Beautiful music and a truly incredible vendor!

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.

This is your sign to book The Deoc Ensemble!

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!

Accommodating and Amazing!

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!

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.

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.
