SoCal Wedding Music- Live Music, DJ's, and MC's

ns to what you want and is very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him for any weddings or events!

or, impecatable style, "dance until the sun comes up" DJ style, and his person touch on each and every event. Plus, if you hire him to also play live either for ceremony, cocktail hour, and/or during his DJ set...your guests will remember your event for decades to come! SO, all in all...book him!

or the sharing of his talents and energy on our special day. Working with Ryan was easy and you will recognize immediately that you are dealing with a true professional. Ryan performed live for our wedding and then emceed for the reception...six straight hours of pure perfection. We would recommend hiring Ryan Hiller to perform at your upcoming wedding. Your guests will thank you!

r, DJ, and emcee. I had him DJ during the cocktail hour and reception, and play guitar / sing for dinner. It was PERFECT. We got so many compliments on his cover songs during dinner. For tables who didn’t know each other well, it made things less awkward for them to have entertainment to watch and sing along to. Regarding the planning process, he was responsive and very easy to work with. We only needed one or two phone calls to really get the job done. He was extremely knowledgeable with our venue (La Valencia), and I trusted his judgement with everything. He offered to be as involved or not regarding the song list. I left most of the song choices up to him, which took a lot of pressure off of my and my husband. I never had to worry with Ryan, and that is more than you can ask for in a wedding vendor. I hope I get the change to hear him play again! He really is talented!

expectations and must play/do not play, which he followed perfectly. The day of the wedding, he flawlessly executed our ceremony music, and our guests loved his guitar playing during cocktail hour. Our guests did not get off the dance floor during the entire reception!! Ryan was the best at reading the crowed and playing music that was tailored to our group. We would recommend him 100x over!!

and a half. He then switched to a dj for the reception. We still are getting our friends and family tell us how amazing Ryan was for everything. His live music is off the hook and people felt like we had provided a full concert for the cocktail hour. When it came time for dancing, he totally rocked it. The dance floor was full all night long. You will not regret bringing in Ryan for anything you made need. BD

easy to work with, and an incredibly talented musician.

him. Made the process of selecting songs for all portions of our ceremony and reception easy, and was very accommodating with learning a special request song on short notice. Our guests all enjoyed interacting with him throughout the event. Would definitely recommend!

y. He is professional, courteous and a great communicator. We had Ryan play acoustic guitar for our pre-ceremony, ceremony and cocktail hour. He then switched to DJ dinner and dancing. Every guest came up to tell us how much they loved Ryan and what a talent he was and we could not agree more. His vocal and acoustic skills are amazing and he is just a joy to listen to. He understood the vibe we wanted to create and we could not have been more pleased. The dance floor was never empty. We highly recommend Ryan for your wedding... he is also just a super great guy. Thanks Ryan for making our wedding day so spectacular.

to meet him in person prior to the wedding. But we listened to a ton of his music online and we are now lifelong fans of Ryan Hiller! He performed live for our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, DJed for the reception, and emceed the entire night! His voice and guitar skills are amazing… have a listen for yourself on his websites and YouTube. Even more so than his exceptional musical talent, was his energy! We had a small wedding of about 40 people, which could easily get dull quick. But he kept the vibe alive all night long! We had a couple conversations with him prior to the wedding but gave him minimal direction on the music itinerary. We simply asked him to bring the fun! He delivered the FUN above and beyond! Ryan was so awesome at reading the room, adjusting to the vibe, and playing songs that appealed to the entire group. From the 11-year-old boys to the 84-year-old grandmas, he had nearly everyone on the dance floor the entire night! Many guests (including myself) complained of being sore the next day from dancing so much! All brides have different aspects of their wedding that are more meaningful to them than others… the flowers, the dress, the photos, etc. For us, the priority was the music for a fun dance party and Ryan provided that beyond our expectations. Since the big day our guests keep asking us for a redo in the near future because they had so much fun! Ryan truly made the entire night A BLAST for EVERYONE. We cannot thank him enough for making our wedding day what we had always hoped it would be and much more!

music was fantastic! He has an amazing voice and is super talented. Walking down the aisle to Ryan’s beautiful acoustic version of one of my favorite songs was amazing. In the months leading up to the wedding, he worked closely with us to create the perfect vibe for each portion of the night. Ryan used our input and did a phenomenal job filling in the gaps. He perfectly curated the music to our crowd! Our wedding planner even mentioned that our dance floor was the most popping she’d ever seen! His MC’ing was also great! He made the night go smoothly and everyone had a great time. Ryan was great to work with: very responsive, professional, organized, eager to help, and made the process a smooth as it possibly could be. We will be recommending Ryan to everyone!!

re honestly such a highlight of the evening. The music was awesome and he adjusted based on the crowd that was dancing - he definitely kept us on the dance floor! We had family from Italy and he threw in some Italian songs that we requested. He is/was super responsive and truly a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommend him to all!

or. He also made sure that we were in the loop the entire night. The best part about Ryan is when we were initially meeting and discussing what we wanted for our music he let us be as laid back or in control as we wanted. Can't recommend him enough!

have live music for our ceremony and have a DJ so we were hoping to find someone who could do both and once we saw what Ryan offered we knew he was our guy. Pricing is absolutely fair and worth every single penny, my wife and I can’t recommend him enough. Ryan sent us a contact sheet for all music that would be involved with our ceremony and reception (Father/Daughter dance, Mother/Son dance, entrance, walk down the aisle, etc.). It was very clear and concise and left no room for error. He was able to cater to our needs was very accomodating throughout the whole process. We are also provided an extensive list of the live music Ryan was able to perform with his guitar and he was willing to learn a specific request that was not on his list. During the procession, one of the songs was a bit short due to the length of the aisle and Ryan, on the fly, continued playing a modified version so that no one would notice the mishap. For the reception portion of our wedding we made it clear that we didn’t want any country music but we did want a lot of classic rock, hip hop, and anything to get people dancing. We loved that Ryan gave us the option to cue him if the father/daughter or mother/son dances were going long so he could wrap it up naturally. Ryan kept our dance floor active and fun for 3 hours straight and that was honestly one of our biggest concerns, incredible job! Thank you Ryan for helping make our day so easy, beautiful, and fun. Our guests are still raving about what an amazing day it was.

ally wonderful and he was able to get most everyone on the dance floor. Additionally, Ryan was very easy to communicate with and volunteered his expertise as well as allowing us as a couple to make decisions for our day. I would highly recommend both his live music and dj services.

Ryan is incredibly affordable, especially for how much magic his services add up to your special day. I can’t recommend him enough and my husband and I can’t wait to see him next time he performs in our area!

work with! We had live music for our wedding and dinner, which were incredible and so thankful for being capable to play and sing such a wide range of genres and all of our favorite songs. After dinner, we had him DJ the rest of the night for all of the dancing and reception fun!

er AND wedding. He was able to tailor his music to set the vibe appropriately and while both days had different kinds of music (which is exactly what we wanted), he was equally amazing. Both my entire family and my husband’s still talk about how amazing Ryan was. We can’t wait to book with him again. If you’re looking for exceptional service, a high quality musician, and an event you’ll never forget, seriously- look no further.

alented musician and is very experienced with weddings. We had so many guests tell us how great the music was. Ryan even learned a new song that I (the bride) wanted to walk down the aisle to. Ryan is also easy to work with, and went above and beyond in answering our questions and providing recommendations. Ryan made our wedding so great, keeping good music and good vibes going all through the night. The reception was a non-stop dance party thanks to Ryan. Highly recommend Ryan for your next event!

g to DJ for a couple of hours during the open dancing of the reception. Ryan was beyond accommodating to our needs and was very excited for our EDM themed wedding. There were some minor miscommunications and Ryan cleared them up quickly with grace and ease. He saved the night when our friend got a bit too drunk and started playing songs that were not on our playlist. Ryan has positive and genuine energy and I think that's really important when it comes to choosing such an important role for your wedding. Ryan fulfilled all of our requests and he did amazing. He is dependable and responds quickly to calls and emails. If we have some other opportunity to use his services again we definitely will. We are super grateful that Ryan was a part of our special day. Thanks Ryan!!!

while we were in town. We were blown away by his talent and enthusiasm, and hired him immediately. Throughout the planning process he was extremely professional, organized and helpful. He was also very willing to accommodate any special requests we came up with. We decided very late in the process that we wanted him to learn a song to play and sing for our processional, and without a thought he said yes, and it came off beautifully! He played guitar and sang a variety of current and classic songs (from our choosing) for our cocktail reception, then switched gears and was a DJ extraordinaire for the dancing! He is such a friendly and easy-to-work-with person that it makes every aspect of the wedding planning experience that much more enjoyable! I would give him a 10 out of 10 if I could! Jacque G.

He was super helpful leading up to our wedding, and prepping us for for what was to come.

I would highly recommend using Ryan for your event and cannot wait to see him again play live in San Diego!!

stem for our outside ceremony at a park. He provided microphones and speakers so that everyone would be able to hear well. Ryan played acoustic at our ceremony and then played fun dancing, upbeat classics at our reception. He was able to feel the mood of our crowd and play music to keep the wedding upbeat and everyone dancing! He has an incredible voice and is phenomenal at guitar. We couldn't of picked a better person to do our music at our wedding!

We had the best time thanks to Ryan and can't wait to work with him again in the future! Do yourself a favor and hire him for your next event!

He has a knack for assessing the crowd and making adjustments as necessary. Ultimately a seamless experience and a pleasure to work with. We could not be happier with Ryan’s services and professionalism. Highly recommended!
