in Tennessee
Anyone know anything good/bad about Rick Ryan? I'm not sure exactly where he is in TN, but I'm in Birmingham, AL and I've been talking to him about DJ-ing our wedding. He seems good, and I like what he has to say so far, I'm just a little skittish about booking someone I won't meet beforehand. TIA!

    He's on FaceBook, and has two videos you can watch and listen to. Looks like a great person to have. There's also lots more info on fb. Hope this helps you out.

    Yes, he's the one who does live and dj performances. Might be kind of cool. Thanks ladies!

    I think some of that could be cheesy, too...I already told him I have no use for a fog machine or a bubble machine! I could care less about the text song requests, although FI likes it. I do like that he said he offered uplighting at no additional charge and a projector screen/photo slideshow or monogram display was built into the cost already. The initial quote was $600 for 4 hours (based on an auto reply from the site), so I asked what he would charge for 6 hours, but he said he's really there as long as we need him, so 6 hours wasn't a problem and it'd still be $600. It sounds like a lot for the money. I hope.

    No, I haven't booked him yet, but I think we're seriously contemplating it. So far we've only talked via email, but I'm going to call him tomorrow so we can discuss details, and maybe I can get a feel for his personality.

    wallace, I talked to him yesterday and he seemed like a really nice guy who knew what he was talking about. I think we'll be booking him shortly. I feel pretty comfortable with it, and he has a lot to offer. We're getting married May 15, 2010 - what about you?

    10/16/10.i am still debating on him. there is a dj, all the right grooves in charlotte nc that doesnt charge much for travel, and the deposit is only $50 that gets all of the the recs from the nc board. i am close to the nc line so i check their board a lot because this one is so dead! anyways i am thinking of using them, at least 10 of the girls on that board have used them and love them! they have prices listed on their website too. check them out! i still want a band :(LOLso torn!

    I know, a band would have been awesome! I actually booked Rick last night. I felt pretty comfortable after talking w/ him, so I hope all goes well!! (fingers crossed haha) On a side note, I'm originally from Charlotte. Not that it helps you any, but just thought I'd throw that out there. I say, if they don't charge much for travel and have gotten good knottie reviews, go for it. GL!

    He only charged 50% to book - so $300. Or you have the option to pay all upfront, but there's really no incentive to do it all at once, so we only paid half.
