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!

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,295
  • Serves Atlantic Beach, 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.”

We hired Ralph Bracamonte for our super non-traditional wedding, he absolutely CRUSHED it. Great communication, flexibility, and insight into helping us plan - and outstanding delivery on the day-of. Great MC (without being too much) and did an awesome job of reading the room and keeping the dance floor poppin. He's seriously talented far beyond just slapping on a playlist - let this man cook!

Guy Michel Music

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Atlantic Beach, NC for additional fees

Hi, I’m Guy Michel – I believe music should move people—not just fill the silence. My goal is simple: create the perfect soundtrack for your celebration. With over two decades of experience, I’ve learned how to read the room and flow with the energy. Whether it’s setting a romantic tone for your walk down the aisle, adding elegance to your cocktail hour, or turning things up as the party unfolds—I adjust the vibe in real-time to match your moment. My style is anything but traditional. It’s not just about playing music. It’s about creating an experience your guests will talk about long after the last note fades. Let’s make magic

Mr. Michel is definitely a smooth operator. He knows how to work a room well. He knows how to get people to engage, and he knows when to blend into the background. He doesn’t act like a rockstar, even tho he easily could demand that type of attention based on his accomplishments. Simply a pleasure to work with.

Tori’s presence at our wedding celebration made our day incredibly special and relaxing! Having Tori playing the harp during the prelude and ceremony was a treat - we could hear the harp music as we finished getting ready! Even our guests on zoom heard the music and couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was. The whole process of working with Tori was streamlined, professional and effortless! They communicated promptly and provided comprehensive details well in advance of the day to ensure everything was coordinated. Tori also made the process of choosing music so easy. Other than our song for walking down the aisle, we didn’t have strong preferences. Tori got to know our personalities and preferences and made music choices for us that fit the mood of our gathering and ceremony perfectly! We heard some samples of the music during our planning session and were already touched and tearing up. Working with Tori was truly one of the least stressful parts of planning the wedding and we never had to worry about music in the ceremony. We also cried when they sent us the special recording of their arrangement of Ben Platt’s “So Will I” that we loved for walking down the aisle. It was so special to have personalized and unique music arranged for our day, and a commemorative recording we can listen to forever. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough! Thank you so much Tori!!

We absolutely couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding bands. From start to finish, they were phenomenal! Their professionalism was evident in every interaction. Planning a wedding was difficult. Matt made planning the music easy. Communication was quick and clear, every single time. This band is a true professional team. On our wedding day, they arrived early, set up quickly, and were ready to go. We had plenty of day-of problems. Our dressing rooms weren't unlocked. The cake was an hour late. Two groomsmen had suits that didn't fit. Hair was 45 minutes late. If Jeremy & Matt had issues, we never knew about it. We are so grateful. The moment they began playing, the atmosphere was transformed. Their ability to read the crowd and keep the energy as the night moved forward. Jackie, their female vocalist, had a powerful voice that captivated every guest from song one. Their lively and engaging performance had everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along. Each band member is exceptionally talented. They even took the time to learn and perfectly execute our special song request, which made our first dance unforgettable. Guests are still raving about the band and how much fun they had. If you're looking for a wedding band that will elevate your special day and leave a lasting impression, look no further. This group is simply outstanding and worth every penny. They create a harmonious and vibrant sound and are truly impressive. Thank you for making our wedding day magical and filled with joyous memories.
