Ryan was wonderful to work with! He made it all so easy and our wedding was flawless! He is so talented and I'm very glad we went with Gorge Music. Thank you!
Ryan was fantastic, great with communication, flexible, extremely helpful with suggesting ideas. Everyone especially loved the live music! Would highly recommend.
We are so grateful Ryan was our DJ and live musician for our wedding!! He is so friendly and down to earth, open to ideas and last minute changes I ended up sharing with him (days before the wedding), and supplied all the required gear, including a tent for the rain, so we didn't have to worry about anything the day of. Ryan is a talented musician and hearing his live acoustics was really special before we danced for hours during the reception, in which he was an amazing DJ. Communication was smooth throughout our entire process of planning, he is thorough and professional, and so friendly! I am so glad he played music for us and you will be too!!
Ryan was seriously amazing at our 7.16 wedding!! He perfectly qued ceremony music, played live in a 3 piece group for cocktail hour, and then dove into DJing for a night that kept everyone on their feet until they shut us down. I was so beyond thankful for him, and so happy I chose him for our day. 10/10 recommend!
Ryan was great!! We had him play some acoustic guitar for a little bit and then dj for the dance floor. Playlist fit our style of music perfectly. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Ryan was amazing! He played live music during our ceremony and was also the DJ for our reception. The fact he was able to do both was unique and a great experience for us and our guests. He met with us a few times leading up to the wedding and was always available for questions. We took a while to fill out the questionnaire he gave us but he was always patient, and was very graceful and professional the day of the wedding. Would highly recommend!
Ryan was awesome to work with, and his love for creating a memorable experience through music is genuine. He was prompt in arriving at our venue and very professional. He had a comprehensive questionnaire for us to fill out and provided us with a playlist that perfectly captured our vision for our dance party. It was the best day ever! Thank you for everything, Ryan!
We highly recommend Ryan. My husband and I had never hired a musician before and we were a little nervous. We had some very specific ideas, and some very vague notions. Ryan was helpful, friendly, and patient. He helped us find and hire an additional musician for the perfect ceremony, and he waded through a truly eclectic list of requests to provide a perfect playlist for the evening. The microphone setup was ready and working for our speakers, and in his emcee role, he directed our gusts on cue. Happy customers.
Ryan was fantastic! From our initial communication, through the wedding and reception, he was always providing helpful thoughts towards our perfect wedding day. He was accommodating and down to earth. He wanted to make sure our day reflected what we wanted and it did. Our venue had three different areas that needed music and it was wonderful that Ryan could accommodate. We even asked him to play acoustically for our wedding ceremony! He kept the beats rocking, the guests engaged and entertained, and everyone continued dancing until we were forced to shut it all down.
I would highly recommend Gorge Music for any event you're planning. You won't be disappointed!
Ryan is... AWESOME! He was a great communicator during the entire process and helped make our wedding what we hoped it would be. He does a great job at combining our music styles and helped fill in the gaps for our wedding guests. A big plus was the live music he performed during our cocktail hour (HIGHLY RECOMMEND!). We had zero technical issues during our ceremony, speeches, or reception, and he was always prepared for the next step. In the chaos that can be "planning a wedding", we never had any doubts about Ryan (THANK YOU!). We would recommend him for anyone looking to get married.
Ryan is very talented and did an amazing job at our wedding! He was spot on with our taste in music. His ability to play live fit the reception well and helped to make our day perfect!
Ryan was great!! Super easy to work with during the planning phase! From the ceremony to the reception everything went so smoothly. The reception was a blast and you couldn’t get us off the dance floor!
Ryan was super easy to get in touch with, and also sent out a survey to get an idea of our taste in music as well as choose our final song choices for specific events of the night. He also helped us decide music for things we weren’t sure about. Not only does he dj but he is also a great singer and plays the guitar as well— if you want any part of your wedding to include acoustics as well as a playlist mix Ryan is your guy!
