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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kevin and Golden Scroll Soloists were our favorite vendors that we worked with for our wedding! I would highly recommend them. They're so easy to work with, flexible, and learned a beautiful piece I had selected for my dance with my dad. We hired them for the entirety of our wedding - pre-ceremony, ceremony, and reception. Their music was a highlight of the whole day. Our guests kept coming up to us and saying how incredible the music was. They were so surprised what string instruments could sound like. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Dj Graeme Ritchie

  • Serves Cranston, 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
Graeme was an absolutely phenomenal DJ. Not only did he have everything for our ceremony and reception but each moment and song was well curated in order to keep the party going. He did a fantastic job communicating with us and knowing exactly what we wanted. By far the best wedding DJ we could have asked for.

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Cranston, RI

Take it to the Bridge is a seven-piece wedding and event band that has exactly what your party needs! The group offers two all-inclusive wedding packages along with planning assistance and 100% dedication to making your day run smoothly! You and your guests will experience the thrill of a live musical performance with songs selected from our extensive, timeless, and versatile repertoire. The band performs each song with a unique, soulful style aimed to get guests out of their seats and onto the dance floor!

We cannot recommend this band enough - they were absolutely amazing and without a doubt the best choice we made to set the mood for the evening. The dance floor didn’t stop all night long - my husband and I couldn’t sit in our seats to finish dinner because we were so excited to get up and dance the second the live music started. The vibes were impeccable. Their voices are so, so good and we love the incorporation of the horns - it really takes the performance up a notch! We booked with Greg and he was wonderful to work with - so friendly, quick to respond and helpful with any questions I had throughout the wedding planning journey. Having a live band was so important to us and our guests have not stopped raving about how great the music was. We had guests dancing that I’ve never seen on the dance floor at any other wedding. The MC services were killer - they even agreed to play piano for our cocktail hour as a special add on at our venue. We love TITTB!!!

Sounds Buono is a boutique, modern DJ collective. Our company is based in the New England area, with a focus on unique weddings and events throughout the region.

We strive to surpass the typical DJ experience by combining vast musical knowledge, personality and style into one-of-a-kind yet inclusive performances. And you won’t find corny tunes, line-dancing or laser shows here (we’re sorry!) We want to offer something that’s a little different from the norm but still connects with you and all of your guests.

Joe was so on top of everything: from our first meeting with him he listened to understand exactly what we were going for and then absolutely nailed it especially considering how wide of a range our requests were. Afro beats, reggaeton, pop punk, EDM, the man doesn’t miss. We did the package with the Hudson Horns and he made all the coordination seem effortless. 10/10 look no further you’ve found your DJ.

I love music and I love playing the music everyone else loves. Playing weddings is my favorite type of event because of the diversity of people and couples I welcome to the dance floor through my thoughtful and inclusive play list. I hope you consult with me to learn how I can make this possible.

Alto Music & Entertainment was exceptional in every way for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was clear, professional, and timely. Josh, the DJ, was warm and kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - Josh is an incredibly talented musician and public speaker who made our ceremony so special by playing live violin as I walked down the aisle and keeping our guests entertained during the reception party. His performance was nothing short of amazing, and I would choose him over and over again. If you're looking for wedding entertainment that is both professional and incredibly talented, I can't recommend Alto Music & Entertainment enough!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Okay brides just book them!!! I wish I could do 200 stars because that’s what they deserve. The amount of people who came up to us through out the night to comment on the music was the most rewarding feeling, because I completely agreed! The combination of live acoustic, with dj is so unique, stood out to everyone, and was worth every penny. The planning process with them was so easy, and they even put my mind at ease by just sharing their insights, while also listening to what we wanted. Joseph perform our first dance song live, which was my favorite part- it wasn’t your typical “slow” song, but we loved it anyways and he really executed it beautifully. We were all in awe of the whole experience. I ALMOST didn’t have them incorporate the live sing a long at the end, but after they described the vibe on our last call I changed my mind and let me say- I’m so glad they did it. One of my friends told me they felt like they were at a concert. We wish we could relive that night over and over again. I really can’t thank Joseph and Erika enough for taking such great care of this experience and creating the night of our dreams!!

Jon smith is hands down the best DJ you could possibly pick for your wedding. He really gets the audience going with his upbeat music and his crowd pleasing games. From day 1 he was so easy to work with and very personable. We had a phone call with him to start and it felt like talking to a friend. He is such an outgoing and great dude. He takes the initiative and always follows up on emails and confirming everything is perfect. We highly recommend visiting him at his office for the second meeting instead of a call/virtual. We had a great time chatting and joking while listening to music with him in person. He gave recommendations on mom/son dance, first dance, father/daughter dance etc. We listened to a ton of music and just hung out for awhile. He performed at Lakeview Pavillion and had a beautiful setup in the corner of the smaller sized ball room and was very professional. His 2 staff members were great as well. He mc’ed the event and knocked it out of the park… Ask Jon to do the towel/guests dancing around the chairs game and thank me later! It’s been 4 months and guests are still saying how much fun they had at our wedding and that the music was dead on ALL night! Jon is the man for your wedding. Don’t even hesitate on getting him if he is available for your wedding! Cheers Eric & Stephanie

We hired Luis Andrade of Lionizing Entertainment for our wedding, and we are SO GLAD we did! We were looking for someone who would let us have a lot of control over our music, and we got so much more. He took our requests into consideration and did a fantastic job building upon them. Luis was funny, welcoming, worked with my grandparents on getting mics connected for the videos they were taking, played excellent music, worked off of our highly curated playlists for the cocktail hour and reception, and kept the dance floor full for hours. I have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding. I highly recommend him as a DJ, I wish there was another event coming up where we could hire him again. We’ve attended quite a few weddings by this point and he outshined every other DJ we’ve seen.
