Meet Your Maine DJ

Hey there, I’m Chris!

Let’s keep this “about me” super short. I’m 39 years old! I am married, a dad and father to the most loving and sweet autistic child, a survivor and advocate for mental health, a metalhead since I was 13. I love ALL music – it’s been a massive part of my life. I want to share that love with you. Spinning the best of the best from all decades and genres is my bread and butter.

Highly organized, timely, and dedicated to my clients. Taking what I love most about great customer service and incorporating that into Bouchard Entertainment. As an event host, I engage guests and ensure the celebrations run smoothly, creating a unique and enjoyable experience.

It all starts with you and us keeping the dance floor packed.

Choosing The Right Wedding DJ

When it comes to selecting a wedding DJ in Maine, there are several factors to consider to ensure that you find the right one for your special day. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the perfect DJ to create an unforgettable entertainment experience for you and your guests.

What to Look for in a Wedding DJ

When searching for a wedding DJ in Maine, look for someone who is experienced, professional, and has a proven track record of delivering exceptional service. Here are some key qualities to look for:

  • Experience: Look for a DJ with extensive experience performing at weddings and other events. This will ensure that they are familiar with the flow of a wedding and can adapt to any situation. An experienced DJ knows how to handle unexpected moments and keep the celebration on track.

  • Professionalism: A professional DJ will be punctual, courteous, and respectful of your time and preferences. They will also be well-organized and have a clear plan in place for your wedding. Professionalism ensures that everything runs smoothly, allowing you to relax and enjoy your big day.

  • Customization: A good wedding DJ will work with you to create a customized playlist that reflects your personal style and preferences. They will also be able to accommodate any special requests you may have. Customization is key to making your wedding unique and memorable.

  • Equipment: Make sure the DJ has high-quality equipment that is reliable and suitable for your wedding venue. High-quality sound and lighting equipment can make a significant difference in the overall experience for you and your guests.

  • Reviews: Check online reviews and ask for referrals from friends or family members who have used the DJ’s services before. Positive reviews and testimonials can give you confidence in your choice and provide insight into the DJ’s performance and reliability.

Memorable Maine DJ Services

What sets Chris apart from other Maine Wedding DJs is the culmination of behind-the-scenes involvement, a level of skill in the artistry of being a DJ, and an attention to detail that can create a significant moment from the tiniest of observations. His commitment to detail and execution ensures that every event is unique, creating unforgettable moments for all attendees.

Mixing and Blending Music

One of the most essential parts of keeping dance floors packed is playing the right song at the right time. The transition between each song is just as important as it creates excitement and jaw-dropping reactions. Wordplay, songs played over songs, and blending two songs take a lot of practice… The necessary time investment is why most other Maine Wedding DJs do not have this skill.

You have come to the right place if you want everyone to have a good time while listening to various music from all decades and genres. Let’s party, jump around, raise arms, sing, and dance.

Planning Your Wedding Music with a Wedding DJ

Planning your wedding music with a professional DJ can be a fun and exciting experience. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Create the Perfect Playlist

Creating the perfect playlist for your wedding can be a daunting task, but with the help of a professional DJ, it can be a breeze. Here are some tips to consider:

  • Start by creating a list of your favorite songs and genres. This will give your DJ an idea of your musical style and preferences. Sharing your favorite tracks helps the DJ understand your taste and craft a playlist that resonates with you.
  • Consider the different parts of your wedding, such as the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. You may want to create separate playlists for each of these events. Each part of your wedding has its own vibe, and having tailored playlists ensures the right mood is set at the right time.
  • Think about the mood and atmosphere you want t ocreate for each part of your wedding. For example, you may want to create a romantic atmosphere for the ceremony and a more upbeat atmosphere for the reception. The right music can enhance the emotions and energy of each moment.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask your DJ for suggestions and recommendations.They have extensive experience in creating playlists for weddings and can offer valuable insights and ideas. Your DJ can introduce you to songs you might not have considered but that perfectly fit your vision.

 

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Wedding DJ

Hiring a professional wedding DJ can bring numerous benefits to your special day. Here are just a few:

They will work with you to create a customized playlist that reflects your personal style and preferences. Their expertise ensures that every moment is filled with the perfect soundtrack.

By hiring a professional wedding DJ, you can ensure that your wedding is an unforgettable and memorable experience for you and your guests.

Get in Touch

It is natural when hiring a wedding DJ to approach it with cost in the front of mind. On a very basic, and rudimentary, level a DJ is going to provide you with a sound system and some music. There is no way to escape that fact.  however, the best way to navigate the wide spectrum of pricing is to consider what you value and how a professional DJ can support those values.

Additional DJ Services

include anniversaries, birthday party’s, graduations, proms / schools, corporate gatherings, celebration of life gatherings, holiday parties and additional services like SpeedQuizzing Trivia and Karaoke.

1. Getting the pricing for most Maine DJs requires you to inquire, talk, and then receive a price list for the desired services. Since 2014, that has been my method, too.

2. The most sought-after dates are Saturdays during the warmer months in New England. Friday, Sunday, and mid-week weddings are a different story. As a full-time Disc Jockey, I am always open to conversations about pricing when it makes sense to do so.

3. I offer discounts for first responders and active military personnel, as well as a unique discount for certain indoor weddings.

Getting to know you and your fiancé is the most essential part of what I do. If I don’t know specifics about college, your current job, when and where you met, and the nitty-gritty of what you are into for music, how can I tailor everything to you? I can’t.

We could not recommend Chris more! We hired him as our wedding DJ after experiencing his awesome skills at a relative’s wedding last year. He was so fun and easy to work with. From the first time we reached out to him, he was communicative and friendly, answering all of our questions. He was super helpful in the lead-up to our wedding with finalizing our reception timeline and helping us make some music choices. He was a great emcee and made us feel so comfortable, and most importantly, he kept the dance floor completely full all night! Our guests had a blast at our wedding and he was a huge part of that. Thanks again, Chris!

Chris was SO amazing to work with for my wedding!! I initially was drawn to him by his experience with my venue, but after speaking with him he instilled confidence in all aspects of what i wanted in a DJ. He was detailed with our timeline and music choices, was so crucial in supporting our ceremony music and audio needs, AND made the dancefloor so much fun.

I had specific music visions for special moments of the day and he NAILED them!

Can't recommend Chris enough!
