Dj Spontaneous is a crowd rocker, and when he provided the entertainment for my wedding in 2016 I didn't sit or eat. He definitely keeps his audience entertained and his transitions into each song are on point.

Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party.

So, I came to Ryan through rec from a friend with very good taste. She told me he was great at creating a vibe, and that was all I needed to hear. I didn’t look into anyone else once Ryan let me know he had my date open. He sends out a pretty comprehensive questionnaire to get a feel for what you want, and he 100% delivers on it. Our wedding was pretty low-key (no official organizer) and Ryan was chill about making announcements, etc. when we checked in with him in the moment. Should I ever need a DJ again, I’ll absolutely hit him up. If anything, I’d probably just let him have more free reign next time. The man knows what he’s doing.
