Can't recommend him enough! My husband and I loved that he took the time to get to know us and our style. I told him I wanted Bridgerton style music as guests were walking into the ceremony space and he nailed the vibe perfectly. The music during the reception was also the perfect soundtrack to our wedding day! If I ever need a dj again, I would 100% hire Rise Entertainment again!!

Riley is the ultimate DJ. He was on top of everything and very professional. He made sure he had everything covered and communicated well with the venue. Riley thought of everything that hadn't even crossed our minds. His vibe meshed with the bride and groom and he could really read his audience. 5 stars all around! we will be using him for another wedding in a month. This was by far the best and easiest decision we made!

My husband and I had Riley DJ our wedding back in 2022 and we can’t recommend him enough! Riley really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted out of our DJ. He met with us months before our wedding to get a feel for our style of music, and even touched base with us a few times prior to the wedding to discuss the equipment he’d need to bring and where he would be setting up. Riley is professional and personable, and will keep the dance floor packed all night long. We definitely recommend booking him for your next event!

Thank you so much Ashlynne! It was such an honor to be a part of your wedding celebration!...
Keeping the dance floor packed and ensuring everyone has a fantastic time is always our goal, and we're thrilled that you and your guests had a blast! Thank you again! -Riley
