Joseph introduced himself to us BEFORE asking for any deposits or contract signatures. He listened to what we were looking for and worked with us to get the best playlist for the age range of our guests. One 19 year old, several in their 50's and the rest in their early 70's. More slow dances than fast. He also helped out the caterer and served iced tea when he saw the pitchers were empty! He even stayed after the reception had ended and helped clear tables. Joseph was fun and on top of everything. He even helped our photographer get some amazing shots (ours was her first wedding).

We had a phenomenal experience with Mark Toney from Bunn DJ Company— we truly couldn’t have asked for better for our wedding! From our very first conversation, he totally understood our music taste. We felt like he read our minds — every song choice felt personal and perfectly timed. He came incredibly well prepared, bringing not just his gear, but also a clear game plan that showed he genuinely cared about making our night unforgettable. The best part? He had people on the dance floor within minutes. And they didn’t leave! From the first dance to the final song, he kept the energy high, the transitions seamless, and the vibe absolutely electric. We had so many guests come up to us throughout the night and after the wedding to say how amazing Mark was. They loved the mix, the pacing, and how he kept everyone — from our youngest nephews to our parents’ friends — engaged and dancing. On top of it all, he was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and just a genuinely kind, joyful presence to have at our celebration. If you’re looking for someone who will listen, deliver, and create the kind of dance floor memories you’ll talk about for years — Mark is your DJ.

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.

Stylus S.E. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! They had great communication throughout the planning process, always responding promptly to our questions and keeping us updated. On the day of, their work was excellent - they kept the dance floor packed all night with an energetic and fun vibe. Spencer, our DJ, was absolutely amazing. He was prompt, energetic, and kind, and just incredible overall. We're so glad we chose Stylus S.E. and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch wedding bands and DJs.

It would be waaaay easier to describe what I did NOT like about working with DJG Music and Entertaining than what I DID like. Simply put, I do not know of ONE single thing negative to say about George. He knows his stuff!! He kept our wedding guests entertained, active, and happy!! He was punctual (early even), excellently prepared, and just an all out awesome DJ. Not to mention THE most reasonable DJ we checked out!! If you find yourself in need of a DJ service, you will be doing yourself a DISservice if you don't contact George!!

DJ Stephen Downing

  • Serves Durham, 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!

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.”

It's a real pleasure to photograph weddings where Discoboxx is the DJ because we know folks are going to be dancing.

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 harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.
