Mercier Music Weddings and Events

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Newport, 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 a fantastic DJ for our wedding! His original mixes were incredible, and he skillfully blended music from every generation, which had all our guests on the dance floor all night. His professionalism shone through every aspect of his performance, from the second he got to the venue to the last moment of the final song. Shane is an expert at reading the crowd and maintains a high-energy and fun atmosphere until the very last second. Shane helped us plan before the ceremony, facilitated the night's schedule, and kept the party going! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our special day unforgettable! I can't recommend him enough!

Dj Graeme Ritchie 

5.0

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

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 Newport, 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.

12/10 would recommend Luke B Renchan for any DJ services you need in the future. He killed it for us on our wedding day! From the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to finishing with a killer reception. His attention to detail, calls prior the big day, and day of timeline really helped us feel comfortable with him being our DJ for our wedding. We had no issues day of. If anything we were the ones that went to take pictures during the sunset and my bride had a dress change. Luke pivoted easily in helping keep the dance floor going and re-introduced the bride and groom to the reception when we were back. He let us pick the remaining 5 songs of the reception before our encore songs. I had so many people come up to me after the wedding complimenting our DJ. Luke was absolutely amazing! 12/10 would recommend him to anyone in need for their wedding or other DJ needs. Thanks again Luke! You killed it for us!

  • Serves Newport, 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.

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!

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!!!

If you want one of those weddings where everyone in attendance gets down on the dance floor, look no further. DJ Kara knows how to get the intergenerational dance party started. Such a delight to work with and so so talented! Make sure you kiss the disco ball for good luck. I hope my marriage lasts forever...but if it doesn't, I'm going with DJ Kara for my next wedding, too!

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!

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!

Sidney was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From our first conversation, he was easy to talk to, honest about what he could provide, and very thorough in making sure he understood the vibe we were going for. The day-of, Sidney absolutely crushed it - his song selection was spot on for keeping guests of all ages entertained, and he did an excellent job reading the crowd to keep the dance floor moving. His equipment elevated the whole reception. For the quality of work and professionalism Sidney brings, his services are an incredible value.

Xtreme Soundz was the DJ for our August wedding and there are only good things to say about them as a team! Don’t get me wrong… when we initially booked with Xtreme Soundz and found out that Luis was not available to do our wedding, we were a little hesitant to book with Andrew since he was new to the Xtreme Soundz team, but on our wedding day, Andrew did not disappoint! Both, Luis and Andrew, were a part of the planning process from the beginning and made sure that everything was going to run smoothly the day of.  During the planning process they used the app Vibo, which was an extremely convenient way for us to add songs to our wedding playlist and input other useful information so that they could create a timeline. On our wedding day, Andrew was professional, enthusiastic, and personable. He played most of the songs on our playlist as well as requests that were made by our guests to keep the party going all night. Andrew took every step to ensure that our wedding night was everything that we could’ve dreamed of and that not a minute was wasted. If you’re looking for a great DJ – you’ve come to the right place!

Planning a wedding can be difficult, stressful, and can cost quite a bit. My job is to simply make this process as easy as it can be for you so that your special day is a memorable one. Leave all the worrying and coordination to me as I conduct your day the way that you want it to be carried out. Not only do I JUST play music, but I also consider myself to act as a LIAISON so that your wedding runs as smoothly as possible for you and your guests. As my father always said, "It's not just about the music. It's about creating life long memories."

DJ Jalen Young was a fantastic addition to our wedding day! From the very first email, Jalen was extremely responsive, professional, and personable. He really listened to our preferences for the music and vibe we wanted, and delivered exactly that. The uplighting he provided made the room feel so much more magical and elevated the overall ambiance. Jalen wasn't just playing songs from a playlist, he was actively mixing the music all night long which kept the dance floor packed the entire time. The music flowed seamlessly from our ceremony, to cocktail hour, and through the reception, including our private last dance - it was just perfect. We're so grateful to Jalen for helping make our wedding celebration everything we dreamed of!
