Where do I even start? Marty is just the best. Planning a wedding by myself was very stressful. I am from a Persian background, and I wanted to have an American wedding while also implementing my culture. From the moment that I spoke with Marty, I knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He has a calming and reassuring energy that not only assured me we could get any type of music we like, but he helped me plan my entire timeline. Every single time I had a concern, he would have a solution. He used an app that allowed me to add the music I wanted, including Persian music. At our walk-through, he worked with our other vendors to make sure the layout was perfect for us on our wedding day. Then finally on the wedding day we got to see how great he really is. He was checking in and helping keep us on schedule. When we got to the dance floor he mixed Persian music with American songs so perfectly that there was not a single person sitting down. It was so awesome seeing all of my relatives and all of my husband’s family dance together. And there is no way this could have been possible without Marty Nightengale! Everybody loved him, and I would hire him again and again and again.

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

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.

In a word, Stylus is AMAZING! I didn’t want the night to end as the DJ was amazing, but it wasn’t just the party that was so impressive! There were changes that occurred both before and during event and Stylus handled each and every one! They were personable, energetic, professional and attentive. They made the night so special via the music and the mic work! I can’t recommend them enough!

DJ Stephen Downing

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Carrboro, NC

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.

Honestly, I would love to be friends with Stephen Downing! I loved his vibe from the beginning, and my husband and I are so glad to have booked him for our wedding in November 2025! Stephen was easy to work with from the beginning. We had a quick phone call at the inception of planning to get a rough outline of what we were looking for. Stephen provided a handy shared document for us to brainstorm the ceremony and reception music from the start of the day to the end! I was a very DIY bride, so I’m so thankful that he shared this document with us early so that I could get to work! Not only did Stephen play our favorite tunes on the dance floor, but he also announced for our whole reception and provided the setup for our ceremony. His setup is impressive and made complete by some extremely fun dance floor lighting. Honestly, working with Stephen made my wedding planning a breeze. I didn’t have to think about the actual flow of the night at all. He has weddings down to a science, taking into consideration every part of the day to make sure the vibe is always right! If my husband and I could get married again, we would absolutely pick Stephen Downing! I wish our reception could have lasted forever. I’m still wishing to get back on that dance floor with all of our friends! Thank you, Stephen, for the most magical night!

Their repertoire includes both oldies and newer music, and Zita’s voice is reminiscent of Barbra Streisand. When she sings songs from Phantom, it’s absolutely amazing—her range and vocal quality are extraordinary. Bill’s voice blends seamlessly with hers, making so many of their performances especially memorable.

We cannot recommend DJ Ones and Erick enough! From the beginning of working together, Erick made sure to check in with us about our preferences and was incredibly understanding of our requests. He was patient, professional, and collaborative, all things we really valued in our experience leading up to our wedding day. When it came to our actual wedding day, there aren't enough kind words to express how much we enjoyed having Erick and his team around! 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. Every single song, every single second, was full of life and perfectly tailored to our party's vibe. To say Erick was the kindest and easiest to work with would be an understatement. We cannot thank him and the rest of the DJ Ones team enough for all their work to make our wedding day the best day of our lives!!!

After being in the music industry as a recording artist, working for many of the biggest DJ companies in Raleigh and being a morning show radio host in Raleigh for six years, I decided to create my own award winning wedding entertainment company where you can get personalized luxury DJ services. We now have over 85 amazing five star reviews on google from past brides and we’re fully insured.

Frankie was phenomenal!! The ceremony music, dance songs, and other important songs were exactly as we imagined! And everything flowed so smoothly from one dance to the next. The cocktail and dinner music was perfect and the dance floor was packed and overflowing all night, from the moment it opened to the very last song!! Frankie even brought the party right back when we had not one but two pauses in the dancing because the groom had lost his ring and there was a false alarm that it was found (he had taken it off to wash his hands). We heard all of our must plays that we knew would be big hits with our guests and also had some importance to us. Frankie knew exactly what to play for all the other songs and followed the crowds energy perfectly. I might be a little biased, but it was the most fun dance floor of any wedding I’ve ever been to. I could not recommend him more!!

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. He's so personable, everyone loved him - we're all transplants from NJ/ NY and turns out he's practically related to at least one of my family. For sure, would recommend him!
