A Night to Remember made our day absolutely perfect. David took such care and attention to details with every song that we chose. He called us the week of and played every song for our ceremony and special dances/events to make sure they were the right song, artist, version, and where to actually start and end the songs. That attention to detail made us feel so calm and know that he was going to make everything as perfect as possible for our wedding. He played such a good variety of songs that got everyone dancing and his announcing made everyone so excited for every moment. We couldn’t have picked a better dj for our event!

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.

  • 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.

We met Spencer at a wedding expo in Raleigh and immediately knew he would be a good fit to DJ our wedding. He was INCREDIBLE. Everyone loved him. He kept everyone dancing the entire time. Everyone from every generation was on the dance floor (which was important to us). Spencer even jumped on the dance floor a few times and the crowd went WILD! Our wedding was a blast because of him. Also, working with Stylus was the best experience. There are so many moving parts to a wedding and you work with so many different vendors, Stylus was by far our favorite. They were professional, organized, and easy to communicate with. 5 stars all around.

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 was meant to be for us to have Sam be the DJ at our nerdy chic wedding.

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!
