Almost 4 months married and our friends still ask us about the best DJ ever, Marty Nightingale!! Marty is the best! We can't imagine our wedding day without Marty DJ'ing and MC'ing our event. He handled all audio from welcome drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and nailed it at every stage. He set the vibe for each phase of the evening, and when it is time to dance, he brings the energy and gets the crowd going. He's great at reading the room and giving the dance floor what it needs. Besides throwing an amazing party, Marty was awesome to work with. He's personable and thorough. He was very attentive throughout the whole planning process and together we prepared everything from the general flow and vibe of the night down to the smaller details. He let us be involved as much or as little as we wanted. We don't know of a better wedding DJ. Maybe we're biased because he was our wedding DJ, but we don't think so.

James was the DJ for my wedding just two weeks ago! Going into the planning process, I knew Born to DJ because James also did my sister's wedding. He is one of the only DJ's I know that constantly reads the crowd. If he can tell people aren't liking a song, he will change it to keep everything lively. I wanted my wedding day to be a huge party, and I really wanted people dancing for the majority of it. That is not an easy thing to do but I have seen James keep people dancing and engaged at my sister's wedding and now mine. The planning couldn't have been easier, and I always felt reassured after speaking with him. Born to DJ couldn't have done better and I highly HIGHLY recommend them.

I don’t have enough good things to say about DJ Obehi! As a professional dancer, obviously I’m a firm believer that the DJ can make or break a dance floor, and DJ Obehi absolutely MADE IT!

The whole process of booking with him was so smooth and easy, and he definitely has an amazing reputation out there - even the ABC license people had heard of him and told me he was the best and they were jealous!

Atlantic Premier Entertainment puts all the focus on the wedding couple before the wedding and on the wedding day. The experienced entertainers meet with couples during a consultation to discuss the playlist, including songs to play and songs not to play. The day of the wedding, they provide microphones, a quality sound system, dance floor lighting with options for uplighting, premium sound system upgrades specialty lighting, custom music mixes for special dances, and much more. There are bilingual services available, if needed. Our DJ's read your crowd and deliver an EXCEPTIONAL experience that will truly wow you and your guests.

We were thrilled by the wonderful service we received from Atlantic Premiere Entertainment from first contact throughout the actual event. For a couple that is music- and budget-conscious, you should absolutely reach out to Eric and his team. He's the perfect blend of personable and professional, quick to respond and very easy to work with! On the big day, Eric and his helper brought skills to keep the dance floor bustling, worked with my photographers to provide a snow machine so we could have the perfect winter wedding photos we dreamed of - even in North Carolina - and, even more impressive, was his expertise in modulating and looping our processional music . Working on the fly, he made sure that we still got the stunning entrances we planned, when our bridal party didn't get down the aisle in the time we'd rehearsed.

We booked DJ Slide for a block party/birthday party. He came to my house, set up in about an hour and started cranking the music. His set up was above and beyond what I expected. The speakers were loud, and he had laser lights!!! Slide had everyone in the street dancing, everyone had the best time!! We will be booking him again for a November block party. By far the best DJ I have seen.
