Where do we even begin to explain how awesome Ryan is?! Seriously, Ryan made our special day so much fun and memorable! He learned to play our favorite songs and performed them wit...
h such beauty. He was very communicative leading up to the wedding making sure that he could make our day flawless, of which he went beyond expectations! We did a live music DJ combo, and his partner for DJing was also fantastic! He knew how to keep the crowd engaged and read the room very well. All our guests commented on how incredibly talented Ryan is and how he made our day so much more special. Ryan ended the night by playing my favorite song he learned for our wedding and ended the night on the absolute most perfect note. If you want live music, Ryan will go above and beyond all expectations and will make your wedding so much more beautiful!
Ryan is a musical genius! We were so happy to have him play our wedding! He used live acoustic for the ceremony and cocktail hour and then was also accompanied by DJ Jack who provi...
ded a ton of energy and fun for the reception. We gave him freedom and he took the reigns and played acoustic during the ceremony as well. He is so talented, personable and just a great guy and he helped make our night one that my wife and I will never forget!
Ryan is an amazing singer and so great to work with!!! He sang and played acoustic guitar for our ceremony and then went to the reception site to play and sing during cocktail hou...
r. We received so many complements on his performance. It was truly wonderful!!!!! I cannot say enough great things about Ryan!
We selected Ryan as our reception musician early in the process. We had seen him playing at other local festivals and loved the thought of having an acoustic guitar at our wedding....
We were blown away by Ryan's professionalism, flexibility and song selection. He was even willing to learn a different version of a song for our first dance. We would highly recommend using Ryan for your wedding!
I found Ryan when he was playing for a different wedding. He played covers of songs that I loved and I instantly wanted him for our wedding. I grabbed his card that night, and admi...
ttedly it took me a few weeks to email him. When I finally did, he emailed back the same day. We moved forward pretty quickly with our contract/booking process but everything was so smooth and upfront, I didn't have many questions. Ryan sent me a list of 15+ pages of songs that he already knows. I felt a little guilty, but I chose 3 songs, not on that list for the ceremony and he was totally open to learning them for us. He was very upfront about some of the songs not sounding exactly the same, due to his range vs. the actual song. I was glad he at least told me and was up front, but I trusted him, especially after hearing him once already. Ryan also played for our cocktail hour - he worked with our DJ, which was so simple and Ryan reached out to him, so benefit right there - one less step for me!
Every single step of booking Ryan was worth it and so smooth. While very casual and direct, Ryan was always open and professional, which totally worked perfectly for us! Our friends and family loved the music and him! I had so many people asking about Ryan and how we found him. So, so, SO happy!
Can't wait to go see him play again, hopefully for someone else; at their wedding. Otherwise, we will definitely be finding him somewhere around town!

Ryan played at our ceremony and was wonderful! Definitely would recommend him to anyone. He played acoustic guitar for background music and we had him sing a song during the ceremo...
ny - it was all excellent. Having a professional there in person definitely added to the experience for everybody. Thanks Ryan!
Ryan was amazing at our wedding. My wife and I put together a list of songs we liked and worked with Ryan consistently leading up to the big day. He nailed it. Our wedding was A...
ugust of 2015, and I still get comments from friends about the music at our wedding. Everyone wanted to know where we found this guy. Thanks Ryan, you helped make our day perfect!!
My wedding was on September 19th, 2015, in Sturtevant, WI. My husband and I hired Ryan McIntyre for music on our wedding day. We knew we wanted our wedding to be memorable and we k...
new that making the right selection for our music would make all the difference. We had been to a few of Ryan’s gigs and we just had to have Ryan as the musician for our wedding day.
Ryan’s voice was absolutely perfect for the church. I recently watched our video back and I still can’t get over how perfect the music was! The combination of his soothing voice and the acoustic guitar in the church with cathedral ceilings was incredible. Not only did we hire Ryan to play for our church ceremony, but we also hired him for our cocktail hour and reception. Yes, that’s right, the whole package, just one person to coordinate with for the entire day. If you’re planning your wedding yourself like I did, this is a huge bonus! Plus, with Ryan’s talent, why would you want to hire someone else for the reception?!
After the ceremony, Ryan made his way over to the reception hall to set up for cocktail hour. He played solo for our guests during cocktail hour while they were gathering and waiting for the rest of the night to begin. There was quite a bit of time between the ceremony and dinner so we wanted our guests to be entertained. Ryan did a great job because we did not get a single complaint about the lengthy time in between the ceremony and dinner.
After dinner and wedding party dances, the real party got started on the dance floor! Part of making sure our wedding was memorable was making sure that the dance floor wasn’t empty. Ryan and the band did such a great job with judging the crowd that the dance floor was never empty the entire night…not even once! The combination of his DJ service and playing live music kept the guests engaged and out dancing the night away! The live band playing at the reception amplified the energy in the hall…it was an absolute blast!
Overall, if I had to plan my wedding all over again, I would hire Ryan in a heartbeat! Our number one compliment from our wedding was “your band was awesome!” I was beyond impressed with the services that Ryan provided! If you want your music to be perfect for your wedding day, you will want to hire Ryan McIntyre!
Ryan is an excellent musician we had seen before at different venues. Ryan plays acoustic guitar and does vocals. He can play most songs from the 70's til now. Everyone of our gue...
sts thought he was great, too. I actually had Ryan help me with the proposal as well. I had given him some songs to play and a time and location to be at. I had dinner with my wife one night and had had Ryan waiting across the river at the Bronze Fonze. We walked up and Ryan just happened to be there playing my future wife's favorite songs. That is when I got down on one knee and popped the question. Thanks to Ryan, my proposal went off perfectly.
