  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Gulf, NC

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.

We worked with Carina of Raleigh Weddings, and it was easily one of the best decisions that we made. Carina has an impeccable eye for details, and through all her meetings helped us ensure that nothing was overlooked on the wedding day. She provided us with thorough check lists, email recaps, and reliable communication to help make our day perfect. Perhaps the best part about Carina is that she is so personable and brings so much joy to the wedding planning process. You could tell that she really cares about all of the people she works with. It is refreshing how authentic she is! Moreover, she really took the stress out of the process especially in the last few weeks.

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.

Words can't express how amazing Bre was to work with! Before I found Bre I was overwhelmed with ever aspect of wedding planning - I didn't even know where to start when it came to catering, flowers, signage, timelines, etc. Not only did she help this unorganized bride with planning an entire wedding, but she provided such comfort and ease for the actual wedding day. I didn't have to worry about how anything looked or how the "flow" of events would work because Bre was on top of it all. I am so thankful to have had her help for the months, days, hours and minutes of this entire process. She has been the sweetest person from the minute I inquired with her all the way through our post-wedding conversations!

We are so grateful and glad that we found Myesha at Belton Bliss Events for our wedding. From the first moment we met her, we had a gut feeling that she was the right person to help us, and we were so right. Our wedding was pretty big (140 people) with lots of moving parts, and Myesha was integral to it being the best wedding we could have ever asked for. Our guests raved about how smooth and fun everything was, and we stayed ahead of schedule for almost the entire day. When I asked her mid-day if anything catastrophic had happened, she said "I would never tell you if it had" and I trusted her completely to handle anything that came up. And she did! As a testament to how wonderful Myesha is, and how she will go above and beyond for her couples: At the end of the night, we left the venue for our after party... and about an hour later, we realized Myesha had walked over to tell us that we'd left our cake and leftover food behind! We were prepared to send a family member to grab it, but Myesha instead got our hotel key, ran across town and delivered everything to our room so it was there when we got back from our after-party. Even when I woke up at 4 am on the wedding day with an idea for something I wanted to make happen, she said "Don't worry about it" and made it happen. We love Myesha, and you cannot go wrong hiring her!

I can’t recommend booking her enough, even if you think you’ve “already got this”— she has a ton of insight and protected us from getting too stressed over anything. She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented. Everything went off without a hitch, and we are so glad to be able to look back at that moment in our lives with a feeling of joy and connectedness, not stress and burnout.

Hello, my name is DJ Joey B. My job is to make your next event, One To Remember! I do not scratch, I just play the best music tailored to your event. I have been DJing professionally since 2005. I have had the opportunity to DJ all types of events. I got my start while I was working for Pearson Music Company. While there I was learning about live sound setups and DJ setups. I made friends with many of the local DJ’s in the area. They told me I should put my love of music together with my knowledge of sound equipment and bring music to the masses.

Not only is Joey one of the kindest and most charming people we worked with during our wedding planning, he went above and beyond every step of the way! We had several calls with him and met in person over the year leading up to our wedding where he not only helped us with the music planning but actually offered really valuable general wedding advice that helped us make some non-music related decisions. At the wedding, he was an absolute star! He played a fantastic set with several genres that we had requested throughout the night. All of our guests said they hadn't danced that much in years! Even when it rained for about 20 minutes, people were still on the dance floor having the time of their lives. There's the proof that Joey is committed to giving all those feel good vibes you want for your special day. We absolutely loved working with him and without hesitation recommend him 100%!

We're a husband & wife wedding photography & videography team! We're pretty big fans of each other, so we're pretty big fans of working together. We got married on 2/15/2020, and it was undoubtedly the happiest day of our lives — so now we spend our time helping others remember the happiest day of theirs through stunning photo & video. :)

Chandler and Sarah are the best! We had a short engagement so all booking and planning was "rushed" they were very understanding and always responded quickly. Could not have asked for a better experience, they are amazing at making sure you get the shots you want while still being able to bring in creative elements that suit you if you don't have a preference like we did. Loved working with them, they are just the sweetest. It's only been a week after our wedding so we've only gotten the sneak peek photos so far but if they are just a glimpse of how beautiful the rest of them will be I am going to cry all over again as they captured the day so beautifully.

Every space was utilized, and the flow made our day a dream. The day didn't feel like three separate events. It felt seamless and as if it was one big day of celebration and love!

After opening one of Downtown Raleigh’s most vibrant restaurants on the ground level, creative director Samad Hachby renovated the third-story space to accommodate the larger weddings, special events, and parties that his restaurant was being sought after to host. Today, the Historic Melrose Knitting Mill sits perched high atop 309 N. Dawson Street welcoming guests to a true destination within the heart of the city.

We had an exceptional experience with this venue for our wedding. It is an absolutely beautiful on its own, not needing a lot of extra decor. We really appreciated not needing a lot of extra rentals beyond linens and the catering from Mulino was great! So many guests raved about the Mac and cheese.

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!

I am a stay-at-home mom of three who loves flowers. Growing up on my family farm I foraged flowers and foliage to make arrangements for friends and neighbors. I love dreaming about weddings with brides and designing lovely arrangements out of stunning local flowers. Flowers are so gorgeous on their own, it is a delight to work with them. My dream of having my own flower farm is finally a reality! When you book me, your flowers will be unique and fully local, from my farm and other local farms. I especially enjoy using seasonal flowers because they lend their own character to the finished designs. I look forward to hearing from you!

Camille did the flowers for our wedding shower and wedding and we couldn't have been happier with them! She was a joy to work with throughout the planning process, and found a way to source our flowers in a way that made it much more manageable budget-wise. Her eye for flowers is special, but she made sure throughout to make sure that what she was making lined up with what I wanted. We're so grateful for her contribution to our wedding day. :)

Daniel's Ridge was the perfect venue for our wedding day! Their communication throughout the planning process was absolutely amazing - Amanda and Todd were so responsive and eager to fulfill our vision. The venue itself is 100% handicap accessible and felt like perfection for our special event. I didn't have a care in the world on my wedding day since there was always an attentive staff member ready to help out with anything we needed. My husband and I felt completely taken care of thanks to Amanda, Todd, and the entire Daniel's Ridge team. From the beautiful ceremony site to the elegant ballroom reception, every detail at Daniel's Ridge was flawless. We're so grateful we chose this venue to host the most important day of our lives.

Maggie blew me away! I'm in no way someone who can envision flavor pairings or even designs for a cake. I knew I wanted something classic, yet different for my wedding cake. I also wanted to surprise my husband with a groom's cake that would blow him away. Maggie delivered! She helped me narrow in my ideas to the heart of what I was looking for and she brought my ideas to LIFE. Oh, and they tasted delicious! She brought so much flavor to both cakes, they were moist, & the perfect size. She helped me figure out what size of cakes I needed to feed all my guests! The process was so seamless and that is one of the main things I remember from working with her. If you're on the fence or deep in the search, stop here and commit to Banko Bake! One of my best vendors!
