Elegant Soiree Wedding DJs & Photobooths provided top-notch services to perfection for our wedding day. Extremely trustworthy, punctual, great at their job, and just great people overall on a personality level. We got married in Charlotte NC but Victor and his team are willing to travel to be part of your special day. It was a super hot summer day and we had him move to 4 locations for ceremony, cocktail hour, second ceremony, and reception (only indoor spot), and there was no lapse in music playing or delays. He conquered a tough challenge with that! Victor is extremely flexible to where the guest can create the entire playlist to their desire, or have no part in it and just relax and coast and let Victor do the work! The Photobooth addition is an absolute must-add, and really added another dimension for wedding guests, at an affordable price! We are so grateful that Elegant Soiree Wedding DJs & Photobooths were part of our special day. The photo attached is not me, it's a template sample of the photo strips we selected, but the database is huge so there's plenty selections!

Spontaneous Entertainment is the perfect solution for couples who REFUSE to settle for a boring wedding! You want a DJ, that actually mixes, to make your guests say "This is the most I've ever danced at a wedding!" We take the time to understand your vision and musical tastes, creating a unique soundtrack for you. Your wedding is a rare occasion to bring together family and friends of all ages, backgrounds, and tastes. This requires a professional DJ who can read the room, control the energy, and mix genres flawlessly – not just push buttons.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jermaine "Dj Spontaneous" was the Dj for our wedding. His tagline of no boring weddings fits exactly what you get from him. From his preparation prior to the wedding getting a sense of the attendee demographics to the day of execution Jermaine was phenomenal. EVERY one of my guest raved about how great the dj was and, how much fun they had dancing all night. He did what was almost impossible because of our faith and personal beliefs we had certain parameters for the music but not every attendee has those same views he pleased our younger guests, our older guest and everyone inbetween. I'm very thankful to have had him Dj our special day.

Mixology was started in 2017 when owner, Roman Brown, saw a need for more entertaining and energetic wedding DJ's in the Carolinas after moving from New York. Their goal is to help make your wedding night as special and fun as you'd imagined it would be.

Awarded Best of Zola
Putting into words how great Roman made our wedding night is impossible. We’re almost a week out and people are still talking about how great he was. Nobody left the dance floor, we ALL karaoked different songs. He played easy listening for dinner, transitioned to more pop style music then the real party stared. He played everything from Shania Twain to Biggie Smalls back to Journey. My husbands mother/daughter dance song was a stumper & he helped me pick Simple Man, my husband and his mom both cried. Roman also got some CRISP videos of us tearing up the dance floor and karaoking! He was more than 10/10! Will recommend him every single time to newlyweds. Roman, you’re a gem!

Enjoying all kinds of genres and venues, this DJ is open to any style of performance.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not words to describe how much we loved having DJ Krystyle perform at our Aug 2024 wedding. She was very responsive, communicative, and has a super easy online portal that helps capture every detail you could think of for the event music. She’s also a lovely human in general to work with. We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

I don’t have enough good things to say about DJ Obehi! As a professional dancer, obviously I’m a firm believer that the DJ can make or break a dance floor, and DJ Obehi absolutely MADE IT! Not only did he pick out music for our dance floor that was so specific and special to us, but he also was an amazing MC throughout the day. He absolutely brought the energy up! The whole process of booking with him was so smooth and easy, and he definitely has an amazing reputation out there - even the ABC license people had heard of him and told me he was the best and they were jealous! We even had a piñata at our wedding, and DJ Obehi was so game with our song and introducing it - he even threw me the bat! All of our guests absolutely LOVED Obehi. Hire him - you won’t regret it!
