Mercier Music Weddings and Events

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Oakland, RI

My philosophy for music is, "You bring the dancers and I'll bring the music".  I'll take your requests and my years of experience and turn your wedding into something your guests will never forget.  In order to play the right song at the right time, it's all about observation and knowing your crowd.  As I am selecting and mixing songs, I am attentive to everyone's reaction. Years of performing gives me an understanding of action and reaction... an easier way to put it is, I know how to rock the socks off your wedding!

Shane was absolutely AMAZING! He completely nailed it and made our wedding at OceanCliff the best party ever. From the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception, the music was perfect. He set the vibe for every moment, and when it came time to hit the dance floor—WOW! The lighting was on point, and the energy was through the roof. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had. Shane kept everyone dancing all night long, and he somehow played exactly what we wanted without us even having to ask. It was like he could read the room and just knew what would keep the party going. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s going to bring the fun, keep the dance floor packed, and make your wedding unforgettable, Shane is your guy. Thank you for helping us throw the party of our lives!

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Have it your way! That is my philosophy. There are so many different tastes and styles to accommodate, so I work extra hard to make your day exactly how you want it. What's the secret? I listen! I pay attention to each individual client and their own needs. I've been using this philosophy for years, and it has been working quite well! I am constantly learning more about my first love: Music! As a Master of Ceremonies, the philosophy is the same. I never say too much, it is not about me! It's about the client, and I never want to outshine or take any of their attention away.

Book DJ Dayglow - you will not regret it!! Our wedding was over a year ago and our friends and family are still raving about what an incredible DJ we had!! Kara was the most amazing person to work with - she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, what kind of music we were excited about and what to avoid... and she absolutely NAILED IT. Our dance floor was completely packed from start to finish. As a queer couple, we really wanted to work with vendors who identify as and/or have a lot of experience with queer couples. Kara checked those boxes, making us feel SO affirmed and comfortable. She even helped me pull off an epic surprise - a drag queen performance during our reception as a wedding gift for my partner :) Can't recommend Kara enough - she's truly the best!

Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

We had the pleasure of working with Golden Scroll Soloists this past December and they were absolutely amazing! Kevin is great at communicating and they went above and beyond by also playing our first dance! They have an extensive library and if that's not enough, you can also ask them to arrange songs. All of our guests loved them and we can't recommend them enough! Thank you Golden Scroll Soloists!

Xtreme Soundz was the DJ for our August wedding and there are only good things to say about them as a team! Don’t get me wrong… when we initially booked with Xtreme Soundz and found out that Luis was not available to do our wedding, we were a little hesitant to book with Andrew since he was new to the Xtreme Soundz team, but on our wedding day, Andrew did not disappoint! Both, Luis and Andrew, were a part of the planning process from the beginning and made sure that everything was going to run smoothly the day of.  During the planning process they used the app Vibo, which was an extremely convenient way for us to add songs to our wedding playlist and input other useful information so that they could create a timeline. On our wedding day, Andrew was professional, enthusiastic, and personable. He played most of the songs on our playlist as well as requests that were made by our guests to keep the party going all night. Andrew took every step to ensure that our wedding night was everything that we could’ve dreamed of and that not a minute was wasted. If you’re looking for a great DJ – you’ve come to the right place!

Planning a wedding can be difficult, stressful, and can cost quite a bit. My job is to simply make this process as easy as it can be for you so that your special day is a memorable one. Leave all the worrying and coordination to me as I conduct your day the way that you want it to be carried out. Not only do I JUST play music, but I also consider myself to act as a LIAISON so that your wedding runs as smoothly as possible for you and your guests. As my father always said, "It's not just about the music. It's about creating life long memories."

DJ Jalen Young was a fantastic addition to our wedding day! From the very first email, Jalen was extremely responsive, professional, and personable. He really listened to our preferences for the music and vibe we wanted, and delivered exactly that. The uplighting he provided made the room feel so much more magical and elevated the overall ambiance. Jalen wasn't just playing songs from a playlist, he was actively mixing the music all night long which kept the dance floor packed the entire time. The music flowed seamlessly from our ceremony, to cocktail hour, and through the reception, including our private last dance - it was just perfect.

My daughter recently got married in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 14th, 2024. She choose to have her reception in a tent on the lawn of the Eisenhower House. The venue was stunning and the woman at EH recommended Clockwork as we were looking for a local band with horns to play at the reception. We were not able to hear them in person, but all the video's posted online more than helped our decision making process and we quickly booked the band 20 months in advance, It was our second decision in the wedding process after the venue -with many, many more to come, but without a doubt - IT WAS THE BEST DECISION!!!! Booking was easy - we sent a check to reserve the date. the catalog of music they are capable of playing is extensive. But we had a tremendous comfort level with Clockwork New England as the contract states YOU GET THE EXACT MUSICIANS you see on all the website videos. There are no switches, or long lists of band members they slot in on any given day. Everyone we saw and loved are the people that showed up for our event. From start to finish - the band rocked the night away - the dance floor was never empty. They sang the bride and grooms song 'You are the Best Thing" and it was spectacular. And every song after that just got us up off our feet. The horns added so much - we keep hearing from friends asking us who they were, because they LOVED the music. The interactions with the crowd also made the night so memorable - and some of the best videos of the night. The band worked well together - and we just cannot say enough about how much they added to the party. Patrick joined a zoom call we had w our planner a week or so earlier than the event - and went over every detail - completely putting our minds at ease. 5 stars are NOT ENOUGH!! They truly made our event the best it could have possibly been! I want to do it again!
