Tired of the same wedding DJs regurgitating the same old party tunes at every wedding? Your day deserves a soundtrack that screams “you,” not some one-size-fits-all playlist. I’ll craft a bespoke DJ set loaded with your must-hear anthems - whether it’s Arctic Monkeys or My Chemical Romance - ensuring your party is a full-throttle celebration of who you are. I supply everything – awesome tunes, a big sound system & classy lighting - so you can focus on the fun. Requests? Bring ’em on. I can even spin a few tasteful wedding classics to keep the parents happy. I’m always reading the room and switching it up when needed. If your guests need a boost of energy, I’ll drop something with a sing-along chorus. If they’re already bouncing off the walls, I’ll keep that vibe going until the venue staff are begging us to pack up. I’ll DJ anywhere in the UK, be it a converted brewery or a stately countryside home. Let’s make your wedding a little less ordinary, and a lot more EXTRAordinary.

We booked Ryan for our wedding at Newton Hall and he was nothing short of amazing. The setup , with the lighting and the sound was high quality. Ryan kept the dance floor busy all night, and we and the guests loved him - so many people went out of their way to compliment him to us after the wedding! Having a good evening atmosphere was something we really wanted, and Ryan delivered that to the highest quality. He made it easy for us because we didn’t want to supply a playlist or anything like that - he took what we liked from our initial meeting and made it work on the night, even working requests in naturally at times that made sense. We would recommend Ryan to any couples wanting a lively and engaged night time for their wedding.

Ryan was our DJ for our wedding in July and what can I say! I honestly could not have hoped for more! He arrived very early and set up all of his equipment so he was ready when everyone started to enter for the reception, he also offered me some kind words to settle my nerves before our first dance. He took care of all the announcements throughout the evening and when we entered the dance floor for the first dance he got everyone to stand up around us and cheer which was so much fun. We gave him a few suggestions of our favourite tracks to work from and he delivered perfectly to our music tastes! People were up dancing all night and were really enjoying themselves. The best thing was that everyone kept on talking about how good the DJ was, he made everyone feel so relaxed and took care of everything so professionally. I would absolutely recommend Ryan for any wedding or event and if I ever have to organise another event myself, he will be the first person I contact. Thank you so much Ryan, you made our day one that we will never ever forget!

We got married in May and I was looking for a DJ who would play all the indie bangers we’d spent our relationship dancing to in our local nightclub. I asked Ryan and he assured me he could do this and was actually excited for it! He was great in the lead up to the wedding and made sure to get all of our requests etc in early. When a Ryan got to the venue he was set up very quickly and blended in to the venue. He played all the music we’d asked for and catered to the requests of our guests without straying from the bride and grooms desired playlist. Our dance floor was full all night and it was just banger after banger. We really didn’t want it to end when the venue closed!! Ryan also captured one of our favourite photos of the night of me and my husband on our friends shoulders dancing to ‘don’t look back in anger’ by Oasis. Thank you so much Ryan!

We got in touch with Ryan for our wedding after looking online at many different DJ options and deciding that he looked the most experienced, knowledgeable and best rated for the kind of vibe we wanted. Music was such a central part of our whole wedding day that we needed to make sure the evening party matched expectations, and Ryan absolutely understood the assignment! A couple of weeks before the wedding, we talked with him at length about the kind of style we wanted, but we also wanted him to be flexible and adapt if people were not dancing. Ryan also asked about a few things that had not even been on our radar, therefore we felt confident that he could do the job on the night. From the first dance to final exit, the dancefloor was never empty, and Ryan made sure that he responded to the crowd and only took on the requests from guests if the songs were in line with our desired aesthetic. He was also flexible with timings when we were running a bit behind schedule, and he announced things like the first dance and bouquet toss perfectly without ever drawing attention away from the bride and groom. Feedback from guests has been great too. I'd hire Ryan again in a heartbeat!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Ryan was awesome and played amazing music all night! Not only is he an amazing DJ he also kept our secret wedding a secret 🤐 Ryan was meticulous and thorough in the planning of the music and made sure we had music styles to suit our likes and dislikes! We went for the wedding package plus an hour which was extremely good value for money and even more so getting a DJ to play emo at our wedding! The set up and running was smooth and professional and a must for anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding. We can’t thank you enough Mr & Mrs King

Ryan has always had a great reputation among people we know so when we were arranging our wedding, Ryan was one of the first people we approached to be part of our big day - and did not disappoint. Ryan maintained constant contact leading up to the wedding to make sure that our needs were met and the day would be special for us. He worked around our plans for the day to make sure everything was set up and in place prior to the ceremony so that the wedding would not be interrupted and was ready to DJ as soon as we needed him. Ryan was completely professional and was, at times, more organised than we were! Since our wedding day several family and friends have told us the DJ was excellent, and we completely agree. We sent over an example list of songs to give an idea of the type of music we would like to have played and the theme was followed throughout the whole night. It was one of the only weddings I've attended where the dancefloor was always busy. We would both like to thank Ryan for being a big part of our special day and would highly recommend Ryan's services to anyone.

Ryan was the DJ for our wedding and he absolutely smashed it. We had a consultation call ahead of the day to work out the music we did and didn’t want and Ryan understood the assignment completely! He played all our requested tunes, expanded on the playlist perfectly with his own mix and kept the dancefloor full literally all evening. So many of our guests said how awesome the music and DJ was on the night! Cannot recommend highly enough and would definitely use again! Thanks Ryan!
