Marty made our wedding such a breeze! He set up short zoom meetings with us a few months in advance and tocuhed on topics that I didn't even know I needed to consider! He made us feel like things were very under control and he handled everything! His software for selecting music leading up to the event was very user friendly. The day of the event he made sure everything went smoothly and stayed in the background unless we needed him! He's such a nice and caring person and really goes above and beyond to make your event PERFECT! Thank you, Marty! We couldn't have done this without you!! -Z&M

As the principal of Pearsontown Elementary, I want to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to the DJ who made our school dance an absolute hit! From the moment the first track dropped, it was clear this DJ knew exactly how to get our students excited and keep the energy high all night long. The music selection was spot-on—perfectly tailored to our students' tastes, with a great mix of fun, upbeat songs that had everyone on the dance floor. The DJ created an atmosphere where the kids felt comfortable, confident, and most importantly, had a blast. There was never a lull in the energy, and it was clear that the DJ was in tune with the crowd, adjusting the playlist as needed to keep the momentum going. What stood out the most was the DJ’s ability to connect with the students. They didn’t just play music; they encouraged the kids to get involved, create their own dance moves, and really engage with the event. It was more than just a dance—it was an experience. Thank you so much to our DJ for making this event so memorable! You helped create an unforgettable night for our students, and I can’t recommend you highly enough for any school event in the future.

Stylus S.E. 
Rating: 5.0 (21 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,695
  • Serves West End, 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.

Spencer (Samson) was the absolute BEST!! He really kept our reception moving and people out on the dance floor. He even got out there himself to keep the energy high. Our Photo Booth attendant was great as well. He made sure people were having fun and we got some really great pictures. From the moment we met Spencer almost an entire year before our wedding we never hesitated he was the right choice. Stylus was perfect and so accommodating when we did things like move our last dance down to the dock (which then ended up having to be on the back patio) and setting up quickly for our sparkler exit and had the perfect songs playing along the way. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as amazing without this team!

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!

It would be waaaay easier to describe what I did NOT like about working with DJG Music and Entertaining than what I DID like. Simply put, I do not know of ONE single thing negative to say about George. He knows his stuff!! He kept our wedding guests entertained, active, and happy!! He was punctual (early even), excellently prepared, and just an all out awesome DJ. Not to mention THE most reasonable DJ we checked out!! If you find yourself in need of a DJ service, you will be doing yourself a DISservice if you don't contact George!!

  • Serves West End, NC

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!

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.”

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!

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!
