A Moment of Magic.
Imagine the lights fading as your favourite song begins, and every friend and loved one holds their breath, waiting for that special first dance. The music starts, and in that perfect moment, you both take centre stage - wrapped in each other’s arms, surrounded by a room of smiling faces. That’s the magic created at Impress Events.

The Soundtrack to Your Wedding.
I’m Ryan, a full-time wedding DJ who's performed at over 1,800 weddings across more than 300 venues in the UK and Europe. I mix live, read the room, and know how to keep every generation dancing from the first dance to the final track. I welcome guest requests (unless you’ve got a ban list, which I’ll strictly enforce).

Three Tailored Packages
Choose from three packages designed to suit a range of weddings and budgets. Every option includes industry-leading sound and lighting, a personalised consultation, and a personalised setlist entirely around your music tastes.

  1. Gold Package: Ideal for smaller weddings or simpler setups. A budget-friendly choice without compromising on quality. From £795.
  2. Signature Package: All-out party vibes with a premium sound system, stylish lighting, and mood-enhancing uplighting to transform your venue as the evening unfolds. From £950.
  3. DJ + Sax Package: Unites the versatility of an experienced DJ playing your favourite tracks, with the dynamic live performance of a saxophonist. From £1500.
    I work with a select few sax players who are the best in the North – trusted and reliable pros who know how to complement a DJ-led wedding night.


Personalised Consultation

I’ll chat through your music tastes, key moments, and timings in a relaxed planning call. I’ll also coordinate directly with your venue and suppliers so everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, leaving you free to enjoy every moment on the day.

Simple, Flexible Booking
Booking is quick and easy. I accept all major credit cards (including AMEX - honeymoon points, anyone?) and bank transfer. I know wedding plans can change, and I'm happy to adapt to any last-minute changes, even on the day itself.

Ryan has been absolutely amazing throughout the planning process, very approachable, friendly and professional. On the day itself he arrived with plenty of time to spare and set everything up well in advance before the start time of our booking time. He was absolutely amazing and played one great song after the other whilst taking into account all our song requests! – Pauline & James (Healey Barn, May 2025)

Highly recommend this wedding DJ!!!

The best wedding DJ!!! Quickly after starting to look for wedding DJs we came across impress events and booked them straight away! Ryan has been absolutely amazing throughout the planning process, very approachable, friendly and professional. On the day itself he arrived with plenty of time to spare and set everything up well in advance before the start time of our booking time. He was absolutely amazing and played one great song after the other whilst taking into account all our song requests!
Ryan, thank you for everything you’ve done for us, you’ve massively contributed to our wedding being such a success and a day we’ll remember forever!❤️

Mr & Mrs Lewis

Ryan from Impress Events was the DJ for our wedding and wow was it one of the best decisions we made whilst planning. He was so friendly & professional, even letting my new husband & the best man try their hand on the decks. It made for the most perfect evening to our wedding and had everyone up the dance floor. Truly making it a night we’ll never forget. We also had Spencer on the sax which was the cherry on top. So many guests have messaged us after to say how much they enjoyed it & how incredible his playing was. If you’re planning a wedding and want the energy for your evening you’d be missing a trick to not book these guys. Will definitely be recommending them to all family & friends. Much love, Mr & Mrs Lewis

The best DJ! By far.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Ryan from Impress Events. He worked seamlessly with our venue (Tapyard, Hoults Yard, Newcastle) and helped us create the exact first dance moment we’d dreamed of—even editing the song to shorten it perfectly.

Ryan kept the energy high and the dance floor full all night. He even made space for a surprise “dog dance” that my best friend requested, and our must plays were peppered into the mix perfectly! He was always easy to get in touch with, understood our vibe right away, and truly delivered the perfect soundtrack for our celebration.

The lighting provided helped set the mood, and helped with our photo corner too!

We danced the night away, and our guests had an incredible time too. Thanks again, for making our evening unforgettable!

Tim & Sally (Grantley Hall)

We hired Impress Events as our wedding DJ. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. Communication was reliable, and Ryan even gave us helpful tips on organising the day's schedule, including the cake, first dance, bouquet toss, etc. He was unobtrusive throughout the evening, providing background music that gradually transitioned into party music as atmosphere progressed. He brought top-notch professional equipment and perfectly tailored the music to the flow of the day. The party at the end of the evening was fantastic! We sent him a playlist beforehand, which he diligently played and somehow managed to incorporate into his setlist - even though we had mixed some rather eclectic music styles. He catered to all age groups, and the dance floor was practically always packed. We highly recommend booking Impress Events as your DJ! He couldn't have done a better job. He made sure everyone left the party with a smile on their face :) A thousand thanks again!

The perfect complement for any wedding!

DJ Ryan was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He kept the multicultural crowd happy and hyped all night long. He took well into consideration our list of songs and also took requests from the guests. He was very attentive to our wishes and also provided great background music while we dined, tailored to the vibe and the atmosphere of the moment. Thank you Ryan!

Flawless. They really do Impress!

Impress Events were absolutely incredible during our wedding and we are so grateful we chose them! 100% recommend!! As our DJ, Ryan created the perfect vibe, played every song we hoped for, and kept the dance floor full all night long. We also had the sax package, and Jack was completely brilliant from the moment he came on as the surprise for our guests during our first dance.

Ryan had arranged a call with us beforehand to align on both our music preferences and our first dance timing, showing how organised and attentive he is. Our guests absolutely loved it too! The vibe was fantastic, and we had the best night imaginable. Impress really go the extra mile in every way possible.

Thank you so much, Ryan and Jack. It has been such a pleasure working with you, and you helped make our wedding day a special one!

Thank you so much Ryan you really brought the party!

Ryan was amazing from start to finish! We had a planning meeting beforehand and went through every detail and he really took time to understand our vision and style of music! His communication was great and answered all of our questions along the way through WhatsApp and email. The music on the day flowed so well and got people up on the dance floor! The music, the set up and the lights were all amazing to create the dance floor atmosphere! Thank you so much Ryan you really brought the party!

Incredible, truly!

I had been to so many weddings where the DJs were very hit or miss, and I was determined when I got married, that I wanted to find the perfect DJ to suit our music taste. We love all sorts from classic rock, pop punk, new metal and also indie - and Ryan provided an amazing set list for our wedding! Not only that, but the set up was incredible and Ryan was extremely accommodating. Everyone was so impressed and we truly had the best night of our lives. Thank you Ryan for taking on board all of our suggestions and must plays, we will remember this forever.

Ryan lives up to his reviews!

We found Ryan online, he has incredible reviews and lived up to them. He seemed to "get" us, our music taste, and what we wanted, from his first email. We loved that we could provide him with playlists, including suggestions from our guests, and a list of what not to play. Fortunately, Ryan doesn't do the typical cheesy DJ chatter but when you ask him to make announcements he does so in such a smooth charming voice that is just perfect for a wedding! The sound was incredible despite the venue having a 90 DB sound limiter that he had to stay below, and his lighting was also brilliant, just what we wanted. Everyone danced all night to good music and we have the best memories to takeaway with us. Thank you Ryan!

November 2025, Hornington Manor

We had Ryan & Jack for the evening of our wedding in November 2025 at Hornington Manor. From the very first message with Ryan to discuss our requirements right up the last tune played at our evening, they were both fantastic. Ryan is a super talented DJ, so be assured he will keep your guest dancing. Jack is a master at the saxophone and creates the perfect atmosphere. We can’t recommend Impress Events highly enough!
Thank you both from Helen & David
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
