Almost 4 months married and our friends still ask us about the best DJ ever, Marty Nightingale!! Marty is the best! We can't imagine our wedding day without Marty DJ'ing and MC'ing our event. He handled all audio from welcome drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and nailed it at every stage. He set the vibe for each phase of the evening, and when it is time to dance, he brings the energy and gets the crowd going. He's great at reading the room and giving the dance floor what it needs. Besides throwing an amazing party, Marty was awesome to work with. He's personable and thorough. He was very attentive throughout the whole planning process and together we prepared everything from the general flow and vibe of the night down to the smaller details. He let us be involved as much or as little as we wanted. We don't know of a better wedding DJ. Maybe we're biased because he was our wedding DJ, but we don't think so. Marty is THE guy for your wedding!

Stylus S.E. 
Rating: 5.0 (21 reviews)
Apex, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695

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!

Hi, I’m Stephen. I’m a professional wedding DJ and musician with a PhD in Music Composition. I help couples create weddings that feel fun, modern, and genuinely them. You won’t get a cookie-cutter playlist or a DJ who just presses play. You get a thoughtfully curated soundtrack that reflects your style, your people, and the energy you want at every moment. From the ceremony to the last song of the night, I focus on making your wedding feel welcoming, inclusive, and unforgettable. The goal is simple. You and your guests have the best time possible.

Even after a year, we're still so grateful for how Stephen showed up for our wedding. If you're looking for a DJ, you cannot go wrong with the magic & energy he brings! From our first call with Stephen, we knew that he was dedicated to our vision, and we really appreciated his flexibility throughout the process. His package pricing was customizable to meet the needs of our budget, and his organizing tools allowed us to adjust our timeline / songs / requests as we continued throughout the wedding planning process. He also provided some helpful tips for timeline and setup based on his substantial experience with weddings! He created a song list for dinner and cocktail hour that we absolutely loved and was exactly what we were looking for, and we’ve been listening to it regularly even since the wedding! And multiple guests came up to us during the wedding to say how much they were enjoying the music. Even though we had a smaller wedding, he did a great job of reading guests’ energy and there were always people having a good time on the dance floor! As a queer couple looking for a DJ to set a tone of celebration and queer joy for the evening, working with Stephen was honestly such a gift. We would absolutely recommend him as a DJ for any event!

He was expertly flexible when it came to our ceremony and cocktail hour setup as we bounced back and forth on our rain plan within minutes of our ceremony start time. And my goodness, the dance floor! Our group is full of dancers from every part of our lives, and we have never heard so many compliments as we had for Erick from our friends and family.

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.

Our musicians typically hold advanced degrees in music and care genuinely about bringing you the beauty of live performance!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic!
