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. The planning app that we collectively used was so helpful to convey information to him. From adding songs to specific moments in the day to ensuring he knew all of the reminders to give to the guests. He is so professional, friendly, organized, and helpful! I highly suggest hiring him for all of your DJ needs!!!

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.

Graeme is a fantastic DJ. We had so much fun dancing at our wedding thanks to Graeme. We had specific non traditional requests that he executed perfectly. He also went through all the music we sent him and carefully picked what would work best for our demographic and vibe throughout the day. The sound quality was great, even during our ceremony on the beach during a very windy day! I highly recommend Graeme for any of your DJ needs.

Mercier Music Weddings and Events

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Carolina, 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 absolutely AMAZING! He completely nailed it and made our wedding at OceanCliff the best party ever. From the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception, the music was perfect. He set the vibe for every moment, and when it came time to hit the dance floor—WOW! The lighting was on point, and the energy was through the roof. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had. Shane kept everyone dancing all night long, and he somehow played exactly what we wanted without us even having to ask. It was like he could read the room and just knew what would keep the party going. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s going to bring the fun, keep the dance floor packed, and make your wedding unforgettable, Shane is your guy. Thank you for helping us throw the party of our lives!

For my (now) wife and I, finding the right person to set the mood for our ceremony and reception was one of the biggest priorities while wedding planning. Bill had been the DJ at my cousin's wedding, and seeing how well he kept the party going in person really helped sell us on reaching out to him. He is one of the sweetest people, and communicates every detail with the couple every step of the way. The audio at our ceremony was fantastic, and the set up and uplighting for the reception was perfect. Could not recommend him more, and have already given his information to a bridesmaid!

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.

We had a fantastic experience working with Luke Renchan Entertainment for our wedding. They are incredibly professional and experienced - they made the planning process very smooth. Matt Rapoza was our DJ and he was an absolute pleasure! He kept the evening moving, was organized, friendly, upbeat, and had guests on the dance floor the entire time. He followed our music selections and also put his own spin on it, had amazing transitions, and overall was everything we could have asked for in a DJ. Our guests were raving about him. 10/10 would recommend Matt as well as the entire company.

Alex was AMAZING! He was so organized and professional before and during the wedding.

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. And definitely within our budget!

As formally trained musicians, we are able to perform in a variety of genres and can easily improvise and adapt for your event.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!!

Golden Scroll Soloists 

5.0

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Carolina, 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!

The Golden Scroll Soloists delivered an absolutely exceptional performance that elevated our wedding ceremony to heights we never imagined possible. From our first interaction with Kevin, the director, until the final note played at our ceremony, their professionalism and artistic excellence shone through every aspect of their service. Kevin's communication was outstanding throughout the planning process. He was responsive, detailed, and genuinely invested in ensuring the music would perfectly match our vision for the day. This proved invaluable, especially given some unexpected challenges we faced during the ceremony. What truly sets this quartet apart is their ability to adapt and perform flawlessly even under difficult circumstances. Despite receiving no support or direction from our wedding planner (who was unexpectedly absent during the ceremony), the quartet showed remarkable poise and professionalism. When sudden rain threatened to disrupt the proceedings, they seamlessly adjusted without missing a beat. Even when timeline issues arose - again due to the missing planner - they demonstrated incredible flexibility and kept the musical program flowing beautifully. The musical performance itself was nothing short of magical. Their renditions of our chosen songs were deeply moving, perfectly capturing the emotion of each moment. The way they performed our most cherished pieces brought tears to many eyes, including our own. Their technical skill was evident in every note, but it was their ability to infuse each piece with genuine feeling that made their performance truly outstanding. We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for their presence on our special day. For any couple considering live music for their ceremony, we cannot recommend the Golden Scroll Soloists highly enough.

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.

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!
