Stephen is our DJ and he has an infectious energy and knows how to keep a dance floor filled with dancing bodies! Stephen has DJ'd tons of weddings, clubs, festivals, corporate events, and even opened for T-Pain. Stephen is an award winning DJ that cares about his clients and it shows!

Startime Productions was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. From the beginning, their communication was always quick and reliable, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was AMAZING - they were more personal and attentive than any other DJ we looked at. Stephen, our DJ, was amazing! He helped accommodate our drizzly weather and got everyone up and on the dance floor. I looked into several different DJs but Stephen was by far the winner, from his communication, enthusiasm, and genuine care for our special day. I would recommend using Startime Productions for any of our future events - you won't regret it!

Our family absolutely enjoyed every bit of the events. Kashif is extremely responsive and patient and will craft the perfect playlist and flow of events for your special day. During the event, he kept the dance floor busy and everyone enjoyed his work. When I had some issues with wedding logistics at my end he quickly adjusted our timelines for a super smooth flow.

Discoboxx

Raleigh, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995

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. We recommend Discoboxx enthusiastically and often.

It was meant to be for us to have Sam be the DJ at our nerdy chic wedding. On a sheer whim, we emailed him when it was clear our original plan of "oh we'll just make a few playlists" was absolutely not going to happen. 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!

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.

  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Raleigh, NC
  • Offer

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.

Jason, Spenser, and the rest of the Stylus SE team are hands down the BEST! They have played for our Christmas party three years in a row (in addition to many many weddings I've gotten to be apart of) and every time they play, guests have the greatest time. Not only are they very talented (remixes like you could never imagine, no smooth song transitions *so important*, and excellent MC) but they are reliable, easy to work with, and will 100% come through with everything they say they will. Jason cares so much about his clients and making sure no detail is overlooked. You could not be in better hands or have a more action-packed dance floor if you choose to hire Stylus!

Elegant Soiree Wedding DJs & Photobooths provided top-notch services to perfection for our wedding day. Extremely trustworthy, punctual, great at their job, and just great people overall on a personality level. We got married in Charlotte NC but Victor and his team are willing to travel to be part of your special day. It was a super hot summer day and we had him move to 4 locations for ceremony, cocktail hour, second ceremony, and reception (only indoor spot), and there was no lapse in music playing or delays. He conquered a tough challenge with that! Victor is extremely flexible to where the guest can create the entire playlist to their desire, or have no part in it and just relax and coast and let Victor do the work! The Photobooth addition is an absolute must-add, and really added another dimension for wedding guests, at an affordable price! We are so grateful that Elegant Soiree Wedding DJs & Photobooths were part of our special day.

On the day of, Brian was incredibly attentive, adjusting music when it needed to be and throwing in some of his own flair that made for such a memorable night.

Jermaine "Dj Spontaneous" was the Dj for our wedding. His tagline of no boring weddings fits exactly what you get from him. From his preparation prior to the wedding getting a sense of the attendee demographics to the day of execution Jermaine was phenomenal. EVERY one of my guest raved about how great the dj was and, how much fun they had dancing all night. He did what was almost impossible because of our faith and personal beliefs we had certain parameters for the music but not every attendee has those same views he pleased our younger guests, our older guest and everyone inbetween. I'm very thankful to have had him Dj our special day.

James was the DJ for my wedding just two weeks ago! Going into the planning process, I knew Born to DJ because James also did my sister's wedding. He is one of the only DJ's I know that constantly reads the crowd. If he can tell people aren't liking a song, he will change it to keep everything lively. I wanted my wedding day to be a huge party, and I really wanted people dancing for the majority of it. That is not an easy thing to do but I have seen James keep people dancing and engaged at my sister's wedding and now mine. The planning couldn't have been easier, and I always felt reassured after speaking with him. Born to DJ couldn't have done better and I highly HIGHLY recommend them.

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.

DJs of Charleston were absolutely amazing on our wedding day. Their communication leading up to the event was excellent - they were fast to respond to all of our questions and very effective in helping us plan the timeline and music for the night. When it came to the actual wedding, DJ infidel aka Mawali, was absolutely perfect, and executed vibes we and everyone that night wanted. Everyone was on the dance floor! They expertly MC'd the event so we didn't have to worry about any guests yapping too much, and the music and energy they brought was exactly what we wanted. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ team. What are you waiting for - just book DJs of Charleston, it truly doesn't get better than them!

Greg Keys & Co

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Raleigh, NC
  • Offer

Our wedding band is a group of 5 best friends with BIG personalities. The whole musical aspect of the industry was run by cookie-cutter wedding bands that looked so much more corporate than artistic. So many couple's feel trapped into choosing a band that would simply play songs, but not give the crowd a performance. The reception is meant to be high energy, interactive, and engaging. As artists that tour the country and live the music we play, we truly believe we are the best in the country at providing our weddings with something real. Something that they can remember and take home with them for years to come.

These guys have been a staple of Charleston for over 4 years. Everyone knows them, now they are servicing all of the Carolinas and just performed at my sisters wedding last month. They're just the best. Saxophone is killer, drummer is s legend. Look at their google reviews, there videos, all there info shows it, that they know what they're doing, and they do it well.

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!

Mixology 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $995
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

Mixology was started in 2017 when owner, Roman Brown, saw a need for more entertaining and energetic wedding DJ's in the Carolinas after moving from New York. Their goal is to help make your wedding night as special and fun as you'd imagined it would be.

We were stressed about a DJ as we had never hired one before, and had heard horror stories about people's bad dj experiences. From our very first phone call with Mixology, Roman put us at ease. He was knowledgeable and walked us through everything step by step, it was clear to us he had lots of experience. He was kind and understanding, given we had a TON of questions. He sent us some mixes as well to help us understand he really mixes music together, not just presses play on a playlist. With that, we were more than confident to book. Roman's presentation on the night of our wedding absolutely BLEW US OUT OF THE WATER! He was involved, enthusiastic, and exciting to watch and listen to. He kept everyone moving and the beats never stopped. Each song rolled into the next one flawlessly and had everyone on their feet all night. He set the bar HIGH for the standard of DJ i want to have at any more events, so i don't think i'll look anywhere else to book. Mixology is your one stop shop for great entertainment, and great communication & customer service. I wish i could give more than 5 stars!!! Thank you Roman, for making our night so special!!
