About Prairie and Peak Events
Prairie and Peak Events
Ryan, a Montana native, founded Prairie & Peak with the vision of fusing local knowledge and his love for the state with his extensive experience in wedding industry. After more than 17 years and 700+ weddings as both a Wedding Planner and Wedding DJ, Ryan has had the unique opportunity to gain experience and wedding knowledge that is not often found in the industry. His approach to event production blends creativity with logistical expertise. Specializing in transforming weddings into immersive, multi-day experiences that reflect each couple’s unique story, ensuring their celebration is not just an event but an unforgettable experience.
What sets Ryan and Prairie & Peak apart is unmatched experience in the wedding industry. Starting as a Wedding DJ, I averaged over 45 weddings per year across Montana, learning firsthand what works and doesn't work at a wedding. Often misunderstood, a great DJ does more than play music at a wedding—they truly run the night! By reading the energy of the guests and seamlessly adjusting the flow, they are able to maintain a smooth and memorable event. Combined with Ryan’s passion for the outdoors, love of Montana, and deep local knowledge, you’ll receive a service that’s uniquely tailored to create an unforgettable wedding experience.
In three words: Creative, Organized, Resourceful

Ryan was The One.
Ryan was the one. There was never a question about choosing him be our Destination Wedding Planner. I said yes to my husband, and we BOTH said yes to Ryan Cech and his incredible management team at Prairie and Peak Events. He started out as our DJ ; he has 15 years of experience! I loved his energy, transparency and most importantly - his response time! Communication is everything to the busy bride or groom. I started many an email thread to Ryan and then fell off because LIFE and when I picked back up, Ryan responded RIGHT away. And should he be out of office, he is very transparent around timing and closes loops both before and after. (Wedding vendor radio silence can be VERY anxiety inducing!) From the get go, he doled out sage words of wisdom that can only come with his experience and time in the industry. He knew EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING. Truly. So asking him to take on full management of our wedding was as easy as saying I Do. And from that moment on - I could breathe. I trusted Ryan completely. His candor, conversation and industry wisdom are unparalleled. He wasn’t just our coordinator, planner and DJ, he was our advisor. No one knows Montana like him - he’s a native after all! This wedding would have been nowhere near as unique and special as it was, without Ryan and his level of detail and care. And, this man knows how to handle a bride with grace and charm! Ryan listened to my EVERY thought, idea and feeling. He worked everything in! He also knew howwhen to push back on me, which I am so grateful for. Here are some highlights from working with wedding artiste Ryan: His brilliant tablescape designs - including tree “cookies” cut from a tree in his own yard! His wooden guest book idea, the path he recommended for the wedding party procession, his seating chart and table layout mastery, all the day of paper items he designed himself and professionally printed, his coordination of our florals: we were able to use our wedding flowers for the rehearsal dinner, as well! He brought a guitar from his home and included it in his AV set up, so my brother could live perform a song he had written. He lent my family all the baby things! Pack and play, and whatever else babies need!? (dog parents here) When we flew in to visit the venue, he chauffeured us around town like we were his own family. For these reasons and SO many more, Ryan planned and executed the MOST amazingly perfect wedding weekend Big Sky, Montana has ever seen. BONUS: Ryan often pulls in his wife and sister to work weddings - so it’s a real, well-oiled family affair! DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BOOK PRAIRIE AND PEAK TO PLAN YOUR WEDDING. Because once you do, the next step is just showing up for your big day. WE LOVE YOU RYAN !!!!
