Mercier Music Weddings

5.0

Mapleville, RI
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Essex, 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!

If you are looking for a fun, energetic, engaging, charismatic DJ, look no further. Shane is the one and only DJ you need on your list. When I first started looking for a DJ, I did not know what to look for. Obviously, good reviews but who knew there was so much else to consider, like type of vibe you want for your wedding/reception, type of music you want played for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. How much MCing there will be or will not be, someone who will listen to your every request. Shane checked off every, single, box. When Shane and I initially got in contact, we had a 45-minute phone consultation about the wants and needs of what my husband and I were looking for our reception. Shane new exactly the type of vibe we were looking for and was on the same page when it came to music choices for cocktail hour vs reception. He asked for us to send him 5 songs that we would want played at the reception during dance hours and he put a mix together with the songs so we could listen to how he transitioned them and kept the party flow going. We were immediately impressed and signed the contract with him the same day. Fast forward to a week or so before the reception, Shane sent us some forms to fill out with questions, must have songs and do not play song requests. When we met him at the reception venue on wedding day, he was there over an hour early to start setting up and when he was done putting all the equipment together, he changed into wedding attire to fit the dress code. Cocktail hour was soon underway, and Shane got the mood going with the music we asked for. Meanwhile, he walked around and got to know our guests, had a couple of appetizers, a beverage here and there, he even took some amazing video of the bride and groom (he should be a videographer on the side). We loved that he blended in and enjoyed himself, he got along with our friends and family as if he had been a lifelong friend. Once cocktail hour ended, Shane was there to keep our timeline moving with our first dance, mother and son dance, father and daughter dance, and we had a video we wanted played so he made sure to help set up the projector and connect to his sound system to ensure the whole crowd could hear. Shane did not miss a beat of what we needed all night long. He played all our must play songs and was sure to not play any of the songs on our do not play list. He kept the dance floor PACKED all night long, he even played 20 minutes after we were supposed to wrap up because so many people were having such a great time. I got compliments all night long from friends and family at how great the playlist of music was and how easy it was to stay on the dance floor the way Shane mixes his beats. We wanted a party and Shane delivered. We cannot thank Shane enough for providing us with an unforgettable evening.

Mystic River Entertainment

5.0

Gales Ferry, CT
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,000

Mystic River Entertainment is a creation from the minds of Jeff and Amy Erhart. Our shared passion of party planning, music, and helping others, was chemistry for what you see now. Based out of Gales Ferry, CT, Mystic River offers music entertainment services throughout New England. As a preferred vendor in several venues within Eastern Connecticut, it is no surprise that we have become a trusted name. Please check out our testimonials to hear what people are saying about us. You should feel comfortable to know that you are in good hands from the moment we meet.

Awarded Best of Zola
The most common piece of feedback I received from guests after our wedding reception was "The DJ/Music was amazing," and I could not agree more. Mystic River Entertainment exceeded our high expectations at every step of the process. This is a somewhat in-depth review, because that's what I wanted when looking for entertainment for our wedding. From the start, we were drawn to Jeff's wholesome personality and his passion for providing a specialized and top-notch entertainment experience for events. He took the time to learn about us; both our musical tastes/histories and our personalities. He let us know exactly how the rest of the process would unfold, sharing his expertise on things like the recommended length of certain dances and speeches. Though he happily shared his advice when asked, his first priority was always to support our vision for our wedding. Through Mystic River Entertainment's very straight-forward app, we were able to plug in all the songs we wanted to hear on our big day, from favorite slow dances to special must-plays (and even a couple "do-not-plays"). Between the app and communications with Jeff, we were able to communicate the exact vibe we wanted for our cocktail hour (we went with a rat-pack style), dinner (we blended in more contemporary tunes), and of course dance floor afterwards (more on that in a minute). We gave Jeff a small idea of what we were envisioning, and he completed and perfected that vision. He has a vast knowledge of all musical genres; I watched videos on Mystic River Entertainment's website of receptions in which the vision and vibe was totally different from ours, yet they nailed those vibes every bit as well. When my wife and I were preparing to go on for our first slow-dance, Jeff was a calming presence, walking us through exactly what he would say and exactly how it would all unfold. The dances and speeches went smoothly, and Jeff was even flexible with us when the best men (twin brothers) forgot to say a toast and wanted the mic back for a moment. From the moment the dance floor opened up to the moment the last song ended, it felt like an experience carefully crafted just for our musical tastes. Jeff knew that we had older family members that were big on disco-type music, and so he had plenty of tunes to get them moving. He knew the years my wife and I were in high school and college, and he put in crowd pleasers from those years that had all our friends singing and dancing like crazy. Some of the transitions he used between songs were so clever that they had the dance floor roaring with laughter and joy. One of my favorites was Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA" into Britney Spear's "Hit Me Baby One More Time." If you know the lyrics to the former, maybe you can guess how that transition went. I'm mentioning Jeff a lot because we happened to work with him the most, but he has other team members as well, and his assistant at our reception also did an amazing job. Mystic River elevated some of the most important moments of our wedding, moments we can't stop thinking back on. I give them the highest recommendation possible. If you are planning a wedding or event that needs a DJ, I would at the very least reach out to them to see if it feels like a good fit. In our experience, their process was low-stress, their prices were extremely fair, and they treated our special day with the care and attention to detail that the most special occasions deserve.

Dawson entertainment was an amazing DJ at our wedding. My husband and I had unique music requests (he loves metal, and hates pop music) and Jason was able to meet and exceed our expectations. The music during the reception was amazing. My husband and I spent the whole night dancing and singing and didn’t even get a chance to have own French fry bar. Dawson Entertainment also provided the music and sound for the ceremony and did amazing job with that. I highly recommend them for your wedding!

He came up with the idea of doing voiceovers to make the father and daughter dance and the husband and wife a little more special. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. He got everyone on the dance floor, the song selections were great. He listens to what couples want, he really spends time to get to know his clients before the event.

We booked Collins Entertainment for our October wedding at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, CT. We had an unbelievably amazing experience with this company from the top to the bottom. Our DJ, Jared, was exceptional with music selection, a master emcee, was accommodating and seemed to be everywhere at once. My guests left saying he was the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding for how many hits he put out. He was able to read the crowd really well, and knew how to get everyone on the dance floor. Jared had battery-powered setups for both the ceremony and reception, so we didn't have to worry about outlets in a remote area outdoors, which was very nice. Our planning sessions with Jim, Mitch, and Jared were comprehensive and they gave us all the tools we needed to succeed. The package price was very reasonable too, and was a leading factor for why we chose them as well. We used their mirror photo booth as well, which was very fun. The mirror booth even came with a long red carpet! The operator, Randall, was very accommodating and helpful with guests, making it fun and easy for everyone. We highly recommend Collins Entertainment!

Awarded Best of Zola
Business Time didn’t ask us to write a review, but we’re so excited to write one and want everyone considering booking them to know how amazing they are (understatement). They’re not a typical wedding band, and we knew their style and songs were the vibe we wanted. Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We had planned a 200 person wedding but had to pivot to 25 because of COVID. Mark and the guys were the kindest humans alive, accommodating us and being flexible with every phone call and change in plans. They never badgered us about making decisions, were super responsive, and went with the flow. We looked forward to every call with Mark. They made it so easy and it was one less thing for us to stress over during an already emotional year of planning. From the cocktail music to dinner music to the main performance, they were a huge reason the wedding was so fun and memorable. In fact, my husband and I (and our guests!) begged them to stay an hour past their scheduled stopping time - we were willing to pay whatever they wanted they were so good!! We just didn’t want the night to end. (For those wondering, they so kindly did and it was the best money we ever spent!) I literally lost half my voice that night and left the dance floor *maybe* once. Even days later all our guests are still raving about how amazing Business Time was. We legit would get married again just to have them perform again. SO FUN!!! Honestly more fun than a lot of concerts we’ve been to, and not just saying that because it was our wedding. Book them now before they get famous and on the cover of Rolling Stone! Thank you Business Time - your kindness and willingness to go the extra mile could make me cry (and actually has). You’ve now got the biggest fans from Chicago!! Anne & Johnny

Awarded Best of Zola
Believe it our not music was the MOST important thing to me as a bride. Ive had the privilege of working with Atmosphere Productions for many years now as I am a wedding photographer myself. One thing I always knew was, when I’d be working with Sam as a vendor, it would be a stress-free, well coordinated and energetic wedding. His pure love for music is infectious and even on the days when I was exhausted from working for 12 hours, you’d always catch me out on the dance floor if he was the dj. So when I choose him for my own wedding, it felt like a no-brainer. One thing I made clear up front is that a lot of our music might not be typical and that we wanted the music to literally be the soundtrack to the day through our eyes. Music has been a BIG part of our relationship and we wanted that to be part of our wedding just as much. When I worried that my choices in music might be too obscure or not even available- Sam assured me he had everything we choose and more. He understood the “feeling,” we wanted and simply took our suggestions and filled the rest with his picks which we loved since he is the expert! The preparation prior to the wedding was what surprised me the most. Being a wedding photographer I had NO idea what was involved for the DJ. This was very eye opening and Sam took the time to sporadically check in, throughly go through each step of the day and easily accommodated our not-so-traditional families. He asked questions and mapped things out so that by the time the day came I KNEW Sam had everything he needed and even when a couple things changed that day he took care of it like a rockstar. All the care, time and energy Sam provided for our day made him the best choice and his rates match his quality ten times over. Thank you so much Sam for sharing your talent with us and being part of the best day of our lives!

My friend hired and coordinated with Luis from lionizing entertainment as a DJ for our engagement party in July. It was our first time meeting him at the party and from the beginning he was professional and personable. He made sure we had the type of music we wanted and kept people dancing. We were so happy with his services so we decided to hire him to DJ our wedding this past weekend as well. We originally had a summer wedding planned and decided to move it up sooner. Luis was so flexible and understanding when we reached out about the date change and we were still able to work with him for our new date. Throughout the planning process Luis was super responsive whenever we needed anything and he would check in to make sure we didn’t have any questions and he was more than prepared for our big day. He kept the night running smoothly despite the changes we made to the schedule of events at the last minute. Throughout the night he checked in with us and advocated for everything we needed. Our other vendors came up to us and said how much they loved working with Luis and how easy it was to get along with him. We decided to add a photo booth at the last minute and we are so glad we did because all of our guests were obsessed! Everyone used it all night and we got to keep the high quality photos after. A ton of guests reached out after the fact to say how impressed they were with the Photo Booth and the quality of pictures they received. The Photo Booth was so much of a hit we are renting it for our baby shower coming up in the spring as well.

They were professional, thoughtful, responsive, and so helpful in planning what would ultimately be the highlight of the whole wedding!

With 13 years in business and four Top 3 Best of Hartford Wedding DJ Awards, this well rounded DJ has solidified her spot as a Top Wedding Professional in CT. She is ready collaborate and make your already special event even more epic!

Stephanie, aka DJ Stardust, DJed our wedding in June of 2023. Neither of us are huge music people, so we were looking for a DJ who could run with minimal direction, and Stephanie was exactly that! She was very organized and communicative leading up to the wedding day. She had a great form that we filled out with all the details you could possibly imagine in terms of songs we wanted/didn’t want/when, and she executed exactly as we expected. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were in three different rooms/spaces, and Stephanie seamlessly moved through providing appropriate music (and emceeing) at each. The one special thing we asked her to do was coordinate a “photo dash” (where everyone sitting at each table comes up to the dance floor for a group photo within the time limit of one song), and she did it very well. She accidentally skipped a table at one point, but rather than making a big deal about it, she joked about it and everyone laughed. The photo dash was one of the most talked-about things after our wedding. Something unique that our venue offered was the chance for DJs to plug into a high-end speaker system they had installed for a small fee. We asked Stephanie to do this, and at first she was hesitant because she didn’t want to be using equipment she wasn’t familiar with day-of (understandably!). Of her own volition, she reached out to our venue and coordinated a time where she could go see the equipment and practice setting up to make sure it would work with her equipment and just generally feel it out. We really appreciated her going above and beyond in this way, and the day of the wedding went off with no issues at all.

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

It’s impossible to properly convey how amazing it was to have The Hook Club as our wedding band. From start to finish, they were so great and fun to work with. We were initially stressing about the music at our wedding and as soon as we spoke to Dan and his team they immediately eased that stress with their openness, flexibility, and professionalism. Each component of our wedding, from ceremony to after party, wouldn’t have been nearly as incredible as it was without The Hook Club behind it. We genuinely could have and would have danced all night. We received so many next day texts we received from people praising the band and asking for their info. We truly can’t thank or recommend The Hook Club enough!
