Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Preston to get everything set up, and Trey was our DJ for the wedding. They handled music and emceeing for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I was super impressed by how professional all my communication was with them and how easy everything was. Honestly, they were the easiest vendor that I worked with. They let you pick out and customize the music as much or little as you want. I had put together fairly extensive playlists that Trey had no problem going off of. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat if you're in the Savannah/Charleston area! All our guests had a blast dancing the night away!

Karl went above and beyond for us every step of the way! I wanted a faux boxwood wall for our photobooth and he made one for us. I was also able to use my own designs for the photobooth so that it matched the rest of our wedding. Last minute we found out some close family couldn't come and Karl recorded and edited a video of our ceremony and had it to us incredibly quickly. We really put off our music selections but DJ Ben was able to work with us just a few days before the wedding and everything came out perfectly.

Brian did an amazing job at our wedding. I work in events and am pretty picky about music and DJ's, but he far exceeded our expectations! I had several guests also comment on how good he was. His style of mixing music and the type of music he plays was absolutely perfect for our crowd. We had an amazing time and people stayed on the dance floor the whole night. His setup and the lights he brought were a huge bonus and made our venue look so good! Brian is super easy to work with and I would recommend him to any event you have coming up!

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!

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.

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism.

DJ Mike Lujan was hands down one of our favorite parts of our wedding. He kept the party going all night long, and our guests were raving about how much they loved him. He was professional, knowledgeable, and handed every detail music, emcee, and lighting-wise to help create our perfect event. He even sent us audios and video recordings for us after our wedding. Mike, we are SO grateful for you!!!!!! You were the best DJ ever and we will forever be thankful for your part in our journey.

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!

Bill Carroll was more than a DJ at my mom's wedding. He genuinely cared about my mom's wishes and made it clear he wanted her to have the best wedding ever. It's like he became a member of our family leading up to and during the wedding. He made the entire process SO easy. When it came to the actual wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. My favorite part was when everyone left to line up and send off my mom and her new hubby, he played one final song for just the two of them to dance to, by themselves, on the dance floor. It was so incredibly touching. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute stand up guy and a DJ who knows what he's doing! Everyone had a blast. We love you, Bill Carroll!
