A Night to Remember DJ Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, their communication style was thorough, friendly, supportive, and respectful. The quality of their work and value they provided was simply awesome - they were exact, thoughtful, and on point throughout the entire event. They played all the songs that were important to us, and even asked us about song requests from our guests before seamlessly incorporating them. Additionally, the DJ read the crowd like a book, provided great MCing, and hosted our shoe game, which everyone loved. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ entertainment experience for our special day. Highly recommend A Night to Remember DJ Entertainment!

Sarah started playing harp for weddings in 2009 at the age of 14. She has loved playing at weddings, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and elopements ever since. She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Durham, 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.

Discoboxx 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Durham, NC

I started Discoboxx in 2022 to bring a more stylish and tasteful approach to weddings and events in North Carolina. For ten years, I was fortunate to help grow two of the biggest and most successful DJ collectives in Los Angeles, DJing hundreds of weddings and playing at the most stunning event venues and nightlife spots. When my family decided to move to Raleigh, I knew I would have the opportunity to create a new experience for clients in The Tar Heel State looking for something different. A wedding DJ company for couples not looking for a “wedding DJ.”

It's a real pleasure to photograph weddings where Discoboxx is the DJ because we know folks are going to be dancing. Ralph is an expert in catering music to his couples' tastes while also keeping the party going. He's kind, communicative, professional, and absolutely amazing at what he does. We recommend Discoboxx enthusiastically and often.

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!

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!

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.
