My husband and I found Chris on the knot 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 ef...
fortlessly! 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!
Chris was wonderful to work with. He really listened to what we wanted and was easygoing even when we had a few last minute changes. He worked great with our team of vendors and even surprised us with getting our engagement pictures and doesn’t...
look pictures up on the DJ booth! He had the dance floor filled the whole night. He even had my husband who’s not a dancer out there. Highly recommend!!

Ann Marie, thank you so much for this thoughtful review. I consider myself very lucky to have been able to be a part of your wedding day. Thank you so much for having me!
Hire Bouchard Entertainment – you will not regret it! Chris was SO helpful during the planning process and even though I was last minute on all of my decisions, he was incredibly patient and went above and beyond to prepare and make sure our w...
edding day went off without a hitch. Chris is a true professional and his planning guides, sample playlists, check-in emails and questionnaires were especially helpful. The dance floor was packed all night thanks to Chris! He read the room so well and we received lots of feedback from guests that the DJ was awesome. We added amber up lighting last minute and it really made the room glow and then turned into dance lighting – it added just the right touch to the space and Chris did such a great job with it. Thank you SO much, Chris, for being such a big part of what was truly the best day ever.

AMAZING. Chris went above and beyond for my husband and I during our wedding planning process. I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. He knew what we wanted before we even knew what we wanted. He was always checking in making su...
re we were still on track for getting everything done. The music during the reception got everyone on the dance floor and some people didn’t leave the dance floor all night (including myself!) I would choose Bouchard entertainment over and over again!

Ashley, you and Jeff were so sweet and too kind. Thank you so much for having me. I'll be rocking that Harry Potter prelude a lot in the coming years... I am sure of it. You were both amazing. Congratulations and thank you again!
In the time it took to plan our 2020 wedding - then replan for 2021! - I felt like I really got to know Chris - through email and his social media accounts, and he felt like a good friend, not just a service! I got regular email updates from Ch...
ris through everything, even with little reminders of where I should be at in the planning process! He was always responsive and so cheerful! He truly made the whole process so easy for me, even during the difficulties of rescheduling. I am so grateful we were able to keep him when we had to postpone! 2021 proved to be crazier for me than 2020, and admittedly, I don't think I gave him a whole lot of information to work with. But he did an incredible job the day/night of! He kept everyone out on the dance floor the whole time and was just a great, energetic vibe! Just so much fun to work with and talk with, and I wish I had a chance to talk to him more during the wedding! Of course, being the bride, I got pulled around everywhere, but Chris, you truly are an incredible person and I am so happy I found you in my search for a DJ! I will continue to support you however I can and will always be cheering for you in all your endeavors! Thank you so so much again for everything you did for us! Hey, maybe we'll do it again next year, for the third time! LOL!! <3

Katie, I don't even know what to say! It is very infrequent that I am left speechless. Your kind words mean a lot - definitely a feel good review. I feel the same about you and Jon. Hopefully, for all the right reasons, we don't have to do it a...

By then, I'll actually be deaf - not just thinking I am because of ceremony cannons. ;) Thank you so much - it was a pleasure and I appreciate your willingness to go on the news for me in 2020!! I'll never forget that. :) Thank you for having me and being you.
Chris was amazing! He kept on us track leading up to the wedding by frequent emails and was so quick to respond to any questions I had. He listened to what genres/artists we wanted specifically and everyone had such a great time! He also played...

Kate, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. Your reception was a badass party and I had a ton of fun celebrating with you and Ryan. Let's do it again in 10 years! :)

ake everything as stress free as possible for us, even when it was outside the scope of his job as a dj.
During the planning process, Chris sends reminders of what should be done, checklists, and also will coordinate with other vendors which is so helpful. He sent us playlists so we had a good idea of what to expect during each portion of our day and was just so up front and on top of everything. It was so appreciated.
Thank you, Chris!

Thank you, Alison! I am so blessed and honored to have been a small part in your wedding day. You and Craig were a solid reminder of why I love what I do and I couldn't be happier than to have been able to witness your ceremony & vows. I am tha...
nkful for you both and my gratitude cannot be truly articulated. You went through a lot to get to where we were last week and if I was able to help along the way that is just a bonus. Thank you again for everything! You were a breath of fresh air every step of the way. :)
Chris is an amazing DJ and we would recommend him to anyone. It was important for us to have a DJ that covered a wide range of music (we are big music buffs). Chris went above and beyond helping pull together a great folk playlist for the cockt...
ail hour and jam band music for dinner. During the our wedding day we made last minutes adjustments to our timeline for the first dance and parent dances. Chris flawlessly changed up the set list causing no stress or issues. Once everyone finished dinner the dance floor was the hopping place to be. The music varied from classic hits for the parents, 90 punk for the throwback punk rock kids, to top hits. Clearly Chris knows how to read a room and truly listened the various genres/bands we were looking to hear. We received a lot of praise from our guests saying they felt like the DJ played their favorite song. Chris was great to work with, he was communicative, positive, and extremely helpful. Overall Chris is great choice and you'll be in good hands from start to finish.
Chris was the best decision that we made when it came to planning our wedding! He was punctual, professional, and so fun! He helped us ring in the New Year & kept the party going until 1AM straight! He is very talented--he reads the crowd's vib...
e and transitions his music beautifully. You will NOT regret booking with Chris. He is also extremely affordable for the QUALITY of work that he does. A+
Thank you so much Chris! Our wedding was complete with you.
We could not have been happier with Chris. We booked him way out from our actual wedding date and he was right on top of things for all those many months, always available, quick to respond and helping to keep on track with our planning. The ...
ceremony and reception were literally perfect! We had needed a lot of help choosing music that would compliment the vision we had for ourselves as well as create a fun and joyful experience for our guests and Chris worked closely with us to make that happen. Never intrusive, too loud or to quiet, seamless transitions and a wonderful dance floor, Chris's execution of our music vision was amazing. Our venue's event manager made a point of commenting to us how professional he was and that many DJ's are not as prepared and as easy to work with as Chris was. This was a high end popular venue on the coast of Maine so not so easy to impress! We absolutely recommend Chris Bouchard without reservation. Not a single reason to not hire Chris for you big day!
Chris was AMAZING! From the very start, he was responsive and friendly. He took the time to send out reminder emails leading up to our wedding. Chris was extremely organized and responsive to our requests and needs. He even took the time to do...
a venue visit to make sure he was comfortable for our big day. The best part-the music!!! Chris was AMAZING!! Our dance floor was full the entire night. Chris knew what to play next all night long. All of our guests were commenting on how awesome the music was. We highly recommend Chris and Bouchard Entertainment
We are from the Midwest and were looking around for a DC to assist us in our wedding. While doing research, we came across Bouchard Entertainment. I contacted Chris with information about our wedding and what we were looking for, and I can ho...
nestly say we were blown away by the service we received from Chris. He was easy to work with, very professional, and overall a great person. He made the process so easy. We face timed a few times because he wanted to know me as a person. He took all of my suggestions to heart and even made custom playlists form our song choices as well as music he thought that would fit our needs. All I can say is that he did a tremendous job.
I would recommend Bouchard Entertainment, especially Chris, for your music needs
Chris is an amazing Dj as well as human! He was so accommodating from the very first time we met heading home from a camping trip, to answering my MILLIONS of emails and questions, to rolling with it when we changed all our music choices only a...
few weeks out from the wedding. You can really tell Chris loves what he does from the level of detail he puts into his work, his honesty with you on timeline questions, and just how hard he works to make everything perfect. The dance floor was never empty and he kept my party dancing their butts off. Also - if you are debating on the up-lighting DO IT. It made the whole tent feel like a romantic setting for dinner and down-right the best party spot after food closed up. Chris, you made planning so much easier and the night a perfect blast. You were flawless. THANK YOU for a night I will never ever forget!
Chris is not only a great DJ but a wedding event planner. He kept us on task throughout the planning process to get out limo booked, venue booked, and invites sent out. He did amazing at the wedding too. Such a great, down to earth guy. We cann...

We couldn’t have been happier with the service we received from Chris at Bouchard Entertainment. We had our ceremony down on the beach at the ocean and even though Chris was originally turned away he came back and set up just the same, so we co...
uld have the ceremony of our dreams with music included. He also was great with details and planning, he was able to video conference before the big day instead of meeting in person because we were 2 hours away from Maine. The night went very smoothly and he was a big help in finalizing our timeline of events and keeping our evening on track the day/night of. I would highly recommend Chris as a wedding DJ!

Chris is wonderful and we had such a positive experience with him. He is more than just someone who plays music at your wedding. Throughout the whole wedding planning process he would be there to offer advice and help alleviate a lot of the str...
ess that tends to surround wedding planning. If we had questions or concerns he was always easy to get a hold of. When it came time to discuss music for the event he was very helpful. We were able to choose some of the music that we enjoy listening to so that our personalities could show through. The playlists he put together really captured the vibes we were going for at our event. Our guests had a blast dancing into the night, as did we! Chris really is great. We highly recommend if you want to have a blast at your wedding!

Chris was excellent from start to finish!

Tanya, thank you so much for having me! There were a lot of firsts with your wedding. You and Tony were amongst my favorite couples and I cannot thank you enough for having me as such a small part of your wedding day.
Chris was fantastic. We were planning from across the country and he was great at explaining his services and finding out what we were looking for. Once we finally met on our wedding day right before the reception he explained everything again ...
and went over the timeline to make sure everything was still a go. He is so friendly and has such a great personality. We could tell he loved being there as much as we enjoyed having him! Absolutely had a blast! So many compliments from our guests on what a great DJ we chose

Hi Melissa, I just got your thank you card yesterday! You and Julian had an amazingly unique wedding! When you told me to dress beachy I was a little hesitant so I wore my "dressed down" DJ outfit. I was still way overdressed. I'll never forget...
your dress! :) Thank you so much for the review - I am SO happy that everyone was pleased. It was great hearing from you after the wedding and I couldn't be more delighted. I hope all is well out in Cali and that married life has been good to you! "Expect a call from us to help celebrate our 10 year anniversary." Is what your card says... I'm holding you to it!
I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about Chris. My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ to play at our wedding. Working at an event center, I have seen my fair share of DJ’s and bands. Chris is by far my first choice...
. He is extremely responsive, professional, and accommodating, He never made me feel bad for asking questions or going my own way. He catered to my our requests, hiccups, and song selections. He plays to the crowd while still respecting your do and don’ts. I planned my Maine wedding from Alaska, so Chris Skyped my husband and I prior to our arrival in ME. He made the conversation comfortable and really understood our vision. He sent out a timeline prior to the wedding, which I found to be super helpful! He was extremely personal and fun to talk to. I received so many positive remarks about Chris and his services from an abundance of people. One thing I like about Chris is his appreciation for active military members. Overall, Chris was the perfect choice for our wedding and I would recommend him to anyone for any occasion. Simply the best choice!

Chris was an amazing part of our wedding day! He went above and beyond our expectations, making our day fun and relaxed. First he brought all of his equipment up a gondola to a mountain peak! Then he proceeded to orchestrate an amazing dance pa...
rty for me and my guests! Chris communicated with us throughout the day and was accommodating and supportive to our every need and desire. He played all the type of music we wanted and the transition between songs were incredible! He read the crowd the entire night, knowing when to change the music to read the vibe of the crowd. We extended our reception and Chris had no problem keeping the party alive on the dance floor for the entire time. At the end of the night everyone was chanting "encore!" and chris was gracious enough to play another song. We will always be happy with the decision we made for a DJ and would recommend Chris to all! Thanks Chris!
Response from the Vendor on 12/26/2018
Kaitlin, I have one regret with your wedding. When everyone chanted "Encore!" after 4 hours of high energy dancing... I Chose "Don't Stop Believin'" Now, this may have worked for you but ever since I wish I had chosen "Jump Around" because it w...
ould have carried the energy for another 4 minutes! But, that aside... WOW. You and Trevis brought the party and I enhanced it. I tried a lot of new things at your reception and each decision went over perfectly. If I have to travel up a mountain, for any other wedding, they need to bring the party like you and your guests. Gah, I would do your wedding 100 times if I could. Thank you for trusting me with your big day!
Everyone knows weddings can be stressful even if you've been planning your dream wedding for years like myself. I reached out through social media in Hope's some close friends could recommend a dj,that they used or heard good things about. At t...
his time I had multiple close friend recommend Chris, I immediately looked up his website and pricing and reached out. Chris immediately responded and I went with faith and hired him without looking at any other DJ's. Huge risk but that gut feeling I knew he would be the best fit, and boy was I right. Chris was an active role throughout our wedding process from day one. Not only helping with music but making sure we had everything under control.
Having Chris as our DJ was a huge task for him without him even knowing. My husband is a very very picky music selector, no country, want a new music, etc. Chris had a huge task at hand and come wedding day Chris exceeded our expectations. He interacted with our guest and kept that dance floor full all night. And best of all the husband was thoroughly impressed. Our experience was top notch with Chris and would recommend him for any of your events. Thank you Chris
Response from the Vendor on 12/26/2018
Jamie, after we met at Sebago I knew I was being challenged by Mark to provide the right music. Not actually challenged... but, I was being challenged to make sure I gave him what he wanted while keeping the dance floor moving! I appreciate you...
both for being so understanding about the challenged of North Peak lodge and working with me to solve any hiccups we came across. Your ceremony was frigid but I am glad we did it outside! Your review thanks me... and, I appreciate that; however, I want to thank you and Mark for going with me without having searched around. Our first interaction together left a very positive impression on me and I am happy that it did with you also. The challenge of the venue and Mark's musical tastes made everything more fun for me... Thank you so much for having me at your wedding. I would not trade any of it for the world and I'd rewind and do it again in a heartbeat. You two are an amazing couple, ying and yang, peanut butter and jelly... Perfect. Thank you, the honor is all mine.
Chris not only got our crowd pumped up & kept them on the dance floor, but he made sure our day went smoothly from beginning to end! He quickly played song requests, read the crowd beautifully and made sure our evening was exactly what we wante...

of the night there was nothing but love and excitement. Your crowd danced like it was 1999 and brought the energy like it was the greatest concert they had ever been to. I have videos and pictures of you and Aaron enjoying the night and it is truly touching to know that I was there to witness the union of an amazing couple. Definitely the most fun I had this year. THANK YOU so much for choosing me!
Chris was amazing to work with!! He also did an amazing job keeping things moving at the reception! We've had many compliments from guests on how great the music/DJ was!!

Your passion for the wedding day was infectious and your love for one another is something people only dream of. Thank you for having me as a small part in your BIG day! :)
Chris was above and beyond the expeactions we had. He was easy to contact and was very quick to respond to my many questions! I was told I may have been “birdezilla” by my family but that did not stop Chris. On my big day my goal was to get eve...

Rob, what a party we had! :) You, my friend, are a very unique client. The bride in the wedding planning is usually my go-to; but, this was your role in the wedding planning. I appreciate all the hard work, the get togethers, the texts, phone c...
alls, and responsiveness as a client. We did a lot together and am happy to have been able to help you along the way. I look forward to running into you in the future... I'll never forget Hells Bells into Danza Kuduro. Truly a unique grand entrance! Thank you!
Chris Bouchard is the real deal! Chis is a consummate professional who is deftly talented at making beautiful memories! We are so pleased with Chris’ contributions to our beautiful daughter, Margot, and wonderful don-in-law, Nicholas’, wedding ...
reception at the Bar Harbor Regency Stone House. First of all his set up is gorgeous. He has these beautiful white panels around his equipment, sophisticated. He provided the
lighting for our event and I loved it!!! The uplights he used added so much atmosphere to the room, I couldn’t believe it. His presentation style is terrific. Friendly and warm, never cheesy or overpowering. And his music selection was perfect. He read the crowd with skill and played song after song everyone enjoyed. Chris M.C.’d the shoe game, which was darling. I very strongly recommend Chris Bouchard as the music choice for your wedding. We had thought we wanted a band, but think nothing would have been as good as Chris. He was Amazing! Terrific! Perfect!!!!!!

Meredith, Margot and Nicks wedding was stunning. You did such an amazing job putting together the dream wedding. From beginning to end you had the details wrapped up and under control. It was an absolute honor to provide reception music for you...
, your closest family, and the newlyweds. I am so happy that you were happy! Thank you for this kind review and providing me with one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in Bar Harbor!
I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about Chris. My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ to play at our wedding. Working at an event center, I have seen my fair share of DJ’s and bands. Chris is by far my first choice...
. He is extremely responsive, professional, and accommodating, He never made me feel bad for asking questions or going my own way. He catered to my our requests, hiccups, and song selections. He plays to the crowd while still respecting your do and don’ts. I planned my Maine wedding from Alaska, so Chris Skyped my husband and I prior to our arrival in ME. He made the conversation comfortable and really understood our vision. He sent out a timeline prior to the wedding, which I found to be super helpful! He was extremely personal and fun to talk to. I received so many positive remarks about Chris and his services from an abundance of people. One thing I like about Chris is his appreciation for active military members. Overall, Chris was the perfect choice for our wedding and I would recommend him to anyone for any occasion. Simply the best choice!

Jordan & Jake, I am so happy your search for a DJ brought you to me. Your wedding was the first time I used an alternative rock playlist. It went over extremely well and the experience has been carried over into others big days, too. The barn w...
as MASSIVE! It was so cool seeing cornhole setup up top... You guys did so well planning from the other side of the world, almost, lol. Thank you so much for allowing me to celebrate with you!
Chris was nothing short of amazing for our wedding, 4/21/18! Easy to work with, the online music system was easy to navigate. My guests did not leave the dance floor all night!! Everything flowed smooth from ceremony to reception for us. Above ...
all, he made sure that we would be well taken care of in the event of the impending birth of his son! He worked in advance to secure a back up and made sure we were comfortable with everything that could of possibly happened! I could not recommend anyone more professional!!

Heather, what a way to start 2018. I LOVED working with you and Stephen. I absolutely adored Camp Ketcha and your vision for the perfect wedding. Making sure I had coverage in the event is was needed... Was literally the least I could do! Your ...
crowd set an extraordinarily HIGH bar for 2018. Thank you so much for the good times and memories!
Chris was nothing short of astounding! From the planning process making sure the day went as planned, with an easy to use planning application or during the day of making sure they day had a nice flow and pace; he was there.
His responsivenes...
s to questions, comments, or anything that came up was unmatched. Chris truly felt like he was always there to help and was always attentive to what we wanted. It was his mission to understand us not only as clients, but individual people to make sure he not only understood how we pictured our big day, but how he could execute it perfectly.
Our entire wedding was out on the dance floor from the first song and had us all asking for more after the 2nd and 3rd encores! He really takes pride in doing his homework to understand the crowed and it shows, every song that came on had everyone excited, smiling, and sometimes jumping.
For any events, weddings, parties, or anything you can imagine I couldn’t think of anyone else I would rather work with. Chris is a true professional, who is clearly doing something he loves; bringing a passion and energy that will make your event something to remember.

Kyle - Skiesta is a beautiful location to host any wedding; however, yours was so beautiful in it's own way. Your small gathering brought the highest energy and the most love to any reception I have been blessed to be part of. I look back at yo...
u and Mikaylas wedding very often. The rap-toast by Michelle I was able to catch on video and I still show people pretty often. Thank you for having me! The honor and pleasure was all mine.
We hired Chris Bouchard for our September wedding. Chris took the time to meet up with us to discuss our wedding playlist and was readily available to answer any of our questions. We created a playlist with his guidance and felt at east knowing...
that our wedding night would not be filled with any music we didn’t approve of. He kept the crowd engaged and the night flew by under his direction. His professionalism and creativity were very much appreciated and we would highly recommend him for any special event!

Jamie, your wedding was unique and it'll always be one I remember. Having you friend up on stage with me providing his unique approach to MC'ing was a ton of fun and I learned some things from him. I will always remember your hoola-hoop routing...
! It was awesome. I am so happy your search for a DJ brought you to me.. I would do it all over again if we could! Thank you. :)
Chris was seriously a super star. From the very first contact Chris' communication was timely, thorough, thoughtful and chock full of good information. He was working in a venue he had never been to, and our requests were relatively complex. H...
e took his own time to come down a day early and attend the rehearsal due to the complexity of the situation so that he could confidently execute our perfect day. At no point did he ever seem impatient or put off by the specificity with which we were presenting and he took everything in stride and executed beautifully. It rained on our wedding day, a lot. This took a lot of last minute adjusting. Luckily, it held off long enough for our outdoor ceremony but this meant Chris had to set up and break down sound equipment so we could have our ceremony music, then he could get out of dodge before the rain hit. Chris was able to adjust last minute to make sure we still had everything we wanted despite the weather woes and he was supportive and positive throughout the process. He kept the schedule of events on time, kept people on the dance floor, dealt with power surges in our venue, followed all our requests and made our day everything we could have wanted even with a few curveballs. I would definitely recommend working with Chris Bouchard. He always makes you his priority and will not let you down.

Eden & Adam, there is only one couple I have ever worked with that has taken my wife and I out to dinner and provided us with everything we needed to enjoy our stay for a wedding. You both are so kind, so passionate, understanding, and inviting...
. Thank you so much for everything... Not only trusting me to be your DJ... but for everything else you did. I look back at your wedding often and my wife brings it up, too. We were touched and honored that you chose us!

! He was very responsive to all questions, easy to get in touch with, very professional, good listener and cares about the couples wants and needs. Our guests gave us so many compliments about him! Not enough good things to say about booking him as our DJ! A night to aways remember 😊

uences me in the best of ways. So happy to have been there, so awesome to see your dance floor packed all night, I truly had a great time. Thank you for choosing me as your DJ!
Chris Bouchard was amazing to work with. My venue called for some unique circumstances, and Chris was wonderful at working with me to decide on the perfect plan for the wedding. Chris also took the time to visit the venue ahead of time to make ...
sure that everything was taken into consideration in deciding on a plan. He came early on our wedding day, set everything up quickly and quietly, and managed to provide music in three different locations at the wedding. Chris has a great personality and truly added so much enthusiasm and life to the party. He kept the timeline in mind while directing the wedding guests, allowing for smooth transitions between each event. Chris always came to me for my thoughts and ultimately made his decisions based on what I envisioned for my day. I highly recommend this DJ for your big day. He will work hard to make your day perfect and will keep everyone on the dance floor until the night ends!

Alyssa, your wedding involved a couple of firsts for me. The biggest was the numerous setups and logistics of Hardy Farm. The second was being to Hardy Farm for the first time after hearing about it from so many other DJs. The biggest thing tha...
t stands out to me is watching you and Spud during your first dance. You two were glowing with love and that shimmer is still there when I've seen you between your wedding and now.... going on three years later. Thank you SO much for everything you did. Working with you, both, was truly amazing and I am honored to have been part of your day.
