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!

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding day! From start to finish, he was personable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. A few days before the big day, he gave us a call just to make sure we were aligned on the vibe we wanted—and he nailed it! He created a beautiful atmosphere with special touches like uplighting and the “dancing on clouds” effect for our first dance, which made the moment feel magical. The music was a perfect blend of gospel, 90s reggae and R&B, soca, and more—exactly what we were hoping for. What we appreciated most was his professionalism paired with a warm and easygoing personality. He truly cared about making our day special and it showed. If you're looking for someone who will bring the right energy, keep the event flowing smoothly, and offer unforgettable enhancements, he’s the one. Highly recommended!

Bill & Zita is a professional vocal duo based in the Raleigh-Durham area, specializing in high-quality, versatile live entertainment.

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. 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!

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.

Jason and his gang will NOT disappoint!! We have used his services TWICE, for my 60th Birthday/Surprise Engagement and our wedding. The dance floor was ALWAYS hopping. Jason is available to answer questions in a timely and sincere fashion. He is very fair with is his pricing. Stylus will ALWAYS be our "go to" when we need a DJ. Our guests for both events commented how much they enjoyed Stylus Events!!

Hi there! I’m Emily, a violinist with over 25 years of experience sharing music at weddings, parties, corporate events, and special gatherings of all kinds. I truly love helping people celebrate life’s moments with music that feels personal, heartfelt, and memorable. After years of performing and training in New York City, I now enjoy performing across a variety of musical groups and states. Music has always been part of my family’s story for generations, and sharing that joy with others is one of my greatest passions.

We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better wedding violinist. From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and honestly just beautiful. Emily showed up right on time (actually early, which we loved), was super organized, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. The music itself was incredible, so elegant and perfectly played. It really set the tone for the ceremony and added such a warm, emotional vibe that a lot of our guests commented on afterward. You could feel the care and passion in every note. Beyond the talent, she just brought such a calm, positive energy that made a big difference on a day that can feel a little hectic. Total pro, amazing musician, and genuinely great to work with. We’d 100% hire Emily again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!
