Wedding Client
'Ryan sang and our wedding reception. He was amazing from the enquiry process through to his set on the evening. He was clear about what he could offer and explained what would work best with him performing and our DJ. Ryan sang our first dance song for us and it was faultless. He also took into consideration what styles and songs he knew we liked. We couldn’t have asked for a better singer at our wedding. It was a perfect addition for our friends and family arriving at the wedding and starting to get everyone warmed up for the dance floor !! Thank you Ryan! Couldn’t recommend you enough!'. - Laura Western

How authentic and relaxed it was which really set the vibe for the wedding. Everything you did to help with the background music and speeches before the "disco" was so appreciated. It was great to have someone who was so helpful and knew everything that needed doing. We really did have a great time!' - Christina & Ross
