About this vendor

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.

I could have not picked a better DJ for our wedding! Shawn from Mixed up Djs was so flexible and accommodating in allowing me to change my music choices right up until the last moments. He provided his professional opinions on songs when I was stumped on which would be best to use. Most importantly he engaged with our guests and kept the dance floor packed the entire night playing songs that everyone could dance to. I would highly recommend Mixed Up DJs for your wedding or any venue at that!

I work for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and we have used DJ Shaun from Mixed Up DJs for multiple of our events. Every time he has been extremely professional, super energetic and fun. He goes out of his way to make sure every event he is at is the absolute best that it can be!

We hired Mixed Up DJs for our February wedding and not only was Shawn extremely helpful with helping with suggestions and walking us through all the different steps to make our wedding a success but the music and the lighting that day was above and beyond what we expected. He was great with getting the crowd involved and out on the dance floor and not to mention he was very reasonably priced. I would hire him again for sure and I would suggest him to anyone looking for a great dj!!!!

Mixed up djs did an amazing job. They donated their services for a benefit that was held for a local family whose son went missing. They did an absolutely amazing job. Never heard the word no come from their mouths. They even got out on the dance floor and danced and kept the crowd going! We honestly can't say enough great things about them. You won't be disappointed. Thank you mixed up DJ for a great night!!!

Shawn, dj my wedding in 2009. He was fantastic. Towards the end of the afternoon, the kids were getting a little resless, so he played a few younger songs and the kids were dancing. Everyone had a great time, and people who attended my wedding to this day talk about how awesome the music guy was.
