Marty was literally the best decision we made for our 5/18 wedding! From ceremony music to cocktail hour to an epic dance party reception he kept our guest engaged and having a blast all night! We added 1 hour of live music to our reception and cannot recommend that option enough it was so fun and interactive and got everyone out on the dance floor. I have received so many compliments on the "wedding DJ" and even have been asked by a few guests for his contact information for their own events. Thank you so much Marty!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

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!

  • Serves Wendell, NC

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.

Stylus was professional from the beginning of our search for our DJ, to the very end of our reception. Spencer was great at listening to us, and facilitating the most fun atmosphere for us and our guests! A fun night was had by all, and our wedding guests did not want to leave. Kudos to Spencer for help making a night we will always remember and cherish! Highly recommend Stylus and Spencer as your 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!
