Jordan Kahn turned his wedding into a living playlist. On October 6, 2025, the musician and co-owner of Jordan Kahn Music Company wed Stephanie Ritter at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, vowing to take everyone on a musical journey through their relationship.
Vows as a Set List
Rather than reciting conventional promises, Kahn wove lyrics from 18 songs into one continuous story. He opened with “We were both young when I first saw you…” and closed with “This I promise you.” The sequence tracked the couple’s timeline from first meeting to lifelong commitment.
“I wanted to take our guests on a musical journey through our relationship, from our vows, all the way through to the afterparty,” Kahn told News Of Los Angeles.
Dance Floor From Door to Dawn
Aimee Monihan of Destination Occasions planned the event. Kahn and Ritter entered the reception to a packed dance floor, led by the Jordan Kahn Music Company’s 20-piece orchestra featuring Georgia Bridgwater and Taylor Pace. Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” marked the moment because, as Kahn explained, the track’s energy “signify the beginning of our relationship in NYC.”
The couple’s first dance doubled as an extension of their vows, set to NSYNC’s “This I Promise You.” They played the full track and invited guests to join halfway through, keeping the floor full.
Brass Band and Limbo Lines
A 12-horn brass band escorted guests from the ceremony to cocktail hour, then sparked a limbo contest under raised trombones and trumpets. The musicians later reappeared for a New Orleans-style second line that shuttled everyone from the ballroom to a lobby-bar after-party.
Menu of Memories
Catering echoed family history. A dim-sum station greeted arrivals, followed by matzo ball soup blended from both grandmothers’ recipes. Kahn surprised Ritter with her favorite Aspen chocolate-chip cookies for dessert. Plates arrived in timed dance breaks so guests could eat without leaving the floor for long.
Aspen-Inspired Design
Gro Designs crafted décor that mirrored the Colorado setting. The chuppah resembled an Aspen orchard canopy, and guests walked through a hallway of trees to reach the reception. Centerpieces soared 20 feet, showing autumn colors amid live aspens on each table.
Surprise Serenade and Puppy Finale
Mid-reception Kahn sang Michael Bublé’s “I Only Have Eyes for You” to Ritter, backed by the full orchestra that slid into an upbeat dance version. The night ended with celebrity DJ Greg Garman spinning in the lobby while Kahn presented Ritter with a new family puppy as “Who Let the Dogs Out” played.
Years in the Making
Kahn has provided music for former presidents, First Families, Dancing With the Stars cast members, The Bachelor and Real Housewives stars, plus Mark Cuban, Sean Payton, Draymond Green, Jerry Jones, Kathy Hilton and Derek Hough. After witnessing so many love stories, he said centering his own on music “made it a dream come to life.”
“Everything about our day was intentional, especially the music,” Kahn said. “We felt like our story got to come to life for our loved ones in the most incredible ways, and we’re still reliving every lyric with so much joy.”
