Danamare Productions Mobile DJ & Karaoke 
Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Carolina Beach, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $749

I started DJing back during my college years at Penn State in 1982. In the beginning, I was helping a friend of mine who bought a complete DJ setup from a business who was selling one of their systems. We did frat parties, formals & some of the local State College bars. After college I moved to Binghamton, NY. There I had a six month radio show on a public station. I also worked some of the local bars under the name Sounds Fantastic. Fast forward to January of 2000 we moved to Raleigh,NC to bring our musical experience to the south!

Danamare Productions Mobile DJ & Karaoke was a fantastic choice for our wedding entertainment. From the start, Dan had a direct and easy communication style that made working with him a breeze. He was incredibly helpful, easy to work with, and delivered exactly what we needed for our special day. We had several special music requests for different parts of the wedding, and Dan handled them all without any mistakes. The music and energy he brought to the dance floor kept our guests entertained all night long. We would absolutely love to work with Dan and Danamare Productions again in the future. HIRE HIM!

When I say top tier, I mean top tier! We used AAM Entertainment Group for our wedding, and they absolutely did not disappoint.

The photobooth was incredible — the images were crystal clear, guests received their photos instantly, and we have access to the full album to relive the fun. It kept everyone entertained and gave us the sweetest memories to look back on. Communication was also top-notch.

HIRE ALLURE BLOOM IMMEDIATELY! This team was the best vendor duo I have ever worked with. We came to them 1 month before our wedding day and they were happy to take us under their wing so last minute :) They were responsive, easy to work with, and great at communicating. They adjusted certain items to fit within our budget, while still maintaining the vision we had in mind! I cannot recommend them enough. I was quite literally brought to tears on my wedding day when I saw what they had brought to life. It was beyond what I could have ever imagined and I am SO happy we found them when we did! The florals they created were beautiful, and I still have guests inquiring about who my florist was! They provided us with bridal/bridesmaids bouquets, table arrangements, bar arrangements, floating candles, and an arbor that was the most STUNNING backdrop for our ceremony. They provided helpful tips and suggestions to implement other elements into our design and I am so happy they did! We ended up incorporating fruits into some of our tables schemes and it was SO CUTE. The colors blended perfectly with our vision and venue. The two of them have immense talent and I feel so lucky that they were available on our wedding day. The whole day was brought together by the design/florals they put together and it made my wedding more perfect than I could have wished for! Thank you so much :)

Kevin Martin has been THE Wedding Officiant & Minister for Wilmington, NC, Bald Head Island, Emerald Isle, The Beaufort Hotel, Topsail Island, St. James, Carolina Beach, Fort Fisher, Kure Beach, Oak Island & Beyond. ​ Officiating over 600+ Ceremonies in two-decades, Kevin has been entrusted to serve the most intimate of Beach & Home Weddings, to premium Affairs for notable Sporting & Film Professionals alike.

We actually met Kevin at a friend's wedding and after hearing him officiate their ceremony, we knew we had to have him at ours because he's that good. From day one, his communication was fun and energetic, and he really took the time to get to know us through FaceTime calls before the big day. He'd ask us real-life examples of our love story so he could weave them into the ceremony in a way that felt genuine and heartfelt. Kevin puts his heart and soul into his work, and it showed in every word he spoke during our ceremony. We're still friends with him to this day and keep up with each other, which says everything about the kind of person he is. If you want an officiant who cares about making your ceremony meaningful and memorable, Kevin is your guy.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience working with Jade Events and Co. Kayla was our day of coordinator (which really was like month-of assistance plus day-of coordination). From our first conversation, she gave great guidance, was very organized and thoughtful. Even though I was pretty organized myself, I was constantly worried about missing something obvious because wedding planning was so foreign to me. She helped talk through our random questions and find solutions (including on the day). She seemed a little quiet/nervous handling some of our more bold family members but ultimately did well! Kayla also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. She was kind and overall a delight to work with!

We used Misty Lynn for our wedding photography on 4/30/26 at Belle Vue Wilmington, and we couldn’t be happier with our pictures. From the very first time I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, kind, and generous—she even offered referrals for other vendors we still needed. As the wedding got closer, she checked in to confirm details and arrival time, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the day of, she made a point to make eye contact with me as soon as she arrived so I knew she was there and getting set up. I’ve never enjoyed taking pictures, but Misty’s fun, laid‑back vibe made the entire experience surprisingly enjoyable. We were told to expect about a two‑month turnaround, but we received our full gallery earlier than expected—and she even sent sneak peeks later that same night. The value of what we received for the price was phenomenal. I highly recommend Misty to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and truly wonderful to work with.

We’ve been using Justina as our photographer since we got engaged. I knew she was featured at the best family photographer in Wilmington, and even before kids, I loved her style so much that I knew I just had to have her! She has been capturing moments for our family for the past 4 years, and I always recommend her to everyone I talk to (although hesitantly - sometimes I selfishly want to keep her all to myself). I couldn’t imagine a better photographer for our wedding. She accommodated every single request, knew what I needed before I even knew what I wanted, and sometimes has few a secret spots up her sleeve. She had a vision that exceeded my expectations, all while capturing all of my requests - every single time. I cherish all of the sweet moments she was able to capture, including the precious time with my mother getting dressed, the first look with my husband, the tears in my eyes as we read our vows, my bridesmaids bowing their heads during prayer, my uncle choking up as he expressed how words cannot describe how much we miss my father, the pure bliss displayed by my mother-in-law as she danced with my husband, not to mention all the surprises I didn’t notice until viewing the photos - our friends on the dance floor, the kids who made funny faces during dinner, the friends who passed out on chairs because they didn’t want to miss out on the fun. I could go on and on. These things don’t happen by accident, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

Chris Zachary was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. We knew he was the perfect choice for us just a few minutes into our initial conversation. Chris is professional, easy to work with, and an awesome person. He set a relaxed tone for our day and that was exactly what we were looking for. He captured so many special moments and details throughout our wedding day & night. The preview photos are so stunning and we cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding photos!
