Marty Nightengale - Premier Wedding DJ & Host

Rating: 5.0 (95 reviews)

“From the very first meeting, we could tell Marty was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited to make our day special. He helped us plan out music for each part of the day, made suggestions, and took all our requests on board. Marty's ability to read a dance floor is second to none. From our grandparents to our college friends, he made sure there was something for everyone. The sound quality was fantastic, the transitions between songs were excellent, and the lighting equipment he provides is outstanding. We received so many comments from guests afterward about how much they loved Marty's work! His energy and enthusiasm for what he does is nothing short of extraordinary and something we were truly thankful for! If you’re looking for a DJ with serious talent and a perfect Pitbull impression, Marty is your guy!”

“We hired Ralph Bracamonte for our super non-traditional wedding, he absolutely CRUSHED it. Great communication, flexibility, and insight into helping us plan - and outstanding delivery on the day-of. Great MC (without being too much) and did an awesome job of reading the room and keeping the dance floor poppin. He's seriously talented far beyond just slapping on a playlist - let this man cook!”

“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.”

CWDJ - Luxury Wedding DJ

Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)

“Frankie was phenomenal!! The ceremony music, dance songs, and other important songs were exactly as we imagined! And everything flowed so smoothly from one dance to the next. The cocktail and dinner music was perfect and the dance floor was packed and overflowing all night, from the moment it opened to the very last song!! Frankie even brought the party right back when we had not one but two pauses in the dancing because the groom had lost his ring and there was a false alarm that it was found (he had taken it off to wash his hands). We heard all of our must plays that we knew would be big hits with our guests and also had some importance to us. Frankie knew exactly what to play for all the other songs and followed the crowds energy perfectly. I might be a little biased, but it was the most fun dance floor of any wedding I’ve ever been to. I could not recommend him more!!”

After being in the music industry as a recording artist, working for many of the biggest DJ companies in Raleigh and being a morning show radio host in Raleigh for six years, I decided to create my own award winning wedding entertainment company where you can get personalized luxury DJ services.

“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 Violinist

Rating: 5.0 (1 review)

“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.”

Rating: 4.5 (124 reviews)

“My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.”
