Additionally, he was always available to answer questions that my now-husband and I had. The ambiance he created at the reception area was perfect, and I can't take much credit for that. I told him our theme, and he knew exactly what to do. It was perfect. Lastly, when I told David I wanted to dance under the stars at the night's end, he made that happen.

Where do we even begin? Taylor, our DJ, didn't just meet our expectations, he absolutely obliterated them! He flew all the way from Charleston to Cabo for our wedding, and even when his nearest airport was shut down due to a snowstorm, he found a way to get to us. That level of dedication is simply unmatched. But it wasn't just his commitment that blew us away. From the moment he started, the energy was electric. Taylor's emcee skills are top-tier. He was hilarious, engaging, and kept the party going all night long. He even hosted an epic twerk-off contest, letting us, the bride and groom, crown the winners – it was a highlight of the night! What truly sets Taylor apart is his ability to handle anything that came his way with grace and positivity. Weddings are unpredictable, and Taylor navigated every unforeseen moment with a smile and a solution. He seamlessly managed the flow of the evening, ensuring everything ran smoothly and the dance floor was always packed. More than just a DJ, Taylor has become a dear friend.

"Raging dance party" is Maskell's style on the turntables; always beatmatching, mixing, and reading the crowd, while amplifying the atmosphere with a substantial, coordinated lighting show. Flat, all-inclusive rates. Huge lightshow included free. No travel fee up to 12hrs from DC when practical.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mark Maskell was absolutely incredible. Even though we had an all-inclusive venue, he was my one non-negotiable outside vendor from the very beginning. As someone who has been to a million weddings and genuinely loves music and going out, I hate cheesy wedding music and forced line dancing. Mark was the only DJ whose bio openly said that if you are looking for that vibe, he is not the DJ for you. That honesty alone sold me. From the start, Mark went far above and beyond what was included in our contract. He spent countless hours helping us curate our wedding timeline, reviewing my very Type A spreadsheets, and offering thoughtful guidance. He honestly felt more like a second wedding planner than just a DJ during the planning process. And the lights. The lighting setup and light show were unreal and completely elevated the entire experience. Mark truly curates the music and the atmosphere to you as a couple, not just a generic wedding crowd. On top of all that, he is just a genuinely wonderful human. Easy to connect with, great dark humor, ADHD energy that matched ours perfectly. He is someone I would happily hang out with on a random Tuesday. Our dance floor vibes were immaculate, and we were the only wedding I have ever attended that did not have a single technical issue on the DJ’s end. Truly flawless execution. 10/10 would recommend to literally anyone who wants their wedding to feel intentional, fun, and actually cool.

There are not words to describe how much we loved having DJ Krystyle perform at our Aug 2024 wedding. She was very responsive, communicative, and has a super easy online portal that helps capture every detail you could think of for the event music. She’s also a lovely human in general to work with. We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

We received lots of compliments about our wedding, but our DJ was hands down the most complimented part. Like by a lot. I remember someone said “Lily. Your DJ is 100 out of 10.” and our venue coordinator (who has seen a lot of weddings) was like “Seriously, where did you find this guy?” and said they need to add him to their list of recommended DJs. I also had multiple guests ask if he was single… From the ceremony music and microphones, to the cocktail hour musical ambiance, to the first dance and speeches, Obehi was locked in and working the room to make sure everything went smoothly and ensure everyone was having a great time. He had all kinds of fancy equipment and was there early with bells on to get it all set up. It was all seamless with zero hiccups. He was out on the dance floor hyping people up, dancing, and just giving 110% all night long. Obehi is one heck of a DJ. I saw family members who I haven’t seen crack a smile in a decade busting moves on the dance floor. Obehi gets the people going. There’s no doubt about that. That being said, he’s also a really lovely human and we loved having him there as a part of our wedding. You can tell he loves what he does and loves people. He was genuine, warm, and kind every step of the way. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding and made us feel like it was his life’s purpose to get every detail perfect for us. And he delivered 1000%. Best choice we made for our wedding. Worth every single penny!!!

Upstate Strings Trio 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Newport, NC

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Upstate Strings Trio is a wedding music company that is sure to create a delightful soundtrack to your day. This group has performed at over 300 weddings throughout the last eleven years. Jada, the owner, graduated from Furman University with a music degree. I currently freelance all over NC and SC and stay home to care for my beautiful infant daughter! Services Offered: We can provide live music for any occasion. Our instruments can include violin, viola and cello, harp, guitar and piano for ceremony and/or cocktail hour and piano, saxophone, upright bass, and guitar for reception and/or cocktail hour.

Upstate Strings was absolutely amazing! Having live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour elevated the entire experience and made everything feel so elegant and timeless. They played a mix of Bridgerton-style covers for the cocktail hour that our guests loved, and for my walk down the aisle, they performed an Ed Sheeran song that was special to us — it was the song playing the first time we met. Because they were live, they were able to time everything perfectly, and the transitions felt so natural and emotional. So many guests commented on how classy and beautiful the music was. I can’t recommend them enough!

Sam Hill Entertainment 
Rating: 4.3 (6 reviews)
  • Band/dj
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Newport, NC

Sam Hill Entertainment is based out of Charlottesville, VA with bands located throughout the Southeast. Over the last 25 years, Sam Hill has helped tens of thousands of brides and grooms book the best in live music across the 50 states and for fly-in international weddings! Our bands cover Top 40 hits, fiery versions of Soul, smooth versions of Motown, elegant jazz classics, toe-tapping bluegrass, and country - it all exists among the performers we work with!

We cannot say enough great things about booking The Lone Rangers with Sam Hill Entertainment. Booking them for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From the very first song to the last, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. Nearly every guest was on the dance floor at one point during the night, and they truly kept the party going. My new father-in-law was, and is still, talking about how amazing the band was. They completely brought the reception to life. Leading up to the wedding, the band leader, Nate, was incredibly communicative and easy to work with, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, they were phenomenal across the board. The piano music during our ceremony was beautiful and set the perfect tone, and they did an excellent job MC-ing the reception. One of our favorite moments was how engaged the female singer was with the crowd. She brought so much fun energy and made a point to involve many of the kids and teenagers throughout the night, which was such a hit and made everyone feel included. It added an extra layer of joy and made the celebration even more memorable. Working with Sam Hill Entertainment was a pleasure and they make the process of booking a great band for your wedding very straightforward and smooth!

We hired DJ Kelz & The Party Gang for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our choice. From day one, their communication was quick and straightforward, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. What really impressed us was how they went above and beyond on the actual day—since we didn't have a coordinator, DJ Kelz took charge and helped move tables and chairs, directing other vendors on where to set up. His professionalism kept everything running on schedule while his energy behind the decks kept our guests dancing all night. The music selection was upbeat and fun, creating the exact vibe we wanted for our celebration. We'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a DJ who truly cares about making their day special.
