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!

My husband and I are avid wedding go-ers, so our expectations are always high. Know what we look forward to at each of these weddings? The DJ keeping us on the dance floor all night. The one where you’re at the bar ordering a drink and a song comes on and you run to the dance floor to bust it down. Well, Shane did just that PLUS some… four years ago, we met Shane at a Starbucks and it was “love at first song request” lol! We COVID eloped in 2020 and had our big vow ceremony on 10/1/22, so finally having Shane do his thing at our wedding was nothing short of amazing! He ensured all of my song requests, don’t-play requests & everything in between was played. He also managed to catch some sweet highlight video footage of some super memorable moments throughout the day. He came and visited me where I waited before the ceremony began and made me feel so comfortable and excited, some DJs don’t even come from behind their booths at a wedding. Shane is no longer just someone who worked at my wedding, but he’s now family. The guy dealt with all the craziness and partying from my friends and family that night and I couldn’t be any happier as to how everything went on our big day! I’m telling you, you won’t regret hiring Shane Mercier as your wedding DJ!

Lindsay Straw: Singer & Acoustic Guitarist

4.9

Somerville, MA
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $375
  • Serves Providence, 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.

For our outdoor beach wedding on the Cape, we knew we wanted music that would be simple and beautiful, and decided a solo singer with acoustic guitar would best fit the setting and atmosphere we wanted. We went with Lindsay based on her great reviews and could not have been happier with the experience - not only is she an amazing performer with a beautiful voice, she is a consummate professional who is organized, responsive, and attentive to all the details that go into making a wedding a success! We really appreciated her broad song list repertoire, that she had her own A/V equipment and setup options (she ended up bringing battery-powered speakers and two wireless mics for the outdoor beach ceremony where electrical outlets weren't available, which also meant amplifying the officiant / grooms was taken care of), that she took special requests and learned a song my mother-in-law wanted for the ceremony, and that she was also willing to perform some light emceeing / DJ duties during the reception to help move things along. Best of all, she went the extra mile and worked with me beforehand on providing accompaniment so I could serenade my husband as a surprise. The day of the wedding, she arrived early to make sure everything was set up properly, and we never had to worry about whether she knew her cues or where she had to be next, and things went off without a hitch! Several of our guests came up to us afterward to comment on how beautiful the music was during the ceremony and reception, and how calm and peaceful they felt hearing Lindsay's wonderful guitar-playing and singing on the beach. I can 't recommend working with her highly enough and am so grateful she was available to be part of our special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Thrilla (Arthur) was an incredible presence at our wedding. His energy and vibe is unmatched. I have been to over 15 weddings throughout my lifetime and our party could not be stopped. I (the bride) am Greek and the groom is Irish. DJ Thrilla was able to incorporate both Greek dancing music and classic wedding hits into the mix. The wedding guests were on the dance floor for a full 4 hours. It was truly a night to remember! OPA! He even sent us a 1 minute wedding video compiling multiple snippets of dancing from our special night. Hell of a bonus.

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.
