Marty Nightengale - DJ. Musician. MC.

5.0

Chapel Hill, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200

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.

I don't think this form will let me write all the praise that Marty deserves for our wedding! If you are at all on the fence, jump off right now and hire Marty IMMEDIATELY. Music was such a big deal to us for our wedding, and Marty made the planning and execution better than I could have EVER imagined. He absolutely went above and beyond. Every. Single. One. of our guests said how amazing he was, and I still have friends and family talking about it, years later. Not only is he an EXCELLENT DJ but he's also a fantastic musician (his voice is AMAZING, guitar impeccable), he just has that "x" factor and knows how to throw a FANTASTIC party. He has the perfect mix of following the specifics of what we wanted (like the "do not play list" and keeping to our type/genre of music) but also playing to the crowd and MAN, did he deliver! Everyone was dancing and having fun ALL NIGHT. He also has the perfect amount of professionalism, flexibility, and guidance for those of us that need help putting all the random pieces together to make a wedding run smoothly. Prior to the actual day, he did a great job of following up, walking us through his planning app to help us figure things out, and was extra responsive and detailed. He really guided us with timing and flow, and had great suggestions for when we were stumped. I never felt worried about a thing, from first contact, up through the end of the reception. We had Marty run our ceremony and reception - basically everything that had anything to do with sound. Honestly, I don't know how he did it. He did the ceremony space - playing acoustic guitar, our specific recorded songs, and all the mics... the music, vows, officiant, toasts, etc. all sounded perfect. He also did all the reception; he MC'd, played guitar, learned & played our first dance song live, DJ'd, and coordinated everything so well - again, I do NOT know how he made it all work so well with all those hats he wore. We also brought in a musician from our hometown, and Marty was able to get us a piano, set him up, and worked so well with him that they actually played songs together during cocktail hour.. it was BEYOND perfect. In conclusion -- if you have ANY doubts, please do yourself a favor and THROW THEM OUT THE WINDOW. Marty is professional, SUPER talented, very experienced, kind, and ridiculously fun.

Bunn DJ Company specializes in all types of events, including weddings, corporate events, private parties and school / college events. We have a staff of 20 professional, mobile DJs covering North Carolina.

Wow. Randy is AMAZING. If you are looking for a DJ, book Randy. He was amazing to work with through the full planning process. He had great ideas, input, and guidance. We never worried about anything and knew he was on it. For our first dance song, we really wanted to use “Buy Dirt” but couldn’t find a slower version we liked. Without us even asking, he asked his friend Cody Daniel to record a version that was PERFECT for us because he knew we loved his music. Thank you so much Cody! On the wedding day, Randy was dressed to perfection and so many guests noticed (even the cool cuff links!). The music was on point all night and the dance floor was completely full! Every time Randy walked by my husband and I, he would ask us if we needed anything, grab us a drink, or just check in. From the ceremony, through the reception to our private last dance, he was phenomenal. Thank you Randy for being apart of the best day ever!!

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.”

As a wedding planner, I work with a lot of wedding DJs - and by far, Discoboxx has been the best experience for both my couples and myself. They truly take the time to get to know couples, provide a customized planning portal and conduct final meetings to confirm details, and are fantastic with communication and response time. On the day-of, they excel at everything from announcements and guiding the flow of guests all the way through dance floor transitions and mixing records. Intuitive, talented, and client experience-focused; you won't find a better DJ collective than Discoboxx.

Lets chat about making your wedding day A Night to Remember!

Awarded Best of Zola
I manage a wedding venue in WSNC, and when I got engaged I knew who all my vendors would be already. I meet a ton of DJs, and honestly haven't liked a ton of them! DJs have a bad habit of making other people's special day about themselves, quite a few are not on top of the timeline and giving the right cues, and generally a lot of them are rude! David is fantastic at what he does! He truly cares about what the couple wants to hear, and not just what he wants to play. He is a wonderful MC, and was fantastic with the timing of the ceremony and reception. He was also so excited for us, and of course treated our other vendors and venue staff so kindly--as he always does! That means so much! When David saw the dance floor start to empty, he started a conga line and by the end of it, the dance floor was full again. He took videos of our reception that I'm happy to have now! I will continue to recommend David just as I have for years. He is one of the best decisions I made!

We could not have found more talented and delightful DJs than Paige and Holly. They were so easy and fun to work with (hands down our favorite vendors) and they gave us such a joyful, perfect soundscape for our wedding. When we weren't sure what kind of music we wanted to play, Paige and Holly were both ready with suggestions and asked the perfect questions to get a feel for our music style. The questionnaire they shared with us was so helpful to me in getting an idea for how plan music at weddings and what decisions you want to think about along the way. Their warmth and energy were so comforting and uplifting to me as we planned everything (I'm a very anxious person and this made a HUGE difference to me 3). Holly and Paige both made us feel confident and supported in leaning in to our music preferences for all stages of the ceremony and reception, and they made everything so easy for us. We had so many friends and family tell us how much they loved the music and how well the songs blended together and flowed. I could not be happier that we had the privilege of working with these lovely humans and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s always so refreshing meeting a wedding vendor that truly just loves his job and genuinely wants the best for his clients. That was my first impression upon meeting Mark who will literally do whatever he can to turn your dance floor dreams to life. Mark really goes above and beyond for his clients and even offers to help plan your day outside of your music and lighting needs. He is willing to travel and will come as early as he can to setup and stay as late as he can to ensure that all of your lighting, speaker and music needs are met. Mark even came to our final walkthrough and helped advocate for us with our coordinator to make sure the caterer and venue were accommodating our requests. I can’t tell you how many people told my husband and I how much they loved our DJ after the wedding between his energy, playlist, all of the amazing uplifting he added in for the speeches, the dance party lights, and we received compliments about how friendly he was in the buffet line chatting with all of our guests. Mark is really the best out there and we hope we get to attend another wedding or event where Mark is the DJ as we really miss working with him already. Thank you for everything Mark- we appreciate you and your amazing work so so much!!

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!!

OBEHI THE DJ

Charlotte, NC
  • DJ
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

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.

Diana and Robby, Owners of A Bride’s DJ, feel especially qualified because they both like to celebrate more than the average human. Robby is willing to wear a costume for any reason. Having a themed event? He has dressed up & made announcements like a pirate. Arrr! We have a small team of DJs who have each performed at 100 to 1500 weddings. Our DJs extensive experience & training ensures a smooth planning experience for clients, excelling in communication, are ego-free (so you get what YOU want), detail-oriented, and most importantly…they actually mix the music.

DJ Chris and the whole team were a huge part of what made our wedding day so special. They will play exactly what you request, but are also very attentive to the vibe of the crowd and adjust accordingly—we had a full dance floor of all ages until the very last minute of our reception! Could not have asked for a better DJ experience from the seamlessness of the ceremony amplification to the gorgeously placed uplighting, to the dance floor party lights and of course the amazing music selection and mixing skills of DJ Chris!

Christopher, an attorney in NY- NJ and I, a Chiropractor in the Virgin Islands, are very busy with our careers. It was difficult planning a wedding, so we required vendors that are easy to work with. Mike always answered our emails and texts and returned phone calls ASAP. We reviewed different DJ's and selected Mike because we wanted Latin Caribbean music plus American music for our entertainment. We put together a last-minute wedding reception plan, we sent the recommendations to Mike, and he worked everything perfectly. He was able to get a feel for the crowd and put music together that worked perfectly. Mike put together a timeline that was perfect, and we were able to accommodate all aspects of our reception, which included lots of dancing. Choosing Mike was one of the best decisions in my wedding planning. Mike is easy to work with and very prompt in responding to questions. Mike is a DJ we would highly recommended. Thanks Mike.

Matt went above and beyond to make our wedding exactly what we hoped for and then some! From the start, he was personable and made an effort to get to know us as a couple and what our guests might look for, rather than making assumptions or working off a "templated plan." He was nonjudgmental and offered creative suggestions/solutions on matters we didn't think of or didn't know enough about. At the same time, he took into account every tiny/unusual request or detail we asked for. Countless guests commented on how skilled he was at reading the room and keeping the energy high all night... guests who otherwise don't dance or party at weddings were on the dance floor all night thanks to Matt! While we only hired him as a DJ, from what I understand he has since added on coordinator services, and he showcased those skills as well! He was more than just a DJ who shows up to play songs- he worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure a smooth flow. He kept us on schedule, moving things along just as we had imagined, while staying flexible with our whims throughout the night. He even checked in to make sure we had drinks, food, etc. as festivities went along. He is truly dedicated to his role, and his passion shines through, making our day even better than we could have ever imagined!

The Barnstorm is an NYC-based party rock wedding band, best known for their electric and engaging dance party receptions. It's been said they're "not a real wedding band," but rather "an incredibly fun and engaging band that just happens to absolutely rock weddings!" Whether it's today's hits, top 40, hip hop, classic rock, Motown, and all things in between, The Barnstorm can do it all - putting their own spin on everything they do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly, highly recommend the Barnstorm for a wedding or any event. We hired them for our wedding the last weekend of September 2019 in Montauk, and they absolutely put the night over the top! First and foremost, they are a great band; not your typical “wedding band”. They aren’t cookie cutter (i.e. you won’t hear them playing the same songs that you hear at every wedding) and they certainly aren’t stiff. They vibe off each other and the room. They are legitimately having a fun time performing with each other and that permeates throughout the room. Everyone will be up dancing, singing, drinking, and sweating their butts off, and having a blast! What to expect: -Professionalism. Brooks responds promptly and covers all bases. No detail will be overlooked during the planning stages. Day of, they get to the venue well ahead of time to sound check and make sure everything is sounding perfect. During the event, they are great at providing direction and making sure everything runs smoothly. -Personalization and flexibility. The guys truly care about making the event as special as possible and are very open to any idea to bring the event over the top. In addition to our “special request” songs (which they nailed) the band was incredibly gracious at my request to join them onstage to “surprise” my wife and guests by playing a song along with them. It could not have gone over any better…my wife was thrilled and it absolutely brought the house down! -Party! They know what will get everyone up and moving. Their catalogue of songs is well over 200 and it includes all decades and genres. Multiple guests commented that they didn’t want to leave the dance floor to get dessert or go to the bathroom because every song was such an amazing jam. The Barnstorm is absolutely worth every penny. We knew they were the right band for our wedding the first moment we heard them at Hill Country, and we feel so lucky and grateful to the guys for playing our wedding. On top of it all, my wife, friends, and I get to continue to relive that night by seeing their gigs throughout NYC! We simply cannot say enough great things about The Barnstorm.

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!

From the initial inquiry till the night of our reception, Monu and Maulin did everything they could to make sure the entire process would be as seamless as possible. Our reception was an unforgettable night for us! The dance floor was lit up the entire night and we honestly could have kept going for a few more hours with Monu playing all the right music.

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.

Reading, PA
  • DJ
  • Serves Raleigh, NC for additional fees

Known internationally for his family's reality TV show "Jon and Kate Plus 8", Jon Gosselin has had a passion for music before the paparazzi. Gosselin grew up listening to classic vinyl in Philly and hit the clubs as a teen so for him it is a natural transformation from a cable television star to in-demand open format DJ. Capitalizing on exposure of over 10 million viewers, Jon has been spreading his love for all types of music for all kinds of audiences: current pop and club hits, college party favorites and classic dance, rock and old school hip hop to round out his repertoire.

He is without a doubt, one of the best DJs. Reads a crowd and can music accordingly. His years on tv didn’t hurt either.
