Ryan was incredibly kind and helpful on the planning calls! He and the planning application helped us to create a timeline and be as involved as we liked in curating our playlist for our guests. Ryan was very responsive as well! On the wedding day itself, DJ Justin was so communicative and kind, we couldn’t be more appreciative. THANK YOU!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Madison & Kevin in Pittston, Maine 10/12/2024

Ryan and Maine Made Weddings was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. They send a detailed questionnaire and timeline creator to you months before the wedding and that really helps sort out some of the big details that go into DJing and MCing the event. The music selection process was incredibly intuitive and customizable to whatever vibe you want. They also were able to accommodate three different locations on our venue without issue. Our dance floor was very active all night thanks to Tom! They were a great vendor for us and we’d recommend them to anyone.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tyler & Jennifer in New Gloucester, Maine 10/12/2024

Ryan and his team at Maine Made Weddings went above and beyond! They are an incredible team to work with. They kept things easy and organized from the very beginning until the very end of the planning process. Whether it be phone/video calls to check in/plan, email reminders, or the super convenient app that they use for music selection, they are so incredible. Our DJ was Matt Perry and he absolutely rocked it! He kept us on schedule and brought such good vibes to our venue and our dance floor. 10/10 would recommend and work with again for any event!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emilie & Jordan in Dayton, Maine 10/12/2024

We worked with Ryan for our October 2024 wedding and we could not have been happier with his professionalism, organization, and ability to put on a great party. Ryan was such a huge help during the planning process and asked us detailed questions that we hadn’t even thought of to make sure our day ran smoothly. Ryan was more of an MC/DJ and made sure that other vendors were in line as the night went on. I am not exaggerating when I say he had the dance floor PACKED the entire night, it did not die ONCE. He was able to read the room and made sure the party never stopped. Thank you so much again for an amazing experience Ryan, you truly made our wedding unforgettable.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda & Toby in Shapleigh, Maine 10/12/2024

Maine Made Weddings (DJ: Ryan) was an excellent choice for our wedding. As a couple who wanted a lot of say on the music, we were so pleased and excited for all of the songs we really wanted to hear – also having control over what we didn’t want to hear. The personalization of our event and the ease of working with Ryan made the music a highlight of our wedding reception. We absolutely recommended Maine Made Weddings!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily & Wayne in Dedham, Maine 10/4/2024

Maine Made Weddings was the best choice we could of made for our wedding. The owner Ryan was so organized in setting up planning meetings and staying right on top of everything. They use an app planning system that made it so easy to customize our day of timeline and music choices. It was a seamless experience! Dom was our day of DJ and he was great! Everything went so smooth because we already had a plan in place and he even was reminding me of our thank you speech and cake cutting time. He was on top of everything. Tons of guest complimented us on how great the DJ was!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mal & Anthony in Portland, Maine 10/4/2024

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ryan as our wedding DJ, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Ryan made the whole process not only easy but also incredibly fun. He created an amazing app to help us plan our music selections, which made organizing our playlist a breeze and allowed us to customize everything exactly the way we wanted. It was such a unique and personal touch! On the day of the wedding, Ryan was fantastic—he kept the energy up all night, read the crowd perfectly, and made sure the dance floor was packed the entire time. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm made a huge difference in making our wedding so memorable. If you’re looking for a DJ who will take the stress out of planning and keep the party going all night long, Ryan is your guy. Thank you so much, Ryan, for helping to make our day so special!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samantha & Matt in Cape Elizabeth, Maine 9/28/2024

We worked with Ryan for our September 2024 wedding and would absolutely recommend Maine Made Weddings! Ryan was extremely organized, offered tips based on his significant experience that were very helpful, and his app and compiled music lists made choosing music and making playlists SO easy! All music on the day went smoothly thanks to Ryan, and our guests had a blast on the dance floor!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Isabel & Julian in Wiscasset, Maine 9/21/2024

We had Maine Made Weddings at our wedding in September 2024 and they were AMAZING!! We had a few calls in the months leading up and they were very thorough and actually extremely helpful when helping us create a timeline, which was the most difficult part for us when planning. The planning app is also super helpful to track everything and it’s customizable to your own timeline. The price was also very reasonable for everything that they include! At our wedding, they came and set everything they needed up for the ceremony and for the reception seamlessly and were fully self sufficient. We had Tom as a DJ and he was super nice and helpful and we got SO many compliments on his personability and helpfulness! They really made the whole day our dream come true and we can’t say enough good about them!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Callie & Mike in Winthrop, Maine 9/21/2024

Ryan and his team were fabulous! We had so much fun dancing the night away. With my family being from the US and my husband from Colombia, we had to mix both cultures. Ryan did a great job listening to us and making sure our playlist was great for everyone. He really helped us plan our ceremony, dinner and reception. He had us thinking of things we never would have!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hannah & Juan in Biddeford, Maine 9/14/2024

Maine Made Weddings was nothing short of professional, which is why we hired them! They made our night fantastic and the entire process they set up was easily the least painful thing about wedding planning!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jamie & Nate in Hermon, Maine 9/14/2024

Working with Ryan was consistently a seamless and easy process for us. From the first call, it was clear he is a true pro and we felt like we weren’t just another client for him. Whether you want to control all aspects of the playlist, or have Ryan take the wheel, he’s the guy. His app is also very easy to use and worked flawlessly, he even edited our first dance song to our exact specifications. The dance floor was hot all night long! We strongly would recommend to anyone looking for a professional DJ that makes you feel heard.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cassie & Dan in York, Maine 9/13/2024

Maine Made Weddings was an absolute dream to work with. They were truly an exceptional example of professionalism, thoughtful advice, and stress free planning. Working with Ryan to complete the planning, and Justin on the day was so incredibly easy. We were so thankful we had worked with them. Highly recommend!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grace & Dan in Boothbay Harbor, Maine 8/24/2024

Ryan was an amazing DJ for our August 2024 wedding! From the get go we felt comfortable with all suggestions he provided. Ryan made the planning process fun and a breeze with the Vibo app he uses. He helped us build out our tentative timeline and made sure we got everything we wanted in the process. His experience definitely shined through when helping us build out the music feel for each part of our reception. From the cocktail hour, to our dinner, and, most importantly, our dance floor. His ability to understand the feel we were going for helped define our whole night. He made great suggestions for types of music as well as helped fill in the blanks for our dance floor music. His uplighting placement and use played a major factor in our dance floor being busy. Ryan setup our music choices in a way that kept the party going all night. Our guests talked about how great the music flowed all night and that was due to Ryan’s ability to understand what we were looking for. We would definitely recommend working with him!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cristina & Chris in Kennebunkport, Maine 8/23/2024

Maine Made Weddings did a fantastic job with our wedding! Great communication with Ryan prior to the event to get the right feeling and flow. Day of services were everything we hoped for! Highly recommend.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emma & Dillon in Portland, Maine 8/10/2024

We had the absolute best experience with Maine Made Weddings and our DJ, Ryan , at our wedding! From the very beginning, Ryan was a total professional, taking the time to understand our musical tastes and the vibe we wanted for our big day. We had multiple planning calls at appropriate points to nail down our wedding playlist and keeping us on track planning-wise. On the day of the wedding, Ryan was phenomenal! He read the crowd perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night long. One of the guests said he couldn’t sit because every song that came on was a hit. He effortlessly mixed our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers that had everyone dancing and having fun!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James & Ally in Rockport, Maine 8/3/2024

Ryan’s professionalism, attention to detail, and organization outshined every other music vendor we interviewed, which is why we hired Maine Maine Weddings as our wedding DJ. At first, we were reluctant to use an app to design our music as we wanted the “experts” to plan everything for us, but we were ultimately so grateful to have so much say in these key moments. Ryan’s step-by-step process and communication helped us think through elements of our event (like musical transitions and timing of dances) that we would have otherwise not considered. We mean this in the best way possible, but we hardly even noticed the DJ we were assigned to (Justin) was at our wedding as he blended in perfectly! The audio was perfect (everyone could hear our personal vows, speeches, and music the entire night), seamless transitions, and minimal announcements. It was important to us to not have a “gimmicky” announcer-like DJ, and Justin honored this beautifully. We can honestly say there were no audio/musical hiccups in our 7+ hour event day. Highly recommend Maine Maine Weddings!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Kelly & Emmett in Buxton, Maine 7/20/2024

I knew we were in great hands as soon as our consultation began. Ryan is incredibly professional and has a ton of helpful knowledge regarding the flow and timing of the wedding day. He made the planning process so easy, and we especially appreciated having access to an app that allowed us to personalize so many moments of the day. We were fortunate enough to have Ryan DJ our wedding ceremony and reception, but I’m willing to bet the rest of the DJs on his team are fantastic too. Our guests had an absolute blast and I’m so thankful Ryan was a part of our day!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kaitlyn & Brian in South Portland, Maine 7/13/2024

They were so easy to work with, Justin was an amazing DJ, and the music planning app was a HUGE help for both creating a playlist and for making notes about our timeline/MC requests. Thank you!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shani & Connor in Brunswick, Maine 7/6/2024

Ryan and Tom kept the dance floor going all night long! Ryan was super helpful with planning. The Maine Made Weddings DJ planning platform was easy to use and allowed us to curate our own playlist. Tom allowed the groom, who is also a DJ, play a few tracks towards the end of the night. It was the highlight of the night for many attending the reception!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paige & Brad in New Harbor, Maine 6/29/2024

Maine Made Weddings was great to work with. Ryan was super helpful in getting our wedding music timeline down so it flowed best between ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. We had several phone calls with him to get recommendations and make it our own! Matt (DJ) was super fun at the wedding and did a great job with the music. He kept the dance floor energetic and was super fun to work with. We are so appreciative of their hard work on our day!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Corrina & Matt in York, Maine 6/29/2024

Ryan helped to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. From our first call with planning, I knew he was going to be the right fit for us. Maine Made Weddings really considers the auditory experience of the wedding day from guest arrival all the way through until the dance floor closing, something I greatly appreciated. This approach was extremely helpful for planning as well because it made us consider the guest experience from arrival to departure. Ryan set us up with the Vibo DJ app and we were able to craft the soundtrack for our wedding to our liking, but he also gave us the option of deferring to him based on preferred genre/vibe. His guidance throughout the process was invaluable. On our wedding day, Ryan was perfect for the whole day. He was also extremely flexible given some last-minute music additions. We’ve heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests about the music – do yourself a favor for your Maine wedding and hire Ryan! You will not regret it, and the value you get for your money is fantastic.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Conor & Suzi in Northport, Maine 6/22/2024

Brian was a great DJ. He was very professional and accommodating for us. Having our calls with Ryan really gave us the confidence and trust that this team knew what they were doing and would make our special day great!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amy & Christian in Corinna, Maine 6/22/2024

Ryan & Matt, Thank you so much for your help and support with our wedding! We couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks for being a part of our day… we will make sure to recommend you to our friends. Thanks you again!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Alanna & Jeff in Ogunquit, Maine 6/15/2024

We couldn’t be happier with the team over at Maine Made Weddings. Everything was clearly communicated and the entire day was perfectly managed and handled by Ryan and Dom. I’d strongly recommend them to other weddings. There are so many behind the scenes details that they handled and they really play a vital role to the vibe of the day. Can’t thank them enough. Super accommodating and easy to work with. 10/10!!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amy & Ben in Freeport, Maine 6/8/2024

Ryan Ryan Ryan. Truly a master of his craft. He made the entire process leading up to the big day such an effortless breeze. The app given to us to curate our playlist was so easy to work with. The insightful questions and prompt were super helpful. Every step of the way Ryan was the greatest. And then came the big day. Such a pleasure working with such a professional. Our ceremony playlist was expertly timed and executed. Our dance floor was electric. Couldn’t be happier with the services provided!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ari & Claire in Scarborough, Maine 6/8/2024

My husband and I worked with Ryan and Dom. Ryan handled planning and Dom DJ’ed day-of. Ryan was extremely professional and offered helpful advice about placing certain songs, and made sure he understood our day-of timeline and preferences. The planning app they have for songs and other preferences was great; it was nice having everything available to add to and review. I wish more of our vendors used apps like this! Everything went smoothly on wedding day… We heard the songs on our “must play” list, and Dom kept everything on our timeline without any input or involvement from us, so we could fully enjoy our time with our guests. We would definitely recommend Maine Made Weddings!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rachel & Paul in Freeport, Maine 5/18/2024

We had an extremely easy and positive experience with Maine Made Weddings. The entire planning process was fool proof, using an app for the entire thing and a few phone calls! Matt, the DJ at our wedding, was awesome! Everyone said they enjoyed the music. Our DJ also stayed later than expected to see us through our private last dance – my favorite part of the entire night- despite some lingering guests who didn’t get the hint it was time to leave! 10/10 would recommend!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Abby & Jeremy in Acton, Maine 5/18/2024

Ryan was amazing throughout the entire process, and Brian was our DJ. They were easily the most communicative, responsive, and organized of everybody we worked with planning our wedding! The app was very user friendly and super helpful with creating the timeline of everything we needed… We would definitely hire them again, and highly recommend them for any event you’re planning!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meghan & Becky in Portland, Maine 11/18/2023

Ryan was an absolute star. From the very beginning, his planning process, communication, and organization was flawless. I’m a super organized bride, and found that a lot of vendors didn’t want to deal with the details until the last minute. Ryan was available with under 24-hour responses from the day of booking through the wedding day. He made an awesome custom intro for our grand entrance that really made an impact. He stood by during cocktail hour as we practiced our first dance in secret. He gave us great advice on the schedule, on announcements, etc. And most of all, the dance floor was a blast. He kept the night going and we had so much fun. Last but not least, he was extremely affordable. He was a joy to work with and so professional. We would work with Ryan again in a heartbeat!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alaina & Nick in Portland, Maine 11/18/2023

With music being such a big part of the wedding, we are so happy to have worked with Ryan and Maine Made Weddings, who made it easy, fun, and exciting. Ryan truly knocked it out of the park! Maine Made Weddings was recommended by our venue, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Ryan was attentive and always available when we wanted to chat or run through the playlist. The app provided was so easy to use and allowed us to create our dream ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner party, and dance party. 10/10 would do it again!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shelby & Eric in South Berwick, Maine 11/10/2023

From start to finish, Ryan was absolutely amazing to work with! The planning process was very straight forward with the website he uses. We were able to add our own music (which was a big plus), add details and work on a timeline all through the website to help the day to help make the day go smoother. Ryan was also able to make edits for us on a few of the songs, and the meetings we had were very helpful to nail things down as it got closer to the wedding. Our guests kept telling us how much fun they had and that the DJ was great! We would highly recommend Ryan and his business to anybody getting married!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maddie & Brandon in Sebago, Maine 10/14/2023

Maine Made Weddings made our music selection easy and stress free! Working with Ryan Gavin was truly amazing! We are still getting compliments from guests about the music, and people not wanting to leave the dance floor. 10/10!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alex & Jeff in Lyman, Maine 10/8/2023

Ryan was absolutely amazing! During the planning process he was so attentive and helpful answering any question and concern we had. At the wedding, he played music that was upbeat and really got the party started… We had a few last minute requests too, and he did not hesitate to accommodate those for us. As a vendor he really went above and beyond!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kori & Mat in South Berwick, Maine 10/1/2023

Our experience with Maine Made Weddings was wonderful. From the start Ryan and his team were on top of every little detail. Their software makes it super easy to figure out what music you want when and it even gives you suggestions by category. The team is super personable and exactly how you want a DJ to be.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tom & Lauren in Warren, Maine 9/30/2023

Our DJ, Matt, did a great job following what we had filled out on the app and making changes as we asked during the wedding night! We had several compliments from our guests, too. Ryan made the planning process very simple and was also a huge help!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chase & Aly in Skowhegan, Maine 9/29/2023

We had such a great experience working with Ryan and Maine Made Weddings. From the initial conversation to the day of our wedding he made us feel at ease about all things music and timeline related. It felt like he was not only our DJ, but a second day-of-coordinator. He was so easy to work with and flexible about moving our timing around so that there was no wasted time during the entire wedding day allowing our photographer to capture as much of the day as possible. During planning calls, Ryan was very professional and responsive, and we felt as if no stone was left unturned teasing out every single minute detail of our special day. We loved his planning app, helping us build a very personalized playlist but allowing him to use his skill and knowledge to really create an amazingly fun, energy-filled, and all smiles reception. He also provided lapel mics for the groom and officiant so that everyone could hear the ceremony so clearly. There were zero instances of “technical difficulties,” all toasters could just pick up a mic when it was their turn and just talk, everything was just so effortless thanks to Ryan. If we planned our wedding again, we would choose Maine Made Weddings in a heartbeat.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jon & Ashley in Newry, Maine 9/29/2023

Ryan did an excellent job DJing our wedding. He was very on top of things in the planning phase, so that he was sure he understood our vision. He uses a planning app that made it SO easy for us to plug in everything we wanted played, the timing, etc. on the day of he was flexible with some of my last minute requests. Thanks Ryan!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neli & Denny in Fryeburg, Maine 9/23/2023

Ryan was awesome with communication and helping with the planning process – specifically the timeline! I felt so much better after our first phone call because he not only eased my mind with the music, but my wedding day overall given his professional experience. We had DJ Dom at our wedding and he was AWESOME. So kind and efficient. The planning app used to make playlists and the timeline was so easy to use and really made the whole experience that much better. Highly recommend!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melanie & Austin in Otisfield, Maine 9/23/2023

I wish I could give Ryan more than 5 stars. We didn’t have a wedding planner, and our venue was very hands-off about things, so he was the glue that held the whole event together, from the ceremony all the way through the end of the reception. In our meetings leading up to the wedding, he was super organized and diligent in getting our preferences and planning the desired timing of things, so that we could enjoy the event stress-free. I loved the app he used for planning the playlists, which made it easy to import playlists from Spotify, plus he had a huge list of suggested songs to pull in. He provided lapel mics for the groom and officiant that worked perfectly for our ceremony by the lake, and then he helped move people along from the ceremony to cocktail hour on the patio and then into the dining room for dinner and our first dance, and then of course, kept people dancing on the dance floor all night. He focused on planning things ahead of time so that the actual event could have a bit of flexibility (e.g. if we wanted a little more time for cocktail hour or wanted to open the dance floor a bit early). I was just so impressed by the scope of the services he provided and the professionalism with which he delivered them. I hadn’t been sure initially if our small wedding really “needed” a DJ, but it did, one million percent. We can’t thank you enough, Ryan!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Libby & Isaac in Lovell, Maine 9/3/2023

Maine Made Weddings was outstanding! They saw our vision & executed to a T with the perfect playlist. The lighting they provided brought so much to the wedding as well. Ryan was very organized & kept the show on the road! He met with us twice before the big day to ease our minds & give us insights into what to expect. Book them!! Thanks so much!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily & Brad in Portland, Maine 8/26/2023

We had Ryan as our DJ and he was absolutely fantastic! He was wonderful to work with – was always super professional and nice. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. Many of our guests commented on how great he was!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kiley & Matt in Phippsburg, Maine 8/20/2023

Ryan and his team were amazing on our wedding day! Brian was our DJ and we had the best experience! Communication was amazing and they were open to all of our crazy ideas and were able to help create an experience that we will cherish forever! The process was seamless and was so easy!! I would recommend them 100x!!! My dad and I did a custom dance, and so did my husband and his mom, and they crushed it!!! Our timeline worked so well in accordance with our other vendors and it was just a great experience!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phoenix & Brandon in Corinna, Maine 8/19/2023

All my husband wanted for our wedding was for it to feel like a huge party and Ryan’s team did just that! Our DJ, Dom, had people up and dancing most of the night and kept our guests moving! They were so knowledgeable and accommodating we felt completely stress free about our day thanks to them! We even had to make a last minute addition(the night before) and Ryan was more than happy to accommodate. If you’re looking to have the best wedding or celebration this is the team to hire!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miranda & Kyle in Wells, Maine 8/19/2023

We absolutely loved our experience with Maine Made Weddings. First, they were very reasonably priced and curated a first-rate experience. As a very organized bride, I found their pre-planning flawless. They have you input your desired timeline with details into a software. You can add everything that’s on your mind which is SO helpful. For each of our 3 planning calls, we met with Ryan who was not only kind and honest but quite helpful about giving advice (he was right about all of it day-of!!). Ryan ended up being our DJ for the weekend as well. He was professional, timely, and read the crowd. We loved the lavalier mics (instead of handheld) for our ceremony, the uplighting for dancing, and the rare need for me to communicate with Ryan throughout the night. Everything went smoothly, even though our site was relatively complicated with 3 sound locations and at a summer camp. I would highly recommend Maine Made to anyone!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gabby & Mike in Naples, Maine 8/19/2023

Ryan was incredible throughout the planning process! He made us feel at ease from the beginning and we came to really value his insight. He is an absolute professional. In addition, the planning app Maine Made Weddings uses integrates seamlessly with Spotify and could not have been easier to use to help us make different song choices. We especially loved that we could include notes about each song and move the schedule ourselves within the app. Ryan was also extremely kind and flexible when it came to managing a terminal diagnosis within our family during wedding planning as well as in helping us to integrate a group reading during our ceremony. We truly felt so supported by him throughout this process. On our wedding day, Ryan was prompt (mentioned only because we got married on Peaks Island and that is not a small feat in that situation!) and continued to demonstrate his flexibility with the weather (it ended up storming at the last minute) and family members requesting a decrease in noise during dinner. During the dancing section of the night, Ryan made excellent additions to our song selections and the uplighting he provided really shifted the mood for our guests in a positive way. Our dance floor was packed until the end of the night […] We would absolutely recommend hiring Maine Made Weddings!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah & Jake on Peaks Island in Portland, Maine 8/4/2023

Ryan Gavin and Maine Made Weddings made our wedding the best party we could have dreamed of! Ryan was incredibly professional from the moment we engaged with him, he had great guidance for us throughout the whole process, and was always very responsive to our questions. Multiple guests told us that he was the best DJ they have heard at a wedding!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meg & Pat in Bethel, Maine 7/8/2023

Ryan was so amazing!!! He was one of my favorite people to work with. He’s extremely professional, flexible, has great advice, and will really set the tone for your wedding! I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much again Ryan… we loved it!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kenzie & Kam in Belfast, Maine 7/7/2023

Ryan and Maine Made weddings were so great for our July 2023 wedding. Ryan was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding – the planning software Maine Made Weddings uses made it super easy to collaborate and integrate seamlessly with our playlists, and the planning Zoom calls were super helpful. My husband and I were really particular about our playlists but were open to input from Ryan and he did a great job of making sure we had the right mix of music to appeal to all generations. Ryan was also really flexible and helpful with members of my extended family who performed a song at the reception – this was an absolute highlight of the day and I’m so glad we were able to make it happen. Thank you thank you Ryan and Maine Made Weddings!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leah & Alex in Portland, Maine 7/1/2023

I want to thank Ryan for the outstanding job and the utmost professionalism on taking care of our wedding. He was funny and a delight to have. I definitely recommend to hire him and will again myself if I need a some good music done!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rich & Cheryl in Oxford, Maine 6/17/2023

We had Ryan as our wedding DJ and he was professional, friendly, had just the right amount of extroversion and had an excellent quality sound system and lighting set up for our wedding at Granite Ridge. He had regular check ins with us to go over our timeline and plan, gave us a ton of freedom with the playlist, and played our music seamlessly without abrupt pauses or cut offs. We made a great choice with Maine Made Weddings and have no regrets!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Claudia & Jason in Norway, Maine 6/10/2023

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Katelyn & Scott on Peaks Island, Maine 6/3/2023

Brian is the MAN! He was friendly, professional and above-all super fun. He read the vibe of the night perfectly and chose the perfect mix of songs to keep the party going. He made everyone laugh and was accommodating of all our requests. The planning process with Ryan was easy and fun and he was in constant contact with us making sure all our needs were met. They recently developed an app for your phone so you can continuously update your preferences up until wedding day! I would recommend Maine Made Weddings as your DJ!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sam & Adam in South Berwick, Maine 4/22/2023

Our friends and family are still talking about how amazing our DJ, Ryan, was at our wedding almost two years later, and we agree! Even the folks not at our wedding who heard the party on the lake in our small town mentioned what a great DJ he was! Seriously the best decision we made for the wedding reception was calling Ryan. He read the room like a true professional and everyone had such a great time. Thank you Ryan and team!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leslie & Travis in Weld, Maine 8/1/2021 (Reviewed 1/28/2023)

Ryan Gavin was the best decision we made at our wedding! From the very beginning he was involved, friendly, accommodating, and truly was the easiest part of our wedding planning process. His platform and attention to detail made planning and song selection a breeze. He did a great job giving us recommendations, listening to our requests, and the day of he delivered! He was friendly and forward-leaning with his calls and planning process. He dealt seamlessly with issues that our venue threw on us at the last moment without missing a beat. I could not be happier with the experience.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scott & Cay in York, Maine 12/30/2022

We found Ryan through a friend who recommended him, and now we know why! He made us feel at ease from the start, which is invaluable when you’re planning a wedding. We had a packed dance floor all night long, and so many of our guests commented on what a great job he did! He was able to accommodate all of our requests, from the pre-planned ones to the spontaneous things that we requested during the reception. Don’t look any further, Maine Made Weddings is exactly what you need for your event!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jess & Jack in Carrabassett Valley, Maine 10/22/2022

Ryan was absolutely fantastic! He listened to us and helped when we needed direction or recommendations. We scheduled two zoom meetings prior to our wedding and he was so kind and understanding. We were able to easily add to our package, pay, and add or delete music throughout the process. They even have an app that makes planning so helpful! Would recommend 100% of the time to anyone looking for a fun and easy DJ.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meghan & Andrew in Fryeburg, Maine 10/15/2022

Maine Made Weddings was a fantastic vendor for our wedding! They really make it easy with their app, it lets you plan everything to a T and is super simple to use! Very helpful throughout the whole process, making sure we were on the same page and everything was when it needed to be on our timeline. Ryan edited songs for our wedding entrance & first dance and every cue was right on time! Ryan was great, he really kept the vibes up and the dance floor popping. We are so happy with how everything turned out and definitely recommend these guys for your future wedding! They are great, incredibly nice and know what they are doing so you’ll have no stress on the day of!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kayla & Ben in Bar Harbor, Maine 10/2/2022

Ryan and his team were amazing to work with. Ryan was so easy to talk with over the phone for all the wedding planning. We had some unexpected changes the day of the wedding and Dom made them happen so nobody even noticed. I would highly recommend Maine Made Weddings!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Megan & Eric in Acton, Maine 10/1/2022

Ryan was awesome from beginning to end. He was quick to respond regarding availability and package options. Communication was fast and he was organized and personable to work with. The music app was great and easy to use. Ryan was very accommodating as we had three different set up requests at the same venue. He was able to move equipment seamlessly and our ceremony, dinner and dance reception flowed exactly as desired. He was also great at keeping us aware of timeline and to keep our guests on task. Ryan definitely helped make our wedding day a wonderful time for us and our guests!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Debbie & Mike in Harpswell, Maine 10/1/2022

Ryan was great- the planning tools provided helped us communicate what we needed for the day, and he was very helpful in communicating during the weeks leading up to our wedding. He was very flexible with any last minute changes and requests that we made. We knew exactly what we wanted played during the ceremony and reception and he was happy to stick with our requests!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tad & Hallie in Gray, Maine 9/29/2022

Ryan was an absolute highlight of our wedding day. He was such a professional and brought immense energy and enthusiasm to our reception. We got to create our own playlist, which he improved and gave great suggestions on. He really impressed us with his knowledge and skills. He went above and beyond to make everything go smoothly with things like our reception entrance lineup. He was truly a pleasure to work with. We would recommend him to anyone, he will make your event so much better!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kirstin & Eric in Wells, Maine 9/25/2022

When picking a DJ, we felt in over our heads! We didn’t know how many songs really make up a wedding… there’s songs for cake cutting, dinner, dancing, etc., but with all the suggestions and popular song lists on our planning app, that really helped as well as Ryan giving us advice and listening to our ideas! He had a great energy about him and kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! We had two phone calls leading up to the wedding just discussing details, and Ryan never made us feel rushed and seemed excited and happy to talk to us, almost like an old friend. We really appreciate all the time and energy Ryan put in to making our wedding music perfect! Thank you so much Ryan!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brianna & Joe in Wells, Maine 9/18/2022

Ryan did an incredible job DJing our wedding. Between the two consultations we had with him, he prioritized understanding our music preferences and walking through the days itinerary in detail. He was incredibly organized, thoughtful and professional. The dance floor was the place to be at our wedding, and it was large in part to Ryan. Highly recommend!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda & Mark in Bethel, Maine 9/4/2022

Ryan, Thank you so much for your services at our wedding! You truly helped to create such a fun and inviting atmosphere. The work you did on the custom songs for our first dance and parent dances was amazing! You made everything so special… thank you again!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melissa & Thomas in Oxford, Maine 9/3/2022

Ryan was spot on with the music and made our special day better than I could have imagined!! Everyone was up and dancing the whole night & nobody wanted the party to end. Could not recommend enough. Thank you!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miranda & David in Wells, Maine 9/2/2022

The best dj service you could get! They were so informative and helpful through this entire process! They asked questions about things you do not even think of throughout planning your wedding, and the music was AWESOME! We received so many compliments all night on the DJ, no one wanted to stop dancing… and everyone was on the dance floor! Thank you so much!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sara & Derek in South Paris, Maine 8/27/2022

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Ryan. He was heavily involved and available during the planning of our wedding and open to catering the musical style to our preferences. He also ran things so smoothly during the event, and set up sound systems in our spaces that sounded great. Plus he’s cool guy. You can’t go wrong with Ryan Gavin at Maine Made Weddings!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ben & Laurel in Scarborough, Maine 8/27/2022

We loved Ryan Gavin with Maine Made DJs! We received feedback from our guests of all ages, all night, that the music was great! Ryan was communicative throughout the planning process, and we had a planning website page to help guide us through all of the music decisions. We provided Ryan with a playlist of songs we loved but also gave him the freedom to bring in other songs based on the vibe which he did! I would definitely recommend Maine Made DJs and would hire Ryan again!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rebecca & Michael 8/26/2022 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

I cannot rave about Maine Made DJs (and Ryan specifically) enough! Leading up to our wedding day we had great calls with Ryan who guided us through planning the music for our wedding. He helped us pick a few key songs (the online portal was super helpful) and also assisted us in our lighting choices. He had our entire wedding dancing all night! The dance floor was never empty and everyone had a wonderful time. You cannot go wrong booking MaineMade Djs.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MacKenzie & Tim in Boothbay Harbor, Maine 8/13/2022

Ryan and the Maine Made Weddings team were fantastic at our wedding! He was responsive and easy to talk to during the planning stage, and he made it clear from the start that he cared about our preferences and would take as much or as little guidance from us as we wanted. We gave him a moderate amount of direction—a list of about 10 “must play” songs and about 150 “can play” songs—but left the rest up to him. Giving him some discretion was a great decision in the end—he sequenced songs really well, and the transitions from song to song were excellent. The dance floor was packed all night! No matter how specific your vision for the playlist is, Ryan is a true professional and I would trust him to nail the music at any party.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jackson & Sam in Portland, Maine 8/7/2022

Ryan was incredible to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. We knew we wanted a DJ who could give us flexibility with our music, but also help us to outline what our reception timeline would look like. Ryan gave us great advice on timing (cake cutting, introductions, speeches, etc.) and we always felt like we could trust him. He even put together custom length songs for our formal dances, which sounded amazing! When we handed Ryan a Spotify playlist with 3 hours of music, he was excited to turn our ideas into an amazing party. Our guests told me how great our DJ was and how much they enjoyed the music. We truly feel so lucky to have found Ryan and Maine Made Weddings and could not recommend them enough for your wedding (or really, any party – he is awesome!)”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dan & Tori in Scarborough, Maine 8/6/2022

Ryan (and Maine Made Weddings) is everything you could ever ask for in a DJ experience. He is kind, knowledgeable, responsive, understanding, and, most importantly, he excels at what he does. We had an amazing time at our reception and danced with our friends until the very end of the night. Our friends walked away saying they had a blast — and all of that was made possible because of Ryan. We highly, highly recommend Maine Made Weddings!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scott & Emma in Portland, Maine 7/23/2022

Ryan Gavin was amazing to work with. He knows exactly how to balance your requests, like songs on a wedding playlist, with his professional insight and recommendations. While working with him, you could tell he was very experienced in DJing weddings and knew exactly which questions to ask along the way. We enjoyed most vendors we worked with, but we felt Ryan went out of his way to make our wedding personal and exactly what we envisioned. Thank you, Ryan!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nate & Dana in York, Maine 7/10/2022

Maine Made Weddings was amazing from the start! They had a speedy response with my initial quote request — we made our deposit to secure our date with them! We had access to a website to help fill in the songs we had picked for special moments through out our day — two months prior to our day Ryan checked in to schedule a meeting to go over everything we wanted for our big day! We kept pushing music off until the week before our wedding and Ryan made sure to squeeze in a meeting with me and went over our day from start to finish and he knew exactly what was needed! The day of the wedding we had Brian James as our DJ and he was perfect!!! The music selection was a perfect mix of what we requested and he kept the day flowing with songs everyone knows and loves! Once the real party started he made sure the dance floor was groovin! We also had a difficult family member and Brian remained calm, professional and respectful until we got the situation handled — we appreciate his understanding and handling of the situation! We will 100% use Maine Made Weddings/Maine Vibe for all our DJ needs in the future — thank you again for helping make our wedding everything we could have hoped for!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nicole & Scott in Gray, Maine 7/2/2022

Hi Ryan! We want to sincerely thank you and DJ Dominic for the most amazing wedding celebration last weekend. Dominic is so friendly, professional, and made our day so wonderful. The music was amazing and had everyone dancing all night long! We’ve already had multiple guests ask us for the playlist so they can use it at their upcoming weddings! Everything was just perfect and we truly appreciate all of the planning and hard work it took to make it happen. It really was one of the best nights of our entire lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Annie & Scott in Scarborough, Maine 6/25/2022

Ryan Gavin was our wedding DJ this weekend and I can not recommend him enough! Everyone had a blast at our wedding. Ryan was super friendly and easy to work with… He took the time to meet with us over zoom several times before the wedding to iron out all the details, and he can work with as much or as little direction as you want! He was able to read the room and keep the party going all night long!!! Stop looking and book Maine Made Weddings as your DJ!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Caitlyn & Mike in Portland, Maine 6/11/2022

Ryan and his group accommodated us last minute for our after party and they were TERRIFIC! Ryan is confident in his skills as a DJ and they made a truly memorable after party. He understood exactly the vibe and genre of music we wanted. Highly recommend!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rachael & Jason in Casco, Maine 5/28/2022

Ryan went above and beyond in his DJ skills! He listened to everything I asked for and executed it to a tee. The flow of music from one song to another was seamless, so the dance floor was always packed! I would definitely recommend hiring him and his team for your wedding, no matter what your music vibe is. He is very knowledgeable in all sorts of music genres. Very friendly and easy to talk to as well!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sydney & Kevin in Fryeburg, Maine 5/28/2022

Ryan was absolutely a pleasure to work with!!!! We would highly recommend his services. He played everything we asked for and also did a special introduction that we requested and nailed it! We had a small intimate wedding and it was very personalized!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Danielle & Aaron in Biddeford, Maine 5/25/2022

We highly recommend Ryan and the team at Maine Made Weddings for anyone’s wedding. They were so quick to communicate with us and made the whole process extremely easy and super flexible as well! The best choice we made out of all our vendors… Ryan was even able to customize a special song for us! Thank you so much.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kayle & Michael in Charleston, Maine 5/22/2022

I highly recommend booking Maine Made Weddings for your DJ services! They were very organized and were extremely patient with us as we tried to plan out the vibe of our wedding! They responded to our questions quickly and their planning site was very helpful! Thank you for making our wedding so special!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chrissy & Michael in Buxton, Maine 5/21/2022

Hi Ryan, thank you so much for absolutely rocking our wedding at French’s Point back in May! We had a blast and everything was absolutely perfect with the music – from the ceremony to the epic top-secret father/daughter dance – to the reception! It was a delight to work with you, and we appreciate everything about partnering with you and Maine Made Weddings. Thank you so much!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hilary & Casey in Stockton Springs, Maine 5/21/2022

All I can say is “wow!” From the very beginning virtually meeting Ryan with our phone calls, his communications, accommodations, complete and total investment in us- we couldn’t have wished for a better DJ to keep our family and friends dancing all night long. With a few special requests, the willingness of adaptability to our tastes and special songs was unmeasured. Ryan, I cannot thank you enough for making our music dreams come true. From walking down the aisle to “Now We Are Free”, to our parent dances, to the impromptu dance party before the dance door opened, to our closing song of “Coast of Maine”, I do not even have words to begin to thank you and I cannot wait to relieve this day over and over again in my head. We can’t wait to see you again and to continue to keep in touch! All the best!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hannah & Michael in York, Maine 5/14/2022

Ryan absolutely MADE our wedding. He was so kind, attentive and so easy to work with. Our planning calls were fun and such a breeze. During the wedding, every song was perfection. Our dance floor was constantly packed. Our guests were telling us they didn’t even leave for drinks because they didn’t want to miss dancing to the next song! Take it from me, this is your guy!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kelsey in York, Maine 5/7/2022

Ryan’s organization, friendliness, responsiveness, and professionalism made our reception an absolute blast! He was insanely detail oriented and we appreciated that so much. The dance floor was an absolute blast during our reception and our entire wedding party and guests couldn’t stop raving about Ryan. He listened to all our requests and gave awesome suggestions of his own. Coordinating with our reception venue was a breeze and our wedding coordinator at The Stonehurst Manor also stated how professional and fun he was to work with. Book Ryan!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rebecca & Matt in North Conway, New Hampshire 4/30/2022

Ryan Gavin was a spectacular DJ for our daughter’s wedding on April 9, 2022! He was very professional and fun to plan with. The evening music and all the special moments were seamless from the cocktail hour to the final moments of the reception. His friendly and enthusiastic demeanor engaged all guests. We highly recommend Ryan and Maine Made Weddings for your special event.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Val in Camden, Maine 4/9/2022

Thank you for making our special day even more special! Dom was terrific and from the very start you guys have been a class act to work with. Your service has been extremely professional and respectful of planning our wedding. We highly recommend Dom & Ryan and Maine Made Weddings if you want a very classy and tasteful DJ service for an elegant wedding!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kim & Peter in Kennebunkport, Maine 3/17/2022

Ryan was AMAZING! I knew from the beginning that he was going to be the DJ we chose for our special day. He was quick to respond and was more than happy to answer all of our questions. He did not pressure us into anything but was great at explaining everything he had to offer. He was also more than happy to change our wedding date this past year when we asked. He was great communication wise (and that is HUGE when you’re planning a wedding) and I felt 100% confident our day would be perfect with him and it definitely was. He went over so many things with us, even things we didn’t even think of. We were able to select and listen to music easily and picking our lighting preferences was fun too! He played all the music we requested plus more and was more than happy to play songs requested by quests as well (he made sure to ask us if things like that were okay ahead of time.) I 100% recommend using Ryan for your special day – you won’t be disappointed!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cody & Will in South Berwick, Maine 12/17/2021

Ryan is AMAZING. The entire day was perfect and flawless. He read the dance floor and kept our guests interested and involved. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ that’s just totally open and willing to do anything!! Thank you Ryan!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chelsea & Brenden in Rangeley, Maine 11/13/2021

Ryan was absolutely phenomenal! He was very courteous and easy to work with, and extremely accommodating. He met with us in advance and made sure he understood what we wanted prioritized. On wedding day, he made sure that the reception went smoothly, did a great job announcing, and made the party a huge success. We would highly recommend Maine Made Weddings!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bridgette & John in Ellsworth, Maine 11/6/2021

Ryan was amazing! He was professional and funny, helpful and polite. He helped us through the entire planning process for our Halloween wedding, and during the wedding had a great selection of music along with the tracks we had selected. The entire experience was made way easier with him to help!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marley & Ais in Orono, Maine 10/31/2021

If we could give more than 5 stars we absolutely would!!!!!! Ryan is such a kind person and is so easy to talk to! We met face to face for the first time while I was walking down the aisle and I felt like I’ve known him for years. He is incredibly knowledgable on anything music and flow of the evening – things you wouldn’t even THINK are important (who knew we needed to plan when the cake cutting would happen and also have a song picked out for it!?). He was always super responsive and took the time to go over the timeline with us a few times to make sure that the day would run smoothly – and OH MY GOODNESS it was the smoothest day. The ceremony was incredibly played, and our reception was the absolute part of the year. Ryan kept everyone on the dance floor, played the perfect set of music in the perfect order. There was never a dull moment. We cannot recommend Ryan enough, you won’t be disappointed!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kaitlyn & Michael in Bethel, Maine 10/10/2021

Our wedding was the best night of our lives truly. Everyone was dancing and having a blast and that was because of how great Ryan was! Leading up to the wedding, we had two meetings with Ryan and he led us through each detail to ensure we would get everything we wanted. He put our minds at ease with how organized he was. We even added an extra event in which people had to pay $3 to listen to Jessie’s girl (groom’s name is Jesse) and he went all in with clipping the song perfectly to play whenever someone dropped cash in the bucket. It was a huge hit and so much fun! We highly recommend Ryan for any event!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kelsey & Jesse in Portland, Maine 10/9/2021

Three weeks before our wedding, my now husband and I were left scrambling to find a new DJ! We looked here and sent out a few mass requests & Ryan Gavin got back to us almost immediately saying our date was available! Within minutes, Ryan had us set up for a zoom meeting to meet him. We met the next day and started the planning shortly after; Ryan’s energy and enthusiasm was unbeatable. Even with the time crunch, Ryan went above and beyond to ensure us that we were in good hands & to make sure we could relax and have fun. His professionalism & attention to detail during our planning was far beyond what we could have imagined. He even designed our own monogram and took our wants to the next level to make our wedding day the best it could be! We are so thankful for Ryan and Maine Made Weddings for literally saving our wedding day!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sydney & Ryan in Portsmouth, New Hampshire 9/3/2021

We absolutely loved working with Ryan! He’s both an amazing DJ and a great person to work with before the wedding. All our guests sang his praises. He did an amazing job adjusting the music to the crowd’s energy and keeping our guests dancing all night. We also really appreciated Ryan’s ability to balance our own input with his expertise. Ryan was so accommodating, meeting with us before our wedding to discuss what we wanted, answering our questions, and making sure we were 100% happy. We booked Ryan on short notice but his flexibility, friendliness, and calmness gave us so much confidence throughout the process and on the day of the wedding. Do yourselves a favor and hire Ryan, we can’t recommend him highly enough!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eliza & Dave in Portland, Maine 8/13/2021

We had to find a DJ somewhat short notice, so I would’ve settled for basically anyone at that point. I had low expectations. But wow, my expectations were exceeded times 1000 by Maine Made Weddings. From the very beginning, Ryan was extremely organized and in close contact with us. I loved the website; we could literally go in anytime we wanted and customize the worksheet of the entire night. He facilitated the whole night just spectacularly! He was so sweet and worked with all of our requests, and our rowdy family and friends. I would absolutely recommend Ryan and I’m sure anyone else in this company. Couldn’t have asked for more, and the pricing was great too. 10/10!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah & Tom in Concord, New Hampshire 8/6/2021

Ryan was a stellar DJ. He was professional and excellent right from the beginning and was flexible with our COVID reschedule. During our planning session he provided us with a framework and was able to steer us in the right direction. Ryan provided the majority of the playlist for the wedding and our guests danced all night long! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shelby & Matt in South Paris, Maine 7/31/2021

Ryan was such a joy to work with during our wedding in Bar Harbor. He was readily available via email and Zoom meetings to help us smooth out timelines for our reception. Due to COVID and the Canadian border not opening, our guest list was cut in half very close to the wedding. Ryan had great ideas to help us figure out games in case our guests did not want to dance, and was willing to emcee for us! He was great with unexpected/on the fly requests when we decided to do a big sing along last minute. He was fantastic and we would definitely recommend Maine Made Weddings to anyone!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jen & Dave in Bar Harbor, Maine 7/2/2021

Ryan was an excellent DJ. He met with us multiple times to go over the timeline, music selection, and answer any questions we had. On wedding day, he played fantastic selections that kept everyone on the dance floor. He was very professional and so easy to work with! And the price is hard to beat!! Thanks again for a great wedding, Ryan!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brenda & Nate in Yarmouth, Maine 5/28/2021

Ryan Gavin and Maine Made Weddings made sure the soundtrack to our day was perfect! We felt so lucky to have scored such a highly coveted DJ for our wedding day. When we were doing our initial search for DJs there was some sticker shock. We were worried our DJ dreams would be compromised, but then we found Ryan’s company and it was a done deal! We think Maine Made Weddings is the best deal out there, there wasn’t a single thing missing from our experience and we didn’t have to put ourselves in debt. We got to meet with Ryan and share our musical vision for the day, he was very helpful in customizing everything for us. Everything was so easily organized on an online portal we could log in and add different songs anytime we wanted before the big day. Plus with Ryan’s experience and professionalism he always picked the right song for every moment, too. We really appreciated his extra hard work during the COVID-19 pandemic as our nuptials did have to be postponed. He was very flexible and made it very easy for us! We definitely recommend Maine Made Weddings to every couple!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carrie & Jared in South Berwick, Maine 5/22/2021

We had a very last minute Covid wedding and the event would not have been half of what it was without Ryan as our DJ. He was absolutely amazing through every step of the way and worked with us to achieve a years worth of planning on our timeline! We had many specific personalization requests and he made it all happen! We worried about what a dance floor would be like with only a few guests but he took requests all night and kept our wedding upbeat and energized! Not to mention, he placed high emphasis on safety and worked with us to achieve a safe environment for everyone at our wedding. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shannon & Matt in York, Maine 10/23/2020

Ryan did a great job DJing our wedding! He was super personable and carefully listened to our wants and needs throughout the planning process. He did a great job keeping the party going throughout the night- our dance floor was full, start to finish! Highly recommended!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brittany & Alex in Hallowell, Maine 10/26/2019

Our DJ, Ryan Gavin, truly outdid himself and our expectations both leading up to and during our wedding day. The team is extremely detail-oriented and wants to curate not only a playlist, but also an experience that it completely tailored to the couple. Before our wedding date, Ryan and I went back and forth quite a bit on what types of music we would like to be played, the logistics of the day, and most importantly who Alex and I were. There were zero hiccups, and Ryan’s professionalism was incredible. Additionally, the amount of reviews we got from our guests about the music was incredible! Music is one of, if not the most important element to any wedding and when people rave about the songs we played – we knew we made the right decision with Ryan. I cannot recommend Maine Made Weddings enough… and in particular Ryan for making our day absolutely perfect.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Megan & Alex in Buxton, Maine 10/19/2019

Ryan is great to work with, and I highly recommend him as a DJ for your special event! Everyone knows that music can make or break a party, but Ryan had everyone dancing our entire reception with old-school requested hits, rock songs, and our favorite pop tunes. He’s super open to your style, and works to accommodate your requests. We had different styles of music from our cocktail hour, to dinner and the reception… and it all went seamlessly. Thanks, Ryan!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Danielle & Ryan in Saco, Maine 10/5/2019

Ryan was very professional, friendly, funny (!), and accommodating. He put up with all of our unusual requests and over-reactive personalities and always knew from the beginning how to put on a great show! There was nothing we asked of him that he couldn’t do, and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you’re ever doing something special or unusual, this is your guy. He makes it look easy so you don’t have to worry at all!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anthony & Hannah in Portland, Maine 9/14/2019

Hi Brian, We just wanted to reach out and thank you again for your services this weekend… It was awesome! Everyone loved you guys, and you kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! I will be sure to recommend you guys to anyone looking for a DJ! Thanks again!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kristina & Brad in Harrison, Maine 9/7/2019

We had Ryan Gavin as our DJ and he was amazing! Ryan was so professional to work with before the wedding… We met with him early on to give us an idea of the things we should be thinking of, and he followed up with us before the wedding on last minute details as well. We loved using the online planning site too… it was so easy to use! Ryan was excellent with our guests and friendly too! He did both the reception and ceremony, and it was a small wedding but he made it feel like there was a big party going on the entire time! It was amazing and he turned our barn into a giant dance floor! Loved all the lights he set up and how he set up microphones for speeches. He really knew what he was doing, but he made sure we all knew what the plan was before the day of the wedding… because he didn’t want to bother us on our big day with questions or timing of things! I really enjoyed having him at our home celebrating with us! Thank you Ryan!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anna & Alex in Wells, Maine 9/1/2019

Hi Brian, Wow! What more can we say, other than thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. I truly believe that our day wouldn’t have been the same without a DJ, and I’m so glad that we found you! The night was purely magical and a night that we’ll never forget! From our “must-have” songs, our first dance, and everything in between – it was perfect! Thank you so much – we appreciate everything you did for us, and we hope to stay in touch!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sean & Samantha in North Yarmouth, Maine 8/31/2019

Ryan was awesome! He was flexible but still kept the schedule on track. He provided a lot of great advice and guidance upfront and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted beforehand. The music was great – he kept the dance floor packed all night! Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth and fun DJ with invaluable knowledge and experience.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kristen & Matthew in Windham, Maine 8/31/2019

Ryan was the DJ for both our ceremony and reception and did a phenomenal job! So many of our guests complimented all of the great music he played and said that it was the most fun they’ve had at a wedding. He did a great job playing a variety of music that perfectly fit our 90’s country tastes, while also accommodating the different ages and tastes of all our guests. We highly recommend him and appreciate everything he did to make our wedding extra special.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ McKenzie & Larry in Bridgton, Maine 8/24/2019

Hi Ryan, We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything on Saturday! It was so incredibly fun… and that’s all thanks to you for keeping up with our dancing friends! The music was perfect and everyone gave us huge compliments! We’ve already recommended you to a few family members. Thank you for keeping the dance floor full!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kaitlyn & Kendall in Warren, Maine 8/17/2019

Ryan was great! He was so flexible and went above and beyond to incorporate any kind of music we wanted! He was always responsive via email and phone and was so kind and patient when it took us a while to get him finalized lists! He guided us through different parts of the day to make sure everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nikka & Ivan in Portland, Maine 6/22/2019

Hey Ryan! Sam and I wanted to send a huge thank you to Brian, Dom and yourself! We were extremely pleased with how easy you guys were to work with, you were so accommodating, quickly got back to us, and made our wedding day so awesome! Brian & Dom went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly for our wedding… they arrived early to set up, the ceremony music was perfect and even with a super tight space in the venue they still made it work. They were so professional and were willing to stay an hour later at the last minute to keep the party going. Numerous guests commented on how awesome our DJs were! Thanks again, and we highly recommend your services to anyone!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tabby & Sam in Warren, Maine 6/22/2019

Our experience with Maine Made Weddings was absolutely amazing! Between working with Ryan on planning and coordination, to working with Brian on the perfect playlist for our wedding day, the whole process was awesome! My wife and I couldn’t be happier… Thank you SO much to the both of you for a great night. Highly impressed, thrilled with the service, and we would gladly recommend!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greg & Alex in South Berwick, Maine 3/2/2019

We cannot say enough great things about Ryan! He was fantastic to work with, and he helped our dream wedding become a reality. He kept us informed throughout the night about timeframes and kept the beat going when it was time to dance. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for the perfect DJ!!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ashley & Wade in Wells, Maine 10/13/2018

Hi Ryan, Thank you so much! We had such an amazing time, our wedding was even more fun than we expected. You facilitated everything so smoothly and even went with the flow when we had last minute changes. We could tell that all of our guests were having a great time when the dance floor was still overflowing at last call! The next day we received many compliments on our DJ from not only friends but also family members who were happy that you played music they love and could dance to. You really created the party vibe we were hoping for! Thanks for being fun and professional and making sure our big day went smoothly! I will definitely recommend you to any friends looking for a DJ in the future!”

We had Ryan Gavin as our DJ for the entire wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.) He was incredible! I did not make a playlist at all for the reception, I just had a few songs I wanted played and he did all the rest! People attending kept telling me that my playlist was great but I didn’t have anything to do with it! Ryan knew exactly what the vibe of the group was and which songs kept the dance floor busy the entire night. He was actively sound mixing during our ceremony to make sure that the wind wasn’t impacting the quality of our ceremony. Just very thoughtful and professional. Highly recommend for your wedding!”

Ryan was our DJ for our wedding at the Mountain House in Newry, and he was fabulous! We had booked him about a year prior to our event and he was so helpful throughout the entire planning process of our wedding. He was easy to contact, quick to respond and had a ton of great ideas. His website had a bunch of great planning tools which we used and lists of great songs for dancing too! He helped us with planning the flow of our wedding and did both the ceremony and the reception. Ryan gave us a timeline with all of our selections and even sent an audio clip of the song I walked down to isle to as a surprise for my now husband. He is super professional and so easy to work with. Some of our guests and the and venue staff were a bit difficult on wedding day, but Ryan was incredibly professional and handled everything… and most importantly, he made our day stress-free. We cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! The music selections he made had all of our guests up and dancing! Five days later my feet still hurt from dancing nonstop!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Colleen & Nick in Newry, Maine 07/21/2018

There’s a reason why we booked Ryan almost a year and a half before our wedding date. A few close friends from college recommended him to us, and our wedding reception turned out to be one of the best nights of our lives! Ryan had 100 people on the dance floor for over two and a half hours on a hot night in Maine, and we’ve got the videos to prove it! From his touching details at our ceremony to playing all of our favorite music at dinner, Ryan’s music and DJ expertise was the one part of our wedding day that really made it a wedding. And he’s even on the radio! Fans for life.”

We don’t even know where to start! From the minute we first talked with Ryan, we knew that our wedding was going to be awesome. His attention to detail while we planned our dream wedding and reception was astounding, but we were really blown away by the way he picked some of our favorite music just by talking to us about what we liked! We were torn between a few different DJs for our barn wedding this year, but I can’t even imagine what it would have been like without Ryan! We highly recommend him to anyone who wants a party where everyone gets up and keeps dancing all night long!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiffany & Luke in Fryeburg, Maine 05/26/2018

Ryan was absolutely amazing, and he was great behind the microphone! Ryan helped us plan both our ceremony and reception, and he helped create such a fun atmosphere at the wedding. I have to say he made the wedding so fantastic and everyone loved the music all night long! I highly recommend him… over 100% amazing!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mike & Monica in Bangor, Maine 10/22/2017

Ryan did a great job at our wedding on board the Bay Mist! He was in contact leading up to the day, and was extremely flexible. He was willing to work with us, and help us decide on music choices too. I’m sure we didn’t stick to the plan on the day of, but he was great at going with the flow and making adjustments as we needed them. I highly recommend Ryan with Maine Made Weddings. Thank you!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nikki & Dan in Portland, Maine 9/16/2017

Ryan did an AMAZING job at our wedding reception this fall at the Portland Marriott Hotel. The guests were on the dance floor all night long! We just couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Thank you Ryan for making the process smooth and easy for us newly weds. Highly Recommended!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda & Michael in South Portland, Maine 9/9/2017

Ryan was our DJ this past weekend (June 17th, 2017) for our wedding located at Joseph’s by the Sea in Old Orchard Beach, ME and he did an outstanding job! Everything we asked for, he did! And let me also mention that we live 5 hours away from Maine, but he was so good with communicating… We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He played just the right music to keep everyone out on the dance floor, and he went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was absolutely perfect. I will recommend him over and over again!”
