Imagine the lights fading as your song begins to play, and every friend and loved one holds their breath, waiting for your 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
Ryan is the wedding DJ behind Impress Events. He has performed at over 1,800 weddings across more than 300 venues in the UK and Europe. Ryan mixes live, reads the room, and knows how to keep every generation involved from your first dance to the last song. Guest requests are always welcome, unless you provide a do-not-play list, which Ryan will follow strictly.

Tailored Packages
Impress Events offers options designed to suit different weddings and budgets. Every package includes premium sound and lighting, a planning call, and a DJ set shaped around your music taste.

  • Gold Package, from £795
    Ideal for smaller weddings or tighter spaces, without compromising on quality.
  • Signature Package, from £950
    A more powerful sound system, plus uplighting to enhance the room and lift the atmosphere as the night builds.
  • DJ + Sax
    If you’d like live sax alongside your DJ set, Ryan can recommend a small number of trusted sax players he regularly performs with. Ryan will advise on timings and music choices, and coordinate on the night so everything flows smoothly.

Planning Made Easy
Ryan will guide you through your music choices, key moments and timings in a relaxed planning call. He can also coordinate with your venue and other suppliers so everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Simple, Flexible Booking
Booking is straightforward, with all credit cards accepted as well as bank transfers. If your plans change down the line, Ryan is happy to adapt, even if timings shift close to the day.

“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 and James, Healey Barn, May 2025

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!

Book him immediately!

Ryan is in a different league. From the first message he was professional and so easy to work with. He took all of our requests onboard and had everyone including our grandparents up dancing. If you manage to find him available for your date, book him immediately.

We’d recommend Ryan in a heartbeat.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn.
Right from the start, Ryan was brilliant to deal with. He was friendly, professional, and so organised that he made the whole thing completely stress free. During our planning stages, he really took the time to get a feel for what we wanted, the vibe we were after, the music we love, and the kind of night we wanted.
On the day, Ryan was perfect. Everything was set up perfectly and looked smart in our venue, Sandhole Oan Barn.
His music choise was 10/10 all night. He read the room so well and kept the dance floor busy from start to finish. Every song seemed to come at just the right time, and he got the balance exactly right between the tracks we’d asked for and the ones that got everyone up. We had guests of all ages dancing, which is exactly what we wanted, and so many people have said how good the music was.
What we appreciated most was how relaxed and in control Ryan was. He helped the evening flow naturally and was great with the announcements without creating any distractions. He brought such a great energy to the night and really felt like a big part of what made the wedding so special.
If you’re looking for a wedding DJ who is reliable, talented, and genuinely cares about making your wedding night amazing, we’d recommend Ryan in a heartbeat. We’re so glad we booked him and we suggest you do to!

PERFECT! Everything was simply, perfect!

We had the pleasure of having Ryan DJ at our wedding, he was amazing to work with in the lead up to the wedding and was so flexible with the payment plans we made. His timing was perfect! He arrived early and set up in good time during the food service. When it came time to party, he had the dance floor full right from the offset and kept everyone going until midnight, there was never an empty dance floor! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! We will keep him in our minds for any future parties! Overall, everything was perfect. We cannot recommend Impress Events enough!

Amazing DJ! From initial contact to our big day, the communication was easy, fast and professional. Ryan was the best addition to our wedding party, set up was quick and music was fabulous! Everything we asked for was included and Ryan read the room so the dance floor was full all night, highly recommend! Thanks so much from a very happy couple!

1000% the best in the business!

We’re so glad we had Ryan from Impress Events at our wedding, what a night to remember! From the moment the music started every guest loved it, we left the music selection to Ryan and told him to play whatever, he even had my 89 year old grandad out of his chair and on the dance floor. Thanks again Ryan! Would 1000% recommend to anybody looking for the best!

Jenny & Sam, Colshaw Hall 2025

We hired Impress Events for our wedding at Colshaw Hall and it was the perfect choice. Our DJ, Ryan, was very professional and very approachable throughout the entire process. He brought life to the evening and what we liked most was his energy never dropped. Every song he played was perfect for the moment. He got our guests dancing and everyone was eager to have a good time. Thank you, Ryan, for making our wedding day so special.

A perfect 10!

A perfect 10! Ryan was the icing on the cake for our special day. Highly recommended!! He helped us immensely with the venue lighting; it looked beautiful! He was very friendly and approachable, nothing was ever a bother. He went above and beyond with everything we asked of him. The music was brilliant and everyone danced, even the guests we never thought would get up. Thank you so much!

Great experience

Ryan was great. In the lead up to the event we had quite a few issues - changing venue, then the new venue was imposing restrictions on sound levels and making things difficult, but Ryan was great at keeping me in the loop and working with us to ensure that we had the best day possible. He was very professional and his set up was great. We also hired a sax player via Impress events who was great. I provided a pretty comprehensive play list and do not play list which he followed, as well as reading the room and going with what he felt was working. Our dance floor was full all night long

Mr & Mrs Bonner - Hyde House Cotswolds.

We were recommended Ryan to us for our wedding. He was very friendly and professional, and we always received a quick response. Everything went wonderfully with Ryan; he's truly reliable and executed everything exactly as we'd discussed beforehand. Our interaction with him beforehand and at the reception was also very friendly and professional. He adapted the music to suit the mood, and the dance floor was full the whole time. We were very satisfied and will always look back on the day with fond memories.

We can highly recommend Impress Events!

Impress Events played at our wedding last weekend, and the atmosphere was fantastic throughout!

We've never experienced a dance floor that never emptied. Ryan is extremely good at reading the mood of the guests and reacts quickly if a song doesn't resonate, then blasts out something else to keep everyone on the dance floor. He is a DJ who definitely has a great grasp of song transitions.

He was also super easy to organise with, responded flexibly to requests, and always kept cool when I was pestering him with questions on WhatsApp at 2am! (Thanks for even replying at that time)

Everything was simply brilliant, thanks a bunch.

Thank you!

We were lucky to have DJ Ryan at our wedding in December. He provided everything, the microphones, sound system and the lighting. He made sure everything went super smoothly and we were in good hands and could relax. He has a great feel for the crowd and had everyone up and dancing into the night. Thanks again for being part of our special day.

10/10 Wedding Experience.

10/10 wedding experience! Impress Events made our wedding day something we will never forget for the rest of our lives, and the same goes for all our guests. From the perfect ambiance whilst our evening guests arrived to transforming the dance floor into a full-on rave and dance party, they absolutely nailed it.

From start to finish, they understood exactly the kind of atmosphere we wanted and delivered beyond expectations. Every moment felt effortless, energetic, and unforgettable.

We couldn’t recommend Impress Events enough to anyone looking to turn their wedding into the best celebration of their lives. Truly outstanding.

English-Spanish wedding - nailed it!

We celebrated our English-Spanish wedding last week and we only have incredibly positive things to say about Ryan and Impress Events.
Firstly, Ryan has been super helpful and accommodating from the offset. We hired him almost a year ahead of our wedding and he was really helpful providing us with local recommendations for other providers. Ryan was also very helpful with suggesting songs for our wedding day. My husband and I have very differing music tastes and couldn’t agree on any cake songs but Ryan suggested some songs which went down very well on the day!
Our wedding party was a diverse bunch of guests. We had different age groups of English and Spanish. We gave Ryan our list of songs which emphasised that we preferred music from the 90s/00s, and he got the balance exactly right. There was a good mixture of English and Spanish songs, and Ryan even played Spanish songs I didn't know but went down a treat with our guests. Aside from knowing the music, we also found out on the day that he actually speaks Spanish when he was talking to my husband's family before starting the night. A lot of guests after the wedding said the music/playlist for our wedding was spectacular. He also ensured fantastic timing with the music - for example, he ensured the music fitted perfectly for when we cut the cake and went into our first dance.
Overall, we want to say a massive thank you to Ryan. You made our day incredible and we are so grateful! If we ever have another event we will be sure to use you again!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
