We booked Ryan as our wedding DJ. Right from the first enquiry Ryan was really responsive with great communication. We felt that Ryan really listened to what we wanted in terms of music style so he had everyone up dancing. During our pre-wedding call, Ryan was really helpful with suggestions for music for key moments. Would highly recommend, thanks Ryan.

We had an amazing experience with Ryan our wedding DJ so easy to work with throughout the whole process. The music was spot on all night and he played everything on our playlist, which meant so much to us. The fantastic lighting really complemented our venue and looked incredible at night—it added such a special atmosphere. Everything flowed perfectly from cutting the cake, mum and daughter dance our first dance the energy never dropped. Super professional, and honestly helped make our wedding unforgettable. Highly recommend!”

So pleased our venue recommended Ryan as our wedding DJ. Despite it being one of the hottest days in a very long time, Ryan had everyone on the dance floor and having the best time. He listened to our music preferences and played some amazing songs. I would highly recommend Ryan, especially if you have an alternate music taste, although he still plays all types of music so that there’s something for everyone. Thank you so much!

Hi Mollie,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! It really was a brilliant day of sunshine, but I was absolutely thrilled to see everyone braving the heat and bringing so much energy to the dance floor.

I absolutely loved working with your alternative music requests. It's always a lot of fun mixing things up to ensure you get to hear the tracks that mean the most to you.

It is always an honor to be recommended by the venue, especially Bradbury Glade, and playing for fantastic couples like you reminds me exactly why I love what I do.

Congratulations again on your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Best wishes,
Ryan

Ryan played at our wedding. Although the guests weren't very enthusiastic, the music was great. I asked for a selection of Brazilian songs and he managed to put together a good set, even with a short amount of time. Thank you very much.

Hi Mariana,

Thank you so much for the lovely review!

Every crowd is different, but I was so glad to be there to provide the soundtrack for your big day. I'm really glad you enjoyed the music, but I definitely can't take the credit for the Brazilian set - that was all down to your fantastic playlist! It was a lot of fun working with the tracks you provided and making sure your favourites were front and centre.

Thank you again for having me, and wishing you both the absolute best for the future!

Best wishes,
Ryan

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Ryan from Impress Events. He worked seamlessly with our venue (Tapyard, Hoults Yard, Newcastle) and helped us create the exact first dance moment we’d dreamed of—even editing the song to shorten it perfectly. Ryan kept the energy high and the dance floor full all night. He even made space for a surprise “dog dance” that my best friend requested, and our must plays were peppered into the mix perfectly! He was always easy to get in touch with, understood our vibe right away, and truly delivered the perfect soundtrack for our celebration. The lighting provided helped set the mood, and helped with our photo corner too! We danced the night away, and our guests had an incredible time too. Thanks again, for making our evening unforgettable!

Ryan was a fantastic wedding DJ. He listened to the types of music that we liked (a combination of classic wedding disco, pop and alternative) and seamlessly integrated them all including some ‘definite’ songs we had. Ourselves and guests had a wonderful time at the wedding and the dance floor was never empty for five hours thanks to Ryan! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, an excellent DJ. Professional and didn’t miss with song choices, thank you so much!

Hi Heather,
Thank you so much for the lovely review! I had such a brilliant time DJing your wedding, the mix of classic disco, pop, and alternative tunes worked perfectly with your crowd. Having the dance floor packed for five hours straight was incredible, and I’m so glad you and your guests had such a great night. I really appreciate you having me there and it was an absolute pleasure!

We booked Ryan for our wedding at Runa farm, and he was nothing short of amazing! He completely nailed the tone of the evening — reading the crowd perfectly and keeping everyone on the dance floor. He took us on a musical journey from Dolly to Evanescence, letting us all relive our teenage years in the best way possible. We wanted a more alternative DJ and Ryan did not disappoint. After the wedding, so many of our guests told us how much they loved the DJ — everyone had an incredible time! Ryan truly made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t have found a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, Ryan was absolutely brilliant — friendly, professional, and completely on the ball. He catered to all our picky requests and perfected the music on the night! The lights were spot on too, exactly what we were after, and our guests were complimenting him all night. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more — highly recommended!

Dan Jenkins 2025.10.29

     

Ryan was our DJ in July this year for our wedding at Grantley Hall, and wow what a day! From start to finish he made everything so easy for us. He got in touch before the wedding to go through everything in detail and even made suggestions we hadn’t thought about that worked perfectly on the day. You can tell he’s done thousands of weddings because the whole thing ran so smoothly, and he just gets the whole flow of a night so easily. The dance floor was full from the first dance to the very last song. Every generation was up dancing with us and even the people we never thought we’d see on the floor were loving it. Ryan, you honestly made our night special, thank you very much for that! You will have a lifetime of recommendations from us!

Ryan did an absolutely brilliant job DJ'ing at our wedding. Once booked we arranged a call, and as soon as we spoke, I knew we were in safe hands. He was very professional, and asked about our music preferences, but was full of suggestions on what works well. He did a great job and the dance floor was full all night, across all ages. I've since had loads of compliment about how good the music was. So many people were dancing that I haven't seen dance for years. Even my brother - nothing short of a miracle!

Thank you so much, Tania! From our call I knew your night would be special, and I’m glad the planning made everything feel easy. I loved seeing the dance floor full across all ages, and hearing that even your brother got up to dance made my night. Really appreciate all the lovely compliments from your guests too. Thanks for having me!

Ryan, what a DJ! You absolutely smashed it from start to finish and we can’t thank you enough! The music was non-stop bangers all night, and when you threw in a Christmas song for us, we loved every second!💃🎄 Your communication in the lead up to our wedding day was amazing and you really took the time to understand our likes (and dislikes!). You created the perfect playlist, that kept everyone dancing! All of our guests even commented on how incredible your mixes were. The fact we even got an encore at the end of the night, is something we’ll remember forever! 🙌 Your setup and lighting made the barn look stunning and you brought the perfect vibe from start to finish. We honestly can’t thank you enough for making our evening reception everything we hoped for! You were incredible and we can’t recommend you enough!🎶🪩
