Awarded Best of Zola
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

Bunn DJ Company specializes in all types of events, including weddings, corporate events, private parties and school / college events. We have a staff of 20 professional, mobile DJs covering North Carolina.

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!

Bill & Zita is a professional vocal duo based in the Raleigh-Durham area, specializing in high-quality, versatile live entertainment. The duo features the collaborative talents that bring a sophisticated and engaging atmosphere to weddings, receptions, corporate events, private parties, cocktail hours, and dinner sets.

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.

I started Discoboxx in 2022 to bring a more stylish and tasteful approach to weddings and events in North Carolina. For ten years, I was fortunate to help grow two of the biggest and most successful DJ collectives in Los Angeles, DJing hundreds of weddings and playing at the most stunning event venues and nightlife spots. When my family decided to move to Raleigh, I knew I would have the opportunity to create a new experience for clients in The Tar Heel State looking for something different. A wedding DJ company for couples not looking for a “wedding DJ.”

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!

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.

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.

As a venue owner Stylus S.E. Is always an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication is prompt and thorough, ensuring we feel prepared and confident leading up to the big day. On the day of, their professionalism and ability to keep the dance floor packed and guests entertained is unmatched. Once, when an unexpected power outage struck, Stylus came through with a battery backup for their equipment and some battery-operated lights, literally saving the reception. We would highly recommend Stylus S.E. to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding band and DJ service.

DJ Stephen did our wedding in September 2025 and we couldn't recommend him enough! When looking for a wedding DJ we wanted someone who was queer friendly and had great taste in music and Stephen exceeded all expectations. Stephen was so friendly, professional, super easy to work with and really listened to our music vision and vibe that we wanted to create. He arrived early to set up the sound system for the ceremony and all of his equipment (mics, speakers, lights) worked great throughout the night. The music selection was fantastic and kept everyone dancing all night long. We appreciated that he didn't rely on the same overplayed wedding songs but mixed it up in line with our tastes. We absolutely would recommend DJ Stephen to all of our friends!
