DJ Trey Entertainment is AMAZING! The team was so easy to work with, very responsive and always helpful. I haven’t had a positive customer service experience like that since before Covid. Trey was a fantastic DJ! The music during the ceremony was flawless. The reception was perfect between the video montage, the personalized monogram and the cold sparks! He kept the party going by playing all the right songs! The dance floor was packed all night!

Almost 4 months married and our friends still ask us about the best DJ ever, Marty Nightingale!! Marty is the best! We can't imagine our wedding day without Marty DJ'ing and MC'ing our event. He handled all audio from welcome drinks, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and nailed it at every stage. He set the vibe for each phase of the evening, and when it is time to dance, he brings the energy and gets the crowd going. He's great at reading the room and giving the dance floor what it needs. Besides throwing an amazing party, Marty was awesome to work with. He's personable and thorough. He was very attentive throughout the whole planning process and together we prepared everything from the general flow and vibe of the night down to the smaller details. He let us be involved as much or as little as we wanted. We don't know of a better wedding DJ. Maybe we're biased because he was our wedding DJ, but we don't think so. Marty is THE guy for your wedding!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

Danamare Productions Mobile DJ & Karaoke

  • DJ
  • Starts at $749
  • Serves Wilmington, NC

I started DJing back during my college years at Penn State in 1982. In the beginning, I was helping a friend of mine who bought a complete DJ setup from a business who was selling one of their systems. We did frat parties, formals & some of the local State College bars. After college I moved to Binghamton, NY. There I had a six month radio show on a public station. I also worked some of the local bars under the name Sounds Fantastic. Fast forward to January of 2000 we moved to Raleigh,NC to bring our musical experience to the south!

Danamare Productions Mobile DJ & Karaoke was a fantastic choice for our wedding entertainment. From the start, Dan had a direct and easy communication style that made working with him a breeze. He was incredibly helpful, easy to work with, and delivered exactly what we needed for our special day. We had several special music requests for different parts of the wedding, and Dan handled them all without any mistakes. The music and energy he brought to the dance floor kept our guests entertained all night long. We would absolutely love to work with Dan and Danamare Productions again in the future. HIRE HIM!

Awarded Best of Zola
BEST DJ EVER!! Our entire experience with Mixology was amazing! They were super communicative so we didn’t have to repeatedly reach out to get a response from them which I really appreciated. Planning: They give you an app to use in which you can answer questions about your timeline and even import songs directly from Spotify or find on YouTube. It was super user friendly! Our assigned DJ, Angel reached out to use for a quick planning call a couple weeks before our wedding. He was prepared, super friendly and excited about our wedding. We ended the call being super thrilled to have an energetic DJ and felt very confident. Wedding Day: DJ ANGEL KILLED IT!! I’m Hispanic but my husband is white so I wanted all announcements in Spanish and English plus lots of Spanish music. He blended everything so well and picked the funnest songs! Our guests were raving about him and my sister who is getting married also booked him as a result. We had added a custom monogram light display plus the dance on a cloud feature and WOW! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! Worth every penny! I did tons of research beforehand and even listened to mixtapes before booking a DJ. Nothing is worse than hearing a DJ with an awful transition or lame songs but this was not the case. I had zero issues with Mixology and will always HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!

Dj Touché truly made planning my wedding a lot easier! I was a very chill bride which to some was great but to others it made things more difficult.

He even freestyled a little and he 100% nailed the vibe! The Photo Booth was truly a hit at my wedding and I had no idea I’d get to see all the pictures people were taking during the wedding!

There are not words to describe how much we loved having DJ Krystyle perform at our Aug 2024 wedding. She was very responsive, communicative, and has a super easy online portal that helps capture every detail you could think of for the event music. She’s also a lovely human in general to work with. We went with the approach of choosing the major songs and providing general recommendations around genres and let the expert handle the rest. We had multiple guests tell us they could not stop dancing or singing along the entire night. We had every age group on the dance floor. If it’s any indication - my photographer had to remind me a few times to stop bouncing around so she could get some good still shots. In our opinion, it doesn’t get any better than DJ Krystyle.

From the very beginning, he was incredibly accommodating and made sure to follow all of our music requests.
