Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

Brendan was incredible to work with from wedding planning to wedding day! He was always there to answer all my questions and let me have the full ability to curate all the music just the way I wanted with adding his own flair and suggestions.

Spenser made this whole day so easy! I was on the fence about having a DJ for our very casual lunchtime wedding reception but once I started working with Spike events I knew we’d made the right decision. He perfectly captured the feel of what we were going for, from the cocktail hour, to the meal, to the actual dance floor. Everybody was dancing but anybody who wasn’t was still enjoying the music! Everything was perfect! Highly recommend

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.

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!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Oakland, 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.

DJ Karl Detken and the rest of the Luke Renchan Entertainment team were great to work with for our wedding! From the original consultation to the day of, their communication was spot on. Luke met with us originally to go over the various packages and addons. We knew from the beginning we wanted to have a karaoke segment towards the end of the night, and he was happy to make that happen. We also decided on some ambient uplighting and the audio guestbook option, which allowed our guests (including those that couldn’t attend the wedding in person) to record messages to be pressed onto a vinyl album. Luke recommended a couple of his DJ’s with availability and we decided on DJ “Kalifornia” Karl. Karl communicated with our officiants, photographer, and musician friends that were performing to make sure everyone had the audio setups they needed. We also had a cocktail hour in a separate building that he brought a second audio setup for so there was a seamless transition between the two buildings without any time spent moving audio equipment back and forth, which we really appreciated. He was also on top of any special requests for the dance and the karaoke portions of the night. Overall we were extremely satisfied with the service we received and would highly recommend LRE for a wedding or other large event!

My style is about my bride and groom having a good time and creating an atmosphere for their guests to have fun by playing and mixing great music. As a an experienced DJ I know how to read the crowd and play the right music at the right time to keep the dance floor moving. I will keep the DJ “chatter” to a minimum to be sure not to steal the spotlight. I take a completely modern approach, using my extensive knowledge of music formats and appropriate Emcee skills to move a dance floor.

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. We had so many guests compliment the music and entertainment. Sidney was integral to making sure our wedding celebration was fun for all, and we'd enthusiastically recommend him to any engaged couple looking for a talented DJ who will listen to what you want!

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.

We had a phenomenal experience with Luis as our wedding DJ! Planning a wedding out of state (and in a different time zone) was quite a challenge and when starting the initial search for DJ's, Luis was the only one out of everybody we reached out to that didn't require us to get on a phone call to go over pricing, so that was an automatic green flag off the bat. From the moment we booked Luis, communication was present. I feel like a lot of people I've talked with book their DJ, have one meeting, and see them at the wedding, but that was not our experience with Luis. We had a few meetings, several text chains, and certainly felt the line was always open if we needed something. One of my favorite things was Luis' hype texts the week of as if he was one of our people actually attending the wedding. Luis did everything we wanted at the ceremony and reception in regard to announcements and mic ups. We left Luis in charge of the music selection for the reception and from our personal experience and a few friend's comments, he did a great job with his selection! Luis was great before the wedding, during the wedding, and even after the wedding, and I cannot recommend him enough!

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.

Joe and his team were incredible! All of our guests are STILL talking about how great Joe was - he picked perfect songs that were a hit with our crowd across generations and included some of our all time favorites as well. We gave him a few do not plays and just a couple must plays, but he handled the rest perfectly!! Fine Tune Entertainment has an easy to use planning website, where we were able to edit our timeline and song choices throughout the process - this helped keep everything super organized. Joe was excellent at keeping the schedule moving with speeches, photos and dancing. We also used Fine Tune Entertainment's sister company for the photo booth which was incredibly high quality and a major HIT with our guests. They had the option to get digital copies or take home a printed one! We added 10 up lights to our space as well and Joe perfectly managed color changes to enhance the party vibe. We highly recommend Joe & Fine Tune Entertainment to couples in the Boston/MA area because of the incredible music played, the calm demeanor and excellent communication throughout the process! Definitely add the photo booth if you can, it was so worth it :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We could rave about DJ Thrilla all day long, but in the words of our wedding guests: “Best dance floor we’ve seen in a long time!” It’s been weeks since our wedding and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music was. Arthur did a great job with the ceremony and cocktail hour, and managed a tricky parent dance section (multiple sets of parents & timing!) We requested a Taylor Swift mashup and he exceeded expectations and made it the highlight of our night. The dance floor was always packed, and Arthur did a great job of taking into account our requests while playing music everyone would enjoy. We opted to use uplighting as well, which looked beautiful during dinner (we chose a warm lighting) and was so fun for the dance floor with flashing lights. By the end of the night, he even had guests asking him to travel to Texas to DJ their wedding! Booking DJ Thrilla was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend him more!

I am beyond impressed with Atlantic shake. They are actually the best band ever. I can not find enough words to say about how incredible this band is. Sean had the best energy and could not have done a better job getting the hype and excitement up with every single one of our guests. Rebecca spent so much time finding out exactly what my vision was. Nick made some of the best custom edits to songs that we wanted for our dances. Sean had some of the best energy I’ve ever seen at a wedding. The band learned 3 songs custom to what were meaningful to us. 10/10 I highly recommend them!!!!!

We cannot recommend Jeff, aka DJ Shyne, enough for any event, especially for a wedding! From the initial consultation to the last dance, Jeff was an absolute superstar. His professionalism, attention to detail, and incredible talent kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Jeff took the time to understand our musical preferences and seamlessly incorporated our favorite songs into the playlist. He effortlessly gauged the crowd's vibe, ensuring everyone, from the youngest to the oldest guest, was up and dancing. His ability to read the room and switch between genres was remarkable, creating an atmosphere that catered to everyone's tastes. Beyond his DJ skills, Jeff's charisma and infectious enthusiasm contributed immensely to the overall joy of our celebration. He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, coordinating with other vendors and even assisting with last-minute adjustments without hesitation. Not only did Jeff provide exceptional entertainment, but he also acted as an invaluable emcee, guiding the evening's events with grace and charm. His announcements were clear and engaging, keeping the flow of the evening seamless. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Jeff's incredible talent, positive energy, and dedication to making our day unforgettable. If you're searching for a DJ who not only delivers exceptional music but also elevates the entire experience, Jeff is the one you need. Thank you, Jeff, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!
