Even in 2024, booking vendors for a gay wedding can be stressful. You never know if you are going to be met with animosity simply for requesting their services, and sometimes seeking out services that cater to gay weddings can be intentionally overpriced due to their rarity. I browsed through Zola, but I could not find a way to filter for lgbt friendly vendors, but googling DJ Triplicate and finding his storefront allowed me to book him. 5/5 A communication, and performance! He responded instantly every time we reached out, and was always quick with a suggestion, or solution any time any obstacle presented itself. Thank you!

Mike DJ'd my wedding in May 2023, and he is THE BEST. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Mike was very responsive, easy and fun to plan with, and great with communication leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we didn't need to touch base with him because we were confident he had everything covered. We had some interesting song requests, specific timing for certain songs, etc., and Mike handled everything perfectly. He was the perfect MC to help facilitate the grand march, speeches, dances, and dinner, and he kept the party going all night! We highly, highly recommend Mike!

When we first started planning, my fiancé wanted live music and I was interested in finding a DJ. The solution: let’s do both! RAVE from Good Musicians was everything we could’ve wanted and more! They were so thorough with the song selection and ensuring that there was a good mix of genres that met our taste and variety for our guests. The dance floor was filled all night and they brought the energy and fun! We danced so hard we didn’t want the night to end. Our guests could not stop raving about how great the band sounded! Thank you so much Rave for the most amazing wedding we could’ve ever dreamed of! It was perfect!

We love a women owned and operated company and these women were absolutely fabulous to work with! I was a bit difficult due to stress and they kept a smile on their face and were so sweet. The day of the wedding they were so charismatic and did amazing with the music as well as the being the officiant for our ceremony! They have amazing personalities and they are very calming to be around! They even went above and beyond to fill in the gaps that the coordinator I had hired was dropping the ball on!

Sam from Dream Day Charleston is an awesome DJ! We found him as a recommendation from our planner who had all great things to say. We're so glad he was able to DJ for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. From the start, Sam was responsive and personable. Dream Day Charleston's website and online music portal were great resources that helped us start the music planning process! Sam even provided playlists for pre-ceremony options, cocktail/dinner music, and reception songs for every type of music taste. Sam took time to meet with us before our event to walk us through the day and and help us nail down final song choices and details. He even helped us edit and cut down our first dance song. Execution on the wedding day was flawless. The ceremony was great, Sam made sure the officiant was properly mic'd, our speakers had microphones, and made upbeat announcements to keep our event progressing. DJ Sam got everyone out on the dance floor with his great mixes and was able to take requests. I would highly recommend Sam for any event! His energy, passion, and professionalism are off the charts.

Matthew and Karese are such a fun duo! After a year delay due to the pandemic, the long awaited dance party at our anniversary vow renewal celebration was a hit. Matthew played all the best music that people wanted to dance to and have a good time with and none of the lame, worn out wedding songs! During the planning process they were super attentive, great with communication, and flexible with my vision for a slightly different run of show since it was a renewal event. They helped keep the party going all night long and appreciate all they did! We had a blast!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!

Discoboxx

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Arden, NC for additional fees

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.

I think beauty is important. Beauty is what inspires us to do something higher than our everyday. A wedding day should be full of beauty. Whether that means beautiful sounds or a beautiful place setting. In my opinion, the two are inextricably linked. Beauty is what I strive to create for each bride and groom.

Danielle and Her team were amazing!! We hired them for our Wedding in August 2023 in Newport RI and they were outstanding!! We had a Trio for Our ceremony outdoors, a Jazz Duo for our Cocktail hour and then we had a DJ with the fusion options and had an Electric Violinist and Electric Guitarists Play!! Hands Down the most amazing Music Service!!

Growing up, DJ Theo would tag along with his father DJ Leo.

Metro area. DJ Theo is able to deejay for large crowds and has the ability to entertain at weddings and corporate events with a variety of music. Using the latest software and professional sound equipment, DJ Theo is able to combine music to satisfy guests of all ages, keeping everyone dancing.

Wild Faith (Leonardo Armijo) 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,888
  • Serves Arden, NC for additional fees

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.
