Testimonials

"I just wanted to thank you for a great job you did Saturday night!  I bet I was the most anxious mother ever, but within an hour you had me forgetting all about my worries about this or that and just having fun.  Your experience in dealing with different people and personalities shows and that’s why every gig you do is so memorable.  Everyone talked about it afterwards how you knew just how to read the crowd and give them what they wanted to get them up and dancing and enjoying the evening—so much so that even when you left for the night, I had to kick out the excess partiers because the room was shutting down!  We have memories we will never forget and you made it possible. Thank you again—you are the GREATEST!!"
Diane Gilmore, Springfield, TN

Also, he took requests and offered karaoke. AND he had an option where guests could text a message to me and my husband that would appear on screen. I stayed on the dance floor all night. It was SO much fun :)"

He was worth every penny and went above and beyond our expectations. He took a lot of pressure off of my wife and I because he was able to control the entire group from his post. His use of lighting, music, pictures, and even texting made it a great night. I would recommend him to anyone for his quality of service, flexibility, cost, and professionalism. He is an all around nice guy. Thanks for a great wedding Rick."

Lindsay Byrd - Franklin, TN

"We hired Rick to Dj our wedding reception a few weeks ago. I had never seen him live, so admittedly, I was a little nervous. When we showed up to the reception he had lighting set up which made it fun, the projector screen running with the slide show as promised and was very professionally, yet stylishly dressed. The music we had chosen was just as we had asked and the guests seem to really enjoy the atmosphere as well. I loved that he took photos during the reception and then loaded them immediately to be added to the montage of pictures already being shown on the project screen. It made for a very nice evening. I would fully recommend him for any event you might need a live entertainer or DJ for. He's excellent at what he does and the best around when it comes to price! I searched for over a month and could not find anyone with a better price than him. For what you are getting he should be charging more! But that is how awesome he is, that he is fair with his price. Great job Rick! I would hire you again in a heartbeat!"
Brittany Jade Getchell - Powder Springs, GA

"The DJ, Rick Ryan was PERFECT for this group!  As the night went on, he took candid photos of guests at the reception which he projected onto a screen for all guests to see!  FANTASTIC!  He also had a "text to" phone number for requests which remained on the screen the entire time - so shy guests could dedicate and request songs throughout the night.  He had someone dancing at all times during the night!  Even the Ohio State fans were on the floor... I never knew the tie to "Hang on Sloopy" by the McCoys - learned something new!"
Kara Torphy - Hermitage, TN

"Hi Rick, just wanted to thank you for a great job at my daughters wedding. (August 29) Amber and Ryan really had a great time. The guest really enjoyed the music, dancing and the pictures you took at placed on the computer. Thank you again and I will be sure to spread your name."

"Rick was Great! He was very friendly and easy to work with. I even threw in a last minute song request that wasn't on his playlist and he got it for me. The lighting and bubbles were a big hit. The kids loved him. I would highly recommend him especially for a family friendly party. There were no surprises. Rick Ryan was exactly what you expect him to be. Down to earth, professional and a talented musician. With his reasonable rates and talent I can't imagine finding a better deal anywhere. I would definitely hire him again. Thanks Rick for making my husbands 40th birthday a big hit."
Theresia C - Hendersonville, TN

"Rick, I do not know where to begin. You go above and beyond in all that you do for our school. The dance was our first at the school and was a huge success both as a fundraiser and a social skills activity. The lights and music were terrifc. It was a great selection of music for the students-very appropriate but fun to dance to. The students are still talking about it and already wanting to plan the next one. "
Carolyn B - Hendersonville, TN

“Hiring Rick to perform live at our wedding reception was one of the best choices we made throughout our wedding planning. He was not only energetic and a great musician, but he was a true professional who was always prompt in returning emails and willing to go above and beyond what we expected. Booking everything via email, I was thrilled to meet Rick the night of the wedding and awestruck by what he did to make the reception perfect. Not only did he drive hundred of miles to play at our reception, but he created and played a slideshow of our childhood photos, set up specialty lighting and effects, and learned a new song for us. If you are looking for a classy, yet energetic entertainer who is responsible and genuinely nice, Rick Ryan is your guy!”
Jodie Bell-Seipp - St. Louis, MO

"Rick played for my husband's 60th Birthday party last weekend. We all had a great time and Rick was a big part of it!

Thanks again for making my husband's night extra special!"

Jack Greene (Grand Ole Opry Star) - Nashville, TN

"Hey Rick - thanks for playing at the dinner banquet our national convention held here in Nashville at the Sommet Center.  There were well over 200 people and I know each of them enjoyed the music, and your interaction really got folks up and going. I've received many, many compliments, including 'best ever' of this annual convention and your show undoubtedly added to that perception.  Not only a great (and seriously fun!) show, but importantly to a host of a event of this magnitude, you were very professional - you were where you needed to be when you needed to be there without a single hitch - thanks"
Dan Danielson - Nashville, TN

"Rick, Sorry it has taken so long for me to send you some pictures from my party – we’ve been partying for two weeks!  Wow!  All of my friends are saying my birthday party was the best they have been to!  I’ve also heard many people say they haven’t danced that much in years – I think we went 5 hours straight!!!  It was sooooo fun!  The people who Karaoke’d just loved it!  I see you have the video on your website, well I’m also sending you some photos we took.  It will be talked about for some time.  Everyone is asking for your number for their upcoming events.  Thanks for making it so special and a GREAT TIME!"
Sharon Long - Knoxville, TN

"Thank you for performing at our wedding and reception.  We were really very fortunate to have you there.  We appreciate all you did to get ready for the day given the short time frame.  You made it very easy for us to work with you via email and phone since you were in TN, Doug was in AL and I was in GA.  I was impressed that I could just give you a list of songs and you took care of everything.  It's amazing what all you can do as a solo entertainer!  Thank you for your flexibility with the setup for the outdoor wedding, too.  We know it was very hot that day and we appreciate you sweating it out so we'd have more room under the gazebo.  We will certainly keep you in mind for any future events we may have or to mention to friends looking for someone to perform."
Natalie Litavec - Huntsville, AL

"Rick Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the great job you did at our son`s wedding reception.

Everyone gave you rave reviews and thoroughly enjoyed your selection of music and were very comfortable working with you. Again,let me say THANKS and encourage others considering this type of entertainment to look no further ,they have found the best!"

"Thanks again Rick for making my dad's 50th birthday extra special! I will definitely be calling you for our next event! Our guests thought you were wonderful! Not many people can entertain guests ranging in age from 20-75. I am so glad you were able to come and join us, without you our party would have been boring. It was simply phenomenal!"
Suzanne Dement - Memphis, TN

  "I just wanted to send you a quick email to say Thank you. I am so glad I decided to have you come and play at my party. I do have to say for a solo act you are awesome! You truly made my Birthday very special. You were very professional and yet you were also able to enjoy yourself along with us. As I mentioned to you before the party that the crowd might be smaller than expected and I was a bit nervous about it, my fears quickly disappeared after I saw how you were able to get the "small" crowd going. I am truly impressed with your entertaining skills.I also send many thanks to your friend playing acoustic, I'm glad he had to "get out of the house" that night. You both we awesome! I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for great entertainment. I would love to have you again, if I ever have another party. Thank you again for making my party very very special."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Rick Ryan. He recently performed at my dad's surprise 60th bday party and was an absolute blast. He is a fantastic performer, has tons of energy, and is just a genuinely great guy to deal with. He also made my dad's day by learning one of his favorite songs, with just a couple of days notice, and performing it at the party. And in addition to himself performing, he also has a great karaoke system that allows for people to come up onstage and perform with him. Tons of fun!!!!!"
Cindi Blondell - Chattanooga, TN

"Rick was great to deal with for my wedding. We exchanged a few emails ahead of time telling him what type of music I would like and a general idea of the ceremony. Rick and his wife on piano did and EXCELLENT job with the ceremony music as well as the reception. He even played the song that we requested as our first dance live which was a great surprise for my husband and I. We couldn't have been happier with how the music turned out. Rick took a great deal of stress of my plate during the wedding planning. I would recommend him and his wife. A+++++++ Thank you again!"
