DJ Stephen Downing 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Raleigh, NC

Hi, I’m Stephen. I’m a professional wedding DJ and musician with a PhD in Music Composition. I create weddings that feel fun, modern, and genuinely like you, with thoughtful music from the ceremony through the last song of the night.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Bunn DJ Company Virginia to DJ our 150-guest wedding. Frank was our DJ, and he did a wonderful job all day helping us to curate several different vibes for different parts of the evening. The online tools from Bunn DJ made curating and sharing a playlist of our favorite songs as well as what songs to use where (first dance, wedding party introductions, last dance, etc) a breeze as well as very user friendly. Frank was a great MC, and got 150 guests wrangled to several different rooms throughout the night between cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing (all in different parts of our venue)! He did a great job balancing songs for different age groups as well as when to let songs play out longer or mix into the next song more quickly if the crowd was not into it. He is a big reason our dance floor was packed all night long! We were very happy with Bunn DJ Company Virginia’s services and specifically Frank’s skill as a DJ. Also, if it is within your budget, get the club cannons. Firing those off on our dancefloor was pure electricity for the energy on the dancefloor!

I’ve been following and listening to Bill and Zita for about two years now, and I truly love the music they create together. Their voices complement each other beautifully. 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.

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!

Tyler Butler-Figueroa is a world-renowned violinist whose graceful performances inspire millions. A standout talent from America’s Got Talent, Tyler began his musical journey at age seven and has since performed for global leaders, including opening for former President George W. Bush.

Whether performing for intimate gatherings or large-scale events, Tyler’s emotive playing brings generations together, offering a sophisticated and unforgettable musical experience for your wedding celebration.

I had the pleasure of hiring Tyler for my son's promotion celebration, and I can say without hesitation he exceeded every expectation. His playing brings a sense of elegance and warmth to an event. What stood out for me most was his ability to read the room and create the perfect atmosphere. Whether providing beautiful background music or stepping forward with more expressive pieces , he always seemed to strike the ideal balance - never overpowering, but always enhancing the moment. He has a rare gift for making music feel personal and each performance is tailored specifically to the occasion. If you are looking for someone who is thoughtful, professional, along with incredible talent who will bring both artistry and a meaningful presence to your event, I highly recommend him.

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.

An amazing wedding day made even better thanks to Stylus SE. DJ Spencer was charismatic, entertaining, and brought great energy to the day. Very easy and enjoyable experience working with them.

Chris and his team did an amazing job. He communicated with us regularly in the planning phase and made sure he knew exactly what type of music and party we were wanting. His band nailed it. The jazz trio was perfect for the cocktail hour and then the minute they took it up a notch the dance floor was packed! Everyone had a blast and we could not be any happier that we chose Emerald Empire. Highly recommend!
