We worked with Marty for our wedding and could not have asked for a better DJ. Marty is an excellent communicator, fun to work with, and made our dance party amazing! He made himself available for the planning process and made us feel very supported. Thank you Marty! We cant recommend you enough.

Thank you! It was an honor to help you & Alex celebrate your wedding at North Carolina Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill! As a DJ it was so fun to see you both just be able to have fun with everyone all night, and of course Alex doing "the worm" in a tux was absolutely epic! Cheers Annie ;)
Highly recommend Marty!

Marty was awesome to work with. He is very professional and communicates well. He asks questions, listens to, and cares about what you want. I was fairly particular about what I like and don't like, and he followed through 100% on the day of. We also had a fairly good mix of cultures at this wedding and it didn't scare him one bit. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks Marty!

Marty Nightengale - DJ. MC. Entertainer. was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, his communication style was responsive, prompt, helpful, and crystal clear. We could tell he was an extremely professional, easy-going, attentive, and engaged vendor. On the day of, Marty made sure we were able to sit back and relax without putting any added stress on us. One of our favorite moments was towards the end of the night when he joined us on the dance floor with the mic for the last song - he felt like another family member partying with us! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ and MC to keep our wedding celebration going strong all night long.

Marty's first impression to last song was nothing less than ultra-professional. His experience is evident. His personality is professional but fun. His price-to-value...I feel like we couldn't have made a better choice. He was prompt, organized, experienced, music-loving, attentive to Bride, groom, family, and guests. He was sensitive to include all genres for all ages and kept the vibe all night long. If you are seeking a no-hassle D.J. for your event, you have just found him!!

Yes! You can be as specific or open as you'd like about your music preferences. I'm here to make this perfect for what you and your guests like.

I have an amazing app called Vibo that lets you easily import music from your own playlists (Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Youtube), make specific song requests, view my recommended playlists to get ideas, and fill in wedding info so it's all in one place. Plus you can even invite your guests to make song requests on the app before the wedding.

I use wireless speakers that can be placed anywhere, and I use wireless lapel mini microphones for the officiant, and couples vows & guest readings. My speakers are waterproof and I'm not afraid of a little rain! My rule is "if you can stand outside in it, so can I".

Good sound equipment makes people want to dance more and I use top-quality sound equipment from RCF that immerses you in sound at any volume; you've haven't heard music sound this good before! For lighting I use modern tube/bar lights that are wireless so they can be placed anywhere, they're bright enough to make a party vibe but unlike traditional lighting they don't blind people or ruin the photos during the event. I also offer room up-lighting to enhance the look of any venue by coloring the walls with colored light. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.

Yes! I always setup a wireless microphone to use for any toasts/speeches.

I perform weddings in NC, VA, & SC. I charge a travel fee for weddings outside of the Raleigh-Chapel Hill-Durham areas of NC. Contact me with your wedding location & date for an accurate pricing estimate.

I customize the music to match the client and the event. I'm completely comfortable with a wide variety of music; Pop, Rap/Hip-Hop, Rock, EDM, Country, Latin, R&B, Motown, Funk, modern hits, early 2000's, 90's, 80's, 70's, etc. When it's dance time I do real DJ transitions to keep the dance floor energy going and I read the crowd to match the music to the event & guests. You deserve more than a budget Spotify DJ that doesn't care if your guests leave and the dance floor is empty. I'm also well versed in non-dance music for the times when you need good music at a non-dance energy for cocktail hour, dinner, or a welcome party.

Let me know your date & location, then I'll give you a pricing quote and answer any questions you have. If you'd like to move forward with booking I'll send you a contract to look over and e-sign. Then a 50% deposit is due within 30 days, I accept most major forms of payment like credit card, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, ACH transfer, and a mailed check. After I receive the deposit you're all set! I'll reach out to setup a time to chat on a phone call or video call to start getting a feel on your wedding vibe.

Room Up-lighting is a set of wireless lights that are placed on the floor and shoot a soft beam of colored light up the wall. I control these lights to match my dance floor lighting and can change them from a soft color during dinner and then changing along with the music colors during dancing. This is a great and inexpensive way to decorate a venue and really makes the room feel like a party. I have examples of these in my profile "Photos & Videos" section.
