    Ryan Smith review

    Ryan DJ’d our wedding in January and was SO attentive to our wishes. We are both pretty laid back and basically just laid out how we want the vibe to feel and he totally nailed it. We had SO MANY people tell us how great the music was. I have already recommended him to a couple other people!

    Excellent!

    Ryan is great! He was prompt to communicate with us throughout the whole planning process. He is extremely nice and great at his job. He took what we wanted the dance floor to look like and put it into action. Couldn’t recommend him enough! :)

    A great DJ to have for any event (high quality, low price)

    Ryan was an amazing DJ! Not only did he play my playlist well (mixed and varied genres), he was also a “day of coordinator”—he helped the wedding party line up, walk during the ceremony, entrances to the reception, and all the other main stuff during the reception! The lights and sound were great as well as transitions into different songs! He didn’t talk in between songs and only announced things that we discussed! Definitely recommend!

    Exactly what we hoped for!

    Ryan was super nice and very responsive. He listened to what we had to say and put all the songs we wanted on our list. He’s very accommodating and we worked really well together!

    Ryan is wonderful

    Ryan did a wonderful job with our vow renewal. He worked with us to identify what music we like and his playlist was perfect. Everybody had a great time.

    Great DJ for Wedding

    Ryan was super easy to work with and did an excellent job for our wedding and reception! He had worked at our venue before (The Bluestone) and charges by the event rather than a set number of hours. He helped us greatly in planning the timeline of our day and made sure the dance floor was never empty! He was able to blend our multicultural music perfectly so that everyone joined in the dancing. Would highly recommend!

    All great things!

    Even though we didn’t meet Ryan in person until the day of, he was always quick to respond to calls or emails leading up to the day and he definitely did not disappoint on the day of. He was ready to please our music wants and needs for the day and made sure we were all on track with the correct songs and artists so that our reception playlist would turn out as planned. His setup with lights and speakers in multiple rooms was absolutely perfect & we truly could not have asked for a better DJ.

    Incredible.

    Ryan is awesome. I’ve never hosted anything like this and had no idea what to expect from the DJ. When I tell you that this man saved our butts at this wedding I am not kidding. He was very familiar with the venue, he understood the assignment, and he outperformed his expectation. I would recommend him for truly any event. He was so supportive, helpful, thorough, and curious about us and kind; endlessly kind. Ryan, you are the best aroooound.

    Dance Floor Was Always Full

    I cannot refer enough people to Ryan. He was fantastic to work with, the quality of music and lights was awesome, and he did a great job of weaving together all the disparate elements of the event and walking is through how it all becomes one wedding. We have had several guests request the playlist he made for cocktail hour, and our dance floor was always full! Great job reading the crowd.

    Ryan was the perfect DJ

    Ryan was the best DJ that we could have hoped for. His experience made it easy for use to not only select the music we wanted, but also helped immensely when it came to the schedule for the day and keeping the whole wedding on track. Super professional and above all else, kind and easy to work with.

    Perfect Professional DJ!

    We could not have asked for a better DJ than Ryan! We knew after our first meeting with him that he was the perfect vendor for our wedding: extremely knowledgeable, reassuring, and invested in making our wedding exactly what we wanted. He was immediately responsive to every request we made and gave us great advice (timelines, setting the right tone, how to prep our bridal party, etc.). He even cleaned up the audio for our homemade first dance medley and sent us several versions until it sounded perfect! During the wedding, he kept everything moving and everyone having a great time. He listened to all of our requests, including making sure there were a few slow dances. He even got up on a chair to instruct our somewhat raucous bridal party on how to enter! We are so glad we went with him; he made the evening stress-free and a blast!

    Ryan Smith: The Best DJ!

    Without Ryan as our DJ for our wedding, I don't think our wedding would have been the same. He nailed it; every, single detail. We had a pre-wedding meeting with Ryan to level-set on what we wanted and what we did not want. After this meeting, we knew we picked the right DJ. He has more experience doing weddings in Columbus than anybody we could find. During our reception, he even went up to my wife and apologized for playing a certain song when she stepped away to use the restroom! She was not upset at all, but the attention to detail was out of this world! My sister is getting married this year and has already booked him for her wedding. Look no further, Ryan Smith should be your DJ for your wedding (if he is not already booked!)

    Best wedding dj

    Ryan was so easy to work with! He knew exactly how to keep the party going all night. He was responsive, helpful, and such a joy to have be a part of our day. I would recommend him to anyone hosting an event!

    Always put us first!

    Ryan was an awesome DJ for our wedding! Music was one of the most important things to me (the bride) and some of my ideas were super specific and a little corky! Ryan always offered his professional opinion and expertise but overall always made it VERY clear that the day was about me and my fiancé and what we wanted. He was always willing to take my call/text when I had questions and he was a pleasure to work with! He did everything we asked and more :)

    Pandemic Wedding

    We had to postpone due to the Pandemic, and Ryan was so quick to give us new dates and help us pick a better time to have the event. He was very professional and made sure we stayed on schedule for the ceremony and reception. The music was great! We definitely recommend Ryan to anyone that’s got an event coming up.

    Such a great DJ!

    I was very happy with choosing Ryan Smith! I had a list of songs from different Genres and he was able to create a really great play list with them and even add in his own suggestions. My wedding guests danced all night and we got many compliments on the DJ!

    Professional and Fun

    My husband Kevin and I contracted Ryan to DJ for our wedding reception. Ryan was very professional from the very beginning, explaining what he would need from us and the venue. Based on the playlist we provided and what we discussed, he created a great set for both the reception and dance portion of the evening. People were tearing up the dance floor. It was a truly special night.

    Super easy to work with

    Ryan was awesome to work with, and rolled with the punches when rain interrupted our outdoor ceremony.

    He really listened to our song requests, and offered great recommendations. He also mixed together a very special song for the father-daughter dance.

    One of the easiest and best decisions we made.

    Wedding and Reception DJ

    Ryan is great! He was very flexible in making our day special. He made the process of wedding planning easier for us and was excellent in keeping us on time during our reception. I would recommend him to anyone looking to book a DJ. Very professional and you won’t be disappointed.

    Incredible experience!

    We cannot express enough what a great experience we had working with Ryan! We felt like he understood our musical taste from the first meeting (a little traditional, a little quirky) and, perhaps more importantly, he had a strong understanding of what our venue required to ensure flawless sound/service upstairs for our ceremony and dinner as well as downstairs for cocktail hour and reception...with back up plans in the event something goes awry. He knew whether or not we needed mics and when and, as a self-proclaimed control freak, we did not have to worry about a single thing related to MC service and music the entire evening. He was undetectable most of the time but was right there with us the few times we needed him for something. He even went along with some of our antics as the night went on! Can't say enough...great hire. You will not be disappointed!!! (Conga line and bunny head costumes in pictures were our choice not DJ forced HA!)

    Ryan did an AMAZING job! He was incredibly quick to respond to any question I had and put extra time and effort into making the perfect playlist for each portion of our wedding. I have received countless compliments from friends and family on how well our wedding went and I owe a lot of that to Ryan. His mix of music was PERFECT and he did an incredible job! He kept everyone dancing and excited, I really can't stress enough how great he was.

    He was very flexible and really worked to create a memorable experience for my husband and me. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

    Amazing DJ!!

    If you are looking for a DJ to play at your wedding, just stop what you’re doing and call Ryan Smith! When it came to what was most important in our wedding, finding a good DJ was at the top of our list. We had multiple friends and family members ask that night, “Where did you find your DJ? He was amazing.” And they were right. Ryan did a great job keeping people on the dance floor and reading the room; we had dancing for about 3 hours, and it was never empty thanks to Ryan. He respected the no-play list as well as our recommendations and timed everything perfectly. He even helped me pull off a surprise performance from our colleges marching band right in the middle of the reception. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t think I would have been able to pull it off!

    Overall, Ryan is a true professional and we are so happy we picked him to DJ our wedding. We will most definitely consider him for future events and we’ve already shared his contact information with other couples who are getting married next year.
