LPE was FABULOUS at our end of April wedding! My guests still talk about how fun our wedding was because of the amazing live music. All three guys that performed were so KIND, FUN, and PROFESSIONAL! They played a variety of genres and even did a song or two in Spanish. We were so impressed. We requested a sweetheart dance for just my new husband and I, and LPE sang and played it perfectly - it was so special! These guys are super talented and I would recommend them for any event that you would want people to never forget!

DJ Stephen Downing 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves Wendell, 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!

Stylus S.E. 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • 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.

As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many DJs over the years, but Stylus S.E. is who I always choose for my own events, and I refer them to anyone looking. Most recently, they did a fantastic job at my 25-year high school reunion in Wilmington, keeping the energy flowing and the crowd entertained even when everyone wanted a break from dancing. Stylus S.E. is punctual, caring, and intentional in their communication, and they have a keen ability to read the room and adapt their music selections accordingly. Their extensive knowledge and experience truly shine through, making them a valuable asset for any wedding or event. I highly recommend Stylus S.E. to any couple looking for a top-notch 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!

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.

Having a violinist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions that we made, and Sweet Harmony made it SO easy. They were communicative, professional, and had a platform that made choosing songs and getting organized a breeze. It was affordable as far as wedding add-ons goes and classed up the wedding, our guests were all excited and impressed. Our violinist was incredibly talented and added an incredible flair. We chose a hip hop theme he nailed it (classy but also super fun and energetic). My only regret is that we were so busy that we didn't get to stop and truly appreciate it as much as we should have.
