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.

DJ Graeme Ritchie was the perfect choice for our wedding entertainment. He was a true professional. He dressed appropriately, was on time and honored all our requests. Because our ceremony was at the same venue as our reception, he covered our music set for our ceremony as well and ensured everything went smoothly, even providing a microphone for our service. During the reception he doubled as our Master of Ceremonies keeping tabs on the timing of events as to when they should occur. Our guests were very pleased. We highly recommend DJ Graeme Ritchie for any of your events. You won't be disappointed!

Mercier Music Weddings and Events

  • 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!

Shane with Mercier Music Weddings and Events was the consummate professional for our wedding entertainment. His communication throughout the planning process was personal, prompt and respectful, making us feel like valued clients. The sound quality and song selection the day-of was excellent. Shane interacted with our guests and could read the room, knowing just when to transition the music from our first dance into the next activity. He kept the style of music going that appealed to all our guests, from young to old. Shane's ability to read the room and keep all age groups engaged really made for an interactive and fun reception. We were extremely pleased with Shane's services for our special day and highly recommend Mercier Music Weddings and Events.

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!

Bill went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding DJ! From the start he was so eager to know exactly what we wanted in our music choices and also how we wanted our wedding to go in general. He was a great communicator with us and the other vendors and SO accommodating during the planning process (even when I made last minute changes to the playlist, he was so on top of it!) The timing of our wedding actually ended up being ahead of schedule, which was absolutely because of his guidance in keeping the schedule moving at the clip it needed to be. This was great because it meant we got more time on the dance floor, which was absolutely my favorite part! Now I'm a bit of a music nerd, so I had very specific songs that I wanted played at specific moments and he delivered that perfectly! Our playlist was also pretty eclectic (indie, folk, pop, disco, classic rock, 80s new wave, EDM kind of eclectic!) and he was able to build an order to my songs that flowed perfectly and kept people dancing all night! If you are thinking about hiring Bill, DO IT!!! he was so kind and professional from beginning to end of working with him. Can't recommend him enough.

Alex was AMAZING! He was so organized and professional before and during the wedding. Our timing was a little off due to photos taking a little longer than expected and he adjusted our timeline without us asking. He even confirmed a later cake cutting with the caterer before telling us. The photo booth was also a huge hit. The music went with the vibe and even the lighting! Absolutely perfect. And definitely within our budget!

Awarded Best of Zola
Everything about Pocket Change was a perfect addition to our wedding. Choosing our band was a major priority for us, as we know from experience they can make or break the reception. Pocket Change was everything we wanted, and more. From our first meeting with them, we felt comfortable and heard. They did a fantastic job of listening to our preferences and adapting that to what they were best at to deliver a great performance. They also did a great job of suggesting additions to our "must plays" that really went with the vibe we were looking for. Also, as a side note, the bride is a teacher, and we loved that Pocket Change is a band of music teachers! In addition to being absolutely perfect as a wedding band, they were also extremely affordable! We worked with some amazing vendors all around, but Pocket Change is the first review we're writing, because we really wanted to thank them for what they did to make our day special. We had a miscommunication with our venue about who was in charge of ceremony audio, and Pocket Change was able to jump in last minute to provide audio for the ceremony. They also let one of the bride's best friends join them on stage to sing Dancing Queen, which was so special for the bride and groom. There was a small issue with the wireless microphone during speeches, and their technician was able to jump in and solve it immediately! They were great at going with the flow and making situations that could have been stressful not at all. In almost every conversation we have had with guests since our wedding, someone has brought up what a great band they were. Hire Pocket Change - you will not be disappointed!!!

Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

We had the pleasure of working with Golden Scroll Soloists this past December and they were absolutely amazing! Kevin is great at communicating and they went above and beyond by also playing our first dance! They have an extensive library and if that's not enough, you can also ask them to arrange songs. All of our guests loved them and we can't recommend them enough! Thank you Golden Scroll Soloists!

Book DJ Dayglow - you will not regret it!! Our wedding was over a year ago and our friends and family are still raving about what an incredible DJ we had!! Kara was the most amazing person to work with - she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, what kind of music we were excited about and what to avoid... and she absolutely NAILED IT. Our dance floor was completely packed from start to finish. As a queer couple, we really wanted to work with vendors who identify as and/or have a lot of experience with queer couples. Kara checked those boxes, making us feel SO affirmed and comfortable. She even helped me pull off an epic surprise - a drag queen performance during our reception as a wedding gift for my partner :) Can't recommend Kara enough - she's truly the best!

Clockwork Boston stole the evening and our guests could not stop telling us how good they were. They know how to have a party, and despite many folks leaving our Sunday evening wedding a little early, the vibes were incredible all the way to the final song. I never left the dance floor, and glad I didn't! One piece of advice, we wish we chose more swing/oldie/calmer dance music for the DJ break in between sets. Just a suggestion for any future couples to be!
