Reviews for Ryan Boden DJ | The Alternative Wedding DJ
Flawless. They really do Impress!
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!

We’d recommend Ryan in a heartbeat.
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!
The best part of the wedding party!
Great experience
We can highly recommend Impress Events!
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 for helping make our wedding so special!
We couldn’t be happier with their professionalism, attention to detail, and incredible talent. If you’re looking for someone who will make your big day unforgettable, Impress Events are the ones!
10/10 Wedding Experience.
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.
