Marty Nightengale - DJ. MC. Entertainer.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Arden, NC
  • Offer

Your wedding deserves a packed dance floor and a fun & stress-free experience from a top industry professional you can trust! I know planning a wedding can be a lot; let me make music the easiest part for you. I’ve been creating memorable experiences for all couples and all love, for over 17 years; where I shine is matching the music to your vibe while also reading the crowd, using real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy up, interacting with the crowd, and working with all the other vendors to keep the event running smooth.

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.

I had so much fun working with Molly on my wedding. She really listens and makes you feel comfortable almost instantly with a daunting task like picking wedding music. She uses an app that makes it reaaly easy to narrow down choices, but also spends time with you on the phone to get to know you and your personality and what would fit with your wedding style. I really loved working with her! I would use her again if I had another event that I needed a DJ for. % stars for sure!

Paige and Holly were a dream to work with! Music and dancing was one of the highest priorities for our wedding. Paige and Holly understood my vision and music taste immediately, and we knew we could trust them for an incredible party. They took all of my favorite songs and wielded them expertly to keep the dance floor packed all night --- from Stevie Nicks to Chappell Roan. Our wedding night wouldn't have been the same without them, and I wish I could relive that dance floor a million times over. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding music and how much fun our guests had.

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.

This band was fantastic!! They played for my ceremony (guitarist), cocktail hour (three pieces), and reception (8 piece band). They were definitely the highlight of the night! They never said no to a single request we gave them - including playing a piece written by my own grandmother. I received so many compliments about their performance, and they kept everyone up and dancing all night. Our only issue with them is that they started our father/daughter dance song too quickly so we were thrown off, but no one seemed to notic!

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.

We were stressed about a DJ as we had never hired one before, and had heard horror stories about people's bad dj experiences. From our very first phone call with Mixology, Roman put us at ease. He was knowledgeable and walked us through everything step by step, it was clear to us he had lots of experience. He was kind and understanding, given we had a TON of questions. He sent us some mixes as well to help us understand he really mixes music together, not just presses play on a playlist. With that, we were more than confident to book. Roman's presentation on the night of our wedding absolutely BLEW US OUT OF THE WATER! He was involved, enthusiastic, and exciting to watch and listen to. He kept everyone moving and the beats never stopped. Each song rolled into the next one flawlessly and had everyone on their feet all night. He set the bar HIGH for the standard of DJ i want to have at any more events, so i don't think i'll look anywhere else to book. Mixology is your one stop shop for great entertainment, and great communication & customer service. I wish i could give more than 5 stars!!! Thank you Roman, for making our night so special!!

Midnight City

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Arden, NC

Full time musicians with years of experience, The Midnight City band brings energy and passion to each event. Playing a wide variety of music styles, the band keeps their set list updated and relevant with a mix of old school classics as well as newer hits sure to please any audience. In 2019, The Post and Courier named The Midnight City as Charleston's favorite cover band - this is a band sure to impress!

We were an out of town couple, planning a "destination" wedding and Midnight City came very highly recommended from our CHS wedding vendors, which was very important to us; they get to see ALL of the local entertainment! After reviewing a few demo videos, we knew we needed to book Midnight City immediately! Their diverse music portfolio and range of genres they can play is unmatchable and their ability to engage with a crowd is so impressive. They are a truly talented group, not just a (insert generic event here) cover band. The booking process and pre-wedding communication was very quick and seamless. They were very flexible when we added on ceremony music after the fact and executed everything flawlessly. We were able to highlight our must have songs, preferred songs, and our "do not play" list. Their energy was high and truly made us feel like we were at a concert vs. a wedding (which is just what we wanted). They amplified our entire experience. You will not be disappointed with this talented crew!!

All of our guests from grandparents to little cousins got up to dance without it being cheesy - it felt just like the coolest party we could imagine. She was really responsive to all emails and text (even to some last minute questions and requests) and organized, and really took the time to get to know us so our wedding felt true to us. Even with a brief technical issue the venue had she kept super cool and relaxed, which helped my husband and I to stay cool and just enjoy our night! Definitely recommend DJ B!
