Mercier Music Weddings and Events

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

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!

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.

B-Sharp Entertainment was absolutely amazing!! Brendan was very helpful with every step of our music planning. He was easily accessable anytime my Husband and I had questions or wanted to add anything for our reception entertainment, and this was very important to us to be able to reach him and discuss details anytime. Brendan makes it very easy to select the perfect music and has an organized method to know what type of music to add to each portion of the night. Picking our music was really fun to do, thanks to the planning method Brendan uses. We felt very confident and very in control of our planning choices. All of our questions were answered along the way, and he kept in touch, including consultation meeting, and design layout choices for our photo booth. Brendan was very helpful during our reception as well by checking in with us to see where we were at with each step of the night, and any changes we needed to make, he made everything flow nicely, and read the room extremely well. We would highly recommend B-Sharp Entertainment for any Wedding or event, he was an all around great and professional DJ to work with, he really listened to our needs and our night was absolutely perfect with many thanks to him!

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.

Luke Renchan Entertainment, Inc. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves North 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!

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.
