Mercier Music Weddings and Events 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Cranston, 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!

We had so many incredible people and vendors involved with putting on our big shindig/wedding. So the bar is really high when evaluating any one of them individually, but Bill truly was one of our favorites from the beginning. His professionalism, flexibility, and commitment to making our day as fun as possible despite our crowd skewing very old and not very dance-prone on average, as well as FAR too many people bailing RIGHT after dinner (What is that, New England?? The party went until 10 pm. Not that much to ask to stay until the end, and your ONE job as a wedding guest is to make the day as wonderful and fun as possible to the people who have graciously included you.). In any case, he did his best with the small crowd who really showed up for us that day (and didn't dine and dash) and helped us forget about the negative aspects of the day by making it a really fun and rowdy dance party with those who did stay. Thank you, Bill! You are truly a lovely human.

Dj Graeme Ritchie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Cranston, 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.

We hired Graeme as our wedding DJ for our big day, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! In all seriousness, the best vibe curator we could have asked for. He was extremely easy to work with, is very experienced, organized, personable and makes everyone feel special. Most importantly, Graeme is fun! He realizes the importance of weddings, despite how many he's done - and he took extra care in making ours special, memorable and personalized. There is no doubt he knows what he's doing, and he makes sure everyone is happy and having a great time. Not only does he take care of absolutely everything - he goes FAR above and beyond. We had my now sister-in-law and her husband sing our first dance song (they traveled from out of town) and Graeme was able to arrange a guitar to make it extra special and perfect - convenience for everyone! I also didn't know what my first dance song would be with my dad, because my dad was adamant about surprising me and ended up creating a "mash-up" of special songs from my childhood, and was only able to do this because of Graeme and his willingness to go above and beyond (and the "mash-up" was under 2 minutes, which I am SURE Graeme also helped direct ;) ) - Our wedding day simply would not have been the same without him. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding, look NO further. From before the ceremony to "shutting the place down" he managed it flawlessly every step of the way and we are so thankful for him. Weeks later we're still getting comments on how great our DJ was - I would recommend him over and over again if I could. Thank you Graeme!!

DJ Alex Brown Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Cranston, RI

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.

Alex DJ'd our wedding on 09/10 at Bonnet Shores. He handled the sound system on the beach for the ceremony and the reception. Alex was spot-on day-of, getting all the sound right, music selection, lights, etc. He also had experience working with many of the other vendors we hired, and so he worked directly with them to coordinate. Biggest thing though was his flexibility with adding and adjusting the contract in the lead-up, and providing recommendations for music, lighting, and set-up. Alex is truly passionate about his profession, and I'd highly recommend working with him for any occasion where you need an experienced DJ.

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!

If we could give Golden Scroll Soloists 1,000 stars we would! Kevin was extremely organized and knowledgeable in preparing for the wedding. There are soooo many song choices to choose from! The music at the ceremony was so incredibly beautiful that our priest stopped to recognize them a number of times! I could’ve listened to them play for hours—absolutely amazing! We also had them at cocktail hour at our venue and it was such a fun vibe! So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night to tell us how wonderful the strings were—they loved it! We really can’t thank Kevin and his crew enough for making our wedding truly everything we dreamed of—absolute PERFECTION!

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!

My daughter recently got married in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 14th, 2024. She choose to have her reception in a tent on the lawn of the Eisenhower House. The venue was stunning and the woman at EH recommended Clockwork as we were looking for a local band with horns to play at the reception. We were not able to hear them in person, but all the video's posted online more than helped our decision making process and we quickly booked the band 20 months in advance, It was our second decision in the wedding process after the venue -with many, many more to come, but without a doubt - IT WAS THE BEST DECISION!!!! Booking was easy - we sent a check to reserve the date. the catalog of music they are capable of playing is extensive. But we had a tremendous comfort level with Clockwork New England as the contract states YOU GET THE EXACT MUSICIANS you see on all the website videos. There are no switches, or long lists of band members they slot in on any given day. Everyone we saw and loved are the people that showed up for our event. From start to finish - the band rocked the night away - the dance floor was never empty. They sang the bride and grooms song 'You are the Best Thing" and it was spectacular. And every song after that just got us up off our feet. The horns added so much - we keep hearing from friends asking us who they were, because they LOVED the music. The interactions with the crowd also made the night so memorable - and some of the best videos of the night. The band worked well together - and we just cannot say enough about how much they added to the party. Patrick joined a zoom call we had w our planner a week or so earlier than the event - and went over every detail - completely putting our minds at ease. 5 stars are NOT ENOUGH!! They truly made our event the best it could have possibly been! I want to do it again!

I've found an overwhelming passion in DJing and event coordinating, so much so that I've worked tirelessly to do it full-time since 2021. I believe that the DJ is the cornerstone of wedding vendors and I do everything in my power to make sure that I can make the vision of your wedding into a reality.

Worked with Style Points DJs at Seven Ponds Farm. The Dj was really friendly towards me and communicated with us on the things that we needed. We worked towards a common goal which is to make the client happy. It wasn’t a competition but instead a team work. It was the first time working with him but the energy was like we have worked together for ages. As a videographer that needed to use his connector for better sound quality, working with him was a breeze. We weren’t afraid to approach him for anything because he was so friendly and all smile. Style Point Djs rock and can’t wait to work with them again.

DJ Tay worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding to coordinate instrumental piano covers for our ceremony which turned out beautifully. We also gave him a spreadsheet with songs we definitely wanted to play, others that were maybes and a few not to. He worked off this list but there were still a lot of songs I’d hoped to play that we didn’t hear, and also a handful I hadn’t asked for - but it is what it is. He also brought some great colorful lighting and uplights for the space which really added to the vibe. Overall Taylor did a good job DJ-ing our wedding reception! (Some fun hora photos to share)

I've never worked with a DJ as good as Drew and his crew. Drew had sent me an email a few weeks before the couples wedding with the reception timeline (a first) and kept me up-to-date with any last minute changes the day of. It is clear by working with Drew how much he loves his job and how much he cares about the couples he works with. He got the crowd going, the dance floor was always packed and he invited the couple up to DJ booth which was so fun for them and also amazing for pictures.
