Where do I even start? Marty is just the best. Planning a wedding by myself was very stressful. I am from a Persian background, and I wanted to have an American wedding while also implementing my culture. From the moment that I spoke with Marty, I knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He has a calming and reassuring energy that not only assured me we could get any type of music we like, but he helped me plan my entire timeline. Every single time I had a concern, he would have a solution. He used an app that allowed me to add the music I wanted, including Persian music. At our walk-through, he worked with our other vendors to make sure the layout was perfect for us on our wedding day. Then finally on the wedding day we got to see how great he really is. He was checking in and helping keep us on schedule. When we got to the dance floor he mixed Persian music with American songs so perfectly that there was not a single person sitting down. It was so awesome seeing all of my relatives and all of my husband’s family dance together. And there is no way this could have been possible without Marty Nightengale! Everybody loved him, and I would hire him again and again and again.

Working with RocThaSpot Events was such a great choice for our wedding. From our first conversation, they got back to us quickly and answered all our questions in a way that was easy to understand. On the day of our wedding, they read the room perfectly and played songs that kept our guests dancing all night long. The team was warm and flexible, rolling with any last-minute requests we threw their way.

As the Event Planner for a recent wedding, I had the complete joy and honor of working with Mo for several months. His attention to detail and everything regarding the music, sound and lighting was top tier!! He was very professional and well organized. He showed up on time and had plenty of time to get all of his equipment in place for the ceremony and reception. At one point during the planning process, he went above and beyond to meet with the Fire Marshall regarding the cold sparks because the Fire Marshall had questions about the venue. Mo became familiar with the couple and learned about them and their style of music that they loved and what their guest would enjoy. Once the party started, he kept the dance floor packed and read the room well. The Photo Booth was very modern, sleek and well ran by the attendant. It was aesthetically pleasing to the eye as to not take away from the other decor in the room. If you are trying to decide between Mo/Wanjama productions and another DJ, choose Mo!! You will not be disappointed and he will make the planning process and your life much easier!!

DJ Kash

Raleigh, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,000

DJ Kash is a professional wedding DJ & MC with 15+ years of experience creating seamless, high-energy celebrations across North Carolina and beyond. He specializes in South-Asian, Middle-Eastern, multicultural and fusion weddings, blending music across cultures and generations in a way that feels natural and inclusive. Known for his calm presence, thoughtful planning, smooth MC-skills and live mixing, DJ Kash focuses on smooth flow, great vibes, and unforgettable dance floors. Every event is approached with care, professionalism, and genuine attention to detail. Spreading good-vibes, 1 event at a time. www . djkashNC . com

I was so thrilled to have found DJ Kash to help make our Sangeet a memorable experience for everyone! I found him through instagram, as one of the premier South Asian DJ's in the triangle area, and after listening to his sets, I knew he would be the perfect fit for our event. We reached out, and within a few weeks, we had a signed contract, he had added at my request, a Dholi and I felt that he would deliver even though we'd booked him over a year in advance. Kashif is professional, fun, and can read a crowd and vibe incredibly well. He blended western music with Bollywood hits and for our Sangeet he played a live, mixed set which was DOPE. Everyone loved the music and would not get off the dance floor. Additionally, he was incredibly flexible- I had literally no direction for him (mostly because I trusted him) and he was able to accommodate last minute requests without complaints. And thank you Kashif, for encouraging me to keep the Dholi, because between the two of you, the event was more memorable than I could have imagined. Kashif made the space beautiful with his uplighting, which was a welcome addition to his standard cost, and set up and tore down with no issue in a very busy downtown Raleigh venue. I would 100% use him again if I ever needed to. The music was phenomenal, bangers all night- and the talent was immense and clear. Thank you so much for making my wedding weekend so memorable!

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $2,000

Sarah started playing harp for weddings in 2009 at the age of 14. She has loved playing at weddings, anniversary parties, rehearsal dinners, and elopements ever since. She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

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's a real pleasure to photograph weddings where Discoboxx is the DJ because we know folks are going to be dancing. Ralph is an expert in catering music to his couples' tastes while also keeping the party going. He's kind, communicative, professional, and absolutely amazing at what he does.

CWDJ - Luxury Wedding DJ 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Raleigh, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995

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. We now have over 85 amazing five star reviews on google from past brides and we’re fully insured.

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!!

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!

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 is exceptional and played perfect music for our crowd. He was so engaged and has a great command of energy for the room. Outstanding Experience!

Hi, I’m Stephen. I’m a professional wedding DJ and musician with a PhD in Music Composition. I help couples create weddings that feel fun, modern, and genuinely them. You won’t get a cookie-cutter playlist or a DJ who just presses play. You get a thoughtfully curated soundtrack that reflects your style, your people, and the energy you want at every moment. From the ceremony to the last song of the night, I focus on making your wedding feel welcoming, inclusive, and unforgettable. The goal is simple. You and your guests have the best time possible.

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!
