“We hired DJ Ryan for our wedding in early May 2026 at Rumbling Bald at Lake Lure, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our entire day. My wife and I both have extensive musical backgrounds, so finding a DJ who could truly collaborate with us on the music was incredibly important. Ryan didn't just meet that bar; he blew right past it.
From our very first phone call through the last song, Ryan was exceptional. He handled our pre-processional music, processional, ceremony audio, cocktail hour, reception, and post-reception dance party with the same level of care throughout.
We didn't have an official wedding planner, so Ryan went above and beyond by reviewing our day-of plans, serving as a sounding board, identifying potential timeline issues, and helping coordinate with our other vendors. He took an enormous amount off our plates.
Working with Ryan felt less like hiring a vendor and more like collaborating with a creative partner. We discussed the exact atmosphere we wanted and gave him playlists, must-plays, like-to-plays, and absolute do-not-plays. He nailed all of it.
One of our favorite moments happened when my wife and I stepped away for sunset photos. Many family members hadn't seen each other in a long time and were catching up. Rather than fight that energy with upbeat music, Ryan recognized what was happening and shifted into softer songs from artists he knew we loved. When we returned, he read the room again and brought everyone right back onto the dance floor. Later, he played “Love Train” and got everyone into a Conga line. Kids, parents, grandparents, and everyone in between joined in. It was one of the highlights of the night.
Ryan also handled our outdoor ceremony flawlessly. We were right on the water with a steady breeze and occasional strong gusts, yet there was no noticeable wind noise or feedback. He made sure both our officiant and I were properly miked and adjusted the processional levels perfectly.
As our MC, Ryan introduced the wedding party, announced toasts, and cued our dances and bouquet toss without a hitch. We have a big, loud, rambunctious family, and he kept everything moving without ever making the night feel rushed.
He even handled a venue snafu during the cake cutting. When he realized the venue hadn't put out plates or utensils and our cake-cutting song wouldn't last through the delay, he calmly explained the situation and offered solutions to bridge the gap. What could have been an awkward moment became a total non-issue.
And then there was the dance party. I can say with complete confidence that Ryan is the best wedding DJ I have ever experienced. His song selection and ability to read the room were perfect all night. At most weddings, someone has a complaint about the DJ. At ours, everyone—from kids to grandparents—agreed Ryan was phenomenal.
Ryan and Remix Weddings were also completely upfront about pricing. While other vendors surprised us with additional costs, Ryan and his team were clear and honest from the beginning. Given the talent, professionalism, and care he brought, he was extremely reasonably priced.
A wedding is a massive investment, and choosing Ryan means you get to actually enjoy your day instead of worrying about it. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and will recommend him to every engaged friend we have in the Asheville area. We cannot recommend him enough.
Thank you, Ryan, for helping make our day so incredible. We are forever grateful.”
