Matt Ryan was organized, polite, and prompt. Upon booking with Matt, we received an online form to fill out that contained a timeline of our wedding day. We also specified which songs we wanted to be played for parts of the day involving music (first dances, cake cutting, etc.). The form has a section where we could specify songs we liked and disliked, and Matt creates a playlist based off of that information. Matt also allows guests to make requests both prior to the wedding via an online form and during the wedding as dancing takes place. We loved that Matt was the type of DJ who helped the night run smoothly, meaning he informed guests of only pertinent information, like when the first dances were occurring and how our big exit would take place. Other than that, he let the party happen organically and blended into the night, simply providing the soundtrack and making sure everyone had a good time by playing their requests. He gave us professional advice on which type of sound equipment would be needed and which location would need it, and he also arrived at our venue two hours in advance of being needed to meet with the venue coordinators and to set up his equipment. Every email we sent was responded to within 24 hours, often within minutes of sending it. Our meetings were easy and straightforward. If you're looking for a DJ who will facilitate a party but still appears to have a hands off approach, Matt is your guy. During the day of the wedding, Matt would come to me to let me know what time it was and that it was time to transition to the next event. He would double check with me to make sure he carried out instructions correctly. He was the perfect DJ and we can't say enough great things about him! Thanks, Matt and Zach, for making our reception fun for all!
