We needed a guitarist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We needed someone who could play two specific songs and he delivered. Not only is he a great musician but he checked on us leading up to the wedding. We highly recommend. Best decision ever!!

Ryan did a great job. He showed up early, set up and played what we asked seamlessly. I honestly didn’t have to think about him performing at all, which was great had enough going on the day of our wedding. Thanks Ryan!

Ryan was professional and quick to respond from the start thru the conclusion of the event! We had him perform for our welcome reception event for an International crowd, and he found the perfect balance of background guitar and vocal performances that enhanced the event and never felt intrusive. His set up was well thought out and allowed him to make adjustments to audio levels efficiently and discretely. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Ryan was great!
He arrived early and really catered his set, which was amazing by the way, to our guests.
What I think really topped off the event for me is that after his set was over, Ryan took the time to chat with our residents.
I would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone that asked.

Beautiful music.
Singing Guitarist
We got married at Chapel Dulcinea and had a guest list of 50 people. We had ideas that Ryan was able to easily execute and he communicated effectively with me multiple times prior to the wedding to ensure he knew just what to do. I would highly recommend Ryan if you are planning an event. I loved the outcome! Best wishes for whatever you are planning with Ryan. I hope this finalizes you’re decision.
I have worked with Ryan for several events this year, and he always provides a wonderful atmosphere to each event, and it's been different every time. He enjoys what he does, and is very responsive to meet needs quickly. We will continue to use his services.
If you are considering a musician for your event go with Ryan!

Thank you Taylor. I've really appreciated and enjoyed working with you and Epic Ent.
Ryan arrived early and was completely self-sufficient in setting up, which was so helpful because I was running around making sure all the last minute details came together for our wine tasting event. Ryan was also very responsive to emails prior to the event. He is professional, friendly and talented. The music volume was perfect. People could hear the music but never had to shout in conversation. Our guests were impressed by his playing, and we received several compliments about the ambiance he helped to create. They said our event felt classy and relaxing, which was exactly our aim. We would have him play for us again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Ryan!
Ryan was so easy to work with. Quick responses and gave us exactly what we asked for. Very professional. Our members thoroughly enjoyed his music. So enjoyable! Very much recommend booking Ryan for your event!

Ryan played for my father's funeral. We were going through a grieving process while also dealing with the flu and bronchitis so it was reassuring to us that he took the lead and picked out the music. The performance was beautiful and provided the calm meditative atmosphere we needed during the service.

I booked Ryan to perform during the cocktail hour of my wedding. He showed up early, dressed and acted very professionally, and played a killer set! He was very flexible--we were originally going to have him set up outside but rain forced us to move the equipment inside and he was totally accommodating. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great singer/guitarist/songwriter to play at their event!

Ryan is a highly talented artist. All of our guests including children adored his musical style. He was also highly communicative and detail oriented ensuring that a unique experience was had by all. I would absolutely recommend him for any gig.
Guitarist, Singer/Songwriter, Ukulele Player, Singing Guitarist
I don't know how Ryan can play the guitar with a cell phone duct taped to his hand, but he must manage, because I swear that phone was never away from him in the nine months leading up to my wedding. Any time I had a question or a concern, and sent him a message, I was getting a response within sixty seconds, sometimes before I had even set my phone back down on the desk. He was by far the most prompt of all my vendors in ever responding to me, always with an immediate and clearly understood answer, one of my very few vendors who seems to understand that it's not enough to just be good at what you do, but that a bride needs you to be in easy reach for communication to set her worried, frazzled mind at ease.
When the day came, Ryan was the vendor I was stressing over the least. Even though we'd never met in person, his incredible responsiveness over the past several months meant I knew I could trust him to show up on time, follow the instructions, and play the music I'd asked him to. As the bride and therefore last in the building, I barely got to hear any of it, but all of my guests complimented me on the beautiful music and I know he did a good job. I'm so happy that I chose him and count myself lucky that he was part of the day.

Thank you so much Emily. You guys were great and I had a wonderful time creating your wedding with you. I'm so happy you're pleased. Take care I wish you guys nothing but good things Ryan
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect guitarist for our wedding day! Not only is Ryan a super talented performer, he is an all-around wonderful person. Truly. He is easy to work with, professional, personable, communicative AND he saved the day on multiple occasions throughout the night. Just one example - the lapel mic we had rented for our officiant wasn't working properly right before the ceremony and Ryan stepped in and worked quickly to get it set up just in time. He instantly made us feel at ease throughout the whole planning process and worked with us to set the perfect mood we had envisioned for the day. He was even kind enough to learn a few songs that we had our hearts set on and he played them beautifully. I highly recommend him! Thank you so much Ryan :)

Ryan was amazing - he showed up and set up early. He read the vibe of the room for our company holiday party and people LOVED it.
Ryan could not have been better. He played instrumental guitar for our intimate cocktail reception (30 people). He goes with the flow and is extremely easy to work with. His music provided the perfect texture for our casual but top-end event.

Ryan was seriously such an amazing addition to my wedding! His music was beautiful, and everybody enjoyed it. His relaxed and positive attitude made him a joy to work with.

Ryan was very professional. He promptly made contact. He showed up two hours early to prepare. We had drizzling conditions as the outdoor party began, and amid weather stress, Ryan was calm, kind and flexible, setting up multiple times. He has a beautiful voice and read the crowd's desires well and can handle anything.

Perkins + Will hired Ryan to play our Austin Office Open House in early May 2017. He was communicative, showed up early, had his own equipment, and played wonderfully. We asked him to play instrumentals in the rock/blues genre as background music and he hit the spot! I hope there are more events we can call Ryan for. Will hire again in a heartbeat!
Classical Guitarist
Ryan played at my wedding and the whole experience was absolutely perfect. From his communication, his easy manner and calming presence in the midst of my not knowing what I wanted for music, he made it all come together and it couldn't have been more perfect. He is a brilliant musician and I am still receiving compliments from my guests on his music.
Guitarist, Singer/Songwriter, Singing Guitarist
Ryan was excellent at our office's Open House on May 9th. He set a great tone for our party. I'm hoping we get to host other in-house events so we have opportunities to work with Ryan again.

Ryan played at our Music Festival April 28th 2017. His performance was outstanding and everybody that attended could not say enough good things about his music and his manners. We will most certainly have Ryan back to perform for us. I cannot stress enough that if you get the opportunity to see this young man perform live you must not miss him. Thank you Ryan for an outstanding performance and your professionalism.Live Oak Resort

I cannot say enough about Ryan DeSiato. Our wedding guests were impressed by his unassuming manner and outstanding performance creating a serene atmosphere for a beautiful riverside wedding. He communicated regularly with our family before the big event and arrived promptly 2 hours before the ceremony to ensure all would go smoothly. I guess you could say he "hit all the right notes". Thank you, Ryan.

Ryan's talent is exceptional. He played at our wedding and was just awesome. Ryan's ability to connect with the officiator of our wedding and the timing on all the different stages of the wedding made the whole event flow seamlessly.

Ryan was great! He is such a cool chill guy! He is really passionate about making sure your day is exactly they way you envisioned!

There are just not enough words to express how amazing Ryan DeSiato is! From the get go, he was enthusiastic to work with, and a complete professional that completely put my mind at ease knowing I had picked the most perfect guitarist for my wedding at Chapel Dulcinea! Having never been married before, I had no idea how to even start on the music for such a rustic setting...and may I say outdoors! As soon as I posted for a guitarist, Ryan responded timely, was familiar with the venue and already knew what logistics were needed to be addressed! Once I saw his website and listened to him sing...MUST I SAY MORE?? Beautiful, deep voice...fantastic acoustic guitar work. The weeks leading up to the event were concerning to say the least, as a HUGE thunderstorm was predicted and lots o'Texas lighting!! Ryan keep vigil on weather reports with me and all I had to give him were the main songs for the walk down the aisle, he took care of the rest! I had musicians among my guest and they just loved his voice!! Ryan is responsive, talented, organized and just FANTASTIC to work with!!! Thank you for helping make my day so special Ryan!

I could not have asked for a more perfect musician. The utmost professional, Ryan DeSiato was a dream to work with: punctual, easy to contact, prepared, and the music was absolutely beautiful. He has a great repertoire and was open to working with me if I had a modern song in mind. Ryan easily made music the least stressful part of planning my wedding. I would recommend him to everyone I know.

Ryan did a wonderful job with our wedding. He showed up early and even helped decorate our chapel as we were having trouble getting everything done.

Ryan is a very talented guitarist that played for about 2 hours during our trade show reception. He played background acoustic guitar music that sounded awesome. He knew exactly what style of music to play for the type of environment we had. We couldn't have been more pleased.

We cannot even say enough kind words to begin to compliment Ryan DeSiato. Ryan played at our wedding and we could not be happier that he was such a special part of our day. Not only is he incredibly talented, he is a class-act and extremely kind and professional. From the moment that I contacted him and began working with him, he was so precise in getting every detail exactly as we wanted. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was extra special. He was the "icing on the cake" and added so much beauty to our ceremony. When he played and sang, it literally brought joyful tears to everyone's eyes and hearts.

Ryan DeSatio did an amazing job for us at our recent client event in Austin. He paid attention to every detail I provided, understood the objectives of the event and created an ambiance for the guests with his amazing voice and guitar expertise that helped created a very successful event for our client. His music is beautiful and he switches from instrumental to vocal to match the 'mood' of the moment. The client and their guests were thrilled with our choice of entertainer and I was thrilled with Ryan's voice, charm, people skills and flexibility. He is now at the top of our 'go to' list when searching for an entertainer who will never disappoint! Ryan, you're the best! Thanks so much for making us look good.

I just can't say enough about Ryan. My first impression of him was about his customer service skills. He was the most efficient and responsive person I worked with for my event. He never failed to promptly return messages and communicated thoroughly with me. That was such a relief since planning events can sometimes be stressful. But best of all was his talent. It was so enjoyable to listen to him. He knows his way around his great ability and he exhibits it with artistry. He knew just what our crowd needed and he supplied it in full measure. He met my music type requests and his contribution made the whole event just perfect. Believe all these good reviews because they are true. Not only was he a great entertainer, musician and businessman but a genuinely nice guy. I would call him again in a minute if I ever have the need.

You need to really consider this performer for your next event. He is very professional from start to finish. His communication skills are excellent and he is very easy to work with, all that being said he has amazing talent and skills.

Thanks Rose! You guys were a blast to work with. I appreciate the kind words, can't wait to see you and the family again. RD
We fell in love with Ryan's music on the website. We chose several of his originals for our most important songs. What I would recommend to anyone considering Ryan for their wedding is to let him express his creative freedom by allowing him to select and play songs throughout the evening. He takes the time to listen to your music preferences and tailors the music accordingly. His style of play is incredible! I consider it an honor to have him participate in our ceremony with strictly his original music. It was perfect and more beautiful than I anticipated. He arrived promptly and worked extremely well with our coordinator to ensure a blemish free evening. Thank you Ryan! I greatly appreciate the magical evening you gave us. I couldn't imagine anything better.

We had to plan our wedding from out of state and coordinated most everything over the phone or through family. From speaking to Ryan I could immediately tell he was professional and was all about catering to his clients. When our big day came, Ryan helped give our reception the atmosphere we wanted. He knows many different genres to play and played a perfect mix of all of our favorite bands and artists. I would highly recommend booking Ryan for any event you may have coming up. He does a fabulous job at what he does.
Singing Guitarist
We booked Ryan to perform as a Valentines surprise for our wives. He was everything we hoped for; a talented and engaging performer that contributed to an incredible night. He had a well thought out song list and happily accommodated requests. He will please with unique soulful versions of familiar classics, but be sure to have him play some of his original material.

We scheduled Ryan for our wedding reception after reading several recommendations and listening to some of his samples. Ryan was super friendly and very accommodating to what we were looking for. My fiancé talked with him several times over the phone so Ryan could get a good sense of our music taste and added several recommendations for specific periods of the night. Overall, great musician and person! Highly recommend!

Ryan is so sweet. He did a Memorial Service for all our families who have lost a loved one. He sat down and gauged the mood of the audience and played accordingly. Our families loved it and kept commenting on his talent. I would recommend him for any occasion. He can read the audience very well. He plays his instruments awesomely and his voice is like an angel singing. In a rating 1 being bad and 10 being the best, he ranks a 20.

The wedding truly was special... You guys were wonderful, I appreciate your kindness and this review. Stay in touch with me and I'll see you guys again at another show. I wish you the best! Sincerely Ryan
Ryan did a wonderful job of providing excellent atmosphere during a cocktail hour (lots of vocals) and then during dinner (he switched to instrumentals). Ryan is a consummate professional, working with us beforehand to make sure he understood what we were hoping for, and then delivering a high quality performance at the event itself. He is a self-proclaimed perfectionist, which showed in his dependability as well as the quality of his music.
Ryan was also able to handle some last minute adjustments to the arrangements and was very gracious and accommodating. In short, the groom's parents were delighted, but more importantly, the bride and groom remarked repeatedly that they really liked Ryan's music and what he added to the event. We would all highly recommend Ryan for your event. He's excellent!

I hired Ryan to play guitar for a small gathering / backyard cookout. What a great decision I made! Ryan arived early set up and warm up. We quickly became friends and I knew right away he was going to make the perfect addition to my party! He started out playing some Spanish guitar which was the original plan, as the guests arrived Ryan's music set the tone and kept the party moving. Later we had some fun and one of my guests showed us his drumming talents as he and Ryan has an impromptu jam session. Overall Ryan exceeded all my expectations and I would highly recommend him for any event larde or small! Thanks again Ryan, I hope you enjoyed the home cooked Paella too!!

In fact, I would have stayed much longer had I not had to play early the next morning. The food was amazing and you all made me feel right at home, Thank you. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon. Have a safe, fun time in Spain. Take care my friend - Ryan
I booked Ryan because he is so talented, and he was impressive indeed! He played acoustic and electric guitar and ukelele - instrumental pieces and singing as well. He was able to gauge the audience to complement the event, which was a cocktail reception. I really wish I could have had more time to just sit and listen to him. He is really that good! Also, he was extremely easy to work with and eager to please. He is the consummate professional performer. I can't wait to book him again.

Ryan played at a gathering of friends, about 40, from the same church. We were all so very pleased with his ability and professionalism. He blended in like an old friend and played like candy for the ears. We hope he'll play for another event of ours another time. We'll done Ryan.

We were more than happy with Ryan for this wedding event. He was amazing and very talented. He went above and beyond with everything even including even the youngest of guests. I would recommend this guy for any event needing music. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you Pete... I'm honored and blessed to work with ACTS
My company has engaged Ryan at many of our events that required a high level of professionalism as well as talent. Ryan is successful in bringing both. He is a talented artist that has an uncanny ability to determine appropriate material for the audience (mood, aesthetic, market appeal). I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Ryan has performed as a gifted guitarist and singer for many events at Redeemer's Hope Church. He not only has a professional attitude and skills, he brings a depth of excellence to the worship. I highly recommend Ryan for any event, venue or personal service.
