Mercier Music Weddings and Events 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Block Island, 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!

Our June 2024 wedding at Quidnessett Country Club was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to Shane! From the very beginning, he was so easy to talk to and made planning such a breeze. He was confident, organized, and really listened to what we wanted, which made the whole process so much less stressful. Knowing we had him running the show on our big day let us just relax and enjoy every moment. The reception was an absolute blast! The dance floor was packed all night, and Shane kept the energy high with the perfect mix of music. Our guests had so much fun dancing, and we’re still hearing about how amazing the party was. On top of that, the Photo Booth was a huge hit! People couldn’t get enough of it, and we love having all the hilarious pictures as memories from the night. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, fun, and truly knows how to throw a party, Shane is your guy. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

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!

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!

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.

Pocket Change was the perfect pick for my in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary party, and I'd highly recommend them for any wedding or big event requiring a band! Dave, the primary contact, is incredible and did a great job emceeing the event, speaking gracefully, carefully keeping the time to keep things on track, and accommodating just the vibe we hoped for with the music. They also learned a very special song especially for my in-laws. Dave and band provide the perfect balance of professionalism and fun.

  • Serves Block Island, RI

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!

If we could give Golden Scroll Soloists 1,000 stars we would! Kevin was extremely organized and knowledgeable in preparing for the wedding. There are soooo many song choices to choose from! The music at the ceremony was so incredibly beautiful that our priest stopped to recognize them a number of times! I could’ve listened to them play for hours—absolutely amazing! We also had them at cocktail hour at our venue and it was such a fun vibe! So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night to tell us how wonderful the strings were—they loved it! We really can’t thank Kevin and his crew enough for making our wedding truly everything we dreamed of—absolute PERFECTION!
