Our wedding was perfect for many reasons but Jeff went above and beyond for our event as our DJ. We didn’t give much direction as far as songs but Jeff was so intuitive to our crowd that every song made every guest get up out of their seat. Jeff is a pro and the compliments are still being received on the music for the event. Jeff was patient with the requests that came consecutively his way from our guests and he mixed those in seamlessly with the existing set. We could not be happier with the service and Jeff’s commitment to professionalism is second to none. Book Mystic River Entertainment for your next event, we are so glad we did.

Mercier Music Weddings and Events

  • Starts at $1,999
  • Serves Portland, CT

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 with Mercier Music Weddings and Events was the consummate professional for our wedding entertainment. His communication throughout the planning process was personal, prompt and respectful, making us feel like valued clients. The sound quality and song selection the day-of was excellent. Shane interacted with our guests and could read the room, knowing just when to transition the music from our first dance into the next activity. He kept the style of music going that appealed to all our guests, from young to old. Shane's ability to read the room and keep all age groups engaged really made for an interactive and fun reception. We were extremely pleased with Shane's services for our special day and highly recommend Mercier Music Weddings and Events.

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!

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

Just absolutely outstanding, every step of the way. We hired Ariana and her company to play music for our entire wedding (ceremony & reception). A string quartet and drummer. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Our guests were both surprised and filled with wonder at how the music fit seamlessly with the wedding: that's the beauty of the art and the professionalism that that Ariana String Groups brings. Ariana's group learned a new song especially for me, and it meant so much for me to hear it at the wedding (Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell). One of the incredible things about Ariana and her company is that they aren't just about the music: they help you every step of the way. We needed help and advice on many "things wedding" and Ariana not only helped us make decisions, but she and her team stepped up and coordinated when we needed help. Music is extremely important in my life, but I had some very specific requirements for the wedding because of my own needs. Ariana never hesitated - she was a true partner. It was a blessing to not have to worry about something I needed to go right. Fabulous.

Hiring DJ KDOT LIM (Kevin) was the best decision we made when going through the process of hiring our vendors. I am very particular about my music and it was a TOP priority that we worked with someone that understood our vibe, vision, and overall music selection for our big day. He was such a pro and knew what to ask for our venue's AV set up, music prep, and even attending rehearsal which was totally optional for him to join. Kevin understood everything from the timing of the music for the processional, and most importantly my big entrance down the aisle. When it was time to party, he spun all the tunes I requested and also went above and beyond to DJ the most FUN set ever!!! One of my highlights from the day was my husband and I dancing to one of our favorite house tracks that I didn't even request. He just had the perfect song queued up for the right time!!! I can't imagine what the day would have been without him. He had all our guests up and dancing including my parents and uncles and aunties. The vibes were immaculate!!! Above all, his personality is so kind and chill which is the kind of person you want to be working with for such a big life event. I cannot highly recommend him enough!

We could rave about DJ Thrilla all day long, but in the words of our wedding guests: “Best dance floor we’ve seen in a long time!” It’s been weeks since our wedding and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music was. Arthur did a great job with the ceremony and cocktail hour, and managed a tricky parent dance section (multiple sets of parents & timing!) We requested a Taylor Swift mashup and he exceeded expectations and made it the highlight of our night. The dance floor was always packed, and Arthur did a great job of taking into account our requests while playing music everyone would enjoy. We opted to use uplighting as well, which looked beautiful during dinner (we chose a warm lighting) and was so fun for the dance floor with flashing lights. By the end of the night, he even had guests asking him to travel to Texas to DJ their wedding! Booking DJ Thrilla was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend him more!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

DJ Pete was the BEST MC, he was just great, impeccable timing, communication and his positivity set the tone for the entire event. DJ Joe Rocco was equally great with reading the crowd - he had the dance floor packed all night, and we had a small wedding of about 75 people. They arrived on time, setup quickly and everything was seamless. So many guests came up to us after and asked who the DJs were and said they had never EVER been to a wedding with such great DJing. What a night to remember, thanks to Dash of Class!! Hire them!!!

We worked with DJ Shyne (Jeff) for our wedding and I cannot emphasize enough what a great experience we had. This is not your average/cookie cutter DJ experience. DJ Shyne is a true professional and our wedding music was completely customized to our vibes and preferences. He was very responsive and communicative every step of the way, helped us make a timeline for the day, and made sure he understood our vision, all while bringing so much creativity and enthusiasm to the whole experience. We received so many compliments from our guests, they could not stop raving about how great the DJ was and couldn’t stay off the dance floor, and we also received great feedback from our venue coordinator about how responsive and professional DJ Shyne was. As the bride and groom, some of our best memories from our wedding day are dancing together and hearing all our favorite songs. We highly recommend DJ Shyne for your wedding or special event!

We are grateful for Justin and his availability and attentiveness leading up to the wedding. He promptly responded to our inquiries, patiently addressed any concerns we had, and offered valuable insights based on his experience. We felt reassured and confident with him MCing our wedding. Vibrant entertainment, with their incredible talent served as the heartbeat of the evening.

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Everything about Pocket Change was a perfect addition to our wedding. Choosing our band was a major priority for us, as we know from experience they can make or break the reception. Pocket Change was everything we wanted, and more. From our first meeting with them, we felt comfortable and heard. They did a fantastic job of listening to our preferences and adapting that to what they were best at to deliver a great performance. They also did a great job of suggesting additions to our "must plays" that really went with the vibe we were looking for. Also, as a side note, the bride is a teacher, and we loved that Pocket Change is a band of music teachers! In addition to being absolutely perfect as a wedding band, they were also extremely affordable! We worked with some amazing vendors all around, but Pocket Change is the first review we're writing, because we really wanted to thank them for what they did to make our day special. We had a miscommunication with our venue about who was in charge of ceremony audio, and Pocket Change was able to jump in last minute to provide audio for the ceremony. They also let one of the bride's best friends join them on stage to sing Dancing Queen, which was so special for the bride and groom. There was a small issue with the wireless microphone during speeches, and their technician was able to jump in and solve it immediately! They were great at going with the flow and making situations that could have been stressful not at all. In almost every conversation we have had with guests since our wedding, someone has brought up what a great band they were. Hire Pocket Change - you will not be disappointed!!!

We could not be happier with our choice to use DJ Jason Mello for our wedding! Jay kept the dance floor full the entire wedding. It's like he was reading our minds. So many of our guests have said that it was the most fun they have had at a wedding. The ceremony was flawless and Jay played the perfect music throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and through dancing. I was so impressed with his timing and music transitions during our grand entrances to the reception as well. His Vibo app made it so easy to choose which songs we'd like to hear when, and Jay filled in the gaps so smoothly where we didn't have any specifics. He was so professional, responsive, and I felt reassured throughout the planning process that we had made the right choice. Jay, thank you so much for giving us the best party we could have asked for. I couldn't recommend Jason Mello more!!!
