Marty was a PHENOMENAL DJ for my recent North Carolina wedding. His friendliness, attention to detail and flexibility to our musical preferences all stood out in both our initial meeting and the reception party. Not only was he well-organized in how to build out his playlists for the reception alongside our input, but his audio setup worked perfectly for the ceremony and provided great sound for every step of the day. Some of the best value possible if you're in the market for a DJ...and it's because Marty goes above and beyond in all aspects!

DJ Frank is the man. We are beyond thankful that he was our DJ for our wedding. We first experienced Frank at a friend’s wedding and knew right then that we had to have him for ours, and he absolutely delivered. Frank brings such incredible energy to the room, but never overpowers it. He’s as professional and easy to work with as they come. Leading up to the big day, he took the time to really get to know us and understand our music preferences, which made all the difference. We were pretty specific about not wanting the typical, overplayed wedding songs or line dances, and Frank pulled off an amazing party without any of those. The music matched our taste perfectly and kept the dance floor packed all night long, seriously, no one left! We can’t recommend DJ Frank highly enough. He knows how to read the crowd, set the perfect tone, and make your celebration unforgettable. If you want a DJ who’s professional, thoughtful, and knows how to throw an incredible party, look no further.

Stylus S.E.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves Knightdale, 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!

DJ Kash

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Knightdale, NC

DJ Kash is a professional wedding DJ & MC with 15+ years of experience creating seamless, high-energy celebrations across North Carolina and beyond. He specializes in South-Asian, Middle-Eastern, multicultural and fusion weddings, blending music across cultures and generations in a way that feels natural and inclusive. Known for his calm presence, thoughtful planning, smooth MC-skills and live mixing, DJ Kash focuses on smooth flow, great vibes, and unforgettable dance floors. Every event is approached with care, professionalism, and genuine attention to detail. Spreading good-vibes, 1 event at a time. www . djkashNC . com

DJ Kashif was the DJ for the mehndi of my multi-cultural (Pakistani and Palestinian) wedding. Naturally, for a mixed Desi and Arab wedding, it's always a point of concern to make sure people from both cultures are enjoying the music and having a good time throughout the event. DJ Kashif did a fantastic job in his song selection for the event. Attendees of the event had absolutely no complaints about the music (which is extremely impressive for mixed weddings) and had everyone on the dance floor. He was able to play mehndi mixes that were brought last minute with zero issue, and had a great personality for livening up the crowd. The uplighting that he brought for the dancefloor completely changed the mood and got everyone reenergized too! For the venue we were at, he was able to fix issues related to the light/power going out quickly and was able to change the lighting too. Truly, from start to finish he did a great job and I only wish I found him earlier to DJ at the other events too.

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).

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.

Even after a year, we're still so grateful for how Stephen showed up for our wedding. If you're looking for a DJ, you cannot go wrong with the magic & energy he brings! From our first call with Stephen, we knew that he was dedicated to our vision, and we really appreciated his flexibility throughout the process. His package pricing was customizable to meet the needs of our budget, and his organizing tools allowed us to adjust our timeline / songs / requests as we continued throughout the wedding planning process. He also provided some helpful tips for timeline and setup based on his substantial experience with weddings! He created a song list for dinner and cocktail hour that we absolutely loved and was exactly what we were looking for, and we’ve been listening to it regularly even since the wedding! And multiple guests came up to us during the wedding to say how much they were enjoying the music. Even though we had a smaller wedding, he did a great job of reading guests’ energy and there were always people having a good time on the dance floor! As a queer couple looking for a DJ to set a tone of celebration and queer joy for the evening, working with Stephen was honestly such a gift. We would absolutely recommend him as a DJ for any event!

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!
