Celebrant / Solo / DJ
“Ryan was nothing short of amazing
Through every literal fall, crazy wind, change of plans, song request etc he was quick to offer solutions and all with a smile on his face. In under a week since our wedding – I have had over a dozen comments from guests commending the hell out of Ryan and his ability to wear so many hats at the event. Stating he is the best celebrant they’ve ever seen at a wedding.
I selfishly chose Ryan because we loved his voice and he offered celebrancy also. I thought ‘one less thing to organise’.
I could not have made a better choice. His incredible talent singing, charming and fun nature whilst hosting the ceremony as celebrant, on point organisation within the wedding schedule, entertaining MC and a brilliant DJ!
How I found him, I cannot remember but I will never stop recommending this guy!!”

Celebrant / Solo / Trio
“Ryan was so easy going and extremely well prepared and professional. He was so accommodating and was so helpful with little extra things i had asked for help with to make special moments for our big day! His voice was something a lot of my guests commented on and everyone thought he was amazing. He had a good mix of older bangers and newer ones to keep every age group at the wedding happy with the music and im so thankful we got to have him be apart of our day. Thank you Ryan myself and Adam are so happy you were able to entertain on our wedding day.”

Celebrant/ Solo / Trio
We hired Ryan for our wedding to be our wedding celebrant, our MC and musician/ band. From the moment we booked him, he has been nothing but helpful and was happy to make any changes to help us make our special day everything we could hope for. On the day he made our day stress free by making sure we didn’t miss anything and that we stuck to our itinerary as planned. We got many compliments from guests about how professional Ryan was at the ceremony while also keeping it short and sweet. He kept all our guests entertained with his solo performance while we were off getting photos. Then he topped off the night when the trio started and had guests of all ages up on the dance floor. We couldn’t recommend Ryan enough. He’s extremely laid back while also keeping things very professional.
