About Joey's DJ Service

Joey's DJ Service

Bands & DJs

I am DJ Joey B, owner of Joey’s DJ Service based in Durham, NC. I have been DJing professionally since 2005, with weddings as a major focus of my work. On your wedding day, I serve as both DJ and Master of Ceremonies, guiding the timeline, managing transitions, and keeping guests engaged from ceremony through the final song. I provide professional sound, wireless microphones, and clean lighting to support the full experience. Planning is clear and streamlined with an online portal for music selections, Do Not Play songs, and key details.

Couples often say they feel calm and confident throughout the planning process because I am responsive, attentive, and proactive. I focus on the details, including specific song versions and the timing of key moments, so nothing feels rushed or overlooked. When it is time to dance, I read the room in real time and adjust the music so guests of all ages stay engaged and included. If plans shift due to weather or timing, I adapt quickly to keep everything moving smoothly. My goal is simple: a steady timeline, a full dance floor, and a celebration that feels completely like you.

    Prefect wedding day!

    From the moment we booked Joey's DJ Service, we knew we made the right choice. They stayed in touch throughout the planning process and answered every question we had without any confusion or delays. On the day of our wedding, Joey showed up prepared and professional, making sure we had everything we needed to get started on time. The music was perfectly timed and kept our guests dancing all night long. We got exactly what we paid for with no surprises, and honestly, the value was unbeatable. We can't thank Joey and his team enough for making our reception so special.

    Grace & Brennan, Thank you both so much for the incredibly kind words and for trusting Joey’s DJ Service with such an important day. I’m so glad you felt supported throughout the planning process and that everything felt smooth and stress free leading up to the wedding. That level of communication and preparation is something I work very hard to provide for every couple. Once the reception started, your guests brought amazing energy to the dance floor all night long, and it was so much fun helping create a celebration that reflected the two of you. I truly appreciate the trust you placed in me and the entire team. Thank you again for the wonderful review, and congratulations to you both!

    A mildly flawed, but overall great experience

    I liked Joey as soon as we talked as he seemed to understand our vision. There were a few misshaps that day (forgot to play our song after the ceremony, played a song overlaying ours at our first dance, and then songs at the end of the night I did not request). But he’s a really good guy and definitely cares about his job. We were dancing all night!

    Thank you so much, Laura. It was truly a pleasure being part of your wedding day. You and Daniel created such a personal and fun celebration, and I’m so glad everyone was out on the dance floor all night. I also appreciate your grace regarding the couple of mistakes during the evening. While no event is ever completely perfect, I always want every moment to go exactly as planned, and I take those situations seriously. I’m grateful for how relaxed and good humored you both were throughout the night. Your wedding had so many memorable moments, and I’m thankful I had the opportunity to be part of it. Wishing you and Daniel all the best as you start this next chapter together.

    A night we’ll never forget

    We hired Joey for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made! Music was incredibly important to us, and he absolutely delivered beyond our expectations. From the ceremony to the last song of the night, every track was perfectly timed and fit the vibe we wanted. He read the crowd so well! He was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. If you’re looking for a DJ who knows how to create an unforgettable atmosphere, we highly recommend him!

    Top-Notch DJ Services! Great Choice for Your Event

    Joey’s DJ Service was an excellent choice for our Durham, NC wedding! Joey was so kind and friendly from the jump, and we liked and trusted him starting from our consultation call at the beginning of planning our event. Even at that early stage, Joey was already advocating for us to have the wedding we wanted, sharing tips on how to structure the day so we were able to set aside time for private moments of introvert connection during a very social, family-focused event. We ended up booking him to provide music for our entire wedding day, from pre-ceremony music (played while guests were arriving and taking their seats) through the ceremony (including microphones for the officiant and groom) through cocktail hour, dinner, special dances and toasts, and the dance party portion of the reception. Joey’s attention to detail, including making sure he knew which specific versions of the songs we requested we wanted to play, and which music lined up with specific points in the schedule of events, was unmatched. Joey’s client portal made it easy to share our music choices for all these different parts of our big day. He paid close attention to our playlists/requests for the dance party while also mixing in some of his own selections, reading the room and ensuring everyone had something to dance to; this was especially impressive given that our guests ranged in age from infants to octogenarians! He was also sensitive to the nuances of a big family gathering: My dad and I don’t have a close relationship, so my mom and I did a mother-daughter dance in place of the traditional father-daughter one. When my dad put in a song request later in the evening, telling Joey he intended to ask me to dance with him to that song, Joey pulled me aside to make sure it was okay first before honoring the request. My new husband and I loved working with Joey’s DJ Service for our wedding, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this seasoned professional to anyone planning a special event.

    Kelly and Austin, thank you so much for this incredible and heartfelt review. It was truly an honor to be part of your wedding day in Durham. From our very first call, I knew you two had a clear vision for a meaningful, intentional celebration, and I’m grateful you trusted me to help bring that vision to life. Your attention to detail made it easy for me to support you, your music selections, the thoughtful pacing of the day, and your openness in sharing what mattered most all helped shape an experience that felt genuinely “you.” I’m so glad the client portal and planning process made everything smooth and stress-free along the way. It means a lot to hear that the flow, version-specific song choices, and the dance floor experience all landed exactly as you hoped, especially with such a wonderfully diverse group of guests. And thank you for acknowledging the moment with your dad; supporting those sensitive, personal pieces of a wedding day is something I take very seriously, and I’m glad I could help navigate it in a way that felt respectful to you. I truly enjoyed working with both of you and being part of a day filled with so much love, intention, and personality. Wishing you all the happiness in the world, and thank you again for your trust and your kind words. Joey
