From our very first meeting with RocThaSpot Events, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication throughout the planning process was proactive, detail-oriented and incredibly effective. On the day of our wedding, they exceeded all of our expectations - it was a true one-stop shop with them running the photo booth, special effects like cold sparklers and clouds on the dance floor. Not only did they keep our guests engaged and the party going all night, but we felt like family from start to finish. The quality of their work and professionalism was nothing short of excellence. All of our guests are still raving about the incredible experience RocThaSpot Events provided on our special day.

Stylus S.E. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Durham, 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.

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.

DJ Stephen did our wedding in September 2025 and we couldn't recommend him enough! When looking for a wedding DJ we wanted someone who was queer friendly and had great taste in music and Stephen exceeded all expectations. Stephen was so friendly, professional, super easy to work with and really listened to our music vision and vibe that we wanted to create. He arrived early to set up the sound system for the ceremony and all of his equipment (mics, speakers, lights) worked great throughout the night. The music selection was fantastic and kept everyone dancing all night long. We appreciated that he didn't rely on the same overplayed wedding songs but mixed it up in line with our tastes. We absolutely would recommend DJ Stephen to all of our friends!

I started Discoboxx in 2022 to bring a more stylish and tasteful approach to weddings and events in North Carolina.

A wedding DJ company for couples not looking for a “wedding DJ.”

We hired Ralph Bracamonte for our super non-traditional wedding, he absolutely CRUSHED it. Great communication, flexibility, and insight into helping us plan - and outstanding delivery on the day-of. Great MC (without being too much) and did an awesome job of reading the room and keeping the dance floor poppin. He's seriously talented far beyond just slapping on a playlist - let this man cook!

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!!!

He played all the songs we sent to him and even let my 7 year old nephew stand on the speaker and sing his little heart out with a microphone. Thank you Austin!

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!

The live musician team has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. They provide me and my clients with any type of musician requested — from ceremony to cocktail hour and beyond. Their response time is incredibly fast, and their knowledge of music and event flow is outstanding. Tara, who runs the team, is truly the best. She works extremely hard, can find any musician I need, and consistently responds in under five minutes. As an entertainer myself, having a reliable and organized music team is everything — and my clients absolutely love her musicians. They always arrive on time, are professional, and execute exactly what the bride and groom envision, flawlessly.

Victor and his team were amazing! His team made it so easy to get songs sorted and added to the portal. Victor helped make my first dance mix for my dad and I to do a choreographed number. The photo booth was amazing- from the speed, props, photo strip layouts, all of it was perfect. We even had people make video messages through the photobooth and that was icing on the cake.
