Ryan’s Story

With a background in radio presenting and as a club DJ, Ryan has been positioning himself as a high-end DJ for the last decade. He joined DFC as a wedding DJ in March 2014, and has recently been trained by the team to add to his skills as an all-day wedding host.

Ryan said; “I’d been working as a one-man-band for a long time and couldn’t compete with agencies, and yet the agencies I did work for (before finding DFC) frustrated me due to the lack of high standards. “I never wanted to work for an agency, but I saw the team from DFC in action and knew that their values aligned with mine. I also quickly realised the value of having the support team back at head office, who take away all of the admin and leg work – leaving me to focus on what I do best and that’s making sure wedding guests have the best time ever.

“You only get one shot at a wedding, you cannot get it wrong. You have to make sure you’re on top of your game and so for me, it was an easy decision to join DFC who are top of that game, market leaders and an inspiration. If you’re a DJ, I’d urge you to get in touch and see if you could fit with the team. I’ve learned so much in my time here and it was one of the best decisions I made in my career.”
