We hired Liz to be our DJ and Master of Ceremonies. What we ended up getting was a full fledge package of a wedding planner, Roast Master, DJ, Master of Ceremonies, and the most generous person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Not only did she make sure that everything we asked for went more than perfect. She also took control and made sure our beach front wedding was hooked up with microphones and music so everyone could here our vows and be a part of the most special day of our lives. She is a FULL PACKAGE and she is worth 5x’s more than she charges. I can honestly say that she was the main reason our wedding was so memorable. It’s been 8 years and I still have friends making comments on how much fun and excite of the whole event was. When my wife and I renew our vows on our 10th anniversary. Liz will not be hired to work the event. She will be attending as a guest. She literally turned into part of our family and is loved dearly by my wife and I.

Our neighbors recommended Bachelor Boys Band to us when we were planning our wedding (they hired them for all THREE of their kids weddings). We reached out to them and right away they were excited to work with us. We had a super unconventional wedding location (SportRock Climbing Center) and that meant we needed a b and that could fill a giant place with music and entertainment. For the ceremony, they set up a PA for the officiant (15 feet in the air) and we had an acoustic guitar play while we walked down the isle... During the reception 5 musicians performed and they made sure everyone had a great time! They even pulled me aside to tell me how much they enjoyed my wedding, which is SO sweet! I just really loved having them as part of my special day!

My wedding planner recommended DJ Touche - BEST DECISION EVER! Leading up to the wedding, he was very professional and responsive. He even set up a phone call a couple days before the wedding just to make sure my husband and I were good to go, which I felt was above and beyond. His gear and setup were REALLY nice and looked great with the venue/decor. My husband back-flipped me during our first dance, which I totally forgot to ask someone to video b/c it was a surprise, but DJ Touche saved the day with his camera setup and he captured it!!! Most importantly, however, I'm not kidding when I say our dance floor was packed the entire night. We heard from so many guests that the music was lit. He's amazing with song mixes and transitions, plus he knows how to interact with the crowd (he's hilarious). Everybody was having the time of their lives on the dance floor so if that’s the vibe you’re going for, hire DJ Touche!!!

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!

Kelton was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He stuck with us even when we had to postpone our wedding for two years due to the pandemic, so we really appreciated his commitment to working with us. Kelton has a great system for figuring out your taste, priorities, and run of show. He set up very quickly at our venue, which was key given we were running on a tight schedule, and he managed to produce nice sound in a very cavernous space (no idea how!). He kept us running on time and made all transitions seamless. His music perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, starting with a relaxed cocktail hour and dinner, and gradually increasing the tempo into a full-scale dance party as the night went on. And our friends and family had an absolute blast! He had everyone from 20 somethings to family in their 60s and 70s dancing until the very end! We got so many positive messages the next day, including one person who described our DJ as being "on fleek."

OBEHI THE DJ

5.0

Charlotte, NC
  • DJ
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Welcome! My name is Obehi (obey). I'm a Nigerian-born American. God has blessed me with many opportunities to be a full-time DJ. I take very seriously the nearly 200 weddings I've had the privilege of being a part of. I hope this curated page can show you and your family that I will give 110% of my talent and personality to aid in making your night one to remember.

Obehi is a close friend of my wife and I, originally met him on the salsa dance floor. I knew I wanted him to DJ our wedding months before I even proposed to my wife, so booking him was a no-brainer when wedding plans officially began. We didn't even talk to/entertain the idea of other DJ vendors. He's easily the best hype man, he handled our on-the-fly suggestions during the reception, and seamlessly tied the whole party together--even troubleshooting the party RGB lighting rig DURING the reception dance set list when they stopped working for a few minutes. Coming from a computer & network technician, that's impressive in such a high-sakes environment. Thanks again for celebrating our marriage with us, my friend.

Chapel Hill, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA for additional fees

Your event deserves the best music professional! I know planning an event and choosing a DJ can be a lot; let me make the music the easiest part for you. I’ve been making memorable experiences since 2007; where I shine is matching the music to your vibe while also reading the room, using real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy up, working with vendors to keep the event running smoothly, interacting with the crowd, and customizing what I do for each client to create an authentic celebration that brings you and your guests together. Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or private party; I've got you covered.

Marty was absolutely awesome to work with. I am a comedian and I was hired to perform at a corporate event celebrating 15 years of success. My job was to roast the owners of the company. I had come up with with a way to close my act by tricking one of the owners to come up and sing his favorite karaoke song. It was going to be the perfect closing bit. But, the son of a gun stole the mic in the middle of the night and sang the song before I even got to perform! Marty and I had already worked out the whole thing by phone before I even got there! So then I thought of another important song in the owner's life, but I knew he wouldn't know this one that well. So I had Marty play this instead. His timing was perfect. He waited for my cue and then hit the guy by surprise with the song. And when it was definitely time for this charade end, Marty brought the owner out of it with his dignity in tact. I've worked a lot of events like these and I've worked with a lot of DJs. This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a review. Marty just gets it and he went above and beyond, and was thrilled to help me make my part of the show better. Plenty of times DJs just doesn't care. He or she is there to do their part and they're not going that far out of their way to make your life better. But Marty was different. He helped me make something go from good to great, and I can only hope to walk into another gig like that in the future and find Marty spinning tunes behind the turntables.

He was very easy to work with, incredibly proactive with his communication, and overall an energetic and helpful one-man support system for our wedding day.

Deverin was such a joy to work with. He was fun and personable and kept the party going- no one was ready to leave! I gave him a list of songs for inspiration and he took it and ran with it which was awesome. He came well prepared and was able to switch gears and move inside and out seamlessly with little notice. He is such a nice person and so much fun! After my wedding my sister hurried to book him for her own wedding.

Our DJ/BAND HYBRIDs are carefully crafted to your needs giving you limitless musical possibilities! Your event is right around the corner... Get amped and GET AMP!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.
