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

    Cannot recommend Ryan and his team enough!!

    We got married in Bozeman two weeks ago and we truly couldn't have had the amazing wedding day we did without Ryan and his team!! I met with a few planners and knew Ryan was the right choice for us immediately. He was very personable, friendly, and you could tell he knew what he was doing from the first call. We originally hired Ryan for day of coordination and DJing but added full planning services on a few months before the wedding and it was SOO worth it. He took over all vendor communication, planning, design, and went above and beyond to make our day special and stress free. He handled all decor, set up, take down, communication, picking up rentals, EVERYTHING! He even built us wooden poles so we could have bistro lights on the patio of our venue! He thought of absolutely EVERY detail, including so many things I would never have thought of. He was always willing to text or jump on a call and talk through all of our options, listening to our responses, and helping us to come to decisions and get what we really wanted out of our day. He checked on us multiple times throughout the wedding day to see if we needed anything, a drink, etc. He truly made our wedding day and planning experience so much more fun, relaxed, and stress free. He was also an amazing DJ and kept the dance floor full all night! THANK YOU RYAN!!!

    Best vendor team

    We just had our wedding a few days ago and it was everything we could have asked for and more thanks to Ryan and his team! Being from Texas, this was a destination wedding for us and Ryan was there to help with it all! From meeting him a year ago we knew he was the best guy for the job! He coordinated with all of our vendors and ensured everything matched our vision for the day! Not only is he very organized and professional, he is a great guy and new friend to us! We could not be more thankful to Ryan! Thank you highly to the Prairie and Peak team for the most stress free and beautiful day!!

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.

    Money Well Spent

    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.
