HOLIDAY PARTY
Music was perfect, great personality and he intermingled with the guests. Guests have approached me and requested his return. I was amazed that the music range was from listening to dancing, he even had audience participation, which earned him the fifth star.

My experience with Ryan and the West Coast wedding Band was extraordinary! I'm a professional wedding planner and our couple in August 2019 hired Ryan for their wedding. From the moment I started communicating with his management team I knew they were going to be great. I received fast responses and personality plus!
When I met Ryan he was insanely talented and personable. He was professional and prompt and his talent is unreal! He's an amazing musician and I have recommended him to my other wedding couples and I will continue to recommended them for years to come! Thanks again Ryan for making K+A's wedding day so special!!

I have had some wonderful comments from my friends and family regarding your performance at my reception! Many were impressed with your vocals and song arrangement - so thank you so much for entertaining everyone while we were getting photos!
Also, I loved the way you were able to incorporate my wording change in Make It Sweet during the ceremony, that was awesome! I also loved walking down the aisle to I get to love you!

50th BIRTHDAY & ENGAGEMENT PARTY
Ryan is the greatest! Truly a great person he aims to please with any event detail and definitely with his performance. Ryan & Jacqueline helped make this a special moment for me. Not only was it my 50th birthday I was also planning on proposing to my girlfriend. My friends and I were foot tapping or singing along we all loved his voice. After my big announcement he made the moment more intimate and special, for my fiancé and I . I couldn’t have been more happier and pleased with his performance, Ryan you rock!

Ryan’s singing was even more spectacular live then in the recordings! The wedding was a little crazy and the schedule a little off (but doesn’t that make for a great wedding?!) and Ryan was professional and accommodating in all aspects. Highly recommend Ryan for your event!

We hired Ryan Laird for our company annual holiday party. Communication before the event was highly professional. His performance was outstanding and plays a wide variety of music. I would highly recommend Ryan for any event.

SPECIAL REQUESTS & RECEPTION
It's hard to put into words the emotion that we felt when we heard our special song performed live at our reception by Ryan as we danced for the first time as husband and wife. He made it come to life and I am so glad that we chose to have him sing it for us, instead of a recording.
For the rest of the night he kept every up on the dance floor one song after another. I wish we could do it again!!

WEDDING RECEPTION
Ryan and the band played our wedding at Hycroft Manor in Vancouver this August and were fantastic! They have such a wide range that they can accommodate into their set-list (we certainly tested them on this and they more than delivered); they managed the feel of the crowd/party keeping the dance floor full and energetic; and they kept going until the very last second the venue would allow them and more.
Additionally, Ryan did an acoustic set on the veranda for our first dances which was amazing!
Kyla and I couldn't recommend them more, you will have an amazing time with these guys as your band choice.

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY
Five stars for Ryan. From our initial contact through to the event I was overwhelmed by the professionalism. The initial contact was detailed offering more than one option; absolutely articulate. Arrangements were simple and he was so punctual; to the minute.
Talented, tall, dark and handsome. Guests at our event turned me into a pop star for choosing him. Brilliant voice. Everyone loved him. Thanks Ryan. Truly fabulous.

Ryan performed at our wedding reception yesterday and all I can say is... WOW! He really won over all the guests and kept the party rocking for us into the evening hours... such a fun, talented, likeable guy! Coordinating our day with Jacqueline was very easy.

INTIMATE WEDDING CEREMONY
Ryan was a warm addition to our intimate wedding of 16. He learned our favourite songs, from country to R&B, and sang them in an authentic, smooth voice. Our ceremony wouldn't have been the same without him and we highly recommend him!

WEDDING PACKAGE & COORDINATION
From the moment we contacted them to inquire about booking for our wedding, we were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and all the extra help that was offered. It really took the pressure off and made it stress-free so we knew exactly what we were getting. She helped match our requests and took the time to chat with us on the phone as well during the planning process.
As for Ryan and the band? They were exactly as we expected them to be... amazing!! Thank you!!

FULL WEDDING PACKAGE
We had our entire music day from start to finish with the outstanding entertainment of Ryan Laird and his band. Ryan performed at our ceremony and cocktail hour, where I heard nothing but great feedback from my guests. Later on, they continued the party with us at our reception and catered to our first dance and father/daughter song requests. They are a band that knows how to get the crowd on the dance floor and that is exactly what we were hoping for!

WEDDING RECEPTION
Highly, highly recommend Ryan Laird and the Best Coast Boys as entertainment for your event. We had them play at our wedding in Tofino and it was an absolute blast. The most compliments we got, by far, were for this band. “Who are they?” “Where did you find them?” “They are so good!”
The songs they played were awesome; they even performed our first dance song and father/daughter song. We are so happy they made it to our wedding because they were exactly the kind of band we were looking for: talented and entertaining.
Communication was very easy; they were always quick to respond.
Ryan and his wife even welcomed a baby a few days before, and he STILL made it out for our wedding. That is commitment. (I also bugged him about getting back right away to be with them).

CORPORATE PARTY
We hired Ryan to play at our sales offsite meeting in September 2022. The team was absolutely fantastic through every step of the process, responsive, open to discussing the set list (and vibe we were looking to create). They showed up early and introduced themselves to everyone. Ryan was engaged (and engaging) from the moment he arrived to the moment he left. Recognizing that we were tight for time, Ryan didn't take a break for 2 1/2 hours! He played straight through to ensure that we got the entire set in. Ryan is an incredibly skilled musician. He has a tremendous voice, impressive guitar chops and can play a wide range of genres. Overall, it was an A++++ experience and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Ryan again. In fact, I'm looking forward to it next time we're in BC.

WEDDING RECEPTION
Where to start!? Ryan and the Best Coast Boys played at our wedding and completely exceeded expectations! Communication with the manager was smooth and timely. We were able to hammer out the details of the booking over the course of a few emails and they made sure that all questions were accurately answered. They provided a robust songlist for us to look over to ensure they were going to be the right vibe. As for the day of, WOW! Ryan customized our first dance and it was an instant hit with the guests (they are still singing it a week later!), and the band learned both the first dance and parent dance for us. They kept the party rocking all night and brought the same energy whether there were a few people on the dance floor or it was packed. They even stayed on an extra hour (for a small fee) when it was clear that the guests had not finished dancing. We have received many compliments from our guests on how the band was much better than your regular wedding DJ, and how talented and friendly Ryan was. We highly recommend you reach out to them if you are looking to kick your event up to the next level!
