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.

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!

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.

As a venue owner Stylus S.E. Is always an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication is prompt and thorough, ensuring we feel prepared and confident leading up to the big day. On the day of, their professionalism and ability to keep the dance floor packed and guests entertained is unmatched. Once, when an unexpected power outage struck, Stylus came through with a battery backup for their equipment and some battery-operated lights, literally saving the reception. We would highly recommend Stylus S.E. to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding band and DJ service.

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.

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!

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.

Our experience with DJ - A Better DJ And Photographer Nationwide was fantastic. From the very beginning, they were great communicators, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. On the day of our wedding, they ensured everything went off without a hitch. Their professionalism and attention to detail were excellent, and they seamlessly kept the reception running smoothly from start to finish. The music they played kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our special day truly memorable. Highly recommend their services!

Marlon with Go DJ ATL was a wonderful vendor who clearly has plenty of experience in his field. He can read a room at a moment’s notice and keep a party vibe going with a variety of musical styles. I can testify considering our wedding blended White and Latin families and loved ones together while managing to get everyone out on the dance floor having a great time! He played salsa, merengue, bachata, line dances, country, oldies, classical, folk all in one event but at different points! Marlon lights up a room without taking attention away from the guests of honor but rather makes sure he directs the spotlight to the couple making them feel special. He is truly a one of a kind professional with a passion for his trade who wants to make sure your day is as special as the love you share with one another. Marlon, you’ve become a friend one the course of this past year; thank you for everything and for all the attention to detail you made sure to cover. I’m so grateful we had you at our event. I know it wouldn’t have been the same or nearly as successful without you!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!
