We have everything you need to make your wedding a dream come true. It all starts with the planning assistance. This alone provides a huge value when you’ve never been married before. You may not have attended a lot of weddings either – so, you have no idea & that is okay!
From the ceremony to your last dance – the music is the basic function of a DJ; however, DJs provide more than just music… Microphones for your ceremony & reception, sound systems in multiple locations, and a musical flow that makes everything feel natural. Volume, transitions, styles, and energy levels all effect how your wedding feels. How your wedding day feels is executed with the proper music selections.
Lighting changes any venue – we have been all over the place: Barns, ballrooms, function halls, VFW’s, restaurants, backyard tents, and more. No matter where you are hosting your wedding we have the technology to truly transform your space. Ambiance is created when an emotional response comes from stimuli. We can help create that specific ambiance for you with uplights, dance lights, and spot lighting!

Our Maine DJs offer more than just DJ & Emcee services; our one-stop shop relieves stress, allows you to plan with ease, and provides confidence that you're being taken care of. Our promise to you is customer service excellence from the moment you inquire to the last dance of your reception. Atmosphere: Whether you envision elegant and refined, or fun and lively, Bouchard Entertainment will bring together guests to create your ideal atmosphere.
When you've never been married before, wedding planning can feel overwhelming. Nobody can expect you to know what to do or where to start; that's what your wedding vendors are for! Our wedding planning assistance starts with monthly/bi-monthly check ins to make sure you are on track; including: access to a wealth of resources to help answer questions that may, or may not, apply to being a wedding DJ, and anything related to a Maine wedding. Our online planner, powered by DJ Event Planner, walks you through a timeline of events for any wedding.
Have you ever been to an event where it's "Yeah, Johnny from accounting, you won this award for most paper pushed!" Why not hire an MC, with the equipment to boot, to provide an eloquent delivering of an award? There is a lot to be said for having someone with mic skills announcing your awards. No "ahems" or "uhhh's" just a consistent flow of clear, crisp, and invigorating, words being spoken.
Maine school dances aren't what they used to be; in fact, they're more rare. Hiring the entertainer, for such a special occasion, should be carefully planned and selected. Whether you're planning a homecoming, prom, or themed party, having the right Maine DJ will make sure your students have a blast.
Sweet 16, Dirty 30, The BIG 5-0? Don't you want to throw a party that everyone remembers? Bouchard Entertainment has all of the newest tracks and the throwbacks to keep any crowd having a good time. We are capable of putting together a DJ set to match your taste. You can count on a pumped-up crowd that will be dancing and singing along with lyrics.

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 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 first 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!

My husband and I found Chris online 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!

We chose Bouchard entertainment as our wedding DJ/MC. Chris was fantastic! He sent us a few questionnaires to fill out throughout the wedding planning process. He really understood the vibe we were going for through out cocktail hour and dinner. People complimented us on the music. Everything flowed perfectly during the ceremony and into cocktail hour.
After dinner he turned the volume up and everyone hit the dance floor. I wish we could go back and relive that day over and over again. I would highly recommend Bouchard Entertainment. He made the planning process easy and was an excellent communicator. Thank you Chris!

The very first thing I knew after my fiance proposed to me, even before we picked our wedding date was that we wanted Chris as our DJ! My now Husband and I had worked with Chris many years ago prior to him becoming a DJ. It was such a relief when we contacted Chris and he was available for our wedding day. Despite our wedding date being well over a year away Chris was always in contact with us, always sending emails and offering suggestions and checklists to make sure we were on track with where we needed to be.
I wasn't the best with always checking my emails or getting stuff done on time but Chris had all the patience in the world with me. A few things changed last minute and I had a song I really wanted to add Chris made sure that song was on the playlist for me. We got the full package so the photo booth was included too, let me tell you anyone who is unsure if they want the photo booth or not DO IT!
Everyone at the wedding absolutely loved it and you get the thumbnails to keep copies of to cherish the memories forever! The night of our wedding Chris kept everyone dancing, so many guests complimented him and his persona. I can't say enough great things about Bouchard Entertainment and can't wait until the next big event we have where we will need a DJ it will for sure be Chris!

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 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

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 vibe 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.

He's not only great at what he does, he's one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. And those are the kind of people you want to surround yourself with on wedding day! One thing about Chris the really stands out to me is his impeccable timing. As soon as a speech was done he had the music queued up to the second. His ability to keep the party going with music people will dance to is why you'll hire him, but his genuine personality is why you'll be friends with him long after the last dance!

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 wanted. Our guests raved about how amazing you were all evening long. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ service.

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. He 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.

Chris was amazing!!! We got so many compliments on how much fun everyone had and we owe that to Chris. He was on top of every detail, played the perfect songs, and made everyone laugh! My now father in law was trying his best to set up the venue with some of our wedding signs and Chris went above and beyond and helped him. We had several people tell us that our DJ was awesome and we completely agree! We had the best day and a big part of that was due to Chris.

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!

Chris was amazing to work with! We hired Chris a year before our big day and a lot of big things happened for both of our families (yay baby Henry!) and through it all he was in constant contact and didn't miss a beat! He was always quick to repond and always had encouraging words for us. On the day of our wedding it was a relief to not have to worry about making sure everyone was where they needed to be and that things ran smoothly and on time (which they did!) We have gotten so many compliments on our big day and everyone mentions how wonderful and fun our DJ was. Thank you so much Chris for taking this wild crazy ride with us! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best DJ in Maine!
Robert Thompson
My wife and I would highly recommend chris’s Services. I was told when planning my wedding that the music/DJ either makes or breaks the wedding day, Chris once again passed the test!!! He goes above and beyond just to help out in anyway so things work. His goal at the end of the day is for your wedding day to be one of the best and he accomplished that on our day. Chris is very passionate in the work that he does which makes his services the best in the business. I would highly recommend hiring him. Thanks Chris from Caitlin and Rob your the best

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 this 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

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 party 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!

Chris was amazing! No matter the problem that came about before the ceremony and during the reception Chris worked his magic. He is so easy going and down to earth to talk to. His skills as a DJ as well as a planner are phenomenal. We didnt realize how valuable a vendor would be who could keep a level head, plan things ahead, work with our budget, and just be a great person would be. We wouldn't have gone with anyone else. We highly recommend using Bouchard Entertainment for your wedding. You will not be dissapointed!
Olivia Bardwell
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 could 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!
