COUPLES: THIS IS THE SECRET TO A PERFECT, NO STRESS WEDDING ! TL ; DR - Ryan is now part of our family and the reason our wedding was SO incredibly perfect! From the moment I first spoke with Ryan, I knew he was the one. There was never a question about choosing him to DJ + Plan our wedding. I said yes to my now husband, and we both said yes to Ryan Cech and his incredible DJ+management team at Catered Rhythms. He started out as our DJ ; he has 15+ years of experience! I loved his energy, transparency and most importantly - his response time! Communication is everything to the busy bride or groom. I started many an email thread to Ryan and then fell off because LIFE and when I picked back up, Ryan responded RIGHT away. And should he be out of office, he is very transparent around timing and closes loops both before and after. (Wedding vendor radio silence can be VERY anxiety inducing!) From the get go, he doled out sage words of wisdom that can only come with his experience and time in the industry. He knew EVERYTHING about...EVERYTHING. Truly. So asking him to take on full management of our wedding was as easy as saying I Do. And from that moment on - I could breathe. I trusted Ryan completely. His candor, conversation and industry wisdom are unparalleled. He wasn't just our coordinator, planner and DJ, he was our advisor. No one knows Montana like him - he's a native after all! This wedding would have been nowhere near as unique and special as it was, without Ryan and his level of detail and care. And, this man knows how to handle a bride with grace and charm! Ryan listened to my EVERY thought, idea and feeling. He worked everything in! He also knew how+when to push back on me, which I am so grateful for. Here are some highlights from working with wedding artiste DJ Ryan: His brilliant tablescape designs - including tree "cookies" cut from a tree in his own yard! His wooden guest book idea, the path he recommended for the wedding party procession, his seating chart and table layout mastery, all the day of paper items he designed himself and professionally printed, his coordination of our florals: we were able to use our wedding flowers for the rehearsal dinner, as well! He brought a guitar from his home and included it in his AV set up, so my brother could live perform a song he had written. He lent my family all the baby things! Pack and play, and whatever else babies need!? (dog parents here) When we flew in to visit the venue, he chauffeured us around town like we were his own family. For these reasons and SO many more, Ryan planned and executed the MOST amazingly perfect wedding weekend Big Sky, Montana has ever seen. BONUS: Ryan often pulls in his wife and sister to work weddings - so it's a real, well-oiled family affair! DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BOOK CATERED RHYTHMS TO PLAN AND DJ YOUR WEDDING. Because once you do, the next step is just showing up for your big day. WE LOVE YOU DJ RYAN !!!! Jess+Greg read more

Ryan was amazing from the start. We hired him not only for DJ ing but also to be our wedding coordinator. He took charge and gave us such comfort, especially the last couple weeks before our wedding. He was super organized and he always put our vision first. He made planning a wedding fun and we really enjoyed our zoom meeting with him monthly. My husband and I live out of state (Arizona) and Ryan made all the logistics so easy for us and our Montana wedding. He went to the venue for us and also went to the ceremony site for us many times and gave us the full picture (since we were not able to go in person). He was very detailed and gave us our options so we didn't have to think on anything for too long. We felt like the King and Queen and he truly did give us the royal treatment. We couldn't have done this wedding without him. He was the best decision we made when it came to the wedding and I would pick him again any day. Ryan had one of hi trusty DJ's, Elias do our wedding and he was amazing and went with the flow of our crazy wedding party. If we wanted a certain song or change of rhythm, Elias was the man. He put on quite a show for us and my dance floor was never empty thanks to him. He was so much fun and everyone loved the music. So not only do you get an amazing DJ service but you can also get an amazing Wedding coordinator and we are so so so pleased and happy for both services that we chose. read more

I could not recommend Catered Rhythms enough! Ryan was extremely helpful during the whole wedding planning process. He made sure all of our needs were met & on the same page. He quite literally helped plan out the whole day from start to finish & didn't miss anything in between. Our party even sprung a last minute entrance idea on him & he didn't hesitate to make it work. We got it all figured out in two minutes if that. He is very professional, personable & flexible. Read the dance floor very well when it came to the right songs to play. We got sooo many compliments on his business. Many guests were very pleased as well as my husband and I. He will be our first recommendation for anyone looking for a Dj. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Catered Rhythms. We were planning a wedding and reception from 4 states away. After multiple weeks of trying to line up another DJ and getting nowhere with responses I was referred to this company by our caterer. Within the same day we had an initial call and pricing. After a few more days we had contracts signed and a meeting set to start planning. We had a great experience with the event as well. Molly came to a park and set up for the ceremony and then headed to the reception and set up. She did a great job of not only providing great music but jumped in and taught some line dances to a few guests. Great price and experience all the way around. read more

110% Groom Approved: get married in Montana for half the price of planners out east! In Ryan's mind, he gave us a fair quote / price. He is worth SO much more. The level of service he provides is unreal. From day 1 he starts to feel like family. He is just incredible: his personality, his skillset. His passion and focus on us as a couple and both of our excited mothers was just incredible. The reason everything was so perfect was because of Ryan. You will never find a more dedicated, organized or creative wedding planner than Ryan Cech. Thank you, Ryan, for making our wedding so incredible and for making our experience a truly once-in-a-lifetime memory! read more

Ryan was an absolute pleasure to work with! His communication from the beginning made our lives very easy. Not only are his organization skills top notch, he is also an amazing DJ! We've had many of our guests comment that he was great! Our floor was filled with dancing, sweaty bodies the entire time, which is exactly what we asked for. Ryan also helped us with the ceremony and making a tough call during some poor weather. His nudge to get the ceremony started during a window of opportunity in the weather paid off as the sun beamed on us during the vows. I would 10/10 recommend Ryan for your wedding! read more

Ryan was a GREAT DJ for our New Year's Eve wedding! The entire process was very smooth and he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. We did not have a wedding planner but that didn't keep Ryan from keeping the evening on track with all the different transitions and "events/moments" we had planned along the way. He really seemed to keep the event moving along with great ease with no awkward long boring stretches in between. It was a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend his services! read more

Ryan and his team made it so easy planning the music for our wedding and reception! He was incredibly helpful leading up to the wedding with not only song choices, but other aspects of our wedding as well! Even going to our venue and sending pics since it was out of town for us! DJ Molly was absolutely amazing the day of the wedding! She somehow managed to always make sure I was taken care of for the night with anything I needed while still playing the best songs! She made the night so much fun for us! read more
