Mercier Music Weddings

5.0

Mapleville, RI
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

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 is undeniably the best in the business! I knew we had to hire him from the second we met. The booking and planning process was a breeze. My husband’s family is Portuguese and we couldn’t believe how well Shane was able to read the crowd but also include the Portuguese music. He knew the best picks to play in addition to all the other recommendations he made and we loved. Shane reassured us everything would be amazing - and it was. Two days before the wedding, the venue changed the layout and plan but you would have never known with how Shane orchestrated such a seamless night. Shane has a true knack for gauging the crowd and knowing the best music to play - he really kept our party going all night!

Lindsay Straw: Singer & Acoustic Guitarist

4.9

Somerville, MA
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $375
  • Serves Bristol, RI

Mixing evocative Celtic songs with upbeat Americana folk and acoustic covers, Lindsay Straw delivers a soundtrack in a warm alto voice with intricate guitar and Irish bouzouki accompaniment. With over 250 weddings under her belt, she loves working with couples to provide the perfect folky playlist tailored to their tastes and needs. She provides her own sound gear and can accommodate new song requests. She's open to weddings all over New England.

We hired Lindsay and her whole band The Ivy Leaf for our wedding. They were amazing to work with and added so much to our event. Our wedding was very small and included many unique/unusual elements which we wanted to integrate with music. Lindsay was willing to have an additional meeting with us within the month before our wedding and review it all. Their music set the scene when our guests arrived, was an integral part of our ceremony and then provided half an hour of music for dancings—everything from traditional jigs to Beatles covers and they even learned our first dance song (for a small fee which was totally worth it). Reasons to hire them: • They are so talented and sound amazing! Their music brought a magical feel to our wedding! • They are very flexible and happy to customize the set list to what you envision, but they also have ideas and we totally trusted them to pick music for certain parts which they did perfectly. (That is to say if you have a specific idea of what you want they will happily do it, and if you have no idea you don't have to worry as they know what to do!) • They are young passionate musicians which shows in their music and presence. • Lindsay stays in great communication leading up to the event and lays out everything clearly. Planning with them was a breeze which is very important for brides! Bottom line--they were amazing and I can't even imagine having hired anyone else. If you want your ceremony or cocktail hour to have a magical atmosphere, hire them!

B-Sharp Entertainment / DJ Brendan Lafferty

5.0

Taunton, MA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Bristol, RI

There's nothing I love more than a great song, a dance floor, and a reason to celebrate. I've been involved with music for pretty much my entire life and the passion that I have for creating moments and memories through music is unmatched. I work personally with each of my couples to make their weddings amazing, and I'm fortunate that I get to do this each and every weekend.

Brendan knows how to keep the party going but is also one of the most professional folks I know. If you didn't know- Brendan also plays the piano AND can play any song after hearing it. So you not only get a DJ you get a keyboard player too. One of Brendan's best traits is that he keeps your timing on point, so he's not just keeping people on the dance floor, he's also making announcements at the right time. This is so important and often overlooked: I've worked with B-Sharp for over 13 years and every time I see him set up at a wedding I know that my couple is going to have an awesome night.

We hired Arthur to DJ our September 2023 wedding, and I can’t recommend him enough! He was very professional and organized and it made planning really easy and stress-free! He did such a great job gauging the crowd and played a variety of different music – all generations loved! I had a few specific song requests including some traditional Italian songs that he made sure to include. Guests were on the dance floor all night! I got so many comments during and after the wedding on how much fun guests had. The photobooth was also such a hit! I loved being able to get a copy of all the photos to look at with my husband after! He also included a free video reel of the wedding - it was such a nice touch! My husband and I love watching it ! I would definitely book DJ Thrilla for your next event !

My husband and I got married September 16th at St Clements. Let me just start off by saying, Collins goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. We had Jared as a DJ and a lot of people never left the dance floor (me being included). They made the night. Thank you so much! I promise, you won’t be disappointed with Collins.

Since then, the band has performed at hundreds and hundreds of concerts, weddings, festivals, parties, kids birthday parties, and various other kinds of family oriented events. We have an extensive songlist of over 300 songs, drawing from all styles of music, including traditional folk/bluegrass, as well as classic rock, pop, jazz and country. The band has also released 3 full length albums of original music, ranging from progressive bluegrass/newgrass instrumentals to goofy kids songs.

Awarded Best of Zola
All of our guests commented that the music at our wedding was lovely and really tied the whole event together. Our venue did not allow DJ's or amplified sound and Astrograss had no problem playing everything acoustically. They were really great communicating before our event. They learned 5 songs at our request and let us pick plenty others for them to play from their extensive repertoire. They even coordinated with our friend (who is a singer) who wanted to sing something for us which ended up being one of the highlights of the night.

Mass Bay DJ was fantastic! So communicative ahead of and during our wedding. Mike took all our preferences into account and followed through with all of our requests, including a last-minute decision to have a bouquet toss! He responded so well to the mood and energy of the crowd, and never let a song go on too long. We've gotten so many compliments since our wedding about how fun the music and dancing were.
