Mixed Up DJs is a professional, insured wedding entertainment and MC service based in Saco, Maine, serving couples throughout New England. I’m Shawn Duross, and I bring 20 years of experience to creating celebrations that are fun, polished, and personal.
My goal is simple: to give you a stress-free celebration that genuinely feels like you. With personalized planning, clear communication, confident MCing, and clean, creative mixing, I keep the evening flowing naturally and bring the right energy to every moment.
From the moment your guests arrive to your last dance, I’m focused on flow. I’ll handle ceremony audio, cocktail hour, formal introductions, announcements, and dance sets so you don’t have to worry about what comes 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.
The 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, along with a clear day-of timeline. Your guests can even request songs from their phones, helping everyone feel like part of the celebration while I make sure the music still feels 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 can create a look that matches the mood you want—romantic, classy, energetic, or a little of everything as the night unfolds.
If you’re looking for someone 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.

Shawn Duross
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.
