Where do I even start? Marty is just the best. Planning a wedding by myself was very stressful. I am from a Persian background, and I wanted to have an American wedding while also implementing my culture. From the moment that I spoke with Marty, I knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He has a calming and reassuring energy that not only assured me we could get any type of music we like, but he helped me plan my entire timeline. Every single time I had a concern, he would have a solution. He used an app that allowed me to add the music I wanted, including Persian music. At our walk-through, he worked with our other vendors to make sure the layout was perfect for us on our wedding day. Then finally on the wedding day we got to see how great he really is. He was checking in and helping keep us on schedule. When we got to the dance floor he mixed Persian music with American songs so perfectly that there was not a single person sitting down. It was so awesome seeing all of my relatives and all of my husband’s family dance together. And there is no way this could have been possible without Marty Nightengale! Everybody loved him, and I would hire him again and again and again.

The Bunn DJ Company was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was super attentive - Mark, our primary DJ and MC, made sure to check in with us regularly in the months leading up to the big day to ensure we were on track with our timeline and all our music requests. On the day of, he was an absolute professional, arriving early to set up the perfect sound system and lighting that kept our guests dancing all night long. As our MC, Mark was engaging, fun, and made sure the night ran smoothly - he even checked in with me (the bride) a few times to make sure I was happy with how things were going, which I really appreciated.

Stylus S.E.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Carthage, NC

In Raleigh, Just like in Durham, Chapel Hill, and throughout North Carolina, once the guests arrive …the wedding DJ is the most consquential wedding vendor that you'll hire. The average wedding puts 75%-80% of their event in their DJ's hands. That's why, when it’s time to celebrate and have fun, you can relax and enjoy your event with Stylus! Entertainment is the single most important part of how your wedding will be remembered. If your wedding DJ isn’t getting everyone of all ages involved, from your friends to your parents and grandparents, then they’re probably not playing the right mix for you.

From the moment we reached out to Stylus S.E., we got incredible service from Jason and Spencer. They were clear, succinct, and prompt in their communication, making the entire planning process super easy and fun. Our DJ Spencer was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our reception was a proper party. It was so fun that my guests are still talking about it! The quality of their work was professional, high quality and worth every penny. All around, it was a 12/10 experience and we highly recommend Stylus S.E. for any couple looking for a top-notch wedding DJ. They are THE BEST WEDDING DJS IN RALEIGH.

I am DJ Joey B, owner of Joey’s DJ Service based in Durham, NC. I have been DJing professionally since 2005, with weddings as a major focus of my work. On your wedding day, I serve as both DJ and Master of Ceremonies, guiding the timeline, managing transitions, and keeping guests engaged from ceremony through the final song. I provide professional sound, wireless microphones, and clean lighting to support the full experience. Planning is clear and streamlined with an online portal for music selections, Do Not Play songs, and key details.

Awarded Best of Zola
Joey went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding DJ. The music was very important to my husband so he had curated pre-set playlist to give to Joey. Joey took my husbands playlist for the different parts of the day (pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, reception) and expounded on them! The vibes were high the whole day. However, not only did Joey keep the music and energy going, he was also very helpful as a wedding timeline keeper/coordinator. Genuinely, I think he was more helpful than my day of coordinator from a timeline perspective. To top everything off, his prices are more than fair. I would recommend Joey 10 out of 10 times!

Hi, I’m Stephen. I’m a professional wedding DJ and musician with a PhD in Music Composition. I help couples create weddings that feel fun, modern, and genuinely them. You won’t get a cookie-cutter playlist or a DJ who just presses play. You get a thoughtfully curated soundtrack that reflects your style, your people, and the energy you want at every moment. From the ceremony to the last song of the night, I focus on making your wedding feel welcoming, inclusive, and unforgettable. The goal is simple. You and your guests have the best time possible.

Honestly, I would love to be friends with Stephen Downing! I loved his vibe from the beginning, and my husband and I are so glad to have booked him for our wedding in November 2025! Stephen was easy to work with from the beginning. We had a quick phone call at the inception of planning to get a rough outline of what we were looking for. Stephen provided a handy shared document for us to brainstorm the ceremony and reception music from the start of the day to the end! I was a very DIY bride, so I’m so thankful that he shared this document with us early so that I could get to work! Not only did Stephen play our favorite tunes on the dance floor, but he also announced for our whole reception and provided the setup for our ceremony. His setup is impressive and made complete by some extremely fun dance floor lighting. Honestly, working with Stephen made my wedding planning a breeze. I didn’t have to think about the actual flow of the night at all. He has weddings down to a science, taking into consideration every part of the day to make sure the vibe is always right! If my husband and I could get married again, we would absolutely pick Stephen Downing! I wish our reception could have lasted forever. I’m still wishing to get back on that dance floor with all of our friends! Thank you, Stephen, for the most magical night!

After being in the music industry as a recording artist, working for many of the biggest DJ companies in Raleigh and being a morning show radio host in Raleigh for six years, I decided to create my own award winning wedding entertainment company where you can get personalized luxury DJ services. We now have over 85 amazing five star reviews on google from past brides and we’re fully insured.

Frankie was phenomenal!! The ceremony music, dance songs, and other important songs were exactly as we imagined! And everything flowed so smoothly from one dance to the next. The cocktail and dinner music was perfect and the dance floor was packed and overflowing all night, from the moment it opened to the very last song!! Frankie even brought the party right back when we had not one but two pauses in the dancing because the groom had lost his ring and there was a false alarm that it was found (he had taken it off to wash his hands). We heard all of our must plays that we knew would be big hits with our guests and also had some importance to us. Frankie knew exactly what to play for all the other songs and followed the crowds energy perfectly. I might be a little biased, but it was the most fun dance floor of any wedding I’ve ever been to. I could not recommend him more!!

It was meant to be for us to have Sam be the DJ at our nerdy chic wedding. On a sheer whim, we emailed him when it was clear our original plan of "oh we'll just make a few playlists" was absolutely not going to happen. Only 6 weeks out, and he was free on our date *and* had played the venue before! Fast-tracked our consult meetings, worked with us on our timeline for our very short ceremony and reception and overall had great tips and tricks. There were one or two moments during the wedding that were maybe hiccups (including me kicking the plugs out!) but he rolled with it, we rolled with it. He's so personable, everyone loved him - we're all transplants from NJ/ NY and turns out he's practically related to at least one of my family. For sure, would recommend him!

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.
