Ryan at Social Sound was great to work with! Ryan went above and beyond to stay communicative and schedule virtual meetings to ensure that he could achieve our expectations AND actually get to know us as a couple. He was helpful with ideas and when it came down to the day of the wedding, he was able to improvise for some things that we did not think about as the Bride and Groom! (The bouquet toss and garter toss songs!) The day of was phenomenal and we received so much feedback about how fun and exciting our reception was and there's no way that would have been doable without Ryan. We will be recommending him to all our family and friends for events and weddings!

Wow! This band is AMAZING!! They were the hit of our wedding and kept the dance floor packed all night! We still have people coming up to us, three years later, talking about how great the band was! If you want a professional, super fun, and crazy talented band, definitely book with Social Sound!

We had a terrific experience with Ryan Messling at Social Sound. Ryan was incredibly helpful throughout the process and during the event. He was professional, organized, and attentive to every detail. He knew exactly how to read the crowd, creating the perfect vibe for each part of the evening.
Ryan went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and displayed enthusiasm and passion during our event. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding and would highly recommend him for any event!

Ryan was so incredibly kind, communicative, and helpful with our DJ services for our wedding! Whenever we had questions about our timeline or what we wanted in terms of music, announcement, planning, etc- he was always so communicative and helpful with answering all our questions. He was also so accommodating to all our needs and what we needed for our big day. Through all the wedding planning stress, he made it so easy for the DJ/music/ceremony part. So so happy I discovered Ryan at a bridal show and was able to book him!

Ryan was absolutely amazing! He was super easy to communicate with and made planning out the music for both our ceremony and reception a breeze! He had everything so well organized for us which definitely helped among all the other stresses of wedding planning! We were a bit of a drive for him but he made the trip for us with all his equipment and was there to set up and test things out the night before at our rehearsal. His set up looked great and he matched the look of our wedding really well with simple but very cool lighting and discreet, high quality sound equipment that blended nicely with the decor. I hadn’t really put much thought into us needing microphones for the ceremony and how any of that works but he already had that covered and made sure everything was going to sound great! Ryan was able to play all the songs we wanted for our ceremony all perfectly timed! He also put together an awesome mix of music for our reception based on our requests. Everyone loved the dance music he played and we got many compliments on it at and after the wedding! He did a wonderful job with MCing and was ready for every special moment and announcement throughout the event. We had to make some last minute changes to the order of events during our reception due to some complications with our caterer but he adjusted to them easily and made sure our guests knew what was going on and when things like dinner, cake cutting, dances and bouquet toss would take place. Ryan was so nice to work with; incredibly helpful, communicative, organized, prompt, fun, and all we could’ve asked for! I’m so glad we had him as our DJ

What a great performance! The band was amazing and played all the songs we love. Ryan is professional, punctual, and easy to work with. The difference a live band makes over just a dj really made our wedding extra special. Definitely recommend

Steven, thank you for the kind words. You were easy clients to work with and a pleasure to...

I would 100% recommend Social Sound for your wedding or event! Ryan was so thorough in gathering all of our musical requests, and then he coordinated the music throughout the entire day! He dj'd our ceremony, coordinated a small jazz combo for cocktail hour, and then turned our reception into a party with an 8-person band. They were able to get so many people dancing, that we almost could have used a bigger dance floor! If finding the right musical entertainment for your wedding is stressing you out, let Ryan and his team put your mind at ease!

so happy to be a part of your very specialized and personal day. From the ceremony and jazz trio to the party band to end the night. Thank you for trusting us with your vision!

The Coastal Crusaders and Social Sound Live were exactly the band that we were looking for to complete our amazing wedding day. Ryan and his crew were extremely professional in their interactions, timely with communication and entertained all of our requests during the planning process! On our wedding day, they came on time, rehearsed and even played a little during dinner when our separate cocktail hour guitarist had to stop to eat. We had a unique wedding that involved a modern dance performance and they accompanied the performance perfectly. The band even helped with playing the recorded songs for a surprise tap dance and mother-son dance! When the set list had to be shifted a little, they went with the flow. Our dance floor was packed all night and it was all thanks to the energy and vitality of these musicians. All our guests were impressed with their performance and couldn't stop talking about our wedding reception for days. Thank you Coastal Crusaders and Social Sound Live for creating the dance party of our dreams. If you need a band for your event - don't hesitate to pick these musicians! - The Soderlinds (9/3/22)
