Ryan and his team were absolutely fantastic in every way possible. Communication was great the entire way through. Even after a couple weeks people who attended our wedding are still commenting about how great the music was. Highly recommend going with the platinum package as the bass was amazing!
We hired Ryan after another DJ bailed at the last minute. He was quick to get to get everything going as soon as possible. I can't recommend R&R enough!
Ryan was awesome!! We searched long for a DJ until we found Ryan. He was super cool, helpful, and just blew everyone at our reception away. I highly recommend!
I couldn't recommend Ryan and his company enough! Ryan has been our DJ for our nonprofit's fundraiser walk at the Detroit Zoo for the past three years. Not only is he
diligent, professional, fun, and kind, but he also knows how to get our walkers and participants excited for the day.
He treats our walk like he's on our staff, and cares about our mission. He's passionate about making our event awesome, and really goes above and beyond.
If I could rate him and his business more than 5 stars I would. He would be an incredible add to any event- wedding, walk, you name it!
Any questions?
R&R Sound & Lighting did such an amazing job. Once they opened the floor for dancing our guests never left the dance floor. Everything was so seamless, the music was spot-on and the DJs knew how to read the room. Ryan was so great to work with and so easy going. I felt so unorganized/indecisive; he was so patient and knew how to go with the flow. We have guests still telling us how they’d never seen that many people on the dance floor all night, how they’d never had that much fun at a wedding, and how they were still recovering from all the dancing they did😅
We can’t thank R&R enough!!
R&R Sound and Lighting did a wonderful job for our wedding! DJ Ryan provided the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was very responsive to questions along the way in the planning process and was very organized and professional. His planning document was very organized and allowed us to communicate our timeline of events, song requests, and other important wedding day information. He worked with us to make sure we had exactly what we wanted for our special day. The music was awesome and he read the room so well! He played so many of our song requests and others, which allowed the songs to mix together well! He kept the party going by keeping people on the dance floor and everyone had a great time! Many of our guests complimented our DJ and I couldn’t agree more on how fun our wedding was because of his work! Thank you again Ryan!
R & R Sound and Lighting is absolutely wonderful to work with. We use Ryan and his team exclusively for our non-profit fundraisers. He brings such a great energy to our events, knows the current trends and listens to what each event energy needs. Highly recommend R & R for all of your event needs.
Ryan is a joy to work with! We have partnered with him for Night to Shine, a prom experience for people with special needs ages 14 and up. He is easy to communicate with, reliable, dependable, and good at what he does!
He makes sure we have the fun, family-friendly atmosphere we're looking for!
Ryan and Brad were absolutely outstanding! We booked very early with Ryan who always was available to answer any questions and put us at ease. His contract was very easy to navigate and understand and he was very helpful when it came to making our decisions for the package that would fit us best. Ryan and Brad showed up early to set up our venue and made us so comfortable and at ease the day of. Our monogram was beautiful, sound and lighting was perfect, and the photo booth was such a hit! Everyone was very complimentary of how high tech and fun it was! The music was perfect for our vibe and Brad did a great job MC’ing and getting our guests excited! We cannot say enough great things about them, I would recommend them for any special event, they went above and beyond our expectations! Thank you again for making our wedding day a day to remember!
Ryan is the best! My husband and I are big music lovers and Ryan truly made our wedding day an experience I will remember and cherish forever! 5 stars for R&R and Lighting 🙂
I attended a wedding that Ryan DJ-ed. Ryan was great (excellent music, fun lighting, & solid attention to detail), but unfortunately I had an issue with one of his sub-contractors. When I reached out to Ryan about my concerns, he responded almost immediately with an apology & a highly satisfactory resolution. 10/10 would recommend.
R&R executed our vision perfectly, made planning with them so incredibly easy. They also did our photo booth and it was so much fun! They then surprised us with photos that they had taken during the day and they are high quality! Can not recommend them enough! R&R takes care of all your needs!
Ryan and his team was amazing! They thought of everything and keep everyone engaged in the event.
I have nothing but GREAT things to say about R&R sound and lighting!! Everything was perfect, down to the planning and making sure I got what I wanted, to the photo booth, to announcing our entrance, everything was exactly as I wanted it. They even brought me and my husband drinks while we were taking pictures during the cocktail hour! They were so thoughtful and changed the music to the mood of our group. DJ's make or break a wedding in my opinion, adn R&R sound and lighting was definitely amazing on our big day!
Incredible! that is the first word that comes to mind thinking back to our wedding day. we had Ryan and Tyler out for our wedding on October 1st, 2022. they are beyond amazing. very easy going, extremely professional, very attentive, highly skilled, and the best choice we could have ever made for our DJ and photo booth. everyone has not stopped talking about how they were one of the best wedding djs they have ever encountered and I 100% agree with them. everyone was completely blown away at the photo booth as well. YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY if you book them and I highly recommend them to everyone. thank you so much Ryan and Tyler!! - Brandon and Alyssa Harris
My husband and I were so happy we hired R&R Sound for our wedding! When we first met Ryan, he was super informational about his packages and services. Ryan provided a lot we were looking for: sound, lighting, and photo booth.
Before the wedding, Ryan sent us a detailed planning form and met with us to talk about it. On the day, Ryan played excellent music based on what we put on the planning form and had our guests out on the dance floor! Highly recommend!!
R&R Sound and Lighting is well worth the investment for your wedding! Ryan is great to work with and he (and his assistant) were essential in making sure our reception went on without a hitch. Ryan was incredibly responsive throughout the wedding planning process and worked with us to make sure he was tailoring his service to our needs. What surprised me the most is how helpful and supportive they were during the reception itself. From the moment I walked into the venue, Ryan and his assistant make sure everything stayed on track which really allowed me to enjoy the moment. You won't regret this choice!
We booked Ryan for our ceremony and reception. Our ceremony had a lot of moving parts (and included music that is definitely not in the Top 40) and he executed it flawlessly. For the reception, our guests were ages 1 to 97 and Ryan kept everyone dancing all night long! He even helped me get food so I wouldn't spill all over my dress. He is so friendly, professional, and great at his job!
I literally do not know where to even begin to explain how amazing this DJ is. First of all, the first time I met Ryan was more than a year before my wedding and I thought I knew what direction I wanted to go in then. So easy to talk to, easy to get ahold of and very very very responsive. I ended up adding them for an extra hour, monogram and extra hour photo booth ( which I’ll get into later). Fast forward to 2 weeks before the wedding. I reach out to Ryan because I didn’t have a wedding coordinator and didn’t know where to start on times, when to do events etc. He sends like an 8 page booklet of everything you could think of that you would or want to incorporate in your reception. If you don’t want to do them you don’t have to if you plan on doing them then you just number what order you want them to be in. It helps you brainstorm everything from an order where you want your wedding party to come in what song what song for Cake cutting, what song for your first dance, bouquet toss, what song for the first song of the night etc….. IT MADE IT SO MUCH LESS STRESSFUL FOR ME!!!! Fast forward to the day of the wedding, I texted Ryan when we were on our way to the reception and he was outside waiting to greet us when we pulled in. We walked in reception and Ryan and other Ryan (MC, also awesome) we’re there to make sure they had the order right and the names correct. FLAWLESS grand entrance. Jumped right into speeches and dinner like I wanted. Ryan (DJ) carried my plate for me so I didn’t have to worry. They checked on me ALL NIGHT LONG to make sure I didn’t need anything. They keep you on schedule with how you wanted your events so you don’t skip anything you wanted… Now, let’s talk about this photo booth. Freaking amazing. There was a line ALL NIGHT LONG. The coolest mirror thing ever, latest technology, pictures sent to your phone, high quality picture printed with the frame that matches your invite ( which you send a pic to Ryan after you order them and then he sends it to his designer for you to pick which one you like). We got SO MANY COMPLEMENTS!! Plus the photo album was great to look at the next day since we were so busy and didn’t get to enjoy it as much as our guests did which is okay! People were dancing all night long. I’m not joking they made our wedding the best night ever, we will never forget. I would hire them every single time for anything you would possibly need a DJ for. LOOK PAST THE MONEY. THEY ARE SO WORTH IT YOU WILL REGRET NOT BOOKING WITH THEM!!! I love y’all so much and thank you again so much my friends! ❤️
Ryan is incredible! We were set to be married in 2020 but, like so many couples, were forced to postpone. Ryan was easy going, quick to respond, and handled each change to the plan seamlessly!
He is incredibly personable and great at what he does. I have never seen so many people on the dance floor for so long! We received more compliments about the music and the DJ/MC then I could have imagined!
The MC for our event (also named Ryan) did a great job and checking in, keeping things on time, and making any last minute announcements.
We could not have found a better person for the job and will be recommending R&R Sound to all of our friends!
R&R hands down are absolutely amazing to work with! They made our wedding so much fun and did an amazing job with the ceremony music as well as the reception! The lighting helped create such a beautiful abnesphere. They are personable and interactive. R&R made sure to make us feel extra special as the bride and groom. From the lighting, to the announcements and the music, all were definitely key in lighting up the party!
Thank you R&R sound and lighting for all you do!
I recommend you to everyone I know looking for a professional, fun, with the times DJ!
DJ Ryan and M.C. Sean did a phenomenal job with the sound and lighting at our wedding!! DJ Ryan knows how to read the crowd and he kept our guests dancing throughout the night! DJ Ryan really takes the time to get to know his clients prior to their wedding and was professional throughout the wedding planning process.
Ryan was extremely helpful in the wedding planning process, especially with having a wedding during COVID. He was always able to chat on the phone or reply to my emails quickly. On our wedding day, he did a great job picking up on the music our guests wanted, and our dance floor was amazingly packed all night! We can not thank him enough!
What can I say? Ryan could not have been any cooler! He was the perfect DJ for our Ceremony and Reception. He knew exactly what to play and when to play it and he lit the room PERFECT! With all of the craziness we've encountered in 2020, he was able to adapt and make everything work. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him and we're very thankful we chose him. My wife already mentioned that we need to hire him for our housewarming party, because he was that good. Bottom line, if you're deciding on a DJ for your wedding, just go with R&R. It's not only a good choice, but the best choice!
Ryan does an awesome job! His professionalism and equipment are top notch. Will not find a better DJ!
Well worth the money spent! Ryan went above and beyond on our wedding day! They got drinks for us throughout the night and made sure we had everything we needed, they did a better job coordinating than the actual coordinator at the venue. They moved the events along so that we could actually enjoy our night. The set up they had was amazing, we loved the ambiance lighting around the room. Everyone was dancing all the way to the end of the reception! What was also awesome was my reception had two separate rooms and they were able to accommodate for both rooms with a smaller set up for the speeches. The photo mirror was everyone’s favorite thing at the wedding and always had a line. I would recommend Ryan for anyone’s wedding!
If I could give 10 stars I would! I will recommend R&R Sound & Lighting to everyone from now on. Absolutely the most professional, accommodating, fun, and talented DJ we have ever seen. Our wedding was downsized to 1/4 of its original size because of the pandemic, but Ryan was flexible with the last minute changes and made our small event a total blast until the very end. We also rented the photo mirror, which was a hit and truly made the party for everyone! Overall, these guys kept the party moving, played awesome music, and flawlessly read the room, which made our wedding something that everyone will remember for years to come. You will absolutely not regret going with them!
We were so glad we booked R&R Sound and lighting. I had gone through lots of research to find a DJ and decided to book them. I am so glad I did!!! They were so amazing and went above and beyond to do their job and make everything go smoothly as possible. They even helped us with making our plates for dinner and grabbing us drinks from the bartender. They did a phenomenal job and every one of our guests loved them and told us what a great time they had!
Ryan & Ryan of R & R Sound and Lighting were exceptional! Ryan met with us and helped us throughout the daunting process of wedding planning. He answered any questions we had and reassured us plenty of times. He is very knowledgeable about the DJ business and his equipment he used was state of the art. On the wedding day, Ryan and Ryan helped guide my husband and me throughout the day. They triple checked with us on the song choices and names of our bridal party before announcing. If anything came up on the wedding day, Ryan came to us to ensure everything was OK with any changes. Dancing was the best part of the wedding night and everyone was dancing up until the end. Ryan played songs that my husband and I requested and it was a blast! The lighting was also very well done and it really set the mood for our wedding night. We had a monogram of our names projected as well & it was tastefully done! Ryan also was incredible in making sure my husband and I had drinks and food in our hands! He truly made our wedding a day to remember! It was such a pleasure working them from the beginning to the very end. We highly recommend having R & R Sound and Lighting as your wedding DJ!
Ryan and his team were SO amazing for our wedding. We were so happy and pleased with how everything turned out. If you want THE best DJ for your money, it’s this guy right here. He has the best equipment and the photo booth is AMAZING! It’s touch screen, digital and high tech! It prints the photos out in seconds and it does not take up much space. Our guests loved it!! We told him what we wanted for our wedding and what songs and genres we had in mind and it couldn’t have been more perfect. He hit it right on! Thank you so much Ryan and your team for a spectacular wedding night we will NOT forget!
Ryan and his emcee Shaun were absolutely outstanding! Ryan was in communication from early in the planning process all the way up to the final details in the days before the wedding, ensuring that everything would go smoothly the day of. He provided the tech for the outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, and made sure that the music we provided came through clearly and on track with the proceedings. He kept the dance floor packed all night, nailing the music that kept the party rocking all the way until the end! Both Ryan and Shaun were professional yet fun to work with! We cannot recommend them enough if you want your wedding to be one that all your guests talk about! Thanks again!
Ryan was our DJ for our wedding at the Ann Arbor City Club. We honestly could not have asked for anyone better. The music and lights were incredible and everything was extremely personalized at such a fair price. All our friends were raving about how good the music was and that put a huge smile on our faces. Ryan was incredibly receptive to what we wanted from our wedding and was so helpful for the flow of our wedding. If you want a great reliable DJ for your wedding, R&R productions is the way to go. Wouldn't even think of looking anywhere else. Thanks again Ryan for making our night memorable.
Ryan and his emcee were outstanding to work with. They were spot on with the lighting and music for our wedding and our guests really seemed to enjoy dancing the night away. Ryan was very thorough in making sure the music and order of events ran smoothly- from cocktail hour to first dance to last dance is the night. It was a true pleasure to work with Ryan and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great DJ for their special day!
The DJ's DJ; take it from me, let Ryan do his thing. This was the single best decision for my wedding, hands down. Being a DJ myself, I know how these events can be. I sent him a zip file of me and my (now) wife's favorite music. Between that, his incredibly high end line array sound equipment and crowd reading abilities, this made it the best night to remember. You can't beat superior fire power and music selection. He is an owner operator, with that you get way better quality than a service that just signs you up with "someone who is available" for your night. Seriously, base your wedding date on his availability over a venue, I promise you won't regret it.
We loved R & R Sound and Lighting! Ryan was so attentive to details, professional, organised, gave great suggestions, easy to reach, quick to respond and was so easy to work with! He and Shaun (MC) kept the dance floor full with their interactive style and ability to read the room. We had a tricky room with it being a massive space with high ceilings and they made sure the sound quality was amazing and it was! They also were so helpful with making sure I made it down the aisle at just the right time with the music. The lighting aspect was top notch and creating a great atmosphere. My husband and I were also so impressed with the fact that both Ryan and Shaun made sure to help us get food during our strolling dinner, which was totally unexpected and we loved that they did that! I highly recommend R & R Sound and Lighting!!
Would highly recommend Ryan! He came recommended to me and he did not disappoint. He is so nice and friendly. They did the sound and lighting for my ceremony and reception and it was beyond perfect. Everything was executed perfectly. They were so fun and you could tell they love what they do!
If you want the best DJ and lighting service for your wedding, hire R&R. They are the best. They customized our music to fit our needs and played the best songs. You won't regret booking them for you big day.
Ryan, Sean and his team were exceptional! Sean does a great drop being the MC and keeping the party going. He kept the wedding party on track and organized! Ryan does an amazing job at reading the room and finding the best songs for the moment. The sound quality of the music was awesome! The uplighting that he did looked absolutely fantastic. They were such a pleasure to work with! We really felt that they were working their hardest to make sure that everyone at the wedding was having a blast. We 10/10 recommend! Also, get the photo mirror! It was such a hit!!
R&R was the absolute best, start to finish! Ryan was great to work with - he has great ideas, he was easy to chat with and was so organized. We had some last minute sound issues (not relating to them) and Ryan just got it fixed without a second thought. We got married on NYE and had the best time. Ryan suggested a unique entrance for the reception and it was amazing! When my husband and I entered our entire wedding was on the dance floor waiting for us, many people told us it was the best entrance they had ever seen. They read the room beautifully and kept the dance floor packed all night. I can’t say enough good things, we are so happy we hired them!
I can’t even say enough good things about them!! The lighting was absolutely stunning...I was blown away. Ryan made us feel like the most important people that entire night. He was willing to do anything for us and so easy to work with. He has a very sophisticated set up and brought our reception to life. Even the up lights around the room changed colors. The dance floor was extremely packed all night, in the best way possible!! Everyone was LOVING it! He was able to read the crowd and adapt accordingly. The photo booth was awesome, people were having a great time. Everything was better than we could have ever hoped for!
We had such a wonderful experience working with R&R! Ryan and his fellows were personable, flexible, and so much fun! They truly brought the party to life! We recommend him to everyone!
R&R Sound & Lighting (Ryan) was very professional from the very first day of contact. He informed us on how his state-of-the-art equipment would make for a very special wedding event -- and he was great! He showed us several packages that he offered and was flexible in providing the lighting, music and monogram that were just right for the reception room and for our guests. He gave good advice on the timing for the reception events and he and Sean did the introductions, announcements and were fabulous in keeping everything on track. The bride and groom love to dance and the variety and sequence of music made for a very fun evening dancing with their guests. We felt very lucky to have chosen R&R and would highly recommend for your event.
R&R Sound and Lighting was absolutely worth every penny! Ryan and Shaun did an amazing job from the music choices, the lighting and the announcements.
Our venue looked completely different when Ryan and Shaun put life and excitement into it!
I’ve been to a couple weddings where the DJ rushes the announcements, the cake cutting and the first dance but ours was nothing like that. Everything flowed nicely and me as a bride, was not worried about a thing which was great.
They knew exactly what songs to play at the beginning of the wedding, the middle and the end.
I had a guest at my wedding who was getting married a month after me wishing they would have booked R&R Sound and Lighting for their wedding too!
Ryan was great to work with, I'm so happy we hired him for our special day! He made the preparation easy and stress free. Ryan was great at reading the crowd and played all the perfect songs to get people out of their seats and dancing. He provided great equiptment and lighting effects. If you want a true professional you won't go wrong hiring R&R sound and lighting.
Ryan was great to work with. He and his team created such a fun atmosphere from the music selection, the cool lighting effects, and the popular photo booth. My husband and I highly recommend R&R Sound and Lighting to take your special event to the next level!
Ryan was awesome! From the moment we met him we knew he would be perfect for our wedding. He was professional, took time to understand what we were looking for (even went over all the specifics of his speakers since my husband is really into professional equipment lol). The team made sure the day of the wedding went off smoothly. Not only were there no hiccups, but our guests never left the dance floor and had the best time. The lighting was amazing and captured the energy and mood we wanted for the night. Thank you R&R!!
Ryan & Sean were great! We couldn’t have chose a better DJ for our wedding. Ryan was always so helpful with the many questions that we had and was quick with his response to us. The music at the wedding was awesome and there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. At one point, Sean even brought me another drink because he saw that I didn’t have one! They both did whatever they could to ensure that we didn’t have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding! We would 100% recommend them to anyone!
Everything about our wedding went perfectly, and I attribute that to the venue, Prestige Banquet Hall, and our DJ, R&R Sound and Lighting. The dance floor was full, all night long. They did an amazing job! We got in all the formal dances at exactly the right time. They even did the sound for our ceremony. On top if that, Ryan and his staff made the plate for me and my wife and brought it to the head table. If we ever need a DJ again for any event, R&R will be the first and only call we make.
Ryan was amazing! He and his team were professional, personable and worked with my husband and I to create a perfect wedding day. They were flexible and accommodating and really worked to bring out the theme of our day: Wizard of Oz and it was perfect! They could really read our guests and they played what got them moving and always accommodated requests. They are a MUST HAVE for your wedding!!
You need to book them now! I met Ryan at a bridal show and immediately knew I needed them for our wedding! Their sound equipment and lighting is top of the line. Their prices were better than the other DJ services that we talked to (all the other DJs wanted to charge extra for every little thing which really added up). Even though, their equipment and pricing was great, it was Ryan's personality that won us over. When we met with Ryan, we felt like we were meeting up with a friend for coffee. He was super organized, outgoing, professional, and seemed to understand exactly what we were looking for in a DJ. During the planning process, he was quick to respond to any questions or concerns and made me feel like I had one less thing to worry about. I love the fact that Ryan has Sean with him to MC. They were a great team! Sean was hilarious and knew how to get the party started. Both Ryan and Sean offered to serve us our food, get us drinks, and anything else that we may have needed. We had many people compliment how awesome the lighting was and how amazing our DJs were. Our dance floor was packed all night. Many of our friends have told us how much fun our wedding was and we owe it all to R&R! Music was one of the areas we cared most about and they definitely exceeded our expectations. I would choose them over and over again in a heart beat! They have excellent reviews for a reason.
Ryan and his crew went above and beyond to make our night absolutely incredible. From the ceremony, to dancing, to even serving us our dinner they did everything to make us feel special. Plus the dance floor was never empty :) THANK YOU R and R Sound and Lighting!! We love you guys
Ryan gave us the wedding soundtrack of our dreams. He kept guests on their feet and dancing all night long, offering up a wide array of genres/moods. He truly knows how to read a crowd! His curation through each stage of our wedding (from the ceremony through the reception) was impeccable and exactly what we were looking for. In addition to the wedding itself, Ryan provided timely, helpful service during our year and a half of wedding planning. We couldn't have imagined our day without him!
Ryan did an amazing job with the lighting at our reception! Ryan is amazing! He’s professional, flexible, and really knows how to light up a room! It made a huge difference to have lighting at our reception. We also added a monogram which was super cool! He custom programmed our lights to match our theme and they changed throughout the evening which is something no one else could offer us. It made for an amazing experience and pictures. We highly recommend Ryan! He will really make your wedding look incredible and is a great person to work with!
Ryan and his team were absolutely amazing! They made our wedding reception perfect! Our family and friends danced the night away! We couldn’t have been happier with how everything went! We love Ryan! He’s awesome!
Cannot say enough great things about Ryan and his team! They had people out on the dance floor all night! Very professional and reliable, will be recommending in the future for SURE. BOOK THEM!!!!
R&R Sound and Lighting came recommended by our photographer, and I can totally see why! Ryan was so easy to work with! We've been to many weddings and never had a DJ that kept the dance floor so packed! Leading up to the big day, Ryan was completely organized and met with us to walk through the events, timeline and what kind of music we wanted - and they totally stuck to it! Ryan and Shawn are both complete gentlemen, Ryan walked me (Bride) to the different food stations, made my plate and walked me back to my seat - another thing I have never seen before! R&R was also flexible, unfortunately we had to go with our backup plan due to rain, however, when it stopped raining, my husband and I really wanted to go to the rooftop - we were able to work out a plan right then and there and Ryan made it happen. If there's any advice I can offer couples, it is to invest in vendors who will help the most important day of your life, run so smoothly, look no further - R&R Sound and Lighting will do exactly that.
Ryan & Sean were great. We got tons of compliments from the quality of the sound, and on the excellent music selection. This is the only Wedding DJ in the history of Wedding DJ's that was able to slide from Frank Sinatra to Diplo without dropping a beat. The lighting was also awesome.
Working with them was a breeze, they knew exactly how everything should work out. Ryan even made my wife's plate of food, if you can believe that! They kept the party moving, helped with the sequence of events, and they were the official bridal party wranglers of the evening. Best part, we didn't need to ask them, they just did it and helped out.
DJ Ryan was great to work with from start to finish. EXTREMELY responsive and organized, and helped us plan the flow of events for the night. Song selection throughout the evening was excellent, as was the sound. We got the package with uplighting and projection, which was really nice. Overall, I would highly recommend R&R for your wedding! A++++
Seriously so awesome!!! Everyone had a great time and they were so much fun!!! Been to many wedding and they were by far our favorite!! The lighting was beautiful and we had complements from our guests! They made the night complete and played everything we wanted! Thank you Ryan and Shaun!!!
Ryan and his MC are professionals with a great eye for detail. Ryan and his MC were prompt with set-up and breakdown for the wedding. Ryan coordinated music with the wedding coordinators based on timeline of events throughout the wedding. The up-lighting, intelli-lights, and sound system were of the highest quality. The up-lighting and intelli-lights were an awesome effect within the ballroom. My aunt sung our wedding song and the quality of sound was superb. R&R Sound and Lighting DJ Service has concert quality speakers and outstanding professionalism. We would hire R&R Sound and Lighting DJ Service for future events.
Do yourself a favor and book R&R Sound and Lighting right now! They made our night the best possible event we could've hoped for. Ryan is the most detail oriented person I have ever met and he made my wife feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire wedding planning process. While it was super difficult to get in contact with most of our other vendors, Ryan was always responsive whether it was through email, text or phone calls. We only had to meet a handful of times to go over details and what not but you would’ve thought we planned for years based on the reception they put on.
From start to finish, they were hands down the most professional vendor we dealt with. Emily and I were able to see our reception hall before they let all the guests in and we were absolutely blown away by the lights and colors of the room provided by R&R Sound and Lighting. Then as soon as Shaun grabbed the mic, the party started. From our grand entrance to the final song, they had the party bumping and the dance floor packed. We had set the order of events before the wedding and they kept us on track the entire night. They did such a great job tracking us down to keep us updated and they were by far the biggest hit of the night!
I can’t believe we ever thought about using a different vendor. I recommend these guys from the bottom of my heart! I promise they will make your special night the best day of your life just like they did for us. Thank you guys so much!
Ryan and Ryan were amazing!! They made our wedding day so special! There was honestly not one moment during the night where there was an empty dance floor! Our DJ was a very important roll to my husband and I. We needed them to be amazing! The lighting made our winter wedding magical. One of our friends is a tech guy and made it a point to tell us how impressed he was with Ryan's set up! Go with these guys! You won't regret it!
Amazing! Listened to exactly what I wanted and nailed it. My guests danced all night and music flowed one song to the next. They for sure really know how to read a crowd and I could not have asked for anything better from them! I highly recommend R&R Sound and Lighting!
If you want an organized, reliable DJ that will have your dance floor packed... Ryan is your guy! From our first interaction I knew Ryan would take care of things and help make our special day run smooth. He has this amazing packet that makes planning the reception easy and he worked with us to substitute certain things because we didn’t need a bunch of lights, due to the room having big windows. He brought Shaun with him and they were the BEST team!! Ryan kept the music going and people dancing and Shaun was the best MC! They made everyone feel like we knew them for years and I could not be more pleased with the service and execution of R&R! Thank you for everything, you guys were amazing.
Shaun and Ryan were great! They played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! These two are very professional, organized and detail orientated!! Not to mention they didn't mind our venue was 3 hours away!! The dance floor was packed all night, and the lighting provided by R&R Sound and Lighting added the perfect touch!! Highly recommended!!
We met with Ryan prior to booking and during the planning process. He always made us feel assured that our wedding would be in great hands with him. And he was always very responsive to my emails and silly questions! Knowing that he would be the one to perform for our wedding on the actual day helped us to choose Ryan over some other larger companies that use multiple DJs.
We booked DJ/photo booth/lighting packages and were thrilled with the quality of all 3 services at a reasonable price.
Ryan brought Sean to act as MC for our wedding as Ryan mixed the music. Both were great on the day of, and constantly checked in to make sure everything was scheduled and running how we wanted it. Ryan did a good job at reading the crowd and still mixed in a lot of songs from our request list we made prior to the date. They were so great at monitoring the timing and flow of our night, that we didn't even miss not having a wedding planner or day of coordinator!
Everything from ceremony to last song went smoothly, and if anything went wrong I didn't even know it!
Guests also loved the open air photobooth. We even got a nice album with some hilarious pics of our guests enjoying the photo booth.
We Would highly recommend and use R&R again!
Ryan and Sean made our night a absolute blast! The dance floor was packed all night. After the last long our guests screamed encore. I highly recommend!
R&R Sound and Lightning was a huge hit at our wedding. Working with Ryan from day 1 was super easy and he walked us through the whole process. He has a wonderful spreadsheet and timeline that helped us keep on track while we were planning. At times I felt as though Ryan knew more about our wedding timeline than us! During the reception Ryan and he assistant even helped my wife and I with drinks and our food. Definitely went above and beyond on ALL aspects.
R&R is amazing! Before our wedding Ryan talked for a long time with my husband and I to get a feel for the kind of music we liked and made a really detailed plan with us to ensure he understood what we wanted and that things would run smoothly. At our reception, Ryan handled the music and Sean MCd for us. Sean is a wonderful MC as he kept our guests entertained and laughing. The two of them work together to make sure things run beautifully. The music they played was awesome and kept guests of all ages on the dance floor all night long. Ryan and Sean also went through the buffet line with my husband and I and served us our food which I thought was really unique and a really special way to serve us. The lighting package we chose was also wonderful as it included a really nice monogram and classy uplighting. Overall, I was a pretty picky bride about my DJ and I'm so glad we went with R&R. Ryan and Sean are just really great guys who I could really tell cared about us. Having them as our DJ helped us to be able to relax and enjoy our day. My husband and I are so happy we chose them as our DJs.
We loved having Ryan and Shaun as our DJs at my daughters wedding reception. They provided us with exactly what we needed and some. They are extremely personable and professional. We met them at a wedding show and was so comfortable with them, that we immediately booked them! We knew right then they had to be our DJs. Besides be so friendly, they are prompt, responsive and very detail oriented! Look no further for your DJ's! You will be so glad you booked them! (Side note: our dance floor was packed all night!)
They were AMAZING!!!!
So much fun! Loved them!
Ryan & Sean DJed/MCed our wedding last Saturday at the Michigan League, and they were amazing!!! Sean was professional and prompt with announcements, and Ryan kept our guests dancing all night. We talked to a lot of DJs and even more DJ companies, but Ryan immediately stood out; he's incredibly friendly, detail-oriented, and smart, but we also appreciated that from start to finish we dealt with Ryan, our DJ, instead of a person who owns a company that sub-contracts with DJs. Ryan honored our requests, chose lighting that complimented our vision for the space, and read the crowd to keep them dancing. Sean kept us on schedule, helped us get guests from one space to another, and was easy to find if anything came up. Together they helped us throw an epic party.
All of these 5-star reviews are here for a reason--R&R is AMAZING! Without hesitation I would recommend Ryan!!!!
We loved Ryan and his crew! They did an amazing job and we received a lot of compliments about our DJ and photobooth! They went beyond my expectations and I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you R&R for helping make our wedding night perfect!
A family friend told us about Ryan and his DJ services after attending a multi-cultural wedding and had nothing but positive things to say. After meeting with Ryan, we knew he was exactly what we were looking for and what we needed to bring our multi-cultural wedding together. All the planning was seamless, organized and detailed. We left every meeting feeling confident that we were in good hands. If anything went wrong on the day of the wedding, we were not aware. Ryan and Sean were very professional and kept us in the loop the entire time. The attention to detail was very impressive. Being a multi-cultural wedding, it was very important that both cultures were represented. Ryan and Sean were wonderful working with our families to makes sure the speeches (in different languages) went smoothly. They did an excellent job and determining what to play next to keep both families happy and incorporating our personal taste in music. This is one vendor on your wedding check list you will not have to think twice about. Highly recommended!!!
DJ Ryan and the MC did a phenomenal job! Ryan was very prompt with responses up until the wedding day, and his questionnaire was immensely helpful in making sure every aspect of the evening was covered. They were both eager to accommodate us at the wedding with anything we needed, even things that weren't just the music. The MC even helped get people up and dancing!! I could not have asked for a better DJ and I have been getting compliments on them ever since the wedding. Thanks again guys!!
R&R Sound and Lighting made my wedding what it was - we could not have had the amazing event we had without them! Ryan and Sean were the utmost professionals and gave us a great time. I worked primarily with Ryan leading up to the event, and he was so accommodating - he was even willing to custom mix his uplighting to give me the exact color scheme I'd hoped for. He found all the songs I wanted for our special day and was willing to incorporate every small detail I wanted. On the night of the wedding, Ryan and Sean went above and beyond to provide the ultimate stress free experience - they double checked bridal party names for announcements, dismissed tables for dinner, monitored the flow of the night to ensure everything ran smoothly - my groom and I didn't have to worry about a thing.
The music selections were incredible and kept the party moving the whole night. They were accommodating to requests and played unconventional songs just to make our guests happy. The lights they used on the dance floor made the experience awe-inspiring. Everyone had so much fun, and people were complimenting the music all night long.
Prices were beyond reasonable for comparable services in the area, and they went above and beyond to create the perfect experience for us. I could not recommend them highly enough. Ryan and Sean were friendly, engaging, and the best addition to our wedding we could have chosen.
We booked Ryan to do our lighting for our wedding in August. We love working with him so far! Unfortunately we already booked our DJ before meeting Ryan, otherwise we probably would have booked him. We're really excited to work with him! Will post another review as things progress!
We absolutely loved working with Ryan! From the very first meeting we had with him, we knew we wanted R&R to do our wedding. Ryan has a very comfortable, friendly, and professional presence about him. His interest was in making sure that our reception party was the best that it could be, and he made it very easy to get everything that we wanted. We only needed R&R for a shorter amount of time, due to the organization of our reception. When Ryan discovered that we only needed him for a few hours, he upgraded his sound system to the next highest package that he offered, free of charge, just to make sure we were getting our money's worth! The party was absolutely fantastic and many of our guests told us that our dance party was the best they had been to at a wedding. Ryan played the songs we wanted played, gauged the crowd in order to play the right music at the right time, and made sure every special dance was announced and went smoothly. We have nothing but great things to say. Definitely recommend for any gig. Worth every penny.
Ryan and team were amazing DJs! We couldn't have asked more a more professional, organized, and friendly team to help MC, DJ, and run our photo booth. They provided our ceremony music and well as a microphone for our officiant. The ceremony was in a remote area where they actually had to bring in a battery to supply electricity! I couldn't believe that the music quality was still great! We got so many compliments on the up lighting and animated monogram that they provided. It really made our barn venue even more beautiful than it already was. They kept the dance floor crowed all night with their music selection and went above and beyond to make sure the night ran smoothly. I would highly recommend R & R Sound and Lighting for anyone looking for top-notch professionals who are willing to go the extra mile to make your memorable event amazing!
Ryan was perfect! Our best man contacted him the morning of the wedding with a strange request and he fit it right in with no problems! Our night was perfect and everyone had so much fun!
We picked the DJ, lighting and photo booth package. Ryan delivered to perfection. From the get-go he was very approachable. He was organized and easy to reach, always available for assistance. My wife is Bosnian and I'm Egyptian and so there was a lot of mixing between Bosnian, Arabic and American songs. Ryan's mixing was phenomenal and the transitions were seamless; he kept the dance floor packed. The Lighting was exceptional and we got plenty of compliments on it. The photo booth was awesome, everyone got to keep a copy of the picks and so did we (in both a digital format and a hard copy as part of a photo album all our guests could sign). The only thing is that the props are limited which, in his defense, he forewarned us of. The wedding was a blast because of his hard work and dedication, and his love of what he does. Thank you Ryan!
Only being able to rate a 5 out of 5 does not do them justice because we were absolutely blown away by the fantastic job DJ Ryan and his assistant did! We had the Platinum package, photo booth, ceremony music, and an animated monogram and it was worth... every... penny! Everything was exactly how we wanted it an so much more. Our ceremony music was perfect, they provided the microphone for my officiant and everyone could hear the ceremony clearly, all of the announcements they made were very clear, the music was nothing less than awesome, they made sure the timeline of the reception went perfectly (announcing wedding party, first dance, cake cutting, other dances, bouquet/garter toss, etc) and my guests were on the dance floor all night or having a blast in the photo booth. On top of that, they made sure our wedding party had drinks and that my husband and I were able to get our dinner. We got tons of compliments from our guests about how much fun they had and that they thought our wedding was the best that they have ever been to and we could not have done it without R&R. They went above and beyond my expectations and made sure my wedding was PERFECT!!!!!!. I would highly recommend them!!!! Thank you so much R&R!!!!!!!
DJ Ryan and Shawn were an awesome team! We got married at the Ann Arbor City Club and DJ Ryan was familiar with the venue which was helpful in planning. We were planning our wedding from out-of-state so Ryan was super flexible in Skyping or Facetiming with us prior to the wedding. The lighting that they provided was amazing and everyone loved the monogram. Our guests had a fabulous time and we loved all the songs that were played. DJ Ryan also followed our guidance that we provided on the song choices. I would recommend R&R Sound and Lighting to anyone who is getting married in Michigan!
Worked with Ryan during the wedding planning, Jason was our DJ on our wedding day. These two make a great team because we could not have been happier with everything. They have a lot of experience and Jason had everybody on the dance floor the entire night. Fantastic service!!
We were referred to Ryan from a friend and are so glad we listened! After price shopping he was the most affordable for our budget. He was quick to respond to our emails and was able to add on our ceremony music with only three days until the wedding. Then came our wedding day, everything was smooth from start to finish. After going to a wedding where there were crickets on the dance floor, we were thrilled to see ours was full all night long! Thanks so much Ryan! We would choose you again in a heartbeat!
R&R was the highlight of the night! They kept the party going and the dance floor full all night long! Both Ryan and Jason were VERY accommodating, keeping up with last minute changes, playing great music and Ryan even customized/remixed a song for my ceremony. They not only provided great DJ services for both our ceremony and reception, but went above and beyond. All my guests have complimented us on what a wonderful DJ we had. We have been told several times that our wedding was one of the best weddings a guest has been to. And we couldn't have done it without R&R! I highly recommend them. They are worth the price and in my opinion, your entertainment for your big day is not the thing you want to skimp out on. Their extra services including the photobooth, are also a huge hit. They also have a animated monogram! Which was so cool and they are the only company in Michigan to have such a thing! All the extras, all the time they put into our wedding, and music was worth every penny. THANK YOU R&R!
Ryan and his team did an AMAZING job with our wedding! We could not have been happier with their work! The uplighting was absolutely beautiful and the moving monogram was stunning! Ryan had our dance floor packed all night! The pictures from the photo booth turned out great and were hilarious - it looked like everyone had a great time with it! The photo album turned out amazing! I would highly recommend going with R&R sound and lighting - you won’t be disappointed!
Ryan was nothing but amazing throughout the whole wedding DJ process! He was very helpful in providing tips to prepare for our wedding timeline. He was also great at improvising during the wedding when we had to make some last minute changes! I highly recommend R&R Sound and Lighting to any couple that is looking for a DJ for their big event!
If I could put 10 out of 5 stars I would. If you want your wedding to be a awesome party I HIGHLY recommend R&R. Ryan and his assistant met us as we walked into the venue to go over any last minute changes and to make sure they could pronounce everyone's name correctly. They were like our wedding organizers for our reception. Everything at the reception ran so smooth thanks to them. As soon as our first dances were over the dance floor was packed the rest of the night. I don't just mean for a couple hours, it was packed the WHOLE night. So many people were dancing that people had to stand off the dance floor, and we didn't have a small dance floor! We filled out a form before the wedding and he made sure he had every song we wanted. My husband and I had the best day ever and we could not have done it without R&R. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had!
Ryan and his team did an incredible job at our wedding. We told him that we wanted our dance floor full all night, and he delivered! It was literally packed from 8:30-midnight. He played all the songs we asked for, and just did an awesome job. I would not hesitate at all to hire him for your wedding or event. Couldn't have been happier!
So glad we went with Ryan for our June wedding. Easy to work with, knew what he was doing and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Not to mention the awesome set up of lights he has to offer!! My venue mentioned to me at the end of the night how impressed they were with my DJ. They were very professional and made sure the night ran smoothly and according to schedule. As a bride it is very easy to get distracted and pulled away constantly at the reception and they were very patient with me yet still kept up with the schedule of things. We loved them!
We happened to stumble across R&R when searching for a DJ for our wedding. After reading all of the great reviews that they had received, we decided that we would like to meet with them. We knew from our very first meeting that these guys were exactly what we were looking for. All of our meetings and discussions were very professional and each time we left feeling satisfied that our music was in good hands.
On our wedding night, neither of us had seen the room or the lighting that was going to be used (we paid for a package that included up-lighting). Let me just tell you.... The room looked FANTASTIC. We were both blown away. The Emcee-ing was fantastic throughout the night and my wife and I were always kept in the loop as to what was going to be happening next. When it came time for the dancing to start, R&R really knew how to get the party going! They read the crowd and kept our dance floor packed all night long. A majority of our guests stayed dancing until the very end of the reception!
I have gotten so many compliments about our wedding night. Everyone had such a fun time... Many people have told me it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. I'd really like to thank R&R for creating such a fun atmosphere and keeping our dance floor going all night long. You guys rocked!
If you're reading this and still deciding who to hire for your wedding, HIRE THESE GUYS! I promise you won't be disappointed.
