Acoustic and DJ-ing for backyard OSU grad party

Ryan communicated far enough in advance for us to select acoustics from his playlist and develop a DJ list. He was proactive by recommending how to split the acoustic and DJ parts and when he would need access to setup. We didn't have to do anything except agree and answer a few questions mainly about preference. This was appreciated because we'd never seen the backyard before at our AirBnB. He called days before to review and then just showed up and performed great. And he played everything we asked for - terrific attention to detail. He was punctual, fully set up and waiting for the start. He accommodated our ad hoc speech and group Jeopardy game. Ryan was the perfect touch to a great party and we'd definitely hire him again.

Ryan was fantastic!

Ryan was awesome! He saved us after our musician fell through three weeks before our wedding. He was happy to learn several new songs just for us, provided MANY options of songs he had already played/sang for us to add in as well. He was extremely accommodating of the very specific schedule we desired for our music (what to play when, when to stop certain songs, etc.). He showed up exactly when he said he would to our wedding, and was extremely respectful to us and our guests. He even gave a shout out to my wife and I before the last song to let everyone at the wedding know that it was “our song”, and that while his part would be done for the night, the reception would continue afterwards. We also very much enjoyed how he played and his voice! All around just a great experience and we’d be happy to have him again!

Great background music for Rehearsal Dinner!

Ryan was exceedingly easy to work with, responded quickly to emails and texts and tried hard to put together a repertoire we would like and enjoy. We liked having his PA system available for toasts and speeches too.
I would call on him again for future events!

Perfect evening-wife's 50th birthday party

Ryan was great. Excellent communications leading up to the event. Asked what songs we would like to have played. Even brought an e-z up tent. I highly recommend Ryan.

Wedding Guitarist/Singer

Ryan did a superb job playing acoustic guitar and singing three songs at our wedding ceremony.
He was professional. Communicated well, on time and very polished.

Fantastic addition to my wife's 30th surprise party!

Ryan was a hit at my wife's 30th birthday celebration. He brought his own auto equipment and microphone and his set up and tear down were a breeze- we did not have to do a thing! All of the guests and my wife commented how adding the live music to the evening really took the vibe up a notch. Ryan was great at communicating and would check in every so often prior to the event to see if I had any questions. He even provided a setlist to choose from and was able to learn a couple of songs that were not on his list that I knew my wife would enjoy. I would absolutely book Ryan again for an event in the future!

Great!

Ryan helped provide entertainment to our customers at an outdoor grilling event at our store. He had great communication leading up to the event, provided all of his own equipment, and was a pleasure to work with! Can't wait to work with him again in the future! Thanks, Ryan!
