February 24, 2026I recently booked Ryan to play at our son's Welcome Party for his wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch. After researching musicians, I found Ryan and loved his music, as did my son and future DIL. Ryan was a pleasure to work with. He stayed in touch before the wedding and asked if there were any particular songs that we wanted him to play. My son and his fiancé sent him what they wanted...and Ryan delivered! Ryan set up well before the party started and played the entire time, both during cocktails and dinner. Everyone commented on his music and talent. The party to kick-off our son's wedding was everything we hoped for and much of that was due to Ryan! We could not have been happier!

Hi Linda,
I appreciate this wonderful review, and I'm so happy we got connected for your son's welcome party. It is a special thing for me to be involved in people's wedding weekends, and especially to be able to do it in such a magnificent and unique setting. You and your guests were great to play for, and I hope the rest of the wedding went great!
Thank you,
Ryan

January 23, 2024We had been looking for a solo act for our wedding and came across Ryan, and we are sure glad we did. Ryan did an amazing job entertaining before the start of the ceremony, during the ceremony for walking down the aisle, and all night at the reception. He crushed his already extensive setlist and had no problems learning a few of the songs that meant the most to us and honestly, his versions of some of the songs are our favorites. Ryan, thank you so much for being a part of our day.
