Dj Graeme Ritchie

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

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!

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!

My daughter recently got married in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 14th, 2024. She choose to have her reception in a tent on the lawn of the Eisenhower House. The venue was stunning and the woman at EH recommended Clockwork as we were looking for a local band with horns to play at the reception. We were not able to hear them in person, but all the video's posted online more than helped our decision making process and we quickly booked the band 20 months in advance, It was our second decision in the wedding process after the venue -with many, many more to come, but without a doubt - IT WAS THE BEST DECISION!!!! Booking was easy - we sent a check to reserve the date. the catalog of music they are capable of playing is extensive. But we had a tremendous comfort level with Clockwork New England as the contract states YOU GET THE EXACT MUSICIANS you see on all the website videos. There are no switches, or long lists of band members they slot in on any given day. Everyone we saw and loved are the people that showed up for our event. From start to finish - the band rocked the night away - the dance floor was never empty. They sang the bride and grooms song 'You are the Best Thing" and it was spectacular. And every song after that just got us up off our feet. The horns added so much - we keep hearing from friends asking us who they were, because they LOVED the music. The interactions with the crowd also made the night so memorable - and some of the best videos of the night. The band worked well together - and we just cannot say enough about how much they added to the party. Patrick joined a zoom call we had w our planner a week or so earlier than the event - and went over every detail - completely putting our minds at ease. 5 stars are NOT ENOUGH!! They truly made our event the best it could have possibly been! I want to do it again!

DJ Tay worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding to coordinate instrumental piano covers for our ceremony which turned out beautifully. 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. He also brought some great colorful lighting and uplights for the space which really added to the vibe. Overall Taylor did a good job DJ-ing our wedding reception! (Some fun hora photos to share)

Combine that with fun additions like Mirror Photo Booth, Uplighting and Marquee Letters and you are guaranteed to have an unforgettable event!

There is only one word that comes to mind when I think of Dawson entertainment- PERFECTION! Jason and his staff go above and beyond to make sure the process from start to finish is seamless! I have worked in the entertainment industry for over 25 years and I have see hundreds of DJs and no one comes close to Dawson Entertainment! We got the big “LOVE” marque letters that added such a beautiful touch to the room. Our first dance pictures are INSANELY GORGEOUS with those letters in the background! We also did the mirror photo booth- THIS IS A MUST!!! I’ve found some photo booths to be poor quality and cheesy- this is everything BUT those things! The mirror is elegant and classy, the backdrop (of your choice) was gorgeous, and his assistant was so professional and helpful!! Now- for the music portion- let’s just say the ENTIRE ROOM was on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG! I had so many future brides and grooms coming up to me asking for his information because they wanted Dawson entertainment to play at their up-coming wedding! Jason makes sure to have several discussions prior to the wedding to get to know his bride and groom to ensure he plays EXACTLY what you want! You tell him a “DO NOT PLAY” list and he will ensure they ARE NOT PLAYED- even if a guest requests it!! My biggest pet peeve is going to a wedding and having a bride or groom turn to me and say “UGH I Told them not to play this” or “oh I wish they played this”- you will not have that problem with Jason-because he creates a lineup of your choice prior! Also, if you are feeling another song that you didn’t think of when making your list- just tell him in the moment and he will also play it! Either way- YOU ARE IN THE BEST HANDS WITH JD!! :) Dawson entertainment without a doubt was THE BEST decision in our wedding planning process! You would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t choose him as your DJ!! Thanks again to Dawson entertainment for making our wedding day THE FUNNEST day of our lives!!
