Reviews

"Ryan Thero is a consummate professional who sets the bard high in everything he does. His energy is contagious, his preparation is unmatched, and his values shine through in every interaction. I’ve seen firsthand the dedication and integrity he brings to his work. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about delivering exceptional results, Ryan is your guy."

-Eddie D. Corporate trainer and Coach.

"Ryan was great to deal with. Very professional and patient with all our questions. He knows what he is doing. Don’t hesitate to work with him."

-Mike B. Business Owner Music Sales and Training

"Ryan Thero exceeded our expectations as not only a DJ, but as our wedding coordinator. Before the wedding date, he was very flexible in meeting with us to talk over all of our options and answer all of our many questions. And not only questions about his services, but how weddings work in general, since we had no idea how to plan out many of the details for the wedding day, like the timeline, how much time to plan for what, how to delegate jobs, etc. He is extremely knowledgeable about how weddings work and was extremely helpful and essential to our planning process."

-Adam and Stephanie - Bride and Groom

"Ryan was so amazing from the first time we met with him to the actual event. He paid attention to detail, did all that we requested and more, and kept the reception rolling. We would have been so lost without him! He seriously goes above and beyond in every way. I had tons of guests, wedding party members and family come up to me and say "this is the best DJ ever!". I would recommend Ryan to my closest friends and that's saying a lot! I'm super happy that he was my DJ!"

Samantha and Cory - Bride and Groom

"Ryan was the best part of our wedding! He brought an infectious energy and enthusiasm that got even my conservative guests ready to dance. Ryan was extremely organized and had all of the wedding planning bases covered. He came so well prepared, and was very knowledgeable about the process. His equipment was top notch. He provided the uplighting at our reception which made the room look like a fairy tale. Out of all of our vendors for my wedding, Ryan was by far the best. He met with us in person multiple times because I wanted to go over song selections and order of events. He made the day and night flow smoothly and boy, was our reception a blast! I couldn't have asked for a better, more professional, hands on, invested, knowledgeable, energetic DJ."
