Sean, Grace, and the rest of the Deoc Ensemble group were without a doubt one of the highlights of our wedding. For starters, they were SO professional, great communicators throughout the entire planning process, and made it so easy to work with them from beginning to end. They were super flexible, honored our requests, and just really seem like incredible people. Our guests were amazed by them on the big day, and their playing really elevated the space and ambiance of the wedding. I could not recommend them more and I am SO thankful that I found them. If you're considering a string trio/quartet at your big event, you have to have them there, you absolutely won't regret it! If I could give 6 stars I would!!
The DEOC Ensemble played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we couldn’t be more thrilled they were apart of our wedding! The beautiful music added an elegant, personal touch to our special day. It truly made our wedding feel unique. Sean was a joy to work with throughout the planning process—he was incredibly responsive and accommodating and ensured every detail was exactly how we envisioned. Their talent, professionalism, and dedication to creating the perfect atmosphere exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend DEOC to anyone looking for stunning live music for their event!
We looked a duet (cellist and violinist) for our September wedding to play during the ceremony and cocktail hour and it was absolutely perfect. Sean was very responsive leading up to the wedding date and our two soloists showed up early day of to get set up and we’re very professional. The live music set the entire tone for our wedding ceremony and we received many compliments on the cocktail hour music as well. I highly recommend booking Deoc for your wedding!!
Any questions?
So many compliments for the Deoc Ensemble! They played all the songs that I had requested. Very easy and responsive to work with and they played with grace! Highly recommend!
My partner and I got married in June 2024 and absolutely loved working with Sean and his team! They were communicative, professional, and incredibly talented. Highly recommend working with this team!
I highly recommend Deoc Ensemble! We had them for cocktail hour and dinner music during our reception. Sean was very easy to work with and the ensemble was excellent. They play a variety of music, including a lot of pop songs which everyone really enjoyed! The music was absolutely beautiful.
There are not enough praises to sing about the Deoc Ensemble. As a wedding planner, I can be very picky with who I work with but the Deoc Ensemble is always a go to for me. Grace and Sean are kind, professional, and you can truly tell they love their job. So lucky I get to work beside them!
Had the DEOC Trio for my summer wedding and they were amazing! So many guests came up to me telling me they felt like they were in a movie. Sean and Grace were very professional and helpful leading up to the wedding. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Booked a violinist and cellist duet for our ceremony and cocktail hour and thought they did a fantastic job. They played beautiful music and I can’t recommend them enough.
We had an amazing experience with the Deoc Ensemble. We had them play during our outdoor ceremony and it was perfect. So many guests commented on how great they were and we would recommend them in a heartbeat. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and had an excellent music selection. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so great!!
We had a phenomenal experience with the Deoc ensemble for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From the planning leading up to the day all the way to the actual performance, we always felt like they knew exactly what to do and how to do it. They flawlessly played all the music we planned for and hit all the transitions without a hitch. If you want a string trio or quartet for your ceremony, this is the group for you!
I am a musician so naturally had high standards for the music part of our wedding. The trio was prepared, played flawlessly, and made our wedding day so special. They also communicated very well leading up to our big day and made the whole process so easy. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
Sean and Grace are the dream team! They cooperated with all of our extra requests, even rehearsing all the new music ahead of time to make sure it sounded perfect on our wedding day. They are professional, easy to work with, and so much fun!
We were so fortunate to have The Deoc Ensemble perform at our wedding! Over the years, we've heard them play at weddings, cocktail hours, and church performances, such as the annual Holy Season Concert at St. Mark, as well as following them on Facebook. The music they play is flawless, they are highly professional, and Grace and Sean run their business with the utmost integrity. Working with Deoc from the beginning of the process to the end was seamless. Their website is very easy to navigate and Grace responded to our questions in a very timely manner. We decided to have a violin and cello duet which was perfect for our venue. Choosing the repertoire was not as overwhelming as we feared. Grace helped us choose the perfect songs, even hiring a musician to arrange a song just for our ceremony. The flexibility of the musicians was outstanding. They played an extra long prelude as we were waiting for late guests to arrive. Also, the air conditioning was not working well, and they were in a fairly tight space, but the players had the most wonderful disposition throughout the entire ceremony, while playing so beautifully. We highly recommend the Deoc Ensemble and would hire them again for a special event.
After hearing DEOC play at another wedding, they were my fiancée's only 'must book' vendor. They were absolutely phenomenal throughout the planning process. Grace was timely, kind, and truly wanted to make our wedding reflect our vision through music. Their repertoire is vast and they even transposed some of our favorite and most meaningful songs so that they could be used in our ceremony. We got so many complements about DEOC and what they brought to our ceremony and wedding. Truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process was booking the DEOC Ensemble.
We absolutely LOVED having the Deoc Ensemble as a part of our wedding day. Having their music play during the ceremony and cocktail hour added such an elegance to the event, and so many guests commented on how much they loved it. They were extremely organized and easy to work with prior to the event, and they knew exactly what to do day-of.
The Deoc Ensemble has a very clear process and is helpful to make your music selections for both the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They played so beautifully and it really elevated our wedding day. Everyone is so friendly, professional and talented. They also have a very extensive catalog that helps you express who you are as a couple.
I loved working with Grace and I'm grateful to everyone in Deoc for helping to make my ceremony beautiful! Grace was always willing to hop on Zoom to talk and was so responsive via email. I loved their song choices and Grace helped me put together the perfect "playlist" that fit the vibe I was looking for. They have YouTube videos that let you listen to the songs before choosing them, which was SO helpful. Everything was beautiful with their touch to my ceremony and I would recommend them without any hesitation!
We used Deoc for our annual women’s event in Indianapolis, Flourish Indy. Communication and expectations set on our first call made for a seamless process. They were on time, so lovely to work with and played a beautiful set that had some of our guests in tears! Highly recommend.
Words cannot describe how thrilled I am to have hired Deoc Ensemble! Sean and Grace were easy to communicate with and we only hired a quartet for the ceremony. We got so many compliments on our big day and it was performed beautifully! I loved how they can do a personalized song request too! If you love love music for your wedding, this is your calling to hire this group! Thank you for being a part of our special day!
Grace and her team are excellent! They really set the tone for a beautiful wedding. Great and varied music selection.
We hired The Deoc Ensemble to play music for our ceremony and the cocktail hour and they were amazing. They made it so easy for us to pick songs and it sounded absolutely beautiful. I got so many compliments from people after about how great of a job they did and how the music was so good. It really helped to add a special touch to our day. They were so great and easy to work with during the wedding planning process and would quickly respond. 10/10 recommend hiring them for your wedding!!! They also have a huge list of songs that you can choose from, if you are wanting a song played, they probably have it on their list!
The Deoc Ensemble are not only talented and versatile musicians, but true event professionals who can adapt to fit the goals and needs of the event. The Indy airport has hired them twice in 2022 and plan to do so again in 2023. The first time we booked them, we were looking for some last-minute live music for guests during a particularly busy early morning in the terminal. Grace and the Deoc Ensemble team quickly coordinated a set list that would appeal to a broad audience. Despite the short notice, they exhibited professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity. We hired them again to play soundtracks and film scores for a movie-themed event. The event took place post-security requiring some complicated screening protocol. These security procedures can intimidate or frustrate some musicians but the Deoc Ensemble took it in stride. Cannot say enough positive things about Grace and the Deoc Ensemble team!
DEOC was so kind in comping their services for our annual Gala. They not only offered complimentary services without being prompted, but they also stepped in last minute to start playing earlier than we had originally discussed with no complaints! Our guests loved the added element and ambience they created and brought to our event, and we loved working with them.
Grace and the Deoc ensemble are absolutely wonderful. So talented and make everything sound beautiful. Very flexible and willing to help, not just with music but talk you through other ideas and related things too. Willing to advocate for you and good at making suggestions. They have a great repertoire list too. I highly recommend them and would hire them again!
I hired Deoc for a ribbon cutting for my employer. They were prompt, professional and talented. People were interacting with them asking for them to play requests. I would hire them again and again!
I had heard such great things about the Deoc Ensemble, so when I started planning my wedding, I knew I needed to book them right away. Grace and her team are so easy to work with and took time to make sure everything was perfect. They did an amazing job at the wedding and so many of my guests had great things to say about them. I highly recommend The Deoc Ensemble.
We are so happy we chose DEOC for our wedding! Grace met with us in advance to discuss song choices and helped us tailor our ceremony to be perfect for US... including a special song for our Canine Processional, when our dogs walked down the aisle! She made excellent recommendations, and the day of, the music was amazing. I highly recommend!
AMAZINGGGGGG. They are so good at what they do and just sound so beautiful. Thank you for making our ceremony and cocktail hour everything we dreamed of!!
What a phenomenal vendor to work with! Going into our wedding, we knew that were were going to have a short ceremony; so, we wanted to add in some extra details that would make it extra special and Deoc Ensemble was it. The trio was extremely professional and timely. We allowed them to pick whatever classical songs they felt fit the vibe of the wedding as guest found their seats. Everyone raved about how great the trio sounded. What made it extra special is that the trio played a requested song that was not on their song list. It turned out beautiful. I really appreciate the group going above and beyond to fit our wants!
We hired Deoc for my parents 60th wedding anniversary ceremony/celebration. They were absolutely fantastic to work with. They helped us plan the flow of the ceremony, select music and their music was simply divine! They added so much class and beauty to our event. We are grateful!
The Deoc Ensemble is hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. First, since the beginning, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were fun, patient, and easy to communicate with. Second, they are INSANELY GOOD!!! Every song we requested was played so well and they have an incredible playlist. You have to choose this quartet! Lastly, have them play during dinner! We only chose 30 minutes and even though it felt short, it was incredible!!! Thank you for everything!! HIRE THEM ASAP!
Easy to work with and real professionals- received lots of compliments!
The DEOC Ensemble made our wedding a ton of fun! The team was super easy to work with both leading up to the wedding as well as the day of. The ensemble played both the ceremony as well as a cocktail hour, and our guests were still talking about them the next day! I was particularly impressed that the new songs we requested (for an upcharge) were played just as well as any on their existing repertoire. Highly, highly recommend!
Professional, friendly, and responsive. They were able to perform a piece for us that was not in their repertoire in what seemed to me as short notice. I was impressed! They were a beautiful addition to the ceremony and cocktail hour and so happy we had them!
DEOC played at our ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful! They were so easy to work with as well! I would recommend to anyone looking for an ensemble group!
The Deoc Ensemble played at our church, St. Elizabeth Seton, for Midnight Mass this year and last year. They were such a joy to work with! Always prepared, and beautiful playing combined with positive attitudes and professionalism. I would recommend this ensemble to anyone.
The Deoc Ensemble was an amazing part of our wedding day! They supplied the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were so easy to work - especially when we were forced to not only change our original wedding date due to COVID but we also had a last minute change in venue! Their music is absolutely beautiful and made our day even more special. I highly recommend The Deoc Ensemble!
Grace’s music was such a beautiful addition to our wedding! She is so incredible and very easy to work with. The music made our day even more special than I could have imagined.
The Deoc Ensemble was absolutely amazing to have at our wedding! We worked with Grace on making the song selections and she was very helpful with suggestions! I couldn’t imagine our wedding day without them!
Highly recommend!
An absolute staple for our wedding day! Grace was fantastic and helped us through every detail so that our ceremony music was sheer perfection. This added such a special touch and we’ve recommended The Deoc Ensemble to many of our family and friends!
Many thanks to the DEOC Ensemble for playing at our wedding ceremony. The music was so beautiful! We received so many glowing remarks about the music. Your talent and passion shine through to all who hear you play! We also appreciate all of your assistance with music selection during the planning stage. It was a day to remember!
The Deoc Ensemble did absolutely amazing at our wedding. We had the quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Sean was great to work and coordinate with. Everyone was so impressed with them! Thank you guys so much for your professionalism.
The Deoc Ensemble trio provided beautiful music for our outdoor wedding ceremony and were key in setting the mood for the afternoon/evening. I would highly recommend them for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour. Grace and Sean were extremely pleasant to work with!
The Deoc Ensemble are very talented musicians that did a wonderful job at my daughters wedding, we had many compliments from the guests. They were also very easy to work with during the planning stage. Thank you Deoc for helping to make the day so special!!
The Deoc Ensemble was so flexible and very responsive for my wedding. I wanted the ensemble to take turns playing along with our church organist and they were very flexible in being able to do that and their music was beautiful. I highly recommend them if you are looking on a budget but want some outstanding musicians! My husband and I are huge music nerds as we are both musicians ourselves so this was a very important decision for us. So thankful I chose them for my special day.
The Deoc Ensemble was an incredible addition to our day. The team was responsive and very easy to communicate with. I was so happy with our choice to have a string quartet play for our ceremony and cocktail hour - it made our day so special. Thank you Deoc Ensemble!
Everyone was super helpful and very responsive before our wedding and the music that was played was absolutely stunning. By far one of the best parts of our entire wedding. 10/10 100% recommend!!!
DEOC Ensemble was a dream to work with. Very easy planning process, great communication, and the music was absolutely beautiful. Our wedding coordinator recommended them to us and I'm so happy she did!
The DEOC ensemble was a great choice! They were very helpful in making choices for the arrangement music for the ceremony.
You were awesome! Very nice, professional, safe, reasonably priced and so well played. Thank you for your time and dedication and skills!
Deoc Ensemble were wonderful!! We hired them last minute because of a postponement, and they made everything an absolute breeze to plan! We highly highly recommend! They did a fantastic job.
Having The Deoc Ensemble play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was truly a highlight of the entire day! The music was incredible, and it was a dream come true to have live string music during our special day. Working with them was also so easy and relaxed. Grace was the first wedding vendor we had met with back in February, and even though the world has changed dramatically since then due to COVID-19, we still felt so supported by Grace and her Deoc team throughout the process--planning with them stayed super stress free despite all of the changes to state and local regulations. They are the best to work with, and I would recommend them over and over!
They were the best people to work with! So many songs ready to go and we requested a song that was not on the list kind of last minute and they had no problems learning it!! I love how easy and stress free it was working with them.
My daughter hired this ensemble and they were fantastic. They preformed for the ceremony and cocktail hour and we were all very happy with the quality of their work and flexibility with the stress of a wedding now with COVID.
The Deoc Ensemble is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, our time working with them has been an absolute joy! They took our hopes and made them realities. I want to have another event solely so that I can hear them play again! They learned our favorite songs, and were so kind and flexible during all of the ups and downs of the pandemic. The Deoc Ensemble is the best thing you can add to your wedding. They were an absolute delight, and our day wouldn't have been the same without them!
We highly recommend DEOC. Grace was our contact and she communicated with us frequently to insure that the music we selected would be exactly what we wanted. She worked with our pastor to understand when and what cues would be given to during the service so the music began at the appropriate times. Their list of musical selections is extensive. A professional and talented group of musicians.
DEOC went above and beyond to make sure our wedding ceremony had perfect music. They took every precaution due to COVID and it made out guests feel so comfortable. The music was very modern and we even had our own arrangement of a song included. Well worth the money and easy to work with!
We were thrilled with the Deoc Ensemble's performance at our wedding. Grace was professional and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this group!
Wow, I truly cannot say enough great things about The Deoc Ensemble! Professional, kind, and detail-oriented. You can tell that this group truly takes pride in their work! From our very first meeting, Grace did an amazing job of sending me song suggestions and helping me develop my vision for our wedding ceremony. They even learned a new piece when the song I requested was not part of their current repertoire. They performed beautifully on the day of our wedding, and afterwards our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed the ceremony music! Thank you for everything! We would absolutely recommend The Deoc Ensemble to anyone wanting beautiful music for their personal or professional event.
We loved having the DEOC Ensemble play at our May 2019 wedding in Indy at the Scottish Rite. Our wedding included a pre-wedding and post-wedding cocktail hour that created a little more complex wedding timeline. However, Grace was excited, responsive, and flexible. She worked to accommodate our unique schedule. The group was ontime, played beautifully and were professional. I would highly recommend this group for any event!
We love Deoc! Everything from start to finish was flawless. Grace was amazing to work with, and the quartet that played for our ceremony and cocktail hour really made the occasion special. Couldn’t recommend more!
I have nothing but great things to say about the Deoc Ensemble! They are professional, timely, fairly priced, and do an absolute wonderful job with their performance. It was the perfect touch to our wedding and we couldn’t be more happy with our decision to book the violin and cello duet. They have both modern and classic music selections available. If you are planning a formal event or wedding this is truly a must have!
Professional, quick to respond, and incredibly talented at what they do! We were very happy that we splurged a little and had live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I would highly recommend The Deoc Ensemble to any bride!
They sounded absolutely beautiful, were incredibly flexible, professional, and personable, and their musical abilities are unreal. You can't go wrong with them!
The Deoc Ensemble was Exactly what we wanted for our wedding ceremony at the Ambassador House!! They were Amazing to work with especially Haley! They provided a variety of music to select from or they were open to your own unique, personal selections. Everything you'd want a stringed ensemble to be! We highly recommend them!!
We couldn't be happier with Deoc Ensemble! They had a great variety of music to choose from and will do one custom arrangement for a must have song. Grace was fun and easy to work with and helped us work through their list to create a perfect ceremony selections from start to finish. Every member of the ensemble was extremely talented and played beautifully. If you want instrumental music played at your ceremony, you won't regret booking these guys!
Upfront: I love being able to work with people directly over email, and my communication with Grace was 100% that, and it was wonderful.
Grace was able to provide information on different instrument options, duets vs trios, their repertoires, etc. and we were able to do it all in the same email thread, which made it much more organized for me!
Grace was super helpful when it came to song selections, and because of her, I think that we had a pretty awesome lineup of songs for the ceremony!
I ended up hiring a duet (cello + violin) for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Everyone was dressed exactly as you'd want for a wedding, on time, basically just everything you'd hope for.
Definitely recommend!
The Deoc Ensemble was wonderful to work with. I kept going back and forth on doing live music for our ceremony and I'm so glad I did. I also chose to have them perform for the cocktail hour and everyone raved about it! Grace was very helpful and knowledgeable on guiding me for our song selections.
We cannot give enough compliments to say how grateful we are for Grace and The Deoc Ensemble!! Grace is so passionate about her music and it really shows!!! She assisted us with our song choices and couldn't have done a better job! We wanted our ceremony music to be light and romantic and that is exactly what we got! I still get chills when I think back to our ceremony! The Deoc Ensemble was the perfect addition to our wedding!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/12/2019
Wow, Jill! We're so thrilled to hear how wonderful your experience was with our ensemble! We had so much fun getting to know you and Matt through the planning process and LOVED playing for your ceremony! Congratulations again!
If you're looking to add an elegant, classic, and timeless touch to your wedding ceremony, book Deoc Ensemble! Grace was fabulous to work with, and even partnered with our catholic church's music director to make sure they were on the same page with all the music selections I made. I knew which pieces I wanted but she gave great recommendations for timing, cues, and what worked best for the moment. I did not worry one ounce about them on the day of the wedding, as they were professional and played beautifully. All of our guests said the trio was a lovely element in our the ceremony. I'm very grateful and recommend Deoc in a heartbeat to any Indianapolis bride.
Response from the Vendor on 01/15/2019
WOW! Ali, thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means the world to us. We love our jobs and always want to make sure we're doing the best we can for our awesome clients. Thank you for letting us know that we succeeded in that goal for...
your wedding! :)
We booked the Deoc Ensemble for our wedding ceremony at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Indianapolis. They play beautifully and are an absolute pleasure to work with--very responsive to any requests and questions you may have. The church has a specific list of songs that they were allowed to play and this was no problem for the planning process, as they were able to provide a comprehensive list of songs they had played at our ceremony venue. No complaints, highly recommended!
Response from the Vendor on 01/15/2019
Thank you so much, Hannah! It was a joy to play for you, especially your special requests! We love bringing our clients' visions to life!
Do yourself a favor and book the Deoc Ensemble right now! Grace is amazing and a joy to work with, even when I was freaking out over last minute details. 10/10 would recommend them! Music was beautiful and added the perfect touch to the ceremony.
Response from the Vendor on 12/28/2018
Thank you so much, Alise! We loved playing for your wedding - the thought you put into the pieces that you chose clearly showed during the ceremony when each moment felt perfectly accompanied. Congratulations to you and Joe!
They were amazing to work with and a great help during the process! I highly recommend them, they sounded amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2018
Thank you so much, Anna! It was so much fun being a part of your wedding day. Thanks for letting us be a part of such a beautiful ceremony!
If you are considering hiring live music for you wedding or event you must use The Deoc Ensemble! We were not planning on having live music at our wedding. But after meeting Grace and her team at a vendor event and seeing how excited they were about our wishes to have non-traditional music at our ceremony, we knew we needed to book them. Grace was so amazing to work with. Even through her process of moving houses, she was attentive and stayed in contact with us to make sure we were completely happy with the music choices providing us with a very large and diverse selection of musical offerings. As my husband and I had been together almost 12 years before getting married, I walked down the isle to a fitting "A Thousand Years" and it was so beautifully done. And walking away as husband and wife to "You Make My Dreams Come True" couldn't have been any more perfect. My husband and I received so many comments from our guests that our music was so on point for our Upscale Music Festival themed wedding and it would not have been possible without Grace and her amazing team!! If you have not booked them yet, DO IT NOW you will not regret it!
Response from the Vendor on 01/15/2019

g us to be a part of such a meaningful day. :)
Deoc Ensemble played at my ceremony and our cocktail hour. They were amazing!!!! Grace, one of the founders, was so easy to work with. She helped give suggestions when needed and was able to make my special requests become a reality. I couldn't have dreamed of more beautiful music to play as I walked down the aisle. They were absolutely amazing!!! Will not disappoint!!!! Thank you, Deoc Ensemble!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2018
Thank you so much, Kathryn! It was a joy taking "You Raise Me Up" from just a dream to a reality for your wedding day! We had so much fun getting to know you through the planning process!
I can't even begin to count the number of compliments I received about The Deoc Ensemble's performance at my wedding ceremony. It was absolutely worth the money, the owner Grace is fantastic to work with, and it really made the ceremony more classy and intimate. I found out about them from their performance at my sister-in-law's wedding where I fell in love with their sound, and they 100% lived up to my hopes and expectations for my own big day.
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2018
Wow, thank you so much, Crystal! It makes our day to hear how much of a difference live music made for your wedding! Congratulations again to you and Sam!
The Deoc Ensemble is absolutely the best wedding music I have heard. I am so happy that they were able to play for my Lake Wawasee wedding. Grace is one of the kindest people you will ever work with. Their repertoire list is extensive and varied and they are also able to work with you on custom requests. They created the perfect atmosphere on our wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 09/25/2018
Thank you so much, Kirstin! It was a joy to play for such a gorgeous ceremony!! So many congratulations to you and Ben!
The Deoc Ensemble was wonderful to work with! Grace spent lots of time guiding us through the music selection. She also helped in reviewing our outdoor ceremony space and determined the best place for the musicians. The Deoc Ensemble made our ceremony memorable for us and our guests. We got lots of compliments on the music.
Response from the Vendor on 09/17/2018
Thank you for your kind words, Linna! We had so much fun getting together with you and Caleb - we're so glad you invited Grace to tour your wedding site in person so you could brainstorm placement together. It worked out perfectly! Congratulati...
ons again on your marriage!
Grace’s music was such a beautiful addition to our wedding! Not only was I thrilled with the music but she also travelled all the way from Indianapolis to Joplin, Missouri to play for us. She is so incredible and made our day even more special than I could have imagined.
Response from the Vendor on 08/21/2018
Thank you so much for welcoming us into such a meaningful day for you and Will, Grace!! We had the best time road tripping it out to Missouri!
Grace and her crew are unbelievable! When my husband said he wanted live music for the ceremony I thought it would be so extra and unnecessary. Well, let me tell you, I was DEAD WRONG. It was beautiful. I couldn't imagine walking down the aisle any other way. Seeing him while hearing "Can't help falling in love with you" was perfect. Thank you guys for a great ceremony. We had so many compliments on how beautiful you sounded! We highly recommend!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/13/2018
WOW!!! Thank you so much, Felicia! It was truly such a pleasure to get to play for you and Kierston! Please keep in touch - we would love to see you again soon!
DEOC Ensemble was fantastic - fantastic to work with and fantastic the day of. I'll never forget when we walked down the aisle for our Recessional to "All You Need is Love" -- a moment I'll treasure forever! :)
Response from the Vendor on 06/01/2018
Thank you, Jenny! It was our pleasure to get to be a part of such a special day for you!
Book them right now. Seriously, the Deoc Ensemble is incredible, and the owner, Grace, goes above and beyond to make sure they are creating the atmosphere you've always dreamed of. Many of the guests stated that the beauty of the music brought them to tears as it perfectly complemented the beauty of the ceremony. Not only is the music moving, but they are so easy to work with. Grace is a great communicator and helped this indecisive bride select songs that perfectly represented our wedding and our relationship. One of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2018
Michaela, it made our day to hear how much live music brought to your wedding! It was our pleasure to help you through the planning process and brainstorm on music choices together. Thank you for allowing our ensemble to be a part of such an im...
portant day in your and Evan's lives!
We were so impressed with this group! Incredible talent for an affordable price! They played a beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” for our wedding procession. Grace was very kind and accommodating. Wonderful to work with. Would 100% recommend for your special events!
The Deoc Ensemble was the perfect addition to our day! My husband and I so enjoyed customizing our ceremony with meaningful songs from our relationship. The Deoc Ensemble was punctual, professional, and breathtakingly talented. Guests from our wedding still comment on our ceremony, and the atmosphere created by their beautiful music. I personally met with the owner, Grace, a few months before our wedding day and was impressed by her repertoire of songs and wide range of experiences with formal performances. She provided thoughtful input based upon my initial ideas, and even went above and beyond by pulling out her cello to play a song for me during our consultation! At her suggestion , I chose that same song to walk down the aisle to! I can’t recommend The Deoc Ensemble enough to other brides and grooms out there, and have now attended several friends’ weddings that have featured the group. Their talent is just as lovely from the audience. :) The Deoc Ensemble will be the highlight of your special day— trust me!
This group played for my wedding and cocktail hour. They not only played all of the songs that I requested, but also met with my wedding singer and practiced her song with her as well. I cannot recommend this group enough. They will make your day special and upscale.

Grace Meier
Co-Owner, Cellist
Grace Meier studied Music Education, Elementary Education, and Special Education at Indiana University, graduating in 2015 after 3 semesters of student teaching in urban Indianapolis public schools. Following two years of teaching Special Education, she made the hard decision to leave the world of education and dedicate fully to The Deoc Ensemble. Although Grace misses her students, working for Deoc is truly a dream come true!
Although she began her musical studies on the violin, Grace began playing the cello at the age of nine under the instruction of Dona Vellek Klein. During her high school years, Grace performed with the New World Symphony Orchestras and studied with Ingrid Fischer-Bellman. In addition, she performed as a soloist at The Palladium in Carmel, Indiana. While at the Jacobs School of Music, Grace continued her training in the Starker method as she studied with Benjamin Karp and Adriana Contino.
When she is not performing, Grace loves spending time with her husband and son. Her passions include hiking, spending time in her community of Speedway, and reading.
