Best DJ ever! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience than we had with Marty. His communication was great from the start, he understood exactly what we wanted with our music and kept the dance floor going all night. As a bride who does not dance, I know it was extra hard to keep the dance floor bumping but Marty did!

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

I immediately knew I wanted to book him. Our Pakistani wedding was mixed with amazing mash ups from American Pop, Bollywood / Punjabi hits and traditional Pakistani songs ....just as requested! Our family absolutely enjoyed every bit of the events. Kashif is extremely responsive and patient and will craft the perfect playlist and flow of events for your special day. During the event, he kept the dance floor busy and everyone enjoyed his work. When I had some issues with wedding logistics at my end he quickly adjusted our timelines for a super smooth flow. This was probably the most remarkable thing I noticed about Dj Kash. When i was stressed he helped me keep the crowd busy and told me he would handle everything to ensure everything goes smoothly. And THAT made all the difference, he cared about the event just as much as we did! He truly made our night unforgettable and I cannot emphasize how polite, nice and accommodating he was. He made us feel SO comfortable and confident that we were going to have the best night of our life. and we sure did!

Joey's DJ Service 
Rating: 4.9 (14 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Franklinton, NC

I am DJ Joey B, owner of Joey’s DJ Service based in Durham, NC. I have been DJing professionally since 2005, with weddings as a major focus of my work. On your wedding day, I serve as both DJ and Master of Ceremonies, guiding the timeline, managing transitions, and keeping guests engaged from ceremony through the final song. I provide professional sound, wireless microphones, and clean lighting to support the full experience. Planning is clear and streamlined with an online portal for music selections, Do Not Play songs, and key details.

Awarded Best of Zola
Joey’s DJ Service was an excellent choice for our Durham, NC wedding! Joey was so kind and friendly from the jump, and we liked and trusted him starting from our consultation call at the beginning of planning our event. Even at that early stage, Joey was already advocating for us to have the wedding we wanted, sharing tips on how to structure the day so we were able to set aside time for private moments of introvert connection during a very social, family-focused event. We ended up booking him to provide music for our entire wedding day, from pre-ceremony music (played while guests were arriving and taking their seats) through the ceremony (including microphones for the officiant and groom) through cocktail hour, dinner, special dances and toasts, and the dance party portion of the reception. Joey’s attention to detail, including making sure he knew which specific versions of the songs we requested we wanted to play, and which music lined up with specific points in the schedule of events, was unmatched. Joey’s client portal made it easy to share our music choices for all these different parts of our big day. He paid close attention to our playlists/requests for the dance party while also mixing in some of his own selections, reading the room and ensuring everyone had something to dance to; this was especially impressive given that our guests ranged in age from infants to octogenarians! He was also sensitive to the nuances of a big family gathering: My dad and I don’t have a close relationship, so my mom and I did a mother-daughter dance in place of the traditional father-daughter one. When my dad put in a song request later in the evening, telling Joey he intended to ask me to dance with him to that song, Joey pulled me aside to make sure it was okay first before honoring the request. My new husband and I loved working with Joey’s DJ Service for our wedding, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this seasoned professional to anyone planning a special event.

DJ Stephen Downing

  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Franklinton, 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.

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!
