  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

There's nothing I love more than a great song, a dance floor, and a reason to celebrate. I've been involved with music for pretty much my entire life and the passion that I have for creating moments and memories through music is unmatched. I work personally with each of my couples to make their weddings amazing, and I'm fortunate that I get to do this each and every weekend.

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ/pianist for our wedding than Brendan! From the very beginning, he was incredibly fast and responsive, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Brendan took care of everything related to sound for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and the wedding reception, and it was the only wedding we've ever attended where there wasn't a single sound issue. His attention to detail and professionalism were truly impressive. Not only did Brendan manage the sound system flawlessly, but he also played the piano all night long, creating an unforgettable atmosphere with his incredible talent. Our guests were blown away by his performance, and we received countless compliments on how perfect the music was throughout the entire event. We are beyond grateful for Brendan's contribution to our special day and would love to work with him again in the future. If you're looking for a DJ who is responsive, reliable, and exceptionally talented, look no further than Brendan!

Mercier Music Weddings and Events 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves East Providence, 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 was absolutely AMAZING! He completely nailed it and made our wedding at OceanCliff the best party ever. From the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception, the music was perfect. He set the vibe for every moment, and when it came time to hit the dance floor—WOW! The lighting was on point, and the energy was through the roof. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had. Shane kept everyone dancing all night long, and he somehow played exactly what we wanted without us even having to ask. It was like he could read the room and just knew what would keep the party going. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s going to bring the fun, keep the dance floor packed, and make your wedding unforgettable, Shane is your guy. Thank you for helping us throw the party of our lives!

Dj Graeme Ritchie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves East Providence, 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
My husband and I had some strong opinions about the music that should be played at our wedding - for example, no classic wedding songs or oldies. We asked Graeme to cater to the younger crew at our wedding (70% of our wedding guests were 35 or younger) and he delivered. Once we opened the dance floor I never saw anyone sitting down again for the rest of the night. The tent rental company had told me that the dance floor I wanted to rent was much larger then needed for our weddings size but Graeme was able to keep it full and even over flowing all night long. He knows how to throw a party! In addition we had an outdoor ceremony and even though the wedding wasn't particularity large (98 guests) the space he needed to make music & sound work for was very large and far away from an electrical source. Graeme worked directly with my venue to ensure he had everything he needed to make the day go off without a hitch.

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!

Luke Renchan Entertainment, Inc. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves East Providence, 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.

I cannot thank Luke Renchan Entertainment enough for saving me just two weeks before my wedding when my original DJ fell through. From the start, Luke was calming, quick to respond, and an extremely good communicator, making us feel safe and taken care of. We had the pleasure of working with DJ Joe Henriques, and he was incredible! We had the best time with him! Our venue posed a bit of a challenge, with the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing outside and dinner inside an 1800s inn. DJ Joe handled everything perfectly, and he was an amazing master of ceremonies! Before the wedding, we had a call with DJ Joe to discuss our songs and ideas. He truly understood our vision and collaborated with us on the day, which put us at ease. His energy was amazing and infectious, setting the tone for a fun celebration. Our guests had so much fun the entire night, and DJ Joe's mixes were fantastic! Friends are still talking about how much fun dancing was! We felt SO taken care of, and I highly recommend Luke Renchan Entertainment and DJ Joe to anyone looking for an exceptional DJ experience!

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!

Working with GSS couldn't have been easier for our wedding day. From the initial conversation with Kevin to the execution on the big day, everything was perfect. Their song repertoire is enormous and it was very easy to work with them to add a couple songs not included. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. Cannot recommend them enough!

DJ Sidney was amazing to work with! He perfectly nailed the vibe of our wedding and kept people dancing all night. My partner and I have very different music tastes and were bringing together two different cultures so keeping everyone happy wasn't going to be easy. Everybody had fun dancing the night away and he helped keep the night running. I know that a great DJ can really make a party and DJ Sidney was a great DJ!
