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

Your wedding deserves a packed dance floor and a stress-free experience from a friendly & reliable top-tier wedding pro! I know planning a wedding can be a lot; I make it easier 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. Check out my reviews to see what couples are saying. LGBTQ+ friendly; nothing but love here!

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

She always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera & always respected our input/wants/don’t wants. She was the perfect asset to our wedding day. If you aren’t sure of who to trust with photographing your wedding day & love the natural light look of photos, choose Laurel!

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!

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%!

Justin was extremely easy to work with! I can agree with others that have said he is one of your stress-free vendors. When I received my wedding photos back it felt like I was reliving my wedding day, he captured so many moments that I will be forever grateful to have on camera. There are so many photos that I adore from our big day, it’s impossible to pick a favorite. The process from booking, to our engagement shoot, and the big day was seamless. I would highly recommend Old North State Photography!!!!

We worked with Chris for our engagement photos and all of the photos he delivered were amazing! Even better, he was so fun to work with, he had a clear vision for each photo, and each photo location. He clearly had put a lot of thought into the photos before we met up. He was also so funny and encouraging, it made what we thought would be an awkward experience, a fun afternoon. We can't wait to work with him for our wedding this fall! I would absolutely recommend Chris as a wedding photographer.

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 and did such a phenomenal job! We met together to discuss the style I was looking for, she worked with my budget to help me find the perfect elegant fit, and entirely took the stress out of making the day look stunning. The quality of the flowers and greenery was amazing and I had bouquets last for WEEKS after the wedding.

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.

Hi, I'm Coby! I am so excited you are here! It is a privilege to be invited to some of the most pivotal and beautiful moments in people's lives. My couples choose me to preserve true, honest memories of their newly forming family tree. They trust me to truly see these connections and document them with professionalism and artistic ability so that they come away with photos that are treasured for the rest of their lives.

Where to even begin?! We met Coby at a bridal show and she was so warm and open right from the beginning. We met for coffee and discussed how we wanted our wedding to be, and we just knew she was who we wanted as our photographer. She helped with planning so when our wedding day arrived, it was simply perfect! We woke up the day after our wedding to beautiful sneak peeks and our whole wedding album was complete a few weeks later. The whole process was simply amazing!
