DJ RIAN SOULELES

DJ

I've been a music lover and a musician my entire life, tuning my musical taste just as a professional chef explores the world's cuisine through a whirlwind of sampling delicious street food and five star restaurants. As a DJ, I love playing good music spanning all genres and eras from the familiar to the groove-tinged offbeat and obscure. There is an ineffable quality to timeless music, and, when utilized effectively, is a powerful force that will make your guests commune, have fun, and dance.

I consider myself a scholar and scientist of the music that people love the most: the music that conveys emotion and nostalgia. Every DJ set I perform is a story, a unique soundtrack created for and about that moment. Many listeners feel like I’m reading their minds, and are surprised when they hear their favorite song or one they haven’t heard in years.

At your venue, I will read the audience and personalize a dynamic and seamless mix of music that reflects the collective identity of the listeners, and creates a soundscape that amplifies the spirit of the room. Read more

    One of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding, hands down. I am very particular about music and have a wide and some would consider, eclectic music taste. The LAST thing I wanted was some corny, canned wedding dj that played the songs at every wedding that no one really wants to hear. Rian understood my tastes and delivered. ...

    DJ Rian was a pleasure to work with, he played a hit list that kept the dance floor full all night long!! We had a blast with him and cannot recommend him highly enough. He not only knocked the reception out of the park but did a fantastic job for the ceremony and welcoming guests. He found all our favorite songs and added so many that went perfectly with the vibe and day!

    Rian is the best DJ! He is so friendly, intuitive, knowledgeable, professional, and energetic. Before our wedding, he asked us great questions about music that we like as well as music that is meaningful to us individually and to our families and friends. He really helped us navigate how to structure our ceremony, immediately after, the first dance, and the various stages of the receptions. His taste in music is phenomenal, he gave 150%, and we can't recommend him highly enough!

Having great music was extremely important for my husband and I, as this is essential to us for keeping the celebration alive. ...

    My Wife and I booked Rian for our outdoor wedding up north in Bellingham, Washington and we couldn't be happier. We were initially drawn to his cocktail playlist which is very chill and unique. When he sat down with us to review what sort of music we liked he was engaged and genuinely interested in who we were and what we wanted. ...
