You and your guests will have fun...Lots of fun !

Atlantic Coast Entertainment... has been  the leader in wedding reception entertainment since 1983. Thousands of weddings later, Atlantic Coast continues to be in very high demand.  Rest assured that only our "Wedding Certified" entertainers are chosen for your wedding reception. This  is  necessary  because  weddings  require  such  delicate expertise in music programming and event coordination. We  listen very closely to your goals, ideas, and feelings, to ensure that we make your  "Special Day"  as perfect as you envision it.
 

EXPERIENCE ● PERSONALITY ● TALENT

Something To Think About

With all the new technology available these days, anybody can download thousands of songs and music videos on their computer or iPod, but that DOES NOT make them an ENTERTAINER! Remember they can't download Experience, Personality or Talent! Don't let your next event or party big or small be the training site for a new or inexperienced Disc Jockey. Atlantic Coast Entertainment has more entertainers to choose from and we can find the perfect fit and personality for your Wedding Reception. Also all our Entertainers are Wedding Certified and trained solely by the staff  of Atlantic Coast Entertainment, where they are tested weekly to keep their skill level sharp and their music knowledge current.

Atlantic Coast Entertainment has many different styles and configurations of DJ booths, screens, lighting, uplighting, event lighting and special effects to go with your specific wedding theme.

Setup Charge

All the prices listed are for events at "Easy Access" venues. Atlantic Coast Entertainment does not charge a fee for "set-up or breakdown time" before and after your event at most reception locations which are considered "Easy Access" venues.

"Easy Access" is best described as being able to load equipment on hand carts and wheel it in the building to the location of use without having to negotiate stairs.  

"Easy Access" is also described as having the use of elevated ramps (for wheeling hand carts with heavy equipment into elevated buildings), or having the use of an elevator or dumb waiter (to move hand carts with heavy equipment into elevated buildings). 

However, there will be a "Difficult Venue Setup Charge" if... your event is at a location, including but not limited to, Mohegan Sun Casino, Foxwoods Casino, New London Elks Lodge, Westerly Elks Lodge, Mystic Yachting Center, Oswegatchie Fire Company #4, Bozrah Volunteer Fire House or any other location that does not have easy access...
("which includes buildings with only "a few stairs") for bringing in and setting up the equipment. 

Strict Budget

Keep This In Mind...If you are planning on having a very simple wedding service and/or reception but, you are on a limited / strict budget, ... give us a call and we  will  work with you to help you plan your event and also try and help you stay within your budget.

Also... Remember your "Entertainment" is the MOST important element of one of the most important days of your life.  Your guests may not remember the "Ice Sculpture" or what kind of "Cheese Platter" or "Hors d'oeuvres" were there, but they will remember the music, the entertainer and how much they danced. The entertainer you choose will make or break your event. If we are "closed out" and unable to provide you with an entertainer on your reception day or for whatever reason you choose not to book your event with the Wedding Professionals at Atlantic Coast Entertainment...PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR...and check out the skill level of the entertainer you have chosen.
