    We can't thank Dustin enough for the best wedding ever! He did an absolutely amazing job mixing the music with our list, guest requests, and traditional wedding reception songs. He managed to keep the flow perfect and was super adaptable with the weather (we had a torrential downpour in the middle of the reception). They also worked incredibly well with our schedule since we planned our wedding all the way from VA and had it in PA. I also definitely appreciated Mary for being able to communicate with me on my schedule since I worked overnights. We highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Dustin and Merry Laurel Weddings if anyone is looking to work with a wonderful company and great people. Thank you guys so much!!!

    Honestly we could not have found a better Dj for our wedding. Josh was excellent and he knew exactly what to play. We had mostly older music picked out because we have more older people on our guest list than we had young but the music we picked out really didn't go well and he completely turned it around. I didn't have to worry about a thing with him and he always played the appropriate music. Everything was fantastic and you definitely get more than what you pay for. It was worth every penny.

    We had Josh from Merry Laurel. He did a great job!! He did a wonderful job mixing up the music for my country family and my husbands friends from New York. I made it clear I wanted the reception to be a huge party and that's exactly what it was! He also did a fabulous job with my ceremony music and provided a mic to my officiant plus for my toasts. He kept the night going with his awesome energy and even got out on the dance floor with us! None of us remembered how to do The Wobble (it had been a while and it was a long day lol) and he led the whole group in doing it! He constantly checked in with me throughout the night to make sure I was happy! Overall we had a great experience!!

    Mike was the DJ for our wedding and he was AWESOME. He was extremely thorough and went through all of our songs and the reception plan with me the week before the wedding. Additionally, Merry Laurel helped us pick out songs for our reception such as the cocktail hour songs and dinner music. Mike played everything we asked for and kept us on schedule perfectly. He even took late night requests when it was time to leave because we wanted to hear couple more songs. I have already recommended Merry Laurel and will continue to do so. Thanks!!

    Steven was absolutely wonderfully the whole way through our planning process. He helped keep me on target and the planning process was so easy! We danced 3 hours past our original time limit courtesy of Steven and his awesome DJ'ing. He was also able to provide up lighting to really make our reception pop. I would recommend Merry Laurel to anyone!

    The owner was great. He had great ideas and made it easy to select and organize our wedding songs. He offered discounts and the DJ was very professional. They followed all my instructions and requirements. The equipment was classy and fit in with the wedding decor.

    Mike did a wonderful job with event coordination and overall presence during our reception! We had 2 bands as the main entertainment and Mike DJ'ed during dinner, did all of our announcements, and played late night music. Mike also coordinated with the bands for intermission music and kept the events rolling throughout the night. He made it his personal responsibility to make sure our night went just as we planed. Great job Mike and Merry Laurel!

    Steve did an awesome job at our wedding! I had made a slideshow of pictures of my husband and I for our guests to watch and the projector didn't work. Steve was very willing to help fix the problem, even though he wasn't expected to take care of the slideshow! I'm so glad he was there. He did an awesome job keeping the reception moving. Music was great and it was a perfect night!

    MerryLaurel fulfilled all of our expectations - in addition to gladly fulfilling a rather long request list, Steve was a great MC and worked well with our caterers when little things came up during the day. He was really flexible, positive, and helped make our day great! They are also a good value. I would recommend MerryLaurel to anyone!

    Our wedding DJ provided a fantastic experience for our guests! He responded to emails in a timely manner and provided a lot of very helpful suggestions. He met us at the entrance of the venue to quickly review the entrance plan for our bridal party which took the pressure off of us to do. He also did everything we asked and stuck to the playlist and don't play list. He had an expansive list of songs to chose from and added all songs we requested that he did not have. Overall our experience with Merry Laurel was fabulous. We had only compliments from our guests regarding the music and song choices that our DJ chose.

    I cannot say enough good things about Merry Laurel Wedding. Steve and Mike were, by far, the easiest vendors we worked with. So many of our guests have told me that our wedding was the most fun they've ever attended, and a huge part of that is due to the music. Mike was so great about keeping everything organized and flowing smoothly, and fielding dozens of requests from our guests. The entire process was very well-organized and professional. I enthusiastically recommend Merry Laurel to everyone and anyone!

    We booked Josh from Merry Laurel as our DJ. He was the best!!!!!! We had a brunch wedding that started at 10am and the dance floor was never empty.

    There was some confusion when he arrived about moving from the ceremony area to the reception area. I freaked out a little bit over the miscommunication at first but Josh handled it with ease and solved the issue without missing a beat.
    We left the playlist totally up to him and he killed it! He had my 79 year old grandmother on the floor dancing to rap music.
    Josh joined us on the dance floor for a good portion of the evening and even stayed longer than the contract indicated.
    There's no question in my mind that this was the best DJ we could have had.

    My husband and I were very impressed with how everything was handled and organized prior to and at our wedding. We have received so many compliments from friends about our music selection and the ability of our DJ, Mike, to keep the party going.

    For $1,100 I expected more. I spoke with my DJ, Dustin, at 9 A.M. the morning of my wedding day as I was in the middle of my hair and makeup appointments. The owner told me he would call the Thursday evening before to talk about the details of the reception, and then that turned to Friday evening, which turned into Saturday morning. I’m a planner, so working on things last minute is not how I choose to function.
    Dustin greeted me upon arriving at the reception to talk about the bridal party entrance, at which time I was having dress complications and was preoccupied, in addition to stress and nerves. My brother-in-law ended up having to help with the music as Dustin was at the main entrance confirming names with the bridal party before they made their entrance.
    The songs I supplied were played, but the order could have flowed better to help keep people on the dance floor. At the end of the night, all that remained were my siblings, parents, and a few close friends; an open bar definitely helped.
    Dustin was flexible in that he was happy to start the reception an hour early to accommodate an unexpected shorter ceremony at the church; for that I was grateful. The uplighting was pretty cool, and I was provided a $200 discount since the reception was held in St. Marys. Since my contract only included 6 hours of music, I ended up paying an additional $100 for an extra hour.
    Both of my sisters used Merry Laurel’s DJ services when the company was owned by Steve Leuschel. I will say, it seems like the quality has dropped since ownership changed in 2018. I had no problem getting a hold of someone when it came to paying invoices, but in terms of being in contact with my DJ for the actual reception, the most important part, there is much room for improvement.
    Compared to other DJs, Merry Laurel was on the pricier end, but we needed a DJ and literally all our other options were already booked, aside from paying $2200 for a professional DJ from Pittsburgh.
