our friends and family watching back home. He was professional, very flexible, and sounded amazing. We could not have asked for more. Thank you, Ryan!

  excellent!

  Ryan had a wonderful way of making the songs the couple asked him to sing, very personal to them. He was able to suggest and arrange music that made the ceremony flow seamlessly and stress free. Would highly recommend.
