About Prairie and Peak Events

Prairie and Peak Events

Wedding Planner

Ryan, a Montana native, founded Prairie & Peak with the vision of fusing local knowledge and his love for the state with his extensive experience in wedding industry. After more than 17 years and 700+ weddings as both a Wedding Planner and Wedding DJ, Ryan has had the unique opportunity to gain experience and wedding knowledge that is not often found in the industry. His approach to event production blends creativity with logistical expertise. Specializing in transforming weddings into immersive, multi-day experiences that reflect each couple’s unique story, ensuring their celebration is not just an event but an unforgettable experience.

What sets Ryan and Prairie & Peak apart is unmatched experience in the wedding industry. Starting as a Wedding DJ, I averaged over 45 weddings per year across Montana, learning firsthand what works and doesn't work at a wedding. Often misunderstood, a great DJ does more than play music at a wedding—they truly run the night! By reading the energy of the guests and seamlessly adjusting the flow, they are able to maintain a smooth and memorable event. Combined with Ryan’s passion for the outdoors, love of Montana, and deep local knowledge, you’ll receive a service that’s uniquely tailored to create an unforgettable wedding experience.

In three words: Creative, Organized, Resourceful

    Can't say enough good things about Ryan and his team at Prairie and Peak Events!!! Truly made our day seamless, stress-free, and so fun! Not to mention so many of my guests said it was one of hte best weddings they've been to because it was smooth, relaxed, and special. Ryan has so much experience and advise to offer, and he thought of so many things; I could not have done it all without him.

    Prairie and Peak Events were an invaluable partner in planning our wedding. From the start, their communication was responsive, clear, and consistent, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and comprehensive approach was truly impressive - when hiccups with other vendors occurred, Ryan immediately took these off our plate and handled them himself. Ryan also created a detailed map of where our guests were staying and arranged transportation for them to and from the wedding, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. The team at Prairie and Peak Events was efficient and attentive, making their services feel truly indispensable. We cannot recommend them highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.

    Ryan and his team were the event planning team for my sister's wedding- I was the officiant. The entire team was organized and in communication with us and each other quickly and completely. They were very knowledgeable and very responsible. He helped me to improve the ceremony and ensured the entire event went smoothly- my sister and her husband had a great time and were fully able to enjoy every moment thanks to Ryan and his team- Thank you!

    We couldn’t be more grateful to Ryan and his team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable! From the very beginning, Ryan listened carefully to our ideas and offered thoughtful suggestions to ensure we had time to enjoy each other and connect with our guests throughout the day. All we had to do was bring our decorations, and his team took care of the rest—setting up everything from the arbor to the centerpieces, and even handling the teardown and cleanup at the end of the night. Thanks to them, our day was completely stress-free. I was able to relax and enjoy mimosas with my bridesmaids while my husband played a round of golf with his groomsmen that morning. Ryan was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process, always just a message away. He even kept us updated if he’d be unavailable, ensuring we were never left hanging. To this day, my husband and I still talk about how lucky we were to have Ryan and his team by our side. If there were any hiccups on our wedding day, we never noticed—because Ryan was always one step ahead, making sure everything ran smoothly. We truly can’t recommend him enough!
