Mercier Music Weddings and Events

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Bristol, RI

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

Our June 2024 wedding at Quidnessett Country Club was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to Shane! From the very beginning, he was so easy to talk to and made planning such a breeze. He was confident, organized, and really listened to what we wanted, which made the whole process so much less stressful. Knowing we had him running the show on our big day let us just relax and enjoy every moment. The reception was an absolute blast! The dance floor was packed all night, and Shane kept the energy high with the perfect mix of music. Our guests had so much fun dancing, and we’re still hearing about how amazing the party was. On top of that, the Photo Booth was a huge hit! People couldn’t get enough of it, and we love having all the hilarious pictures as memories from the night. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, fun, and truly knows how to throw a party, Shane is your guy. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Dj Graeme Ritchie

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Bristol, RI

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are still getting compliments about the music at our wedding. DJ Graeme did a fabulous job at getting people dancing early and keeping them on the dance floor all night long. We've had so many people tell us "I wanted to get a drink but I couldn't leave the dance floor because good songs kept coming on!" He listened to what we wanted (and didn't want!), honored that, and was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Luke Renchan Entertainment, Inc. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Bristol, RI

Luke’s originally started as a Record Store by the name Luke’s Record Exchange, started by Luke T Renchan. As years progressed, Luke T decided to start a Disc Jockey Company in 1983. This was an instant success. Before long, Luke T had eight employees doing events for him. Many years passed and his son Luke B showed an interest in what his father was doing. At the age of 9, Luke B would accompany his father and observing every move he made. Gradually he was allowed to make steps till he was able to do his own events.

DJ Karl Detken and the rest of the Luke Renchan Entertainment team were great to work with for our wedding! From the original consultation to the day of, their communication was spot on. Luke met with us originally to go over the various packages and addons. We knew from the beginning we wanted to have a karaoke segment towards the end of the night, and he was happy to make that happen. We also decided on some ambient uplighting and the audio guestbook option, which allowed our guests (including those that couldn’t attend the wedding in person) to record messages to be pressed onto a vinyl album. Luke recommended a couple of his DJ’s with availability and we decided on DJ “Kalifornia” Karl. Karl communicated with our officiants, photographer, and musician friends that were performing to make sure everyone had the audio setups they needed. We also had a cocktail hour in a separate building that he brought a second audio setup for so there was a seamless transition between the two buildings without any time spent moving audio equipment back and forth, which we really appreciated. He was also on top of any special requests for the dance and the karaoke portions of the night. Overall we were extremely satisfied with the service we received and would highly recommend LRE for a wedding or other large event!

DJ Alex Brown has over a decade of experience providing dance floor filling DJ and MC services for weddings and events. He offers a full range of standard services for weddings such as uplighting, custom monogram, ceremony and cocktail music, and more.

Hiring Alex to be the DJ for our wedding was the easiest and best decision we made. My husband and I wanted to ensure everyone at all ages had fun while keeping the party going. Everyone at our wedding had an absolute blast and Alex is to thank for that. Alex is so incredibly easy to work with and made the planning process a breeze. He was always available and quickly responsive to texts, phone calls, and even face-times! He spent so much time going over every little detail of our wedding day to make it perfect - even with some picky requests that I had made! Alex even came to our rehearsal to make sure everything was going to run smoothly the day of. During our reception we fell a little behind on our timing for scheduled events (toasts, first dances, cake cutting, etc.) and Alex calmly informed me of what was going on and the best way to catch up on time. He was so flexible and very knowledgeable on how to make things work! We included his photo booth in our package and it was a total hit! Everyone loved it and some of our favorite photos from the night took place here. He and his assistant are professionals! I hands down recommend DJ Alex Brown to anyone for any event, not just weddings. We had the time of our lives and will hire Alex in a heartbeat for any events in our future. Thanks for helping make this night one of the best and most memorable! We love you!

Golden Scroll Soloists

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Bristol, RI

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

Golden Scrolls Soloists were wonderful in making our ceremony and Cocktail extra magical with their string quartet. The selection of music we had to pick from was beyond substantial and our guests loved all the songs we picked. I would highly recommend them for anyone who may be interested in having strings for their wedding or other event.

The online planning forms made it easy to plan out our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We had several specific requests that DJ Rick was able to accommodate. We wanted classic rock for the majority of our cocktail hour and created a list of artists for Rick to work from which he played the perfect set. The music was a true reflection of us which is exactly what we wanted. We had a great time dancing the night away with our family and friends. The uplighting was beautiful and helped enhance our venue. The photo booth was worth every penny, our guests could not get enough of it! We would highly recommend Arpeggio if music is important to you! The entertainment can make or break your wedding and Arpeggio knocked it out of the park and we still have guests talking about how much fun they had at our wedding!

I love music and I love playing the music everyone else loves. Playing weddings is my favorite type of event because of the diversity of people and couples I welcome to the dance floor through my thoughtful and inclusive play list. I hope you consult with me to learn how I can make this possible.

Alto Music & Entertainment was exceptional in every way for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was clear, professional, and timely. Josh, the DJ, was warm and kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - Josh is an incredibly talented musician and public speaker who made our ceremony so special by playing live violin as I walked down the aisle and keeping our guests entertained during the reception party. His performance was nothing short of amazing, and I would choose him over and over again. If you're looking for wedding entertainment that is both professional and incredibly talented, I can't recommend Alto Music & Entertainment enough!
