    Perfection!

    I am so incredibly happy that I hired Chris for my wedding! He was so much fun to work with and went above and beyond to make our wedding the best day of our lives! I hired Chris because of his perfect reviews online and because he has a Portuguese background. My family is Portuguese and I wanted a DJ who would make them feel included. He did absolutely that! My husband and I were so impressed by Chris’ professionalism, organization, attention to detail, communication, and of course, talent! He met with us several times before the wedding over the span of a year and half to get to know us and our music preferences. And OMG all of those meetings and the homework he gave us was SO worth it! His song choices were so on point! I never wanted to leave the dance floor and even told my photographer that I no longer wanted late night pictures because I just wanted to dance the night away. At the beginning of the night, not many people were dancing because it was beautiful weather and we had 2 patios with extra activities for people to do. Once I convinced all of our friends to return to the dance floor, Chris paid attention to who was dancing and chose the perfect songs to keep everyone on the dance floor for the rest of the night. He was so good at reading the room!!! You can tell that Chris has so much knowledge, experience and skill as a DJ. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. My friends even said that they were mad at themselves for not dancing more at the beginning of the night because they were so impressed. I honestly may throw an anniversary party at some point just so I can hire Chris again. I can’t thank you enough Chris! You are amazing at what you do!

    Chris is awesome!

    Chris was our DJ at our wedding in Newport, RI in June 2021, and let me tell you he did NOT disappoint! He was super detail-oriented leading up to the day, making us feel extremely comfortable and like we were in excellent hands. He also just felt like someone we'd want to hang out with, which made it all the more fun. On the day of, he kept right with our vibe and kept everybody having a good time, young and old! He even had a few surprises up his sleeve throughout the night, which made it extra special. If you're looking for someone fun, organized, professional, and who can keep the party going, Chris is your go-to! Thanks Chris for making our party unforgettable

    Amazing experience - 100% recommend Chris!

    Writing a review on here won't do Chris justice - he was everything we wanted in a DJ and more! Chris was extremely organized throughout the entire planning process and was a true professional. He did a great job improvising and engaging with guests on the dance floor. We 100% recommend Chris!

    He kept the evening moving!

    Chris was all class. He (and his photographer wife, Nellie) made the evening. His music and the manner in which he directed the evening kept our guest engaged from beginning to end. Absolutely thoughtful worth it and more.

    No brained! Danced till we got kicked out

    Chris does an amazing job. He is super flexible with how you can meet with him- we had to use FaceTime and phone calls because we live in CT and planned a wedding in RI. He gave us homework that got us thinking, offers playlists to help you brainstorm your own custom list of must have songs. Something I lend to friends as advice now is something Chris asked us for which was 3 specific songs - I’ll let him explain. Long story short our family and friends went wild from the second he started the music and were angry when we had to leave the venue and the wedding was over. We danced nonstop. He feels out the crowd and makes his moves based on the vibes. You won’t be disappointed!!

    Phenomenal !

    We can't put into words, how great Chris was at not only our wedding, but through the whole planning process. Talk about someone that truly cares about his clients! We had our wedding at Aldrich Mansion at the beginning of September, and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. Chris brought so much energy and you could tell throughout the whole day & night that he had everyone engaged the entire reception. We have received so many compliments from our guests that it was one of the best weddings they have been to. 

    On top of being a fantastic DJ and host for our wedding, Chris was so calm whenever he was speaking with us throughout the day, which was exactly what we needed during all the chaos brought on by a wedding! It was great to have a vendor at our wedding that feels like a friend you have known for 10 years! HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Chris!

    A Night to Remember

    What can I say about Chris Saraiva other than he's FANTASTIC! My husband and I felt so comfortable with him from Day One! He is professional and funny at the same time. He guided us throughout the entire process and was there to answer any questions we had. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! Everyone loved him and the music he plays, he plays to make sure everyone in the room feels involved and incorporated. I have been to many weddings where they play music in a certain genre...where some people love it, while others in the room hate it or are uncomfortable. Chris knows exactly how to play the crowd and get the party started. He wasn't only apart of our wedding day, but the entire process along side his wonderful wife (our photographer) Nelly Saraiva. He made my husband and I feel even more comfortable during our Engagement session...always trying to bring humor into it, because they could tell we were nervous. I think mostly it was me that was nervous. He made it easier for me than I could have imagined, when it came down to picking our music selection. If you're looking for a professional DJ that knows how to bring the life to the party and keep it going all night long, then look no further than Chris Saraiva!!!

    Personal, Personable, Perfect!

    Chris was absolutely amazing! From ceremony to the final songs at the reception, the whole day felt so personal and customized to our tastes and personalities. Chris did an amazing job of reading the room, getting people up and dancing, and making sure each event went smoothly and was appreciated by all. No moment or detail was lost and everyone had a phenomenal time! Chris took the time to get to know us and truly made the day feel like ours. As performing arts teachers and directors we can be very particular about music...not to mention all of the traditional Greek music we needed for the Greek part of our family! Chris blended all of our needs and requests perfectly into the evening. We could not have been more pleased - he made our special day a dream come true!

    Chris is amazing

    We just had our wedding at the Rosecliff Mansion and we are so happy that we had Chris there! There is a small window for vendors to set up at the Rosecliff because it is a museum during the day. Chris was able to set up quickly and his DJ equipment is set up very nicely. He does not leave cords hanging everywhere, it is very tidy and looks very professional. He did a great job getting our crowd dancing and played a lot of different genres of music. We met with him over the phone (we are from out of state) several times before the wedding. He gave us questionnaires to fill out well in advance of the wedding so that we would not be stressed about music selection when the wedding month came. He took into account everything that we requested be played (or not played) and his transitions were smooth from song to song! He really knows how to get the party going and we were so happy to have him!!

    A true expert

    Chris was a true professional from start to finish. I felt as though we were in expert hands during the whole planning process. He had great suggestions and advice for things we wouldn't have otherwise thought of. I didn't want a 'cheesy' DJ, I wanted someone who would listen to our requests and understand our 'vibe' and Chris hit the nail on the head. Everyone of all ages was dancing all night! Would highly recommend!

    Best DJ!!!

    Where do we begin with Chris! First, he made us feel at ease with the whole process. He gave us a lot of good recommendations on songs for our wedding day and he made the process less stressful. He’s very knowledgeable about what songs will get the crowd moving. He’s also very knowledgeable on lighting for the specific venue. He told us exactly what lighting will work best for our venue and it was absolutely beautiful!! Chris killed it on our wedding day!! I couldn’t believe how literally all the guests were on the dance floor and the guests ranged from kids to older folks. They all had a blast!! Everyone, including myself and my husband, was dancing the night away and it made me so happy to see!! Also, the lighting was just amazing and unlike anything I’ve seen at other weddings I’ve been to. I thought it was so unique. Also, after my husband and I walked out into the reception, Chris invited all our guests to dance with us on our intro song which was super unique!! The day after our wedding we had a brunch with our friends and family and they couldn’t stop talking about how great Chris was and how they hadn’t danced like that in a very long time!! If you’re getting married you need to book Chris ASAP!!! You’re not going to regret it!!

    The absolute best DJ

    Chris was so helpful in answering all of our questions and he gave us great advice about the wedding planning process in general too not only about the entertainment aspect of the day! All of our guests were a wide variety of ages and the older adults all the way to the little kids at our wedding had a blast on the dance floor!

    Best DJ Alive

    Chris was the best DJ. He had the dance floor packed at all times during our reception, and he even surprised us with an awesome treat before my wife and I’s first song. Chris was always available to meet in person or on a video call. He was always punctual and always responded to questions right away. We all now how important follow ups are when planning a wedding. Chris guided on us on finding the right entrance songs for our parents and he came up with great ways to introduce some of the important people in our lives. Chris was always prepared and help create our perfect wedding with his uplighting. I will miss communicating with him while planning our wedding. We would definitely recommend him to any one planning a wedding.

    Chris is THE BEST!!!

    If you want your wedding to be the wedding of the year, then Chris is the person you want! He makes sure he has all your guests on the dance floor!! He is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Chris is very organized and personal. He meets with you multiple times before the big day to make sure everything goes smooth sailing. You will not be disappointed!

    Wonderful!

    Chris was extremely professional and thorough throughout the whole process. He was so patient with us despite our busy schedules! On the day of the wedding he was our point- man and handled things behind the scenes so that our whole day ran smoothly. Would choose Chris again in a heartbeat!

    What an AMAZING night!

    The first time we met Chris, we instantly clicked. He was very personable, down to earth, and professional. Chris helped us every step of the way to ensure that we had an incredible evening. Our meetings with Chris were always very productive (not to mention fun). Chris was there to help with any questions we had and offer suggestions, as needed, but he always left the final decision up to us. We had a multi-cultural wedding and Chris did an excellent job keeping the dancefloor packed. We had an AMAZING night and our guests had a great time too. Chris is an excellent MC and Dj; my husband and I are so happy we had Chris as our wedding Dj.

    Best DJ hands down

    Best DJ!!! Chris was polite, professional ,organized , creative, and down right awesome!!! His music selection was based off of our types of music we like as well as the flow and mood of our wedding. My wife and I here all the time how awesome the music and night!! And we couldn’t agree more. I have a few friends getting married in the next couple years and I will try my best to have them go with Chris because I know they will not be let down!! Thanks Chris!!

    Amazing and so organized and knowledgeable

    Amazing DJ! We have been to numerous weddings with Chris as the DJ over the years so when it was our turn to tie the knot we knew who to call. From beginning to end he helped with every little music detail and really kept the party going all night long! We’ve received many compliments about him from our guests since our wedding. Highly recommend Chris, such a great person and outstanding professional.

    Couldn't Ask For Anyone Better

    From the moment we met with Chris, he couldn’t have been more professional and helpful planning our wedding. He was very detail oriented and met with us multiple times before the big day which helped put our mind at ease. One of the things we liked most about him is his honesty- he told us when our ideas would not work as we envisioned, and advised us against different add-ons that other companies would have pushed for. On the big day, Chris did a great job of keeping us on track and checking in with us periodically. He worked with my husband to organize a surprise dance for me and pulled it off successfully. Once the dance floor opened, it was packed until closing time! We definitely recommend Chris for all events!!!

    A true professional!

    Chris was the DJ at my wedding at the Bohlin in Newport, RI in June. Throughout the entire process, Chris was a true professional - his organization, responsiveness, and knowledge of the industry made the planning the reception extremely stress free for us. He took the time to get to know us by setting up several skype meetings prior to the wedding and assisted with song selections and timelines.
    The dance floor was packed all night and we received great feedback from our guests for weeks after the wedding. We can't thank Chris enough, he truly went above and beyond and we would highly recommend him to any couples planning a wedding!

    Talented and skilled duo

    Let me start off this review by just pointing out what skillful professionals Chris and Nelly are. When my wife and I first planned our wedding we had originally intended to have a destination wedding, but due to unforeseen family health isssues we had to arrange a local wedding in about 3 months. We were so overwhelmed, but with the guidance of Chris and Nelly, everything turned out perfect! Their ideas and suggestions really helped make our wedding what it was. Our family and friends danced all night, and after the wedding many of them called to express how much fun they had. Chris is such a great MC and really understands his crowd and how to get people on the floor. He is very outgoing and I believe people sense his vibe. As for Nelly, We feel like she is truly an artist. Her technique for photography is unreal, and her images are definitely on par with anything you might see in a famous magazine. On our wedding day, it was pouring rain, and we were so worried about where we were going to take pictures and how they would turn out. Nelly really stepped up and eased our concerns and found an amazing place for photos. Chris and Nelly are really a brilliant and talented team and we would recommend them to any couple getting married who wants an exceptionally beautiful wedding.

    Do you want your wedding to be memorable?

    When we originally hired Chris, we expected to leverage his experience as a DJ and providing uplighting services. What we received in return was so much more, including a wedding planner, confidant, and most importantly a friend.

    To say Chris exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. His organization and proactiveness takes the stress out of the months and weeks leading up to your big day. We were also impressed with how available he was for us given our availability during the week was limited to late evenings given our work schedules.

    One of our primary goals for our wedding night was to ensure our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. We placed that burden on Chris very limited input on the type of music we wanted and boy did he deliver!! He truly has the range to appease to any type of audience you can imagine!

    Chris' value does not end there. Chris takes all the worries and stress out of the wedding day itself. As many people told us leading up to it, the actual day does fly by and you will be pulled in various directions. I explicitly remember asking Chris at one point during dinner what was next and he simply replied, "Don't worry about, go enjoy yourself and I will find you when I need you." I get it, sounds simple right? But I can't tell you how much that meant to us to just let go of everything and focus on enjoying OUR day.

    I can't recommend Chris enough...but don't take my word for it. Schedule some time to meet Chris and see for yourself. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!

    Chris Saraiva did an awesome job at our wedding. My husband and I did not have much time to pick out songs as we run a business and we were in our busy season. We had all faith in him after our first meeting. What a kind man and musically intelligent. I would highly recommend him for any event. Our friends and family are still raving about our wedding and what a beautiful night it was. My 78 year old Aunt never danced so much in her life!

    WOW, What can we say about Chris that captures what a true blessing it was to have Chris be our DJ. My husband and I could not have been happier with his services. We had some unique circumstances and hurdles to give Chris and he worked with every one of the. First we had lots of different names for our wedding parties as a same sex couple and Chris helped us with figuring out how to announce the "best woman" and "groomsmaids" We were married on my parents farm and he worked hand in hand with my father to work on setup, ways to get electrical to the middle of the field, and did site visits with us several times to plan it all out. Chris is meticulous which was extremely helpful when planning with our caterer and he collaborated with her as well to make the serving seamless with things like the first dances and the cake cutting. We told Chris we wanted songs edited to do a grand entrance and he made it happen. He was honest with us about what we could accomplish which I thought was rare because people often will not be honest with you about your wedding day, and it made the entrances so much better than we even initially planned. When I wanted to do a surprise dance with dancers and specific lighting, Chris just said "Of course, what are you thinking? Lets talk again on the phone." Everything was perfect and on the wedding day people were begging Chris to stay, so much so that they were all collecting money to just pay him without telling my husband and I. Chris is truly the most talented individual and someone I highly recommend for your wedding, or any other event where music, lighting and hosting are talents that you need. We ended up doing the Dj services with the up lighting package and again we could not have been happier! Thank you so much Chris for making our wedding day more than what we could have imagined. -Stephen and Justin
