Specialties
At Kraken Entertainment, we believe your wedding reception should feel like your celebration — not somebody else’s formula.
Our DJs work closely with each couple before the big day to learn what you want, what you don’t want, and what will make your reception memorable. We provide advance planning, a detailed reception questionnaire, professional DJ and MC services, and the equipment needed to keep your celebration running smoothly.
Our Legendary Wedding packages are designed to offer exceptional value without turning every microphone, light, or little extra into another charge. Depending on your package, options can include dance-floor lighting, uplighting, wireless microphones, ceremony sound, additional sound reinforcement and more.
Unlike the actual Kraken, quality service at a reasonable price is no myth at Kraken Entertainment.
We also provide entertainment for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, graduations, proms, holiday parties, community events and celebrations of life, and specialize in Outdoor Movies Under the Stars.
Kraken Entertainment is proud to be the exclusive DJ provider for Hatfield Farm, one of Nova Scotia’s most distinctive wedding and event venues.
From the first conversation to the last song of the night, our focus is on dependable service, professional equipment, careful planning, and making sure your event feels like yours.
History
Established in 2012.
I'd been hosting dances and parties since the early 90's part time. By the mid 2000s I had been working for a major electronics retailer as a store manager for a number of years and was helping a good friend out with his entertainment company frequently.
Kraken Entertainment was sparked when I decided to rent lights and sound equipment to host a birthday dance for my daughter. I took what experience and best practices I had learned from that very good friend and applied it to a business of my own. I have relationships with and work with many other well-known DJ and entertainment companies in the Maritimes, and we are all driven by the common goal of giving our clients the best show possible! I look forward to working with you. Richard Boyce, Kraken Entertainment.
Meet the Business Owner: Richard B.
I’m a professional DJ, sound engineer and lighting technician, and I’ve owned Kraken Entertainment since August 2012. My background in live events goes back much further, with years of experience providing sound, lighting and entertainment for weddings, concerts, community events and other special occasions.
I have an eye for detail, a healthy love of microphones, and I almost always have the next song in my head before it’s time to cue it. I believe great sound, the right music and thoughtful lighting can completely transform an event.
Over the years I’ve worked alongside other respected entertainment companies throughout the Maritimes and provided sound and production support for a wide variety of events.
I’m also a lifelong movie fan, which led to Kraken Entertainment’s Outdoor Movies Under the Stars service — bringing large-screen movie experiences to private, corporate and community events.
