Cody did our friends wedding about a year before ours. When we started booking vendors, I didn’t even research videographers. I just went straight to him and I am so glad I did. He worked with our budget when we had some last minute limitations. Our footage looks like it was straight out of a MOVIE. He is wonderful to work with and kept us laughing all day.

Marty Nightengale - DJ. MC. Entertainer. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Stem, 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.

We couldn't be happier with Marty at our recent wedding! From start to finish, he exceeded our expectations in every way. First and foremost, his attention to detail is amazing -- he noticed a discrepancy between the couple introduction song that we had put in the Vibo app versus what our day of coordinator had on her wedding timeline. He then reached out to the day of coordinator to figure out which song was correct. He also took the time to understand what we were looking for for our cocktail hour and wedding reception. He reached out many times prior to our wedding to check in with us and make sure that all of our questions were answered. It was clear that he genuinely cares about providing a memorable experience. Marty is also flexible. Originally the plan was for our dance floor to be outside. However, due to a heat wave we ended up deciding to move the dance floor inside. Marty was able to easily accommodate this request and he also offered to put speakers outside so guests who were out on the deck would still be able to hear the music. We also recommend going with the up-lighting. He did a great job setting up the lights. The lights actually change colors and really change the vibe of the reception room once the party gets started! The live music he delivered during cocktail hour was a standout of the night. We had so many compliments from guests about his cocktail hour performance. Another aspect that truly set Marty apart was his willingness to go above and beyond. Not only did he do a great job reading the vibe of the room in order to keep the dance floor lively, but at one point he also helped with cleaning up dinner plates. He showed a level of dedication and professionalism that's rare to find. Marty played a crucial role in making our wedding a success. We highly recommend him for any occasion!

Initially I was hesitant to purchase a videographer for my small wedding. But I was convinced to make the investment after reading wedding blogs where brides regretted omitting that purchase. And I'm so glad that I got the best of the best. Marlon's attention to detail was impressive. Treasured, precious moments that I missed were captured by his sensitive eye. Marlon is so good at his craft that he even gently provided direction & suggestions to our professional photographers. Marlon was available both before & after the wedding to discuss details. I knew nothing about planning a wedding. He helped a novice like myself with details I would've overlooked. You will not be disappointed in securing Marlon's services. My loved ones who received the final product were just blown away by the video footage.

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.

Throughout our planning period, Hannah and Cara were very responsive and helpful to coordinate all the details. We were thrilled with the venue itself. It was naturally beautiful and well manicured.

I've been putting off this review for a while but only because I don't feel like I have ability to express how much I LOVED working with Jessica and how great our photos turned out! Jessica takes the time to get to know you and your partner and what your needs are. She is thorough in making sure you go over expectations, scenery, lighting, who will be in your photos, etc. She is punctual, excited, and very easy to work with! Often it can be awkward taking photos that are supposed to represent the intimate aspects of your marriage/relationship but Jessica puts you at ease and is so understanding of the situation. She gives great advice and wonderful options to choose from but if you don't love ALL of your photos I would be extremely surprised. Due to Covid-19, we had to call off the large scale wedding we had planned, we still got married, still had Jessica come for our photos but to be honest my expectation were not super high only because the lighting in the venue was terrible. While I should have never doubted Jessica's magic, but I thought to myself "how good can they be with this lighting and this boring room?". It BLEW ME AWAY how wonderful all the photos turned out despite my concerns and I ended up posting EVERY SINGLE PICTURE to our Facebook for our friends and family to see. That's how great they were! I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much Three Region Photography!

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.

The venue boasts exposed bricks, rough cut beams and twenty-four arched windows, providing an abundance of natural light. 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.

This venue is by far the best one out there. It is absolutely STUNNING. The brick walls, chandeliers, beautiful drapes- all of it, just beautiful. The staff was so wonderful, kind, and attentive. Every bartender and server was delightful (special shout out to Susanna and Sarah! You made my mom, the mother of the bride, feel like a million bucks! And that cooling towel for my husband was clutch!) They ensured every guest was happy throughout the entire evening. The food was outstanding - highlights were the chicken and waffle appetizer, Mac and cheese, and prime rib! But honestly compliments to the chef on every item!!

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. Daniel's Ridge offers a simple yet high-quality backdrop that allows your love and joy to shine through brightly. We highly recommend them for any couple searching for the perfect wedding venue!

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.

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!
