Marty is the best!

Marty Nightengale - DJ. MC. Entertainer. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, his communication style was easy, experienced, and caring. Marty went above and beyond to ensure our day was fun, professional, and top-tier. He was great at getting the crowd going and dancing, and made sure to cater to all our requests and expectations, including playing the Shout song which was a special nod to my love of the Buffalo Bills. Marty was wonderful to work with and truly helped make our wedding day memorable. I highly recommend booking Marty for any event - you'll be lucky to have him!
Excellent Wedding DJ!!

Marty made our wedding such a breeze! He set up short zoom meetings with us a few months in advance and tocuhed on topics that I didn't even know I needed to consider! He made us feel like things were very under control and he handled everything! His software for selecting music leading up to the event was very user friendly. The day of the event he made sure everything went smoothly and stayed in the background unless we needed him! He's such a nice and caring person and really goes above and beyond to make your event PERFECT! Thank you, Marty! We couldn't have done this without you!! -Z&M
Truly the best!

My now-husband and I were super skeptical about hiring a DJ, but we decided to go with Marty and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His skill, professionalism, and dedication to his craft is clear. He made everything (setup, flow, audio support) so easy on us and was willing to accommodate all of our requests. Sometimes DJs bring their own taste and egos to the table, but that’s not Marty at all. He took our vibes, requests, and existing playlists and turned them into the best reception we could have asked for. Our friends could not believe how great he was from start to finish. If you’re looking for a DJ, he is your guy!
Professional, Pragmatic, Perfect!

Aside from marrying my best friend, Marty was my favorite part of our wedding. Music is very important to my husband and I, so we came with a whirlwind of questions and requests that Marty navigated with honesty, confidence, and kindness. Leading up to the big day, he would check in with us to ensure we were on track with our playlist and timeline, and that we were all in tune with one another. For a Type A person, this was something I really valued. In that way, he brought even more than just providing the entertainment....which, he and his saxophonist absolutely ROCKED. The music was clear and a great combo of party tunes/personal faves, the transitions were seamless, and he paid attention to the crowds energy levels which determined what direction he should go so the night flowed beautifully. The saxophonist would go out on to the dance floor and engage with the guests at a perfect noise level, something I was a little concerned about in our small barn. Another concern I had with our barn was that it was going to be dark, but Marty brought the coolest lights i've seen that synced with the music and really elevated the space. I could go on, and on but - if you're reading this, hire Marty now! You will be forever thankful, like we are!

Yes! You can be as specific or open as you'd like about your music preferences. I'm here to make this perfect for what you and your guests like.

I have an amazing app called Vibo that lets you easily import music from your own playlists (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Youtube), make specific song requests, view my recommended playlists to get ideas, and fill in wedding info so it's all in one place. Plus you can even invite your guests to make song requests on the app before the wedding.

I use wireless speakers that can be placed anywhere, and I use wireless lapel mini microphones for the officiant, and couples vows & guest readings. My speakers are waterproof and I'm not afraid of a little rain! My rule is "if you can stand outside in it, so can I".

Good sound equipment makes people want to dance more and I use top-quality sound equipment from RCF that immerses you in sound at any volume; you've haven't heard music sound this good before! For lighting I use modern tube/bar lights that are wireless so they can be placed anywhere, they're bright enough to make a party vibe but unlike traditional lighting they don't blind people or ruin the photos during the event. I also offer room up-lighting to enhance the look of any venue by coloring the walls with colored light. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.

Yes! I always setup a wireless microphone to use for any toasts/speeches.

I perform weddings in NC, VA, & SC. I charge a $100+ travel fee for weddings more than 90 minutes away from Raleigh, NC. Contact me with your wedding location for an accurate pricing estimate.

I customize the music to match the client and the event. I'm completely comfortable with a wide variety of music; Pop, Rap/Hip-Hop, Rock, EDM, Country, Latin, R&B, Motown, Funk, modern hits, early 2000's, 90's, 80's, 70's, etc. When it's dance time I do real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy going and I read the crowd to match the music to the event & guests. You deserve more than a budget Spotify DJ that doesn't care if your guests leave and the dance floor is empty. I'm also well versed in non-dance music for the times when you need good music at a non-dance energy for cocktail hour, dinner, or a welcome party.

Let me know your date & location, then I'll give you a pricing quote and answer any questions you have. If you'd like to move forward with booking I'll send you a contract to look over and e-sign. Then a 50% deposit is due within 30 days, I accept most major forms of payment like credit card, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, ACH transfer, and a mailed check. After I receive the deposit you're all set! I'll reach out to setup a time to chat on a phone call or video call to start getting a feel on your wedding vibe.

Room Up-lighting is a set of wireless lights that are placed on the floor and shoot a soft beam of colored light up the wall. I control these lights to match my dance floor lighting and can change them from a soft color during dinner and then changing along with the music colors during dancing. This is a great and inexpensive way to decorate a venue and really makes the room feel like a party. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.
