Mixed Up DJs is a modern wedding DJ and MC service in Saco, ME, that focuses on one thing: giving you a fun, stress-free celebration that actually feels like you. I’m Shawn, the DJ behind Mixed Up DJs (also known as Mixed Up Entertainment). I’ve spent years behind the decks at weddings all over New England, blending smooth MC work with clean, creative mixes that keep the dance floor full without turning your night into a cheesy game show.
From the moment guests arrive to your last dance, I’m focused on flow. I’ll handle ceremony audio, cocktails, formal introductions, announcements, and dance sets so you don’t have to worry about what’s next. I read the room in real time, adjust on the fly, and keep things moving so your timeline feels natural—not rushed or awkward.
Music is fully personalized to you. You’ll get easy online planning tools where you can share your must-plays, do-not-plays, and special songs, plus a clear day-of timeline. Your guests can even request songs from their phones, so everyone feels part of the party while I make sure it all still sounds cohesive.
Lighting is a big part of what I do, too. From elegant uplighting and soft dinner ambiance to high-energy dance floor effects, I’ll design a look that matches the mood you want—romantic, classy, wild, or a bit of everything as the night goes on.
If you’re looking for a DJ who cares about the details, respects your vision, and knows how to keep people dancing without stealing the spotlight, I’d love to be part of your day.

Owner/DJ
Bringing the party to life since 2006, I started out DJing school dances and eventually found my niche in weddings. With a degree in Communications Technology and Entertainment Production, I combine high-quality sound, professional lighting, and nearly two decades of experience to help create a wedding that feels smooth, personal, and fun.
I’m confident on the mic, organized behind the scenes, and always paying attention to the flow of the night. From announcements and timing to music selection and keeping the dance floor moving, I focus on making sure things feel natural and stay on track without feeling forced.
I’m also big on the planning side. I like working closely with each couple to understand what they want, communicate clearly, and make sure the wedding feels like their wedding, not just another event. My goal is simple: make people happy and help them have fun.
Whether you’re planning an elegant reception, a packed dance floor, or a little of both, I bring the right mix of professionalism, personality, and experience to help make the night unforgettable.

floor stayed full. Recently, I attended my niece’s wedding and was thrilled to see Shawn was the DJ again… and once again, he knocked it out of the park. Consistent, professional, and truly talented. If you want a DJ who knows how to read the room and keep the celebration going, Shawn is your guy. Highly recommend!
