Hi, I'm Ryan Boden DJ 👋

Booking me means ditching the boring formula for something genuinely you. Think powerful singalongs, guitars, drums, and the songs that brought you and your partner together in the first place.
Looking for a wedding DJ who’ll play your favourite indie, rock, emo, and pop-punk anthems instead of the usual cheese? You’ve just found the ONLY Alternative Wedding DJ in the North. Think MTV Rocks meets Kerrang with a few classics for the parents. I bring everything - awesome tunes, a big sound system & classy lighting - so you can focus on the Jägerbombs.

Ryan Boden DJ | The Alternative Wedding DJ Full Description

THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE WEDDING DJ

Looking for a wedding DJ who’ll blast indie, rock, emo, and pop-punk anthems instead of the usual dated crowd-pleasers? You’ve just found the ONLY Alternative Wedding DJ in the North. Think MTV Rocks meets Kerrang – edgy, fresh, and totally your vibe. Sure, I can slip in a few classics for the parents early on, but once things really get going, it’s all sweaty gig energy, minus the cringe. Unless you’re absolutely begging for “The Macarena,” in which case, you owe me a drink.

YOUR DAY, YOUR TUNES

I’m not your typical DJ in a frilly shirt pressing play on the same old playlist. Every set I craft is built around your tastes – Arctic Monkeys, My Chemical Romance, whatever makes you tick, and that obscure B-side you were obsessed with as a teenager. We’ll have a proper chat beforehand so I can lock down your favourite tracks. No forced line dances, no cheesy routines – just a seamless blend of nostalgia and fresh tunes that actually mean something to you.

WHY ‘ALTERNATIVE’?

Because I ditch the tired wedding clichés. If you want The Darkness “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” for your first dance, we’ll make it happen. If you’re after vibrant British indie instead, no problem. Going alternative is all about binning bland routines and pumping your personality into the day.

PROFESSIONAL SOUND, NO CHEESE

I’m still a professional, which means top-notch equipment and flawless mixing. I use an RCF sound system so everything sounds mint. I’m always reading the room and switching it up when needed. If your guests need a boost of energy, I’ll drop something with a sing-along chorus. If they’re already bouncing off the walls, I’ll keep that vibe going until the venue staff are begging us to pack up.

WHEREVER YOU’RE TYING THE KNOT

I’m based in Newcastle but will happily trek to your barn in the Lake District, that industrial warehouse in Leeds, or a stately home in Northumberland. Expect solid communication from the words “headliner confirmed”.

Played the best mix of songs & understood the vibe
Highly recommend! The booking process was really easy and straightforward. Ryan was really professional and happy to help with any questions we had throughout. He was really receptive to our requests and during the reception itself played the best mix of songs, understood the vibe and the brief perfectly!

Ryan has the best set up and lighting rig
Ryan was the best wedding DJ we could have asked for. He read the room perfectly and played great songs, has the best set up and lighting rig, and was a pleasure to work with from day 1 of booking him. My husband is Icelandic and Ryan flawlessly fit in Icelandic songs to his playlist throughout the night with absolutely no issues. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married, and I wouldn't hesitate to book him for any future events we may have!

Our guests had a blast
Ryan was the DJ for our wedding on the 18th Feb 2023 and we honestly couldn't of asked for more. He played literally everything we asked for before the wedding and nothing was any bother on the night. Our guests had a blast and have said how good you were on the night going from one banger to another. You certainly satisfied all the dance/ trance fans! The custom edit you did for our first dance was also perfect. I only wish I could dance 😂 Thanks again and we will certainly recommend you.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! Ryan was awesome and played amazing music all night! Not only is he an amazing DJ he also kept our secret wedding a secret 🤐 Ryan was meticulous and thorough in the planning of the music and made sure we had music styles to suit our likes and dislikes! We went for the wedding package plus an hour which was extremely good value for money.

We hired Ryan to DJ at our wedding and I’m so pleased we did!!! He was absolutely on it with the music choices and really knew and understood what we wanted.

He made it easy for us
Booked Ryan for our wedding at Newton Hall and he was nothing short of amazing. The setup, with the lighting and the sound was high quality. Ryan kept the dance floor busy all night, and we and the guests loved him - so many people went out of their way to compliment him to us after the wedding! Having a good evening atmosphere was something we really wanted, and Ryan delivered that to the highest quality. He made it easy for us because we didn’t want to supply a playlist.

We had a amazing night
Ryan recently performed for our wedding and we were absolutely over the moon with how professional, polite and friendly he is. He did everything we asked and more and we couldn't recommend him enough. We had a amazing night and part of that was thanks to him. All the best Ryan and thank you from Mr and Mrs Stewart.

Ryan absolutely understood the assignment!
We got in touch with Ryan for our wedding after looking online at many different DJ options and deciding that he looked the most experienced, knowledgeable and best rated for the kind of vibe we wanted. Music was such a central part of our whole wedding day that we needed to make sure the evening party matched expectations, and Ryan absolutely understood the assignment!
