The perfect soundtrack to our day

Chris is so easy to work with, from his organized process and clear thoughtful communication to great song additions. Music was such an important part of our day and Chris totally understood our vision / vibe. He kept the energy up and dance floor packed / energy up all night!

The Only DJ You Need to Consider

I wish I could take out billboard ads for this review. Chris was such an outstanding DJ at our reception, and honestly a great person to work with all the way up to the big day. From the outset Chris was super helpful and made us feel incredibly important. He made sure to get to know our tastes as well as our personalities, and really listened to all of our requests and suggestions while he performed at the wedding. Throughout the night, and after the wedding, our guests were including the amazing music any time they said anything about the wedding. I feel like having couples that were recently married tell you how incredible the DJ was is a huge tell that he was doing an amazing job. We had played some cultural music and traditional Greek dances and he put them in the mix seamlessly. On top of that he had picked our brains pretty well about whether or not we wanted to allow requests, and after we told him that we trusted him to gatekeep the requests we did exactly that. We had 3 big requests for him for the night. We didn’t want to hear any full songs, we love hearing well done transitions between songs, and we never wanted a moment where people didn’t know the tempo or have something to dance to. He absolutely nailed all 3 of those and the dance floor never had a moment that it wasn’t packed and active. There was one moment that I loved a lot and need to spotlight because it shows how attentive he was. Our flower girl and ring bearer LOVE the limelight and somehow ended up with a circle around them while they tore up the dance floor. They’re 2 and 4 years old and Chris noticed how much fun they were having, so out of nowhere he put on Baby Shark and they went absolutely nuts! They had an amazing time dancing to that and everyone loved their excitement. It was towards the end of the night and Chris transitioned out of that song as smoothly as he got into it. It was the highlight of their night. The next day many relatives told us how nice it was for us to put that song on for the kids, and we had to say that we never even thought of it. That moment was entirely organic. If we could hire him to DJ every single life event we have from here on out, we would. You will not have any regrets booking Chris for your wedding. He’ll give you the best night of music for the best night of your life!

Chris was absolutely incredible from our first email to the very end of our wedding night.

Chris was absolutely incredible from our first email to the very end of our wedding night. We had the luxury of attending a wedding he DJed a year prior and knew he would be perfect for our celebration after dancing the night away. He met with us virtually and stayed in contact to make sure every detail was ironed out before the big day. The questionnaires and sample playlists were super helpful in narrowing down what we wanted and that easily translated into the night's fun. Even though it was a new venue for him, Chris did an amazing job and kept the dance floor full.

Chris is an incredible DJ, audio wizard and planner

I wish I could give Chris Bouchard more than 5 stars for his absolutely incredible service, preparation, and help during our wedding weekend on Memorial Day weekend 2022 as well as the weeks/months leading up to it. We had a complicated arrangement with a 2-day Indian/American fusion wedding with a baraat (parade), two separate ceremonies, and various audio needs on each day. Chris went way above and beyond, organizing detailed plans for each day, providing us with all the audio equipment we needed, walking us through a run-of-show and working with our planner to make sure everything went smoothly. There were many wrenches thrown along the way and Chris handled every situation promptly and professionally, and we couldn't be more impressed with the level of service and care that he personally provided us. He was an incredible DJ and kept the dance floor buzzing all night long, including a special Billy Joel encore after the crowd chanted for one more song. Chris really made this weekend extra special for us and we wouldn't have been able to make it happen without his hard work and dedication to his craft. Highly recommend hiring Bouchard Entertainment not just for his great DJ'ing but also his ability to solve all of your audio needs on your wedding weekend!

Above & Beyond

Chris was the best DJ I have ever heard. Endless positive compliments from my wedding guests about him as well. He took my song suggestions seriously and made the night perfect. There was always people on the dance floor and they loved to see his passion while he was DJing. Chris is amazing at what he does and I’m SO happy I chose him as our DJ.
He also endlessly helped me with a special performance I was doing for my husband. He executed everything I asked him to do, and was so happy to be apart of it !! We couldn’t thank you enough, Chris.

Hire Chris ASAP!

Chris came highly recommended to us by our venue, making it a really easy decision for us to hire him for our wedding day. We are SO happy that we did! From the very beginning of the planning process, Chris was there every step of the way, and provides so many helpful resources and reminders! He really does go above and beyond. He was even more amazing on our wedding day! He nailed all of the timing of the ceremony music, dances, and toasts. He reads the crowd so well, and was able to get everyone on the dance floor and keep the party going the entire night! Everyone had such a great time! We can’t recommend Bouchard Entertainment enough!!

Chris is an excellent DJ

We found Chris though a recommendation from our photographer and we are SO happy that we hired him for our wedding day. He is detail oriented, personable, and a fantastic DJ. Our venue space didn't have a ton of extra room, but Chris had a compact set up and was able to fit seamlessly into the space. We had guests comment afterwards on how wonderful he was and how they loved his song choices and mixing. Chris knows how to read a crowd and keep the party going to the first and last song; we would definitely recommend to anyone!

He made our whole wedding!!

My husband and I found Chris on a wedding website and booked him for our wedding. He MADE our wedding day! Chris is very efficient, he made sure everything was organized and set weeks before the big day, then when the weekend came everything unfolded effortlessly! Toasts, cake cutting, dances, dinner, all happened at the perfect times and my husband and I didn’t have to worry about anything!

But OMG the way he kept everyone dancing and kept the party going all night was unreal! That was the main thing my husband and I wanted and he was really incredible at it! He matched the music to the crowd, transitioned well into a new song when he noticed people leaving the dance floor. He kept ALL of our guests dancing and partying the entire night and every single person we talked to raved about the music and how much fun they had!

We also got a photo booth which Chris’s wife ran, and she and the photo booth were wonderful! The guests loved it!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Bouchard entertainment, you will not regret booking for your big day!

Great DJ, Above and Beyond Service

Chris was recommended by our day-of planner. We were so pleased to have found him. He was a great communicator from the start, and it was clear that he took his job and the importance of the day to us seriously. He also clearly loves what he does for a living. He communicated with us regularly over the year we had him booked for. While he is willing to play whatever DJ roles you want him to, including a more active MC role, he was very game to play the more low-key role focused on the music that we asked of him. We made extensive playlists of our favorite music (not because he asked us to, but because that was our style) and he ran with those to create fantastic mixes for each part of the eve. He kept the dance floor full all night. He also set up music at the ceremony site, and had to do a lot of extra work to keep his equipment out of the rain when a last-second thunderstorm came through. He set my uncle up to play guitar for the ceremony, and got our officiants and readers all mic'ed up, too. Everything worked out flawlessly. Throughout, he was never pushy about anything. He just listened carefully and executed perfectly, all for a very reasonable price. He was a core contributor to the success of our wedding, and our guests were raving about him after. I would recommend him in a second to anyone looking for a fantastic and friendly DJ for their New England wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
