World Class Talent Wow! Words can’t express how Ryan made our magical wedding day all the more special. Ryan is truly special talent with an incredible voice. We received Numerous compliments from our guests on how great the singer was and how we found him. Not only did he nail our first dance song, he was very accommodating with all of our song requests. Ryan was very attentive throughout the night and arrived early setting up which put us at ease. He was always quick to respond to emails throughout the process. I highly recommend Ryan and would choose him again in a heartbeat. Thanks again Ryan, you knocked it out the park!!! Tanya and Eric 10/12/24

Ryan was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very start. Responded timely, was accommodating and very professional. All that before he sang a single note, and he absolutely crushed the vocals. We received a ton of compliments and my wife is still smiling 3 days later. Ryan, thank you for making our anniversary party a night we will not forget.
