We had DJ Preston from DJ Trey Entertainment at our wedding a couple weeks ago. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Leading up to the wedding they were very personal, professional and timely in answering our questions and correspondence. At the wedding, they went above and beyond to make our evening so special. The dance floor was hopping all night, and Preston went out of his way multiple times to cater to us as the couple. We cannot thank them enough for the services.

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!

The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

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!

Marty Nightengale - DJ. MC. Entertainer.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Sumter, SC for additional fees

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!

Holly and her team were the best addition to our ceremony! We had them play for our oceanfront deck ceremony and then during the cocktail hour. Even at the beach, everyone could hear the music. The grand piano was the best touch and looked so elaborate! I had friends ask what songs were played as they loved the acoustic versions. Would highly recommend!

I don’t have enough good things to say about DJ Obehi! As a professional dancer, obviously I’m a firm believer that the DJ can make or break a dance floor, and DJ Obehi absolutely MADE IT! Not only did he pick out music for our dance floor that was so specific and special to us, but he also was an amazing MC throughout the day. He absolutely brought the energy up! The whole process of booking with him was so smooth and easy, and he definitely has an amazing reputation out there - even the ABC license people had heard of him and told me he was the best and they were jealous! We even had a piñata at our wedding, and DJ Obehi was so game with our song and introducing it - he even threw me the bat! All of our guests absolutely LOVED Obehi. Hire him - you won’t regret it!
