From the very first meeting, we could tell Marty was professional, responsive, and genuinely excited to make our day special. He helped us plan out music for each part of the day, made suggestions, and took all our requests on board. Marty's ability to read a dance floor is second to none. From our grandparents to our college friends, he made sure there was something for everyone. The sound quality was fantastic, the transitions between songs were excellent, and the lighting equipment he provides is outstanding.

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.

Stylus S.E. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! They had great communication throughout the planning process, always responding promptly to our questions and keeping us updated. On the day of, their work was excellent - they kept the dance floor packed all night with an energetic and fun vibe. Spencer, our DJ, was absolutely amazing. He was prompt, energetic, and kind, and just incredible overall. We're so glad we chose Stylus S.E. and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch wedding bands and 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Joey went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding DJ. The music was very important to my husband so he had curated pre-set playlist to give to Joey. Joey took my husbands playlist for the different parts of the day (pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, reception) and expounded on them! The vibes were high the whole day. However, not only did Joey keep the music and energy going, he was also very helpful as a wedding timeline keeper/coordinator. Genuinely, I think he was more helpful than my day of coordinator from a timeline perspective. To top everything off, his prices are more than fair. I would recommend Joey 10 out of 10 times!

  • Serves Chapel Hill, 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.

Honestly, I would love to be friends with Stephen Downing! I loved his vibe from the beginning, and my husband and I are so glad to have booked him for our wedding in November 2025! Stephen was easy to work with from the beginning. We had a quick phone call at the inception of planning to get a rough outline of what we were looking for. Stephen provided a handy shared document for us to brainstorm the ceremony and reception music from the start of the day to the end! I was a very DIY bride, so I’m so thankful that he shared this document with us early so that I could get to work! Not only did Stephen play our favorite tunes on the dance floor, but he also announced for our whole reception and provided the setup for our ceremony. His setup is impressive and made complete by some extremely fun dance floor lighting. Honestly, working with Stephen made my wedding planning a breeze. I didn’t have to think about the actual flow of the night at all. He has weddings down to a science, taking into consideration every part of the day to make sure the vibe is always right! If my husband and I could get married again, we would absolutely pick Stephen Downing! I wish our reception could have lasted forever. I’m still wishing to get back on that dance floor with all of our friends! Thank you, Stephen, for the most magical night!

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!

We cannot recommend DJ Ones and Erick enough! From the beginning of working together, Erick made sure to check in with us about our preferences and was incredibly understanding of our requests. He was patient, professional, and collaborative, all things we really valued in our experience leading up to our wedding day. When it came to our actual wedding day, there aren't enough kind words to express how much we enjoyed having Erick and his team around! He was expertly flexible when it came to our ceremony and cocktail hour setup as we bounced back and forth on our rain plan within minutes of our ceremony start time. And my goodness, the dance floor! Our group is full of dancers from every part of our lives, and we have never heard so many compliments as we had for Erick from our friends and family. Every single song, every single second, was full of life and perfectly tailored to our party's vibe. To say Erick was the kindest and easiest to work with would be an understatement. We cannot thank him and the rest of the DJ Ones team enough for all their work to make our wedding day the best day of our lives!!!

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!

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.
