Ryan Cook Music

Hi, my name is Ryan. Most people that find themselves here on my site are couples that are lovers of music and are looking for music to play a key role in their wedding. I always thought that music does a good job of capturing the emotional undercurrent of the day, aka vibe. This vibe is a reflection of the bride and the groom’s love for each other. It also reflects the vibes of their friends and family that are there to celebrate with them and each other. Here you have the opportunity to reach out to one of the great wedding bands in Bucks County PA. I perform at wedding all throughout the greater Philadelphia area such as Willow Grove, Horsham, Southampton, Doylestown, and Richboro. Also if you’re looking for a wedding DJ, you’re in luck as I can also provide the DJ services for your wedding. Get in touch here, and let’s find a time to talk about your wedding music! Throughout the wedding day the various expressions of vibe are transmitted into vibrations through the airwaves bringing everybody together through a shared experience. You know, many of your guests are having little reunions of their own, having great conversations, while enjoying the food and drink. These all would be separate experiences if it wasn’t for the music. While all of these wonderful people are having their isolated experiences – your wedding band is putting out the music that is simultaneously being experienced by everyone bringing them all together in this shared musical experience. And these vibes are the most important thing. Reminding everyone why they are here, to celebrate your love, the love of friends and of family both present and beyond. As you can tell, it’s not just wedding musicians playing music or DJs mixing songs but deep preparation in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The wedding day is no exception. So no matter where your wedding is in Bucks County or Montgomery County, I show up about 2 hours before the prelude music starts. This is because in the spirit of providing the best wedding music experience I need to make sure that the DJ setup with all its speakers, mixing turntable, computer, lights, etc. is set up as well as the ceremony & cocktail hour live music before anything starts so that I’m simply walking from one set up to another to limit any transition time between the ceremony & cocktail hour or the cocktail hour and dinner/reception. How do we determine the orchestration for your wedding? Orchestration is something that makes a difference when it comes to the Live Music portion of your wedding. We have to determine whether a Quartet, Trio, Duo or Solo performance is best for your particular wedding. This is going to have an effect on the price & refinement of the musical experience. My wedding band is based in Willow Grove and I travel to wedding venues all throughout Bucks County and Montgomery County. I perform at wedding in places like Horsham, Doylestown, Southampton, and Richboro, and I’ve also done weddings in Newtown and Yardley. I also travel out to places like King of Prussia, Ardmore, and the rest of the Main Line. Pretty much if your wedding is taking place within an hour and a half drive from me, you’re within my range. If I’m performing Solo, I’m playing acoustic or electric guitar depending on the song. That guitar is going into a looper station. As I’m going through the song while singing and manipulating recording studio quality dynamic percussion I may get to a part of the song where an instrumental would be nice. Secretly, I was recording the verse chords from earlier and when I get to playing the instrumental I have the chordal structure in the loop to provide me with a sonic landscape for my instrumentals to build upon. All this you probably would have already seen in the Live Music videos I have throughout this site or elsewhere. If I bring the wedding band together and play with the Duo, Trio or Quartet, then I’m delegating some of what I do to the other live musicians.
