Ryan Clark VA

to work with and accommodated all requests, even adjusting the tempos for our precessional music. He did an amazing vinyl set at our cocktail hour and our guests loved it! I can’t recommend Ryan enough. He would be an incredible addition to any event.

hey'd seen at a wedding (we're biased, but we agree!) It was so good we had friends, both our moms, and even an uncle asking us if there was a recording. He pulled together a variety of music, but made it flow together seamlessly, incorporating personal touches (quotes from the father of the bride's favorite movie) and turned some of our wildest impulses into dancefloor bangers (climax of the night was kicking off a 90's house medley with the theme from the Halo soundtrack after I joked about trying to sneak it into the ceremony). You can tell that Ryan truly cares about creating a unique experience that will match the energy you want for your wedding, can't recommend him enough!

ator to our private property for all of his equipment, he played all of the songs we asked for, he went above and beyond to tell our silly "fun facts" after dinner, and absolutely KILLED it playing & mixing music all evening for us. Our guests raved about him nonstop. We really appreciate everything he did to make our day as amazing as we hoped it would be. Ryan is an absolute GEM. We will continue to highly recommend him to everyone.

one, Ryan was a clear communicator and always listened to what we wanted. Music and the dance floor were very important to us and Ryan made sure he fit our wants and needs. He delivered this and much, much more. The music at our ceremony was perfect and the audio was clear the whole time, which was impressive considering it was in the middle of a field, on a windy hill, far away from any power source. Who knew you could get a vinyl set for cocktail hour but Ryan provided this with a very unique sound and vibe. People loved it! The music during dinner complimented the music played during the ceremony really well. He had listened to everything we had said in our planning meetings and made sure the music at dinner fit our personalities and what we wanted. The songs for the dances were right on cue and exactly what we asked for. Per our request, Ryan even made an edit to our first dance so it didn't explicitly say "first f***" as we danced in front of our guests. :) The edit was maybe our favorite part of the wedding and something we will remember forever. And like I said above, the dance floor was the best ever. I know this statement might be biased but it's what we've heard from everyone. Ryan was so good at playing what we had suggested but made it better than we ever could have imagined. I'm dating myself here, but one of my friends came up to me and screamed, "Did you get Girl Talk to DJ your wedding?!" But that's what it felt like. It felt like we were at some DJ's wild concert, but the crowd was all our best friends. Lastly, and most importantly, Ryan truly listened to us and made the music more personalized than we could have ever dreamed. He remembered small things we said when we talked and looked at everything we had put on our shared document. It truly was the best! We can't recommend him enough.

lly think hard about it, and I think in ways that can be underrated. Ryan was easy to work with, did the sound for the ceremony flawlessly, had great cocktail hour music going, and kept people dancing the whole reception! He also paid close attention to who was dancing and seemed to intuit the right songs from our playlist to play at that time! He's open to whatever style you want-if you're someone who wants to make a very specific playlist, he's cool with that; if you want to give him a few example songs and a general vibe, he's got your back. Whether you have a very specific vision or a general idea of what you want, Ryan is your guy. Having a good DJ really can set the tone for a wedding, so you want someone chill but professional & skilled like Ryan!

perfectly organizing our entrance, and speeches, and then the reception music. We even threw little curveballs like having my brother perform a song and Ryan was so accommodating and kind. He had the dance floor so packed that our guests were screaming "one more song!" at the end of the night. I'm not kidding. He quickly picked up the vibe of the night and knew exactly how to amplify it. Ahead of time, Ryan made sure to carefully go through the questionnaire he sent us so he could be totally clear on what vibes we wanted and how he could help us where ever we weren't sure. He helped us personalize things down to letting us choose the aesthetic of the box holding his vinyls. Also, he's just a really cool, relaxed guy and helped put any jitters we had to rest. So, so, so grateful.

o us as super talented and well-organized, and he left an amazing impression on our guests. Ryan arrived super early on our wedding day, and his intentional communication with us was incredibly reassuring amidst the whirlwind of emotions. He confirmed all our song choices weeks in advance of our wedding, shared templates to help us share our vision, and his attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the day. He even went the extra mile by doing a vinyl cocktail hour, and played songs we specifically curated - which added a deeply personal touch to our wedding. Ryan's talent as a DJ really shined at our reception. He had a fantastic balance of songs played through vs mixes, and his understated, positive energy added immensely to the overall event ambiance. Our guests couldn't stop raving about him, even now a month post-event. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ryan to anyone who cares about their friends and family having an amazing time at their event. Direct quote from a friend: "I need your DJ to miss *once* because I'm so tired from dancing all night long."

review because he messed up the flower girl song & my song. Ryan was late & thus no pre-ceremony music was played as promised & paid for. We found out later he took a nap in his car during the cocktail hour & to top it off, he dropped the ball on the speeches & I as the Bride had to demand he pass out the microphones. Video was dangled as an incentive to book him & we haven't received anything. He's had no remorse when we expressed disappointment.

al guy you would be friends with. He had the exact amount of energy and commentary that you’d want - he’s not that cheesy wedding DJ. He listened to our music preferences and brought a variety of options to make our wedding unique. We had turntables during cocktail hour, he brought the lighting and kept the people dancing during reception, and he allowed our friend (who is a DJ) to set up his equipment and take over the last hour. Ryan played music that spanned generations and kept every guest singing and dancing, which was the most important thing to us. No one likes a lame dance floor at a wedding! I highly recommend using Ryan for your wedding DJ!

ste in music and the general vibe we wanted for each part of our wedding day. It was clear he wanted to make our day special and feel like us. Ryan was also super flexible when it came to just about anything we asked. On the day he absolutely crushed it. Aside from the music we really appreciated his ability to guide our guests with the right amount of voice over and direction throughout the night, but not in an overpowering way in the slightest. Each part of our day was perfectly executed and he fully brought our vision to life. We are still getting compliments on how much fun everyone had on the dance floor. Also Ryan grabbed some video clips throughout the day and after our photo and video teams left- we were so grateful to get to see our private last dance on camera, it was such a nice added bonus. Highly recommend hiring Ryan!

ank you Ryan!

. He was the best DJ I could have asked for. Flawlessly transitioned between tracks, kept the dancefloor full and engaged, and was probably the easiest vendor to work with. Ryan is an experienced professional and it really shows. He loves what he does and it is really on display when he performs. It was a pleasure to have him DJ our wedding. Everything was perfect, to the exact second of the tracks we had him start mid-song. We asked him to play songs starting from the chorus throughout our ceremony in introduction to the reception and he nailed all of them. I can't recommend Ryan enough to anyone. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for us!

yed. At the reception, he kept people out on the dance floor all night long! We got so many compliments from our friends about how much they loved our playlist and how much fun they had. I would recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a wedding DJ and hope to find another reason to work with him again in the future!

ful our wedding planner (Hannah Rose Design) connected us, Ryan is a great guy and you won’t regret booking him!

ome experience! We have not stopped receiving compliments from our guests on how great our DJ was - we highly recommend working with Ryan for your wedding!!

ony and our wedding party entrances. He got everything perfect down to the exact second of the songs we wanted played and even worked with us on playing a track we had recorded by a family member for the ceremony. During the reception he kept the party alive and was the ultimate emcee! Even months later, we are still getting tons of compliments on the DJ at our wedding.

our wedding- our dance floor was packed up until our send - off! We are STILL receiving compliments from our friends and family about just how awesome our DJ was and what a good time they had. Choosing Ryan as our DJ really helped make our reception the memorable night it was and I can say that of all the weddings I’ve attended, we had the best DJ! THANK YOU!!

gh about how amazing he made our special day.

r which is an amazing quality in a wedding vendor. He mastered details and also the big picture. His presence the night of was perfect - he took command of the room when needed while also fitting in with the overall ambiance. Our guests made comments to us about how great and how artistic he was. We had so much fun! We would not pick any other DJ in the business. Highly recommend Ryan!!!

s/djs in person to make decisions. However, after one phone call with Ryan we were so positive about hiring him. Ryan is extremely talented as a musician already, but add that to his DJ service and it is the whole package. He was laid back, but efficient. I had multiple people during and after the wedding let me know how much they enjoyed his music as he understood the vibe of the whole event. I highly recommend Ryan to all!

him doing his job and he played songs that got everyone from age 4-84 dancing. He took the songs we wanted played at our wedding and mixed them with his own to get the dance floor moving. I had multiple "older" family members complimenting him on how good of DJ he was. We had so much fun dancing we just decided to scrap the garter and bouquet toss (he even tried to keep us on schedule by asking if we still wanted to do it). If you want a DJ that can get everyone at your wedding dancing, this is your guy. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. He also did a great job with the sound for the ceremony, we had zero issues and was very easy to work with. I would give him a 10/10 if I could.

patient and accommodating when it came to some unplanned garter difficulties! Honestly, he was the best!!!! 10/10 - recommend!!!!

were consistently at the top and sounded exactly like what we wanted for our day. I created a (very problematic) wedding playlist and sent it to Ryan to give him the general vibe of what we were going for. In the same breath of giving him this playlist that is not meant for a broad audience (mostly my mom), asked him if he could make it as minimally offensive as possible. I have no idea how he did it, but he made it happen (with my mom on the dance floor the whole time, which is unheard of). I am still getting compliments about the playlist and how good Ryan was. It wasn't just the song choices that were perfect, but how he mixed them. The dance floor was full the whole night, and we could not have had a better time. I also had to give him a few last minute changes, and he was able to accommodate them without issue! He was truly the perfect DJ, and I cannot recommend him enough!

ing I didn’t have to worry about!

the piano. He was also able to play special requests we had on the piano as well. It was fantastic. I gave Ryan a playlist but also mentioned to feel the crowd and choose other songs too. He had everyone dancing! I would highly recommend Ryan for any sort of event!

spectacular. Ryan was an integral part of our wedding and had such a massive impact on making it the best day of our lives!

Ryan to zero in on the kind of party my wife and I were hoping for. He made last minute adjustments when the day was rainy and got our guests moving in spite of the cold, all without offending the grandmas. His wedding service was the perfect mix of personal and professional. He took a genuine interest in what was such an important day for us and has been a warm greeting around town in the years since. BOOK THIS DUDE!

and what it was we wanted for our wedding and did everything in his power to make it happen. He spun every track that we requested as well as the songs our guests requested. He has a deep knowledge of music and has immense talent which shows as he is spinning tracks and keeping the party lively! Honestly, many of our guests mentioned they were entertained just watching Ryan DJ. We were lucky to have him on our special day and I would recommend him without any hesitation! Seriously, he is the best and you need him at your wedding, birthday, graduation, or whatever event you are having.

ted to hear and dance to. We received so many compliments about how fun our wedding was and it wouldn’t have been such a great party without him as our DJ. We are so thankful for the memories you helped us create. Thank you, Ryan!

ion of our wedding, and he was able to match the music absolutely perfectly. And he even threw in a last minute special request for our bridal party entrance that we so appreciated. Ryan is a professional, and an excellent choice for any special event!

y professional.

work with, professional, and chose great songs that brought all of my guests on the dance floor! I recommend him very highly!

nyl only sessions at micro-breweries to crazy high energy dance parties. Ryan is a master at reading a crowd and the atmosphere of any event. I know he will nail whatever vibe you are looking for. His ability to play for a wide range of people and types of events ensures that he can match whatever type of wedding you hope to pull off. For our wedding, Ryan helped us with our goal, a giant dance party of friends and family who otherwise wouldn't or don't dance. We gave him a do not playlist, talked about our goals and he made it all happen. Ryan is also a super calm and collected professional. His relaxed and easy-going demeanor is a real asset to anyone who is stressed about planning a wedding. Checkout Ryan online and make sure you look at his creative skills. He brings so much more to an event than a traditional wedding DJ. I am always impressed with Ryan's music ventures and know that you would be lucky to have him DJ your wedding.

ldn't honor the contract and perform. We scrambled to find a new DJ a few weeks out from our ceremony. Ryan was recommended to us and went above and beyond. He was kept lines of communication open and was quick to respond. His rates were great for the services he provided and using the limited playlist we sent over, he was able to make an amazing set. He also did a great job of reading the room and kept the dance floor full and moving. If you're having a wedding/event in the VA area, Ryan should be your first call. I cannot recommend Ryan enough!

ngs...he takes time to make sure they all flow from one another and it was a special treat to hear some of the custom remixes he put together to match our playlist which is an added benefit of hiring a DJ who really knows how to spin vinyl. It was great to be able to get all my late night party friends on the dance floor to dance like no one was watching. Thanks, Ryan! You were better than the icing on our wedding cake.

dinner, which was super pleasant. We also asked him beforehand if was willing to host the shoe game for us and of course he obliged. Ryan always kept the beats going with his excellent song selection. I can't recall a single time where there wasn't anyone on the dance floor.

o list required either. Ryan knows all the best songs and besides reading the crowd well, he takes request! I not only recommend Ryan for your wedding, but any event where music is played!
