    The perfect touches

    Thank you for bringing our daughter’s wedding vision to life with all the special touches. Your gorgeous lighting and decor transformed the clear white tent and the outdoor spaces, overlooking the water into an elegant venue, more beautiful than we could ever imagine. We are so thankful for your team and their services.

    Perfect wedding lighting

    Ryan Designs helped us with lighting for an outdoor tent wedding and some bistro lighting over a patio. They were super helpful in discussing what options might work out the best to create the beach vibe with emphasis on the dance floor through the rattan lighting features and spacing of the tent lighting. Great advice and execution at the event. Strong communication. Would highly recommend.

    Great reputation! Easy to work with

    Ryan Designs was easy to communicate and work with, they added a beautiful touch to our wedding day which included lighting and draping at the Spring House. Their team seamlessly traveled to and from Block island to compete their work making life easy on us planning the big day. They are dependable and professional, I’d recommend them to anyone!

    Amazing experience with Ryan Designs!

    Working with Ryan Designs was an absolute dream from the very first day I reached out to the day of our wedding! Their professionalism, excellent communication, and stunning portfolio were all key factors in my decision to hire them for our Newport wedding. They completely transformed a beautiful ballroom into an even more breathtaking space. The lighting truly brought our vision to life, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a vendor who listens to your needs and exceeds expectations, we highly recommend Ryan Designs. They made our big day even more magical!

    Easy and Beautiful Design!

    Ryan Designs did the lighting for our Cape Cod wedding in September! We worked with the couple getting married the night before to keep the same lights as they planned so we didn't do too much in-depth correspondence with Ryan Designs, but the conversations we did have were prompt, easy, and very pleasant. The lights looked beautiful and were a major focal point of the design. Would definitely recommend!

    wonderful custom work for us!

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience hiring Ryan Designs for our wedding - they provided lighting, custom rigging for floral installations, draping, and a custom bar with a monogram logo from our invitation suite. They were so easy to work with (shout out Lisa!) and the set up crew that came was super nice and did such a great job. Everything looked beautiful!

    No one better

    Ryan Designs has worked with me in multiple corporate events ranging from 300-500 people. Kristen, one of the owners is the most lovely person I’ve ever worked with and has such an eye to help you put together your dream event. The whole team is professional and insanely talented and will be sure to make your vision come to life!

    Amazing experience!

    We booked ryan designs for our big day at sweet berry farm. The team was recommended by our venue and I can see why! I reached out over email and they were super responsive. It was seamless to book and they coordinated directly with the venue on the dropoff/pickoff time. The lights looked absolutely amazing and gave us the energy we were looking for during the reception!

    Perfection!

    Truly a pleasure to work with. RD is so responsive and listened carefully to my ideas of how I wanted our rattan lanterns and bistro lights to hang. The venue looked so stunning with their lights, and they communicated with our venue, so I didn’t have to be in the middle! I would highly recommend them!

    Their minds

    We got married at Castle Hill Inn, and working with Ryan Designs was part of the package. I would not have changed a thing! They were amazing -- even when my mom and I were getting into weird little spats about pin lights versus twinkle lights, they somehow made both of us feel like sane people with reasonable demands. I would like to live in their warehouse.

    Magical Tent Decor

    Ryan Designs created a magical tent for our wedding. I remember looking up during our first dance and taking in the beautiful chandeliers and lights for the first time and being just so happy. All of the elements were perfect and more than I could have imagined. Christen was fun to work with during the planning process and was available in person and by phone to help answer any questions I had.

    Dazzling Lights by Ryan-Designs

    Ryan Designs worked to ensure that our picturesque venue at Satlwater Farm Vineyard would be highlighted perfectly by their twinkle lighting setup. They were highly responsive, worked with us and other weddings that weekend to reduce cost, and delivered on their promise of lighting our space wonderfully.

    Great Service + Beautiful Lights!

    We used Ryan Designs to add a little flair to our tent. We had seen a tent set up at our venue with bistro lights and it looked SO beautiful. I am so happy we added them, really brought the tent to life!

    Lighting was beautiful

    We got married at Saltwater Farm Vineyard on a Sunday, and there had been a wedding on Friday and Saturday. Ryan Designs was already putting lights up for both other weddings, so we contacted them about using the same lights for our wedding as well. The garden lights that they hung in the rafters for the wedding were beautiful, and they made the space look so much warmer and more inviting.
    The team was incredibly easy to work with, and made lighting one of the easiest parts of our wedding!

    Ashley elevated my venue beyond my expectations

    Ashley at Ryan Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with it. She really saw my vision and executed perfectly. She was mindful of my budget, responsive, and worked extremely well with my other vendors. She truly worked to make sure all of my details came together and she ensured that my venue/tent looked gorgeous. Everything was absolutely magical! After seeing it all come together, her suggestions were necessary and really added to my original vision. Thank you, Ashley!

    Lighting absolutely made my tent wedding

    I had been following ryan design RI on instagram since the day I booked my venue, but I did not want to spend another dollar and debated debated and didnt book for months. 2 weeks before my wedding, I finally decided to pull the trigger on ryan design RI. They made it happen despite such short notice. Boy am I happy I did. The lights in my tent absolutely made the wedding- they were STUNNING! Ryan design totally nails it every time. Worth every penny.

    Magical Lighting!

    Ryan Designs did an amazing job with the lighting and draping in our tent for our wedding reception! The tent looked so magical and exactly like the inspiration photos I sent the team. I could not stop staring at the twinkle lights all night! Thank you so much!

    Highly Recommend!

    Ryan Designs made our dream wedding come true. They were our first stop on our wedding planning journey and from day one they completely outdid them selves. Katie was a dream to work with and knew exactly our wedding vision. She helped us through every step of the process and gave us a multitude of options to fit within our price range. From the hanging lanterns in the trees, to the drift wood bars, the the gorgeous beaded chandeliers and bistro lights, to coordinating with all of our other vendors our dream was able to come to reality. Only positive things to say about Ryan Designs and I hope we get the opportunity to work with them one day again in the future. Thank you!

    My husband and I hired Ryan Designs for our wedding on 10/6/18. We worked with Katie who ensured that every detail was perfect. I sent Katie pictures of our venue but she also went above and beyond by making a site visit to get more information. We held our reception in a historic barn and the Ryan Designs team added decor that highlighted the natural beauty of the property. We added drapery, lights in the barn, and hanging chandeliers from a large oak tree outside the barn. Katie also worked with me to create a rain plan if necessary. I highly recommend this talented and professional team!

    Christen and her team did such an amazing job with our wedding! They perfectly executed our rather unique and elaborate requests and we could not be happier with the results. The Ryan Designs team was extremely easy to work with and very responsive, and integrated seamlessly with our florist (Hana Floral). They were by far one of our favorite vendors! Thank you, Ryan Designs!

    Christen and her team did the lighting for my wedding. I can say with confidence that it was the most magical lighting I have EVER seen. I had a pretty distinct vision of what I wanted - twinkly stars in the night sky. Christen hadn't done an installation like this before, and she truly knocked it out of the park. I couldn't stop staring at it all night, and got tons of compliments from my guests! She created the most magical, warm atmosphere. As a bonus, she was a delight to work with. Do not hesitate!

    Ryan designs took our backyard wedding to the next level! We contacted them with our requests (albeit last minute AND a surprise for the Bride) and they were very flexible and extremely professional! The bride was blown away by what they did with the tent swag and lighting...really took our big day to levels beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Ryan Designs for any of your design needs. Thank you!

    We had our wedding at a nontraditional venue that had a large wooden pavilion that was not symmetrical. Eric Ryan came out to see it, said no problem, and left. On our wedding day, he turned our pavilion into a magical place. We wanted colorful lanterns and some twinkle lights. It was absolutely perfect and it completely transformed the pavilion. Absolutely worth the money!!

    My experience with Ryan Design was fantastic. The company provided specialty Edison Bulb lighting suspended over our row of head tables for our June 11, 2016 wedding at the Lace Factory. Erik was extremely responsive and professional, the process was seamless, and the lights looked incredible! I received so many comments from guests about the lights. Not only did the Edison bulbs create the most beautiful ambient light, but they also gave our wedding reception space a true "wow" factor. Thank you for bringing our vision to life!!

    We just used Ryan Designs for our wedding in June, at The Lace Factory in CT, and they were amazing to work with.. super responsive, professional, and specific!! I had a vision of what I was looking for, with a specific budget, to really make our venue stand out, feel romantic, and like "us" and they were able to create that vision flawlessly! We used their fabric swags, unique chandeliers, and bistro lighting and all of our guests commented on how beautiful and magical everything was. Thank you SO much Christen, Erik and Michele for being a part of our night!

    We got beautiful white lanterns from Ryan Designs. They were super professional & responsive, and we love how the lighting turned out. It was one of our easiest vendors, where we made the arrangements, confirmed the week of and then walked into the venue to see beautiful lanterns. Easy to arrange & really stunning -- multiple guests commented on how great they looked!

    Loved the rice paper lanterns (with lights inside) we used through Ryan Designs. We had lanterns of different sizes, and at varying heights. Both Erik and Kristen were great to work with and coordinate through. The team that set up the lanterns was friendly too. The end product looked joyful, fun, and provided a layer of light and texture at night. Loved it, they were great. Highly recommend using them.

    Ryan Designs did a wonderful job with the lighting for our tent. All I wanted was simple bistro lights strung from the center polls to brighten up the tent, but all of the lighting vendors that I reached out to were exorbitantly expensive. Ryan Designs provided by far the most reasonable price, and the quality of service certainly was not sacrificed! The bistro lights were the perfect touch to our tent, and Eric and Christen were very pleasant to work with throughout the process. Thank you, Ryan Designs!

    They Ryans created the most beautiful tent for our wedding! They were so easy to work with, their services and prices were so transparent and clear, and the final product for our tent decor was so incredible. We hired them to put up a central crystal chandelier, string lights, and center pole covers. We had a tight budget for decor and they were very understanding and really did a lot with it. (I had started working with someone else before finding the Ryans and the other provider's services had lots of hidden costs and they kept trying to up-sell, whereas the Ryans respected our budget). Christen came the day before to make sure everything was all set and they took care of everything Saturday while I was getting ready without any need for direction. They did their thing, and it did it so well!! The tent was so gorgeous!! I was just blown away! Highly recommended!!!

    Ryan Designs did an amazing job for our wedding. They happily walked us through many ideas and dealt with a lot of mind changing. In the end, our tent came out amazing and was more than we could have asked for. Erik and Christen were amazing and so so helpful, even taking last minute requests in the weeks leading up to the wedding. They know Block Island very well and all of the intricacies involved in hosting a wedding there. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Ryan designs provided lighting and decor for the tent at our Blithewold wedding. When I first stepped into the tent I was blown away - they did an absolutely amazing job transforming a drab, boring tent, into an elegant, beautiful, and warm space. One of the staff members at Blithewold even commented that they'd never seen the tent look so pretty. Erik & Christen were so easy to work with, and really listened to our vision and paid attention to detail. We especially loved the custom bar with sequin panels they created for us! Ryan Designs is truly talented and I cannot recommend them enough!

    I asked for WOW on a budget and Erik and Christen performed magic. I wish I could properly express what I felt when I first stepped onto the tented patio at Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park. It was all that I had hoped for and more for my daughter's wedding. It was dreamy and magical and fanciful...it was my daughter! Thank you, Erik and Christen, for capturing it all and putting it under one tent. It was beautiful!

    We used Ryan Designs for lighting at our wedding. The custom chandeliers that Erik and Christen designed and provided were the decor touch that made our wedding truly spectacular. Not only did they make custom damask lampshades to encircle the chandeliers, but they actually let us choose the specific type/shape of crystals. It was incredible to watch their team assembling the chandeliers crystal-by-crystal the morning of the wedding. Erik and Christen were easy to work with and we would absolutely recommend them to others.

    Ryan Designs was a pleasure to work with. They did the rice paper lanterns in my tent at my wedding on 10/7/12 at Eolia Mansion in Harkness State Park in Waterford, CT. The lanterns were stunning. They did such a fabulous job with set-up. I received so many compliments on the lanterns that I hope some of the future brides in my family will remember them! Christen was so friendly and responsive. I'd highly recommend their services to anyone interested in them.

    Ryan Designs provided lounge furniture set-ups and tiki-torches for our June wedding on Cape Cod and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! Our venue was relatively unique with a spread out space on the beach in a tent and on a deck for the cocktail house and reception and Erik and Christen set up two cosy lounge set-ups (one on the deck and one in the sand) with beautifully colored pillows and end tables that complemented our wedding vision exactly! From the initial contracting process, to the final details and delivery/set-up the day of the wedding, Erik and Christen were responsive, patient and professional. The costs of the services were very reasonable compared to other furniture rental companies we evaluated and we really like the special touches that Ryan Designs were able to provide, they really went above and beyond to make our event perfect! Although our wedding was probably less complicated and lower budget than some other events they might contribute to, Erik and Christen were such a fantastic addition to our day! After the wedding, my new husband and I enjoyed the lounge couches to just relax and decompress after the day -- the perfect spot to admire the beach and the tent together after the celebrations! I'd definitely recommend Ryan Designs to any other bride and groom looking for specialty services!

    this review is far overdue. christen and erik ryan are incredible! first of all, they donated their time and talent to a giveaway that my husband and i won. but they didn't just call it in, they went above and beyond adding all the important design and decor elements to make our wedding truly special. from the chandeliers, to the lounge furniture, the custom pillows our beautiful wedding tree and of course all of the ga ga gorgeous mercury glass, they did it all. but more importantly, is how kind they are! seriously, they are both so nice and sweet and just wonderful. words will never be enough to thank them for everything that they did. ryan design will always be our icing on the cake, it wouldn't have been the same wedding without them!!! thank you C + E !!!

    Erik and Christen Ryan of Ryan Designs truly can help you turn your vision into a beautiful reality. They have an incredible set of skills in lighting design, carpentry, sewing...you name it...to transform a space.

    We were married on an island in Boston Harbor. The venue was pretty spread out, including long pathways between the ceremony and reception sites, and separate (but adjacent) dining and dancing tents that required a fair amount of TLC to make them look elegant. Ryan Designs went above and beyond the call of duty to bring out the best in our fabulous, but somewhat rustic island venue.

    They created some amazing lantern chandeliers (born out of a late afternoon whiteboard brainstorm and ooohed and ahhhed over by our guests and other vendors), inviting lounge vignettes for our dance tent (complete with beautiful custom pillows and driftwood tables), shabby-chic signage to point guests in the right direction (to the dock, the washrooms, reception, etc.)... I'm convinced that there is not much the Ryans can't do.

    Thank you, Ryans, for your great work!

    Among other things, Christen and Erik Ryan gave us a simply spectacular reception space with custom lounge furniture, custom table runners with matching pillows in the lounges, and uplighting around the room. They elegantly covered the areas of the reception hall I didn't care for, and really created a wonderful atmosphere for our celebration. They are kind, generous people that were very easy to work with and went out of their way to make sure we were happy with their work. I was thrilled with everything they did for our wedding and would highly reccomend their services for any bride!

    Ryan Designs decorated our reception tent with fabric swags and twinkle lights. They did a beautiful job and it was exactly what we were looking for! They were easy to work with and very responsive. I would definitely recommend! Thank you!

    Gorgeous Lighting!

    We used Ryan Designs for both our bistro lighting inside our tent and the drapery entrances into the tent for our wedding day. They did an amazing job and everything looked absolutely beautiful. While planning, they were responsive and easy to work with. Thank you!

    I rented chinese lanterns from Ryan Designs and they totally transformed my decor! They were absolutely stunning! Ryan Designs had great recommendations on colors and shapes. I couldn't imagine my venue without the added decor! My only complaint is how expensive they are if you have a small wedding budget!

    Lovely work and very flexible

    Ryan Designs was lovely to work with! They were super responsive and tried very hard to work with our budget. The downfall is they are on the pricier side, but they made sure to work with me and what I budgeted. They even through in free drapings for our tent to get us closer to our vision for our money. The decorations were beautiful and they set up very quickly!

    Beautiful decorations, from the fabric-draped ceiling to the crystal chandeliers. Everything was set-up nicely and looked lovely. Our only complaint was the "twinkle lights" never came on. :( Thank you Ryan Design for making our daughter's day memorable.

    Ryan Designs did amazing work for our wedding with both lighting and furniture design! They specially created drift wood tables to match the look we had requested. The lounge vignettes they designed were amazing - exactly what we had hoped for - and the lighting was equally impressive! The only snag at all was it was a bit difficult to lock in a contract with them: emails and phone calls took a while to be returned during their busy season. That said, Erik and Christen were real pleasures to work with and were apologetic for any delays in communication. I would absolutely recommend Ryan Designs!

    Ryan Designs made our tent magical. It was truly beautiful. I had a great experience working with them up until a week before the wedding. They had a super busy season and it was often difficult to get a real sit down "check in" type of meeting. That would have been beneficial. We had a little episode of miscommunication and there was a little bit of frustrations/arguments on both sides, but they came through and resolved it. We had a large tent with full drapes, twinkle lights, and side panels. We also rented some staged furniture, did some bistro lights, floating candles, and paper luminaries. It was gorgeous. Our wedding day wouldn't have been as amazing without Ryan Designs. It was expensive, but worth the money.
